A Letter from Our Board of Directors
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
As stewards of Trane Technologies’ long-term success, it is our privilege to report on the company’s achievements in 2025 and share our
confidence in the future.
Demand for sustainable, resilient infrastructure is accelerating, driven by the data economy, rising energy use and the need for efficient and
reliable systems. Trane Technologies is at the forefront of this transformation. Our advanced solutions reduce energy consumption, improve
operational performance and generate strong return on investment for our customers.
Amid a dynamic global operating environment, Trane Technologies once again achieved strong financial results in 2025. Highlights include:
• Reported revenues of $21.3 billion, up 7%; organic revenue growth of 6%*
• Adjusted earnings per share growth of 16%*
• Powerful free cash flow conversion of 98%*
Since launching Trane Technologies in 2020, we have delivered compound annual revenue growth of 11%, strong margin expansion, and
compound annual adjusted earnings per share growth of 24%. Our disciplined approach to capital allocation, including consistent dividend
growth, meaningful share repurchases and strategic acquisitions, continues to enhance shareholder value.
Sustainability remains a defining competitive advantage for Trane Technologies, and in 2025 we delivered meaningful progress across our
2030 Sustainability Commitments.
• As part of our Gigaton Challenge, we launched 110 new products designed to reduce energy use and emissions. Since our 2019 baseline,
we have reduced customer emissions by 331 million metric tons toward our commitment to eliminate one gigaton by 2030.
• Leading by Example, we continued to reduce our operational emissions, now down 59% since 2019 and ahead of our 2030 goal of a 50%
reduction. We also published new circularity impact metrics, an industry first, with a commitment to generate 10% of revenues from circular
products and services and to more than double the use of circular materials by 2030.
• Through Opportunity for All, we continued to invest in people and communities, highlighted by the opening of our Advanced Technology
Training Center for service technicians, and more than 100,000 employee volunteer hours in our communities.
Trane Technologies’ consistent financial and sustainability outperformance underscores the strength of our purpose-driven strategy, the
resilience of our business model, and the pride, energy and optimism of our global team. With our strong financial position, strategic
investments and industry-leading solutions, we are well positioned to deliver differentiated shareholder value in 2026 and beyond.
We invite you to review our 2025 Annual Report and 2026 Proxy Statement, along with our additional sustainability reporting at
www.tranetechnologies.com/sustainability, for a comprehensive overview of our performance.
Sincerely,
The Board of Directors of Trane Technologies plc

cash compensation to eligible participants based primarily on the achievement of outsized revenue performance beyond what is achievable under the Company’s
existing short-term incentive programs. Performance is measured over three annual periods representing the years ended December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Cash
payments related to performance achieved will be made in the quarter ended March 31, 2027. This adjustment represents amounts earned in the respective
performance period that will be paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2027 if the Company achieves specified revenue targets through the end of the performance
period. No payouts under the program are vested.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP
($ IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT
PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
For the year ended December 31, 2025
For the year ended December 31, 2024
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).
This supplemental schedule provides non-GAAP financial information and a quantitative reconciliation of the difference between the non-GAAP
financial measures and the financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.
The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in
accordance with GAAP. They have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our businesses as
determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures reported by
other companies.
As a result, one should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. We compensate for
these limitations by analyzing results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, prominently disclosing GAAP results and providing
reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP results.

Board Refreshment
Our Board composition reflects a diversity of experience and tenure. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require each non-employee
director to retire at the annual general meeting immediately following his or her 75th birthday, unless the policy is waived by the Board.
No such waivers have been granted to any of our directors.
Our company does not have term limits for directors, which enables the Board to retain key experience and experience while also including
fresh points of view in the governance of the Company. The following chart summarizes the Board tenure of our director nominees:
1 As of the Record Date April 9, 2026
Board Demographics
One of the three pillars of our 2030 Sustainability Commitments is Opportunity for All. Creating opportunity for all helps us drive innovation,
attract and retain talent to our growing company and industry, and meet the needs of our global customer base. To that end, the Board of
Directors is nominating five women directors (Ms. Arnold, Ms. Assis, Ms. Berzin, Ms. Miller Boise, and Ms. Schaeffer), one Black director
(Ms. Miller Boise) and two international directors (Ms. Assis and Mr. Lee) out of a total of 11 director nominees. The tenure and experience of
our directors is varied, which brings different perspectives to our Board. The profile of the director nominees as a group is illustrated below:

considering candidates, the Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider all factors it deems
appropriate, including breadth of experience, understanding of business and financial issues, ability to exercise sound judgment,
leadership, and achievements and experience in matters affecting business and industry. The Sustainability, Corporate Governance
and Nominating Committee considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials and believes that at a minimum each nominee
should satisfy the following criteria: highest character and integrity, experience and understanding of strategy and policy-setting,
sufficient time to devote to Board matters, and no conflict of interest that would interfere with performance as a director.
Shareholders may recommend candidates for consideration for Board membership by sending recommendations to the
Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, in care of the Secretary of the Company. Candidates
recommended by shareholders are evaluated in the same manner as director candidates identified by any other means.

Executive Compensation Highlights
The Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “HRCC”) is guided by executive compensation principles that shape the executive
compensation programs that the HRCC adopts to execute on the Company’s strategies and goals.
Executive Compensation Principles
Our executive compensation programs are based on the following principles:
(i)
business strategy alignment
(iii)
shareholder alignment
(v)
internal parity
(ii) pay for performance
(iv)
mix of short and long-term incentives
(vi)
market competitiveness
Executive Compensation Program Overview
The HRCC has adopted executive compensation programs with a strong link between pay and performance and the achievement of
short-term and long-term Company goals. The primary components of the executive compensation programs are base salary, Annual Incentive
Matrix (“AIM”) and long-term incentives (“LTI”). The HRCC places significant emphasis on variable compensation (AIM and LTI) so that a
substantial percentage of the five Named Executive Officers’ (“NEOs”) target total direct compensation (“TDC”) is contingent on the successful
achievement of the Company’s short-term and long-term performance goals.
Pay for Performance
A strong pay for performance culture is paramount to our success and encourages behavior that promotes long-term value creation for our
shareholders. Accordingly, each executive’s TDC is strongly tied to Company, business and individual performance against set goals. Within
our AIM Program, Company and business performance are measured against pre-established financial, operational and strategic objectives,
and modified by achievement toward the Company’s sustainability goals, which are all approved by the HRCC. Individual performance is
measured against pre-established individual goals, inclusive of a personal sustainability commitment, as well as demonstrated leadership
competencies and behaviors consistent with our leadership principles. Additionally, a portion of the executive’s LTI award is earned based on
Company cash flow return on invested capital (“CROIC”) and total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to companies in the Standard & Poor’s
(“S&P”) 500 Industrials Index. In 2025, greater than 91% of our Chair and Chief Executive Officer’s TDC was performance-based and 81% of
our other NEOs’ average TDC was performance-based compensation.

Advisory Approval of the
Compensation of Our Named
Executive Officers
The Board of Directors recommends
a vote FOR advisory approval of the
compensation of our NEOs as
disclosed in the “Compensation
Discussion and Analysis,” the
compensation tables, and the related
disclosure contained in this
Proxy Statement.
The Company is presenting the following proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, which gives you as a shareholder the
opportunity to endorse or not endorse our compensation program for NEOs by voting for or against the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the Company’s NEOs, as disclosed in the “Compensation Discussion and
Analysis”, the compensation tables, and the related disclosure contained in the Company’s Proxy Statement.”
While our Board of Directors intends to carefully consider the shareholder vote resulting from this proposal, the final vote will not be binding on
us and is advisory in nature. At our 2025 Annual General Meeting, shareholders voted 90% in favor of the Company’s Advisory Approval of the
Compensation of the Company’s NEOs. The Board of Directors has determined, consistent with the shareholders’ vote on the matter in 2023,
to hold an advisory vote regarding the compensation of our named executive officers every year until the next vote on the frequency of such
advisory votes, which is currently expected to occur at the 2029 Annual Meeting of shareholders.
In considering your vote, please be advised that our compensation program for NEOs is guided by our design principles, as described in the
“Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement:
(i)
business strategy alignment
(iii)
shareholder alignment
(v)
internal parity
(ii)
pay for performance
(iv)
mix of short and long-term incentives
(vi)
market competitiveness
By following these design principles, we believe that our compensation program for NEOs is strongly aligned with the long-term interests of
our shareholders.
ITEM
Approval of Appointment of
Independent Auditors and
Authorization to Set Auditor
Remuneration
The Board of Directors recommends
a vote FOR the proposal to approve
the appointment of PwC as
independent auditors of the
Company and to authorize the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors
to set the auditors’ remuneration.
The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent external audit firm
retained to audit the Company’s financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting. In executing its responsibilities, the Audit
Committee engages in an annual evaluation of the qualifications, performance and independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”).
In assessing independence, the Committee reviews the fees paid, including those related to non-audit services. The Audit Committee has sole
authority to approve all engagement fees to be paid to PwC. The Audit Committee regularly meets with the lead audit partner without members
of management present, and in executive session with only the Audit Committee members present, which provides the opportunity for
continuous assessment of the firm’s effectiveness and independence and for consideration of rotating audit firms.
In addition, as part of its normal cadence, the Audit Committee considers whether there should be a regular rotation of the independent
auditors. The Audit Committee ensures that the mandated rotation of PwC’s lead engagement partner occurs routinely, and the Audit
Committee and its Chair are directly involved in the selection of PwC’s lead engagement partner.
The Audit Committee has recommended that shareholders approve the appointment of PwC as our independent auditors for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2026 and authorize the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors to set the independent auditors’ remuneration.
PwC has been acting continuously as our independent auditors for over one hundred years and, both by virtue of its familiarity with the
Company’s affairs and its professional competencies and resources, is considered best qualified to perform this important function. The Audit

Audit Committee Report
While management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the financial reporting process, including the system of
internal controls, the Audit Committee reviews the Company’s audited financial statements and financial reporting process on behalf of the
Board of Directors. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and to issue a
report thereon. The Audit Committee monitors those processes. In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with
management and the independent auditors regarding the fair and complete presentation of the Company’s results. The Audit Committee has
discussed significant accounting policies applied by the Company in its financial statements, as well as alternative treatments. Management
has represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements
with management and the independent auditors. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to
be discussed by applicable requirements of the PCAOB and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
In addition, the Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by applicable
requirements of the PCAOB regarding PwC’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with PwC
the auditors’ independence from the Company and its management in connection with the matters stated therein. The Audit Committee also
considered whether the independent auditors’ provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with the auditors’ independence.
The Audit Committee has concluded that the independent auditors are independent from the Company and its management.
The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits.
The Audit Committee meets separately with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the
results of their examinations, the evaluations of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board
has approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2025 (“2025 Form 10-K”), for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has selected PwC, subject to shareholder approval, as
the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures which require that the Audit Committee pre-approve all non-audit services that
may be provided to the Company by its independent auditors. The policy: (i) provides for pre-approval of an annual budget for each type of
service; (ii) requires Audit Committee approval of specific projects if not included in the approved budget; and (iii) requires Audit Committee
approval if the forecast of expenditures exceeds the approved budget on any type of service. The Audit Committee pre-approved all of the
services described under Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees. The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of all
such non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC.
ITEM
Renewal of the Directors’
Existing Authority to
Issue Shares
The Board of Directors recommends
that you vote FOR renewing the
Directors’ authority to issue shares.
Under Irish law, directors of an Irish public limited company must have authority from its shareholders to issue any shares, including shares
which are part of the Company’s authorized but unissued share capital. Our shareholders provided the Directors with this authorization
at our 2025 Annual General Meeting on June 5, 2025 for a period of 18 months. Because this share authorization period will expire in
December 2026, we are presenting this proposal to renew the Directors’ authority to issue our authorized shares on the terms set forth below.
We are seeking approval to authorize our Board of Directors to issue up to 20% of our issued ordinary share capital as of April 9, 2026
(the latest practicable date before this Proxy Statement), for a period expiring 18 months from the passing of this resolution, unless renewed,
varied or revoked.
Granting the Board of Directors this authority is a routine matter for public companies incorporated in Ireland and is consistent with Irish market
practice. This authority is fundamental to our business and enables us to issue shares, including in connection with our equity compensation
plans (where required) and, if applicable, funding acquisitions and raising capital. We are not asking you to approve an increase in our
authorized share capital or to approve a specific issuance of shares. Instead, approval of this proposal will only grant the Board of Directors the
authority to issue shares that are already authorized under our Articles of Association upon the terms below. In addition, we note that, because
we are a New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”)-listed company, our shareholders continue to benefit from the protections afforded to them
under the rules and regulations of the NYSE and the SEC, including those rules that limit our ability to issue shares in specified circumstances.
For example, under current NYSE rules, shareholder approval is generally required, with certain enumerated exceptions, to issue shares or
securities convertible into or exercisable for shares in one or a series of related transactions if such shares represent 20% or more of the voting
power or outstanding shares of the Company at or upon issuance. NYSE rules also require shareholder approval for an issuance of shares that
would result in a change of control of the Company, as well as for share issuances in connection with certain benefit plans or certain
related party transactions. Furthermore, we note that this authorization is required as a matter of Irish law and is not otherwise required for
PROPOSALS REQUIRING YOUR VOTE

other non-Irish companies listed on the NYSE with whom we compete. Renewal of the Directors’ existing authority to issue shares is fully
consistent with NYSE rules and listing standards and with U.S. capital markets practice and governance standards. As required under Irish law,
the resolution in respect of this proposal is an ordinary resolution that requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast.
The text of this resolution is as follows:
“That the Directors be and are hereby generally and unconditionally authorized with effect from the passing of this resolution to exercise all
powers of the Company to allot relevant securities (within the meaning of Section 1021 of the Companies Act 2014) up to an aggregate
nominal amount of $48,923,517 (48,923,517 shares) (being equivalent to approximately 20% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued
ordinary share capital of the Company as of April 9, 2026 (the latest practicable date before this Proxy Statement)), and the authority
conferred by this resolution shall expire 18 months from the passing of this resolution, unless previously renewed, varied or revoked;
provided that the Company may make an offer or agreement before the expiry of this authority, which would or might require any such
securities to be allotted after this authority has expired, and in that case, the Directors may allot relevant securities in pursuance of any such
offer or agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.”
ITEM
Renewal of the Directors’ Existing
Authority to Issue Shares for Cash
Without First Offering Shares to
Existing Shareholders
The Board of Directors recommends
that you vote FOR renewing the
Directors’ authority to issue shares for
cash without first offering shares to
existing shareholders.
Under Irish law, unless otherwise authorized, when an Irish public limited company issues shares for cash, it is required first to offer those
shares on the same or more favorable terms to existing shareholders of the Company on a pro-rata basis (commonly referred to as the
statutory pre-emption right). Our shareholders provided the Directors with this authorization at our 2025 Annual General Meeting on
June 5, 2025 for a period of 18 months. Because this share authorization period will expire in December 2026, we are presenting this proposal
to renew the Directors’ authority to opt-out of the pre-emption right on the terms set forth below.
We are seeking approval to authorize our Board of Directors to opt out of the statutory pre-emption rights provision in the event of (1) the
issuance of shares for cash in connection with any rights issue and (2) any other issuance of shares for cash, if the issuance is limited to up
to 20% of our issued ordinary share capital as of April 9, 2026 (the latest practicable date before this Proxy Statement), for a period expiring
18 months from the passing of this resolution, unless renewed, varied or revoked.
Granting the Board of Directors this authority is a routine matter for public companies incorporated in Ireland and is consistent with Irish market
practice. Similar to the authorization sought for Item 4, this authority is fundamental to our business and enables us to issue shares under our
equity compensation plans (where required) and, if applicable, will facilitate our ability to fund acquisitions and otherwise raise capital. We are
not asking you to approve an increase in our authorized share capital. Instead, approval of this proposal will only grant the Board of Directors
the authority to issue shares in the manner already permitted under our Articles of Association upon the terms below. Without this
authorization, in each case where we issue shares for cash, we would first have to offer those shares on the same or more favorable terms to
all of our existing shareholders. This requirement could undermine the operation of our compensation plans and cause delays in the completion
of acquisitions and capital raising for our business. Furthermore, we note that this authorization is required as a matter of Irish law and is not
otherwise required for other non-Irish companies listed on the NYSE with whom we compete. Renewal of the Directors’ existing authorization
to opt out of the statutory pre-emption rights as described above is fully consistent with NYSE rules and listing standards and with U.S. capital
markets practice and governance standards.
As required under Irish law, the resolution in respect of this proposal is a special resolution that requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of
the votes cast.
The text of the resolution in respect of this proposal is as follows:
“As a special resolution, that, subject to the passing of the resolution in respect of Item 4 as set out above and with effect from the passing
of this resolution, the Directors be and are hereby empowered pursuant to Section 1023 of the Companies Act 2014 to allot equity
securities (as defined in Section 1023 of that Act) for cash, pursuant to the authority conferred by Item 5 as if subsection (1)
of Section 1022 did not apply to any such allotment, provided that this power shall be limited to:
a.
the allotment of equity securities in connection with a rights issue in favor of the holders of ordinary shares (including rights to subscribe
for, or convert into, ordinary shares) where the equity securities respectively attributable to the interests of such holders are proportional
(as nearly as may be) to the respective numbers of ordinary shares held by them (but subject to such exclusions or other arrangements
as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient to deal with fractional entitlements that would otherwise arise, or with legal or
practical problems under the laws of, or the requirements of any recognized regulatory body or any stock exchange in, any territory, or
otherwise); and

capital of the Company as of April 9, 2026 (the latest practicable date before this Proxy Statement)) and the authority conferred by this
resolution shall expire 18 months from the passing of this resolution, unless previously renewed, varied or revoked; provided that the
Company may make an offer or agreement before the expiry of this authority, which would or might require any such securities to be
allotted after this authority has expired, and in that case, the Directors may allot equity securities in pursuance of any such offer or
agreement as if the authority conferred hereby had not expired.”
ITEM
Determine the Price at which the
Company Can Reallot Shares Held
as Treasury Shares
The Board of Directors recommends
that shareholders vote FOR the
proposal to determine the price at
which the Company can reallot
shares held as treasury shares.
Our open-market share repurchases (redemptions) and other share buyback activities may result in ordinary shares being acquired and held by
the Company as treasury shares. We may reissue treasury shares that we acquire through our various share buyback activities including in
connection with our executive compensation program and our director programs.
Under Irish law, our shareholders must authorize the price range at which we may reallot any shares held in treasury. In this proposal, that price
range is expressed as a minimum and maximum percentage of the closing market price of our ordinary shares on the NYSE the day preceding
the day on which the relevant share is reallotted. Under Irish law, this authorization expires 18 months after its passing unless renewed.
Granting the Board of Directors this authority is a routine matter for public companies incorporated in Ireland and is consistent with Irish
market practice.
The authority being sought from shareholders provides that the minimum and maximum prices at which an ordinary share held in treasury may
be reallotted are 95% and 120%, respectively, of the closing market price of the ordinary shares on the NYSE the day preceding the day on
which the relevant share is re-issued, except as described below with respect to obligations under employee share schemes, which may be at
a minimum price of nominal value. Any reallotment of treasury shares will be at price levels that the Board considers in the best interests of
our shareholders.
As required under Irish law, the resolution in respect of this proposal is a special resolution that requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of
the votes cast.
The text of the resolution in respect of this proposal is as follows:
“As a special resolution, that the reallotment price range at which any treasury shares held by the Company may be reallotted shall be
as follows:
a.
the maximum price at which such treasury share may be reallotted shall be an amount equal to 120% of the “market price”; and
b.
the minimum price at which a treasury share may be reallotted shall be the nominal value of the share where such a share is required
to satisfy an obligation under an employee share scheme or any option schemes operated by the Company or, in all other cases, an
amount equal to 95% of the “market price”; and
c.
for the purposes of this resolution, the “market price” shall mean the closing market price of the ordinary shares on the NYSE the day
preceding the day on which the relevant share is reallotted.
FURTHER, that this authority to reallot treasury shares shall expire at 18 months from the date of the passing of this resolution unless
previously varied or renewed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 109 and 1078 of the Companies Act 2014.”

Corporate Governance
Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, together with the charters of the various Board committees, provide a framework for the corporate
governance of the Company. The following is a summary of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and practices. A copy of our Corporate
Governance Guidelines, as well as the charters of each of our Board committees, are available on our website at www.tranetechnologies.com
under the heading “About Us – Corporate Governance.” Please note that the information contained on our website is not incorporated by
reference in, nor considered to be a part of, this Proxy Statement.
Role of the Board of Directors
The Company’s business is managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. The Board delegates to the Chief Executive Officer, and
through that individual to other senior management, the authority and responsibility for managing the Company’s business. The role of the
Board of Directors is to oversee the management and governance of the Company and monitor senior management’s performance.
Board Responsibilities
Among the Board of Directors’ core responsibilities are:
• Select individuals for Board membership and evaluate the performance of the Board, Board committees, and individual directors;

Board Leadership Structure
The positions of Chair of the Board and CEO at the Company have been held by the same person, except in limited circumstances, such as
during a CEO transition. This policy has worked well for the Company for many years. It is the Board of Directors’ view that the Company’s
corporate governance principles, the quality, stature and substantive business knowledge of the members of the Board, as well as the Board’s
culture of open communication with the CEO and senior management are conducive to Board effectiveness with a combined Chair and
CEO position.
In addition, the Board of Directors has a strong Lead Independent Director and it believes this role adequately addresses the need for
independent leadership and an organizational structure for the independent directors. The Board of Directors appoints a Lead Independent
Director from among the Board’s independent directors. The Lead Independent Director coordinates the activities of all of the Board’s
independent directors working with the Chair and CEO. The Lead Independent Director is the principal liaison with the CEO and ensures that
the Board of Directors has an open, trustful relationship with the Company’s senior management team. In addition to the duties of all directors,
as set forth in the Company’s Governance Guidelines, the specific responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director are as follows:

• Chair executive sessions of the Board’s independent directors;
• Serve as liaison between the directors and the Chair and CEO, as required;
• Provide advice and counsel to the Chair and CEO;
• Keep abreast of key Company activities and, in collaboration with the Board, advise the Chair and CEO as to the quality, quantity and
timeliness of the flow of information from management;
• Engage consultants who report directly to the Board and assist in recommending consultants that work directly for Board committees;
• Participate in the director recruitment process in conjunction with the Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee;
• Work in conjunction with the Chair and CEO and the Chair of the Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee to
identify for appointment the members of the various Board committees, as well as selection of the Committee chairs;

the Company. The Board of Directors has delegated to its various committees the oversight of risk management practices for categories of risk
relevant to their functions.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
• The Board of Directors focuses on the Company’s general risk management strategy and the most significant risks facing the
Company, and ensures that appropriate risk mitigation strategies are implemented by management. Examples of the types of risk that
our Board reviews as part of the Company’s risk management strategy include:

including Board level oversight for management’s actions with
respect to:
(1) the practices, procedures and controls to identify, assess
and manage its key cybersecurity programs and risks;
(2) the protection, confidentiality, integrity and availability of the
Company’s digital information, intellectual property and

material impact on the Company, including product and process
development technologies, manufacturing technologies and
practices, and the utilization of quality assurance programs.
MANAGEMENT
• The Company has established an Enterprise Risk Intelligence (“ERI”) program and an ERI Committee comprised of senior leaders who
are responsible for identifying, assessing, and managing strategic risks within the Company’s risk appetite and providing reasonable
assurance regarding the achievement of these objectives.
• Risks are prioritized based upon potential impact, likelihood and vulnerability; an owner is assigned to each risk area to develop a risk
mitigation strategy; and key risk indicators are utilized to track progress against these objectives. The risk universe is reviewed regularly
to ensure the Company is addressing any potential changes in the risk landscape.
• The Company has appointed the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) as its Chief Risk Officer and, in that role, the Chief Risk Officer
periodically reports on risk management policies and practices to the relevant Board Committee or to the full Board so that any
decisions can be made as to any required changes in the Company’s risk management and mitigation strategies or in the Board’s
oversight of the same. The Chief Risk Officer also reports on specific risks and risk mitigation action plans, including risk indicators to
track progress.

SPOTLIGHT: RISK OVERSIGHT
Business Strategy
One of the primary responsibilities of the Board of
Directors is to review and monitor implementation of
management’s strategic plans. Our Directors have deep
experience and expertise in strategic planning and
execution and use their experience to engage in active
dialogue with management. The Board of Directors
evaluates strategic plans through regular discussions as
part of Board meetings and during strategic planning
sessions dedicated to these topics.
Sustainability Matters
The Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
(“SCGNC”) of our Board of Directors oversees risks associated with
corporate governance and sustainability by monitoring the Company’s
performance against our sustainability objectives. The SCGNC also
evaluates social and environmental trends and issues in connection with
the Company’s business activities and makes recommendations to the
Board regarding those trends and issues.
The Technology and Innovation Committee assists the Board in its
oversight of the Company’s responses to certain environmental matters
including climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, energy-efficient
and low-emissions products and product life cycle and materials, and
supports the SCGNC as needed in its review of environmental and
sustainability practices.
Human Resources and Compensation
As part of its oversight of the Company’s executive
compensation program, the Human Resources and
Compensation Committee (“HRCC”) considers the impact
of the Company’s executive compensation program and
the incentives created by the compensation awards that it
administers on the Company’s risk profile. In addition, the
Company reviews all of its compensation policies and
procedures, including the incentives that they create and
factors to reduce the likelihood of excessive risk taking, to
determine whether they present a significant risk to the
Company. Based on this review, the Company has
concluded that its compensation policies and procedures
are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect
on the Company.
The HRCC reviews and discusses with the SCGNC and
the Audit Committee, as appropriate, the Company’s
“Human Capital Management” disclosure in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The HRCC also sets, reviews
and approves annual financial and sustainability factors
for purposes of the Company’s Annual Incentive Matrix.
The HRCC also reviews at least annually and discusses
with management key human resource management
initiatives related to leadership talent recruitment, retention,
culture and inclusion, pay equity and hourly wages. Finally,
the HRCC also oversees the Company’s stock ownership
and clawback/recoupment policies.
Cybersecurity
Our Board of Directors has ultimate oversight of the risks relating to our
cybersecurity program and practices. Our cybersecurity strategy is
overseen by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and directed
by our CFO. Our cybersecurity strategy, programs and policies are
designed to protect the Company’s most important information and
technology assets from an ever evolving landscape of threats. Our
program includes standard work designed to enable the Company to
respond to and recover from disastrous events, including ransomware
and other cybersecurity threats. Our Audit Committee:
• Maintains appropriate oversight of the Company’s Information
Technology, Operating Technology, and Product cybersecurity
governance, strategy and compliance.
• Oversees management’s implementation of cybersecurity programs
and risk policies and procedures and oversees management’s
actions to ensure their effectiveness in maintaining the integrity of the
Company’s electronic systems and facilities.
• Oversees the Company’s efforts to comply with regulatory
requirements relating to cybersecurity matters, including but not
limited to the implementation of any remediation or other measures
in response to regulatory findings.
Senior management briefs the Audit Committee regarding cybersecurity
at least two times per year and reports to the Board on a regular basis.
The Audit Committee is also informed on a quarterly basis of any
material cybersecurity matters. We have cybersecurity insurance and
we regularly review our policy and levels of coverage based on current
risks. All salaried employees and contractors with system access
complete an annual cybersecurity training program, where specific
threats and scenarios are highlighted, based on our analysis of current
risks to the organization.
The Technology and Innovation Committee supports, as requested, the
Audit Committee in its review of the Company’s information technology
and cybersecurity policies and practices.

Director Compensation and Share Ownership
It is the policy of the Board of Directors that directors’ fees be the sole compensation received from the Company by any non-employee
director. The Company has a share ownership requirement of five times the annual cash retainer paid to the directors. Directors cannot sell any
shares of Company stock awarded to them as part of director compensation until they attain such level of ownership and any sale thereafter
cannot reduce the total number of holdings below the required ownership level. Directors are required to retain this minimum level of Company
share ownership until their resignation or retirement from the Board.
Board Committees
The Board of Directors has the following committees: Audit Committee; Human Resources and Compensation Committee; Sustainability,
Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee; Technology and Innovation Committee; and Executive Committee. The Board of Directors
merged the Finance Committee with the Audit Committee effective June 5, 2025, and all duties and responsibilities of the Finance Committee
set forth in its charter were reallocated to other committees or reverted to the Board at that time.
The Board of Directors consists of a substantial majority of independent, non-employee directors. Only non-employee directors serve on the
Audit, Human Resources and Compensation, Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating, and Technology and Innovation
Committees. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of each of these committees is “independent” as defined in the
NYSE listing standards and the Company’s Guidelines for Determining Independence of Directors. Chairpersons and members of these
committees are rotated periodically, as appropriate. The Chair and CEO serves as the Chair of the Company’s Executive Committee.
The remainder of the Executive Committee is comprised of the Lead Independent Director and the non-employee director Chairpersons of the
Audit, Human Resources and Compensation, and the Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committees.
Board Composition
The Company’s policy on Board diversity relates to the selection of nominees for the Board of Directors. In selecting a nominee for the Board,
the Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the skills, expertise and background that would complement
the existing Board and ensure that its members are of sufficiently diverse and independent backgrounds, recognizing that the Company’s
businesses and operations are diverse and global in nature. The tenure and experience of our directors is varied, which brings varying
perspectives to our Board functionality.
It is the policy of the Board that non-executive directors may not serve on the board of more than four other publicly held companies without
the prior approval of the Board of Directors, except that any new board members shall be given a reasonable transition period to come into
compliance with the policy.
Board Advisors
The Board of Directors and its committees may, under their respective charters, retain their own advisors to carry out their responsibilities.
Executive Sessions
The Company’s independent directors meet privately in regularly scheduled executive sessions, without management present, to consider
such matters as the independent directors deem appropriate. These executive sessions are required to be held no less than twice each year,
but typically occur more frequently.
Board and Board Committee Performance Evaluation
The Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assists the Board in evaluating its performance and the performance of
the Board committees. Each committee also conducts an annual self-evaluation. The effectiveness and contributions of individual directors are
considered each year when the directors stand for re-nomination.

Director Orientation and Education
The Company has developed an orientation program for new directors and provides continuing education opportunities for all directors. In
addition, the directors are given full access to management and corporate staff as a means of providing additional information.
Director Retirement
It is the policy of the Board of Directors that each non-employee director must retire at the annual general meeting immediately following their
75th birthday unless this policy is waived by the Board.
Directors who change the occupation they held when initially elected must offer to resign upon a change in their occupation. At that time, the
Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the continued appropriateness of Board membership under the new
circumstances and makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors. Employee directors, including the CEO, must retire from the Board of
Directors at the time of a change in their status as an officer of the Company, unless the policy is waived by the Board.
Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that all of our current directors, except Mr. Regnery, who is an employee of the Company, are
independent under the standards set forth in Exhibit I to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are consistent with the NYSE listing
standards and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) rules. In determining the independence of directors, the
Board evaluates transactions between the Company and entities with which directors are affiliated that occur in the ordinary course of business
and that are provided on the same terms and conditions available to other customers. It is the Board’s general practice to hold independent
director meetings, without management present, in connection with regularly scheduled Board meetings.
Exhibit I to our Corporate Governance Guidelines is available on our website, www.tranetechnologies.com, under the heading
“About Us—Corporate Governance.”
Communications with Directors
Shareholders and other interested parties wishing to communicate with the Board of Directors, the non-employee directors or any individual
director (including our Lead Independent Director and Human Resources and Compensation Committee Chair) may do so either by
sending a communication to the Board and/or a particular Board member, in care of the Secretary of the Company, or by e-mail at
board@tranetechnologies.com. Depending upon the nature of the communication and to whom it is directed, the Secretary will: (a) forward the
communication to the appropriate director or directors; (b) forward the communication to the relevant department within the Company; or
(c) attempt to handle the matter directly (for example, a communication dealing with a share ownership matter).
Management Succession Planning
One of the core functions of our Board of Directors is to ensure leadership continuity and strong management capabilities to effectively carry
out the Company’s strategy. The Board collaborates with the Chair and CEO and the Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources
Officer on the succession planning process, including establishing selection criteria that reflect our business strategies, and identifying and
developing internal candidates. The Board also ensures there are successors available for key positions in the normal course of business and
for emergency situations.
The full Board formally reviews, at least annually, the plans for development, retention and replacement of key executives, and most importantly
the Chair and CEO. In addition, management succession for key leadership positions is discussed regularly by the directors in Board meetings
and in executive sessions of the Board of Directors. Directors become familiar with potential successors for key leadership positions through
various means including regular talent reviews, presentations to the Board and informal meetings.

