PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted)

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company", "Parker", "we" or "us" refer to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries.

1. Management representation

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of December 31, 2023, the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and cash flows for the six months then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued. No subsequent events have occurred that required adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.

2. New accounting pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which enhances the disclosure requirements for income taxes primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company's disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company's disclosures.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, "Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. To achieve that objective, the buyer should disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs, including the outstanding amount under the program, the balance sheet presentation of the outstanding amount, and a rollforward of the obligations in the program. This ASU should be adopted retrospectively for each balance sheet period presented; however, the rollforward information should be provided prospectively. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on July 1, 2023, except for the rollforward requirement, which becomes effective July 1, 2024. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue recognition

Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of products in a variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. A majority of the Company’s revenues are recognized at a point in time. However, a portion of the Company’s revenues are recognized over time.

Diversified Industrial Segment revenues by technology platform:

Total	$	1,306,474	$	1,136,427	$	2,535,434	$	1,882,429

Total Company revenues by geographic region based on the Company's selling operation's location:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
North America	$	3,234,158	$	3,079,738	$	6,527,249	$	5,914,658
Europe	947,584		942,070		1,889,299		1,696,002
Asia Pacific	583,920		599,135		1,138,325		1,187,533
Latin America	55,285		53,868		113,562		109,393
Total	$	4,820,947	$	4,674,811	$	9,668,435	$	8,907,586

The majority of revenues from the Aerospace Systems Segment are generated from sales to customers within North America.

Contract balances

Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis. Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. Payments from customers are received based on the terms established in the contract with the customer.

- 7 -

Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:


	December 31, 2023		June 30, 2023
Contract assets, current (included within Prepaid expenses and other)	$	120,750	$	123,705
Contract assets, noncurrent (included within Investments and other assets)	23,750		23,708
Total contract assets	144,500		147,413
Contract liabilities, current (included within Other accrued liabilities)	(226,388)		(244,799)
Contract liabilities, noncurrent (included within Other liabilities)	(78,549)		(78,239)
Total contract liabilities	(304,937)		(323,038)
Net contract liabilities	$	(160,437)	$	(175,625)

Net contract liabilities at December 31, 2023 decreased from the June 30, 2023 amount primarily due to timing differences between when revenue was recognized and the receipt of advance payments. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, approximately $113 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the contract liabilities at June 30, 2023.

Remaining performance obligations

Our backlog represents written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release has been agreed to with the customer. We believe our backlog represents our unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. Backlog at December 31, 2023 was $10.8 billion, of which approximately 74 percent is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.

4. Acquisitions and divestitures

Acquisitions

On September 12, 2022, we completed the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all the outstanding ordinary shares of Meggitt plc ("Meggitt") for 800 pence per share, resulting in an aggregate cash purchase price of $7.2 billion, including the assumption of debt.

Meggitt is a leader in design, manufacturing and aftermarket support of technologically differentiated systems and equipment in aerospace, defense and selected energy markets with annual sales of approximately $2.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. For segment reporting purposes, approximately 82 percent of Meggitt's sales are included in the Aerospace Systems Segment, while the remaining 18 percent are included in the Diversified Industrial Segment.

- 8 -

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their respective fair values as of the Acquisition date. The process of estimating the fair values of certain tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. During the measurement period which ended in September 2023, adjustments did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The following table presents the final estimated fair values of Meggitt's assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Acquisition date.


	June 30, 2023 (previously reported)		Measurement Period Adjustments		September 12, 2022 (Final)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	89,704	$	—	$	89,704
Accounts receivable	409,642		1,181		410,823
Inventories	739,304		13,580		752,884
Prepaid expenses and other	102,032		20,673		122,705
Property, plant and equipment	658,997		(1,428)		657,569
Deferred income taxes	34,198		(18,730)		15,468
Other assets	180,991		(647)		180,344
Intangible assets	5,679,200		(28,000)		5,651,200
Goodwill	2,789,080		10,891		2,799,971
Total assets acquired	$	10,683,148	$	(2,480)	$	10,680,668
Liabilities:
Notes payable and long-term debt payable within one year	$	308,176	$	—	$	308,176
Accounts payable, trade	219,842		(705)		219,137
Accrued payrolls and other compensation	87,074		(1)		87,073
Accrued domestic and foreign taxes	21,068		(818)		20,250
Other accrued liabilities	322,040		158,137		480,177
Long-term debt	711,703		—		711,703
Pensions and other postretirement benefits	99,553		(2,028)		97,525
Deferred income taxes	1,259,417		(19,700)		1,239,717
Other liabilities	418,461		(137,365)		281,096

