FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Certain statements contained in this quarterly report, including those within the forward-looking perspective section within the Management's Discussion and Analysis section, and other written and oral statements made from time to time by us or on our behalf do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. As such, they are considered "forward-looking statements" which provide current expectations or forecasts of future events. Such statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as "may," "could," "will," "should," "possible," "plan," "predict," "forecast," "potential," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "believe," "may impact," "on track," "guarantee," "seek," and the negative of these words and words and terms of similar substance. Our forward-looking statements generally relate to our growth strategies, financial results, product development, and sales efforts. These forward-looking statements should be considered with the understanding that such statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, and may be affected by inaccurate assumptions. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may vary materially.
This document contains forward-looking statements about Whirlpool Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Whirlpool") that speak only as of this date. Whirlpool disclaims any obligation to update these statements. Forward-looking statements in this document may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding future financial results, long-term value creation goals, restructuring expectations, productivity, raw material prices and related costs, supply chain, portfolio transformation expectations, asset impairment, litigation, ESG efforts, debt repayment expectations, and the impact of COVID-19 and the Russia/Ukraine, Israel and Red Sea conflicts on our operations. Many risks, contingencies and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from Whirlpool's forward-looking statements. Among these factors are: (1) intense competition in the home appliance industry, and the impact of the changing retail environment, including direct-to-consumer sales; (2) Whirlpool's ability to maintain or increase sales to significant trade customers; (3) Whirlpool's ability to maintain its reputation and brand image; (4) the ability of Whirlpool to achieve its business objectives and leverage its global operating platform, and accelerate the rate of innovation; (5) Whirlpool’s ability to understand consumer preferences and successfully develop new products; (6) Whirlpool's ability to obtain and protect intellectual property rights; (7) acquisition, divestiture, and investment-related risks, including risks associated with our past acquisitions; (8) the ability of suppliers of critical parts, components and manufacturing equipment to deliver sufficient quantities to Whirlpool in a timely and cost-effective manner; (9) COVID-19 pandemic, other public health emergency-related business disruptions and economic uncertainty; (10) Whirlpool's ability to navigate risks associated with our presence in emerging markets; (11) risks related to our international operations; (12) Whirlpool's ability to respond to unanticipated social, political and/or economic events; (13) information technology system failures, data security breaches, data privacy compliance, network disruptions, and cybersecurity attacks; (14) product liability and product recall costs; (15) Whirlpool's ability to attract, develop and retain executives and other qualified employees; (16) the impact of labor relations; (17) fluctuations in the cost of key materials (including steel, resins, base metals) and components and the ability of Whirlpool to offset cost increases; (18) Whirlpool's ability to manage foreign currency fluctuations; (19) impacts from goodwill impairment and related charges; (20) triggering events or circumstances impacting the carrying value of our long-lived assets; (21) inventory and other asset risk; (22) health care cost trends, regulatory changes and variations between results and estimates that could increase future funding obligations for pension and postretirement benefit plans; (23) litigation, tax, and legal compliance risk and costs; (24) the effects and costs of governmental investigations or related actions by third parties; (25) changes in the legal and regulatory environment including environmental, health and safety regulations, data privacy, and taxes and tariffs; (26) Whirlpool's ability to respond to the impact of climate change and climate change regulation; and (27) the uncertain global economy and changes in economic conditions.
We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, and investors are advised to review disclosures in our filings with the SEC. It is not possible to foresee or identify all factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. Therefore, investors should not consider the foregoing factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks, uncertainties, or factors that could potentially cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements.
Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
General Information
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. As a result, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Management believes that the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods.
We are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
We have eliminated all material intercompany transactions in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. We do not consolidate the financial statements of any company in which we have an ownership interest of 50% or less, unless that company is deemed to be a variable interest entity ("VIE") of which we are the primary beneficiary. VIEs are consolidated when the company is the primary beneficiary of these entities and has the ability to directly impact the activ i ties of these entities.
Risks and Uncertainties
Macroeconomic volatility, as well as ongoing international conflicts, continues to impact countries across the world, and the duration and severity of the effects are currently unknown. The duration and severity of the effects on our business and the global economy are inherently unpredictable.
The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements presented herein reflect estimates and assumptions made by management at June 30, 2024.
These estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the Company’s goodwill, long-lived asset and indefinite-lived intangible asset valuation; inventory valuation; assessment of the annual effective tax rate; valuation of deferred income taxes and income tax contingencies; and the allowance for expected credit losses and bad debt. Events and changes in circumstances arising after July 25, 2024, including those resulting from the impacts of macroeconomic volatility, as well as the ongoing international conflicts, will be reflected in management’s estimates for future periods.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
We continue to monitor the significant global economic uncertainty to assess the outlook for demand for our products and the impact on our business and our overall financial performance. Our Maytag and InSinkErator trademarks continue to be at risk at June 30, 2024. The goodwill in our reporting units or other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not presently at risk for future impairment.
The potential impact of demand disruptions, production impacts or supply constraints along with a number of other factors could negatively affect revenues for the Maytag and InSinkErator trademarks, but we remain committed to the strategic actions necessary to realize the long-term forecasted revenues and profitability of these trademarks.
A lack of recovery or further deterioration in market conditions, a sustained trend of weaker than expected financial performance for our Maytag and InSinkErator trademarks, among other factors, as a result of the macroeconomic factors or other unforeseen events could result in an impairment charge in future periods which could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
As a result of our analysis, and in consideration of the totality of events and circumstances, there were no triggering events of impairment identified during the second quarter of 2024.
8

Income taxes
Under U.S. GAAP, the Company calculates its quarterly tax provision based on an estimated effective tax rate for the year and then adjusts this amount by certain discrete items each quarter. Potential changing and volatile macro-economic conditions could cause fluctuations in forecasted earnings before income taxes. As such, the Company's effective tax rate could be subject to volatility as forecasted earnings before income taxes are impacted by events which cannot be predicted.
In addition, potential future economic deterioration brought on by the pandemic, ongoing international conflicts, and related sanctions or other factors, such as potential sales of businesses and new tax legislation may negatively impact the realizability and/or valuation of certain deferred tax assets.
Other Accounting Matters
Synthetic Lease Arrangements
We have a number of synthetic lease arrangements with financial institutions for non-core properties. The leases contain provisions for options to purchase, extend the original term for additional periods or return the property. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these arrangements include residual value guarantees of up to approximately $378 million and $378 million, respectively, that could potentially come due in future periods. We do not believe it is probable that any material amounts will be owed under these guarantees. Therefore, no material amounts related to the residual value guarantees are included in the lease payments used to measure the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.
The majority of these leases are classified as operating leases. We have assessed the reasonable certainty of these provisions to determine the appropriate lease term. The leases were measured using our incremental borrowing rate and are included in our right of use assets and lease liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Rental payments are calculated at the applicable reference rate plus an additional amount based on the terms of the lease. The impact to the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) is nominal.
Supply Chain Financing Arrangements
The Company has ongoing agreements globally with various third-parties to provide certain suppliers the opportunity to sell receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. Under these agreements, the average payment terms range from 120 to 180 days and are based on industry standards and best practices within each of our global regions. Whirlpool has no assets pledged as part of our global programs.
We have no economic interest in the sale of these receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. For certain arrangements, the Company will guarantee receivables due from wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our obligations to suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted. All outstanding balances under these programs are recorded in accounts payable on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the changes in outstanding obligations for the periods presented:

Millions of dollars | Outstanding Obligations
Confirmed obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2023 | $ | 843 |
Invoices confirmed during the period | 1,233 |
Confirmed invoices paid during the period | (1,286) |
Impact of foreign currency | (34) |
Confirmed obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2024 | $ | 756 |

Obligations outstanding and activities during the period related to our European major domestic appliance business have been excluded from the table above. There were no obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2024. Obligations outstanding amounted to $393 million as of December 31, 2023.
9

A downgrade in our credit rating or changes in the financial markets could limit the financial institutions’ willingness to commit funds to, and participate in, the programs. We do not believe such risk would have a material impact on our working capital or cash flows.
Equity Method Investments
Our primary equity method investments include partial ownership in Whirlpool China, an entity that was previously controlled by the Company, and partial ownership in Beko Europe B.V. (Beko), a newly formed entity resulting from the April 1, 2024 transaction with Arcelik. For additional information, see Note 14 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the amounts related to the Company's primary equity method investments during the periods presented.

Millions of dollars |  | June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023
| Percentage Ownership |  | Carrying Amount | Percentage Ownership |  | Carrying Amount
Beko Europe B.V. |  | 25 | % |  | $ | 174 |  | 25 | % |  | N/A
Whirlpool China |  | 20 | % |  | $ | 188 |  | 20 | % |  | $ | 187 |

The fair value of the investment in Beko at the date of deconsolidation was calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis and multiple market data points (Level 3 input), resulting in a fair value of $186 million. The market value of our investment in Whirlpool China, based on the quoted market price, is $156 million as of June 30, 2024. Management has concluded that there are no indicators of other than temporary impairment related to these investments.
The following table summarizes the amounts recorded related to the Company's primary equity method investments during the periods presented.

Millions of dollars | Six Months Ended June 30,
2024 |  | 2023
Accounts Payable | $ | 67 |  |  | $ | 87 |
Purchases | $ | 137 |  |  | $ | 144 |

The licensing revenue from our equity method investments and their subsidiaries is not material for the periods presented. There are also no material accounts receivable or sales with these investments for the periods presented.
Related Parties
The Company has a controlling equity ownership of 87% in Elica PB India which is consolidated in Whirlpool Corporation's financial statements and is reported within our MDA Asia reportable segment. Elica PB India is a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The carrying amount of customer relationships, which are included in Other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, amounts to $28 million as of June 30, 2024 and $29 million as of December 31, 2023, respectively. Other assets or liabilities of Elica PB India are not material to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of the Company for the periods presented.
Both Whirlpool India and the non-controlling interest shareholders retain an option for Whirlpool India to purchase the remaining equity interest in Elica PB India for fair value, which could be material to the financial statements of the Company, depending on the performance of the business.

The impact to revenue related to prior period performance obligations is less than 1% of global consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses and Bad Debt Expense
We estimate our expected credit losses and bad debt expense primarily by using an aging methodology and establish customer-specific reserves for higher risk trade customers. Our expected credit losses and bad debt expense are evaluated and controlled within each geographic region considering the unique credit risk specific to the country, marketplace and economic environment. We take into account past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts in developing the reserve.

(5) FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Debt Offering
On February 22, 2024, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., ING Financial Markets LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and SG Americas Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, relating to the offering by the Company of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2034 (the "Notes"), in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276169), and a preliminary prospectus supplement and prospectus supplement related to the offering of the Notes, each as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). On February 27, 2024, the Company closed its offering of the Notes. The
12

Notes contain covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions. In addition, if we experience a specific kind of change of control, we are required to make an offer to purchase all of the notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to repay, at maturity, all $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 4.000% Notes due March 1, 2024.
On February 22, 2023, the Company completed its offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”), in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-255372). The 2033 Notes were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated March 20, 2000, between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank, National Association and Citibank, N.A.), as trustee. The sale of the 2033 Notes was made pursuant to the terms of an Underwriting Agreement, dated February 14, 2023, with BNP Paribas Securities Corp., ING Financial Markets LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and SG Americas Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters in connection with the offering and sales of the 2033 Notes. The 2033 Notes contain covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions. In addition, if we experience a specific kind of change of control, we are required to make an offer to purchase all of the notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2033 Notes to repay $250 million aggregate principal amount of 3.700% Notes which were paid on March 1, 2023, and for general corporate purposes.
Term Loan Agreement
On September 23, 2022, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement by and among the Company, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”), as Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent and as lender, and certain other financial institutions as lenders. SMBC, BNP Paribas, ING Bank N.V., Dublin Branch, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., and Societe Generale acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Syndication Agents; The Bank of Nova Scotia and Bank of China, Chicago Branch acted as Documentation Agents; and SMBC acted as Sole Bookrunner for the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan Agreement provides for an aggregate lender commitment of $2.5 billion. The Company utilized proceeds from the term loan facility on a delayed draw basis to fund a majority of the $3.0 billion purchase price consideration for the Company’s acquisition from Emerson Corporation (“Emerson”) of Emerson’s InSinkErator business, as set forth in the Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement between Whirlpool and Emerson dated as of August 7, 2022 (the “Acquisition Agreement”).
The outstanding amount for this term loan at June 30, 2024 is $1.5 billion, which is classified in noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. The term loan facility is divided into two tranches: a $1 billion tranche with a maturity date of April 30, 2024, of which $500 million was repaid in December 2023 and the remaining $500 million was repaid in April 2024; and a $1.5 billion tranche with a maturity date of October 31, 2025.
The interest and fee rates payable with respect to the term loan facility based on the Company's current debt rating are as follows: (1) the spread over SOFR for the 3-year tranche is 1.125% (with a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment); (2) the spread over prime for the 3-year tranche is zero; and (3) the ticking fee for the 3-year tranche is 0.125%, as of the date hereof.
The Term Loan Agreement contains customary covenants and warranties including, among other things, a rolling twelve month interest coverage ratio required to be greater than or equal to 3.0 for each fiscal quarter. In addition, the covenants limit the Company's ability to (or to permit any subsidiaries to), subject to various exceptions and limitations: (i) merge with other companies; (ii) create liens on its property; and (iii) incur debt at the subsidiary level. We were in compliance with our interest coverage ratio under the term loan agreement as of June 30, 2024.
13