Code of Conduct
The Company has adopted a worldwide Code of Conduct, applicable to all employees, directors and officers, including our Chair and CEO,
our CFO and our Chief Accounting Officer. The Code of Conduct meets the requirements of a “code of ethics” as defined by Item 406 of
Regulation S-K, as well as the requirements of a “code of business conduct and ethics” under the NYSE listing standards. The Code of
Conduct covers topics including, but not limited to, conflicts of interest, confidentiality of information and compliance with laws and regulations.
A copy of the Code of Conduct is available on our website located at www.tranetechnologies.com under the heading “About Us—Corporate
Governance.” Amendments to, or waivers of the provisions of, the Code of Conduct, if any, made with respect to any of our directors and
executive officers will be posted on our website.
Anti-Hedging Policy and Other Restrictions
The Company prohibits its directors and executive officers from (i) purchasing any financial instruments designed to hedge or offset any
decrease in the market value of Company securities, (ii) engaging in any form of short-term speculative trading in Company securities and
(iii) holding Company securities in a margin account or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.
Investor Outreach
We believe understanding both current and prospective shareholders’ perspectives and building strong relationships with the investment
community are integral to effective corporate governance. Our Board of Directors and management team are committed to the development
and execution of comprehensive outreach and communications programs that support and encourage open dialogue with shareholders to
achieve these goals. We actively utilize formal targeting, market surveillance, and corporate risk management tools to develop, track and
monitor our progress, and we regularly adjust our programs throughout the year to maximize the effectiveness of our engagement. Our
engagement program regularly includes our Chair and CEO, CFO and other members of our executive leadership team, including regional
segment leaders, business unit presidents and functional leaders.
How We Engaged with our Shareholders in 2025:
• We met with approximately 300 unique investors, including shareholders representing the majority of our active outstanding shares.
• We met with approximately 90% of our top 30 active shareholders and prospective holders, many of them multiple times throughout
the year.
• We held hundreds of meetings with shareholders, including 9 industry conferences, multiple non-deal roadshows, as well as onsite
meetings, company hosted events, videoconferences and teleconferences.
• During investor interactions, we regularly discuss issues such as Company strategy, financial performance, corporate governance,
sustainability, cash generation and capital deployment, innovation, and other opportunities and risks.
• We report our shareholders’ views around major topics, including sustainability, to our management team and Board of Directors on a
regular basis and proactively incorporate feedback into our investor engagement and communications programs.
Sustainability
At Trane Technologies, sustainability is core to who we are. Through the leadership of our CEO and senior leaders, we have embedded
sustainability into every aspect of how we operate and help our customers succeed. Our approach and initiatives are guided by an external
Advisory Council on Sustainability and regularly reviewed by our senior management and Board of Directors. Day-to-day, our Center for Energy
Efficiency and Sustainability team surveys the market landscape, continually bringing new ideas and requirements forward. This team is also
responsible for tracking and disclosing our progress.

There were five meetings of the Board of Directors in 2025. All incumbent directors serving as of the end of fiscal year 2025 attended at least
75% of the aggregate number of meetings held by the Board and their assigned committees during the period for which they served on the
Board or such committees. The Company’s non-employee directors held five independent director meetings without management present
during the fiscal year 2025. It is the Board’s general practice to hold independent director meetings in connection with regularly scheduled
Board meetings.
The Company expects all Board members to attend the Annual General Meeting, but from time to time other commitments prevent all directors
from attending the meeting. All of the members of our Board standing for re-election at the 2025 Annual General Meeting on June 5, 2025
attended the meeting.
Human Resources and Compensation Committee
Interlocks and Insider Participation
Our Human Resources and Compensation Committee is comprised solely of independent directors. During fiscal year 2025, no member of our
Human Resources and Compensation Committee was an employee, officer or former officer of the Company or had any relationships requiring
disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. None of our executive officers has served on the board of directors or compensation committee
of any other entity that has or has had one or more executive officers who served as a member of our Human Resources and Compensation
Committee or our Board during fiscal year 2025.

Compensation of Directors
Director Compensation
Our director compensation program is designed to compensate non-employee directors fairly for work required for a company of our size and
scope and to align their interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. The program reflects our desire to attract, retain and use
the expertise of highly qualified people serving on the Company’s Board of Directors. Employee directors do not receive any additional
compensation for serving as a director. Our 2025 director compensation program for non-employee directors consisted of the
following components:
ANNUAL RETAINER
■
Paid in Cash $142,500 (42%)
■
Paid in Restricted Stock Units*
$200,000 (58%)
* The number of restricted stock units granted is determined by dividing the
grant date value of the award, $200,000, by the closing price of the
Company’s common stock on the date of grant. A director who retires, resigns
or otherwise separates from the Company for any reason receives a pro-rata
cash retainer payment for the quarter in which such event occurs based on the
number of days elapsed since the end of the immediately preceding quarter
and immediately vests in any unvested restricted stock units.
ANNUAL CASH RETAINER FOR COMMITTEE CHAIRS AND MEMBERS, LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR AND
OTHER ELEMENTS
* The Finance Committee was merged with the Audit Committee effective June 5, 2025.
The Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee periodically reviews the compensation level of our non-employee
directors in consultation with the Human Resources and Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant and makes
recommendations to the Board of Directors. The current compensation program was established effective January 1, 2023.
Under our Incentive Stock Plan of 2018, the aggregate amount of stock-based and cash-based awards which may be granted to any
non-employee director in respect of any calendar year, solely with respect to their service as a member of the Board of Directors, is limited
to $1,000,000.
2026 Proxy Statement
35
Share Ownership Requirement
To align the interests of directors with shareholders, the Board of Directors has adopted a share ownership requirement of five times the annual
cash retainer paid to the directors. A director cannot sell any shares of Company stock until they attain such level of ownership, and any sale
thereafter cannot reduce the total number of holdings below the required ownership level. A director is required to retain this minimum level of
Company share ownership until their resignation or retirement from the Board.
2025 Director Compensation

At Trane Technologies, our purpose, to boldly challenge what's possible for a sustainable world, continues to shape our strategy. As a global
climate innovator, we are focused on advancing resilient and efficient solutions that meet the accelerating demand for sustainable
infrastructure, driven by growth of the data economy, rising energy use and the need for reliable systems. Through our 2030 Sustainability
Commitments, we lead our industry forward with actions that demonstrate environmental ambition, customer value and belief in creating
opportunity for all.
Over the past year, we executed with discipline and agility, navigating dynamic market conditions while delivering strong enterprise
performance. Our purposeful strategy, ongoing investment in innovation and strength of our business operating system enables us to create
meaningful value for shareholders and long-term benefits for our employees, customers, communities and the planet.
During the year, the Company experienced officer retirements, reflecting both the natural evolution of our executive leadership team and the
culmination of distinguished, long-tenured service. As part of this transition, the Company welcomed Gary Guo, Senior Vice President and
Chief Global Integrated Supply Chain Officer and Mauro J. Atalla, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer to
ensure continuity of leadership in critical enterprise functions.

2025 Say-on-Pay Vote
In making decisions regarding the structure of Trane Technologies’ executive compensation program and evaluating
potential changes, the HRCC considers direct shareholder feedback, including the results of the annual advisory vote
on executive compensation. In 2025, approximately 90% of shares voted were cast in favor of "Say-on-Pay". The
HRCC also reviews input from its independent compensation consultant regarding compensation practices within our
Compensation Peer Group, as well as third-party survey data, to assess relevant market conditions. Based on this
review, the HRCC determined that the core components of the executive compensation program remain
appropriate. For more information regarding our investor outreach and communications program, see page 29 of
this Proxy Statement.
Executive Compensation Program Overview
The table below reflects the primary components of our executive compensation program and the proportion of each component relative to
target total direct compensation (“TDC”). The HRCC seeks to provide performance-driven and competitive executive compensation programs
which are structured to attract and retain best-in-class leaders, incentivize and reward the achievement of short and long-term Company goals
and align the interests of executives with those of shareholders to provide sustainable value.
Component(a)
Chair and CEO
Other NEOs
Description of Component
Base Salary
Fixed cash compensation.
Annual
Incentive
Matrix (“AIM”)
Variable cash incentive compensation. Any award earned is based on
performance measured against pre-defined annual Revenue, Adjusted
EBITDA and Cash Flow objectives as set by the HRCC. These Core
Financial Metrics are subsequently adjusted based on the progress
made toward our 2030 Sustainability Commitments through a
modifier, and then multiplied by an individual’s performance rating,
which is also measured against pre-defined objectives.
Long-Term
Incentives
(“LTI”)
Variable long-term, equity-based incentive compensation. LTI
performance is aligned with the Company’s stock price and is
awarded in the form of stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”)
and Performance Share Units (“PSUs”). PSUs, which are granted
under our Performance Share Program (“PSP”), are payable based on
the Company’s CROIC and TSR performance relative to companies in
the S&P 500 Industrials Index.
(a)
See Section V, “Compensation Program Descriptions and Compensation Decisions”, for additional discussion of these components of compensation.
As illustrated, the HRCC places significant emphasis on variable compensation (AIM and LTI) so that a substantial percentage of each NEO’s
target TDC is contingent on the successful achievement of the Company’s short-term and long-term performance goals.

II. Compensation Philosophy and Design Principles
Our executive compensation programs are designed to align the compensation of our executives with the Company’s strategy and
performance with the goal of creating sustainable shareholder value. The HRCC makes compensation decisions by considering economic,
regulatory, investor and competitive factors, along with our executive compensation principles. The HRCC routinely reviews and evaluates the
philosophy, objectives and components of our executive compensation programs in relation to our short- and long-term business objectives
and has concluded that our compensation programs are designed with the appropriate balance of risk and reward that encourages prudent
risk-taking behavior.
The design principles that govern our executive compensation programs are:
DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND RATIONALE
HOW THIS IS APPLIED TO TRANE TECHNOLOGIES PRACTICE
Business Strategy Alignment
Our executive compensation programs allow
flexibility to align with Company or business
strategies. The programs focus individuals within
the Company’s business units on specific financial
measures to meet the short and long-term
performance goals of the business for which they
are accountable.
It is not only possible but also desirable for certain leaders to earn substantial
awards in years when their business outperforms against our Annual Operating
Plan, and for awards to differ based on enterprise performance year over year.
Conversely, if a business fails to meet its performance goals, that business’ leader
may earn a lesser award than their peers in that year. To provide a balanced
incentive, all executives have a significant portion of their compensation tied to
Company performance.
Pay for Performance
A strong alignment between pay and performance is
paramount to our success. Accordingly, each
executive’s target TDC is tied to Company, business
and individual performance against set goals.
Company and business performance are measured against pre-established
financial, operational and strategic objectives as set by the HRCC.
Individual performance is measured against pre-established individual goals as
well as demonstrated competencies and behaviors consistent with our
leadership principles.
In addition, a portion of the long-term incentive is earned based upon Company
CROIC and TSR, both measured relative to S&P 500 Industrial Index.
Shareholder Alignment
Our executive compensation programs align the
interests of our executives with those of
shareholders by incorporating key financial targets
such as Revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA, Cash
Flow, CROIC and TSR, while also addressing
sustainability opportunities.
Financial targets correlate with both share price appreciation over time and the
generation of cash flow for the Company, with a modifier that links incentive
compensation to the Company’s 2030 Sustainability Commitments. In addition,
our long-term incentives are tied to total shareholder returns and the effective use
of assets to generate cash flow. Other program requirements, including share
ownership guidelines for executives and vesting schedules on equity awards
further align executives’ and shareholders’ interests.
Mix of Short and Long-Term Incentives
A proper mix of short and long-term incentives is
important to encourage consistent behavior and
performance that support the achievement of the
Company’s annual financial objectives while
promoting the long-term sustainability of our
business and maximizing shareholder value.
The mix of pay is determined with a focus on the Company’s pay for performance
compensation philosophy and strategic objectives, as well as what is competitive
within the market.
Internal Parity
Each executive’s target TDC opportunity is
proportionate with the responsibility, scope and
complexity of their role within the Company, as well
as their skills and experience.
Comparable jobs are assigned comparable target compensation opportunities.
The Company conducts an annual global review of pay to promote pay equity and
to prevent discrimination on the basis of gender or, in the U.S., gender and race.
Market Competitiveness
Compensation opportunities must serve to attract
and retain high performing executives in a
competitive talent market.
Target TDC levels are set using applicable market benchmarks with consideration
of retention and recruiting demands in the industries and markets where we
compete for business and executive talent.
Each executive’s target TDC may be above or below the market benchmark
based on their level of experience, proficiency, performance and potential growth
relative to the duties required of their position.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

III. Analysis to Support the Determination of Target Total
Direct Compensation
The HRCC reviews and evaluates our executive compensation levels and practices against peer companies of comparable revenue, market
capitalization, industry and/or business fit with which we compete for executive talent (the “Compensation Peer Group”). During 2025, these
reviews were conducted throughout the year using a variety of methods and multiple sources of information such as:
• The direct analysis of the proxy statements of other global manufacturers and service providers (refer to peer group below);
• A review of compensation survey data of other global industrial companies of similar size and revenue published by independent
consulting firms;
• A review of customized compensation survey data provided by independent consulting firms; and
• Feedback received from external constituencies.
Many of the companies included in these compensation surveys are also included in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Industrials Index referred to in
our 2025 Form 10-K under the caption “Performance Graph.”
The Company’s positioning relative to the 2025 Compensation Peer Group, as of December 31, 2025, was as follows:

($B)
Trane Technologies
86.3
21.3
Compensation Peer Group Median

Trane Technologies Percentile Rank

46%
The HRCC, with the assistance of its independent advisor, conducts an annual evaluation of the Compensation Peer Group to ensure
continued alignment with the Company’s size, complexity and business strategy, while also seeking to maintain year-over-year consistency. As
part of the 2025 review, the HRCC removed Fortive Corporation and Lennox International Inc. and added 3M Company and Deere & Company
to better reflect the Company’s current scale, operating profile and strategic direction. The Compensation Peer Group, which is used to
benchmark executive compensation levels and inform program design practices, consists of the following fifteen global companies:
3M Company
Deere & Company
Honeywell International Inc.
Parker-Hannifin Corporation
Carrier Global Corporation
Dover Corporation
Illinois Tool Works Inc.
Rockwell Automation, Inc.
Cummins Inc.
Eaton Corporation plc
Johnson Controls International plc
TE Connectivity Ltd.
Danaher Corporation
Emerson Electric Co.
Otis Worldwide Corporation
In assessing the relationship of CEO compensation to compensation of other executive officers (including our NEOs), the HRCC considers
overall organization structure and scope of responsibility and also reviews the NEOs’ compensation levels relative to the CEO and to one
another. This ensures that the target TDC levels are set in consideration of internal pay equity as well as market references and each
executive’s experience, proficiency, impact, performance and potential growth relative to the duties required of their position.

IV. Role of the Human Resources and Compensation
Committee, Independent Advisor and Committee Actions
The HRCC, which is composed solely of independent directors, oversees our compensation plans and policies and equity-based programs
and reviews and approves all forms of compensation relating to our executive officers, including the NEOs.
The HRCC solely and independently decides the compensation components and the amounts to be awarded to our Chair and CEO. Our Chair
and CEO does not make any recommendations regarding his own compensation and is not informed of these awards until the decisions have
been finalized. Our Chair and CEO makes compensation recommendations related to our other NEOs and executive officers. The HRCC
considers these recommendations, along with those of its independent compensation advisor, when approving the compensation components
and amounts to be awarded to our other NEOs.
The HRCC is responsible for reviewing and approving amendments to our executive compensation and benefit plans. In addition, the HRCC is
responsible for reviewing our principal broad-based employee benefit plans and making recommendations to our Board of Directors for
significant amendments to, or termination of, such plans. The HRCC’s charter and annual agenda incorporates a broader range of human
capital topics beyond compensation, including corporate culture, opportunity for all and pay equity. The HRCC’s Charter is available on our
website at www.tranetechnologies.com.
The HRCC has the authority to retain an independent compensation advisor to review and provide guidance on our executive compensation
and benefit programs and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of such advisor. For 2025, the HRCC
continued to engage Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC (“Meridian”) as its independent compensation advisor. In this role, Meridian
provided the HRCC with the following services:
• Review and analysis of executive compensation benchmarking data for the Chair and CEO and other top executives as needed;
• Review and analysis of the Compensation Peer Group used to benchmark the Company’s executive pay levels, as well as the peer group
used for relative performance comparisons;
• Review of annual and long-term incentive designs, performance objectives and payout ranges;
• Preparation of ad hoc analyses for the HRCC to support decision-making around the executive compensation program; and
• Review and analysis of and advisement on management proposals and other key components of the executive compensation program.
The HRCC determined that Meridian is independent and does not have a conflict of interest. In making this determination, the HRCC
considered the factors adopted by the NYSE with respect to independence and potential conflicts of interest.

risk taking by ensuring that an
appropriate level of cash compensation
is not at risk.
Annual Incentive Matrix
(“AIM”) Program
Serves as an annual cash award tied to
the achievement of pre-established
financial, operational and strategic
performance objectives.
Amount of cash award earned cannot
exceed a maximum payout of 200% of
individual target levels and is also subject
to a clawback in accordance with our
clawback policy.
Each NEO has an AIM target expressed
as a percentage of base salary. Actual
AIM payouts are determined by
enterprise financial performance, regional
performance where applicable, progress
towards our 2030 Sustainability
Commitments and
individual performance.
Long-Term Incentive
Program (“LTI”)
Incentivizes executives to achieve
sustainable performance results,
maximize growth, efficiency and
long-term shareholder value creation.
Mix of stock options, RSUs, and PSUs
places a substantial portion of
compensation at risk and effectively links
equity compensation to shareholder value
creation and financial results.
• LTI: Stock Options/RSUs
Aligns management’s interests with those
of shareholders and bolsters retention.
Awards are subject to a clawback in
accordance with our clawback policy.
Stock options and RSUs are granted
annually, with stock options having an
exercise price equal to the fair market
value of ordinary shares on the date
of grant.
Both stock options and RSUs typically
vest ratably over three years, at a rate of
one third per year.
Stock options expire on the day
immediately preceding the 10th
anniversary of the grant date (unless
employment terminates sooner).
• LTI: Performance
Share Program (“PSP”)
Structured to align management’s
interests with those of shareholders.
Amount earned cannot exceed a
maximum payout of 200% of the
individual target shares granted and is
also subject to a clawback in accordance
with our clawback policy.
PSUs granted under the PSP are earned
or forfeited following the conclusion of a
three-year performance period based on
relative TSR and relative CROIC
compared to companies within the S&P
500 Industrials Index (with equal weight
given to each metric).
Actual value of the PSUs earned
depends on our share price at the time
of payment.

Base Salary
The HRCC conducts an annual review of base salary competitiveness for each executive officer, including the CEO, benchmarking
compensation against similarly situated executives within the peer group. Based on this assessment, the HRCC may approve adjustments
considering factors such as positioning relative to external benchmarks, overall Company performance, scope and impact of the role, internal
equity, leadership effectiveness, individual performance, and anticipated changes across the broader employee population. Salary adjustments
may be implemented over time to maintain market competitiveness and support the Company’s ability to attract and retain key talent.

Annual Incentive Matrix (“AIM”) Program
The AIM program is our annual cash incentive program designed to reward our NEOs for performance against key financial and strategic
priorities, including Revenue growth, Adjusted EBITDA improvement, strong Cash Flow generation, advancement of our 2030 Sustainability
Commitments and individual performance. The program is structured to provide participants with the opportunity to earn meaningful cash
incentives for strong performance relative to established goals. Each year, the HRCC approves a target award for each NEO, expressed as a
percentage of base salary. Actual payouts are determined based on achievement against pre-established performance objectives approved by
the HRCC. An executive’s final AIM award is determined by multiplying their individual AIM target by the resulting AIM Payout Percentage as
illustrated below. AIM payouts cannot exceed 200% of the target award. If the overall AIM payout score is less than 30%, no award is payable.

The AIM incentive opportunity is tied to pre-established financial goals for three equally weighted performance metrics (“Core Financial
Metrics”): Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Flow. These metrics reflect our focus on profitable growth, margin improvement and
disciplined capital management.
For each metric, threshold performance must be achieved before any payout is earned for that metric. The financial results generate payouts of
30% of target at threshold, 100% at target, and 200% at maximum performance, with results interpolated between levels. The overall financial
score represents the weighted sum of the payout percentages for the three Core Financial Metrics.
To reinforce the importance of sustainability in our business growth strategy, AIM payouts are subject to a modifier that may adjust results
upward or downward based on the Company’s progress toward the three pillars of our 2030 Sustainability Commitments (the “Sustainability
Modifier”). Beginning in 2025, the maximum impact of the Sustainability Modifier was reduced from +/-20% to +/-15%. This refinement reflects
our continued progress in embedding sustainability into core strategy and operating plans, while continuing to hold management accountable
for sustained progress. Such progress is evaluated as part of the HRCC’s holistic review of the Company’s key accomplishments and actions
taken during the year. The Sustainability Modifier cannot increase payouts above the overall AIM cap of 200% of target.
Individual performance scores reflect each NEO’s demonstration of our Leadership Principles and achievement of individual objectives aligned
with enterprise priorities and our bold 2030 Sustainability Commitments. Individual performance assessments are incorporated into the final
AIM award determination.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
46
For 2025 AIM purposes, Mr. Simmons was measured on a combination of Enterprise and Americas Region (60% Enterprise and 40%
Americas Region). Mr. Regnery, Mr. Kuehn, and Dr. Atalla were measured solely on Enterprise financial metrics. Mr. Guo was not eligible to
participate in the 2025 AIM program because his employment commenced during the fourth quarter of 2025.
The 2025 financial goals for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Flow were established in collaboration with the HRCC, taking into account
prevailing market conditions, external analyst consensus growth expectations and the HRCC’s assessment of appropriate rigor. Targets
generally align with the Company's publicly disclosed guidance for Revenue and Earnings Per Share and are intended to position the
Company’s expected performance in the top quartile of our industrial peer group. For 2025, the targets increased meaningfully compared to
2024 levels, including increases of at least 10% for Revenue and 20% for both EBITDA and Cash Flow. Performance against these goals is

2025 Performance reflects adjustments as summarized below.
(b)
Financial metrics generate payout of 30% at Threshold performance, 100% at Target performance and 200% at Maximum performance. Results are interpolated
between performance levels.
Under the AIM program design, the HRCC retains discretion to adjust the reported financial results to reflect items such as changes in
accounting principles, extraordinary or non-recurring gains or losses, or significant deviations from assumptions underlying the operating plan
on which targets were established. Such adjustments are made based on the HRCC’s independent review and recommendations from the
Chair and CEO. Revenue results are also adjusted to reflect the foreign exchange rates in effect when targets were set. These provisions are
intended to ensure payouts appropriately reflect underlying business performance, support alignment with the Company’s operating plan and
long-term strategy and avoid unintended inflation or deflation of awards.
Before approving annual cash incentive payouts for the 2025 performance year, the HRCC reviewed with management key accomplishments
and developments that could have affected financial performance against target. Following this review, the HRCC approved adjustments to
2025 results under the AIM program to neutralize the impact of two acquisitions completed during the year that were not contemplated when
performance measures were established: Marshall Thermo King Limited and the Thermo King business in Belgium & Luxembourg, both of
which closed in the first quarter. These adjustments, reflecting both positive and negative impacts, resulted in a net 0.4% decrease to payout
levels and were reviewed with the Audit Committee prior to approval by the HRCC. In addition, although tariff-related impacts were discussed
during the year, management did not recommend any adjustments to the AIM financial results or payout calculations. Management concluded
that such impacts were effectively managed within the Company’s operating performance and did not warrant modification of the established
performance outcomes.
In accordance with the AIM plan design, the financial performance results are then adjusted upward or downward by a Sustainability
Modifier. The Sustainability Modifier can have a positive or negative impact of up to 15% based on the Company’s progress towards our
2030 Sustainability Commitments.
As a sustainability-driven growth company, Trane Technologies exemplifies how embedding sustainability in business strategy and culture can
generate value for our customers and our shareholders. Our environmental sustainability objectives are science-based and aligned with our
2030 Sustainability Commitments, as well as our business performance and growth expectations, making them inherent in our Sustainability
Modifier. Through our commitments, we aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our worldwide operations, transportation fleets and
product manufacturing processes, and lead the transition to advanced technologies that lower customer emissions from product use.
Additionally, we believe that maintaining an uplifting culture drives our business success. We continually invest in our workforce to provide
opportunities for everyone to thrive at work and at home and to uplift communities.
In 2025, as part of the Company’s continued progress toward its 2030 Sustainability Commitments, greenhouse gas emissions from internal
operations were reduced by approximately 65,000 metric tons. In addition, product-related emissions, primarily associated with customer use,
were reduced by more than 90 million metric tons of CO2e. The Company also continued to expand opportunity across its workforce,
broadening access to career pathways and reinforcing Trane Technologies’ position as an employer of choice for highly skilled talent.
Based on a holistic review of the Company’s key accomplishments and actions taken during the year to advance progress toward its
2030 Sustainability Commitments, the HRCC determined that a +2% adjustment, was appropriate based on its evaluation of factors relevant to
the Sustainability Modifier. The calculated AIM financial score, inclusive of the Sustainability Modifier, was 95.0% for the NEOs aligned to
Enterprise performance and 99.6% for Mr. Simmons aligned to the Enterprise and the Americas performance.

design is not changing.

Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTI”)
In 2025, our CEO received stock options (40% weight), RSUs (10% weight) and PSUs (50% weight). For the other NEOs, our long-term
incentive program was comprised of stock options (25% weight), RSUs (25% weight) and PSUs (50% weight). This mix of equity-based
awards places a substantial portion of compensation at risk and effectively links equity compensation to long-term shareholder value creation
and financial results. LTI target awards for NEOs are established as dollar-denominated values and determined with reference to competitive
long-term incentive market data for executives in comparable roles within our peer group, as well as our overall long-term incentive mix. The
target award is converted into a number of shares (or share equivalent units) or stock options based on the fair market value of the Company’s
shares on the date that the award is granted.
Both stock options and RSUs generally vest ratably, one third per year, over a three-year period following the grant. Dividend equivalents are
accrued on outstanding RSU and PSU awards at the same time and at the same rate as dividends paid to shareholders. Dividend equivalents
on RSUs are only payable if the underlying RSU award has vested. At the time of vesting, one ordinary share is issued for each RSU, and any
accrued dividend equivalents are paid in cash. Dividend equivalents are only paid upon vesting on the number of PSUs actually earned and
vested. Dividend equivalents are payable in cash at the time the shares associated with vested PSUs are distributed unless the NEO elected to
defer the shares into our executive deferred compensation plan, in which case the dividend equivalents are also deferred and subsequently
settled in shares of our stock. No dividend equivalents are accrued on unexercised stock options.
Stock Options/Restricted Stock Units
The HRCC believes that granting a mix of stock options and RSUs provides an effective balance between performance and retention for our
NEOs, and conserves share usage under our incentive stock plan. Stock options are considered “at risk” since there is no value unless the
stock price appreciates during the term of the option period. RSUs, on the other hand, provide stronger retentive value because they have
value even if our stock price does not grow during the restricted period. The HRCC reviews our equity mix and grant policies annually to ensure
they are aligned with our pay for performance philosophy, competitive market trends, our executive compensation objectives and the interests
of our shareholders.
Performance Share Program (“PSP”)
Our PSP is an equity-based incentive plan designed to closely align the interests of our NEOs and other key executives with those of
shareholders. Under the PSP, participants have the opportunity to earn PSUs based on the Company’s relative performance in TSR and
CROIC compared to companies within the S&P 500 Industrials Index. We believe that the use of relative performance metrics reinforces a pay
for performance philosophy by rewarding executives for outperforming peer companies, rather than solely achieving predetermined absolute
goals that may not fully reflect evolving market conditions. Because relative measures adjust dynamically based on the performance of
companies within the S&P 500 Industrials Index, they provide a balanced and market-sensitive framework that mitigates the risk of fixed targets
becoming misaligned due to unforeseen economic or industry developments.
PSUs granted in 2025 are subject to a three-year performance period and may be earned or forfeited at the end of that period, with payouts
ranging from 0% to 200% of target. Vesting is determined based equally on the Company’s relative average CROIC and relative TSR
performance compared to companies within the S&P 500 Industrials Index.

• TSR is measured as the total stock price appreciation and dividends earned during the three years of the performance cycle. To prevent
an anomalous short-term change in stock price from having an inappropriate and outsized impact on payout levels, a 30-day average
stock price at the beginning and ending periods is used. TSR provides an effective tool for measuring relative performance among S&P
Industrial peers.
• CROIC is measured by dividing Free Cash Flow by gross fixed assets (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus Working Capital (Accounts and
Notes Receivable plus Inventory less Accounts and Notes Payable). CROIC is calculated in accordance with GAAP, subject to adjustments
for unusual or infrequent items; the impact of any change in accounting principles; and gains or charges associated with discontinued
operations or through the acquisition or divestiture of a business.
The HRCC retains the authority and discretion to make downward adjustments to the calculated PSP award payouts or not to grant any award
payout regardless of actual performance.

2025 Long-Term Incentive Awards
In 2025, the HRCC approved the target values for the annual long-term incentive awards granted to each NEO. These awards, comprising of
stock options, RSUs and PSUs, were determined based on the HRCC’s assessment of market competitiveness, each executive’s sustained
individual performance and their demonstrated ability to influence future business outcomes. The amounts reflected in the table below
represent only the regular, annual equity-based awards for 2025 and do not include any sign-on, make-whole, retention or other one-time or
special equity awards that may have been granted during the year.
The target values for the PSU awards differ from the corresponding values reported in the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of
Plan-Based Awards Table due to different methodologies used in assigning the economic value of equity-based awards required for
accounting and Proxy Statement reporting purposes. The HRCC makes equity award decisions based on grant date expected value while the
accounting and Proxy Statement values are determined in accordance with GAAP requirements. The PSU awards are earned, in part, based
on TSR performance relative to the S&P 500 Industrials Index over a three-year performance period, which requires valuations to take into
account the expected payout distribution from 0-200% of target for accounting and Proxy Statement purposes.

value consists of $400,000 in stock options, $400,000 in RSUs and $800,000 in PSUs. In connection with Mr. Guo’s commencement of employment, he received
sign-on RSU and PSU awards to replace forfeited equity compensation from his prior employer. These awards are subject to the same vesting and performance
conditions as the Company’s standard RSU and PSU awards. See the 2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for additional detail.

In connection with Dr. Atalla’s commencement of employment, he received sign-on stock option, RSU and PSU awards to replace forfeited equity compensation from
his prior employer. These awards are subject to the same vesting and performance conditions as the Company’s standard stock option, RSU and PSU awards. See the
2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for additional detail.
2023-2025 Performance Share Units Payout
As discussed above, PSUs for the three-year 2023-2025 performance period were earned based on the Company’s CROIC and TSR
performance relative to the companies in the S&P 500 Industrials Index.
• CROIC is measured as the average of the annual CROIC in each of the three years of the performance cycle. CROIC was 36.1% for the
2023-2025 period, which ranked at the 83rd percentile of the companies in the S&P 500 Industrials Index.
• TSR is measured as the total stock price appreciation plus dividends earned during the three years of the performance cycle. To account for
stock price volatility, a 30-day average stock price at the beginning and ending periods is used. TSR was 135.33% for the 2023-2025
period, which ranked at the 88th percentile of the companies in the S&P 500 Industrials Index.
PSUs for the 2023-2025 performance cycle achieved 200% of target levels as summarized in the table below.

Outperformance Incentive Program
As disclosed in our 2025 Proxy Statement, on February 6, 2024, the HRCC approved the adoption of a special three-year Outperformance
Incentive Program to drive the Company towards exceptional, profitable revenue growth beyond what is achievable under the Company’s
existing AIM Program, further aligning their interests with those of our shareholders. The program runs from January 1, 2024, through
December 31, 2026. As newly appointed officers, Mr. Guo and Dr. Atalla are eligible for prorated participation in the program, provided the
Company meets the required performance achievement. Payout opportunities range from 0% to 200% of target, with no payout earned unless
the Company achieves revenue growth over the full performance period; accordingly, no payouts have been earned or vested to date.
Threshold, target and maximum payout opportunities for the NEOs are shown in the 2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.

