MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

"Our second quarter results once again demonstrated the benefits of our disciplined execution against our key strategic pillars, highlighted by continued momentum in bookings during the quarter and the ability to strategically deploy capital in support of our growth initiatives, including our recent acquisition of F.A.T.I.," stated Bruce Thames, President and CEO of Thermon. "We believe that we remain well positioned to benefit from several long-term secular growth drivers, including electrification, onshoring and decarbonization, which combined with our deep customer relationships, enabled us to generate 13% total order growth during the quarter, resulting in a book-to-bill of 1.14x and ending the period with record backlog of $215 million, an increase of nearly 30% from last year on a reported basis, and up 3% organically."

"The strength of our installed base and diversified end market exposure enabled us to report a second quarter revenue decline of only 7% despite continued weakness in our large project revenue, which declined 51% during the quarter," continued Thames. "Diverse, non-oil & gas end markets now represent over 70% of our total revenues, while our maintenance and repair-driven OPEX revenues account for over two-thirds of our revenue mix, resulting in a more durable revenue and profit stream across cycles. That said, while we have seen improved booking momentum in the second quarter and we expect this trend to continue, the timing of backlog conversion is extending given some of the larger contracts we have recently secured. This revenue timing issue in combination with the large project delays and macro uncertainty that has plagued our industry in recent quarters, will impact our second half results. As a result, we are lowering our 2025 revenue guidance to a range of $495 million to $515 million, which includes contribution from our recent acquisitions. However, given our strong execution and strict financial discipline, we expect 2025 Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $105 million to $110 million and Adjusted EPS in a range of $1.77 to $1.89."

"We made further progress on our manufacturing footprint rationalization plans during the quarter, having completed the consolidation of our Denver facility, and we continue to effectively manage expenses to demand in an effort to protect margins," stated Jan Schott, Senior Vice President and CFO of Thermon. "Our ongoing focus on financial discipline resulted in non-GAAP free cash flow of $6.7 million in the second quarter, bringing our year-to-date total to $15.5 million, up $16.8 million from the prior year period. With net leverage of 1.3x and total cash and available liquidity of $129.8 million at September 30, 2024, we have ample financial flexibility to execute on our capital allocation strategy, which prioritizes capital investments in organic growth, complementary bolt-on acquisitions, debt paydown, and our $50 million share repurchase authorization announced in early 2024."

"As we look forward, our optimism for our business and the opportunities that lie ahead remain as strong as ever," stated Thames. "Our continued investments in both organic and inorganic growth initiatives in recent quarters has further strengthened our competitive positioning and should enable us to be a key beneficiary of the powerful secular trends driving many of our end markets, including decarbonization, electrification, and digital transformation. As a result of our favorable strategic positioning, combined with our commitment to operational excellence and disciplined capital allocation, we are well positioned to drive profitable growth and deliver long-term value creation for all of our stakeholders."

STRATEGIC UPDATE

Thermon's long-term value creation strategy is driven by the disciplined pursuit of several key strategic pillars, including profitably growing the installed base, a focus on decarbonization, digitization, and diversification, operational excellence, and disciplined capital allocation. Key progress achieved during the second quarter against these initiatives is as follows:

• Profitably Grow the Installed Base. Customer spending for maintenance and repair needs has remained resilient in recent quarters, despite the broader market uncertainty impacting large project capital spending. Thermon has benefited from this trend by leveraging its long-standing customer relationships and deep installed base to more effectively serve its clients' evolving needs. OPEX-related revenue represented 85%of total revenues during the second quarter, resulting in an increased level of recurring revenues across higher-margin solutions.

• Decarbonization, Digitization, and Diversification. An important strategic priority has been to diversify the Company's end market exposure across a broader range of higher-value, more stable verticals. The Company has already surpassed its goal to generate at least 70% of revenues from diverse, non-oil & gas end markets by fiscal year 2026, with 70% of revenues generated by diverse end markets over the last-twelve-months, driven by a focus on expanding solutions in markets such as commercial, food & beverage, and rail & transit, as well as its acquisition of Vapor Power. During the second quarter, the Company was awarded two large, multi-year projects related to decarbonization opportunities in diverse end markets.

• Operational Excellence. Thermon's operational excellence initiatives are driven by a focus on customer performance, enhanced productivity, labor efficiency, and supply chain improvements. A key priority under this strategy has been rationalizing the Company's manufacturing footprint to improve asset utilization. Management recently completed the consolidation of its Denver facility as part of this strategy, which is expected to drive incremental savings of $0.8 million to fiscal 2025.

