Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation
Nature of Operations: Chart Industries, Inc. is a global leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of process technologies and equipment for gas and liquid molecule handling for the Nexus of Clean™ - clean power, clean water, clean food, and clean industrials, regardless of molecule. The Company’s unique product and solution portfolio across stationary and rotating equipment is used in every phase of the liquid gas supply chain, including engineering, service and repair and from installation to preventive maintenance and digital monitoring. Chart is a leading provider of technology, equipment and services related to LNG, hydrogen, biogas and CO2 capture among other applications. Chart is committed to excellence in ESG issues both for its company as well as its customers. With 62 global manufacturing locations and over 50 service centers from the United States to Asia, Australia, India, Europe the Middle East, Africa and South America, we maintain accountability and transparency to our team members, suppliers, customers and communities.
Proposed Merger with Baker Hughes Company: On July 28, 2025, Chart Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chart”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Baker Hughes Company, a Delaware corporation (“Baker Hughes”), and Tango Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Baker Hughes (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement was unanimously approved by Chart’s board of directors (the “Chart Board”) after the Chart Board determined that the proposal received from Baker Hughes constituted a “Superior Chart Proposal” under the terms of its merger agreement with Flowserve. On October 6, 2025, Chart held a special meeting of its stockholders at which holders of Chart Common Stock approved the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. The completion of the Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions described therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into Chart (the “Merger”), with Chart continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Baker Hughes.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock of Chart, par value $0.01 per share (“Chart Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares held by Chart or its subsidiaries as treasury stock or otherwise, (ii) shares held by Baker Hughes or its subsidiaries, and (iii) shares as to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law) will be converted automatically into the right to receive $210.00 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest and subject to any applicable withholding tax.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each equity award of Chart granted under its equity plans or otherwise that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be treated as follows: (i) each outstanding option to purchase shares of Chart Common Stock, whether vested or unvested, that has an exercise price per share less than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the product of (x) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per-share exercise price of such option and (y) the number of shares subject to the option, and any stock option with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled for no consideration; (ii) each outstanding restricted share unit granted prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the number of shares of Chart Common Stock underlying such award; and (iii) each outstanding performance stock unit (“PSU”) will vest as to a pro-rata portion of the award based on the portion of the performance period elapsed prior to the Effective Time, with the level of performance deemed to be satisfied at the greater of (x) the target level of performance applicable to such PSU and (y) the actual level of performance achieved as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (as reasonably determined by the Chart Board or the compensation committee thereof), and the vested portion of each PSU will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a cash payment equal to the Merger Consideration for each vested share.
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of each of Chart and Baker Hughes, which, in the case of Chart, are qualified by the confidential disclosures provided to Baker Hughes in connection with the Merger Agreement, as well as matters included in Chart’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the date of the Merger Agreement. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides for customary pre-closing covenants of each of Chart and Baker Hughes, including to cooperate and use reasonable best efforts with respect to seeking regulatory approvals (subject to certain specified limitations), and, in the case of Chart: (i) to conduct its business in the ordinary course (subject to certain exceptions); (ii) to hold a meeting of its stockholders to obtain the requisite stockholder approval contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (iii) not to solicit proposals relating to any alternative business combination transactions; and (iv) subject to certain exceptions, not to enter into any discussion concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any such
alternative business combination transactions. In addition, with respect to the termination of the Flowserve Merger Agreement (as defined below) and the payment of the Flowserve Termination Payment (as defined below) to Flowserve (as defined below), Baker Hughes was required to pay $258 million of such Flowserve Termination Payment to Flowserve on Chart’s behalf (and Chart was required to pay the remaining $8 million portion thereof), which payments were made during the third quarter of 2025.
The completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including (i) the approval by holders of Chart Common Stock of a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement; (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of certain other clearances, approvals and consents under certain applicable foreign antitrust and regulatory laws; (iii) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the Merger; (iv) the representations and warranties of Chart and Baker Hughes being true and correct (subject to certain qualifications); (v) the performance in all material respects by the parties of their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement and (vi) the absence of any effect, change or event that has had a material adverse effect on Chart, subject to certain exceptions.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the parties, including in the event that (i) the parties agree in writing to terminate the Merger Agreement, (ii) if the Merger is not consummated by the initial outside date of July 28, 2026 (as it may be extended, the “Outside Date”), which date will be automatically extended for two successive six-month periods if the only remaining conditions to closing are the receipt of required regulatory approvals, (iii) any legal restraint having the effect of prohibiting the consummation of the Merger shall have become final and nonappealable or (iv) the other party has breached its representations, warranties or covenants in the Merger Agreement, subject to certain qualifications.
The Merger Agreement provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, including by Baker Hughes due to a material breach by Chart or by either Chart or Baker Hughes because the Merger is not consummated by the Outside Date, in each case at a time when there was an offer or proposal for an alternative transaction with Chart prior to such termination and Chart enters into or consummates an alternative transaction within twelve (12) months following such date of termination, Chart will be required to pay to Baker Hughes a termination fee equal to $250 million in cash.
In addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated under circumstances where such termination fee becomes payable by Chart, Chart will also be required to reimburse Baker Hughes for the portion of the Flowserve Termination Payment that Baker Hughes paid on Chart’s behalf in connection with the termination of the Flowserve Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances related to the failure to obtain required antitrust or foreign investment law approvals, Baker Hughes shall pay to Chart a reverse termination fee equal to $500 million in cash.
Termination of Merger Agreement with Flowserve Corporation: On June 3, 2025, Chart entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Flowserve Corporation, a New York corporation (“Flowserve”), Big Sur Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Flowserve, and Napa Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Flowserve (the “Flowserve Merger Agreement”).
On July 28, 2025, prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, Chart, Flowserve, Big Sur Merger Sub, Inc., and Napa Merger Sub LLC entered into a Termination Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the Flowserve Merger Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, a termination payment of $266 million (the “Flowserve Termination Payment”) was paid in cash to Flowserve (of which, as noted above, $258 million was paid by Baker Hughes on Chart’s behalf and $8 million was paid by Chart). The Flowserve Termination Payment consists of the $250 million termination fee that is required to be paid to Flowserve under the Flowserve Merger Agreement plus an additional agreed upon amount of $16 million to reimburse Flowserve for certain expenses.
In accordance with the Termination Agreement, Chart had an obligation to pay Flowserve $266 million. Of this amount, $258 million was paid by Baker Hughes on Chart’s behalf, and $8 million was paid directly by Chart as previously mentioned. As a result, we recorded $266 million to termination fee expense within our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2025. We recorded a corresponding liability of $258 million for termination fee paid by Baker Hughes Company within the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
In addition, the Termination Agreement provides for a mutual release of all claims related to or arising out of the Flowserve Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, as well as a letter of intent between Chart and Flowserve to amend an existing supply agreement between them (or their affiliates) to extend the term and to expand the coverage thereof to include certain additional products of Flowserve during such term.
Howden Acquisition: On March 17, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Howden from affiliates of KPS Capital Partners (the “Howden Acquisition”). The acquisition purchase price was $4.4 billion, which we financed with proceeds from borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility and term loans due March 2030, common and preferred stock issuances and a private offering of secured notes and unsecured notes. Howden is a leading global provider of mission critical air and gas handling products providing service and support to customers around the world in highly diversified end markets and geographies. The combination of Chart and Howden is complementary and furthers our global leadership position in highly engineered process technologies and products serving the Nexus of Clean™.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Chart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions based on a number of factors including the current macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and supply chain disruptions.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash Equivalents: We consider all investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are included within other current assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For further information regarding restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents balances, refer to Note 9, “Debt and Credit Arrangements.”
Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances: Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable. In addition, we estimate expected credit losses based on historical loss information then adjust the estimates based on current, reasonable and supportable forecast economic conditions. Past-due trade receivable balances are written off when our internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful. As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. We do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. We determine inventory valuation reserves based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific problem in the valuation of a certain item, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the item to its net realizable value. We also recognize reserves based on the actual usage in recent history and projected usage in the near-term.
Unbilled Contract Revenue: Unbilled contract revenue represents contract assets resulting from revenue recognized over time in excess of the amount billed to the customer and the amount billed to the customer is not just subject to the passage of time. Billing requirements vary by contract but are generally structured around the completion of certain milestones. These contract assets are generally classified as current.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas major improvements that extend the useful life are capitalized. The cost of applicable assets is depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes.
Lessee Accounting: At lease inception, we determine if an arrangement is a lease and if it includes options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the options will be exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases. Operating leases are recognized as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and are included within property, plant and equipment, net, and lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other
long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are recognized as ROU assets and are included within other assets. They are then amortized over the lesser of the lease term or useful economic life of the underlying asset. Operating lease liabilities are included within other current liabilities and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease liabilities are included within other current liabilities and other liabilities. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Lessor Accounting: Similar to lessee accounting, at lease inception we determine if an arrangement is a lease. The net investment of our lease receivables is measured at the commencement date as the present value of the lease payments not yet received. Operating leases are reported at cost as equipment leased to others within property, plant and equipment, net in our consolidated balance sheets and depreciated based on their useful lives on a straight-line basis. Sales from sales-type and operating leases are presented net of sales tax and other related taxes. Interest income is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest method and is classified as interest expense, net in our consolidated statements of income. Lease payments from operating leases are recorded as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Long-lived Assets: We monitor our property, plant, equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis. Assets are grouped and tested at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available. If impairment indicators exist, we perform the required analysis and record impairment charges, if applicable. In conducting our analysis, we compare the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the net book value, the long-lived assets are considered not to be impaired. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is estimated from discounted future net cash flows (for assets held and used) or net realizable value (for assets held for sale). Changes in economic or operating conditions impacting these estimates and assumptions could result in the impairment of long-lived assets. We amortize intangible assets that have finite lives over their estimated useful lives.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets: Goodwill is recognized as the excess cost of an acquired entity over the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We do not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets, but review them for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an evaluation should be completed.
Goodwill is analyzed on a reporting unit basis. The reporting units are the same as our operating and reportable segments, which are as follows: Cryo Tank Solutions, Heat Transfer Systems, Specialty Products and Repair, Service & Leasing. We first evaluate qualitative factors, such as macroeconomic conditions and our overall financial performance to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. We then evaluate how significant each of the identified factors could be to the fair value or carrying amount of a reporting unit and weigh these factors in totality in forming a conclusion of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount (the “Step 0 Test”). If we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the first step of the goodwill impairment test is not necessary. Otherwise, we would proceed to the first step of the goodwill impairment test.
Alternatively, we may also bypass the Step 0 Test and proceed directly to the first step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the first step (“Step 1”), we estimate the fair value of the reporting units by considering income and market approaches to develop fair value estimates, which are weighted to arrive at a fair value estimate for each reporting unit. With respect to the income approach, a model has been developed to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. This fair value model incorporates estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows among reporting units, estimates of future growth rates and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows. With respect to the market approach, a guideline company method is employed whereby pricing multiples are derived from companies with similar assets or businesses to estimate fair value of each reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, then goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. However, if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment charge is based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., we would measure the charge based on the result from Step 1).
In order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated fair values of the reporting units, we also compare the sum of the reporting units’ fair values to the market capitalization and calculate an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units’ fair values over the market capitalization). We evaluate the control premium by comparing it to control premiums of recent comparable transactions. If the implied control premium is not reasonable in light of this assessment, we reevaluate the fair value estimates of the reporting units by adjusting the discount rates and other assumptions as necessary.
Changes to the assumptions and estimates used throughout the steps described above may result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the reporting units, which could result in a different assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and result in future impairment charges.
With respect to indefinite-lived intangible assets, we first evaluate relevant events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, in weighing all relevant events and circumstances in totality, we determine that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further action is necessary. Otherwise, we would determine the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets and perform a quantitative impairment assessment by comparing the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value to its carrying amount. We may bypass such a qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment. We estimate the fair value of the indefinite-lived assets using the income approach. This may include the relief from royalty method or use of a model similar to the one described above related to goodwill which estimates the future cash flows attributed to the indefinite-lived intangible asset and then discounting these cash flows back to a present value. Under the relief from royalty method, fair value is estimated by discounting the royalty savings, as well as any tax benefits related to ownership to a present value. The fair value from either approach is compared to the carrying value and an impairment is recorded if the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value.
Equity Method Investments: Investments, including certain of our joint ventures, where Chart has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not possess control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each investment includes considering key factors such as our ownership interest, our representation on the investee’s board of directors and participation in policy-making decisions. We recognize the equity method investee’s proportionate share of the earnings and losses and classify as equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net in our consolidated statements of income. We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings for the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its estimated fair value. Equity method investments are included within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