VI. Other Compensation and Tax Matters
Retirement Programs and Other Benefits
We offer a qualified defined contribution (401(k)) plan called the Trane Technologies Employee Savings Plan (the “ESP”) to our salaried
and non-union hourly U.S. workforce, including the NEOs. The ESP is a plan that provides a dollar-for-dollar Company match on the
first six percent of the employee’s eligible compensation that the employee contributes to the ESP. Employees receive a basic employer
contribution equal to two percent of eligible compensation in addition to the Company’s matching contribution. The ESP has several
investment options and is an important component of our U.S. retirement program.
We also have a nonqualified defined contribution plan. The Trane Technologies Supplemental Employee Savings Plan (the “Supplemental ESP”)
is an unfunded plan that makes up employer contributions that cannot be made to the ESP due to the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”)
limitation on the amount of compensation considered under the ESP or due to a deferral election under another nonqualified plan.
Supplemental ESP balances are deemed to be invested in the funds selected by the NEOs, which are the same funds available in the ESP,
except for a self-directed brokerage account, which is not available in the Supplemental ESP.
We maintain qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for our employees hired before July 1, 2012, including our NEOs, to
provide for fixed benefits upon retirement based on the individual’s age, compensation and years of service. These plans include the Trane
Technologies Pension Plan Number One B (“Pension Plan”), the Trane Technologies Supplemental Pension Plan (the “Supplemental Pension
Plan I”) and the Trane Technologies Supplemental Pension Plan II (“Supplemental Pension Plan II” and, together with the Supplemental Pension
Plan I, the “Supplemental Pension Plans”) and our supplemental executive retirement plan (the Key Management Supplemental Program
(“KMP”)). Effective as of December 31, 2022, accruals in the Pension Plan and the Supplemental Pension Plans have ceased for all employees.
In addition, in 2022, the HRCC elected to close the KMP to new entrants; however, current participants continue to accrue benefits. Refer to
the Pension Benefits Table and accompanying narrative for additional details on these programs.
Our Trane Technologies Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “EDCP I”) and the Trane Technologies Executive Deferred Compensation
Plan II (the “EDCP II” and, together with the EDCP I, the “EDCP”) allow eligible employees to defer receipt of a portion of their annual salary,
AIM award and/or PSP award in exchange for deemed investments in our ordinary shares or in the same funds available in the ESP, except for
a self-directed brokerage account. Refer to the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table for additional details on the EDCP.
We provide an enhanced, long-term disability plan to certain executives. The plan supplements the broad-based group plan and provides an
additional monthly maximum benefit if the executive elects to purchase supplemental coverage under the group plan. It has an underlying
individual policy that is portable when the executive terminates.
In light of the enactment of Section 409A of the Code as part of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, “mirror plans” for several of our
nonqualified plans, including the Trane Technologies Supplemental Pension Plan I and the EDCP I, were created. The mirror plans are the
Trane Technologies Supplemental Pension Plan II and the EDCP II. The purpose of these mirror plans is not to provide additional benefits to
participants, but merely to preserve the tax treatment of the plans that were in place prior to December 31, 2004. For the Supplemental
Pension Plans, the mirror plan benefits are calculated by subtracting the original benefit value to avoid double counting the benefit. For the
EDCP, balances accrued through December 31, 2004 are maintained separately from balances accrued after that date.
We provide our NEOs with the opportunity to participate in other benefits such as executive health and financial planning, which we believe are
consistent with prevailing market practices and those of our peer companies. In addition, for security and safety reasons and to maximize his
availability for Company business, the Board of Directors requires the Chair and CEO to travel on Company-provided aircraft for business and
personal purposes, unless commercial travel is deemed a minimal security risk by the Company. These other benefits and their incremental
cost to the Company are reported in “All Other Compensation” shown in the Summary Compensation Table.
Severance Arrangements
In connection with the recruitment of certain officers, we generally enter into employment arrangements that provide for severance payments
upon certain termination events other than in the event of a change in control (which is covered by separate agreements with the officers).
Mr. Regnery has such an arrangement in his employment agreement. In 2019 we amended our Major Restructuring Severance Plan, originally
adopted in 2012, to provide certain employees, including our NEOs, with certain benefits in the event of a termination of employment without
cause or for good reason under a Major Restructuring (as defined in the Post-Employment Section below). Although we do not have a formal
severance policy for our executives (other than in the event of a Major Restructuring), we do have guidelines that in most cases would provide
for severance in the event of termination without cause.
The severance payable under the employment agreement for Mr. Regnery and the benefits available in connection with a Major Restructuring
and under the severance guidelines are further described in the “Post-Employment Benefits” section of this Proxy Statement.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
2026 Proxy Statement

Change-in-Control Provisions
We have entered into change-in-control agreements with our NEOs. Payments are subject to a “double trigger,” meaning that payments would
be received only if an officer is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason within two years following a change in control. We provide
change-in-control agreements to our NEOs to focus them on the best interests of shareholders and assure continuity of management in
circumstances that reduce or eliminate job security and might otherwise lead to accelerated departures. Under the Incentive Stock Plan of
2018 (“2018 Plan”), time-based awards will only vest and become exercisable or payable, as applicable, on a change in control if they are not
assumed, substituted, or otherwise replaced in connection with the change in control. If the awards are assumed or continued after the change
in control, the HRCC may provide that such awards will be subject to automatic vesting acceleration upon a participant’s involuntary
termination within a designated period following the change in control. Furthermore, under the 2018 Plan, PSUs will automatically vest upon a
change in control of the Company based on (i) the target level prorated to reflect the period the participant was in service during the
performance period or (ii) the actual performance level attained, as determined by the HRCC. Outstanding PSUs would be prorated based on
the target for the actual days worked during the applicable performance period. Refer to the “Post-Employment Benefits” section of this Proxy
Statement for a more detailed description of the change-in-control provisions.
Tax and Accounting Considerations
Although we consider the tax and accounting consequences of our compensation programs, the forms of compensation we utilize are
determined primarily by their effectiveness in creating maximum alignment with our key strategic objectives and the interests of
our shareholders.
Timing of Awards
The HRCC approves and grants our regular annual equity awards, including any annual stock option awards, on the date of the HRCC's
February meeting, which is generally scheduled at least 18 months in advance and is held following the public release of our annual earnings
results. Neither the Board nor the HRCC takes any material non-public information into account when determining the timing or terms of such
awards. The grant date is never selected or changed to increase the value of stock options or other equity awards for executives. The
Company does not time the disclosure of any material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
The following table contains information required by Item 402(x)(2) of Regulation S-K regarding stock options granted to our NEOs in the last
completed fiscal year during the period from four business days before to one business day after the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K. The Company did not grant any stock options to our NEOs in the last completed fiscal year during the period from four business
days before to one business day after the filing of any of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, or the filing or furnishing of any
Current Report on Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information.

Stock options were granted under the 2018 Plan, which requires options to be granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the

Amounts in this column include the grant date fair value of the equity awards calculated in accordance with ASC 718. The Company cautions that the actual amount
ultimately realized by each NEO from the stock option awards will likely vary based on a number of factors, including stock price fluctuations, differences from the
valuation assumptions used and timing of exercise or applicable vesting. For a description of the assumptions made in valuing the equity awards see Note 14,
“Share-Based Compensation” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in its 2025 Form 10-K.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Clawback/Recoupment Policy
To further align the interests of our employees and our shareholders, our Board of Directors has implemented a clawback/recoupment
policy in accordance with SEC rules and NYSE listing standards to ensure that any excess incentive-based compensation awarded to
current or former executive officers is able to be recovered should the Company be required to prepare an accounting restatement due to
material noncompliance with any of the financial reporting requirements under the securities laws. Excess incentive-based compensation
in the policy means the amount of any cash or equity incentive-based compensation received by such executive officer based on the
material non-compliance with a financial reporting requirement that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise
would have been received in the absence of the accounting restatement, without regard to taxes paid on such incentive-based
compensation. Furthermore, the policy grants discretion to the HRCC to direct the Company to recover all or any portion of any cash or
equity-based awards previously paid to any other current or former employee of the Company whose conduct or misconduct either
resulted in, or could potentially result, in any form of reputational or financial harm to the Company. The policy recognizes exceptions to
the requirement to recover excess incentive-based compensation arising from an accounting restatement in the event (i) the direct costs
to recover the excess incentive-based compensation would exceed the amount of recovery, (ii), recovery of such excess incentive-based
compensation would violate home-country law where the law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022, or (iii) recovery would likely cause
an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations
thereunder. The HRCC has responsibility for overseeing the clawback/recoupment policy, and periodically reviews the policy to ensure
alignment with applicable law, industry best practices and Company values. For further information on the Company’s clawback/
recoupment policy, please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 5, 2026, and
available on the Company’s website at https://investors.tranetechnologies.com/.
Insider Trading Policy
The Company maintains an Insider Trading Policy that is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules,
regulations and NYSE listing standards. The policy is applicable to all directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors of the Company and its
subsidiaries in and outside of the United States, and also applies to related persons of any of the foregoing. It is also the policy of the Company
to comply with all applicable securities laws when transacting in its own securities, The full text of the Insider Trading Policy was filed as
Exhibit 19.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on
February 5, 2026, and available on the Company’s website at https://investors.tranetechnologies.com/.

Share Ownership Requirements
We impose share ownership requirements on each of our officers. These share ownership requirements are designed to encourage share
ownership by our officers and to further align their interests with our shareholders. Each officer must achieve and maintain ownership of
ordinary shares or ordinary share equivalents at or above a prescribed level. We use a multiple of base salary approach to determine our share
ownership requirements.
The requirements are as follows:

Based on the closing price on the record date of $460.11.
Our share ownership program requires the accumulation of ordinary shares (or ordinary share equivalents) over a five-year period following the
date the person becomes subject to share ownership requirements at the rate of 20% of the required level each year. Executives who are
promoted and have their ownership requirement increased have five years to achieve the new level from the date of promotion. Ownership
credit is given for actual ordinary shares owned, deferred compensation that is invested in ordinary shares within our EDCP, ordinary share
equivalents accumulated in our qualified and nonqualified employee savings plans as well as unvested RSUs. Stock options and unvested
PSUs do not count toward meeting the share ownership target. If executives fall behind their scheduled accumulation level during their
applicable accumulation period, or if they fail to maintain their required level of ownership after their applicable accumulation period, their right
to exercise stock options will be limited to “buy and hold” transactions, and any shares received upon the vesting of RSU and PSU awards
must be held until the required ownership level is achieved.
These ownership requirements have been met by all the NEOs who continue to be employed by the Company as of the record date.

made in determining the ASC 718 values see Note 14, “Share-Based Compensation,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in its 2025
Form 10-K. Mr. Guo’s stock award reflects a make-whole equity award consisting of RSUs and PSUs to compensate him for incentive compensation forfeited upon
departure from his prior employer. Dr. Atalla’s stock and option awards include his annual grant along with a make-whole equity award consisting of options, RSUs and
PSUs to compensate him for incentive compensation forfeited upon departure from his prior employer. See 2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for additional
detail. The ASC grant date fair value of the PSU award is spread over the number of months of service required for the grant to become non-forfeitable, disregarding any
adjustments for potential forfeitures. In determining the aggregate grant date fair value of the PSU awards, the awards are valued assuming target level performance
achievement. The table below includes the maximum grant date value of the PSU awards for the persons listed. If the maximum level performance achievement is

reflect amounts paid to or realized by the NEOs. For a discussion of the assumptions made in determining the ASC 718 values see Note 14, “Share-Based
Compensation,” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in its 2025 Form 10-K. Please see 2025 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table and
Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2025 Table for additional detail.
(e)
This column reflects the amounts earned as annual awards under the AIM program. Unless deferred into the EDCP II, AIM program payments are made in cash. For
2025, Mr. Kuehn elected to defer 15% of his AIM award into the EDCP II. Amounts shown in this column are not reduced to reflect deferrals of AIM awards into
the EDCP II.
(f)
This column represents the change in pension value for our NEOs under the Pension Plan, Supplemental Pension Plans, and the KMP, as applicable. The change in
pension benefits value is attributed to changes in eligible pay (including the annual AIM Award and any salary increases) and an additional year of service, excluding
Mr. Regnery, who has reached the maximum service limit in the KMP. Other external factors, outside the influence of the plan design, also impact the values shown in
this column. Examples of these factors include changes to mortality tables as well as interest and discount rates. Participants do not earn above-market interest in
any year.

Represents Company contributions under the Company’s ESP and Supplemental ESP.
(2)
The amount for Mr. Regnery represents tax equalization payments related to Irish taxes owed on $372,500, which is the portion of his income that is allocated to his
role as a Director of the Company and $9,782 of benefits in kind primarily due to spousal travel to the June 2025 Board meeting. Without these payments,
Mr. Regnery would be subject to double taxation on this amount since he is already paying U.S. taxes on this income.
(3)
For Mr. Regnery, this amount includes the incremental cost to the Company for personal use of the Company aircraft (whether leased or owned). For security and
safety reasons and to ensure maximum availability for Company business, the Board of Directors requires the Chair and CEO to use Company aircraft for both
business and personal travel, unless it is determined that commercial travel presents only a minimal security risk. Incremental cost for personal aircraft use is
determined based on the nature of the flight (personal or mixed use) and generally includes variable operating expenses such as fuel, maintenance, catering, landing
and related costs. Fixed costs that do not vary with usage (e.g., salaries, hangar and insurance) are excluded. For mixed-use flights where the personal portion
cannot be separately determined, the Company uses the cost of a comparable first-class commercial ticket as a proxy. Under the Company’s aircraft use policy, the
HRCC has determined that business use includes travel related to Company matters or otherwise benefiting the Company, such as travel to meetings of other
boards on which the Chair and CEO serves. For 2025, the amount reported for Mr. Regnery includes $35,353 associated with such business-related travel.
(4)
The amount includes medical services provided through an on-site physician under the Executive Health Program for all NEOs. For Mr. Regnery the amount also
includes the estimated year-over-year increase in the value of the retiree medical plan, calculated based on the methods used for financial statement as he is the
only NEO eligible for the subsidized retiree medical plan upon retirement.
(5)
These amounts include: (i) product rebates and Company-branded merchandise; (ii) spousal travel in connection with the June 2025 Board meeting, including
related meals and entertainment for Mr. Regnery and Dr. Atalla, (iii) a personal flight for Mr. Kuehn on Company-provided aircraft; and (iv) relocation expenses
incurred in connection with Mr. Guo’s hire.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

(a)
Target award levels under the AIM program are established annually each February and are expressed as a percentage of the NEO’s base salary. A description of the
HRCC’s process for establishing AIM target award levels is included in the CD&A under the heading “Annual Incentive Matrix Program.” The amounts reported in the
“Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards” columns represent the threshold, target and maximum award opportunities under the AIM program
for performance year 2025, which were paid in February 2026. Accordingly, the amounts shown in the “threshold,” “target” and “maximum” columns reflect the range of
potential payouts based on the target award levels approved in February 2025 for all NEOs. The AIM program provides no payout for performance below threshold.
Actual amounts paid pursuant to the AIM program are reported in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.
Target award levels for the special three-year Outperformance Incentive Program were established in February 2024. The program covers the performance period from
January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2026, and is designed to reward the achievement of outsized revenue growth over the three-year period. The amounts shown in
the “Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards” columns reflect the threshold, target and maximum payout opportunities under the program,
with Dr. Atalla and Mr. Guo’s prorated based on their respective employment start dates of January 6, 2025 and November 17, 2025. Earned payouts may range
from 0% to 200% of target, with no payout if the Company does not achieve revenue growth from the beginning to the end of the performance period; accordingly, no
payouts have vested to date. Revenue growth of 0.25%, 1.00%, and 2.00% above the AIM Revenue maximum performance level for 2025, corresponding to $21.968M,
$22.132M, and $22.351M, would produce payout levels of 25% (Threshold), 100% (Target), and 200% (Maximum), respectively. Based on revenue performance for
2024, 0% attainment in 2025, and assuming 100% achievement in 2026, eligible participants could earn an estimated payout of approximately 88% of target.
(b)
The amounts reflected in the “Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards” columns represent the threshold, target and maximum amounts for PSU
awards. The PSP pays $0 for performance below threshold. For a description of the HRCC’s process for establishing PSP target award levels and the terms of PSU
awards, please refer to CD&A under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Program” and the “Post-Employment Benefits” section below.
(c)
The amounts in these columns reflect the stock option and RSU awards. For a description of the HRCC’s process for determining stock option and RSU awards and the
terms of such awards, see CD&A under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Program” and the “Post-Employment Benefits” section below.
(d)
Stock options were granted under the 2018 Plan, which requires options to be granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the
Company’s ordinary shares on the date of grant. The fair market value is defined in the 2018 Plan as the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares listed on the
NYSE on the grant date.
(e)
Amounts in this column include the grant date fair value of the equity awards calculated in accordance with ASC 718. The Company cautions that the actual amount
ultimately realized by each NEO from the stock option awards will likely vary based on a number of factors, including stock price fluctuations, differences from
the valuation assumptions used and timing of exercise or applicable vesting. For a description of the assumptions made in valuing the equity awards see Note 14,
“Share-Based Compensation” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in its 2025 Form 10-K. For PSUs, the grant date fair value has been
determined based on achievement of target level performance, which is the performance threshold the Company believes is the most likely to be achieved under
the grants.
(f)
Mr. Guo commenced employment with the Company in November 2025. In connection with his appointment, the HRCC approved a make-whole equity award
consisting of RSUs and PSUs to compensate him for incentive compensation forfeited upon departure from his prior employer. In determining the value and mix of the
award, the HRCC considered the nature of the forfeited awards, including vesting schedules, performance conditions and remaining performance periods, together with
competitive market practices and alignment with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy. The RSUs vest over three years, consistent with the Company’s
standard equity vesting practices. The PSUs were granted to align with the Company’s ongoing Performance Share Program and are earned based on the same
financial and strategic performance metrics applicable to other NEOs. All components of the award are subject to the Company’s clawback policy, equity plan terms and
standard forfeiture provisions. The HRCC determined this make-whole award was necessary and appropriate to facilitate Mr. Guo’s successful transition to the Company
and it does not form part of his ongoing annual compensation program.
(g)
Dr. Atalla commenced employment with the Company in January 2025. In connection with his appointment, the HRCC approved a make-whole equity award consisting
of stock options, RSUs and PSUs to compensate him for incentive compensation forfeited upon departure from his prior employer. In determining the value and mix of
the award, the HRCC considered the nature of the forfeited awards, including vesting schedules, performance conditions and remaining performance periods, together
with competitive market practices and alignment with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy. The stock options and RSUs vest over three years, consistent
with the Company’s standard equity vesting practices. The PSUs were granted to align with the Company’s ongoing Performance Share Program and are earned based
on the same financial and strategic performance metrics applicable to other NEOs. All components of the award are subject to the Company’s clawback policy, equity
plan terms and standard forfeiture provisions. The HRCC determined that this make-whole award was necessary and appropriate to facilitate Dr. Atalla’s successful
transition to the Company and it does not form part of his ongoing annual compensation program.

2025 Pension Benefits
Mr. Regnery, Mr. Kuehn and Mr. Simmons each participate in one or more of the following defined benefit plans:
• the Pension Plan;
• the Supplemental Pension Plans; and
• the KMP.
The Pension Plan is a funded, tax qualified, non-contributory (for all but a small subset of participants) defined benefit plan that covers the
majority of the Company’s salaried and non-union hourly U.S. employees who were hired or rehired prior to July 1, 2012. The Pension Plan
provides for normal retirement at age 65 and the formula to determine the lump sum benefit under the Pension Plan is five percent of final
average pay (the five consecutive years with the highest compensation out of the last ten years of eligible compensation) multiplied by years of
credited service (as defined in the Pension Plan). A choice for distribution between an annuity and a lump sum option is available. The Pension
Plan was closed to new participants after June 30, 2012 and no further benefits will accrue to any Pension Plan participant for service
performed after December 31, 2022. In addition, any employee who was a Pension Plan participant on June 30, 2012 was provided the option
to cease accruing additional benefits in the Pension Plan effective January 1, 2013, and in lieu of further accruals in the Pension Plan, receive
an annual non-elective employer contribution equal to two percent of eligible compensation in the ESP.
The Supplemental Pension Plans are unfunded, nonqualified, non-contributory defined benefit restoration plans. The Supplemental Pension
Plans restore what is lost in the Pension Plan due to limitations under the Code on the annual compensation and benefits recognized when
calculating benefits under the qualified Pension Plan. The Supplemental Pension Plans cover all employees of the Company who participate in
the Pension Plan and who are impacted by the Code’s compensation and benefits limits. A participant must meet the vesting requirements of
the qualified Pension Plan to vest in benefits under the Supplemental Pension Plans. Benefits under the Supplemental Pension Plans are
available only as a lump sum distribution after termination and paid in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. As a result of the 2012
changes to the Pension Plan, the Supplemental Pension Plans were closed to employees hired after June 30, 2012, and no further benefits will
accrue to any Supplemental Plan participant for service performed after December 31, 2022.

2026 Proxy Statement

The KMP is an unfunded, nonqualified, non-contributory defined benefit plan available to certain key management employees on a highly
selective basis. The KMP is designed to replace a percentage of a key employee’s final average pay based on their age and years of service at
the time of retirement. Final average pay is defined as the sum of the key employee’s current annual base salary plus the average of the
employee’s three highest AIM awards during the most recent six years. No other components of compensation (other than base salary and
AIM awards) are included in final average pay. The KMP provides a benefit pursuant to a formula in which 1.7% of a key employee’s final
average pay is multiplied by years of service (up to a maximum of 30 years) and then reduced by the value of other retirement benefits the key
employee will receive that are provided by the Company under certain qualified and nonqualified retirement plans as well as Social Security.
Vesting occurs at the earlier of the attainment of age 55 and the completion of 5 years of service or age 65. For employees who began
participating on or after June 2015, there is a minimum 5-year service requirement from date of participation to date of retirement. Benefits are
only available as a lump sum after termination and paid in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. In 2022, the HRCC made the decision
to close the KMP to new entrants effective immediately. Mr. Regnery, Mr. Kuehn and Mr. Simmons participate in the KMP.
The table below represents the estimated present value of defined benefits for the plans in which Mr. Regnery, Mr. Kuehn and
Mr. Simmons participate.

(a)
Under the KMP, for officers covered prior to May 19, 2009, a full year of service is credited for any year in which they work at least one day. In the Pension Plan, the
Supplemental Pension Plans as well as the KMP for officers covered on or after May 19, 2009, the number of years of credited service is based on elapsed time
(i.e., credit is given for each month in which a participant works at least one day). The years of credited service used for calculating benefits under the Pension Plan and
Supplemental Pension Plan I and II are through December 31, 2022 and the KMP is the years of credited service through December 31, 2025. The years of credited
service used for calculating benefits under the Supplemental Pension Plan I are the years of crediting service through December 31, 2004 and the benefits earned under
this plan serve as offsets to the benefits earned under the Supplemental Pension Plan II.
(b)
The amounts in this column reflect the estimated present value of each NEO’s accumulated benefit under the plans indicated. The calculations reflect the value of the
benefits assuming that each NEO was fully vested under each plan. The present value of the accumulated benefits is calculated under each plan using the following
assumptions: (i) a discount rate of 5.38% for the Pension Plan; (ii) a discount rate of 4.77% for the Supplemental Pension Plans and KMP; (iii) retirement at age 65 and
(iv) the 2006 rates underlying the RP-2014 mortality tables projected to the 2014 base year using the MP-2017 projection scale and further projected generationally using
the MP-2020 projection scale. For the Supplemental Pension Plans and the KMP, additional assumptions include payment in a lump sum.
(c)
Under the provisions of the KMP, Mr. Regnery’s service is capped at 30 years.

2025 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
The Company’s EDCP is an unfunded, nonqualified plan that permits certain employees, including the NEOs, to defer receipt of up to 50% of
their annual salary and up to 100% of their AIM awards and PSP awards. Elections to defer generally must be made prior to the beginning of
the calendar year or performance period, as applicable. The Company has established a nonqualified grantor trust with a bank as the trustee to
hold certain assets as a funding vehicle for the Company’s obligations under the EDCP. These assets are considered general assets of the
Company and are available to its creditors in the event of the Company’s insolvency. Amounts held in the trust are invested by the trustee
using various investment vehicles.
Participants are offered certain investment options (the same investment options available in the ESP other than the self-directed brokerage)
and can choose how they wish to allocate their cash deferrals among those investment options. Participants are 100% vested in all amounts
deferred and bear the risk of any earnings and losses on such deferred amounts.
Generally, deferred amounts may be distributed following termination of employment or at the time of a scheduled in-service distribution
date chosen by the participant. If a participant has completed five or more years of service at the time of termination, or is terminated due to
long-term disability, death or retirement, the distribution is paid in accordance with the participant’s election. If a participant terminates without
meeting these requirements, the account balance for all plan years will be paid in a lump sum in the year following the year of termination.
A participant can elect to receive distributions at termination over five, 10, or 15 annual installments, or in a single lump sum. A participant can
elect to receive scheduled in-service distributions in future years that are at least two years after the end of the plan year for which they are
deferring. In-service distributions can be received in two to five annual installments, or if no election is made, in a lump sum. For those
participants who have investments in ordinary shares, the distribution of these assets will be in the form of ordinary shares, not cash.

deferred compensation plans.

Post-Employment Benefits
The following discussion describes the compensation to which each NEO would be entitled in the event of termination of such
executive’s employment.
Employment Arrangements and Severance Not in
Connection with a Change in Control
Mr. Regnery is entitled to severance in the event of his involuntary termination without cause pursuant to the terms of his employment
agreement. Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Regnery is eligible for a severance payment equal to two times his annual base
salary plus a prorated AIM award earned for the year of termination as determined and paid at the conclusion of the full performance year in
accordance with the terms of the AIM program.
Although the Company does not have a formal severance policy for officers, NEOs who do not have employment agreements providing for
severance and who are terminated by the Company other than for cause will generally be considered for severance benefits of up to
12 months’ base salary. Depending on the circumstances and timing of the termination, they may also be eligible for a pro-rated portion of their
AIM award earned for the year of termination as determined and paid at the conclusion of the full performance year in accordance with the
terms of the AIM program.
In addition, in general, the Company’s equity award agreements provide for the following treatment upon the occurrence of one of the specified
events in the table below:
Stock Options

case the awards vest based on
actual performance.
(a)
If retiree commences full-time employment with a competitor, any unvested awards will be forfeited.
In the event of a change in control or termination due to a Major Restructuring, severance would be determined pursuant to the terms of the
change-in-control agreements or the Major Restructuring Severance Plan described below in lieu of severance under the terms of the
employment agreements or the severance guidelines described above.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
64
Change in Control
The Company has entered into a change-in-control agreement with each NEO. The change-in-control agreement provides for certain
payments if employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the change-in-control agreements) or by the NEO for
“good reason” (as defined in the change-in-control agreements), in each case, within two years following a change in control of the Company.
Following a change in control, each NEO is entitled to continue receiving their current base salary and is entitled to an annual bonus in an
amount not less than the highest annual bonus paid during the prior three full fiscal years.
If an NEO’s employment is terminated “without cause” or by the NEO for “good reason” within two years following a change in control, the
NEO is entitled to the following:
• any base salary and annual bonus for a completed fiscal year that had not been paid;
• an amount equal to the NEO’s annual bonus for the last completed fiscal year pro-rated for the number of full months employed in the
current fiscal year;
• an amount equal to the NEO’s base salary pro-rated for any unused vacation days;
• a lump sum severance payment from the Company equal to three times (for the Chair and CEO), two and one-half times (for Mr. Kuehn,
Mr. Guo and Dr. Atalla) or two times (for Mr. Simmons) the sum of:
• the NEO’s annual salary in effect on the termination date, or, if higher, the annual salary in effect immediately prior to the reduction of the
NEO’s annual salary after the change in control; and
• the NEO’s target AIM award for the year of termination or, if higher, the average of the AIM award amounts beginning three years
immediately preceding the change in control and ending on the termination date.
A “change in control” is defined as the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any person unrelated to the Company becomes the
beneficial owner of 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s voting stock; (ii) the directors serving at the time the
change-in-control agreements were executed (or the directors subsequently elected by the shareholders of the Company whose election or
nomination was duly approved by at least two-thirds of the then serving directors) fail to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors; (iii) the
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation in which the Company’s voting securities outstanding
immediately prior to such merger or consolidation represent 50% or less of the combined voting securities of the Company immediately after
such merger or consolidation; (iv) any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than a sale or transfer with a
corporation where the Company owns at least 80% of the combined voting power of such corporation or its parent after such transfer; or
(v) any other event that the continuing directors determine to be a change in control; provided however, with respect to (i), (iii) and (v) above,
there shall be no change in control if shareholders of the Company own more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities
of the Company or the surviving entity or any parent immediately following such transaction in substantially the same proportion to each other
as prior to such transaction.
In addition to the foregoing, the NEOs would also be eligible to participate in the Company’s welfare employee benefit programs for the
severance period (three years for the Chair and CEO, Mr. Regnery, two and one-half years for Mr. Kuehn, Mr. Guo and Dr. Atalla and two years
for Mr. Simmons). For purposes of determining eligibility for applicable post-retirement welfare benefits, the NEO would be credited with any
combination of additional years of service and age, not exceeding 10 years, to the extent necessary to qualify for such benefits. Mr. Regnery is
the only NEO eligible for subsidized retiree medical benefits (only until age 65) due to his age and service as of January 1, 2003, when eligibility
for the retiree medical benefit was frozen. The Company would also provide each NEO up to $100,000 of outplacement services.
In the event of a change in control, participants in the KMP would be immediately vested. A termination within two years following a change in
control also triggers the payment of an enhanced benefit, whereby three years would be added to both age and service with the Company
under the KMP. In addition, the “final average pay” under the KMP would be calculated as 33.33% of his severance benefit under the
change-in-control agreement in the case of Mr. Regnery, 40% of the severance benefit under the change-in-control agreement in the case of
Mr. Kuehn and 50% for Mr. Simmons. These percentages reflect an annualized value of severance payments that would be provided in
accordance with their respective agreements.
Under the 2018 Plan, time-based awards will only vest and become exercisable or payable, as applicable, on a change in control (as defined in
the 2018 Plan) if they are not assumed, substituted or otherwise replaced in connection with the change in control. If the awards are assumed
or continued after the change in control, the HRCC may provide that such awards will be subject to automatic vesting acceleration upon a
participant’s involuntary termination within a designated period following the change in control. Further, under the 2018 Plan, PSUs will
automatically vest upon a change in control of our Company, based on (a) the target level, pro-rated to reflect the period the participant was in
service during the performance period or (b) the actual performance level attained, in each case, as determined by the HRCC.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
2026 Proxy Statement

Major Restructuring
The Company has adopted a Major Restructuring Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”) that provides a cash severance payment in the event
a participant’s employment is terminated due to an involuntary loss of job without “cause” (as defined in the Severance Plan) or a “good
reason” (as defined in the Severance Plan), provided that the termination is substantially related to or a result of a Major Restructuring. The
cash severance payment would be equal to two and one-half times (for the Chair and CEO) or two times (for other NEOs) (a) current base
salary, and (b) current target AIM award. As of December 31, 2025, the value of cash severance for NEOs was: Mr. Regnery, $10,293,750;
Mr. Kuehn, $4,000,000; Mr. Simmons, $2,775,000; Mr. Guo, $2,340,000 and Dr. Atalla, $2,275,000.
Participants would also receive a prorated portion of their target AIM award based on actual Company and individual performance during the
fiscal year in which termination of employment occurred. Participants in the KMP who are not vested in such plans would also receive a cash
payment equal to the amount of the benefit to which they would have been entitled if they were vested.
In addition, the Company’s equity awards provide that employees who terminate employment due to an involuntary loss of job without
“cause” (as defined in the applicable award agreement) or for “good reason” (as defined in the applicable award agreement) within one year of
completion of a Major Restructuring will, provided that the termination is substantially related to the Major Restructuring, (i) immediately vest in
all unvested stock options and may exercise all vested stock options at any time within the following three-year period (five years if retirement
eligible) or the remaining term of the stock option, if shorter, (ii) immediately vest in all RSUs, except that retirement eligible participants with at
least five years of service would continue their existing vesting schedule, and (iii) receive a prorated payout of outstanding PSUs based
on actual performance at the end of performance period. As of December 31, 2025, the value of unvested equity awards was:
Mr. Regnery, $45,564,152; Mr. Kuehn, $10,761,617; Mr. Simmons, $5,191,695; Mr. Guo, $2,412,651 and Dr. Atalla, $1,287,163.
A “Major Restructuring” is defined as a reorganization, recapitalization, extraordinary stock dividend, merger, sale, spin-off or other similar
transaction or series of transactions, which individually or in the aggregate, has the effect of resulting in the elimination of all, or the majority of,
any one or more of the Company’s business segments, so long as such transaction or transactions do not constitute a “change in
control” (as defined in the applicable plan).