Credit Facilities
On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Long-Term Credit Agreement (the “Amended Long-Term Facility”) by and among the Company, certain other borrowers, the lenders referred to therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent, and Citibank, N.A., as Syndication Agent. BNP Paribas, Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acted as Documentation Agents. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citibank, N.A., Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners for the Amended Long-Term Facility. Consistent with the Company’s prior credit agreement, the Amended Long-Term Facility provides an aggregate borrowing capacity of $3.5 billion. The facility has a maturity date of May 3, 2027, unless earlier terminated.
The interest rate payable with respect to the Amended Long-Term Facility is based on the Company’s current debt rating, Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) + 1.125% interest rate margin per annum (with a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment) or the Alternate Base Rate + 0.125% per annum, at the Company’s election.
The Amended Long-Term Facility contains customary covenants and warranties, such as, among other things, a rolling four quarter interest coverage ratio required to be greater than or equal to 3.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. The Amended Long-Term Facility also includes limitations on the Company’s ability to (or to permit any subsidiaries to), subject to various exceptions and limitations: (i) merge with other companies; (ii) create liens on its property; and (iii) incur debt at the subsidiary level. We were in compliance with our interest coverage ratio under the Amended Long-Term Facility as of June 30, 2024.
In addition to the committed $3.5 billion Amended Long-Term Facility and the committed $1.5 billion term loan, we have committed credit facilities in Brazil and India. These committed credit facilities provide borrowings up to approximately $192 million at June 30, 2024 and $218 million at December 31, 2023, based on exchange rates then in effect, respectively. These committed credit facilities have maturities that run through 2025.
We had $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion drawn on the committed credit facilities (representing amounts outstanding on the term loan facility) at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Notes Payable
Notes payable, which consist of short-term borrowings payable to banks or commercial paper, are generally used to fund working capital requirements. The fair value of our notes payable approximates the carrying amount due to the short maturity of these obligations.
The following table summarizes the carrying value of notes payable at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Millions of dollars |  | June 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Commercial paper |  | $ | 755 |  |  | $ | — |
Short-term borrowings due to banks |  | 23 |  |  | 17 |
Total notes payable |  | $ | 778 |  |  | $ | 17 |

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
In an effort to manage economic and geographic trade customer risk, from time to time, the Company will transfer, primarily without recourse, accounts receivable balances of certain customers to financial institutions resulting in a nominal impact recorded in interest and sundry (income) expense. These transactions are accounted for as sales of the receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. These transfers do not require continuing involvement from the Company.
Certain arrangements include servicing of transferred receivables by Whirlpool. Outstanding accounts receivable transferred under arrangements where the Company continues to service the transferred asset were $138 million as of June 30, 2024 and $227 million as of December 31, 2023. The amount of cash proceeds received under these arrangements was $269 million and $101 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
BEFIEX Credits and Other Brazil Tax Matters
In previous years, our Brazilian operations earned tax credits under the Brazilian government's export incentive program (BEFIEX). These credits reduced Brazilian federal excise taxes on domestic sales. Our Brazilian operations have received tax assessments for income and social contribution taxes associated with certain monetized BEFIEX credits. We do not believe BEFIEX credits are subject to income or social contribution taxes. We have not provided for income or social contribution taxes on these BEFIEX credits, and based on the opinions of tax and legal advisors, we have not accrued any amount related to these assessments at June 30, 2024. The total amount of outstanding tax assessments received for income and social contribution taxes relating to the BEFIEX credits, including interest and penalties, is approximately 2.3 billion Brazilian reais (approximately $419 million at June 30, 2024).
Relying on existing Brazilian legal precedent, in 2003 and 2004, we recognized tax credits in an aggregate amount of $26 million, adjusted for currency, on the purchase of raw materials used in production ("IPI tax credits"). The Brazilian tax authority subsequently challenged the recording of IPI tax credits. No such credits have been recognized since 2004. In 2009, we entered into a Brazilian government program ("IPI Amnesty") which provided extended payment terms and reduced penalties and interest to encourage taxpayers to resolve this and certain other disputed tax credit amounts. As permitted by the program, we elected to settle certain debts through the use of other existing tax credits and recorded charges of approximately $34 million in 2009 associated with these matters. In July 2012, the Brazilian revenue authority notified us that a portion of our proposed settlement was rejected and we received tax assessments of 290 million Brazilian reais (approximately $52 million at June 30, 2024), reflecting interest and penalties to date. The government's assessment in this case relies heavily on its arguments regarding taxability of BEFIEX credits for certain years, which we are disputing in one of the BEFIEX government assessment cases cited in the prior paragraph. Because the IPI Amnesty case (which has concluded at all judicial levels except the Brazil Supreme Court) is moving faster than the BEFIEX taxability case, we could be required to pay the IPI Amnesty assessment before obtaining a final decision in the BEFIEX taxability case.
We have received tax assessments from the Brazilian federal tax authorities relating to amounts allegedly due regarding insurance taxes (PIS/COFINS) for tax credits recognized since 2007. These credits were recognized for inputs to certain manufacturing and other business processes. These assessments are being challenged at the administrative and judicial levels in Brazil. The total amount of outstanding tax assessments received for credits recognized for PIS/COFINS inputs is approximately 388 million Brazilian reais (approximately $70 million at June 30, 2024). Based on the opinion of our tax and legal advisors, we have not accrued any amount related to these assessments.
In addition to the BEFIEX, IPI tax credit and PIS/COFINS inputs matters noted above, other assessments issued by the Brazilian tax authorities related to indirect and income tax matters, and other matters, are at various stages of review in numerous administrative and judicial proceedings. We are vigorously defending our positions related to BEFIEX credits and other Brazil Tax Matters. The amounts related to these assessments will continue to be increased by monetary adjustments at the Selic rate, which is the benchmark rate set by the Brazilian Central Bank. In accordance with our accounting policies, we routinely assess these matters and, when necessary, record our best estimate of a loss.
Litigation is inherently unpredictable and the conclusion of these matters may take many years to ultimately resolve. Amounts at issue in potential future litigation could increase as a result of interest and penalties in future periods. Accordingly, it is possible that an unfavorable outcome in these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements in any particular reporting period.

Latin America Tax Review
In the first quarter of 2023, we accrued an immaterial amount in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements related to prior-period Value Added Tax (VAT) remittances in our Latin America region. We resolved certain aspects of this matter in the second quarter of 2023 and the overall financial statement impact of such resolution was immaterial. We continue to review tax matters within the region for any potential additional impacts, if any; certain matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements in any particular reporting period.
Other Litigation
We are currently vigorously defending a number of other lawsuits related to the manufacture and sale of our products which include class action allegations, and may become involved in similar actions. These lawsuits allege claims which include negligence, breach of contract, breach of warranty, product liability and safety claims, false advertising, fraud, and violation of federal and state regulations, including consumer protection laws. In general, we do not have insurance coverage for class action lawsuits. We are also involved in various other legal actions arising in the normal course of business, for which insurance coverage may or may not be available depending on the nature of the action. We dispute the merits of these suits and actions, and intend to vigorously defend them. Management believes, based upon its current knowledge, after taking into consideration legal counsel's evaluation of such suits and actions, and after taking into account current litigation accruals, that the outcome of these matters currently pending against Whirlpool should not have a material adverse effect, if any, on our financial statements.
Indemnified Legacy MDA Europe Legal Matters - Competition Investigation & Grenfell Tower
In 2013, the French Competition Authority ("FCA") commenced an investigation of appliance manufacturers and retailers in France, including Whirlpool and Indesit. The FCA investigation was split into two parts, and in December 2018, we finalized a settlement with the FCA on the first part of the investigation. The second part of the FCA investigation, which is focused primarily on manufacturer interactions with retailers, is ongoing. The Company has agreed to a preliminary settlement range with the FCA and recorded a charge of approximately $69 million in the first half of 2023. The Company expects the settlement amount to be finalized in the second half of 2024. The Company provided Beko approximately $68 million in connection with transaction closing in the second quarter of 2024, to be used for payment of final settlement amounts.
On June 23, 2017, London's Metropolitan Police Service released a statement that it had identified a Hotpoint–branded refrigerator as the initial source of the Grenfell Tower fire in West London. U.K. authorities are conducting investigations, including regarding the cause and spread of the fire. The model in question was manufactured by Indesit Company between 2006 and 2009, prior to Whirlpool's acquisition of Indesit in 2014. We are fully cooperating with the investigating authorities. Whirlpool was named as a defendant in a product liability suit in Pennsylvania federal court related to this matter. The federal court dismissed the case with prejudice in September 2020 and the dismissal was affirmed on appeal in July 2022. Plaintiffs filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court in January 2023 which was subsequently denied. In December 2020, lawsuits related to Grenfell Tower were filed in the U.K. against approximately 20 defendants, including Whirlpool Corporation and certain Whirlpool subsidiaries. In 2022, we accrued an immaterial amount related to these claims in our financial statements. Additional claims may be filed related to this incident.

