Cautionary Statement This document contains forward-looking statements about Whirlpool Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries ( Whirlpool ) that speak only as of this date. Whirlpool disclaims any obligation to update these statements. Forward-looking statements in this document may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future financial results, long-term value creation goals, restructuring and resegmentation expectations, productivity, raw material prices and related costs, supply chain, transaction-related closing and synergies expectations, asset impairment, litigation, ESG efforts, debt repayment expectations, and the impact of COVID-19 and the Russia/Ukraine, Israel and Red Sea conflicts on our operations. Many risks, contingencies and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from Whirlpool's forward-looking statements. Among these factors are: (1) intense competition in the home appliance industry, and the impact of the changing retail environment, including direct-to-consumer sales; (2) Whirlpool's ability to maintain or increase sales to significant trade customers; (3) Whirlpool's ability to maintain its reputation and brand image; (4) the ability of Whirlpool to achieve its business objectives and leverage its global operating platform, and accelerate the rate of innovation; (5) Whirlpool’s ability to understand consumer preferences and successfully develop new products; (6) Whirlpool's ability to obtain and protect intellectual property rights; (7) acquisition, divestiture, and investment-related risks, including risks associated with our past acquisitions; (8) the ability of suppliers of critical parts, components and manufacturing equipment to deliver sufficient quantities to Whirlpool in a timely and cost-effective manner; (9) COVID-19 pandemic, other public health emergency-related business disruptions and economic uncertainty; (10) Whirlpool's ability to navigate risks associated with our presence in emerging markets; (11) risks related to our international operations; (12) Whirlpool's ability to respond to unanticipated social, political and/or economic events; (13) information technology system failures, data security breaches, data privacy compliance, network disruptions, and cybersecurity attacks; (14) product liability and product recall costs; (15) Whirlpool's ability to attract, develop and retain executives and other qualified employees; (16) the impact of labor relations; (17) fluctuations in the cost of key materials (including steel, resins, base metals) and components and the ability of Whirlpool to offset cost increases; (18) Whirlpool's ability to manage foreign currency fluctuations; (19) impacts from goodwill impairment and related charges; (20) triggering events or circumstances impacting the carrying value of our long-lived assets; (21) inventory and other asset risk; (22) health care cost trends, regulatory changes and variations between results and estimates that could increase future funding obligations for pension and postretirement benefit plans; (23) litigation, tax, and legal compliance risk and costs; (24) the effects and costs of governmental investigations or related actions by third parties; (25) changes in the legal and regulatory environment including environmental, health and safety regulations, data privacy, and taxes and tariffs; (26) Whirlpool's ability to respond to the impact of climate change and climate change regulation; and (27) the uncertain global economy and changes in economic conditions. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in Risk Factors in Item 1A of Whirlpool’s 2023 10-K report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, and investors are advised to review disclosures in our filings with the SEC. It is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. Therefore, investors should not consider the foregoing factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks, uncertainties, or factors that could potentially cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements. 4
Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, some of which we refer to as ongoing measures, including: earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), EBIT margin, ongoing EBIT, ongoing EBIT margin, and ongoing earnings per diluted share. Other non-GAAP financial measures that may be included in this presentation are free cash flow, free cash flow as percentage of sales, adjusted effective tax rate, net debt leverage and return on invested capital (ROIC). Ongoing EBIT margin: Ongoing EBIT divided by net sales. Ongoing measures exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Slide(s): 36, 37, 38, 78, 79 Segment EBIT: Consolidated EBIT broken down by the Company's reportable segments and are metrics used by the chief operating decision maker in accordance with ASC 280. Consolidated EBIT also includes corporate Other/Eliminations of $(475) million for full-year 2023, $(2,571) million for full-year 2022, $(152) million for full-year 2021, $(336) million for full-year 2020, $102 million for full-year 2019, $(1,358) million for full-year 2018, $(516) million for full-year 2017, $(384) million for full-year 2016, $(439) million for full-year 2015 . Management believes segment EBIT provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time for each segment. Slide(s): 8, 12, 14, 29, 37, 60, 61, 64, 65, 66, 67, 69, 70 Segment Operating Profit: Consolidated operating profit broken down by the Company’s reportable segments and are metrics used by the chief operating decision maker in accordance with ASC 280. Consolidated EBIT also includes corporate Other/Eliminations of $(397) million for full-year 2014, $(408) million for full-year 2013, $(439) million for full-year 2012, $(279) million for full-year 2011, $(257) million for full-year 2010, $(286) million for full-year 2009, $(287) million for full-year 2008. Slide(s): 8 Ongoing earnings per diluted share: Diluted net earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted to exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations. Ongoing measures provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Slide(s): 42 Free cash flow: Cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow and free cash flow as a percentage of sales provides stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing Whirlpool's ability to fund its activities and obligations. Slide(s): 8, 36, 39, 78, 79 Adjusted effective tax rate: Effective tax rate, excluding pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items. Management believes that adjusted tax rate provides stockholders with a meaningful, consistent comparison of the Company's effective tax rate, excluding the pre-tax income and tax effect of certain unique items. Slide(s): 79 Please refer to the supplemental information pack on slides 80 through 98 of this presentation for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Whirlpool cannot provide forward-looking information on certain balance sheet items necessary to reconcile 2024 ROIC to return on assets in a forward-looking quantitative basis without unreasonable effort and expense. Whirlpool does not provide a Non-GAAP reconciliation for its forward-looking 2026 value creation goals, such as organic net sales, ongoing EBIT, free cash flow conversion, ROIC and gross debt leverage, as these long-term management goals are not annual guidance, and the reconciliation of these long-term measures would rely on market factors and certain other conditions and assumptions that are outside of the Company’s control. 5
