HUBBELL REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
•2Q diluted EPS of $3.94; adjusted diluted EPS of $4.37
•2Q net sales +6% (organic +2%; net M&A +5%)
•2Q operating margin 20.7%; adjusted operating margin 22.8% (+40bps y/y)
•Raising FY24 outlook; diluted EPS of $14.30-$14.60; adj. diluted EPS of $16.20-$16.50
SHELTON, CT. (July 30, 2024) – Hubbell Incorporated (NYSE: HUBB) today reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“Hubbell delivered solid performance in the second quarter,” said Gerben Bakker, Chairman, President and CEO. “Operational execution was strong, and the Company returned to adjusted operating margin expansion in the quarter.”
Mr. Bakker continued, “Second quarter performance was highlighted by strong organic growth and margin expansion in our Electrical Solutions segment. Robust project activity drove strong sales growth in datacenters and renewables as our vertical market strategy continues to gain traction and differentiate Hubbell with our customers. Operational execution on HES segment unification and simplification efforts contributed to significant operating margin expansion in the quarter. In Utility Solutions, sales growth was driven by acquisitions, as well as strong growth in transmission/substation infrastructure and grid automation. Utility distribution markets continued to be impacted by customer inventory normalization, and telcom markets were weak. Utility T&D end customer demand remains strong, and HUS achieved sequential operating margin improvement in the second quarter.”

Mr. Bakker concluded, “As grid modernization and electrification drive investment in utility and electrical infrastructure, Hubbell is uniquely positioned to continue achieving differentiated, sustainable outperformance for our customers and shareholders. We are raising our full year 2024 outlook, and are confident in our ability to continue delivering on our commitments.”
Certain terms used in this release, including "net debt", "free cash flow", "organic net sales", "organic net sales growth", "restructuring-related costs", "Adjusted EBITDA", and certain other "adjusted" measures, are defined under the section entitled "Non-GAAP Definitions." See page 10 for more information.

SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The comments and year-over-year comparisons in this segment review are based on second quarter results in 2024 and 2023.
Utility Solutions segment net sales in the second quarter of 2024 increased 12% to $927 million compared to $831 million reported in the second quarter of 2023. Organic net sales decreased approximately 1% in the quarter while acquisitions added 13%. Grid Infrastructure net sales increased approximately 12% and Grid Automation net sales increased approximately 10%. Segment operating income was $196 million, or 21.2% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $200 million, or 24.0% of net sales in the same period of 2023. Adjusted operating income was $222 million, or 24.0% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $213 million, or 25.6% of net sales in the prior year period. Changes in operating income and operating margin were primarily due to the impact of acquisitions, favorable price and productivity in excess of cost inflation, volume declines in enclosures products primarily driven by telcom markets, and higher restructuring and related investment.
Electrical Solutions segment net sales in the second quarter of 2024 decreased to $526 million compared to $535 million reported in the second quarter of 2023. Organic net sales increased 7% in the quarter, while a divestiture reduced segment net sales by 9%. Segment operating income was $105 million, or 20.0% of net sales, compared to $88 million, or 16.5% of net sales in the same period of 2023. Adjusted operating income was $109 million, or 20.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to $93 million, or 17.3% of net sales in the same period of the prior year. Changes in operating income and operating margin were driven primarily by volume growth, favorable price and productivity in excess of cost inflation and the impact of portfolio transformation and mix, as well as higher restructuring and related investment.
In December 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its residential lighting business for a cash purchase price of $131 million, subject to customary adjustments. The transaction closed in the first quarter of 2024 and the Company recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of $5.3 million within Total other expense in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
Adjusted diluted EPS in the second quarter 2024 excludes $0.40 of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and $0.03 of transaction, integration, and separation costs. Adjusted diluted EPS in the second quarter 2023 excluded $0.25 of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
3

Net cash provided by operating activities was $240 million in the second quarter of 2024 versus net cash provided by operating activities of $228 million in the 2023 period. Free cash flow was $206 million in the second quarter of 2024 versus $192 million in the comparable period of 2023.

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK
For the full year 2024, Hubbell anticipates diluted earnings per share in the range of $14.30-$14.60 and anticipates adjusted diluted earnings per share ("Adjusted EPS") in the range of $16.20-$16.50. Adjusted EPS excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, which the Company expects to be approximately $1.60 for the full year, a $0.22 loss on disposition of the residential lighting business, and $0.10 of transaction, integration, and separation costs. The Company believes Adjusted EPS is a useful measure of underlying performance in light of our acquisition and divestiture strategy.
Hubbell anticipates full year 2024 total sales growth of 7-8% and organic net sales growth of approximately 3%, as compared to full year 2023. The Company anticipates acquisitions net of the residential lighting business divestiture contributing approximately 5% to full year sales growth.
The diluted EPS and Adjusted EPS ranges are based on an adjusted tax rate of approximately 22.5% and include approximately $0.35 of anticipated restructuring and related investment. The Company continues to expect full year 2024 free cash flow of approximately $800 million.

