However, the Proposed Amendment will not become operative until and unless the Company purchases all 2027 Existing Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Tender Offer.Any Existing Notes validly tendered and, in the case of the 2027 Existing Notes, related Consents validly delivered, may be withdrawn or revoked from the Tender Offer and, in the case of the 2027 Existing Notes, the Consent Solicitation, at or prior to the Withdrawal Time. Any Existing Notes validly tendered and, in the case of the 2027 Existing Notes, related Consents validly delivered, at or prior to the Withdrawal Time that are not validly withdrawn or revoked on or prior to the Withdrawal Time may not be withdrawn or revoked thereafter, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. In addition, any Existing Notes validly tendered and, in the case of the 2027 Existing Notes, related Consents validly delivered, after the Withdrawal Time may not be withdrawn or revoked, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.None of the Company, its board of directors, the Dealer Manager, the Tender and Information Agent, the trustee under the Existing Notes Indenture, or any of their respective affiliates, makes any recommendation as to whether any Holder should tender or deliver, or refrain from tendering or delivering, any or all of such Holder's Existing Notes or, in the case of the 2027 Existing Notes, the Consents, and none of the Company nor any of its affiliates has authorized any person to make any such recommendation. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Existing Notes and, if so, the principal amounts of Existing Notes to tender.

Whirlpool Announces $60M Investment, Up To 150 Jobs For New Ohio FacilityApril 10, 2026 2:27 PM
PR Newswire (US)

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Whirlpool Corporation today announced plans to further expand its industry-leading U.S. manufacturing footprint with the addition of a new, state-of-the-art production facility. Located in Perrysburg, Ohio, this will be the company's 11th factory in the United States and its 6th in the state of Ohio, further solidifying the company's position as a cornerstone of American industrial growth.







Whirlpool Corporation acquired an existing building, previously used for solar panel manufacturing, and will invest over $60 million to transform the facility, including new advanced manufacturing technologies and automation, to produce appliance components and subassembly work for washers and dryers. The development of the new plant will take place over the next two years, creating between 100-150 new jobs. This new facility will serve as a vital hub for Whirlpool Corporation's U.S. operations, providing critical support to nearby Ohio plants."Whirlpool Corporation is leaning into our commitment to U.S. manufacturing," said Marc Bitzer, Whirlpool Corporation chairman and CEO. "When there is a level playing field, our American workers can out-compete anyone in the world. This investment is proof of our confidence in that workforce and our determination to win by producing high-quality, innovative products in the U.S."This announcement follows a period of significant domestic investment for the company, including a $300 million investment in the company's laundry operations announced in October, which is aimed at increasing capacity, by adding a new production line and 400-600 new jobs."This new facility represents an evolution in American manufacturing," said Kristin Day, Whirlpool Corporation vice president of U.S. manufacturing. "By creating a hybrid environment where cutting-edge automation meets human ingenuity, we are not just building appliances—we are building the future domestic production for our industry. Our people remain the foundation of our success, and these tools will empower them to reach new levels of precision and efficiency."Approximately 80% of the major appliances Whirlpool Corporation sells in the U.S. are produced domestically, with the company spending $23 billion in manufacturing, labor and logistics in the past decade. Last year alone, the company spent more than $6 billion with U.S. suppliers.The investments are subject to the final approval of incentives. Assistance from JobsOhio and a tax credit from the State of Ohio are pending review and approval.Whirlpool Corporation expects to hold a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony for the facility later this year.For more information about Whirlpool Corporation and its U.S. manufacturing footprint, click here.Official Statements of Support
U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer:  "The Trump Administration's agenda is accelerating America's industrial resurgence by reducing trade barriers and ensuring that American workers and businesses can compete on even footing. Today's investment by Whirlpool Corporation demonstrates how an America First trade policy can strengthen the country's manufacturing base, create jobs, boost domestic production and support local economies."Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH): "Whirlpool is investing in the American worker and Ohio is leading the way in reindustrializing the American Heartland and an American manufacturing renaissance. Whirlpool and its workforce are a great reflection of American resilience and proof that we can not only make things in America but make them better."Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09): "For decades, we've fought to keep the heart of American manufacturing beating right here in Northwest Ohio. This major investment by Whirlpool proves that when we back our domestic producers, our communities thrive. I am proud to see this commitment to our local workforce, which strengthens our Great Lakes regional economy and ensures that America continues to lead the world in building the products that power our homes and our communities."Congressman Bob Latta (OH-05): "This investment will strengthen our domestic supply chain in Ohio. When companies like Whirlpool invest in expanding American manufacturing, they create good-paying jobs, strengthen supply chain resilience, and help keep our nation competitive. This new development will bring additional jobs to Perrysburg, further boosting our local economy and creating more opportunities for Ohio workers."Perrysburg Mayor Mark Weber: "This is exactly the kind of investment we're proud to see in Perrysburg. It means good jobs for our residents, continued growth for a strong local employer and a clear vote of confidence in both our workforce and our community. It's a great day for our city, and I look forward to welcoming Whirlpool to Perrysburg."Wood County Commissioner Craig LaHote: "Whirlpool has a strong record of success in our region, and we're excited about their plans to bring new opportunities and investment to Wood County. The company's decision to expand here speaks to our strong workforce and business environment, and we look forward to working with them as a new corporate partner in Wood County."About Whirlpool Corporation