• Disciplined Capital Allocation. Thermon is dedicated to maintaining a strong and flexible balance sheet and optimizing capital deployment to drive value for shareholders. The recent acquisitions of Vapor Power and F.A.T.I. highlight the Company's focus on investment in growth initiatives. Additionally, the Company has repurchased $4.1 million under its $50 million share repurchase authorization thus far in fiscal 2025. While investments in growth initiatives remain the primary focus for capital deployment, the Company will remain opportunistic regarding share repurchases.

SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2025 PERFORMANCE

Second quarter revenue was $114.6 million, a decrease of 7.4% compared to same period last year, driven by ongoing headwinds in large project revenue, partially offset by contribution from the Vapor Power acquisition. Excluding Vapor Power revenue of $12.1 million, second quarter revenue declined 17.1% on an organic basis.

Gross profit was $50.9 million during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, a decrease of 6.5% compared to the second quarter of last year. Gross margin was 44.4% during the second quarter, up from 44.0% last year, as favorable revenue mix and improved profitability in OPEX sales was partially offset by relatively lower margins in the project business.

Second quarter operating expenses were $31.3 million, compared to $30.5 million last year owing to the incremental operating expenses from Vapor Power and ongoing investments to advance the Company's long-term growth strategy, partially offset by disciplined cost management.

Adjusted EBITDA was $23.8 million during the second quarter, down from $27.7 million last year due to pressure in large project revenue, partially offset by the contribution from Vapor Power. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 20.8% during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, down from 22.4% in the same period last year owing to investments in growth initiatives.

Backlog was $214.9 million as of September 30, 2024, representing a $48 million increase, or 28.8%, as compared to backlog of $166.9 million at September 30, 2023. Excluding backlog attributable to Vapor Power of $43.6 million at the end of the second quarter 2025, backlog increased 2.6% on an organic basis. Orders during the second quarter of Fiscal 2025 were $131.1 million compared to $116.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, an increase of $14.7 million, or 12.6% with a positive book-to-bill of 1.14x. On an organic basis, orders increased 2.7%.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Cash Flow

As of September 30, 2024, total debt was $165.8 million. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024, were $37.0 million, resulting in net debt of $128.8 million, up from $120.0 million at June 30, 2024. Net leverage was 1.3x at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2025, down relative to 1.5x after financing the Vapor Power acquisition.

Working capital decreased by 1.8% to $156.7 million at the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 2025. During the second quarter, cash from operating activities was $8.6 million and Free Cash Flow was $6.7 million, an improvement of $6.1 million from a Free Cash Flow of $0.6 million in the same period last year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Disclosure in this release of "Adjusted EPS," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA margin," "Adjusted Net Income/(loss)," "Free Cash Flow," "Organic Sales," "OPEX Sales" and "Net Debt," which are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), are intended as supplemental measures of our financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). "Adjusted Net Income/(loss)" and "Adjusted EPS" (or "Adjusted fully diluted EPS") represent net income/(loss) before the impact of restructuring and other charges/(income), ERP Implementation related cost, costs associated with impairments and other charges, acquisition costs, amortization of intangible assets, tax expense for impact of foreign rate increases, and any tax effect of such adjustments. "Adjusted EBITDA" represents net income before interest expense (net of interest income), income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition costs, costs associated with restructuring and other income/(charges), ERP Implementation related cost, and costs associated with impairments and other charges. "Adjusted EBITDA margin" represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. "Free Cash Flow" represents cash provided by operating activities less cash used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment, net of sales of rental equipment and proceeds from sales of land and buildings. "Organic Sales" represents revenue excluding the impact of the Company's acquisition of Vapor Power. "OPEX Sales" represents Point-in-Time Sales plus Over-Time Small projects. "Net Debt" represents total outstanding principal debt less cash and cash equivalents.

We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are meaningful to our investors to enhance their understanding of our financial performance and are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to compare our performance with the performance of other companies that report Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin or Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, Organic Sales, OPEX Sales and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, revenue, income from operations, net income, net income per share and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. We provide Free Cash Flow as a measure of liquidity. Our calculation of Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, OPEX Sales and Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For a description of how Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted Net Income, OPEX Sales and Free Cash Flow are calculated and reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP measures, see the sections of this release titled "Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA," "Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS," "Reconciliation of Point-in-Time and Over-Time to OPEX Sales" and "Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow." We are unable to reconcile projected Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable projected GAAP financial measure because certain information necessary to calculate such measures on a GAAP basis is unavailable or dependent on the timing of future events outside of our control. Therefore, because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature of and the amount of any potential applicable future adjustments, which could be significant, we are unable to provide a reconciliation for projected Fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS without unreasonable effort.
