___________________________________________________________________________

DALLAS, October 26, 2023 – Lennox (NYSE: LII), a leader in energy-efficient climate-control solutions, today reported record third quarter revenue of $1.37 billion. Operating income was $187 million for the third quarter, including a $63M non-cash impairment related to the planned European divestiture. Operating margin was 13.7% and GAAP diluted earnings per share was $3.65.

Core revenue, excluding European Operations, grew 10% to $1.30 billion. Adjusted segment profit rose 33% to $251 million. Adjusted segment margin was 19.3%, up 334 basis points. Adjusted earnings per share rose 30% to $5.37.

“The record results Lennox achieved this quarter are a testament to our consistent leadership performance, the dedication and teamwork of our employees, and the focus on our transformational self-help initiatives,” said Chief Executive Officer, Alok Maskara. “With continued momentum and solid execution on driving top line growth and expanding margins, we are confidently raising our 2023 full year earnings estimate and increasing our revenue and free cash flow guidance.”

“In addition to the impressive third quarter results, we have announced the planned transition of our Chief Financial Officer at the beginning of next year and portfolio updates including our strategic bolt-on acquisition of AES,” Maskara continued.

In the third quarter, our Residential segment maintained a positive mix with increased sales of higher-efficiency products, which, along with effective pricing, led to a 7% sales growth and an 18% rise in operating profits. Although unit sales volumes for the segment declined by 2%, our direct-to-contractor sales volume increased by 5%, reflecting healthy end markets and ongoing market share gains. Unit sales volumes through independent distribution channels declined mid-teens, primarily due to continued industry destocking, which decelerated during the quarter.

The Commercial segment continues to achieve remarkable profit growth through pricing and higher efficiency product mix. Increased factory productivity has offset inflation and we have made significant progress on our new factory construction which will support growth and productivity.






THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
(All comparisons are year-over-year, unless otherwise noted)

Revenue: $1.37 billion; Core revenue, which excludes our European operations, was $1.30 billion, up 10%. Revenue growth was driven by price and favorable mix and partially offset by lower sales volumes.

Operating Income: $187 million with operating profit margin of 13.7%.

Adjusted Segment Profit: $251 million, up 33%, and adjusted segment profit margin of 19.3%, up 334 basis points. Adjusted segment profit increased $62 million as $97 million of price and mix benefits were partially offset by lower sales volumes and inflationary impacts on SG&A and distribution costs.

Net Income: $130.4 million, or $3.65 per share, compared to $141.9 million, or $3.99 per share, in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted Net Income: $191.6 million, or $5.37 per share, compared to $146.8 million, or $4.13 per share, in the prior year quarter.

Cash: Operating cash flow was $313 million compared to $171 million in the prior-year quarter. Capital expenditures were $40 million compared to $20 million in the prior year quarter with the increase driven by the new Commercial factory investment in Saltillo, Mexico. Total debt at the end of the third quarter was approximately $1.5 billion. Total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $142 million at the end of the quarter.

Residential: Business segment revenue was $896 million, 7% greater than the prior year. Segment profit was $181 million, up 18%, and segment margin was 20.2%, up 183 basis points. Versus prior year, profit increased $28 million. The increase was driven by $51 million in pricing and mix benefits, partially offset by $4 million lower volume, along with headwinds of $19 million primarily from incentive compensation and inflationary wage and distribution impacts.

Commercial: Business segment revenue was $406 million, up 15%. Segment profit was $97 million, up 86%, and segment margin expanded 912 basis points to 24.0%. Segment profit increased $45 million compared to prior year, driven by $47 million of price and mix benefits and $1 million generated by higher sales volumes. Minor inflationary impacts on materials and production costs partially offset these gains.

Corporate and Other: Revenue in the European Refrigeration operations was $64.5 million, up 13%. European operations had $3.9 million in profit compared to a $0.4 million loss in the prior year quarter. Corporate expenses were $27 million, or up $11 million compared to the prior year quarter as a result of higher incentive compensation and wage inflation.

Loss on Divestiture: Lennox recently announced the exclusive agreements for its European businesses. In the third quarter a non-cash impairment of $63 million was recorded. Both transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter.












FULL-YEAR 2023 GUIDANCE
For the full year of 2023, we now expect core revenue to be up approximately 5% (previous: up 2% to up 4%) and we expect adjusted earnings per share of $17.25 to $17.75 (previous: $15.50 to $16.00).
Based on exceptional year-to-date performance and end market outlook, we are updating our free cash flow outlook to include operating cash flow of $600 million to $650 million and capital expenditures of approximately $250 million.

“As we close out this year, I am confident in our ability to achieve our 2023 targets and remain excited about the opportunities ahead. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Joe Reitmeier for his dedication over the years and congratulate Michael Quenzer on his new role as CFO. Lennox also warmly welcomes the AES team and is excited to integrate their expertise to deliver additional value to our customers,” Maskara concluded.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS & NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The statements in this document that are not historical statements, including statements regarding the 2023 full-year outlook and expected consolidated and segment financial results, as well as financial targets for future years, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available as well as management’s assumptions and beliefs today. These statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by the statements, and investors should not place undue reliance on them. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements include risks that the North American unitary HVAC and refrigeration markets perform worse than current assumptions. Additional risks include but are not limited to the impact of higher raw material prices, availability and timely delivery of raw materials and other components, competition in the HVACR business, ability to meet customer demand, the impact of new or increased trade tariffs, LII’s ability to successfully execute its business strategy including implementing price increases for its products and services, economic conditions in our markets, regulatory changes, the impact of unfavorable weather, and a decline in new construction activity and related demand for products and services. For information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties, see LII’s publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. LII disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures appearing in this document to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) are included in the Annex to this document.







This document includes forward-looking statements regarding core revenue, adjusted earnings per share, and free cash flow which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts excluded is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period and the high variability of certain amounts, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in environmental liabilities, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, future restructuring costs, and other structural changes or their probable significance. Core revenue, adjusted segment profit, and adjusted earnings per share exclude net sales from our European portfolio, which we plan to divest. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on LII’s full year GAAP financial results.

Reconciliation to U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) Measures
(Unaudited, in millions, except per share and ratio data)
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements and segment net sales and profit (loss) presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, additional non-GAAP financial measures are provided and reconciled in the following tables. In addition to these non-GAAP measures, the Company also provides rates of revenue change at constant currency on a consolidated and segment basis if different than the reported measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP financial measures, provide information that is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results and enhance the ability of investors to analyze the Company's business trends and operating performance.

In November 2022, we announced the decision to explore strategic alternatives for our European portfolio. The results from operations for these businesses have been shown in the tables below as "Non-Core business results." The prior period results have been updated to provide period-over-period comparability.

DALLAS, TX October 26, 2023- Lennox (NYSE: LII) today announced that Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Joe Reitmeier has elected to retire effective February 29, 2024, after 18 remarkable years with the company. Michael Quenzer, Vice President of Financial Planning & Analysis and Investor Relations will succeed Mr. Reitmeier as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective January 1, 2024. Mr. Reitmeier’s continued availability through February 2024 will ensure a smooth leadership transition.

Under his strategic leadership, the company enjoyed significant shareholder value growth and exceptional financial performance. Joe demonstrated a tireless dedication to instilling financial excellence at Lennox.”
Mr. Reitmeier held various leadership roles at Lennox, including Commercial Segment CFO, before becoming the Chief Financial Officer in 2012.

We are immensely grateful for Joe’s leadership and commitment to Lennox. I also want to congratulate Michael and look forward to working with him in his new role.”
