FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains information about Crane NXT, Co., some of which includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements about our current condition. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of terms such as: “intends,” “believes,” “contemplates,” “expects,” “may,” “plans,” “seeks,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” or “anticipates,” other similar phrases, or the negatives of these terms. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this report, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, also to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We have based the forward-looking statements relating to our operations on our current expectations, estimates and projections about us and the markets we serve. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. These statements should be considered in conjunction with the discussion in Part I, the information set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and with the discussion of the business included in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Any differences could result from a variety of factors, including the following:
•Macroeconomic fluctuations may harm our business, results of operations and stock price;
•Demand for our products is variable and subject to factors beyond our control, which could result in unanticipated events significantly impacting our results of operations;
•We conduct a substantial portion of our business outside the U.S. and face risks inherent in non-domestic operations;
•Information systems and technology networks failures and breaches in data security, personally identifiable and other information, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such information, or a violation of our privacy and security policies with respect to such information, could adversely affect us;
•We may be unable to identify or to complete acquisitions, or to successfully integrate the businesses we acquire;
•Fluctuation in the prices of, or our ability to source, our components and raw materials, and delays in the distribution of our products could adversely affect our results of operations;
•We compete with other industrial technology businesses for highly qualified employees in the countries in which we operate, and we may not be able to retain our personnel or hire and retain additional personnel needed for us to sustain and grow our business as planned;
•We may be unable to successfully develop and introduce new products, which would limit our ability to grow and maintain our competitive position and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow;
•Our businesses are subject to governmental regulation; failure to comply with those regulations, as well as changes in those regulations, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reputation;
•Our business could be harmed if we are unable to protect our intellectual property;
•Our operations expose us to the risk of litigation, claims and investigations, including those related to product liability and warranties, and employee, commercial, intellectual property and environmental matters, that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reputation. We may not have sufficient insurance coverage or indemnification rights to cover such claims;
•We may be unable to improve productivity, reduce costs and align manufacturing capacity with customer demand;
•We face significant competition which may adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in the future;
•Additional tax expense or exposures could affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;
•Our future results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted by intangible asset impairment charges;
3

•If our internal controls are found to be ineffective, our financial results or our stock price may be adversely affected; and
•We are subject to risks related to the Separation that could negatively impact our results including not obtaining the intended tax treatment of the Separation transaction, failure of Crane Company to perform under the various transaction agreements and actual or potential conflicts of interest with Crane Company.
While the list of factors presented here and elsewhere in this report is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements.

Item 1. Business
General
Crane NXT is a premier industrial technology company that provides proprietary and trusted technology solutions to secure, detect, and authenticate what matters most to its customers. The company is a pioneer in advanced, proprietary micro-optics technology for securing physical products, as well as digital authentication, and its sophisticated electronic equipment and associated software leverages proprietary core capabilities with detection and sensing technologies. We are comprised of two reporting segments: Crane Payment Innovations (“CPI”) and Security and Authentication Technologies (“SAT”).
We are committed to delivering shareholder value by focusing on our proprietary and differentiated technology and investing in core businesses to capitalize on opportunities to enhance organic growth. We maintain a strong balance sheet with financial flexibility, allowing us the ability to expand the business through strategic acquisitions into higher-growth adjacencies. We continuously evaluate our portfolio, pursue acquisitions that complement our existing businesses and are accretive to our growth profile, and selectively divest businesses where appropriate. We foster a performance-based culture with clearly defined values and utilize our well-established Crane Business System (CBS) to drive operational excellence and profitable growth.
Separation
On April 3, 2023, Holdings was separated (the “Separation”) into two independent, publicly-traded companies, Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company (“SpinCo”), through a pro-rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all the issued and outstanding common stock of SpinCo to the stockholders of Holdings. As part of the Separation, the Aerospace & Electronics, Process Flow Technologies and Engineered Materials businesses of Holdings were spun off to SpinCo. Also, as part of the Separation, Holdings retained the Payment and Merchandising Technologies business and was renamed “Crane NXT, Co.” on April 3, 2023. Following the consummation of the Separation, our common stock is listed under the symbol “CXT” on the New York Stock Exchange.
Recent Transactions
Credit Facilities
We are party to a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) entered into on March 17, 2023, which provides for a $500 million, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), funding under which became available in connection with the Separation. On December 9, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement which increased the Revolving Facility by $200 million to an aggregate $700 million and provided a delayed draw term loan of 300 million British pounds to be used as part of the funding for the De La Rue Authentication Solutions acquisition discussed below, subject to customary closing conditions including the closing of the De La Rue Authentication Solutions transaction.
On March 17, 2023, we also entered into a $350 million, 3-year term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), funding under which became available in connection with the Separation. On December 9, 2024, proceeds from the Revolving Facility were used to repay the outstanding Term Facility.
OpSec Acquisition
On May 3, 2024, we acquired OpSec Security (“OpSec”), for a base purchase price of $270 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. OpSec is a global leader in brand protection and authentication solutions, serving the world’s most recognized brands, as well as government agencies and financial insti tutions.
De La Rue Authentication Solutions Acquisition
On October 15, 2024, we signed a definitive agreement with De La Rue Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of De La Rue plc, to acquire its authentication business (“De La Rue Authentication Solutions”) for 300 million British pounds in cash, subject to customary adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
De La Rue Authentication Solutions is a leading global provider of digital and physical security and authentication technologies to governments and brands. De La Rue Authentication Solutions will be included within the Security and Authentication Technologies segment upon close.

Key research and development and manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden and Malta.
Other Matters Relating to Our Business as a Whole
Competitive Conditions
Our businesses participate in markets that are highly competitive. Because of the diversity of products manufactured and sold, our businesses typically have a different set of competitors in each geographic area and end market in which they participate. Accordingly, it is not possible to estimate the number of competitors, or precise market share; however, we believe that we are a principal competitor in most of our markets. Our primary basis of competition is providing high quality products, with technological differentiation, at competitive prices, with superior customer service and timely delivery.
We are a leader in several distinct areas including materials and surface technology applied for anti-counterfeiting applications, differentiated capabilities in the design and manufacturing of detection systems, digital content protection technology, and image recognition software built on advance algorithms to authenticate products. Our products are sold into primary end markets which include payment automation solutions, banknote design and production, along with a wide range of consumer related and financial services end markets. As such, our revenues depend on numerous unpredictable factors, including changes in market demand, general economic conditions, customer capital spending, timing and amount of contract awards and credit availability. Since our products are sold in such a wide variety of markets, we do not believe that we can reliably quantify or predict the potential effects of changes in any of the aforementioned factors. Our engineering and product development activities are focused on improving existing products, customizing existing products to meet customer requirements, as well as the development of new products. We own numerous patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and licenses to intellectual property, none of which is of such importance that termination would materially affect our business. From time to time, we engage in litigation to protect our intellectual property.
Raw Materials
Our manufacturing operations employ a wide variety of raw materials, including steel, copper, electronic components, aluminum, plastics, cotton, flax, films and various petroleum-based products. We purchase raw materials from many independent sources around the world. Although market forces have, at times, caused increases in the costs of key raw materials, there have been no raw materials shortages that have had a material adverse impact on our business. We believe that we will generally be able to obtain adequate supplies of major raw material requirements or reasonable substitutes at acceptable costs. For a further discussion of risks related to raw materials, please refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”
8

Government Contracts
We have agreements relating to the sale of products to government entities, primarily involving products in our Security and Authentication Technologies segment. As a result, we are subject to various statutes and regulations that apply to companies doing business with the government. The laws and regulations governing government contracts differ from those governing private contracts. For example, some government contracts require disclosure of cost and pricing data and impose certain sourcing conditions that are not applicable to private contracts. Our failure to comply with these laws could result in suspension of these contracts, criminal or civil sanctions, administrative penalties and fines or suspension or debarment from government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. For a further discussion of risks related to compliance with government contracting requirements, please refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”
Environmental Compliance and Climate Change
We are regulated by federal, state and international environmental laws governing our use, transport and disposal of substances and control of emissions. Our manufacturing facilities generally do not produce significant volumes or quantities of byproducts that would be considered hazardous waste or otherwise harmful to the environment if not properly handled or maintained. Accordingly, continued compliance with these existing laws has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures or earnings.
For further discussion of environmental related risks, please refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” For further discussion of our environmental matters, please refer to Part II, Item 8 under Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
Human Capital Resources
To remain a premier industrial technology company, it is important that we continue to attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent across our global enterprise. Our associates are critical to our success, and we are committed to sustaining our culture grounded in our core values: people matter, do the right thing, trusted partner, innovate for growth, always improving.
The Company has a diverse global workforce located in 32 countries, spanning six continents. At December 31, 2024, we employed approximately 4,500 persons worldwide, of which substantially all were full time employees. In the United States, we employed approximately 2,000 people across 42 locations. Employees based in some foreign countries may, from time to time, be represented by works councils or unions or subject to collective bargaining agreements. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
To be an employer of choice and maintain the strength of our workforce, we consistently assess the current business environment and labor market to refine our compensation and benefits programs and other resources available to our associates. We are committed to developing our associates personally and professionally by leveraging a structured and disciplined Intellectual Capital (“IC”) process. Our regular IC cadence includes constructive reviews and various talent and leadership development initiatives conducted by the executive management team and provided throughout an associate’s career. We are also committed to an inclusive and high-performance culture at all levels of the organization, based on trust and respect.
The manufacture and production of our products requires the use of a variety of tools, equipment, materials, and supplies. At Crane NXT, we are strongly committed to the health and safety of our associates and strive to continuously adhere to global regulatory safety requirements and to reduce the incidence and severity of job-related injuries. We utilize strict compliance protocols, training programs, effective risk management practices, and sound science in our operations to minimize risk to our associates.
For a discussion of risks related to employee relations, please refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”
Research and Development
Research, development and engineering are of critical importance at Crane NXT to maintain our technological leadership in each segment. Activities support existing products, providing new features and enhancements, as well as the development of new products. For further discussion of our research and development activities, please refer to Part II, Item 8 under Note 1, “Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected by several factors including but not limited to those set forth below. This discussion should be considered in conjunction with the discussion under the caption “Forward-Looking Information” preceding Part I, the information set forth under Item 1, “Business” and with the discussion of the business included in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These risks comprise the material risks of which we are aware. If any of the events or developments described below or elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, or in any documents that we subsequently file publicly were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Macroeconomic fluctuations may harm our business, results of operations and stock price.
Our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows may be adversely affected by changes in global economic conditions and geopolitical risks, including credit market conditions, trade policies, levels of consumer and business confidence, commodity prices and availability, inflationary pressures, exchange rates, levels of government spending and deficits, political conditions, market instability, extraordinary public health issues such as large-scale health epidemics or pandemics and other challenges that could affect the global economy including impacts associated with any economic sanctions imposed on countries or regions in which we are doing business. Such conditions could have an adverse impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions and on our ability to fund our operations for growth or refinance maturing debt balances at economically favorable interest rates. In addition, such conditions could adversely affect the ability of our customers to obtain financing for significant purchases, result in decreases in or cancellation of orders for our products and services, and impact the ability of our customers to make payments. Similarly, such macroeconomic fluctuations may adversely affect our supplier base and increase the potential for one or more of our suppliers to experience financial distress or bankruptcy.
Demand for our products is variable and subject to factors beyond our control, which could result in unanticipated events significantly impacting our results of operations.
A substantial portion of our sales is concentrated in industries that are subject to market conditions which may cause customer demand for our products to be volatile. Global trends in the use of cash as well as increased durability of banknotes could impact demand. Reductions in demand by these industries would reduce the sales and profitability of our business. Our CPI segment could be affected by sustained weakness in certain geographic markets or certain end markets such as gaming, retail or banking, as well as low employment levels, office occupancy rates and factors affecting vending operator profitability such as higher fuel, food and equipment financing costs; results could also be impacted by unforeseen advances in payment processing technologies. In addition, our results in the SAT segment are subject to significant variability due to the timing and size of contract awards by central banks for banknote production and actual order rates, particularly with the U.S. government.
We conduct a substantial portion of our business outside the U.S. and face risks inherent in non-domestic operations.
Net sales by destination outside the U.S. were 48% of our consolidated amounts in 2024. We expect that non-U.S. sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. In addition, our operations outside the U.S. are subject to the risks associated with conducting business internationally, including, but not limited to:
•economic and political instability, including the risk of geopolitical conflict or territorial incursions, in the countries and regions in which we operate;
•the risks of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily the Japanese yen, the British pound, the euro, and the Swedish krona, could adversely affect our reported results, as amounts earned in other countries are translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes; and
•changes in the U.S. government's approach to trade policy, including in some cases renegotiating and terminating certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs (including in Mexico where our facility operates under the Mexican Maquiladora program, which provides for reduced tariffs and eased import regulations) or trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
11