In the normal course of business, we engage in investigations of potential quality and safety issues. As part of our ongoing effort to deliver quality products to consumers, we are currently investigating certain potential quality and safety issues globally. As necessary, we undertake to effect repair or replacement of appliances in the event that an investigation leads to the conclusion that such action is warranted.
Guarantees
We have guarantee arrangements in a Brazilian subsidiary. For certain creditworthy customers, the subsidiary guarantees customer lines of credit at commercial banks to support purchases following its normal credit policies. If a customer were to default on its line of credit with the bank, our subsidiary would be required to assume the line of credit and satisfy the obligation with the bank. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the guaranteed amounts totaled 1.0 billion Brazilian reais (approximately $183 million at June 30, 2024) and 1.3 billion Brazilian reais (approximately $273 million at December 31, 2023), respectively. The fair value of these guarantees were nominal at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Our subsidiary insures against a significant portion of this credit risk for these guarantees, under normal operating conditions, through policies purchased from high-quality underwriters.
We provide guarantees of indebtedness and lines of credit for various consolidated subsidiaries. The maximum contractual amount of indebtedness and lines of credit available under these lines for consolidated subsidiaries totaled approximately $2.6 billion at June 30, 2024 and $3.0 billion at December 31, 2023, respectively. Our total short-term outstanding bank indebtedness under guarantees (excluding those related to the European major domestic appliance business) was $23 million and $17 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(8) HEDGES AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative instruments are accounted for at fair value based on market rates. Derivatives where we elect hedge accounting are designated as either cash flow, fair value or net investment hedges. Derivatives that are not accounted for based on hedge accounting are marked to market through earnings. If the designated cash flow hedges are highly effective, the gains and losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the hedged items when they occur. In the event it becomes probable the forecasted transaction to which a cash flow hedge relates will not occur, the derivative would be terminated and the amount in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) would be recognized in earnings. The fair value of the hedge asset or liability is presented in either other current assets / liabilities or other noncurrent assets / liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets and in other within cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.
Using derivative instruments means assuming counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk relates to the loss we could incur if a counterparty were to default on a derivative contract. We generally deal with investment grade counterparties and monitor the overall credit risk and exposure to individual counterparties. We do not anticipate nonperformance by any counterparties. The amount of counterparty credit exposure is limited to the unrealized gains, if any, on such derivative contracts. We do not require nor do we post collateral on such contracts.
Hedging Strategy
In the normal course of business, we manage risks relating to our ongoing business operations including those arising from changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Fluctuations in these rates and prices can affect our operating results and financial condition. We use a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative instruments, to manage these risks. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Commodity Price Risk
We enter into commodity derivative contracts on various commodities to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases and sales of material used in our manufacturing process. The objective of these hedges is to reduce the variability of cash flows associated with the forecasted purchases and sales of commodities.
Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk
We incur expenses associated with the procurement and production of products in a limited number of countries, while we sell in the local currencies of a large number of countries. Our primary foreign currency exchange exposures result from cross-currency sales of products. As a result, we enter into foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain firm commitments and forecasted transactions to acquire products and services that are denominated in foreign currencies. We enter into certain undesignated non-functional currency asset and liability hedges that relate primarily to short-term payables, receivables, intercompany loans and dividends. When we hedge a foreign currency denominated payable or receivable with a derivative, the effect of changes in the foreign exchange rates are reflected currently in interest and sundry (income) expense for both the payable/receivable and the derivative. Therefore, as a result of the economic hedge, we do not elect hedge accounting.
We also enter into hedges to mitigate currency risk primarily related to forecasted foreign currency denominated expenditures, intercompany financing agreements and royalty agreements and designate them as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified to earnings to offset the impact of the hedged items when they occur.
We may enter into cross-currency interest rate swaps to manage our exposure relating to cross-currency debt. Outstanding notional amounts of cross-currency interest rate swap agreements were $618 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
19

We may enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure. Our interest rate swap agreements, if any, effectively modify our exposure to interest rate risk, primarily through converting certain floating rate debt to a fixed rate basis, or certain fixed rate debt to a floating rate basis. These agreements involve either the receipt or payment of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments or receipts, respectively, over the life of the agreements without an exchange of the underlying principal amounts. We may enter into swap rate lock agreements to effectively reduce our exposure to interest rate risk by locking in interest rates on probable long-term debt issuances. There were no outstanding notional amounts of interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
We may enter into instruments that are designated and qualify as a net investment hedge to manage our exposure related to foreign currency denominated investments. The effective portion of the instruments' gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The gain or loss will be subsequently reclassified into net earnings when the underlying net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. The remaining change in fair value of the hedge instruments represents the ineffective portion, which is immediately recognized in interest and sundry (income) expense on our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). There were no outstanding notional amounts of net investment hedges as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The following table summarizes our outstanding derivative contracts and their effects in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(5)Change in gain (loss) recognized in OCI (effective portion) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily driven by fluctuations in currency and commodity prices and interest rates compared to prior year. The tax impact of the cash flow hedges was $(23) million and $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(6)Change in gain (loss) reclassified from OCI into earnings (effective portion) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by fluctuations in currency and commodity prices and interest rates compared to prior year.
For cash flow hedges, the amount of ineffectiveness recognized in interest and sundry (income) expense was nominal for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. There were no hedges designated as fair value for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The net amount of unrealized gain or loss on derivative instruments included in accumulated OCI related to contracts maturing and expected to be realized during the next twelve months is a loss of $31 million at June 30, 2024.
(9) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is measured based on an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on a market valuation approach using prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tiered fair value hierarchy is established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable, either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the valuation of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

