SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION – CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Millions of dollars except per share data) (Unaudited)
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, some of which we refer to as “ongoing” measures. These measures may include earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), EBIT margin, ongoing EBIT, ongoing EBIT margin, ongoing earnings per diluted share, ongoing EBITDA, adjusted effective tax rate, organic net sales, net debt leverage (Net Debt/Ongoing EBITDA), return on invested capital (ROIC) and free cash flow.
Ongoing measures exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.
Sales excluding foreign currency: Current period net sales translated in functional currency, to U.S. dollars using the applicable prior period’s exchange rate compared to the applicable prior period net sales. Management believes that sales excluding foreign currency provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time, excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations.
Organic net sales: Sales excluding the impact of certain acquisitions or divestitures, and foreign currency. Management believes that organic net sales provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time, excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations and certain acquisitions and/or divestitures.
Ongoing EBIT margin: Ongoing earnings before interest and taxes divided by net sales. Ongoing measures exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.
Ongoing earnings per diluted share: Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations. Ongoing measures provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.
Ongoing EBITDA: Ongoing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Ongoing measures exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses.
Net debt leverage: Net debt to ongoing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) ratio is net debt outstanding, including long-term debt, current maturities of long-term debt, and notes payable, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by ongoing EBITDA. Management believes that net debt leverage provides stockholders with a view of our ability to generate earnings sufficient to service our debt.
Return on invested capital: Ongoing EBIT after taxes divided by total invested capital, defined as total assets less non-interest bearing current liabilities (NIBCLS). NIBCLS is defined as current liabilities less current maturities of long-term debt and notes payable. This ROIC definition may differ from other companies’ methods and therefore may not be comparable to those used by other companies. Management believes that ROIC provides stockholders with a view of capital efficiency, a key driver of stockholder value creation.
Adjusted effective tax rate: Effective tax rate, excluding pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items. Management believes that adjusted tax rate provides stockholders with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company’s effective tax rate, excluding the pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items.
Free cash flow: Cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow provides stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the Company’s ability to fund its activities and obligations.
Whirlpool does not provide a non-GAAP reconciliation for its forward-looking long-term value creation goals, such as EBIT, free cash flow conversion, ROIC and net debt leverage, as these long-term management goals are not annual guidance, and the reconciliation of these long-term measures would rely on market factors and certain other conditions and assumptions that are outside of the Company’s control.
We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and stockholders in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance, and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These ongoing non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported net earnings available to Whirlpool per diluted share, net earnings, net earnings available to Whirlpool, net earnings margin, return on assets, net sales, effective GAAP tax rate and cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
We also disclose segment EBIT as an important financial metric used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate performance and allocate resources in accordance with ASC 280 – Segment Reporting. Consolidated EBIT also includes corporate “Other” of $(273) million and $(28) million for the third quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Management believes segment EBIT provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time for each segment.
GAAP net earnings available to Whirlpool per basic or diluted share (as applicable) and ongoing earnings per diluted share are presented net of tax, while individual adjustments in each reconciliation are presented on a pre-tax basis; the income tax impact line item aggregates the tax impact for these adjustments. The tax impact of individual line item adjustments may not foot precisely to the aggregate income tax impact amount, as each line item adjustment may include non-taxable components. Historical quarterly earnings per share amounts are presented based on a normalized tax rate adjustment to reconcile quarterly tax rates to full-year tax rate expectations. We strongly encourage investors and stockholders to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
THIRD-QUARTER 2026 ONGOING EARNINGS BEFORE INTEREST AND TAXES AND ONGOING EARNINGS PER DILUTED SHARE
The reconciliation provided below reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures ongoing earnings before interest and taxes and ongoing earnings per diluted share, with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool common shareholders and net earnings (loss) per diluted share available to Whirlpool common shareholders, for the three months ended September 30, 2026. Net earnings (loss) margin is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool common shareholders by net sales. Ongoing EBIT margin is calculated by dividing ongoing EBIT by net sales. EBIT margin is calculated by dividing EBIT by net sales. The earnings per diluted share GAAP measure and ongoing measure are presented net of tax, while each adjustment is presented on a pre-tax basis. Our third-quarter GAAP tax rate was (6.8)%. The aggregate income tax impact of the taxable components of each adjustment is presented in the income tax impact line item at our third-quarter adjusted tax rate (non-GAAP) of 25.0%.