Information systems and technology networks failures and breaches in data security, personally identifiable and other information, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such information, or a violation of our privacy and security policies with respect to such information, could adversely affect us.
We are dependent on information technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and, in the normal course of our business, we collect and retain certain types of personally identifiable and other information pertaining to our customers, stockholders and employees. The legal, regulatory and contractual environment surrounding information security and privacy is constantly evolving and companies that collect and retain such information are under increasing attack by cyber-criminals around the world. A theft, loss, fraudulent use or misuse of customer, vendor, employee or our proprietary data by cybercrime or otherwise, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such data or a violation of our privacy and security policies with respect to such data could adversely impact our reputation and could result in costs, fines, litigation or regulatory action against us. Security breaches can create system disruptions and shutdowns that could result in disruptions to our operations. We cannot be certain that advances in criminal capabilities, including the use of artificial intelligence, new vulnerabilities or other developments will not compromise or breach the security solutions protecting our information technology, networks and systems. A cyber-attack on our information systems technology or those of our partners, vendors, or suppliers could adversely affect our ability to process orders, maintain proper levels of inventory, collect accounts receivable and pay expenses, all of which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Failure to effectively prevent, detect and recover from security breaches, including attacks on information technology and infrastructure by hackers, viruses, breaches due to employee error or actions, or other disruptions, could seriously harm our operations as well as the operations of our customers and suppliers. Such serious harm can involve, among other things, misuse of our assets, business disruptions, loss of data, unauthorized access to trade secrets and confidential business information, unauthorized access to personal information, legal claims or proceedings, reporting errors, processing inefficiencies, negative media attention, reputational harm, loss of sales, remediation and increased insurance costs, and interference with regulatory compliance. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience some of these types of cybersecurity threats and incidents, which could be material in the future.
We may be unable to identify or to complete acquisitions, or to successfully integrate the businesses we acquire.
We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, a wide array of potential acquisition transactions. Our acquisition program attempts to address the potential risks inherent in assessing the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent or other liabilities, systems of internal control and potential profitability of acquisition candidates, as well as other challenges such as retaining the employees and integrating the operations of the businesses we acquire. Integrating acquired operations involves significant risks and uncertainties, including:
•Maintenance of uniform standards, controls, policies and procedures;
•Unplanned expenses associated with the integration efforts;
•Inability to achieve planned facility repositioning savings or related efficiencies from recent and ongoing investments; and
•Unidentified issues not discovered in the due diligence process, including legal contingencies.
There can be no assurance that suitable acquisition opportunities will be available in the future, that we will continue to acquire businesses or that any business acquired will be integrated successfully or prove profitable, which could adversely impact our growth rate. Our ability to achieve our growth goals depends in part upon our ability to identify and successfully acquire, finance and integrate companies and businesses at appropriate prices and realize anticipated cost savings.
12

Fluctuation in the prices of, or our ability to source, our components and raw materials, and delays in the distribution of our products could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our operations require significant amounts of necessary components and raw materials that are critical to our profitability and can fluctuate in price. Our costs are affected by price fluctuations of metals such as steel and copper as well as other raw materials such as electronic components, cotton and flax. We have seen a period of sustained price increases for certain raw materials and increased trade tariffs may result in increased costs for us. We deploy a continuous, company-wide process to secure an adequate supply of raw materials at prices which are favorable to us, to source our components and raw materials from fewer suppliers, and to obtain parts from suppliers in low-cost countries where possible. If we are unable to timely source these components or raw materials, whether resulting from more stringent regulatory requirements; supplier financial condition; disruptions in transportation; an outbreak of a severe public health pandemic; severe weather; or the occurrence or threat of wars, our operations may be disrupted, or we could experience a delay or temporary stoppage in certain of our manufacturing operations. If the prices of critical components and raw materials continue to increase or we are unable to pass increased costs of components and raw materials to customers, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Additionally, a disruption within our supply chain network could adversely affect our results of operations.
We compete with other industrial technology businesses for highly qualified employees in the countries in which we operate, and we may not be able to retain our personnel or hire and retain additional personnel needed for us to sustain and grow our business as planned.
Our business segments and corporate offices are dependent upon highly qualified personnel, and we generally are dependent upon the continued efforts of key management employees. Several factors may adversely affect the labor force available to us or increase labor costs, including high employment levels, federal unemployment subsidies, and other government regulations. We have recently observed an overall tightening and increasingly competitive labor market which has, and could continue to result in, higher compensation costs. While we believe we have a robust intellectual capital process, we may have difficulty retaining key personnel or locating and hiring additional qualified personnel. The loss of the services of any of such personnel or our failure to attract and retain other qualified and experienced personnel on acceptable terms could impair our ability to successfully sustain and grow our business, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
We may be unable to successfully develop and introduce new products, which would limit our ability to grow and maintain our competitive position and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
Our growth depends, in part, on continued sales of existing products, as well as the successful development and introduction of new products or technologies, which face the uncertainty of customer acceptance and reaction from competitors. Any delay in the development or launch of a new product could result in our not being the first to market, which could compromise our competitive position. The inability of new products to meet targeted performance measures, or the discovery of a successful counterfeit of our security technology products, could cause reputational harm and hurt future sales. Further, the development and introduction of new products may require us to make investments in specialized personnel and capital equipment, increase marketing efforts and reallocate resources away from other uses. We also may need to modify our systems and strategy considering new products that we develop. If we are unable to develop and introduce new products in a cost-effective manner or otherwise manage effectively the operations related to new products, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted.
Our businesses are subject to governmental regulation; failure to comply with those regulations, as well as changes in those regulations, could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reputation.
We are required to comply with various import and export control laws, which may affect our transactions with certain customers. In certain circumstances, export control and economic sanctions, and other trade-related regulations may prohibit the export of certain products, services and technologies, and in other circumstances we may be required to obtain an export license before exporting the controlled item. A failure to comply with these requirements might result in suspension of these contracts and suspension or debarment from government contracting or subcontracting. We are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits U.S. companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or securing any improper advantage. We are also subject to the anti-bribery laws of other jurisdictions. Failure to comply with any of these and similar regulations could result in civil and criminal liability, monetary and non-monetary penalties, fines, disruptions to our business, limitations on our ability to export products and services, and damage to our reputation.
13

Our business is directly and indirectly exposed to changes in government regulations; for example, changes in gaming regulations could influence the spending patterns of our casino operator customers, or changes in anti-money laundering regulations could result in additional technical requirements for our products. We are also subject to investigation and audit for compliance with the requirements governing government contracts, including requirements related to procurement integrity, manufacturing practices and quality procedures, export control, employment practices, the accuracy of records and the recording of costs and information security requirements. A failure to comply with these requirements could result in suspension of these contracts, and suspension or debarment from government contracting or subcontracting. Failure to comply with any of these regulations could result in civil and criminal liability, monetary and non-monetary penalties, fines, disruptions to our business, limitations on our ability to export products and services, and damage to our reputation.
Our business could be harmed if we are unable to protect our intellectual property.
We rely on a combination of trade secrets, patents, trademarks, copyrights and confidentiality procedures to protect our products and technology. Existing trade secret, patent, trademark and copyright laws offer only limited protection. Our patents could be invalidated or circumvented. In addition, others may develop substantially equivalent, or superseding proprietary technology, or competitors may offer equivalent non-infringing products in competition with our products, thereby substantially reducing the value of our proprietary rights. The laws of some foreign countries in which our products are or may be manufactured or sold may not protect our products or intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S. We cannot assure that the steps we take to protect our intellectual property will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology. We could incur significant and/or unexpected costs in our efforts to avoid, manage, defend and litigate intellectual property matters. Our inability to protect our intellectual property could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our operations expose us to the risk of litigation, claims and investigations, including those related to product liability and warranties, and employee, commercial, intellectual property and environmental matters, that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reputation. We may not have sufficient insurance coverage or indemnification rights to cover such claims.
•Defending these lawsuits and becoming involved in these investigations may divert our management’s attention and may cause us to incur significant expenses. In addition, we may be required to pay damage awards, penalties or settlements, or become subject to injunctions or other equitable remedies, that could cause reputational harm and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
•Our operations are subject to extensive environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, which impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the ground, air and water and establish standards for the generation, treatment, use, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes. We must also comply with various health and safety regulations in the U.S. and abroad. The costs of compliance with these regulations results in ongoing costs that may increase over time. Failure to comply with any of these laws could result in civil and criminal liability, substantial monetary and non-monetary penalties and damage to our reputation. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that our costs related to remedial efforts or alleged environmental damage associated with past or current waste disposal practices or other hazardous materials handling practices will not exceed our estimates or adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
•We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability or other claims in the event our products are alleged to be defective, or the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in harm to others or to property. We may in the future incur liability if product liability lawsuits against us are successful. In addition, consistent with industry practice, we provide warranties on many of our products, and we may experience costs of warranty or breach of contract claims if our products have defects in manufacture or design or they do not meet contractual specifications. We estimate our future warranty costs based on historical trends and product sales, but we may fail to accurately estimate those costs and thereby fail to establish adequate warranty reserves for them.
•While we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain liability claims, that insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims that may arise, or we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage in the future at an acceptable cost. Any liabilities not covered by insurance or that exceed our established reserves could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
14

We may be unable to improve productivity, reduce costs and align manufacturing capacity with customer demand.
We are committed to continuous productivity improvement, and we continue to evaluate opportunities to reduce costs, simplify or improve global processes, and increase the reliability of order fulfillment and satisfaction of customer needs. To operate more efficiently and control costs, from time to time we execute restructuring activities, which include workforce reductions and facility consolidations. For example, we recorded pre-tax restructuring charges in 2024 and 2023. While these are proactive actions to increase our productivity and operating effectiveness, our inability to adequately respond to potential declines in global demand for our products and services and properly align our cost base could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We face significant competition which may adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in the future.
While we are a principal competitor in most of our markets, all our markets are highly competitive. The competitors in many of our business segments can be expected in the future to improve technologies, reduce costs and develop and introduce new products. The ability of our business segments to achieve similar advances will be important to our competitive positions. Competitive pressures, including those discussed above, could cause one or more of our business segments to lose market share or could result in significant price erosion, either of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Additional tax expense or exposures could affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various international jurisdictions. Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could be affected by changes to any or all the following: tax laws, regulations, accounting principles and judicial rulings, the geographic mix of our earnings, the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the results of audits and examinations of previously filed tax returns.
Our future results of operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted by intangible asset impairment charges.
As of December 31, 2024, we had goodwill and other intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, of $1,375.9 million, which represented approximately 58% of our total assets. Our goodwill is subject to an impairment test on an annual basis and is also tested whenever events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Any excess goodwill resulting from the impairment test must be written off in the period of determination. Intangible assets (other than goodwill) are generally amortized over the useful life of such assets. In addition, from time to time, we may acquire or make an investment in a business that will require us to record goodwill based on the purchase price and the value of the acquired assets. We may subsequently experience unforeseen issues with such business that adversely affect the anticipated returns of the business or value of the intangible assets and trigger an evaluation of the recoverability of the recorded goodwill and intangible assets for such business. Future determinations of significant write-offs of goodwill or intangible assets as a result of an impairment test or any accelerated amortization of other intangible assets could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
If our internal controls are found to be ineffective, our financial results or our stock price may be adversely affected.
We believe that we have adequate internal control procedures in place for future periods, including processes related to newly acquired businesses; however, increased risk of internal control breakdowns generally exists in any business environment that is decentralized such as ours. In addition, if our internal control over financial reporting is found to be ineffective, investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which may adversely affect our stock price.
15

