Table of Contents PART I Item 1. Business. Overview We are a leading provider of industrial products and services that support critical and complex customer missions across a range of niche applications. Our current operations span firefighting products, lubricant additives, electronic components and, following the acquisition of Medical Manufacturing Technologies, LLC (“MMT”) in January 2026, highly engineered machinery for the medical device industry. We develop products that address complex customer challenges where there is little margin for error. Our offerings are typically a small part of a much broader solution that serves a growing end market. Our goal is to meet customer needs better than any alternative in every market we serve. We aim to maximize our organic reinvestment into our business to best serve our customers and to support the rigorousapplication of our Operational Value Drivers: seeking out profitable new business, structurally improving operational productivity, and sharing in value creation through value-based pricing. These Operational Value Drivers are overseen by general managers that operate in our decentralized operating structure. These managers have full operational autonomy paired with accountability to deliver results for customers and stockholders, with strong alignment between compensation and results. We believe our Operational Value Drivers maximize our free cash flow. We then seek to maximize long-term per share equity value through a clear focus on the allocation of our capital as well as the management of our capital structure. We expect the combination of free cash flow and incremental borrowing capacity generates substantial capital available to allocate. We believe our capital allocation strategy, which prioritizes first high-return organic reinvestment opportunities, followed by opportunistic share repurchases, and finally the acquisition of new businesses, is a critical factor in achieving Perimeter’s dual purposes: serving our customers well while delivering private-equity-like stockholder returns. We conduct our operations globally, with approximately 76% of our annual revenues derived in the United States, approximately 10% in Europe and approximately 7% in Canada, with the remaining approximately 7% spread across various other countries. Our long ‑ term vision is to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality industrial businesses via re-investment in organic growth and further acquisitions. Whether built organically or acquired, we intend to apply our strategy centered on decentralized management, our Operational Value Drivers, and thoughtful capital allocation to ensure we serve our customers well while delivering on our returns promise to stockholders. Segments Our business is organized and managed in two reporting segments: Fire Safety and Specialty Products. Fire Safety Segment The Fire Safety Segment includes the manufacture and sale of fire retardants and fire suppressants, together with related equipment and services, used in wildfire, industrial and structural firefighting operations. Our fire retardants help slow, stop and prevent wildfires by chemically altering fuels (e.g., vegetation) and rendering them non- flammable. Fire retardant is typically applied ahead of an active wildland fire to stop or slow its spread, in order to allow ground-based firefighters to safely extinguish the fire. Retardants can be applied aerially via fixed or rotor wing aircraft, or by ground using standard fire engines, specialized rail cars, or our dedicated ground-applied retardant units. All of our products have a high level of retardant effectiveness, with specific stock keeping units or SKUs, differing in visibility, viscosity, adherence to vegetation, and persistence through weathering. Our fire retardant customers are typically government agencies with responsibility for protecting both government and private land, although we also serve a diverse range of commercial customers. We supply federal, state, provincial, local/municipal, and commercial customers around the world. We are a leading supplier of fire retardants listed on the USDA Forest Service Qualified Products List, which is a leading global benchmark for ensuring fire retardant is effective, safe and environmentally friendly. We also offer a broad range of equipment and services to support fire retardant operations. Our equipment and services are typically purchased and used in conjunction with our fire retardants and are often priced together as a single 7
Page 8
Table of Contents bundled offering. Custom equipment includes specialized airbase retardant storage, mixing, and delivery equipment; mobile retardant bases; and retardant ground application units. We also have the capability to design and manufacture custom equipment that operates at high throughput and reliability levels, including equipment used to support emergency airtanker base and ground crew operations. Custom services include design, construction, and installation of specialized air base retardant equipment, management and staffing of air base retardant operations, and management of air base supply and replenishment services. We have a broad service capability footprint, with full-service operations at approximately 60 United States and Canadian air bases, and equipment at over 100 bases globally. Our fire suppressants primarily consist of Class B firefighting foams, which are used to suppress flammable and combustible liquid fires. Class B foams form a rapid, stable blanket that prevents ignition and are used primarily by industrial customers with significant hydrocarbon exposure, including petrochemical facilities, airports, military installations, and other industrial sites. We also produce Class A, Class A/B, and training foams, which serve structural/wildland, municipal, and training applications, respectively. We complement our fire suppressants with custom equipment and operational services, including foam delivery systems, mixing and proportioning equipment, and installation and support services that enhance customer readiness. Specialty Products Segment Our Specialty Products Segment develops, produces and markets products for non-fire safety markets. The Specialty ProductsSegment includes Phosphorus Derivatives, Inc., which produces Phosphorus Pentasulfide (“PS”) based lubricant additives. PS is also used in pesticide and mining chemicals applications, and emerging electric battery technologies. The Specialty Products segment also includes Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions (“IMS”), which is a manufacturer of electronic or electro-mechanical components of larger solutions. IMS has a flexible, vertically integrated production facility that allows it to acquire and produce a variety of product lines across a range of end markets, including communications infrastructure, energy infrastructure, defense systems, and industrial systems, with a substantial focus on aftermarket repair and replacement. We completed the acquisition of MMT in January 2026, and we expect that MMT will be part of our Specialty Products Segment. MMT provides highly engineered machinery and associated aftermarket consumables, parts, and services to support the production of complex medical devices as well as select highly engineered industrial and aerospace and defense use cases. MMT’s capabilities include original equipment manufacturing, including application-specific equipment and automation solutions for medical devices such as complex catheters, guidewires and microcoils, as well as aftermarket parts, services, and consumables. MMT’s full solution suite encompasses both original machinery and recurring aftermarket parts, services, and consumables. MMT has a global footprint of manufacturing locations serving approximately 50 countries. Industry and Demand Trends Fire Safety Segment The effective prevention, mitigation, and suppression of fires, including wildland, structural, and other types of fires, protects lives, homes and critical infrastructure while reducing harmful air quality levels caused by wildfire smoke and the release of CO ₂ emissions into the environment. Fire Safety products are mission critical and held to the highest quality standards given the extreme cost of failure. Key trends in the Fire Safety industry include: • Higher acres burned and longer fire seasons: The USDA Forest Service data of the last 40 years shows that the acreage burnedin the United States has increased over time. The ten-year trailing average of acres burned in the United States has increased from a ten-year trailing average of 3.3 million acres burned in 1997, to a ten-year trailing average of 7.0 million acres burned in 2025.The U.S. fire season is also lengthening on a consistent basis. According to a 2024 report published by U.S. Department ofAgriculture, the U.S. fire season is on average 78 days longer than it was in the 1970s. If acreage burned continues to increase and the fire season continues to lengthen, we expect the demand and usage of fire retardant to increase. In addition, proactiveinitial attack strategies by government agencies can drive earlier and more consistent use of fire retardant throughout the fireseason. • Increasing wildland urban interfaces: Urban development is pushing farther out of cities and into the wilderness for both primary and secondary residences. As of 2020, the Wildland-Urban Interface (“WUI”) now includes 32% of all homes in theUnited States although it occupies 9.4% of the land area in the United States. According to Proceedings of the National Academyof Sciences of the United States of America, when homes are built in the 2 5 2 5 8
Page 9
Table of Contents WUI, we expect that there will be more wildfires due to human ignitions, and wildfires that occur will pose a greater risk to livesand homes. As the WUI expands and the number of homes at risk from wildland fires increases, we expect the use of retardant to protect property and life from threatening wildfires to increase. • Increasing firefighting aircraft capacity and usage: The size and capacity of the firefighting aircraft fleet is a key driver of theamount of fire retardant consumed annually because demand for retardant typically outpaces available aircraft capacity, asevidenced by data regarding the inability to fill aerial firefighting requests published by the National Interagency Fire Center. Since 2010, U.S. aircraft capacity increased significantly and is expected to further increase. Increasing air tanker capacity andmodernization is a global trend, with more, larger, and more sophisticated tankers being used in various parts of the world. • Move toward Fluorine Free Firefighting Foams: There is an accelerating transition in the fire suppression market towardsproducts that do not contain intentionally added Per- and polyfluoroalkyl (“PFAS”) substances. We expect Fluorine-Free Foams (“FFF”) to account for a growing percentage of the firefighting foam market over the next several years. We believe that we are aleader in the FFF market. Specialty Products Segment PS is primarily used in the preparation of lubricant additives. The consumption of lubricant additives is driven by the social and economic trends globally of increased vehicle production and miles driven. The number of global miles driven has generally increased over time resulting in more engine wear and tear and increased demand for motor oil. Secondary markets for PS include agricultural applications in the production of intermediates for pesticides and insecticides, flotation chemistry in the mining industry, for certain battery technologies, and for hydraulic and cutting fluids. IMS demand is primarily driven by recurring aftermarket repair and replacement needs for installed systems across its end markets. Comprehensive Product Offering We are a full-service turnkey supplier to many of our key customers. In the Fire Safety segment, in addition to providing fire retardant, we also design, manufacture, install, maintain, and operate specialized air base equipment including storage, mixing and loading equipment, as well as the air base management and training services necessary for land and aerial wildland firefighting. Our supply chain network also provides a critical service to our customers – we are able to deliver retardant within hours to over 150 air tanker bases in North America, often in emergency situations as our customers are fighting active and threatening wildfires. In the Specialty Products Segment, our competitive advantages include our long-standing record of reliability and customer support, our global supply capability for critical, high quality raw materials, our ownership of intellectual property necessary to produce proprietary components, our technology leadership in manufacturing technologies, and our technical expertise to handle and transport varied products and manage complex logistics. Value-Based and Dynamic Pricing Model Protects Attractive Margins We believe that our comprehensive and closely intertwined product, equipment, and service offerings provides tremendous value to our customers and serves as an important differentiator. Furthermore, we structure tiered pricing, availability pricing and annual pricing escalators with key customers, allowing the business to cover a portion of certain fixed costs in lower-volume years and protect margins over time. Manufacturing Capabilities Fire Safety Our primary fire retardant production facilities are located in McClellan Park and Rancho Cucamonga, California. The McClellan Park location was opened in 2025 and serves as a major hub for production and distribution, supporting our ability to deliver fire retardant to airbases in North America within hours. Additionally, we have fire retardant production capability at two Canadian plants: one in Kamloops, British Columbia and the other in Sturgeon County, Alberta. Our production facility in Aix-En-Provence, France, provides fire retardant to our customers across Europe and the Middle East, while our New South Wales, Australia, facility serves our customers in Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region. We also utilize third party manufacturing locations in Moreland, Idaho and in Pasco, Washington. These facilities are located in close proximity to major USDA Forest Service air bases in the Northwest. We utilize other tolling and warehouse facilities in strategic locations throughout North America to facilitate rapid shipment of products to our customers. 2 5 2 5 9
Page 10
Table of Contents We produce firefighting foam products in Green Bay, Wisconsin and Mieres, Spain. Both facilities have significant research and development capabilities and live fire testing capabilities. We have equipment manufacturing capabilities at our Post Falls, Idaho facility as well as at our tolling facility in Port Arthur, Texas. Specialty Products As of December 31, 2025, we had three key Specialty Products production facilities. One is a tolling facility in Sauget, Illinois, operated by Flexsys Chemical Company, that primarily serves our PS customers in North America. The second facility, operated by Perimeter, is located in Knapsack Chemical Park in Hurth, Germany, and serves our PS customers outside of North America. The third facility, also Perimeter-operated, is located in Londonderry, New Hampshire and manufactures electronic or electro-mechanical components of larger solutions. With the acquisition of MMT in January 2026, we added an additional 14 manufacturing locations which serve customers in approximately 50 countries. Intellectual Property Portfolio Our intellectual property rights are valuable and important to our business, and we rely on copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements and electronic and physical security measures to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We intend to continue to pursue additional intellectual property protection on product and equipment enhancements to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective. As of December 31, 2025, our intellectual property portfolio consisted of the following: • for the Fire Safety Segment, 38 owned U.S. patents, of which we expect 2 to expire in 5 years or less and 36 to expire in more than 5 years, and 49 owned foreign counterpart patents in certain foreign jurisdictions, of which we expect 25 to expire in 5 years or less and 24 to expire in more than 5 years, and • for the Specialty Products Segment, 5 owned U.S. patents and 5 owned foreign counterpart patents, which we expect to expire in 10 or more years. With the acquisition of MMT in January 2026, we added an additional 11 owned U.S. patents, of which we expect 3 to expire in 5 years or less and 8 to expire in more than 5 years, and 7 owned foreign counterpart patents, which we expect to expire in 10 or more years. Our patent portfolio covers approximately 19 countries and supports technologies and products across our businesses. Substantially all of our patents and trademarks are registered or pending approval with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and in select international offices. Sales and Marketing Consistent with our overall strategy, our sales and marketing efforts aim to continually develop technical solutions that meet customer needs. We have structured our sales efforts in accordance with our business units, which, in turn, align around our key product offerings and geographies. Each business unit has a business unit manager who is responsible for achieving targeted financial and operational results, including the business unit’s sales and marketing efforts. Customers Our customers vary by solution, with minimal overlap between the customer bases for each business. Fire Safety Fire retardant customers are largely government agencies, with responsibility for protecting both government and private land. We supply federal, state, provincial, local/municipal, and commercial customers around the world. We work diligently to build relationships with our customers and stakeholders, and we develop and enhance products and solutions in a highly collaborative manner with our key customers and stakeholders. We provide our retardants in various colors, forms (i.e., liquid or powder concentrates) and for various delivery methods (i.e., fixed wing aircraft, rotor wing aircraft, ground applied, etc.). We expect the demand for our retardant products, equipment, and services to grow, and we expect to continue to foster responsive and collaborative relationships with existing and potential customers and stakeholders. 2 5 2 5 10

Table of Contents Our Class B foam customers primarily consist of industrial, aviation, and military customers which store and utilize flammable liquids on-site. Our Class A foam customers primarily consist of local fire departments and state wildland agencies, which utilize our products for wildland and structural firefighting. Our customers in the market for Class A/B foam primarily consist of municipal fire departments. We utilize a traditional sales force in marketing these products and seek to build lasting relationships with our customers. Specialty Products Our Specialty Products Segment serves several key global customers in the lubricant additives, agricultural, mineral extraction, emerging electric battery technologies, communications infrastructure, energy infrastructure, defense systems, industrial systems and other various markets, and with the acquisition of MMT, the medical device industry. Our focus is on maintaining our existing customers, expanding their utilization of our products and services, growing our business in the emerging technologies markets and growth through business acquisitions. Significant Customers For fiscal year 2025, our two largest customers, the USDA Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management accounted for 32% and 11%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues. No other customer individually represented more than 10% of our 2025 consolidated revenues. This customer concentration makes us subject to the risk of nonpayment, nonperformance, re-negotiation of terms or non-renewal by these major customers under our commercial agreements. As a supplier and service provider to the U.S. government, we are subject to certain heightened risks, such as those associated with the government’s rights to audit and conduct investigations and with its rights to terminate contracts for convenience or default. The loss of these customers would likely have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows. In September 2025, we entered into a five-year agreement covering products and services provided to the USDA Forest Service and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management by our Fire Safety Segment. Competition Fire Safety The fire retardant business is characterized by its highly specialized nature, its high cost-of-failure, and the integrated nature of the offering across products, specialized equipment, and services. As a result, development and testing of products, and the approval and licensing of such products, is typically a complex and lengthy process. Our retardant products compete with similar solutions, including gels, foams, and water, in addition to numerous global and domestic retardant competitors. We plan to maintain our industry leadership position through continued investments in innovation and research and development focused on improving, enhancing and customizing our fire retardant products and services on behalf of our customers. The market for our firefighting foam products is highly fragmented, and subject to intense competition from various manufacturers launching their own competing products. We compete with a variety of firms that offer similar products and services. We compete for clients based on the quality of our products, the regulatory approvals and listings of our products, the quality and breadth of the equipment and services we offer in conjunction with our products, the regulatory approvals and listings of our products, the quality and knowledge base of our employees, the geographic reach of our products and services, and pricing of our product. We believe that we offer our customers an attractive value proposition based on these competitive factors, which allows us to compete effectively in the marketplace. Certain of our foam products have received U.S. Department of Defense military specification (“MIL-SPEC”) qualifications, which we believe provide a competitive advantage in military and airport emergency response applications. Specialty Products Our Specialty Products Segment is primarily focused on the North American and European markets, with a smaller focus in Asia and South America. In each of North America and Europe, we have one primary, local competitor for PS, as well as competition from imported Asian sources. Competitive factors for our PS business include the quality of our products, our reliability and consistency as a supplier, our ability to innovate and be highly responsive to our customers’ needs, and the pricing of our products. IMS and MMT produce highly specialized machinery, parts, and components that are integrated into customers’ broader systems and workflows. Competitive factors include product quality, reliability, consistency of supply, responsiveness to customer needs, delivery times, service support, pricing and 2 5 2 5 11

Table of Contents adherence to required specifications, which are often heavily regulated and often critical to customers’ continuity of operations. Seasonality Sales in our Fire Safety segment, of which approximately 87% are in North America, are subject to seasonal variation due to the length and the severity of the fire season, which in North America typically extends from April through September, as well as the availability of air tanker capacity. Consequently, we record a significant portion of our sales in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year. Regulatory and Environmental, Health and Safety We are subject to extensive federal, state, local and international laws, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to safety, pollution, protection of the environment, product management and distribution, and the generation, storage, handling, transportation, treatment, disposal and remediation of waste materials. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to frequent environmental inspections and monitoring and occasional investigations by governmental enforcement authorities. In addition, our production facilities require operating permits that are subject to renewal, modification and, in certain circumstances, revocation. We maintain Environmental, Health and Safety Systems ("EHS") policies and management systems designed to support compliance with applicable requirements, including procedures for monitoring and training. Safety is an important part of our operating model, and we maintain programs designed to identify and manage process safety and other workplace hazards, including facility procedures and employee training. For MMT, while it does not manufacture finished medical devices or engage in activities subject to FDA establishment registration or device listing requirements, its customers are regulated medical device manufacturers. These customers may require MMT to comply with certain quality management and manufacturing standards, such as FDA and ISO quality system regulations, to support their own regulatory compliance. Human Capital Management Employees As of December 31, 2025, we had 356 full-time employees and 15 temporary, seasonal or part-time employees worldwide. Other than 25 employees in Europe represented by a works council, none of our employees are represented by a labor union. We have not experienced any employment-related work stoppages, and we consider relations with our employees to be satisfactory. With the acquisition of MMT in January 2026, we added an additional 356 full-time employees and 9 temporary, seasonal or part-time employees. Talent Development We consider our employees to be our most valuable asset. The development, attraction and retention of employees is a critical success factor. To support the advancement of our employees, we offer training and development programs encouraging advancement from within and continue to fill our team with strong and experienced management talent. Benefits We offer attractive benefits packages that attract, retain, motivate and reward our talent, and we are committed to providing our employees and their families with programs that support their health and overall well-being. To assist employees with financial empowerment, we offer a 401(k) program. We also offer employees the ability to save money on a tax-free basis through flexible spending accounts and health savings accounts. We offer competitive compensation programs that include base pay, bonus and equity grants. Our full-time employees also receive paid time off and holidays. Our equity compensation plans are designed to assist in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding key employees and directors, and promote the creation of long-term value for our stockholders by closely aligning the interests of these individuals with those of our stockholders. Equity compensation, and specifically performance-based stock options, is a significant component of our equity- based compensation strategy and value-based culture. 12

Redomiciliation Transaction Prior to November 20, 2024, we were a public limited liability company duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 28, Boulevard F.W. Raiffeisen, L-2411 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés, Luxembourg) under number B 256.548 (“Perimeter Luxembourg”). On November 20, 2024, we consummated the conversion (the “Redomiciliation Transaction” or “domestication”) of Perimeter Luxembourg into a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, after which Perimeter Luxembourg continues as an entity under the name “Perimeter Solutions, Inc.” The domestication was completed in accordance with articles 100-2, 100-3 and 1300-2 of the Luxembourg law dated August 10, 1915 on commercial companies, as amended (the “Luxembourg Company Law”), the procedures of article 450-3 et seq. of the Luxembourg Company Law, and the domestication procedures of Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), pursuant to which the Company continued its legal existence in Delaware as if Perimeter Luxembourg had originally been incorporated under Delaware law. Upon consummation of the Redomiciliation Transaction, each of Perimeter Luxembourg’s (i) ordinary shares, with a nominal value of $1.00 per share (the “Lux Ordinary Shares”) and (ii) redeemable preferred shares, with a nominal value of $10.00 each (the “Lux Preferred Shares”), automatically converted by operation of law on a one-for-one basis into (i) shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) shares of preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), respectively, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). Our Common Stock continues to be listed for trading under symbol “PRM” on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), which is the same trading symbol as the Lux Ordinary Shares traded under prior to the Redomiciliation Transaction. As a result of the Redomiciliation Transaction, the Company became the successor issuer to Perimeter Luxembourg pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Upon consummation of the Redomiciliation Transaction, the CUSIP number relating to the Company’s Common Stock was changed to 71385M107.