|  |  |  |  |  | Fair Value

(1)Short-term investments are primarily comprised of money market funds and highly liquid, low risk investments with initial maturities less than 90 days.
The non-recurring fair values represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value during the reporting period.
European Major Domestic Appliance Business
On January 16, 2023, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with Arçelik A.Ş (“Arcelik”). Under the terms of the agreement, Whirlpool agreed to contribute its European major domestic appliance business, and Arcelik agreed to contribute its European major domestic appliance, consumer electronics, air conditioning, and small domestic appliance businesses into the newly formed entity of which Whirlpool owns 25% and Arcelik 75%.
On December 20, 2022, the Company's board authorized the transaction with Arcelik and the European major domestic appliance business was classified as held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2022. The disposal group was measured at fair value less cost to sell. We used a discounted cash flow analysis and multiple market data points in our analysis to determine fair value (Level 3 input) of the 25% interest retained, resulting in an estimated fair value of $139 million. The discounted cash flow analysis utilized a discount rate of 16.5% at December 31, 2022.
During the first quarter of 2024, the fair value of the disposal group was updated based on working capital adjustments, cash flow assumptions, and changes in discount rates. This updated assessment resulted in an estimated fair value of $227 million as of March 31, 2024, which consists of $186 million related to fair value of retained interest in Beko Europe B.V. ("Beko") and $41 million of proceeds from the sale of MENA business.
Subsequent to closing of the transaction, the Company holds an equity interest of 25% in Beko. The fair value of the investment in Beko at the date of deconsolidation was calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis and multiple market data points (Level 3 input), resulting in a fair value of $186 million. The discounted cash flow analysis utilized a discount rate of 15.5%.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a loss of $45 million and $292 million, respectively, to the loss on sale and disposal of businesses. The transaction closed on April 1, 2024 and no material fair value adjustments were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024 related to the contribution of our European major domestic appliance business. The loss of $247 million in the first quarter of 2024, reflected ongoing reassessment of the fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group and transaction costs. The incremental loss of $45 million in the second quarter of 2024 reflects a provision for tax related indemnities and transaction costs.
For additional information see Note 14 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Other Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of long-term debt (including current maturities) was $6.3 billion and $6.9 billion at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and was estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 2 input).

On February 14, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $2 billion in share repurchases under the Company's ongoing share repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 455,952 shares under the share repurchase program at an aggregate price of approximately $50 million. At June 30, 2024, there were approximately $2.5 billion in remaining funds authorized under this program.
Share repurchases are made from time to time on the open market as conditions warrant. The program does not obligate us to repurchase any of our shares and has no expiration date.
(11) RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
We periodically take action to improve operating efficiencies, typically in connection with business acquisitions or changes in the economic environment. Our footprint and headcount reductions and organizational integration actions relate to discrete, unique restructuring events, primarily reflected in the following plans.
In March 2024, the Company committed to workforce reduction plans in the United States and globally, in an effort to reduce complexity and simplify our organizational model after the European major domestic appliance transaction. The workforce reduction plans included involuntary severance actions as of the end of the first quarter of 2024. Total expected costs for these actions is $23 million, of which we incurred $14 million in employee termination costs and $9 million other associated costs within the first quarter. All of these costs will result in cash settlements primarily in 2024.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company evaluated additional restructuring actions as part of the Company's organizational simplification efforts. Total costs for these actions were $50 million, primarily in employee termination costs, which were incurred within the second quarter of 2024.
The following table summarizes the changes to our restructuring liability during the six months ended June 30, 2024:

Millions of Dollars | December 31, 2023 | Charge to Earnings | Cash Paid | Non-Cash and Other | June 30, 2024
Employee Termination | $ | 10 |  | $ | 62 |  | $ | (54) |  | $ | (7) |  | $ | 11 |
Other exit costs | — |  | 11 |  | (2) |  | — |  | 9 |
Total | $ | 10 |  | $ | 73 |  | $ | (56) |  | $ | (7) |  | $ | 20 |

(12) INCOME TAXES
Income tax benefit was $(206) million and $(130) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to income tax expense of $114 million and $182 million for the same periods of 2023. The decrease in tax expense is primarily due to an overall lower level of earnings and tax benefits related to the completion of legal entity restructuring projects in connection with the disposal of our European major appliance business, partially offset by associated valuation allowances.
The following table summarizes the difference between income tax expense (benefit) at the U.S. statutory rate of 21% and the income tax expense (benefit) at effective worldwide tax rates for the respective periods:

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
Millions of dollars | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Earnings (Loss) before income taxes | $ | 30 |  |  | $ | 204 |  |  | $ | (148) |  |  | $ | 95 |

Income tax expense (benefit) computed at effective worldwide tax rates | $ | (206) |  |  | $ | 114 |  |  | $ | (130) |  |  | $ | 182 |

At the end of each interim period, we estimate the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjust the quarterly rate as necessary.

(13) SEGMENT INFORMATION
Beginning January 1, 2024, we reorganized our operating segment structure to better represent the revised structure within our portfolio transformation, including a greater focus on our strong value creating small domestic appliance business. The Company implemented this change to align with the Company's new operating structure, consistent with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates performance and allocates resources in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting.
Our reportable segments consist of Major Domestic Appliances ("MDA") North America; MDA Europe, MDA Latin America; MDA Asia; and Small Domestic Appliances ("SDA") Global. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. The MDA Europe business was deconsolidated upon the completion of the European contribution agreement transaction with Arcelik as of April 1, 2024. For additional information see Note 14 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The chief operating decision maker, who is the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates performance based on each segment's earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (EBIT), which we define as operating profit less interest and sundry (income) expense and excluding restructuring costs, asset impairment charges and certain other items that management believes are not indicative of the region's ongoing performance, if any. Total assets by segment are those assets directly associated with the respective operating activities. The "Other/Eliminations" column primarily includes corporate expenses, assets and eliminations, as well as restructuring costs, asset impairment charges and certain other items that management believes are not indicative of the region's ongoing performance, if any. Intersegment sales are eliminated within each segment. The tables below summarize performance by operating segment for the periods presented:

(14) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
European Major Domestic Appliance Business Held for Sale
On January 16, 2023, Whirlpool entered into a contribution agreement with Arçelik B.V. (“Arcelik”) to carve out and contribute our major domestic appliance European business operations into a newly formed European appliance company which constitutes a combination of Arcelik’s and Whirlpool's European businesses. The sale includes the Company's major domestic appliance business in Europe, including nine production sites.
On June 22, 2023, Whirlpool entered into a share purchase agreement with Arcelik for the sale of our Middle East and North Africa ("MENA") business. The sale was previously agreed upon in principle and announced on January 17, 2023, as part of the outcome of Whirlpool’s strategic review of the EMEA business. The financial impact of the MENA transaction has been included in the loss on sale and disposal of businesses related to the European major domestic appliance business transaction as discussed further below.
The disposal group met the criteria for held for sale accounting during the fourth quarter of 2022. The operations of the European disposal group did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations.
On April 1, 2024, the parties closed the aforementioned contribution transaction and MENA sale. Upon closing in the second quarter of 2024, the transaction resulted in the deconsolidation of the European major appliances and MENA businesses. Whirlpool owns approximately 25% and Arcelik owns approximately 75% of the European appliance company ("Beko"). In connection with the transactions, we recorded a loss on disposal of $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. The loss includes a write-down of the net assets of $1.2 billion of the disposal group to a fair value of $139 million and also includes $393 million of cumulative currency translation adjustments, $98 million of other comprehensive loss on pension and $18 million of other transaction related costs. No goodwill is included in the disposal group.
We recorded an adjustment of $45 million and $292 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in a total loss of $1.9 billion for the transaction. These adjustments are recorded in the loss on sale and disposal of businesses and reflect ongoing reassessment of the fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group, transaction costs and provision for tax related indemnities recorded at closing of the transaction.
Both Whirlpool and Arcelik retain an option for Arcelik to purchase the remaining equity interest in Beko for fair value, which could be material to the financial statements of the Company, depending on the performance of the business.