We are subject to risks related to the Separation that could negatively impact our results including not obtaining the intended tax treatment of the Separation transaction, failure of Crane Company to perform under the various transaction agreements and actual or potential conflicts of interest with Crane Company.
•In connection with the Separation, we received an Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) ruling (the “IRS Ruling”) on certain issues relevant to the qualification of the distribution under sections 368(a)(1)(D) and 355 of the Internal Revenue Code, based on certain facts and representations set forth in such request. The IRS Ruling does not address all of the requirements relevant to the qualification of the distribution for the intended tax treatment. It was a condition to the completion of the distribution that Crane Holdings, Co. receive a tax opinion regarding the tax treatment of the distribution (the “Tax Opinion”). The Tax Opinion relied on certain facts, assumptions, representations and undertakings from us and Crane Company, including those regarding the past and future conduct of the companies’ respective businesses and other matters. Notwithstanding the Tax Opinion, the IRS could determine that the distribution or any such related transaction is taxable if it determines that any of these facts, assumptions, representations or undertakings are not correct or have been violated, or that the distribution should be taxable for other reasons, including if the IRS were to disagree with the conclusions in the Tax Opinion. If the distribution or any of the above referenced related transactions is determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could incur significant U.S. federal income tax liabilities.
•We and Crane Company entered into certain agreements in connection with the separation transaction, including a separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement, a tax matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement and an employee matters agreement, which provide for certain obligations of each company for the benefit of the other for a period of time after the completion of the separation transaction. If Crane Company is unable, or otherwise fails, to satisfy its obligations under these agreements, including its indemnification obligations, we could incur operational difficulties or losses and experience an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
•Crane Company is not restricted from competing with us. If Crane Company in the future decides to engage in the type of business we conduct, it may have a competitive advantage over us, which may cause our business, financial condition and results of operations to be materially adversely affected.
•Because of their positions with us prior to the completion of the separation transaction, certain of our executive officers and directors have a financial interest in shares of Crane Company common stock. Continuing ownership of shares of Crane Company common stock and equity awards could create, or appear to create potential conflicts of interest if we and Crane Company pursue the same corporate opportunities or face decisions that could have different implications for Crane Company and us.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
Our enterprise risk management includes a comprehensive cybersecurity risk management program with policies, standards, processes and practices based on recognized industry standards and frameworks such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and the Center for Internet Security (CIS) critical security controls.
Our cybersecurity program includes regular training for personnel, an incident response protocol tested at least annually as part of our enterprise-wide crisis response program, cybersecurity insurance, and regular assessments through activities such as penetration testing, and compliance audits performed on our information technology networks and systems by both our internal cybersecurity teams and external service providers.
Although we have continued to invest in our due diligence, onboarding, and monitoring capabilities over external partners with whom we do business, including our third-party vendors and service providers, our control over the security posture of, and ability to monitor the cybersecurity practices of, such external partners remains limited, and there can be no assurance that we can prevent, mitigate, or remediate the risk of any compromise or failure in the cybersecurity infrastructure owned or controlled by such external partners. When we do become aware that an external partner has experienced such compromise or failure, we attempt to mitigate our risk, including by terminating such external partner’s connection to our information technology networks and systems where appropriate.
For more information on cybersecurity risks and how they affect our business, operating results and financial condition, refer to Item 1A, Risk Factors. As of the date of the filing of this Current Report on Form 10-K, we have not identified any risks from a cybersecurity threat or incident that we believe has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company.
Governance, Oversight and Leadership
Our Board of Directors has charged the Audit Committee with responsibility for monitoring the Company’s processes and procedures for enterprise risk identification, assessment and management, and cybersecurity represents an important component of our overall approach to enterprise risk management.
The Audit Committee receives regular reports at least twice annually from our Chief Information Security Officers (“CISO”) on a wide range of cybersecurity topics, including our cybersecurity program’s performance, results of assessments, emerging threats, capability enhancements, and recent developments and trends.
Our CISO, who reports to our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), leads our cybersecurity program and has more than 20 years of cybersecurity experience. The cybersecurity teams reporting to our CISO are staffed by highly skilled cybersecurity professionals, including both internal staff and external partners, with broad knowledge of cybersecurity issues from experience and through training and certifications. Our cybersecurity teams are responsible for detecting, mitigating, and responding to cybersecurity threats through a network of technologies, capabilities, and best practices on a 24/7 basis. Our CISO, in coordination with our cybersecurity teams, and members of our senior leadership team such as our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), CFO and General Counsel (“GC”), works collaboratively across the Company to operate a program designed to protect our business from cybersecurity threats and respond to any cybersecurity incidents in accordance with our incident response and recovery plans in real time.
We have established internal reporting processes designed to ensure that our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee receive information regarding any cybersecurity incident that meets established reporting thresholds, as well as ongoing updates regarding any such incident until it has been addressed. In the event of a cybersecurity incident, the materiality of the incident will be evaluated and determined with appropriate input from the CEO, CFO, GC, CISO and other key participants in our cybersecurity program, including external advisors to the extent appropriate.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes included under Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We are a leading provider of trusted technology solutions to secure, detect, and authenticate our customers’ most valuable assets. Our primary end markets include governments and a wide range of consumer-related end markets including convenience merchandising (vending), retail and gaming. Our operations are comprised of two segments, Crane Payment Innovations (“CPI”) and Security and Authentication Technologies (“SAT”):
•CPI provides electronic equipment and software leveraging extensive and proprietary core capabilities with various detection and sensing technologies for applications including verification and authentication of payment transactions. CPI also provides advanced automation solutions, processing systems, field service solutions, remote diagnostics and productivity software solutions.
•SAT provides advanced security solutions based on proprietary technology for securing physical products, including banknotes, consumer goods and industrial products. SAT also provides brand protection, authentication solutions, and digital content protection across online marketplaces, social media platforms, and websites.
We are committed to delivering shareholder value by focusing on our proprietary and differentiated technology and investing in core businesses to capitalize on opportunities to enhance organic growth. We maintain a strong balance sheet with financial flexibility, allowing us the ability to expand the business through strategic acquisitions into higher-growth adjacencies. We continuously evaluate our portfolio, pursue acquisitions that complement our existing businesses and are accretive to our growth profile, and selectively divest businesses where appropriate. We foster a performance-based culture with clearly defined values and utilize our well-established Crane Business System (CBS) to drive operational excellence and profitable growth.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this report may not add up precisely to totals we provide and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
Separation
On April 3, 2023, Holdings was separated (the “Separation”) into two independent, publicly-traded companies, Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company (“SpinCo”) through a pro-rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all the issued and outstanding common stock of SpinCo to the stockholders of Holdings. As part of the Separation, the Aerospace & Electronics, Process Flow Technologies and Engineered Materials businesses of Holdings were spun off to SpinCo. Also, as part of the Separation, Holdings retained the Payment and Merchandising Technologies business and was renamed “Crane NXT, Co.” on April 3, 2023. Following the consummation of the Separation, our common stock is listed under the symbol “CXT” on the New York Stock Exchange.
Due to SpinCo’s larger operations, greater tangible assets, greater fair value and greater net sales, in each case, relative to ours, among other factors, SpinCo was considered to be the “accounting spinnor” and therefore is the “accounting successor” to Holdings for accounting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Separation. As such, our financial statements for periods prior to the Separation are comprised of combined carve-out financial statements representing only our operations, assets, liabilities and equity on a stand-alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Holdings.
Separation Agreements
On April 3, 2023, we entered into definitive agreements with SpinCo in connection with the Separation. The agreements set forth the terms and conditions of the Separation and provide a framework for our relationship with SpinCo following the Separation, including the allocation between us and SpinCo of our and SpinCo’s assets, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation. These agreements include the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which contains certain key provisions related to the Separation, as well as a Transition Services Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement and an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the term of the Transition Services Agreement has expired.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Recent Transactions
Credit Facilities
We are party to a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) entered into on March 17, 2023, which provides for a $500 million, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), funding under which became available in connection with the Separation. On December 9, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement which increased the Revolving Facility by $200 million to an aggregate $700 million and provided a delayed draw term loan of 300 million British pounds to be used as part of the funding for the De La Rue Authentication Solutions acquisition discussed below.
On March 17, 2023, we also entered into a $350 million, 3-year term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), funding under which became available in connection with the Separation. On December 9, 2024, proceeds from the Revolving Facility were used to repay the outstanding Term Facility.
OpSec Acquisition
On May 3, 2024, we acquired OpSec Security (“OpSec”), for a base purchase price of $270 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. We utilized $210.0 million from our Revolving Facility and cash on hand to fund the acquisition. OpSec is a global leader in brand protection and authentication solutions, serving the world’s most recognized brands, as well as government agencies and financial insti tutions. In connection with the acquisition of OpSec, we renamed our “Crane Currency” reportable segment to “Security and Authentication Technologies,” which consists of the Crane Currency business and the acquired OpSec business. The integration of OpSec into our SAT segment is on track.
De La Rue Authentication Solutions Acquisition
On October 15, 2024, we signed a definitive agreement with De La Rue Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of De La Rue plc, to acquire its authentication business (“De La Rue Authentication Solutions”) for 300 million British pounds in cash, subject to customary adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Transaction costs incurred for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $6.5 million.
De La Rue Authentication Solutions is a leading global provider of digital and physical security and authentication technologies to governments and brands. De La Rue Authentication Solutions will be included within the Security and Authentication Technologies segment upon close.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
References to "core," such as "core sales," exclude currency effects and, where applicable, the first-year impacts of acquisitions and divestitures. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures that exclude these items provide investors with an alternative metric that can assist in identifying underlying growth trends in our business and facilitate comparison of our sales performance, for example, with prior and future periods that are complementary to GAAP metrics.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Items Affecting Comparability of Reported Results
The comparability of our results for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 is affected by the following significant items:
The Separation
Our financial statements for periods prior to the Separation are comprised of combined carve-out financial statements representing only our operations, assets, liabilities and equity on a stand-alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Holdings.
Transaction Related Expenses
We incurred transaction related expenses of $19.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, recorded in “Selling, general and administrative” in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. These transaction related expenses primarily consist of professional service fees incurred in connection with acquisitions and the Separation. There were no allocated transaction-related expenses in connection with the Separation for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Restructuring Charges
In response to challenging industry conditions in the CPI segment, we recorded restructuring charges of $10.1 million, $0.5 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
OVERALL
2024 compared with 2023
Sales increased by $95.5 million, or 6.9%, to $1,486.8 million in 2024. The change in sales included:
•sales benefit from the OpSec acquisition of $86.0 million, or 6.2%,
•core sales growth of $15.7 million, or 1.1%, driven primarily by the Currency business, and
•unfavorable foreign currency translation of $6.2 million, or 0.4%.
Cost of sales increased by $84.5 million, or 11.5%, to $821.7 million in 2024. The increase was driven primarily by the impact of the OpSec acquisition of $66.1 million, or 9.0%, and unfavorable mix, partially offset by productivity gains net of inflation and the impact of lower volumes in CPI.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $19.4 million, or 5.3%, to $386.2 million in 2024. The increase was driven primarily by the impact of the OpSec acquisition of $29.7 million, or 8.1%, partially offset by cost saving actions.
Operating profit decreased by $18.0 million, or 6.3%, to $268.8 million in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the CPI segment due to unfavorable mix, lower volumes and restructuring charges, partially offset by favorable pricing, lower material and other manufacturing costs, and cost saving actions. In the SAT segment, the decrease in operating profit was driven by the dilutive impact of the OpSec acquisition and higher material and other manufacturing costs, partially offset by favorable pricing in the Currency business. Both segments achieved productivity gains.

Effective tax rate |  | 18.7 | % |  | 21.5 | % |  | 17.5 | %

Our effective tax rate is affected by both recurring and discrete items, including the mix of jurisdictional earnings, acquisitions and dispositions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changing regulations, the continued availability of statutory tax credits and deductions, and examinations initiated by tax authorities around the world.
Our 2024 effective tax rate of 18.7% is lower than the prior year’s comparable period due to the mix in jurisdictional earnings and release of uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statute of limitations.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (“Pillar 2”) that has been agreed upon by over 140 member jurisdictions including the United States. Pillar 2 addresses the risks associated with profit shifting to entities in low tax jurisdictions. The impact of the adoption of Pillar 2 in 2024 was approximately $2.8 million.
See "Application of Critical Accounting Policies" included later in this Item 7 for additional information about our provision for income taxes. A reconciliation of the statutory U.S. federal tax rate to our effective tax rate is set forth in Item 8 under Note 10, "Income Taxes" in the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

(in millions) For the year ended December 31, |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Net cash provided by (used for): |  |  |  |  |  |
Operating activities |  | $ | 214.1 |  |  | $ | 276.3 |  |  | $ | 306.0 |
Investing activities |  | (318.0) |  |  | (31.1) |  |  | (21.3) |
Financing activities |  | 62.1 |  |  | (252.5) |  |  | (135.0) |
Effect of exchange rates on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |  | (12.0) |  |  | 3.8 |  |  | (20.2) |
(Decrease) increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash |  | $ | (53.8) |  |  | $ | (3.5) |  |  | $ | 129.5 |