Table of Contents Item 1A. Risk Factors. Investing in our Common Stock involves significant risks, some of which are described below. In evaluating our business, investors should carefully consider the following risk factors. These risk factors contain, in addition to historical information, forward- looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below. The occurrence of any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline, perhaps significantly, and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment. Risks Related to Our Business and Industry The demand for our products is impacted by a number of factors outside of our control. Our end markets experience constantly changing demand depending on a number of factors that are out of our control. In our fire retardant business, demand is dependent on the occurrence of fires, which are seasonal and dependent on environmental and other factors. Changes in the geographic location, occurrence, severity and duration of fires may change demand for our fire retardant products. Seasonality in the fire retardant end market could periodically result in higher or lower levels of revenue and revenue concentration with a single or small number of customers. If we experience a low fire season, the WUI does not continue to expand or if FFF do not continue to account for a growing percentage of the firefighting foam market in the coming years as we expect, this could materially and adversely affect our business. In our specialty products segment, we supply PS which is primarily used in the lubricant additives market to produce a critical compound in lubricating oils. As more electric vehicles emerge on the automobile market, use of the internal combustion engine may decline, thereby lessening demand for some of our specialty products. In our newly acquired medical manufacturing business (the “MMT Business”), demand for our machinery, parts, and consumables may be impacted by end user demand for medical procedures involving catheters and guidewires, new medical device launch cadence by our customers, and for engineered machinery, capital investment plans by medical device manufacturers. Our inability to offset the volatility of these end markets through diversification into other markets, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. A small number of customers represent a significant portion of our revenue, and a loss of one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In our fire safety segment, a small number of customers represent a significant portion of our revenue. A certain number of contracts with these customers are on an on-demand, as-needed basis, and there are no guaranteed minimums included in such contracts. In other cases, manufacturing disruptions at customer sites can significantly decrease customer demand. Because of the concentrated nature of our customer base and contract terms applicable to such customers, our quarterly revenue and results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and are difficult to estimate. In addition, any cancellation of orders or any acceleration or delay in anticipated product purchases by our larger customers could materially affect our revenue and results of operations in any quarterly period. We may be unable to sustain or increase our revenue from our larger customers or offset any discontinuation or decrease of purchases by our larger customers with purchases by new or other existing customers. To the extent one or more of our larger customers experience significant financial difficulty, bankruptcy or insolvency, this could have a material adverse effect on our sales and our ability to collect on receivables, which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, certain customers, including some of our larger customers, have negotiated, or may in the future negotiate, volume-based discounts or other more favorable terms from us, which can and have had a negative effect on our gross margins or revenue. We expect that such concentrated purchases will continue to contribute materially to our revenue for the foreseeable future and that our results of operations may fluctuate materially as a result of such larger customers’ buying patterns. We are dependent on sales to the USDA Forest Service, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the state of California, which account for a substantial portion of our revenue related to our Fire Safety segment. Sales to the USDA Forest Service, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the state of California represent a substantial portion of our revenues, and this concentration of our sales makes us substantially dependent on those customers. This customer concentration makes us subject to the risk of nonpayment, nonperformance, re-negotiation of terms or non-renewal by these major customers under our commercial agreements. If the USDA Forest Service, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and/or the state of California reduce their spend on our fire retardant products, we may 2 5 14
Page 15
Table of Contents experience a reduction in revenue and may not be able to sustain profitability, and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed. As a supplier and service provider to the U.S. government, we are subject to certain heightened risks, such as those associated with the government’s rights to audit and conduct investigations and with its rights to terminate contracts for convenience or default. As a supplier and service provider to the U.S. government, we are subject to certain heightened risks, such as those associated with the government’s rights to audit and conduct investigations and with its rights to terminate contracts for convenience or default. We may in the future be the subject of U.S. government investigations relating to our U.S. government contracts. Such investigations often take years to complete and could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines, treble and other damages, forfeitures, restitution or penalties, or could lead to suspension or debarment of U.S. government contracting or of export privileges. For instance, if a business unit were charged with wrongdoing in connection with a U.S. government investigation (including fraud, or violation of certain environmental or export laws), the U.S. government could suspend us from bidding on or receiving awards of new U.S. government contracts or subcontracts. If convicted or found liable, the U.S. government could fine and debar us from receiving new awards for a period generally not to exceed three years and could void any contracts found to be tainted by fraud. We also could suffer reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us, even if such allegations are later determined to be unsubstantiated. Some of our sales are to foreign buyers, which exposes us to additional risks such as foreign political, foreign exchange, economic and regulatory risks. We derive a portion of our revenues from customers located in foreign countries. The amount of our foreign sales may increase in the future. The additional risks of foreign sales include: potential adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and currency hyperinflation; higher credit risks; restrictive trade policies of the U.S. or foreign governments; compliance risk related to local rules and regulations; and political and economic instability in foreign markets. Some or all of these risks may negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are subject to risks from changes to trade policies, tariffs and import/export regulations by the U.S. and/or other foreign governments. Changes in the import and export policies, including trade restrictions, new or increased tariffs or quotas, embargoes, sanctions and counter sanctions, safeguards or customs restrictions by the U.S. and/or other foreign governments, could require us to change the way we conduct business and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, reputation and our relationships with customers and suppliers. Changes in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the countries where we currently conduct business could adversely affect our business. Production interruptions or shutdowns could increase our operating or capital expenditures or negatively impact the supply of products resulting in reduced sales. Manufacturing of our specialty products, including products manufactured by our MMT Business, and fire retardant products is concentrated at certain facilities. In the event of a significant manufacturing difficulty, disruption or delay, we may not be able to develop alternate or secondary manufacturing locations without incurring material additional costs and substantial delays. Furthermore, these risks could materially and adversely affect our business if our facilities are impacted by a natural disaster or other interruption at a particular location. Transferring manufacturing to another location may result in significant delays in the availability of our products. As a result, protracted regional crises, or issues with manufacturing facilities could lead to eventual shortages of necessary components. It could be difficult or impossible, costly and time consuming to obtain alternative sources for these components, or to change products to make use of alternative components. In addition, difficulties in transitioning from an existing supplier to a new supplier could create delays in component availability that would have a significant impact on our ability to fulfill orders for our products. Our profitability is also sensitive to changes in product prices caused by changes in supply, transportation and storage capacity or other market conditions. Market, weather or other conditions beyond our control may disrupt our expected supply of product, and we may be required to obtain supply at increased prices that cannot be passed through to our customers. 15
Page 16
Table of Contents Risks from the improper conduct of, or use of our products by, employees, agents, government contractors, or collaborators could adversely affect our reputation as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations. Unapproved or improper use of our products, or inadequate disclosure of risks or other information relating to the use of our products can lead to injury or other serious adverse events. These events could lead to recalls or safety alerts relating to our products (either voluntary or as required by governmental authorities), and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of a product from the market. A recall could result in significant costs and lost sales and customers, enforcement actions and/or investigations by state and federal governments or other enforcement bodies, as well as negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce future demand for our products. Personal injuries relating to the use of our products can also result in significant product liability claims being brought against us. We cannot ensure that our compliance controls, policies, and procedures will in every instance protect us from acts committed by our employees, agents, contractors, service providers or collaborators that would violate the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including, without limitation, employment, foreign corrupt practices, trade restrictions and sanctions, environmental, competition, and privacy laws and regulations. Such improper actions could subject us to civil or criminal investigations, and monetary and injunctive penalties, and could adversely impact our reputation as well as our business, financial condition and results of operations. The operation of manufacturing plants involves many risks, including suspension of operations and increased costs or requirements stemming from new government statutes, regulations, guidelines and policies, including evolving environmental regulations. The operation of manufacturing plants involves many risks, including suspension of operations and increased costs or requirements stemming from new government statutes, regulations, guidelines and policies, including evolving environmental regulations. We need environmental and operational registrations, licenses, permits, inspections and other approvals to operate. The loss or delay in receiving a significant permit or license or the inability to renew it and any loss or interruption of the operations of our facilities may harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. We rely on third-party logistics suppliers for the distribution, storage and transportation of raw materials, operating supplies and products. We rely on third-party logistics suppliers for the distribution, storage and transportation of raw materials, operating supplies and products. Delays or disruptions in the supply chain may adversely impact our ability to manufacture and distribute products. Any failure to properly store our products may similarly impact our manufacturing and distribution capabilities, impacting business financials. If we were to lose a supplier it could result in interruption of product shipments, cancellation of orders by customers and termination of relationships. This, along with the damage to our reputation, could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and, consequently, our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, actions by a third-party logistics supplier that fail to comply with contract terms or applicable laws and regulations could result in such third-party logistics supplier exposing us to claims for damages, financial penalties and reputational harm, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Raw materials necessary for the production of our products with limited sources of supply are susceptible to cost increases, supply disruptions, and supply changes, any of which could disrupt our operations. A substantial amount of the raw materials used to manufacture our fire safety products and specialty products are sourced from third-party suppliers, some of which are derived from limited or sole sources of supply. We are therefore subject to the risk of shortages, long lead times in the supply of these raw materials, our suppliers discontinuing or modifying the raw materials used in our products. We have a global supply chain, and geopolitical conflicts may cause delays in the global supply chain, decreased shipping capacity, price fluctuations and a reduction in overall shipping resources, resulting in longer lead times for key raw materials to be transported to our facilities. In addition, the lead times associated with certain raw materials are lengthy and preclude rapid changes in quantities and delivery schedules. In the event of a raw materials shortage, supply interruption or material pricing change from suppliers of these raw materials, we may not be able to develop alternate sources in a timely manner or at all in the case of sole or limited sources. Developing alternate sources of supply for these raw materials is time-consuming, difficult, and costly as they require extensive 16
Page 17
Table of Contents qualifications and testing, and we may not be able to source these raw materials on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, which may undermine our ability to meet our requirements or to fill customer orders in a timely manner. Any interruption or delay in the supply of any of these raw materials, or the inability to obtain these raw materials from alternate sources at acceptable prices and within a reasonable amount of time, would adversely affect our ability to meet our scheduled product deliveries to our customers. This could adversely affect our relationships with our customers and could cause delays in shipment of our products and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, increased raw materials costs, labor costs and costs of services could result in lower gross margins. Even where we are able to pass increased raw materials costs along to our customers, there may be a lapse of time before we are able to do so such that we must absorb the increased cost. If we are unable to buy these raw materials in quantities sufficient to meet our requirements on a timely basis, we will not be able to deliver products to our customers, which may result in such customers using competitive products instead of our products. These risks are further exacerbated by increases in inflation, along with geopolitical events and global supply chain disruptions, which have caused, and may in the future cause, global economic uncertainty, which may make it more difficult or costly to obtain raw materials, labor and services on terms acceptable to us. The industries in which we operate and in which we intend to operate in the future may be subject to change and failure to continuously innovate coupled with increased competition or the introduction of lower-cost, higher-performance or more environmentally preferred products could reduce demand for our products and adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers. The industries in which we operate are, and those we intend to operate in the future may be, subject to change, including through shifts in customer demands, regulatory requirements, industry standards and practices, technological developments and through the emergence of new competitors and substitute products. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to respond to these changes in a cost- effective and timely manner by continuously innovating and developing products that achieve market acceptance. This requires us to anticipate the emergence of new technologies, assess their market acceptance and invest significant resources in research and development to keep our products competitive. However, research and development activities are inherently uncertain, and we may encounter difficulties or delays in commercializing new or improved products, incur excessive research and development costs or fail to develop products that are commercially successful. If we are unable to keep pace with technological developments or market trends, or if new technologies, industry standards or regulatory requirements render our products less attractive or obsolete, we may be unable to attract new customers or retain existing customers. Competitors may also introduce new products, including fire retardants based on different chemistry or raw materials that are lower in cost, have enhanced performance characteristics or are considered preferable for environmental or other reasons. If such products reduce or replace demand for our products in significant volumes, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, select markets for some of our niche products and services, may attract additional competitors. We cannot provide any assurances that we will have the financial resources to fund capital improvements to more effectively compete with such competitors or that even if financial resources are available to us, that projected operating results will justify such expenditures. Smaller companies may be more innovative, better able to bring new products to market and better able to quickly exploit and serve niche markets. Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our competitive position and business. Our businesses depend upon many proprietary technologies, including patents, licenses, trademarks and trade secrets. The trademarks and patents that we own may be challenged, and because of such challenges, we could eventually lose our exclusive rights to use and enforce such patented technologies and trademarks, which could adversely affect our competitive position, business, financial condition and results of operations. We are licensed to use certain patents and technology owned by other companies to manufacture products complementary to our own products. We pay royalties for these licenses in amounts not considered material, in the aggregate, to our consolidated results. We also rely on unpatented proprietary know-how and continuing technological innovation and other trade secrets in all regions to develop and maintain our competitive position. Although it is our policy to enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties to restrict the use and disclosure of trade secrets and proprietary know-how, those confidentiality agreements may be breached. Additionally, adequate remedies may not be available in the event 17
Page 18
Table of Contents of an unauthorized use or disclosure of such trade secrets and know-how, and others could obtain knowledge of such trade secrets through independent development or other access by legal means. The failure of our patents, trademarks or confidentiality agreements to protect our processes, technology, trade secrets or proprietary know-how and the brands under which we market and sell our products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, in some of the countries in which we operate, the laws protecting patent holders are significantly weaker than in the United States, countries in the European Union (the “EU”) and certain other countries. Weaker protection may assist competing manufacturers in becoming more competitive in markets in which they might not have otherwise been able to introduce competing products for a number of years. As a result, we tend to rely more heavily upon trade secret and know-how protection in these regions, as applicable, rather than patents and this may adversely impact our sales, business, financial condition and results of operations. Our commercial success will depend in part on our success in obtaining and maintaining issued patents and other intellectual property rights in the United States and elsewhere. We cannot provide any assurances that any of our patents have, or that any of our pending patent applications that mature into issued patents will include, claims with a scope sufficient to protect our products, any additional features we develop or any new products. Patents, if issued, may be challenged, deemed unenforceable, invalidated or circumvented. We also cannot provide any assurances that any of our pending patent applications will be approved and a rejection of a patent application could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to protect our intellectual property from competitors. Furthermore, though an issued patent is presumed valid and enforceable, its issuance is not conclusive as to its validity or its enforceability and it may not provide us with adequate proprietary protection or competitive advantages against competitors with similar products. Competitors may also be able to design around our patents. Other parties may develop and obtain patent protection for more effective technologies, designs or methods. Claims and proceedings to protect our intellectual property can also distract and divert management and key personnel from other tasks important to the success of our business. In addition, intellectual property litigation or claims could force us to do one or more of the following: (i) cease selling products that contain asserted intellectual property; (ii) pay substantial damages for past use of the asserted intellectual property; (iii) obtain a license from the holder of the asserted intellectual property, which may not be available on reasonable terms; and (iv) redesign or rename, in the case of trademark claims, our products to avoid infringing the rights of third parties. Such requirements could adversely affect our revenue, increase costs, and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our substantial indebtedness may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business and fulfill our obligations under our indebtedness. Our substantial indebtedness could have significant effects on our operations, including requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to debt payments and thereby reducing funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, dividends, research and development, and other general corporate purposes. It may also increase our interest expense, particularly with respect to any borrowings under our revolving credit facility which are subject to variable rates, and limit our ability to refinance existing indebtedness or result in higher interest costs if rates rise. In addition, our debt level could negatively affect our credit ratings, increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, and limit our flexibility to respond to changes in our business or industry. Our substantial indebtedness may also restrict our ability to pursue strategic acquisitions, invest in and introduce new technologies, or capitalize on business opportunities, and could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors with less indebtedness. The terms of our indebtedness may limit our ability to borrow additional funds or capitalize on business opportunities, and our future debt level may limit our future financial and operating flexibility. Our ability to access capital markets to raise capital on favorable terms will be affected by our debt level, our operating and financial performance, the amount of our current maturities and debt maturing in the next several years, and by prevailing credit market conditions. Moreover, if lenders or any future credit rating agency downgrade our credit rating, then we could experience increases in our borrowing costs, face difficulty accessing capital markets or incurring additional indebtedness, be unable to receive open credit from our suppliers and trade counterparties, be unable to benefit from swings in market prices and shifts in market structure during periods of volatility in the commodity markets or suffer a reduction in the market price of our Common Stock. If we are unable to access the capital markets on favorable terms at the time a debt 18
Page 19
Table of Contents obligation becomes due in the future. The price and terms upon which we might receive such extensions or additional bank credit, if at all, could be more onerous than those contained in existing debt agreements. Any such arrangements could, in turn, increase the risk that our leverage may adversely affect our future financial and operating flexibility and thereby impact our ability to pay cash distributions at expected rates. We may incur substantial additional indebtedness, which could further exacerbate the risks that we may face. Subject to the restrictions in the agreements that govern our amended and restated revolving credit facility, we may incur substantial additional indebtedness (including secured indebtedness) in the future. These restrictions are subject to waiver and a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. Any material increase in our level of indebtedness may have several important effects on our future operations, including, without limitation: (i) requiring additional cash to support interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness; (ii) increasing our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, as well as to competitive pressure; and (iii) depending on the levels of our outstanding indebtedness, limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. We intend to pursue acquisitions. Our business may be adversely affected if we cannot consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or if we cannot effectively integrate acquired operations. Any future growth through acquisitions will be partially dependent upon the continued availability of suitable acquisition candidates at favorable prices and upon advantageous terms and conditions. We intend to pursue acquisitions that we believe will present opportunities consistent with our overall business strategy. However, we may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates to purchase or may be unable to acquire desired businesses or assets on economically acceptable terms or may be unable to receive necessary regulatory approvals or support. In addition, we may not be able to raise the capital necessary to fund future acquisitions. We may encounter unforeseen expenses, complications and delays, including regulatory complications or difficulties in employing sufficient staff and maintaining operational and management oversight. If we consummate an acquisition, our capitalization and results of operations may change significantly. Future acquisitions could result in margin dilution and may result in additional debt, contingent liabilities and an increase in interest and amortization expenses or periodic impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets as well as significant charges relating to integration costs. For example, on January 22, 2026, we consummated the MMT Acquisition and expect that the MMT Acquisition will result in various benefits, including strategic diversification into medical manufacturing, access to new original equipment manufacturer customer relationships, recurring aftermarket revenue streams, new opportunities for disciplined tuck ‑ in acquisitions and the application of our operating model to drive margin improvement and cash generation. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the MMT Acquisition is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether our assets and businesses and the assets and businesses of MMT can be integrated in an efficient and effective manner. The optimization of our operations following the MMT Acquisition will be a complex, costly and time- consuming process and if we experience difficulties in this process, the anticipated benefits may not be realized fully or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected, which could have an adverse effect on us for an undetermined period. Acquisitions involve risks that the businesses acquired will not perform in accordance with expectations and that business judgments concerning the value, strengths and weaknesses of businesses acquired will prove incorrect. In addition, we may not be able to successfully integrate any business we acquire into our existing business. The successful integration of new businesses depends on, among other things, our ability to manage these new businesses and cut excess costs. The successful integration of future acquisitions may also require substantial attention from our senior management and the management of the acquired business, which could decrease the time that they have to service, attract customers and develop new products and services or attend to other acquisition opportunities. There can be no assurances that we will realize the potential operating efficiencies, synergies and other benefits from the businesses that we acquire, including from the MMT Acquisition. Our attempt to expand our business into new markets and geographies through the MMT Acquisition may not be successful and exposes us to new and different risks. We opportunistically seek to grow our business through, among other things, expanding into new industries and geographies with diverse product offerings. Our acquisition of MMT represents a significant expansion of our business into 19