On November 30, 2023, the Company announced its intention to enter into one or more transactions to sell up to 24% of the outstanding shares of its publicly listed Whirlpool of India Limited subsidiary (“Whirlpool India”) in 2024, and to retain a majority interest following completion of the sale.
On February 20, 2024, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Whirlpool Mauritius Limited (“Seller”), executed the sale of 30.4 million equity shares of Whirlpool India via an on-market trade. The sale, which was accounted for as an equity transaction, reduced Seller’s ownership in Whirlpool India from 75% to 51%, and generated proceeds of $462 million on settlement.
Latin America sale of Brastemp water filtration subscription business
On January 16, 2024, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with a third-party buyer to sell the Company's Brastemp-branded water filtration subscription business in the Latin America region and the transaction closed on July 1, 2024. The Company received proceeds of approximately 294 million Brazilian reais (approximately $52 million at the date of transaction) and expects to record a gain of approximately $32 million during the third quarter of 2024. The disposal group met the criteria of held for sale at December 31, 2023. The carrying amounts of the disposal group's assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are immaterial. The disposal group's earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, are also immaterial.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to promote understanding of the results of operations and financial condition of the Company and generally discusses the results of operations for the current three and six months ended periods compared to the same prior-year periods. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in connection with, the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

ABOUT WHIRLPOOL
Whirlpool Corporation ("Whirlpool") is a leading kitchen and laundry appliance company, in constant pursuit of improving life at home and inspiring generations with our brands. The company is driving meaningful innovation to meet the evolving needs of consumers through its iconic brand portfolio, including Whirlpool, KitchenAid, JennAir, Maytag, Amana, Brastemp, Consul, and InSinkErato r. In 2023, the Company reported approximately $19 billion in annual sales, 59,000 employees, and 55 manufacturing and technology research centers. Beginning January 1, 2024, we are conducting our business through five operating segments, which consist of Major Domestic Appliances ("MDA") North America; MDA Europe (deconsolidated as of April 1, 2024), MDA Latin America; MDA Asia; and Small Domestic Appliances ("SDA") Global.

OVERVIEW
Whirlpool delivered second-quarter GAAP net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool of $219 million (net earnings margin of 5.5%), or $3.96 per share, compared to GAAP net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool of $85 million (net earnings margin of 1.8%), or $1.55 per share in the same prior-year period. Whirlpool delivered cash provided by (used in) operating activities of $(485) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $(370) million in the same prior year period and free cash flow (non-GAAP) of $(713) million, compared to free cash flow of $(587) million in the same prior year period.
Whirlpool delivered second-quarter ongoing (non-GAAP) earnings per share of $2.39 and ongoing EBIT margin of 5.3%, compared to $4.21 and 7.3% in the same prior-year period.
On a GAAP basis, net earnings margins were impacted by adjustments recorded in the loss on sale and disposal of businesses (see Note 14 for further information) and restructuring expenses related to organizational simplification. On a GAAP and ongoing basis, quarterly results were impacted by negative price/mix, partially offset by cost takeout actions. On a GAAP basis, net earnings were also impacted by lower income tax expense, primarily due to an overall lower level of earnings and tax benefits related to the completion of legal entity restructuring projects in connection with the disposal of our European major appliance business, partially offset by associated valuation allowances.
We continue to take actions to deliver shareholder value as we navigate through a challenging macro environment in North America, demonstrated by the completion of our global organizational simplification and MDA North America promotional program price increase actions. We remain confident in delivering $300-$400 million of cost take out and continued sequential margin progression through 2024.

(1) Not meaningful ("nm")
(2) As a result of the GAAP earnings loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2024, respectively, the impact of antidilutive shares was excluded from the loss per share calculation on a GAAP basis.
Consolidated net sales decreased 16.8% and 10.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily driven by divestiture of our European major domestic appliances business. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, net sales decreased 16.0% and 10.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in 2023.
The consolidated gross margin percentage for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to 15.7% and 14.9% compared to 17.0% and 16.7% in the same prior-year periods. The decrease was primarily driven by volume and unfavorable product price/mix, partially offset by cost productivity.
Beginning January 1, 2024, we are conducting our business through five operating segments, which consist of MDA North America; MDA Europe (deconsolidated as of April 1, 2024); MDA Latin America; MDA Asia; and SDA Global. The chief operating decision maker evaluates performance based on each segment's earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (EBIT), which we define as operating profit less interest and sundry (income) expense and excluding restructuring costs, asset impairment charges and certain other items that management believes are not indicative of the region's ongoing performance, if any. For additional information, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The following is a discussion of results for each of our operating segments. Each of our operating segments have been impacted by some disruptions in supply chains and distribution channels, among other macroeconomic impacts.

(1) Effective January 1st, 2024, we reorganized our operating segment structure. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. For additional information, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
(2) Not meaningful ("nm")
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to the disposal of our European major domestic appliance business on April 1, 2024.
For additional information, see Notes 1 and 14 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Restructuring
We incurred restructuring charges of $50 million and $73 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $9 million and $9 million for the same periods in 2023. For additional information, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
For the full year 2024, we expect to incur approximately $75-80 million of restructuring charges, inclusive of the $73 million recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Substantially all will result in cash settlement.
37

(Gain) Loss on Sale and Disposal of Businesses
The European disposal group was deconsolidated as of April 1, 2024. We recorded an adjustment of $45 million and $247 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in a total loss of $1.9 billion for the transaction. These adjustments are recorded in the loss on sale and disposal of businesses and reflect the reassessment of the fair value less costs to sell of the disposal group, transaction costs and provision for tax related indemnities recorded at closing of the transaction.
We recorded an adjustment of $18 million and $240 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 which reflected the reassessment of the fair value less costs to sell, primarily driven by fluctuations of net working capital, of the disposal group and transaction costs.
For additional information, see Note 14 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Interest and Sundry (Income) Expense
Net interest and sundry expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same prior year periods in 2023. The decrease for the six months ended is primarily due to reserves for legacy EMEA legal matters recorded in the prior year.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $93 million and $183 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $89 million and $164 million in the same prior year periods of 2023. The increase is primarily due to higher interest rates.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit was $(206) million and $(130) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to income tax expense of $114 million and $182 million in the same prior year periods of 2023. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to an overall lower level of earnings and tax benefits related to the completion of legal entity restructuring projects in connection with the disposal of our European major appliance business, partially offset by associated valuation allowances. For more information, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Other Information
Our Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles are disclosed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
We continue to monitor the significant global economic uncertainty to assess the outlook for demand for our products and the impact on our business and our overall financial performance. Our Maytag and InSinkErator trademarks continue to be at risk at June 30, 2024. None of our reporting units or other indefinite-lived intangible assets are presently at risk for future impairment.
For additional information, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Background
Our objective is to finance our business through operating cash flow and the appropriate mix of long-term and short-term debt. By diversifying the maturity structure, we avoid concentrations of debt, reducing liquidity risk. We have varying needs for short-term working capital financing as a result of the nature of our business. We regularly review our capital structure and liquidity priorities, which include funding innovation and growth through capital expenditures and research and development expenditures as well as opportunistic mergers and acquisitions; and providing returns to shareholders through dividends, share repurchases and maintaining our strong investment grade rating.
38

