Item 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Trane Technologies plc, a public limited company, incorporated in Ireland in 2009, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively we, us, our, the Company) is a global climate innovator. We bring sustainable and efficient solutions to buildings, homes and transportation through our strategic brands, Trane® and Thermo King®, and our environmentally responsible portfolio of products, services and connected intelligent controls. We generate revenue and cash primarily through the design, manufacture, sales and service of solutions for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), transport refrigeration, and custom refrigeration solutions. As an industry leader with an extensive global install base, our growth strategy includes expanding recurring revenue through services and rental options. Our unique business operating system, uplifting culture and highly engaged team around the world are also central to our earnings and cash flow growth.

Through our sustainability-focused strategy and purpose to boldly challenge what’s possible for a sustainable world, we meet critical needs and growing global demand for innovation that reduces greenhouse gas emissions while enabling healthier, efficient indoor environments and safe, reliable delivery of essential temperature-controlled cargo. We have announced certain defined sustainability commitments with a goal of achieving these commitments by 2030 (2030 Sustainability Commitments). Trane Technologies’ bold 2030 Sustainability Commitments have been verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and include our ‘Gigaton Challenge’ to reduce customer greenhouse gas emissions by a billion metric tons, ‘Leading by Example’ through carbon-neutral operations across our own footprint, and ‘Opportunity for All’ by building a diverse workforce reflective of our communities.

Competitive Conditions

Our products and services are sold in highly competitive markets throughout the world. Due to the diversity of these products and services and the variety of markets served, we encounter a wide variety of competitors that vary by product line and services. They include well-established regional or specialized competitors, as well as larger U.S. and non-U.S. corporations or divisions of larger companies.

The principal methods of competition in these markets relate to price, quality, delivery, service and support, technology and innovation. We are one of the leading manufacturers in the world of HVAC systems and services and transport temperature control products and services.

Distribution

Our products are distributed by a number of methods, which we believe are appropriate to the type of product. U.S. sales are made through branch sales offices, distributors and dealers across the country. Non-U.S. sales are made through numerous subsidiary sales and service companies with a supporting chain of distributors throughout the world.

Operations by Geographic Area

Approximately 28% of our net revenues in 2023 were derived outside the U.S. and we sold products in approximately 100 countries. Therefore, the attendant risks of manufacturing or selling in a particular country, such as currency devaluation, nationalization and establishment of common markets, may have an adverse impact on our non-U.S. operations.

Customers

We have no customer that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net revenues in 2023, 2022 or 2021. No material part of our business is dependent upon a single customer or a small group of customers; therefore, the loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows.

Materials

We both manufacture and procure many of the components included in our products. For components we manufacture, we are required to source a wide variety of commodities such as steel, copper, and aluminum. These principal commodities are purchased from a large number of independent sources around the world, primarily within the region where the products are manufactured. We believe that available sources of supply will generally be sufficient for the foreseeable future.

For many components we procure, we have an effective supply chain resiliency plan and multiple capable sources to ensure sufficient supply, however there are certain categories of components that could occasionally see limited availability or shortages in line with industry trends.

Seasonality

Demand for certain products and services is influenced by weather conditions. For instance, sales in our commercial and residential HVAC businesses historically tend to be higher in the second and third quarters of the year because this represents spring and summer in the U.S. and other northern hemisphere markets, which are the peak seasons for sales of air conditioning systems and services. Therefore, results of any quarterly period may not be indicative of expected results for a full year and unusual weather patterns or events could positively or negatively affect certain segments of our business and impact overall results of operations.

Research and Development

We engage in research and development activities in an effort to introduce new products, enhance existing product effectiveness, improve ease of use and reliability as well as expand the various applications for which our products may be appropriate. In 2023, we spent $252.3 million on research and development, focused on product and system sustainability improvements such as increasing energy efficiency, developing products that allow for use of lower global warming potential refrigerants, reducing material content in products, and designing products for circularity. New product development (NPD) programs complete a Design for Sustainability module within our NPD process to ensure that programs have a positive impact on sustainability.

We also have a strong focus on sustaining activities, which include costs incurred to reduce production costs, improve existing products, create custom solutions for customers and provide support to our manufacturing facilities. We anticipate that we will continue to make significant expenditures for research and development and sustaining activities as we look to maintain and improve our competitive position.

Patents and Licenses

Our intellectual property rights are important to our business and include numerous patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, proprietary technology, technical data, business processes, and other confidential information. Although in the aggregate we consider our intellectual property rights to be valuable to our operations, we do not believe that our business is materially dependent on a single intellectual property right or any group of them. In our opinion, engineering, production skills and experience are more responsible for our market position than our intellectual property rights.