Table of Contents the medical manufacturing industry, where we have limited experience and which operates under different business models, customer and regulatory requirements, and operational processes than our traditional fire safety and specialty products businesses. Our efforts to integrate MMT and expand our offerings into the medical manufacturing market may not succeed due to our lack of experience with that industry and expose us to new and different risks than those presented in our traditional fire safety and specialty products businesses, which could have a material adverse impact on our ability to manage that business and realize the benefits of the MMT Acquisition. The medical manufacturing business requires very different products and services, sales and marketing channels, and internal operational systems and processes than our current operations. These requirements could disrupt our current operations and divert management attention from our core business. MMT may also operate in geographic markets where we have limited presence, requiring us to establish new distribution channels and customer relationships. There can be no assurance that our expansion into medical manufacturing will develop as anticipated or that we will succeed. If we are unsuccessful, we may be unable to recover our investment and may not realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, the industries in which MMT’s customers operate are subject to extensive and complex regulatory oversight, including FDA regulations, thereby subjecting MMT to quality management system requirements and medical device regulations that are entirely different from our current regulatory environment. We may not be able to navigate this rapidly evolving regulatory environment or forecast and meet the continually changing regulatory demands. Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Matters We are the subject of litigation by customers, suppliers and other third parties and may be the subject of such litigation in the future. We are the subject of litigation by customers, suppliers and other third parties and may be the subject of such litigation in the future. From time to time, such lawsuits are filed against us and the outcome of any litigation, particularly class or collective action lawsuits and regulatory actions, is difficult to assess or quantify. Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits may seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss relating to such lawsuits may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. The cost to defend any such lawsuits may be significant and may negatively affect our operating results if changes to our business operations are required. There may also be negative publicity associated with litigation that could decrease customer acceptance of our products, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. A significant judgment against us, the loss and/or expiration of a significant permit, license or other approval, or a significant fine, penalty or contractual dispute could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Legal proceedings, in general, and class action and multi-district litigation, in particular, can be expensive and disruptive, and may not be insured or exceed any applicable insurance coverage. Additionally, defending against these lawsuits and proceedings may involve significant expense and diversion of management’s attention and resources. Some of these suits may purport or may be determined to be class actions and/or involve parties seeking large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive or exemplary damages, and may remain unresolved for several years. For example, we are a defendant in a multi-district litigation pending in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina (“MDL”) relating to the manufacture, sale, and distribution of fluorinated Aqueous Film Forming Foams (“AFFF”). The cases allege, among other things, groundwater contamination, drinking water contamination, damages to natural resources, and bodily injuries from exposure to PFAS chemicals in AFFF. The plaintiffs include, among others, individual firefighters, municipalities and corporate water providers, and state attorneys general. The lead defendants include 3M Company, Tyco Fire Products LP/Chemguard, and DuPont de Nemours, Inc./The Chemours Company, and multiple other defendants, including Amerex. As part of the MDL, Amerex has been named as a defendant in AFFF lawsuits based on its prior ownership of The Solberg Company (“Solberg”), which Perimeter acquired fromAmerex on January 1, 2019. Although Amerex retained certain pre-closing liabilities for Solberg, Amerex noticed indemnity claims to Perimeter prior to the expiration of a contractual indemnity period, and some potential direct claims, that have been made against Perimeter on the basis of the Company’s ownership of Solberg after January 1, 2019. Amerex is barred from making new, third-party indemnity claims against Perimeter after December 31, 2021. There are also AFFF cases pending against Perimeter in the MDL on the basis of its manufacturing, distribution, and sale of non-Solberg products, including Phos-Chek. There are currently no AFFF cases against Perimeter pending in state court. 20

Table of Contents We cannot predict with certainty the outcomes of these legal proceedings and other contingencies, and the costs incurred in litigation can be substantial, regardless of the outcome. Proceedings that we believe are insignificant may develop into material proceedings and subject us to unforeseen outcomes or expenses. Additionally, the actions of certain participants in our industry may encourage legal proceedings against us or cause us to reconsider our litigation strategies. As a result, we could from time to time incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some of the products we produce may cause adverse health consequences or environmental impacts, which exposes us to product liability and other claims, and we may, from time to time, be the subject of indemnity claims. Indemnity and insurance coverage could be inadequate or unavailable to cover such product liability and other claims. Some of the products we produce may cause adverse health consequences or environmental impacts, which exposes us to product liability and other possible claims including indemnity claims by our distributors pursuant to the terms of our distributor arrangements. Our products contain innovative combinations of materials. While there is data available with respect to the environmental impacts of our fire retardant products that are conducted by governmental agencies, this data is limited to certain locations and periods and therefore, may not capture all the possible environmental impacts and side effects of use or repeated use of our fire retardant products. Similarly, there have been toxicological studies conducted on the impact of our products on certain fish and mammalian species, however, this is limited in scope and therefore, does not present all the potential side effects and/or the products’ interaction with animal biochemistry. As a result, our products could have certain impact on the environment or the animal population that is currently unknown by the Company. A successful class action proceeding or one or a series of claims related to degradation of natural resources, product liability or exposure from usage of a product that exceeds our insurance or indemnity coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such litigation and indemnity claim resolution is expensive, time consuming and may divert management’s attention away from the operation of the business. The outcome of litigation and disputes can never be predicted with certainty and not resolving such matters favorably could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or reputation, as they may require us to pay substantial damages or make substantial indemnification payments, among other consequences. We manufacture, among other things, products used to extinguish fires. The products that we manufacture are typically used in applications and situations that involve high levels of risk of personal injury. Failure to use our products for their intended purposes, failure to use our products properly or the malfunction of our products could result in serious bodily injury or death of the user. In such cases, we may be subject to product liability claims arising from the design, manufacture or sale of our products. If these claims are decided against us, and we are found to be liable, we may be required to pay substantial damages, and our insurance costs may increase significantly as a result. We cannot assure you that our indemnity and insurance coverage would be sufficient to cover the payment of any potential claim. In addition, we cannot assure you that this or any other indemnity or insurance coverage will continue to be available or, if available, that we will be able to obtain insurance at a reasonable cost. Any material uninsured loss could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. A failure to comply with export control or economic sanctions laws and regulations could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We may be unable to ensure that our distributors comply with applicable sanctions and export control laws. We operate on a global basis, with a portion of our revenues made to destinations outside the United States. We face several risks inherent in conducting business internationally, including compliance with applicable economic sanctions laws and regulations, such as laws and regulations administered by U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Commerce. We must also comply with all applicable export control laws and regulations of the United States, the EU and other countries. Violations of these laws or regulations could result in significant additional sanctions including criminal or civil fines or penalties, more onerous compliance requirements, more extensive debarments from export privileges or loss of authorizations needed to conduct aspects of our international business. In certain countries, we may engage third party agents or intermediaries, such as customs agents, to act on our behalf and if these third-party agents or intermediaries violate applicable laws, their actions may result in criminal or civil fines or penalties, or other sanctions being assessed against us. We take certain measures designed to ensure our compliance with U.S. export and economic sanctions law and we believe that we have never sold our products to Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria or the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine (collectively, “Countries of Concern”) 21
Page 22
Table of Contents through third party agents or intermediaries or made any effort to attract business from any of these countries. We also take steps to prevent our products from being sold, without the necessary legal authorization, to individuals or entities that are the subject or target of U.S. export and economic sanctions laws. However, it is possible that some of our products were sold or will be sold to distributors or other parties that, without our knowledge or consent, re-exported or will re-export such products to these countries or sanctioned persons. Although none of our non-U.S. distributors are located in, or to our knowledge, conduct business with Countries of Concern, we may not be successful in ensuring compliance with limitations or restrictions on business with these or other countries subject to economic sanctions. We may be exposed to compliance-related risks with export control or economic sanctions laws and regulations in the future. Any such violation could result in significant criminal or civil fines, penalties or other sanctions and repercussions, including reputational harm that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Because of our international operations, we could be materially adversely affected by violations of the U.S. FCPA and similar anticorruption, anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws. Our business operations and sales in countries outside the United States are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery and anti- kickback laws and regulations, including restrictions imposed by the FCPA, as well as the United Kingdom Bribery Act of 2010 (the “UK Bribery Act”). The FCPA, UK Bribery Act, and similar anti-corruption, anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies, their employees, their intermediaries and their agents from providing anything of value to government officials or any other persons for the purpose of improperly obtaining or retaining business. We operate and sell our products in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-corruption, anti- bribery and anti-kickback laws may conflict with local customs and practices. We have policies in place that prohibit employees from making improper payments on our behalf. We continue to implement internal controls and procedures designed to promote compliance with anti-corruption, anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws, rules and regulations as well as mitigate and protect against corruption risks. We cannot provide assurance that our internal controls and procedures will protect us from reckless, criminal or other acts committed by our employees or third parties with whom we work. If we are found to be liable for violations of the FCPA or similar anti-corruption, anti- bribery and anti-kickback laws in international jurisdictions, either due to our own acts or omissions, or out of inadvertence, or due to the acts or inadvertence of others, we could suffer criminal or civil fines or penalties or other repercussions, including reputational harm, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our products are subject to extensive government scrutiny and regulation, including the USDA Forest Service qualification process. There can be no assurance that such regulations will not change and that our products will continue to be approved for usage. We are subject to regulation by federal, state, local and foreign government authorities. In some cases, for example, for our firefighting products, we need to pass the USDA Forest Service qualification process, which is a rigorous process that requires the product passing several tests and standards, including toxicity, corrosion and stability. The USDA Forest Service also requires a lengthy field evaluation, which adds to the difficulty of meeting USDA Forest Service standards. In addition to meeting the USDA Forest Service standards, the agency may be required to consult with other government agencies, for example, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), to meet additional requirements and regulations. We are also subject to ongoing reviews of our products, manufacturing processes and facilities by government authorities, and such agencies may at times be involved in challenges by outside groups, and as a result, we may be required to also produce product data and comply with detailed regulatory requirements. We provide products and services, directly and indirectly, to a variety of government entities. We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from multiple contracts with agencies of the U.S. federal government. As such, we must comply with and are affected by laws and regulations relating to the award, administration and performance of U.S. government contracts. Government contract laws and regulations affect how we do business with our customers and impose certain risks and costs on our business. Risks associated with selling products and services to government entities include extended sales and collection cycles, varying governmental budgeting processes, and adherence to complex procurement regulations and other government-specific contractual requirements. We may be subject to audits and investigations relating to our government contracts and any violations could result in civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, payment of fines, and suspension or debarment from future government business, as well as harm to our business, financial condition and results of operations. 22
Page 23
Table of Contents The Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (“REACH”) legislation may affect our ability to manufacture and sell certain products in the EU: REACH requires chemical manufacturers and importers in the EU to prove the safety of their products. Substances of high concern are also subject to an authorization process, which may result in restrictions on certain uses of products or even prohibitions on the manufacture or importation of products. The full registration requirements of REACH have been phased in over several years, and we have incurred additional expense to cause the registration of our products under these regulations. REACH may affect our ability to import, manufacture and sell certain products in the EU. In addition, other countries and regions of the world already have or may adopt legislation similar to REACH that affect our business, our ability to import, manufacture or sell certain products in these jurisdictions, and have required or will require us to incur increased costs. The Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act modified the Toxic Control Substances Act (“TSCA”), to require the EPA to prioritize and evaluate the environmental and health risks of existing chemicals, providing the agency with greater authority to regulate chemicals that pose unreasonable risks. According to this statute, the EPA is required to make an affirmative finding that a new chemical will not pose an unreasonable risk before such chemical can go into production. As a result, TSCA now operates in a similar fashion to the REACH legislation in Europe. These laws and regulations, among others, increase the complexity and costs of transporting our products from the country in which they are manufactured to our customers. Further changes to these and similar regulations could restrict our ability to expand, build or acquire new facilities, require us to acquire costly control equipment, cause us to incur expenses associated with remediation of contamination, cause us to modify our manufacturing or shipping processes or otherwise increase our cost of doing business and have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the adoption of new laws, rules or regulations related to climate change poses risks that could harm our results of operations or affect the way we conduct our businesses and require us to make substantial expenditures to enhance our environmental compliance efforts. New or stricter laws and regulations may be introduced that could result in additional compliance costs and prevent or inhibit the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of our products. For example, certain PFAS in firefighting foam may become regulated as hazardous substances, phased out or banned. The USDA Forest Service may also change its qualification process or determine that our products no longer qualify under existing requirements. Such outcomes could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. For MMT, while it does not manufacture finished medical devices or engage in activities subject to FDA establishment registration or device listing requirements, its customers are regulated medical device manufacturers. These customers may require MMT to comply with certain quality management and manufacturing standards, such as FDA and ISO quality system regulations, to support their own regulatory compliance. Failure by MMT to meet these contractual or quality requirements could adversely affect customer relationships or result in loss of business. We face potential liabilities under environmental, health and safety laws, and changes to these requirements, stricter enforcement, or discovery of contamination at our facilities or sites where our products have been used could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. We operate in jurisdictions where legislative initiatives relating to greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions are being considered or adopted. Mandatory climate change reporting frameworks may materially increase the amount of time, monitoring and reporting costs related to these matters. There has been no material effect on any of our facilities to date, and we continue to follow developments closely. We may face increased capital and operating costs to comply with GHG emissions regulations which could be material. The potential impact of current and proposed environmental laws and regulations is uncertain. We cannot predict the nature of these requirements and the impact on our business, but proposed regulations or failure to comply with current and proposed regulations could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations by substantially increasing capital expenditures and compliance costs, affecting our ability to meet our financial obligations. It may also lead to the modification or cancellation of operating licenses and permits, penalties and other corrective actions. The regulatory environment in which we operate is subject to change, and new regulations and new or existing claims, such as those related to certain PFAS substances, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations or make aspects of our business as currently conducted no longer possible. In addition, we are and, in the future may be, subject to claims related to substances such PFAS, including for degradation of natural resources from such PFAS and personal injury or product liability claims as a result of human exposure to such PFAS. 23
Page 24
Table of Contents Our operations are subject to extensive environmental regulation in each of the countries in which we maintain facilities. These regulations include requirements governing the manufacture and sale of firefighting foam containing PFAS chemicals, restrictions on PFAS discharges in wastewater, obligations to investigate and remediate soil and groundwater contamination, air quality standards, hazardous waste management requirements, and regulations on chemical content and water pollution. These requirements may require us to allocate the cost of investigating, monitoring and remedying soil and groundwater contamination to a party operating the site. With regards to our specialty products segment, our use of hazardous substances in our manufacturing processes and the generation of hazardous wastes not only by us, but by prior occupants of our facilities, suggest that hazardous substances may be present at or near certain of our facilities or may come to be located there in the future. Consequently, we are required to closely monitor our compliance under all the various environmental laws and regulations applicable to us. Under certain environmental laws, we may be responsible for remediation costs or other liabilities as a result of the use, release or disposal of hazardous substances at or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated or to which we sent waste for treatment or disposal. Liability under these laws may be imposed without regard to whether we were aware of, or caused, the contamination and, in some cases, liability may be joint or several. Our facilities are subject to increasingly more stringent federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Some of these laws and regulations relate to what are frequently called “emerging contaminants,” such as PFAS. Some of our products use fluorine as a raw material, which is considered a PFAS chemical. We and some of our competitors have been, are, and in the future may be the target of lawsuits and state enforcement actions because of the alleged discharge of PFAS into the environment, including for degradation of natural resources from such PFAS and personal injury or product liability claims as a result of human exposure to such PFAS. We obtain Phase I or similar environmental site assessments for most of the manufacturing facilities we own or lease at the time we either acquire or lease such facilities. These assessments typically include general inspections. These assessments may not reveal all potential environmental liabilities and current assessments are not available for all facilities. Consequently, there may be material environmental liabilities of which we are not aware. In addition, ongoing cleanup and containment operations may not be adequate for purposes of future laws and regulations. The conditions of our properties could also be affected in the future by neighboring operations or the conditions of the land in the vicinity of our properties. These developments and others, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations, increasingly strict enforcement of environmental laws and regulations, or claims for damage to property or injury to persons resulting from the environmental, health or safety impact of our operations, may cause us to incur significant costs and liabilities that could have a material adverse effect. Our facilities are required to maintain numerous environmental permits and governmental approvals for our operations. Some of the environmental permits and governmental approvals that have been issued to us or to our facilities contain conditions and restrictions, including restrictions or limits on emissions and discharges of pollutants and contaminants, or may have limited terms. Maintaining these permits and complying with their terms as well as environmental laws and regulations applicable to our business could require us to incur material costs. If we fail to satisfy these conditions or to comply with these restrictions or with applicable environmental laws and regulations, we may become subject to enforcement actions, and the operation of the relevant facilities could be adversely affected. We may also be subject to fines, penalties, claims for injunctive relief or additional costs. We may not be able to renew, maintain or obtain all environmental permits and governmental approvals required for the continued operation or further development of our facilities, as a result of which the operation of our facilities may be limited or suspended. Because our specialty products segment manufactures and uses materials that are known to be hazardous, highly combustible and difficult to transport, we are subject to, or affected by, certain product and manufacturing regulations, for which compliance can be costly and time consuming. In addition, we may be subject to personal injury or product liability claims as a result of human exposure to such hazardous materials. We produce hazardous, highly combustible and difficult to transport chemicals, which subject us to regulation by many U.S. and non-U.S. national, supra-national, state and local governmental authorities. In some circumstances, these authorities must review and, in some cases approve, our products and/or manufacturing processes and facilities before we may manufacture and sell some of these chemicals. To be able to manufacture and sell certain new chemical products, we may be required, among other things, to demonstrate to the relevant authority that the product does not pose an unreasonable risk during its intended uses and/or that we are capable of manufacturing the product in compliance with current regulations. The process of seeking any necessary approvals can be costly, time consuming and subject to 24
Page 25
Table of Contents unanticipated and significant delays. Approvals may not be granted to us on a timely basis, or at all. Any delay in obtaining, or any failure to obtain or maintain these approvals would adversely affect our ability to introduce new products and to generate revenue from those products. New laws and regulations may be introduced in the future that could result in additional compliance costs, bans on product sales or use, seizures, confiscation, recall or monetary fines, any of which could prevent or inhibit the development, distribution or sale of our products and could cause our customers to find less hazardous substitutes for our products. We are subject to ongoing reviews of our products and manufacturing processes. PS is transported through a combination of ground and sea. These materials are highly combustible and difficult to transport, so they must be handled carefully and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. An incident in the transportation of our materials or our failure to comply with laws and regulations applicable to the transfer of such products could lead to human injuries or significant property damage, regulatory repercussions or could make it difficult to fulfill our obligations to our customers, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Products we have made or used could be the focus of legal claims based upon allegations of harm to human health. We cannot predict the outcome of suits and claims, and an unfavorable outcome in these litigation matters could exceed reserves or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cause our reputation to decline. Risks Related to Operating as a Public Company and Our Corporate Structure The EverArc Founders, all of whom are directors of our company, have interests that are different, or in addition to the interests of our stockholders. As a result of the Founder Advisory Agreement entered into by EverArc and the EverArc Founder Entity (as assumed by the Company) to provide incentives to the EverArc Founders to achieve the Company’s objectives, the EverArc Founders have interests that are different and in addition to interests of our stockholders generally. Specifically, under the Founder Advisory Agreement, as consideration for services provided to the Company by the EverArc Founder Entity, including strategic and capital allocation advice, the Company will pay the EverArc Founder Entity a fixed advisory amount (the “Fixed Annual Advisory Amount”) and a variable advisory amount which variable amount is earned solely based upon appreciation of the market price of our Common Stock (the “Variable Annual Advisory Amount,” each an “Advisory Amount” and collectively, the “Advisory Amounts”) as follows: • a Fixed Annual Advisory Amount equal to 1.5% of 157,137,410 shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date (in each case, payable in our Common Stock or partly in cash, at the election of the EverArc Founder Entity provided that at least 50% of such amounts are paid in our Common Stock); and • a Variable Annual Advisory Amount based on the appreciation of the market price of our Common Stock if such market price exceeds certain trading price minimums (in each case, payable in our Common Stock or partly in cash, at the election of the EverArc Founder Entity provided that at least 50% of such amounts are paid in our Common Stock). With respect to the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount, the EverArc Founder Entity will earn such advisory fee even if our stockholders earn a negative return. Pursuant to the Founder Advisory Agreement, we may be required to pay significant fees to the EverArc Founder Entity, which could reduce cash available for investment in the business, working capital and distribution to stockholders. We are required to pay the EverArc Founder Entity a Fixed Annual Advisory Amount and, if earned, a Variable Annual Advisory Amount each year until the years ending December 31, 2027 and December 31, 2031, respectively, pursuant to the Founder Advisory Agreement. Under the Founder Advisory Agreement, at the election of the EverArc Founder Entity, at least 50% of the total fees will be paid in Common Stock and the remainder in cash. If the EverArc Founder Entity elects to receive a portion of the future fees in cash, we may need to use cash from operations, borrowings or other sources to make the payment, which will reduce cash available for investing activities, working capital and/or distribution to stockholders. See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, for additional information related to the Founders Advisory Amounts. 2 5 25
Page 26
Table of Contents Our stockholders will experience dilution as a consequence of the issuance of our Common Stock as payment for the Advisory Amounts payable to the EverArc Founder Entity. We will be obligated to pay the Advisory Amounts to the EverArc Founder Entity until the years ending December 31, 2027 and 2031, respectively. The portion of the Advisory Amounts payable in shares of our Common Stock will reduce the percentage shareholdings for those stockholders holding our Common Stock. Pursuant to the Founder Advisory Agreement, we will be required to make a termination payment if the Founder Advisory Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances. In the event the Founder Advisory Agreement is terminated by us upon the Company ceasing to be traded on the NYSE or by the Company upon a sale of us we will pay the EverArc Founders a termination payment in cash. This termination payment may be substantial and will be immediately due and payable on the date of termination of the Founder Advisory Agreement. Our share price could be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain effective internal controls. The accuracy of our financial reporting is dependent on the effectiveness of our internal controls. We are required to provide a report from management to our stockholders on our internal control over financial reporting that includes an assessment of the effectiveness of these controls. Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations, including human error, the possibility that controls could be circumvented or become inadequate because of changed conditions, and fraud. Because of these inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting might not prevent or detect all misstatements or fraud. If we cannot maintain and execute adequate internal control over financial reporting or implement required new controls that provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of the financial reporting and preparation of our financial statements for external use, we could suffer harm to our reputation, fail to meet our public reporting requirements on a timely basis, be unable to properly report on our business and our results of operations, or be required to restate our financial statements, and our results of operations, our share price could be materially adversely affected. Anti-takeover provisions in our Organizational Documents could make an acquisition of us more difficult and limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management. In addition to protections afforded under the DGCL, our Organizational Documents contain anti-takeover provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management or our Board. Our Organizational Documents include the following anti-takeover provisions: • no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates; • the exclusive right of our Board to establish the size of the board of directors and to appoint a director to fill a vacancy, however occurring, including by expanding our Board; • the ability of our Board to authorize the issuance of additional series of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including voting or other rights or preferences, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror; • advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquiror’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us; and • the limitation of liability of, and provision of indemnification to, our directors and officers. These anti-takeover provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our Board, which will be responsible for appointing the members of our management, and may discourage, delay, or prevent a transaction involving a change in control of the Company that is in the best interest of our minority stockholders. Even in the absence of a takeover attempt, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the prevailing market price of the Common Stock if stockholders view them as discouraging future takeover attempts. 26
Page 27
Table of Contents Our Organizational Documents designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by stockholders, which could limit stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors or officers or other matters pertaining to our internal affairs. Our Organizational Documents provide that, subject to limited exceptions and unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, or stockholders to us or to our stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our Organizational Documents (as either may be amended from time to time) or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The forum selection provision in our Organizational Documents does not apply to establish the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the forum for actions or proceedings brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and our Organizational Documents will provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. While there can be no assurance that federal or state courts will determine that our federal forum provision should be enforced in a particular case, application of our federal forum provision means that suits brought by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act must be brought in federal court and cannot be brought in state court. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and our Bylaws will provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder must be brought in federal court. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Any person or entity purchasing, otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and consented to, these forum selection provisions. However, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Additionally, our stockholders cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other matters pertaining to our internal affairs, and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our Organizational Documents inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition, or operating results. General Risk Factors Additional taxes and changes in tax laws may materially adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Our tax filings are subject to audits by tax authorities in the various jurisdictions in which we do business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the taxing authorities or through the courts. Currently, we believe there are no outstanding assessments whose resolution would result in a material adverse financial result. However, we cannot offer assurances that unasserted or potential future assessments would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Additionally, new income, sales, use or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be enacted at any time, which could adversely affect our business, 27
Page 28
Table of Contents prospects, financial condition and operating results. Further, existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified or applied adversely to us. Cybersecurity attack, acts of cyber-terrorism, failure of technology systems and other disruptions to our information technology systems could compromise our information, disrupt our operations, and expose us to liability, which may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the ordinary course of our business, we store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers, suppliers and business partners, and personally identifiable information of our employees in our information technology systems, including in our data servers and on our networks. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this data is critical to our operations. Despite our security measures, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached or disrupted due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such attack, breach or disruption could compromise our information technology systems and the information stored in them could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen, and our business operations could be disrupted. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information or business disruption could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, and damage to our reputation, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that such disruptions occur and our business continuity plans do not effectively address these disruptions in a timely manner, they may cause delays in the manufacture or shipment of our products and the cancellation of customer orders and, as a result, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. Our insurance may not fully cover all of our operational risks, including, but not limited to, environmental risks, and changes in the cost of insurance or the availability of insurance could materially increase our insurance costs or result in a decrease in our insurance coverage. We have a significant concentration of our manufacturing facilities. Natural disasters and severe weather events (such as hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, floods, landslides and wind or hailstorms) or other extraordinary events subject us to property loss and business interruption. Illegal or unethical conduct by employees, customers, vendors and unaffiliated third parties can also impact our business. Other potential liabilities arising out of our operations may involve claims by employees, customers or third parties for personal injury, product liability or property damage and potential fines and penalties in connection with alleged violations of regulatory requirements. In certain instances, our insurance may not fully cover an insured loss depending on the magnitude and nature of the claim. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will not be exposed to uninsured or underinsured losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, changes in the cost of insurance or the availability of insurance in the future could substantially increase our costs to maintain our current level of coverage or could cause us to reduce our insurance coverage. We are subject to general governmental regulation and other legal obligations, including those related to privacy, data protection and information security, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business. Compliance with such laws could also impair our efforts to maintain and expand our customer base, and thereby decrease our revenue. We receive, store and process personal information and other data from and about customers in addition to our employees and services providers. Our handling of data is subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including regulation by various government agencies, such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and various state, local and foreign agencies. Our data handling also is subject to contractual obligations and industry standards. The U.S. federal and various state governments have adopted or proposed limitations on the collection, distribution, use, storage and security of data relating to individuals, including the use of contact information and other data for marketing, advertising and other communications with individuals and businesses. Additionally, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws as imposing standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of data. Several foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the EU, impose laws and regulations concerning the handling and processing of personal information obtained from their residents, which in certain cases are more restrictive than those in the United States, and we expect additional jurisdictions may enact similar regulations. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and security of various types of data, 28
Page 29
Table of Contents including data that identifies or may be used to identify an individual, such as names, email addresses and in some jurisdictions, Internet Protocol addresses. Within the EU, legislators have adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) which became effective in May 2018. The GDPR includes more stringent operational requirements for processors and controllers of personal data than previous EU data protection laws and imposes significant penalties for non-compliance. These domestic and foreign laws and regulations relating to privacy and data security are evolving, can be subject to significant change and may result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions. Interpretation of certain requirements remains unclear and may evolve, in particular for regulations that have recently been enacted. Application of laws may be inconsistent or may conflict among jurisdictions resulting in additional complexity and increased legal risk. In addition, these regulations have increased our compliance costs and may impair our ability to grow our business or offer our service in some locations, may subject us to liability for non-compliance, may require us to modify our data processing and transferring practices and policies and may strain our technical capabilities. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws, regulations, policies, legal or contractual obligations, industry standards, or regulatory guidance relating to privacy or data security, may result in governmental investigations and enforcement actions, litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity, and could cause reputational harm, which could have an adverse effect on our business. We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations and industry standards relating to privacy, data protection, information security and local data residency in the United States, the EU and other jurisdictions, and we cannot determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The loss of key personnel or our inability to attract and retain new qualified personnel could hurt our business and inhibit our ability to operate and grow successfully. Our success depends on the continuing services of certain members of our current management team. Our executive team are incentivized by share-based compensation grants that align the interests of investors with the executive team and certain executives have employment agreements. The loss of key management, employees or third-party contractors could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the success of our operations largely depends upon our ability to successfully attract and maintain competent and qualified key management personnel. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to attract such individuals or that the presence of such individuals will necessarily translate into profitability. If we are successful in attracting and retaining such individuals, it is likely that our payroll costs and related expenses will increase significantly and that there will be additional dilution to existing stockholders as a result of equity incentives that may need to be issued to such management personnel. Our inability to attract and retain key personnel may materially and adversely affect our business operations. Any failure by our management to effectively anticipate, implement, and manage personnel required to sustain our growth would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments. None. Item 1C. Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy The Company proactively manages its cybersecurity and data privacy risks with organizational and technical controls including a comprehensive set of policies and procedures for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats which have been integrated into the Company’s overall risk management strategy and processes. The Company seeks to address cybersecurity risks through a comprehensive approach that is focused on implementing robust protective measures, promoting user awareness and education, continuously monitoring for potential threats, and swiftly responding to any security incidents to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information. The Company’s Incident Response Team, which is comprised of members of the finance, legal, information technology and operations teams, conducts an annual cybersecurity exercise, which includes a tabletop scenario, to evaluate the Company’s preparedness for data security and privacy incidents. These sessions include participation from various levels of management and focus on reviewing roles and responsibilities, escalation and notification protocols, and response and recovery procedures. The Company periodically engages external resources to update and enhance the 29
Page 30
Table of Contents content of these reviews and any related exercises and to provide additional perspective and rigor. In addition, all employees are required to complete ongoing formal training through an online platform, which includes identifying and reporting suspicious activity and threats such as social engineering, phishing, malware/viruses and insider risks. In addition, we actively engage with key vendors and industry communities as part of our continuing efforts to evaluate and enhance the effectiveness of our information security policies and procedures and have processes in place to oversee and identify the risk of cybersecurity threats associated with our use of these third-party vendors. We generally require third parties to, among other things, maintain security controls to protect our confidential information and data, and notify us of material cybersecurity threats that may impact our business. In 2025, we did not identify any cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Governance Our Board has oversight of our strategic and business risk management and has delegated the oversight of cybersecurity risk management to the Company’s Audit Committee. The Company’s Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing all matters relating to the security of and risks related to the Company’s information technology systems and procedures, including its cybersecurity and other information technology risks. The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring the Company has processes in place for assessing, identifying and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. The Company’s information security program is managed by the Company’s Incident Response Team, which is responsible for leading our enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, architecture, and processes. Members of the Incident Response Team have extensive global experience in developing and executing information technology strategies. The Incident Response Team, which includes the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), in collaboration with the Audit Committee, monitor the prevention, detection, mitigation and remediation of cybersecurity incidents. The CFO provides periodic reports to our Audit Committee, as well as other members of our senior management as appropriate. These reports occur at least annually and include updates on the Company’s cyber risks and threats, the status of projects to strengthen our information security systems, assessments of the information security program, and the emerging threat landscape. 30

