Commentary:

“Our investment in research & development resulted in strong organic sales growth globally, along with a record quarter of adjusted earnings per share. New product launches over the last several years as well as data center construction drove our sales growth, which is an end market that is ideal for our high-performance identification solutions,” said Brady’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Russell R. Shaller. “Last month, we announced our agreement to acquire Honeywell’s Productivity Solutions and Services business, which we expect to close in the second half of calendar 2026. I’m incredibly excited to execute our plans for growth and expand our portfolio through PSS with high-quality mobility and scanning solutions, which are highly complementary to Brady’s portfolio of printers, software and specialty adhesive materials.”

“In addition to our new quarterly record adjusted earnings per share, we increased our cash flow from operating activities more than 30 percent to $78.2 million in the quarter, and we returned $16.7 million to our shareholders in the form of dividends and share buybacks,” said Brady’s Chief Financial Officer, Ann Thornton. “We were in a net cash position of $148.6 million as of April 30, 2026, which gives us the ability to continue to invest in organic growth and provides support for our acquisition of the Productivity Solutions and Services business, while returning funds to our shareholders to continue to drive long-term shareholder value.”

Fiscal 2026 Guidance:

The Company adjusted its GAAP earnings per diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share guidance for the year ending July 31, 2026 from $4.62 to $4.82 per share, to $4.66 to $4.76 per share. The Company raised its Adjusted Diluted EPS* guidance for the year ending July 31, 2026 from $4.95 to $5.15 per share, to $5.20 to $5.30 per share.

The assumptions included in fiscal 2026 guidance include a full-year income tax rate of approximately 21 percent, depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $44 million, and capital expenditures of approximately $45 million. Fiscal 2026 guidance is based on foreign currency exchange rates as of April 30, 2026 and assumes continued economic growth. Fiscal 2026 guidance does not include any earnings impact from the PSS transaction.

In this news release, statements that are not reported financial results or other historic information are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company's future financial position, business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs, earnings, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans and objectives of management for future operations.

The use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “project,” “plan” or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond Brady’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For Brady, uncertainties arise from: increased cost of materials, labor, material shortages and supply chain disruptions, including as a result of tariffs or other impacts of the global trade environment; decreased demand for our products; our ability to compete effectively or to successfully execute our strategy; our ability to develop technologically advanced products that meet customer demands; Brady’s ability to identify, integrate and grow acquired companies; difficulties in protecting our websites, networks, and systems against security breaches and difficulties in preventing phishing attacks, social engineering or malicious break-ins; risks associated with the loss of key employees; litigation, including product liability claims; global climate change and environmental regulations; foreign currency fluctuations; changes in tax legislation and tax rates; potential write-offs of goodwill and other intangible assets; differing interests of voting and non-voting shareholders and changes in the regulatory and business environment around dual-class voting structures; the possibility that events, changes or other circumstances could result in termination of the agreement to acquire the PSS business; our ability to complete the

pending acquisition of the PSS business on the anticipated timeline or at all, including risks related to the timing, receipt and terms of required governmental and regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions; the potential effects of the pending acquisition and related integration planning on Brady’s and the PSS business’s relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners, ability to retain and hire key personnel, operating results and businesses generally; our ability to realize the anticipated strategic and financial benefits of the pending acquisition of the PSS business, including expected synergies, within the anticipated timeframe, or at all; numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including major public health crises and government responses thereto and those of a political, economic, business, competitive, and regulatory nature contained from time to time in Brady’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Part I of Brady’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2025.

These uncertainties may cause Brady's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements. Brady does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

GAAP to NON-GAAP MEASURES

(Unaudited; Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts)

In accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in the earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure.

Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes:

Brady is presenting the non-GAAP measure, “Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes.” This is not a calculation based upon GAAP. The amounts included in this non-GAAP measure are derived from amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements and supporting footnote disclosures.

F’26 Q3 Financial Results Brady Corporation May 18, 2026

Forward-Looking Statements In this news release, statements that are not reported financial results or other historic information are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company's future financial position, business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs, income, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans and objectives of management for future operations. The use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “project,” “plan” or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond Brady’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward- looking statements. For Brady, uncertainties arise from: increased cost of materials, labor, material shortages and supply chain disruptions, including as a result of tariffs or other impacts of the global trade environment; decreased demand for our products; our ability to compete effectively or to successfully execute our strategy; our ability to develop technologically advanced products that meet customer demands; Brady’s ability to identify, integrate and grow acquired companies; difficulties in protecting our websites, networks, and systems against security breaches and difficulties in preventing phishing attacks, social engineering or malicious break-ins; risks associated with the loss of key employees; litigation, including product liability claims; global climate change and environmental regulations; foreign currency fluctuations; changes in tax legislation and tax rates; potential write-offs of goodwill and other intangible assets; differing interests of voting and non-voting shareholders and changes in the regulatory and business environment around dual-class voting structures; the possibility that events, changes or other circumstances could result in termination of the agreement to acquire the PSS business; our ability to complete the pending acquisition of the PSS business on the anticipated timeline or at all, including risks related to the timing, receipt and terms of required governmental and regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions; the potential effects of the pending acquisition and related integration planning on Brady’s and the PSS business’s relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners, ability to retain and hire key personnel, operating results and businesses generally; our ability to realize the anticipated strategic and financial benefits of the pending acquisition of the PSS business, including expected synergies, within the anticipated timeframe, or at all; numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including major public health crises and government responses thereto and those of a political, economic, business, competitive, and regulatory nature contained from time to time in Brady’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Part I of Brady’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2025. These uncertainties may cause Brady's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements. Brady does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law. 2