(a)
For the “Involuntary without Cause” scenario, under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Regnery is eligible for a severance payment equal to two times his
annual base salary. For those NEOs who do not have a formal separation agreement like Mr. Regnery, the current severance guidelines permit payment of up to one
year’s base salary provided that such termination was not eligible for severance benefits under the Major Restructuring Severance Plan. Because of service, Mr. Kuehn’s
severance is equal to 50 weeks, Mr. Guo’s is equal to 40 weeks and Dr. Atalla’s is equal to 40 weeks rather than 52. For the amounts shown under in the “Change in
Control” scenario, refer to the description of how severance is calculated in the section above, entitled Post-Employment Benefits.
(b)
For the “Voluntary Resignation/Retirement” scenario, the amount shown is only provided in the case of a voluntary retirement; for resignation, the NEO would not
receive an AIM award. For the “Involuntary without Cause” scenario, the amount for Mr. Regnery represents the AIM award pursuant to the terms of his employment
agreement. For the amounts under the “Change in Control” scenario, these amounts represent the award paid in 2025 for the 2024 performance period based on the
change-in- control agreements in place.
(c)
For the “Involuntary without Cause” scenario, these amounts represent the cash value of the prorated PSU award payout to the NEOs as a result of their retirement
eligibility at December 31, 2025. For the “Change in Control” scenario for the NEOs, these values represent a pro-rated payment for all outstanding awards at target.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
2026 Proxy Statement
67
However, under the terms of the 2018 Plan, this payment could also be made based on actual performance with the payment amount being determined by the HRCC,
For the “Retirement,” and “Death/Disability” scenarios, amounts represent the cash value of the prorated portion of their PSUs that vest upon such events assuming
performance at target. Amounts for each scenario are based on the closing stock price of the ordinary shares on December 31, 2025 ($389.20).
(d)
The amounts shown for “Retirement,” “Involuntary without Cause,” “Change in Control,” and “Death/Disability” represent (i) the value of the unvested RSUs, which is
calculated based on the number of unvested RSUs multiplied by the closing stock price of the ordinary shares on December 31, 2025 ($389.20), and (ii) the intrinsic
value of the unvested stock options, which is calculated based on the difference between the closing stock price of the ordinary shares on December 31, 2025 ($389.20)
and the relevant exercise price. However, only in the event of termination following a “Change in Control” or termination due to “Death/Disability” is there accelerated
vesting of unvested awards. For “Retirement,” the awards do not accelerate but continue to vest on the same basis as active employees. Mr. Regnery is
retirement eligible.
(e)
In the event of a “Change in Control” and termination of the NEOs, the present value of the pension benefits under the, KMP and Supplemental Pension Plan would be
paid out as lump sums. While there is no additional benefit to the NEOs as a result of either “Voluntary Resignation/Retirement” and/or “Involuntary without Cause”, there
are differences (based on the methodology mandated by the SEC) between the numbers that are shown in the Pension Benefits Table and those that would actually be
payable to the NEO under these termination scenarios.
(f)
For the “Change in Control” scenario, these amounts represent the COBRA cost of health and welfare coverage (for medical, dental and vision) along with the cost of
basic life and AD&D, which is the cost for continued active coverage for the severance period.
(g)
For the “Involuntary without Cause” scenario, each NEO is eligible for outplacement services for a twelve-month period, not to exceed $11,400. For the “Change in
Control” scenario, the amount represents the maximum expenses the Company would reimburse the NEO for professional outplacement services.
CEO Pay Ratio
The ratio of our CEO’s total compensation to our median employee’s total compensation (the “CEO Pay Ratio”) is a reasonable estimate
calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. Due to the flexibility afforded by Item 402(u) in calculating the CEO Pay
Ratio, the ratio may not be comparable to CEO pay ratios presented by other companies.
We elected to maintain the same median employee for our CEO Pay Ratio calculation as in 2023, as there were no changes to our employee
population or employee compensation arrangements that would result in a significant change to our pay ratio disclosure. We identified our
median employee using our global employee population as of October 31, 2023. To determine our median employee, we used annual base
salary as our consistently applied compensation measure for 2023. For commission-based employees, actual earnings were considered their
base salary. In identifying our median employee, we further annualized pay for those full-time and part-time employees (but not seasonal and
temporary employees) who commenced work during 2023. We believe that annual base salary provides a reasonable estimate of annual
compensation of our employees.
We calculated the median employee’s total annual compensation in accordance with the requirements of the Summary Compensation Table.
Based on such calculation, our median employee’s total compensation was $67,812, while our CEO’s compensation was $27,262,157.
Accordingly, our CEO Pay Ratio was 402:1.

Pay Versus Performance
In accordance with the requirements prescribed in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the
relationship between executive compensation actually paid (“CAP”) and our financial performance for the prior five fiscal years.
For this purpose, CAP is determined in accordance with SEC rules by adjusting the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table by
(a) subtracting the change in pension value, if any, for the year; (b) adding the pension service cost for the year; (c) subtracting the grant date
fair value of equity awards granted during the year; (d) adding the year-end fair value of unvested equity awards granted during the year; (e) for
awards granted in prior years that vested during the year, adding the difference between the vesting date fair value and the fair value as of the
immediately preceding year-end; and (f) for awards granted in prior years that remain outstanding or unvested at the end of the year, adding
the difference between the year-end fair value and the fair value as of the immediately preceding year-end. These adjustments are shown
below. The table below provides CAP for our principal executive officer (“PEO”) (our CEO) and an average CAP for our non-PEO named
executive officers (“NEOs”), as well as other financial information as required. Please see the CD&A above for information regarding the
decisions made by the HRCC with respect to the compensation paid to our CEO and NEOs.

The First PEO represents our former CEO Mr. Lamach who became Executive Chair effective July 1, 2021 and retired December 31, 2021; the Second PEO represents
Mr. Regnery who became CEO effective July 1, 2021. The non-PEO NEOs represent the following individuals: 2021: Mr. Kuehn, Ms. Avedon, Mr. Camuti and Mr. Turtz;
2022 and 2023: Mr. Kuehn, Mr. Camuti, Mr. Turtz and Mr. Pittard; 2024: Mr. Kuehn, Mr. Simmons, Mr. Camuti and Mr. Turtz; 2025: Mr. Kuehn, Mr. Simmons, Mr. Guo
and Dr. Atalla. The amounts shown for each PEO are the amounts reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. The
amounts shown for the non-PEO NEOs are the average of amounts reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year for NEOs
other than the PEO.
(b)
The following table provides the calculation required to determine CAP in accordance with SEC rules. The CAP amounts reflected do not reflect the actual amount of
compensation earned by or paid to our NEOs. The fair values reflected in the Equity Compensation section are calculated in a manner consistent with the methodology
used to account for share-based payments in our financial statements, as described in Note 14 to the 2025 Form 10-K. To determine equity award fair values for
purposes of calculating CAP in accordance with SEC rules, adjustments were made based on the stock price, updated Black-Scholes stock option assumptions, and
estimated Performance Share Unit payouts as of the year-end and vesting measurement dates.

AIM program are not the same as the Revenue listed for the CSM. Revenue results related to AIM are further adjusted for the impact of acquisitions and/or divestitures,
foreign exchange, changes in accounting principles, extraordinary items and unusual or non-recurring gains or losses, including significant differences from the
assumptions contained in the financial plan upon which the incentive targets were established. All adjustments are reviewed and approved by the HRCC.

Additional information about the performance measures used to calculate PEO and NEO compensation can be found in the discussions of our
short-term and long-term incentive programs in the CD&A under the headings “Annual Incentive Matrix (‘AIM’) Program” and “Long-Term
Incentive Program (‘LTI’)”. We believe the Company’s executive compensation program appropriately rewards our PEO and the other NEOs for
Company and individual performance, assists the Company in retaining our senior leadership team and supports long-term value creation for
our shareholders. These values demonstrate alignment of interests of our PEO and the other NEOs and our stockholders.

Information Concerning Voting
and Solicitation
Why Did I Receive This Proxy Statement?
We sent you this Proxy Statement or a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”) because our Board of Directors is soliciting
your proxy to vote at the Annual General Meeting. This Proxy Statement summarizes the information you need to know to vote on an
informed basis.
Why Are There Two Sets of Financial Statements
Covering the Same Fiscal Period?
U.S. securities laws require us to send you our 2025 Form 10-K, which includes our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
These financial statements are included in the mailing of this Proxy Statement. Irish law also requires us to provide you with our Irish Financial
Statements for our 2025 fiscal year, including the reports of our Directors and auditors thereon, which accounts have been prepared in
accordance with Irish law. The Irish Financial Statements are available on the Company’s website at www.tranetechnologies.com under the
heading “Investors – Irish Statutory Accounts” and will be laid before the Annual General Meeting.
How Do I Attend the Annual General Meeting?
We strongly encourage all shareholders to submit proxy forms to ensure they can vote and be represented at the Annual General Meeting
without attending in person.
It is possible the Annual General Meeting may be adjourned to a different time and/or venue, in each case notification of such adjournment will
be given in accordance with Company’s constitution. Any announcements of changes or updates to the arrangements for the Annual General
Meeting will be made available at www.tranetechnologies.com.
In the event that the Annual General Meeting can proceed as normal, in order to be admitted, you must present a form of personal
identification and evidence of share ownership.
If you are a shareholder of record, evidence of share ownership will be either (1) an admission ticket, which is attached to the proxy card and
must be separated from the proxy card and kept for presentation at the meeting if you vote your proxy by mail, or (2) a Notice.
If you own your shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record (“street name holders”), evidence of share ownership will be either
(1) your most recent bank or brokerage account statement, or (2) a Notice. If you would rather have an admission ticket, you can obtain one in
advance by mailing a written request, along with proof of your ownership of the Company’s ordinary shares, to:
Secretary
Trane Technologies plc
170/175 Lakeview Dr.
Airside Business Park
Swords, Co. Dublin
Ireland
No cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices, large bags, briefcases or packages will be
permitted at the Annual General Meeting.
2026 Proxy Statement
73
Who May Vote?
You are entitled to vote if you beneficially owned the Company’s ordinary shares at the close of business on April 9, 2026, the Record Date. At
that time, there were 221,122,077 of the Company’s ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Each ordinary share that you own
entitles you to one vote on all matters to be voted on a poll at the Annual General Meeting.
How Do I Vote?
Shareholders of record can cast their votes by proxy by:
• using the Internet and voting at www.proxyvote.com;
• calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the telephone prompts; or
• completing, signing and returning a proxy card by mail.
If you received a Notice and did not receive a proxy card, you may request one at sendmaterial@proxyvote.com.
The Notice is not a proxy card and it cannot be used to vote your shares.
If you are a shareholder of record and you choose to submit your proxy by telephone by calling the toll-free number on your proxy card, your
use of that telephone system and in particular the entry of your pin number/other unique identifier, will be deemed to constitute your
appointment, in writing and under hand, and for all purposes of the Companies Act 2014, of the persons named on the proxy card as your
proxy to vote your shares on your behalf in accordance with your telephone instructions.
Subject to guidance from the Government of Ireland at the time of the Annual General Meeting, shareholders of record may also vote their
shares directly by attending the Annual General Meeting and casting their vote in person or appointing a proxy (who does not have to be a
shareholder) to attend the Annual General Meeting and casting votes on their behalf in accordance with their instructions.
Street name holders must vote their shares in the manner prescribed by their bank, brokerage firm or nominee. Street name holders who wish
to vote in person at the Annual General Meeting must obtain a legal proxy from their bank, brokerage firm or nominee. Street name holders will
need to bring the legal proxy with them to the Annual General Meeting and hand it in with a signed ballot that is available upon request at the
meeting. Street name holders will not be able to vote their shares at the Annual General Meeting without a legal proxy and a signed ballot.
Even if you plan to attend the Annual General Meeting, we recommend that you vote by proxy as described above so that your vote will be
counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.
In order to be timely processed, your vote must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 3, 2026
(or, if you are a street name holder, such earlier time as your bank, brokerage firm or nominee may require).
How May Employees Vote under Our Employee Plans?
If you participate in the ESP, the Trane Technologies Employee Savings Plan for Bargained Employees, the Trane Technologies Retirement
Savings Plan for Participating Affiliates in Puerto Rico, or the Trane 401(k) and Thrift Plan, then you may be receiving these materials because of
shares held for you in those plans. In that case, you may use the enclosed proxy card to instruct the plan trustees of those plans how to vote
your shares, or give those instructions by telephone or over the Internet. They will vote these shares in accordance with your instructions and
the terms of the plan. The plan trustees will not disclose to the Company how any individual employee instructed the plan trustees to vote
their shares.
To allow plan administrators to properly process your vote, your voting instructions
must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 1, 2026.
If you do not provide voting instructions for shares held for you in any of these plans, the plan trustees will vote these shares in the same ratio
as the shares for which voting instructions are provided.
INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING AND SOLICITATION
74
May I Revoke My Proxy?
You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual General Meeting in any of the following ways:
• by notifying the Company’s Secretary in writing: c/o Trane Technologies plc, 170/175 Lakeview Drive, Airside Business Park, Swords, Co.
Dublin, Ireland;
• by submitting another properly signed proxy card with a later date or another Internet or telephone proxy at a later date but prior to the close
of voting described above; or
• by voting in person at the Annual General Meeting.
Merely attending the Annual General Meeting does not revoke your proxy. To revoke a proxy, you must take one of the actions
described above.
How Will My Proxy Get Voted?
If your proxy is properly submitted, your proxy holder (one of the individuals named on the proxy card) will vote your shares as you have
directed. If you are a street name holder, the rules of the NYSE permit your bank, brokerage firm or nominee to vote your shares on
Items 3, 4, 5, and 6 (routine matters) if it does not receive instructions from you. However, your bank, brokerage firm or nominee may not vote
your shares on Items 1 and 2 (non-routine matters) if it does not receive instructions from you (“broker non-votes”). Broker non-votes will not be
counted as votes for or against the non-routine matters, but rather will be regarded as votes withheld and will not be counted in the calculation
of votes for or against the resolution.
If you are a shareholder of record and you do not specify on the proxy card you send to the Company (or when giving your proxy
over the Internet or telephone) how you want to vote your shares, then the Company-designated proxy holders will vote your
shares in the manner recommended by our Board of Directors on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement and as the proxy
holders may determine in their discretion regarding any other matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting.
What Constitutes a Quorum?
The presence (in person or by proxy) of shareholders entitled to exercise a majority of the voting power of the Company on the Record Date is
necessary to constitute a quorum for the conduct of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as “shares present” for the
purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.
What Vote is Required to Approve Each Proposal?
A majority of the votes cast at the Annual General Meeting is required to approve each of Items 1, 2, 3, and 4. A majority of the votes cast
means that the number of votes cast “for” an Item must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that Item. Items 5 and 6 are considered
special resolutions under Irish law and require 75% of the votes cast for approval.
Although abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as “shares present” at the Annual General Meeting for the purpose of determining
whether a quorum exists, they are not counted as votes cast either “for” or “against” the resolution and, accordingly, will not affect the outcome
of the vote.
Who Pays the Expenses of This Proxy Statement?
We have hired Alliance Advisors, LLC to assist in the distribution of proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies for a fee estimated at $22,000
plus out-of-pocket expenses. Proxies will be solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors by mail, in person, by telephone and through the
Internet. We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. We will also reimburse brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to the persons for whom they hold shares.
How Will Voting on Any Other Matter be Conducted?
Although we do not know of any matters to be presented or acted upon at the Annual General Meeting other than the items described in this
Proxy Statement, if any other matter is proposed and properly presented at the Annual General Meeting, the proxy holders will vote on such
matters in accordance with their best judgment.

approximately 0.39% of the total outstanding ordinary shares. Ordinary shares and ordinary share equivalents notionally held under the DDCP, the EDCP and the TDCP
and ordinary share equivalents resulting from dividends on deferred stock awards are not counted as outstanding shares in calculating these percentages because they
are not beneficially owned; the directors and executive officers have no voting or investment power with respect to these shares or share equivalents.

Certain Relationships and Related
Person Transactions
The Company does not generally engage in transactions in which its executive officers, directors or nominees for directors, any of their
immediate family members or any of its 5% shareholders have a material interest. Pursuant to the Company’s written related person
transaction policy, any such transaction must be reported to management, which will prepare a summary of the transaction and refer it to
the Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee for consideration and pre-approval by the disinterested directors. The
Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the material terms of the related person transaction, including the
dollar values involved, the relationships and interests of the parties to the transaction and the impact, if any, to a director’s independence.
The Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee only approves those transactions that are in the best interest of the
Company. In addition, the Company’s Code of Conduct, which sets forth standards applicable to all employees, officers and directors of the
Company, generally proscribes transactions that could result in a conflict of interest for the Company. Any waiver of the Code of Conduct for
any executive officer or director requires the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. Any such waiver will, to the extent required by law
or the NYSE, be disclosed on the Company’s website at www.tranetechnologies.com or on a current report on Form 8-K. No such waivers
were requested or granted in 2025.
We have not made payments to directors other than the fees to which they are entitled as directors (described under the heading
“Compensation of Directors”) and the reimbursement of expenses related to their services as directors. We have made no loans to any
director or officer nor have we purchased any shares of the Company from any director or officer.
The son of Donald E. Simmons, the Company’s Group President, Americas is employed by the Company as a Complex Solutions Account
Executive. In 2025 Mr. Simmons’ son received compensation from the Company in the form of a base salary and other cash benefits totaling
$165,550. The compensation and other terms of employment of Mr. Simmons’ son were determined in accordance with the Company’s
compensation practices applicable to employees with comparable qualifications and responsibilities and holding similar positions.
Except as described above, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, there were no related party transactions that would trigger
disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
78
Shareholder Proposals
and Nominations
Any proposal by a shareholder intended to be presented at the 2027 Annual General Meeting of shareholders of the Company must be
received by the Company at its registered office at 170/175 Lakeview Drive, Airside Business Park, Swords, Co. Dublin, Ireland, Attn:
Secretary, no later than December 24, 2026, for inclusion in the proxy materials relating to that meeting. Any such proposal must meet the
requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14a-8, in order for such proposals to be eligible for inclusion in our
2027 Proxy Statement.
The Company’s Articles of Association set forth procedures to be followed by shareholders who wish to nominate candidates for election to
the Board of Directors in connection with Annual General Meetings of shareholders or pursuant to written shareholder consents or who wish to
bring other business before a shareholders’ general meeting. All such nominations must be accompanied by certain background and other
information specified in the Articles of Association. In connection with the 2027 Annual General Meeting, written notice of a shareholder’s
intention to make such nominations or bring business before the Annual General Meeting must be given to the Secretary of the Company not
later than March 6, 2027. If the date of the 2027 Annual General Meeting occurs more than 30 days before, or 60 days after, the anniversary of
the 2026 Annual General Meeting, then the written notice must be provided to the Secretary of the Company not later than the seventh day
after the date on which notice of such Annual General Meeting is given. In addition, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who
intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide timely notice by the same deadline
disclosed above (March 6, 2027), as well as comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
In addition, the Company’s Articles of Association separately provide shareholders representing 3% or more of the voting power of the
Company’s shares with the right, subject to certain terms and conditions, to nominate candidates for election to the Board of Directors and
have such candidate included in our proxy materials for the applicable Annual General Meeting (“proxy access”). All such nominations must be
accompanied by certain background and other information specified in the Articles of Association. In connection with the 2027 Annual General
Meeting, written notice of proxy access nominations must be given to the Secretary of the Company not earlier than November 24, 2026 and
not later than December 24, 2026. If the date of the 2027 Annual General Meeting occurs more than 30 days before, or 60 days after, the
anniversary of the 2026 Annual General Meeting, then the written notice must be provided to the Secretary of the Company not earlier than
120 days prior to the 2027 Annual General Meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (x) the 90th day prior to the 2027
Annual General Meeting or (y) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2027 Annual General Meeting
is first made.
The Sustainability, Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (“Nominating Committee”) will consider all shareholder
recommendations for candidates for Board membership, which should be sent to the Nominating Committee, care of the Secretary of the
Company, at the address set forth above. In addition to considering candidates recommended by shareholders, the Nominating Committee
considers potential candidates recommended by current directors, Company officers, employees and others. As stated in the Company’s
Corporate Governance Guidelines, all candidates for Board membership are selected based upon their judgment, character, achievements and
experience in matters affecting business and industry. Candidates recommended by shareholders are evaluated in the same manner as
director candidates identified by any other means.
In order for you to bring other business before a shareholder general meeting, timely notice must be received by the Secretary of the Company
within the time limits described above. The notice must include a description of the proposed item, the reasons you believe support your
position concerning the item, and other specified matters. These requirements are separate from and in addition to the requirements you must
meet to have a proposal included in our Proxy Statement. The foregoing time limits also apply in determining whether notice is timely pursuant
to rules adopted by the SEC relating to the exercise of discretionary voting authority.
If a shareholder wishes to communicate with the Board of Directors for any other reason, all such communications should be sent in writing,
care of the Secretary of the Company, or by email at board@tranetechnologies.com.
2026 Proxy Statement
79
Householding
SEC rules permit a single set of annual reports and Proxy Statements to be sent to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if
they appear to be members of the same family. Each shareholder continues to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure is referred to as
householding. While the Company does not household in mailings to its shareholders of record, a number of brokerage firms with account
holders who are Company shareholders have instituted householding. In these cases, a single Proxy Statement and annual report will be
delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once a
shareholder has received notice from his or her broker that the broker will be householding communications to the shareholder’s address,
householding will continue until the shareholder is notified otherwise or until the shareholder revokes his or her consent. If at any time a
shareholder no longer wishes to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate Proxy Statement and annual report, he or
she should notify his or her broker. Any shareholder can receive a copy of the Company’s Proxy Statement and annual report by contacting the
Company at its registered office at 170/175 Lakeview Drive, Airside Business Park, Swords, Co. Dublin, Ireland, Attention: Secretary; by calling
the Company at +353 1 895 3500; or by accessing it on the Company’s website at www.tranetechnologies.com.
Shareholders who hold their shares through a broker or other nominee who currently receive multiple copies of the Proxy Statement and
annual report at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their broker.

The Company implemented a special three-year Outperformance Incentive Program during the year ended December 31, 2024 that provides additional incentive-based
cash compensation to eligible participants based primarily on the achievement of outsized revenue performance beyond what is achievable under the Company’s
existing short-term incentive programs. Performance is measured over three annual periods representing the years ended December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Cash
payments related to performance achieved will be made in the quarter ended March 31, 2027. This adjustment represents amounts earned in the respective
performance period that will be paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2027.
For purposes of our compensation programs, Cash Flow Return on Invested Capital (“CROIC”) is measured by dividing Free Cash Flow by
gross fixed assets (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus Working Capital (Accounts and Notes Receivable plus Inventory less Accounts and Notes
Payable). CROIC is subject to adjustments for unusual or infrequent items; the impact of any change in accounting principles; and gains or
charges associated with discontinued operations or through the acquisition or divestiture of a business.
For purposes of our compensation programs, Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) is measured as the total stock price appreciation plus
dividends earned during the three years of the performance cycle. To account for stock price volatility, a 30-day average stock price at the
beginning and ending periods is used. TSR was 135.33% for the 2023-2025 period, which ranked at the 88th percentile of the companies in
the S&P 500 Industrials Index.

Pump LLC and Murray Boiler LLC;
• the impact of potential information technology system failures, vulnerabilities, data security breaches or other
cybersecurity issues;
• evolving data privacy and protection laws;
• intellectual property infringement claims and the inability to protect our intellectual property rights;

interpretations and any legislation that may limit or eliminate potential tax benefits resulting from our incorporation in a
non-U.S. jurisdiction, such as Ireland).
Some of the significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations
and projections are described more fully in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors.” You should read that information in conjunction

COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS
Our products and services are sold in highly competitive markets throughout the world. Due to the diversity of these
products and services and the variety of markets served, we encounter a wide variety of competitors that vary by
product line and services. They include well-established regional or specialized competitors, as well as larger U.S. and
non-U.S. corporations or divisions of larger companies.
7
2025 Annual Report
Part I
The principal methods of competition in these markets relate to price, quality, delivery, service and support, technology
and innovation. We are one of the leading manufacturers in the world of HVAC systems and services and transport
temperature control products and services.
DISTRIBUTION
Our products are distributed by a number of methods, which we believe are appropriate to the type of product.
U.S. sales are made through branch sales offices, distributors and dealers across the country. Non-U.S. sales are
made through numerous subsidiary sales and service companies with a supporting chain of distributors throughout
the world.
OPERATIONS BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA
Approximately 25% of our net revenues in 2025 were derived outside the U.S. and we sold products in approximately
100 countries. Therefore, the attendant risks of manufacturing or selling in a particular country, such as currency devaluation,
nationalization and establishment of common markets, may have an adverse impact on our non-U.S. operations.
CUSTOMERS
We have no single external customer that accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net revenues in 2025, 2024
or 2023. No material part of our business is dependent upon a single customer or a small group of customers; therefore,
the loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows.
MATERIALS
We both manufacture and procure many of the components included in our products. For components we manufacture,
we are required to source a wide variety of commodities such as steel, copper, and aluminum. These principal commodities
are purchased from a large number of independent sources around the world, primarily within the region where the
products are manufactured. We believe that available sources of supply will generally be sufficient for the foreseeable future.
For many components we procure, we have an effective supply chain resiliency plan and capable sources to ensure
sufficient supply, however there are certain categories of components that could occasionally see limited availability
or shortages.
SEASONALITY
Demand for certain products and services is influenced by weather conditions. For instance, sales in our commercial
and residential HVAC businesses historically tend to be higher in the second and third quarters of the year because this
represents spring and summer in the U.S. and other northern hemisphere markets, which are the peak seasons for sales
of air conditioning systems and services. Therefore, results of any quarterly period may not be indicative of expected
results for a full year and unusual weather patterns or events could positively or negatively affect certain segments of our
business and impact overall results of operations.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
We engage in research and development activities in an effort to introduce new products, enhance existing product
effectiveness, improve ease of use and reliability as well as expand the various applications for which our products
may be appropriate. In 2025, we spent $347.6 million on research and development, focused on product and system
sustainability improvements such as increasing energy efficiency, developing products that allow for use of lower global
warming potential refrigerants, reducing material content in products, and designing products for circularity. New product
development (NPD) programs complete a Design for Sustainability module within our NPD process to ensure that programs
consider environmental impact.
We also have a strong focus on sustaining activities, which include costs incurred to reduce production costs, improve
existing products, create custom solutions for customers and provide support to our manufacturing facilities. We anticipate
that we will continue to make significant expenditures for research and development and sustaining activities to maintain
and improve our competitive position.

PATENTS AND LICENSES
Our intellectual property rights are important to our business and include numerous patents, trademarks, copyrights,
trade secrets, proprietary technology, technical data, business processes, and other confidential information. Although in
aggregate the Company’s intellectual property is important to its operations, the Company does not consider any single
patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, proprietary technology, technical data, business process or any other confidential
information (or any related group of any such items) to be of material importance to any segment or to the business as a
whole. From time to time the Company engages in litigation to protect its intellectual property rights. For a discussion of
risks related to the Company’s intellectual property, refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
BACKLOG
Our backlog of orders, believed to be firm, at December 31, was as follows:

These backlog figures are based on orders received and only include amounts associated with our equipment and
contracting and installation performance obligations. A major portion of our residential products are built in advance
of order and either shipped or assembled from stock. We expect to ship a majority of the December 31, 2025 backlog
during 2026. However, orders for specialized equipment or specific customer applications are submitted with extended
lead times and are subject to revision and deferral, and to a lesser extent cancellation or termination. To the extent
projects are delayed or there are resource constraints, the timing of our revenue could be affected.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
We continue to be dedicated to environmental and sustainability programs to minimize the use of natural resources,
reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials from our manufacturing processes and to remediate
identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, we are currently engaged in site investigations and remediation
activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.
It is our policy to establish environmental reserves for investigation and remediation activities when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. Estimated liabilities are
determined based upon existing remediation laws and technologies. Inherent uncertainties exist in such evaluations
due to unknown environmental conditions, changes in government laws and regulations, and changes in cleanup
technologies. The environmental reserves are updated on a routine basis as remediation efforts progress and new
information becomes available.
We are sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and have received notices of potential violations of
environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state and international
authorities. We have also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site
waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. In most instances at multi-party sites, our share of the
liability is not material.
In estimating our liability at multi-party sites, we have assumed that we will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any
site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has
been taken into account, based on our understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a
site-by-site basis.
For a further discussion of our potential environmental liabilities, see Note 20 “Commitments and Contingencies” to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASBESTOS-RELATED MATTERS
We are involved in a number of asbestos-related lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings. In June 2020, our indirect
wholly-owned subsidiaries Aldrich Pump LLC (Aldrich) and Murray Boiler LLC (Murray) each filed a voluntary petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of North Carolina in Charlotte (the Bankruptcy Court). As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, all
asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich and Murray have been stayed due to the imposition of a statutory automatic
stay applicable in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. Only Aldrich and Murray have filed for Chapter 11 relief. Neither Aldrich’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, 200 Park, Inc. (200 Park), Murray’s wholly-owned subsidiary, ClimateLabs LLC (ClimateLabs),
Trane Technologies plc nor its other subsidiaries (the Trane Companies) are part of the Chapter 11 filings. In addition, at
the request of Aldrich and Murray, the Bankruptcy Court has entered an order temporarily staying all asbestos-related
claims against the Trane Companies that relate to claims against Aldrich or Murray (except for asbestos-related claims
for which the exclusive remedy is provided under workers’ compensation statutes or similar laws).
The goal of these Chapter 11 filings is to resolve equitably and permanently all current and future asbestos-related claims
in a manner beneficial to claimants, Aldrich and Murray through court approval of a plan of reorganization that would
create a trust pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, establish claims resolution procedures for all current
and future asbestos-related claims against Aldrich and Murray and channel such claims to the trust for resolution in
accordance with those procedures.
For detailed information on the bankruptcy cases of Aldrich and Murray, see:
• Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Litigation,”
• Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,”
• Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Significant
Matters,” and
• Part II, Item 8, Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 20, “Commitments and Contingencies.”
HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Our people and culture are critical to achieving our operational, financial and strategic success.
As of December 31, 2025, we employed approximately, 44,000 people in 62 countries including over 16,000 employees
outside of the United States. Our Trane Technologies EEO-1 Report published on our website outlines additional details
on our U.S. workforce composition.
Our continued focus on building an uplifting culture, where our employees can be at their best, has positively
contributed to retaining employees at strong levels. The 2025 retention rate of our key talent, those with the highest
potential rating, was 96.4%, excluding retirements. Our company‑wide (all employees) voluntary retention rate excluding
retirements was 92.1%.
Culture and Purpose
In 2025, we continued to drive our purpose to boldly challenge what’s possible for a sustainable world with a sharp
focus on our strategic priorities and 2030 Sustainability Commitments. As part of our commitment to people and culture,
we strive to create a work environment where our people uplift each other, make a positive impact on the planet and
thrive at work and at home. We do that through embedding our leadership principles across our people practices such
as onboarding, learning and performance management. We also focus on ongoing manager development and the
important role people leaders play in our uplifting, inclusive culture.
Our annual employee engagement survey enables employees to share their experiences and perceptions of our
Company. Employees provide ratings and written comments celebrating what we’re doing well and recommending areas
where we can do better. In 2025, 91% of our workforce participated in our annual engagement survey, and our overall
employee engagement score remains high relative to external benchmarks. While our work on culture is never done,
our scores indicate that we continue to raise the bar to increase pride, energy and optimism and help create the best
employee experience as a destination employer.

Part I
Opportunity for All
We are committed to creating Opportunity for All by uplifting our people and communities. We invest in our people and
an inclusive culture where everyone can grow and thrive; and we give back to our communities supporting the next
generation of the workforce with the potential to transform our world.
Our aspiration is a workforce that cultivates belonging, embeds inclusion creating organizational purpose and
opportunity for all in the communities where we live and work. This helps us to reach a broader talent pool, drive
innovation and meet the needs of our global customer base. We work closely with external organizations to help us
bridge the growing skilled labor gap, create a pipeline of highly skilled talent, and support industry career development.
In 2025, we partnered with Opportunity at Work, a non-profit coalition dedicated to hiring skilled talent through alternative
routes (STARs), which prioritizes skills and experience for workforce entry and removes the requirement of degrees where
unnecessary. We also collaborate with organizations such as National Association of Manufacturers, Society for Women
Engineers, National Society of Black Engineers, and Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, that help us recruit
qualified talent from varied backgrounds.
To help promote inclusion and belonging in the workplace, we offer voluntary company forums such as:
• Bridging Connection Sessions – Bridging Connections means bringing people and ideas together by respecting
differences and making everyone feel included. When we connect with openness and kindness, we help everyone
understand and learn from each other. By letting each person share their best, we make the most of our differences
and give everyone a chance to succeed.
• Business Resource Groups (BRGs) – All BRGs are voluntary, open to all employees and offer a sense of belonging,
networking and learning opportunities. Our BRGs also play an important role in our business through community
involvement, brand advocacy, recruiting, and business and target market insights.
• Being at my Best – A leader development program that contributes to building an inclusive and psychologically safe
workplace focused on resilience and resourcefulness.
• The Work of the Inclusive Leader course – This course equips our employees with the skills to create an environment
where people feel respected, valued, and empowered to contribute their best. It turns intention into action and shapes
behaviors that drive our leadership principles.
Our corporate citizenship strategy, Sustainable Futures, focuses on expanding access to science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics (STEM) education and career opportunities. This strategy supports our efforts to create opportunity
for all by providing under-served communities and schools with a range of resources, from classroom curriculum that
introduces them to careers at a climate innovation company, to soft-skill development for landing a STEM job.
Learning and Development
We offer learning and career development opportunities that enhance our employees’ skills and abilities and ensure
contemporary technical and functional skills and competencies such as innovation, collaboration and leadership.
Examples of these programs include:
• Team Leader Development Program – A seven-week experiential development program that engages, teaches and
empowers hourly team leaders in our manufacturing facilities to apply continuous improvement methods, make sound
business decisions, solve problems, and serve as a coach to their teams.
• Group Leader Development Program – A three-week cohort program for salaried, front-line leaders in our
manufacturing facilities that focuses on enhancing knowledge, skills and capabilities required to lead front-line workers
within a world class lean enterprise.
• Graduate Training Program – A 14-week development program designed to prepare university graduates for a
rewarding career in technical sales. The program prepares sales engineers to sell Trane’s complex HVAC systems and
energy services. The program, started in 1926, is recognized as the industry’s most comprehensive training program
and provides intensive technical, business, sales, and leadership training.

