"Our gross margin expansion reflects MBS-driven execution. The balance sheet and free cash flow generation remain strong, and we returned cash to shareholders. We announced a new $500 million share repurchase authorization in February and maintain an active M&A pipeline. Given the solid start to the year and our healthy order book, we are maintaining our mid-single-digit 2026 organic sales growth outlook. We also recognize the potential challenges posed by the volatile geopolitical and macroeconomic operating environment," Ms. Beck added.The company returned a total of $71 million to shareholders via dividends of $21 million and executing $50 million of share repurchases, while investing $11 million in capital expenditures. MSA maintains a strong liquidity position with net debt at the end of the first quarter of $433 million. The company's net leverage ratio was 0.9x at March 31, 2026. MSA's strong financial profile, including ample liquidity of $1.2 billion, continues to provide optionality around execution of strategic growth initiatives, including acquisitions.Conference Call MSA Safety will host a conference call on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its first quarter 2026 results.

Organic sales change highlights ongoing business performance excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currencies, acquisitions and divestitures. There can be no assurances that MSA's definition of organic sales change is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider sales change determined on a GAAP basis in addition to this non-GAAP financial measure.MSA Safety IncorporatedReconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresAdjusted operating income (Unaudited)Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)(In thousands)

(a) Transaction costs include advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees incurred during our evaluation of or in connection with acquisitions and divestitures. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expense in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures and operating ratios derived from non-GAAP measures. Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income excluding currency exchange gains / losses, restructuring charges, acquisition-related amortization, and transaction costs. Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income divided by net sales to external customers. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income plus depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales to external customers. These metrics are consistent with how management evaluates segment results and makes strategic decisions about the business. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under GAAP, and therefore do not purport to be alternatives to operating income or operating margin as a measure of operating performance. The company's definition of adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider operating income and net income determined on a GAAP basis in addition to these non-GAAP measures.MSA Safety IncorporatedReconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresAdjusted earnings (Unaudited)Adjusted diluted earnings per share (Unaudited)(In thousands, except per share amounts and percentages)

"Our strong balance sheet and ample liquidity continue to provide us the ability to deliver on our balanced capital allocation priorities of organic growth, M&A, and capital returns to shareholders, which will enable us to execute our strategy to invest and drive profitable growth," Beck added.The company deployed capital in line with its capital allocation strategy in 2025 by acquiring M&C TechGroup for $189 million, returning a total of $162 million to shareholders via dividends of $82 million and executing $80 million of share repurchases, while investing $68 million in capital expenditures. MSA maintains a strong liquidity position with net debt at the end of the fourth quarter of $416 million. The company's net leverage ratio was 0.9x at December 31, 2025. MSA's strong financial profile, including ample liquidity of $1.2 billion, continues to provide optionality around execution of strategic growth initiatives, including acquisitions.2026 Net Sales OutlookThe company is expecting mid-single digit full-year organic sales growth in 2026, and has provided an update on the operating environment below:TailwindsIncreasing global safety standards creating demand for sophisticated safety products and solutions; diverse end markets provide resiliencyFavorable underlying demand for fixed and portable detection, including MSA+ connected ecosystem solutionsCarry-over from fire service late AFG funding and U.S. Government shutdown in 2025Industrial PPE to benefit from continued momentum in fall protectionPositive contribution from strategic pricing actionsHeadwindsContinued macroeconomic, tariff and geopolitical policy uncertaintyMixed industrial end market demand globallyNon-recurrence of large detection orders in Latin AmericaConference Call MSA Safety will host a conference call on Thursday, February 12, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results.

Organic sales change highlights ongoing business performance excluding the impact of fluctuating foreign currencies, acquisitions and divestitures. There can be no assurances that MSA's definition of organic sales change is consistent with that of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider sales change determined on a GAAP basis in addition to this non-GAAP financial measure.MSA Safety IncorporatedReconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresAdjusted operating income (Unaudited)Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited)(In thousands)

(a) Transaction costs include advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees incurred during our evaluation of or in connection with acquisitions and divestitures. These costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures and operating ratios derived from non-GAAP measures. Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income excluding restructuring charges, currency exchange gains / losses, acquisition-related amortization, net cost for product related legal matter and transaction costs. Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income divided by net sales to external customers. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted operating income plus depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales to external customers. These metrics are consistent with how management evaluates segment results and makes strategic decisions about the business. Additionally, these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized terms under GAAP, and therefore do not purport to be alternatives to operating income or operating margin as a measure of operating performance. The company's definition of adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. As such, management believes that it is appropriate to consider operating income and net income determined on a GAAP basis in addition to these non-GAAP measures.MSA Safety IncorporatedReconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresAdjusted earnings (Unaudited)Adjusted earnings per diluted share (Unaudited)(In thousands, except percentages and per share amounts)