Table of Contents PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities. Market Information Our Common Stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “PRM.” As of February 20, 2026, the closing price of our Common Stock on the NYSE was $26.64, and we had 21 stockholders of record. Dividend Policy In deciding whether to recommend any future dividend on the Common Stock, the Board would take into account any legal or contractual limitation, our actual and anticipated future earnings, cash flows, debt service, and capital requirements, our business plans and such other matters as the Board believes appropriate, in its discretion. We anticipate that any available cash will be retained by us to satisfy our operational and other cash needs. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay any cash dividend on shares of Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Performance Graph The performance graph below compares the cumulative total stockholder return of a hypothetical investment in our Common Stock with the cumulative total return of a hypothetical investment in each of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P Smallcap 600 Materials Index. An investment of $100 (with reinvestment of all dividends) is assumed to have been made in our Common Stock and in each of the indexes on November 9, 2021, and its relative performance is tracked through December 31, 2025. The share price performance of our Common Stock is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act except to the extent we specifically request that such information be treated as “soliciting material” or specifically incorporate such information by reference into such a filing. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Under the share repurchase plan, we are authorized to repurchase, from time-to-time, shares of our Common Stock through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or in such other manner as permitted by securities law and as determined by management at such time and in such amounts as management may decide (the “Share Repurchase Plan”). The Share Repurchase Plan does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases are determined by management in its discretion and depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. On August 6, 2025, the Board re-established the limit for Common Stock repurchases at $100.0 million. The Company expects to periodically re-establish the limit for Common Stock repurchases based on subsequent repurchase activity. The approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Plan was $100.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company did not repurchase any shares through the Share Repurchase Plan during the three months ended December 31, 2025. Rule 10b5-1 Trading Arrangements The Company’s officers and directors are required to comply with the Company’s insider trading policy at all times, including during a repurchase program. The insider trading policy, among other things, prohibits trading in the Company’s securities when in possession of material non-public information and restricts the ability of directors and certain officers from transacting in the Company’s securities during specific blackout periods, subject to certain limited exceptions, including transactions pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement that complies with the conditions of Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1. There were no Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements adopted, materially modified, or terminated by our officers or directors during the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company did not adopt, materially modify, or terminate any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements during the fourth quarter of 2025. Item 6. [Reserved] 33

Table of Contents Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report. This Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such statements are subject to the “safe harbor” created by those sections and involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information available to our management as of the date hereof. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Overview We are a leading provider of industrial products and services that support critical and complex customer missions across a range of niche applications. Our current operations span firefighting products, lubricant additives, electronic components and, following the acquisition of Medical Manufacturing Technologies, LLC (“MMT”) in January 2026, highly engineered machinery for the medical device industry. We develop products that address complex customer challenges where there is little margin for error. Our offerings are typically a small part of a much broader solution that serves a growing end market. Our goal is to meet customer needs better than any alternative in every market we serve. We aim to maximize our organic reinvestment into our business to best serve our customers and to support the rigorous application of our Operational Value Drivers: seeking out profitable new business, structurally improving operational productivity, and sharing in value creation through value-based pricing. These Operational Value Drivers are overseen by general managers that operate in our decentralized operating structure. These managers have full operational autonomy paired with accountability to deliver results for customers and stockholders, with strong alignment between compensation and results. We believe our Operational Value Drivers maximize our free cash flow. We then seek to maximize long-term per share equity value through a clear focus on the allocation of our capital as well as the management of our capital structure. We expect the combination of free cash flow and incremental borrowing capacity generates substantial capital available to allocate. We believe our capital allocation strategy, which prioritizes first high-return organic reinvestment opportunities, followed by opportunistic share repurchases, and finally the acquisition of new businesses, is a critical factor in achieving Perimeter’s dual purposes: serving our customers well while delivering private-equity-like stockholder returns. We conduct our operations globally, with approximately 76% of our annual revenues is derived in the United States, approximately 10% in Europe and approximately 7% in Canada, with the remaining approximately 7% spread across various other countries. Our long ‑ term vision is to build a diversified portfolio of high-quality industrial businesses via re-investment in organic growth and further acquisitions. Whether built organically or acquired, we intend to apply our strategy centered on decentralized management, our Operational Value Drivers, and thoughtful capital allocation to ensure we serve our customers well while delivering on our returns promise to stockholders. Our business is organized and managed in two reporting segments: Fire Safety and Specialty Products. The Fire Safety segment is a formulator and manufacturer of fire management products that help our customers combat various types of fires, including wildland, industrial, structural, flammable liquids and other types of fires. Our Fire Safety segment also offers specialized equipment and services, typically in conjunction with our fire management products to support our customers’ firefighting operations. Our specialized equipment includes airbase retardant storage, mixing, and delivery equipment; mobile retardant bases; retardant ground application units; mobile foam equipment; and equipment that we custom design and manufacture to meet specific customer needs. Our service network can meet the emergency resupply needs of approximately 150 air tanker bases in North America, as well as many other customer locations globally. The Fire Safety segment is built on the premise of superior technology, exceptional responsiveness to our customers’ needs, and a “never-fail” service network. The Fire Safety segment sells products to government agencies and commercial customers around the world. 34
Page 35
Table of Contents Our Specialty Products segment develops, produces and markets products for non-fire safety markets. The Specialty Products segment includes Phosphorus Derivatives, Inc., which produces Phosphorus Pentasulfide (“PS”) based lubricant additives. PS is also used in pesticide and mining chemicals applications, and emerging electric battery technologies. The Specialty Products segment also includes Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions (“IMS”), which is a manufacturer of electronic or electro-mechanical components of larger solutions. IMS has a flexible, vertically integrated production facility that allows it to acquire and produce a variety of product lines across a range of end markets, including communications infrastructure, energy infrastructure, defense systems, and industrial systems, with a substantial focus on aftermarket repair and replacement. We completed the acquisition of MMT in January 2026, and we expect that MMT will be part of our Specialty Products Segment. MMT provides highly engineered machinery and associated aftermarket consumables, parts, and services to support the production of complex medical devices as well as select highly engineered industrial and aerospace and defense use cases. MMT’s capabilities include original equipment manufacturing, including application-specific equipment and automation solutions for medical devices such as complex catheters, guidewires and microcoils, as well as aftermarket parts, services, and consumables. MMT’s full solution suite encompasses both original machinery and recurring aftermarket parts, services, and consumables. MMT has a global footprint of manufacturing locations serving approximately 50 countries. We expect that the MMT Acquisition will result in various benefits, including strategic diversification into medical manufacturing, access to new original equipment manufacturer customer relationships, recurring aftermarket revenue streams, new opportunities for disciplined tuck ‑ in acquisitions and the application of our operating model to drive margin improvement and cash generation. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the MMT Acquisition is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether our assets and businesses and the assets and businesses of MMT can be integrated in an efficient and effective manner. We financed the MMT Acquisition primarily with the net proceeds from the $550 million offering of 6.250% senior secured notes due 2034 completed by its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Perimeter Holdings, LLC, on January 2, 2026, together with cash on hand. The proceeds were used to pay the cash consideration for the acquisition and related fees and expenses. Prior to the acquisition of MMT in January 2026, we operated five business units within our two reporting segments. The business unit structure is meant to promote decentralized execution and accountability, and maintain the geography- and product-specific focus and granularity necessary to drive continued improvement in our key operational value drivers. Each business unit has a business unit manager, who is responsible for achieving targeted financial and operational results. Our focus is on maintaining our existing customers, expanding their utilization of our products and services, growing our business in the emerging technologies markets and growth through business acquisitions. When analyzing changes in the Results of Operations section below, we define our base business as our existing operations plus operations of an acquired business once it has been owned for a full four quarters after the date of acquisition. Known Trends and Uncertainties Fire Safety Segment The effective prevention, mitigation, and suppression of fires, including wildland, structural, and other types of fires, protects lives, homes and critical infrastructure while reducing harmful air quality levels caused by wildfire smoke and the release of CO ₂ emissions into the environment. Fire Safety products are mission critical and held to the highest quality standards given the extreme cost of failure. Key trends in the Fire Safety industry include: • Higher acres burned and longer fire seasons: The USDA Forest Service data of the last 40 years shows that the acreage burnedin the United States has increased over time. The ten-year trailing average of acres burned in the United States has increased from a ten-year trailing average of 3.3 million acres burned in 1997, to a ten-year trailing average of 7.0 million acres burned in 2025.The U.S. fire season is also lengthening on a consistent basis. According to a 2024 report published by U.S. Department ofAgriculture, the U.S. fire season is on average 78 days longer than it was in the 1970s. If acreage burned continues to increase and the fire season continues to lengthen, we expect the demand and usage of fire retardant to increase. In addition, proactiveinitial attack strategies by government agencies can drive earlier and more consistent use of fire retardant throughout the fireseason. 2 5 2 5 35

