NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this report may not add up precisely to totals we provide, and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures. Certain amounts in the prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Separation

On March 30, 2022, Crane announced that its Board of Directors approved a plan to pursue a separation into two independent, publicly-traded companies in a transaction in which Crane NXT would retain its Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment and spin-off its Aerospace & Electronics, Process Flow Technologies and Engineered Materials segments to Crane NXT’s stockholders (the “Separation”).

On April 3, 2023, Crane Holdings, Co., completed the Separation into two independent, publicly-traded companies, Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company through a pro-rata distribution (the "Distribution") of all of the outstanding common stock of Crane Company to the stockholders of Crane Holdings, Co., which on April 3, 2023 was renamed “Crane NXT, Co.” The Distribution was effective at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 3, 2023. As a result of the Distribution, Crane Company became an independent public company and our common stock is listed under the symbol "CR" on the New York Stock Exchange. Due to Crane Company’s larger operations, greater tangible assets, greater fair value and greater net sales, in each case, relative to Crane NXT, Co., among other factors, Crane Company was treated as the “accounting spinnor” and therefore was the “accounting successor” to Crane Holdings, Co. for accounting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Separation. Therefore, following the Separation, the historical consolidated financial statements of Crane Company reflect the historical consolidated financial statements of Crane Holdings, Co. with the Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment and other distributed assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations.

In connection with the Separation on April 3, 2023, Crane Holdings, Co., which was renamed “Crane NXT, Co.,” and Crane Company entered into various agreements to effect the Separation and provide a framework for their relationship after the Separation, including a separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement and an intellectual property matters agreement. These agreements provide for the allocation between Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at, and after the consummation of the Separation and govern certain relationships between Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company after the Separation.

Transactions under the transition services agreement with Crane NXT, Co. did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023, or the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

On April 3, 2023, prior to the consummation of the Separation, the Board of Directors of Crane Company declared and paid a one-time cash dividend in the amount of $275 million to Crane Holdings, Co., its sole stockholder at that time, as part of establishing the capital structure at Crane NXT.

As a result of the Separation, the Payment & Merchandising segment qualified as a discontinued operation and accordingly, the assets, liabilities and result of operations of this segment are reported as discontinued operations. See Note 2 for additional information.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considered the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and determined them to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, Balance Sheets and Cash Flows.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2 - Discontinued Operations

As discussed above, on April 3, 2023, Crane Holdings, Co., completed the previously announced Separation into two independent, publicly-traded companies, Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company. Due to Crane Company’s larger operations, greater tangible assets, greater fair value and greater net sales, in each case, relative to Crane NXT, Co., among other factors, Crane Company is treated as the “accounting spinnor” and therefore is the “accounting successor” to Crane Holdings, Co. for accounting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Separation. Therefore, Crane Company has reflected the historical consolidated financial statements of Crane Holdings, Co. with the Payment & Merchandising Technologies segment and other distributed assets and liabilities classified as discontinued operations.

Note 3 - Segment Results

Our segments are reported on the same basis used internally for evaluating performance and for allocating resources. As of June 30, 2023, we had three reportable segments: Aerospace & Electronics, Process Flow Technologies, and Engineered Materials. Assets of the reportable segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash, deferred tax assets, certain property, plant and equipment, and certain other assets. Corporate consists of corporate office expenses including compensation and benefits for corporate employees, occupancy, depreciation, and other administrative costs.

A brief description of each of our segments are as follows:

Aerospace & Electronics

The Aerospace & Electronics segment supplies critical components and systems, including original equipment and aftermarket parts, primarily for the commercial aerospace, and the military aerospace, defense and space markets. Its brands have decades of proven experience, and in many cases invented the critical technologies in their respective markets. The business designs and delivers proven systems, reliable components, and flexible power solutions that excel in tough and mission-critical environments. Products and services are organized into six integrated solutions: Sensing Components & Systems, Electrical Power Solutions, Fluid Management Solutions, Landing & Control Systems, and Microwave Solutions.

Process Flow Technologies

The Process Flow Technologies segment is a provider of highly engineered fluid handling equipment for mission critical applications that require high reliability. The segment is comprised of Process Valves and Related Products, Commercial Valves, and Pumps and Systems. Process Valves and Related Products include on/off valves and related products for critical and demanding applications in the chemical, oil & gas, power, and general industrial end markets globally. Commercial Valves includes the manufacturing of valves and related products for the non-residential construction, general industrial, and to a lesser extent, municipal markets. Pumps and Systems include pumps and related products primarily for water and wastewater applications in the industrial, municipal, commercial and military markets.

