"Our acquisition playbook continues to deliver results. Our recent acquisitions of MTL, Plasti-Fab and ThermaFoam contributed $50 million of revenue in the first quarter, and we expect all three of these acquisitions to exceed our original synergy projections.

"Free cash flow remains very much in line with our expectations to generate approximately $1 billion dollars in 2025. Consistent with our commitment to generate superior shareholder returns through a balanced capital deployment approach, we are raising our 2025 target level of share repurchases from $800 million to $1 billion. During the first quarter, we repurchased 1.2 million shares for $400 million.

"As we move forward in 2025, we will continue to invest in accelerating our introduction of innovative energy-efficient and labor-saving solutions, improving the Carlisle Experience, and optimizing operating efficiencies through the Carlisle Operating System. Our recent innovation efforts are bolstering our Voice of the Customer process and accelerating our speed-to-market through initiatives like our recently announced innovation accelerator program.

"We remain committed to our 2030 goal of $40 of adjusted EPS and 25% ROIC built on the strength of an imperative business model reinforced by well-known re-roofing drivers, along with the advantages of being a market leader in North America, which is arguably the best market globally for building envelope solutions and in general, economic performance.

"Throughout our 108-year history, Carlisle has demonstrated our commitment to deliver results for our customers, employees and shareholders and our strong resiliency during challenging times backed by our talented employee base, strong cash flow generation, and robust balance sheet. We are confident in our ability to navigate this current challenging environment."

First Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

First Quarter 2025 Segment Highlights

Carlisle Construction Materials ("CCM")

• Revenue of $799 million, increased 2% (-1% organic) year-over-year, driven by the acquisition of MTL and positive end-market demand partially offset by the year-over-year negative impact from weather and lower carryover pricing from 2024.

• Operating income was $195 million, down 8% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $217 million, down 5% year-over-year, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 27.1%. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was due to the lower carryover pricing from 2024 and targeted investments in innovation and Carlisle Experience enhancements.

Carlisle Weatherproofing Technologies ("CWT")

• Revenue of $297 million, declined 5% (-12% organic) year-over-year, primarily due to lower new construction activity and lower retail sales resulting from the drier-than-normal West Coast winter partially offset by the acquisitions of Plasti-Fab and ThermaFoam.

• Operating income was $16 million, down 62% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $46 million, down 28% year-over-year, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.6%. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to deleverage on lower revenue and negative price/cost in the quarter.

Cash Flow

Operating cash flow used by continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1.4 million. Free cash flow used by continuing operations was $30 million, a decrease of $162 million versus the prior year, resulting from lower income from continuing operations and higher uses of working capital compared to the prior year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we deployed $400 million toward share repurchases and paid $45 million in cash dividends. As of March 31, 2025, we had 2.3 million shares available for repurchase under our share repurchase program, with $220 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.0 billion available under our revolving credit facility.

2025 Outlook

• FY 2025 revenues to increase in the mid-single-digit percentage range year-over-year.

  • CCM - FY 2025 revenues to increase in the mid-single-digit percentage range year-over-year.

  • CWT - FY 2025 revenues to increase in the high-single-digit percentage range year-over-year.

• Adjusted EBITDA margins to expand ~50 bps.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally use words such as "expect," "foresee," "anticipate," "believe," "project," "should," "estimate," "will," "plans," "intends," "forecast," and similar expressions, and reflect our expectations concerning the future. 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. It is possible that our future performance may differ materially from current expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements, due to a variety of factors such as: increasing price and product/service competition by foreign and domestic competitors, including new entrants; 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; the ability to meet our goals relating to our intended reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, including our net zero commitments; threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism; protection and validity of patent and other intellectual property rights; the identification of strategic acquisition targets and our successful completion of any transaction and integration of our strategic acquisitions; our successful completion of strategic dispositions; the cyclical nature of our businesses; the impact of information technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence or data security breaches at our businesses or third parties; the outcome of pending and future litigation and governmental proceedings; the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies, including, for example, expectations regarding their impact on our businesses, including on customer demand, supply chains and distribution systems, production, our ability to maintain appropriate labor levels, our ability to ship products to our customers, our future results, or our full-year financial outlook; and the other factors discussed in the reports we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions and growth rates, the condition of the financial and credit markets and general domestic and international economic conditions, including inflation and interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations. Further, any conflict in the international arena, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and war in the Middle East, may adversely affect general market conditions and our future performance. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which that statement is made, and we undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances, including unanticipated events, after the date on which that statement is made, unless otherwise required by law. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of those factors, nor can it assess the impact of each of those factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

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 with unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Carlisle's financial results computed in accordance with GAAP.
