PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts or as otherwise noted)

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company", "Parker", "we" or "us" refer to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries.

1. Management representation

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2023, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and cash flows for the three months then ended. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued. No subsequent events have occurred that required adjustment to or disclosure in these financial statements.

2. New accounting pronouncements

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations," which requires a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. To achieve that objective, the buyer should disclose qualitative and quantitative information about its supplier finance programs, including the outstanding amount under the program, the balance sheet presentation of the outstanding amount, and a rollforward of the obligations in the program. This ASU should be adopted retrospectively for each balance sheet period presented; however, the rollforward information should be provided prospectively. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on July 1, 2023, except for the rollforward requirement, which becomes effective July 1, 2024. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue recognition

Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of products in a variety of mobile, industrial and aerospace markets. A majority of the Company’s revenues are recognized at a point in time. However, a portion of the Company’s revenues are recognized over time.

Diversified Industrial Segment revenues by technology platform:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023		2022
Motion Systems	$	942,314	$	906,014

	2023		2022
Commercial original equipment manufacturer ("OEM")	$	418,616	$	264,310
Commercial aftermarket	391,206		204,640
Military OEM	263,065		170,671
Military aftermarket	156,073		106,381
Total	$	1,228,960	$	746,002

Total Company revenues by geographic region based on the Company's selling operation's location:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023		2022
North America	$	3,293,091	$	2,834,920
Europe	941,715		753,932
Asia Pacific	554,405		588,398
Latin America	58,277		55,525
Total	$	4,847,488	$	4,232,775

The majority of revenues from the Aerospace Systems Segment are generated from sales to customers within North America.

Contract balances

Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis. Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. Payments from customers are received based on the terms established in the contract with the customer.

Total contract assets and contract liabilities are as follows:


	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Contract assets, current (included within Prepaid expenses and other)	$	110,055	$	123,705
Contract assets, noncurrent (included within Investments and other assets)	24,334		23,708
Total contract assets	134,389		147,413
Contract liabilities, current (included within Other accrued liabilities)	(222,759)		(244,799)
Contract liabilities, noncurrent (included within Other liabilities)	(53,854)		(78,239)
Total contract liabilities	(276,613)		(323,038)
Net contract liabilities	$	(142,224)	$	(175,625)

Net contract liabilities at September 30, 2023 decreased from the June 30, 2023 amount primarily due to timing differences between when revenue was recognized and the receipt of advance payments. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $56 million of revenue was recognized that was included in the contract liabilities at June 30, 2023.

Remaining performance obligations

Our backlog represents written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release has been agreed to with the customer. We believe our backlog represents our unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations. Backlog at September 30, 2023 was $10.8 billion, of which approximately 81 percent is expected to be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.

4. Acquisitions and divestitures

Acquisitions

On September 12, 2022, we completed the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of all the outstanding ordinary shares of Meggitt plc ("Meggitt") for 800 pence per share, resulting in an aggregate cash purchase price of $7.2 billion, including the assumption of debt.

Meggitt is a leader in design, manufacturing and aftermarket support of technologically differentiated systems and equipment in aerospace, defense and selected energy markets with annual sales of approximately $2.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. For segment reporting purposes, approximately 82 percent of Meggitt's sales are included in the Aerospace Systems Segment, while the remaining 18 percent are included in the Diversified Industrial Segment.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their respective fair values as of the Acquisition date. The process of estimating the fair values of certain tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, measurement period adjustments did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The following table presents the final estimated fair values of Meggitt's assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the Acquisition date.


	June 30, 2023 (previously reported)		Measurement Period Adjustments		September 12, 2022 (Final)
Assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	89,704	$	—	$	89,704
Accounts receivable	409,642		1,181		410,823
Inventories	739,304		13,580		752,884
Prepaid expenses and other	102,032		20,673		122,705
Property, plant and equipment	658,997		(1,428)		657,569
Deferred income taxes	34,198		(18,730)		15,468
Other assets	180,991		(647)		180,344
Intangible assets	5,679,200		(28,000)		5,651,200
Goodwill	2,789,080		10,891		2,799,971
Total assets acquired	$	10,683,148	$	(2,480)	$	10,680,668
Liabilities:
Notes payable and long-term debt payable within one year	$	308,176	$	—	$	308,176
Accounts payable, trade	219,842		(705)		219,137
Accrued payrolls and other compensation	87,074		(1)		87,073
Accrued domestic and foreign taxes	21,068		(818)		20,250
Other accrued liabilities	322,040		158,137		480,177
Long-term debt	711,703		—		711,703
Pensions and other postretirement benefits	99,553		(2,028)		97,525
Deferred income taxes	1,259,417		(19,700)		1,239,717
Other liabilities	418,461		(137,365)		281,096

