On July 15, 2025, Hoover acquired Arconic Architectural Products, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arconic Corporation, which manufactures aluminum cladding products and operates within the broader non-residential materials space from its facility in Eastman, GA.

Management Changes

David Curtis and Justin DeWitte, co-CEOs of Graham Healthcare Group (GHG), recently made the decision to step down from their respective leadership roles at GHG. Both will remain with GHG for a transition period and to support the search and onboarding of a new leader for the home health and hospice businesses. The other healthcare businesses will transition to reporting into Graham Holdings leadership directly.

Debt, Cash and Marketable Equity Securities

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY
(Unaudited)

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) included in this press release, the Company has provided information regarding Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Net income excluding certain items described below, reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company鈥檚 GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

• the ability to make meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company鈥檚 ongoing results;
• the ability to identify trends in the Company鈥檚 underlying business; and
• a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company鈥檚 underlying business.

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Net income, excluding certain items, should not be considered substitutes or alternatives to computations calculated in accordance with and required by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

The gains and losses on marketable equity securities relate to the change in the fair value (quoted prices) of its portfolio of equity securities. The mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the ownership portion of a group of minority shareholders at a subsidiary of the Company's Healthcare business. The Company measures the redemption value of this minority ownership on a quarterly basis with changes in the fair value recorded as interest expense or income, which is included in net income for the period. The effect of gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest are not directly related to the core performance of the Company鈥檚 business operations since these items do not directly relate to the sale of the Company鈥檚 services or products. GAAP requires that the Company include the gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest in net income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company excludes the gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest from the non-GAAP adjusted net income because these items are independent of the Company鈥檚 core operations and not indicative of the performance of the Company鈥檚 business operations.

The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures for Net income, excluding certain items, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures:
