First Quarter 2024 April 30, 2024
Earnings Conference Call
Forward-Looking Statements
Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation and related conference call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding global
supply chain challenges, expected impact of inflation including raw material inflation and rising interest rates, the impact of
enterprise initiatives, future financial and operating performance, free cash flow and free cash flow to net income
conversion rate, organic and total revenue, operating and incremental margin, price/cost impact, statements regarding
diluted income per share, restructuring expenses and related benefits, expected dividend payments, after-tax return on
invested capital, effective tax rates, exchange rates, expected access to liquidity sources, expected capital allocation,
expected timing and amount of share repurchases, end market economic and regulatory conditions, the impact of recent or
potential acquisitions and/or divestitures, and the Company’s 2024 guidance. These statements are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
Important risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include those that are
detailed in ITW’s Form 10-K for 2023 and subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP measures in discussing the Company’s performance. The reconciliation of those
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is detailed in ITW’s press release for the first quarter of 2024,
which is available at www.itw.com, together with this presentation. The estimated guidance of free cash flow to net income
conversion rate and after-tax return on average invested capital are based on assumptions that are difficult to predict, and
estimated guidance for the most directly comparable GAAP measures and a reconciliation of these forward-looking estimates
to their most directly comparable GAAP estimates have been omitted due to the unreasonable efforts required in connection
with such a reconciliation and the lack of availability of reliable forward-looking cash flow and operating information.
