Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025
AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative, from management's perspective, on our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes in Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company", "Parker", "we" or "us" refer to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries. Dollars are presented in millions, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted. The Company has changed its presentation on the consolidated financial statements from thousands to millions and, as a result, any necessary rounding adjustments have been made to prior period disclosed amounts within MD&A.
OVERVIEW
The Company is a global leader in motion and control technologies. Leveraging a unique combination of interconnected technologies, we design, manufacture, and provide aftermarket support for highly engineered solutions that create value for customers primarily in aerospace and defense, in-plant and industrial equipment, transportation, off-highway, energy, and HVAC and refrigeration markets around the world.
By aligning around our purpose, Enabling Engineering Breakthroughs that Lead to a Better Tomorrow, Parker is better positioned for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.
The Win Strategy is Parker's business system that defines the goals and initiatives that create responsible, sustainable growth and enable Parker's long-term success. It works with our purpose, which is a foundational element of The Win Strategy, to engage team members and create responsible and sustainable growth. Our shared values shape our culture and our interactions with stakeholders and the communities in which we operate and live.
We believe many opportunities for profitable growth are available. The Company intends to focus primarily on business opportunities in the areas of aerospace and defense, in-plant and industrial equipment, transportation, off-highway, energy and HVAC and refrigeration. We believe we can meet our strategic objectives by:
-
serving the customer and continuously enhancing its experience with the Company;
-
successfully executing The Win Strategy initiatives relating to engaged people, customer experience, profitable growth and financial performance;
-
maintaining a decentralized division and sales company structure;

We manage our supply chain through our "local for local" manufacturing strategy, ongoing supplier management process and broadened supply base. We actively monitor global trade policies and inflation, managing their impact through a variety of cost and pricing measures. In addition, continuous improvement and lean initiatives, along with disciplined workforce and discretionary spending management, further enhance our ability to mitigate these impacts. At the same time, we are appropriately addressing the ongoing needs of our business so that we continue to serve our customers.
Over the long term, the extent to which our business and results of operations will be impacted by global economic and political uncertainty and geopolitical risks depends on future developments that remain uncertain. We will continue to monitor the global environment and manage our business with the goal to minimize unfavorable impacts on operations and financial results.

Net sales increased in the current-year quarter due to higher sales in both the Aerospace Systems and Diversified Industrial Segments. The effect of currency exchange rate changes increased net sales during the current-year quarter by approximately $84 million. The impact of prior-year divestiture activity decreased net sales by approximately $38 million during the current-year quarter. The impact of the acquisition of Curtis increased net sales by approximately $74 million during the current-year quarter.
Net sales increased in the first six months of fiscal 2026 due to higher sales in both the Aerospace Systems and Diversified Industrial Segments. The effect of currency exchange rate changes increased net sales during the first six months of fiscal 2026 by approximately $117 million. The impact of divestiture activity decreased net sales by approximately $146 million during the first six months of fiscal 2026. The impact of the acquisition of Curtis increased net sales by approximately $85 million during the first six months of fiscal 2026.
Gross profit margin (calculated as net sales minus cost of sales, divided by net sales) increased in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 due to higher margins in both segments primarily due to favorable product mix, cost containment initiatives and benefits from prior-year business realignment activities.
Cost of sales also included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $9 million and $12 million for the current and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $18 million and $17 million for the first six months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 primarily due to higher acquisition-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, research and development expenses, and intangible asset amortization.
SG&A also included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $5 million and $16 million for the current and prior-year quarter, respectively, and $17 million and $26 million for the first six months of fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Interest expense increased during the current-year quarter primarily due to higher average debt outstanding, and decreased in the first six months of fiscal 2026 primarily due to lower average debt outstanding and lower average interest rates.