Total liabilities assumed	3,447,334		(2,480)		3,444,854
Net assets acquired	$	7,235,814	$	—	$	7,235,814

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired and represents cost synergies and enhancements to our existing technologies. For tax purposes, Meggitt's goodwill is not deductible. Based upon a final acquisition valuation, we acquired $4.2 billion of customer-related intangible assets, $1.1 billion of technology and $303 million of trade names, each with weighted average estimated useful lives of 21, 22, and 18 years, respectively. These intangible assets were valued using the income approach, which includes significant assumptions around future revenue growth, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, royalty rates and discount rates. Such assumptions are classified as level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma information for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 as if the Acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2021.



(Unaudited)	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2022
Net sales	$	4,674,811	$	9,288,916
Net income attributable to common shareholders	487,530		677,568

The historical consolidated financial information of Parker and Meggitt has been adjusted in the pro forma information in the table above to give effect to events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition and factually supportable. To reflect the occurrence of the Acquisition on July 1, 2021, the unaudited pro forma information includes adjustments for the amortization of the step-up of inventory to fair value and incremental depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the fair value

- 9 -

adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. These adjustments were based upon a preliminary purchase price allocation. Additionally, adjustments to financing costs and income tax expense were also made to reflect the capital structure and anticipated effective tax rate of the combined entity. Additionally, the pro forma information includes adjustments for nonrecurring transactions directly related to the Acquisition, including the gain on the divestiture of the aircraft wheel and brake business, loss on deal-contingent forward contracts, and transaction costs. These non-recurring adjustments totaled $2 million and $197 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The resulting pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period presented or that may occur in the future, and do not reflect future synergies, integration costs or other such costs or savings.

Divestitures

During December 2023, we divested our Filter Resources business, which was part of the Diversified Industrial Segment, for proceeds of $37 million. The resulting pre-tax gain of $12 million is included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The operating results and net assets of the Filter Resources business were immaterial to the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

During September 2023, we divested the MicroStrain sensing systems business, which was part of the Diversified Industrial Segment, for proceeds of $37 million. The resulting pre-tax gain of $13 million is included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The operating results and net assets of the MicroStrain sensing systems business were immaterial to the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

During September 2022, we divested our aircraft wheel and brake business, which was part of the Aerospace Systems Segment, for proceeds of $441 million. The resulting pre-tax gain of $373 million is included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The operating results and net assets of the aircraft wheel and brake business were immaterial to the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

5. Earnings per share

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Numerator:
Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	681,851	$	395,237	$	1,332,678	$	783,091
Denominator:
Basic - weighted average common shares	128,426,247		128,313,322		128,449,398		128,369,162
Increase in weighted average common shares from dilutive effect of equity-based awards	1,941,104		1,731,691		1,864,928		1,592,534
Diluted - weighted average common shares, assuming exercise of equity-based awards	130,367,351		130,045,013		130,314,326		129,961,696

Diluted earnings per share	$	5.23	$	3.04	$	10.23	$	6.03

For the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 458,864 and 1,075,737 common shares subject to equity-based awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

For the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 344,226 and 983,648 common shares subject to equity-based awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

6. Share repurchase program

The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. On October 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the overall number of shares authorized for repurchase under the program so that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was 35 million. There is no limitation on the number of shares that can be repurchased in a fiscal year. There is no expiration date for this program. Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury shares. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 121,143 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $412.74 per share. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 245,639 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $407.10 per share.

7. Trade accounts receivable, net

Trade accounts receivable are initially recorded at their net collectible amount and are generally recorded at the time the revenue from the sales transaction is recorded. We evaluate the collectibility of our receivables based on historical experience and current and forecasted economic conditions based on management's judgment. Additionally, receivables are written off to bad debt when management makes a final determination of uncollectibility. Allowance for credit losses was $26 million and $32 million at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

8. Non-trade and notes receivable

The non-trade and notes receivable caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is comprised of the following components:


	December 31, 2023		June 30, 2023
Notes receivable	$	110,291	$	102,288


Accounts receivable, other	211,389		206,879

Raw materials	670,510		625,086
Total	$	3,092,923	$	2,907,879

10. Supply chain financing

We have supply chain financing ("SCF") programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain suppliers the option to be paid by the financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. We are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial intermediaries and the suppliers in connection with the programs. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the programs. We do not reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur for participation in the programs and their participation is voluntary.