Wenge AI Launches ScienceOra on Tencent WorkBuddy, Making Specialized Research AI More Accessible
Published
51 minutes agoon
October 27, 2026By
BEIJING, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wenge AI launched ScienceOra, its research and decision-support platform, on Tencent WorkBuddy, making more than 30 specialist research agents and skills available to users. The initial offering supports literature analysis, hypothesis development, study design, modeling and simulation, validation, and research communication. Users can access ScienceOra through WorkBuddy’s app discovery section for support across the research process, from exploring a new field to conducting advanced research and making informed scientific decisions.
ScienceOra is powered by the ScienceOne Scientific Foundation Model, which was developed as part of a Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS)-coordinated initiative. Building on that foundation and on Wenge AI’s long-standing work in scientific data, research tools, and decision AI, ScienceOra brings specialized research knowledge, tools, and agent capabilities into one system, extending AI from knowledge retrieval and content generation to the execution of complex research tasks and support for scientific decision-making.
Covering core scenarios across disciplines
Scientific research involves a great deal of specialized work at every stage, from reviewing the literature and formulating hypotheses to designing experiments, analyzing data, validating findings, and publishing papers. Researchers everywhere face the same questions: how to spot valuable leads in a vast body of literature, how to synthesize scientific evidence and carry complex projects forward, and how to make sound scientific judgments between competing options. ScienceOra on WorkBuddy addresses both general research needs and discipline-specific work, organized around three levels of support — getting started, advanced research, and expert decision-making — for users across disciplines and at different stages of their work.
Getting started in research
At the first level, ScienceOra helps researchers turn a mass of information into a structured understanding of a field. Its agents cover academic literature research, comparative literature analysis, in-depth paper analysis, and literature review mapping; its skills cover literature search, multi-paper comparison, and structured close reading. Together they help researchers trace how a field has developed, compare the core arguments and methods of different studies, and identify research gaps. Beyond finding and summarizing literature, the AI can examine the evidence, conclusions, and limitations of different studies around a specific scientific question, offering reference points for further work.
Advanced research
For advanced research, ScienceOra helps researchers move from analyzing existing knowledge to carrying out specialized tasks. It supports evidence synthesis, study design, and domain-specific data analysis in areas such as systematic reviews and meta-analyses, molecular biology and multi-omics, and drug developability assessment.
In drug development, for example, researchers assessing a candidate molecule’s developability can work with specialist agents to plan experiments, molecular modeling, and simulations, then draw on experimental data to explore validation strategies and opportunities for optimization. ScienceOra also offers manuscript editing, manuscript formatting to meet journal requirements, and research slide deck generation, helping researchers organize, communicate, and present their findings.
Expert decisions
To support expert decision-making, ScienceOra helps researchers weigh scientific evidence and evaluate competing options in rice breeding, materials science, drug development, and research evaluation. Its agents include the Yuandao Siyuan AI breeding scientist, a materials characterization and validation scientist, and an alloy thermodynamics and phase-field simulation scientist.
Yuandao Siyuan is a specialized ScienceOra application for rice breeding. The agent is built on the Yuandao Siyuan intelligent breeding platform, jointly developed by the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Wenge AI, and launched this month at the Yuelu Mountain Laboratory in Changsha. The name pays tribute to hybrid-rice pioneer Yuan Longping and evokes the Chinese saying “When drinking water, remember its source.” Drawing on dedicated breeding resources and a knowledge graph, it supports searches for variety approval records and germplasm resources, pedigree tracing, and the tracing of research literature to its sources.
In new materials development, researchers can draw on X-ray diffraction (XRD) phase analysis, structural characterization, and published evidence to compare candidate materials in terms of properties, structural stability, fabrication costs, and potential risks, informing materials selection and subsequent experimental validation.
For research evaluation, a general-purpose reviewer agent and a range of peer-review simulation skills help assess the quality of a study, including its originality, performance against existing benchmarks, methodological rigor, and experimental design. These capabilities help researchers efficiently identify key scientific questions and promising avenues for innovation, supporting the choice of research topics and the evaluation of technical approaches.