Investments in Equity Securities: We measure certain of our investments in equity securities where we have no significant influence and generally less than 20% ownership interest at fair value on a recurring basis according to the fair value hierarchy as defined below. We reassess measurement options for these investments on a quarterly basis. Mark-to-market fair value adjustments in these investments in equity securities are classified within other expense (income), net in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Investments in equity securities for which there is no readily determinable fair value are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Investments in equity securities are included within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
Customer Advances and Billings in Excess of Contract Revenue: Our contract liabilities consist of advance customer payments, billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue. Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. We classify advance customer payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized as current. We classify deferred revenue as current or non-current based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The current portion of deferred revenue is included in customer advances and billings in excess of contract revenue in our consolidated balance sheets. Long-term deferred revenue is included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Preferred Stock and Dividends: Preferred stock is evaluated to determine balance sheet classification, and all conversion and redemption features are evaluated for bifurcation treatment. Proceeds received net of issuance costs are recognized on the settlement date. Cash dividends become a liability once declared. Income available to common stockholders is computed by deducting from net income the dividends accumulated and earned during the period on cumulative preferred stock.
Financial Instruments: The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term bank debt approximate their carrying amount because of the short maturity of these instruments.
To minimize credit risk from trade receivables, we review the financial condition of potential customers in relation to established credit requirements before sales credit is extended and monitor the financial condition and payment history of customers to help ensure timely collections and to minimize losses. Additionally, for certain domestic and foreign customers, we require advance payments, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, and other such guarantees of payment. Certain customers also require us to issue letters of credit or performance bonds, particularly in instances where advance payments are involved, as a condition of placing the order.
Fair Value Measurements: We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
Derivative Financial Instruments: We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to enhance our ability to manage foreign currency risk that exists as part of ongoing business operations. Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. We do not enter into contracts for speculative purposes nor are we a party to any leveraged derivative instrument. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. We utilize foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to manage the volatility associated with foreign currency transactions in the normal course of business. Contracts typically have maturities of less than one year. Principal currencies include the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Chinese yuan, the Czech koruna, the Australian dollar, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Indian rupee, the Chilean peso, and South African rand. Our foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify as hedges as defined by accounting guidance. Foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value and recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as other long-term liabilities, other current liabilities, other assets or other current assets. Changes in their fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of income within other expense (income), net. Our foreign currency forward contracts are not exchange traded instruments and, accordingly, the valuation is performed using Level 2 inputs as defined above. Gains or losses on settled or expired contracts are recorded in the consolidated statements of income as foreign currency gains or losses.
We enter into a combination of cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange collars as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain international subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility caused by changes in exchange rates. Our cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange collars are measured at fair value and recorded on the consolidated balance sheets within other assets or other long-term liabilities. Changes in fair value are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive loss. See Note 9, “Debt and Credit Arrangements,” for further information regarding the cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange collars.
Our derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements or agreements between the Company and each counterparty for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of a default or termination of any one contract with that certain counterparty. It is our practice to recognize the gross amounts in the consolidated balance sheets.
Business Combinations: We account for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations.” We recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, is assigned to goodwill. As additional information becomes available, we may further revise the preliminary acquisition consideration allocation during the remainder of the measurement period, which shall not exceed twelve months from the closing of the acquisition.
Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets generally consist of customer relationships, unpatented technology, patents and trademarks and trade names and are amortized over their estimated useful lives which generally range from 2 to 15 years. Identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets generally consist of trademarks and trade names and are subject to impairment testing on at least an annual basis. We estimate the fair value of identifiable intangible assets under income approaches where the fair value models incorporate estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows, estimates of future growth rates, and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows. As such, acquisitions are classified as Level 3 fair value hierarchy measurements and disclosures.
We expense transaction related costs, including legal, consulting, accounting and other costs, in the periods in which the costs are incurred.
Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when (or as) we satisfy performance obligations by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. A contract with a customer exists when there is commitment and approval from both parties involved, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are defined, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. An asset is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control over that asset. In most contracts, the transaction price includes both fixed and variable consideration. The variable consideration contained within our contracts with customers includes discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties and other similar items. When the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is expected, at contract inception, to be one year or less, we do not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration and determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Variable consideration estimates are updated at each reporting date. When a contract includes multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations based upon the stand alone selling prices.
In certain contracts, we are engaged to engineer and build highly-customized products and systems. In these circumstances, we produce an asset with no alternative use and have a right to payment for performance completed to date. For these contracts, revenue is recognized as we satisfy the performance obligations computed using input methods such as costs incurred. Input methods recognize revenue on the basis of the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. The costs incurred input method measures progress toward the satisfaction of the performance obligation by multiplying the transaction price of the performance obligation by the percentage of incurred costs as of the balance sheet date to the total estimated costs at completion after giving effect to the most current estimates. Revisions to estimated cost to complete that result from inefficiencies in our performance that were not expected in the pricing of the contract are expensed in the period in which these inefficiencies become known. Contract modifications can change a contract’s scope, price, or both. Approved contract modifications are accounted for as either a separate contract or as part of the existing contract depending on the nature of the modification.
Where contracts do not meet the over time recognition requirements, the company recognizes revenue at a point in time. For these contracts, revenue is recognized when we satisfy our performance obligation to the customer. The specific point in time when control transfers depends on the contract with the customer, contract terms that provide for a present obligation to pay, physical possession, legal title, risk and rewards of ownership, acceptance of the asset, and bill-and-hold arrangements may impact the point in time when control transfers to the customer. We recognize revenue under bill-and-hold arrangements when control transfers and the reason for the arrangement is substantive, the product is separately identified as belonging to the customer, the product is ready for physical transfer and we do not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer.
Incremental contract costs are expensed when incurred when the amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less; otherwise, incremental contract costs are recognized as an asset and amortized over time as promised goods and services are transferred to a customer. When losses are expected to be incurred on a contract, we recognize the entire anticipated loss in the accounting period when the loss becomes evident. The loss is recognized when the current estimate of the consideration we expect to receive, modified to include unconstrained variable consideration instead of constrained variable consideration, is less than the current estimate of total costs for the contract.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by us from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Shipping and handling fee revenues and the related expenses are reported as fulfillment revenues and expenses for all customers. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. Amounts billed to customers for shipping are classified as sales, and the related costs are classified as cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income.
Cost of Sales: Manufacturing expenses associated with sales are included in cost of sales. Cost of sales includes all materials, direct and indirect labor, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving, inspection, internal transfers, and distribution and warehousing of inventory. In addition, shop supplies, facility maintenance costs, manufacturing engineering, project management, and depreciation expense for assets used in the manufacturing process are included in cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses: SG&A expenses include selling, marketing, customer service, product management and other administrative expenses not directly supporting the manufacturing process, as well as depreciation expense associated with non-manufacturing assets. In addition, SG&A expenses include corporate operating expenses for executive management, accounting, tax, treasury, corporate development, human resources, information technology, investor relations, legal, internal audit and risk management.
Amortization Expense: Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which vary depending on the type of intangible assets. In determining the estimated useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets, we consider the nature, competitive position, life cycle and historical and expected future operating cash flows of each acquired assets.
Research and Development Costs: We incurred research and development costs of $41.9, $38.3, and $23.3 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Such costs are expensed as incurred and included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency for the majority of our foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for asset and liability accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Certain of our foreign entities remeasure from local to functional currencies, which is then translated to the reporting currency of the Company. Remeasurement from local to functional currencies is included in cost of sales or other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are charged to other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of income as incurred.
Income Taxes: The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial reporting and the consolidated tax return in accordance with the liability method. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets when conditions indicate that it is more likely than not that the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the valuation allowance will be adjusted with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.
We utilize a two-step approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position and determine whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more likely than not of being realized upon settlement.
Interest and penalties related to income taxes are accounted for as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income.
We are subjected to a tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”), which we record as a period cost as incurred.
Share-based Compensation: We measure share-based compensation expense for share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock, restricted share units and performance units based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model and is recognized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period. The grant-date fair value calculation under the Black-Scholes pricing model requires the use of variables such as exercise term of the option, future volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted share units is based on Chart’s market price on the date of grant and is generally recognized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period. The fair value of performance units is based on Chart’s market price on the date of grant and pre-determined performance and market conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance measurement period based on the probability that the performance and market conditions will be achieved. We reassess the vesting probability of performance units each reporting period and adjust share-based compensation expense based on our probability assessment. Share-based compensation expense for all awards considers estimated forfeitures.
During the year, we may repurchase shares of common stock from equity plan participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting or payment of equity awards. All such repurchased shares are retired in the period in which the repurchases occur.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans: We sponsor multiple defined benefit pension plans. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. The change in the funded status of the plan is recognized in the year in which the change occurs through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Our funding policy is to contribute at least the minimum funding amounts required by law. Management has chosen policies according to accounting guidance that allow the use of a calculated value of plan assets, which generally reduces the volatility of expense (income) from changes in pension liability discount rates and the performance of the pension plans’ assets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this update enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This update enhances the rate reconciliation by requiring disclosure of specific categories and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The update also requires enhanced annual disclosures related to income taxes paid, income from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We have adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2025 and applied the amendments on a prospective basis.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Not Yet Adopted): In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, “Accounting for Government Grants”, which adds guidance to ASC 832 on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied either by a modified prospective approach, modified retrospective approach, or a full retrospective approach. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which refines the scope of the guidance on derivatives in ASC 815 and clarifies the guidance on share-based payments from a customer in ASC 606. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)”, which provides guidance to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance removes references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. Additionally, the guidance specifies that the property, plant and equipment disclosure requirements under ASC 360-10 apply to capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”, which introduces a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures, and do not expect a material impact.
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 is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our disclosures.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments and Geographic Information Segment and Geographic Information
We have four reportable segments which reflect the manner in which our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews results and allocates resources. Each segment is organized and managed based upon the nature of our markets and customers and consists of similar products and services. Each of our four reportable segments operate globally and are also our operating segments: Cryo Tank Solutions, Heat Transfer Systems, Specialty Products and Repair, Service & Leasing. Our Cryo Tank Solutions segment, which has principal operations in the United States, Europe and Asia, serves most geographic regions around the globe, supplying bulk, microbulk and mobile equipment used in the storage, distribution, vaporization, and application of industrial gases and certain hydrocarbons. Our Heat Transfer Systems segment, with principal operations in the
United States and Europe, also serves most geographic regions globally, supplying mission-critical engineered equipment and systems used in the recovery, separation, liquefaction, and purification of hydrocarbons, LNG and industrial gases that span gas-to-liquid applications. Our Specialty Products segment supplies products used in specialty end-market applications including engineered liquefaction, storage and compression equipment for hydrogen and helium, LNG for over-the-highway vehicles, biofuels, carbon capture, food and beverage, aerospace, nuclear, marine, mining, lasers and water treatment end markets. Our Repair, Service & Leasing segment provides installation, retrofitting and refurbishment, services and repairs, preventative and contractual maintenance, and digital solutions of Chart’s stationary (liquefaction, fueling stations, among other products) and rotating equipment (compression, fans, among other products) globally in addition to providing targeted equipment leasing solutions.
Corporate includes certain unallocated operating expenses for executive management, accounting, tax, treasury, corporate development, human resources, information technology (“IT”), investor relations, legal, internal audit, and risk management. Corporate support functions are not currently allocated to the segments.
As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 17, 2025, Jillian C. Evanko, our former President, Chief Executive Officer and a former member of our board of directors, resigned from her position effective as of January 6, 2026. During the periods presented, our CODM, who was our Chief Executive Officer and President, Ms. Evanko, evaluated each segment’s performance and allocated resources based on operating income as determined in our consolidated statements of income. The CODM used operating income for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considered budget-to-actual and current-to-prior period actual variances on a quarterly basis when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. Furthermore, the CODM used segment operating income for evaluating pricing strategy and assessing the performance of each segment by comparing the results of each segment with one another and in determining the compensation of certain employees.