Amounts due to our suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF programs are included in accounts payable, trade on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and payments made under the programs are included within operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Accounts payable, trade included approximately $99 million and $85 million payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in the SCF programs as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The amounts settled through the SCF programs and paid to the participating financial intermediaries totaled $140 million and $109 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.

11. Business realignment and acquisition integration charges

We incurred business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the first six months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, which included severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures. In fiscal 2024 and 2023, a majority of the business realignment charges were incurred in Europe. We believe the realignment actions will positively impact future results of operations, but will not have a material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital.

Business realignment charges by business segment are as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Diversified Industrial	$	13,285	$	4,377	$	25,924	$	6,389
Aerospace Systems	(123)		1,001		330		2,850

Other (income) expense, net	1,192		—		1,192		—

Reductions to our workforce made in connection with such business realignment charges by business segment are as follows:


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	December 31,		December 31,
	2023	2022	2023	2022
Diversified Industrial	190	166	515	217
Aerospace Systems	—	4	2	16

The business realignment charges are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Cost of sales	$	8,467	$	3,214	$	15,451	$	5,713
Selling, general and administrative expenses	4,695		2,164		10,803		3,526
Other income, net	1,192		—		1,192		—

During the first six months of fiscal 2024, approximately $18 million in payments were made relating to business realignment charges. Remaining payments related to business realignment actions of approximately $22 million, a majority of which are expected to be paid by June 30, 2024, are primarily reflected within the other accrued liabilities caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additional charges may be recognized in future periods related to the business realignment actions described above, the timing and amount of which are not known at this time.

We also incurred the following acquisition integration charges:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Diversified Industrial	$	871	$	1,695	$	2,010	$	1,881
Aerospace Systems	9,143		31,723		14,410		43,528

Charges incurred in fiscal 2024 and 2023 relate to the Acquisition. In both fiscal 2024 and 2023, these charges were primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") within the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Acquisition represents goodwill resulting from the purchase price allocation for the Acquisition during the measurement period. Divestitures represents goodwill associated with the sale of the businesses. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion.

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful lives. The following summarizes the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major category of intangible assets:


	December 31, 2023				June 30, 2023
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Patents and technology	$	2,125,244	$	403,218	$	2,128,847	$	352,040

Total	$	11,289,590	$	3,136,122	$	11,285,588	$	2,834,974

Total intangible asset amortization expense for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $298 million and $229 million, respectively. The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2024 through 2028 is $580 million, $543 million, $538 million, $533 million and $524 million, respectively.

Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition may be less than their net carrying value. No material intangible asset impairments occurred during the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

14. Retirement benefits

Net pension (benefit) expense recognized included the following components:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,

During the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, in expense related to other postretirement benefits. Components of retirement benefits expense, other than service cost, are included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

- 15 -

15. Debt

Our debt portfolio includes a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). Interest rates reset every one, three or six months at the discretion of the Company. At December 31, 2023, the Term Loan Facility had an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 122.5 bps. Additionally, the provisions of the Term Loan Facility allow for prepayments at the Company's discretion. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, we made principal payments totaling $200 million related to the Term Loan Facility. Refer to the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

Commercial paper notes outstanding at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 were $1.2 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively.

Based on the Company’s rating level at December 31, 2023, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.0. At December 31, 2023, our debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 0.51 to 1.0. We are in compliance, and expect to remain in compliance, with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement and indentures.

16. Income taxes

We file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We are open to assessment on our U.S. federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years after 2013, and our state and local returns for fiscal years after 2016. We are also open to assessment for significant foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years after 2011. Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the amounts reflected in the financial statements.

As of December 31, 2023, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $101 million, all of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The accrued interest and accrued penalties related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amount above, is $24 million and $2 million, respectively. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to approximately $40 million as a result of the revaluation of existing uncertain tax positions arising from developments in the examination process or the closure of tax statutes. Any increase in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is expected to be insignificant.

17. Financial instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments, accounts receivable and long-term investments, as well as obligations under accounts payable, trade, notes payable and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, trade and notes payable approximate fair value.