27 Years, 260,000 Appliances: Whirlpool Celebrates Habitat for Humanity's 50th Anniversary and Improving Lives and Communities TogetherMarch 24, 2026 7:00 AM
PR Newswire (US)

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Whirlpool Corporation today is celebrating Habitat for Humanity International's 50th anniversary, marking five decades of building homes, communities and hope across more than 60 countries. As one of Habitat's longest-standing corporate partners, Whirlpool Corp. reaffirmed its commitment to expanding access to safe, affordable housing for families in the U.S. and around the world and support for Habitat's "Let's Open the Door" global campaign.







"Whirlpool Corporation is built on a simple idea: that life at home should be better for everyone," said Marc Bitzer, chairman and CEO of Whirlpool Corporation and member of the Habitat for Humanity International board. "For 27 years, Habitat for Humanity has been one of our most meaningful relationships in living out that ideal. Their work, and the families they serve, remind us why what we do matters. As Habitat marks 50 years of impact, we are proud to stand alongside them and to keep opening doors for families across America and around the world."Whirlpool and Habitat for Humanity have worked side by side since 1999. During that time, the relationship has delivered meaningful impact for families across the U.S. and in approximately 50 countries around the world:More than $160 million donated to Habitat for HumanityMore than 260,000 major home appliances donated globallyMore than 1.1 million people positively impacted in the U.S. and around the worldWhirlpool Corp. also supports every Habitat home built in the U.S. and Canada by providing a range, refrigerator and garbage disposal, helping new homeowners reduce major appliance costs, lower utility bills and spend less on food.The company's support has grown well beyond appliance donations. The BuildBetter with Whirlpool program has helped build sustainable, affordable homes nationwide and the backing of Habitat's Cost of Home campaign has contributed to changing more than 300 housing policies for an estimated 10 million people. And in the company's own backyard, Whirlpool Foundation is supporting Project T, a revitalization initiative targeting working families in Benton Harbor, Michigan.That same belief in supporting American families also drives Whirlpool Corp.'s commitment to American manufacturing. Whirlpool Corp. is proud to be the only major kitchen and laundry appliance company based and owned in the U.S. The company was founded in America in 1911 and has never left. Today, approximately 80 percent of the major appliances it sells in the U.S. are produced in American factories — three times the industry average. Its industry leadership in U.S. production is made possible by $23 billion spent in manufacturing, labor and logistics over the past decade and, most importantly, by its approximately 20,000 person U.S workforce, including nearly 14,000 manufacturing employees, across 10 factories nationwide.As Habitat marks this milestone, Whirlpool Corp. looks forward to continuing to open doors for families across America and around the world.To learn more about Habitat for Humanity's 50th anniversary, visit habitat.org.

Whirlpool stock edges higher after equity raise despite activist backlashFebruary 25, 2026 11:11 AM
IH Market News
Shares of Whirlpool Corp (NYSE:WHR) moved modestly higher in premarket trading Wednesday, gaining about 0.7% to $72.16, even as a prominent shareholder criticized the company’s recent capital raise.The appliance manufacturer said it had priced a public offering of roughly 6.9 million common shares at $69 each, generating approximately $475 million in proceeds. In addition, Whirlpool issued $525 million of three-year mandatory convertible preferred stock carrying an 8.5% dividend.Alongside the public offering, the company completed a $30 million private placement of shares at the same $69 price to Guangdong Whirlpool Electrical Appliances Co., a subsidiary of Shanghai-listed Whirlpool China (SS:600983).The fundraising drew pushback from billionaire investor David Tepper, founder of hedge fund Appaloosa Management, who sent a letter to Whirlpool’s board expressing concerns about the transaction. Tepper argued the equity issuance was executed at an excessively high cost of capital and caused significant and avoidable shareholder dilution.Appaloosa is the company’s third-largest shareholder, holding about 3.9 million shares — nearly 7% of Whirlpool’s approximately 56.52 million shares outstanding, according to LSEG data.Whirlpool stock had dropped roughly 14% on Tuesday to close at $71.67 after the company announced the concurrent $800 million capital raise. Management said the proceeds will primarily be used to reduce debt and support general corporate purposes, including investments aimed at expanding automation capabilities.Whirlpool stock price

Whirlpool Corporation Announces Pricing of Upsized Concurrent Offerings of Common Stock and Depositary SharesFebruary 25, 2026 12:46 AM
PR Newswire (US)

BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Whirlpool Corporation [NYSE: WHR] ("Whirlpool" or the "Company") announced today the pricing of its previously announced separate underwritten public offerings of (i) 6,884,057 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock"), at a public offering price of $69.00 per share (the "Common Stock Offering") and (ii) 10,500,000 depositary shares ("Depositary Shares"), each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of newly issued 8.50% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Preferred Stock"), at a public offering price of $50.00 per Depositary Share (the "Depositary Shares Offering" and, together, the "Offerings"). Whirlpool has granted the underwriters in each respective offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional (i) 1,014,493 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 1,000,000 Depositary Shares, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, in each case at the public offering price less the applicable underwriting discount. The Offerings are expected to close on February 27, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.







