Business

SPX Technologies, Inc. (“SPX”, “our”, “the Company”, or “we”) is the successor registrant pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to SPX Corporation (“Legacy SPX”) as a result of the completion on August 15, 2022 of a holding company reorganization (the “Holding Company Reorganization”) effected as a merger of Legacy SPX with and into SPX Merger, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company. Each share of Legacy SPX’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization was automatically converted into an equivalent corresponding share of the Company's common stock having the same designations, rights, powers and preferences and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the corresponding share of Legacy SPX common stock being converted. Accordingly, upon consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization, Legacy SPX stockholders became stockholders of the Company. Legacy SPX was founded in Muskegon, Michigan in 1912 as the Piston Ring Company and adopted the name SPX Corporation in 1988. Our common stock has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 1972. The terms “SPX,” “we” and “our” include Legacy SPX for periods prior to the consummation of the Holding Company Reorganization as the context requires.

On September 26, 2015, we completed the spin-off to our stockholders (the “Spin-Off”) of all the outstanding shares of SPX FLOW, Inc.

The divested subsidiaries have agreed to indemnify us and our affiliates for their asbestos-related liabilities, which encompassed all of our consolidated asbestos-related liabilities and contingent liabilities immediately prior to the divestiture. These indemnification obligations are not subject to any cap or time limitation. The board of managers of each of the divested subsidiaries received a solvency opinion from an independent advisory firm that the divested subsidiaries were solvent after giving effect to the Asbestos Portfolio Sale.

Unless otherwise indicated, the description of our business provided in Part I pertains to continuing operations only (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for information on discontinued operations). A description of the general development of our business, including with respect to developments occurring prior to those discussed above, is included in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which description is incorporated by reference.

We are a diversified, global supplier of highly specialized, engineered solutions serving the HVAC and detection and measurement markets. With operations in 16 countries and approximately 4,700 employees, we offer a wide array of highly engineered infrastructure products with strong brands.

HVAC solutions offered by our businesses include package and process cooling products and engineered air movement and handling solutions for the HVAC industrial (including data center and power generation), institutional, and commercial markets, as well as hydronic and electrical heating and ventilation products for the residential, industrial, institutional, and commercial markets. Our market leading brands, coupled with our commitment to continuous innovation and focus on our customers’ needs, enables our HVAC cooling and heating businesses to serve an expanding number of industrial, institutional, commercial, and residential customers. Growth for our HVAC businesses will be driven by innovation, increased scalability, and our ability to meet the needs of broader markets.

Our detection and measurement product lines encompass underground pipe and cable locators, inspection and rehabilitation equipment, robotic systems, transportation systems, communication technologies, and aids to navigation. Our detection and measurement solutions enable utilities, telecommunication providers and regulators, defense agencies, and municipalities and transit authorities to build, monitor and maintain vital infrastructure. Our technology and decades of experience have afforded us a strong position in specific detection and measurement markets. We intend to expand our portfolio of specialized products through new, innovative hardware and software solutions in an attempt to (i) further capitalize on the detection and measurement markets we currently serve and (ii) expand the number of markets that we serve.

Reportable Segments

Our operating segments are aggregated into the following two reportable segments: HVAC and Detection and Measurement. The factors considered in determining our aggregated segments are the economic similarity of the businesses, the nature of products sold or services provided, production processes, types of customers, distribution methods, and regulatory environment. In determining our reportable segments, we apply the threshold criteria of the Segment Reporting Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Codification (“Codification”). Segment income for our reportable segments is determined before considering, if applicable, impairments and special charges, long-term incentive compensation, certain other operating income/expense, other indirect corporate expenses, intangible asset amortization expense, inventory step-up charges, and certain other acquisition and integration-related costs. This is consistent with the way our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), the President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the results of each segment.