No single customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales for any of the periods presented in the tables above.
Total Assets
Corporate assets mainly include cash and cash equivalents and long-term deferred income taxes as well as certain corporate-specific property, plant and equipment, net and certain investments. Our allocation methodology for property, plant and equipment, net of the reportable segments differs from our allocation method of depreciation expense of a reportable segment and therefore, depreciation expense does not entirely align with the related depreciable assets of the reportable segments. Additionally, since finite-lived intangible assets are excluded from total assets of reportable segments while amortization expense is allocated to each of our reportable segments, amortization expense by segment inherently does not align with the related amortizable intangible assets of the reportable segments.

Contract Balances
The following table represents changes in our contract assets and contract liabilities balances:

20252024
Contract assets
Unbilled contract revenue$986.4 $735.1 
Contract liabilities
Customer advances and billings in excess of contract revenue$324.4 $362.2 
Revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each year was $357.5 and $332.9, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025 from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in previous periods as a result of changes in the estimates of variable consideration related to long-term contracts, was not significant. The increase in contract assets as of December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 was driven by an increase in revenue recognized on an over time basis.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm signed purchase orders or other written contractual commitments from customers for which work has not been performed, or is partially completed, and excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders. As of December 31, 2025, the estimated revenue expected to be recognized
in the future related to remaining performance obligations was $5,886.2, which is equivalent to our backlog. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 44% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months with the remaining balance recognized over the next few years thereafter.

Co-Investment Agreement
We have a 25% interest in Hydrogen Technology & Energy Corporation (“HTEC”) which totaled $70.1 and $68.9 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our investment in HTEC is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. HTEC designs, builds, and operates hydrogen fuel supply solutions to support the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles.
On April 30, 2025, (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Co-Investment Agreement (the “Co-Investment Agreement”) with certain affiliates of MSD Partners, L.P., (collectively, “BDT&MSD”), in connection with BDT&MSD’s purchase (the “Share Purchase”) of all of the shares of common stock of HTEC, owned by (and from) ISQ HTEC HoldCo Limited, (“ISQ”),
pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement by and among BDT&MSD, ISQ, Chart and HTEC (the “SPA”). ISQ no longer owns any equity interests in HTEC.
Pursuant to the Co-Investment Agreement, Chart and BDT&MSD have agreed to, among other terms, the following:
In the following circumstances, BDT&MSD shall have the right to sell to Chart all (and not less than all) of the shares of HTEC common stock acquired by BDT&MSD from ISQ on the Effective Date and which are still held by BDT&MSD at such time (the “Put Option”):
i.the third anniversary of the Effective Date,
ii.the date Chart undergoes a change of control (subject to certain exceptions),
iii.the date upon which Chart, during the period from the Effective Date through the third anniversary of the Effective Date, has made certain distributions to its shareholders (including cash or other dividends, or via a spin-off transaction), in excess of $900.0,
iv.the date upon which our leverage ratio exceeds certain thresholds; and
v.the date of a bankruptcy or credit default event.
In the event that BDT&MSD exercises its Put Option, we shall pay to BDT&MSD an amount in cash equal to $323.0 or $51.20 per share (“Base Price”) in exchange for each relevant share of HTEC (the “BDT&MSD Put Option Consideration”); provided, however, that, upon the occurrence of the first triggering event that occurs on or after the third anniversary of the Effective Date (or if the first triggering event occurs prior thereto, but the closing of the Put Option has not been consummated prior to the third anniversary), the Base Price shall increase at the annualized rate of 11.25% until the closing of the Put Option.
Conversely, at any time after the third anniversary of the Effective Date, Chart shall have the right to purchase from BDT&MSD up to an aggregate of 85% of the shares of HTEC common stock acquired by BDT&MSD from ISQ on the Effective Date and which are still held by BDT&MSD at such time (the “Call Option”). In the event that Chart exercises the Call Option, Chart shall pay to BDT&MSD an amount in cash in exchange for such common stock such that BDT&MSD shall realize the greater of (i) an internal rate of return of 12.75% and (ii) a multiple on BDT&MSD’s invested capital of 1.80x, in each case with respect to each share of HTEC common stock which is subject to the Call Option.
The Co-Investment Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the consummation of an initial public offering by HTEC of its common stock.
In connection with the sale by ISQ of all of its equity interests in HTEC to BDT&MSD as further described above, the following agreements, each of which has been previously disclosed by us in our Annual Report on Form 10-K dated December 31, 2024, were terminated by all of the parties thereto as of the Effective Date: (i) that certain Co-Investment Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2021, by and between Chart and ISQ, and (ii) that certain Tri-Party Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2024, by and among Chart, HTEC, ISQ, Colin Armstrong and Cenco Innovations Ltd.
Accounting Treatment of Put and Call Options
We record the Put and Call Options (together “the Options”) at fair value and record any change in fair value through earnings at each reporting period. The fair value of the put option and call option under the Co-Investment Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2025 was not material as of December 31, 2025.
Hy24 (f/k/a FiveT Hydrogen Fund and Clean H2 Infra Fund)
On April 5, 2021, we were admitted as an anchor investor in Hy24 (the “Hydrogen Fund”). Hy24 is a joint venture between Ardian, a European investment house, and FiveT Hydrogen, an investment manager specialized purely on clean hydrogen investments. Our total investment is 16.2 million euro (equivalent to $19.1) making our unfunded commitment 33.8 million euro (equivalent to $39.7).

