The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as updated by any disclosures under Part II, Item 1A - Risk Factors in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The following section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information, including our financial statements and the notes thereto, which appears elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

Organizational

Trane Technologies plc 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.

2030 Sustainability Commitments

Our commitment to sustainability extends to the environmental and social impacts of our people, operations, products and services. We continue to progress our ambitious 2030 Sustainability Commitments, including our Gigaton Challenge to reduce customers' carbon emissions by a billion metric tons through sustainable products and services. We are also Leading by Example as we work toward carbon-neutral operations, zero waste-to-landfill and net positive water use in water-stressed locations. We also committed to reducing embodied carbon in our products by 40%, while also designing products for circularity. Our 2030 emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and we are one of very few companies worldwide with validated 2050 net-zero targets. Finally, our Opportunity for All commitment focuses on investing in our people and our uplifting and inclusive culture, and broadening access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education and careers in our communities.

Recent Acquisitions

On January 2, 2025, we completed the acquisition of BrainBox AI Inc., a building management platform for HVAC optimization, using advanced artificial intelligence technologies. The results of the acquisition are reported within the Americas segment and are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.

In the first half of 2025, we also acquired multiple distributors with sales and service businesses in Europe that are reported in the EMEA segment from the dates of acquisition.

Significant Matters

Reorganization of Aldrich and Murray

See the discussion in Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Trends and Economic Events

We are a global corporation with worldwide operations. As a global business, our operations are affected by worldwide, regional and industry-specific economic factors as well as geopolitical, environmental and social factors wherever we operate or do business. Our geographic diversity and the breadth of our products and services portfolios have helped mitigate the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results.

Given our broad range of products manufactured and geographic markets served, management uses a variety of factors to predict the outlook for the Company. We monitor key competitors and customers in order to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future. We regularly perform detailed evaluations of the different market segments we serve to proactively detect trends and to adapt our strategies accordingly, including potential triggers and actions to be taken under recessionary and other macroeconomic scenarios. In addition, we believe our backlog and order levels are indicative of future revenue and thus are a key measure of anticipated performance.

Conditions remain mixed across our served end markets and geographies. Overall Commercial HVAC markets in Americas and EMEA remain strong due to demand for our differentiated customer driven solutions and the benefits of installing energy efficient products and decarbonizing the built environment. In Asia, markets remain dynamic, with weak macro-economic conditions driving soft demand in China balanced by stronger demand in the rest of Asia. Transport refrigeration markets continue to experience soft demand, particularly in the United States. Residential markets in the United States continue to progress through the regulatory transition, while uncertainties remain from economic risks and higher interest rates.

Our performance may be impacted by future developments that are uncertain. Geopolitical risks and macroeconomic developments, including changes in global trade policies, tariffs and other measures could cause disruptions to operations, supply chains, end markets, financial markets and overall economic conditions which could negatively impact our business.

We continue to monitor macroeconomic indicators and uncertainties resulting from the tariffs recently announced and implemented by the United States, as well as the tariffs imposed by other countries in response. These global trade policy changes continue to be dynamic, and as a result, we may experience supply chain challenges, commodity cost volatility, and consumer and economic uncertainty. We believe our business operating system, our in-region for region strategy, and strength in execution will enable us to navigate potential risks stemming from these recent events.

We believe we have a solid foundation of global brands that are highly differentiated in all of our major product lines. Our geographic mix, our diverse portfolio, and our large installed product base, provide growth opportunities from replacement demand and within our service revenue streams. Additionally, we are investing substantial resources to innovate and develop new products and services which we expect to drive future growth.

Results of Operations

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Organic Revenue

We define organic revenue as net revenues adjusted for the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures. Organic revenue is not defined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for revenue as determined in accordance with GAAP. Selected references are made to revenue growth on an organic basis so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impacts of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and acquisitions, thereby providing comparisons of operating performance from period to period of the business that we have owned during both periods presented. We believe organic revenue growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our revenues in both periods presented.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA

We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, non-cash adjustments for contingent consideration, merger and acquisition-related costs, unallocated corporate expenses, discontinued operations and other non-recurring items. Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and ratios based on it, are used in the development of annual operating plans, including capital expenditure and operational budgets, and in measuring performance against targets for purposes of incentive compensation. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also provides a useful tool for assessing the operating performance and comparability between periods and our ability to generate cash because it ex

For a discussion of the Company's exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of June 30, 2025, that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported when required and the information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2025 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 – Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, we are involved in a variety of lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings, including those related to the bankruptcy proceedings for Aldrich and Murray, commercial and contract disputes, employment matters, product liability and product defect claims, asbestos-related claims, environmental liabilities, intellectual property disputes, and tax-related matters. In our opinion, pending legal matters are not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.

The most significant litigation facing the Company is the asbestos-related bankruptcy cases of Aldrich and Murray. For detailed information on the bankruptcy cases of Aldrich and Murray, see Part I, Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

The statutes of limitation relating to tax review of our Reverse Morris Trust transaction have expired. As a result, the three risk factors listed below in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024, under the heading "Risks Related to our Reverse Morris Trust Transaction" in Item 1A. "Risk Factors," are no longer material risks to the Company:

• If the Distribution as part of our Reverse Morris Trust Transaction is determined to be taxable for Irish tax purposes, significant Irish tax liabilities may arise for the Spin-off Shareholders.

• If the Distribution together with certain related transactions do not qualify as tax-free under Section 355 and 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, including as a result of subsequent acquisitions of stock of the Company or Ingersoll Rand, then the Company and the Spin-off Shareholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes, and Ingersoll Rand may be obligated to indemnify the Company for such taxes imposed on the Company.

• If the merger does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, the Spin-off Shareholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes.

Except as described above, there have been no material changes to our risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024. For further discussion of our risk factors, refer to Item 1A. "Risk Factors" contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2024.

Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table provides information with respect to purchases of our ordinary shares during the second quarter of 2025:

(a) Share repurchases are made from time to time in accordance with management's capital allocation strategy, subject to market conditions and regulatory requirements. Repurchases occur in the open market or through one or more other public or private transactions pursuant to plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. In February 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of our ordinary shares (2022 Authorization) and in December 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $5.0 billion of our ordinary shares (2024 Authorization) upon the completion of the 2022 Authorization. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased approximately $402.0 million of our ordinary shares, consistent with our capital allocation strategy, leaving $0.4 billion remaining under the 2022 Authorization and $5.0 billion remaining under the 2024 Authorization.

(b) We may also reacquire shares outside of the repurchase program from time to time in connection with the surrender of shares to cover taxes on vesting of share-based awards. We reacquired 1,445 shares in April, 156 shares in May, and 2,601 shares in June in transactions outside of the repurchase programs.