2025 Annual Report
Part I
• Accelerated Development Program – An early career rotational program focused on both functional and leadership
development, designed to build a pipeline of strong talent for key roles in the organization. Participants rotate to
multiple geographic locations and business units during the 2.5-year program, while completing diverse assignments,
and receiving dedicated functional training and developmental experiences.
• Leadership Development – We invest in custom, key transition leadership development programs for our high
potential talent. We partner with best-in-class external leadership development experts such as INSEAD, Center
for Creative Leadership, and the NeuroLeadership Institute to deliver programs such as our Executive Leadership
Program, Leading for Impact, and Leaders on the Rise globally each year. Additionally, we offer our Trane Technologies
people leaders learning programs to develop their skills in leading their teams, such as delivering effective feedback,
increasing employee engagement, and coaching.
• Professional Development – We have numerous online courses in professional development skills as varied as
business communication, resiliency, and artificial intelligence (AI), as well as strategic capability initiatives such as
product management and other programs that support our strategy of being a world class lean enterprise.
• Tuition Advancement Program – We provide financial assistance to qualified employees for associate, undergraduate,
graduate and post-graduate degree programs, as well as certain technical trade certifications. To eliminate financial
barriers, the program covers tuition costs in advance.
• Dependent Scholarships – To support learning in our employees’ families, we offer $2,500 scholarships to support their
dependent children’s pursuits beyond high school, whether for a traditional degree or a trade certification.
• Compliance Training – Our Compliance Training curriculum covers key topics that are important to protect our
Company, our people and our customers. Topics include certification in our Code of Conduct, Information Security,
Understanding and Preventing Workplace Harassment, and Expense Management. All salaried employees and service
technicians globally complete our compliance curriculum annually, while hourly production employees complete Code
of Conduct and Preventing Workplace Harassment training every other year.
• Sustainability Learning – We offer sustainability learning that is available to everyone in the organization in our Learning
Management System starting with the Sustainability Starts with Us course that provides a foundational understanding
of how our purpose connects to every role. In addition, a comprehensive learning path is available to all around
understanding emissions including the following courses: The Greenhouse Gas Effect, Carbon Intensity of the Electric
Grid, and Carbon Neutrality in the Built Environment.
Employee Volunteerism
In 2025, Trane Technologies hosted a Global Time of Service when thousands of our team members banded together in a
global show of commitment to community uplift. Teams around the world identified needs in their local communities and
lent their time and resources to help more than 50 non-profit organizations enhance programs and create more opportunity.
Additionally, local philanthropic efforts take place throughout the year led by a network of approximately 50 “Purple Teams”
around the world that fuel the spirit of volunteerism and ensure local alignment with our Sustainable Futures strategy.
Employee Well-being
Trane Technologies believes employees that can thrive at work, at home and in their communities are our greatest
strength. We integrate well-being into our culture through core global resources that support physical, social, emotional,
and financial well-being. Several elements of our holistic well-being actions include:
• Giving 100% of our team members access to company-sponsored wellness offerings, including a global Employee
Assistance Program and a global wellness platform. These resources provide education and individual support
covering an array of topics, including mental health, nutrition, fitness, dependent care, financial and retirement
planning, and legal, among other topics.
• Offering financial relief through the Helping Hand Fund, an employee-funded program created to help associates
facing financial hardship immediately after a qualified disaster or an unforeseen personal hardship.
12
Part I
We recognize the pervasiveness of mental health challenges facing employees and their families. We continue efforts
to overcome stigma and promote a culture that encourages and supports open discussion about mental health
issues. We implemented a global mental health training program, offered in 10 languages, targeted towards people
leaders and available to all employees. This program highlights how to recognize and react to mental health concerns
and leverage support resources. To date more than 10,400 employees have voluntarily completed this training program.
Our enterprise Mental Well-Being Hub is a global employee resource that provides access to self-help information,
team member stories, trainings, and guidance for supporting others, all in one place.
To further support employee well-being, we implemented Inflection, a program that provides locally relevant information
and support for Fertility, Family Building and Menopause in the U.S. in 2025, with global rollout in January 2026. In the
U.S., we also increased the parental leave for non-birth parents to 4 weeks, which aligns with the leave provided to
birth parents.
Competitive Pay and Benefits
Trane Technologies’ compensation programs and policies are designed to align the compensation of our employees
with the Company’s performance and strategy, to attract and retain a talented workforce and to meet the needs of
employees globally. We are committed to providing competitive and equitable wages and benefits that allow our
employees to thrive at work and at home. In addition, the structure of our compensation programs balance incentive
earnings for both long-term and short-term performance with our annual incentive plan closely tied to our financial
goals as well as progress toward our 2030 Sustainability Commitments. We further align our leadership globally, fostering
collaboration to drive profitable, market-leading revenue growth.
Trane Technologies provides purpose-driven and locally relevant benefit programs and policies that are designed
to support the well-being of employees and their families. In addition to core and competitive medical, welfare and
retirement programs, we offer programs to support work-life balance and to deliver benefits access and opportunity to
all. We structure our benefit offerings with a focus on access to affordable benefits based on employee need.
Our proxy statement provides more detail on the competitive compensation and benefit programs we offer.
Employee Safety
In 2025, we continued our multi-year, world class safety record with a Lost-time Incident Rate of 0.06 and Recordable Rate
below 0.60. We refreshed our behavior-based and ergonomics programs and had a major focus on leading indicators,
which has been very impactful for all employees across the globe. In 2025, this included a global safety campaign within
our manufacturing locations and field operations.
We also continue to maintain all our locations globally as tobacco free workplaces.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows are subject to a number of risks that could cause
the actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements contained in
this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks set forth below are those we consider most significant. We face other risks,
however, that we do not currently perceive to be material which could cause actual results and conditions to differ
materially from our expectations. You should evaluate all risks before you invest in our securities. If any of the risks actually
occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely impacted. In that case, the
trading price of our ordinary shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
14
Part I
RISKS RELATED TO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Our global operations subject us to economic risks.
Our global operations are dependent upon products manufactured, purchased and sold in the U.S. and internationally.
Approximately 75% of our net revenues in 2025 were derived inside the U.S., and we sold products in approximately
100 countries. In addition, many of our customers, manufacturing operations and suppliers are located outside the U.S.
These activities are subject to risks that are inherent in operating globally, including:
• changes in local laws and regulations including potential imposition of currency restrictions; new or changing tax laws,
including the implementation of a global minimum tax; variations in monetary policies; and other restraints;
• trade protection measures such as import or export restrictions and requirements, the imposition of tariffs and quotas,
trade embargoes, or revocation or material modification of trade agreements;
• limitation of ownership rights, including expropriation of assets by a local government, and limitation on the ability to
repatriate earnings;
• sovereign debt crises and currency instability in developed and developing countries;
• difficulty in staffing and managing global operations including supply chain disruptions which may be exacerbated by
pandemics or other public health crises, natural disasters, or other events affecting the supply of labor, materials and
components;
• difficulty of enforcing agreements, collecting receivables and protecting assets through non-U.S. legal systems;
• national and international conflict, including war, civil disturbances and terrorist acts or the threat thereof; and
• recessions, economic downturns, price instability, inflation, slowing economic growth and social and political instability.
These risks could increase our cost of doing business internationally, increase our counterparty risk, disrupt our
operations, disrupt the ability of suppliers and customers to fulfill their obligations, limit our ability to sell products in
certain markets and have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Commodity and raw material shortages, supply chain risks and price increases could adversely affect our
financial results.
We rely on suppliers to secure commodities, particularly steel and non-ferrous metals, and third-party parts and
components, including electronic components, required for the manufacture of our products. A disruption in deliveries
from our suppliers or decreased availability of commodities and third-party parts and components could adversely
affect our ability to meet our commitments to customers, impact pricing, increase our operating costs, or impact
timing and delivery of products and services. Disruptions have previously occurred and may occur in the future due
to public health crises, natural disasters, regulatory changes, geopolitical events, electronic component shortages,
supplier capacity constraints, labor shortages, port congestion, logistical problems, political unrest, and other issues.
Some of these disruptions have resulted in supply chain constraints affecting our business including our ability to
timely produce and ship our products. The unavailability of some commodities and third-party parts and components
could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.
Volatility in the prices of commodities and third-party parts and components or the impact of inflationary increases
could increase the costs of our products and services. We may not be able to pass on these costs to our customers
and this could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. Conversely, in the event
there is deflation, we may experience pressure from our customers to reduce prices. There can be no assurance that
we would be able to reduce our costs (through negotiations with suppliers or other measures) to offset any such price
concessions which could adversely impact results of operations and cash flows. While we use financial derivatives,
supplier price locks or indices-based pricing mechanisms to partially hedge against this volatility, by using these
instruments we may potentially forego the benefits that might result from favorable fluctuations in prices and could
experience lower margins in periods of declining commodity prices. In addition, while hedging activity may minimize
near-term volatility of the commodity prices, it would not protect us from long-term commodity price increases.
Some of our purchases are from sole or limited source suppliers for reasons of cost effectiveness, regulatory
requirements, uniqueness of design, or product quality. If these suppliers encounter financial or operating difficulties,
we might not be able to quickly establish or qualify replacement sources of supply.
15
2025 Annual Report
Part I
We face significant competition in the markets that we serve.
The markets that we serve are highly competitive. We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and
distributors that produce and sell similar products. There has been consolidation and new entrants (including non-traditional
competitors) within our industries and there may be future consolidation and new entrants, either of which could result in
increased competition and pricing pressures and significantly alter the dynamics of the competitive landscape in which we
operate. Due to our global footprint we are competing worldwide with large companies and with smaller, local operators who
may have customer, regulatory or economic advantages in the geographies in which they are located. In addition, some
of our competitors may employ pricing and other strategies that are not traditional. While we understand our markets and
competitive landscape, there is always the risk of disruptive technologies coming from companies that are not traditionally
manufacturers or service providers of our products. Refer to “Item 1. Business” for additional details. As we integrate acquisitions
into our portfolio of solutions, we may face new competitors in our target markets and incur increased competition from
alternative solutions, which could lead to decreased demand or reduced market share for our products and services. We
must maintain the quality of our products, retain longstanding relationships with major customers, continue to grow our
business by establishing relationships with new customers, and continually innovate new or enhanced products and services
to maintain and expand our brand recognition and market leadership position to effectively compete in the markets that we
serve. AI also presents emerging issues and the pace presents uncertainties, and we may experience competitive harm, harm
to our reputation, or legal liability. A failure or inability to effectively address market trends, incorporate technology developments,
adapt to changes in customer preferences, and compete in our market may adversely affect demand for our products and
services, which may cause a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Our growth is dependent, in part, on the timely development, commercialization and acceptance of new and
enhanced products and services.
We must efficiently and effectively innovate, develop and commercialize new and enhanced products and services in
a rapidly changing technological and business environment in order to remain competitive in our current and future
markets and in order to continue to grow our business. The timely development and commercialization of new products
and services and the enhancement of existing products and services is required to meet our customer demands,
market trends, and regulatory requirements. The ongoing refreshment of our product and service offerings portfolio
requires strategic choices of a significant investment of resources, anticipation of the opportunity and risks of new
technologies, and the ability to compete with others who may have superior resources in specific technology domains.
We cannot provide any assurance that any new or enhanced product or service will be successfully commercialized in
a timely manner, if ever, or, if commercialized, will result in returns greater than our investment. Investment in a product
or service could divert our attention and resources from other projects that become more commercially viable in the
market. We also cannot provide any assurance that any new or enhanced product or service will be accepted by our
current and future markets. The accelerating pace of technological change increases the risk of shortened product
lifecycles. The successful development and commercialization of products and services depends on attracting, retaining,
and developing highly skilled talent in engineering, technology, and product management. Constraints in the labor
market or increased competition for skilled professionals may delay innovation initiatives or increase costs, or require the
company to accelerate automation. Failure to timely and accurately predict customer needs and preferences, anticipate
regulatory conditions affecting current and future products, mitigate supply chain disruptions on new products, or our
failure to develop new and enhanced products and services in a timely fashion, including implementing emerging
technological changes such as integrated AI solutions in our products and services, could have a material adverse
impact on our competitive position, operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Capital and credit market conditions could adversely affect our business operations, investments, and
financial performance.
Instability in U.S. and global capital and credit markets, including market disruptions, limited liquidity and interest rate
volatility, or reductions in the credit ratings assigned to us by independent rating agencies could reduce our access
to capital markets or increase the cost of funding our short- and long-term credit requirements. In particular, if we are
unable to access capital and credit markets, or access them on terms that are acceptable to us, we may not be able
to make certain investments or fully execute our business plans and strategies. If we were to raise funding through the
issuance of equity securities, our shareholders would experience dilution of their existing ownership interest. If we were to
raise significant additional funds by issuing debt, we could be subject to limitations on our operations due to restrictive
covenants or rating agencies could downgrade our credit ratings or put them on negative watch.
16
Part I
Our suppliers and customers are also dependent upon the capital and credit markets. Limitations on the ability of
customers, suppliers or financial counterparties to access credit at interest rates and on terms that are acceptable to
them could lead to insolvencies of key suppliers and customers, limit or prevent customers from obtaining credit to
finance purchases of our products and services and cause delays in the delivery of key products from suppliers.
The performance of the financial markets and interest rates can also impact the value of our defined benefit pension
plans and other post-retirement benefit programs. Significant decreases in discount rate or the value of plan assets
may increase our funding obligations, which may adversely affect our financial results. See Note 11 – “Pensions and
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.”
Currency exchange rate fluctuations and other related risks may adversely affect our results.
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. See
Part II Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.”
We have operations throughout the world that manufacture and sell products in various international markets. We also
have investments in our subsidiaries located in foreign countries. As a result, we are exposed to movements in exchange
rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar as well as against other currencies throughout the world.
Many of our non-U.S. operations have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, and their results are translated into
U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Therefore, our reported results will be higher or lower depending on the weakening or
strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the respective foreign currency. Decreased strength of the U.S. dollar could also
adversely affect the cost of raw materials, products, or services that we purchase from non-U.S. suppliers.
We use derivative instruments to partially hedge those material exposures that cannot be naturally offset. The instruments
utilized are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. To minimize the risk
of counterparty non-performance, derivative instrument agreements are made only through major financial institutions
with significant experience in such derivative instruments.
We also face risks arising from the imposition of exchange controls and currency devaluations. Exchange controls may
limit our ability to convert foreign currencies into U.S. dollars or to remit dividends and other payments by our foreign
subsidiaries or businesses located in or conducted within a country imposing controls. Currency devaluations result in a
diminished value of funds denominated in the currency of the country instituting the devaluation.
Changes in U.S. or foreign trade policies and other factors beyond our control may adversely impact our business
and operating results.
Changes in governmental policies on foreign trade, geopolitical tensions, and trade disputes can disrupt supply chains
and increase the cost of our products. This could cause our products to be more expensive for customers, which could
reduce the demand for or the attractiveness of such products. The U.S. continues to implement certain trade actions,
including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported from several countries, which has resulted in retaliatory tariffs by
other countries. Additional tariffs have been proposed by the current U.S. administration and there are active negotiations
for extending trade treaties. It is not possible to predict the extent or focus of any such tariffs at this time. In addition, a
geopolitical conflict in a region where we operate could disrupt our ability to conduct business operations in that region.
In addition to tariffs, duties, quotas, trade embargoes, and sanctions, countries also could adopt other measures, such
as controls on imports or exports of goods, technology, or data, which could adversely affect our operations and supply
chain and limit our ability to offer our products and services as intended. These kinds of restrictions could be adopted
with little to no advance notice, and we may not be able to effectively mitigate the adverse impacts from such measures.
Political uncertainty surrounding trade or other international disputes also could have a negative impact on customer
confidence and willingness to spend money, which could impair our future growth.
World geopolitical conflicts have created humanitarian crises, materially impacted economic activities, and may
materially impact our global and regional operations.
The global economy has been negatively impacted by geopolitical conflicts, including the military conflict between Russia
and Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East. Governments including the U.S., China, United Kingdom, and those of the
European Union have imposed export controls on certain products and financial and economic sanctions on certain
industry sectors and parties in Russia which has triggered retaliatory sanctions by the Russian government and its allies.
17
2025 Annual Report
Part I
The outcome and future impacts of these world conflicts remain highly uncertain, continue to evolve and may grow more
severe the longer the military action and sanctions remain in effect. Risks associated with world geopolitical conflicts that
have arisen or could arise in the future, include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on political developments and on
general economic conditions, including inflation and consumer spending; disruptions to our supply chains; disruptions
to our information systems, including through network failures, malicious or disruptive software, or cyberattacks; trade
disruptions; additional tariffs; energy shortages or rationing that may adversely impact our manufacturing facilities and
consumer spending, particularly in Europe; rising fuel and/or rising costs of producing, procuring and shipping our products;
our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; and constraints, volatility or disruption in the financial markets.
We have no way to predict the progress or outcome of world geopolitical conflicts, including the situations in Ukraine
and the Middle East. Although neither the Russia-Ukraine conflict nor the Middle East conflicts have, to date, caused any
material adverse effect on our business or financial performance, until there are peaceful resolutions, these conflicts
could have a material adverse effect on our operations, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, growth
prospects and business outlook.
The full extent to which public health crises will affect us will depend on future developments that are highly
uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.
The extent to which a pandemic, epidemic, or other widespread outbreaks of infectious disease or other public health
crises, including a resurgence of any previously identified outbreaks of infectious diseases, may impact our business
going forward will depend on factors such as the duration and scope of infections; governmental, business, and
individuals’ actions in response to the health crisis; travel and other restrictions; and the impact on economic activity
including the possibility of financial market instability or recession. How a pandemic, epidemic, or other public health
crises will affect us will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.
Such events may also exacerbate other risks discussed herein, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.
The global spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic demonstrated widespread, rapidly evolving
and unpredictable impacts on global society, economics, financial markets and business practices. Government efforts
to contain the pandemic included travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders and shutdowns.
Although our operations have stabilized since the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, our business and global operations
were impacted by supply chain delays, higher material costs and product prices, lower revenues for some quarters,
unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, and, at times, our abilities to obtain needed products and services, operate
in certain locations, maintain our distribution channels, and attract and retain talent were affected. A resurgence or
development of new strains of COVID-19, or other public health emergencies, could result in unpredictable responses by
authorities around the world which could negatively impact our global operations, customers and suppliers.
RISKS RELATED TO LITIGATION
Material adverse legal judgments, fines, penalties or settlements could adversely affect our results of operations,
and our financial condition.
We and certain of our subsidiaries are currently and may in the future become involved in legal and regulatory proceedings
and disputes incidental to the operation of our business or the business operations of previously-owned entities. Our
business may be adversely affected by the outcome of these proceedings and other contingencies (including, without
limitation, contract claims or other commercial disputes, product liability, product defects, environmental matters, intellectual
property claims, employment claims, and asbestos-related matters) that cannot be predicted with certainty. These lawsuits
may include claims for compensatory damages, punitive and consequential damages, and/or injunctive relief. The defense
of these lawsuits may divert our management’s attention, we may incur significant expenses in defending these lawsuits, we
may experience disruption in supply or sales, and we may be required to pay damage awards or settlements or become
subject to equitable remedies that could adversely affect our operations or financial results. Moreover, any insurance or
indemnification rights that we may have may be insufficient or unavailable to protect us against the total aggregate amount
of losses sustained as a result of such proceedings and contingencies. As required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP), we establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies. Subsequent developments in legal
proceedings and other events could affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingency recorded as a reserve
and we may be required to make additional material payments, which could have a material adverse impact on our liquidity,
results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. See also Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” and Part II, Item 8,
Consolidated Financial Statements Note 20, “Commitments and Contingencies.”
18
Part I
The Aldrich and Murray Chapter 11 cases involve various risks and uncertainties that could have a material
effect on us.
Our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries Aldrich and Murray have each filed a voluntary petition for reorganization
under the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The goal of these Chapter 11 filings is to resolve equitably and
permanently all current and future asbestos-related claims in a manner beneficial to claimants, Aldrich and Murray
through court approval of a plan of reorganization that would create a trust pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy
Code, establish claims resolution procedures for all current and future asbestos-related claims against Aldrich and
Murray and channel such claims to the trust for resolution in accordance with those procedures. Such a resolution, if
achieved, would likely include a channeling injunction to enjoin asbestos claims resolved in the Chapter 11 cases from
being filed or pursued against us or our affiliates. The Chapter 11 cases remain pending as of February 5, 2026.
There are a number of risks and uncertainties associated with these Chapter 11 cases, including, among others, those
related to:
• the ability to consummate the agreement in principle reached with the court appointed legal representative of future
asbestos claimants (the FCR);
• the outcome of negotiations with the committee representing current asbestos claimants (ACC) and other participants
in the Chapter 11 cases, including insurers, concerning the terms of a plan of reorganization, including the size
and structure of a potential section 524(g) trust to pay the asbestos liability of Aldrich and Murray and the means
for funding that trust, and the risk that the ACC will object to, and the risk that insurers will not support, a plan of
reorganization having terms acceptable to Aldrich and Murray;
• the actions of representatives of the asbestos claimants, including the ACC’s pursuit of certain causes of action
against us, and other potential actions by the ACC in opposition to, or otherwise inconsistent with, the efforts by
Aldrich and Murray to diligently prosecute the Chapter 11 cases and ultimately seek Bankruptcy Court approval of a
plan of reorganization;
• the decisions of the Bankruptcy Court relating to numerous substantive and procedural aspects of the Chapter 11
cases, and other efforts by Aldrich and Murray to diligently prosecute the Chapter 11 cases and ultimately seek
Bankruptcy Court approval of a plan of reorganization, whether such decisions are in response to actions of
representatives of the asbestos claimants or otherwise;
• the ultimate determination of the asbestos liability of Aldrich and Murray to be satisfied under a plan of reorganization
pursuant to the court-approved estimation proceeding;
• the ability of Aldrich and Murray to obtain the necessary approvals of the Bankruptcy Court or the United States District
Court for the Western District of North Carolina (the District Court) of a plan of reorganization;
• the decisions of the appellate courts regarding any orders of the Bankruptcy Court or the District Court that may
be appealed;
• any orders approving a plan of reorganization and issuing the channeling injunction not becoming final and
non-appealable;
• the terms and conditions of any plan of reorganization that is ultimately confirmed in the Chapter 11 cases;
• delays in the confirmation or effective date of a plan of reorganization due to factors beyond the Company’s control; and
• the risk that the ultimate amount required under any final plan of reorganization may exceed the amounts agreed to
with the FCR in the Plan.
The ability of Aldrich and Murray to successfully reorganize and resolve their asbestos liabilities will depend on various
factors, including their ability to reach agreements with representatives of the asbestos claimants on the terms of a plan
of reorganization that satisfies all applicable legal requirements and to obtain the requisite court approvals of such plan,
and remains subject to the risks and uncertainties described above. We cannot ensure that Aldrich and Murray can
successfully reorganize, nor can we give any assurances as to the amount of the ultimate obligations under Funding
Agreements pursuant to which certain subsidiaries are obligated, among other things, to pay the costs and expenses
of Aldrich and Murray during the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases to the extent distributions from their respective
subsidiaries are insufficient to do so and to provide an amount for the funding for a trust established pursuant to
section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent that the other assets of Aldrich and Murray are insufficient to
19
2025 Annual Report
Part I
provide the requisite trust funding or any plan of reorganization, or the resulting impact on our financial condition, results
of operations or future prospects. We also are unable to predict the timing of any of the foregoing matters or the timing
for a resolution of the Chapter 11 cases, all of which could have an impact on us.
It also is possible that, in the Chapter 11 cases, various parties will be successful in bringing claims against us and
other related parties, including by successfully challenging the 2020 corporate restructuring, consolidating entities and/
or raising allegations that we are liable for the asbestos-related liabilities of Aldrich and Murray as set forth in certain
pleadings filed by the ACC in the Chapter 11 cases. Although we believe we have no such responsibility for liabilities of
Aldrich and Murray, except indirectly through our obligation to provide funding to Aldrich and Murray under the terms of
the Funding Agreements, we cannot provide assurances that such claims will not be successful.
In sum, the outcome of the Chapter 11 cases is uncertain and there is uncertainty as to what extent we may have to
contribute to a section 524(g) trust under the Funding Agreements.
For detailed information on the bankruptcy cases of Aldrich and Murray, see Part I, Item 1, “Business - Asbestos-Related
Matters,” Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations - Significant Matters,” and Part II, Item 8, Consolidated Financial Statements, and Note 20,
“Commitments and Contingencies.”
RISKS RELATED TO CYBERSECURITY AND TECHNOLOGY
We are subject to risks relating to our information technology systems.
We rely extensively on information technology systems, some of which are supported by third party vendors including
cloud-based systems and managed service providers, to manage and operate our business. We invest in new
information technology systems designed to improve our operations. These information technology systems can
be damaged, disrupted, compromised, or shut down due to cyber attacks, malware, human error or malfeasance
(including by employees), power and utility outages, hardware failures, telecommunication issues, or catastrophes or
other unforeseen events. If these systems cease to function properly, if these systems experience security breaches or
disruptions, if these systems do not provide the anticipated benefits or if we are unable to commit sufficient resources to
maintain and enhance our information technology infrastructure to ensure data quality and to keep pace with continuous
development in information processing technology, our ability to manage our operations could be impaired, which could
have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Security breaches or disruptions of the technology systems, infrastructure or products of the Company or our
vendors could negatively impact our business and financial results.
Our information technology systems, networks, connected services, and infrastructure and technology, including
artificial intelligence (AI) technology, embedded in certain of our control products have been and are at risk to cyber
attacks and unauthorized access. From time to time, vulnerabilities in our products are discovered and updates are
made available, but customers are at risk until those updates are applied or other mitigating actions are taken by
customers to protect their systems and networks. Although we maintain processes and procedures designed to
mitigate cybersecurity risk, like other large companies, certain of our information technology systems and the systems
of our vendors have been subject to computer viruses, malicious code, unauthorized access, phishing attempts,
denial-of-service attacks and other cyber attacks and we expect that we and our vendors will be subject to similar
attacks in the future. We and some of our third-party suppliers have experienced cyber attacks, and, due to the evolving
threat landscape, may continue to experience attacks, potentially with more frequency and severity. Certain of our
business partners and third-party vendors may be granted access to our confidential information as well as confidential
information about our customers, suppliers, employees, and others, which may be compromised by a cyber attack. In
addition, the rapid evolution and increased adoption of AI technologies may intensify our cybersecurity risks, including
risks from malicious or misuse of AI to craft increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks against us, our business
partners, or our third-party vendors. While we continue to make investments and adopt measures designed to enhance
our protection, detection, response, and recovery capabilities, and to mitigate potential risks to our technology, products,
services and operations from potential cyber attacks, insufficient controls or other vulnerabilities in our systems and
those of our business partners or third-party vendors could result in misappropriation, destruction, exfiltration, or
unauthorized disclosure of our information.
20
Part I
The methods used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage information technology
systems are constantly changing and evolving. Despite having instituted security policies and enhancing business
continuity plans, and implementing and regularly reviewing and updating security controls and related processes
and procedures to protect against unauthorized access and requiring similar protections from our vendors, the ever-
evolving threats mean we are continually evaluating and adapting our systems and processes and ask our vendors
to do the same, and there is no guarantee that such systems and processes will be adequate to safeguard against
all data security breaches or misuses of data. Hardware, software, AI technology, or applications we develop or obtain
from third parties sometimes contain defects in design or deployment or other problems that could unexpectedly
result in security breaches or disruptions. Open source software components embedded into certain software that
we use have in the past contained vulnerabilities and others may be discovered in the future. Such vulnerabilities can
expose our systems to malware or allow unauthorized third-party access to data, including confidential information
about our business, customers, dealers, and suppliers; personally identifiable data related to employees, customers,
and other business partners; as well as other sensitive matters. While these issues are not specific to our Company, we
are required to take action when such vulnerabilities are identified including patching and modification to certain of our
products and enterprise systems. To date, there has been no material business impact from such vulnerabilities, but
we continue to monitor these issues and our responses are ongoing. Our systems, networks and certain of our control
products and those of our vendors are at risk to system damage, cyber attacks, human errors or misconduct, malware,
power and utility outages, and other catastrophic events. Any of these incidents could cause significant harm to our
business by negatively impacting our business operations, compromising the security of our proprietary information
or the personally identifiable information of our customers, employees and business partners which may be subject to
privacy and security laws, regulations and other controls. These events potentially expose us to litigation or other legal
actions against us or the imposition of penalties, fines, fees or liabilities. Such events could have a material adverse
impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows and could damage our reputation which could
adversely affect our business. Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all the costs related to a cyber
attack or disruptions resulting from such attacks. Customers are increasingly requiring cybersecurity protections and
mandating cybersecurity standards in our products, and we may incur additional costs to comply with such demands.
Data privacy and protection laws are evolving and present increasing compliance challenges.
The regulatory environment surrounding data privacy and protection is increasingly demanding, with the frequent
imposition of new and changing requirements across businesses and geographic areas. We are required to comply
with complex regulations when collecting, transferring and using personal data, including the E.U. Global Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR), the various state privacy laws, and other regulatory requirements. Compliance with these regulations
increases our costs, affects our competitiveness and can expose us to substantial fines or other penalties, and/or
additional reporting or other obligations.
Intellectual property infringement claims of others and the inability to protect our intellectual property rights could
harm our competitive position.
Our intellectual property (IP) rights are important to our business and include numerous patents, trademarks, copyrights,
trade secrets, proprietary technology, technical data, business processes, and other confidential information. Although
in aggregate we consider our intellectual property rights to be valuable to our operations, we do not believe that our
business is materially dependent on a single intellectual property right or any group of them. In our opinion, engineering,
production skills and experience are more responsible for our market position than our patents and/or licenses.
Nonetheless, this intellectual property may be subject to challenge, infringement, invalidation or circumvention by third
parties. Despite extensive security measures, our intellectual property may be subject to misappropriation through
unauthorized access of our information technology systems, employee theft, or theft by private parties or foreign actors,
including those affiliated with or controlled by state actors. Our business and competitive position could be harmed
by such events. We also rely on nondisclosure and noncompetition agreements with certain employees, contractors,
and other parties to protect, in part, trade secrets and other proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that these
agreements will adequately protect our trade secrets and other proprietary rights and will not be breached, that we will
have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary
information, or that third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or other proprietary rights. Our ability
21
2025 Annual Report
Part I
to protect our intellectual property rights by legal recourse or otherwise may be limited, particularly in countries where
laws or enforcement practices are inadequate or undeveloped. Our inability to enforce our IP rights under any of these
circumstances could have an impact on our competitive position and business.
RISKS RELATED TO REGULATORY MATTERS
Our reputation, ability to do business and results of operations could be impaired by improper conduct by any of
our employees, agents, business partners, or other third parties.
We are subject to regulation under a wide variety of U.S. federal and state and non-U.S. laws, regulations and policies,
including laws related to anti-corruption, anti-human trafficking, anti-bribery including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, export and import compliance, anti-trust, cybersecurity, data privacy, and money laundering,
due to our global operations. We cannot provide assurance our internal controls will always protect us from the improper
conduct of our employees, agents, business partners, or other third parties. Any violations of law or improper conduct
could damage our reputation and, depending on the circumstances, subject us to, among other things, civil and criminal
penalties, material fines, equitable remedies (including profit disgorgement and injunctions on future conduct), securities
litigation and a general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could have a material adverse impact on our
business prospects, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the market value of our stock. We also rely
on our suppliers to adhere to our Supplier Code of Conduct, violations of which could adversely affect our business and
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our operations are subject to regulatory risks.
Our U.S. and non-U.S. operations are subject to a number of laws and regulations, including among others, laws related
to the environment, commercial trade, technology, and health and safety. We have made, and will be required to
continue to make, significant expenditures to comply with these laws and regulations. Any violations of applicable laws
and regulations could lead to significant penalties, fines or other sanctions. Changes in current laws and regulations
could require us to increase our compliance expenditures, cause us to significantly alter or discontinue offering existing
products and services or cause us to develop new products and services. Altering current products and services or
developing new products and services to comply with changes in the applicable laws and regulations could require
significant research and development investments, increase the cost of providing the products and services and
adversely affect the demand for our products and services. The U.S. federal government and various states and
municipalities have enacted or may enact legislation intended to deny government contracts to U.S. companies that
reincorporate outside of the U.S. or have reincorporated outside of the U.S or may take other actions negatively impacting
such companies. If we are unable to effectively respond to changes to applicable laws and regulations, interpretations of
applicable laws and regulations, or comply with existing and future laws and regulations, our competitive position, results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely impacted.
Global climate change and related regulations could negatively affect our business.
Climate change presents immediate and long-term risks to our Company and to our customers, with the risks expected
to increase over time, including, among others, acute physical risks (such as flooding, hurricanes, or wildfires) or
chronic physical risks (such as droughts, heat waves, or sea level changes). Our products and operations are subject
to and affected by environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the U.S. and regulatory authorities
with jurisdiction over our international operations, including with respect to the use, storage, and dependence upon
refrigerants which are considered greenhouse gases. Refrigerants are essential to many of our products and there
is concern regarding the global warming potential of such materials. As such, national, regional and international
regulations and policies have been implemented to curtail the use of certain refrigerants. Some of these regulations
could have a negative competitive impact on our company by requiring us to make costly changes to our products,
or could make some of our existing HVAC and refrigeration products non-compliant or obsolete. As regulations reduce
the use and potential availability of the current class of widely used refrigerants, we are developing and selling our next
generation products that utilize lower global warming potential solutions. There can be no assurance that climate change
or environmental regulation or deregulation will not have a negative competitive impact on our ability to sell our products
or that economic returns will match the investment that we are making in new product development. We face increasing
22
Part I
complexity related to product design, the availability and use of materials, the associated energy consumption and
efficiency related to the use of products, the transportation and shipping of products, climate change regulations, and
the reuse, recycling and/or disposal of products and their components at end-of-use or useful life as we adjust to new
and future requirements relating to our transition to a more circular economy. There continues to be a lack of consistent
climate legislation, which creates economic and regulatory uncertainty. Such regulatory uncertainty extends to future
incentives for energy efficient buildings and vehicles and costs of compliance, which may impact the demand for our
products, obsolescence of our products and our results of operations. Changes regarding climate risk management and
practices may result in higher regulatory, compliance risks and costs.
Failure to achieve our sustainability commitments, address stakeholder expectations related to sustainability, or
meet evolving legal requirements related to sustainability could harm our reputation, business operations, and
financial performance.
We have previously announced certain defined sustainability commitments with a goal of achieving these commitments
by 2030. We also periodically announce new initiatives and product innovations that further our sustainability commitments.
We are on track with our climate commitment to offer a full line of next generation products by 2030 without compromising
safety or energy efficiency. Additionally, in 2019, we announced our 2030 commitment which targets reducing one gigaton –
one billion metric tons – of carbon emissions (CO2e) from our customers’ footprint by 2030. While we are committed to
pursuing these sustainability objectives, our ability to achieve our sustainability objectives is subject to numerous risks and
uncertainties, including increased operating costs and future changes in regulation, and there can be no assurance that
we will successfully achieve our commitments or that any future investments we make in furtherance of achieving our
sustainability targets and goals will meet investor expectations or any future legal requirements regarding sustainability
performance. If we are unable to meet our targets and goals, it could result in reputational and other harm to our company,
adverse publicity and reaction from investors, activist groups and other stakeholders, which could adversely impact
our financial condition and results of operations. Stakeholders are increasingly scrutinizing sustainability practices, and
stakeholders’ expectations regarding these practices are diverse and rapidly changing. Furthermore, many jurisdictions where
we operate have enacted or are in the process of enacting legislation regarding sustainability reporting, monitoring, and other
requirements. Failure to meet these evolving legal requirements may subject us to fines, penalties, or other legal obligations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Our business strategy includes acquiring businesses, product lines, technologies and capabilities, plants and
other assets, entering into joint ventures and making investments that complement our existing businesses. We
also occasionally divest businesses that we own. We may not identify acquisition or joint venture candidates or
investment opportunities at the same rate as the past. Acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures and investments
that we identify could be unsuccessful or consume significant resources, which could adversely affect our
operating results.
Consistent with our growth strategy, we continue to analyze and evaluate the acquisition and divestiture of strategic
businesses and product lines, technologies and capabilities, plants and other assets, joint ventures and investments
with the potential to, among other things, strengthen our industry position, enhance our existing set of product and
services offerings, increase productivity and efficiencies, grow revenues, earnings and cash flow, help us stay competitive
or reduce costs. There can be no assurance that we will identify or successfully complete transactions with suitable
candidates in the future, that we will consummate these transactions at rates similar to the past or that completed
transactions will be successful. Strategic transactions may involve significant cash expenditures, debt incurrence,
operating losses and expenses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. Such transactions involve numerous other risks, including:
• diversion of management time and attention from daily operations;
• difficulties integrating acquired businesses, technologies and personnel into our business, including doing so without
high costs;
• difficulties in obtaining and verifying the financial statements and other business and other due diligence information
of acquired businesses;
23
2025 Annual Report
Part I
• inability to obtain required regulatory approvals and/or required financing on favorable terms;
• potential loss of key employees, key contractual relationships or key customers of either acquired businesses
or our business;
• assumption of the liabilities and exposure to unforeseen or undisclosed liabilities of acquired businesses, and
exposure to regulatory sanctions;
• inheriting internal control deficiencies;
• dilution of interests of holders of our common shares through the issuance of equity securities or equity-linked
securities; and
• in the case of joint ventures and other investments, interests that diverge from those of our partners without the
ability to direct the management and operations of the joint venture or investment in the manner we believe most
appropriate to achieve the expected value.
Any acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures or investments may ultimately harm our business, financial condition,
results of operations, cash flows, and/or our stock price.
Natural disasters or other unexpected catastrophic events may disrupt our operations and our supply chain, and
may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, and may not be fully covered by insurance.
The occurrence of one or more catastrophic events including hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, floods and other forms of
severe weather, health epidemics or pandemics or other contagious outbreaks or other catastrophic events, including
wars, conflicts, or terrorism in the U.S. or in other countries in which we operate or are located could adversely affect
our operations and financial performance. Natural disasters, power outages, health epidemics or pandemics or other
contagious outbreaks or other unexpected events, including wars, conflicts, or acts of terrorism, could result in physical
damage to and complete or partial closure of one or more of our plants, temporary or long-term disruption of our
operations by causing business interruptions, material scarcity, price volatility or supply chain disruptions. Climate change
is a risk multiplier with respect to these physical disasters in both frequency and severity and may affect our global
business operations as a result. Existing insurance arrangements may not provide full protection for the costs that may
arise from such events, particularly if such events are catastrophic in nature or occur in combination. The occurrence of
any of these events could increase our insurance and other operating costs or harm our sales in affected areas.
Our business success depends on attracting, developing, and retaining highly qualified talent.
The skills, experience, industry knowledge, and relationships built by our employees significantly benefit our operations
and performance. The market for employees and leaders with certain skills and experiences is very competitive, and
difficulty attracting, developing, and retaining members of our management team and key employees, or a failure to
adequately ensure effective succession planning or knowledge transfer, could have a negative effect on our business,
operating results, and financial condition. Maintaining a positive and inclusive culture and work environment, offering
attractive compensation, benefits, and development opportunities, and effectively implementing processes and
technology that enable our employees to work effectively and efficiently are important to our ability to attract and
retain employees.
Our business may be adversely affected by temporary work stoppages, union negotiations, labor disputes and
other matters associated with our labor force.
Certain of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements or works councils. We experience from
time-to-time temporary work stoppages, union negotiations, labor disputes and other matters associated with our
labor force and some of these events could result in significant increases in our cost of labor, impact our productivity
or damage our reputation. Additionally, a work stoppage at one of our suppliers could materially and adversely affect
our operations if an alternative source of supply were not readily available. Stoppages by employees of our customers
could also result in reduced demand for our products.