Senior Secured and Unsecured Notes
On December 22, 2022, we completed the issuance and sale of (i) $1,460.0 aggregate principal amount of 7.500% Secured Notes at an issue price of 98.661% and (ii) $510.0 aggregate principal amount of 9.500% Unsecured Notes (together with the Secured Notes, the “Notes”), at an issue price of 97.949%. The Secured Notes mature on January 1, 2030, and the Unsecured Notes mature on January 1, 2031. The effective interest rate on the Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes is 7.8% and
9.9%, respectively, after accounting for original issue discounts and debt issuance costs. The Notes were issued to finance the Howden Acquisition.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of Chart’s wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower or a guarantor under Chart’s fifth amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of October 18, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). The Secured Notes and the related guarantees are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
We may redeem either series of the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after January 1, 2026, at the redemption prices set forth in the respective indentures.
If Chart experiences a change of control (as defined in the respective indentures), the Notes are able to be redeemed by the holders at 101%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to (but not including) the date the Notes are purchased.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
Our fifth amended and restated credit agreement dated as of July 2, 2024, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”) provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “SSRCF”), which matures on April 6, 2029.
The SSRCF has a borrowing capacity of $1,250.0 and includes a sub limit for letters of credit that is the greater of (x) $350.0 and (y) $150.0 plus (1) the Dollar Amount (as of the Amended Closing Date) of the Assumed Letters of Credit plus (2) the Dollar Amount of any Letters of Credit issued on the Amendment Closing Date, a $200.0 sub limit for discretionary letters of credit and a $100.0 sub-limit for swingline loans.
We may, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, request one or more new commitments and/or increase in the amount of the SSRCF. Each incremental term commitment and incremental revolving commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10.0 and shall be in an increment of $1.0 to the extent existing or new lenders agree to provide such increased or additional commitments, as applicable.
The SSRCF bears interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin determined on a leveraged-based scale which (before giving effect to the sustainability pricing adjustments described below) ranges from 25 to 125 basis points for base rate loans and 125 to 225 basis points for Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) loans.
The applicable margin described above is subject to further adjustments based on the reductions in the ratio between (i) the total greenhouse gas emissions, measured in metric tons CO2e, of Chart and its subsidiaries during such calendar year and (ii) the aggregate revenue, measured in U.S. Dollars, of Chart and its subsidiaries during such calendar year. These additional pricing adjustments range from an addition of 0.05% to a reduction of 0.05% in the applicable margin described above.
We are required to pay commitment fees on any unused commitments under the SSRCF which, before giving effect to the sustainability fee adjustments (as described below), is determined on a leverage-based sliding scale ranging from 20 to 35 basis points.
The commitment fees described above are also subject to sustainability fee adjustments based on the aforementioned ratio. The sustainability fee adjustments range from an addition of 0.01% to a reduction of 0.01%.
Interest and fees are payable on a quarterly basis (or if earlier, at the end of each interest period for SOFR loans), and includes sub limits for letters of credit and swingline loans.
At December 31, 2025, there were $281.7 in borrowings outstanding under the SSRCF bearing an interest rate of 5.8% (7.0% as of December 31, 2024) and $259.1 in letters of credit and bank guarantees outstanding supported by the SSRCF. As of December 31, 2025, we had unused borrowing capacity of $709.2.
A portion of borrowings outstanding under the SSRCF are denominated in euros (“EUR Revolver Borrowings”). EUR Revolver Borrowings outstanding were euro 78.0 million (equivalent to $91.7) at December 31, 2025 and euro 78.0 million (equivalent to $81.0) at December 31, 2024.
Significant financial covenants for the SSRCF include financial maintenance covenants that, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter ending on and after September 30, 2021, (i) require the ratio of the amount of Chart and its subsidiaries’ consolidated total net indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to be less than the Maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio Levels and (ii) require the ratio of the amount of Chart and its subsidiaries’ consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense to
be greater than the Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio Levels. The SSRCF includes a number of other customary covenants including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens or other encumbrances, sell assets, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make certain payments, investments, loans, advances or guarantees, make acquisitions and engage in mergers or consolidations and pay dividends or distributions. At December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants.
The SSRCF also contains customary events of default. If such an event of default occurs, the lenders thereunder would be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. The SSRCF is guaranteed by Chart and substantially all of its U.S. subsidiaries, and secured by substantially all of the assets of Chart and its U.S. subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of our material non-U.S. subsidiaries (as defined by the Credit Agreement) that are owned by U.S. subsidiaries.
Term Loans
Chart has terms loans in the aggregate principal amount of $1,406.0 under the Credit Agreement, which mature March 18, 2030 (“term loans due March 2030”). As of December 31, 2025, the term loans due March 2030 bore an interest rate of 6.5% (7.1% as of December 31, 2024). The effective interest rate on the term loans due March 2030 is 9.1% after accounting for original issue discount and debt issuance costs. We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $8.2 and $7.8 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2023, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024 the loss on extinguishment of debt was immaterial.
Chart may elect the interest rate for the term loans due March 2030 equal to (i) the Applicable Margin (2.50%), or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate (a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal in the U.S. as the prime rate, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect plus 0.50%, (c) Adjusted Term SOFR for a one month Interest Period plus 1.00%, and (d) 1.50% plus the Applicable Margin (2.25%). Chart may elect interest periods of 1, 3, or 6 months. Interest shall be payable in arrears for (a) for loans accruing interest at a rate based on Adjusted Term SOFR, at the end of each interest period and, for interest periods of greater than three months, every three months, and on the applicable maturity date and (b) for loans accruing interest based on the Alternate Base Rate, quarterly in arrears and on the applicable maturity date.
The allowance of incremental facilities is substantially identical to those in the SSRCF, except (i) to permit the incurrence of a standalone letter of credit facility and (ii) that if the yield of any incremental facility that is in a U.S. dollar denominated term loan facility that is secured by liens on the collateral that is incurred within twelve months after the Closing Date, the applicable margins for the term loans due March 2030 may increase under certain circumstances. Additionally, the refinancing facilities are substantially identical to those set forth in the SSRCF.
Chart may prepay the term loans due March 2030 in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium, with the exception of a repricing event with respect to all or any portion of the term loans due 2030 that occurs on or before the date that is six months after the Closing Date.
The term loans due March 2030 will be equal in right of payment with any other senior indebtedness of Chart and, if needed, shall be subject to an equal intercreditor agreement with respect to the SSRCF.
The term loans due March 2030 are guaranteed by each wholly-owned domestic subsidiary that is also a guarantor under the SSRCF.
Significant financial covenants and customary events of default for the term loans due March 2030 is substantially identical to those in the SSRCF.
Other Debt Facilities
In various markets where we do business, we have local credit facilities to meet local working capital demands, fund letters of credit and bank guarantees, and support other short-term cash requirements. The facilities generally have variable interest rates and are denominated in local currency but may, in some cases, facilitate borrowings in multiple currencies. As of December 31, 2025 we had additional capacity of U.S. dollar equivalent $234.1.
Certain of our other debt facilities allow us to request bank guarantees and letters of credit. None of these facilities allow revolving credit borrowings. We have letters of credit and bank guarantees outside of our Credit Agreement that totaled U.S. dollar equivalent $218.6 and $173.8 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 13, 2022, we completed a preferred stock offering, through which Chart issued and sold 8.050 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/20th interest in a share of Chart’s 6.75% Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, liquidation preference $1,000 per share, par value $0.01 per share (the “Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock”). The amount issued included 1.050 million depositary shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the option granted to the underwriters to purchase additional depositary shares. We received gross proceeds of $402.5 from the issuance of shares less $14.4 of equity issuance costs. The proceeds were used to fund the acquisition of Howden.
Conversion. In December 2025, all outstanding shares of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock converted into 7.0520 shares of common stock per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (and, correspondingly, the conversion rate per depositary share was 0.3526 shares of common stock per depositary share). This resulted in the issuance of 2.84 shares of common stock. The conversion rate was determined based on a preceding 20-day volume-weighted-average-price of common stock. Because each depositary share represents a 1/20th fractional interest in a share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, a holder of depositary shares may have converted its depositary shares only in lots of 20 depositary shares. Any resulting fractional shares were settled in cash, which was immaterial.
Dividends. Dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock were payable on a cumulative basis when, as and if declared at an annual rate of 6.75% on the liquidation value of $1,000 per share. Chart was able to pay declared dividends in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of common stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of common stock on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2023 and ending on, and including, December 15, 2025. We declared and paid $27.2, $27.2 and $27.3 in dividends for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are treated as a reduction to income attributable to common shareholders in the computation of earnings per share.

Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments
Concentrations of Credit Risks: We sell our products primarily to gas producers, distributors, and end-users across energy, industrial, power, HVAC and refining applications in countries throughout the world. 58%, 60%, and 59% of sales were to customers in foreign countries in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
In 2025, 2024, and 2023, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales. Sales to our top ten customers accounted for 27%, 26% and 25% of consolidated sales in 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Our sales to particular customers fluctuate from period to period, but our large industrial gas producer and distributor customers tend to be a consistently substantial source of revenue for us.
We are subject to concentrations of credit risk with respect to our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents and forward foreign currency exchange contracts. To minimize credit risk from these financial instruments, we enter into arrangements with major banks and other quality financial institutions and invest only in high-quality instruments. We do not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations.
Derivatives and Hedging
We utilize a combination of cross-currency swaps, with and without foreign exchange collars, (together the “Foreign Exchange Contracts”) as a net investment hedge of a portion of our investments in certain international subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility caused by changes in exchange rates. We are also a party to foreign currency contracts not designated as hedging instruments (the “Foreign Currency Contracts”) which are used to mitigate the risk associated with cash management activities and customer forward sale agreements denominated in currencies other than the applicable local currency, and to match costs and expected revenues where production facilities have a different currency than the selling currency.
Our Foreign Currency Contracts are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded within other expense (income), net. We classify cash flows related to our Foreign Currency Contracts as operating activities within our consolidated statements of cash flows. Our derivative contracts are entered into with major financial institutions in order to reduce credit risk
and risk of nonperformance by third parties. We believe the credit risks with respect to the counterparties, and the foreign currency risks that would not be hedged if the counterparties fail to fulfill their obligations under the contract, are not material in view of our understanding of the financial strength of the counterparties. Our derivative contracts are not exchange traded instruments and their fair value is determined using the cash flows of the contracts, discount rates to account for the passage of time, implied volatility, current foreign exchange market data and credit risk, which are all based on inputs readily available in public markets and categorized as Level 2 fair value hierarchy measurements.

_______________
(1)We calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share based on net income, which approximates income available to common shareholders for each period. Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines the earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the 2024 Convertible Notes were participating securities. Undistributed earnings are not allocated to the participating securities because the participation features are discretionary. Net losses were not allocated to the Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, as it did not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of Chart. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any dilutive non-participating securities for the period.

The Company adopted ASU 2023‑09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, effective January 1, 2025, and applied the guidance prospectively, as permitted. The amendments related to the effective tax rate reconciliation affect presentation and disaggregation requirements only and do not impact the recognition or measurement of income taxes. The Company applied the guidance using existing underlying balances. Prior‑period amounts have not been reclassified to conform to the new disclosure framework; therefore, the current‑period effective tax rate reconciliation is not directly comparable to prior‑year disclosures.
Deferred Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis by considering whether deferred tax assets will be realized on a more likely than not basis. To the extent a portion or all of the applicable deferred tax assets do not meet the more likely than not threshold, a valuation allowance is recorded. As of December 31, 2025, we have valuation allowances totaling $100.9 consisting primarily of our operations in the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium.
The Company has U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards of $81.4 which are subject to varying statutory expiration periods; however, management expects to utilize these attributes before expiration. As of December 31, 2025, we had $156.9 foreign net operating loss carryforwards primarily in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, and Italy, subject to local tax limitations. The foreign net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely, except in applicable jurisdictions that make up less than 11% of available net operating losses. We have tax credit carryforwards of $4.7.
We consider the undistributed earnings of our non-US subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025, to be partially reinvested. We are not permanently reinvested on $317.7 of the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. The remaining earnings continue to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. We have assessed a total deferred tax liability of $19.8 as of December 31, 2025 on such earnings that have not been indefinitely reinvested. This is a decrease of $0.4 as compared to the deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2024. We have made no provision for U.S. income taxes or additional non-U.S. taxes
on certain undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries. These earnings could become subject to additional tax if we were to dividend those earnings or sell our interest in the non-U.S. subsidiary. We cannot practically determine the amount of additional taxes that might be payable on those earnings.
The Organisation for Economic Co‑operation and Development (OECD) has established a framework to implement a global minimum corporate tax of 15% for multinational enterprises with revenues above certain thresholds (commonly referred to as “Pillar 2”). Certain aspects of Pillar 2 became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with additional elements becoming effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. A number of jurisdictions in which the Company operates have enacted, or are in the process of enacting, legislation implementing Pillar 2.
In January 2026, the OECD issued additional administrative guidance related to Pillar 2, including a “side‑by‑side” framework intended to allow certain minimum tax regimes to operate alongside Pillar 2 and, in certain circumstances, limit the application of Pillar 2 top‑up taxes. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and did not impact the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company continues to monitor developments related to Pillar 2 and the related administrative guidance. Based on current law and available guidance, the Company does not expect Pillar 2 to have a material impact on its effective tax rate or its consolidated results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Unrecognized Income Tax Benefits
We record a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits for the amount of benefit included in our previously filed income tax returns and in our financial results expected to be included in income tax returns to be filed for periods through the date of our consolidated financial statements for income tax positions for which it is not more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the respective tax authority.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions and file numerous group and separate returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions as well as international jurisdictions. We are routinely examined by tax authorities around the world, and tax examinations remain in process in multiple countries including, but not limited to, Denmark, Germany, and India. In the United States, the Company is currently under examination by tax authorities for the 2020 and 2023 tax years. With some exceptions, other major tax jurisdictions generally are not subject to examinations for years beginning before 2009.
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $32.5 and $36.5, respectively of income tax expenses, which, if ultimately recognized, would impact our annual effective tax rate.
We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. We accrued approximately $0.4 and $4.0 of interest and penalties at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively We recognized a liability related to interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits of $12.3 and $11.0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 respectively.

U.S. Plan termination. In May 2024, our Board of Directors approved a resolution to terminate the defined benefit pension plan that covered certain U.S. hourly and salary employees (the “U.S. Plan”) and notified plan participants of the termination and the distribution alternatives. During the fourth quarter of 2024, distributions were made to settle the obligation with plan participants electing a lump sum distribution option. During the third quarter of 2025, the plan was settled in full, which resulted in Chart no longer having any remaining funded pension plan obligations relative to the U.S. Plan. As a result of these settlements, we recognized losses of $2.3 and $1.1, which are classified as other expense, net in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We have responsibility for ten defined benefit plans outside of the United States, which are predominantly in Germany (the “International Plans”).

______________
(1)Not applicable as of December 31, 2025 and for the year then ended since the U.S. Plan was settled as of December 31, 2025.
U.S. Plan
Prior to the settlement of the U.S. plan, the discount rate reflected the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled at year end. In estimating this rate, we looked to rates of return on high quality, fixed-income investments that receive one of the two highest ratings given by a recognized rating agency and the expected timing of benefit payments under the plan.
The expected return assumptions were developed using an averaging formula based upon the U.S. Plans’ investment guidelines, mix of asset classes, historical returns of equities and bonds, and expected future returns. We employed a total return investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments were used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance was established through careful consideration of short and long-term plan liabilities, plan funded status and corporate financial condition. The investment portfolio contained a diversified blend of equity and fixed-income investments. Furthermore, equity investments were diversified across U.S. and non-U.S stocks, as well as growth, value, and small and large capitalizations. Investment risk was measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews, annual liability measurements, and periodic asset/liability studies.
International Plans
In determining discount rates for the International Plans, we utilize the single discount rate equivalent to discounting the expected future cash flows from each plan using the yields at each duration from a published yield curve as of the measurement date. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on our investment policy target allocation of the asset portfolio between various asset classes and the expected real returns of each asset class over various periods of time that are consistent with the long-term nature of the underlying obligations of these plans.
Our primary investment objective for the defined benefit pension plan assets is to provide a source of retirement income for the plans’ participants and beneficiaries.
The U.S. Plan’s target and actual allocations by asset category prior to the 2025 settlement was 100% cash and cash equivalents (categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). The U.S. Plan’s target allocations by asset category as of December 31, 2024 was 71% fixed income funds and 29% other investments. The fair values of fixed income securities held in pooled separate funds were based on net asset value of the units of the funds as determined by the fund manager. These funds were similar in nature to retail mutual funds, but were typically more efficient for institutional investors. The fair value of pooled funds was determined by the value of the underlying assets held by the fund and the units outstanding. The fair value of the pooled funds was not directly observable, but was based on observable inputs. As such, these plan assets were valued using Level 2 inputs. Certain plan assets in the other investments asset category were invested in a general investment account where the fair value was derived from the liquidation value based on an actuarial formula as defined under terms of the investment contract. These plan assets were valued using unobservable inputs and, accordingly, the valuation was performed using Level 3 inputs.
The International Plans’ target allocations by asset category and fair values of the plan assets by asset class at December 31 are as follows:
International Plans
Target Allocations by Asset CategoryFair Value
TotalLevel 1Level 2

