•GAAP earnings per share ("EPS")# of $3.19 and GAAP operating income of $753 million, each up over 130% versus prior year

•Adjusted EPS* of $3.20 and adjusted operating income* of $753 million, each up 19 percent versus prior year and exceeding top-end of adjusted EPS* guidance

Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Consolidated Results (comparison versus prior year)

LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. (April 30, 2026) - Air Products (NYSE:APD) today reported second quarter fiscal 2026 GAAP operating income of $753 million and GAAP EPS# of $3.19, each up over 130%, and GAAP operating margin of 23.7 percent, compared to negative 79.8 percent in the prior year. This improvement primarily reflects prior-year losses related to charges for business and asset actions. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed below exclude these charges, as well as other prior-year items, as described in the "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section beginning on page 8 of this release.

On a non-GAAP basis, second quarter adjusted operating income* of $753 million and adjusted EPS* of $3.20 each increased 19 percent, reflecting higher on-site volumes, favorable currency, and lower costs driven by productivity and lower depreciation, net of fixed-cost inflation and higher Americas maintenance. A pricing headwind driven by helium was partially mitigated by pricing improvements across non-helium product lines. Adjusted operating margin* of 23.7 percent increased from 21.6 percent in the prior year, primarily due to higher volumes and productivity, partially offset by energy cost pass-through and price.

Second quarter sales of $3.2 billion increased nine percent, reflecting four percent higher volumes, four percent favorable currency and two percent higher energy cost pass-through, partially offset by one percent lower pricing.

Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Officer Eduardo Menezes said, "Despite macroeconomic volatility, Air Products delivered 19% growth in adjusted EPS and adjusted operating income improvement across segments. We saw higher on-site volumes and made continued progress on productivity and pricing. We also took actions to strengthen helium supply chain resilience for customers, including drawing from our U.S. storage cavern, increasing U.S. liquefaction, and optimizing our logistics network and container fleet. Looking ahead, we remain focused on our key priorities—unlocking earnings growth, optimizing large projects and maintaining capital discipline."

# Per share amounts are calculated and presented on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products.

* Certain results in this release include references to non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated, continuing operations basis. Additional information regarding these measures and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP historical results can be found below. Management is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, the Company’s forecasted range of adjusted EPS or capital expenditures to a comparable GAAP range or amount because management is not able to predict the timing or occurrence of events or transactions that management believes are not representative of the Company’s underlying business performance or the timing or occurrence of future investment activity, which are necessary to calculate forward-looking adjusted EPS from continuing operations and capital expenditures, respectively. Refer to the “Capital Expenditures” and “Adjusted EPS Outlook” sections on pages 10 and 11, respectively, for additional information.

Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Results by Business Segment

•Americas sales of $1.4 billion were up eight percent from the prior year, on four percent higher energy cost pass-through, three percent higher volumes, and one percent favorable currency. Operating income of $374 million increased two percent on favorable volumes, partially offset by higher maintenance and lower helium pricing. Volumes were up for both on‑site and merchant, including helium, partially offset by income from a favorable one‑time customer contract amendment in the prior year. Pricing was lower despite improvements across non-helium product lines mitigating higher power costs. Operating margin of 27.0 percent decreased 140 basis points compared to the prior year, driven by a headwind of approximately 100 basis points from higher energy cost pass‑through.

•Asia sales of $833 million increased eight percent from the prior year on four percent higher volumes, four percent favorable currency, and one percent higher energy cost pass-through, partially offset by one percent lower pricing. Operating income of $240 million increased 25 percent as reduced depreciation due to certain gasification assets being classified as held for sale, productivity improvements, higher on-site and helium volumes, and favorable currency were partially offset by the lower helium pricing. Operating margin of 28.8 percent improved 410 basis points.

•Europe sales of $789 million increased eight percent from the prior year on nine percent favorable currency and two percent higher volumes, partially offset by two percent lower energy cost pass-through and one percent lower pricing driven by helium. Operating income of $212 million increased eight percent as higher volumes, favorable currency, and pricing benefits from non-helium products and lower power costs were partially offset by higher costs, including depreciation and fixed-cost inflation. The volume improvement was driven by on-sites, including a prior year turnaround, partially offset by lower helium. Operating margin of 26.8 percent decreased 10 basis points.

•Middle East and India equity affiliates' income of $79 million increased one percent from the prior year.

•Corporate and other sales of $137 million increased 45 percent from the prior year. Operating loss of $77 million decreased 35 percent on lower changes to sale of equipment project estimates and productivity improvements.

