NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Trane Technologies plc, a public limited company, incorporated in Ireland in 2009, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively we, our, the Company or Trane Technologies) is a global climate innovator. The Company brings sustainable and efficient solutions to buildings, homes and transportation through the Company's strategic brands, Trane® and Thermo King®, and its environmentally responsible portfolio of products, services and connected intelligent controls. The Company generates revenue and cash primarily through the design, manufacture, sales and service of solutions for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), transport refrigeration, and custom refrigeration solutions.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Trane Technologies reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) interim reporting requirements. Accordingly, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for full financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the condensed consolidated results for the interim periods presented.

Reorganization of Aldrich and Murray

On May 1, 2020, certain subsidiaries of the Company underwent an internal corporate restructuring that was effectuated through a series of transactions (2020 Corporate Restructuring). As a result, Aldrich Pump LLC (Aldrich) and Murray Boiler LLC (Murray), indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Trane Technologies plc, became solely responsible for the asbestos-related liabilities, and the beneficiaries of the asbestos-related insurance assets, of Trane Technologies Company LLC and Trane U.S. Inc, respectively. On a consolidated basis, the 2020 Corporate Restructuring did not have an impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In connection with the 2020 Corporate Restructuring, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into funding agreements with Aldrich and Murray (collectively the Funding Agreements), pursuant to which those subsidiaries are obligated, among other things, to pay the costs and expenses of Aldrich and Murray during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases to the extent distributions from their respective subsidiaries are insufficient to do so and to provide an amount for the funding for a trust established pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent that the other assets of Aldrich and Murray are insufficient to provide the requisite trust funding.

On June 18, 2020 (Petition Date), Aldrich and Murray filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina (the Bankruptcy Court) to resolve equitably and permanently all current and future asbestos related claims in a manner beneficial to claimants, Aldrich and Murray. As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, all asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich and Murray have been stayed due to the imposition of a statutory automatic stay applicable in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. Only Aldrich and Murray have filed for Chapter 11 relief. Neither Aldrich's wholly-owned subsidiary, 200 Park, Inc. (200 Park), Murray's wholly-owned subsidiary, ClimateLabs LLC (ClimateLabs), Trane Technologies plc nor its other subsidiaries (the Trane Companies) are part of the Chapter 11 filings. The Trane Companies are expected to continue to operate as usual, with no disruption to their employees, suppliers, or customers globally. As of the Petition Date, Aldrich and its wholly-owned subsidiary 200 Park and Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClimateLabs were deconsolidated and their respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies," for more information regarding the status of Chapter 11 bankruptcy and asbestos-related matters.

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) to communicate changes to the codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU's. ASU's not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Liabilities - Supplier Finance Program (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Program Finance Obligations”, which requires that a company that enters into a supplier finance program disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. To achieve that objective, the company should disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2023, except for the amendment on roll forward information which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. See Note 7, "Supplier Financing Arrangements" for more information regarding the Company's supplier financing program.

Note 3. Inventories

The Facilities include Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics related to two of the Company’s sustainability commitments: a reduction in greenhouse gas intensity and an increase in the percentage of women in management. The Company's annual performance against these ESG metrics may result in price adjustments to the commitment fee and applicable interest rate.

The Facilities provide support for the Company’s commercial paper program and can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Trane Technologies plc, Trane Technologies Irish Holdings Unlimited Company, Trane Technologies Lux International Holding Company S.à.r.l. and Trane Technologies Company LLC each provide irrevocable and unconditional guarantees for these Facilities. In addition, each Borrower will guarantee the obligations under the Facilities of the other Borrowers. Total commitments of $2.0 billion were unused at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of the Company's debt instruments at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $4.5 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively. The Company measures the fair value of its debt instruments for disclosure purposes based upon observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar assets. These fair value inputs are considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. See Note 8, “Fair Value Measurements” for information on the fair value hierarchy.

Note 7. Supplier Financing Arrangements

The Company has an agreement with a U.S. financial institution that allows its suppliers to sell their receivables to the financial institution at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institution on terms that are negotiated between them. The Company may not always be notified when its suppliers sell receivables under this program.

The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including the amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to sell their receivables under the program. Outstanding invoices under the supplier financing program were $144.1 million and $110.6 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which are included within Accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability is as follows:

•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

•Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Observable market data is required to be used in making fair value measurements when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023:


In millions	Fair Value		Fair value measurements
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Assets:
Derivative instruments	$	1.2	$	—	$	1.2	$	—

Liabilities:
Derivative instruments	9.9		—		9.9		—
Contingent consideration	—		—		—		—

The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022:


In millions	Fair Value		Fair value measurements
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Assets:
Derivative instruments	$	5.1	$	—	$	5.1	$	—

Liabilities:
Derivative instruments	11.9		—		11.9		—
Contingent consideration	49.3		—		—		49.3

Derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts and instruments related to non-functional currency balance sheet exposures and commodity swaps. The fair value of the foreign exchange derivatives is determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable. The fair value of the commodity derivatives is valued under a market approach using publicized prices, where applicable, or dealer quotes.

On October 15, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of Farrar Scientific Corporation's (Farrar Scientific) assets. In connection with the acquisition, the Company agreed to contingent consideration of up to $115.0 million to be paid in 2025, tied to the attainment of key financial targets during the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. This additional payment, to the extent earned, will be payable in cash. The fair value of the contingent consideration is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model based on projections of revenues for Farrar Scientific during the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024, implied revenue volatility and a risk adjusted discount rate. Each quarter the Company is required to remeasure the fair value of the liability as assumptions change and such non-cash adjustments are recorded in Selling and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Contingent consideration related to acquisitions are measured at fair value each reporting period using Level 3 unobservable inputs. The changes in the fair value of the Company's Level 3 liabilities were as follows:


In millions	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Balance at beginning of period	$	49.3	$	96.2

Change in fair value of contingent consideration	(49.3)		(46.9)
Balance at end of period	$	—	$	49.3

The fair value of the contingent consideration is measured on a recurring basis at each reporting date. The following inputs and assumptions were used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration:


	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Discount rate	13.00	%	12.00	%
Volatility	20.00	%	20.00	%

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. There have been no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company's equity investments without a readily available fair value are accounted for using the measurement alternative and are measured at fair value when observable transactions of identical or similar securities occurs, or due to an impairment. When indicators of impairment exist or observable price changes of qualified transactions occur, the respective equity investment would be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value that require management’s judgment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment of an equity investment of $52.2 million within Other income/(expense), net.