Total liabilities assumed	3,447,334		(2,480)		3,444,854
Net assets acquired	$	7,235,814	$	—	$	7,235,814

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired and represents cost synergies and enhancements to our existing technologies. For tax purposes, Meggitt's goodwill is not deductible. Based upon a final acquisition valuation, we acquired $4.2 billion of customer-related intangible assets, $1.1 billion of technology and $303 million of trade names, each with weighted average estimated useful lives of 21, 22, and 18 years, respectively. These intangible assets were valued using the income approach, which includes significant assumptions around future revenue growth, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, royalty rates and discount rates. Such assumptions are classified as level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

- 8 -

The following table presents unaudited pro forma information for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as if the Acquisition had occurred on July 1, 2021.

(Unaudited)

Three Months Ended

September 30, 2022

Net sales

4,614,105

Net income attributable to common shareholders

498,375

The historical consolidated financial information of Parker and Meggitt has been adjusted in the pro forma information in the table above to give effect to events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition and factually supportable. To reflect the occurrence of the Acquisition on July 1, 2021, the unaudited pro forma information includes adjustments for the amortization of the step-up of inventory to fair value and incremental depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. These adjustments were based upon a preliminary purchase price allocation. Additionally, adjustments to financing costs and income tax expense were also made to reflect the capital structure and anticipated effective tax rate of the combined entity. Additionally, the pro forma information includes adjustments for nonrecurring transactions directly related to the Acquisition, including the gain on the divestiture of the aircraft wheel and brake business, loss on deal-contingent forward contracts, and transaction costs. These non-recurring adjustments totaled $196 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The resulting pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the Acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period presented or that may occur in the future, and do not reflect future synergies, integration costs or other such costs or savings.

Divestitures

During September 2023, we divested the MicroStrain sensing systems business, which was part of the Diversified Industrial Segment, for proceeds of $37 million. The resulting pre-tax gain of $13 million is included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The operating results and net assets of the MicroStrain sensing systems business were immaterial to the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

During September 2022, we divested our aircraft wheel and brake business, which was part of the Aerospace Systems Segment, for proceeds of $441 million. The resulting pre-tax gain of $373 million is included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The operating results and net assets of the aircraft wheel and brake business were immaterial to the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

5. Earnings per share

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023		2022
Numerator:
Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	650,827	$	387,854
Denominator:
Basic - weighted average common shares	128,472,550		128,425,002
Increase in weighted average common shares from dilutive effect of equity-based awards	1,890,891		1,517,406
Diluted - weighted average common shares, assuming exercise of equity-based awards	130,363,441		129,942,408

Basic earnings per share	$	5.07	$	3.02
Diluted earnings per share	$	4.99	$	2.98

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, 172,255 and 887,307 common shares subject to equity-based awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their exercise would be anti-dilutive.

- 9 -

6. Share repurchase program

The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. On October 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the overall number of shares authorized for repurchase under the program so that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was 35 million. There is no limitation on the number of shares that can be repurchased in a fiscal year. There is no expiration date for this program. Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 124,496 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $401.62 per share.

7. Trade accounts receivable, net

Trade accounts receivable are initially recorded at their net collectible amount and are generally recorded at the time the revenue from the sales transaction is recorded. We evaluate the collectibility of our receivables based on historical experience and current and forecasted economic conditions based on management's judgment. Additionally, receivables are written off to bad debt when management makes a final determination of uncollectibility. Allowance for credit losses was $32 million at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

8. Non-trade and notes receivable

The non-trade and notes receivable caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet is comprised of the following components:


	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Notes receivable	$	99,259	$	102,288


Accounts receivable, other	196,838		206,879
Total	$	296,097	$	309,167

9. Inventories

Raw materials	657,082		625,086
Total	$	3,028,748	$	2,907,879

10. Supply chain financing

We have supply chain financing ("SCF") programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain suppliers the option to be paid by the financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. We are not a party to the agreements between the participating financial intermediaries and the suppliers in connection with the programs. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the programs. We do not reimburse suppliers for any costs they incur for participation in the programs and their participation is voluntary.

Amounts due to our suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF programs are included in accounts payable, trade on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and payments made under the programs are included within operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Accounts payable, trade included approximately $85 million payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in the SCF programs as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023. The amounts settled through the SCF programs and paid to the participating financial intermediaries totaled $72 million and $37 million during the first three months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.