The Company believes that free cash flow provides stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing Whirlpool's ability to fund its activities and obligations. Whirlpool has historically been able to leverage its strong free cash flow generation to fund our operations, pay for any debt servicing costs and allocate capital for reinvestment in our business, funding share repurchases and dividend payments.
On February 20, 2024, Whirlpool’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Whirlpool Mauritius Limited, executed the sale of 30.4 million equity shares of Whirlpool India via an on-market trade. The transaction reduced Whirlpool’s ownership in Whirlpool India from 75% to 51%, and generated sales proceeds of approximately $462 million on settlement. The Company used transaction proceeds to reduce debt.
Our short-term potential uses of liquidity include funding our business operations, ongoing capital spending, debt repayment, and returns to shareholders. As of June 30, 2024, we had $350 million of debt maturing within the next twelve months, which we expect to pay through refinancing, free cash flow generation, cash on hand, or a combination thereof.
We monitor the credit ratings and market indicators of credit risk of our lending, depository, derivative counterparty banks, and customers regularly, and take certain actions to manage credit risk. We diversify our deposits and investments in short-term cash equivalents to limit the concentration of exposure by counterparty.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.2 billion at June 30, 2024. For cash in each of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company makes an assertion regarding the amount of earnings intended for permanent reinvestment, with the balance available to be repatriated to the United States. The cash held by foreign subsidiaries for permanent reinvestment is generally used to finance the subsidiaries' operational activities and expected future foreign investments. Our intent is to permanently reinvest these funds outside of the United States and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate the cash to fund our U.S. operations. However, if these funds were repatriated, we would be required to accrue and pay applicable United States taxes (if any) and withholding taxes payable to various countries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of the deferred tax liability associated with the repatriation of cash due to the complexity of its hypothetical calculation.
At June 30, 2024, we had cash or cash equivalents greater than 1% of our consolidated assets in Brazil (2.4%) and India (1.9%). In addition, we had third-party accounts receivable outside of the United States greater than 1% of our consolidated assets in Brazil, which represented 2.3%. We continue to monitor general financial instability and uncertainty globally.
Revolving credit facility and other committed credit facilities
The Company maintains a $3.5 billion revolving credit facility and a committed $1.5 billion term loan as of June 30, 2024. In addition to these facilities, we have committed credit facilities in Brazil and India that provide borrowings up to approximately $192 million at June 30, 2024.
We were in compliance with our interest coverage ratio under the revolving credit facility and term loan as of June 30, 2024. For additional information, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Notes payable
Notes payable consists of short-term borrowings payable to banks and commercial paper, which are generally used to fund working capital requirements. At June 30, 2024, we have $778 million of notes payable outstanding primarily under the revolving credit facility or commercial paper programs. For additional information, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Trade customers
We continue to review customer conditions globally. We had no material impacts from customer insolvencies during the three months ended June 30, 2024, nor do we have immediate visibility into material customer insolvency situations occurring in the future. We continue to monitor these situations, considering each geographic region, the unique credit risk specific to the country, marketplace and economic environment, and take appropriate risk mitigation steps.

Sources and Uses of Cash
The following table summarizes the net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented:

|  | Six Months Ended June 30,
Millions of dollars |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Cash provided by (used in): |  |  |  |
Operating activities |  | $ | (485) |  |  | $ | (370) |
Investing activities |  | (432) |  |  | (222) |
Financing activities |  | 501 |  |  | (110) |

Less: (decrease) increase in cash classified as held for sale |  | — |  |  | (2) |
Net change in cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | (488) |  |  | $ | (649) |

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities increased during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same prior year period in 2023. The increase in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by fluctuations in working capital due to lower inventory from reduced sales volumes, along with increases in accrued expenses and deferred taxes due to the deconsolidation of MDA Europe business.
The timing of cash flows from operations varies significantly throughout the year primarily due to changes in production levels, sales patterns, promotional programs, funding requirements, credit management, as well as receivable and payment terms. Depending on the timing of cash flows, the location of cash balances, as well as the liquidity requirements of each country, external sources of funding are used to support working capital requirements.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to a decrease of $245 million due to divestitures, representing cash and cash equivalents held in MDA Europe.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to increased short-term borrowings and the sale of minority interest shares in Whirlpool India.
Financing Arrangements
The Company had total committed credit facilities of approximately $5.2 billion at June 30, 2024. These facilities are geographically reflective of the Company's global operations. The Company is confident that the committed credit facilities are sufficient to support its global operations. We had $1.5 billion and $2.0 billion drawn on the committed credit facilities (representing amounts drawn on the term loan) at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which were used to fund the InSinkErator acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2022.
For additional information about our financing arrangements, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Dividends
On April 15, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $1.75 per share.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into agreements with financial institutions to issue bank guarantees, letters of credit, and surety bonds. These agreements are primarily associated with unresolved tax matters in Brazil, as is customary under local regulations, and other governmental obligations and debt agreements. At June 30, 2024, we had approximately $361 million outstanding under these agreements.
For additional information about our off-balance sheet arrangements, see Notes 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, some of which we refer to as "ongoing" measures, including:
•Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)
•EBIT margin
•Ongoing EBIT
•Ongoing earnings per diluted share
•Ongoing EBIT margin
•Sales excluding foreign currency
•Free cash flow
•Net debt leverage
Ongoing measures, including ongoing earnings per diluted share and ongoing EBIT, exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing operations and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. EBIT margin is calculated by dividing EBIT by net sales. Ongoing EBIT margin is calculated by dividing ongoing EBIT by net sales. Sales excluding foreign currency is calculated by translating the current period net sales, in functional currency, to U.S. dollars using the prior-year period's exchange rate compared to the prior-year period net sales. Management believes that sales excluding foreign currency provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess our results over time, excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. Management believes that Net Debt Leverage (Net Debt/Ongoing EBITDA) provides stockholders with a clearer basis to assess the Company's ability to pay off its incurred debt. We also disclose segment EBIT, which we define as operating profit less interest and sundry (income) expense and excluding restructuring costs, asset impairment charges and certain other items, if any, that management believes are not indicative of the region's ongoing performance, as the financial metric used by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate performance and allocate resources in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting.
Management believes that free cash flow provides stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing Whirlpool's ability to fund its activities and obligations. The Company provides free cash flow related metrics, such as free cash flow as a percentage of net sales, as long-term management goals, not an element of its annual financial guidance, and as such does not provide a reconciliation of free cash flow to cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for these long-term goal metrics. Any such reconciliation would rely on market factors and certain other conditions and assumptions that are outside of the Company's control. Whirlpool does not provide a non-GAAP reconciliation for its other forward-looking long-term value creation and other goals, such as organic net sales, EBIT, and Net debt/Ongoing EBITDA, as such reconciliation would rely on market factors and certain other conditions and assumptions that are outside of the company’s control.
41

We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and stockholders in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance, and reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool, net sales, net earnings (loss) as a percentage of net sales (net earnings margin), net earnings (loss) per diluted share and cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We strongly encourage investors and stockholders to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Please refer to a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures below.