Our operating philosophy is to deploy cash provided from operating activities, when appropriate, to provide value to stockholders by reinvesting in existing businesses, by making acquisitions that will strengthen and complement our portfolio; by divesting businesses that are no longer strategic or aligned with our portfolio and where such divestitures can generate capacity for strategic investments and initiatives that further optimize our portfolio; by paying dividends and repaying prepayable debt. At any given time, and from time to time, we may be evaluating one or more of these opportunities, although we cannot assure you if or when we will consummate any such transactions.
Our current cash balance, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations along with borrowings available under the Credit Agreement, is expected to be sufficient to finance our short- and long-term capital requirements. In addition, we believe our credit ratings afford us adequate access to public and private debt markets.
We had net proceeds of $210 million from the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we repaid in full the outstanding $105.0 million debt on the Term Facility. Please see Item 8 under Note 14, “Financing” in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for additional details.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $214.1 million in 2024, compared with $276.3 million in 2023. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by the timing of shipments which impacted working capital.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities primarily consists of cash used for capital expenditures and acquisitions. Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing capacity, replacing equipment, supporting new product development, and improving information systems. We expect capital expenditures of approximately $30 million in 2025.
Cash used for investing activities was $318.0 million in 2024, compared with $31.1 million in 2023. The increase in cash used for investing activities was primarily driven by the OpSec acquisition.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities consists primarily of d ividend payments to shareholders, repayments of indebtedness, and proceeds from our credit facilities.
Cash provided by financing activities was $62.1 million in 2024, compared with cash used for financing activities of $252.5 million in 2023. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by the redemption of senior notes in 2023. Higher net proceeds from the Revolving Facility were offset by higher net repayments on the Term Facility in 2024.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financing Arrangements
Total debt was $750.6 million and $644.9 million as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Our indebtedness as of December 31, 2024 was as follows:
•$210.0 million related to the Revolving Facility;
•$198.7 million of 6.55% notes due 2036; and
•$346.8 million of 4.20% notes due 2048.
See Item 8 under Note 14, “Financing,” in the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for details regarding our financing arrangements.
Credit Ratings
As of December 31, 2024, Crane NXT’s Corporate Rating was BB+ by S&P Global Ratings with a Stable Outlook and Ba1 with a Stable Outlook by Moody’s Investor Services. Our senior secured debt was rated BB+ by S&P Global Ratings with a Stable outlook and Baa3 with a Stable Outlook by Moody’s Investor Service. Our senior unsecured debt was rated BB- by S&P Global Ratings with a Stable outlook and Ba2 with a Stable outlook by Moody’s Investors Service. We believe that these ratings afford us adequate access to the public and private debt markets.
Contractual Obligations
Under various agreements, we are obligated to make future cash payments in fixed amounts. These include payments under our short-term and long-term debt agreements and rent payments required under operating lease agreements. The following table summarizes our fixed cash obligations as of December 31, 2024:

|  | Payment due by Period
(in millions) |  | Total |  | 2025 |  | 2026 -2027 |  | 2028 -2029 |  | 2030 and after
Debt (a) |  | $ | 550.0 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 550.0 |
Fixed interest payments |  | 508.4 |  |  | 27.8 |  |  | 55.6 |  |  | 55.6 |  |  | 369.4 |
Operating lease payments |  | 95.1 |  |  | 13.6 |  |  | 19.0 |  |  | 13.1 |  |  | 49.4 |
Purchase obligations |  | 39.9 |  |  | 38.0 |  |  | 1.9 |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Pension and postretirement benefits (b) |  | 45.6 |  |  | 4.8 |  |  | 8.5 |  |  | 9.0 |  |  | 23.3 |
Other long-term liabilities reflected on Consolidated Balance Sheets (c) |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Total |  | $ | 1,239.0 |  |  | $ | 84.2 |  |  | $ | 85.0 |  |  | $ | 77.7 |  |  | $ | 992.1 |

(a) Debt includes scheduled principal payments.
(b) Pension benefits are funded by the respective pension trusts. The postretirement benefit component of the obligation is approximately $1.0 million per year for which there is no trust and will be directly funded by us. Pension benefits are included through 2034.
(c) As the timing of future cash outflows is uncertain, the following long-term liabilities (and related balances) are excluded from the above table: gross unrecognized tax benefits of $8.1 million and related gross interest and penalties of $1.3 million.

Capital Structure
The following table sets forth our capitalization:

(in millions, except %) December 31, |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Short-term borrowings |  | $ | 210.0 |  |  | $ | 4.6 |
Long-term debt |  | 540.6 |  |  | 640.3 |
Total debt |  | $ | 750.6 |  |  | $ | 644.9 |
Equity |  | $ | 1,064.9 |  |  | $ | 964.0 |
Capitalization |  | $ | 1,815.5 |  |  | $ | 1,608.9 |
Debt to capitalization |  | 41.3 | % |  | 40.1 | %
Total debt |  | $ | 750.6 |  |  | $ | 644.9 |
Less cash and cash equivalents |  | 165.8 |  |  | 227.2 |
Net debt (a) |  | $ | 584.8 |  |  | $ | 417.7 |
Equity |  | $ | 1,064.9 |  |  | $ | 964.0 |
Net capitalization (a) |  | $ | 1,649.7 |  |  | $ | 1,381.7 |
Net debt to equity (a) |  | 54.9 | % |  | 43.3 | %
Net debt to net capitalization (a) |  | 35.4 | % |  | 30.2 | %

(a) | Net debt, a non-GAAP measure, represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt is comprised of components disclosed above which are presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net capitalization, a non-GAAP measure, represents Net Debt plus Equity. We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include the presentation of net debt and net capitalization, provide useful information about our ability to satisfy our debt obligation with currently available funds. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, planning and compensation decisions and in evaluating our performance. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed in the context of the definitions of the elements of such measures we provide and in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our reported results prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

In 2024, equity increased $100.9 million as a result of net income attributable to common shareholders of $184.1 million, and the impact of equity-based awards and related settlement activities of $7.4 million. These increases were partially offset by currency translation adjustment of $50.9 million, cash dividends of $36.6 million, and changes in pension and postretirement plan assets and benefit obligations, net of tax of $3.1 million.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain accounting policies require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. The accounting estimates described below are those that most frequently require us to make estimates and judgments and, therefore, are critical to understanding our results of operations. We have discussed the development and selection of these accounting estimates and the related disclosures with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Item 8 under Note 1, “Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition. We primarily generate revenue through the manufacture and sale of technology solutions including advanced detection and sensing systems, software to authenticate and manage transactions and micro-optics materials technology. Each product within a contract generally represents a separate performance obligation, as we do not provide a significant service of integrating or installing the products, the products do not customize each other, and the products can function independently of each other. Control of products generally transfers to the customer at a point in time, as the customer does not control the products as they are manufactured. We exercise judgment and consider the timing of right to payment, transfer of risk and rewards, transfer of title, transfer of physical possession, and customer acceptance when determining when control transfers to the customer. As a result, revenue from the sale of products is generally recognized at a point in time - either upon shipment or delivery - based on the specific shipping terms in the contract.
When products are customized or products are sold directly to the U.S. government, revenue is recognized over time because control is transferred continuously to customers, as the contract progresses. We exercise judgment to determine whether the products have an alternative use to us. When an alternative use does not exist for these products and we are entitled to payment for performance completed to date which includes a reasonable profit margin, revenue is recognized over time. When a contract with the U.S. government contains clauses indicating that the U.S. government owns any work-in-progress as the contracted product is being built, revenue is recognized over time. The measure of progress applied by us is the cost-to-cost method as this provides the most faithful depiction of the pattern of transfer of control. Under this method, we measure progress by comparing costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to provide the performance obligation. This method effectively reflects our progress toward completion, as this methodology includes any work-in-process amounts as part of the measure of progress. Costs incurred represent work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Total revenue recognized and cost estimates are updated monthly. In 2024, the Company recognized approximately $208 million in revenue over time related to products.
These estimates are subject to uncertainties and require judgment. Estimates of contract costs include labor hours and rates, and material costs. These estimates consider historical performance, the complexity of the work to be performed, the estimated time to complete the project, and other economic factors such as inflation and market rates. We update our estimates on a periodic basis and any revisions to such estimates are recorded in earnings in the period in which they are determined. Provisions for estimated losses, if any, on uncompleted long-term contracts, are made in the period in which such losses are determined. We do not believe that any discrete event or adjustment to an individual contract within the aggregate changes in contract estimates for 2024, 2023 or 2022 was material to the consolidated and combined statements of operations for such annual periods.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. These balances are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the year(s) in which these temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred income taxes is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted.
32

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Based on consideration of all available evidence regarding their utilization, we record net deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Where, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some amount of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance for the amount that, in our judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The evidence we consider in reaching such conclusions includes, but is not limited to; (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (2) future taxable income exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences, (3) taxable income in prior carryback year(s) if carryback is permitted under the tax law, (4) cumulative losses in recent years, (5) a history of tax losses or credit carryforwards expiring unused, (6) a carryback or carryforward period that is so brief it limits realization of tax benefits, and (7) a strong earnings history exclusive of the loss that created the carryforward and support showing that the loss is an aberration rather than a continuing condition.
We account for unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC 740, which prescribes a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based solely on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line of the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations, while accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As of December 31, 2024, we had $956.6 million of goodwill and $419.3 million of net intangible assets, of which $45.5 million were intangibles with indefinite useful lives included within intellectual property rights. As of December 31, 2023, we had $841.2 million of goodwill and $308.9 million of net intangible assets, of which $45.5 million were intangibles with indefinite useful lives included within intellectual property rights.
Our business acquisitions have typically resulted in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets. We follow the provisions under ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) as it relates to the accounting for goodwill in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. These provisions require that we, on at least an annual basis, evaluate the fair value of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned and attributed and compare that fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if an impairment has occurred. We perform our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter. Impairment testing takes place more often than annually if events or circumstances indicate a change in status that would indicate a potential impairment. We believe that there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below its carrying value. A reporting unit is an operating segment unless discrete financial information is prepared and reviewed by segment management for businesses one level below that operating segment (a “component”), in which case the component would be the reporting unit. As of December 31, 2024, we had three reporting units.
When performing our annual impairment assessment, we compare the fair value of each of our reporting units to our respective carrying value. Goodwill is potentially impaired when the net book value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair values are established primarily by discounting estimated future cash flows at an estimated cost of capital which varies for each reporting unit and which, as of our most recent annual impairment assessment, ranged between 10.5% and 12.0% (a weighted average of 10.6%), reflecting the respective inherent business risk of each of the reporting units tested. This methodology for valuing our reporting units (commonly referred to as the Income Method) has not changed since the adoption of the provisions under ASC 350. The determination of discounted cash flows is based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts, which change from year to year. The revenue growth rates included in the forecasts represent best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions. Profit margin assumptions are projected by each reporting unit based on the current cost structure and anticipated net cost increases/reductions.
There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions, including changes in market conditions, and management judgment is necessary in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. In addition to the foregoing, for each reporting unit, market multiples are used to corroborate discounted cash flow results where fair value is estimated based on earnings multiples determined by available public information of comparable businesses. No impairment charges have been required during 2024, 2023 or 2022.
33

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Furthermore, to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations on the goodwill impairment test, we applied a hypothetical, reasonably possible 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit. The effects of this hypothetical 10% decrease would still result in a fair value calculation significantly exceeding our carrying value for each of our reporting units, except for the recently acquired OpSec reporting unit which was less than 10%. OpSec’s goodwill represents 14% of the total goodwill of the Company. While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of all our reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may then be determined to be impaired and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings.
Intangibles with indefinite useful lives are tested annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the potential for impairment. If the carrying amount of an indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the intangible asset is written down to its fair value. Fair value is calculated using the relief from royalty method. We amortize the cost of definite-lived intangibles over their estimated useful lives.
We review all our definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Examples of events or changes in circumstances could include, but are not limited to, a prolonged economic downturn, current period operating or cash flow losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of an asset or asset group, or a current expectation that an asset or asset group will be sold or disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life. Recoverability is based upon projections of anticipated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the use and eventual disposal of the definite-lived intangible asset (or asset group), as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. Reviews occur at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of cash flows associated with other long-lived assets or asset groups and include estimated future revenues, gross profit margins, operating profit margins and capital expenditures which are based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts, which change from year to year. The revenue growth rates included in the forecasts represent our best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions, and the profit margin assumptions are based on the current cost structure and anticipated net cost increases or reductions. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions, including changes in market conditions, and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then the definite-lived intangible asset is considered impaired and a charge would be taken against net earnings based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. Judgments that we make which impact these assessments relate to the expected useful lives of definite lived assets and its ability to realize any undiscounted cash flows in excess of the carrying amounts of such assets and are affected primarily by changes in the expected use of the assets, changes in technology or development of alternative assets, changes in economic conditions, changes in operating performance and changes in expected future cash flows. Since judgment is involved in determining the recoverable amount of definite-lived intangible assets, there is risk that the carrying value of our definite-lived intangible assets may require adjustment in future periods. Historical results to date have generally approximated expected cash flows for the identifiable cash flow generating level. We believe there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our indefinite-lived or definite-lived intangible assets below their carrying value. As of the last annual assessment, fair values have been substantially in excess of carrying values.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We manage our exposures to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of interest-rate swap agreements and forward exchange contracts. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Total debt outstanding was $750.6 million as of December 31, 2024, which was at fixed rates of interest ranging from 4.20% to 6.55% and variable rates of interest of:
(a) an adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for the applicable interest period plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25%, or
(b) a base rate plus a m argin ranging from 0.50% to 1.25%, in each case, with such margin determined based on the lower of the ratings of our senior, unsecured long-term debt (the “Ratings”) and our total net leverage ratio.
We are required to pay a fee on undrawn commitments under the Revolving Facility at a rate per annum that ranges from 0.20% to 0.35%, based on the lower of the Ratings and our total net leverage ratio.
The following is an analysis of the potential changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates based upon sensitivity analysis that models effects of shifts in rates. These are not forecasts.
•72% of our year-end portfolio is comprised of fixed-rate debt; therefore, the effect of a market change in interest rates would not be significant. As of December 31, 2024, a hypothetical 1% increase in prevailing interest rates would increase our 2024 interest expense by approximately $2.1 million.
•Based on a sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2024, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the year ended December 31, 2024 would have impacted our net earnings by approximately $10.3 million, due primarily to the euro, Japanese yen, and British pound. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion relative to the U.S. dollar and there are no indirect effects, such as changes in non-U.S. dollar sales volumes or prices.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements of Crane NXT, Co. and subsidiaries have been prepared by management in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, in the judgment of management, present fairly and consistently the Company’s financial position and results of operations and cash flows. These statements by necessity include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments and give due consideration to materiality.
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making its assessment, management has utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in its Internal Control—Integrated Framework, released in 2013. Based on our assessment we believe that, as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
The Company completed the acquisition of OpSec Security (“OpSec”) on May 3, 2024. The Company has not yet fully incorporated OpSec’s internal controls and procedures into the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and will be completed within the time provided by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for a recently acquired business. As such, management excluded OpSec from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. OpSec constituted approximately 3% of the Company’s total assets, excluding the preliminary value of goodwill and purchased intangible assets, and approximately 6% of the Company’s total net sales as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that also audited the Company’s consolidated and combined financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, audited the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, and issued their related attestation report which is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Crane NXT, Co.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crane NXT, Co. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the related consolidated and combined statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 20, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As described in Note 1 and Note 2 to the financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone basis and prior to April 3, 2023 are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Crane Holdings, Co. (“Holdings”). Prior to April 3, 2023, the financial statements include expense allocations for certain corporate functions and services historically provided by Holdings. These allocated costs could differ from the actual expense that would have been incurred had the Company operated as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented.
Critical Audit Matter