11. Business realignment and acquisition integration charges

We incurred business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the first three months of fiscal 2024 and 2023. In both the first three months of fiscal 2024 and 2023, business realignment charges included severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures. In fiscal 2024 and 2023, a majority of the business realignment charges were incurred in Europe. We believe the realignment actions will positively impact future results of operations, but will not have a material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital.

Business realignment charges by business segment are as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023		2022
Diversified Industrial	$	12,639	$	2,012
Aerospace Systems	453		1,849

Reductions to our workforce made in connection with such business realignment charges by business segment are as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023	2022
Diversified Industrial	325	51
Aerospace Systems	2	12

The business realignment charges are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023		2022
Cost of sales	$	6,984	$	2,499
Selling, general and administrative expenses	6,108		1,362

During the first three months of fiscal 2024, approximately $11 million in payments were made relating to business realignment charges. Remaining payments related to business realignment actions of approximately $16 million, a majority of which are expected to be paid by December 31, 2023, are primarily reflected within the other accrued liabilities caption in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Additional charges may be recognized in future periods related to the business realignment actions described above, the timing and amount of which are not known at this time.

We also incurred the following acquisition integration charges:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023		2022
Diversified Industrial	$	1,139	$	186
Aerospace Systems	5,267		11,805

Charges incurred in fiscal 2024 and 2023 relate to the acquisition of Meggitt. In both fiscal 2024 and 2023, these charges were primarily included in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") within the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Acquisition represents goodwill resulting from the purchase price allocation for the Acquisition during the measurement period. Divestiture represents goodwill associated with the sale of the business. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion.

- 13 -

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their legal or estimated useful lives. The following summarizes the gross carrying value and accumulated amortization for each major category of intangible assets:


	September 30, 2023				June 30, 2023
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Patents and technology	$	2,104,195	$	374,104	$	2,128,847	$	352,040
Trade names	1,036,723		399,105		1,047,678		390,737
Customer relationships and other	8,015,606		2,191,357		8,109,063		2,092,197
Total	$	11,156,524	$	2,964,566	$	11,285,588	$	2,834,974

Total intangible amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $156 million and $87 million, respectively. The estimated amortization expense for the five years ending June 30, 2024 through 2028 is $565 million, $543 million, $539 million, $533 million and $524 million, respectively.

Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the undiscounted net cash flows to be generated by their use over their expected useful lives and eventual disposition may be less than their net carrying value. No material intangible asset impairments occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

14. Retirement benefits

Net pension (benefit) expense recognized included the following components:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023		2022
Service cost	$	13,527	$	14,253
Interest cost	66,881		46,351

Expected return on plan assets	(88,248)		(66,345)
Amortization of prior service cost	302		210
Amortization of net actuarial loss	1,182		6,443
Amortization of initial net obligation	—		—
Net pension (benefit) expense	$	(6,356)	$	912

We recognized $0.6 million and $0.2 million in expense related to other postretirement benefits during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Components of retirement benefits expense, other than service cost, are included in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

15. Debt

Our debt portfolio includes a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). Interest rates reset every one, three or six months at the discretion of the Company. At September 30, 2023, the Term Loan Facility had an interest rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 122.5 bps. Additionally, the provisions of the Term Loan Facility allow for prepayments at the Company's discretion. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we made principal payments totaling $175 million related to the Term Loan Facility. Refer to the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

Commercial paper notes outstanding at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 were $1.6 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively.

Based on the Company’s rating level at September 30, 2023, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.0. At September 30, 2023, our debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 0.54 to 1.0. We are in compliance, and expect to remain in compliance, with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement and indentures.

16. Income taxes

We file income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We are open to assessment on our U.S. federal income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years after 2013, and our state and local returns for fiscal years after 2016. We are also open to assessment for significant foreign jurisdictions for fiscal years after 2011. Unrecognized tax benefits reflect the difference between positions taken or expected to be taken on income tax returns and the amounts reflected in the financial statements.

- 14 -

As of September 30, 2023, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $111 million, all of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The accrued interest and accrued penalties related to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluded from the amount above, is $24 million and $2 million, respectively. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to approximately $40 million as a result of the revaluation of existing uncertain tax positions arising from developments in the examination process or the closure of tax statutes. Any increase in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months is expected to be insignificant.

17. Financial instruments

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other investments, accounts receivable and long-term investments, as well as obligations under accounts payable, trade, notes payable and long-term debt. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, trade and notes payable approximate fair value.

