Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization and Basis of Presentation
Founded in 1904, ESAB Corporation (“ESAB” or the “Company”) is a focused premier industrial compounder providing technologies that enable the fabrication, control, inspection and monitoring of critical products and infrastructure. The portfolio includes welding and cutting systems, consumables, gas control equipment, automation and robotics, digital software and advanced inspection technologies across a variety of sectors. The Company’s rich history of innovative products, workflow solutions and its business management system, ESAB Business Excellence with AI (“EBXai”), enables the Company’s purpose of Shaping the world we imagineTM. The Company conducts its operations through two reportable segments. These segments consist of the “Americas,” which includes operations in North America and South America, and “EMEA & APAC,” which includes Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa and Asia Pacific.

The Company’s fiscal year ends December 31. The Company’s third quarter ends on the last business day of the 13th complete week after the end of the prior quarter. As used herein, the third quarter results for 2026 and 2025 refer to the 13-week periods ended October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2025, respectively.

Eddyfi Acquisition

On June 1, 2026, ESAB completed its previously announced acquisition of Eddyfi Holding Inc. (“Eddyfi”), a global leader in advanced inspection and monitoring technologies, incorporated under the laws of the Province of Québec. See Note 3, “Acquisitions” for further information.

Russia and Ukraine Conflict

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the sanctions imposed in response have increased the level of economic and political uncertainty. While ESAB continues to closely monitor the situation and evaluate options, the Company is meeting current contractual obligations while addressing applicable laws and regulations. For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, Russia represented approximately 5% of the Company’s Net sales and contributed $1.5 million and $1.4 million to the Company’s Net income, respectively. Russia also has approximately 4% of the Company’s total net assets as of October 2, 2026, including approximately $51 million of Cash and cash equivalents that have been, and may continue to be, subject to delays in withdrawing from Russia, based upon the current environment at that time. In case of the disposition of the Russia business, a portion of goodwill would need to be allocated and disposed of at the relative fair value attributable to the Russia business. Russia has a cumulative translation loss of approximately $110 million as of October 2, 2026, which would be realized upon a transition out. The Company is closely monitoring developments in Ukraine and Russia. Changes in laws and regulations or other factors impacting the Company’s ability to fulfill contractual obligations could have an adverse effect on the results of operations and cash flows.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods indicated. Intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

In the normal course of business, the Company incurs research and development costs related to new product development, which are expensed as incurred and included in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Company’s Consolidated and Condensed Statements of Operations. Research and development costs were $13.7 million and $39.5 million during the three and nine months ended October 2, 2026, respectively, and $10.5 million and $31.1 million for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2025, respectively. These amounts do not include development and application engineering costs incurred in conjunction with fulfilling customer orders and executing customer projects, nor do they include costs related to securing third party product rights. The Company expects to continue making significant expenditures for research and development to maintain and improve its competitive positions.
The accompanying interim Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC on February 20, 2026.