Revenue Recognition – Over Time Basis — Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company recognizes revenue as they fulfill their performance obligations and transfer control of products to their customers. The Company has certain revenue contracts with the U.S. government. The clauses of those contracts stipulate that any amounts included in work-in-progress are the property of the U.S. government as they own any work-in progress as the contracted product is being built. The Company uses the cost-to-cost method of determining their progress, measuring progress by comparing costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to provide the performance obligation. In 2024, the Company recognized approximately $208 million in revenue over time related to products.
We identified revenue recognized over time as a critical audit matter because of the judgments necessary for management to determine the estimated margin used to recognize over time revenue. This required a high degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures to audit management’s estimated margin at completion and evaluating the results of those procedures.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures performed related to the recognition of revenue recognized over time included the following, among others:
•We tested the effectiveness of controls related to the revenue recognized over time, including management’s controls over costs incurred to date and estimates of margin at completion, as well as the accurate classification of contracts in the system during the order entry process.
•We selected a sample of revenue transactions that were recognized over time and performed the following:
•Evaluated whether the contracts were properly included in management’s calculation of over time revenue based on the terms and conditions of each contract, including whether continuous transfer of control to the customer occurred as progress was made toward fulfilling the performance obligation.
•Evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of the methods of calculation and assumptions used by management to develop the margin at completion applied to determine the revenue recognized.
•We tested the mathematical accuracy and completeness of management’s calculation of revenue recognized.
•We observed the Company’s physical inventory counts to test the existence of inventory related to the U.S. government.
•We evaluated management’s ability to estimate future costs and margins at completion accurately by comparing actual costs and margins at completion for similar contracts that were previously completed to management’s historical estimates for such contracts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 – Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Crane NXT, Co. is a leading provider of trusted technology solutions to secure, detect, and authenticate our customers’ most valuable assets. We are comprised of two reporting segments: Crane Payment Innovations (“CPI”) and Security and Authentication Technologies (“SAT”). Our primary end markets include governments, brands, financial insti tutions and a wide range of consumer related end markets including convenience merchandising (vending), retail and gaming. See Note 4, “Segment Results” for the relative size of these segments in relation to the total company (both net sales and total assets).
References herein to “Crane NXT,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Crane NXT, Co. and its subsidiaries, including when Crane NXT, Co. was named “Crane Holdings, Co.” unless the context implies otherwise. References to the “Business” refer to our business, including prior to the Separation (as defined below) when it was a business of Crane Holdings, Co. References herein to “Holdings” refer to Crane Holdings, Co. and its subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Separation unless the context implies otherwise.
Separation
On April 3, 2023, Holdings was separated (the “Separation”) into two independent, publicly-traded companies, Crane NXT, Co. and Crane Company (“SpinCo”), through a pro-rata distribution (the “Distribution”) of all the issued and outstanding common stock of SpinCo to the stockholders of Holdings. As part of the Separation, the Aerospace & Electronics, Process Flow Technologies and Engineered Materials businesses of Holdings were spun off to SpinCo. Also, as part of the Separation, Holdings retained the Payment and Merchandising Technologies business and was renamed “Crane NXT, Co.” on April 3, 2023. Following the consummation of the Separation, our common stock is listed under the symbol “CXT” on the New York Stock Exchange.
Due to SpinCo’s larger operations, greater tangible assets, greater fair value and greater net sales, in each case, relative to ours, among other factors, SpinCo was considered to be the “accounting spinnor” and therefore is the “accounting successor” to Holdings for accounting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Separation. As such, our financial statements for periods prior to the Separation are comprised of combined carve-out financial statements representing only our operations, assets, liabilities and equity on a stand-alone basis derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Holdings.
The primary source of the cash on hand as of the date of Separation was due to a transfer from Holdings to us as part of the Separation.
Separation Agreements
On April 3, 2023, we entered into definitive agreements with SpinCo in connection with the Separation. The agreements set forth the terms and conditions of the Separation and provide a framework for our relationship with SpinCo following the Separation, including the allocation between us and SpinCo of our and SpinCo’s assets, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation. These agreements include the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which contains certain key provisions related to the Separation, as well as a Transition Services Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement and an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the term of the Transition Services Agreement has expired.
Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Principles. Our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and, therefore, reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the years presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements include the accounts of Crane NXT, Co. and our subsidiaries.
Basis of presentation. The Business' financial statements for periods prior to the Separation are prepared on a "carve-out" basis, as described below. Prior to the Separation, the Business operated as Holdings’ Payment & Merchandising Technologies (“P&MT”) segment; consequently, stand-alone financial statements for periods prior to the Separation were not prepared for the Business.
44

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of Operations include all revenues and costs directly attributable to the Business, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by the Business. Prior to the Separation, costs for certain functions and services performed by centralized Holdings organizations were directly charged to the Business based on specific identification when possible or reasonable allocation methods such as net sales, headcount, usage or other allocation methods. The results of operations include allocations of costs for administrative functions and services performed on behalf of the Business by centralized groups within Holdings (see Note 2, “Related Parties” for a description of the allocation methodologies). All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by Holdings have been deemed settled in cash by the Business to Holdings in the period in which the cost was recorded in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. As more fully described in Note 10, “Income Taxes”, current and deferred income taxes have been determined based on the stand-alone results of the Business. However, because the Business filed group tax returns as part of Holdings in certain jurisdictions, the Business’ actual tax balances may differ from those reported. The Business’ portion of income taxes for certain jurisdictions is deemed to have been settled in the period the related tax expense was recorded.
Prior to the Separation, Holdings used a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. Accordingly, none of the cash of Holdings has been allocated to the Business in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. However, cash balances primarily associated with certain of our foreign entities that did not participate in Holdings’ cash management program have been included in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. Transactions between Holdings and the Business were deemed to have been settled immediately through “Crane Net Investment.” The net effect of the deemed settled transactions is reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows as “Net transfers to Crane” within financing activities.
All intercompany accounts and transactions within the Business were eliminated in the preparation of the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Business include assets and liabilities that have been determined to be specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Business.
All allocations and estimates in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, for the periods prior to the Separation, the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements included herein may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Business in the future, or if the Business had been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this report may not add up precisely to totals we provide, and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
Use of Estimates. Our accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimated. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which they are determined to be necessary. Estimates are used when accounting for such items as asset valuations, allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, impairment assessments, reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, reserve for warranty provision, restructuring provisions, employee benefits, taxes and contingencies.
Currency Translation. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries that prepare financial statements in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date; results of operations are translated at the monthly average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in a separate component of equity.
Revenue Recognition. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” we recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services in a contract transfers to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We account for a contract when both parties have approved and committed to the terms, each party’s rights and payment obligations under the contract are identifiable, the contract has commercial substance, and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration. When shipping and handling activities are performed after the customer obtains control of product, we elect to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the product. In determining the transaction price of a contract, we exercise judgment to determine the total transaction price when it includes estimates of variable consideration, such as rebates and milestone payments. We generally estimate variable consideration using the expected value method and consider all available information (historical, current, and forecasted) in estimating these amounts. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. We elect to exclude from the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by us from a customer.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We primarily generate revenue through the manufacture and sale of technology solutions including advanced detection and sensing systems, software to authenticate and manage transactions, micro-optics materials technology, and anti-counterfeiting technology including micro-optics and micro lithography. Each product within a contract generally represents a separate performance obligation, as we do not provide a significant service of integrating or installing the products, the products do not customize each other, and the products can function independently of each other. Control of products generally transfers to the customer at a point in time, as the customer does not control the products as they are manufactured. We exercise judgment and consider the timing of right to payment, transfer of risk and rewards, transfer of title, transfer of physical possession, and customer acceptance when determining when control transfers to the customer. As a result, revenue from the sale of products is generally recognized at a point in time - either upon shipment or delivery - based on the specific shipping terms in the contract. When products are customized or products are sold directly to the U.S. government, revenue is recognized over time because control is transferred continuously to customers, as the contract progresses. We exercise judgment to determine whether the products have an alternative use to us. When an alternative use does not exist for these products and we are entitled to payment for performance completed to date which includes a reasonable profit margin, revenue is recognized over time. When a contract with the U.S. government contains clauses indicating that the U.S. government owns any work-in-progress as the contracted product is being built, revenue is recognized over time. The measure of progress applied by us is the cost-to-cost method as this provides the most faithful depiction of the pattern of transfer of control. Under this method, we measure progress by comparing costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to provide the performance obligation. This method effectively reflects our progress toward completion, as this methodology includes any work-in-process amounts as part of the measure of progress. Costs incurred represent work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Total revenue recognized and cost estimates are updated monthly. In 2024, the Company recognized approximately $208 million in revenue over time related to products.
When there are multiple performance obligations in a single contract, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on their relative standalone selling prices. We maximize the use of observable data inputs and consider all information (including market conditions, segment-specific factors, and information about the customer or class of customer) that is reasonably available. The standalone selling price for our products and services is generally determined using an observable list price, which differs by class of customer.
Revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods (for example, due to changes in the transaction price or estimates), was not material in any period.
Payment for most products is due within a limited time period after shipment or delivery, typically within 30-90 calendar days of the respective invoice dates. Customers generally do not make large upfront payments. Any advanced payments received do not provide us with a significant benefit of financing, as the payments are meant to secure materials used to fulfill the contract, as opposed to providing us with a significant financing benefit.
When an unconditional right to consideration exists, we record these amounts as receivables. When amounts are dependent on factors other than the passage of time for payment from a customer to become due, we record a contract asset. Contract assets represent unbilled amounts that typically arise from contracts for customized products or contracts for products sold directly to the U.S. government. Contract assets are assessed for impairment and recorded at their net realizable value. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers. Revenue related to contract liabilities is recognized when control is transferred to the customer.
We pay sales commissions related to certain contracts, which qualify as incremental costs of obtaining a contract. However, the sales commissions generally relate to contracts for products or services satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time less than one year. As a result, we apply the practical expedient that allows an entity to recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less.
See Note 5, “Revenue” for further details.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes the costs of inventory sold and the related purchase and distribution costs. In addition to material, labor and direct overhead and inventoried cost, cost of sales includes allocations of other expenses that are part of the production process, such as inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, amortization of production related intangible assets and depreciation expense. We also include costs directly associated with products sold, such as warranty provisions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses are recognized as incurred, or as allocated based on methodologies further discussed in Note 2, “Related Parties.” Such expenses include the costs of promoting and selling products and include such items as compensation, advertising, sales commissions and travel. Also included are costs related to compensation for other operating activities such as executive office administrative and engineering functions, as well as general operating expenses such as office supplies, non-income taxes, insurance and office equipment rentals.
Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) which requires an asset and liability approach for the financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. These balances are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply in the year(s) in which these temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred income taxes is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted.
Based on consideration of all available evidence regarding their utilization, we record net deferred tax assets to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized. Where, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some amount of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, we establish a valuation allowance for the amount that, in management's judgment, is sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The evidence we consider in reaching such conclusions includes, but is not limited to, (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (2) future taxable income exclusive of reversing taxable temporary differences, (3) taxable income in prior carryback year(s) if carryback is permitted under the tax law, (4) cumulative losses in recent years, (5) a history of tax losses or credit carryforwards expiring unused, (6) a carryback or carryforward period that is so brief it limits realization of tax benefits, and (7) a strong earnings history exclusive of the loss that created the carryforward and support showing that the loss is an aberration rather than a continuing condition.
We account for unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC 740, which prescribes a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based solely on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes line of our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations, while accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line of our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Income taxes as presented herein, for periods prior to the Separation, attribute current and deferred income taxes of Holdings to the Business’ stand-alone financial statements in a manner that is systematic, rational and consistent with the asset and liability method prescribed by ASC 740. Accordingly, the Business’ income tax provision was prepared following the separate return method. The separate return method applies ASC 740 to the stand-alone financial statements of each member of the consolidated group as if the group members were separate taxpayers. As a result, actual transactions included in the consolidated financial statements of Holdings may not be included in the separate Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Business. Similarly, the tax treatment of certain items reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Business may not be reflected in the consolidated financial statements and tax returns of Holdings. Therefore, such items as net operating losses, credit carry forwards and valuation allowances may exist in the stand-alone financial statements that may or may not exist in Holdings’ consolidated financial statements. As such, the income taxes of the Business as presented in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the income taxes that the Business will generate in the future.
Obligations for income taxes in jurisdictions where the Business files a combined tax return with Holdings were deemed settled with Holdings and are reflected within “Net transfers to Crane” as a financing activity in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows.
Research and Development. We conduct research and development activities for the purpose of developing new products and enhancing existing products. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
See Note 6, “Research and Development” for further details.