Engineered Materials

The Engineered Materials segment manufactures fiberglass-reinforced plastic ("FRP") panels and coils, primarily for use in the manufacturing of recreational vehicles, truck bodies and trailers (Transportation), with additional applications in commercial and industrial buildings (Building Products).

Remaining Performance Obligations

The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders which have not yet been fulfilled, which we also refer to as total backlog. As of June 30, 2023, total backlog was $1,042.5 million. We expect to recognize approximately 65% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2023, an additional 29% in 2024 and the balance thereafter.

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Contract assets represent unbilled amounts that typically arise from contracts for customized products or contracts for products sold directly to the U.S. government or indirectly to the U.S. government through subcontracts, where revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are assessed for impairment and recorded at their net realizable value. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers. Revenue related to contract liabilities is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. We report contract assets, which are included within “Other current assets” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and contract liabilities, which are included within “Accrued liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, on a contract-by-contract net basis at the end of each reporting period. Net contract assets and contract liabilities consisted of the following:


(in millions)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Contract assets	$	64.4	$	56.8
Contract liabilities	$	49.7	$	49.4

We recognized revenue of $8.2 million and $19.0 million during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, related to contract liabilities as of December 31, 2022.

Note 5 - Earnings Per Share

Our basic earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted share units, deferred stock units and performance-based restricted share units. The effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury method. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

Note 8 - Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rates

Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the periods presented.

Our effective tax rates are as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023	2022	2023	2022
Effective Tax Rate	24.4%	27.6%	22.8%	28.0%

Our effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 is lower than the prior year’s comparable periods primarily due to the prior year effect of a reversal of a deferred tax asset established that related to the sale of a subsidiary in a prior period, partially offset by earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the United States in current period.

Our effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is lower than the prior year’s comparable periods primarily due to prior year effect of a reversal of a deferred tax asset established that related to the sale of a subsidiary in a prior period and a greater benefit related to share-based compensation in current period. This is partially offset by earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the United States and expenses statutorily non-deductible for income tax purposes in current period.

Our effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is higher than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the United States, expenses that are statutorily non-deductible for income tax purposes and U.S. state taxes, partially offset by excess share-based compensation benefits, tax credit utilization, and the statutory U.S. deduction related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

During both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, our gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, increased by $0.4 million, primarily due to increases in tax positions taken in the current and prior periods, partially offset by reductions from expiration of statutes of limitations.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would cause our effective tax rate to increase by $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The difference between these amounts relates to (1) offsetting tax effects from other tax jurisdictions, and (2) interest expense, net of deferred taxes.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $(0.1) million and $0.0 million, respectively, of interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total amount of accrued interest and penalty expense related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $2.0 million.

During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $0.5 million due to expiration of statutes of limitations and settlements with tax authorities. However, if the ultimate resolution of income tax examinations results in amounts that differ from this estimate, we will record additional income tax expense or benefit in the period in which such matters are effectively settled.

As part of the Separation, to a limited extent, the Company has agreed to indemnify Crane NXT, for uncertain tax benefits, which are attributable to the Company’s business.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 9 - Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Our business acquisitions have typically resulted in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets. We follow the provisions under ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” as it relates to the accounting for goodwill in our condensed consolidated financial statements. These provisions require that we, on at least an annual basis, evaluate the fair value of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned and attributed and compare that fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if an impairment has occurred. We perform our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter. Impairment testing takes place more often than annually if events or circumstances indicate a change in status that would indicate a potential impairment. We believe that there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value for our reporting units below its carrying value. A reporting unit is an operating segment unless discrete financial information is prepared and reviewed by segment management for businesses one level below that operating segment (a “component”), in which case the component would be the reporting unit. As of June 30, 2023, we had four reporting units.

Intangibles with indefinite useful lives, consisting of trade names, are tested annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. If the carrying amount of an indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the intangible asset is written down to its fair value. Fair value is calculated using relief from royalty method. We amortize the cost of definite-lived intangibles over their estimated useful lives. We also review all of our definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Changes to goodwill are as follows:


(in millions)	Aerospace & Electronics		Process Flow Technologies		Engineered Materials		Total

Note 11 - Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

For environmental matters, we record a liability for estimated remediation costs when it is probable that we will be responsible for such costs and they can be reasonably estimated. Generally, third party specialists assist in the estimation of remediation costs. The environmental remediation liability as of June 30, 2023 is substantially related to the former manufacturing site in Goodyear, Arizona (the “Goodyear Site”) discussed below. On June 21, 2021, we completed the sale of substantially all of the property associated with what we have historically called the Goodyear Site for $8.7 million, retaining only a small parcel on which our remediation and treatment systems are located. We will continue to be responsible for all remediation costs associated with the Goodyear Site.