Effective tax rate for the current-year quarter of fiscal 2026 was less than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21 percent due to tax benefits from share-based compensation, U.S. Federal tax credits, and foreign-derived intangible income, which were partially offset by taxes related to international activities and U.S. state and local taxes.
The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2026 was greater than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21 percent due to taxes related to international activities and U.S. state and local taxes, which were partially offset by tax benefits from share-based compensation and foreign-derived intangible income.
The effective tax rate for the comparable prior-year periods was lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21 percent due to tax benefits from share-based compensation, lower taxable gain on divestitures than gain under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and foreign-derived intangible income, which were partially offset by U.S. state and local taxes and taxes related to international activities.
The fiscal 2026 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 22 percent.

Net Sales
Diversified Industrial Segment sales increased $215 million and $202 million from the prior-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively. The effect of the Curtis acquisition increased sales by approximately $74 million and $85 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates increased sales by approximately $69 million and $93 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively. The impact of divestiture activity decreased sales by approximately $38 million and $146 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively. Excluding the effects of the acquisition, changes in currency exchange rates and divestiture activity, sales increased $110 million and $170 million from the prior-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively.
North America businesses - Sales increased $58 million from the prior-year quarter and remained flat when compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025. The effect of the Curtis acquisition increased sales by approximately $41 million and $47 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively. The effects of divestiture activity decreased sales by approximately $38 million and $146 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates increased sales by approximately $7 million in both the current-year fiscal quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively. Excluding the effects of the Curtis acquisition, divestiture activity and changes in currency exchange rates, sales in the North America businesses increased $48 million and $94 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively. In the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, the increase in sales is primarily due to higher demand from end users in the in-plant and industrial equipment, aerospace and defense, HVAC and refrigeration and off-highway markets, partially offset by lower demand from end users in the transportation and energy markets.
International businesses - Sales increased $157 million and $200 million from the prior-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, respectively. The effect of the Curtis acquisition increased sales by approximately $33 million and $38 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively. The effect of changes in currency exchange rates increased sales by approximately $62 million and $86 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively. Excluding the effects of the Curtis acquisition and changes in currency exchange rates, sales in the International businesses increased $62 million and $76 million in the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026, respectively, primarily due to higher sales in the Asia Pacific region, where we experienced higher demand within the electronics and semiconductor and in-plant and industrial equipment markets, partially offset by lower demand from end users in the transportation market. During the current-year quarter, sales also increased due to higher sales in Europe, primarily due to higher demand across the in-plant and industrial equipment and transportation and off-highway markets.
Operating Margin
Diversified Industrial Segment operating margin increased during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 in both the North America and International businesses primarily due to favorable product mix, price increases, and benefits from prior-year business realignment activities, partially offset by an increase in material costs.
Business Realignment and Acquisition Integration Charges
The following business realignment and acquisition integration charges are included in the Diversified Industrial Segment operating income:
| Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| December 31, | December 31, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (dollars in millions) | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| International businesses | 10 | 14 | 24 | 20 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diversified Industrial Segment | $ | 17 | $ | 20 | $ | 33 | $ | 30 |
In both periods, business realignment and acquisition integration charges primarily related to business realignment activities. The business realignment charges primarily consist of severance costs related to actions taken under our simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures. Business realignment charges within the International businesses were primarily incurred in Europe.
We anticipate that cost savings realized from the workforce reduction measures taken in the first six months of fiscal 2026 will not materially impact operating income in fiscal 2026 and will increase operating income by approximately one percent in fiscal 2027. We expect to continue to take actions necessary to appropriately structure the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $40 million of additional business realignment charges in the remainder of fiscal 2026. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.
- 24 -
Backlog
Diversified Industrial Segment backlog, as of December 31, 2025, increased from both the comparable prior-year quarter and the June 30, 2025 balance of $3.7 billion primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in both the North America and International businesses.
Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.