The carrying value of long-term debt, which excludes the impact of net unamortized debt issuance costs, and estimated fair value of long-term debt are as follows:


	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Carrying value of long-term debt	$	10,641,866	$	10,845,359
Estimated fair value of long-term debt	9,814,002		10,221,563

The fair value of long-term debt is classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

We utilize derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges, to manage foreign currency transaction and translation risk. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions, and we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company’s €700 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2025 have been designated as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The translation of the Senior Notes due 2025 into U.S. dollars is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value.

The location and fair value of derivative financial instruments reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:


	Balance Sheet Caption	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Net investment hedges

Cross-currency swap contracts	Investments and other assets	$	26,725	$	21,578

Other derivative contracts
Forward exchange contracts	Non-trade and notes receivable	418		—

The cross-currency swap and forward exchange contracts are reflected on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have not entered into any master netting arrangements.

The €69 million, €290 million and ¥2,149 million of cross-currency swap contracts have been designated as hedging instruments. The forward exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments and are considered to be economic hedges of forecasted transactions.

The forward exchange, costless collar contracts, and deal-contingent forward contracts, as well as cross-currency swap contracts acquired as part of the Acquisition, are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses in other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

- 15 -

Derivatives designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. We assess the effectiveness of the €69 million, €290 million and ¥2,149 million of cross-currency swap contracts designated as hedging instruments using the spot method. Under this method, the periodic interest settlements are recognized directly in earnings through interest expense.

Gains (losses) on derivative financial instruments were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023		2022
Deal-contingent forward contracts	$	—	$	(389,992)
Forward exchange contracts	436		(1,364)
Costless collar contracts	—		5,389
Cross-currency swap contracts	—		4,659

Gains (losses) on derivative and non-derivative financial instruments that were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
	2023		2022
Cross-currency swap contracts	$	2,583	$	26,819

Foreign currency denominated debt	17,879		36,139

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the periodic interest settlements related to the cross-currency swap contracts were not material.

A summary of financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023 are as follows:

The fair values of the equity securities are determined using the closing market price reported in the active market in which the fund is traded.

Derivatives consist of forward exchange and cross-currency swap contracts, the fair values of which are calculated using market observable inputs including both spot and forward prices for the same underlying currencies. The calculation of the fair value of the cross-currency swap contracts also utilizes a present value cash flow model.

The primary investment objective for all investments is the preservation of principal and liquidity while earning income.

There are no other financial assets or financial liabilities that are marked to market on a recurring basis.

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION

FORM 10-Q

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

AND COMPARABLE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

OVERVIEW

The Company is a global leader in motion and control technologies. For more than a century, the Company has engineered the success of its customers in a wide range of diversified industrial and aerospace markets.

By aligning around our purpose, Enabling Engineering Breakthroughs that Lead to a Better Tomorrow, Parker is better positioned for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

The Win Strategy 3.0 is Parker's business system that defines the goals and initiatives that create responsible, sustainable growth and enable Parker's long-term success. It works with our purpose, which is a foundational element of The Win Strategy, to engage team members and create responsible and sustainable growth. Our shared values shape our culture and our interactions with stakeholders and the communities in which we operate and live.

We believe many opportunities for profitable growth are available. The Company intends to focus primarily on business opportunities in the areas of energy, water, food, environment, defense, life sciences, infrastructure and transportation. We believe we can meet our strategic objectives by:

•serving the customer and continuously enhancing its experience with the Company;

•successfully executing The Win Strategy initiatives relating to engaged people, premier customer experience, profitable growth and financial performance;

•maintaining a decentralized division and sales company structure;

•fostering a safety-first and entrepreneurial culture;

•engineering innovative systems and products to provide superior customer value through improved service, efficiency and productivity;

•delivering products, systems and services that have demonstrable savings to customers and are priced by the value they deliver;

•enabling a sustainable future by providing innovative technology solutions that make our world safer, smarter and cleaner and operating responsibly by minimizing our environmental impact and conserving natural resources;

•acquiring strategic businesses;

•organizing around targeted regions, technologies and markets;

•driving efficiency by implementing lean enterprise principles; and

•creating a culture of empowerment through our values, inclusion and diversity, accountability and teamwork.

Our order rates provide a near-term perspective of the Company’s outlook particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future order rates. The Company publishes its order rates on a quarterly basis. The lead time between the time an order is received and revenue is realized generally ranges from one day to 12 weeks for mobile and industrial orders and from one day to 18 months for aerospace orders.