HVAC Reportable Segment

Our HVAC reportable segment had revenues of $1,518.2, $1,364.7, and $1,122.3 in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and backlog of $584.5 and $436.8 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Approximately 83% of the segment’s backlog as of December 31, 2025 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2026. The segment engineers, designs, manufactures, installs and services package and process cooling products and engineered air movement and handling solutions for the industrial (including data center and power generation), institutional, and commercial HVAC markets, as well as hydronic and electrical heating and ventilation products for the residential, industrial, institutional, and commercial markets. The primary distribution channels for the segment’s products are direct to customers, independent manufacturing representatives, third-party distributors, and retailers. The segment serves a global customer base in North America, Europe, and Asia. Core brands for our cooling products and engineered air movement and handling solutions include Marley, Recold, SGS, Cincinnati Fan, TAMCO, Ingénia, Air Enterprises, and Rahn Industries while our hydronics and electrical heating and ventilation products are sold under the Berko, Qmark, Fahrenheat, Leading Edge, Patterson-Kelley, Weil-McLain, Sigma, Omega, Skypeak, Thermolec, Williamson-Thermoflo, INDEECO, Heatrex, AccuTherm, Brasch, Spectrum, BannerDay PipeHeating, and Solar Products brands.

Detection and Measurement Reportable Segment

Our Detection and Measurement reportable segment had revenues of $746.9, $619.2, and $618.9 in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and backlog of $350.3 and $220.9 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Approximately 66% of the segment’s backlog as of December 31, 2025 is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2026. The segment engineers, designs, manufactures, services, and installs underground pipe and cable locators, inspection and rehabilitation equipment, robotic systems, transportation systems, communication technologies, and aids to navigation. The primary distribution channels for the segment’s products are direct to customers and third-party distributors. The segment serves a global customer base in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Core brands for our underground pipe and cable locators and inspection and rehabilitation equipment are Radiodetection, Pearpoint, Schonstedt, Dielectric, Cues, ULC Robotics, and Sensors & Software. Our transportation systems are sold under the Genfare brand, our communication technologies products are sold under the TCI, ECS, and KTS brands, and our aids to navigation products are sold under the Flash Technology, ITL, Sabik Marine, Sealite, and Avlite brands.

Acquisitions

From time to time, we may make acquisitions that do not significantly impact our financial position or statements of operations. These acquisitions primarily complement our existing business operations or strategic initiatives with no significant impact to our financial outlook and end markets, nor requiring a significant investment of resources. Such acquisitions are not separately identified within this report on Form 10-K. During the year ended December 31, 2025, cash outflows, net of cash acquired, related to this activity totaled $8.2. The post-acquisition operating results are reflected within our HVAC reportable segment and have no significant impact to our financial outlook and end markets. We regularly review and negotiate potential acquisitions in the ordinary course of business, some of which are or may be material.

As previously indicated, we acquired Thermolec in January 2026, Crawford in February 2026, Sigma & Omega in April 2025, KTS in January 2025, Ingénia in 2024, and TAMCO and ASPEQ in 2023.

Divestitures

We regularly review and negotiate potential divestitures in the ordinary course of business, some of which are or may be material. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on discontinued operations.

International Operations

We are a multinational corporation with operations in 16 countries. Sales outside the United States were $452.5, $343.1 and $287.1 in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for more information on our international operations.

Research and Development

We are actively engaged in research and development programs designed to improve existing products and manufacturing methods and develop new products to better serve our current and future customers. These efforts encompass certain of our products with divisional engineering teams coordinating their resources. We place particular emphasis on the development of new products that are compatible with, and build upon, our manufacturing and marketing capabilities and that provide sustainable solutions to our customers.

Patents/Trademarks

At December 31, 2025, we owned 149 domestic and 313 foreign patents for a total of 462 patents (foreign patents include patents in individual countries in the European Union (“EU”), as well as EU-level patents), including 12 patents that were issued in 2025, covering a variety of our products and manufacturing methods. We also own a number of registered trademarks. Although in the aggregate our patents and trademarks are of considerable importance in the operation of our business, we do not consider any single patent or trademark to be of such importance that its absence would adversely affect our ability to conduct business as presently constituted. We are both a licensor and licensee of patents. For more information, please refer to “Risk Factors.”