Aerospace Systems Segment operating margin increased during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026 due to higher sales volume, aftermarket profitability, as well as benefits from cost containment initiatives.
Business Realignment and Acquisition Integration Charges
Within the Aerospace Systems Segment, business realignment and acquisition integration charges were immaterial during the current-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2026. During the prior-year quarter and first six months of fiscal 2025, business realignment and acquisition integration charges were $7 million and $12 million, respectively, and primarily related to acquisition integration activities. We do not expect to incur material business realignment or acquisition integration charges for the remainder of fiscal 2026. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.
Backlog
Aerospace Systems Segment backlog as of December 31, 2025, increased from both the comparable prior-year quarter and the June 30, 2025 balance of $7.4 billion, primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in all market segments, especially in the commercial OEM and aftermarket market segments.
Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We believe that we are great generators and deployers of cash. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operations and meet our strategic capital deployment objectives, which include the following:
-
Investing in organic growth and productivity
-
Continuing our record annual dividend increases
-
Strategic acquisitions that strengthen our portfolio
-
Share repurchases, including repurchases under the 10b5-1 share repurchase program
We expect that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, availability under our commercial paper program, and access to capital markets will be sufficient to meet these liquidity needs for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.
At December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling $427 million, of which $371 million was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We intend to repatriate certain foreign earnings, which may result in non-federal U.S. or foreign tax liabilities. All other undistributed foreign earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested.
Cash Flows
A summary of cash flows is as follows:
| Six Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||
| December 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||
| (dollars in millions) | 2025 | 2024 | Change | |||||||||||||||||
| Cash provided by (used in): | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 1,644 | $ | 1,679 | $ | (35) | ||||||||||||||
| Investing activities | (1,146) | 412 | (1,558) | |||||||||||||||||

| Effect of exchange rates | (9) | (13) | 4 | |||||||||||||||||
| Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (40) | $ | (26) | $ | (14) |
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $35 million for the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by higher cash tax payments and increased working capital requirements, specifically within accounts receivable and inventory, which more than offset the higher net income adjusted for non-cash items (including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, deferred income taxes and gains on sale of businesses). We continue to focus on managing inventory and other working capital requirements.
-
Days sales outstanding relating to trade accounts receivable was 49 days at December 31, 2025, 51 days at June 30, 2025 and 48 days at December 31, 2024.
-
Days supply of inventory on hand was 95 days at December 31, 2025, 82 days at June 30, 2025 and 89 days at December 31, 2024.
Net cash (used in) provided by investing activities decreased by $1.6 billion in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to $1.0 billion in cash used for the Curtis acquisition and lower proceeds from sale of businesses in fiscal 2026. Proceeds from sale of businesses in fiscal 2025 included net proceeds of $621 million related to the divestitures of the composites and fuel containment business and the non-core filtration business.
Net cash used in financing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2026 and 2025 were impacted by the following factors:
-
Net commercial paper borrowings of $595 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026 compared to net commercial paper repayments of $515 million in the first six months of fiscal 2025.
-
Principal payments totaling $490 million related to borrowings under a term loan facility in the first six months of fiscal 2025.
-
Aggregate principal payment of $500 million related to the maturity of medium-term notes during fiscal 2025.
-
Repurchases under our share repurchase program amounted to 0.7 million common shares for $550 million during the first six months of fiscal 2026, compared to 0.2 million common shares for $100 million during the first six months of fiscal 2025.