The continuing inflationary cost environment as well as disruption within the global supply chain and labor markets have impacted our business. We continue to manage the challenging supply chain environment through our "local for local" manufacturing strategy, ongoing supplier management process, and broadened supply base. We continue to manage the impact of the inflationary cost environment through a variety of cost and pricing measures, including continuous improvement and lean initiatives. Additionally, we strategically manage our workforce and discretionary spending. At the same time, we are appropriately addressing the ongoing needs of our business so that we continue to serve our customers.

- 18 -

Over the long term, the extent to which our business and results of operations will be impacted by economic and political uncertainty, geopolitical risks and public health crises depends on future developments that remain uncertain. We will continue to monitor the global environment and manage our business with the goal to minimize unfavorable impacts on operations and financial results.

The discussion below is structured to separately discuss the Consolidated Statement of Income, Business Segment Information, and Liquidity and Capital Resources. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "Company", "Parker", "we" or "us" refer to Parker-Hannifin Corporation and its subsidiaries.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023			2022
Net sales	$	4,847		$	4,233
Gross profit margin	36.1		%	34.0		%
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	874		$	836
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales	18.0		%	19.7		%

Interest expense	$	134		$	118
Other income, net	$	(78)		$	(20)
Effective tax rate	20.6		%	22.9		%
Net income	$	651		$	388
Net income, as a percent of sales	13.4		%	9.2		%

Net sales increased for the current-year quarter when compared to the prior-year quarter due to higher sales in both the Aerospace Systems and Diversified Industrial Segments. Acquisitions completed within the last 12 months increased sales by approximately $501 million during the current-year quarter. The effect of currency rate changes increased net sales by approximately $39 million, which was primarily attributable to the Diversified Industrial International businesses. Divestitures completed within the last 12 months decreased sales by approximately $25 million during the current-year quarter.

Gross profit margin (calculated as net sales minus cost of sales, divided by net sales) increased in the current-year quarter due to higher margins in both the Aerospace Systems and Diversified Industrial Segments. The increase in gross profit margin during the current-year quarter is primarily due to benefits from cost containment initiatives, price increases, favorable product mix and moderating material costs.

Cost of sales also included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $8 million and $3 million for the current-year and prior-year quarter, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased during the current-year quarter primarily due to higher amortization expense, general administrative expenses resulting from the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of Meggitt plc ("Meggitt") and research and development expense, partially offset by the decrease in acquisition-related costs.

SG&A included business realignment and acquisition integration charges of $11 million and $13 million for the current-year and prior-year quarter, respectively.

Interest expense for the current-year quarter increased primarily due to higher average interest rates, partially offset by lower average outstanding debt when compared to the prior-year quarter.

Other income, net included the following:

Interest income	(4)		(26)

Loss on deal-contingent forward contracts	—		390

Other items, net	(4)		(2)
	$	(78)	$	(20)

Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss primarily relates to the impact of exchange rates on cash, forward contracts, certain cross-currency swap contracts and intercompany transactions. Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss in the prior-year quarter also included foreign currency transaction loss associated with completing the Acquisition.

Gain on disposal of assets and divestitures for the first three months of fiscal 2023 includes a gain on the sale of the aircraft wheel and brake business within the Aerospace Systems Segment of $373 million. Refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Loss on deal-contingent forward contracts includes a loss on the deal-contingent forward contracts related to the Acquisition. Refer to the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

Effective tax rate for the current-year quarter was lower than the comparable prior-year period primarily due to an increase in discrete tax benefits. The fiscal 2024 effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 23.0 percent.

The Diversified Industrial Segment operations experienced the following percentage changes in net sales in the current-year period versus the comparable prior-year period:


	Period Ending September 30, 2023
	Three Months
Diversified Industrial North America – as reported	4.6	%
Acquisitions	3.6	%

Currency	0.5	%
Diversified Industrial North America – without acquisitions and currency1	0.5	%

Diversified Industrial International – as reported	2.5	%
Acquisitions	2.8	%

Currency	1.9	%
Diversified Industrial International – without acquisitions and currency1	(2.2)	%

Total Diversified Industrial Segment – as reported	3.8	%
Acquisitions	3.3	%

Currency	1.0	%
Total Diversified Industrial Segment – without acquisitions and currency1	(0.5)	%

1This table reconciles the percentage changes in net sales of the Diversified Industrial Segment reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") to percentage changes in net sales adjusted to remove the effects of acquisitions and divestitures made within the last 12 months as well as currency exchange rates (a non-GAAP measure). The effects of acquisitions, divestitures and currency exchange rates are removed to allow investors and the Company to meaningfully evaluate the percentage changes in net sales on a comparable basis from period to period.

