Commentary:

“We generated strong revenue growth of 14.6 percent and record non-GAAP EPS of $0.86 this quarter.Our strong sales growth was primarily driven by our Identification Solutions division which had total sales growth of 21.1 percent this quarter.We’ve been working to enhance our product offering and the three acquisitions we completed last year are contributing to this, while also helping shift Brady into faster-growing end markets,” said Brady’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Russell R. Shaller.“In our Workplace Safety division, we took actions to reposition our product offering, to deemphasize certain under-performing businesses, and to streamline our cost structure.These actions have been very positive resulting in the increase in Workplace Safety segment profit this quarter.As a result of our ongoing efficiency activities and pricing actions, we experienced a sequential

improvement in our gross profit margin of 140 basis points from 47.0 percent for the quarter ended January 31, 2022, to 48.4 percent for the quarter ended April 30, 2022.Overall, Brady is performing at a high level with strong sales growth, record EPS and a strong foundation, which we believe sets the stage for positive future results.”

“Not only did we have strong revenue growth and record EPS this quarter, we also used our strong cash generation to return funds to our shareholders in the form of share repurchases and continuing dividends.This quarter, we repurchased 1.4 million shares for $63.2 million and subsequent to quarter end, we repurchased another 0.2 million shares for $9.3 million,” said Brady’s Chief Financial Officer, Aaron Pearce.“Even after returning nearly $75 million to our shareholders in the form of dividends and buybacks, we still reduced our external borrowing this quarter and are in a net cash position.The macro environment continues to be highly uncertain, but we believe that we are well-positioned as we have built up inventory levels to ensure a steady supply of products to our customers and we are in a net cash position of $26.1 million at April 30, 2022, which provides many strategic alternatives to drive future shareholder value.”

Share Buyback Program:

Prior to May 24, 2022, the Company completed its previously authorized share repurchase program.On May 24, 2022, Brady’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $100 million of Class A Common Stock for repurchase under the Company’s share buyback program. The share buyback plan may be implemented from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions and has no expiration date.

Fiscal 2022 Guidance:

The Company’s earnings per diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share on a GAAP basis was adjusted to a range of $2.83 to $2.92 per share, and earnings per diluted Class A Nonvoting Common Share, Excluding Certain Items* guidance was increased to a range of $3.08 to $3.17 per share, for the year ending July 31, 2022.This implies that we expect Diluted EPS Excluding Certain Items* to improve by 12% to 15% for the full year ending July 31, 2022 when compared to the adjusted fiscal 2021 diluted earnings per share of $2.75.Also included in our full-year fiscal 2022 guidance are a full-year income tax rate of approximately 21 percent and depreciation and amortization expense ranging from $34 million to $36 million.Capital expenditures, excluding facility purchases are expected to range from $20 million to $25 million during the year ending July 31, 2022.The Company’s fiscal 2022 guidance is based on foreign currency exchange rates as of April 30, 2022 and assumes continued economic growth.

These uncertainties may cause Brady's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements. Brady does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

In accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G, the following provides definitions of the non-GAAP measures used in the earnings release and the reconciliation to the most closely related GAAP measure.

Income Before Income Taxes Excluding Certain Items:

F’22 Q3 Financial Results Brady Corporation May 26, 2022

Forward-Looking Statements In this presentation, statements that are not reported financial results or other historic information are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company's future financial position, business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs, earnings, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans and objectives of management for future operations. The use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “project,” “continue” or “plan” or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond Brady’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For Brady, uncertainties arise from: adverse impacts of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic or other pandemics; decreased demand for our products; our ability to compete effectively or to successfully execute our strategy; increased cost of raw materials, labor and freight as well as raw material shortages; Brady’s ability to develop technologically advanced products that meet customer demands; Brady’s ability to properly identify, integrate, and grow acquired companies, and to manage contingent liabilities from divested businesses; difficulties in protecting our websites, networks, and systems against security breaches; risks associated with the loss of key employees; extensive regulations by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and self-regulatory entities; litigation, including product liability claims; foreign currency fluctuations; potential write-offs of goodwill and other intangible assets; changes in tax legislation and tax rates; differing interests of voting and non-voting shareholders; numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including major public health crises and government responses thereto and those of a political, economic, business, competitive, and regulatory nature contained from time to time in Brady’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Part I of Brady’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2021 and in any subsequent filings on Form 10-Q. These uncertainties may cause Brady's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward- looking statements. Brady does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law. 2