On February 24, 2026, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Guangdong Whirlpool Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. (the "Buyer") for the sale of an aggregate of 434,782 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price per share of $69.00, for an aggregate purchase price of $30 million.

("Whirlpool China"), an entity of which the Company indirectly holds a minority equity interest and which is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

As the color authority in the kitchen, the brand's Color of the Year program taps global trends to capture current cultural moments and inspire consumers around the world. This year's color is a minty-green hue that invites consumers to step into the fresh side and also introduces a new textural finish to the KitchenAid Color of the Year portfolio, Sand.







"Amid global uncertainty, we are seeing that consumers are seeking renewal by redefining success and reclaiming control over their personal fulfillment and well-being. That is why we are introducing Spearmint as our 2026 Color of the Year," said Chad Ries, Senior Director Global Brand and Product Marketing at KitchenAid Small Appliances. "For all of these reasons, we see Spearmint as a color that invites individuals to be present, promoting a refreshing state of mind, and symbolizing positive growth and renewal, embodying a return to self."For the first time ever, KitchenAid has expanded its Color of the Year program into the Major Appliance category by introducing a limited-edition 36-inch Dual Fuel Commercial-Style Range in the new Spearmint hue, available only through a limited-time sweepstakes1."The new Range is the first of many exclusive, limited-edition product drops coming from KitchenAid Major Appliances.

"With this year's Color of the Year selection we're also adding a new sand-textured paint finish to our Color of the Year portfolio which has a subtle, grounding warmth that feels reminiscent of baking, cooking, and the moments we spend creating in the kitchen. This makes Spearmint a color you don't just see, but feel. As one of our biggest programs of the year, Color of the Year felt like the right moment to introduce limited-editions to our Major appliance category and expand the color portfolio beyond the countertops."The Artisan® Stand Mixer is available in more than 40 colors, now including Spearmint on KitchenAid.com.KSM195PSSD– MSRP $549.992Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the KitchenAid Color of the Year program and how has it evolved over the years?

The program is led by Whirlpool's global Color, Finish, and Material team, who analyze sociocultural, interior design, and aesthetic trends over several years. They monitor emerging themes, validate long-term relevance, and refine the selection before finalizing the color.What does the Color of the Year development process look like?
The process begins years in advance. The team tracks cultural signals and emerging shades, reviews historical palettes, and considers consumer mindset shifts. From there, the team of experts fine-tune undertones, saturation, texture, and finish to ensure the color is just right.How long did the selection for Spearmint take from start to finish?
The Spearmint development process spanned approximately three years, though the team had been monitoring the trend of greens and blues in fashion and interiors for much longer.What trends influenced the selection of Spearmint?
The team observed the enduring popularity of greens and blues, alongside a resurgence of minty tones across fashion and interior design. Research also highlighted Makers' desire for sensorially designed spaces, which inspired the tactile finish.How is the Spearmint color described?
Spearmint is a vibrant minty green with distinct blue undertones, paired with a Sand finish that softens its brightness and gently diffuses the light. The result is a shade that feels grounding and energizing that radiates joy while also bringing a sense of calm.What are the ways that Spearmint differs from similar colors in the KitchenAid portfolio?
Spearmint is a bit brighter than any of the other greens and blues that are currently in the KitchenAid portfolio:More blue than PistachioMore green than Mineral WaterMore vivid than BlossomLighter and bluer than CardamomIt is also the first color to pair with the Sand texture outside of its limited-edition 2021 debut with "Light & Shadow."How was the Sand texture developed?
Inspired by the soft, subtle surface of mint leaves, the team explored glossy, matte, satin, and textured options. After extensive testing, they achieved a delicately sandy finish that feels warm, inviting, and sensorial, both visually and to the touch.Is the KitchenAid Color of the Year hue available to purchase in any additional major or small appliances?
The Spearmint colorway is only available on the Stand Mixer and 36-inch Dual Fuel Commercial Range. The 2026 Color of the Year Stand Mixer is available for purchase on KitchenAid.com.

PR Newswire (US)

Luxury leader debuts the "No Kitchen Kitchen" alongside a bold, texture-rich design aesthetic, showing how appliances can be beautifully hidden or a bold centerpiece.BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- JennAir® appliances, the luxury brand that defies the status quo, will have a presence at this year's 2026 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) in Orlando, Florida, exhibiting from February 17 - 19, 2026.

