The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the S&P MidCap 400 Capital Goods Index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2020 through the end of the listed year in the Company and in the S&P 400 MidCap Capital Goods Index, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.

The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income as required to be reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

We determined Adjusted Operating Profit to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and non-PEO NEOs in 2025. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021. For purposes of this table, we consistently applied the same methodology for calculating Adjusted Operating Profit across all covered fiscal years as used in 2025. Adjusted Operating Profit is a non-GAAP metric. See the “Non-GAAP Information” section below for a detailed description of how Adjusted Operating Profit is calculated from our audited financial statements. For further information on how Adjusted Operating Profit was used in our 2025 Annual Incentive Compensation program, see page 29.

Tabular List, Table    
Financial Performance Measures
As described in greater detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both our long-term and short-term incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing our NEOs to increase the value of our enterprise for our shareholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to the Company’s performance are as follows:
Revenue;
Adjusted Operating Profit;
Adjusted Free Cash Flow; and
Relative Total Shareholder Return.
Revenue, Adjusted Operating Profit and Adjusted Free Cash Flow for bonus calculation purposes under the 2025 Annual Incentive Plan were calculated excluding all revenue earned, costs incurred and free cash flow generated by OpSec Security, which we acquired in May 2024, as well as Corporate costs related to the acquisition. Adjusted Operating Profit and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP metrics. See “Non-GAAP Information” below for a description of how these metrics are calculated. As described in more detail above, in addition to the exclusion of OpSec Security and Corporate costs related to the acquisition, these metrics were further adjusted by the Committee for special, one-time items, none of which were recurring in nature, and for 2025 bonus calculation purposes under the 2025 Annual Incentive Plan, which adjustments may in some cases differ from the adjustments made for financial reporting purposes.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure    
As required by Section  953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item  402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing certain information, including information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid to certain individuals by the Company and certain financial performance of the Company. For further information concerning the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns NEO compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement. The Compensation Committee did not consider the pay versus performance disclosure below in making its pay decisions for any of the years shown. Any differences in total values are due to rounding.
As part of the separation transaction in April 2023, the Aerospace & Electronics, Process Flow Technologies and Engineered Materials businesses of the pre-separation Crane Holdings, Co. were spun off to Crane Company, and the Payment and Merchandising Technologies business was retained by the Company. The disclosure presented below for years prior to 2023 (including Adjusted Operating Profit and net income, but not total shareholder return) is presented on a carve-out basis and does not reflect the combined business on whose performance the NEOs were actually compensated. Also as part of the separation transaction in April 2023, each pre-separation outstanding award held by Mr. Gallo and Ms. Cristiano was converted to an award covering Crane NXT stock and an award covering Crane Company stock. The awards covering Crane Company stock vest based on continued service to Crane NXT. Consequently, such Crane Company stock awards are included as compensation to Mr. Gallo and Ms. Cristiano in this disclosure.

Non-GAAP Measure Description    
(6)
We determined Adjusted Operating Profit to be the most important financial performance measure used to link Company performance to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and non-PEO NEOs in 2025. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for years 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021. For purposes of this table, we consistently applied the same methodology for calculating Adjusted Operating Profit across all covered fiscal years as used in 2025. Adjusted Operating Profit is a non-GAAP metric. See the “Non-GAAP Information” section below for a detailed description of how Adjusted Operating Profit is calculated from our audited financial statements. For further information on how Adjusted Operating Profit was used in our 2025 Annual Incentive Compensation program, see page 29.