Table of Contents • Increasing wildland urban interfaces: Urban development is pushing farther out of cities and into the wilderness for bothprimary and secondary residences. As of 2020, the Wildland-Urban Interface (“WUI”) now includes 32% of all homes in the United States although it occupies 9.4% of the land area in the United States. According to Proceedings of the National Academyof Sciences of the United States of America, when homes are built in the WUI, we expect that there will be more wildfires due tohuman ignitions, and wildfires that occur will pose a greater risk to lives and homes. As the WUI expands and the number ofhomes at risk from wildland fires increases, we expect the use of retardant to protect property and life from threatening wildfires to increase. • Increasing firefighting aircraft capacity and usage: The size and capacity of the firefighting aircraft fleet is a key driver of theamount of fire retardant consumed annually because demand for retardant typically outpaces available aircraft capacity, asevidenced by data regarding the inability to fill aerial firefighting requests published by the National Interagency Fire Center. Since 2010, U.S. aircraft capacity increased significantly and is expected to further increase. Increasing air tanker capacity andmodernization is a global trend, with more, larger, and more sophisticated tankers being used in various parts of the world. • Move toward Fluorine Free Firefighting Foams: There is an accelerating transition in the fire suppression market towardsproducts that do not contain intentionally added Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. We expect Fluorine-Free Foams (“FFF”) to account for a growing percentage of the firefighting foam market over the next several years. We believe that we are a leader inthe FFF market. Specialty Products Segment PS is primarily used in the preparation of lubricant additives. The consumption of lubricant additives is driven by the social and economic trends globally of increased vehicle production and miles driven. The number of global miles driven has generally increasedover time resulting in more engine wear and tear and increased demand for motor oil. Secondary markets for PS include agriculturalapplications in the production of intermediates for pesticides and insecticides, flotation chemistry in the mining industry, for certain batterytechnologies, and for hydraulic and cutting fluids. IMS demand is primarily driven by recurring aftermarket repair and replacement needs for installed systems across its end markets. Weather Conditions and Climate Trends Our financial condition and results of operations are significantly impacted by weather as well as environmental and other factors affecting climate change, which impact the number and severity of fires in any given year. Historically, sales of our products have been higher in the summer season in the northern hemisphere of each fiscal year due to weather patterns which are generally correlated to a higher prevalence of wildfires. This is in part offset by the disbursement of our operations in both the northern and southern hemispheres, where the summer seasons alternate. Global Economic Environment In recent years, the global economy and labor markets have experienced significant inflationary pressures attributable to ongoing economic recovery and supply chain issues, in part due to the impacts of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. While the Company has limited exposure in regions with active conflicts, it continues to monitor and take actions with its customers and suppliers to mitigate the impact of these inflationary pressures in the future. Actions to mitigate inflationary pressures with suppliers include aggregation of purchase requirements to achieve optimal volume benefits, negotiation of cost-reductions and identification of more cost competitive suppliers. While these actions are designed to offset the impact of inflationary pressures, the Company cannot provide assurance that they will be successful in fully offsetting increased costs resulting from inflationary pressure. In addition, interest payments for borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility are based on variable rates, and any continued increase in interest rates may reduce the Company’s cash flow available for other corporate purposes. Additionally, amid broader volatility in the global economy, certain raw materials and components used in our manufacturing processes may be subject to announced tariffs on imported goods by the United States, Canada, and other countries. However, tariffs have not had, and we do not currently expect tariffs to have, a material impact on our financial position or results of operations, as substantially all of the Company’s products sold in the United States are supported by domestic manufacturing capabilities. The Company prioritizes sourcing raw materials domestically and continues to maintain alternative supply sources. Although the ultimate impact of tariff policies, coupled with broader macroeconomic challenges, remains uncertain, the Company is actively monitoring developments to identify necessary actions to maintain its competitiveness and adapt to changing economic conditions. 2 5 2 5 36

Net sales increased by $91.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. Net sales in the Fire Safety segment increased $52.7 million, representing higher fire retardant sales of $30.9 million, and higher fire suppressant sales of $21.8 million. Fire retardant sales increased $12.6 million in North America and $18.3 million in other geographies. In the United States, sales of fire retardant products rose despite a decline in total acres burned. This increase primarily reflected a more proactive initial attack strategy by U.S. agencies, and the continued successful implementation of the Company’s strategies on profitable new business. Fire Suppressant sales increased $19.0 million in North America, primarily driven by increased sales to governmental agencies, and increased $2.8 million in other geographies. Net sales in the Specialty Products segment increased $39.2 million, including a $41.2 million increase in revenue due to recently acquired businesses, offset by a $2.0 million decrease in the base business primarily due to unplanned downtime at our tolling facility in Sauget, Illinois, operated by Flexsys Chemical Company, that primarily serves our PS customers in North America. The Company considers that revenue attributable to base business includes revenue from an acquired business that has been owned for a full four quarters after the date of acquisition. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $33.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Cost of goods sold increased in the Fire Safety segment by $1.3 million and increased by $32.5 million in the Specialty Products segment, which was primarily due to an increase of $28.4 million from recently acquired businesses. Selling, General and Administrative Expense. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $4.0 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and an $8.6 million increase in other personnel-related expenses, which was primarily related to recently acquired businesses. Founder advisory fees - related party. The founder advisory fees - related party represents the change in the fair value of the liability-classified Fixed Annual Advisory Amount and Variable Annual Advisory Amount (collectively, the “Annual Advisory Amounts”). The increase in the fair value of the Annual Advisory Amounts for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $435.2 million was primarily due to an increase in the Company’s average price per share from $12.85 as of December 31, 2024 to $27.89 as of December 31, 2025. The increase in the fair value of the Annual Advisory 2 5 37

Table of Contents Amounts for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $198.3 million was primarily due to an increase in the Company’s average price per share from $4.51 as of December 31, 2023 to $12.85 as of December 31, 2024. Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit decreased by $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to changes in earnings in jurisdictions that were not covered by a valuation allowance and the impact of non-deductible compensation and accrued withholding taxes on the effective tax rate. Business Segments Segment Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Segment Adjusted EBITDA”) is defined asincome (loss) before income taxes plus net interest and other financing expenses, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted on a consistent basis for certain non-recurring, unusual or non-operational items. These items include (i) restructuring, (ii) acquisition relatedcosts, (iii) founder advisory fee expenses, (iv) stock-based compensation expense and (v) foreign currency (gain) loss. We use SegmentAdjusted EBITDA, to evaluate operating performance by segment, for business planning purposes and to allocate resources. Thefollowing tables provide information for our net sales and Segment Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2025 Year Ended December 31, 2024 Fire Safety Specialty Products Total Fire Safety Specialty Products Total Net sales $ 488,941 $ 163,921 $ 652,862 $ 436,274 $ 124,694 $ 560,968 Segment Adjusted EBITDA $ 290,487 $ 41,203 $ 331,690 $ 240,121 $ 40,173 $ 280,294 Segment Adjusted EBITDA for our Fire Safety segment increased by $50.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher net sales, as described above. Costs grew at a slower pace than revenues due to strong cost control, product mix and fixed costs leverage. Segment Adjusted EBITDA for our Specialty Products segment for the year ended December 31, 2025 was relatively flat compared to the same period in 2024 as contributions from recently acquired businesses were partially offset by unplanned downtime at the Sauget, Illinois tolling facility, as discussed above, which caused higher costs despite lower revenue. The following table provides a reconciliation of financial measures that are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) to Non-GAAP measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide investors with a better understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and future results. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when it internally evaluates the performance of its business and makes operating decisions, including internal operating budgeting, performance measurement, and discretionary compensation. Segment Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP (in thousands).

Table of Contents Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023 For a detailed discussion of our consolidated results of operations for December 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023, refer to Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025. Liquidity and Capital Resources We have historically funded our operations primarily through cash flows from operations, borrowings under our amended and restated revolving credit facility, and the issuance of debt and equity securities. However, future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the length and severity of the fire season, growth of the wildland urban interface and the availability of air tanker capacity, and higher costs from inflation, all of which could negatively impact revenues, earnings and cash flows, and potentially our liquidity if we do not moderate our expenditures accordingly. We have the following financing arrangements in place to, among other things, fund our operations and supplement our liquidity position. Revolving Credit Facility On December 19, 2025, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a credit agreement for its five-year revolving credit facility (the “Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility”), which provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200.0 million. The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility matures on December 19, 2030. The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility includes a $40.0 million swingline sub-facility and a $50.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Company incurred $2.2 million of deferred finance fees as a result of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility for the year ended December 31, 2025. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to (i) an applicable margin, plus (ii) at the Company’s option, either (x) Secured Overnight Financing Rate for the applicable corresponding tenor (“Term SOFR”) as published by CME Group Benchmark Administration, subject to a Floor of 1.00% or (y) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the prime commercial lending rate published by the Wall Street Journal, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (c) the one-month Term SOFR rate plus 1.00% and (d) 1.00%. The applicable margin is 2.75% in the case of Term SOFR-based loans and 1.75% in the case of base rate-based loans, with two step-ups of 0.25% each based upon the achievement of certain leverage ratios. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility and was in compliance with all covenants, including the financial covenants. Senior Notes On November 9, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company assumed $675.0 million principal amount of 5.00% senior secured notes due October 30, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), under an indenture dated as of October 22, 2021. The 2029 Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 5.00%. Interest on the 2029 Notes is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on April 30 and October 30 of each year. On January 2, 2026, Perimeter Holdings, LLC (“Perimeter Holdings”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed its offering of $550 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior secured notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes”) in transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The 2034 Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of January 2, 2026. The 2034 Notes mature on January 15, 2034, and bear interest at a rate of 6.250% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2026. The Company used the net proceeds of the 2034 Notes, together with cash on hand, to pay the cash consideration for the acquisition of MMT and related fees and expenses. The 2029 Notes and the 2034 Notes are general, secured, senior obligations of Perimeter Holdings; rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of Perimeter Holdings (including, without limitation, the 39
Page 40
Table of Contents Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility); and together with the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility, are effectively senior to all existing and future indebtedness that is not secured by the collateral. The 2029 Notes and the 2034 Notes are subject to customary negative covenants, including but not limited to, certain limitations, including among other things, the ability to declare or pay dividends or make certain other payments, purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value any equity interests or otherwise make any restricted payments, conduct certain asset sales, make certain restricted investments; incur certain indebtedness, grant certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of the assets of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The indentures governing the 2029 Notes and the 2034 Notes also contain customary events of default and remedies (including acceleration). As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants, including financial covenants. For additional information about our long-term debt, refer to Note 7, “Long-Term Debt and Preferred Stock” and Note 18, “Subsequent Events” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. Share Repurchase Plan Under the Share Repurchase Plan, we are authorized to repurchase, from time-to-time, shares of our Common Stock through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or in such other manner as permitted by securities law and as determined by management at such time and in such amounts as management may decide. The Share Repurchase Plan does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases are determined by management in its discretion and depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. On August 6, 2025, the Board re-established the limit for Common Stock repurchases at $100.0 million. The Company expects to periodically re-establish the limit for Common Stock repurchases based on subsequent repurchase activity. The approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Plan was $100.0 million as of December 31, 2025. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 3,774,675 and 2,988,291 shares, respectively. The repurchased shares are recorded at cost and are being held in treasury. For additional information about our Share Repurchase Plan, refer to Item 5, “Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities,” and Note 10, “Equity,” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. Founder Advisory Agreement On December 12, 2019, EverArc and the EverArc Founder Entity entered into the Founder Advisory Agreement (as assumed by the Company) to provide incentives to the EverArc Founders to achieve the Company’s objectives. In exchange for the services provided to the Company, including strategic and capital allocation advice, the EverArc Founder Entity is entitled to receive both a Fixed Annual Advisory Amount and a Variable Annual Advisory Amount until the years ending December 31, 2027 and 2031, respectively. Under the Founder Advisory Agreement, at the election of the EverArc Founder Entity, at least 50% of the Advisory Amounts will be paid in shares of Common Stock and the remainder in cash. The Fixed Annual Advisory Amount is equal to 2,357,061 shares of Common Stock (1.5% of 157,137,410 shares outstanding as of November 9, 2021) for each year through December 31, 2027 and valued using the period end volume weighted average closing share price of the Company’s Common Stock for ten consecutive trading days. The Variable Annual Advisory Amount for each year through December 31, 2031 is based on the appreciation of the market price of the Company’s Common Stock if such market price exceeds certain trading price minimums at the end of each reporting period and is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Because up to 50% of the aggregate shares could be settled through a cash payment, 50% are classified as a liability and the remaining 50% is classified within equity. For Advisory Amounts classified within equity, the Company does not subsequently remeasure the fair value. For the Advisory Amounts classified as a liability, the Company remeasures the fair value at each reporting date. As a result, the compensation expense recorded by the Company in the future will depend upon changes in the fair value of the liability-classified Advisory Amounts. As of December 31, 2025, the Advisory Amounts payable to the EverArc Founder Entity over the remaining term of the Founder Advisory Agreement, excluding the portion payable for the 2025 Annual Advisory Amount, was $881.4 million. The fair value of the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount was calculated to be $131.3 million based on the period end 40
Page 41
Table of Contents volume weighted average closing share price for ten consecutive trading days of Common Stock of $27.89 and the fair value of the Variable Annual Advisory Amount was determined to be $750.1 million using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For 2025, the EverArc Founder Entity is entitled to receive a Fixed Annual Advisory Amount of 2,357,061 shares of Common Stock or a value of $65.7 million, based on an average price of $27.89 per share (the “2025 Fixed Amount”). The EverArc Founder Entity is also entitled to receive a Variable Annual Advisory Amount for 2025 of 14,462,123 shares of Common Stock, or a value of $403.4 million (the “2025 Variable Amount” and together with the 2025 Fixed Amount, the “2025 Advisory Amounts”). The EverArc Founder Entity elected to receive approximately 79.6% of the 2025 Advisory Amounts in shares of Common Stock (13,387,002 Common Shares) and approximately 20.4% of the 2025 Advisory Amounts in cash ($95.7 million). To satisfy the 2025 Advisory Amounts, the Company paid $95.7 million in cash on February 19, 2026 and expects to issue 13,387,002 shares of Common Stock in the first quarter of 2026. For additional information about the Founder Advisory Agreement, refer to Note 13, “Related Parties,” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents of approximately $325.9 million, net cash flows generated from operations, availability under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2025, and proceeds from the 2034 Notes will be sufficient to meet our current capital expenditures, working capital, founders’ advisory fee payments, debt service requirements, and consideration payable for the MMT acquisition for at least 12 months from the filing date of this Annual Report. Our fiscal year 2026 capital expenditure authorization is approximately $35 million, which we expect will cover both our maintenance and growth capital expenditure requirements. We may also utilize borrowings available to us under various other financing sources, including the issuance of equity and/or debt securities through public offerings or private placements, to fund our acquisitions, pay the 2025 Advisory Amounts and meet long-term liquidity needs. Our ability to complete future offerings of equity or debt securities and the timing of these offerings will depend upon various factors including prevailing market conditions and our financial condition. Cash flows The summary of our cash flows is as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 Cash provided by (used in): Operating activities $ 238,149 $ 188,388 Investing activities (106,817) (42,940) Financing activities (8,971) 8,349 Effect of foreign currency on cash and cash equivalents 5,110 (2,617) Net change in cash and cash equivalents $ 127,471 $ 151,180 Operating Activities Cash provided by operating activities was $238.1 million and $188.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the primary components of operating cash flows were net loss of $206.4 million, non-cash charges of $464.9 million and net operating asset investments of $20.4 million. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the primary components of operating cash flows were net loss of $5.9 million, non-cash charges of $193.7 million and net operating asset reductions of $0.6 million. The non-cash charges for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were primarily related to Founders advisory fees, offset by deferred income taxes. Investing Activities Cash used in investing activities was $106.8 million and $42.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we purchased businesses for $62.0 million, purchased property and equipment of $29.6 million, and purchased intangible assets of $15.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we purchased a business for $32.8 million and purchased property and equipment of $15.5 million 41

Financing Activities Cash (used in) provided by financing activities was $(9.0) million and $8.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased shares of outstanding Common Stock for $40.4 million, paid $2.2 million for credit facility financing fees, and made $0.9 million in principal payments on finance lease obligations offset by $34.5 million in proceeds from exercises of options. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased outstanding Ordinary Shares for $14.4 million and made $0.7 million in principal payments on finance lease obligations offset by $23.5 million in proceeds from exercises of warrants. Year Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2023 For a detailed discussion of our Liquidity and Capital Resources for December 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023, refer to Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025. Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which often requires the judgment of management in the selection and application of certain accounting principles and methods. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates and judgments. We based our estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could, therefore, differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have identified the following estimates as our most critical accounting estimates, which are those that are most important to aid in fully understanding and evaluating the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and that require management’s most subjective and complex judgments. Information regarding our other significant accounting estimates and policies are described in more detail in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. We believe that the following accounting estimates and policies are most critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Stock-Based Compensation We have granted equity-based awards consisting of performance-based non-qualified stock options ("PBNQSO") to key employees, officers and directors. The PBNQSO are subject to performance conditions such that the number of awards that ultimately vest depends on the calculation of annual operational performance per diluted share (“AOP”) during the performance period compared to targets established at the award date. The probability assessments of achieving the AOP targets is determined using estimated Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and diluted shares. The Company recognizes compensation costs related to PBNQSO granted to employees and non- employees based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant using the Hull-White model as this model considers the future movement in the price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock and option holders’ behavior with respect to option exercises. The Hull-White model requires us to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the sub-optimal exercise factor, drift rate, the blended volatility based on the Company’s trading history of its shares of Common Stock and on the trading history from the common stock of a set of comparable publicly listed companies, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. Changes in assumptions made on the risk-free interest rate and expected volatility can materially impact the estimate of fair value and ultimately how much stock-based compensation expense is recognized. Service-based restricted stock units are valued using the market price of our shares of Common Stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units is expensed on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period. 42