Capitalized Software Development Costs. We sell and market software that is integral to the functionality we provide to customers. Internal and external costs incurred for developing this software are charged to research and development expense until technological feasibility has been established, at which point the development costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs primarily include payroll, benefits and other headcount related expenses. Once the services are available for general release to customers, no additional costs are capitalized. Capitalized software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, were $3.7 million and $0.0 million as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in “Intangible assets, net” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Stock-Based Compensation. We provide long-term incentive compensation through stock options, restricted share units, performance-based restricted share units and deferred stock units.
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes the fair value on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, or as performance goals are achieved.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options, with model assumptions including dividend yield, expected volatility, the risk-free interest rate and the expected life of the awards.
See Note 8, “Stock-Based Compensation Plans” for further details.
Earnings Per Share. Our basic earnings per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted share units, deferred stock units and performance-based restricted share units that were issued to Crane NXT and SpinCo employees and directors. The effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per common share by application of the treasury method. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the year.
On April 3, 2023, 56.7 million shares of our common stock, par value $1.00 per share, were distributed to Holdings stockholders of record as of March 23, 2023, as part of the Separation. This share amount is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Separation and such shares are treated as issued and outstanding for purposes of calculating historical earnings per share. For periods prior to the Separation, it is assumed that there are no dilutive equity instruments as there were no Crane NXT stock-based awards outstanding prior to the Separation. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, were based on the weighted average number of common shares after the Separation.

(in millions, except per share data) For the year ended December 31, |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Net income attributable to common shareholders |  | $ | 184.1 |  |  | $ | 188.3 |  |  | $ | 204.9 |

Diluted earnings per share |  | $ | 3.19 |  |  | $ | 3.28 |  |  | $ | 3.61 |

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock options when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock options. During 2024 and 2023, the number of stock options excluded from the computation was 0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Business Combinations. Acquisitions are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). Accordingly, we make an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon our understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. We obtain this information during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, as we obtain additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, we refine estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment to the purchase price allocation. We will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.
48

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To allocate the consideration transferred for our acquisitions, the fair values of all identifiable assets and liabilities must be established. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, fair value is defined under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure” as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results.
See Note 3, “Acquisitions” for further details.
Fair Value Measurements. Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are to be considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. The standards also establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include over-the-counter derivatives, principally forward foreign exchange contracts, whose value is determined using pricing models with inputs that are generally based on published foreign exchange rates and exchange traded prices, adjusted for other specific inputs that are primarily observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Valuation Technique
The carrying value of our financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value, without being discounted, due to the short periods during which these amounts are outstanding.
We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations, including market risks related to fluctuation in currency exchange. We use foreign exchange contracts to manage the risk of certain cross-currency business relationships to minimize the impact of currency exchange fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. We have foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments that are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates and interest rates. Based on these inputs, the derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
As a result of the Separation, all outstanding stock-based compensation awards of Holdings were exchanged for similarly valued stock-based compensation awards of either SpinCo, Crane NXT or both. The modification of the performance-based restricted share units resulted in a liability recorded upon Separation for awards that will be settled in SpinCo’s shares. The amount of the liability is measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs such as the quoted market price of the underlying company’s stock.
Long-term debt rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value for debt issues that are not quoted on an exchange. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is measured using Level 2 inputs.
As a result of the OpSec acquisition, we assumed a contingent liability related to a prior OpSec acquisition. The amount of the liability is measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs as the fair value is determined by estimating the net present value of the expected cash flows based on the probability of the achievement of the contingent revenue targets. See Note 3, “Acquisitions” for further details.
See Note 15, “Fair Value Measurements” for further details.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to cash and are not subject to significant risk from fluctuations in interest rates. As a result, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Prior to the Separation, the Business participated in Holdings’ centralized cash management and financing programs (see Note 2, “Related Parties” for additional information). The cash reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets represents cash on hand at certain foreign entities that did not participate in the centralized cash management program and are specifically identifiable to the Business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Restricted Cash. Cash that is legally restricted as to its withdrawal or usage is classified as restricted cash. In 2024, restricted cash primarily related to guarantees on future obligations. Current restricted cash, included within “Other current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $0.8 million and 0.0 million as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Non-current restricted cash, included within “Other assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $6.8 million and 0.0 million as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Accounts Receivable, Net. Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses was $7.7 million and $11.8 million as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The allowance for credit losses activity was not material to our financial results for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers, the nature of our customers, their credit worthiness, their relatively small account balances within our customer base and their dispersion across different businesses. We periodically evaluate the financial strength of our customers and believe that our credit risk exposure is limited.
Inventories, net. Inventories consist of the following:

(in millions) December 31, |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Finished goods |  | $ | 19.2 |  |  | $ | 35.6 |
Finished parts and subassemblies |  | 24.3 |  |  | 22.7 |
Work in process |  | 14.3 |  |  | 6.4 |
Raw materials |  | 87.0 |  |  | 92.4 |
Total inventories, net |  | $ | 144.8 |  |  | $ | 157.1 |

Inventories, net include the costs of material, labor and overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost for certain inventories in the U.S. is determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method and the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method is primarily used for all other inventories. If inventories that were valued using the LIFO method had been valued under the FIFO method, they would have been higher by $12.2 million and $9.5 million as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The liquidation of LIFO inventory did not have a significant impact on our financial results for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory was $31.5 million and $33.3 million as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory activity was not material to our financial results for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets. We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is based upon projections of anticipated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the use and eventual disposal of the long-lived asset (or asset group), as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. Reviews occur at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of cash flows associated with other long-lived assets or asset groups. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then the long-lived asset is considered impaired, and a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, there were no impairment charges identified.
Property, Plant and Equipment, net. Property, plant and equipment, net consists of the following:

(in millions) December 31, |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Land |  | $ | 33.6 |  |  | $ | 34.8 |
Buildings and improvements |  | 121.4 |  |  | 123.2 |
Machinery and equipment |  | 444.8 |  |  | 406.1 |
Gross property, plant and equipment |  | 599.8 |  |  | 564.1 |
Less: accumulated depreciation |  | 327.5 |  |  | 302.9 |
Property, plant and equipment, net |  | $ | 272.3 |  |  | $ | 261.2 |

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost and depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from 10 to 25 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for machinery and equipment. Depreciation expense was $37.7 million, $39.6 million and $42.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Our business acquisitions have typically resulted in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets. We follow the provisions under ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”) and assess the carrying value of goodwill annually during the fourth quarter. Impairment testing takes place more often than annually if events or circumstances indicate a change in status that would indicate a potential impairment.
We determine the fair value of each reporting unit for our goodwill impairment testing. A reporting unit is an operating segment unless discrete financial information is prepared and reviewed by segment management for businesses one level below that operating segment (a “component”), in which case the component would be the reporting unit. As of December 31, 2024, we had three reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a combination of the income approach, using discounted cash flows, and the market approach using comparable public company multiples. Assumptions are reviewed to ensure that the income approach and the market approach do not result in significantly different fair value calculations. Based on the results of our most recent annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2024, the reporting unit fair values were higher than their carrying values. No impairment charges have been required during 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Furthermore, to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations on the goodwill impairment test, we applied a hypothetical, reasonably possible 10% decrease to the fair values of each reporting unit. The effects of this hypothetical 10% decrease would still result in a fair value calculation significantly exceeding our carrying value for each of our reporting units, except for the recently acquired OpSec reporting unit which was less than 10%. OpSec’s goodwill represents 14% of the total goodwill of the Company. While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of all our reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may then be determined to be impaired and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings.
The determination of discounted cash flows is based on the businesses’ strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts, which change from year to year. The revenue growth rates included in the forecasts represent best estimates based on current and forecasted market conditions. Profit margin assumptions are projected by each reporting unit based on the current cost structure and anticipated net cost increases/reductions. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions, including changes in market conditions, and management judgment is necessary in applying them to the analysis of impairment. The estimated cost of capital used in the discounted cash flow analysis varies for each reporting unit and ranged between 10.5% and 12.0% (a weighted average of 10.6%), at our most recent annual goodwill impairment assessment.
Changes to goodwill are as follows:

Intangibles with indefinite useful lives, consist of trademarks and tradenames. If the carrying amount of an indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the intangible asset is written down to its fair value. Fair value is calculated using the relief from royalty method.
We amortize the cost of definite-lived intangibles over their estimated useful lives. In addition to an annual assessment for impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets, we review all our definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges have been required during 2024, 2023 and 2022.
As of December 31, 2024, we had $419.3 million of net intangible assets, of which $45.5 million were intangibles with indefinite useful lives included within intellectual property rights. As of December 31, 2023, we had $308.9 million of net intangible assets, of which $45.5 million were intangibles with indefinite useful lives included within intellectual property rights.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which intends to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements. The new standard includes new requirements to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within the reported segment's profit or loss, the amount and composition of any other segment items, the title and position of the CODM, and how the CODM uses the reported segment's profit or loss to assess performance and allocate resources. The standard is effective for all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard for the year ended December 31, 2024. See Note 4, “Segment Information” reflecting the Company’s adoption of this standard.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which intends to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures. The new standard requires public entities to provide greater disaggregation in their rate reconciliation, including new requirements to present reconciling items on a gross basis within specified categories, to disclose both percentages and dollar amounts, and to disaggregate individual reconciling items by jurisdiction and nature when the effect of the items meets a quantitative threshold. The guidance also includes new requirements to provide users of the financial statements with better information on future cash flow prospects. The standard is effective for all public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option, and early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses which intends to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). The standard requires disclosure of these expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on its Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Disclosures.
The Company considered the applicability and impact of other Accounting Standards Updates issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and determined them to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated and Combined Cash Flows.
Note 2 - Related Parties
Prior to the Separation, the Business was managed and operated in the normal course of business with other affiliates of Holdings. Accordingly, certain shared costs were allocated to the Business and are reflected as expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
Allocated Centralized Costs
The Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Holdings for the periods prior to the Separation.
Prior to the Separation, Holdings incurred corporate costs for services provided to the Business as well as other Holdings businesses. These services included treasury, tax, accounting, human resources, audit, legal, purchasing, information technology and other such services. The costs associated with these services generally included all payroll and benefit costs, as well as overhead costs related to the support functions. Holdings also allocated costs associated with corporate insurance coverage and medical, pension, post-retirement and other health plan costs for employees participating in Holdings sponsored plans. Allocations were based on several utilization measures including headcount, proportionate usage and relative net sales. All such amounts were deemed incurred and settled by the Business in the period in which the costs were recorded.
54

