SENSATA TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Swindon, United Kingdom – April 28, 2026 - Sensata Technologies (NYSE: ST) today announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

“Our first quarter results, which met or exceeded our expectations across all of our key metrics, provide more proof points for the momentum we are gaining," said Stephan von Schuckmann, Sensata's Chief Executive Officer. "We have achieved organization-wide operational discipline, our productivity engine is delivering, our strategic initiatives are accelerating, and our growth opportunities are robust."

Operating Results - First Quarter

Operating results for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 are summarized below. These results include non-GAAP financial measures, each of which is defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure later in this press release.

As previously disclosed, the Company reorganized into three operating segments effective in the fourth quarter of 2025. Prior period results have been recast to be comparative to the current period.

Revenue:

•Revenue was $934.8 million, an increase of $23.6 million, or 2.6%, compared to $911.3 million in the first quarter of 2025.

◦On an organic basis, revenue increased $38.0 million, or 4.2%, compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Operating income:

•Operating income was $141.6 million, or 15.2% of revenue compared to operating income of $122.2 million, or 13.4% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2025.

•Adjusted operating income was $174.0 million, or 18.6% of revenue, an increase of $7.5 million, or 4.5%, compared to adjusted operating income of $166.5 million, or 18.3% of revenue, in the first quarter of 2025.

◦Tariff pass-through revenue of $11.9 million was approximately 30 basis points dilutive to adjusted operating income margin in the first quarter of 2026.

Earnings per share:

•Earnings per share was $0.59, an increase of $0.12, or 25.5%, compared to earnings per share of $0.47 in the first quarter of 2025.

•Adjusted earnings per share was $0.86, an increase of $0.08, or 10.3%, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.78 in the first quarter of 2025.

Cash Flow and Shareholder Returns:

•Net cash provided by operating activities was $122.5 million in the first quarter of 2026, and cash on hand was $635.1 million at March 31, 2026.

•Free cash flow was $104.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, representing Free cash flow conversion of 83%.

•During the first quarter of 2026, Sensata returned approximately $42.6 million to shareholders, including $17.5 million through its quarterly dividend, and $25.1 million of repurchased shares.

Guidance

For the second quarter of 2026, Sensata expects revenue of $950 to $980 million, inclusive of recovery of tariff costs, and adjusted EPS of $0.89 to $0.95.

•Tariff expectations included in guidance reflect trade policies in effect as of April 27, 2026.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures internally to make operating and strategic decisions, including the preparation of our annual operating plan, evaluation of our overall business performance, and as a factor in determining compensation for certain employees. We believe presenting non-GAAP financial measures is useful for period-over-period comparisons of underlying business trends and our ongoing business performance. We also believe presenting these non-GAAP measures provides additional transparency into how management evaluates the business.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplemental in nature and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as, or comparable to, similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

The non-GAAP financial measures referenced by Sensata in this release include: adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”), adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, free cash flow, organic revenue growth, market outgrowth, adjusted corporate and other expenses, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), net debt, and gross and net leverage ratio. We also refer to changes in certain non-GAAP measures, usually reported either as a percentage or number of basis points, between two periods. Such changes are also considered non-GAAP measures.

Adjusted net income (or loss) is defined as net income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding certain non-GAAP adjustments which are detailed in the accompanying reconciliation tables. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income (or loss) by the number of diluted weighted-average ordinary shares outstanding in the period. We believe that these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Adjusted operating income (or loss) is defined as operating income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding certain non-GAAP adjustments which are detailed in the accompanying reconciliation tables. Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income (or loss) by net revenue. We believe that these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment and capitalized software. Free cash flow conversion is defined as Free cash flow divided by Adjusted net income. We believe free cash flow is useful to management and investors as a measure of cash generated by business operations that will be used to repay

scheduled debt maturities and can be used to, among other things, fund acquisitions, repurchase ordinary shares, or accelerate the repayment of debt obligations.

Organic revenue growth (or decline) is defined as the reported percentage change in net revenue calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding the period-over-period impact of foreign exchange rate differences as well as the net impact of material acquisitions, divestitures, and product life-cycle management actions for the 12-month period following the respective transaction date(s). We believe that this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (or loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding interest expense, interest income, and provision for (or benefit from) income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and the following non-GAAP adjustments, if applicable: (1) restructuring related and other, (2) financing and other transaction costs, and (3) other, net. We believe that this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Gross leverage ratio is defined as gross debt (total debt and finance lease obligations less unamortized issue costs) divided by last twelve months ("LTM") adjusted EBITDA. We believe that gross leverage ratio is a useful measure to management and investors in understanding trends in our overall financial condition.

Net debt is defined as total debt, finance lease, and other financing obligations less cash and cash equivalents. We believe net debt is a useful measure to management and investors in understanding trends in our overall financial condition.

Net leverage ratio is defined as net debt divided by LTM adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the net leverage ratio is a useful measure to management and investors in understanding trends in our overall financial condition.

In discussing trends in our performance, we may refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures or the percentage change of certain non-GAAP financial measures in one period versus another, calculated on a constant currency basis. Constant currency is determined by stating revenues and expenses at prior period foreign currency exchange rates and excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on all hedges and, as applicable, net monetary assets. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