Table of Contents Under the Founder Advisory Agreement, in exchange for the services provided to the Company, including strategic and capital allocation advice, the EverArc Founders Entity is entitled to receive both a Fixed Annual Advisory Amount and a Variable Annual Advisory Amount until the years ending December 31, 2027 and 2031, respectively. At the election of the EverArc Founders Entity, at least 50% of the Advisory Amounts will be paid in shares of Common Stock and the remainder in cash. The Fixed Annual Advisory Amount will be equal to 2,357,061 shares of Common Stock (1.5% of 157,137,410 shares outstanding as of November 9, 2021) for each year through December 31, 2027 and valued using the period end volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock for ten consecutive trading days. The Variable Annual Advisory Amount for each year through December 31, 2031 is based on the appreciation of the market price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock if such market price exceeds certain trading price minimums at the end of each reporting period. This liability is estimated at the end of each reporting period using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of certain assumptions, including the volatility based on the Company’s trading history of its shares of Common Stock, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. Changes in assumptions made on the risk-free interest rate and expected volatility can materially impact the estimate of fair value and ultimately how much founder advisory fee expense is recognized. Business Combinations We account for our business combinations using the acquisition accounting method, which requires us to determine and recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair value, including any contingent consideration and the recognition of acquisition-related costs in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Accounting for business combinations requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions at the acquisition date, including estimates of the fair value of acquired inventory, property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, contractual obligations assumed, preacquisition contingencies, if applicable, and equity issued. Significant assumptions relevant to the determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed may from time to time include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows, discount rates, royalty rates, and other assumptions. The approach to valuing an initial contingent consideration associated with the purchase price also uses similar unobservable factors such as projected revenues and expenses over the term of the contingent earn-out period, discounted for the period over which the initial contingent consideration is measured, and relevant volatility rates. Based upon these assumptions, the initial contingent consideration is then valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. These significant assumptions are based on company specific information and projections, which are not observable in the market and, therefore, are considered Level 2 and Level 3 measurements. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future changes in economic and market conditions. We generally use third-party qualified consultants to assist management in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This includes, when necessary, assistance with the determination of economic useful lives and valuation of property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets. The purchase price allocation process also entails us to refine these estimates over a measurement period not to exceed one year to reflect new information obtained surrounding facts and circumstances existing at acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. New Accounting Standards For information about new accounting standards, see Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, short-term interest rates and price fluctuations of certain material commodities in the ordinary course of our business. We do not engage in significant hedging activities with respect to the market risks to which we are exposed. From time to time, we may enter into limited arrangements to manage specific risk exposures. However, such activity is not material to our overall risk profile or financial results. 43
Page 44
Table of Contents Foreign Currency Risk Foreign currency exchange risks are attributable to sales to foreign customers and purchases from foreign suppliers not denominated in a location’s functional currency, foreign plant operations, intercompany indebtedness, intercompany investments and include exposures to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Norwegian krone and Australian dollar. Transactions that are paid in a foreign currency are remeasured into U.S. dollars and recorded in the consolidated financial statements at prevailing currency exchange rates. A reduction in the value of the U.S. dollar against currencies of other countries could result in the use of additional cash to settle operating, administrative and tax liabilities. Interest Rate Risk For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of such debt, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. We are subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility. Interest on borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility is based on Term SOFR plus or base rate plus an applicable margin. At December 31, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, on November 9, 2021, the Company issued 10 million 6.50% Preferred Stock, valued at $100.0 million. The holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to a preferred annual cumulative right to a dividend equal to 6.50%. The shares of Preferred Stock are mandatorily redeemable on occurrence of certain events, but no later than April 30, 2030. If we fail to timely redeem the shares of Preferred Stock, the dividend on the shares of Preferred Stock will permanently increase to the interest rate currently being paid (whether default or not) under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility plus 10.00%. Commodity Price Risk Our realized margins depend on the differential of sales prices over our total supply costs. Generally, we attempt to maintain an inventory position that is substantially balanced between our purchases and sales, including our future delivery obligations. However, market, weather or other conditions beyond our control may disrupt our expected supply of product, and we may be required to obtain supply at increased prices that cannot be passed through to our customers. For example, some of our material supply contracts follow market prices, which may fluctuate through the year, while our product sales prices may be fixed on a quarterly or annual basis, and therefore, fluctuations in our material supply may not be passed through to our customers and can produce an adverse effect on our margins. 44

Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors Perimeter Solutions, Inc.: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Perimeter Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 26, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Assessment of the probability of achieving the vesting performance criteria of option awards As discussed in Notes 2 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on performance-based non-qualified stock options (PBNQSO) based on probability assessments of achieving an annual operational performance per diluted share (AOP) target during the performance period, which is determined using estimated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), net debt and diluted shares. At each reporting period, the Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance condition required to meet those vesting targets; therefore, unrecognized compensation expense is subject to future changes in the estimate. The Company recorded $16.6 million in stock-based compensation expense for these PBNQSO awards for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $23.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested portion of these PBNQSO awards. 46

Table of Contents We identified the assessment of the probability of achieving the vesting performance criteria of option awards as a critical audit matter. Evaluating certain assumptions used in the Company’s determination of the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved for these PBNQSO awards involved subjective auditor judgment. Specifically, judgment was required to assess the probability of meeting the Company’s future performance targets, including forecasted revenue, cost of goods sold, net debt and diluted shares. These key assumptions were especially challenging to audit as they were forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s process to evaluate the probability of achieving the vesting performance criteria of these PBNQSO awards, including controls over the determination of the key assumptions. We assessed the reasonableness of the Company’s forecasted revenue, cost of goods sold, net debt and diluted shares used to estimate the AOP target by: (1) comparing such assumptions to historical operating performance, (2) evaluating the consistency of these assumptions with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit, and (3) comparing the Company’s forecasted assumptions to external market data and industry data. We compared the Company’s historical revenue forecasts to actual results to assess the Company’s ability to accurately forecast. Fair value of a customer list intangible asset acquired in a business combination As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, on November 14, 2025, the Company consummated an acquisition of an electro-optical products business for a total purchase price of $40.0 million. In connection with the business combination, the Company recorded a customer list intangible asset with a preliminary acquisition date fair value of $16.9 million. The Company used an income approach, the multi-period excess earnings method, to calculate the acquisition date fair value of the customer list intangible asset. We identified the evaluation of the preliminary acquisition date fair value of the customer list intangible asset acquired as a critical audit matter. Subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the customer list intangible asset, including revenue and gross profit projections, customer attrition rate and the discount rate for the customer list intangible asset. Revenue and gross profit projections include subjective determinations of future market and economic conditions that were also sensitive to variation. In addition, specialized skills and knowledge were required in the evaluation of the customer attrition rate and discount rate. The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s business combination process, including controls over the key assumptions above. We evaluated the revenue and gross profit projections by comparing them to historical growth rates of the acquired business, existing contract backlog and inquiring of individuals outside of the accounting function about projected revenue and gross profit of the acquired business and the process used to develop those projections. We performed sensitivity analyses over the Company’s revenue and gross profit projections used to determine the fair value of the customer list intangible asset acquired to assess the impact of changes in those assumptions on the Company’s determination of fair value. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in: • evaluating the customer attrition rate by comparing it to historical customer attrition experienced by the acquired business • evaluating the discount rate by comparing the discount rate used by the Company to discount rates that were independently developed using publicly available market data for comparable entities and performing a weighted average return on assets reconciliation /s/ KPMG LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2024.

Table of Contents REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors Perimeter Solutions, Inc.: Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting We have audited Perimeter Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 26, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The Company acquired three businesses during 2025 and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, the three businesses’ internal control over financial reporting associated with total consolidated assets of approximately 2.0% and total consolidated revenues of approximately 2% included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of these three businesses. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 48
Page 49
Table of Contents Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ KPMG LLP St. Louis, Missouri February 26, 2026 49

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Business Operations Perimeter Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading provider of industrial products and services that support critical and complex customer missions across a range of niche applications. Our current operations span firefighting products, lubricant additives, electronic components and, following the acquisition of Medical Manufacturing Technologies, LLC (“MMT”) in January 2026, highly engineered machinery for the medical device industry. The Company conducts its operations globally, with approximately 76% of annual revenues derived in the United States, approximately 10% in Europe and approximately 7% in Canada, with the remaining approximately 7% spread across various other countries. The Company’s business is organized and managed in two reporting segments: Fire Safety and Specialty Products. The Fire Safety Segment is a formulator and manufacturer of fire management products that help the Company’s customers combat various types of fires, including wildland, industrial structural, flammable liquids and other types of fires. The Fire Safety Segment also offers specialized equipment and services, typically in conjunction with our fire management products to support the Company’s customers’ firefighting operations. The Company’s specialized equipment includes airbase retardant storage, mixing, and delivery equipment; mobile retardant bases; retardant ground application units; mobile foam equipment; and equipment that the Company custom designs and manufactures to meet specific customer needs. The Specialty Products Segment develops, produces and markets products for non-fire safety markets. The Specialty Products Segment includes Phosphorus Derivatives, Inc., which produces Phosphorus Pentasulfide (“PS”) based lubricant additives. PS is also used in pesticide and mining chemicals applications, and emerging electric battery technologies. The Specialty Products Segment alsoincludes Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions (“IMS”), which is a manufacturer of electronic or electro-mechanical components of larger solutions. IMS has a flexible, vertically integrated production facility that allows it to acquire and produce a variety of product lines across a range of end markets, including communications infrastructure, energy infrastructure, defense systems, and industrial systems, with a substantial focus on aftermarket repair and replacement. The Company completed the acquisition of MMT in January 2026, and the Company expects that MMT will be part of its Specialty Products Segment. MMT provides highly engineered machinery and associated aftermarket consumables, parts, and services to support the production of complex medical devices as well as select highly engineered industrial and aerospace and defense use cases. MMT’s capabilities include original equipment manufacturing, including application specific equipment and automation solutions for medical devices such as complex catheters, guidewires and microcoils, as well as aftermarket parts, services, and consumables. Organization and General On November 20, 2024, Perimeter Solutions, SA, a public limited liability company duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, having its registered office at 28, Boulevard F.W. Raiffeisen, L-2411 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés, Luxembourg) under number B 256.548 (“Perimeter Luxembourg”), consummated the conversion (the “Redomiciliation Transaction” or “domestication”) of Perimeter Luxembourg into a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, after which Perimeter Luxembourg continues as an entity under the name “Perimeter Solutions, Inc.” (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”). The domestication was completed in accordance with articles 100-2, 100-3 and 1300-2 of the Luxembourg law dated August 10, 1915 on commercial companies, as amended (the “Luxembourg Company Law”), the procedures of article 450-3 et seq. of the Luxembourg Company Law, and the domestication procedures of Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), pursuant to which the Company continued its legal existence in Delaware as if Perimeter Luxembourg had originally been incorporated under Delaware law. Upon consummation of the Redomiciliation Transaction, each of Perimeter Luxembourg’s issued (i) ordinary shares, with a nominal value of $1.00 per share (the “Lux Ordinary Shares”) and (ii) redeemable preferred shares, with a nominal value of $10.00 each (the “Lux Preferred Shares”), automatically converted by operation of law on a one-for-one 2 5 2 5 56

Table of Contents basis into (i) shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) shares of preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), respectively, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). The Common Stock continues to be listed for trading under symbol “PRM” on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), which is the same trading symbol as the Lux Ordinary Shares traded under prior to the Redomiciliation Transaction. As a result of the Redomiciliation Transaction, the Company became the successor issuer to Perimeter Luxembourg pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements for the prior periods include certain reclassifications that were made to conform to the current period presentation. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned, after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management in connection with the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the fair value of purchase consideration and assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, stock options, and founder advisory fees. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks. For purposes of reporting cash and cash equivalents, the Company considers all deposits with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company deposits cash with financial institutions that management believes is of high credit quality, and cash balances in bank accounts, at times, exceeds federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses from maintaining cash balances in excess of such limits. Short-term Investments Short-term investments represent investments in certificate of deposits with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of acquisition and are stated at carrying value, which approximates estimated fair value. Interest on short- term investments is recorded and is presented as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts due from customers for products or services provided. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable based on management's estimate for expected credit losses for outstanding accounts receivables. The Company determines expected credit losses based upon a number of factors, including historical experience, the likelihood of payment from its customers, and any other known specific factors associated with its customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable and reassess the adequacy of the allowance each reporting period. Account balances are charged-off 57

Table of Contents against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for doubtful accounts was immaterial. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined using the the weighted-average cost method, or net realizable value. The Company evaluates inventories periodically during each reporting period for obsolete, excess, or slow-moving products and will record any adjustment, if necessary, to report these items at an estimated net realizable value. Property, Plant and Equipment, Net Property, plant and equipment acquired in business combinations are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the consolidated balance sheets and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income in the period realized. Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Years Buildings 30–40 Years Furniture and fixtures 1–8 Years Machinery and equipment 1–26 Years Vehicles 1–8 Years Leasehold improvements Shorter of remaining lease term or estimated useful life Business Combinations The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition accounting method, which requires it to determine the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration, and record any residual purchase price as goodwill. The Company records assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair value at the date of acquisition. Management uses its best estimates and assumptions to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Such estimates are inherently uncertain and may be subject to refinement. If the initial accounting for the business combination has not been completed by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurs, provisional amounts are reported to present information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. During the measurement period of up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill, to the extent such information was not available to the Company at the acquisition date to determine such amounts. Accounting for business combinations requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions at the acquisition date, including estimates of the fair value of acquired inventory, property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets, contractual obligations assumed, preacquisition contingencies, where applicable, and equity issued. Significant assumptions relevant to the determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed include, but are not limited to, future expected cash flows, discount rates, royalty rates, and other assumptions. The approach to valuing the initial contingent consideration associated with the purchase price also uses similar unobservable factors such as projected revenues and expenses over the term of the contingent earn-out period, discounted for the period over which the initial contingent consideration is measured, and relevant volatility rates. Based upon these assumptions, the initial contingent consideration is then valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. All acquisition-related costs, other than the costs to issue debt or equity securities, are accounted for as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements that are not measurement period adjustments are recognized in earnings. 58

Table of Contents Goodwill Goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite life and is assessed for impairment annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently when events or circumstances occur that indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit or an intangible asset is less than its carrying value. The Company conducts an annual impairment test on October 1st each year. Depending on the facts and circumstances, the impairment test for goodwill can be performed using either a qualitative or quantitative approach. The qualitative approach consists of a weighting of several qualitative factors, including, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions (including changes in interest rates and discount rates), industry and market considerations, the recent and projected financial performance of the reporting unit, changes in the Company's enterprise market value and other relevant factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. This assessment can require significant judgments, including the estimation of future cash flows and an assessment of market and industry dependent risks. If the assessment of all relevant qualitative factors indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, a quantitative goodwill impairment test is not necessary. If the assessment of all relevant qualitative factors indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company will perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company has the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment. The Company performed a qualitative analysis on October 1, 2025, the date of the Company’s annual impairment assessment, and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units are greater than the respective carrying amounts. There was no impairment of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023. Intangible Assets Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which vary depending on the type of intangible assets. Costs to maintain and extend intangible assets are expensed as incurred. In determining the estimated useful lives of definite-lived intangible assets, the Company considers the nature, competitive position, life cycle position and historical and expected future operating cash flows of each acquired assets, as well as its commitment to support these assets through continued investment and legal infringement protection. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets include acquired property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Such events and changes may include significant changes in performance relative to expected operating results, significant changes in asset use, significant negative industry or economic trends, and changes in the Company’s business strategy. The Company determines the recoverability of such assets by comparing an asset’s respective carrying value to estimates of the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its asset group. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of long-lived assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company determined there was an impairment in a long-lived technology asset. See Note 5, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information related to the impairment of long-lived assets. There were no impairments of long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of promised goods and services to the customer. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. A company also is required to disclose sufficient quantitative and qualitative information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company derives its revenue from contracts with customers, which comprise of following principal activities as described: • Full-service air base fire retardant includes sales from the supply and service of fire retardant to designated air tanker bases. The Company provides fire retardant product, the related equipment, and service personnel who operate the related equipment at the designated air tanker bases for the period specified in the contract with respect to each designated air tanker base. Product revenues are recognized at the point in time when product is 59
Page 61
Table of Contents shipped and control is transferred to the customer, typically when the product is consumed by the customer. The component of service revenue is recognized ratably over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the services. The Company has entered into full-service contracts with the U.S. Forest Service (“USFS”) and the state of California. These contracts are between Perimeter Solutions and the USFS and/or the state of California for supply and service of long-term fire retardant to the designated air tanker bases of certain Government agencies. The revenue derived from these contracts is comprised of multiple performance obligations, namely product sales, providing operations and maintenance personnel services, leasing of specified equipment, and expedited delivery capabilities. The performance obligation for product sales is satisfied at a point in time, while the performance obligations for services and leases are a “stand-ready obligation” and the revenue is recognized straight-line over the service period. Control of a product is deemed to be transferred to the customer upon shipment or delivery. • Fire retardant, suppressant, and related equipment includes domestic and international sales of fire retardant and fire suppressant products. Product revenues are recognized at the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer which is upon shipment or delivery of the product to the customer, depending on the underlying contract terms. • Specialty Products includes domestic and international sales of specialty chemical and industrials products by the Company’s entities in the U.S. and Germany. Product revenues are recognized at the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer which is upon shipment or delivery of the product to the customer, depending on the underlying contract terms. The Company uses the policy election to account for the shipping and handling activities as activities to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer goods to the customer, rather than as a performance obligation. Accordingly, the costs of the shipping and handling activities are accrued for at the time of shipment. The transaction price of a contract, or the amount the Company expects to receive upon satisfaction of all performance obligations, is determined by reference to the contract’s terms and includes adjustments, if applicable, for any variable consideration, such as sales incentives, wherever these adjustments are material. For full service contracts the transaction price is variable and is based upon gallons of product consumed by the customer during the service period i.e., mobilization period, which typically lasts during May through September. The Company includes the estimated amount of variable consideration in transaction price that it expects to receive to the extent it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur. Sales and other taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue- producing transaction, which are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Payment terms vary by contract and sales to customers are deemed collectible at the time of sale based on customer history, prior credit checks, and controls around customer credit limits. The Company does provide for the right to return; however, most of the product is used at the point of purchase and returns are minimal. Therefore, there is no estimated obligation for returns. Standard terms of delivery are generally included in the Company's contracts of sale, order confirmation documents and invoices. Cost to Obtain Contract Incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs that are directly related to the acquisition of contracts, including sales commissions, and that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it is expected that the economic benefit and amortization period will be longer than one year. Costs to obtain contracts were not material in the periods presented. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue represents billings under non-cancelable contracts before the related product or service is transferred to the customer. The portion of deferred revenue that is anticipated to be recognized as revenue during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded as deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as deferred revenue, non-current. 60
Page 62
Table of Contents Certain contracts entered by the Company have a duration of one year or more. Any billings made to the customer during the financial year for which the related product or service is yet to be delivered on the cutoff date, i.e., December 31, is recognized as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue was immaterial as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. For full-service fire-retardant contracts, the Company identifies the fire-retardant product and the services as separate units of account. Substantially all performance obligations are satisfied by the end of the annual financial reporting period and the allocation of transaction price to each performance obligation does not have an impact on the recognition and measurement of revenues for the annual reporting period. There were no contract assets, contract obligations other than deferred revenue, or material rights as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Deferred Financing Fees As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, unamortized debt issue costs of $5.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively, for the Company's Senior Notes were carried as a contra liability and are amortized over the term of the related debt using the effective interest method. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, unamortized deferred financing costs of $2.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the Company’s five-year revolving credit facility (the “Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility”) were carried as a long-term asset and were amortized on a straight-line basis into interest expense over the term of the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility. Amortization of deferred financing fees was $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $1.2 million for Senior Notes and $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is presented as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset-and-liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, as well as loss and tax credit carryforwards and their respective tax bases measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented as non-current on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s tax positions are subject to income tax audits by multiple tax jurisdictions throughout the world. The Company recognizes the tax benefit of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the position will be sustainable upon examination by the taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. This evaluation is based on all available evidence and assumes that the tax authorities have full knowledge of all relevant information concerning the tax position. The tax benefit recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit which is more likely than not (greater than 50% likely) to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense (benefit). The Company makes adjustments to these reserves in accordance with the income tax guidance when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and operating results. Leases The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, real estate, vehicles, and field equipment. Such leases, some of which are noncancellable and, in many cases, include renewals, expire at various dates. Such options to renew are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The Company’s lease agreements 61
Page 63
Table of Contents typically do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants, and payments within certain lease agreements are adjusted periodically for changes in an index or rate. The Company does not currently sublease any of its ROU assets. The Company elects to apply the short-term lease exception for lease arrangements with a lease term of 12 months or less at commencement. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component. Lease terms used to compute the present value of lease payments do not include any option to extend, renew, or terminate the lease that the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise upon the lease inception. Accordingly, lease ROU assets and liabilities do not include leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less. The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease or a finance lease at inception. For both types of leases ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments, which cannot be determined at the lease commencement date, are not included in ROU assets or lease liabilities and are expensed as incurred. Finance lease ROU assets are amortized over the estimated useful life of the underlying asset with expenses presented in cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Finance lease liabilities are subsequently remeasured by increasing the liability to reflect interest accrued during the period and decreasing the liability to reflect payments made during the period. Interest expense incurred on finance leases is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Cash paid for operating leases and interest paid for finance leases are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows as operating activities and cash paid for finance lease principal is included in the financing activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. As most leases do not have readily determinable implicit rates, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rates for its future lease payments based on prevailing financial market conditions at the later of date of adoption or lease commencement, credit analysis of comparable companies and management judgments to determine the present values of its lease payments. The Company also applied the portfolio approach to account for leases with similar terms. Contingencies Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties, and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a single amount cannot be reasonably estimated but the cost can be estimated within a range, the Company accrues the minimum amount. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Foreign Currencies Prior to the Redomiciliation Transaction, the functional and reporting currencies for all Luxembourg entities were in U.S. dollars. The functional currency for the Company’s remaining non-U.S. subsidiaries is the local currency. The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date except for non-monetary assets and liabilities, which are measured at historical exchange rates and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for each respective reporting period. Adjustments resulting from translating local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. The Company does not recognize deferred taxes on translation adjustments from its investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured based on the exchange rates at the time of the transaction. Foreign currency gains and losses arising primarily from changes in exchange rates on foreign currency denominated intercompany loans and other intercompany transactions and balances between foreign locations are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. Realized and 62
Page 64
Table of Contents unrealized gains (losses) resulting from transactions conducted in foreign currencies for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $3.2 million, $(2.6) million and $1.4 million, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation Performance stock options The performance-based non-qualified stock options ("PBNQSO") granted to employees and non-employees are subject to performance conditions such that the number of awards that ultimately vest depends on the calculation of annual operational performance per diluted share (“AOP”) during the performance period compared to targets established at the award date. The Company recognizes compensation costs related to PBNQSO granted to employees and non-employees based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant using the Hull-White model as this model considers the future movement in the price of the Company’s shares of Common Stock and option holders’ behavior with respect to option exercises. The Hull-White model requires the Company to make assumptions and judgments about the variables used in the calculation, including the sub-optimal exercise factor, drift rate, the blended volatility based on the Company’s trading history of its Common Stock, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The Company’s sub-optimal exercise factor of 2.5 represents the expectation that the option will be exercised when the share price reaches 2.5 times the option’s exercise price. The Company’s drift rate represents the risk-free rate less the dividend yield. Changes in assumptions made on the risk-free interest rate and expected volatility can materially impact the estimate of fair value and ultimately how much stock-based compensation expense is recognized. The Company records forfeitures as they are incurred. The fair value of PBNQSO is expensed proportionately for each tranche over the applicable service period in which the performance conditions are deemed probable of achievement. The Company satisfies stock option exercises and the settlement of other equity awards through the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock. In the event that the PBNQSO do not meet the performance condition, the PBNQSO contain an equity sweep provision which allow for vesting if the market price of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds an amount equal to (i) two times the exercise price less (b) any dividends per share paid after the applicable grant date, on any 60 trading days within any 12-month period commencing on or after the first day of the third performance year covered by the 5-Year Option and ending on the last day of the fifth performance year covered by the 5-Year Option. Restricted stock units Restricted stock units are valued using the market price of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock units is expensed on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period. Founder Advisory Fees An advisory agreement was entered into on December 12, 2019 by EverArc ("Founder Advisory Agreement") with EverArc Founders, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("EverArc Founder Entity"), which was assumed by the Company in 2021. The EverArc Founder Entity, for the services provided to the Company, including strategic and capital allocation advice, will be entitled to receive both a fixed amount (the “Fixed Annual Advisory Amount”) and a variable amount (the “Variable Annual Advisory Amount,” each an “Advisory Amount” and collectively, the “Advisory Amounts”) until the years ending December 31, 2027 and 2031, respectively. Under the Founder Advisory Agreement, at the election of the EverArc Founder Entity, at least 50% of the Advisory Amounts will be paid in Common Stock and remainder in cash. The Advisory Amounts to be paid in Common Stock is recorded within stockholders’ equity at grant date fair value and the Advisory Amounts to be paid in cash is recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the Advisory Amounts classified as liabilities, the Company will remeasure the fair value at each reporting date. The Fixed Annual Advisory Amount will be equal to 2,357,061 shares of Common Stock (1.5% of 157,137,410 shares outstanding as of November 9, 2021) for each year through December 31, 2027 and valued using the period end volume weighted average closing share price of the Company’s Common Stock for ten consecutive trading days. The Variable Annual Advisory Amount for each year through December 31, 2031 is based on the appreciation of the 63
Page 65
Table of Contents market price of the Company’s Common Stock if such market price exceeds certain trading price minimums at the end of each reporting period and is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Fair Value Measurements The Company determines the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy, which establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. At December 31, 2025, the Company had $325.9 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions and the deposits with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. However, the Company regularly monitors the financial stability of its financial institutions and believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant default risk. For accounts receivable, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonpayment by customers to the extent of the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company had one customer represent 19% of the total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2025 and two customers represent 20% and 16%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2024. No other customer accounted for 10% or greater of total accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company had two customers in the Fire Safety segment that accounted for 32% and 11%, respectively, of total net sales during the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company had two customers in the Fire Safety segment that accounted for 34% and 11%, respectively, of total net sales during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company had one customer in the Fire Safety segment that accounted for 22% of total net sales during the year ended December 31, 2023. No other customer accounted for 10% or greater of total net sales during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. (Loss) Earnings Per Share The Company’s basic (loss) earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed based on the weighted average number of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the effect of the Company’s outstanding performance-based stock options, warrants and founders advisory fees for Common Stock if the inclusion of these items is dilutive. The treasury stock method is used in determining the amount of Common Stock assumed to be issued from the exercise of Common Stock equivalents. Reclassification In 2024, the Company changed the presentation of freight expense on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income from selling, general and administrative expense to cost of goods sold, to better match freight expense with freight income. The change has been applied retrospectively to the consolidated financial statements for the prior period presented in this Annual Report. The impact to the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the year ended December 31, 2023 is presented in the following table (in thousands). 64
Page 66
Table of Contents There was no impact on previously reported balances in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets or statements of cash flows. Year Ended December 31, 2023 As Previously Reported As Adjusted Effect of Change Cost of goods sold $ 183,253 $ 193,813 $ 10,560 Gross profit 138,855 128,295 (10,560) Selling, general and administrative expense 57,073 46,513 (10,560) Total operating expenses 44,405 33,845 (10,560) Operating income 94,450 94,450 — Net income 67,486 67,486 — Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-05,Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which allows all entities to apply a practical expedient when estimating expected credit losses that assumes current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the asset’s remaining life. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Although the ASU requires comparative disclosures for all periods presented, entities will be permitted to begin applying the guidance prospectively. Therefore, comparative disclosures are not required for reporting periods beginning before the effective date. Entities can elect to apply this ASU retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to disclose disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and reporting currency amounts for specific standardized categories, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU prospectively for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2025. While the adoption of this standard expanded the Company’s disclosures within the “Income Taxes” note on its Form 10-K, the adoption did not have any impact on its financial position or results of operations. 65

