Project Momentum - In November 2022, the Board of Directors approved a profit recovery program, Project Momentum, which included an enterprise-wide restructuring focused on recovering operating margins, optimizing our manufacturing, distribution and global supply chain networks, and enhancing our organizational efficiency throughout the Company.

In July 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved an expansion to the Project Momentum profit recovery program and delegated authority to the Company's management to determine the final actions with respect to the plan. The expansion allowed for additional optimization of our battery manufacturing, distribution and global supply chain networks, further review of our global real estate footprint and the implementation of IT systems that will allow us to streamline our organization and fully execute the program. Following the Belgium Acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company expanded the Project Momentum program and increased the savings and cost expectations, partially due to the impact the expanded manufacturing capacity had on the Company's battery network. Through the first three years of Project Momentum, the Company incurred total pre-tax exit-related costs associated with these plans of $215.8 through the end of fiscal year 2025.

Project Momentum - Tariff Mitigation & Operational Efficiency Program - During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company decided to extend the Project Momentum program to a fourth year to help offset the impact of tariffs and the challenging macroeconomic environment. The Company plans to achieve this through network and sourcing changes to mitigate tariffs, a redesign of the European manufacturing network to best utilize the acquired APS manufacturing facility, the redesign and investment in our U.S. based manufacturing footprint to increase operational efficiency and production, as well as overall SG&A cost reduction initiatives. The estimated restructuring and related pre-tax costs associated with this fourth year of the program is expected to be between $35.0 and $40.0 with additional restructuring related costs of $25.0 to $30.0 around U.S. manufacturing efficiency initiatives. Restructuring costs for these initiatives were $24.8 and restructuring related costs were $11.3 through December 31, 2025.

The pre-tax expense for charges related to the restructuring for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 are noted in the table below, and were reflected in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income:

(3) Relates to initiatives to optimize the Company's cost structure and operational efficiency in the U.S. as we exit less efficient production lines and reinvest in the expansion of U.S. manufacturing production. These restructuring related costs are recorded in COGS in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

(4) Relates to operating expenses for new IT systems, primarily the organizational design and change management costs, which are enabling the Company to complete restructuring initiatives. Costs are included in SG&A in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the pre-tax restructuring and related costs would have been incurred within the Batteries & Lights segment in the amount of $18.7 and the Auto Care segment in the amount of $1.6.
