Comments from Chris Koch, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer

"Our record second quarter results reflect the Carlisle team's relentless focus on execution and operational discipline in a challenging macroeconomic environment. We delivered record revenue of $1.6 billion, up 8% year-over-year, and record adjusted EPS of $7.03, up 12%. Our teams drove above-market growth in both CCM and CWT through continued execution of our strategic growth initiatives. We focused on the factors within our control: swift pricing actions, disciplined cost management, and continued progress on innovation. We remain committed to advancing our Vision 2030 strategy through organic growth, bolt-on acquisitions, margin expansion, increased free cash flow, and disciplined capital allocation.

"Our record revenue was driven by above-market volume growth from continued execution of strategic initiatives, solid re-roofing demand, and customer pre-buying activity ahead of announced price increases. Our margin performance remained resilient despite continued market headwinds, reflecting the benefits of our operational efficiency initiatives and our unwavering commitment to operational excellence. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 30.7% at CCM and 19.0% at CWT, each in line with our expectations, even as elevated input costs outpaced pricing realization during the quarter. Notably, CWT's adjusted EBITDA margin improved 380 basis points compared to the prior quarter, aided by our investments in automation, manufacturing consolidation, and the expansion of in-house expanded polystyrene resin capacity, which all continued to gain traction.

"The most significant, and well-understood, external challenge in the quarter was the rapid rise in petroleum-derived raw material and freight costs driven by the conflict in the Middle East. We acted decisively to recover our costs through freight surcharges and broad-based price increases across CCM and CWT, implemented in April and July, with a third increase taking effect in August. As we have experienced in prior raw material inflationary cycles, pricing realization typically lags cost inflation, and we expect the benefit of our pricing actions to build through the second half of 2026 and into 2027.

"We also continued to advance our innovation pipeline to support our Vision 2030 objectives. We have launched roughly half of our planned new products for 2026, highlighted by the first commercial shipment of our award-winning ThermaThin 7 polyiso insulation. ThermaThin 7 enables thinner roof assemblies, lower freight costs from fewer truckloads, and superior cold weather thermal performance. We remain on track to introduce the balance of this year's new products and continue to invest in our research and innovation center to support long-term growth.

"Our strong balance sheet continues to support our balanced and disciplined approach to capital allocation. During the quarter, we repurchased $250 million of shares, and we have increased our full-year target for repurchases to $1.2 billion. Our M&A framework remains unchanged: disciplined, synergistic building envelope acquisitions that enhance our systems offering, increase content per square foot, and meet our strict returns criteria.

"Based on our first-half performance, continued momentum in our strategic growth initiatives, and the pricing actions we have taken, we are raising our full-year 2026 revenue outlook to mid-single-digit growth with flat adjusted EBITDA margin. This outlook reflects disciplined execution, partial recovery of higher raw material and freight costs, and easier comparisons. It does not assume a near-term recovery in new construction markets. With the strength of our imperative business model, resilient re-roofing demand, and our leadership position in North America, we remain confident in our path to $40 of adjusted EPS and 25%-plus ROIC under Vision 2030."

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Summary

Second Quarter 2026 Segment Highlights

Carlisle Construction Materials ("CCM")

• CCM revenue increased 8% (8% organic) to a record $1,181 million, driven by strong volume growth from continued execution of strategic initiatives and solid re-roofing demand, partially offset by continued softness in commercial new construction activity.
• CCM operating income increased 4% to $338 million, and adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $363 million, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 30.7%, down 90 basis points year-over-year, as higher volumes, Carlisle Operating System productivity gains and cost controls were more than offset by elevated raw material and freight cost inflation that outpaced pricing realization in the quarter.

Carlisle Weatherproofing Technologies ("CWT")

• CWT revenue increased 10% (8% organic) to $389 million, as share gains more than offset continued softness in residential and non-residential new construction end markets.
• CWT operating income decreased 2% to $42 million, and adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $74 million, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.0%, down 90 basis points year-over-year. This margin decrease reflects the impact of raw material and freight cost inflation, partially offset by the ongoing benefit of operational improvements, including the consolidation of our manufacturing footprint and the expansion of our in-house expanded polystyrene resin capacity.

Cash Flow

• For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash provided by operating activities was $197 million, and free cash flow from continuing operations was $130 million.
• During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we invested $70 million in capital expenditures. We also returned $590 million to shareholders through $500 million of share repurchases and $90 million of dividends.
• As of June 30, 2026, we had $665 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.0 billion available under our revolving credit facility.

We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized, although we believe that we have been prudent in our plans, estimates and assumptions. Such statements are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of publication and, as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen risks and uncertainties and to assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate. It is possible that our future performance may differ materially from current expectations expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including:

• increasing price and product/service competition by foreign and domestic competitors, including new entrants;
• significant reliance on our key customers;
• damage to, or prolonged disruption of, our manufacturing facilities;
• technological developments and changes;
• the ability to continue to introduce competitive new products and services on a timely, cost-effective basis;
• our mix of products/services;
• increases in raw material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing;
• domestic and foreign governmental and public policy changes including environmental and industry regulations;
• the ability of our customers to maintain appropriate labor levels under U.S. immigration laws, policies and practices;

Non-GAAP Disclosure

Carlisle reports its financial results in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This press release also contains certain financial measures such as adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, organic revenue, and free cash flow that are not recognized under GAAP. Management believes that adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and organic revenue are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to Carlisle’s and its segments' performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure core operating results due to potential variability across periods based on the timing, frequency and magnitude of such items. Management believes free cash flow is useful to investors as an additional way of viewing Carlisle's liquidity and provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Carlisle's cash flows. As a result, management believes that these measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in Carlisle’s businesses and evaluate Carlisle’s performance relative to similarly-situated companies. Reconciliations of these measures to amounts reported in Carlisle's consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of this press release. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Carlisle is not providing reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures because Carlisle does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis as Carlisle is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of adjusted items without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Carlisle's financial results computed in accordance with GAAP.