Outsourcing and Raw Materials

We manufacture many of the components used in our products; however, our strategy includes outsourcing certain components and sub-assemblies to other companies where strategically and economically beneficial. In instances where we depend on third-party suppliers for outsourced products or components, we are subject to the risk of customer dissatisfaction with the quality or performance of the products we sell due to supplier failure. In addition, business difficulties experienced by a

4

third-party supplier can lead to the interruption of our ability to obtain the outsourced product or component and ultimately to our inability to supply certain products to our customers on a timely basis or at all.

We are subject to increases in the prices, including from the impact of tariffs, of many of our key raw materials, including petroleum-based products, aluminum, steel, and copper. In recent years, we have generally been able to offset increases in raw material costs through corresponding product pricing actions. Occasionally, we are subject to long-term supplier contracts, which may increase our exposure to pricing fluctuations.

Due to our diverse products and services, as well as the wide geographic dispersion of our production facilities, we use numerous sources for the raw materials needed in our operations. We are not significantly dependent on any one or a limited number of suppliers, and we have been able to obtain suitable quantities of raw materials at competitive prices.

For information regarding the impact of tariffs and other cost increases refer to “MD&A - Impacts of Tariffs and Other Cost Increases.”

Competition

Our competitive position cannot be determined accurately in the aggregate or by reportable or operating segment since we and our competitors do not offer all the same product lines or serve all the same markets. In addition, specific reliable comparative figures are not available for many of our competitors. In most product groups, competition comes from numerous concerns, both large and small. The principal methods of competition are service, product performance, technical innovation and price. These methods vary with the type of product sold. We believe we compete effectively on the basis of each of these factors as they apply to the various products and services offered.

Environmental Matters

See “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Contingent Liabilities,” “MD&A — Critical Accounting Estimates — Contingent Liabilities,” and Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding environmental matters.

Human Capital Resources

At December 31, 2025, we had approximately 4,700 employees, with approximately 3,500 employed in the United States. We also leverage temporary workers to provide flexibility for our business and manufacturing needs. Six domestic collective bargaining agreements cover approximately 480 of our employees. In addition, we have various collective labor arrangements covering certain of our non-U.S. employee groups. While we generally have experienced satisfactory labor relations, we are subject to potential union campaigns, work stoppages, union negotiations and other potential labor disputes.

We believe that our future success is impacted by our continued ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. As such, we strive to provide an environment where employees are developed and provided with challenging career growth opportunities. We offer a “Total Rewards” program that provides comprehensive compensation and benefits packages that are designed to reward employees and assist them in managing their well-being. We have focused many of our policies and programs to provide increased flexibility and work-life balance to our team members.

As part of our focus on building and sustaining a highly capable, engaged and motivated workforce that has the ability to deliver on the current and future requirements of the Company, we continue to advance our talent management framework, known as RiSE, which helps us Reach, Identify, Strengthen, and Engage our workforce. In 2025, we expanded our Building Strength program, adding new development opportunities for all employees in leadership, communication, team development, and collaboration directly aligned to our Leadership Model. We continued to expand participation in our leadership development programs and have now trained 315 leaders through our “Frontline Leaders Program” and 138 leaders have completed our midlevel leader program, “Amplified Leadership.” We began our fourth cohort of our Executive Leadership Program in 2025 adding to our growing class of more than 50 leaders who have completed this advanced development program.

At the beginning of 2025, we launched our updated Global Employee Survey with over 90% employee participation, the results of which informed discussions about what is most important to our employees and helped us develop action plans to focus on those priorities. During 2025, we continued our focus on enhancing our programs aimed at ensuring that we provide an inclusive environment where all employees feel valued and respected. We believe through these efforts we can unlock greater potential, provide new opportunities for our employees, and benefit from varying backgrounds and points of view.

Other Matters

No customer or group of customers that, to our knowledge, are under common control accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues for any period presented.

5

Our businesses maintain sufficient levels of working capital to support customer requirements, particularly inventory. We believe our businesses’ sales and payment terms are generally similar to those of our competitors.

Many of our businesses closely follow changes in the industries and end markets they serve. In addition, certain businesses have seasonal fluctuations. Historically, our businesses generally tend to be stronger in the second half of the calendar year.