Table of Contents 4. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS 2024 Acquisition On December 24, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of IMS DE Holdings, LLC (“IMS”), which is included within the Company’s Specialty Products segment. Based in New Hampshire, IMS is a manufacturer of electronic or electro-mechanical components of larger solutions. The acquisition was made to expand the Company’s manufacturing capabilities and allow it to acquire and produce a variety of product lines across a range of end markets, with a substantial focus on aftermarket repair and replacement. Consideration paid consisted of $32.8 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and there was no contingent consideration. The Company used the acquisition method of accounting for the transaction and has reflected the value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed in the consolidated balance sheet, including accounts receivable, inventories, intangible assets, goodwill, and accounts payable. The acquisitiondate fair value of the technology and customer list intangible assets were $7.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The Company used an income approach, the multi-period excess earnings method, to calculate the acquisition date fair value of the customer list intangible assets and the relief-from-royalty method to calculate the acquisition date fair value of the technology intangible asset. Goodwill of $11.9 million was recognized as a result of expected synergies, assembled workforce, and other intangible benefits, all of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Assumptions made by the Company in determining the acquisition date fair value related to revenue and gross profit projections, customer attrition rates, contributory asset charges, and the discount rate for the customer relationships, and revenue projections, a technology obsolescence rate, a royalty rate, and a discount rate for the technology. Certain of these inputs are not observable in the market and represent Level 3 measurements. As the Company completed its evaluation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the Company recorded certain adjustments during the measurement period based on facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments were not material. Acquisition-related costs, primarily consisting of legal and advisory fees, were recognized as an operating expense in the prior year and were not material. 2025 Acquisitions On March 28, 2025, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and technical data rights of certain electro-optical product lines from a third party, which met the definition of a business, for a total cash purchase price of $10.0 million.

The accounting is provisional as the Company is pending valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets that is subject to final adjustment as the Company evaluates information during the measurement period. The preliminary acquisition date fair values of the customer list, technology and tradename intangible assets were $16.9 million, $6.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The Company used an income approach, the multi-period excess earnings method, to calculate the acquisition date fair value of the customer list intangible assets and the relief-from-royalty method to calculate the acquisition date fair value of the technology and tradename intangible assets. Goodwill of $10.4 million was recognized as a result of expected synergies and other intangible benefits. Assumptions made by the Company in determining the preliminary acquisition date fair value related to revenue and gross profit projections, customer attrition rates, contributory asset charges, and the discount rate for the customer list, and revenue projections, a technology obsolescence rate, a royalty rate, and a discount rate for the technology.

Significant portions of the Company’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ — $ 1,684 Inventories 122 59 Interest — 118 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 7,020 5,211 Lease liabilities 8,268 4,141 Deferred compensation 143,939 79,413 Other 3,458 5,598 Valuation allowance (87) (1,957) Total deferred tax assets 162,720 94,267 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment (13,664) (10,362) Goodwill and other intangibles (218,590) (230,290) Undistributed earnings (2,082) (1,183) Right-of-use assets (7,958) (3,965) Other (374) (370) Total deferred tax liabilities (242,668) (246,170) Net deferred tax liability $ (79,948) $ (151,903) As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no recognized net operating loss carryforwards. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this

Table of Contents assessment. While the Company expects to realize the remaining net deferred tax assets, changes in future taxable income or in tax laws may alter this expectation and result in future changes to the valuation allowance. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 relates to capital loss carryforwards in Canada that, in the judgment of the Company, are not more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2024 primarily relates to net operating loss and interest deduction limitation carryforwards that, in the judgment of the Company, are not more likely than not to be realized. The change in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for the year ending December 31, 2025 was a net decrease of $1.9 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has provided deferred taxes of $2.1 million associated with withholding taxes on accumulated undistributed earnings generated by foreign subsidiaries. Earnings of countries within the European Union would be subject to zero withholding tax on future distributions of unremitted earnings. The Company continues to assert permanent reinvestment of the remaining undistributed earnings for which deferred taxes have not been provided for as of December 31, 2025. The computation of the potential deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings is not practicable. If there are policy changes, the Company would record the applicable taxes in the period of change. Uncertain Tax Benefits The Company evaluates its tax positions and recognizes only tax benefits that, more likely than not, will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50.0% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company had $23.2 million of uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would not affect the effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and no amounts had been recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands): 2025 2024 Balance at beginning of year $ 23,245 $ 23,245 Increase in prior years’ tax positions — — Decrease in prior years’ tax positions — — Balance at end of year $ 23,245 $ 23,245 The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions, and other foreign jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2025, tax years 2022 through 2024 are subject to examination by the tax authorities in the U.S. 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings The Company is involved in various claims, actions, and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including a number of matters related to the aqueous film forming foam litigation consolidated in the District of South Carolina multi-district litigation and other similar matters pending in other jurisdictions in the United States. The Company’s exposure to losses, if any, is not considered probable or reasonably estimable at this time. Commitments The Company does not have any material unconditional purchase obligations as of December 31, 2025. 10. EQUITY Common Stock Prior to the Redomiciliation Transaction on November 20, 2024 of Perimeter Solutions, SA (“Perimeter Luxembourg”) the total share capital was $4,100.0 million, consisting of 4,000.0 million Ordinary Shares, with a nominal value of $1.00 per share and 10.0 million Redeemable Preferred Shares with a nominal value of $10.00 per share. Each ordinary share entitled the holder thereof to one vote. 77
Page 82
Table of Contents Upon consummation of the Redomiciliation Transaction, total share capital was unchanged. However, each of Perimeter Luxembourg’s issued (i) ordinary shares, with a nominal value of $1.00 per share (the “Lux Ordinary Shares”) and (ii) redeemable preferred shares, with a nominal value of $10.00 each (the “Lux Preferred Shares”), automatically converted by operation of law on a one- for-one basis into (i) shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) shares of preferred stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), respectively, in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company. Due to the fact that the shares of Preferred Stock are mandatorily redeemable, the Preferred Stock is classified as a liability on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 7, “Long-Term Debt and Preferred Stock” for additional information about the Preferred Stock. The Company's board of directors (the "Board") is authorized, up to the maximum amount of the authorized capital, to (i) increase the issued share capital in one or several tranches by way of issuance of Common Stock or Preferred Stock with such rights as freely determined by the Board at its discretion, with or without share premium, against payment in cash or in kind, by conversion of claims on the Company or in any other manner (ii) issue subscription and/or conversion rights in relation to new shares or instruments within the limits of the authorized capital under the terms and conditions of warrants (which may be separate or linked to shares), bonds, notes or similar instruments issued by the Company, (iii) determine the place and date of the issue or successive issues, the issue price, the terms and conditions of the subscription of and paying up on the new shares and instruments and (iv) remove or limit the statutory preferential subscription right of the stockholders and of the holders of instruments issued by the Company that entitle them to a preferential subscription right. As of December 31, 2025, there were 174,818,216 and 149,440,060 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, there were 169,426,114 and 147,822,633 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, respectively. On August 06, 2025, the Board re-established the limit for Common Stock repurchases at $100.0 million. The approximate dollarvalue of shares that may yet be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Plan was $100.0 million as of December 31, 2025. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company repurchased 3,774,675 and 2,988,291 shares, respectively, under its Share Repurchase Plan. The repurchased shares are recorded at cost and are being held in treasury. Warrants During the year ended December 31, 2024 the Company received $23.5 million for 32,907,728 warrant exercises and issued 2,601,455 Ordinary Shares. The warrant subscription period ended on November 11, 2024. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no warrants issued or outstanding. 11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 2021 Equity Plan A total of 31,900,000 shares of Common Stock are authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Equity Plan”) which provides for the grant of stock options (either incentive or non-qualified), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance share units and other share-based awards with respect to the Common Stock. Shares associated with underlying awards that are expired, forfeited, or otherwise terminated without the delivery of shares, or are settled in cash, and any shares tendered to or withheld by the Company for the payment of an exercise price or for tax withholding will again be available for issuance under the 2021 Equity Plan. The Company has granted PBNQSO to its executive officers, non-employee directors and other members of senior management under the 2021 Equity Plan. The exercise prices of the outstanding PBNQSO range from $2.94 to $27.84 per share and consist of two types of vesting criteria. For unvested PBNQSO grants through December 31, 2025, the remaining vesting period ranges from fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2029. The PBNQSO expire ten years from the grant date. The Company records forfeitures as they are incurred. The grant date fair value of the PBNQSO is expensed proportionately for each tranche over the applicable service period. The fair value of performance-based stock options is 78
Page 83
Table of Contents recognized as compensation expense beginning at the time in which the performance conditions are deemed probable of achievement, over the remaining applicable service period. The table below summarizes the PBNQSO activity: Number of Options Weighted-Average Exercise/Conversion Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding at December 31, 2024 15,434,171 $ 8.44 Granted 3,113,000 $ 12.20 Exercised (3,575,439) $ 9.73 Forfeited (777,000) $ 7.71 Cancelled/Expired (38,647) $ 10.00 Outstanding at December 31, 2025 14,156,085 $ 8.98 7.6 $ 262,578 Options vested and exercisable 5,379,959 $ 9.11 6.9 $ 99,116 The assumptions used to fair value the PBNQSO granted during the year ended December 31, 2025 using the Hull-White model were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2025 Dividend yield —% Risk-free interest rate 4.06% to 4.57% Expected volatility 49.00% to 50.00% Expected life (years) 10.00 Suboptimal exercise multiple 2.5 Drift rate 4.06% to 4.57% Weighted average exercise price of options granted $ 12.20 Weighted average fair value of options granted $ 7.09 Stock-based compensation expense recognized by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $16.6 million, $12.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The total tax benefit, including impact of vesting and exercises, recognized during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 related to non-cash stock-based compensation expense was $1.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized based upon probability assessments of achieving the AOP targets determined using estimated Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and diluted shares for PBNQSO that are expected to vest in future periods. Such probability assessments are subject to revision and, therefore, unrecognized compensation expense is subject to future changes in estimate. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $23.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non- vested PBNQSO expected to vest, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received $34.5 million in proceeds from exercises of PBNQSO. The total intrinsic value of PBNQSO exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $44.8 million. Founder Advisory Amounts As discussed in Note 13, Related Parties, the Company assumed, and agreed to pay, perform, satisfy and discharge in full, all of EverArc’s liabilities and obligations under the key terms and conditions of the Founder Advisory Agreement previously executed between EverArc and EverArc Founder Entity. The fair value of the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount is calculated based on the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock. The fair value of the Variable Annual Advisory Amount is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation because of the market condition (i.e., achievement of a specified share price) associated with this award. For Advisory Amounts classified within equity, the Company does not subsequently remeasure the fair value. For the Advisory Amounts classified as a liability, the Company remeasures the fair value at each reporting date. 79
Page 84
Table of Contents The key inputs into the Monte Carlo simulation model for the Variable Annual Advisory Amounts were as follows at December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023: December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Dividend yield —% —% —% Risk-free interest rate 3.80% 4.43% 3.84% Expected volatility 50.00% 49.50% 48.10% Expected life (years) 6.00 7.00 8.00 10-day volume weighted average share price $ 27.89 $ 12.85 $ 4.51 All of the Founder Advisory Amounts are vested. Compensation expense recorded by the Company in the future will depend upon changes in the fair value of the liability-classified Advisory Amounts. See Note 13, “Related Parties”, for additional information related to the Founders Advisory Amounts. Savings and Investment Plans The Company sponsors a savings and investment plan under which a portion of employee contributions are matched. The Company recognized compensation expense related to matching contributions of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair Value Measurement The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of their maturities. Borrowings under the Company’s Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility accrue interest at a floating rate tied to a standard short-term borrowing index, selected at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin. The carrying amount of this floating rate debt approximates fair value based upon the respective interest rates adjusting with market rate adjustments. The carrying amount of the Company's Preferred Stock equals the redemption price, which approximates fair value. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company's Senior Notes, calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on bid prices obtained from a broker was approximately $669.4 million and $629.5 million, respectively. The Company uses valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels: • Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date. • Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. • Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. 80