Outlook

With a strong first half and outperformance in market volume, Air Products now expects full-year fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance* in the range of $13.00 to $13.25. For the fiscal 2026 third quarter, Air Products' adjusted EPS guidance* is $3.25 to $3.35. Air Products remains cautious given uncertainty around the macroeconomic environment but expects to see benefits in the second half from continued non-helium pricing actions, progress on productivity actions, and new assets ramping up.

Air Products continues to expect capital expenditures* of approximately $4.0 billion for full-year fiscal 2026.

(A)Operating income (loss) for our reportable segments does not include gains or losses that management does not consider to be indicative of underlying business performance, such as charges related to business and asset actions. Refer below for a reconciliation of total segment operating income to consolidated results.

(B)Segment equity affiliates’ income for the three and six months ended 31 March 2025 excludes a $6.8 impairment charge related to a joint venture in China, which was recorded as part of our business and asset actions during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. As a result, total segment equity affiliates’ income does not reconcile to equity affiliates’ income for the total company as reported on the consolidated income statement for the three and six months ended 31 March 2025.

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Millions of U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated, except for per share data)

We present certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") because they exclude items that management does not consider to be representative of our underlying business operations. We provide these adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to allow investors, potential investors, securities analysts, and others to evaluate our business in the same manner as management. When viewed together with our GAAP results, we believe these non-GAAP financial measures offer a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our financial performance and support analysis of our results on a more consistent basis.

Readers are cautioned that non‑GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the corresponding GAAP measures. Our definitions and calculations of non‑GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other companies, which may limit comparability.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Management uses non-GAAP performance measures, including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), to assess our performance because these measures exclude items that management does not consider to be representative of our underlying business operations. In addition, adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS are important components of our incentive compensation plans. We also use adjusted operating margin to assess operational efficiency, cost discipline, and overall profitability.

Our non‑GAAP performance measures are adjusted to exclude gains or losses that management believes are not associated with the ongoing operations of our business. These adjustments, which are described below for the periods presented, are not reflected in the results of our reportable segments. Although these items are often difficult to predict, readers should be aware that similar gains or losses may occur in future periods. The related tax effects reflect the expected current and deferred income tax impacts of our non-GAAP adjustments, which are primarily driven by the statutory tax rates of the applicable jurisdictions and the taxability of the underlying adjustments in those jurisdictions.

We reconcile each non‑GAAP performance measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure in the table below, followed by descriptions of each non-GAAP adjustment. Margins are calculated by dividing the applicable line item by consolidated sales for the relevant period. In addition to our non-GAAP performance measures, we also present components used in calculating adjusted EPS to illustrate the per share effect of our non‑GAAP adjustments. All per share amounts are calculated on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products. Because margins and per share amounts are calculated independently, the individual components may not sum to the related totals due to rounding.

Non-GAAP Adjustments

Prior-Year Business and Asset Actions

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recognized charges of approximately $2.9 billion ($2.3 billion attributable to Air Products after tax, or $10.28 per share), primarily related to decisions to exit certain clean energy generation and distribution projects. Additional information regarding these actions is included in Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K dated 1 May 2025.

Prior-Year Shareholder Activism-Related Costs

We recorded shareholder activism-related costs in fiscal year 2025 in connection with a proxy contest that concluded in January 2025 following certification of the election of directors at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Costs incurred during the second quarter were $31.4 ($31.0 after tax, or $0.14 per share), primarily reflecting executive separation costs following the Board of Directors’ appointment of a new chief executive officer in February 2025.

Prior-Year Gain on De-designation of Cash Flow Hedges

In fiscal year 2024, we discontinued cash flow hedge accounting for certain interest rate swaps due to changes in the anticipated drawdown timeline for hedged borrowings related to the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project. These swaps are held by NEOM Green Hydrogen Company, a consolidated joint venture accounted for under the variable interest model, in which Air Products holds a one-third ownership interest. As a result of the de-designation, unrealized gains and losses related to the affected swaps were recorded in "Other non-operating income (expense), net" on our consolidated income statements. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded an unrealized loss of $11.5 ($3.0 attributable to Air Products after tax, or $0.01 per share), with $7.5 attributable to our noncontrolling partners.

We re-designated the affected swaps as cash flow hedges when the outstanding borrowings under the available project financing became commensurate with the swaps’ notional values. As of 1 January 2026, all swaps were re-designated as cash flow hedges.