"For KBIS 2026, I wanted to show how JennAir products don't just support how we cook, but how we live." Kerrie Kelly says, "The kitchens were intentionally designed as a study in contrast—one celebrating appliances as expressive, statement-making elements, the other allowing them to recede quietly into the architecture—together showcasing JennAir brand's ability to support dramatically different design narratives. These spaces prove that innovation and individuality can coexist in a way that feels intentional, elevated, and deeply human."The Daring Kitchen: The space immediately captures attention featuring the RISE™ 48" Induction Professional-Style Range with Chrome Infused Griddle, a commercial-style range with beautiful knobs showing you can get the look of gas with the precise performance of induction, accented against Grape Harvest, a bold color from Sherwin Williams.

The wine column is engineered to protect wine by providing optimal temperature and humidity control, vibration-reducing technology, and advanced UV protection. "The Daring Kitchen was inspired by the idea that appliances can be loud and proud—designed as statement pieces that confidently anchor the space while harmonizing with rich color," Kerrie Kelly shares, "For this design, I chose expressive cabinetry, layered surfaces, and the unexpected luxury of Natured Squared Mussel Shell wine column paneling."The Look: Rich, tactile, and unapologetically bold.The Ethereal Kitchen: In stark contrast, a minimalist kitchen approach showcases JennAir® appliances complemented by Fabuwood Cabinetry. A highlight of this space is the new JennAir x Dekton custom refrigeration panel in Albarium which can be found on the 24" Undercounter Beverage Center.

"The Ethereal Kitchen was designed to embody the 'No Kitchen Kitchen' concept—quiet, graceful, and architectural—where integrated JennAir® appliances recede into a soft, calming composition of pale cabinetry, textural wallcoverings, and serene surfaces that allow the space to feel more like a living environment than a traditional kitchen," according to Kerrie Kelly.The Look: Airy, seamless, and light.The Conduit to Design: Collaborations in CraftJennAir brand expands the designer's palette through trend-setting partnerships:*NEW* JennAir x Dekton: A made-to-order refrigeration panel collection that flawlessly mimics natural stone.

A mint-green hue with tactile sand-texture paint finish brings calm, clarity, and revitalizing energy to the kitchenBENTON HARBOR, Mich., Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, KitchenAid® unveils Spearmint as its 2026 Color of the Year. Spearmint is the eighth edition of the iconic KitchenAid® Color of the Year Program. As the color authority in the kitchen, the brand's Color of the Year program taps global trends to capture current cultural moments and inspire consumers around the world. This year's color is a minty-green hue that invites consumers to step into the fresh side and also introduces a new textural finish to the KitchenAid Color of the Year portfolio, Sand.







"Amid global uncertainty, we are seeing that consumers are seeking renewal by redefining success and reclaiming control over their personal fulfillment and well-being. That is why we are introducing Spearmint as our 2026 Color of the Year," said Chad Ries, Senior Director Global Brand and Product Marketing at KitchenAid Small Appliances. "For all of these reasons, we see Spearmint as a color that invites individuals to be present, promoting a refreshing state of mind, and symbolizing positive growth and renewal, embodying a return to self."For the first time ever, KitchenAid has expanded its Color of the Year program into the Major Appliance category by introducing a limited-edition 36-inch Dual Fuel Commercial-Style Range in the new Spearmint hue, available only through a limited-time sweepstakes1."The new Range is the first of many exclusive, limited-edition product drops coming from KitchenAid Major Appliances. It is a rare collector's piece that you cannot buy in stores, and is available only through a limited-time sweepstakes, giving just five lucky winners the chance to own a piece of brand history alongside a matching stand mixer," said Kevin Sulaiman, Senior Brand Manager at KitchenAid Major Appliances.Until February 26, 2026, consumers can enter for a chance to win at https://www.kitchenaid.com/countertop-appliances/color-of-the-year."When identifying this year's color, we were driven by a desire to refresh the senses and find a moment of clarity. Spearmint breathes life into a space, filling it with a soothing yet invigorating energy," said Brittni Pertijs, Design Manager, Color, Material and Finish Design at Whirlpool Corporation. "With this year's Color of the Year selection we're also adding a new sand-textured paint finish to our Color of the Year portfolio which has a subtle, grounding warmth that feels reminiscent of baking, cooking, and the moments we spend creating in the kitchen. This makes Spearmint a color you don't just see, but feel. As one of our biggest programs of the year, Color of the Year felt like the right moment to introduce limited-editions to our Major appliance category and expand the color portfolio beyond the countertops."The Artisan® Stand Mixer is available in more than 40 colors, now including Spearmint on KitchenAid.com.KSM195PSSD– MSRP $499.992Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the KitchenAid Color of the Year program and how has it evolved over the years?
The KitchenAid Color of the Year program spotlights the brand's work on trend forecasting. Each year, the Whirlpool Color, Finish, and Material team identifies a single hue that reflects current cultural, aesthetic, and consumer trends - showcasing the KitchenAid brand's leadership in design and color innovation.What is the Whirlpool Color, Material & Finish team's involvement in the KitchenAid Color of the Year Program?
The program is led by Whirlpool's global Color, Finish, and Material team, who analyze sociocultural, interior design, and aesthetic trends over several years. They monitor emerging themes, validate long-term relevance, and refine the selection before finalizing the color.What does the Color of the Year development process look like?
The process begins years in advance. The team tracks cultural signals and emerging shades, reviews historical palettes, and considers consumer mindset shifts. From there, the team of experts fine-tune undertones, saturation, texture, and finish to ensure the color is just right.How long did the selection for Spearmint take from start to finish?
The Spearmint development process spanned approximately three years, though the team had been monitoring the trend of greens and blues in fashion and interiors for much longer.What trends influenced the selection of Spearmint?
The team observed the enduring popularity of greens and blues, alongside a resurgence of minty tones across fashion and interior design. Research also highlighted Makers' desire for sensorially designed spaces, which inspired the tactile finish.How is the Spearmint color described?
Spearmint is a vibrant minty green with distinct blue undertones, paired with a Sand finish that softens its brightness and gently diffuses the light. The result is a shade that feels grounding and energizing that radiates joy while also bringing a sense of calm.What are the ways that Spearmint differs from similar colors in the KitchenAid portfolio?
Spearmint is a bit brighter than any of the other greens and blues that are currently in the KitchenAid portfolio:More blue than PistachioMore green than Mineral WaterMore vivid than BlossomLighter and bluer than CardamomIt is also the first color to pair with the Sand texture outside of its limited-edition 2021 debut with "Light & Shadow."How was the Sand texture developed?
Inspired by the soft, subtle surface of mint leaves, the team explored glossy, matte, satin, and textured options. After extensive testing, they achieved a delicately sandy finish that feels warm, inviting, and sensorial, both visually and to the touch.Is the KitchenAid Color of the Year hue available to purchase in any additional major or small appliances?
The Spearmint colorway is only available on the Stand Mixer and 36-inch Dual Fuel Commercial Range. The 2026 Color of the Year Stand Mixer is available for purchase on KitchenAid.com.

