See Note 5 for a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are reported at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under terms of the Plan. See Note 3 for a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at contract value.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.

Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and those changes could materially affect the participants' accounts and amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.</span></div> <div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Notes Receivable from Participants</span></div><div style="padding-left:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.

The Plan's unrealized net appreciation and realized gains and losses are included in the Change in Plan's interest in Master Trust.</span></div> <div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Payment of Benefits</span></div><div style="padding-left:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Benefits are recorded when paid.</span></div> <div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Administrative Expenses</span></div><div style="padding-left:18pt"><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Certain administrative expenses of the Plan may be paid from Plan assets to the extent permissible by the Plan document. Expenses are identified as either specific or common fees. Specific fees, if any, are charged entirely to the Plan. Common fees are prorated to the Plan based on the Plan assets in relation to Master Trust assets.</span></div> INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES<div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Plan's investments in the Master Trust include fully benefit-responsive investment contracts in the Stable Asset Fund. The accounts for these contracts are credited with contributions and earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Through the Stable Asset Fund, the Plan holds both traditional and synthetic investment contracts. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The traditional investment contracts held by the Plan are guaranteed investment contracts. The contract issuers, which are all insurance companies, are contractually obligated to repay the principal and interest at specified interest rates that are guaranteed to the Plan. The traditional investment contracts provide a fixed crediting rate for the duration of the contract.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The synthetic investment contracts held by the Plan include wrap contracts with insurance companies. The Plan owns the underlying investments of these contracts and the wrap contract issuers guarantee that the crediting rate will not fall below zero percent. The synthetic investment contracts provide for a variable crediting rate, which typically resets at least quarterly, and the issuer of the wrap contract provides assurance that future adjustments to the crediting rate cannot result in a crediting rate less than zero. The crediting rate is primarily based on the current yield to maturity of the covered investments, plus or minus amortization of the difference between the market value and contract value of the covered investments at the time of computation.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuers or otherwise.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Certain events, such as Plan termination, may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer.

Within the Master Trust, the investment assets of the Plan reside in the ITW Defined Contribution Plans' Investment Account (the "DC Investment Account"). Plan investments and investment income reported in the Plan's financial statements represent the Plan's interest in the Master Trust's net assets and investment income and expenses.</span></div><div style="padding-left:20.25pt"><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Each participating plan's interest in the Master Trust is based on the aggregate account balances of the participants in the respective participating plan. The Master Trust specifically identifies contributions, benefit payments, and plan-specific expenses attributable to each participating plan. Investment gains (losses) are allocated to each participating plan in the Master Trust on a daily basis based on each plan's divided interest in the Master Trust.</span></div><div><span

In addition, the Recordkeeper was paid administrative fees by the Plan in the Plan year. As defined by ERISA, any person or organization which provides these services to the Plan qualifies as a party-in-interest. The Company is also a party-in-interest according to Section 3(14) of ERISA because the Illinois Tool Works Inc. Common Stock Fund is a Plan investment option. Company stock dividends are paid to the Plan. In addition, notes receivable from participants are considered to be party-in-interest transactions for which a statutory exemption from the prohibited transaction regulation exists.</span></div> PLAN TERMINATION<div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA and negotiated contracts.</span></div> TAX STATUS<div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on March 13, 2017, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan and related trust, as adopted, were designed in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan has been amended since the latest determination letter; however, the Company believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC in all material respects. Therefore, the Company believes that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement dates.</span></div>U.S. GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the organization has taken an uncertain position. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