The carrying value of long-term debt, which excludes the impact of net unamortized debt issuance costs, and estimated fair value of long-term debt are as follows:


	December 31, 2023		June 30, 2023
Carrying value of long-term debt	$	10,651,354	$	10,845,359
Estimated fair value of long-term debt	10,312,875		10,221,563

The fair value of long-term debt is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

We utilize derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges, to manage foreign currency transaction and translation risk. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions, and we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company’s €700 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 have been designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The translation of the Senior Notes due 2025 into U.S. dollars is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value.

The location and fair value of derivative financial instruments reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:


	Balance Sheet Caption	December 31, 2023		June 30, 2023
Net investment hedges

Cross-currency swap contracts	Investments and other assets	$	2,050	$	21,578
Cross-currency swap contracts	Other liabilities	691		—
Other derivative contracts
Forward exchange contracts	Non-trade and notes receivable	225		—

Forward exchange contracts	Other accrued liabilities	2,096		—

The cross-currency swap and forward exchange contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have not entered into any master netting arrangements.

The €69 million, €290 million and ¥2.1 billion of cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as hedging instruments. The forward exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments and are considered to be economic hedges of forecasted transactions.

The forward exchange, costless collar contracts, and deal-contingent forward contracts, as well as cross-currency swap contracts acquired as part of the Acquisition, are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Derivatives designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. We assess the effectiveness of the €69 million, €290 million and ¥2.1 billion of cross-currency swap contracts designated as hedging instruments using the spot method. Under this method, the periodic interest settlements are recognized directly in earnings through interest expense.

Gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

Cross-currency swap contracts	—		(20,422)		—		(15,763)

Gains (losses) on derivative and non-derivative financial instruments that were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Foreign currency denominated debt	(24,580)		(47,628)		(6,701)		(11,489)

During the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the periodic interest settlements related to the cross-currency swap contracts were not material.

Derivatives consist of forward exchange and cross-currency swap contracts, the fair values of which are calculated using market observable inputs including both spot and forward prices for the same underlying currencies. The calculation of the fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts also utilizes a present value cash flow model.

The primary investment objective for all investments is the preservation of principal and liquidity while earning income.

There are no other financial assets or financial liabilities that are marked to market on a recurring basis.

FORM 10-Q

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023

AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022

Our shared values shape our culture and our interactions with stakeholders and the communities in which we operate and live.

We believe many opportunities for profitable growth are available. The Company intends to focus primarily on business opportunities in the areas of energy, water, food, environment, defense, life sciences, infrastructure and transportation. We believe we can meet our strategic objectives by:

•serving the customer and continuously enhancing its experience with the Company;

•successfully executing The Win Strategy initiatives relating to engaged people, premier customer experience, profitable growth and financial performance;

•maintaining a decentralized division and sales company structure;

•fostering a safety-first and entrepreneurial culture;

•engineering innovative systems and products to provide superior customer value through improved service, efficiency and productivity;

•delivering products, systems and services that have demonstrable savings to customers and are priced by the value they deliver;

•enabling a sustainable future by providing innovative technology solutions that make our world safer, smarter and cleaner and operating responsibly by minimizing our environmental impact and conserving natural resources;

•acquiring strategic businesses;

•organizing around targeted regions, technologies and markets;

•driving efficiency by implementing lean enterprise principles; and

•creating a culture of empowerment through our values, inclusion and diversity, accountability and teamwork.

Our order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company’s outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future order rates. The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day to 18 months for aerospace orders.

The ongoing disruption within the global supply chain and labor markets has impacted our business. We continue to manage the challenging supply chain environment through our "local for local" manufacturing strategy, ongoing supplier management process, and broadened supply base. While the inflationary cost environment showed signs of moderating, we continue to manage its impact through a variety of cost and pricing measures, including continuous improvement and lean initiatives. Additionally, we strategically manage our workforce and discretionary spending. At the same time, we are appropriately addressing the ongoing needs of our business so that we continue to serve our customers.

- 20 -

Over the long term, the extent to which our business and results of operations will be impacted by economic and political uncertainty, geopolitical risks and public health crises depends on future developments that remain uncertain. We will continue to monitor the global environment and manage our business with the goal to minimize unfavorable impacts on operations and financial results.