On August 12, 2022, Crane Holdings, Co., Crane Company, a then wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane Holdings, Co., and Redco Corporation (f/k/a Crane Co., (“Redco”) a then wholly-owned subsidiary of Crane Company that held liabilities including asbestos liabilities and related insurance assets, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Redco Purchase Agreement”) with Spruce Lake Liability Management Holdco LLC (“Redco Buyer”), an unrelated third party long-term liability management company specializing in the acquisition and management of legacy corporate liabilities, whereby Crane Company transferred to Redco Buyer all of the issued and outstanding shares of Redco (the “Redco Sale”). Pursuant to the terms of the Redco Purchase Agreement, Crane Company and Redco Buyer will each indemnify the other for breaches of representations and warranties, breaches of covenants and obligations and certain liabilities, subject to the terms of the Redco Purchase Agreement. Such covenants and obligations include obligations of Crane Company to indemnify Redco and its affiliates for all other historical liabilities of Redco, which include certain potential environmental liabilities. Crane Holdings, Co. guaranteed the full payment and performance of Crane Company’s indemnification obligations under the Redco Purchase Agreement. On April 3, 2023, Crane Holdings, Co. completed the Separation, pursuant to which, among other things, all outstanding shares of Crane Company were distributed to Crane Holdings, Co.’s stockholders. Upon completion of the Separation, pursuant to the terms of the Redco Purchase Agreement, Crane Holdings, Co was released from its guarantee of Crane Company’s indemnification obligations under the Redco Purchase Agreement. Prior to the effective date of the Redco Sale, the U.S. Department of Justice agreed that Crane Holdings, Co. and, following completion of the Separation, Crane Company will be primarily liable for the Goodyear Site. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection agreed to transfer the liability of the Roseland Site to Crane Holdings, Co., and to further transfer this environmental liability to Crane Company upon effectiveness of the Separation. The potential liability for the Crab Orchard Site referenced below remains a direct obligation of Redco. As noted above, however, Crane Company, has agreed to indemnify Redco and Redco Buyer against the Goodyear, Roseland, and Crab Orchard environmental liabilities. Thus, references below in this Note 11 to “we”, and “us” refer to Crane Company in its capacity as the primarily responsible party for the Goodyear and Roseland Sites, and as indemnitor to the Redco Buyer on the Crab Orchard Site.

Goodyear Site

The Goodyear Site was operated by Unidynamics/Phoenix, Inc. (“UPI”), which became an indirect subsidiary in 1985 when Crane Co. (n/k/a Redco) acquired UPI’s parent company, UniDynamics Corporation. UPI was an indirect subsidiary of Crane Holdings, Co. pre-Separation and became an indirect subsidiary of Crane Company following completion of the Separation. UPI manufactured explosive and pyrotechnic compounds, including components for critical military programs, for the U.S. Government at the Goodyear Site from 1962 to 1993, under contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and other government agencies and certain of their prime contractors. In 1990, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued administrative orders requiring UPI to design and conduct certain remedial actions, which UPI has done. Groundwater extraction and treatment systems have been in operation at the Goodyear Site since 1994. On July 26, 2006, we entered a consent decree with the EPA with respect to the Goodyear Site providing for, among other things, a work plan for further investigation and remediation activities (inclusive of a supplemental remediation investigation and feasibility study). During the third quarter of 2014, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (“ROD”) amendment permitting, among other things, additional source area remediation resulting in us recording a charge of $49.0 million, extending the accrued costs through 2022. Following the 2014 ROD amendment, we continued our remediation activities and explored an alternative strategy to accelerate remediation of the site. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we received conceptual agreement from the EPA on our alternative remediation strategy which is expected to further reduce the contaminant plume. Accordingly, in 2019, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $18.9 million, net of reimbursements, to extend our forecast period through 2027 and reflect our revised workplan. The total estimated gross liability was $22.9 million and $24.8 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively and as described below, a portion is reimbursable by the U.S. Government. The current portion of the total estimated liability was $7.8 million and $7.7 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and represents our best estimate, in consultation with our technical advisors, of total remediation costs expected to be paid during the next twelve-month period. It is not possible at this point to reasonably estimate the amount of any obligation in excess of our current accruals through the 2027 forecast period because of the aforementioned uncertainties, in particular, the continued significant changes in the Goodyear Site conditions and additional expectations of remediation activities experienced in recent years.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On July 31, 2006, we entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice on behalf of the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy pursuant to which, among other things, the U.S. Government reimburses us for 21% of qualifying costs of investigation and remediation activities at the Goodyear Site. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we recorded a receivable of $4.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively, for the expected reimbursements from the U.S. Government in respect of the aggregate liability as at that date. The receivable is reduced as reimbursements and other payments from the U.S. Government are received.