NON-GAAP DEFINITIONS
References to "adjusted" operating measures exclude the impact of certain costs, gains or losses. Management believes these adjusted operating measures provide useful information regarding our underlying performance from period to period and an understanding of our results of operations without regard to items we do not consider a component of our core operating performance. Adjusted operating measures are non-GAAP measures, and include adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributed to Hubbell Incorporated, adjusted net income available to common shareholders, adjusted earnings per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures exclude, where applicable:
•Amortization of all intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions, including inventory step-up amortization associated with those acquisitions. The intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions arise from the allocation of the purchase price using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations.” These assets consist primarily of customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and tradenames, and patents, as reported in Note 7—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, under the heading “Total Definite-Lived Intangibles,” within the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023. The Company excludes these non-cash expenses because we believe it (i) enhances management’s and investors’ ability to analyze underlying business performance, (ii) facilitates comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods, and (iii) provides more relevant comparisons of our results with the results of other companies as the amortization expense associated with these assets may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the timing, size, nature, and number of acquisitions. Although we exclude amortization of these acquired intangible assets and inventory step-up from our non-GAAP results, we believe that it is important for investors to understand that revenue generated, in part, from such intangibles is included within revenue in determining adjusted net income attributable to Hubbell Incorporated.
•Transaction, integration, and separation costs associated with our business acquisitions and divestitures. The effects that acquisitions and divestitures may have on our results fluctuate significantly based on the timing, size, and number of transactions, and therefore results in significant volatility in the costs to complete transactions and integrate or separate the businesses. The size of acquisition and divestiture actions taken by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2023 has resulted in a significant increase in these costs, as a result we believe excluding costs, relating to these fourth quarter transactions provides useful and more comparative information to investors to better assess our operating performance.
•Gains or losses from the disposition of a business. The Company excludes these gains or losses because we believe it enhances management's and investors' ability to analyze underlying business performance and facilitates comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods. In the first quarter of 2024 the Company recognized a $5.3 million pre-tax loss on the disposition of the residential lighting business.
•The income tax effect directly related to the disposition of the residential lighting business. In the first quarter of 2024 the Company recognized $6.8 million of income tax expense on the sale of the residential lighting business, primarily driven by differences between book and tax basis in goodwill.
•Income tax effects of the above adjustments, which are calculated using the statutory tax rate, taking into consideration the nature of the item and the relevant taxing jurisdiction, unless otherwise noted.
10

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the items noted above and also excludes the Other income (expense), net, Interest expense, net, and Provision for income taxes captions of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, as well as depreciation and amortization expense.
Net debt (defined as total debt less cash and investments) to total capital is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is a useful measure for evaluating the Company's financial leverage and the ability to meet its funding needs.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to generate cash without reliance on external financing. In addition, management uses free cash flow to evaluate the resources available for investments in the business, strategic acquisitions and further strengthening the balance sheet.
In connection with our restructuring and related actions, we have incurred restructuring costs as defined by U.S. GAAP, which are primarily severance and employee benefits, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation, as well as facility closure, contract termination and certain pension costs that are directly related to restructuring actions. We also incur restructuring-related costs, which are costs associated with our business transformation initiatives, including the consolidation of back-office functions and streamlining our processes, and certain other costs and gains associated with restructuring actions. We refer to these costs on a combined basis as "restructuring and related costs", which is a non-GAAP measure.
Organic net sales, a non-GAAP measure, represents net sales according to U.S. GAAP, less net sales from acquisitions and divestitures during the first twelve months of ownership or divestiture, respectively, less the effect of fluctuations in net sales from foreign currency exchange. The period-over-period effect of fluctuations in net sales from foreign currency exchange is calculated as the difference between local currency net sales of the prior period translated at the current period exchange rate as compared to the same local currency net sales translated at the prior period exchange rate. We believe this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency, as these activities can obscure underlying trends. When comparing net sales growth between periods excluding the effects of acquisitions, business dispositions and currency exchange rates, those effects are different when comparing results for different periods. For example, because net sales from acquisitions are considered inorganic from the date we complete an acquisition through the end of the first year following the acquisition, net sales from such acquisition are reflected as organic net sales thereafter.
11

There are limitations to the use of non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP measures do not present complete financial results. We compensate for this limitation by providing a reconciliation between our non-GAAP financial measures and the respective most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or alternative measures of, reported GAAP financial results, and should be viewed in conjunction with the most comparable GAAP financial measures and the provided reconciliations thereto. We believe, however, that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed together with our GAAP results and related reconciliations, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure can be found in the tables below. When we provide our expectations for organic net sales, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures (expected net sales, effective tax rate, diluted EPS and net cash flows provided by operating activities) generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, certain financing costs, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.
