Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Vertiv Holdings Co (“Holdings Co”, and together with its majority-owned subsidiaries, “Vertiv”, “we”, “our”, or “the Company”), formerly known as GS Acquisition Holdings Corp (“GSAH”), provides mission-critical digital infrastructure technologies and life cycle services primarily for data centers, communication networks, and commercial and industrial environments. Vertiv’s offerings include AC and DC power management products, switchgear and busbar products, thermal management products, integrated rack systems, modular solutions, management systems for monitoring and controlling digital infrastructure, and service. Vertiv manages and reports results of operations for three business segments: Americas; Asia Pacific; and Europe, Middle East & Africa.

(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States ("U.S.") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling interest. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. In management’s opinion, these financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The presentation of certain prior period amounts have been reclassed to conform with current year presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year due to, among other reasons, the continued uncertainty of general economic conditions that have impacted, and may continue to impact, the Company's sales channels, supply chain, manufacturing operations, workforce, or other key aspects of the Company’s operations.

The notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025.

This ASU provides amendments that require entities to annually disclose specific rate reconciliation categories, additional details for significant reconciling items exceeding 5%, and comprehensive breakdowns of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendments are effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

The amendments are effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

ABL Revolving Credit Facility

At June 30, 2025, Vertiv Group Corporation (the "Borrower"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain subsidiaries of the Borrower (the “Co-Borrowers”), had $783.0 of availability under the Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility, due 2029 (the “ABL Revolving Credit Facility”) (subject to customary conditions, and subject to separate sublimits for letters of credit, swingline borrowings and borrowings made to certain non-U.S. Co-Borrowers), net of letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $17.0, and taking into account the borrowing base limitations set forth in the ABL Revolving Credit Facility. At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was no outstanding balance on the ABL Revolving Credit Facility.

(6) INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 23.0%, 28.8%, 32.7% and 31.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate in three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily influenced by discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation. The effective tax rate in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily influenced by the negative impact of a valuation allowance established to account for legislative changes effective in the first quarter of 2025 partially offset by discrete tax benefits related to changes in deferred tax liabilities and stock compensation. The effective rate for the comparative three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily influenced by the negative impacts of non-deductible changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities, and discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation activity in the respective periods.

The Company provided U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on all temporary differences attributed to basis differences in foreign subsidiaries that are not considered indefinitely reinvested. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has certain earnings of certain foreign affiliates that continue to be indefinitely reinvested, but it was not practicable to estimate the associated deferred tax liability, due to interaction with other tax laws and regulations in the year of inclusion.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, the Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. These tiers include the following:

Level 1 — inputs include observable unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 — inputs include other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable

Level 3 — inputs include unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation techniques and prioritizes the use of observable inputs. The availability of observable inputs varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded, and other characteristics particular to the instrument. For many financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely

accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management judgment. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the marketplace and may require management judgment.

Recurring fair value measurements

A summary of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Interest rate swaps — From time to time the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments designed to hedge the variability in interest expense on floating rate debt. Derivatives are recognized as assets or liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value. When the derivative instrument qualifies as a cash flow hedge changes in the fair value are deferred through other comprehensive income depending on the effectiveness of the instrument.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk of the Company’s total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. At both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges effectively swapped a notional amount of $1,000.0 of SOFR-based floating rate debt for fixed rate debt. The Company’s interest rate swaps mature in March 2027. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024 the Company recognized $8.2, $16.5, $10.7, and $21.4 respectively, within “Interest expense, net” on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). At June 30, 2025, the Company expects approximately $27.9 of pre-tax net gains on cash flow hedges will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the next twelve months.

The interest rate swaps are valued using the SOFR yield curves at the reporting date and are classified in Level 2. Counterparties to these contracts are highly rated financial institutions. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps are adjusted for nonperformance risk and creditworthiness of the counterparty through the Company’s credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”). The CVA is calculated at the counterparty level utilizing the fair value exposure at each payment date and applying a weighted probability of the appropriate survival and marginal default percentages.