Other Environmental Matters

Roseland, NJ Site

The Roseland Site was operated by Resistoflex Corporation (“Resistoflex”), which became an indirect subsidiary in 1985 when Crane Co. (n/k/a Redco) acquired Resistoflex’s parent company, UniDynamics Corporation. Resistoflex manufactured specialty lined pipe and fittings at the site from the 1950s until it was closed in the mid-1980s. We undertook an extensive soil remediation effort at the Roseland Site following our closure and had been monitoring the Site’s condition in the years that followed. In response to changes in remediation standards, in 2014 we began to conduct further site characterization and delineation studies at the Site. We are in the late stages of our remediation activities at the Site, which include a comprehensive delineation of contaminants of concern in soil, groundwater, surface water, sediment, and indoor air in certain buildings, all in accordance with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection guidelines and directives.

Marion, IL Site

Crane Co. (n/k/a Redco) has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to environmental contamination at the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge Superfund Site (the “Crab Orchard Site”). The Crab Orchard Site is located near Marion, Illinois, and consists of approximately 55,000 acres. Beginning in 1941, the United States used the Crab Orchard Site for the production of ordnance and other related products for use in World War II. In 1947, about half of the Crab Orchard Site was leased to a variety of industrial tenants whose activities (which continue to this day) included manufacturing ordnance and explosives. Unidynamics Corporation formerly leased portions of the Crab Orchard Site and conducted manufacturing operations at the Crab Orchard Site from 1952 until 1964. General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, Inc. (“GD-OTS”) is in the process of conducting a remedial investigation and feasibility study (“RI-FS”) for portions of the Crab Orchard Site (the “AUS-OU”), which include areas where we maintained operations, pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent (the “AOC”). A remedial investigation report was approved in February 2015, and work on the feasibility study is underway. It is unclear when the final feasibility study will be completed, or when a final Record of Decision (“ROD”) may be issued. As noted above, we have agreed to indemnify Redco against the Crab Orchard environmental liabilities, and accordingly we act as Redco’s agent with respect to such liabilities.

GD-OTS asked Crane Co. (n/k/a Redco) to participate in a voluntary, multi-party mediation exercise with respect to response costs that GD-OTS has incurred or will incur with respect to the AUS-OU, and Crane Co. (n/k/a Redco), the U.S. Government, and other PRPs entered into a non-binding mediation agreement in 2015. We have stepped into Redco’s position as a participant in the mediation. The first phase of the mediation, involving certain former munitions or ordnance storage areas, began in November 2017, but did not result in a multi-party settlement agreement. Subsequently, Redco entered discussions directly with GD-OTS and reached an agreement, as of July 13, 2021, to contribute toward GD-OTS’s past RI-FS costs associated with the first-phase areas for an immaterial amount. We, as indemnitor, have also agreed to pay a modest percentage of future RI-FS costs and the United States’ claimed past response costs relative to the first-phase areas, a sum that has proven to be and we expect to continue to be, in the aggregate, an immaterial amount. We understand that GD-OTS has also reached agreements with the U.S. Government and other participating PRPs related to the first-phase areas of concern.

Negotiations between GD-OTS, the U.S. Government and remaining participants are underway with respect to resolution of the U.S. Government’s liability for, and contribution claims with respect to, RI/FS costs associated with the remaining areas of the site, including those portions of the Crab Orchard Site where Redco’s predecessor conducted manufacturing and research activities. The participants have reached agreement in principle on a framework for resolving the U.S. Government’s share of RI/FS costs, subject to consummation of a mutually-agreeable consent decree, but we at present cannot predict whether or when these negotiations will result in a definitive agreement. Further, negotiations are ongoing between us and GD-OTS regarding a potential resolution of GD-OTS’ claim for costs that it has incurred in performing its obligations under the AOC. We at present cannot predict when any determination of the ultimate allocable shares of GD-OTS and U.S. Government response costs for which we may be liable is likely to be completed. None of these discussions address responsibility for the

performance of, or payment of costs incurred in connection with, any remedial design or remedial action that may be required pursuant to the ROD (when it is ultimately issued). It is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the total amount of any obligation for remediation of the Crab Orchard Site as a whole because the allocation among PRPs, selection of remediation alternatives, and concurrence of regulatory authorities have not yet advanced to the stage where a reasonable estimate can be made. Insurers with contractual coverage obligations for this site have been notified of this potential liability and have been providing coverage, subject to reservations of rights.

Asbestos Liability

As a result of the Redco Sale, all asbestos obligations and liabilities, related insurance assets and associated deferred tax assets of Redco were removed from the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets effective August 12, 2022 and the Company no longer has any obligation with respect to pending and future asbestos claims.

Other Proceedings

We regularly review the status of lawsuits, claims and proceedings that have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, environmental and stockholder matters. We record a provision for a liability for such matters when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions, if any, are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. If either or both of the criteria are not met, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for such matters, we disclose the estimate of the amount of loss or range of loss, disclose that the amount is immaterial, or disclose that an estimate of loss cannot be made, as applicable. We believe that as of June 30, 2023, there was no reasonable possibility that a material loss, or any additional material losses, may have been incurred for such matters, and that adequate provision has been made in our financial statements for the potential impact of all such matters.

Total long-term debt	$	262.3	$	—


(a) Debt issuance costs totaled $0.9 million and $0.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and have been netted against the aggregate principal amounts of the related debt in the components of the debt table above.

Credit Facilities – On March 17, 2023, Crane Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which provides for (i) a $500 million, 5-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a $300 million, 3-year term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), funding under each of which became available in connection with the Separation. On April 3, 2023, the Company borrowed the full amount of the Term Facility. The Company made principal prepayments of $36.9 million on the Term Facility during the second quarter of 2023.

The Revolving Facility allows us to borrow, repay and re-borrow funds from time to time prior to the maturity of the Revolving Facility without any penalty or premium, subject to customary borrowing conditions for facilities of this type and the reimbursement of breakage costs. Borrowings under the Term Facility are prepayable without premium or penalty, subject to customary reimbursement of breakage costs. Interest on loans advanced under the Credit Agreement accrues, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (1) adjusted term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for the applicable interest period plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% or (2) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.25%, in each case, with such margin determined based on the lower of the ratings of our senior, unsecured long-term debt (the “Ratings”) and our total net leverage ratio. We are required to pay a fee on undrawn commitments under the Revolving Facility at a rate per annum that ranges from 0.20% to 0.35%, based on the lower of the Ratings and our total net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on our and our subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of all or substantially all assets, transactions with affiliates, hedging arrangements and amendments to our organizational documents or to certain subordinated debt agreements. As of the last day of each fiscal quarter, our total net leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.50 to 1.00 (provided that, at our election, such maximum ratio may be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 for specified periods following our consummation of certain material acquisitions) and our minimum interest coverage ratio must be at least 3.00 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, any representation or warranty made by us or any of our material subsidiaries being false in any material respect, default under certain other material indebtedness, certain insolvency or receivership events affecting us and our material subsidiaries, certain ERISA events, material judgments and a change in control, in each case, subject to cure periods and thresholds where customary. The company was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility.

364-Day Credit Agreement - On August 11, 2022, the Company entered into a senior unsecured 364-day credit facility (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”) under which it borrowed term loans denominated in U.S. dollars (the “Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million. Interest on the Term Loans accrued at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (a) a base rate (determined in a customary manner), plus a margin of 0.25% or 0.50% that was determined based upon the ratings by S&P and Moody’s of the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt (the “Index Debt Rating”) or (b) an adjusted Term SOFR (determined in a customary manner) for an interest period to be selected by the Company, plus a margin of 1.25% or 1.50% that was determined based upon the Index Debt Rating. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company repaid the remaining principal of $400 million under the 364-Day Credit Agreement.

Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards define fair value as 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. Fair value measurements are to be considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include over-the-counter derivatives, principally forward foreign exchange contracts, whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on published foreign exchange rates and exchange traded prices, adjusted for other specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Valuation Technique

The carrying value of our financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value, without being discounted, due to the short periods during which these amounts are outstanding.

We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations, including market risks related to fluctuation in currency exchange. We use foreign exchange contracts to manage the risk of certain cross-currency business relationships to minimize the impact of currency exchange fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments had a notional value of $4.8 million and $4.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange contract derivatives that are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates and interest rates. Based on these inputs, the derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Such derivative receivable amounts are recorded within “Other current assets” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $0.1 million and $0.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Such derivative liability amounts are recorded within “Accrued liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and there were no derivative liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Note 14 - Restructuring

Overview

2022 Repositioning - In the fourth quarter of 2022, in response to economic uncertainty, we initiated modest workforce reductions of approximately 160 employees, or about 2% of our global workforce. We expect to complete the program in the first quarter of 2024.

2019 Repositioning - In the fourth quarter of 2019, we initiated actions to consolidate two manufacturing operations in Europe within our Process Flow Technologies segment. In 2020, we recorded additional severance costs related to the final negotiation with the works council/union at both locations. These actions, taken together, included workforce reductions of approximately 180 employees, or about 2% of our global workforce. We expect to complete the program in the fourth quarter of 2023.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains information about Crane Company some of which includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements about our current condition. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of terms such as “believes,” “contemplates,” “expects,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” or “anticipates,” other similar phrases, or the negatives of these terms.

Reference herein to “Crane,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Crane Company and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically states or implies otherwise. References to “core business” or “core sales” in this report include sales from acquired businesses starting from and after the first anniversary of the acquisition but exclude currency effects. Amounts in the following discussion are presented in millions, except employee, share and per share data, or unless otherwise stated.

We have based the forward-looking statements relating to our operations on our current expectations, estimates and projections about us and the markets we serve. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. There are a number of other factors, including risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Such factors also include, among others: changes in global economic conditions (including inflationary pressures and higher interest rates) and geopolitical risks, including macroeconomic fluctuations that may harm our business, results of operations and stock price; information systems and technology networks failures and breaches in data security, personally identifiable and other information, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such information; our ability to source components and raw materials from suppliers, including disruptions and delays in our supply chain; demand for our products, which is variable and subject to factors beyond our control; governmental regulations and failure to comply with those regulations; fluctuations in the prices of our components and raw materials; loss of personnel or being able to hire and retain additional personnel needed to sustain and grow our business as planned; risks from environmental liabilities, costs, litigation and violations that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reputation; risks associated with conducting a substantial portion of our business outside the United States; being unable to identify or complete acquisitions, or to successfully integrate the businesses we acquire, or complete dispositions; adverse impacts from intangible asset impairment charges; potential product liability or warranty claims; being unable to successfully develop and introduce new products, which would limit our ability to grow and maintain our competitive position and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow; significant competition in our markets; additional tax expenses or exposures that could affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; inadequate or ineffective internal controls; specific risks relating to our reportable segments, including Aerospace & Electronics, Process Flow Technologies, and Engineered Materials; the ability and willingness of Crane Company to meet and/or perform their obligations under any contractual arrangements entered into among the parties in connection with the Separation and any of their obligations to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities; our ability to achieve some or all the benefits that we expect to achieve from the Separation; and other risks noted in reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and subsequent reports and other documents filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including any registration statement relating to our business separation. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.

Net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders	$	43.3		$	206.6		$	(163.3)	(79.0)	%

Sales decreased by $20.7 million, or 3.9%, to $509.6 million in 2023. The year-over-year change in sales included:

•an increase in core sales of $24.9 million, or 4.7%, which was driven primarily by higher pricing;

•unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.5 million, or 0.3%; and

•a decrease in sales related to the May 2022 divestiture of Crane Supply of $44.0 million, or 8.3%.

Cost of sales decreased by $44.3 million, or 12.6%, to $308.5 million in 2023. The decrease is primarily related to the impact of the sale of Crane Supply of $32.3 million, or 9.1%, strong productivity gains of $9.7 million, or 2.8%, the impact of lower volumes of $9.5 million, or 2.7%, partially offset by an increase in material, labor and other manufacturing costs of $5.3 million, or 1.5% and unfavorable mix of $3.7 million, or 1.1%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $4.2 million, or 3.1%, to $138.0 million in 2023 reflecting a $13.9 million, or 10.4%, increase in administrative expenses primarily related to the Separation, partially offset by the impact of the sale of Crane Supply of $6.2 million, or 4.6%, and productivity gains and restructuring savings of $2.8 million, or 2.1%.

Operating profit increased by $19.4 million, or 44.4%, to $63.1 million in 2023. The increase primarily reflected higher pricing net of inflation, and productivity, of $29.7 million, or 68.0%, partially offset by the impact of the sale of Crane Supply of $5.5 million, or 12.6% and unfavorable mix of $3.7 million, or 8.5%.

Other (expense) income decreased $247.3 million to $(5.8) million, reflecting the gain on the sale of the Crane Supply business of $228.7 million in 2022, not repeating in 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 is higher than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the United States, expenses that are statutorily non-deductible for income tax purposes and U.S. state taxes, partially offset by excess share-based compensation benefits, tax credit utilization, and the statutory U.S. deduction related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, comprehensive income before allocation to noncontrolling interests was $48.9 million compared to $185.8 million in the same period of 2022. The $136.9 million decrease was primarily driven by the $76.6 million year-over-year favorable impact of foreign currency translation, due to the impact of the British pound and euro against the U.S. dollar, offset by lower net income before allocation to noncontrolling interests of $212.6 million.

•Sales of Commercial Original Equipment increased $9.2 million, or 15.2%, to $69.8 million in 2023, reflecting strong demand from aircraft manufacturers as the industry aircraft build rates continue to recover from the COVID-19 related slowdown, partially offset by material availability constraints.

•Sales of Military Original Equipment increased $5.7 million, or 10.0%, to $62.8 million in 2023, primarily reflecting strong demand from defense and space customers.

•Sales of Commercial Aftermarket Products increased $11.8 million, or 40.7%, to $40.8 million in 2023, reflecting continued strong demand from the airlines due to improving air traffic and inventory restocking.

•Sales of Military Aftermarket Products increased $1.0 million, or 6.8%, to $15.8 million in 2023, reflecting stronger demand from military customers.

Cost of sales increased by $15.4 million, or 15.2%, to $116.6 million in 2023, primarily reflecting higher material and other manufacturing costs of $10.0 million, or 9.9%, increased volumes of $6.9 million, or 6.9%, unfavorable mix of $1.6 million, or 1.6%, partially offset by productivity gains of $3.2 million, or 3.1%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million, or 6.9%, to $34.3 million, primarily related to higher engineering and administrative costs of $3.3 million, or 10.2%, partially offset by productivity and restructurings savings of $1.9 million, or 5.8%.

Operating profit increased by $10.1 million, or 35.8%, to $38.3 million in 2023. The increase primarily reflected higher volumes and productivity of $9.9 million, or 35.2%.

Sales decreased by $32.8 million, or 11.1%, to $263.2 million in 2023, driven by a $44.0 million, or 14.9%, impact from the sale of Crane Supply and $1.6 million, or 0.5%, of unfavorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by core sales growth of $12.7 million, or 4.3%.

•Sales of Process Valves and Related Products increased by $10.7 million, or 5.7%, to $197.4 million in 2023, reflecting an increase in core sales, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation as the Chinese Yuan and the Canadian Dollar weakened against the U.S. dollar. Sales growth was driven primarily by strength in Industrial end markets and higher pricing.

•Sales of Commercial Valves decreased by $48.4 million, or 62.7%, to $28.8 million in 2023, primarily driven by the impact of the divestiture of Crane Supply of $44.0 million, or 57.0%, and, to a lesser extent, modest weakening in the U.K. non-residential construction markets.

•Sales of Pumps & Systems increased by $4.9 million, or 15.3%, to $37.0 million in 2023, reflecting an increase in core sales primarily driven by higher prices and volumes across all key end markets.

Cost of sales decreased by $41.8 million, or 21.9%, to $149.4 million, primarily related to the impact of the sale of Crane Supply of $32.3 million, or 16.9%, productivity gains of $5.8 million, or 3.0%, impact of lower volumes of $5.0 million, or 2.6%, partially offset by unfavorable mix of $3.3 million, or 1.7%.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 1.6%, to $63.2 million, primarily related to the sale of Crane Supply of $6.2 million, or 9.7%, partially offset by higher administrative costs of $5.3 million, or 8.3%.

Operating profit increased by $10.0 million, or 24.6%, to $50.6 million in 2023. The increase is primarily due to higher pricing net of inflation and productivity of $22.2 million, or 54.7%, partially offset by the impact of lower volumes and unfavorable mix of $6.5 million, or 16.0%, and the impact from the sale of Crane Supply of $5.5 million, or 13.5%.

Sales decreased by $45.7 million, or 4.3%, to $1,023.4 million in 2023. The year-over-year change in sales included:

•an increase in core sales of $70.4 million, or 6.6%;

•unfavorable foreign currency translation of $10.2 million, or 1.0%; and

•a decrease in sales related to the May 2022 divestiture of Crane Supply of $105.8 million, or 9.9%.

Cost of sales decreased by $84.5 million, or 12.1%, to $615.4 million in 2023. The decrease is primarily related to the sale of Crane Supply of $78.3 million, or 11.2%, strong productivity of $18.4 million, or 2.6%, lower volumes of $10.0 million, or 1.4%, favorable foreign currency translation of $5.6 million, or 0.8%, partially offset by an increase in material, labor and other manufacturing costs of $16.9 million, or 2.4%, and unfavorable mix of $13.4 million, or 1.9%.

Selling general and administrative expenses increased by $4.7 million, or 1.8%, to $267.4 million in 2023, reflecting a $23.0 million, or 8.8%, increase in administrative expenses primarily related to the Separation, partially offset by the impact of the sale of Crane Supply of $12.2 million, or 4.7% and restructuring savings and productivity gains of $5.1 million, or 2.0%.