Backlog

Our backlog of orders, believed to be firm, at December 31, was as follows:

In millions20232022
Americas$5,302.9$5,325.2
EMEA614.9616.1
Asia Pacific1,012.7941.8
Total$6,930.5$6,883.1

These backlog figures are based on orders received and only include amounts associated with our equipment and contracting and installation performance obligations. A major portion of our residential products are built in advance of order and either shipped or assembled from stock. We expect to ship a majority of the December 31, 2023 backlog during 2024. However, orders for specialized machinery or specific customer applications are submitted with extended lead times and are subject to revision and deferral, and to a lesser extent cancellation or termination. To the extent projects are delayed or there are resource constraints, the timing of our revenue could be affected.

Environmental Matters

We continue to be dedicated to environmental and sustainability programs to minimize the use of natural resources, reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials from our manufacturing processes and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, we are currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.

It is our policy to establish environmental reserves for investigation and remediation activities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. Estimated liabilities are determined based upon existing remediation laws and technologies. Inherent uncertainties exist in such evaluations due to unknown environmental conditions, changes in government laws and regulations, and changes in cleanup technologies. The environmental reserves are updated on a routine basis as remediation efforts progress and new information becomes available.

We are sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and have received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state and international authorities. We have also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. In most instances at multi-party sites, our share of the liability is not material.

In estimating our liability at multi-party sites, we have assumed that we will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based on our understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis.

For a further discussion of our potential environmental liabilities, see Note 20 "Commitments and Contingencies" to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Asbestos-Related Matters

We are involved in a number of asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings. In June 2020, our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries Aldrich Pump LLC (Aldrich) and Murray Boiler LLC (Murray) each filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina in Charlotte (the Bankruptcy Court). As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, all asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich and Murray have been stayed due to the imposition of a statutory automatic stay applicable in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. Only Aldrich and Murray have filed for Chapter 11 relief. Neither Aldrich's wholly-owned subsidiary, 200 Park, Inc. (200 Park), Murray's wholly-owned subsidiary, ClimateLabs LLC (ClimateLabs), Trane Technologies plc nor its other subsidiaries (the Trane Companies) are part of the Chapter 11 filings. In addition, at the request of Aldrich and Murray, the Bankruptcy Court has entered an order temporarily staying all asbestos-related claims against the Trane Companies that relate to claims against Aldrich or Murray (except for asbestos-related claims for which the exclusive remedy is provided under workers' compensation statutes or similar laws).

The goal of these Chapter 11 filings is to resolve equitably and permanently all current and future asbestos-related claims in a manner beneficial to claimants, Aldrich and Murray through court approval of a plan of reorganization that would create a trust pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, establish claims resolution procedures for all current and future asbestos-related claims against Aldrich and Murray and channel such claims to the trust for resolution in accordance with those procedures.

For detailed information on the bankruptcy cases of Aldrich and Murray, see:

  • Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Litigation,"

  • Part I, Item 3, "Legal Proceedings,"

  • Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Significant Events," and

  • Part II, Item 8, Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1, "Description of Company," and Note 20, "Commitments and Contingencies."

Human Capital Management

Our people and culture are critical to achieving our operational, financial and strategic success.

As of December 31, 2023, we employed approximately 40,000 people in approximately 60 countries including over 15,000 outside of the United States. As of December 31, 2023, 25.9% of our global employees were women and 37.2% of our employees in the United States were racially and ethnically diverse. In 2023, 30.9% of our new hires globally were women and 53.0% of new hires in the United States were racially and ethnically diverse. Approximately 25.2% of leadership and management positions were held by women as of December 31, 2023. The diversity percentages included in this section exclude current year business acquisitions.

As a result of maintaining a consistent focus on an uplifting culture, our key talent (employees with the highest potential rating) retention rate excluding retirements in 2023 was 96.4%. Our company‑wide (all employees) voluntary retention rate excluding retirements was 90.4%.

Culture and Purpose

In 2023, we continued to drive our purpose to boldly challenge what’s possible for a sustainable world through our strategic priorities and 2030 Sustainability Commitments. We use our Leadership Principles to guide our actions each day and enable our uplifting, engaging and inclusive culture. As part of our commitment to people and culture, we strive to create a work environment where our people uplift each other, make a positive impact on the planet and thrive at work and at home.

