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

"Carlisle’s third quarter performance remained resilient despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. Revenue grew 1% year-over-year to $1.3 billion, and adjusted EPS was $5.61. We remain committed to our Vision 2030 strategy and delivering on our key initiatives and long-term financial targets to create value for our stakeholders. We fully appreciate the impact that current headwinds are having on the building products market, and we are working diligently to navigate the uncertainty in new construction activity and the ongoing changes driven by consolidation of distributors, manufacturers and contractors.

"In the third quarter, CCM continued to benefit from solid commercial re-roofing demand, a core driver of Carlisle’s value creation history. As those familiar with the Carlisle story know, re-roofing is an imperative business model, meaning it is not a discretionary item for building owners. Re-roofing demand remained healthy with stable contractor backlogs offsetting weaker new construction and temporary fluctuations in order patterns driven by changes in our distribution channel. CCM’s ability to capitalize on the favorable fundamentals supporting long-term commercial re-roofing growth, including an aging building stock and a growing footprint, are reinforced by our scale in the U.S.—arguably the best global construction market, our drive to deliver meaningful innovation to the market, and our superior Carlisle Experience. We believe the temporary changes seen in the distribution channel in 2025 will ultimately be resolved and result in a return to a more stable and improved situation.

"At CWT, the well understood and ongoing end market headwinds continued to affect results in the third quarter, particularly in residential new construction, where affordability challenges and higher interest rates continue to negatively impact demand. Our progress on strategic initiatives is gaining traction and positioning the business for steady margin expansion as we move forward and closer to a return to an improved housing market. Synergies from our Plasti-Fab and ThermaFoam acquisitions are tracking ahead of plan, and we anticipate $12 million of annualized savings in 2026. These efforts, along with our share gain initiatives in retail category expansion with UltraTouch^® denim insulation and advanced waterproofing technologies are creating multiple paths to sales growth and margin improvement.

"Innovation is a critical pillar of our Vision 2030 strategy and has always been a leading differentiator for Carlisle. Our focus on innovation has delivered key new products in 2025. We are seeing strong market adoption of recently launched products such as RapidLock™, SeamShield™, APEEL™, VP Tech™, and UltraTouch^®, all of which address the mega trends around energy efficiency and labor-saving solutions. We are continuing to drive increased R&D investment, including expanding our Research and Innovation Center in Carlisle, PA, to accelerate product introductions and sustain above-market growth.

"We remain committed to disciplined capital deployment and strong cash flow generation. During the quarter, we repurchased 0.8 million shares for $300 million and raised our dividend by 10%, marking Carlisle’s 49^th consecutive annual increase. We expect to generate approximately $1.0 billion of cash from operating activities this year, providing meaningful capacity to reinvest in innovation, pursue strategic acquisitions, and return capital to shareholders. We are increasing our share buyback target to $1.3 billion for the full year of 2025.

"We are revising our 2025 full-year outlook to flat revenue year-over-year with adjusted EBITDA margin down 250 basis points from 2024 but still firmly in the mid-20s percent range, demonstrating the resilience of our margins through challenging new construction cycles. Our more conservative sentiment takes into account both our third quarter results and the Carlisle Market Survey results for the fourth quarter outlook. Our commercial re-roofing leadership, prudent operational enhancements, strategic growth avenues and consistent execution under Vision 2030 give us confidence even in times of prolonged economic uncertainty. We are not waiting for a recovery. We are building the next phase of growth, focused on innovation, operational excellence, and long-term value creation as we progress toward our Vision 2030 goal of $40 of adjusted EPS."

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

Third Quarter 2025 Segment Highlights

Carlisle Construction Materials ("CCM")

• CCM revenue increased 0.3% (0% organic) to $1.0 billion, as healthy re-roof activity was offset by challenging new construction activity and near-term disruption from changes in the distribution channel.
• CCM operating income decreased 7% to $280 million, and adjusted EBITDA decreased 8% to $303 million, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 30.2%. This decrease was primarily the result of materials inflation, higher operating costs to enhance the Carlisle Experience, and investments in innovation.

Carlisle Weatherproofing Technologies ("CWT")

• CWT revenue increased 3% (-8% organic) to $346 million as revenue from the acquisitions of Plasti-Fab, ThermaFoam, and Bonded Logic more than offset the impact of lower volumes due to the continued softness in residential and commercial end-markets.
• CWT operating income decreased 37% to $30 million, and adjusted EBITDA decreased 13% to $60 million, reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.4%. This decrease was primarily the result of lower volumes, partially offset by progress on strategic initiatives.

Cash Flow

• For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash provided by operating activities was $716 million, and free cash flow from continuing operations was $620 million.
• During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we invested $199 million in the business with $91 million in capital expenditures and $108 million in acquisitions. We also returned $1.1 billion to shareholders through $1.0 billion of share repurchases and $135 million of dividends.
• As of September 30, 2025, we had $1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $1.0 billion available under our revolving credit facility.

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; 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, interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations, and tariffs. 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.

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.