Part I
RISKS RELATING TO TAX MATTERS
Changes in tax or other laws, regulations or treaties, changes in our status under U.S. or non-U.S. laws or adverse
determinations by taxing or other governmental authorities could increase our tax burden or otherwise affect our
financial condition or operating results, as well as subject our shareholders to additional taxes.
The taxes associated with our operations and corporate structure could be impacted by changes in tax or other laws,
treaties or regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof by the U.S. or non-U.S. tax or other governmental
authorities. Even after legislation is enacted, further guidance, regulations and technical corrections pertaining to the
legislation continue to be issued by the tax authorities, some of which may have retroactive application (including
regulations and other guidance promulgated under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (OBBBA)). We continue to monitor
and review new guidance and regulations as they are issued, as any changes could have a material adverse effect on our
financial statements. In addition, governmental authorities are actively engaged in formulating new legislative proposals.
Any future legislative changes to the tax laws and judicial or regulatory interpretation thereof, the geographic mix of
earnings, changes in overall profitability, and other factors could also materially impact our effective tax rate.
We continue to monitor for other tax changes, U.S. (including state and local) and non-U.S. related, which can also
adversely impact our overall tax burden. From time to time, proposals have been made and/or legislation has been
introduced to change the tax laws, regulations or interpretations thereof of various jurisdictions or limit tax treaty benefits
that if enacted or implemented could materially increase our tax burden and/or effective tax rate and could have a material
adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD) framework consisting of an agreed set of international rules for fighting base erosion and
profit shifting, including Pillar One and Pillar Two, will adversely impact us as these rules are enacted into law in countries
in which we do business. On December 12, 2022, the European Union (EU) Member States agreed in principle on the
introduction of a global minimum tax rate (proposed 15% minimum tax rate). On December 18, 2023, Ireland (our parent
company jurisdiction) enacted laws related to this minimum tax, effective January 1, 2024. Our effective tax rate has been
adversely impacted by these changes; we continue to monitor the effects of proposed and enacted legislative changes, in
Ireland and elsewhere.
In addition to the above, the European Commission has been very active in investigating whether various tax regimes or
private tax rulings provided by a country to particular taxpayers may constitute State Aid. We cannot predict the outcome
of any of these potential changes or investigations in any of the jurisdictions, but if any of the above occurs and impacts
us, this could materially increase our tax burden and/or effective tax rate and could have a material adverse impact on our
financial condition and results of operations.
While we monitor proposals and other developments that would materially impact our tax burden and/or effective tax rate
and investigate our options, we could still be subject to increased taxation on a prospective basis no matter what action
we undertake if certain legislative proposals or regulatory changes are enacted, certain tax treaties are amended and/or
our interpretation of applicable tax or other laws is challenged and determined to be incorrect. In particular, any changes
and/or differing interpretations of applicable tax law that have the effect of disregarding the shareholders’ decision to
reorganize in Ireland, limiting our ability to take advantage of tax treaties between jurisdictions, modifying or eliminating
the deductibility of various currently deductible payments, or increasing the tax burden of operating or being resident in a
particular country could subject us to increased taxation.
In addition, tax authorities periodically review tax returns filed by us and can raise issues regarding our filing positions,
timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which we operate.
These examinations on their own, or any subsequent litigation related to the examinations, may result in additional taxes or
penalties against us. If the ultimate result of these audits differs from our original or adjusted estimates, they could have a
material impact on our tax provision.
25
2025 Annual Report
Part I
RISKS RELATED TO OUR IRISH DOMICILE
Irish law differs from the laws in effect in the United States and may afford less protection to holders of our securities.
The United States currently does not have a treaty with Ireland providing for the reciprocal recognition and
enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. As such, there is some uncertainty as to whether the
courts of Ireland would recognize or enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained against us or our directors or officers
based on U.S. federal or state civil liability laws, including the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities
laws, or hear actions against us or those persons based on those laws.
As an Irish company, we are governed by the Irish Companies Act, which differs in some material respects from laws
generally applicable to U.S. corporations and shareholders, including, among others, differences relating to interested
director and officer transactions, indemnification of directors and shareholder lawsuits. Likewise, the duties of directors
and officers of an Irish company generally are owed to the company only. Shareholders of Irish companies generally
do not have a personal right of action against directors or officers of the company and may exercise such rights of
action on behalf of the company only in limited circumstances. Accordingly, holders of our securities may have more
difficulty protecting their interests than would holders of securities of a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction of
the United States. In addition, Irish law does not allow for any form of legal proceedings directly equivalent to the
shareholder class action available in the United States.
Irish law allows shareholders to authorize share capital which then can be issued by a board of directors without
shareholder approval. Also, subject to specified exceptions, Irish law grants statutory pre-emptive rights to existing
shareholders to subscribe for new issuances of shares for cash but allows shareholders to authorize the waiver of
the statutory pre-emptive rights with respect to any particular allotment of shares. Under Irish law, we must have
authority from our shareholders to issue any shares, including shares that are part of the Company’s authorized but
unissued share capital. In addition, unless otherwise authorized by its shareholders, when an Irish company issues
shares for cash to new shareholders, it is required first to offer those shares on the same or more favorable terms to
existing shareholders on a pro-rata basis. If we are unable to obtain these authorizations from our shareholders or
are otherwise limited by the terms of our authorizations, our ability to issue shares or otherwise raise capital could be
adversely affected.
Dividends and share repurchases are subject to uncertainty and could be modified, accelerated, or discontinued,
which could affect the price of our common stock.
Quarterly cash dividends are an important component of our capital allocation strategy, which we have historically
funded primarily with operating free cash flow. Although we expect to pay a competitive and growing dividend, we are
not required to pay any dividend and our dividend may be discontinued, accelerated, suspended or delayed at any
time without prior notice. Furthermore, the amount of such dividends may be changed, and the amount, timing and
frequency of such dividends may vary from historical practice or from our stated expectations. In addition, although our
Board of Directors has granted us authority to repurchase our shares under a share repurchase program, we are not
required to repurchase any shares, and any previous share repurchases do not necessarily denote our expectations
of future share repurchases. Important factors that could cause us to discontinue, limit, suspend, increase or delay our
quarterly cash dividends or share repurchase program include market conditions, the market price of our common
stock, the nature and timing of other investment and acquisition opportunities, changes in our business strategy, the
terms of our financing arrangements, our outlook as to the ability to obtain financing at attractive rates, the impact on
our credit ratings, changes in tax laws, and appropriate liquidity.
Dividends received by our shareholders may be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax.
In certain circumstances, we are required to deduct Irish dividend withholding tax (currently at the rate of 25%) from
dividends paid to our shareholders. In the majority of cases, shareholders resident in the United States will not be subject
to Irish withholding tax, and shareholders resident in a number of other countries will not be subject to Irish withholding tax
provided that they complete certain Irish dividend withholding tax forms. However, some shareholders may be subject to
withholding tax, which could have an adverse impact on the price of our shares.
26
Part I
Dividends received by our shareholders could be subject to Irish income tax.
Dividends paid in respect of our shares will generally not be subject to Irish income tax where the beneficial owner
of these dividends is exempt from dividend withholding tax, unless the beneficial owner of the dividend has some
connection with Ireland other than his or her shareholding in Trane Technologies plc.
Our shareholders who receive their dividends subject to Irish dividend withholding tax will generally have no further
liability to Irish income tax on the dividends unless the beneficial owner of the dividend has some connection with Ireland
other than his or her shareholding in Trane Technologies plc.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
We maintain a cybersecurity program and framework as set forth in our cybersecurity policies and standards. The
foundation of our cybersecurity program is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”)
Cybersecurity Framework, which includes a set of controls to prevent, detect, and respond to cybersecurity threats
and incidents. These controls include constant monitoring, log collection and analysis, threat hunting and intelligence
surveillance, and regular vulnerability scans/penetration tests. Additionally, in furtherance of assessing, identifying and
managing material cybersecurity risks, we:
• Leverage technology solutions, including proactive detection tools, to protect our assets and detect threats in our
environment;
• Perform regular internal assessments of our cybersecurity program against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
The results of these assessments are then reviewed and, based on such findings, action plans are developed and
progress tracked through completion;
• Analyze both internal and external cybersecurity incidents and related threat intelligence to determine applicability to
our environment and industry. Findings from such analyses are then reviewed and utilized to create action plans where
applicable and relevant to our environment and industry;
• Maintain an enterprise-wide disaster recovery governance program, which includes cybersecurity-related disaster
recovery standards and compliance procedures related thereto;
• Regularly perform cybersecurity-related disaster recovery testing to ensure that the Company’s mission-critical
systems are recoverable, in support of the business continuity needs of our various business lines;
• Maintain an operational technology (OT) security program to address cyber risks that are inherent and unique to our
industry and manufacturing environment;
• Maintain a centralized product security program that unifies company-wide strategy to ensure our customer-facing
products and services are secure by design; and
• Integrate each of our business and corporate groups with our internal cybersecurity team to ensure cybersecurity
requirements are embedded into operating environments as appropriate, which drives business strategies, budgeting,
and similar processes. In addition, senior and executive management, as well as our Board of Directors, regularly
review our financial planning processes for these areas, inclusive of our cybersecurity programs.
Any changes or additions to our cybersecurity program and related practices and procedures described above in
response to cybersecurity needs are reviewed by our executive management, Board of Directors and Audit Committee.
We regularly engage independent third-parties and auditors to assess our cybersecurity program and practices
and assist in the mitigation of risk. The effectiveness of our cybersecurity environment is regularly tested by internal
personnel and these third-parties. These assessments are performed in connection with standards and requirements
under the Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security standard, Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and the U.S. Department
of Defense, cybersecurity capability maturity benchmarking and voluntary certifications by us, such as the Service
Organization Control Type 2 (SOC 2). The results of these audits and assessments are promptly reviewed and
enhancements are made to our cybersecurity program and practices based on such findings as appropriate. We
27
2025 Annual Report
Part I
also maintain a cybersecurity third party risk management program which evaluates third parties that either host or
have access to our data and/or systems to ensure that they are aligned with our security requirements. The program
includes initial review, ongoing monitoring and contractual agreements with cybersecurity requirements to ensure third
party services meet our standards for such providers, and the cybersecurity risks associated with the use of these
services is acceptable.
Like other comparable-sized companies, our information technology systems, networks and infrastructure and
technology embedded in certain of our control products have been and may continue to be vulnerable to cyber-attacks
and unauthorized security intrusions. These types of attacks may include computer viruses, malicious code,
unauthorized access, phishing attempts, denial-of-service attacks, among others. For more information about these and
other cybersecurity risks faced by us, see Part IA, Item 1A, “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Technology.”
Our Board of Directors has ultimate oversight for risks relating to our cybersecurity program and practices and receives
regular updates from our internal cybersecurity team on cybersecurity risks and threats. In addition, our Audit Committee
provides Board-level oversight for management’s actions with respect to practices, procedures and controls used to
identify, assess and manage our key cybersecurity programs and risks. The Audit Committee receives a report from
our Chief Information Security Officer on cybersecurity matters at least twice per year. We also maintain an Enterprise
Risk Intelligence Committee (ERIC), a management-level cross-functional group designed to monitor and mitigate risks,
including cybersecurity risks, that pose a threat to our strategic objectives. The ERIC is charged with providing guidance
and direction for integrating enterprise risk intelligence with important business processes, such as strategic planning,
business forecasting, operational management, and investment allocation to ensure consistent consideration of risks
in decision making. Finally, we maintain an Enterprise Cybersecurity Governance Committee (ECGC) that presents
updates on cybersecurity initiatives, known and emerging issues and risks, and program updates to a cross-section of
our senior management. ERIC members are leaders responsible for assessing, managing, and reporting on enterprise
risks, including, but not limited to, Cybersecurity. ECGC members are leaders whose roles and responsibilities require
engagement with and input into the enterprise Cybersecurity program. Members involved in these committees possess
experience across general management, risk management, cybersecurity and technology.
Item 2. Properties
As of December 31, 2025, we owned or leased approximately 31 million square feet of space worldwide. Manufacturing
and assembly operations are principally conducted in 38 plants across the world. We also maintain various warehouses,
offices, technology centers, and repair centers throughout the world. The majority of our plant facilities are owned by
us with the remainder under long-term lease arrangements. We believe that our plants have been well maintained, are
generally in good condition and are suitable for conducting our business.

environmental liabilities, intellectual property disputes, and tax-related matters. In our opinion, pending legal matters are
not expected to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or cash flows.
The most significant litigation facing the Company is the asbestos-related bankruptcy cases of Aldrich and Murray. For
detailed information on the bankruptcy cases of Aldrich and Murray, see Part I, Item 1, “Business - Asbestos-Related

SIGNIFICANT MATTERS
REORGANIZATION OF ALDRICH AND MURRAY
On June 18, 2020 (Petition Date), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aldrich and Murray each filed a voluntary petition for
reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, all asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich
and Murray have been stayed due to the imposition of a statutory automatic stay applicable in Chapter 11 bankruptcy
cases. Only Aldrich and Murray have filed for Chapter 11 relief. Neither Aldrich’s wholly-owned subsidiary, 200 Park, Murray’s
wholly-owned subsidiary, ClimateLabs, nor the Trane Companies are part of the Chapter 11 filings.
The goal of these Chapter 11 filings is to resolve equitably and permanently all current and future asbestos-related claims in
a manner beneficial to claimants, Aldrich and Murray through court approval of a plan of reorganization that would create
a trust pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, establish claims resolution procedures for all current and future
asbestos-related claims against Aldrich and Murray and channel such claims to the trust for resolution in accordance with
those procedures.
Aldrich and its wholly-owned subsidiary 200 Park and Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClimateLabs were
deconsolidated as of the Petition Date and their respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
On August 26, 2021, the Company announced that Aldrich and Murray reached an agreement in principle with the FCR in
the bankruptcy proceedings. The agreement in principle includes the key terms for the permanent resolution of all current
and future asbestos claims against Aldrich and Murray pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the Plan). Under the agreed
terms, the Plan would create a trust pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and establish claims resolution
procedures for all current and future claims against Aldrich and Murray (Asbestos Claims).
On September 24, 2021, Aldrich and Murray filed the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan is supported by and reflects
the agreement in principle reached with the FCR. On the same date, in connection with the Plan, Aldrich and Murray filed a
motion to create a $270.0 million trust intended to constitute a “qualified settlement fund” within the meaning of the Treasury
Regulations under Section 468B of the Internal Revenue Code (QSF). On January 27, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted
the request to fund the QSF, which was funded on March 2, 2022, resulting in an operating cash outflow of $270.0 million
reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, of which $91.8 million was allocated to continuing operations and
$178.2 million was allocated to discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2022.
33
2025 Annual Report
Part II
Certain individual claimants and the ACC filed Motions to dismiss the bankruptcy proceedings on April 6, 2023 and May 15,
2023, respectively (the Motions to Dismiss). The Bankruptcy Court denied the Motions to Dismiss, and the District Court and
the Fourth Circuit declined to review the Bankruptcy Court’s ruling. In addition, on January 23, 2023, an individual claimant
filed a motion to lift the automatic stay imposed by the Bankruptcy Code to pursue its asbestos suit against Aldrich and
Murray notwithstanding the Chapter 11 cases (the Stay Relief Motion). Aldrich and Murray, the FCR, and certain non-debtor
affiliates each opposed the Stay Relief Motion. The Bankruptcy Court denied the Stay Relief Motion. The individual claimant
filed a notice appealing the order denying the Stay Relief Motion to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North
Carolina (the District Court). The District Court has entered an order staying all deadlines in the appeal of the order denying
the Stay Relief Motion pending the outcome of a separate appeal before the Fourth Circuit in another bankruptcy case
pending in the Bankruptcy Court.
It is not possible to predict whether the Bankruptcy Court will approve the terms of the Plan, what the extent of the
asbestos liability will be or how long the Chapter 11 cases will last. On December 17, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court granted the
FCR’s motion to streamline the Bankruptcy Court proceedings to estimate the Debtors’ asbestos-related liabilities. The first
phase of the estimation hearing will commence the week of August 10, 2026. The Chapter 11 cases remain pending as of
February 5, 2026.
For detailed information on the bankruptcy cases of Aldrich and Murray, see Part I, Item 1, “Business - Asbestos-Related
Matters,” Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Litigation,” Part I, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” and Part II, Item 8,
Consolidated Financial Statements, and Note 20, “Commitments and Contingencies.”
TRENDS AND ECONOMIC EVENTS
We are a global corporation with worldwide operations. As a global business, our operations are affected by worldwide,
regional and industry-specific economic factors as well as geopolitical, environmental and social factors wherever we
operate or do business. Our geographic diversity and the breadth of our products and services portfolios have helped
mitigate the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results.
Given our broad range of products manufactured and geographic markets served, management uses a variety of
factors to predict the outlook for the Company. We monitor key competitors and customers in order to gauge relative
performance and the outlook for the future. We regularly perform detailed evaluations of the different market segments
we serve to proactively detect trends and to adapt our strategies accordingly, including potential triggers and actions to
be taken under recessionary and other macroeconomic scenarios. In addition, we believe our backlog and order levels
are indicative of future revenue and thus are a key measure of anticipated performance.
Conditions remain mixed across our served end markets and geographies. Overall Commercial HVAC markets in
Americas and EMEA remain strong due to demand for our differentiated customer driven solutions and the benefits of
installing energy efficient products and decarbonizing the built environment. In Asia, markets remain dynamic with mixed
macro-economic conditions across the region. Transport refrigeration markets continue to experience weaker demand,
particularly in the United States. Residential markets have weakened considerably throughout 2025 due to navigating
a regulatory refrigerant transition and softer consumer demand, while uncertainties remain from economic risks and
higher interest rates.
Our performance may be impacted by future developments that are uncertain. Geopolitical risks and macroeconomic
developments, including changes in global trade policies, tariffs and other measures could cause disruptions to operations,
supply chains, end markets, financial markets and overall economic conditions which could negatively impact our business.
We continue to monitor macroeconomic indicators and uncertainties resulting from the tariffs announced and
implemented by the United States in 2025, as well as the tariffs imposed by other countries in response. These global
trade policy changes continue to be dynamic and, as a result, we may experience supply chain challenges, commodity
cost volatility, and consumer and economic uncertainty. We believe our business operating system, our in-region for
region strategy, and strength in execution will enable us to navigate potential risks stemming from these recent events.
34
Part II
We believe we have a solid foundation of global brands that are highly differentiated in all of our major product lines.
Our geographic mix, our diverse portfolio, and our large installed product base, provide growth opportunities from
replacement demand and within our service revenue streams. Additionally, we are investing substantial resources to
innovate and develop new products and services which we expect to drive future growth.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
ORGANIC REVENUE
We define organic revenue as net revenues adjusted for the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures. Organic
revenue is not defined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and may not be comparable to
similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for revenue as determined
in accordance with GAAP. Selected references are made to revenue growth on an organic basis so that certain financial
results can be viewed without the impacts of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and acquisitions, thereby providing
comparisons of operating performance from period to period of the business that we have owned during both periods
presented. We believe organic revenue growth provides investors with useful supplemental information about our
revenues in both periods presented.
SEGMENT ADJUSTED EBITDA
We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, restructuring, merger and acquisition transaction costs, unallocated corporate expenses, discontinued
operations and other significant non-recurring or non-cash items. Segment Adjusted EBITDA, and ratios based on it,
are used in the development of annual operating plans, including capital expenditure and operational budgets, and
in measuring performance against targets for purposes of incentive compensation. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also
provides a useful tool for assessing the operating performance and comparability between periods and our ability to
generate cash because it excludes the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items that can vary significantly
from period to period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-
titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results as
determined in accordance with GAAP.
SEGMENT ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME
We define Segment Adjusted Operating Income as operating income adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, merger
and acquisition transaction costs, and other significant non-recurring or non-cash items. Segment Adjusted Operating
Income, and ratios based on it, are used to provide a comprehensive view of segment profitability and evaluate efficient
returns on assets. Segment Adjusted Operating Income also provides a useful tool for assessing the comparability
between periods because it eliminates non-recurring items that can vary from period to period. Segment Adjusted
Operating Income is not defined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other
companies and should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results as determined in accordance
with GAAP.

Represents a non-GAAP measure. For more information, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by higher volumes as a result of stronger end-customer demand
within our Americas and EMEA segments, realization of price increases and incremental revenue from acquisitions. Refer
to “Results by Segment” below for a discussion of Net revenues by segment.
GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
Gross profit margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased 50 basis points to 36.2% compared to 35.7% for
the same period of 2024 primarily due to gross productivity and price realization, partially offset by inflation.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by 4.5%, or $162.4 million, compared
with the same period of 2024. The increase in Selling and administrative expenses was primarily driven by an increase in
human capital costs related to investing in our people, higher sales commissions, incremental selling and administrative
expenses of acquired businesses and higher levels of business reinvestment. Additionally, non-cash adjustments to
contingent consideration reduced Selling and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and
December 31, 2024 by $61.2 million and $25.0 million, respectively. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased 50 basis points from 18.1% to 17.6%. Excluding the effect of
contingent consideration adjustments, Selling and administrative expenses were 17.8% and 18.2% of Net revenues for the
years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Part II
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The 2025 and 2024 effective tax rate was 19.2% and 19.4%, respectively, which was higher than the Irish statutory rate of
12.5% primarily due to earnings that in the aggregate have a higher statutory tax rate, U.S. federal, state and local income
taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments, release of valuation allowance on
certain income tax credits and the U.S. Research and Development credit. When comparing the results of multiple
reporting periods, among other factors, the mix of earnings among global jurisdictions can cause variability in our overall
effective tax rate.
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 - SEGMENT RESULTS
We operate under three reportable segments designed to create deep customer focus and relevance in markets

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In
doing so, we review and analyze our current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding, inventory turns,
capital expenditure commitments and income tax payments. Our cash requirements primarily consist of the following:
• Business reinvestment
• Funding of working capital
• Debt service requirements
• Funding of capital expenditures
• Dividend payments
• Funding of acquisitions, joint ventures and equity investments
• Share repurchases
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash balances on hand, cash flows from operations, proceeds from debt
offerings, commercial paper, and borrowing availability under our existing credit facilities. We earn a significant amount of
our operating income in jurisdictions where it is deemed to be permanently reinvested. Our most prominent jurisdiction
of operation is the U.S. We expect existing cash and cash equivalents available to the U.S. operations, the cash generated
by our U.S. operations, our committed credit lines as well as our expected ability to access the capital and debt markets
will be sufficient to fund our U.S. operating and capital needs for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the
foreseeable future. In addition, we expect existing non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents and the cash generated by our
non-U.S. operations will be sufficient to fund our non-U.S. operating and capital needs for at least the next twelve months
and thereafter for the foreseeable future. The maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes
available to be issued, on a private placement basis, under the commercial paper program is $2.0 billion, of which we
had no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, we had $1,763.3 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, of which $1,653.8 million was
held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries are generally available for
use in our U.S. operations via intercompany loans, equity infusions or via distributions from direct or indirectly owned
non-U.S. subsidiaries for which we do not assert permanent reinvestment. In general, repatriation of cash to the U.S.
can be completed with no significant incremental U.S. tax. However, to the extent that we repatriate funds from non-
U.S. subsidiaries for which we assert permanent reinvestment to fund our U.S. operations, we would be required to
accrue and pay applicable non-U.S. taxes. As of December 31, 2025, we currently have no plans to repatriate funds from
subsidiaries for which we assert permanent reinvestment.
Share repurchases are made in accordance with our balanced capital allocation strategy, subject to market conditions
and regulatory requirements. In February 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of
our ordinary shares (2022 Authorization) and in December 2024, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to an additional $5.0 billion of our ordinary shares (2024 Authorization) upon the conclusion of the 2022 Authorization.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased and canceled $1.5 billion of ordinary shares, which exhausted
the 2022 Authorization and left $4.8 billion remaining under the 2024 Authorization. Additionally, during the period after
December 31, 2025 through January 30, 2026, we repurchased approximately $89 million of our ordinary shares under the
2024 Authorization.
We expect to pay a competitive and growing dividend. Since the launch of Trane Technologies in March 2020, we have
increased our quarterly dividend per share by 77%, from $0.53 to $0.94 per ordinary share, or $2.12 to $3.76 per share
annualized. All four 2025 quarterly dividends were paid during the year ended December 31, 2025. In February 2026, our
Board of Directors declared an increase in our quarterly share dividend by 12%, from $0.94 to $1.05 per ordinary share, or
$3.76 to $4.20 per share annualized starting in the first quarter of 2026.
39
2025 Annual Report
Part II
We continue to actively manage and strengthen our business portfolio to meet the current and future needs of our
customers. We achieve this partly through engaging in research and development and sustaining activities and
partly through acquisitions. Sustaining activities include costs incurred to reduce production costs, improve existing
products, create custom solutions for customers and provide support to our manufacturing facilities. Each year, we
make investments in new product development and new technology innovation as they are key factors in achieving our
strategic objectives as a leader in the climate sector. In addition, we make investments in technology and business for
our operational sustainability programs. Our research and development and sustaining costs account for approximately
2% of annual Net revenues.
In pursuing our business strategy, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate targets and enter into agreements
regarding possible acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and equity investments. We have acquired several businesses,
entered into joint ventures and invested in companies that complement existing products and services further
enhancing our product portfolio. We deployed capital of approximately $278 million and $197 million to acquisitions and
equity investments completed during the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In 2025
and through January 2026, we committed capital of approximately $720 million attributable to acquisitions and equity
investments that were closed in 2025 or are expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.
We incur costs associated with restructuring initiatives intended to result in improved operating performance, profitability
and working capital levels. Actions associated with these initiatives may include workforce reductions, improving
manufacturing productivity, realignment of management structures and rationalizing certain assets. We believe that our
existing cash balances, anticipated cash flow from operations, committed credit lines and access to the capital markets
will be sufficient to fund share repurchases, dividends, research and development, sustaining activities, business portfolio
changes and ongoing restructuring actions.
Certain of our subsidiaries entered into Funding Agreements with Aldrich and Murray pursuant to which those
subsidiaries are obligated, among other things, to pay the costs and expenses of Aldrich and Murray during the
pendency of the Chapter 11 cases to the extent distributions from their respective subsidiaries are insufficient to do so
and to provide an amount for the funding for a trust established pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code,
to the extent that the other assets of Aldrich and Murray are insufficient to provide the requisite trust funding. During
the third quarter of 2021, Aldrich and Murray filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to create a $270.0 million qualified
settlement fund (QSF). The funds held in the QSF would be available to provide funding for the Section 524(g) Trust upon
effectiveness of the Plan. On January 27, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted the request to fund the QSF, which was
funded on March 2, 2022.

corporate purposes. Under the program, the maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes
available to be issued, on a private placement basis, is $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2025. We had no commercial paper
outstanding at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. See Note 7, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of our short-term obligations.
Our long-term obligations primarily consist of long-term debt with final maturity dates ranging between 2027 and 2049.
In addition, we maintain two $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, one of which matures in April 2027 and
the other which matures in May 2030. The facilities provide support for our commercial paper program and can be used
for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Total commitments of $2.0 billion were unused at December 31,
2025 and December 31, 2024. See Note 7, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements and
further below in Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information for additional information regarding the terms of our
long-term obligations and their related guarantees.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $3,220.4 million, of which
net income provided $3,502.0 million after adjusting for non-cash transactions. Net cash provided by continuing operating
activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $3,177.7 million, of which net income provided $2,938.8 million after
adjusting for non-cash transactions. The year-over-year increase in net cash from continuing operating activities was
primarily due to higher net earnings.
Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities represents inflows and outflows regarding the purchase and sale of assets. Primary
activities associated with these items include capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of property, plant and
equipment, acquisitions, funding of joint ventures and other equity investments and purchases and sales of short-term
investments. During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations
was $640.0 million. The primary drivers of the usage were attributable to capital expenditures of $383.0 million and
acquisitions of businesses of $276.0 million, net of cash acquired. During the year ended December 31, 2024, net
cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $562.9 million. The primary drivers of the usage were
attributable to capital expenditures of $370.6 million and acquisitions of businesses of $180.3 million, net of cash acquired.
Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities represent inflows and outflows that account for external activities affecting equity
and debt. Primary activities associated with these actions include paying dividends to shareholders, repurchasing
our own shares, net proceeds from debt issuances and proceeds from shares issued in connection with incentive
plans. During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations
was $2,495.8 million. The primary drivers of the outflow related to the repurchase of $1,481.3 million in ordinary shares,
dividends paid to ordinary shareholders of $837.3 million, and the repayment of $157.3 million of Debentures that matured
in June 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities from continuing operations
was $2,020.6 million. The primary drivers of the outflow related to the repurchase of $1,280.8 million in ordinary shares and
dividends paid to ordinary shareholders of $757.5 million. In addition, we received $498.5 million in proceeds from the
issuance of 5.100% Senior Notes due March 2034, which was offset by the redemption of $500.0 million of 3.550% Senior
Notes that matured in November 2024.

Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and defined as Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities
adjusted for capital expenditures, cash payments for restructuring, legacy legal liability, merger and acquisition
(M&A) transaction costs and proceeds from sale of corporate asset less an adjustment for our special three-year
Outperformance Incentive Program. This measure is useful to management and investors because it is consistent with
management’s assessment of our operating cash flow performance. The most comparable GAAP measure to free
cash flow is Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities. Free cash flow may not be comparable to
similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for Net cash provided by
(used in) continuing operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

The Company implemented a special three-year Outperformance Incentive Program during the year ended December 31, 2024
that provides additional incentive-based cash compensation to eligible participants based primarily on the achievement of outsized
revenue performance beyond what is achievable under the Company’s existing short-term incentive programs. Performance is
measured over three annual periods representing the years ended December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026. Cash payments related
to performance achieved will be made in the quarter ended March 31, 2027. This adjustment represents amounts earned in the
respective performance period that will be paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2027.
PENSION PLANS
Our investment objective in managing defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit obligations
are met as they come due. We seek to achieve this goal while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status, contribution
and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. We use a dynamic
approach to asset allocation to increase fixed income assets as the plan’s funded status improves. We monitor plan funded
status and asset allocation regularly in addition to investment manager performance. In addition, we monitor the impact
of market conditions on our defined benefit plans on a regular basis. None of our defined benefit pension plans have
experienced a significant impact on their liquidity due to market volatility. See Note 11, “Pension and Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding pensions.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Based on historical performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents balance, the cash
generated from our operations, our committed credit lines and our expected ability to access capital markets, including
our commercial paper program, will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases,
upcoming debt maturities, and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for the foreseeable future.
Capital expenditures were $383.0 million, $370.6 million and $300.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024
and 2023, respectively. Our investments continue to improve manufacturing productivity, expand capacity, reduce costs,
provide environmental enhancements, upgrade information technology infrastructure and security and advanced
technologies for existing facilities. The capital expenditure program for 2026 is estimated to be approximately 2.0% of
revenues, including amounts approved in prior periods. Many of these projects are subject to review and cancellation at
our option without incurring substantial charges.

Market Risk.”

CAPITALIZATION
Financing rates and conditions associated with future borrowings under our commercial paper program or term debt
offerings will be affected by general financing conditions and our credit ratings. On December 22, 2025, Standard and
Poor’s announced that it upgraded our long-term credit rating of BBB+ to A- and upgraded our short-term credit rating
of A-2 to A-1. On April 7, 2025, Moody’s revised our long-term credit rating from A3 stable to A3 positive. As of December 31,
2025, our credit ratings were as follows:
SHORT-TERM

The credit ratings set forth above are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to
revision or withdrawal by the assigning rating organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any
other rating.
Our public debt does not contain financial covenants and our revolving credit lines have a debt-to-total capital covenant
of 65%. As of December 31, 2025, our debt-to-total capital ratio was significantly beneath this limit.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Our contractual cash obligations include required payments of long-term debt principal and interest, purchase
obligations and expected obligations under our pension and postretirement benefit plans. In addition, we have required
payments of operating leases, income taxes and expected obligations under the Funding Agreements, environmental
and product liability matters. For additional information regarding leases, income taxes, including unrecognized tax
benefits, and contingent liabilities, see Note 10 “Leases,” Note 16 “Income Taxes” and Note 20 “Commitments and
Contingencies,” respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our material cash requirements include the
following contractual and other obligations.
DEBT
At December 31, 2025, we had outstanding aggregate long-term debt principal payments of $4,615.1 million, with $693.0 million
payable within 12 months. The amount payable within 12 months includes $293.1 million of debt redeemable at the option of
the holder. The scheduled maturities of these bonds range between 2027 and 2028. Future interest payments on long-
term debt total $2,127.8 million, with $208.3 million payable within 12 months. See Note 7, “Debt and Credit Facilities,” to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding debt.
PURCHASE OBLIGATIONS
Purchase obligations include commitments under legally enforceable contracts or purchase orders. At December 31,
2025, we had purchase obligations of $1,245.1 million, which are primarily payable within 12 months.
PENSIONS
It is our objective to contribute to the pension plans to ensure adequate funds are available in the plans to make
benefit payments to plan participants and beneficiaries when required. We currently expect that we will contribute
approximately $84 million to our pension plans worldwide in 2026, a portion of which may be funded by assets held in
an employer-owned trust. The timing and amounts of future contributions are dependent upon the funding status of the
plans, which is expected to vary as a result of changes in interest rates, returns on underlying assets, and other factors.
See Note 11, “Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information regarding pensions.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
We fund postretirement benefit costs principally on a pay-as-you-go basis as medical costs are incurred by covered
retiree populations. Benefit payments, which are net of expected plan participant contributions and Medicare Part D
subsidy, are expected to be approximately $27 million in 2026. See Note 11, “Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other
Than Pensions,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding postretirement benefits
other than pensions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our Consolidated
Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions
based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant
effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently
uncertain. Actual results may differ from these estimates. If updated information or actual amounts are different from previous
estimates, the revisions are included in our results for the period in which they become known.
The following is a summary of certain accounting estimates and assumptions made by management that we consider critical.
• Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets – We have significant goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on
our balance sheet related to acquisitions. These assets are tested and reviewed annually during the fourth quarter
for impairment or when there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of
an asset is more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the asset. In addition, an interim impairment test
is completed upon a triggering event or when there is a reorganization of reporting structure or disposal of all or a
portion of a reporting unit.
The determination of estimated fair value requires us to make assumptions about estimated cash flows, including
profit margins, long-term forecasts, discount rates and terminal growth rates. We developed these assumptions based
on the market and geographic risks unique to each reporting unit. The estimates of fair value are based on the best
information available as of the date of the assessment, which primarily incorporates management assumptions about
expected future cash flows.
Annual Goodwill Impairment Test
Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level. The test compares the carrying amount of the reporting
unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the
reporting unit is not impaired. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value,
an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair
value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill in that reporting unit.
As quoted market prices are not available for our reporting units, the calculation of their estimated fair value is
determined using three valuation techniques: a discounted cash flow model (an income approach), a market-adjusted
multiple of earnings or revenues (a market approach), and a similar transactions method (also a market approach).
The discounted cash flow approach relies on our estimates of future cash flows and explicitly addresses factors
such as timing, revenue growth rates, and margins, with due consideration given to forecasting risk. The market-
adjusted multiple of earnings or revenues approach reflects the market’s expectations for future growth and risk, with
45
2025 Annual Report
Part II
adjustments to account for differences between the guideline publicly traded companies and the subject reporting
units. The similar transactions method considers prices paid in transactions that have recently occurred in our industry
or in related industries. These valuation techniques are weighted 50%, 40% and 10%, respectively.
Under the income approach, we assumed a forecasted cash flow period of five to ten years with discount rates
ranging from 9.5% to 13.5% and a terminal growth rate of 3.5% to 4.0%. Under the guideline public company method,
we used multiples of EBITDA or revenues based on the market information of comparable companies. Additionally,
we compared the estimated aggregate fair value of our reporting units to our overall market capitalization. The excess
of the estimated fair value over carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value) for most reporting units
exceeded 300%. Two reporting units had estimated fair values that did not significantly exceed their carrying value.
Changes in business or market conditions, valuation assumptions, or other relevant inputs could adversely impact the
fair value estimates of these reporting units and lead to the recognition of an impairment loss. The combined goodwill
of these two reporting units was $355.0 million as of December 31, 2025.
OTHER INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment on an annual basis. The fair value of
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is determined on a relief from royalty methodology (income approach)
which is based on the implied royalty paid, at an appropriate discount rate, to license the use of an asset rather than
owning the asset. The present value of the after-tax cost savings (i.e., royalty relief) indicates the estimated fair value of
the asset. Any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value would be recognized as an impairment loss
equal to that excess.
In testing our other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we forecasted revenues for a period of five years
with discount rates ranging from 9.5% to 14.5%, terminal growth rates of 3.5%, and royalty rates ranging from 1.0% to 4.5%.
For significant indefinite-lived intangible assets, the excess of the estimated fair value over carrying value (expressed as
a percentage of carrying value) exceeded 400%. A significant increase in the discount rate, decrease in the long-term
growth rate, decrease in the royalty rate or substantial reductions in our end markets and volume assumptions could
have a negative impact on the estimated fair values of any of our tradenames.
• Business combinations – Acquisitions that meet the definition of a business combination are recorded using the
acquisition method of accounting. We include the operating results of acquired entities from their respective dates
of acquisition. We recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, including contingent
consideration relating to potential earnout provisions and any non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date fair
value. The valuation of intangible assets is determined using an income approach methodology. We use assumptions
to value the intangible assets including projected cash flows, revenue growth rates and margins, customer attrition
rates, royalty rates, tax rates and discount rates. The excess, if any, of total consideration transferred in a business
combination over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest is
recognized as goodwill. Costs incurred as a result of a business combination other than costs related to the issuance
of debt or equity securities are recorded in the period the costs are incurred.
• Revenue recognition – Revenue is recognized when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance
obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and
obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. A majority of our revenues are recognized
at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time per the terms of a contract. However, a portion of
our revenues are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives control as we perform work under a
contract. For these arrangements, the cost-to-cost input method (percentage of completion) is used as it best depicts
the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as we incur costs.
The transaction price allocated to performance obligations reflects our expectations about the consideration we
will be entitled to receive from a customer. To determine the transaction price, variable and non-cash consideration
are assessed as well as whether a significant financing component exists. We include variable consideration in
the estimated transaction price when it is probable that significant reversal of revenue recognized would not occur
when the uncertainty associated with variable consideration is subsequently resolved. We consider historical data in
determining our best estimates of variable consideration, and the related accruals are recorded using the expected
value method.
46
Part II
We enter into sales arrangements that contain multiple goods and services. For these arrangements, each good or
service is evaluated to determine whether it represents a distinct performance obligation and whether the sales price
for each obligation is representative of standalone selling price. If available, we utilize observable prices for goods or
services sold separately to similar customers in similar circumstances to evaluate relative standalone selling price. List
prices are used if they are determined to be representative of standalone selling prices. Where necessary, we ensure
that the total transaction price is then allocated to the distinct performance obligations based on the determination of
their relative standalone selling price at the inception of the arrangement.
We recognize revenue for delivered goods or services when the delivered good or service is distinct, control of the
good or service has transferred to the customer, and only customary refund or return rights related to the goods or
services exist. For extended warranties and long-term service agreements, revenue for these distinct performance
obligations are recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the respective contract term.
• Income taxes – Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in
which the differences are expected to reverse. We recognize future tax benefits, such as net operating losses and tax
credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in our judgment to be more likely than not. We regularly
review the recoverability of our deferred tax assets considering our historic profitability, projected future taxable
income, timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of our tax planning strategies.
Where appropriate, we record a valuation allowance with respect to a future tax benefit.
The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of
relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of
taxable income, and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by us. In addition, tax
authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by us and can raise issues regarding our filing positions, timing
and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which we operate.
A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an
issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. We believe that we have adequately provided for any
reasonably foreseeable resolution of these matters. We will adjust our estimate if significant events so dictate. To the
extent that the ultimate results differ from our original or adjusted estimates, the effect will be recorded in the provision
for income taxes in the period that the matter is finally resolved.
• Employee benefit plans – We provide a range of benefits, including pensions, postretirement and postemployment
benefits to eligible employees and retirees. Determining the cost associated with such benefits is dependent on
various actuarial assumptions including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation increases,
mortality, turnover rates and healthcare cost trend rates. Actuaries perform the required calculations to determine
expense in accordance with GAAP. Actual results may differ from the actuarial assumptions and are generally
accumulated into Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into Net earnings over future
periods. We review our actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and make modifications to the assumptions
based on current rates and trends, if appropriate. The discount rate, the rate of compensation increase and the
expected long-term rates of return on plan assets are determined as of each measurement date. We believe that the
assumptions utilized in recording our obligations under our plans are reasonable based on input from our actuaries,
outside investment advisors and information as to assumptions used by plan sponsors.
Changes in any of the assumptions can have an impact on the net periodic pension cost or postretirement benefit
cost. Estimated sensitivities to the expected 2026 net periodic pension cost of a 0.25% rate decline in the two basic
assumptions are as follows: the decline in the discount rate would increase expense by $0.2 million and the decline in
the estimated return on assets would increase expense by $4.6 million. A 0.25% rate decrease in the discount rate for
postretirement benefits would increase expected 2026 net periodic postretirement benefit cost by $0.3 million.

See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of
recent accounting pronouncements.
47
2025 Annual Report
Part II
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices which could impact our
results of operations and financial condition.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXPOSURES
We have operations throughout the world that manufacture and sell products in various international markets. We also
have investments in our subsidiaries located in foreign countries. As a result, we are exposed to movements in exchange
rates of various currencies against the U.S. dollar as well as against other currencies throughout the world.
Many of our non-U.S. operations have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, and their results are translated into
U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Therefore, our reported results will be higher or lower depending on the weakening
or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the respective foreign currency. Our largest concentration of revenues from
non-U.S. operations as of December 31, 2025 are in Euros and Chinese Yuan. A hypothetical 10% unfavorable change in the
average exchange rate used to translate Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 from either Euros or Chinese
Yuan-based operations into U.S. dollars would result in a decline of approximately $180 million and $50 million, respectively.
We use derivative instruments to partially hedge those material exposures that cannot be naturally offset. The instruments
utilized are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. To minimize the risk
of counterparty non-performance, derivative instrument agreements are made only through major financial institutions
with significant experience in such derivative instruments.
We evaluate our exposure to changes in currency exchange rates on our foreign currency derivatives using a sensitivity
analysis. The sensitivity analysis is a measurement of the potential loss in fair value based on a percentage change in
exchange rates. Based on the currency derivative instruments in place at December 31, 2025, a hypothetical change
in fair value of those derivative instruments assuming a 10% adverse change in exchange rates would result in an
unrealized loss of $18.4 million, as compared with $15.5 million at December 31, 2024. These amounts, when realized, would
be offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying transactions.
COMMODITY PRICE EXPOSURES
We are exposed to volatility in the prices of commodities used in some of our products and we use commodity hedge
contracts in the financial derivatives market and fixed price purchase contracts to manage this exposure. Commodity
risks are systematically managed pursuant to policy guidelines. As a cash flow hedge, gains and losses resulting from the
hedging instruments mitigate a portion of our exposures to changes in commodity prices. The maturities of the commodity
hedge contracts coincide with the expected purchase of the commodities. Based on the commodity derivative instruments
in place at December 31, 2025, a hypothetical change in fair value of those derivative instruments assuming a 10% decrease
in commodity prices would result in an unrealized loss of $18.4 million, as compared with $12.7 million at December 31, 2024.
These amounts, when realized, would be offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying commodity purchases.
INTEREST RATE EXPOSURE
Our debt portfolio mainly consists of fixed-rate instruments, and therefore any fluctuation in market interest rates is not
expected to have a material effect on our results of operations.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of the end of the
period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2025, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were
effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under
the Exchange Act has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information has been accumulated and communicated to the Company’s
management including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting as such term is defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and
effected by the Company’s Board of Directors to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.
In making its assessment, management has utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
(COSO) of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013). Management concluded that
based on its assessment, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 has been audited
by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which
appears herein.
(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information
SECURITIES TRADING PLANS OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Our director compensation program, which consists of an annual cash retainer and grant of restricted stock units
(RSUs), is designed to compensate non-employee directors fairly for work required for a company of our size and scope
and to align their interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders. Similarly, a portion of the compensation of
our executive officers (as defined in SEC Rule 16a-1(f)) is delivered in the form of our Long-Term Incentive Program (LTI),
which is comprised of stock options, RSUs and performance share units (PSUs). We believe compensating our directors
and executive officers with a mix of equity-based awards effectively links compensation to long-term shareholder value
creation, sustainability performance, and financial results.
Subject to the satisfaction of our share ownership requirements, our directors and executive officers may, from time
to time, engage in transactions to sell some of the shares granted to them as part of our director and executive
compensation programs after such shares vest following the expiration of any time-based restrictions or achievement
of certain pre-established performance goals. In addition, our directors and executive officers may also, from time to
time, engage in other transactions involving our securities, which may entail the purchase or sale of our common stock
outside of these compensation programs on an open-market basis.
All transactions in our securities by our directors and executive officers must occur in accordance with our Insider
Trading Policy, which, among other things, requires that such transactions be in accordance with applicable U.S. federal
securities laws that prohibit trading while in possession of material nonpublic information. Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities
Exchange Act provides an affirmative defense that enables prearranged transactions in securities in a manner that
avoids concerns about initiating transactions at a future date while possibly in possession of material nonpublic
information. Our insider trading policy permits our directors and executive officers to enter trading plans designed to
prearrange transactions in our securities in accordance with Rule 10b5-1.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, none of our directors or Section 16 officers adopted or terminated a “non-Rule 10b5-1
trading arrangement,” as defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
The following table describes contracts, instructions or written plans for the sale or purchase of our securities adopted or
terminated by our directors and Section 16 officers during the fourth quarter of 2025, each of which is intended to satisfy
the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c), referred to as Rule 10b5-1 trading plans:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Trane Technologies plc
OPINIONS ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Trane Technologies plc and its subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, of comprehensive
income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the
related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
BASIS FOR OPINIONS
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility
is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance
with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in
all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated
financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinions.
DEFINITION AND LIMITATIONS OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
F-2
Part IV
of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on
the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.
CRITICAL AUDIT MATTERS
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial
statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts
or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging,
subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on
the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below,
providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
As described in Notes 2 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognized $21.3 billion of
consolidated net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025. Revenue is recognized when control of a good or
service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a
customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or
service. A majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in
time per the terms of a contract. However, a portion of the Company’s revenue is recognized over-time as the customer
simultaneously receives control as the Company performs work under a contract. For these arrangements, management
uses the cost-to-cost input method as it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as the Company
incurs costs. The transaction price allocated to performance obligations reflects the Company’s expectations about the
consideration it will be entitled to receive from a customer. To determine the transaction price, management assesses
variable and noncash consideration, as well as whether a significant financing component exists.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to revenue recognition from
contracts with customers is a critical audit matter are the high degree of auditor effort in performing procedures
and evaluating audit evidence related to the Company’s revenue recognition of point-in-time and over-time contracts
with customers.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our
overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls
relating to the revenue recognition process on the Company’s point-in-time and over-time contracts with customers.
These procedures also included, among others (i) evaluating revenue transactions on a sample basis by obtaining and
inspecting evidence of an arrangement with a customer, evidence of goods delivered or services provided and evidence
of consideration received in exchange for transferring those goods or services, and (ii) evaluating the completeness and
accuracy of data provided by management.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY
Trane Technologies plc, a public limited company, incorporated in Ireland in 2009, and its consolidated subsidiaries
(collectively we, our, the Company or Trane Technologies) is a global climate innovator. The Company brings sustainable
and efficient solutions to buildings, homes and transportation through the Company’s strategic brands, Trane® and
Thermo King®, and its environmentally responsible portfolio of products, services and connected intelligent controls. The
Company generates revenue and cash primarily through the design, manufacture, sales and service of solutions for
Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), transport refrigeration, and custom refrigeration solutions.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial
Statements follows:
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the consolidated operations of
the Company and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as
defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC).
Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The results of operations and cash flows of all discontinued operations have been separately reported as discontinued
operations for all periods presented. The Company recorded certain income and expenses associated with asbestos
liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries within Discontinued operations, net of tax, as they related to previously
divested businesses, except for amounts associated with the predecessor of the Murray Boiler LLC (Murray) asbestos
liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries, which were recorded within continuing operations. See Note 20,
“Commitments and Contingencies” for more information regarding asbestos-related matters.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include all majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company. A noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary is considered an ownership interest in a majority-owned subsidiary that is not attributable to the parent.
The Company includes Noncontrolling interest as a component of Total equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and
the Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented as an adjustment from Net earnings used to arrive
at Net earnings attributable to Trane Technologies plc in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Estimates are based on several factors including the facts and circumstances available at
the time the estimates are made, historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and the
assessment of the probable future outcome. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions
are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings in
the period that they are determined.
Currency Translation: Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries, where the functional currency is not the U.S. dollar,
have been translated at year-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts have been translated using average
exchange rates throughout the year. Adjustments resulting from the process of translating an entity’s financial statements
into the U.S. dollar have been recorded in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets within Accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss). Transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency
are subject to changes in exchange rates with the resulting gains and losses recorded within Other income/(expense), net.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits and all highly liquid
investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less. The Company maintains amounts
on deposit at various financial institutions, which may at times exceed federally insured limits. However, management
periodically evaluates the credit-worthiness of those institutions and has not experienced any losses on such deposits.
F-9
2025 Annual Report
Part IV
Allowance for Credit Losses: The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses which represents the best
estimate of expected loss inherent in the Company’s accounts receivable portfolio. This estimate is based upon
a two-step policy that results in the total recorded allowance for credit losses. The first step is to record a portfolio
reserve based on the aging of the outstanding accounts receivable portfolio and the Company’s historical experience
with the Company’s end markets, customer base and products. The second step is to create a specific reserve for
significant accounts as to which the customer’s ability to satisfy their financial obligation to the Company is in doubt
due to circumstances such as bankruptcy, deteriorating operating results or financial position. In these circumstances,
management uses its judgment to record an allowance based on the best estimate of expected loss, factoring in such
considerations as the market value of collateral, if applicable. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These
estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated
Statements of Earnings in the period that they are determined. The Company’s allowance for credit losses was
$53.9 million and $56.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Inventories: Depending on the business, U.S. inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method or the lower of cost and net realizable value (NRV) using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Non-U.S. inventories are stated at the lower of cost and NRV using the FIFO method. At December 31, 2025 and 2024,
approximately 62% and 59%, respectively, of all inventory utilized the LIFO method.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Assets placed in service are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
life of the asset except for leasehold improvements, which are depreciated over the shorter of their economic useful life
or their lease term. The range of useful lives used to depreciate property, plant and equipment is as follows:
Buildings
10 to 50 years
Machinery and equipment
2 to 12 years
Software
2 to
7 years
Major expenditures for replacements and significant improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are
also capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Repairs
and maintenance expenditures that do not extend the useful life of the asset are charged to expense as incurred. The
carrying amounts of assets that are sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts in the year of disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected within current earnings.
The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its property, plant and equipment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability
is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the future net undiscounted cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the
asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset group exceeds
the fair value of the asset group.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets: The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Measurement period adjustments may be recorded once a final
valuation has been performed. Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for
impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate
that the fair value of the asset is more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the asset. In addition, an interim
impairment test is completed upon a triggering event or when there is a reorganization of reporting structure or disposal
of all or a portion of a reporting unit.
Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level. The test compares the carrying amount of the reporting
unit to its estimated fair value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the
reporting unit is not impaired. To the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value,
an impairment loss would be recognized for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair
value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill in that reporting unit.
F-10
Part IV
Intangible assets such as customer-related intangible assets and other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized
on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The weighted-average useful lives approximate the following:
Customer relationships
14 years
Other
8 years
The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable.
Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the future net undiscounted
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying
amount of the asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset
group exceeds the fair value of the asset group.
Business Combinations: Acquisitions that meet the definition of a business combination are recorded using the
acquisition method of accounting. The Company includes the operating results of acquired entities from their
respective dates of acquisition. The Company recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities
assumed, including contingent consideration relating to earnout provisions, and any non-controlling interest as of
the acquisition date fair value. The excess, if any, of total consideration transferred in a business combination over
the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest is recognized as
goodwill. Costs incurred as a result of a business combination other than costs related to the issuance of debt or
equity securities are recorded in the period the costs are incurred. Additionally, at each reporting period, contingent
consideration is remeasured to fair value, with changes recorded in Selling and administrative expenses in the
Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Equity Investments: Partially-owned equity affiliates generally represent 20-50% ownership interests in equity
investments where the Company demonstrates significant influence, but does not have a controlling financial interest.
Partially-owned equity affiliates are accounted for under the equity method.
The Company invests in companies that complement existing products and services further enhancing its product
portfolio. The Company records equity investments for which it does not have significant influence and without a
readily determinable fair value at cost with adjustments for observable changes in price or impairment as permitted by
the measurement alternative. Investments for which the measurement alternative has been elected are assessed for
impairment upon a triggering event. Equity investments without a readily determinable fair value were $81.2 million and
$87.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Employee Benefit Plans: The Company provides a range of benefits, including pensions, postretirement and
postemployment benefits to eligible current and former employees. Determining the cost associated with such benefits
is dependent on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected return on plan assets, compensation
increases, mortality, turnover rates, and healthcare cost trend rates. Actuaries perform the required calculations to
determine expense in accordance with GAAP. Actual results may differ from the actuarial assumptions and are generally
accumulated into Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and amortized into Net earnings over future
periods. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions at each measurement date and makes modifications to the
assumptions based on current rates and trends, if appropriate.
Loss Contingencies: Liabilities are recorded for various contingencies arising in the normal course of business. The
Company has recorded reserves in the financial statements related to these matters, which are developed using input
derived from actuarial estimates and historical and anticipated experience data depending on the nature of the reserve,
and in certain instances with consultation of legal counsel, internal and external consultants and engineers. Subject
to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for these types of liabilities, the Company believes its estimated
reserves are reasonable and does not believe the final determination of the liabilities with respect to these matters would
have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company for any year.
F-11
2025 Annual Report
Part IV
Environmental Costs: The Company is subject to laws and regulations relating to protecting the environment.
Environmental expenditures relating to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures
relating to existing conditions caused by past operations, which do not contribute to current or future revenues, are
expensed. Liabilities for remediation costs are recorded when they are probable and can be reasonably estimated,
generally no later than the completion of feasibility studies or the Company’s commitment to a plan of action.
The assessment of this liability, which is calculated based on existing remediation technology, does not reflect any offset
for possible recoveries from insurance companies, and is not discounted.
Product Warranties: Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based
upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities
and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information
becomes available. The Company’s extended warranty liability represents the deferred revenue associated with its
extended warranty contracts and is amortized into revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless
another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liability
by evaluating the expected costs under its existing contracts to ensure these expected costs do not exceed the
extended warranty liability.
Income Taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in
which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company recognizes future tax benefits, such as net operating
losses and tax credits, to the extent that realizing these benefits is considered in its judgment to be more likely than not.
The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of its deferred tax assets considering its historic profitability, projected
future taxable income, timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the feasibility of its tax planning
strategies. Where appropriate, the Company records a valuation allowance with respect to a future tax benefit.
Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e.,
performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the
use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. The majority of the Company’s
revenue is recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time per the terms of a contract.
However, a portion of the Company’s revenue is recognized over-time as the customer simultaneously receives control
as the Company performs work under a contract. For these arrangements, the cost-to-cost input method (percentage of
completion) is used as it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as the Company incurs costs.
See Note 12, “Revenue” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding revenue recognition.
Research and Development Costs: The Company conducts research and development activities focused on product
and system sustainability improvements such as increasing energy efficiency, developing products that allow for use of
lower global warming potential refrigerants, reducing material content in products, and designing products for circularity.
These expenditures are expensed when incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, these
expenditures amounted to $347.6 million, $309.6 million and $252.3 million, respectively.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The FASB ASC is the sole source of authoritative GAAP other than the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues an Accounting Standard Update (ASU)
to communicate changes to the codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. ASU’s not
listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on
the consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)” (ASU 2023-09)
which improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation
of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09, as required, for the year ended
December 31, 2025 on a retrospective basis. See Note 16, “Income Taxes” for more information on the Company’s income
tax disclosures.
F-12
Part IV
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software: Targeted
Improvements to the accounting for Internal-Use Software” (ASU 2025-06) which modernizes accounting guidance
for the costs to develop software for internal use, aligning the various stages of software development with current
software development methods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim
periods within those annual reporting periods. ASU 2025-06 can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or with a
modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not currently expect to adopt this ASU
before the required effective date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard and does not anticipate a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense
Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)” (ASU 2024-03) which requires additional disaggregated disclosures
in the notes to financial statements for certain categories of expenses that are included on the face of the income
statement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning
after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not currently expect to adopt this ASU
before the required effective date.