Debt
To fund short-term liquidity needs, we utilize a commercial paper program that is supported by our revolving credit agreement.
In August 2025, we amended our revolving credit agreement to increase the total line of credit to $3.75 billion, and authorized a corresponding increase in the commercial paper program size to $3.75 billion. The revolving credit agreement expires in June 2028; however, we have the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date. Advances from the credit agreement can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. Issuances of commercial paper reduce the amount of credit available under the revolving credit agreement. As of December 31, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit agreement, and commercial paper notes outstanding were $2.4 billion. Taking into account outstanding commercial paper notes, $1.4 billion was available for borrowing under the credit agreement as of December 31, 2025.
On December 10, 2025, we entered into a 364-Day Term Loan Agreement and a Three-Year Term Loan Agreement, which provide for senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facilities in aggregate principal amounts of $5.25 billion and $2.50 billion, respectively. Proceeds from the Filtration Group Credit Facilities, if and when drawn, will be used to finance a portion of the consideration for the Company's proposed acquisition of Filtration Group. The Filtration Group Credit Facilities mature 364 days and three years, respectively, following the date of the initial funding of all or a portion of the applicable delayed draw term loan. As of December 31, 2025, we have not borrowed any funds under the Filtration Group Credit Facilities.
We primarily utilize unsecured medium-term notes and senior notes to meet our financing needs and we expect to continue to borrow funds at reasonable rates over the long term.
Our credit agreements and indentures governing certain debt securities contain various covenants. Violation of these covenants would limit or preclude the use of the credit agreements for future borrowings or could accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings. Based on our rating level at December 31, 2025, the most restrictive financial covenant requires that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity not exceed 0.65 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2025, we are in compliance with all covenants, with a ratio of 0.41 to 1.0. We expect to remain in compliance with all covenants set forth in our credit agreements and indentures.
Our goal is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. The rating agencies periodically update our credit ratings as events occur. At December 31, 2025, the long-term credit ratings assigned to our senior debt securities were as follows:
| Fitch Ratings | A- | |||||||
| Moody's Investors Services, Inc. | A3 | |||||||
| Standard & Poor's | BBB+ |
Refer to the cash flows from financing activities section below and Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Capital Expenditures
We are targeting 2.5 percent of sales for capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2026 and have an annual long-term target of 2.0 percent. We will continue to prioritize capital expenditures related to safety, productivity and strategic investments.
Dividends
We declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.80 per share on October 22, 2025, which was paid on December 5, 2025. Dividends have been paid for 302 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for 69 consecutive fiscal years. Additionally, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.80 per share on January 22, 2026, payable on March 6, 2026.
Share Repurchases
On August 21, 2025, the Board of Directors approved an update to the number of shares available under our previous share repurchase authorization so that the aggregate number of shares available for repurchase as of such date was 20.0 million. There is no limitation on the number of shares that can be repurchased in a year and there is no expiration date for the program. As of December 31, 2025, 19.3 million shares remained available under the repurchase authorization. Refer to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of share repurchases.

Strategic Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions will be considered from time to time to the extent there is a strong strategic fit, while at the same time maintaining our strong financial position. In addition, we will continue to assess our existing businesses and initiate efforts to divest businesses that are not considered to be a good long-term strategic fit for Parker. On September 18, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Curtis, for approximately $1.0 billion, net of cash acquired. On November 11, 2025, we announced that we have agreed to acquire Filtration Group from Madison Industries for approximately $9.25 billion in cash. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, and is expected to close six to 12 months from the announcement date. We expect to fund the transaction with a combination of new debt and cash. Refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Supply Chain Financing
We continue to identify opportunities to improve our liquidity and working capital efficiency, which include the extension of payment terms with our suppliers. We have supply chain financing programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain suppliers the option to be paid by the financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. We do not believe that changes in the availability of supply chain financing will have a significant impact on our liquidity. Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A substantial portion of our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Most of our non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Foreign currency exposures arise from the translation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. We continue to manage the associated foreign currency transaction and translation risk using existing processes.
The Company manages foreign currency transaction and translation risk by utilizing derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through the Consolidated Statements of Income. Derivatives that are designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For cross-currency swap contracts measured using the spot method, the periodic interest settlements are recognized directly in earnings through interest expense. The translation of the foreign currency denominated debt that has been designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated. A 10 percent change in foreign exchange rates related to our forward exchange contracts as of December 31, 2025 would affect earnings by approximately $125 million. A majority of the impact would be offset by changes in value from the remeasurement of the underlying items being hedged. Collectively, the forward exchange contracts and their associated hedged items do not create material market risk.
The Company’s debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, consisting of commercial paper, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. Our objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting our exposure to changes in near-term interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt, consisting of commercial paper borrowings for the six months ended December 31, 2025, by approximately $24 million.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
The Company acquired Curtis on September 18, 2025. As a result of the acquisition, management is in the process of integrating, evaluating and, where necessary, implementing changes in controls and procedures. Other than with respect to the acquisition, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