Note 9. Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of the Company's U.S. employees. Additionally, the Company has many non-U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering eligible non-U.S. employees. Postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) provide healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits for certain eligible employees.

Pension Plans

The non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a final average pay formula while plans for most collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a flat dollar benefit formula or a percentage of pay formula. The non-U.S. pension plans generally provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Company also maintains additional other supplemental plans for officers and other key or highly compensated employees.

The components of the Company’s net periodic pension benefit cost for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows:


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
In millions	2023		2022		2023		2022

Amounts recorded in discontinued operations	1.6		1.0		4.8		2.9
Total	$	13.9	$	25.2	$	42.1	$	45.9

The Company made contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of $88.5 million and $82.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company currently projects that it will contribute a total of approximately $97 million to its enterprise plans worldwide in 2023.

The Net curtailment and settlement losses are associated with lump sum distribution under supplemental benefit plans for officers and other key employees.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that provide for healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits that cover certain eligible employees. These plans are unfunded and have no plan assets, but are instead funded by the Company on a pay-as-you-go basis in the form of direct benefit payments. Generally, postretirement health benefits are contributory with contributions adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are primarily noncontributory.

The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows:


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
In millions	2023		2022		2023		2022

September 30, 2023	252.3	24.5

Share repurchases are made from time to time in accordance with management's capital allocation strategy, subject to market conditions and regulatory requirements. Shares acquired and canceled upon repurchase are accounted for as a reduction of Ordinary shares and Capital in excess of par value, or Retained earnings to the extent Capital in excess of par value is exhausted. Shares acquired and held in treasury are presented separately on the balance sheet as a reduction to Equity and recognized at cost.

In February 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $3.0 billion of its ordinary shares (2022 Authorization) upon the completion of its $2.0 billion ordinary share repurchase program authorized in 2021 (2021 Authorization). During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company repurchased and canceled approximately $460 million of its ordinary shares, thus completing the 2021 Authorization and initiating repurchases under the 2022 Authorization of approximately $260 million of its ordinary shares leaving $2.7 billion remaining under the 2022 Authorization. Additionally, through October 31, 2023, the Company repurchased approximately $90 million of its ordinary shares under the 2022 Authorization.

Total Net revenues	$	4,882.9	$	4,371.9	$	13,253.5	$	11,917.9

Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for approximately 82% of the Company’s revenue for both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

Contract Balances

The opening and closing balances of contract assets and contract liabilities arising from contracts with customers for the period ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:


In millions	Location on Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Contract assets- - current	Other current assets	$	227.1	$	201.2
Contract assets - noncurrent	Other noncurrent assets	246.3		239.6
Contract liabilities - current	Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	1,159.9		1,010.6
Contract liabilities - noncurrent	Other noncurrent liabilities	494.2		471.4

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, contract assets, and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In general, the Company receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule established in its contracts. Contract assets relate to the conditional right to consideration for any completed performance under the contract when costs are incurred in excess of billings under the percentage-of-completion methodology. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract or when the Company has a right to consideration that is unconditional before it transfers a good or service to the customer. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, changes in contract asset and liability balances were not materially impacted by any other factors.

Approximately 9% and 50% of the contract liability balance at December 31, 2022 was recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Additionally, approximately 30% of the contract liability balance at September 30, 2023 was classified as noncurrent and not expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months.

Note 12. Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation plans under the fair value based method. Fair value is measured once at the date of grant and is not adjusted for subsequent changes. The Company’s share-based compensation plans include programs for stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance share units (PSUs) and deferred compensation.

Share-based compensation expense related to continuing operations is included in Selling and administrative expenses. The expense recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30 was as follows:


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
In millions	2023		2022		2023		2022
Stock options	$	2.2	$	2.1	$	14.0	$	12.3

Pre-tax expense	14.3		11.1		56.2		45.2
Tax benefit	(3.5)		(2.7)		(13.7)		(10.9)
After-tax expense	$	10.8	$	8.4	$	42.5	$	34.3
Amounts recorded in continuing operations	$	10.8	$	8.6	$	42.5	$	34.7
Amounts recorded in discontinued operations	—		(0.2)		—		(0.4)
Total	$	10.8	$	8.4	$	42.5	$	34.3

Grants issued during the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:


	2023			2022
	Number granted	Weighted- average fair value per award		Number granted	Weighted- average fair value per award
Stock options	390,905	$	46.72	429,796	$	35.96
RSUs	175,164	$	177.04	135,625	$	165.32
Performance shares (1)	207,086	$	207.12	192,826	$	170.30

(1) The number of performance shares represents the maximum award level.

Stock Options / RSUs

Eligible participants may receive (i) stock options, (ii) RSUs or (iii) a combination of both stock options and RSUs. The fair value of each of the Company’s stock option and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the 3-year vesting period. However, for stock options and RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense for the fair value at the grant date.

The average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the nine months ended September 30:


	2023		2022
Dividend yield	1.50	%	1.60	%
Volatility	29.36	%	28.23	%
Risk-free rate of return	3.60	%	1.56	%
Expected life in years	4.8		4.8

A description of the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock option awards is as follows:

•Dividend yield - The Company determines the dividend yield based upon the expected quarterly dividend payments as of the grant date and the current fair market value of the Company’s shares.

•Volatility - The expected volatility is based on a weighted average of the Company’s implied volatility and the most recent historical volatility of the Company’s shares commensurate with the expected life.

•Risk-free rate of return - The Company applies a yield curve of continuous risk-free rates based upon the published US Treasury spot rates on the grant date.

•Expected life in years - The expected life of the Company’s stock option awards represents the weighted-average of the actual period since the grant date for all exercised or canceled options and an expected period for all outstanding options.

Performance Shares

The Company has a Performance Share Program (PSP) for key employees. The program provides awards in the form of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company’s ordinary shares based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares.

PSU awards are earned based 50% upon a performance condition, measured by relative Cash Flow Return on Invested Capital (CROIC) to the S&P 500 Industrials Index over a 3-year performance period, and 50% upon a market condition, measured by the Company’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of the S&P 500 Industrials Index over a 3-year performance period. The fair value of the market condition is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model in a risk-neutral framework based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates and correlation matrix.

Deferred Compensation

The Company allows key employees to defer a portion of their eligible compensation into a number of investment choices, including its ordinary share equivalents. Any amounts invested in ordinary share equivalents will be settled in ordinary shares of the Company at the time of distribution.

Note 13. Other Income/(Expense), Net

The components of Other income/(expense), net for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows:


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
In millions	2023		2022		2023		2022
Interest income	$	3.6	$	2.4	$	11.1	$	5.2
Foreign currency exchange loss	(5.8)		(5.5)		(12.4)		(13.1)
Other components of net periodic benefit credit/(cost)	(4.7)		(13.9)		(15.0)		(11.6)
Other activity, net	(3.1)		(1.7)		(60.5)		(1.5)
Other income/(expense), net	$	(10.0)	$	(18.7)	$	(76.8)	$	(21.0)

Other income/(expense), net includes the results from activities other than core business operations such as interest income and foreign currency gains and losses on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency. In addition, the Company includes the components of net periodic benefit credit/(cost) for pension and postretirement obligations other than the service cost component. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $15.0 million settlement charge for a retired executive within other components of net periodic benefit credit/(cost).

Other activity, net primarily includes items associated with certain legal matters, as well as activities related to Murray. Refer to Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies," for more information regarding activities related to Murray. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded within other activity, net an impairment of an equity investment of $52.2 million.

Note 14. Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its Provision for income taxes by applying an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 20.5% and 18.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments and earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which in aggregate have a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by an impairment of an equity investment, which is currently nondeductible, and U.S. state and local taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a $33.1 million reduction in valuation allowances on certain net state deferred tax assets partially offset by a related $4.2 million expense associated with a deferred tax revaluation resulting from U.S. legal entity restructurings. These items have reduced the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 by 1.7 percentage points. In addition, excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments and earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which in aggregate have a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by U.S. state and local taxes, provided net effective tax rate benefits.

Total unrecognized tax benefits for September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $84.4 million and $82.4 million, respectively. Although management believes its tax positions and related provisions reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are fully supportable, it recognizes that these tax positions and related provisions may be challenged by various tax authorities. These tax positions and related provisions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are adjusted as additional facts and information become available, including progress on tax audits, changes in interpretations of tax laws, developments in case law and closing of statute of limitations. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in Provision for income taxes.

The Provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. These examinations on their own, or any subsequent litigation related to the examinations, may result in additional taxes or penalties against the Company. If the ultimate result of these audits differ from original or adjusted estimates, they could have a material impact on the Company’s provision for income taxes. In general, the examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns is complete or effectively settled for years prior to 2016. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2016 to 2019 are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In general, the examination of the Company’s material non-U.S. income tax returns is complete or effectively settled for the years prior to 2013, with certain matters prior to 2013 being resolved through appeals and litigation and also unilateral procedures as provided for under double tax treaties.

Note 15. Acquisitions

On May 2, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of MTA S.p.A (MTA) for $224.4 million, net of cash acquired, financed through commercial paper and cash on hand. MTA is a leading industrial process cooling technology business which brings complementary, high-performing solutions to the comprehensive Commercial HVAC product and services portfolios in the EMEA and Americas segments. Intangible assets associated with this acquisition totaled $93.3 million and primarily relate to customer relationships. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $113.0 million, inclusive of the impact of measurement period adjustments. The goodwill created in the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. The values assigned to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary based on management’s current best estimate and subject to change as certain matters are finalized. The primary areas that remain open are related to tax. The results of the acquisition are reported within the EMEA and Americas segments from the date of acquisition.

On May 12, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of Helmer Scientific Inc (Helmer), a precision temperature cooling company in the life sciences vertical within the Americas segment. The aggregate cash paid, net of cash acquired, totaled $266.4 million and was financed through commercial paper and cash on hand. Intangible assets associated with this acquisition totaled $95.7 million and primarily relate to customer relationships. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $130.0 million, inclusive of the impact of measurement period adjustments. For income tax purposes, the acquisition was treated as an asset purchase and the goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes. The values assigned to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary based on management’s current best estimate and subject to change as certain matters are finalized. The primary areas that remain open are related to tax. The results of the acquisition are reported within the Americas segment from the date of acquisition.

The preliminary amounts assigned to the major identifiable intangible asset classifications for both acquisitions were as follows:


In millions	Weighted-average useful life (in years)	Fair value

Customer relationships	17	$	131.9
Other	8	57.1
Total intangible assets		$	189.0

The preliminary valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology. The fair value of the customer relationship intangible assets were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method based on discounted projected net cash flows associated with the net earnings attributable to the acquired customer relationships. These projected cash flows are estimated over the remaining economic life of the intangible asset and are considered from a market participant perspective. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included projected revenue growth rates and customer attrition rates. The projected future cash flows are discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets was recognized as goodwill.

The Company has not included pro forma financial information for the acquisitions as the impact was not significant.

Pending Acquisitions

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire Nuvolo Technologies Corporation (Nuvolo), a global leader in modern, cloud-based enterprise asset management and connected workplace software and solutions. The acquisition will bring together the companies' complementary capabilities, technology, offerings and customer bases across shared key verticals, including healthcare, life sciences, retail, public infrastructure, education and more. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval, with closing expected in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Note 16. Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to Trane Technologies plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, which in the Company’s case, includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans. The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30:


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
In millions, except per share amounts	2023		2022		2023		2022
Weighted-average number of basic shares	228.6		231.9		228.8		233.4
Shares issuable under incentive share plans	2.0		2.1		2.1		2.3

Weighted-average number of diluted shares	230.6		234.0		230.9		235.7
Anti-dilutive shares	0.2		0.7		0.6		0.9

Dividends declared per ordinary share	$	—	$	—	$	2.25	$	2.01

Note 17. Business Segment Information

The Company operates under four regional operating segments designed to create deep customer focus and relevance in markets around the world. The Company determined that its two Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) operating segments meet the aggregation criteria based on similar operating and economic characteristics, resulting in one reportable segment. Therefore, the Company has three regional reportable segments, Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific. Intercompany sales between segments are immaterial.

•The Company’s Americas segment innovates for customers in North America and Latin America. The Americas segment encompasses commercial heating, cooling and ventilation systems, building controls, and energy services and solutions; residential heating and cooling; and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.

•The Company’s EMEA segment innovates for customers in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. The EMEA segment encompasses heating, cooling and ventilation systems, services and solutions for commercial buildings, and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.

•The Company’s Asia Pacific segment innovates for customers throughout the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific segment encompasses heating, cooling and ventilation systems, services and solutions for commercial buildings, and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.

Management measures segment operating performance based on net earnings excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, non-cash adjustment for contingent consideration, insurance settlement on a property claim in Q3 2022, merger and acquisition-related costs, impairment of equity investment, unallocated corporate expenses and discontinued operations (Segment Adjusted EBITDA). Segment Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes Segment Adjusted EBITDA provides the most relevant measure of profitability as well as earnings power and the ability to generate cash. This measure is a useful financial metric to assess the Company’s operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that it believes are not representative of its core business and the Company uses this measure for business planning purposes. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also provides a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods and the Company’s ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake capital expenditures because it eliminates non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expense.

A summary of operations by reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30 was as follows:


	Three months ended				Nine months ended
In millions	2023		2022		2023		2022

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to the bankruptcy proceedings for Aldrich and Murray and environmental and product liability matters. The Company records accruals for loss contingencies when it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

Asbestos-Related Matters

Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries and former companies of the Company have been named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims were filed against predecessors of Aldrich and Murray and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by predecessors of Aldrich or Murray, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. None of the Company’s existing or previously-owned businesses were a producer or manufacturer of asbestos.

On June 18, 2020, Aldrich and Murray filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to resolve equitably and permanently all current and future asbestos related claims in a manner beneficial to claimants and to Aldrich and Murray. As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, all asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich and Murray have been stayed due to the imposition of a statutory automatic stay applicable in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. In addition, at the request of Aldrich and Murray, the Bankruptcy Court has entered an order temporarily staying all asbestos-related claims against the Trane Companies that relate to claims against Aldrich or Murray (except for asbestos-related claims for which the exclusive remedy is provided

under workers' compensation statutes or similar laws). On August 23, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered its findings of facts and conclusions of law and order declaring that the automatic stay applies to certain asbestos related claims against the Trane Companies and enjoining such actions. As a result, all asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich, Murray and the Trane Companies remain stayed.

The goal of these Chapter 11 filings is to resolve equitably and permanently all current and future asbestos-related claims in a manner beneficial to claimants and to Aldrich and Murray through court approval of a plan of reorganization that would create a trust pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, establish claims resolution procedures for all current and future asbestos-related claims against Aldrich and Murray and channel such claims to the trust for resolution in accordance with those procedures. Aldrich and Murray intend to seek an agreement with representatives of the asbestos claimants on the terms of a plan for the establishment of such a trust.

Prior to the Petition Date, predecessors of each of Aldrich and Murray had been litigating asbestos-related claims brought against them. No such claims have been paid since the Petition Date, and it is not contemplated that any such claims will be paid until the end of the Chapter 11 cases.

From an accounting perspective, the Company no longer has control over Aldrich and Murray as of the Petition Date as their activities are subject to review and oversight by the Bankruptcy Court. Therefore, Aldrich and its wholly-owned subsidiary 200 Park and Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClimateLabs were deconsolidated as of the Petition Date and their respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Amounts derecognized in the second quarter of 2020 primarily related to the legacy asbestos-related liabilities and asbestos-related insurance recoveries and $41.7 million of cash.

Upon deconsolidation in the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded its retained interest in Aldrich and Murray at fair value within Other noncurrent assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. In determining the fair value of its equity investment, the Company used a market-adjusted multiple of earnings valuation technique. As a result, the Company recorded an aggregate equity investment of $53.6 million as of the Petition Date.

Simultaneously, the Company recognized a liability of $248.8 million within Other noncurrent liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet related to its obligation under the Funding Agreements. The liability was based on asbestos related liabilities and insurance related assets balances previously recorded by the Company prior to the Petition Date.

As a result of the deconsolidation, the Company recognized an aggregate loss of $24.9 million in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings during the year ended December 31, 2020. A gain of $0.9 million related to Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClimateLabs was recorded within Other income / (expense), net and a loss of $25.8 million related to Aldrich and its wholly-owned subsidiary 200 Park was recorded within Discontinued operations, net of tax. Additionally, the deconsolidation resulted in an investing cash outflow of $41.7 million in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, of which $10.8 million was recorded within continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2020.

On August 26, 2021, the Company announced that Aldrich and Murray reached an agreement in principle with the court-appointed legal representative of future asbestos claimants (the FCR) in the bankruptcy proceedings. The agreement in principle includes the key terms for the permanent resolution of all current and future asbestos claims against Aldrich and Murray pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the Plan). Under the agreed terms, the Plan would create a trust pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and establish claims resolution procedures for all current and future claims against Aldrich and Murray (Asbestos Claims). On the effective date of the Plan, Aldrich and Murray would fund the trust with $545.0 million, comprised of $540.0 million in cash and a promissory note to be issued by Aldrich and Murray to the trust in the principal amount of $5.0 million, and the Asbestos Claims would be channeled to the trust for resolution in accordance with the claims resolution procedures. Following the effective date of the Plan, Aldrich and Murray would have no further obligations with respect to the Asbestos Claims. The FCR has agreed to support such Plan. The agreement in principle with the FCR is subject to final documentation and is conditioned on arrangements acceptable to Aldrich and Murray with respect to their asbestos insurance assets. It is currently contemplated that the asbestos insurance assets of Aldrich and Murray would be contributed to the trust, and that, in consideration of their cash contribution to the trust, Aldrich and Murray would have the exclusive right to pursue, collect and retain all insurance reimbursements available in connection with the resolution of Asbestos Claims by the trust. The committee representing current asbestos claimants (the ACC) is not a party to the agreement in principle. Any settlement and its implementation in a plan of reorganization is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the agreement on the terms proposed.

On September 24, 2021, Aldrich and Murray filed the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan is supported by, and reflects the agreement in principle reached with the FCR. On the same date, in connection with the Plan, Aldrich and Murray filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to create a $270.0 million trust intended to constitute a "qualified settlement fund" within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 468B of the Internal Revenue Code (QSF). The funds held in the QSF would be available to provide funding for the Section 524(g) Trust upon effectiveness of the Plan.

During the third quarter of 2021, in connection with the agreement in principle reached by Aldrich and Murray with the FCR and the motion to create a $270.0 million QSF, the Company recorded a charge of $21.2 million to increase its Funding Agreement liability to $270.0 million. The corresponding charge was bifurcated between Other income / (expense), net of $7.2 million relating to Murray and discontinued operations of $14.0 million relating to Aldrich.

On January 27, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted the request to fund the QSF, which was funded on March 2, 2022, resulting in an operating cash outflow of $270.0 million in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, of which $91.8 million was allocated to continuing operations and $178.2 million was allocated to discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. On April 18, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting Aldrich and Murray's request to seek to estimate their aggregate liability for all current and future asbestos-related personal injury claims. Aldrich and Murray are pursuing discovery and related matters in connection with the estimation proceedings.

On October 18, 2021, the ACC filed a motion seeking standing to pursue and investigate on behalf of the bankruptcy estates of Aldrich and Murray, claims arising from or related to the 2020 Corporate Restructuring. Also on October 18, 2021, the ACC filed a complaint seeking to substantively consolidate the bankruptcy estates of Aldrich and Murray with certain of the Company's subsidiaries. On December 20, 2021, Aldrich, Murray and certain of the Company's subsidiaries filed motions to dismiss the ACC's substantive consolidation complaint. On April 14, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted the ACC's standing motion and denied the motions to dismiss the substantive consolidation complaint. On June 18, 2022, the ACC filed complaints against the Company and other related parties asserting various claims and causes of action arising from or related to the 2020 Corporate Restructuring. Additionally, the Bankruptcy Court denied motions to dismiss the ACC's substantive consolidation complaint. The Company is vigorously opposing and defending against these claims.

On April 6, 2023, certain individual claimants filed a motion to dismiss the Chapter 11 cases. Subsequently, on May 15, 2023, the ACC filed its own motion to dismiss the Chapter 11 cases. Aldrich, Murray and the FCR filed responses in opposition to each of these motions, and the Company filed papers joining in Aldrich and Murray's opposition. A hearing on the motions to dismiss was held on July 14, 2023. It is not possible to predict how the Bankruptcy Court will rule on the pending motions to dismiss the Chapter 11 cases, whether the Bankruptcy Court will approve the terms of the Plan, what the extent of the asbestos liability will be or how long the Chapter 11 cases will last. The Chapter 11 cases remain pending as of November 1, 2023.

Furthermore, in connection with the 2020 Corporate Restructuring, Aldrich, Murray and their respective subsidiaries entered into several agreements with subsidiaries of the Company to ensure they each have access to services necessary for the effective operation of their respective businesses and access to capital to address any liquidity needs that arise as a result of working capital requirements or timing issues. In addition, the Company regularly transacts business with Aldrich and its wholly-owned subsidiary 200 Park and Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClimateLabs. As of the Petition Date, these entities are considered related parties and post-deconsolidation activity between the Company and them are reported as third party transactions and are reflected within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Since the Petition Date, there were no material transactions between the Company and these entities other than as described above.

Environmental Matters

The Company continues to be dedicated to environmental and sustainability programs to minimize the use of natural resources, and reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials from our manufacturing processes and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities and off-site waste disposal facilities.

It is the Company’s policy to establish environmental reserves for investigation and remediation activities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. Estimated liabilities are determined based upon existing remediation laws and technologies. Inherent uncertainties exist in such evaluations due to unknown environmental conditions, changes in government laws and regulations, and changes in cleanup technologies. The environmental reserves are updated on a routine basis as remediation efforts progress and new information becomes available.

The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state and international authorities. The Company has also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. In most instances at multi-party sites, the Company’s share of the liability is not material.

In estimating its liability at multi-party sites, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based on the Company’s understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis.

Reserves for environmental matters are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected payment date. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $46.8 million and $42.4 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $38.1 million and $36.5 million, respectively, relate to investigation and remediation of properties and multi-waste disposal sites related to businesses formerly owned by the Company.

Warranty Liability

Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.

The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:


In millions	2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	323.6
Reductions for payments	(111.2)
Accruals for warranties issued during the current period	136.4
Changes to accruals related to preexisting warranties	0.6
Translation	(1.4)
Balance at end of period	$	348.0

Standard product warranty liabilities are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected payment date. The Company’s total current standard product warranty reserve at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $131.1 million and $120.4 million, respectively.

Warranty Deferred Revenue

The Company’s extended warranty liability represents the deferred revenue associated with its extended warranty contracts and is amortized into Net revenues on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liability by evaluating the expected costs under its existing contracts to ensure these expected costs do not exceed the extended warranty liability.

The changes in the extended warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:


In millions	2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	317.7
Amortization of deferred revenue for the period	(86.7)
Additions for extended warranties issued during the period	109.1
Changes to accruals related to preexisting warranties	(0.2)
Translation	(0.3)
Balance at end of period	$	339.6

The extended warranty liability is classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on the timing of when the deferred revenue is expected to be amortized into revenue. The Company’s total current extended warranty liability at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $118.6 million and $110.5 million, respectively.

We have announced ambitious sustainability commitments with a goal of achieving these commitments by 2030 (2030 Sustainability Commitments), including our Gigaton Challenge to reduce customers' carbon emissions by a billion metric tons. We are one of a handful of companies whose emissions reductions targets have been validated three times by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and one of the very few companies worldwide whose net-zero targets have also been validated. We are Leading by Example as we make progress toward carbon-neutral operations and zero waste-to-landfill across our global footprint and net positive water use in water-stressed locations. Our Opportunity for All commitment focuses on gender parity in leadership, workforce diversity reflective of our communities, and a citizenship strategy that helps underserved communities through enhanced learning environments and pathways to green and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) careers.

Recent Acquisitions

On May 2, 2023, we completed the acquisition of MTA S.p.A (MTA), a leading industrial process cooling technology business, which brings complementary, high-performing solutions to the comprehensive Commercial HVAC product and services portfolios in the EMEA and Americas segments. The results of the acquisition are reported within the EMEA and Americas segments.

On May 12, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Helmer Scientific Inc (Helmer), a precision temperature cooling company in the life sciences vertical within the Americas segment. The results of the acquisition are reported within the Americas segment.

Pending Acquisitions

During the third quarter of 2023, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Nuvolo Technologies Corporation (Nuvolo), a global leader in modern, cloud-based enterprise asset management and connected workplace software and solutions. The acquisition will bring together the companies' complementary capabilities, technology, offerings and customer bases across shared key verticals, including healthcare, life sciences, retail, public infrastructure, education and more. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval, with closing expected in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Issuance of Senior Notes

In March 2023, we issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% senior notes due 2033. The net proceeds were used to fund the redemption of the $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 4.250% Senior Notes due June 2023.

Significant Events

Reorganization of Aldrich and Murray

On June 18, 2020 (Petition Date), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aldrich Pump LLC (Aldrich) and Murray Boiler LLC (Murray) each filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina in Charlotte (the Bankruptcy Court). As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, all asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich and Murray have been stayed due to the imposition of a statutory automatic stay applicable in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. Only Aldrich and Murray have filed for Chapter 11 relief. Neither Aldrich's wholly-owned subsidiary, 200 Park, Inc. (200 Park), Murray's wholly-owned subsidiary, ClimateLabs LLC (ClimateLabs), Trane Technologies plc nor its other subsidiaries (the Trane Companies) are part of the Chapter 11 filings.

Table of Contents

Aldrich and its wholly-owned subsidiary 200 Park and Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClimateLabs were deconsolidated as of the Petition Date and their respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2021, Aldrich and Murray reached an agreement in principle with the court-appointed legal representative of future asbestos claimants (the FCR) and filed a motion to create a $270.0 million trust intended to constitute a "qualified settlement fund" within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 468B of the Internal Revenue Code (QSF). On January 27, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted the request to fund the QSF, which was funded on March 2, 2022, resulting in an operating cash outflow of $270.0 million in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, of which $91.8 million was allocated to continuing operations and $178.2 million was allocated to discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

On April 6, 2023, certain individual claimants filed a motion to dismiss the Chapter 11 cases. Subsequently, on May 15, 2023, the committee representing current asbestos claimants (the ACC) filed its own motion to dismiss the Chapter 11 cases. Aldrich, Murray and the FCR filed responses in opposition to each of these motions, and the Company filed papers joining in Aldrich and Murray's opposition. A hearing on the motions to dismiss was held on July 14, 2023. It is not possible to predict how the Bankruptcy Court will rule on the pending motions to dismiss the Chapter 11 cases, whether the Bankruptcy Court will approve the terms of a plan of reorganization, what the extent of the asbestos liability will be or how long the Chapter 11 cases will last. The Chapter 11 cases remain pending as of November 1, 2023.

Trends and Economic Events

We are a global corporation with worldwide operations. As a global business, our operations are affected by worldwide, regional and industry-specific economic factors as well as political and social factors wherever we operate or do business. Our geographic diversity and the breadth of our product and services portfolios have helped mitigate the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results.

Given our broad range of products manufactured and geographic markets served, management uses a variety of factors to predict the outlook for the Company. We monitor key competitors and customers in order to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future. We regularly perform detailed evaluations of the different market segments we are serving to proactively detect trends and to adapt our strategies accordingly, including potential actions to be taken under recessionary scenarios. In addition, we believe our backlog and order levels are indicative of future revenue and thus are a key measure of anticipated performance.

Current economic conditions remain mixed across our end markets. Residual effects from the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic have moderated as disruptions in the global supply chain and resource constraints have improved throughout the year.

We expect market conditions to remain mixed across the geographies where we serve customers. Overall Commercial HVAC markets remain strong due to demand for our differentiated customer driven solutions and the benefits of installing energy efficient products and decarbonizing the built environment, partially due to government regulation especially in the United States and Europe. Transport refrigeration and Residential markets remain mixed as these markets are normalizing with lead times returning to historical levels due to improved supply chains. We continue to see material, wage and energy inflation impact our cost structure. Our performance may be impacted by future developments that are uncertain. Geopolitical risk and macroeconomic events such as tightening credit conditions, higher interest rates, global banking uncertainty and the possibility of deteriorating overall economic conditions could negatively impact our business.

We believe we have a solid foundation of global brands that are highly differentiated across our portfolio of products and services. Our geographic mix and the diversity of our portfolio, coupled with our large installed product base, provides growth opportunities within our service revenue streams. As part of our long-term sustainability strategy, we innovate to provide solutions for our customers to address the impacts of these factors. In addition, we are investing substantial resources to innovate and develop new and existing products and services which we expect will drive our future growth.

Pricing	3.7	%
Volume	5.1	%
Acquisitions	2.7	%
Currency translation	0.2	%
Total	11.7	%

The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by higher volumes driven by increased end-customer demand, realization of inflation-based price increases and incremental revenues from acquisitions. Refer to the “Results by Segment” below for a discussion of Net revenues by segment.

Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased 120 basis points to 34.0% compared to 32.8% for the same period of 2022 primarily due to price realization and gross productivity, partially offset by inflation and business reinvestment.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased by 14.5%, or $100.6 million compared with the same period of 2022. The increase in Selling and administrative expenses was primarily driven by higher commissions as a result of higher sales volumes and an increase in human capital related cost from investing in our people. In addition, merger and acquisition related costs as well as a prior year insurance settlement on a property claim for $25.0 million drove higher Selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased 40 basis points from 15.9% to 16.3%.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased by 3.8%, or $2.1 million compared with the same period of 2022 primarily due to the issuance of $700.0 million of 5.250% senior notes due March 2033, partially offset by the redemption of $700.0 million of 4.250% senior notes due June 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 our effective tax rate was 19.8% and 15.7%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was lower than the than the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to adjustments related to filing the U.S. Federal income tax return, excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments and earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which in aggregate have a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by U.S. state and local taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a $33.1 million reduction in valuation allowances on certain net state deferred tax assets partially offset by a related $4.2 million expense associated with a deferred tax revaluation resulting from U.S. legal entity restructurings. These items have decreased the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 by 4.3 percentage points. In addition, adjustments related to filing the U.S. Federal income tax return, earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which in aggregate have a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by U.S. state and local taxes, provided net effective tax benefits.

Selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased by 14.3%, or $272.5 million, compared with the same period of 2022. The increase in Selling and administrative expenses was primarily driven by an increase in human capital related costs as a result of investing in our people. Additionally, higher commissions and customer facing travel costs as a result of higher sales volumes, merger and acquisition related costs and prior year insurance settlement on a property claim for $25.0 million were partially offset by a favorable change in the non-cash adjustment to contingent consideration of $33.9 million.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments and earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which in aggregate have a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by an impairment of an equity investment, which is currently nondeductible, and U.S. state and local taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to a $33.1 million reduction in valuation allowances on certain net state deferred tax assets partially offset by a related $4.2 million expense associated with a deferred tax revaluation resulting from U.S. legal entity restructurings. These items have reduced the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 by 1.7 percentage points. In addition, excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments and earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which in aggregate have a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by U.S. state and local taxes, provided net effective tax rate benefits.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 - Segment Results

We operate under four regional operating segments designed to create deep customer focus and relevance in markets around the world. We determined that our two EMEA operating segments meet the aggregation criteria based on similar operating and economic characteristics, resulting in one reportable segment. Therefore, we have three regional reportable segments, Americas, EMEA and Asia Pacific.

•Our Americas segment innovates for customers in North America and Latin America. The Americas segment encompasses commercial heating, cooling and ventilation systems, building controls, and energy services and solutions; residential heating and cooling; and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.

•Our EMEA segment innovates for customers in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. The EMEA segment encompasses heating, cooling and ventilation systems, services and solutions for commercial buildings, and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.

•Our Asia Pacific segment innovates for customers throughout the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific segment encompasses heating, cooling and ventilation systems, services and solutions for commercial buildings and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.

Management measures operating performance based on net earnings excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, non-cash adjustment for contingent consideration, insurance settlement on a property claim in Q3 2022, merger and acquisition related costs, impairment of equity investment, unallocated corporate expenses and discontinued operations (Segment Adjusted EBITDA). Segment Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. We believe Segment Adjusted EBITDA provides the most relevant measure of profitability as well as earnings power and the ability to generate cash. This measure is a useful financial metric to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business and we use this measure for business planning purposes. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also provides a useful tool for assessing the comparability between periods and our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake capital expenditures because it eliminates non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding, inventory turns, capital expenditure commitments and income tax payments. Our cash requirements primarily consist of the following:

•Funding of working capital

•Debt service requirements

•Funding of capital expenditures

•Dividend payments

•Funding of acquisitions, joint ventures and equity investments

•Share repurchases

Table of Contents

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash balances on hand, cash flow from operations, proceeds from debt offerings, commercial paper, and borrowing availability under our existing credit facilities. We earn a significant amount of our operating income in jurisdictions where it is deemed to be permanently reinvested. Our most prominent jurisdiction of operation is the U.S. We expect existing cash and cash equivalents available to the U.S. operations, the cash generated by our U.S. operations, our committed credit lines as well as our expected ability to access the capital and debt markets will be sufficient to fund our U.S. operating and capital needs for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. In addition, we expect existing non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents and the cash generated by our non-U.S. operations will be sufficient to fund our non-U.S. operating and capital needs for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future. The maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued, on a private placement basis, under the commercial paper program is $2.0 billion, of which we had no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, we had $960.0 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, of which $619.1 million was held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries are generally available for use in our U.S. operations via intercompany loans, equity infusions or via distributions from direct or indirectly owned non-U.S. subsidiaries for which we do not assert permanent reinvestment. In general, repatriation of cash to the U.S. can be completed with no significant incremental U.S. tax. However, to the extent that we repatriate funds from non-U.S. subsidiaries for which we assert permanent reinvestment to fund our U.S. operations, we would be required to accrue and pay applicable non-U.S. taxes. As of September 30, 2023, we currently have no plans to repatriate funds from subsidiaries for which we assert permanent reinvestment.

We expect to pay a competitive and growing dividend. Since the launch of Trane Technologies in March 2020, we have increased our quarterly share dividend by 42%, from $0.53 to $0.75 per ordinary share, or $2.12 to $3.00 per share annualized. The first, second, and third quarter 2023 dividends were declared and paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Share repurchases are made from time to time in accordance with management's capital allocation strategy, subject to market conditions and regulatory requirements. In February 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $3.0 billion of our ordinary shares (2022 Authorization) upon the completion of our $2.0 billion ordinary share repurchase program authorized in 2021 (2021 Authorization). During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased and canceled approximately $460 million of our ordinary shares, completing the 2021 Authorization and initiating repurchases under the 2022 Authorization of approximately $260 million of our ordinary shares leaving $2.7 billion remaining under the 2022 Authorization. Additionally, through October 31, 2023, we repurchased approximately $90 million of our ordinary shares under the 2022 Authorization.

We continue to actively manage and strengthen our business portfolio to meet the current and future needs of our customers. We achieve this partly through engaging in research and development and sustaining activities and partly through acquisitions. Sustaining activities include costs incurred to reduce production costs, improve existing products, create custom solutions for customers and provide support to our manufacturing facilities. Our research and development and sustaining costs account for approximately two percent of annual net revenues. Each year, we make investments in new product development and new technology innovation as they are key factors in achieving our strategic objectives as a leader in the climate sector.

We continue to look for similar improvement opportunities including, but not limited to, increasing energy efficiency, developing products that allow for use of lower global warming potential ("GWP") refrigerants, reducing material content in products, and designing products for circularity. All new product development (NPD) programs must complete a Design for Sustainability module within our NPD process to ensure that every program has a positive impact on sustainability. We also focus on partnering with our suppliers and technology providers to align their investment decisions with our technical requirements.

In pursuing our business strategy, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate targets and enter into agreements regarding possible acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and equity investments. Since 2020, we acquired several businesses, entered into joint ventures and invested in companies that complement existing products and services further enhancing our product portfolio.

We incur costs associated with restructuring initiatives intended to result in improved operating performance, profitability and working capital levels. Actions associated with these initiatives may include workforce reductions, improving manufacturing productivity, realignment of management structures and rationalizing certain assets. Post separation, we have reduced costs by approximately $240 million through December 31, 2022 and are on track to reduce costs by an additional $60 million during 2023 for a total of $300 million in total annual savings under our transformation initiatives. In order to achieve these cost savings, we anticipate to incur costs up to $150 million through 2023. We have incurred approximately $134 million of costs cumulatively through September 30, 2023. We believe that our existing cash flow, committed credit lines and access to the capital markets will be sufficient to fund share repurchases, dividends, research and development, sustaining activities, business portfolio changes and ongoing restructuring actions.

Certain of our subsidiaries entered into Funding Agreements with Aldrich and Murray pursuant to which those subsidiaries are obligated, among other things, to pay the costs and expenses of Aldrich and Murray during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases to the extent distributions from their respective subsidiaries are insufficient to do so and to provide an amount for the funding for a trust established pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent that the other assets of Aldrich and Murray are insufficient to provide the requisite trust funding. During the third quarter of 2021, Aldrich and Murray filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to create a $270 million QSF. The funds held in the QSF would be available to provide funding for the Section 524(g) Trust upon effectiveness of the Plan. On January 27, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted the request to fund the QSF, which was funded on March 2, 2022.

In millions	September 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	960.0		$	1,220.5
Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt	348.3			1,048.0

Total equity	6,700.4			6,105.2
Debt-to-total capital ratio	41.9		%	44.2		%

Debt and Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2023, our short-term obligations primarily consist of $340.8 million of fixed rate debentures that contain a put feature that the holders may exercise on each anniversary of the issuance date. If exercised, we are obligated to repay in whole or in part, at the holder’s option, the outstanding principal amount (plus accrued and unpaid interest) of the debentures held by the holder. We also maintain a commercial paper program which is used for general corporate purposes. Under the program, the maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be issued, on a private placement basis, is $2.0 billion. We had no commercial paper outstanding at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note 6, "Debt and Credit Facilities," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of our short-term obligations.

Our long-term obligations primarily consist of long-term debt with final maturity dates ranging between 2024 and 2049. In addition, we maintain two $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, one of which matures in June 2026 and the other which matures in April 2027. The facilities provide support for our commercial paper program and can be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Total commitments of $2.0 billion were unused at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note 6, "Debt and Credit Facilities," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and further below in Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information for additional information regarding the terms of our long-term obligations and their related guarantees.

Cash Flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30. For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


In millions	2023		2022
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities	$	1,482.6	$	933.4
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing investing activities	(736.1)		(325.2)
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing financing activities	(952.1)		(1,413.0)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $1,482.6 million, of which Net earnings provided $1,895.4 million after adjusting for non-cash transactions. Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $933.4 million, of which Net earnings provided $1,643.4 million after adjusting for non-cash transactions. The year-over-year increase in net cash from continuing operating activities was primarily due to higher net earnings and improved cash conversion cycle. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we funded the continuing operations component of the QSF for $91.8 million.

Table of Contents

Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities represent inflows and outflows regarding the purchase and sale of assets. Primary activities associated with these items include capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, acquisitions, investments in joint ventures and complementary businesses and divestitures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $736.1 million. The primary drivers of the usage were attributable to the acquisition of businesses for $510.2 million, net of cash acquired and capital expenditures of $217.2 million, primarily within the Americas and EMEA segments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $325.2 million. The primary driver of the usage was attributable to capital expenditures of $202.8 million and the acquisition of businesses for $109.6 million, net of cash acquired, primarily within the Americas segment.

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities represent inflows and outflows that account for external activities affecting equity and debt. Primary activities associated with these actions include paying dividends to shareholders, repurchasing our own shares, issuing our own stock and debt transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $952.1 million. The primary drivers of the outflow related to dividends paid to ordinary shareholders of $513.0 million and the repurchase of $459.8 million in ordinary shares. In addition, we received $699.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of 5.250% senior notes due March 2033 which was offset by the redemption of $700.0 million of senior notes due June 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $1,413.0 million. The primary drivers of the outflow related to the repurchase of $900.1 million in ordinary shares and dividends paid to ordinary shareholders of $467.0 million.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and defined as Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures, cash payments for restructuring, transformation costs, merger and acquisition (M&A) related costs, the continuing operations component of the QSF funding, and payout of executive compensation less an insurance settlement on a property claim in Q3 2022. This measure is useful to management and investors because it is consistent with management's assessment of our operating cash flow performance. The most comparable GAAP measure to free cash flow is Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities to free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30 is as follows:


In millions	2023		2022
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities	$	1,482.6	$	933.4
Capital expenditures	(217.2)		(202.8)
Cash payments for restructuring	8.8		20.4
Transformation costs paid	3.5		8.9
M&A transaction costs	10.7		—
QSF funding (continuing operations component)	—		91.8
Compensation related payment to a retired executive	—		64.3
Insurance settlement on a property claim in Q3 2022	—		(25.0)
Free cash flow (1)	$	1,288.4	$	891.0

Pensions

Our investment objective in managing defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit obligations are met as they come due. We seek to achieve this goal while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status, contribution and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. We use a dynamic approach to asset allocation whereby a plan's allocation to fixed income assets increases as the plan's funded status improves. We monitor plan funded status and asset allocation regularly in addition to investment manager performance.

We monitor the impact of market conditions on our defined benefit plans on a regular basis. None of our defined benefit pension plans have experienced a significant impact on their liquidity due to market volatility. The Company currently projects that it will contribute a total of approximately $97 million to our enterprise plans worldwide in 2023. For further details on pension plan activity, see Note 9, "Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

For a further discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, refer to the discussion under that heading herein and in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2022.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to the bankruptcy proceedings for Aldrich and Murray and environmental and product liability matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, management believes that the liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

Table of Contents

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgments in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Management believes there have been no significant changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4 – Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