The discussion below is structured to separately discuss the Consolidated Statement of Income, Business Segment Information, and Liquidity and Capital Resources. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company", "Parker", "we" or "us" refer to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Net income, as a percent of sales	14.1		%	8.5		%	13.8		%	8.8		%

Net sales increased for the current-year quarter due to higher sales in the Aerospace Systems Segment, partially offset by lower sales in the Diversified Industrial Segment. Currency exchange rate changes increased net sales during the current-year quarter by approximately $25 million, of which approximately $16 million and $9 million were attributable to the Diversified Industrial and Aerospace Systems Segments, respectively. The impact of divestiture activity decreased sales by approximately $13 million during the current-year quarter.

Net sales increased for the first six months of fiscal 2024 due to higher sales in both the Aerospace Systems and Diversified Industrial Segments. The acquisition of Meggitt (the "Acquisition") increased sales by approximately $501 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024. The effect of currency rate changes increased net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2024 by approximately $65 million, of which $52 million and $13 million were attributable to the Diversified Industrial and Aerospace Systems Segments, respectively. The impact of divestiture activity decreased sales by approximately $38 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024.

Gross profit margin (calculated as net sales minus cost of sales, divided by net sales) increased in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024 due to higher margins in both segments resulting from price increases, favorable product mix and moderating material costs. In addition, cost of sales in the prior-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 included $112 million and $130 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to the step-up in inventory to fair value resulting from the Acquisition.

Cost of sales also included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $9 million and $6 million for the current and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $18 million and $9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased during the current-year quarter primarily due to lower research and development expenses, partially offset by an increase in intangible asset amortization expense and wages, salaries and incentive compensation. SG&A increased during the first six months of fiscal 2024 primarily due to higher intangible asset amortization and stock compensation expense, as well as increased wages, salaries and incentive compensation, partially offset by a decrease in acquisition-related transaction costs of $111 million. In both the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, SG&A benefited from savings related to prior-year restructuring and acquisition-integration activities.

SG&A included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $14 million and $32 million for the current and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $25 million and $45 million for the first six months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Interest expense decreased during the current-year quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2024 primarily due to lower average debt outstanding, partially offset by higher average interest rates.

Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss primarily relates to the impact of exchange rates on cash, forward contracts, certain cross-currency swap contracts and intercompany transactions. The first six months of fiscal 2023 also includes foreign currency transaction loss associated with completing the Acquisition.

Gain on disposal of assets and divestitures for the first six months of fiscal 2023 includes a gain on the sale of the aircraft wheel and brake business within the Aerospace Systems Segment of $373 million. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Loss on deal-contingent forward contracts includes a loss on the deal-contingent forward contracts related to the Acquisition. Refer to the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

Effective tax rate for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024 was lower than the comparable prior-year periods due to a net decrease in tax costs from permanent taxable adjustments and an increase in discrete tax benefits. The fiscal 2024 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 22.5 percent.

1This table reconciles the percentage changes in net sales of the Diversified Industrial Segment reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") to percentage changes in net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions and divestitures for 12 months after their completion as well as changes in currency exchange rates (a non-GAAP measure). The effects of acquisitions, divestitures and changes in currency exchange rates are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage changes in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period.

Net Sales

Diversified Industrial North America - Sales decreased 1.4 percent and increased 1.6 percent during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively. Changes in currency exchange rates increased sales by approximately $7 million and $18 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively. The effects of divestiture activity decreased sales by approximately $4 million and $5 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively. The Acquisition increased sales by approximately $77 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024.

Excluding the effects of the Acquisition, divestitures and changes in the currency exchange rates, sales in the Diversified Industrial North American businesses decreased 1.5 percent and 0.5 percent in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively. In the current-year quarter, the decrease is primarily due to lower demand from distributors and end users across the engine, refrigeration, cars and light truck and turf markets, partially offset by higher end-user demand in the aerospace, oil and gas, farm and agriculture and marine markets. In the first six months of fiscal 2024, sales decreased primarily due to lower end-user demand in the refrigeration, engine, turf, construction equipment and machine tool markets, partially offset by higher end-user demand in the aerospace, oil and gas, farm and agriculture markets as well as higher demand from distributors.

Diversified Industrial International - Sales increased 0.5 percent and 1.5 percent from the prior-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023, respectively. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates increased sales by approximately $9 million and $34 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively. The effect of the Acquisition increased sales by approximately $38 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024. Excluding the effects of the Acquisition and changes in the currency exchange rates, Diversified Industrial International sales decreased 0.2 percent and 1.2 percent in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, respectively. In the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, the decrease in sales was attributed to the Asia Pacific region, partially offset by an increase in sales in Europe and Latin America.