Foreign currency exchange forwards - The Company may enter into derivative financial instruments designed to hedge the exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivatives are recognized as assets or liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value. The duration of the derivatives are generally less than one year. The Company values foreign currency exchange swaps using broker quotations or market transactions on the listed or over-the-counter market; as such, these derivative instruments are classified in Level 2. When the derivative instrument qualifies as a cash flow hedge changes in the fair value are deferred through other comprehensive income depending on the effectiveness of the instrument. The Company reclassifies the gain or loss associated with the cash flow hedges into earnings when the underlying exposure is recognized. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had derivative instruments which hedge our exposure to certain foreign currency exchange rates with a notional amount of $113.6 and $129.0, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 there were $1.2 and $5.9 in realized losses associated with the foreign currency exchange swaps within "Cost of sales - products" on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 there was $0.6 realized gain associated with the foreign currency exchange swaps.

Economic hedges - At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 we had derivative instruments which hedge our purchases of aluminum at 8,700.0 and 10,730.0 metric tons, respectively, and copper with notional amounts of 7,190.0 and 7,330.0 metric tons, respectively. The Company values these instruments using broker quotations, market transactions or option pricing model based on observable market inputs, as such, these derivative instruments are classified in Level 2. These derivative instruments were treated as economic hedges and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 the Company recognized mark-to-market losses of $8.2 and $7.8, and gains of $3.8 and $3.1, respectively, within "Other operating expense (income)" on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss).

Private warrants — On December 6, 2024, Cote SPAC I LLC exercised its remaining 5,266,667 warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the agreement governing the warrants, in exchange for which the Company issued 4,812,521 shares of Class A common stock. Prior to exercise, the fair value of the private warrants were considered a Level 2 valuation and were determined using the Black-Sholes-Merton valuation model. The Company recognized a loss of $25.4 and $202.0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, in "Change in the fair value of warrant liabilities" on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss) associated with the mark-to-market adjustment on the 5,266,667 previously outstanding private warrants. As of June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding private warrants.

Net investment hedge — From time to time the Company designates certain intercompany debt to hedge a portion of its investment in foreign subsidiaries and affiliates. The net impact of translation adjustments from these hedges was $(0.8), $(0.9), $1.9, and $5.3 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and is included in “Foreign currency translation” in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $46.5 and $24.0, respectively, of the Company’s intercompany debt was designated to hedge investments in certain foreign subsidiaries and affiliates.

Other fair value measurements

The Company determines the fair value of debt using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices. The following table presents the estimated fair value and carrying value of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(1)See “Note 5 — Debt” for additional information.

Marketable securities — The Company classifies marketable securities with maturities in excess of three months and less than one year at acquisition as held-to-maturity. These investments primarily consist of U.S. Treasury bills. The Company does not purchase and hold securities principally for the purpose of selling them in the near future, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. At June 30, 2025, the Company recorded "Short-term investments" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost of $98.2. The Company values these investments by reference to quoted prices of similar assets in active markets, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset, which are classified within level 2. At June 30, 2025, the short-term investments had a fair value of $98.1. The Company held no short-term investments at December 31, 2024.

(11) EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) adjusted for the gain on fair value of warrant liability, if the warrants are in-the-money and the impact is dilutive, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding related to potentially dilutive equity-based compensation and warrants.

The details of the earnings per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

(In millions, except share and per share amounts)Three months ended June 30, 2025Three months ended June 30, 2024Six months ended June 30, 2025Six months ended June 30, 2024

Earnings (loss) per share
Basic$0.85$0.48$1.28$0.46
Diluted$0.83$0.46$1.25$0.44

The dilutive effect of equity-based compensation awards was 8.4 million and 8.8 million shares, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Additional equity-based compensation awards of 1.8 million and 1.1 million shares were also outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

The dilutive effect of equity-based compensation awards was 9.8 million and 10.1 million shares, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Additional equity-based compensation awards and warrants were also outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. Such anti-dilutive equity-based compensation awards and warrants represented 1.4 million and 4.6 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and 1.0 million and 4.5 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

(12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to a number of pending legal proceedings and claims, including those involving general and product liability and other matters. The Company accrues for such liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are based on developments to date; management’s estimates of the outcomes of these matters; the Company’s experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters; and any related insurance coverage. While the Company believes that a material adverse impact is unlikely, given the inherent uncertainty of litigation, a future development in these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company. The Company is unable to estimate any additional loss or range of loss that may result from the ultimate resolution of these matters, other than those described below.