Since 2006, our annual employee engagement survey has enabled employees to share their experiences and perceptions of our Company. Employees provide ratings and written comments for continuous improvement. In 2023, 87% of our workforce participated in our annual engagement survey, and our overall employee engagement score remains high. While our work on culture is never done, these scores indicate that we’re continuing to raise the bar to increase pride, energy and optimism across the company and create the best employee experience.

Diversity and Inclusion

Our commitment to Diversity and Inclusion is core to our purpose and our 2030 Sustainability Commitments. We are proud members of Paradigm for Parity (a coalition of more than 100 corporations who have committed to closing the gender gap in corporate leadership) and OneTen (a coalition dedicated to closing the opportunity gap for Black talent and others in America). In addition, we are a 2017 signatory to the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion pledge (the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion within the workplace).

We offer company-sponsored forums to promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace including:

  • CEO Day of Understanding – a forum created to allow our employees and leaders to speak about their personal experiences and commitment to becoming allies and change agents. The spirit of this conversation is extended throughout our Diversity and Inclusion programming.

  • Employee Resources Groups (ERGs) – we sponsor eight ERGs (the Women's Employee Network, the Black Employee Network, the Veterans ERG, the Asian ERG, the Global Organization of Latinos, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Allies (LGBTQ+ Pride) ERG, the InterGenerational Employee Network, and VisAbility). All ERGs are voluntary, open and inclusive organizations that offer employees a sense of belonging, networking and learning opportunities.

  • In 2023, the Inclusive Leader Learning Experience was promoted to people leaders detailing three stages of inclusive leadership: Becoming Aware, Becoming an Ally and Upstander, and Becoming a Change Agent. Our focus this year was on allyship, which was required for all global, salaried people leaders. In addition, we also launched a diversity, equity, and inclusion course through our compliance training for our North America salaried population.

  • In 2023, the Global Diversity & Inclusion summit continued its focus on development of the inclusive leader behaviors; highlighting our focus this year of allyship.

Additionally, our corporate citizenship strategy, Sustainable Futures, which was launched in 2021, aims at providing access to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and career opportunities specifically for people under-represented in our industry, including ethnic minorities and women. This strategy supports our efforts to create opportunity for all by providing underrepresented students with a range of resources, from classroom curriculum that introduces them to careers at a climate innovation company, to soft-skill development for landing a STEM job.

Learning and Development

We offer learning and career development opportunities that enhance our employees’ skills and abilities and ensure contemporary technical and functional skills and competencies such as innovation, collaboration and leadership. Examples of these programs include:

  • Team Leader Development Program – A seven-week experiential development program that engages, teaches and empowers front-line plant leaders to apply continuous improvement methods, make sound business decisions, solve problems, and serve as a coach to their teams.

  • Graduate Training Program (GTP) – A five-month development program designed to prepare university graduate engineers for a rewarding career in technical sales. The program prepares sales engineers to sell Trane’s complex HVAC systems and energy services. The program, started in 1926, is recognized as the industry’s most comprehensive training program and provides intensive technical, business, sales, and leadership training.

  • Accelerated Development Program (ADP) – An early career rotational program focused on both functional and leadership development, designed to build a pipeline of strong talent for key roles in the organization. Participants rotate to multiple geographic locations and business units during the 2.5-year program, while completing diverse assignments, and receiving dedicated functional training and developmental experiences.

  • Leadership Development - We invest in custom, key transition leadership development programs for our high potential talent. We partner with best-in-class external leadership development experts such as INSEAD, Center for Creative Leadership, and the NeuroLeadership Institute to deliver these programs globally each year. Additionally, we offer our Trane Technologies people leaders learning programs to develop their skills in leading their teams, such as building diverse and inclusive teams, increasing engagement, and coaching skills.

  • Professional development – We have numerous online courses in professional development skills as varied as working virtually, resiliency, Microsoft Teams, unconscious bias, and strategic capability initiatives such as product management and other programs that support our strategy of being a world class lean enterprise.

  • Dependent Scholarships - To support learning in our employees' families, we offer $2,500 scholarships to support their dependent children's pursuits beyond high school, whether for a traditional degree, or a trade certification.

  • Compliance Training – Our Compliance Training curriculum covers key topics that are important to protect our Company, our people and our customers. Topics include certification in our Code of Conduct, Information Security, Understanding and Preventing Workplace Harassment and Expense Management. All salaried employees globally complete our annual compliance curriculum.

  • Women’s Leadership Development Programs

  • The Women in Action Leadership Program is a virtual, self-paced cohort program that provides women with access to content that promotes their leadership development skills.