Total$50.3 $42.4 $— $— $50.3 $42.4 
The assets are invested with the goal of preserving principal while providing a reasonable real rate of return over the long term. Diversification of assets is achieved through strategic allocations to various asset classes in line with the investment guidelines of the plans. Actual allocations to each asset class vary due to periodic investment strategy changes, market value fluctuations, the length of time it takes to fully implement investment allocation positions, and the timing of benefit payments and contributions. The asset allocation is monitored and rebalanced as required, as frequently as on a quarterly basis in some instances. The plan assets are primarily invested in pooled separate funds. The fair values of equity securities and fixed income securities held in pooled separate funds are based on net asset value of the units of the funds as determined by the fund manager. These funds are similar in nature to retail mutual funds, but are typically more efficient for institutional investors. The fair value of pooled funds is determined by the value of the underlying assets held by the fund and the units outstanding. The value of the pooled funds is not directly observable, but is based on observable inputs. As such, these plan assets are valued using Level 2 inputs.
Our funding policy is to contribute at least the minimum funding amounts required by law. Expected contributions to our International Plans for the year ended December 31, 2025, related to plans as of December 31, 2024, are $2.9. The following benefit payments are expected to be paid by the plan in each of the next five years and in the aggregate for the subsequent five years:

Defined Contribution Plans
The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans at various locations globally. Company contributions to the plans are based on employee contributions and include a Company match and discretionary contributions. Expenses under the plan totaled $23.3, $22.1, and $18.2 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Regarding the treatment of equity awards pursuant to the Merger Agreement, refer to Note 1, “Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation” for discussion.
We recognized share-based compensation expense of $17.2, $18.9, and $12.6 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. This expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of income. The tax benefit related to share-based compensation during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $1.6, $1.7 and $1.7, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there was $9.8 of total unrecognized compensation cost, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years.
Stock Options
We use a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options. The expected volatility is based on historical information. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. Weighted-average grant-date fair values of stock options and the assumptions used in estimating the fair values are as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental
We are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other matters, waste water effluents, air emissions, and handling and disposal of hazardous materials, such as cleaning fluids. We are involved with environmental compliance, investigation, monitoring, and remediation activities at certain of our owned and formerly owned manufacturing facilities, and, except for these continuing remediation efforts, believe we are currently in substantial compliance with all known environmental regulations. Undiscounted accrued reserves at December 31, 2025 and 2024 were not material.
Legal Proceedings
Ordinary Course Litigation: We are occasionally subject to various legal claims related to performance under contracts, product liability, taxes, employment matters, environmental matters, intellectual property, and other matters incidental to the normal course of our business. Based on our historical experience in litigating these claims, as well as our current assessment of the underlying merits of the claims and applicable insurance, if any, management believes that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity, cash flows, or results of operations. Due to the inherent uncertainties related to the eventual outcome of litigation and potential insurance recoveries, it is possible that
certain matters may be resolved for amounts materially different from any provisions or disclosures that we have previously made.
Supplemental Disclosure: Following the announcement of the Merger Agreement, two lawsuits — captioned McDaniels v. Chart Industries, Inc. et al., 655434/2025 and Johnson v. Chart Industries, Inc. et al., 655438/2025 — were filed on September 11, 2025 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York by purported Chart stockholders, each naming Chart and the members of its board of directors as defendants (the “Complaints”). The Complaints claim that the Definitive Proxy Statement is materially incomplete and misleading under New York law, and seek injunctive relief, damages and costs, among other remedies. Chart has also received demand letters from multiple stockholders threatening litigation and/or making other demands relating to the Merger, including demands for additional disclosures. Although Chart cannot predict the outcome or estimate the possible loss or range of loss from these matters, Chart and its directors believe that the allegations contained in the Complaints and demand letters are without merit, that no supplemental disclosures are required or necessary under applicable law, and that the requested disclosures are immaterial.
However, in order to reduce the risk of the demand letters or Complaints delaying the Special Meeting or the closing of the Merger, and to minimize the nuisance and expense of defending against any litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, on September 25, 2025, Chart filed a Form 8-K to update and supplement the Definitive Proxy Statement with additional disclosures relating the Merger (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). Thereafter, the attorney representing the stockholders who filed the Complaints acknowledged that the Supplemental Disclosures mooted the claims raised in the Complaints in their entirety and confirmed that they will seek a mootness fee in connection with the Supplemental Disclosures. The Complaints will remain pending while the forthcoming mootness fee demand is resolved. Chart maintains that none of the Supplemental Disclosures are material. Nevertheless, resolution of these matters may involve payments by Chart to the stockholders’ attorneys that filed the Complaints and/or submitted the demand letters.

Accounts Receivable Factoring Accounts Receivable Factoring
On June 27, 2025 we entered into an agreement to sell certain of our trade accounts receivable, with limited recourse, to a third-party financial institution pursuant to factoring arrangements. We account for these transactions as sales of receivables and present cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. During the year ended December 31, 2025, total trade accounts receivable sold under the factoring arrangements were $152.9. Factoring fees for the sales of receivables were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2025, which were not material. We continue to service the transferred receivables after factoring has occurred, however this servicing does not constitute a significant continuing involvement.

Roots™ Divestiture
On June 11, 2023, we signed a definitive agreement to divest our Roots business, which we acquired as part of the Howden Acquisition, to Ingersoll Rand Inc. (New York Stock Exchange: IR) (“buyer”) for a base purchase price of $300.0, subject to customary adjustments. The sale was completed on August 18, 2023 with proceeds totaling $291.9 before customary estimated closing working capital adjustments, which are complete. The purchase price was subject to a final net working capital adjustment of $2.5, settled in the first quarter of 2024.
We previously determined that our Roots business qualified for discontinued operations and as such, the financial results of the Roots business are reflected in our consolidated statements of income as discontinued operations for our entire ownership period of March 17, 2023 through August 18, 2023.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Risk Management and Strategy
We have established processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, as defined in Item 106(a) of Regulation S-K. These risks include, among other things: operational risks, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to employees or customers and violation of data privacy or security laws.
During 2025, we realized our objective of having no material cybersecurity incidents. Moreover, we have not experienced any material information security breaches and have not incurred material expenses from cybersecurity incidents, including those arising at third parties, during any of the last three years. However, while we have not experienced any such material incidents to date, there can be no guarantee that we will not experience cybersecurity incidents in the future.
By prioritizing cybersecurity at the highest level of our leadership, we assess cybersecurity risk, allocate resources and maintain a culture of cybersecurity awareness throughout Chart. Chart ties cybersecurity or being cyber safe to our key theme of safety, as an industrial manufacturer. Identifying and assessing cybersecurity risk is integrated into our overall risk management systems and processes. Cybersecurity risks related to our business, technical operations, privacy and compliance issues are identified and addressed through third-party assessments, internal IT Audit, IT security, governance, risk and compliance reviews. To defend, detect and respond to cybersecurity incidents, we conduct proactive privacy and cybersecurity reviews of systems and applications, audit applicable data policies, perform penetration testing using external third-party tools and techniques to test security controls, encourage proactive vulnerability reporting, conduct employee training, monitor emerging laws and regulations related to data protection and information security and implement appropriate changes.
We have incident response and breach management processes which occur in stages starting with preparation for cybersecurity incidents followed by detection and analysis of cybersecurity incidents, containment, eradication and recovery, and post-incident analysis. Such incident responses are overseen by leaders from our information security, compliance and legal teams. Security events and data incidents are evaluated, ranked by severity, and prioritized for response and remediation. Incidents are evaluated to determine materiality as well as operational and business impact and reviewed for privacy impact.
We also simulate responses to cybersecurity incidents by conducting tabletop exercises. Our cybersecurity professionals then collaborate with technical and business stakeholders across our business units to further analyze the risk to the company, and form detection, mitigation, and remediation strategies.
As part of the above processes, we regularly engage external auditors and consultants to assess our internal cybersecurity programs and compliance with applicable practices and standards. These parties perform on-demand assessments of our information security controls, including targeted reviews of our technical environment, evaluations of our compliance with applicable frameworks, and independent penetration testing exercises. We use the results of these external assessments, along with recommendations from these expert service providers, to help identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks. Additionally, these outcomes drive updates to our security controls, governance practices, and incident response plan. In past years, our Information Security Management System has continued to work a Plan of Action and Milestones (“POAM”) tied to the United States Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (“CMMC”) program, formerly the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework, while looking for synergies across other standards, such as the Information Assurance Technical Framework (“IATF”), or as required for specific product lines or customers. Furthermore, we benchmark externally against other industrial manufacturers within the B2B (Business to Business) manufacturing industry, and even to a vertical level to determine Chart’s risk profile through cybersecurity insurance tools that rank companies and bring them together within forums for cyber intelligence sharing and best practices.
Our risk management program also assesses third-party risks to identify and mitigate risks from vendors, suppliers, and other business partners associated with our use of third-party service providers. Cybersecurity risks are evaluated when determining the selection and oversight of applicable third-party service providers and potential fourth-party risks when handling and/or processing our employee, business or customer data. In addition, we strive to have the appropriate cybersecurity clauses in our agreements and where necessary we have Data Processing Agreements (“DPAs”) put in place for privacy of data. In addition to these measures we maintain processes to oversee and monitor cybersecurity risks associated with third-party service providers. These processes include periodic reassessments of select vendors based on risk and review of external security ratings and threat-intelligence sources. We also evaluate significant suppliers and service providers during onboarding using risk-based criteria and reassess them as needed when material changes occur in their security posture or services.