In addition, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our India transaction expectations include, among other things, failure or delays in launching transaction based on Board approval, market conditions or other factors, failure or delays in share settlement and closing, transaction proceeds being lower than expected, alternative uses for proceeds received, brand license valuation expectations not being met, and strategic, economic or industry expectations for India not being realized. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in Whirlpool's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K. These cautionary statements should not be construed to be exhaustive and the forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. WHIRLPOOL CORPORATIONCONSOLIDATED CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (LOSS) (UNAUDITED)FOR THE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31 (Millions of dollars, except per share data)

$          1,275SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION - CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Millions of dollars except per share data) (Unaudited)We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, some of which we refer to as "ongoing" measures. These measures may include earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), EBIT margin, ongoing EBIT, ongoing EBIT margin, ongoing earnings per diluted share, adjusted effective tax rate, organic net sales, net debt leverage (Net Debt/Ongoing EBITDA), return on invested capital (ROIC) and free cash flow.Ongoing measures exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.Sales excluding foreign currency: Current period net sales translated in functional currency, to U.S. dollars using the applicable prior period's exchange rate compared to the applicable prior period net sales. Management believes that sales excluding foreign currency provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time, excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.
Organic net sales: Sales excluding the impact of certain acquisitions or divestitures, and foreign currency. Management believes that organic net sales provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time, excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations and certain acquisitions and/or divestitures.
Ongoing EBIT margin: Ongoing earnings before interest and taxes divided by net sales. Ongoing measures exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.
Ongoing earnings per diluted share: Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations. Ongoing measures provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.
Net debt leverage: Net debt to ongoing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) ratio is net debt outstanding, including long-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt, and notes payable, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by ongoing EBITDA. Management believes that net debt leverage provides stockholders with a view of our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt.
Return on invested capital: Ongoing EBIT after taxes divided by total invested capital, defined as total assets less non-interest bearing current liabilities (NIBCLS). NIBCLS is defined as current liabilities less current maturities of long-term debt and notes payable. This ROIC definition may differ from other companies' methods and therefore may not be comparable to those used by other companies. Management believes that ROIC provides stockholders with a view of capital efficiency, a key driver of stockholder value creation.
Adjusted effective tax rate: Effective tax rate, excluding pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items. Management believes that adjusted tax rate provides stockholders with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's effective tax rate, excluding the pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items.
Free cash flow: Cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow provides stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the Company's ability to fund its activities and obligations.Whirlpool does not provide a non-GAAP reconciliation for its forward-looking long-term value creation goals, such as EBIT, free cash flow conversion, ROIC and net debt leverage, as these long-term management goals are not annual guidance, and the reconciliation of these long-term measures would rely on market factors and certain other conditions and assumptions that are outside of the Company's control.We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and stockholders in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance, and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. 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 ongoing financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported net earnings available to Whirlpool per diluted share, net earnings, net earnings available to Whirlpool, net earnings margin, return on assets, net sales, effective GAAP tax rate and cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.We also disclose segment EBIT as an important financial metric used by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate performance and allocate resources in accordance with ASC 280 - Segment Reporting.GAAP net earnings available to Whirlpool per basic or diluted share (as applicable) and ongoing earnings per diluted share are presented net of tax, while individual adjustments in each reconciliation are presented on a pre-tax basis; the income tax impact line item aggregates the tax impact for these adjustments. The tax impact of individual line item adjustments may not foot precisely to the aggregate income tax impact amount, as each line item adjustment may include non-taxable components. Historical quarterly earnings per share amounts are presented based on a normalized tax rate adjustment to reconcile quarterly tax rates to full-year tax rate expectations. We strongly encourage investors and stockholders to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.FOURTH-QUARTER 2025 ONGOING EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES AND ONGOING EARNINGS PER DILUTED SHAREThe reconciliation provided below reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures ongoing earnings before interest and taxes and ongoing earnings per diluted share, with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool and net earnings (loss) per diluted share available to Whirlpool, for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Net earnings (loss) margin is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool by net sales. Ongoing EBIT margin is calculated by dividing ongoing EBIT by net sales. EBIT margin is calculated by dividing EBIT by net sales. The earnings per diluted share GAAP measure and ongoing measure are presented net of tax, while each adjustment is presented on a pre-tax basis. Our fourth-quarter GAAP tax rate was 27.3%. The aggregate income tax impact of the taxable components of each adjustment is presented in the income tax impact line item at our fourth-quarter adjusted tax rate (non-GAAP) of (29.7)%.