Ongoing Earnings Before Interest & Taxes (EBIT) Reconciliation: in millions | Three Months Ended June 30, |  |
2024 | 2023 |  |  |

Ongoing EBIT (2) | $ | 212 |  | $ | 352 |  |  |  |

(1)Net earnings (loss) margin is approximately 5.5% and (0.5)% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 1.8% and (1.0)% in the same prior year periods. Net earnings margin is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) available to Whirlpool by consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.
(2)Ongoing EBIT margin is approximately 5.3% and 4.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 7.3% and 6.4% in the same prior year periods. Ongoing EBIT margin is calculated by dividing Ongoing EBIT by consolidated net sales for the three and six months ended ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Footnotes
(a) RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE - In March 2024, the Company committed to workforce reduction plans. $23 million was recorded during the first quarter, of which $14 million was employee termination costs and $9 million was other associated exit costs. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company executed additional restructuring actions as part of the Company's complexity reduction and organizational simplification efforts. Total costs for these actions were $50 million, primarily in employee termination costs, which were incurred within the second quarter of 2024.
(b) IMPACT OF M&A TRANSACTIONS - On January 16, 2023, we signed a contribution agreement to contribute our European major domestic appliance business into a newly formed entity with Arçelik. In connection with the transaction, we recorded a loss on disposal of $292 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, of which $45 million was incurred in the second quarter of 2024. Additionally, we incurred other unique transaction related costs related to portfolio transformation for a total of $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, of which $5 million was incurred in the second quarter of 2024. These transaction costs are recorded in Selling, General and Administrative expenses on our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, a loss on disposal of $240 million was recorded, of which $18 million was recorded during the second quarter. Additionally, we incurred other unique transaction related costs related to portfolio transformation for a total of $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. These transaction costs are recorded in Selling, General and Administrative expenses on our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
(c) LEGACY MDA EUROPE LEGAL MATTERS - During the second quarter of 2023, the Company accrued $36 million related to the Competition Investigation and Trade Customer Insolvency matters of our European major domestic appliance business.
(d) NORMALIZED TAX RATE ADJUSTMENT - During the second quarter of 2024, the Company calculated a GAAP tax rate of (687)%. Ongoing earnings per share was calculated using an adjusted tax rate of (14)%, which excludes the non-tax deductible impact of M&A transactions of approximately $50 million recorded in the second quarter of 2024 and certain other tax impacts related to Europe transaction. The Company expects a full-year GAAP tax rate of approximately 25% and adjusted effective tax rate of approximately (8)%, revised from the prior quarter estimate primarily due to lower forecasted earnings before income taxes.
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company calculated ongoing earnings per share using an adjusted tax rate of 11%, which excludes the non-tax deductible impact of M&A transactions of approximately $26 million recorded in the second quarter of 2023. During the full-year of 2023, the Company calculated ongoing earnings per share using an adjusted tax rate of (7)% which excludes the non-tax deductible impact of M&A transactions of approximately $25 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 and which reflects certain tax benefits related to legal entity restructuring transactions in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Additionally, in the full-year 2024 outlook, the Company calculated ongoing earnings per share using a full-year adjusted tax (non-GAAP) rate of approximately (8)%. Subsequent to the closure of the Europe transaction, the Company has recorded certain significant tax benefits related to legal entity restructuring transactions. Additional tax impacts from legal entity restructuring projects are possible in future quarters, and those future impacts have been included in our expected full-year non-GAAP tax rate. Reconciling from our expected full-year GAAP tax rate of approximately 25%, certain Europe transaction tax impacts have been adjusted from our full-year adjusted tax (non-GAAP) rate of approximately (8)%.

FORWARD-LOOKING PERSPECTIVE
Earnings per diluted share presented below are net of tax. We currently estimate our anticipated 2024 full-year GAAP tax rate of approximately 25% and adjusted tax rate of approximately (8)%. We currently estimate earnings per diluted share for 2024 as follows:

| 2024
| Current Outlook
Estimated GAAP earnings per diluted share, for the year ending December 31, 2024 | ~$3.00
Including: |
Impact of M&A transactions | $5.75
Restructuring expense | $1.25
Income tax impact | $0.50
Normalized tax rate adjustment | $1.50
Industry Demand |
MDA North America | Flat
MDA Latin America | 5 - 7%
MDA Asia | 4 - 6%
SDA Global | Flat
MDA Europe (Q1 Actuals) | (1)%

For the full-year 2024, we expect to generate cash from operating activities of approximately $1,050 million and free cash flow of approximately $500 million, including restructuring cash outlays of approximately $75 million and capital expenditures of approximately $550 million.
Additionally, in the full-year 2024 outlook, the Company calculated ongoing earnings per share using a full-year adjusted tax (non-GAAP) rate of approximately (8)%. Subsequent to the closure of the Europe transaction, the Company has recorded certain significant tax benefits related to legal entity restructuring transactions. Additional tax impacts from legal entity restructuring projects are possible in future quarters, and those future impacts have been included in our expected full-year non-GAAP tax rate. Reconciling from our expected full-year GAAP tax rate of approximately 25%, certain Europe transaction tax impacts have been adjusted from our full-year adjusted tax (non-GAAP) rate of approximately (8)%.

The table below reconciles projected 2024 cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP to free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that free cash flow provides stockholders with a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing Whirlpool's ability to fund its activities and obligations. There are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures, including the difficulty associated with comparing companies that use similarly named non-GAAP measures whose calculations may differ from our calculations. We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. For additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures, see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Millions of dollars | 2024
Current Outlook
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities (1) | ~$1,050
Capital expenditures | ~$550
Free cash flow | ~$500

(1)Financial guidance on a GAAP basis for cash provided by (used in) financing activities and cash provided by (used in) investing activities has not been provided because in order to prepare any such estimate or projection, the Company would need to rely on market factors and certain other conditions and assumptions that are outside of its control.
The projections above are based on many estimates and are inherently subject to change based on future decisions made by management and the Board of Directors of Whirlpool, and significant economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
OTHER MATTERS
For additional information regarding certain of our loss contingencies/litigation, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Unfavorable outcomes in these proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements in any particular reporting period.
Antidumping Petitions
As previously reported, Whirlpool filed petitions in 2011 and 2015 alleging that Samsung, LG and Electrolux violated U.S. and international trade laws by dumping large residential washers into the U.S. Those petitions resulted in orders imposing antidumping duties on certain large residential washers imported from South Korea, Mexico, and China, and countervailing duties on certain large residential washers from South Korea. In March 2019, the order covering certain large residential washers from Mexico was extended for an additional five years, and is subject to an extension proceeding in 2024. In August 2022, the order covering certain large residential washers from China was extended for an additional five years.
Raw Materials and Global Economy
The current domestic and international political environment have contributed to uncertainty surrounding the future state of the global economy. We have experienced raw material inflation in certain prior years based on the impact of U.S. tariffs and other global macroeconomic factors. Due to many factors beyond our control, including the Israel-Palestinian conflict, the Red Sea conflict and its impact on shipping and logistics and government actions in China, among other factors, we expect to continue to be impacted by the following factors: a global shortage of certain components, a strain on raw material and input cost inflation, and fluctuations in logistics availability, timing and costs, all of which began easing in 2023 but remain volatile. This could require us to modify our current business practices, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial statements in any particular reporting period.