Table of Contents Liabilities by Hierarchy Level The following tables set forth the Company’s liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, by level, within the fair value hierarchy for the periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements Using: December 31, 2025 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Liabilities: Founders advisory fees payable - related party $ 161,399 $ — $ 375,024 $ 536,423 December 31, 2024 Liabilities: Founders advisory fees payable - related party $ 52,098 $ — $ 194,662 $ 246,760 The fair value of the founders advisory fees payable is based on the market price of Common Stock if such market price exceeds certain trading price minimums at the end of each reporting period and is valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying Common Stock, the risk-free interest rate, the expected equity volatility, and the expected term of the Founder Advisory Agreement. See Note 11, “Stock-Based Compensation” for discussion of the fair value estimation on the founders advisory fees payable. Changes in Level 3 Liabilities A roll forward of Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows (in thousands): Founders Advisory Fees Payable - Related Party LaderaTECH Contingent Earn-out Balance, December 31, 2022 $ 118,490 $ 7,273 Founders advisory fees - related party, change in fair value (82,843) — Gain on contingent earn-out, change in fair value — (7,273) Balance, December 31, 2023 35,647 — Founders advisory fees - related party, change in fair value 159,015 — Balance, December 31, 2024 194,662 — Founders advisory fees - related party, change in fair value 382,040 — Liability portion of Founders advisory fees - related party reclassified to additional paid-in capital (119,368) — Current portion of Founders advisory fees - related party, transfer out of Level 3 (82,310) — Balance, December 31, 2025 $ 375,024 $ — 13. RELATED PARTIES In exchange for the services provided to the Company, including strategic and capital allocation advice, the EverArc Founder Entity is entitled to receive both a Fixed Annual Advisory Amount and the Variable Annual Advisory Amount from the Company, each as described below: • Fixed Annual Advisory Amount. Effective November 9, 2021 through December 31, 2027, the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount will be equal to 2,357,061 shares of Common Stock (1.5% of the 157,137,410 shares of Common Stock, the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number). • Variable Annual Advisory Amount. Effective November 9, 2021 through December 31, 2031, and once the average price per share of Common Stock is at least $10.00, the Variable Annual Advisory Amount will be equal in value to: 81
Page 86
Table of Contents • in the first year in which the Variable Annual Advisory Amount is payable, (x) 18% of the increase in the market value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock over $10.00 (such increase in market value, the “Payment Price”) multiplied by (y) 157,137,410 shares of Common Stock, the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number; and • in the following years in which the Variable Annual Advisory Amount may be payable (if at all), (x) 18% of the increase in Payment Price over the previous year Payment Price multiplied by (y) 157,137,410 shares of Common Stock, the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number. The Founder Advisory Agreement can be terminated at any time (i) by the EverArc Founder Entity if the Company ceases to be traded on the NYSE; or (ii) by the EverArc Founder Entity or the Company if there is (A) a Sale of the Company (as defined in the Founder Advisory Agreement) or (B) a liquidation of the Company. The Company calculates the fair value of the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount using the average price of Common Stock and used a Monte Carlo simulation model to calculate the fair value of the Variable Annual Advisory Amount. The Advisory Amounts may be settled by paying up to 50% in cash, recorded as a liability, with the remaining percentage settled in Common Stock. While the entire instrument is subject to the fair value calculation described above, the amount classified and recorded as equity remains consistent while the amount classified and recorded as a liability is updated each period. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized an increase in the compensation expense related to the founders advisory fees payable - related party due to an increase in fair value for liability-classified Advisory Amounts of $435.2 million and $198.3 million, respectively, primarily due to increases in share price of the Company’s Common Stock. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount for the remaining term was calculated to be $131.3 million and $90.8 million, respectively, based on the period end volume weighted average closing share price for ten consecutive trading days of Common Stock of $27.89 and $12.85, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the fair value of the Variable Annual Advisory Amount, determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $750.1 million and $389.3 million, respectively. For 2025, the average price was $27.89 per share of Common Stock. The EverArc Founder Entity is entitled to receive the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount of 2,357,061 shares of Common Stock or a value of $65.7 million, based on an average price of $27.89 per share of Common Stock (the “2025 Fixed Amount”). The EverArc Founder Entity is also entitled to receive a Variable Annual Advisory Amount for 2025 of 14,462,123 shares of Common Stock, or a value of $403.4 million (the “2025 Variable Amount” and together with the 2025 Fixed Amount, the “2025 Advisory Amounts”). The EverArc Founder Entity elected to receive approximately 79.6% of the 2025 Advisory Amounts in shares of Common Stock (13,387,002 Common Shares) and approximately 20.4% of the 2025 Advisory Amounts in cash ($95.7 million). To satisfy the 2025 Advisory Amounts, the Company paid $95.7 million in cash on February 19, 2026 and expects to issue 13,387,002 shares of Common Stock in the first quarter of 2026. For 2024, the average price was $12.85 per share of Common Stock. The EverArc Founder Entity was entitled to receive the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount of 2,357,061 shares of Common Stock or a value of $30.3 million, based on an average price of $12.85 per share of Common Stock (the “2024 Fixed Amount”). The EverArc Founder Entity did not qualify to receive the Variable Annual Advisory Amount for 2024 as the average price of $12.85 per share of Common Stock for 2024 was lower than the average price of $13.63 per Common Share established in 2021. The EverArc Founder Entity elected to receive approximately 78% of the 2024 Fixed Amount in Common Stock (1,837,304 Common Shares) and approximately 22% of the 2024 Fixed Amount in cash ($6.7 million). On February 18, 2025, the Company issued 1,837,304 Common Shares and paid $6.7 million in cash in satisfaction of the 2024 Fixed Amount. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the EverArc Founder Entity’s liability for losses in connection with the services provided is excluded and the Company will have agreed to indemnify the EverArc Founder Entity and its affiliates in relation to certain liabilities incurred in connection with acts or omissions by or on behalf of the Company or the EverArc Founder Entity. If the Founder Advisory Agreement is terminated under (i) or (ii)(A), the Company will pay the EverArc Founder Entity an amount in cash equal to: (a) the Fixed Annual Advisory Amount for the year in which termination occurs and for each remaining year of the term of the agreement, in each case at the Payment Price; and (b) the Variable Annual Advisory Amount that would have been payable for the year of termination and for each remaining year of the term of the agreement. In each case the Payment Price in the year of termination will be calculated on the basis of the Payment Year ending on the trading day immediately prior to the date of termination, save that in the event of a Sale of the Company, the Payment Price will be calculated on the basis of the amount paid by the relevant third party (or cash 82
Page 87
Table of Contents equivalent if such amount is not paid in cash). For each remaining year of the term of the agreement the Payment Price in each case will increase by 15% each year. No account will be taken of any Payment Price in any year preceding the termination when calculating amounts due on termination. Payment will be immediately due and payable on the date of termination of the Founder Advisory Agreement. Notwithstanding that the Fixed and Variable Advisory Amounts will be paid out over two years and six years, respectively, the Company has accrued the full amount of the payments because, the Company has incurred an obligation equal to the present value of the entire amount of both the Fixed and Variable Annual Advisory Amounts. 14. REVENUE RECOGNITION Disaggregation of Revenues Amounts recognized at a point in time primarily relate to products sold whereas amounts recognized over time primarily relate to services associated with the full-service retardant contracts. Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Revenues from products $ 544,449 $ 464,806 $ 290,720 Revenues from services 108,268 95,903 30,158 Other revenues 145 259 1,230 Total net sales $ 652,862 $ 560,968 $ 322,108 15. (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic (loss) earnings per share represents income available to common or ordinary stockholders divided by the weighted average number of Common Stock or Ordinary Shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period plus additional weighted-average potentially dilutive share equivalents during the period when the effect is dilutive. Basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding and (loss) earnings per share were as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data): Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Net (loss) income $ (206,366) $ (5,905) $ 67,486 Weighted-average shares outstanding: Weighted average shares used in computing (loss) earnings per share, basic 150,370,533 145,713,439 154,666,717 Founders advisory fees — — 11,785,305 Weighted average shares used in computing (loss) earnings per share, diluted 150,370,533 145,713,439 166,452,022 Basic (loss) earnings per share $ (1.37) $ (0.04) $ 0.44 Diluted (loss) earnings per share $ (1.37) $ (0.04) $ 0.41 83

For additional information, refer to Note 13, “Related Parties.” 16. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company’s products and operations are managed and reported in two operating segments: Fire Safety and Specialty Products. The Fire Safety Segment provides fire retardants and fire suppressants, as well as specialized equipment and services typically offered in conjunction with its products. The Specialty Products Segment includes operations that develop, produce and market products for non-fire safety markets. See Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation” for discussion of the Company’s operating segments. The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) is the Company's CEO. The CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and the forecasting process. The CODM considers budget/forecast-to-actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes plus net interest and other financing expenses, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted on a consistent basis for certain non-recurring, unusual or non-operational items. These items include (i) restructuring, (ii) acquisition related costs (iii) founder advisory fee expenses, (iv) stock-based compensation expense and (v) foreign currency loss (gain). Interest income, interest expense, other income (expense) and certain corporate operating expenses are not included in the measures of segment performance reviewed by the CODM. The corporate category is not considered to be a segment. 84

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On December 9, 2025, Perimeter Solutions North America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “MMT Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Buyer, the Company, Thunderbird Midco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its subsidiaries (“MMT”), the equity holders of MMT (the “Sellers”), and certain other parties thereto pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of MMT from the Sellers for $685 million in cash, subject to certain customary adjustments as set forth in the MMT Purchase Agreement (the “MMT Acquisition”). On January 22, 2026, the Company completed the MMT Acquisition pursuant to the MMT Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), and the Buyer acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of MMT in exchange for the cash consideration described above. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Buyer, the Company, MMT and the Sellers. Buyer and the Sellers have agreed to indemnify each other for certain breaches of representations, warranties and covenants. This transaction will be accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. The Company will record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date. On January 2, 2026, Perimeter Holdings, LLC (“Perimeter Holdings”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Perimeter Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), completed its offering of $550 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior secured notes due 2034 (the “2034 Notes”) in transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes were issued under an indenture, dated January 2, 2026 (the “Indenture”), by and among Perimeter Holdings, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The Notes mature on January 15, 2034, and bear interest at a rate of 6.250% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on July 15, 2026. The Company used the net proceeds of the 2034 Notes, together with cash on hand, to pay the cash consideration for the MMT Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses. 91

The Executive shall continue to receive his or her Annual Base Salary, annual bonus and all other compensation and perquisites referenced in Section 4 through the Date of Termination. 6. Severance Payments. (a) Termination for any Reason. In the event the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason, the Company shall pay the Executive (or his or her beneficiary in the event of his or her death) any unpaid Annual Base Salary that has accrued as of the Date of Termination, any unreimbursed expenses due to the Executive in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy and an amount equal to compensation for accrued but unused sick days and vacation days. The Company shall permit the Executive to elect to continue health plan coverage in accordance with the requirements of applicable law (e.g., COBRA coverage), at the applicable monthly cost charged for such coverage (the “Monthly COBRA Coverage Continuation Rate”). The Company may require the Executive to complete and file any election forms that are generally required of other employees to obtain COBRA coverage; and the Executive’s COBRA coverage may be terminable in accordance with applicable law. The Executive shall also be entitled to accrued, vested benefits under the Company’s benefit plans and programs as provided therein. The Executive shall be entitled to the additional payments and benefits described below only as set forth herein. (b) Termination without Cause, Resignation for Good Reason or Termination by Reason of Death or Disability. Subject toSections 6(c) and (d) and the restrictions contained herein, in the event of the Executive’s Termination without Cause (pursuant to Section 5(a)(v)), Resignation for Good Reason (pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv)) or termination by reason of death or Disability (pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) or (ii), respectively), the Company shall pay to the Executive the amounts described in subsection (a). In addition, subject to Sections 6(c) and (d) and the restrictions contained herein, and in the case of Termination without Cause (pursuant to Section 5(a)(v)), Resignation for Good Reason (pursuant to Section 5(a) (iv)) or Disability (pursuant to Section 5(a)(ii)), subject to the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of a release in in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”) no later than thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay to the Executive (or his or her beneficiary in the event of his or her death) an amount equal to the “Severance Amount” described below. For purposes of this Agreement the Severance Amount is equal to the sum of: (i) 1.25 times the Executive’s Annual Base Salary, (ii) 1.0 times the Executive’s target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination falls, determined in accordance with Section 4(b); and (iii) 15.0 times the difference of (A) the Monthly COBRA Continuation Coverage Rate determined as of the Date ofTermination for the Executive’s applicable health and welfare plan coverages as in effect on such date, less (B) the monthly cost to Executive that is being charged for such coverage as of the Date of Termination. The Severance Amount as so determined shall be payable to the Executive (or his or her beneficiary) in substantially equal installments over the 18-month period following the Date of Termination (the “Payment Period”) commencing no later than thirty (30) days following the execution and non-revocation of the Release, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. The first installment payment shall include all amounts that would have otherwise been paid to the Executive during the period beginning on the Date of Termination and ending on the first installment payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the end of the thirty (30) day notice and revocation period for the Release would result in the first installment payment occurring in the taxable year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurs, the first installment payment shall be made in the taxable year following the year in which the Date of Termination occurs. (c) Benefits Provided Upon Termination of Employment. If the Executive’s termination or resignation does not constitute a “separation from service,” as such term is defined under Code Section 409A, the Executive shall nevertheless be entitledto receive all of the payments and benefits that the Executive is entitled to receive under this Agreement on account of his or her termination of employment. However, the payments and benefits that the Executive is entitled to under this Agreement shall not be provided to the Executive until such time as the Executive has incurred a “separation from services” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
Page 110
(d) Payments on Account of Termination to a Specified Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 6(a) or 6(b), in the event that the Executive is determined to be a Specified Employee at the time of his or her termination of employment under this Agreement (or, if later, his or her “separation from service” under Code Section 409A), to the extent that a payment, reimbursement or benefit under Section 6(b) is considered to provide for a “deferral of compensation” (as determined under Code Section 409A), then such payment, reimbursement or benefit shall not be paid or provided until six months after the Executive’s separation from service, or his or her death, whichever occurs first. Any payments, reimbursements or benefits that are withheld under this provision for the first six months shall bepayable in a lump sum on the 181st day after such termination of employment (or, if later, separation from service). The restrictions in this Section 6(d) shall be interpreted and applied solely to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B). Accordingly, payments, benefits or reimbursements under Section 6(b) or any other part of this Agreement may nevertheless be provided to Executive with the six-month period following the date of Executive’s termination of employment under this Agreement (or, if later, his or her “separation from service” under Code Section 409A), to the extent that it would nevertheless be permissible to do so under Code Section 409A because those payments, reimbursements or benefits are (i) described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) (iii) (i.e., payments within the limitations therein that are being made on account of an involuntary termination or termination for good reason, within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations), or (ii) described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) (i.e., payments which are treated as short-term deferrals within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations), or (iii) benefits described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(v) (e.g. health care benefits). (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement to the contrary, if any of the payments or benefits provided or to be provided by the Company or its affiliates to the Executive or for theExecutive's benefit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (“Covered Payments”) constitute parachute payments (“Parachute Payments”) within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and would, but for this Section 6(e) be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or any similar tax imposed by state or local law or any interest or penalties with respect to such taxes (collectively, the “Excise Tax”), then prior to making the Covered Payments, a calculation shall be made comparing (i) the Net Benefit (as defined below) to the Executive of the Covered Payments after payment of the Excise Tax to (ii) the Net Benefit to the Executive if the Covered Payments are limited to the extent necessary to avoid being subject to the Excise Tax. Only if the amount calculated under (i) above is less than the amount under (ii) above will the Covered Payments be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that no portion of the Covered Payments is subject to the Excise Tax (that amount, the “Reduced Amount”). “Net Benefit” shall mean the present value of the Covered Payments net of all federal, state, local, foreign income, employment and excise taxes. Any such reduction shall be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the following: (x) the Covered Payments which do not constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced first;and (y) all other Covered Payments shall then be reduced as follows: (A) cash payments shall be reduced before non- cash payments; and (B) payments to be made on a later payment date shall be reduced before payments to be made on an earlier payment date. Any determination required under this Section 6(e), including whether any payments or benefits are Parachute Payments, shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion. The Executive shall provide the Company with such information and documents as the Company may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 6(e). The Company's determination shall be final and binding on the Executive. 7. Competition; Non-solicitation. (a) During the Term and, following any termination of Executive’s employment, for a period equal to (i) the Payment Period, in the case of a termination of employment for which payments are made pursuant to Section 6(b) hereof, or (ii) 24 months from the date of such termination in the event of a voluntary termination of employment by the Executive without Good Reason, or a termination by the Company for Cause, the Executive shall not, and shall cause each of his or her affiliates not to, anywhere in the Restricted Territory, directly or indirectly engage in any Competitive Activities. TheExecutive acknowledges that the Company and/or its Affiliates conducted its Business throughout the Restricted Territory and the Executive provided services to the Company and/or its Affiliates throughout the Restricted Territory. The Executive shall be deemed to be engaged in Competitive Activities if such Restricted Party or any of his or her affiliates (i) serves as a shareholder, owner, officer, director, member, manager, trustee or partner of, or consults with, advises or assists in any way, whether or not for consideration, any Competitor; or (ii) endorses the services of any Competitor, solicits customers,
Page 111
provides or otherwise serves as an intermediary for any such Competitor or loans money or renders any other form of financial assistance to any such Competitor. (b) During the Term and for a period of two (2) years following any termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive shall not, and shall cause each of his or her affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit or transact any business with, or assist any third party in soliciting or transacting any business with, any Persons who are, or were in the past twelve (12) months, customers or suppliers of the Business; (ii) cause any customers or suppliers referred to in clause (i) to cease doing business with or to terminate its business relationship with the Company or any of its Affiliates;or (iii) solicit for employment or hire any employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates, unless such employee’s employment has been terminated by the Parent or any of its affiliates, as the case may be, at least six (6) months before any such solicitation or hiring. (c) In the event a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the provisions in this Section 7 are excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope or activity, it is expressly agreed that this Section 7 shall be construed so that the remaining provisions shall not be affected, but shall remain in full force and effect, and any such overbroad provisions shall be deemed, without further action on the part of any Person, to be modified, amended and/or limited, but only to the extent necessary to render the same valid. 8. Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information. (a) Except as required in the faithful performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder or pursuant to subsection (c), the Executive shall, in perpetuity, maintain in confidence and shall not directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for his or her benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company and its Affiliates, including,without limitation, information with respect to their operations, processes, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment, except for such information which is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach by the Executive of this Section 8, or deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets. The parties hereby stipulate and agree that as between them the foregoing matters are important, material and confidential proprietary information and trade secrets and affect the successful conduct of the businesses of the Company and its Affiliates (and any of their successors or assignees). (b) Upon termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall promptly deliver to the Company all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents concerning the customers, business plans, marketing strategies, products or processes of the Company and any of its Affiliates and/or which contain proprietary information or trade secrets. (c) The Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena or other legal process but shall give the Company the earliest possible notice thereof, shall, as much in advance of the return date as possible, make available to the Company and its counsel the documents and other information sought and shall assist such counsel in resisting or otherwise responding to such process. 9. Injunctive Relief. It is recognized and acknowledged by the Executive that a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8 may cause irreparable damage to the Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief. 10. Whistleblower Protection. (a) Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties or any policy of the Company or any of its Affiliates shall prohibit or restrict any party or their respective attorneys from: (i) making any disclosure of relevant andnecessary information or documents in any action, investigation, or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or as required by law or legal process, including with respect to possible violations of law; (ii) participating, cooperating or testifying in any action, investigation or proceeding with, or providing information to, any governmental agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, and/or pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; or (iii) accepting any U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission awards. In addition, nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement among the
Page 112
parties or any policy of the Company or any of its Affiliates prohibits or restricts the any such party from initiating communications with, or responding to any inquiry from, any regulatory or supervisory authority regarding any good faith concerns about possible violations of law or regulation. (b) Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), the Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret of the Company or its Affiliates that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to the Executive’s attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other documentthat is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If the Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, the Executive may disclose the trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the Executive files any document containing the trade secret under seal, and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties or any policy of the Company or any of its Affiliates is intended to conflict with 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b) or create liability for disclosures of trade secrets that are expressly allowed by such section. 11. Survival. The expiration or termination of the Term shall not impair the rights or obligations of any party hereto which shall have accrued hereunder prior to such expiration. 12. Binding on Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, Parent, the Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable. 13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of Delaware. 14. Validity.

The signatures to this Agreement need not all be on a single copy of this Agreement, and may be electronic signatures (e.g., DocuSign) or copies on portable document format (.pdf) rather than originals, and in each case shall be fully effective as though all signatures were originals on the same copy. 17. Entire Agreement; Prior Employment Agreement. The terms of this Agreement, together with the Equity Compensation Agreements, are intended by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement.

Furthermore, it is the intent of the parties hereto to act in a fair and reasonable manner with respect to the interpretation and application of the provisions of this Agreement. 20. Arbitration.

Indemnification and Insurance; Legal Expenses. During the Term and so long as the Executive has not breached any of his or her obligations set forth in Sections 7 and 8, the Company and Parent shall indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Delaware and Luxembourg, respectively, as in effect at the time of the subject act or omission, and shall advance to the Executive reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses as such fees and expenses are incurred (subject to an undertaking from the Executive to repay such advances if it shall be finally determined by a judicial decision which is not subject to further appeal thatthe Executive was not entitled to the reimbursement of such fees and expenses) and Executive shall be entitled to the protection of any insurance policies the Company and/or Parent shall maintain generally for the benefit of their respective directors and officers (“Directors and Officers Insurance”) against all costs, charges and expenses incurred or sustained by Executive in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which Executive may be made a party by reason of his or her being or having been a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates or his or her serving or having served any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request of the Company (other than any dispute, claim or controversy arising under or relating to this Agreement).