Note: Numbers may not reconcile due to rounding.*Earnings Before Interest & Taxes (EBIT) is a non-GAAP measure. The Company does not provide a forward-looking quantitative reconciliation of EBIT to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net earnings available to Whirlpool, because the net earnings available to noncontrolling interests item of such reconciliation -- which has historically represented a relatively insignificant amount of the Company's overall net earnings -- implicates the Company's projections regarding the earnings of the Company's non wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures that cannot be quantified precisely or without unreasonable efforts. FOOTNOTES

a.    RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE - In the first and third quarters of 2025, restructuring actions were announced related to organizational simplification efforts. In Q4, we incurred $46 million in costs related to multi-region footprint optimization with full-year costs totaling $63 million. 
In March 2024, the Company committed to workforce reduction plans in the United States and globally, in an effort to reduce complexity and simplify our organizational model after the European major domestic appliance transaction. The workforce reduction plans included involuntary severance actions as of the end of the first quarter of 2024. Total  costs for these actions were $21 million, of which we incurred $14 million in employee termination costs and $7 million in other associated costs. 
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company evaluated additional restructuring actions as part of the Company's organizational simplification efforts. Total costs for these actions were $58 million, which were primarily employee termination costs.

b.    IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL, INTANGIBLES AND OTHER ASSETS - During the fourth quarter of 2025, we determined the carrying value of the JennAir trademark exceeded its fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $106 million.

🥳🚀🚀🚀

loaded the boat on this baby WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHIRLPOOL 🥳

destined to sink
Hello my friends from abroad. I'm here in Brazil.
Let me talk about this company.
Whirlpool obviously owns the commercial branch in Latin America.
Some years ago, they started selling bad products with low life expectancy. So the balances would increase. But after that table table, where the kleptocrats decided to cause a lot of suffering and pain, loss and tears to many families around the world, selling machines that supposedly would have a standard lifespan (get it? I'm not saying extraordinary life expectancy!) with a real life of type... less than 2 years.
The plan was good, my hat is off. But, the image of the company, I mean, Whirlpool and Brastemp and Consul, started to fall apart. Because we have memories, ok? We know what they are selling right now.
In addition to the beautiful designs, the "jenial" side diffuser, when it breaks, is irreparable, turning the entire product into garbage. I keep imagining you, living happily, then the fridge breaks down and you have to throw away all the food, like 2 months of food, and get drunk on gas, and be used and abused by companies that sell a broken product to you, since the fabric.
Well, I'm not saying you'd be stupid if you kept or bought these stocks, but...you know...try this: go to google maps, and take a look at the ratings for every Building point or whirlpool service and draw your own conclusions.
As their plan has now begun to bear fruit, the rising stock prices will stop. And no one will buy it again; Please: check on social media, instagram, facebook .... amount of complaints about Brastemp, Consul, Whirlpool ... feel free.
And it will get worse.
If you want to lose a lot of money, buy it, resell it, associate your name with it. If you're a day trader, that's fine, you can still get some money. But if you are a medium or long term investor... good luck. If I were you, I would sell right now.
Sincerely, from a dissatisfied customer, who understood the whole situation.
One more piece of information: if sealed coils or hidden exhaust fans were good, the industries would have been using them for a long time, wouldn't they? Know what to expect: their technical assistance is in no way able to cover all the problems you are having. And it won't stop, I guarantee you. Search, please.

Whirlpool Corp $WHR Hitting Major Support, Now A Swing Buy Trade

Shares of Whirlpool Corp (WHR) continue to decline but finally the stock chart has hit major support. The $115 level is a major pivot from 2010 with Whirlpool now almost 50% off its 2018 highs. Swing traders should look for a bounce back to $125-$130 in the coming weeks. This is a classic technical setup for investors.