On May 3, 2022, a putative securities class action, In re Vertiv Holdings Co Securities Litigation, 22-cv-3572, was filed against Vertiv, certain of the Company’s officers and directors, and other defendants in the Southern District of New York. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on September 16, 2022. The amended complaint alleges that certain of the Company’s public statements were materially false and/or misleading with respect to inflationary and supply chain pressures and pricing issues, and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These claims are asserted on behalf of a putative class of all persons and entities that (i) purchased Vertiv securities between February 24, 2021 and February 22, 2022; and/or (ii) purchased Vertiv securities in or traceable to the November 4, 2021 secondary public offering by a selling stockholder pursuant to a resale registration statement. On January 31, 2024, the Court issued an order dismissing the claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act. The motion to dismiss the claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act remains pending.

On June 9, 2023, two Vertiv shareholders, Matthew Sullivan and Jose Karlo Ocampo Avenido, brought a derivative lawsuit, Sullivan v. Johnson, et al., C.A. No. 2023-0608 (the "Sullivan Action"), against Vertiv (as nominal defendant only) and certain of the Company’s directors and officers in Delaware Court of Chancery for breach of fiduciary duty. Further, on November 19, 2024, another Vertiv shareholder, Laura Hanna, brought a derivative lawsuit, Hanna v. Johnson, et al. (the "Hanna Action"), against Vertiv (as nominal defendant only) and certain of Company’s directors and officers in Delaware Court of Chancery for breach of fiduciary duty. The complaints allege that the named directors and officers caused the Company to issue materially false and/or misleading public statements with respect to inflationary and supply chain pressures and pricing issues, and that the Company suffered damages as a result. The Sullivan Action has been stayed since August 10, 2023 pending the outcome of the motion to dismiss in the securities class action. On February 13, 2025, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an order that (i) consolidated the Sullivan Action and Hanna Action into a single consolidated derivative lawsuit, In re Vertiv Holdings Co Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Consolidated C.A. No. 2023-0608-NAC (the “Consolidated Derivative Action”), (ii) designated the complaint in the Hanna Action as the operative complaint in the Consolidated Derivative Action, and (iii) stayed the Consolidated Derivative Action on terms identical to those of the existing stay of the Sullivan Action.

The Company believes it has meritorious defenses against the allegations made in the aforementioned lawsuits, which are at the preliminary stages. However, the Company is unable at this time to predict the outcome of these matters or the amount of any cost associated with their resolution.

In November 2023, following the filing of the putative securities class action and the Sullivan Action described above, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and a parallel request for documents from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, which relate to the allegations made in those actions. The Company is actively responding to these matters.

In January 2024, the Mexican tax administration service, the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria (the "SAT"), initiated a process to suspend the importer registration of one of the Company's wholly owned Mexico subsidiaries, Tecnología del Pacífico S.A. de C.V. (“TDP”), in connection with a contested customs tax audit for the period April 2016 to February 2018. After further investigation and discussion with SAT, TDP agreed to make payments and fees totaling approximately $10.1 which were paid in the first quarter of 2024. The Company intends to seek reimbursement of this amount as an undue payment from SAT, for which the outcome is currently unknown and no receivable has been established.

The Company is unable at this time to predict the outcome of these matters, including whether any proceedings may be instituted in connection with the government inquiries, or the amount of any cost associated with their resolution, except as noted above.

Bank Guarantees and Bonds

In the ordinary course of business, we are required to commit to bank guarantees and bonds that require payments to our customers for any non-performance. The outstanding face value of these instruments fluctuates with the value of our projects in progress. As of June 30, 2025 the outstanding value of bank guarantees and bonds totaled $166.2.

At, June 30, 2025 other than as described above, there were no known contingent liabilities (including guarantees, taxes and other claims) that management believes were or will be material in relation to the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, nor were there any material commitments outside the normal course of business.

(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 17, 2025, the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement related to the acquisition of the Great Lakes Data Rack and Cabinets family of companies (the "Acquisition"). The closing of the Acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions. The Acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.