Non-Service Related Pension Items

Non-service related pension items resulted in net non-operating costs of $4.6 ($3.5 after tax, or $0.02 per share) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2026 compared to $10.7 ($8.0 after tax, or $0.04 per share) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Non-service related components are recurring, non-operating items that include interest cost, expected returns on plan assets, prior service cost amortization, actuarial loss amortization, as well as special termination benefits, curtailments, and settlements. The net impact of non-service related components is reflected within “Other non-operating income (expense), net” on our consolidated income statements. Adjusting for the impact of non-service pension components provides management and users of our financial statements with a more accurate representation of our underlying business performance because these components are driven by factors that are unrelated to our operations, such as volatility in equity and debt markets. Further, non-service related components are not indicative of our defined benefit plans’ future contribution needs due to the funded status of the plans.

Prior-Year Tax Items

Tax Reform Adjustment Related to Deemed Foreign Dividends

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded a net income tax benefit of $34.9 related to our intent to file a refund claim after a review of several U.S. Tax Court cases regarding the U.S. taxation of deemed foreign dividends in the transition year of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (our fiscal year 2018). While we were not a party to these cases, the opinions resulted in a change to our intent to pursue a refund claim.

Tax on Repatriation of Foreign Earnings

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we recorded an income tax expense of $31.4 related to estimated withholding taxes on foreign earnings that we no longer intended to indefinitely reinvest.

Capital Expenditures (Non-GAAP)

Capital expenditures is a non-GAAP financial measure that management uses to evaluate our deployment of capital and assess alignment with our strategic priorities. Our calculation of this measure begins as the sum of cash paid for additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits, acquisitions (less cash acquired), investment in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, and investment in financing receivables, each of which are reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

We then adjust this amount to exclude spending for additions to plant and equipment by our consolidated joint venture, NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (“NGHC”), to the extent such spending is funded by sources other than Air Products’ cash. These other funding sources include NGHC’s project financing, which is non‑recourse to Air Products, as well as equity contributions from the other joint venture partners. Management believes this adjustment provides a more useful view of the capital we deploy to support the ongoing growth of our business.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure to our non‑GAAP capital expenditures is “Cash used for investing activities,” as reported on our consolidated statements of cash flows. The reconciliation of cash used for investing activities to our reported capital expenditures is provided below:

Six Months Ended

31 March

2026 2025

Cash used for investing activities $2,318.8 $4,419.4

Proceeds from sale of assets and investments 49.0 36.5

Purchases of short-term investments

— (117.6)

Proceeds from short-term investments

— 11.1

Proceeds from other investing activities 11.0 60.9

NGHC expenditures not funded by Air Products' equity(A)

(590.4) (1,470.9)

Capital expenditures $1,788.4 $2,939.4

(A)Reflects the portion of "Additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits" that is associated with NGHC, less our approximate cash investment in the joint venture. Substantially all the funding we provide to NGHC is limited for use by the joint venture for its capital expenditures.

The table below outlines the cash flow components included in our definition of capital expenditures:

Six Months Ended

31 March

2026 2025

Additions to plant and equipment, including long-term deposits $2,358.8 $4,009.1

Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates

Investments in financing receivables

— 35.8

NGHC expenditures not funded by Air Products' equity(A)

(590.4) (1,470.9)

Capital expenditures $1,788.4 $2,939.4

Outlook for Investing Activities

It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to reconcile our forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities because management is unable to identify the timing or occurrence of our future investment activity, which is driven by our assessment of competing opportunities at the time we enter into transactions. These decisions, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a significant effect on our cash used for investing activities. Accordingly, management is unable to fully reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, our forecasted capital expenditures to future cash used for investing activities.

We expect capital expenditures of approximately $4.0 billion for fiscal year 2026.

Adjusted EPS Outlook (Non-GAAP)

The adjusted EPS guidance below is provided on a diluted basis from continuing operations attributable to Air Products and is compared to historical adjusted EPS. These adjusted measures exclude the impact of certain items that we believe are not representative of our underlying business performance, such as the non-service components of net periodic benefit/cost for our defined benefit pension plans, the incurrence of costs for business, asset, and cost reduction actions and impairment charges, or the recognition of gains or losses on certain disclosed items. The per share impact for each non-GAAP adjustment is calculated independently and may not sum to total adjusted EPS due to rounding.

It is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to predict the timing or occurrence of these or similar future events or the potential for other events or transactions that may impact future GAAP EPS. Furthermore, it is not possible to identify the potential significance of these events in advance; however, any of these events, if they were to occur, could have a significant effect on our future GAAP EPS. Accordingly, management is unable to fully reconcile, without unreasonable efforts, our forecasted range of adjusted EPS to a comparable GAAP range.