Net Sales

Diversified Industrial North America - Sales increased 4.6 percent during the current-year quarter compared to the same prior-year period. The effect of the Acquisition increased sales by approximately $77 million during the current-year quarter. Currency exchange rates increased sales by approximately $11 million in the current-year quarter. Excluding the effects of the Acquisition and changes in the currency exchange rates, sales in the Diversified Industrial North American businesses increased 0.5 percent in the current-year quarter when compared to prior-year levels primarily due to higher demand from distributors and end users across the oil and gas, material handling, cars and light trucks and farm and agriculture markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the refrigeration, engines, construction equipment and life sciences markets.

Diversified Industrial International - Sales increased 2.5 percent from the prior-year quarter. The effect of the Acquisition increased sales by approximately $38 million during the current-year quarter. Currency exchange rates increased sales by approximately $25 million in the current-year quarter. Excluding the effects of the Acquisition and changes in the currency exchange rates, Diversified Industrial International sales decreased 2.2 percent in the current-year quarter from prior-year levels. In the current-year quarter, the Asia Pacific region contributed to the decrease in sales, partially offset by an increase in sales in Europe and Latin America.

Within Europe, sales in the current-year quarter increased primarily due to higher demand from distributors and end users across the engines, heavy-duty truck, oil and gas, cars and light trucks, machine tools and semiconductor markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the power generation and life sciences markets.

Within the Asia Pacific region, sales in the current-year quarter decreased primarily due to lower demand from distributors and end users across the semiconductor, cars and light truck, metal fabrication, rubber and plastics and industrial machinery markets, partially offset by higher end-user demand in the engines, marine and oil and gas markets.

Within Latin America, sales in the current-year quarter increased primarily due to higher demand from distributors and end users in the oil and gas and railroad markets, partially offset by lower end-user demand in the heavy-duty truck, metal fabrication, industrial machinery and farm and agriculture markets.

- 21 -

Operating Margin

Operating margins in both the North American and International businesses during the current-year quarter increased primarily due to benefits from cost containment initiatives, price increases and favorable product mix, partially offset by decreased volume.

Business Realignment

The following business realignment and acquisition integration charges are included in Diversified Industrial North American and Diversified Industrial International operating income:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022
Diversified Industrial North America	$	4	$	—
Diversified Industrial International	10		2

The business realignment charges primarily consist of severance costs related to actions taken under the Company's simplification initiative aimed at reducing organizational and process complexity, as well as plant closures. Acquisition integration charges relate to the acquisition of Meggitt. Business realignment and acquisition integration charges within the Diversified Industrial International businesses were primarily incurred in Europe.

We anticipate that cost savings realized from the workforce reduction measures taken in the first three months of fiscal 2024 will not materially impact operating income in fiscal 2024 or 2025. We expect to continue to take actions necessary to integrate acquisitions and appropriately structure the operations of the Diversified Industrial Segment. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $55 million of additional business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2024. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.

Backlog

Diversified Industrial Segment backlog as of September 30, 2023 decreased from the prior-year quarter primarily due to shipments exceeding orders in both the North American and International businesses. Backlog in the North American and International businesses accounted for approximately 85 percent and 15 percent of the decrease, respectively. Within the International businesses, the decrease in backlog was primarily due the Asia Pacific region and Latin America, partially offset by an increase in backlog in Europe.

As of September 30, 2023, Diversified Industrial Segment backlog decreased compared to the June 30, 2023 amount of $4.8 billion due to shipments exceeding orders in both the North American and International businesses. Backlog in the North American and International businesses accounted for approximately 55 percent and 45 percent of the decrease, respectively. Within the International businesses, Europe, the Asia Pacific region and Latin America accounted for approximately 80 percent, 15 percent and five percent of the decrease, respectively.

Backlog consists of written firm orders from a customer to deliver products and, in the case of blanket purchase orders, only includes the portion of the order for which a schedule or release date has been agreed to with the customer. The dollar value of backlog is equal to the amount that is expected to be billed to the customer and reported as a sale.

Backlog	$	6,270		$	5,346

- 22 -

Net Sales

Aerospace Systems Segment sales for the current-year quarter increased compared to the same prior-year period primarily due to the addition of Meggitt sales of $386 million during the current-year quarter compared to $115 million during the prior-year quarter. Sales also increased compared to the same prior-year period due to higher volume across all businesses, especially the commercial and military aftermarket businesses.

Operating Margin

Aerospace Systems Segment operating margin increased during the current-year quarter primarily due to higher volume across all businesses and favorable aftermarket mix. In addition, cost containment initiatives, benefits from prior-year business realignment and acquisition integration activities and favorable contract settlements also contributed to the increase in operating margin.