Extending decision AI into research workflows
By combining domain knowledge, scientific data, research tools, and agent capabilities, ScienceOra extends research AI beyond question answering and content generation to complex research tasks and decision support. This brings AI into day-to-day research workflows, helping researchers work more efficiently.
This integration with Tencent WorkBuddy is another step in Wenge AI’s effort to make specialized research AI available to more users. Through the WorkBuddy app ecosystem, ScienceOra brings its agents and skills into everyday workflows, giving researchers, university faculty and students, and other learners more convenient access to research AI tools.
Going forward, Wenge AI will continue to expand ScienceOra’s research capabilities and deepen the integration of decision AI into research settings, making scientific knowledge easier to access, research more efficient, and professional decisions better grounded in evidence.

KaarTech Introduces KEOS to Help Enterprises Scale AI Across Business Operations
Published
51 minutes agoon
October 27, 2026By
KEOS combines enterprise intelligence and governed AI execution across four offerings: AI-led Transformation, Enterprise AI, Phygital and AI For Growth.
CHENNAI, India, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — KaarTech today announced KEOS, an operating layer for enterprise intelligence designed to help organisations move beyond isolated AI initiatives and embed intelligence across their business. KEOS connects enterprise systems, knowledge and operational context to help organisations make informed decisions and deploy governed AI agents at scale.
As AI adoption expands, enterprises face a common challenge: disconnected systems and fragmented business knowledge prevent AI from understanding how the organisation works. KEOS addresses this by building a shared understanding of enterprise processes, data and assets, providing the context AI needs to support decisions and execute actions within defined controls.
KEOS brings together enterprise discovery, an ontology and knowledge graph, and a Context Lake that combines enterprise knowledge with operational memory. Together, these capabilities form an Enterprise Digital Twin, a living representation of how the organisation operates. An Agent Factory and Enterprise Agent OS build on this foundation to create, orchestrate and operate governed AI agents.
Ratnakumar Nagarajan, CAIO, KaarTech, said:
“Each part of the business has different requirements, but all need reliable context and clear controls. KEOS provides a common architecture that teams can extend to their domain. They can start with a defined use case, validate how agents perform and expand as they establish value.”
KEOS delivers this vision through four offerings:
AI-led Transformation: Embeds specialised AI agents across the SAP Activate lifecycle, from landscape discovery and AI readiness assessment to migration, testing and ongoing operations. The offering helps organisations accelerate transformation while maintaining visibility and control over agent activity.Enterprise AI: Brings enterprise data, AI infrastructure, security and governance together to support contextual AI across applications and operations. It helps organisations establish AI foundations aligned with their sovereignty, deployment and data requirements.Phygital: Connects physical assets and field operations with AI through sensor, operational and enterprise data. Applications include predictive maintenance, digital twins and connected-worker copilots that support maintenance and safety decisions.AI For Growth: Applies AI across marketing, sales and commercial operations, including forecasting, pricing, customer expansion and aftermarket services. It helps organisations connect fragmented workflows and use business intelligence to identify revenue opportunities and improve execution.
KaarTech supports KEOS adoption through its Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) model, with more than 500 FDEs as of October 2026. The company plans to transition 100% of its employees into FDE roles by March 2027, extending this delivery model across its workforce.
Across these offerings, KEOS connects information from enterprise applications such as ERP, CRM and supply chain systems with operational technology, engineering models, documents and external intelligence. This shared business context allows organisations to extend AI across use cases without rebuilding enterprise understanding for each application.
Governance forms part of the KEOS architecture through a common control plane covering identity, access policies, data privacy, auditability and human approval. Evaluation and observability capabilities support oversight of AI behaviour and operating costs, helping organisations define what AI can access, which actions it can take and when people must remain involved.
Organisations can adopt KEOS within one business domain, establish enterprise understanding and initial governed agents, and then expand across additional workflows. Deployment options include customer-cloud environments, isolated air-gapped environments and region-pinned SaaS, selected according to customer policies and data requirements.
About KaarTech
KaarTech is a global AI-led enterprise transformation firm with more than two decades of experience helping organisations modernise their businesses. With over 3,000 professionals across 15 global locations, KaarTech has delivered more than 3,300 projects for 450+ customers across North America, Europe, APAC and the Middle East.