  • The Women on the Rise (WOR) program is designed over eight-weeks to help empower, develop, connect and support emerging women leaders.

  • The Women’s Leadership Program (WLP) is a cohort program for high potential talent that provides an opportunity to network with other senior women leaders, gain individual insights through an executive mentoring partnership and build leadership skills and confidence through a variety of learning components, speakers, experiences and assessments.

Employee Volunteerism

In 2023, our employees continued to participate in a variety of volunteer activities. Our global teams made meaningful contributions to their local communities through the Trane Technologies Foundation’s existing non-profit relationships, as well as through business and personal affiliations. In Charlotte, NC, some of our Trane Commercial technicians spent days volunteering in the Urban League’s HVAC training class to help equip future technicians with first-hand insights that will get them off to a strong start on their future jobs. In Minneapolis, MN, employees used sustainability lesson plans we developed to teach middle-schoolers about concepts like food loss, green buildings, decarbonization and supply chain logistics to lead thought-provoking in-class lessons. Employees in China took a two-day trek into extremely rural Guizhou province to spend a day introducing STEM educational concepts to under-resourced classrooms. And in Monterrey, MX, teams upfitted a local school with new equipment, paint, and furnishing for their first information technology (IT) lab.

Behind these and other local efforts is a network of 55 Purple Teams comprised of more than 100 local champions who cultivate the spirit of volunteerism and ensure alignment with our strategy. These colleagues span each of our businesses and all of the markets where we operate, providing local guidance and inspiration to drive meaningful engagement with communities around the world.

Employee Well-being

Trane Technologies believes employees that can thrive at work, at home and in their communities are our greatest asset. We integrate well-being into our culture through core global resources that support physical, social, emotional, and financial well-being. Several elements of our holistic well-being actions include:

  • Giving 100% of our team members access to company-sponsored wellness offerings, including a global Employee Assistance Program and a global wellness platform covering an array of topics like mindfulness, resiliency, and nutrition.

  • Offering financial relief through the Helping Hand program, an employee funded program created to help associates facing financial hardship immediately after a qualified disaster or an unforeseen personal hardship.

  • Providing flex time and flex place policies and resources as well as supporting flexible work arrangements, and other approaches to support evolving employee needs.

We recognize the pervasiveness of mental health challenges facing employees and their families. We continue efforts to overcome mental health stigmas and promote a culture that encourages and supports open discussion about mental health issues. We implemented a global mental health training program targeted towards people leaders and available to all employees. This program highlights how to recognize and react to mental health concerns and leverage support resources.

Our enterprise Mental Well-Being Hub provides streamlined access to mental health resources and guidance for supporting others. It also leverages our global Employee Assistance Program to provide frequent communications targeted to concerns such as mental health, stress & burnout, relationships, childcare and education.

Competitive Pay and Benefits

Trane Technologies’ compensation programs and policies are designed to align the compensation of our employees with the Company’s performance and strategy: to attract and retain a talented workforce and to meet the needs of employees globally. We are committed to providing competitive and equitable wages and benefits that will allow our employees to thrive at work and at home. In addition, the structure of our compensation programs balance incentive earnings for both long-term and short-term performance with our annual incentive plan closely tied to our 2030 sustainability commitments, which includes environmental sustainability and diversity and inclusion efforts, in addition to financial goals.

Trane Technologies’ benefit programs and policies are designed to support the well-being of employees and their families. Purpose-driven and locally relevant benefit programs are provided globally. In addition to core and competitive medical, welfare and retirement programs, we offer programs to support work-life balance and deliver benefits access and opportunity to all. Key actions taken in 2023 illustrate this commitment, including:

  • Introduction of fertility treatment benefits and extension of coverage to domestic partners and their qualified dependents within the Company-sponsored U.S. medical and other benefit plans;

  • Enhanced family support programs through expanded adoption and surrogacy benefit support as well as inclusive child and elder back-up care programs; and

  • Introduction of Roth and student debt support features in 401(k) plans to support meaningful retirement saving and overall financial wellbeing.

Our proxy statement provides more detail on the competitive compensation and benefit programs we offer.

Employee Safety

In 2023, we continued our multi-year, world class safety record with a Lost-time Incident Rate of 0.09 and Recordable Rate below 0.81. We continue to revise and update our safety programs in response to the most meaningful and impactful activities for all global employees. In 2023, this included a global campaign on hand safety which reduced our overall hand injuries within our manufacturing locations and field operations.

We also continue to maintain all our locations globally as tobacco free workplaces.