Business Realignment

Within the Aerospace Systems Segment, we incurred acquisition integration and business realignment charges of $6 million and $14 million in the current and prior-year quarter, respectively. We expect to incur approximately $17 million of additional business realignment and acquisition integration charges in the remainder of fiscal 2024. However, continually changing business conditions could impact the ultimate costs we incur.

Backlog

Aerospace Systems Segment backlog as of September 30, 2023 increased from the prior-year quarter primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in all businesses, especially the commercial aftermarket business.

The increase in backlog from the June 30, 2023 amount of $6.2 billion is primarily due to orders exceeding shipments in the commercial and military aftermarket businesses and military original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") business, partially offset by shipments exceeding orders in the commercial OEM business.

Corporate general & administrative expenses

Expense	2023			2022
Corporate general and administrative expense	$	56		$	52
Corporate general and administrative expense, as a percent of sales	1.1		%	1.2		%

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased in the current-year quarter primarily due to higher incentive compensation, partially offset by a decrease in net expense associated with the Company's deferred compensation plan and related investments.

- 23 -

Other expense, net (in Business Segments) included the following:

Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss primarily relates to the impact of exchange rates on cash, forward contracts, certain cross currency swap contracts and intercompany transactions. Foreign currency transaction (gain) loss in the prior-year quarter also included foreign currency transaction loss associated with completing the Acquisition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that we are great generators and deployers of cash. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operations and meet our strategic capital deployment objectives, which include the following:

•Continuing our record annual dividend increases

•Investing in organic growth and productivity

•Strategic acquisitions that strengthen our portfolio

•Offset share dilution through 10b5-1 share repurchase program

Cash Flows

A summary of cash flows follows:


	Three Months Ended
	September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2023		2022
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	650	$	457
Investing activities	(56)		(7,927)
Financing activities	(618)		1,340
Effect of exchange rates	(2)		(16)
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(26)	$	(6,146)

Cash flows from operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2024 were $650 million compared to $457 million for the first three months of fiscal 2023. This increase of $193 million was primarily related to net changes in cash provided by accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable, trade. We continue to focus on managing inventory and other working capital requirements. Cash flows from operating activities for the first three months of fiscal 2023 were negatively impacted by acquisition transaction expenses.

- 24 -

•Days sales outstanding relating to trade accounts receivable was 52 days at September 30, 2023, 51 days at June 30, 2023 and 58 days at September 30, 2022.

•Days supply of inventory on hand was 96 days at September 30, 2023, 85 days at June 30, 2023 and 94 days at September 30, 2022.

Cash flows from investing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2024 and 2023 were impacted by the following factors:

•Payment for the Acquisition, net of cash acquired, of $7.1 billion in fiscal 2023.

•Payments to settle the deal-contingent forward contracts of $1.4 billion in fiscal 2023.

•Net proceeds from the sale of the aircraft wheel and brake business of approximately $441 million in fiscal 2023.

•Cash collateral received of $250 million in fiscal 2023 per the credit support annex attached to the deal-contingent forward contracts.

•Capital expenditures of $98 million in fiscal 2024 compared to $84 million in the same prior-year period.

•Net purchases of marketable securities of $0.5 million in fiscal 2024 compared to maturities of $9 million in fiscal 2023.

Cash flows from financing activities for the first three months of fiscal 2024 and 2023 were impacted by the following factors:

•Proceeds of $2 billion from borrowings under the term loan facility ("Term Loan Facility") in fiscal 2023.

•Payments related to maturity of $300 million aggregate principal amount of medium term notes in fiscal 2023.

•Repurchases of 0.1 million common shares for $50 million during fiscal 2024 compared to repurchases of 0.2 million common shares for $50 million during fiscal 2023.

•Net commercial paper repayments of $170 million in fiscal 2024 compared to net commercial paper repayments of $112 million in fiscal 2023.

•Principal payments totaling $175 million related to the Term Loan Facility in fiscal 2024.

Cash Requirements

We are actively monitoring our liquidity position and remain focused on managing our inventory and other working capital requirements. We are continuing to target two percent of sales for capital expenditures and are prioritizing those related to safety and strategic investments. We believe that cash generated from operations and our commercial paper program will satisfy our operating needs for the foreseeable future.

Dividends

We declared a quarterly dividend of $1.48 per share on August 17, 2023, which was paid on September 8, 2023. Dividends have been paid for 293 consecutive quarters, including a yearly increase in dividends for the last 67 years. Additionally, we declared a quarterly dividend of $1.48 per share on October 25, 2023, payable on December 1, 2023.