Governance
Cybersecurity is an important part of our risk management processes and an area of focus for our Board and management. Our Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of risks from cybersecurity threats. The Board receives updates on a regular basis from senior management, including leaders from our information security, compliance and legal teams regarding matters of cybersecurity. This includes existing and new cybersecurity risks, status on how management is addressing and/or mitigating those risks, cybersecurity, and data privacy incidents (if any) and status of key information security initiatives. Our Board members also engage in ad hoc conversations with management on cybersecurity-related news events and discuss any updates to our cybersecurity risk management and strategy programs.
Our cybersecurity risk management and strategy processes are overseen by leaders from our information security, compliance and legal teams. The Board of Directors and Chart senior management recognize cybersecurity as a company-wide risk, and the chief information officer/chief information security officer (“CIO/CISO”), as a member of the Chart senior management, works to organize these functional teams given the individual’s experience and background of over 25 years within various IT roles, including the build out of the cybersecurity capability within Chart and at prior companies. Individuals that oversee cybersecurity risk management have an average of over 20 years of prior work experience in various roles involving information technology, including security, auditing, compliance, networking server administration, programming, and hold certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (“CISSP”) and the Global Information Assurance Certification (“GIAC”) entity’s Certified Detection Analyst certification (“GCDA”). These individuals monitor the prevention, mitigation, detection and remediation of cybersecurity incidents through their management of, and participation in, the cybersecurity risk management and strategy processes described above, including our incident response plan, and report to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee on any appropriate items.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of Chart Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. These estimates may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions based on a number of factors including the current macroeconomic conditions such as inflation and supply chain disruptions
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash Equivalents
Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash Equivalents: We consider all investments with an initial maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are included within other current assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For further information regarding restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents balances, refer to Note 9, “Debt and Credit Arrangements.”
Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances
Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances: Accounts receivable includes amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable. In addition, we estimate expected credit losses based on historical loss information then adjust the estimates based on current, reasonable and supportable forecast economic conditions. Past-due trade receivable balances are written off when our internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful. As a practical expedient, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised product or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be one year or less. We do not typically include extended payment terms in our contracts with customers.
Inventories
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. We determine inventory valuation reserves based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific problem in the valuation of a certain item, a specific reserve is recorded to reduce the item to its net realizable value. We also recognize reserves based on the actual usage in recent history and projected usage in the near-term.
Unbilled Contract Revenue, Customer Advances and Billings in Excess of Contract Revenue, and Revenue Recognition
Unbilled Contract Revenue: Unbilled contract revenue represents contract assets resulting from revenue recognized over time in excess of the amount billed to the customer and the amount billed to the customer is not just subject to the passage of time. Billing requirements vary by contract but are generally structured around the completion of certain milestones. These contract assets are generally classified as current.
Customer Advances and Billings in Excess of Contract Revenue: Our contract liabilities consist of advance customer payments, billings in excess of revenue recognized and deferred revenue. Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. We classify advance customer payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized as current. We classify deferred revenue as current or non-current based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The current portion of deferred revenue is included in customer advances and billings in excess of contract revenue in our consolidated balance sheets. Long-term deferred revenue is included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when (or as) we satisfy performance obligations by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. A contract with a customer exists when there is commitment and approval from both parties involved, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are defined, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of consideration is probable. An asset is transferred to a customer when, or as, the customer obtains control over that asset. In most contracts, the transaction price includes both fixed and variable consideration. The variable consideration contained within our contracts with customers includes discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, penalties and other similar items. When the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service is expected, at contract inception, to be one year or less, we do not adjust for the effects of a significant financing component. When a contract includes variable consideration, we evaluate the estimate of the variable consideration and determine whether the estimate needs to be constrained; therefore, we include the variable consideration in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Variable consideration estimates are updated at each reporting date. When a contract includes multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated among the performance obligations based upon the stand alone selling prices.
In certain contracts, we are engaged to engineer and build highly-customized products and systems. In these circumstances, we produce an asset with no alternative use and have a right to payment for performance completed to date. For these contracts, revenue is recognized as we satisfy the performance obligations computed using input methods such as costs incurred. Input methods recognize revenue on the basis of the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of a performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. The costs incurred input method measures progress toward the satisfaction of the performance obligation by multiplying the transaction price of the performance obligation by the percentage of incurred costs as of the balance sheet date to the total estimated costs at completion after giving effect to the most current estimates. Revisions to estimated cost to complete that result from inefficiencies in our performance that were not expected in the pricing of the contract are expensed in the period in which these inefficiencies become known. Contract modifications can change a contract’s scope, price, or both. Approved contract modifications are accounted for as either a separate contract or as part of the existing contract depending on the nature of the modification.
Where contracts do not meet the over time recognition requirements, the company recognizes revenue at a point in time. For these contracts, revenue is recognized when we satisfy our performance obligation to the customer. The specific point in time when control transfers depends on the contract with the customer, contract terms that provide for a present obligation to pay, physical possession, legal title, risk and rewards of ownership, acceptance of the asset, and bill-and-hold arrangements may impact the point in time when control transfers to the customer. We recognize revenue under bill-and-hold arrangements when control transfers and the reason for the arrangement is substantive, the product is separately identified as belonging to the customer, the product is ready for physical transfer and we do not have the ability to use the product or direct it to another customer.
Incremental contract costs are expensed when incurred when the amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less; otherwise, incremental contract costs are recognized as an asset and amortized over time as promised goods and services are transferred to a customer. When losses are expected to be incurred on a contract, we recognize the entire anticipated loss in the accounting period when the loss becomes evident. The loss is recognized when the current estimate of the consideration we expect to receive, modified to include unconstrained variable consideration instead of constrained variable consideration, is less than the current estimate of total costs for the contract.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction that are collected by us from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Shipping and handling fee revenues and the related expenses are reported as fulfillment revenues and expenses for all customers. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales. Amounts billed to customers for shipping are classified as sales, and the related costs are classified as cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income.
Cost of Sales: Manufacturing expenses associated with sales are included in cost of sales. Cost of sales includes all materials, direct and indirect labor, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving, inspection, internal transfers, and distribution and warehousing of inventory. In addition, shop supplies, facility maintenance costs, manufacturing engineering, project management, and depreciation expense for assets used in the manufacturing process are included in cost of sales on the consolidated statements of income.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, Plant and Equipment: Capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas major improvements that extend the useful life are capitalized. The cost of applicable assets is depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes.
Lessee Accounting
Lessee Accounting: At lease inception, we determine if an arrangement is a lease and if it includes options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the options will be exercised. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases. Operating leases are recognized as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and are included within property, plant and equipment, net, and lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other
long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are recognized as ROU assets and are included within other assets. They are then amortized over the lesser of the lease term or useful economic life of the underlying asset. Operating lease liabilities are included within other current liabilities and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease liabilities are included within other current liabilities and other liabilities. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
Lessor Accounting
Lessor Accounting: Similar to lessee accounting, at lease inception we determine if an arrangement is a lease. The net investment of our lease receivables is measured at the commencement date as the present value of the lease payments not yet received. Operating leases are reported at cost as equipment leased to others within property, plant and equipment, net in our consolidated balance sheets and depreciated based on their useful lives on a straight-line basis. Sales from sales-type and operating leases are presented net of sales tax and other related taxes. Interest income is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest method and is classified as interest expense, net in our consolidated statements of income. Lease payments from operating leases are recorded as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived Assets: We monitor our property, plant, equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment indicators on an ongoing basis. Assets are grouped and tested at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available. If impairment indicators exist, we perform the required analysis and record impairment charges, if applicable. In conducting our analysis, we compare the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the net book value, the long-lived assets are considered not to be impaired. If the net book value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. An impairment loss is measured as the difference between the net book value and the fair value of the long-lived assets. Fair value is estimated from discounted future net cash flows (for assets held and used) or net realizable value (for assets held for sale). Changes in economic or operating conditions impacting these estimates and assumptions could result in the impairment of long-lived assets. We amortize intangible assets that have finite lives over their estimated useful lives.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets: Goodwill is recognized as the excess cost of an acquired entity over the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. We do not amortize goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets, but review them for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an evaluation should be completed.
Goodwill is analyzed on a reporting unit basis. The reporting units are the same as our operating and reportable segments, which are as follows: Cryo Tank Solutions, Heat Transfer Systems, Specialty Products and Repair, Service & Leasing. We first evaluate qualitative factors, such as macroeconomic conditions and our overall financial performance to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. We then evaluate how significant each of the identified factors could be to the fair value or carrying amount of a reporting unit and weigh these factors in totality in forming a conclusion of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount (the “Step 0 Test”). If we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the first step of the goodwill impairment test is not necessary. Otherwise, we would proceed to the first step of the goodwill impairment test.
Alternatively, we may also bypass the Step 0 Test and proceed directly to the first step of the goodwill impairment test. Under the first step (“Step 1”), we estimate the fair value of the reporting units by considering income and market approaches to develop fair value estimates, which are weighted to arrive at a fair value estimate for each reporting unit. With respect to the income approach, a model has been developed to estimate the fair value of each reporting unit. This fair value model incorporates estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows among reporting units, estimates of future growth rates and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows. With respect to the market approach, a guideline company method is employed whereby pricing multiples are derived from companies with similar assets or businesses to estimate fair value of each reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying amount of the net assets assigned to that reporting unit, then goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. However, if the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment charge is based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., we would measure the charge based on the result from Step 1).
In order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated fair values of the reporting units, we also compare the sum of the reporting units’ fair values to the market capitalization and calculate an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units’ fair values over the market capitalization). We evaluate the control premium by comparing it to control premiums of recent comparable transactions. If the implied control premium is not reasonable in light of this assessment, we reevaluate the fair value estimates of the reporting units by adjusting the discount rates and other assumptions as necessary.
Changes to the assumptions and estimates used throughout the steps described above may result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the reporting units, which could result in a different assessment of the recoverability of goodwill and result in future impairment charges.
With respect to indefinite-lived intangible assets, we first evaluate relevant events and circumstances to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, in weighing all relevant events and circumstances in totality, we determine that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is not impaired, no further action is necessary. Otherwise, we would determine the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets and perform a quantitative impairment assessment by comparing the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value to its carrying amount. We may bypass such a qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative assessment. We estimate the fair value of the indefinite-lived assets using the income approach. This may include the relief from royalty method or use of a model similar to the one described above related to goodwill which estimates the future cash flows attributed to the indefinite-lived intangible asset and then discounting these cash flows back to a present value. Under the relief from royalty method, fair value is estimated by discounting the royalty savings, as well as any tax benefits related to ownership to a present value. The fair value from either approach is compared to the carrying value and an impairment is recorded if the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value.
Equity Method Investments
Equity Method Investments: Investments, including certain of our joint ventures, where Chart has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not possess control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each investment includes considering key factors such as our ownership interest, our representation on the investee’s board of directors and participation in policy-making decisions. We recognize the equity method investee’s proportionate share of the earnings and losses and classify as equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, net in our consolidated statements of income. We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized in earnings for the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its estimated fair value. Equity method investments are included within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in Equity Securities: We measure certain of our investments in equity securities where we have no significant influence and generally less than 20% ownership interest at fair value on a recurring basis according to the fair value hierarchy as defined below. We reassess measurement options for these investments on a quarterly basis. Mark-to-market fair value adjustments in these investments in equity securities are classified within other expense (income), net in our consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Investments in equity securities for which there is no readily determinable fair value are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Investments in equity securities are included within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
Preferred Stock and Dividends
Preferred Stock and Dividends: Preferred stock is evaluated to determine balance sheet classification, and all conversion and redemption features are evaluated for bifurcation treatment. Proceeds received net of issuance costs are recognized on the settlement date. Cash dividends become a liability once declared. Income available to common stockholders is computed by deducting from net income the dividends accumulated and earned during the period on cumulative preferred stock.
Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments: The fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term bank debt approximate their carrying amount because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Concentration Risks
To minimize credit risk from trade receivables, we review the financial condition of potential customers in relation to established credit requirements before sales credit is extended and monitor the financial condition and payment history of customers to help ensure timely collections and to minimize losses. Additionally, for certain domestic and foreign customers, we require advance payments, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances, and other such guarantees of payment. Certain customers also require us to issue letters of credit or performance bonds, particularly in instances where advance payments are involved, as a condition of placing the order.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements: We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments: We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to enhance our ability to manage foreign currency risk that exists as part of ongoing business operations. Derivative instruments are entered into for periods consistent with related underlying exposures and do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. We do not enter into contracts for speculative purposes nor are we a party to any leveraged derivative instrument. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as a result of transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of certain subsidiaries. We utilize foreign currency forward purchase and sale contracts to manage the volatility associated with foreign currency transactions in the normal course of business. Contracts typically have maturities of less than one year. Principal currencies include the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Chinese yuan, the Czech koruna, the Australian dollar, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Indian rupee, the Chilean peso, and South African rand. Our foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify as hedges as defined by accounting guidance. Foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value and recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as other long-term liabilities, other current liabilities, other assets or other current assets. Changes in their fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of income within other expense (income), net. Our foreign currency forward contracts are not exchange traded instruments and, accordingly, the valuation is performed using Level 2 inputs as defined above. Gains or losses on settled or expired contracts are recorded in the consolidated statements of income as foreign currency gains or losses.
We enter into a combination of cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange collars as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain international subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility caused by changes in exchange rates. Our cross-currency swaps and foreign exchange collars are measured at fair value and recorded on the consolidated balance sheets within other assets or other long-term liabilities. Changes in fair value are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments within accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Our derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements or agreements between the Company and each counterparty for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of a default or termination of any one contract with that certain counterparty. It is our practice to recognize the gross amounts in the consolidated balance sheets.
Business Combinations
Business Combinations: We account for business combinations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations.” We recognize and measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, is assigned to goodwill. As additional information becomes available, we may further revise the preliminary acquisition consideration allocation during the remainder of the measurement period, which shall not exceed twelve months from the closing of the acquisition.
We expense transaction related costs, including legal, consulting, accounting and other costs, in the periods in which the costs are incurred.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses: SG&A expenses include selling, marketing, customer service, product management and other administrative expenses not directly supporting the manufacturing process, as well as depreciation expense associated with non-manufacturing assets. In addition, SG&A expenses include corporate operating expenses for executive management, accounting, tax, treasury, corporate development, human resources, information technology, investor relations, legal, internal audit and risk management.
Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets
Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets generally consist of customer relationships, unpatented technology, patents and trademarks and trade names and are amortized over their estimated useful lives which generally range from 2 to 15 years. Identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets generally consist of trademarks and trade names and are subject to impairment testing on at least an annual basis. We estimate the fair value of identifiable intangible assets under income approaches where the fair value models incorporate estimates of future cash flows, estimates of allocations of certain assets and cash flows, estimates of future growth rates, and management’s judgment regarding the applicable discount rates to use to discount such estimates of cash flows. As such, acquisitions are classified as Level 3 fair value hierarchy measurements and disclosures.
Amortization Expense: Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which vary depending on the type of intangible assets. In determining the estimated useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets, we consider the nature, competitive position, life cycle and historical and expected future operating cash flows of each acquired assets.
Research and Development Costs
Research and Development Costs: We incurred research and development costs of $41.9, $38.3, and $23.3 for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Such costs are expensed as incurred and included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign Currency Translation: The functional currency for the majority of our foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for asset and liability accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date and for revenue and expense accounts using the average exchange rate during the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Certain of our foreign entities remeasure from local to functional currencies, which is then translated to the reporting currency of the Company. Remeasurement from local to functional currencies is included in cost of sales or other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of income. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are charged to other expense (income), net in the consolidated statements of income as incurred.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes: The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial reporting and the consolidated tax return in accordance with the liability method. A valuation allowance is provided against net deferred tax assets when conditions indicate that it is more likely than not that the benefit related to such assets will not be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. In the event that we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the valuation allowance will be adjusted with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.
We utilize a two-step approach for the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position and determine whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more likely than not of being realized upon settlement.
Interest and penalties related to income taxes are accounted for as income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income.
We are subjected to a tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”), which we record as a period cost as incurred.
Share-based Compensation
Share-based Compensation: We measure share-based compensation expense for share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock, restricted share units and performance units based on the grant-date fair value. The fair value of stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model and is recognized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period. The grant-date fair value calculation under the Black-Scholes pricing model requires the use of variables such as exercise term of the option, future volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted share units is based on Chart’s market price on the date of grant and is generally recognized on an accelerated basis over the vesting period. The fair value of performance units is based on Chart’s market price on the date of grant and pre-determined performance and market conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance measurement period based on the probability that the performance and market conditions will be achieved. We reassess the vesting probability of performance units each reporting period and adjust share-based compensation expense based on our probability assessment. Share-based compensation expense for all awards considers estimated forfeitures.
During the year, we may repurchase shares of common stock from equity plan participants to satisfy tax withholding obligations relating to the vesting or payment of equity awards. All such repurchased shares are retired in the period in which the repurchases occur.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans
Defined Benefit Pension Plans: We sponsor multiple defined benefit pension plans. The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. The change in the funded status of the plan is recognized in the year in which the change occurs through accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Our funding policy is to contribute at least the minimum funding amounts required by law. Management has chosen policies according to accounting guidance that allow the use of a calculated value of plan assets, which generally reduces the volatility of expense (income) from changes in pension liability discount rates and the performance of the pension plans’ assets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards: In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this update enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This update enhances the rate reconciliation by requiring disclosure of specific categories and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The update also requires enhanced annual disclosures related to income taxes paid, income from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We have adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2025 and applied the amendments on a prospective basis.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Not Yet Adopted)
Recently Issued Accounting Standards (Not Yet Adopted): In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, “Accounting for Government Grants”, which adds guidance to ASC 832 on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied either by a modified prospective approach, modified retrospective approach, or a full retrospective approach. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-07, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which refines the scope of the guidance on derivatives in ASC 815 and clarifies the guidance on share-based payments from a customer in ASC 606. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)”, which provides guidance to clarify and modernize the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The guidance removes references to project stages throughout ASC 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. Additionally, the guidance specifies that the property, plant and equipment disclosure requirements under ASC 360-10 apply to capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”, which introduces a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures, and do not expect a material impact.
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 is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The updates required by this standard are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. We are currently assessing the effect this ASU will have on our disclosures.