Operating profit increased by $34.1 million, or 32.0%, to $140.6 million in 2023. The increase in operating profit is primarily related to higher pricing net of inflation $36.7 million, or 34.4%, productivity and restructuring savings of $24.5 million or 23.0% and impact of volumes of $3.6 million, or 3.3%, partially offset by the impact of the sale of Crane Supply of $15.2 million, or 14.3%, unfavorable mix of $13.4 million, or 12.6%, unfavorable foreign currency translation of $4.4 million, or 4.1%.

Other income (expense) decreased $256.3 million to $(12.0) million reflecting the gain on the sale of the Crane Supply business of $228.7 million in 2022, not repeating in 2023.

Our effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023, is lower than the prior year’s comparable periods primarily due to prior year effect of a reversal of a deferred tax asset established that related to the sale of a subsidiary in a prior period and a greater benefit related to share-based compensation in current period. This is partially offset by earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the United States and expenses statutorily non-deductible for income tax purposes in current period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our effective tax rate attributable to continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is higher than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the United States, expenses that are statutorily non-deductible for income tax purposes and U.S. state taxes, partially offset by excess share-based compensation benefits, tax credit utilization, and the statutory U.S. deduction related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.

Our operating philosophy is to deploy cash provided from operating activities, when appropriate, to provide value to shareholders by reinvesting in existing businesses, by making acquisitions that will strengthen and complement our portfolio, by divesting businesses that are no longer strategic or aligned with our portfolio and where such divestitures can generate capacity for strategic investments and initiatives that further optimize our portfolio, and by paying dividends and/or repurchasing shares. At any given time, and from time to time, we may be evaluating one or more of these opportunities, although we cannot assure you if or when we will consummate any such transactions.

Our current cash balance, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations along with our borrowings available under our revolving credit facility is expected to be sufficient to finance our short- and long-term capital requirements, as well as to fund expected pension contributions.

In March 2023, we entered into a new senior secured credit agreement, which provides for a $500 million, 5-year revolving credit facility and a $300 million, 3-year term loan facility. Funding under each facility became available in connection with the Separation.

Operating Activities

Cash used for operating activities from continuing operations was $53.0 million in the first six months of 2023, as compared to $30.7 million during the same period last year. The increase in cash used for operating activities from continuing operations was primarily driven by increased working capital investments of $87.1 million, partially offset by the $42.4 million increase in net income adjusted for the exclusion of non-cash items and a $23.4 million decrease in asbestos related payments.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $30.7 million in the first six months of 2022. The cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was primarily driven by increased working capital investments supporting higher levels of demand across most businesses, together with higher tax payments in the first half of 2022. Net asbestos-related payments for the first six months of 2022 were $23.4 million.

Investing Activities

Cash flows relating to investing activities from continuing operations consist primarily of cash used for capital expenditures and cash provided by divestitures of businesses or assets. Cash used for investing activities from continuing operations was $20.8 million in the first six months of 2023, as compared to cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations of $296.8 million in the comparable period of 2022. The increase in cash used for investing activities is primarily related to the absence of the $314.3 million provided by the sale of Crane Supply in the prior year. Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing capacity, replacing equipment, supporting new product development, and improving information systems.

Cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations was $296.8 million in the first six months of 2022. The cash provided from investing activities from continuing operations was primarily related to proceeds from the sale of Crane Supply of $314.3 million.

Financing Activities

Financing cash flows consist primarily of dividend payments to shareholders, share repurchases and repayments of indebtedness, proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, commercial paper, proceeds from the issuance of common stock. During the first six months of 2023, financing cash flows also includes activities associated with the distribution of Crane NXT Co. in support of the Separation.

Cash used for financing activities was $395.6 million during the first six months of 2023 compared to $135.6 million in the comparable period of 2022. Cash used for financing activities was driven by:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

•$578.1 million of distribution cash outflows, which was comprised of the $275 million dividend to Crane NXT, Co. and $303 million in cash balances at the Crane NXT businesses at time of Separation;

•$400.0 million repayment of the 364-Day Credit Agreement; and

•$36.9 million in prepayments on the 3-year term loan facility.

The above uses were primarily funded by $650 million in proceeds from the term loan facilities, comprised of a $350 million term loan issued by Crane NXT, Co. (discontinued operations) and the $300 million term loan issued by Crane Company.

Cash used for financing activities was $135.6 million during the first six months of 2022. The cash used for financing activities was driven by the repayment of the term loan of $348.1 million in 2021 which did not repeat in 2022. In 2022, we also had $203.7 million of share repurchases, partially offset by a $119.4 million increase in net borrowings from the issuance of commercial paper.
