NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. (Atmus; NYSE: ATMU), a global leader in filtration and media solutions, today reported financial results for its second quarter that ended June 30, 2024.

Second Quarter Highlights
•Net sales of $433 million
•GAAP net income of $56 million
•Diluted earnings per share of $0.67
•Adjusted earnings per share of $0.71
•Adjusted EBITDA of $93 million and adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.4%
•Cash provided by operating activities was $23 million
•Adjusted free cash flow was $34 million

2024 Outlook
The company is updating guidance for year 2024 as follows:
•Revenue to be in the range of $1,625 million to $1,675 million
•Adjusted EBITDA margin to be in the range of 18.50 percent to 19.50 percent
•Adjusted earnings per share in the range of $2.15 to $2.40

On July 18, 2024, Atmus announced the Board of Directors declared the first quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of Common Stock and authorized a $150 million share repurchase program.
“The Atmus team continues to produce strong results while delivering industry leading products and support for our customers,” said Steph Disher, Chief Executive Officer of Atmus. “Disciplined progress on our growth strategy, coupled with the announcement of our capital return to shareholders, further demonstrates our commitment to strengthening shareholder value.”

Second Quarter Results
For the second quarter of 2024, Atmus posted net sales of $433 million, compared to $414 million in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of approximately 4.6%. The increase in sales was primarily driven by higher volumes and increases in pricing.

Gross margin was $132 million, compared to $114 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. Gross margin as a percent of net sales was 30.5% compared to 27.7% in the same period last year. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by increases in pricing and higher volumes.

Adjusted EBITDA was $93 million, compared to $80 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.4% compared to 19.3% in the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA in the


second quarter of 2024 excludes $4 million of one-time costs associated with the separation of our business from Cummins Inc. compared to the prior year quarter which excludes $9 million of one-time costs.

Net income was $56 million, or $0.67 of diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $46 million, or $0.55 of diluted earnings per share in the same period last year.

Adjusted earnings per share was $0.71 in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.63 of adjusted earnings per share in the same period last year.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter was 21.8%.

Cash provided by operating activities was $23 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $46 million in the second quarter of 2023. The higher cash usage was primarily related to increased working capital requirements.

Adjusted free cash flow was $34 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $35 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted free cash flow in the second quarter of 2024 excludes $5 million of one-time capital expenditures associated with our separation from Cummins compared to $2 million in the prior year. Additionally, Adjusted free cash flow in the second quarter of 2024 excludes $18 million of one-time separation expenditures primarily comprised of working capital inefficiencies associated with the move from intercompany settlement terms with Cummins to standalone practices.

Second Quarter 2024 Conference Call and Webcast
Atmus will host a conference call and webcast to discuss the company's second quarter 2024 results on Friday, August 2, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. CT.

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “could,” “should,” “may” or words of similar meaning. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance, discussions of future operations, our strategy for growth and market position. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict. If the underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, or known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, our actual outcomes, results and financial condition may differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking
2

statements. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those reflected in the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 14, 2024, and subsequent filings, all of which are on file with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP measures
We use non-GAAP financial information and believe it is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. We use non-GAAP financial measures to budget, make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have detailed the non-GAAP adjustments that we make in our non-GAAP definitions below. We believe the non-GAAP measures should always be considered along with the related U.S. GAAP financial measures. We have provided the reconciliations between the U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures and we also discuss our underlying U.S. GAAP results throughout our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are listed below and reflect how we evaluate our current and prior-year operating results. As new events or circumstances arise, these definitions could change. When our definitions change, we provide the updated definitions and present the related non-GAAP historical results on a comparable basis.

•“EBITDA” is defined as earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and “EBITDA margin” is defined as EBITDA as a percent of net sales. We believe EBITDA and EBITDA margin are useful measures of our operating performance as they assist investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. Additionally, we believe these metrics are widely used by investors, securities analysts, ratings agencies and others in our industry in evaluating performance.

•“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA after adding back certain one-time expenses, reflected in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, associated with becoming a standalone public company and “Adjusted EBITDA margin” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful measures of our operating performance as it allows investors and debt holders to compare our performance on a consistent basis without regard to one-time costs attributable to our becoming a standalone public company.

•“Adjusted earnings per share” is defined as diluted earnings per share (the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) after adding back certain one-time expenses, reflected in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, associated with becoming a standalone public company less the related tax impact of the same one-time expenses. We believe Adjusted earnings per share provides improved comparability of underlying operating results.

•“Free cash flow” is defined as cash flows provided by (used for) operating activities less capital expenditures and “Adjusted free cash flow” is defined as Free cash flow after adding back certain one-time capital expenditures and other separation related costs associated with
3

becoming a standalone public company. We believe Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow are useful metrics used by management and investors to analyze our ability to service and repay debt and return value to shareholders.

The metrics defined above are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, U.S. GAAP financial measures and may not be consistent with measures used by other companies. It should be considered supplemental data; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA, EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted earnings per share, Free cash flow and Adjusted free cash flow calculations are derived from amounts included in the consolidated statements of net income and cash flows.

We do not consider our non-GAAP financial measures as superior to, or a substitute for, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations are: such measures do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; such measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; such measures do not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and such measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and other companies in our industry may calculate such measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in our SEC filings and not rely on a single financial measure to evaluate our business.