Within Europe, sales in the current-year quarter increased primarily due to higher demand from end users across the semiconductor, engine and forestry markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the construction equipment, industrial machinery and farm and agriculture markets as well as lower demand from distributors. In the first six months of fiscal 2024, sales increased primarily due to higher end-user demand in the engines, semiconductor and heavy-duty truck markets as well as higher demand from distributors, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the industrial machinery, life sciences and construction equipment markets.

- 23 -

Within the Asia Pacific region, sales in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024 decreased primarily due to lower end-user demand in the semiconductor, construction equipment, industrial machinery, refrigeration and metal fabrication markets, partially offset by higher end-user demand in the marine and engine markets. In the current-year quarter, we also experienced higher demand from distributors.

Within Latin America, sales in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024 increased primarily due to higher demand from distributors and end users in the marine, oil and gas, engines and power generation markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the farm and agriculture, heavy-duty truck, industrial machinery and metal fabrication markets.

Operating Margin

Operating margin increased in the North American businesses and remained flat in the International businesses during both the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024, primarily due to price increases, favorable product mix, cost containment and moderating material costs, partially offset by higher wages, salaries and incentive compensation. International businesses also experienced higher business realignment charges in both the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024.

Business Realignment

The following business realignment and acquisition integration charges are included in Diversified Industrial North American and Diversified Industrial International operating income:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Diversified Industrial North America	$	4	$	3	$	7	$	3
Diversified Industrial International	10		3		21		5

The business realignment charges primarily consist of severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures. Acquisition integration charges relate to the acquisition of Meggitt. Business realignment and acquisition integration charges within the Diversified Industrial International businesses were primarily incurred in Europe.

We anticipate that cost savings realized from the workforce reduction measures taken in the first six months of fiscal 2024 will not materially impact operating income in fiscal 2024 and will increase operating income by approximately one percent in fiscal 2025 for both the Diversified Industrial North American and International businesses. We expect to continue to take actions necessary to integrate acquisitions and appropriately structure the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $59 million of additional business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2024. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.

Backlog

Diversified Industrial Segment backlog, as of December 31, 2023, decreased from the prior-year quarter and June 30, 2023 amount of $4.8 billion due to shipments exceeding orders in both the North American and International businesses. Backlog in the North American and International businesses accounted for approximately 70 percent and 30 percent, respectively, of the decrease from both the prior-year quarter and June 30, 2023.

Within the International businesses, the Asia Pacific region accounted for approximately 90 percent of the decrease from the prior-year quarter, while the remaining decrease was evenly split between Latin America and Europe. Europe, the Asia Pacific region and Latin America accounted for approximately 65 percent, 30 percent and five percent, respectively, of the decrease from June 30, 2023.

Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.

Net Sales

Aerospace Systems Segment sales for the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024 increased compared to the same prior-year periods primarily due to higher volume across all businesses, especially the commercial aftermarket business. Sales also increased by $386 million during the first six months of fiscal 2024 due to the Acquisition.

Operating Margin

Aerospace Systems Segment operating margin increased during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2024 due to higher volume across all businesses, favorable aftermarket mix and lower acquisition-integration charges, as well as benefits of cost containment initiatives and prior-year business realignment and acquisition integration activities. In addition, operating income in the prior-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2023 included $112 million and $130 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to the step-up in inventory to fair value resulting from the Acquisition. Favorable contract settlements also contributed to the increase in operating margin during the first six months of fiscal 2024.

Business Realignment

Within the Aerospace Systems Segment, we incurred acquisition integration and business realignment charges of $9 million and $33 million in the current and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $15 million and $46 million in the first six months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. We do not expect to incur material business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2024. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.

Backlog

Aerospace Systems Segment backlog, as of December 31, 2023, increased from the prior-year quarter primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in the commercial and military aftermarket and commercial original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") businesses, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the military OEM business.

The increase in backlog from the June 30, 2023 amount of $6.2 billion is primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in all businesses, especially the commercial aftermarket business.

Other items, net	(2)		(10)		(5)		(12)
	$	(32)	$	2	$	(9)	$	168

Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss primarily relates to the impact of exchange rates on cash, forward contracts, certain cross-currency swap contracts and intercompany transactions. Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss during the first six months of 2023 also included foreign currency transaction loss associated with completing the Acquisition.