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The allocated centralized costs for the Business were $13.5 million and $31.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. These costs are included in “Selling, general and administrative” in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
In the opinion of our management, the expense and cost allocations have been determined on a basis considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or for the benefit received by the Business during periods prior to the Separation. The amounts that would have been or will be incurred on a stand-alone basis could differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, difference in management judgment, a requirement for more or fewer employees or other factors. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the Business operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. In addition, the future results of operations, financial position and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.
Separation Costs
In connection with the Separation, we have incurred expenses of $0.6 million and $20.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively, recorded in “Selling, general and administrative” in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Expenses primarily consisted of professional service fees. There were no allocated expenses in connection with the Separation for the years ended December 31, 2022.
Cash Management and Financing. Prior to the Separation, the Business participated in Holdings’ centralized cash management and daily cash sweeps. Disbursements were made through centralized accounts payable systems which were operated by Holdings. Cash receipts were transferred to centralized accounts, which were also maintained by Holdings. As cash was received and disbursed by Holdings, it was accounted for by the Business through “Crane Net Investment.” Historically, Holdings had centrally managed and swept cash for most domestic and certain European entities. However, certain legal entities did not participate in Holdings’ centralized cash management program for a variety of reasons.
As a result of the Separation, a one-time cash dividend of $275 million was issued on April 3, 2023, prior to the Separation, from SpinCo to Holdings, as well as a cash transfer of $84 million from Holdings to us. These contributions of net assets are recorded on the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Changes in Equity through “Crane Net Investment.”
Accounts Receivable and Payable. Certain related party transactions between the Business and Holdings have been included within “Crane Net Investment” in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Changes in Equity in the historical periods presented when the related party transactions were not settled in cash. We recorded related party interest expense related to the loan activity with Holdings and its affiliates of $2.5 million, $14.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively, which are included in the Business’ results as “Related party interest expense” in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. The total effect of the settlement of these related party transactions is reflected with “Net transfers to Crane” as a financing activity in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows.
Additionally, after the Separation, SpinCo and its subsidiaries were identified as related parties. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, we have net outstanding receivables with SpinCo and its subsidiaries of $0.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the transition services agreement and outstanding receivables of $0.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, related to indemnification under the tax matters agreement.
Note 3 – Acquisitions
OpSec Acquisition
On May 3, 2024, we acquired OpSec Security (“OpSec”), for a base purchase price of $270 million on a cash-free and debt-free basis, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The amount paid, net of cash acquired, was $269.8 million. We utilized $210.0 million from our Revolving Facility (as defined in Note 14, “Financing”) and cash on hand to fund the acquisition. In September 2024, we received $1.4 million related to the final working capital adjustment, resulting in net cash paid of $268.4 million.
OpSec provides authentication solutions, brand and digital content protection serving various commercial brands, government agencies and financial institutions. In connection with the acquisition of OpSec, we renamed our “Crane Currency” reportable segment to “Security and Authentication Technologies,” which consists of the Crane Currency business and the acquired OpSec business.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired
The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from our acquisition of OpSec, pending the finalization of certain tangible assets and liabilities to be completed within the measurement period as required by ASC 805. Potential adjustments are not expected to be material in relation to the preliminary values presented below:

Net assets acquired (in millions) |  |
Total current assets |  | $ | 33.6 |
Property, plant and equipment |  | 17.3 |
Other assets |  | 6.9 |
Intangible assets |  | 155.5 |
Goodwill |  | 133.7 |
Total assets acquired |  | $ | 347.0 |
Total current liabilities |  | $ | 37.4 |
Other liabilities |  | 41.2 |
Total assumed liabilities |  | $ | 78.6 |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 268.4 |

The amount allocated to other assumed liabilities includes a contingent liability of $1.5 million related to a prior OpSec acquisition. The amount payable is contingent upon achievement of specific revenue targets and is capped at $2.2 million. The contingency conditions expire at the end of 2026, at which point if the contingency conditions have not been met, no payment will occur. The contingent liability is measured at fair value. See Note 15, “Fair Value Measurements” for further details.
The amount allocated to goodwill reflects expected sales synergies, manufacturing efficiency and research and development. Goodwill from this acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.

Intangible Assets (dollars in millions) | Intangible Fair Value |  | Weighted Average Life
Intellectual property rights | $ | 1.5 |  |  | 5.0
Customer relationships | 115.5 |  |  | 19.3
Developed technology | 36.5 |  |  | 5.7
Backlog | 2.0 |  |  | 0.7
Total acquired intangible assets | $ | 155.5 |  |  |

The intellectual property rights intangible asset category consists of trade names. The fair values of the trade names were determined by using an “income approach,” specifically the relief-from-royalty approach, which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. This approach assumes that in lieu of ownership, a company would be willing to pay a royalty to exploit the related benefits of this asset. Therefore, a portion of OpSec’s earnings, equal to the after-tax royalty that would have been paid for the use of the asset, can be attributed to the Company’s ownership. The trade names are being amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the economic pattern of benefits) over the estimated economic life of 5 years.
The fair values of the developed technology intangible assets were also determined by the relief-from-royalty approach. Similarly, this approach assumes that in lieu of ownership, a company would be willing to pay a royalty to exploit the related benefits of the technology. Therefore, a portion of OpSec’s earnings, equal to the after-tax royalty that would have been paid for the use of the technology, can be attributed to the Company’s ownership of the technology. The technology assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the economic pattern of benefits) over the estimated economic life of 3 to 6 years.
56

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fair values of the customer relationships and backlog intangible assets were determined by using an “income approach,” which is a commonly accepted valuation approach. Under this approach, the net earnings attributable to the asset or liability being measured are isolated using the discounted projected net cash flows. These projected cash flows are isolated from the projected cash flows of the combined asset group over the remaining economic life of the intangible asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. The Company’s estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected pricing, operational performance including market participant synergies, aftermarket retention, product life cycles, material and labor pricing, and other relevant customer, contractual and market factors. Where appropriate, the net cash flows were adjusted to reflect the potential attrition of existing customers in the future, as existing customers are expected to decline over time. The attrition-adjusted future cash flows are then discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The customer relationship is being amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the economic pattern of benefits) over the estimated economic life of 16 to 20 years.
Supplemental Pro Forma Data
OpSec’s results of operations have been included in our financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on May 3, 2024.
During the period since acquisition, OpSec contributed net sales of $86.0 million, resulting in operating loss of $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined information assumes that the acquisition was completed on January 1, 2023. The unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined information is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of our actual consolidated and combined results of operations or consolidated financial position.

(in millions) For the year ended December 31, |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  |
Net sales |  | $ | 1,532.0 |  |  | $ | 1,507.7 |  |  |
Net income attributable to common shareholders |  | $ | 199.7 |  |  | $ | 161.1 |  |  |

Acquisition-Related Costs
For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded $17.9 million of acquisition-related costs within “Selling, general and administrative” in our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
Note 4 – Segment Information
In accordance with ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” for purposes of segment performance measurement, we do not allocate to the business segments items that are of a non-operating nature; or corporate organizational and functional expenses of a governance nature.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
In connection with the acquisition of OpSec, we renamed our “Crane Currency” reportable segment to “Security and Authentication Technologies,” which consists of the Crane Currency business and the acquired OpSec business. The CPI segment remains unchanged. This updated structure is consistent with how the Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates performance and allocates resources, and better aligns with our mission to secure, detect and authenticate our customers’ most valuable assets.
As of December 31, 2024, we had two reportable segments: Crane Payment Innovations and Security and Authentication Technologies. Assets of the reportable segments exclude general corporate assets, which principally consist of cash, deferred tax assets, certain property, plant and equipment, and certain other assets. Corporate consists of corporate office expenses including compensation and benefits for corporate employees, occupancy, depreciation, and other administrative costs.
A brief description of each of our segments as of December 31, 2024, is as follows:
Crane Payment Innovations
CPI provides electronic equipment and associated software leveraging extensive and proprietary core capabilities with various detection and sensing technologies for applications including verification and authentication of payment transactions. CPI also provides advanced automation solutions, and processing systems, field service solutions, and remote diagnostics and productivity software solutions. Key research and development and manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Japan, and Germany, with additional sales offices across the world.
57

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Security and Authentication Technologies
SAT provides advanced security solutions based on proprietary technology for securing physical products, including banknotes, consumer goods, and industrial products. SAT also provides brand protection, authentication solutions, and digital content protection across online marketplaces, social media platforms, and websites. These solutions serve various brands, as well as government agencies and financial insti tutions. Key research and development and manufacturing facilities are located in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden and Malta.
The chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CEO assesses the segments’ performance by using each segments’ net sales and operating profit. The CEO uses net sales and operating profit for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The chief operating decision maker considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis for net sales and operating profit when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. The CEO also uses segment net sales and operating profit for assessing the performance of each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another and with prior year’s performance, and in determining the compensation of certain employees directly responsible for segment performance.

Remaining Performance Obligations
The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represents the transaction price of firm orders which have not yet been fulfilled, which we also refer to as total backlog. As of December 31, 2024, backlog was $394.1 million. We expect to recognize approximately 90% of our remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2025 and 10% in 2026.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets represent unbilled amounts that typically arise from contracts for customized products or contracts for products sold directly to the U.S. government, where revenue recognized using the cost-to-cost method exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Contract assets are assessed for impairment and recorded at their net realizable value. Contract liabilities represent advance payments from customers. Revenue related to contract liabilities is recognized when control is transferred to the customer. We report contract assets, which are included within “Other current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and contract liabilities, which are included within “Accrued liabilities” and “Other liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, on a contract-by-contract net basis at the end of each reporting period. Net contract assets and contract liabilities were as follows:

Note 7 – Pension and Postretirement Benefits
Pension Plan
A number of our non-U.S. subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans that provide ongoing benefits for approximately 6% of all non-U.S. employees as of December 31, 2024. The benefits are typically based upon years of service and compensation. Most of these plans are funded by company contributions to pension funds, which are held for the sole benefit of plan participants and beneficiaries. Additionally, in the United States, we sponsor a defined benefit pension plan that covers less than 1% of U.S. employees as of December 31, 2024. The benefits are based on years of service and compensation. Charges to expense are based upon costs computed by an independent actuary. The plan is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Postretirement Plans
Postretirement health care benefits are provided for certain employees hired before July 1, 2013, who meet minimum age and service requirements.
A summary of the projected benefit obligations, fair value of plan assets and funded status for the plans is as follows:

In the U.S., 2024 actuarial gains in the projected benefit obligation were primarily the result of the loss of one of the participants who had the largest benefit and an increase in the discount rate. Other sources of gains or losses such as plan experience, updated census data and minor adjustments to actuarial assumptions generated combined losses of less than 1% of expected year end obligations. In the non-U.S. countries, 2024 actuarial gains in the projected benefit obligation were primarily the result of decreases in interest crediting rates and the mortality update for a United Kingdom entity, offset by the overall decrease in discount rates and increase in United Kingdom inflation. Other sources of gains or losses such as plan experience, updated census data, and minor adjustments to other actuarial assumptions generated combined losses well under 1% of expected year end obligations.

The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets assumptions were determined with input from independent investment consultants and plan actuaries, utilizing asset pricing models and considering historical returns. The discount rates used by us for valuing pension liabilities are based on a review of high-quality corporate bond yields with maturities approximating the remaining life of the projected benefit obligations.
For the non-U.S. plans, the 4.19% expected rate of return on assets assumption for 2024 reflected a weighted average of the long-term asset allocation targets for our various non-U.S. plans. As of December 31, 2024, the actual weighted average asset allocation for the non-U.S. plans was 9% equity securities, 33% fixed income securities, 58% alternative assets/other and 0% cash and cash equivalents.
The assumed health care cost trend rates are as follows:

December 31, |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year |  | 7.00 | % |  | 7.25 | %

Independent investment consultants are retained to assist in executing the plans’ investment strategies. Several factors are evaluated in determining if an investment strategy will be implemented in our pension trusts. These factors include, but are not limited to, investment style, investment risk, investment manager performance and costs. We periodically review investment managers and their performance in relation to our plans’ investment objectives.
The primary investment objective of our various plan assets is to ensure that there are sufficient assets to pay benefits when they are due while mitigating associated risk and minimizing employer contributions. The plans’ assets are typically invested in a broad range of equity securities, fixed income securities, insurance contracts, alternative assets and cash instruments.
Equity securities include investments in large, mid, and small-capitalization companies located in both developed countries and emerging markets around the world. Fixed income securities include government bonds of various countries, corporate bonds that are primarily investment-grade, and mortgage-backed securities. Alternative assets include investments in real estate, insurance contracts and hedge funds employing a wide variety of strategies.

