Operating income in Q1 2024 was lower due to several factors. In the **Utility Solutions Segment**, operating income declined from **$177.5 million** in Q1 2023 to **$157.5 million** in Q1 2024 because of **lower unit volume**—notably in the telecom market—and **material cost inflation** that offset improvements from operational productivity. Additionally, increased **amortization of acquisition-related intangibles** and higher **transaction, integration, and separation costs** contributed to the margin contraction.  **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:1]** **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:32]**  The **Electrical Solutions Segment** also experienced a slight decline because of **cost inflation** and **investments in restructuring activities**.  **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:1]** **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:33]**  Furthermore, corporate-level challenges, including a **$5.3 million pre-tax loss** on the sale of the residential lighting business, further reduced overall operating income.  **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:1]** 

Why was Operating Income lower in Q1 2024?

In Q1 2024, the **decline in net income** was driven by several factors. First, Hubbell incurred a **$5.3 million pre-tax loss** from the disposition of its residential lighting business. Second, the company experienced **increased costs** due to material and other cost inflation, which pushed down operating margins from **19.4%** to **16.3%**. Third, there was a significant **rise in interest expense** (from **$9.7 million** to **$21.1 million**) that further impacted profitability. Additionally, **restructuring and related costs** increased substantially (from **$2.5 million** to **$6.5 million**), and weaker performance in the telecom markets negatively affected sales and margins. Collectively, these factors led to the **18.7% decline** in net income, even though some of the negative impacts were partially offset by gains in price realization and operational productivity.  **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:31]** **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:25]** **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:9]** **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:3]** **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:12]** **[HUBB_3381517_1]** 

What drove the decline in Net Income in Q1 2024?

EPS fell significantly in Q1 2024 primarily because the company experienced a marked decline in net income (an **18.7% decrease**, from **$181.9 million to $147.8 million**) driven by several factors. These included **higher interest expense** (rising from **$9.7 million to $21.1 million**) due to increased financing costs associated with acquisitions, a **$5.3 million pre-tax loss** from the disposition of the residential lighting business, and **margin contraction** caused by material and other cost inflation, lower volumes, and increased investments in growth and productivity initiatives. Additionally, the tough year-over-year comparison—stemming from a particularly strong Q1 2023 boosted by favorable price-cost dynamics and pre-destocking conditions—worsened the impact on EPS.  **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:9]** **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:3]** **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:0]** **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:25]** **[HUBB_3381517_3]** **[HUBB_3381517_1]** 

Why did EPS fall significantly in Q1 2024?

The jump in **Interest Expense, Net** in Q1 2024 was primarily caused by the financing of three acquisitions—**Systems Control, Balestro, and EIG**—which had a combined investment value of approximately **$1.25 billion**. This financing, achieved through a mix of debt and cash, led to significantly higher interest expenses.  **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:9]** **[HUBB_3381517_3]**

The spike in short-term debt in Q3 2024 was primarily driven by a significant increase in commercial paper borrowings, which rose from **$100.0 million as of December 31, 2023** to **$274.0 million as of September 30, 2024**. This increase was mainly used to partially fund the Systems Control acquisition. Additionally, the current portion of long-term debt remained unchanged at **$15.0 million**, and there was only a slight decrease in other short-term debt, indicating that the key driver of the change was the rise in commercial paper borrowings.  **[0001628280-24-044201_hubb-20240930.htm:47]** **[0001628280-24-044201_hubb-20240930.htm:24]** 

Why did short-term debt spike in Q3 2024?

The significant drop in long-term debt in Q4 2024 was primarily driven by the **repayment of the Term Loan Agreement**. The company had borrowed **$600 million** in December 2023 to finance the acquisition of Systems Control, and it repaid the remaining balance during Q4 2024, which resulted in a reduction in long-term debt from **$2,023.2 million** at the end of 2023 to **$1,442.7 million** at the end of 2024.  **[0001628280-25-005311_hubb-20241231.htm:102]** **[0001628280-25-005311_hubb-20241231.htm:44]** 

Why did long-term debt drop so significantly in Q4 2024?

The decline in total assets in Q4 2024 was primarily due to a few key factors. **Goodwill** decreased by **$32.6 million** and **other intangible assets** declined by **$116.0 million**, which significantly impacted the overall asset base. In addition, **accounts receivable** fell by **$29.4 million** and the elimination of **assets held for sale** (from **$162.4 million** to **$0**) further contributed to the reduction. Although there was an increase in **property, plant, and equipment** by **$74.0 million** and a slight rise in **other current assets**, these offsets were not enough to counterbalance the declines, leading to a net drop of **$234.9 million** in total assets.  **[0001628280-25-005311_hubb-20241231.htm:68]** 

What led to the decline in total assets in Q4 2024?

The drop in **cash** in Q4 2024 was driven by a mix of factors. Despite improved cash generation from operating activities (net cash of **$432 million** in Q4 2024 compared to **$346 million** in the same period of 2023), the overall decline was largely due to significant **cash outflows in financing activities** totaling **$923.4 million**—reflecting the extinguishment of a term loan, increased dividends, and higher share repurchases. Additionally, **investing activities** impacted the cash position, with the company using much less cash on investing (only **$59.1 million** due in part to a **$122.9 million** cash receipt from the disposition of its residential lighting business) compared to the previous period, and there was also an unfavorable **foreign currency exchange** impact of **$16.4 million**. Collectively, these factors contributed to a reduction in cash from **$336.1 million** at the beginning of the year to **$329.1 million** at the end of Q4 2024.  **[0001628280-25-003586_exhibit991_02042025.htm:1]** **[0001628280-25-005311_hubb-20241231.htm:42]** **[0001628280-25-005311_hubb-20241231.htm:68]**

Operating cash flow was lower in Q1 2024 primarily because **net income decreased** from **$181.9 million** to **$147.8 million**.  **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:10]** **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:9]**  This decline was compounded by **increased cash payments for employee incentives** and adverse working capital changes, including a larger negative change in **accounts receivable** (from **-$36.6 million** in Q1 2023 to **-$84.6 million** in Q1 2024) and a greater reduction in **current liabilities** (from **-$54.4 million** down to **-$92.9 million**).  **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:10]** **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:4]**  These factors, although partially offset by higher **depreciation and amortization expenses** (increasing from **$35.6 million** to **$59.9 million**), resulted in a lower operating cash flow in Q1 2024.  **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:10]** **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:4]** 

Why was Operating Cash Flow lower in Q1 2024?

In Q4 2024, the jump in operating cash flow was driven by **higher net income** (an increase from **$171 million** to **$197 million**) which generated stronger cash flow, **improved non-cash adjustments** such as higher depreciation and amortization expenses, more effective **working capital management**, and robust **operational execution** through initiatives like price/cost productivity improvements and business simplification.  **[0001628280-25-003586_exhibit991_02042025.htm:11]** **[0001628280-25-005311_hubb-20241231.htm:69]** **[0001628280-25-003586_exhibit991_02042025.htm:1]** **[0001628280-25-003586_exhibit991_02042025.htm:0]** 

What drove the jump in Operating Cash Flow in Q4 2024?

The significant shift to a positive investing activities cash flow in Q1 2024 was primarily driven by **proceeds from the sale of the residential lighting business**, which provided **$122.9 million** in cash, and by ongoing **capital expenditures totaling $40.3 million** to support footprint optimization, automation, and productivity initiatives. These factors combined to reverse the negative trend seen in Q1 2023, turning it positive in Q1 2024.  **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:34]** **[0001628280-24-019474_hubb-20240331.htm:4]** **[0001628280-24-019191_exhibit991_04302024.htm:10]**