Back on the radar again

Shares of Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR) have fallen sharply over the last two days after the company reported earnings that did not meet Wall Street's expectations. As the stock plummets, I am following it closely as there is major chart support at $165. Please note, this is a quick bounce on Whirlpool Corporation only. The bounce will be swift and likey hit $172 within days.

Fri, 01 May 2015 17:39:13 GMT ~ Anemic U.S. factory data points to moderate growth bounce

[Reuters - UK Focus] - U.S. factory activity failed to gain steam in April after slowing for five straight months, but stronger-than-expected vehicle sales suggested the economy was finding some momentum after almost stalling in the first quarter. Still, the sluggishness in the manufacturing sector and other data on Friday showing construction spending hit a six-month low in March indicated that the anticipated acceleration in growth in the second quarter could disappoint. The economy expanded at a 0.2 percent annual pace in the first three months of the year, slammed by bad weather, a strong dollar and a now-resolved labor dispute at the West Coast ports, as well as lower oil prices, which have undercut domestic energy production. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector.

Whirlpool’s Jeff Fettig: Doing the World’s Laundry (3/07/15)

By Crystal Kim

A gold statue of a bald eagle, wings spread, talons open, sits atop a bookshelf in Jeff Fettig’s spare and tidy office at Whirlpool headquarters in Benton Harbor, Mich. “It was a gift from a colleague—a symbol of the company and its values,” says the appliance maker’s CEO.

The eagle, once as endangered a species as American manufacturing, starred in a Whirlpool TV commercial in 1978. Taps played in the background as the bird cut across the sky before diving to snatch a fish out of the water. A voice-over intoned, “He lived a simple idea. Do it right or don’t do it at all.”

Fettig, 58, has done it right since landing at Whirlpool (ticker: WHR) 34 years ago, straight out of Indiana University’s business school. He rose through the company’s ranks to become CEO in 2004, and since then has made Whirlpool the global leader in the highly fragmented large-home-appliance manufacturing market, with a more-than-10% market share. His success owes in part to several savvy acquisitions—of rival Maytag and appliance makers in Europe and China. Fettig also has used the courts, when necessary, to fend off aggressive foreign competition.

Fettig’s moves, and Whirlpool’s financial results, have resonated strongly with shareholders. At a recent $211, the shares have returned an average of 14% a year, dividends included, during his tenure, compared with an average annual total return of 8% in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

FOUNDED IN 1911, Whirlpool today has seven billion-dollar brands, including Whirlpool, Maytag, Jenn-Air, and Kitchen-Aid. The company sells washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves, and other so-called white goods, as well as small kitchen appliances, in 170 countries. “In our business, size and scale matter,” says Fettig.

Home appliances have been a dog-eat-dog business for decades. Sweden’s Electrolux (ELUXA.Sweden) muscled into the U.S. market in 1988 with its acquisition of WCI Group. Whirlpool moved into Europe a year later, acquiring Philips Electronics’ home-appliance business, which is now part of its Europe, Middle East, and Africa operations. Smaller U.S. companies that couldn’t stay competitive landed on the conveyor belt bound for the corporate junkyard.

Struggling Maytag agreed in 2005 to be sold to the private-equity firm Ripplewood Holdings. But Fettig and China’s Haier Electronics (1169.Hong Kong) swooped in before the deal closed to try to wrest the prize.

Whirlpool ultimately prevailed, paying $1.7 billion in cash and stock, even as other home-appliance manufacturers and industry experts questioned whether the transaction, which would give the combined company just under 50% of the U.S. appliance market, would violate antitrust laws. “We did our homework and felt very strongly that [the acquisition] would pass regulatory approval,” says Fettig.

Specifically, he argued that the Kenmore appliances that Whirlpool manufactured for Sears on a contract basis ought not to be included in Whirlpool’s market-share calculations. The Maytag deal was approved, and closed in 2006.

Fettig says Whirlpool might never have become an international competitor without the Maytag acquisition. Today, the company serves 40% of the North American market, with Electrolux a close second, at about 35%, pending its planned acquisition of General Electric ’s (GE) home-appliance business, announced last year. “Having a big market position in North America allows us to be competitive in Europe, India, and China, and vice versa,” he says.

After tucking in Maytag, Whirlpool acquired Italy’s Indesit and a 51% stake in China’s Hefei Rongshida Sanyo Electric, expanding its global platform by 30%. Indesit gave the company the No. 1 position in Italy, France, the United Kingdom, and Russia. Its Hefei Sanyo stake will give Whirlpool access to 10 times the distribution channels it had on its own in Asia, and open up rural markets in China.

ACQUISITIONS HAVE MADE Whirlpool’s results lumpy in the short term, but cutting costs and streamlining manufacturing are bound to pay off in the long run. Earnings fell 13% last year, to $914 million, or $11.49 a share, on revenue of $19.9 billion, up 6%. Analysts expect the company to earn $14.48 a share in 2015, and $16.90 in 2016, as revenue climbs above $24 billion.

Ken Zener, an analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets, sees 14% upside in Whirlpool’s shares. He has a 12-month price target of $240, which values the stock at 17 times his 2015 earnings estimate. “The discount decade is over,” Zener wrote in a recent note, referring to rampant discounting in the appliance industry.