Cash Flows
We expect, based on current actuarial calculations, to contribute cash of approximately $1.6 million to our defined benefit pension plans during 2025. Cash contributions in subsequent years will depend on several factors including the investment performance of plan assets for funded plans.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid:

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
We also have a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The SERP, which is not funded, is intended to provide retirement benefits for certain executive officers who were formerly employees of Security and Authentication Technologies prior to the acquisition of Crane Currency in 2018. Benefit amounts are based upon years of service and compensation of the participating employees. We recorded no pre-tax settlement gain or loss in 2024. We recorded minimal pre-tax settlement gain and loss in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Accrued SERP benefits, which were recorded in Accrued liabilities and Accrued pension and postretirement benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $1.3 million and $1.7 million as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Employer contributions made to the SERP were $0.1 million, $0.7 million and $1.0 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Defined Contribution Plans
We sponsor savings and investment plans that are available to our eligible employees including employees of our subsidiaries. We made contributions to the plans of $5.1 million, $4.5 million and $4.1 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
In addition to participant deferral contributions and company matching contributions on those deferrals, we provide a 3% non-matching contribution to eligible participants. We made non-matching contributions to these plans of $5.8 million, $5.5 million and $5.1 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 8 – Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Prior to the Separation, Crane NXT employees and directors participated in Holdings' equity incentive plans and received equity awards under those plans in the forms of stock options, restricted share units, performance-based and time-based restricted share units and deferred stock units in respect of Holdings common shares. Crane NXT Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements reflect compensation expense for these stock-based plans associated with the portion of the Holdings equity incentive plans in which Crane NXT employees and directors participated.
As a result of the Separation, all outstanding stock-based compensation awards of Holdings were exchanged for similarly valued stock-based compensation awards of either SpinCo, Crane NXT or both. The exchanged awards are subject to the same service vesting requirements as the original awards. Upon the exchange, there were 0.5 million options outstanding related to Crane NXT associates and 0.6 million options outstanding related to SpinCo associates.
The modification of the performance-based restricted share units resulted in a liability recorded upon Separation. The amount of the liability was $1.6 million and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
At December 31, 2024, we had stock-based compensation awards outstanding under the following shareholder-approved plans: the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"), 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") and 2018 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Amended & Restated Plan”), applicable to employees and non-employee directors.
The 2013 Plan was approved by the Board of Directors and stockholders at the annual meeting in 2013. The 2013 Plan originally authorized the issuance of up to 9,500,000 shares of stock pursuant to awards under the plan. In 2018, in view of the limited number of shares remaining available under the 2013 Plan, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the adoption of the 2018 Plan which authorized the issuance of up to 6,500,000 shares of Crane Holdings, Co. stock. In 2021, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved the adoption of the 2018 Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan which authorized the issuance of up to 4,710,000 shares of Crane Holdings, Co. stock. No further awards will be made under the 2013 Plan or 2018 Plan.
The stock incentive plans are used to provide long-term incentive compensation through stock options, restricted share units, performance-based restricted share units and deferred stock units.
Stock Options
Options are granted under the Stock Incentive Plan to officers and other key employees at an exercise price equal to the closing price on the date of grant. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee which administers the plan, options vest in four installments of 25% per year over four years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. All options granted to officers and employees after 2014 expire 10 years after the date of grant.
We determine the fair value of each grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions for grants during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

|  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Dividend yield |  | 1.10 | % |  | 1.57 | % |  | 2.05 | %
Volatility |  | 36.00 | % |  | 32.33 | % |  | 33.96 | %
Risk-free interest rate |  | 4.23 | % |  | 3.67 | % |  | 1.92 | %
Expected lives in years |  | 7.7 |  | 7.7 |  | 7.2

For 2024, expected dividend yield was based on our dividend rate. For 2023 and 2022, expected dividend yield was based on Holdings’ dividend rate. For 2024, expected stock volatility was based on a weighted blend of our available stock price history and the median historical volatility of members of a volatility peer group. For 2023 and 2022, expected stock volatility was determined based upon Holdings’ historical volatility for the four-year period preceding the date of grant. For 2024, 2023 and 2022, the risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve in effect at the time the options were granted, using U.S. constant maturities over the expected life of the option. For 2024, 2023 and 2022, the expected lives of the awards represented the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

(a) The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the estimated fair value of the common stock for in the money options at December 31, 2024.
Included in our stock-based compensation was expense recognized for our stock option awards of $1.4 million and $4.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, $1.9 million was allocated to the Company.
During 2024, the weighted-average fair value of options granted was $24.41, the total fair value of shares vested was $1.3 million, and the total intrinsic value of options exercised was $3.6 million.
The total cash received from these option exercises during 2024 and 2023 was $3.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and is reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows as “Proceeds from stock options exercised” within financing activities. The total cash received from option exercises during 2022 was $1.6 million and is reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows in “Net transfers to Crane” within financing activities. The tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from these option exercises was $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, there was $3.4 million of total future compensation cost related to unvested share-based awards to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.33 years.
Restricted Share Units and Performance-Based Restricted Share Units
Restricted share units vest in four installments of 25% per year over four years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date and are subject to forfeiture restrictions which lapse over time. The vesting of performance-based restricted share units is determined based on relative total shareholder return for Crane NXT, Co. compared to the S&P Midcap 400 Capital Goods Group over a three-year period, with payout potential ranging from 0% to 200% but capped at 100% if our three-year total shareholder return is negative. The fair value of performance-based restricted share units is calculated using a Monte Carlo pricing model on the date of grant.
Included in our stock-based compensation was expense recognized for our restricted share unit and performance-based restricted share unit awards of $9.2 million and $5.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2022, $7.4 million was allocated to the Company. The tax benefit for the vesting of the restricted share units was $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of December 31, 2024, there was $15.8 million of total future compensation cost related to restricted share unit and performance-based restricted share unit awards, to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.94 years.

Note 9 - Leases
Arrangements that explicitly or implicitly relate to property, plant and equipment are assessed at inception to determine if the arrangement is or contains a lease. Generally, we enter operating leases as the lessee and recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term.
We lease certain vehicles, equipment, manufacturing facilities, and non-manufacturing facilities. We have leases with both lease components and non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, utilities, or other repairs and maintenance. For all asset classes, we applied the practical expedient to account for each separate lease component and its associated non-lease component(s) as a single lease component.
We identify variable lease payments, such as maintenance payments based on actual activities performed or costs incurred, at lease commencement by assessing the nature of the payment provisions, including whether the payments are subject to a minimum.
Certain leases include options to renew for an additional term or company-controlled options to terminate. We generally determine it is not reasonably certain to assume the exercise of renewal options because there is no economic incentive to renew. As termination options often include penalties, we generally determine it is reasonably certain that termination options will not be exercised because there is an economic incentive not to terminate. Therefore, these options generally do not impact the lease term or the determination or classification of the right-of-use asset and lease liability.
We do not enter arrangements where restrictions or covenants are imposed by the lessor that, for example, relate to incurring additional financial obligations. Furthermore, we also have not entered any significant sublease arrangements.
We use our collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of future payments and the appropriate lease classification. The rate implicit in the lease is generally unknown, as we generally operate in the capacity of the lessee.
Our Consolidated Balance Sheets include the following related to leases:

Unrecognized Tax Benefits
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of our gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the amount of our unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was $8.6 million, $18.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The difference between these amounts and those reflected in the table above relates to (1) offsetting tax effects from other tax jurisdictions, and (2) interest expense, net of deferred taxes. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, we had gross unrecognized benefits, including interest and penalties of $9.4 million, and $19.3 million, respectively, included in “Other liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company has recorded a gross unrecognized tax benefit of $13.9 million due to the Separation from SpinCo which is included in the above table as “Other.” As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company had an indemnification receivable of $3.1 million, and $7.1 million, respectively, from SpinCo per the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement described below.
The Tax Matters Agreement specifies the rights, responsibilities, and obligations after the Separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits. The agreement specifies the portion, if any, of this tax liability for which we and SpinCo will bear responsibility, and we and SpinCo agreed to indemnify each other against any amounts for which they are not responsible.
We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of our income tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recognized interest and penalty income of $1.0 million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, we had accrued $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits could change by $3.7 million due to settlements of income tax examinations, the expiration of statutes of limitations or other resolution of uncertainties. However, if the ultimate resolution of income tax examinations results in amounts that differ from this estimate, we will record additional income tax expense or benefit in the period in which such matters are effectively settled.
Income Tax Examinations
Our income tax returns are subject to examination by the U.S. federal, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax authorities. With few exceptions, the years open to examinations are as follows:

Jurisdiction |  | Year
U.S. federal |  | 2021 - 2023
U.S. state and local |  | 2018 - 2023
Non-U.S. |  | 2017 - 2023

We regularly review the status of lawsuits, claims and proceedings that have been or may be asserted against us relating to the conduct of our business, including those pertaining to product liability, patent infringement, commercial, employment, employee benefits, environmental and stockholder matters. We record a provision for a liability for such matters when it is considered probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions, if any, are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. If either or both criteria are not met, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred for such matters, we disclose the estimate of the amount of loss or range of loss, disclose that the amount is immaterial, or disclose that an estimate of loss cannot be made, as applicable. We believe that as of December 31, 2024, there was no reasonable possibility that a material loss, or any additional material losses, may have been incurred for such matters, and that adequate provision has been made in our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the potential impact of all such matters.

Credit Faciliti es - We are party to a senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) entered into on March 17, 2023, which provides for a $500 million, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), funding under which became available in connection with the Separation. On December 9, 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement which increased the Revolving Facility by $200 million to an aggregate $700 million and provided a delayed draw term loan of 300 million British pounds to be used as part of the funding for the De La Rue Authentication Solutions acquisition. The delayed draw term loan is subject to customary closing conditions including the closing of the De La Rue Authentication Solutions acquisition.
On March 17, 2023, we also entered into a $350 million, 3-year term loan facility (the “Term Facility”), funding under which became available in connection with the Separation. On December 9, 2024, proceeds from the Revolving Facility were used to repay the outstanding Term Facility.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we drew down $448.5 million and repaid $238.5 million on the Revolving Facility, for total net proceeds of $210 million primarily to fund the OpSec acquisition.
The Revolving Facility allows us to borrow, repay and re-borrow funds from time to time prior to the maturity of the Revolving Facility without any penalty or premium, subject to customary borrowing conditions for facilities of this type and the reimbursement of breakage costs. Borrowings under the Term Facility were prepayable without premium or penalty, subject to customary reimbursement of breakage costs. Interest on loans advanced under the Credit Agreement accrues, at our option, at a rate per annum equal to (1) adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for the applicable interest period plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% or (2) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.50% to 1.25%, in each case, with such margin as determined by the lower of corporate family credit ratings issued by Moody’s and S&P (the “Ratings”) and our total net leverage ratio. We are required to pay a fee on undrawn commitments under the Revolving Facility at a rate per annum that ranges from 0.20% to 0.35%, based on the lower of the Ratings and our total net leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on our and our subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of all or substantially all assets, transactions with affiliates, investments, hedging arrangements and amendments to our organizational documents or to certain subordinated debt agreements. As of the last day of each fiscal quarter, our total net leverage ratio cannot exceed 3.50 to 1.00 (provided that, at our election, such maximum ratio may be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 for specified periods following our consummation of certain material acquisitions) and our minimum interest coverage ratio must be at least 3.00 to 1.00. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including failure to pay principal, interest or fees when due, failure to comply with covenants, any representation or warranty made by us or any of our material subsidiaries being false in any material respect, default under certain other material indebtedness, certain insolvency or receivership events affecting us and our material subsidiaries, certain ERISA events, material judgments and a change in control, in each case, subject to cure periods and thresholds where customary.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
OpSec Acquisition. The Company completed the acquisition of OpSec Security (“OpSec”) on May 3, 2024. The Company has not yet fully incorporated OpSec’s internal controls and procedures into the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and will be completed within the time provided by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for a recently acquired business. As such, management excluded OpSec from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. OpSec constituted approximately 3% of the Company’s total assets, excluding the preliminary value of goodwill and purchased intangible assets, and approximately 6% of the Company’s total net sales as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the year covered by this annual report. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and the information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls are effective as of the end of the year covered by this annual report.
Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with our evaluation thereof, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
Design and Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we included a report of our management’s assessment of the design and effectiveness of our internal controls as part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our independent registered public accounting firm also attested to, and reported on, our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report and our independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report are set forth in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the captions entitled “Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting” and “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Crane NXT, Co.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Crane NXT, Co. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated and combined financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, of the Company and our report dated February 20, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated and combined financial statements.
As described in the accompanying “Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting,” management excluded from its assessment the internal control over financial reporting at OpSec Security, which was acquired on May 3, 2024, and whose financial statements constitute approximately 3% of the Company’s total assets, excluding the preliminary value of goodwill and purchased intangible assets and approximately 6% of the Company’s total net sales as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal control over financial reporting at OpSec Security.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Management’s Responsibility for Financial Reporting.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