_______________
(1)We calculate the basic and diluted earnings per share based on net income, which approximates income available to common shareholders for each period. Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines the earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock and the 2024 Convertible Notes were participating securities. Undistributed earnings are not allocated to the participating securities because the participation features are discretionary. Net losses were not allocated to the Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, as it did not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of Chart. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any dilutive non-participating securities for the period.

Schedule of Target Allocation by Asset Category and Fair Value
The U.S. Plan’s target and actual allocations by asset category prior to the 2025 settlement was 100% cash and cash equivalents (categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy). The U.S. Plan’s target allocations by asset category as of December 31, 2024 was 71% fixed income funds and 29% other investments. The fair values of fixed income securities held in pooled separate funds were based on net asset value of the units of the funds as determined by the fund manager. These funds were similar in nature to retail mutual funds, but were typically more efficient for institutional investors. The fair value of pooled funds was determined by the value of the underlying assets held by the fund and the units outstanding. The fair value of the pooled funds was not directly observable, but was based on observable inputs. As such, these plan assets were valued using Level 2 inputs. Certain plan assets in the other investments asset category were invested in a general investment account where the fair value was derived from the liquidation value based on an actuarial formula as defined under terms of the investment contract. These plan assets were valued using unobservable inputs and, accordingly, the valuation was performed using Level 3 inputs.
The International Plans’ target allocations by asset category and fair values of the plan assets by asset class at December 31 are as follows:
