FEBRUARY 2026 PRESENTATION APPENDIXThe Gorman-Rupp Company Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial data and measures such as adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted earnings is earnings excluding the write-off of unamortized previously deferred debt financing fees, refinancing costs, facility optimization costs and non-cash pension settlement charges. Adjusted earnings per share is earnings per share excluding the write-off of unamortized previously deferred debt financing fees per share, refinancing costs per share, facility optimization costs per share, and non-cash pension settlement charges per share. Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the write-off of unamortized previously deferred debt financing fees, refinancing costs, facility optimization costs, non-cash pension settlement charges, and non-cash LIFO expense. Management utilizes these adjusted financial data and measures to assess comparative operations against those of prior periods without the distortion of non-comparable factors. The inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which the Company has made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. Further, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The Gorman-Rupp Company believes that these non-GAAP financial data and measures also will be useful to investors in assessing the strength of the Company’s underlying operations and liquidity from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Provided later in this presentation is a reconciliation of adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and Adjusted EBITDA to their corresponding GAAP financial measures, which includes a description of actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period. 50