Gain on disposal of assets and divestitures for the first six months of fiscal 2023 includes a gain on the sale of the aircraft wheel and brake business within the Aerospace Systems Segment of approximately $373 million. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that we are great generators and deployers of cash. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operations and meet our strategic capital deployment objectives, which include the following:

•Continuing our record annual dividend increases

•Investing in organic growth and productivity

•Strategic acquisitions that strengthen our portfolio

•Offset share dilution through 10b5-1 share repurchase program

•Repurchases of 0.2 million common shares for $100 million during fiscal 2024 compared to repurchases of 0.4 million common shares for $100 million during fiscal 2023.

•Net commercial paper repayments of $584 million in fiscal 2024 compared to net commercial paper borrowings of $235 million in fiscal 2023.

•Principal payments totaling $200 million related to the Term Loan Facility in fiscal 2024 compared to principal payments totaling $100 million related to the Term Loan Facility in fiscal 2023.

Cash Requirements

We are actively monitoring our liquidity position and remain focused on managing our inventory and other working capital requirements. We are continuing to target two percent of sales for capital expenditures and are prioritizing those related to safety and strategic investments. We believe that cash generated from operations and our commercial paper program will satisfy our operating needs for the foreseeable future.

Dividends

We declared a quarterly dividend of $1.48 per share on October 25, 2023, which was paid on December 1, 2023. Dividends have been paid for 294 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 67 years. Additionally, we declared a quarterly dividend of $1.48 per share on January 25, 2024, payable on March 1, 2024.

Share Repurchases

The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. On October 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the overall number of shares authorized to repurchase under the program so that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was 35 million. There is no limitation on the number of shares that can be repurchased in a year. Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury shares. Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of share repurchases.

Liquidity

Cash, comprised of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments, includes $327 million and $422 million held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company does not permanently reinvest certain foreign earnings. The distribution of these earnings could result in non-federal U.S. or foreign taxes. All other undistributed foreign earnings remain permanently reinvested.

We are currently authorized to sell up to $3.0 billion of short-term commercial paper notes. As of December 31, 2023, $1.2 billion of commercial paper notes were outstanding, and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding during the current-year quarter was $1.7 billion.

The Company has a line of credit totaling $3.0 billion through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, of which $1.8 billion was available as of December 31, 2023. Advances from the credit agreement can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The credit agreement supports our commercial paper program, and issuances of commercial paper reduce the amount of credit available under the agreement. The credit agreement expires in June 2028; however, the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. The credit agreement requires the payment of an annual facility fee, the amount of which is dependent upon the Company’s credit ratings. Although a lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would increase the cost of future debt, it would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreement, nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

We primarily utilize unsecured medium-term notes and senior notes to meet our financing needs and we expect to continue to borrow funds at reasonable rates over the long term. Refer to the Cash flows from financing activities section above and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Our debt portfolio includes the Term Loan Facility. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, we made principal payments totaling $200 million related to the Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The Company’s credit agreement and indentures governing certain debt securities contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the credit agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the indentures. Based on the Company’s rating level at December 31, 2023, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.0. At December 31, 2023, the Company's debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 0.51 to 1.0. We are in compliance and expect to remain in compliance with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement and indentures.

Our goal is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. The rating agencies periodically update our credit ratings as events occur. At December 31, 2023, the long-term credit ratings assigned to the Company's senior debt securities by the credit rating agencies engaged by the Company were as follows:


Fitch Ratings						BBB+
Moody's Investors Services, Inc.						Baa1
Standard & Poor's						BBB+

Supply Chain Financing

We continue to identify opportunities to improve our liquidity and working capital efficiency, which includes the extension of payment terms with our suppliers. We have supply chain financing ("SCF") programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain suppliers the option to be paid by the financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. We do not believe that changes in the availability of supply chain financing will have a significant impact on our liquidity. Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

A substantial portion of our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Most of our non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. We continue to manage the associated foreign currency transaction and translation risk using existing processes.

The Company manages foreign currency transaction and translation risk by utilizing derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through the Consolidated Statement of Income. Derivatives that are designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For cross-currency swap contracts measured using the spot method, the periodic interest settlements are recognized directly in earnings through interest expense. The translation of the foreign currency denominated debt that has been designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

The Company’s debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. Our objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting our exposure to changes in near-term interest rates. At December 31, 2023, our debt portfolio included $675 million of variable rate debt, exclusive of commercial paper borrowings. A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt, including weighted-average commercial paper borrowings for the six months ended December 31, 2023, by approximately $23 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2023. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