Share Repurchases

The Company has a program to repurchase its common shares. On October 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the overall number of shares authorized to repurchase under the program so that, beginning on such date, the aggregate number of shares authorized for repurchase was 35 million. There is no limitation on the number of shares that can be repurchased in a year. Repurchases may be funded primarily from operating cash flows and commercial paper borrowings and the shares are initially held as treasury shares. Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of share repurchases.

Liquidity

Cash, comprised of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and other investments, includes $404 million and $422 million held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company does not permanently reinvest certain foreign earnings. The distribution of these earnings could result in non-federal U.S. or foreign taxes. All other undistributed foreign earnings remain permanently reinvested.

We are currently authorized to sell up to $3.0 billion of short-term commercial paper notes. As of September 30, 2023, $1.6 billion of commercial paper notes were outstanding, and the largest amount of commercial paper notes outstanding during the current-year quarter was $1.9 billion.

The Company has a line of credit totaling $3.0 billion through a multi-currency revolving credit agreement with a group of banks, of which $1.4 billion was available as of September 30, 2023. Advances from the credit agreement can be used for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, and for the refinancing of existing indebtedness. The credit agreement supports our commercial paper program, and issuances of commercial paper reduce the amount of credit available under the agreement. The credit agreement expires in June 2028; however, the Company has the right to request a one-year extension of the expiration date on an annual basis, which may result in changes to the current terms and conditions of the credit agreement. The credit agreement requires the payment of an annual facility fee, the amount of which is dependent upon the Company’s credit ratings. Although a lowering of the Company’s credit ratings would increase the cost of future debt, it would not limit the Company’s ability to use the credit agreement, nor would it accelerate the repayment of any outstanding borrowings.

We primarily utilize unsecured medium-term notes and senior notes to meet our financing needs and we expect to continue to borrow funds at reasonable rates over the long term. Refer to the Cash flows from financing activities section above and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Our debt portfolio includes a Term Loan Facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we made principal payments totaling $175 million related to the Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The Company’s credit agreement and indentures governing certain debt securities contain various covenants, the violation of which would limit or preclude the use of the credit agreements for future borrowings, or might accelerate the maturity of the related outstanding borrowings covered by the indentures. Based on the Company’s rating level at September 30, 2023, the most restrictive financial covenant provides that the ratio of debt to debt-shareholders' equity cannot exceed 0.65 to 1.0. At September 30, 2023, the Company's debt to debt-shareholders' equity ratio was 0.54 to 1.0. We are in compliance and expect to remain in compliance with all covenants set forth in the credit agreement and indentures.

Our goal is to maintain an investment-grade credit profile. The rating agencies periodically update our credit ratings as events occur. At September 30, 2023, the long-term credit ratings assigned to the Company's senior debt securities by the credit rating agencies engaged by the Company were as follows:


Fitch Ratings						BBB+
Moody's Investors Services, Inc.						Baa1
Standard & Poor's						BBB+

Supply Chain Financing

We continue to identify opportunities to improve our liquidity and working capital efficiency, which includes the extension of payment terms with our suppliers. We have supply chain financing ("SCF") programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain suppliers the option to be paid by the financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. We do not believe that changes in the availability of supply chain financing will have a significant impact on our liquidity. Refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The Company makes these statements as of the date of the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and undertakes no obligation to update them unless otherwise required by law.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

A substantial portion of our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Most of our non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. We continue to manage the associated foreign currency transaction and translation risk using existing processes.

The Company manages foreign currency transaction and translation risk by utilizing derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, including forward exchange contracts, cross-currency swap contracts and certain foreign currency denominated debt designated as net investment hedges. The derivative financial instrument contracts are with major investment grade financial institutions and we do not anticipate any material non-performance by any of the counterparties. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Further information on the fair value of these contracts is provided in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through the Consolidated Statement of Income. Derivatives that are designated as hedges are adjusted to fair value by recording gains and losses through accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For cross-currency swap contracts measured using the spot method, the periodic interest settlements are recognized directly in earnings through interest expense. The translation of the foreign currency denominated debt that has been designated as a net investment hedge is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and remains there until the underlying net investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

The Company’s debt portfolio contains variable rate debt, inherently exposing the Company to interest rate risk. Our objective is to maintain a 60/40 mix between fixed rate and variable rate debt thereby limiting our exposure to changes in near-term interest rates. At September 30, 2023, our debt portfolio included $700 million of variable rate debt, exclusive of commercial paper borrowings. A 100 basis point increase in near-term interest rates would increase annual interest expense on variable rate debt, including weighted-average commercial paper borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 2023, by approximately $24 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