ISSUANCE OF SENIOR NOTES
In June 2024, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Trane Technologies Financing Limited, issued $500.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 5.100% Senior Notes due 2034. The notes are guaranteed by each of Trane Technologies
plc, Trane Technologies Global Holding II Company Limited, Trane Technologies Americas Holding Corporation,
Trane Technologies Lux International Holding Company S.a.r.l., Trane Technologies Irish Holdings Unlimited Company,
Trane Technologies Company LLC and Trane Technologies Holdco Inc. The Company has the option to redeem the notes
in whole or in part at any time prior to their stated maturity date at redemption prices set forth in the indenture agreement.
The notes are subject to certain customary covenants, however, none of these covenants are considered restrictive to the
Company’s operations. The net proceeds from the offering were used to purchase short-term investments of $450.0 million
that matured in October 2024. The net proceeds of the short-term investments were used to fund the repayment of
the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 3.550% Senior Notes that matured in November 2024,
including payment of fees, expenses, and accrued interest in connection therewith.
OTHER CREDIT FACILITIES
On May 27, 2025, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a term that ends
in May 2030 and terminated its $1.0 billion credit facility that would have expired in June 2026. As a result, the Company
maintains two $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facilities, one of which matures in April 2027 and the other which
matures in May 2030 (collectively, the Facilities), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Trane Technologies HoldCo Inc. and
Trane Technologies Financing Limited (collectively, the Borrowers).
The Facilities provide support for the Company’s commercial paper program and can be used for working capital
and other general corporate purposes. Trane Technologies plc, Trane Technologies Irish Holdings Unlimited Company,
Trane Technologies Lux International Holding Company S.à.r.l., Trane Technologies Americas Holding Corporation, Trane
Technologies Global Holding II Company Limited, and Trane Technologies Company LLC each provide irrevocable and
unconditional guarantees for these Facilities. In addition, each Borrower will guarantee the obligations under the Facilities of
the other Borrowers. Total commitments of $2.0 billion were unused at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
FAIR VALUE OF DEBT
The fair value of the Company’s debt instruments at both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $4.6 billion.
The Company measures the fair value of its debt instruments for disclosure purposes based upon observable market
prices quoted on public exchanges for similar assets. These fair value inputs are considered Level 2 within the fair value
hierarchy. See Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements” for information on the fair value hierarchy.
NOTE 8. SUPPLIER FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has agreements with financial institutions, primarily in the U.S., that allow its suppliers to sell their
receivables to the financial institution at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institution on terms
that are negotiated between them. The Company may not always be notified when its suppliers sell receivables under
this program.
F-16
Part IV
The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including the amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted
by the suppliers’ decisions to sell their receivables under the program. The payment terms that the Company has
with participating suppliers under these programs are generally up to 120 days. The changes in the supplier financing
program for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in
developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability is as follows:
• Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
• Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
• Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its
own assumptions.
Observable market data is required to be used in making fair value measurements when available. When inputs used
to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is
categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis as of December 31, 2025:

Derivative instruments include forward foreign currency contracts and instruments related to non-functional currency

F-17
2025 Annual Report
Part IV
determined based on a pricing model that uses spot rates and forward prices from actively quoted currency markets
that are readily accessible and observable. The fair value of the commodity derivatives is valued under a market
approach using published prices, where applicable, or dealer quotes.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable
are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. There have been no
transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company agreed to two contingent consideration arrangements based on the attainment of key revenue targets
in connection with the acquisition of Nuvolo Technologies Corporation (Nuvolo) in November 2023. These targets were
not met as of April 4, 2025. As a result, the arrangements expired with no payments made and the remaining liability for
contingent consideration was derecognized in March 2025.
The changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Company’s equity investments without a
readily available fair value are accounted for using the measurement alternative and are measured at fair value when
observable transactions of identical or similar securities occurs, or due to an impairment. When indicators of impairment
exist or observable price changes of qualified transactions occur, the respective equity investment would be classified
within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity and
unobservable inputs used to measure fair value that require management’s judgment.
NOTE 10. LEASES
The Company’s lease portfolio includes various contracts for real estate, vehicles, information technology and other
equipment. At contract inception, the Company determines a lease exists if the contract conveys the right to control an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is considered to exist when the lessee has
the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of an identified asset as well as the right to
direct the use of that asset. If a contract is considered to be a lease, the Company recognizes a lease liability based
on the present value of the future lease payments, with an offsetting entry to recognize a right-of-use asset. Options to
extend or terminate a lease are included when it is reasonably certain an option will be exercised. As a majority of the
Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate within the lease, an incremental borrowing rate is used which is based
on information available at the commencement date.
The following table includes a summary of the Company’s lease portfolio and Balance Sheet classification:

Part IV
The Company accounts for each separate lease component of a contract and its associated non-lease component as
a single lease component. In addition, the Company utilizes a portfolio approach for the vehicle, information technology
and equipment asset classes as the application of the lease model to the portfolio would not differ materially from the
application of the lease model to the individual leases within the portfolio.

NOTE 11. PENSIONS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of the
Company’s U.S. employees. Additionally, the Company has many non-U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans
covering eligible current and retired non-U.S. employees. Postretirement benefits other than pensions (OPEB) provide
healthcare benefits and, in some instances, life insurance benefits for certain eligible current and retired employees.
PENSION PLANS
The non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits
on a final average pay formula while plans for most collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a flat dollar
benefit formula or a percentage of pay formula. The non-U.S. pension plans generally provide benefits based on earnings
and years of service. The Company also maintains additional other supplemental plans for officers and other key or
highly compensated employees.
In December 2025, the Company entered into a group annuity contract covering a portion of a U.S. qualified defined
benefit pension plan that transferred responsibility for payment of pension benefits to an insurance company. The
Company transferred approximately $187.6 million of outstanding pension projected benefit obligation along with plan
assets of a lesser amount. As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax non-cash settlement charge
of $35.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, of which $17.2 million was recorded in Continuing Operations and
$17.9 million was recorded in Discontinued Operations. This settlement charge reflects the accelerated recognition of
unamortized actuarial losses previously recorded in “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” relating to the proportion
of the projected benefit obligation settled by the transaction.

It is the Company’s objective to contribute to the pension plans to ensure adequate funds, and no less than required by
law, are available in the plans to make benefit payments to plan participants and beneficiaries when required. However,
certain plans are not or cannot be funded due to either legal, accounting, or tax requirements in certain jurisdictions.
As of December 31, 2025, approximately 8% of the Company’s projected benefit obligation relates to plans that cannot
be funded.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects the average rate of returns expected on the funds invested
or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. The expected long-term rate
of return on plan assets is based on what is achievable given the plan’s investment policy, the types of assets held and
target asset allocations. The expected long-term rate of return is determined as of the measurement date. The Company
reviews each plan and its historical returns and target asset allocations to determine the appropriate expected long-term
rate of return on plan assets to be used.
The Company’s objective in managing its defined benefit plan assets is to ensure that all present and future benefit
obligations are met as they come due. It seeks to achieve this goal while trying to mitigate volatility in plan funded status,
contribution, and expense by better matching the characteristics of the plan assets to that of the plan liabilities. The
Company utilizes a dynamic approach to asset allocation whereby a plan’s allocation to fixed income assets increases as
the plan’s funded status improves. The Company monitors plan funded status and asset allocation regularly in addition to
investment manager performance.

Cash equivalents are valued using a market approach with inputs including quoted market prices for either identical or
similar instruments. Fixed income securities are valued through a market approach with inputs including, but not limited
to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes and issuer spreads. Commingled funds are valued at their daily
net asset value (NAV) per share or the equivalent. NAV per share or the equivalent is used for fair value purposes as a
practical expedient. NAVs are calculated by the investment manager or sponsor of the fund. Refer to Note 9, “Fair Value
Measurements” for additional information related to the fair value hierarchy. There have been no significant transfers
between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
The Company made required and discretionary contributions to its pension plans of $33.1 million in 2025, $58.9 million in
2024, and $93.5 million in 2023. These amounts include required and discretionary contributions to qualified plan trusts
and benefit payments made directly by the Company to plan participants. The Company currently projects that it will
contribute approximately $84 million to its plans worldwide in 2026, a portion of which may be funded by assets held
in an employer-owned trust. The Company’s policy allows it to fund an amount, which could be in excess of or less
than the pension cost expensed, subject to the limitations imposed by current tax regulations. However, the Company
anticipates funding the plans in 2026 in accordance with contributions required by funding regulations or the laws of
each jurisdiction.
Most of the Company’s U.S. employees are covered by defined contribution plans. Employer contributions are determined
based on criteria specific to the individual plans and amounted to approximately $212 million, $188 million and $165 million
in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s contributions relating to non-U.S. defined contribution plans and other
non-U.S. benefit plans were $41.8 million, $38.6 million and $30.9 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLANS
The Company also participates in a number of multiemployer defined benefit pension plans related to collectively
bargained U.S. employees of Trane. The Company’s contributions are determined by the terms of the related
collective-bargaining agreements. These multiemployer plans pose different risks to the Company than single-employer
plans, including:
1.
The Company’s contributions to multiemployer plans may be used to provide benefits to all participating employees
of the plan, including employees of other employers.
2. In the event that another participating employer ceases contributions to a plan, the Company, together with other
remaining participating employers, may be responsible for any unfunded obligations of the employer that ceased
making contributions.
3. If the Company chooses to withdraw from any of the multiemployer plans or if a partial withdrawal occurs, the
Company may be required to pay a withdrawal liability, based on the underfunded status of the plan.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company does not participate in any multiemployer plans that are individually significant.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that provide healthcare benefits and, in some instances, life
insurance benefits for eligible current and retired employees. These plans are unfunded and have no plan assets;
instead they are funded by the Company on a pay-as-you-go basis in the form of direct benefit payments. Generally,
postretirement health benefits are contributory, with contributions adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are
primarily non-contributory.

NOTE 12. REVENUE
PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
A performance obligation is a distinct good, service or a bundle of goods and services promised in a contract. The
Company identifies performance obligations at the inception of a contract and allocates the transaction price to individual
performance obligations to faithfully depict the Company’s performance in transferring control of the promised goods or
services to the customer.
The following are the primary performance obligations identified by the Company:
Equipment. The Company principally generates revenue from the sale of equipment to customers and recognizes
revenue at a point in time when control transfers to the customer. Transfer of control is generally determined based on
the shipping terms of the contract.
Contracting and installation. The Company enters into contracts to design, deliver and build integrated solutions to
meet customer specifications. These transactions provide services that range from the development and installation of
new HVAC systems to the design and integration of critical building systems to optimize energy efficiency and overall
performance. These contracts have a typical term of less than one year and are considered a single performance
obligation as multiple combined goods and services promised in the contract represent a single output delivered to
the customer. Revenues associated with contracting and installation contracts are recognized over time with progress
towards completion measured using the cost-to-cost input method (percentage of completion) as the basis to recognize
revenue and an estimated profit. To-date efforts for work performed corresponds with and faithfully depicts transfer of
control to the customer.
F-27
2025 Annual Report
Part IV
Services and maintenance. The Company provides various levels of preventative and/or repair and maintenance type
service agreements for its customers. The typical length of a contract is between 12 months and 60 months. Revenues
associated with these performance obligations are primarily recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the life of
the contract as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit provided by the Company. However, if
historical evidence indicates that the cost of providing these services on a straight-line basis is not appropriate, revenue
is recognized over the contract period in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred while performing the service.
Revenues for certain repair services that do not meet the criteria for over time revenue recognition and sales of parts are
recognized at a point in time.
Extended warranties. The Company enters into various warranty contracts with customers related to its products.
A standard warranty generally warrants that a product is free from defects in workmanship and materials under
normal use and conditions for a certain period of time. The Company’s standard warranty is not considered a distinct
performance obligation as it does not provide services to customers beyond assurance that the covered product is free
of initial defects. An extended warranty provides a customer with additional time that the Company is liable for covered
incidents associated with its products. Extended warranties are purchased separately and can last up to five years.
As a result, they are considered separate performance obligations for the Company. Revenue associated with these
performance obligations is primarily recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract as the
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit provided by the Company. However, if historical evidence
indicates that the cost of providing these services on a straight-line basis is not appropriate, revenue is recognized over
the contract period in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred while performing the service. Refer to Note 20,
“Commitments and Contingencies,” for more information related to product warranties.
The transaction price allocated to performance obligations reflects the Company’s expectations about the consideration
it will be entitled to receive from a customer. To determine the transaction price, variable and non-cash consideration are
assessed as well as whether a significant financing component exists. The Company includes variable consideration
in the estimated transaction price when it is probable that significant reversal of revenue recognized would not occur
when the uncertainty associated with variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company considers historical
data in determining its best estimates of variable consideration, and the related accruals are recorded using the best
estimate method.
For projects financed through energy savings, the Company provides financial guarantees for in-process work and
financial commitments with end dates varying from the current fiscal year through the completion of such transactions
that could be triggered in the event of nonperformance. Additionally, for completed energy savings contracts, the
Company has ongoing performance guarantees related to the customers’ realization of committed energy savings
that are evaluated during the measurement and verification portion of contracting and installation agreements. These
performance guarantees represent variable consideration and are estimated as part of the overall transaction price.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has outstanding performance guarantees of approximately $1 billion related
to completed energy savings contracts that extend from 2026-2049. Since 1995, the Company has recognized an
immaterial amount in adjustments to the overall transaction price of energy savings contracts as a result of these
performance guarantees.
The Company enters into sales arrangements that contain multiple goods and services. For these arrangements, each
good or service is evaluated to determine whether it represents a distinct performance obligation and whether the sales
price for each obligation is representative of standalone selling price. If available, the Company utilizes observable prices
for goods or services sold separately to similar customers in similar circumstances to evaluate relative standalone selling
price. List prices are used if they are determined to be representative of standalone selling prices. Where necessary, the
Company ensures that the total transaction price is then allocated to the distinct performance obligations based on the
determination of their relative standalone selling price at the inception of the arrangement.
The Company recognizes revenue for delivered goods or services when the delivered good or service is distinct,
control of the good or service has transferred to the customer, and only customary refund or return rights related to the
goods or services exist. The Company excludes from revenues taxes it collects from a customer that are assessed by a
government authority.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, contract assets, and
customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In general, the Company
receives payments from customers based on a billing schedule established in its contracts. Contract assets relate to
the conditional right to consideration for any completed performance under the contract when costs are incurred in
excess of billings under the percentage of completion methodology. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to
consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under
the contract or when the Company has a right to consideration that is unconditional before it transfers a good or service
to the customer. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, changes in contract asset and liability balances were not materially
impacted by any other factors.
Approximately 71% of the contract liability balance at December 31, 2024 was recognized as revenue during the year
ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, approximately 20% of the contract liability balance at December 31, 2025 was
classified as noncurrent and not expected to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months.

STOCK OPTIONS / RSUs
Eligible participants may receive (i) stock options, (ii) RSUs or (iii) a combination of both stock options and RSUs. The fair
value of each of the Company’s stock option and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required
service period, which is generally the 3-year vesting period. Beginning with the 2024 grant year, for stock options and
RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense over the period during which an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is generally 12 months. For awards granted to
retirement eligible employees prior to 2024, the Company recognized expense for the fair value at the grant date.
The average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The
following assumptions were used during the year ended December 31:
2025
2024
2023
Dividend yield
0.95%
1.11%
1.50%
Volatility

29.37%
Risk-free rate of return
4.30%
4.00%
3.62%
Expected life in years
4.8
4.8
4.8
A description of the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock option awards is as follows:
• Dividend yield – The Company determines the dividend yield based upon the expected quarterly dividend payments
as of the grant date and the current fair market value of the Company’s shares.
• Volatility – The expected volatility is based on a weighted average of the Company’s implied volatility and the most
recent historical volatility of the Company’s shares commensurate with the expected life.
• Risk-free rate of return – The Company applies a yield curve of continuous risk-free rates based upon the published
US Treasury spot rates on the grant date.
• Expected life in years – The expected life of the Company’s stock option awards represents the weighted-average of the
actual period since the grant date for all exercised or canceled options and an expected period for all outstanding options.
Changes in options outstanding under the plans for the years 2025, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

PERFORMANCE SHARES
The Company has a Performance Share Program (PSP) for key employees. The program provides awards in the form
of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a
number of the Company’s ordinary shares based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.
All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares.
PSU awards are earned based 50% upon a performance condition, measured by relative Cash Flow Return on Invested
Capital (CROIC) to the S&P 500 Industrials Index over a 3-year performance period, and 50% upon a market condition,
measured by the Company’s relative total shareholder return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of the S&P 500 Industrials
Index over a 3-year performance period. Beginning with the 2024 grant year, for PSUs granted to retirement eligible
employees, the Company recognizes the expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide
service in exchange for the award, which is 12 months. For awards granted to retirement eligible employees prior to 2024,
the expense was recognized over the 3-year performance period. The fair value of the market condition is estimated
using a Monte Carlo simulation model in a risk-neutral framework based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates and
correlation matrix.

periods if foreign source income exceeds current projections for the periods 2026 through 2027, the remainder of the
carryforward period.
During 2024, the Company recorded a $30.4 million reduction in valuation allowances primarily related to deferred tax
assets associated with both foreign tax credits and operations of international subsidiaries.
During 2023, the Company recorded a $30.3 million reduction in valuation allowances primarily related to deferred tax
assets associated with both foreign tax credits and operations of international subsidiaries.
UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS
The Company has total unrecognized tax benefits of $62.4 million and $86.5 million as of December 31, 2025, and
December 31, 2024, respectively. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the continuing
operations effective tax rate are $38.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits
relating to the Company’s tax positions is subject to change based on future events including, but not limited to, the
settlements of ongoing audits and/or the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. A reconciliation of the beginning
and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The Company records interest and penalties associated with the uncertain tax positions within its Provision for income
taxes. The Company had reserves associated with interest and penalties, net of tax, of $10.1 million and $13.9 million at
December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
the Company recognized $1.1 million and $0.4 million tax expense, respectively, in interest and penalties, net of tax in
continuing operations related to these uncertain tax positions.
F-38
Part IV
The Provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of
relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected
levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective income tax rate and tax balances recorded by the
Company. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues
regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the
jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income
tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. In the normal
course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such
major jurisdictions as Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Singapore,
Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. These examinations on their own, or any subsequent
litigation related to the examinations, may result in additional income taxes or penalties against the Company. If the
ultimate result of these audits differ from original or adjusted estimates, they could have a material impact on the
Company’s income tax provision. The examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) has been concluded for tax years 2016-2019; substantially all of the Company’s U.S. federal tax
returns are effectively settled for tax years prior to 2022. In general, the examination of the Company’s material non-U.S.
income tax returns is complete or effectively settled for the years prior to 2015, with certain matters prior to 2015 being
resolved through appeals and litigation and also unilateral procedures as provided for under double tax treaties.
On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted OBBBA. The impacts of the new legislation have been reflected in the condensed
consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, and are not considered material. The Company continues to
evaluate the legislation and review guidance from the U.S. Department of Treasury and could require further adjustment.
NOTE 17. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
ACQUISITIONS
FISCAL YEAR 2025
On January 2, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of BrainBox AI Inc., financed through cash on hand. BrainBox
AI Inc. is a building management platform for HVAC optimization, using advanced artificial intelligence technologies. The
results of operations of BrainBox AI Inc. are reported within the Americas segment from the date of acquisition.
In the first half of 2025, the Company also acquired multiple distributors with sales and service businesses in Europe that
are reported in the EMEA segment from the dates of acquisition.
The intangible assets associated with these acquisitions totaled $73.9 million and primarily relate to developed
technology. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired was
recognized as goodwill and the combined total was $190.0 million.
The preliminary valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology. The fair value of
the developed technology intangible assets was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method based on
discounted projected net cash flows associated with the net earnings attributable to the acquired identifiable assets. Key
assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included revenue growth rates and margins, royalty rates, and discount
rates attributable to the intangible asset.
FISCAL YEAR 2024
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company acquired two businesses, both reported within the Americas segment
from the date of acquisition. One acquisition was a Commercial HVAC distributor with sales and service business in
the United States. The second acquisition was a technology-focused acquisition that expands the Company’s product
offerings in the Transport refrigeration business. The aggregate cash paid, net of cash acquired, totaled $174.5 million
and was financed through cash on hand. Intangible assets associated with these acquisitions totaled $51.6 million and
primarily relate to customer relationships. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired
was recognized as goodwill and totaled $96.3 million. We expect the majority of the goodwill recognized for these
acquisitions to be deductible for tax purposes. The values assigned to individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed
are preliminary based on management’s current best estimate and subject to change as certain matters are finalized.
F-39
2025 Annual Report
Part IV
The fair values of the customer relationship intangible assets were determined using the multi-period excess earnings
method based on discounted projected net cash flows associated with the net earnings attributable to the acquired
customer relationships. These projected cash flows are estimated over the remaining economic life of the intangible
asset and are considered from a market participant perspective. Key assumptions include projected cash flows, including
revenue growth rates and margins and customer attrition rates. The customer relationships had a weighted-average useful
life of 12 years. The Company has not included pro forma financial information as the overall pro forma impact was deemed
not material.
FISCAL YEAR 2023
On May 2, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of MTA S.p.A (MTA) for $224.4 million, net of cash acquired, financed through
commercial paper and cash on hand. MTA is a leading industrial process cooling technology business which brings
complementary, high-performing solutions to the comprehensive Commercial HVAC product and services portfolios in
the EMEA and Americas segments. Intangible assets associated with this acquisition totaled $93.3 million and primarily
relate to customer relationships. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired was
recognized as goodwill and totaled $114.6 million, inclusive of the impact of measurement period adjustments. The
goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. The results of the acquisition are reported within
the EMEA and Americas segments from the date of acquisition.
On May 12, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of Helmer Scientific Inc (Helmer), a precision temperature cooling
company in the life sciences vertical within the Americas segment. The aggregate cash paid, net of cash acquired,
totaled $266.4 million and was financed through commercial paper and cash on hand. Intangible assets associated with
this acquisition totaled $95.7 million and primarily relate to customer relationships. The excess purchase price over the
estimated fair value of net assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $130.5 million, inclusive of the impact
of measurement period adjustments. For income tax purposes, the acquisition was treated as an asset purchase and
the goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes. The results of the acquisition are reported within the Americas segment
from the date of acquisition.
On November 2, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of Nuvolo, a global leader in modern, cloud-based enterprise asset
management and connected workplace software and solutions. The results of the acquisition are reported within the
Americas segment from the date of acquisition.
The Company paid $352.6 million in initial cash consideration, financed through cash on hand, and agreed to two
additional contingent consideration arrangements. The first contingent consideration arrangement, payable of up to
$90.0 million in cash, is based on the attainment of revenue targets from November 2, 2023 through April 4, 2025. If the
first contingent consideration targets are met, a second contingent consideration arrangement related to a specified
customer contract is available to the sellers, with no maximum earnout, based on revenues attained from that specified
customer contract through April 4, 2025. The total purchase price for the acquisition was expected to be $442.9 million,
comprised of the upfront cash consideration of $352.6 million paid on November 2, 2023 and the fair value of the
contingent consideration arrangements at the acquisition-date of $90.3 million. See Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements” to
the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding fair value of contingent consideration.
Intangible assets associated with the Nuvolo acquisition totaled $141.0 million and primarily relate to developed technology
and customer relationships. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired was
recognized as goodwill and totaled $313.1 million, inclusive of measurement period adjustments. The goodwill is primarily
attributable to the fair value of market share and revenue growth from Nuvolo. The benefit of access to the workforce is
an additional element of goodwill. The goodwill created in the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

technology intangible asset using a relief from royalty approach and a portion using an excess earnings model. These
fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3
measurement. Key assumptions include projected cash flows, including revenue growth rates and margins, customer
attrition rates, royalty rates and discount rates attributable to each intangible asset. The Company has not included pro
forma financial information as the overall pro forma impact was deemed not material.

NOTE 18. EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to Trane Technologies plc by the weighted-average number
of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated after adjusting the denominator of
the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, which in the Company’s case, includes
shares issuable under share-based compensation plans. The following table summarizes the weighted-average number

NOTE 19. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates under three reportable segments designed to create deep customer focus and relevance in
markets around the world. Intercompany sales between segments are immaterial.
• The Company’s Americas segment innovates for customers in North America and Latin America. The Americas
segment encompasses commercial heating, cooling and ventilation systems, building controls and solutions, and
energy services and solutions; residential heating and cooling; and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.
• The Company’s EMEA segment innovates for customers in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. The EMEA
segment encompasses heating, cooling and ventilation systems and services, energy services and solutions, and
transport refrigeration systems and solutions.
• The Company’s Asia Pacific segment innovates for customers throughout the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific
segment encompasses heating, cooling and ventilation systems, services and solutions for commercial buildings, and
transport refrigeration systems and solutions.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), the Chief Executive Officer, uses two profitability measures,
Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted Operating Income, in assessing segment performance and deciding
how to allocate resources:
• Segment Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, restructuring, merger and acquisition transaction costs, unallocated corporate expenses, discontinued
operations and other significant non-recurring or non-cash items. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also provides a useful
tool for assessing the operating performance and comparability between periods and our ability to generate cash
because it excludes the impact of certain non-cash or non-recurring items that can vary significantly from period to
period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is used in the development of annual operating plans, including capital expenditure
and operational budgets, and in measuring performance against targets for purposes of incentive compensation.
• Segment Adjusted Operating Income represents operating income adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, merger
and acquisition transaction costs and other significant non-recurring or non-cash items. Segment Adjusted Operating
Income, and ratios based on it, are used to provide a comprehensive view of segment profitability and evaluate
efficient returns on assets.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Adjusted Operating Income are not defined under GAAP and may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for net
earnings or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. Measures of total assets by reportable segment are not
provided to the CODM. Therefore, asset information by segment is not disclosed.

NOTE 20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to the
bankruptcy proceedings for Aldrich Pump LLC (Aldrich) and Murray and environmental and product liability matters.
The Company records accruals for loss contingencies when it is both probable that a liability will be incurred and the
amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates,
which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to
the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note,
management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.
ASBESTOS-RELATED MATTERS
Certain indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and former companies of the Company have been named as defendants
in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies
have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims were filed against predecessors of Aldrich and
Murray and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by
predecessors of Aldrich or Murray, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. None of the Company’s existing or
previously-owned businesses were a producer or manufacturer of asbestos.
On June 18, 2020 (the Petition Date), Aldrich and Murray filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina (the Bankruptcy Court)
to resolve equitably and permanently all current and future asbestos related claims in a manner beneficial to claimants
and to Aldrich and Murray. As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, all asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich and Murray
have been stayed due to the imposition of a statutory automatic stay applicable in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. In
addition, at the request of Aldrich and Murray, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order temporarily staying all asbestos-
related claims against each of 200 Park, Inc. (200 Park), ClimateLabs LLC (ClimateLabs), and Trane Technologies plc and
its other subsidiaries (the Trane Companies) that relate to claims against Aldrich or Murray (except for asbestos-related
claims for which the exclusive remedy is provided under workers’ compensation statutes or similar laws). On August 23,
2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered its findings of facts and conclusions of law and order declaring that the automatic
stay applies to certain asbestos related claims against the Trane Companies and enjoining such actions. As a result, all
asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich, Murray and the Trane Companies remain stayed.
From an accounting perspective, the Company no longer has control over Aldrich and Murray as of the Petition Date
as their activities are subject to review and oversight by the Bankruptcy Court. Therefore, Aldrich and its wholly-owned
subsidiary 200 Park and Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClimateLabs were deconsolidated as of the Petition Date
and their respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
On January 23, 2023, an individual claimant filed a motion to lift the automatic stay imposed by the Bankruptcy Code
to pursue its asbestos suit against Aldrich and Murray (the Stay Relief Motion). Aldrich and Murray, the court appointed
legal representative of future asbestos claimants (the FCR), and certain non-debtor affiliates each opposed the Stay
Relief Motion. The Bankruptcy Court denied the Stay Relief Motion. The individual claimant filed a notice appealing the
order denying the Stay Relief Motion to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina (the District Court).
The District Court has entered an order staying all deadlines in the appeal pending the outcome of a separate appeal
before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (the Fourth Circuit) in another bankruptcy case pending in the
Bankruptcy Court.
On August 26, 2021, the Company announced that Aldrich and Murray reached an agreement in principle with the FCR
in the bankruptcy proceedings. The agreement in principle includes the key terms for the permanent resolution of all
current and future asbestos claims against Aldrich and Murray pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the Plan). Under
the agreed terms, the Plan would create a trust pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code and establish claims
resolution procedures for all current and future claims against Aldrich and Murray (Asbestos Claims). On the effective
date of the Plan, Aldrich and Murray would fund the trust with $545.0 million, comprised of $540.0 million in cash and a
promissory note to be issued by Aldrich and Murray to the trust in the principal amount of $5.0 million, and the Asbestos
Claims would be channeled to the trust for resolution in accordance with the claims resolution procedures. Following the
effective date of the Plan, Aldrich and Murray would have no further obligations with respect to the Asbestos Claims. The
F-44
Part IV
FCR has agreed to support such Plan. The agreement in principle with the FCR is subject to final documentation and
is conditioned on arrangements acceptable to Aldrich and Murray with respect to their asbestos insurance assets. It is
currently contemplated that the asbestos insurance assets of Aldrich and Murray would be contributed to the trust, and
that, in consideration of their cash contribution to the trust, Aldrich and Murray would have the exclusive right to pursue,
collect and retain all insurance reimbursements available in connection with the resolution of Asbestos Claims by the
trust. The committee representing current asbestos claimants (the ACC) is not a party to the agreement in principle. Any
settlement and its implementation in a plan of reorganization is subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and
there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the agreement on the terms proposed.
On September 24, 2021, Aldrich and Murray filed the Plan with the Bankruptcy Court. The Plan is supported by and
reflects the agreement in principle reached with the FCR. On the same date, in connection with the Plan, Aldrich
and Murray filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to create a $270.0 million trust intended to constitute a “qualified
settlement fund” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 468B of the Internal Revenue Code (QSF).
The funds held in the QSF would be available to provide funding for a trust pursuant to Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy
Code upon effectiveness of the Plan.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, in connection with the agreement in principle reached by Aldrich and Murray
with the FCR and the motion to create a $270.0 million QSF, the Company recorded a charge of $21.2 million to increase
its Funding Agreement liability to $270.0 million. The corresponding charge was bifurcated between Other income/
(expense), net of $7.2 million relating to Murray and discontinued operations of $14.0 million relating to Aldrich.
On January 27, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court granted the request to fund the QSF, which was funded on March 2, 2022,
resulting in an operating cash outflow of $270.0 million reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows, of which $91.8 million was allocated to continuing operations and $178.2 million was allocated to discontinued
operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. On April 18, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting
Aldrich and Murray’s request to seek to estimate their aggregate liability for all current and future asbestos-related
personal injury claims. Aldrich and Murray are pursuing discovery and related matters in connection with the estimation
proceedings. On December 17, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court granted the FCR’s motion to streamline the Bankruptcy Court
proceedings to estimate the Debtors’ asbestos-related liabilities. The first phase of the estimation hearing will commence
the week of August 10, 2026.
Certain individual claimants and the ACC filed Motions to dismiss the bankruptcy proceedings on April 6, 2023 and
May 15, 2023, respectively (the Motions to Dismiss). The Bankruptcy Court denied the Motions to Dismiss, and the District
Court and the Fourth Circuit declined to review the Bankruptcy Court’s ruling.
It is not possible to predict whether the Bankruptcy Court will approve the terms of the Plan, what the extent of
the asbestos liability will be or how long the Chapter 11 cases will last. The Chapter 11 cases remain pending as of
February 5, 2026.
On October 18, 2021, the ACC filed a motion seeking standing to pursue and investigate on behalf of the bankruptcy
estates of Aldrich and Murray, claims arising from or related to the 2020 Corporate Restructuring and filed a complaint
seeking to substantively consolidate the bankruptcy estates of Aldrich and Murray with certain of the Company’s
subsidiaries. Despite objections by Aldrich and Murray, the Bankruptcy Court granted the ACC’s standing motion and
denied Aldrich and Murray’s motions to dismiss the substantive consolidation complaint. On June 18, 2022, the ACC filed
complaints against the Company and other related parties asserting various claims and causes of action arising from or
related to the 2020 Corporate Restructuring. The Company is vigorously opposing and defending against these claims.
In connection with the internal corporate restructuring completed in 2020, Aldrich, Murray and their respective
subsidiaries entered into customary agreements with subsidiaries of the Company to ensure they each have access
to services necessary for the effective operation of their respective businesses and access to capital to address any
liquidity needs that arise as a result of working capital requirements or timing issues. In addition, the Company regularly
transacts business with Aldrich and its wholly-owned subsidiary 200 Park and Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary
ClimateLabs. As of the Petition Date, these entities are considered related parties and post deconsolidation activity
between the Company and them are reported as third party transactions and are reflected within the Company’s

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company continues to be dedicated to environmental and sustainability programs to minimize the use of natural
resources, reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials from our manufacturing processes and remediate
identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation
activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.
It is the Company’s policy to establish environmental reserves for investigation and remediation activities when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and a reasonable estimate of the liability can be made. Estimated liabilities
are determined based upon existing remediation laws and technologies. Inherent uncertainties exist in such evaluations
due to unknown environmental conditions, changes in government laws and regulations, and changes in cleanup
technologies. The environmental reserves are updated on a routine basis as remediation efforts progress and new
information becomes available.
The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of
environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state and international authorities.
It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal
at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. In most instances at multi-party sites, the Company’s share of the liability is
not material.
In estimating its liability at multi-party sites, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any
site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been
taken into account, based on the Company’s understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions
on a per site basis.
Reserves for environmental matters are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent
liabilities based on their expected term. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company has recorded reserves for
environmental matters of $51.8 million and $52.4 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $41.6 million and $40.3 million,
respectively, relate to investigation and remediation of properties and multi-waste disposal sites related to businesses
formerly owned by the Company.
WARRANTY LIABILITY
Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty
terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as
necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.
The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the years ended December 31, were as follows:

liabilities based on their expected term. The Company’s total current standard product warranty reserve at December 31,
2025 and December 31, 2024 was $207.7 million and $185.3 million, respectively.

WARRANTY DEFERRED REVENUE
The Company’s extended warranty liability represents the deferred revenue associated with its extended warranty
contracts and is amortized into Net revenues on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is
more representative of the costs incurred. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liability by evaluating the expected
costs under its existing contracts to ensure these expected costs do not exceed the extended warranty liability.
The changes in the extended warranty liability for the years ended December 31, were as follows:
IN MILLIONS

The extended warranty liability is classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities
based on the timing of when the deferred revenue is expected to be amortized into Net revenues. The Company’s total
current extended warranty liability at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $172.7 million and $143.5 million,
respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred costs of $65.7 million,
$68.7 million and $54.3 million, respectively, related to extended warranties.