The trouble began when Samsung Electronics (005930.Korea) and LG Electronics (066570.Korea) began selling appliances in North America in the early 2000s. The South Korean electronics giants, which now boast a combined 18% market share in the U.S., parlayed their smartphone credibility into feature-packed, low-priced washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Other manufacturers were forced to cut prices to stay competitive, and Whirlpool’s operating profit margins declined. In 2011, Fettig finally stopped taking the punches.

Whirlpool filed a fair-trade action that year against Samsung and LG for “dumping,” or selling products below cost, and petitioned the U.S. government to impose duties on their imports. The Commerce Department sided with Whirlpool, and LG and Samsung were penalized. “Occasionally, we have to use the law [against] people who want to cause harm to U.S. manufacturing,” Fettig says.

FETTIG GREW UP on a farm in Tipton, Ind., with eight siblings. He began tending livestock and making repairs on the property at the tender age of 6. He joined Whirlpool in 1981 in financial operations and says, “I felt lucky when I got the offer. The company set clear expectations and abided by a standard of excellence that resonated with me.”

Whirlpool’s former CEO, David Whitwam, recalls meeting Fettig in 1986 through a mentoring and leadership-development program. “Jeff had leadership capabilities at a young age, which was very impressive,” he says. “He was one of those rare, exceptional people you meet in a lifetime. I said to myself, ‘If we give Jeff the right experiences, he could run the company someday.’ ”

Fettig climbed the executive ranks on the marketing side of the company. He was promoted to vice president of KitchenAid in 1989, and later headed Europe and North America operations during Whirlpool’s formative years as a global company.

For Whirlpool to be successful in the global marketplace, it had to do more than sell American goods internationally. It needed regional manufacturing operations and marketing capabilities, the better to cater to local demands. “It is hard work, it takes time, and it is a lot more than planting flags in new operations,” Fettig says.

Asian consumers, for instance, like refrigerators that come in bright colors. They prize their appliances and display them prominently in their homes as signs of status. Washing machines sold in India are equipped with specialized agitators designed to keep five-foot-long saris from getting tangled. Europeans and Americans favor microwave ovens that can brown potatoes and crisp bacon. Whirlpool’s iconic KitchenAid stand mixer, which retails for $250 to $800 and comes in 60 colors, is a universal favorite.

Whirlpool operates 15 regional technology and research centers worldwide. The company doesn’t tout technology, per se; Fettig prefers to emphasize innovation. Whirlpool customers “don’t care about technology,” he says. “They just want their washers to wash better.”

They do care about energy savings, however, and the company’s products deliver. Whirlpool has teamed with Nest Labs, a maker of smart thermostats owned by Google (GOOGL), on a washer and dryer that not only can be operated remotely, but also incorporate energy-usage-gathering data that can translate into savings on utility bills. Such innovation helped Whirlpool win six awards at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, underscoring the promise of the Internet of Things in the home-automation category.

WITH OPERATIONS now in place abroad, Whirlpool is tidying up at home—in Benton Harbor, where it has undertaken a $155 million renovation of its corporate headquarters, expected to be completed in 2016. The company’s 15 local facilities will be consolidated into three “campuses,” featuring open-floor plans to promote creativity and collaboration.

Whirlpool also has partnered with Purdue University to pursue energy-efficiency initiatives. Several graduate engineering students in the company’s leadership-development program have been living since last year in a 1920s bungalow near Purdue’s campus called ReNEWW house, and have been charged with transforming it into a “superefficient” home that produces as much energy as it consumes. The project will run until 2018.

Fettig takes an active interest in civic affairs. In 2009, as the U.S. auto industry struggled to survive, Michigan’s economic output declined by 5.2%; the state ranked 49th in economic growth—or lack thereof. That year, Fettig helped found Business Leaders for Michigan, a business roundtable charged with reversing this sorry state of affairs.

Doug Rothwell, president and CEO of the organization, attributes Michigan’s rebound—it was 21st in econmic growth in 2013—to Fettig’s “tenacity” and “unemotional focus” that allowed him to fix problems instead of ruminating on the reasons for them.

WHIRLPOOL HAS done its bit to help the nation’s economy by slowly bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. from Mexico and elsewhere. But don’t confuse this with altruism. “We relocated jobs to the U.S. for one reason,” Fettig says. “We were making new investments in products for the North American market, and the most competitive place we could make them was in the U.S.”

Indeed, more than 80% of the products Whirlpool sells in the U.S. are now made here.

With high-skills manufacturing and tech jobs coming to Michigan, courtesy not only of Whirlpool but the rebounding auto industry and office-supply manufacturers, Rothwell predicts that the state could become a Midwestern Silicon Valley. He also expects it to climb into the top 10 in GDP in the next decade.

Whirlpool easily could have moved its headquarters across Lake Michigan to Chicago, where it already has a showroom. But Fettig chose to keep the company close to its roots—yet another reflection of Whirlpool’s values.
