Organization and Basis of Presentation ESAB Corporation (“ESAB” or the “Company”) is a world leader in fabrication and gas control technology, providing our partners with advanced equipment, consumables, gas control equipment, robotics, and digital solutions, which enable the everyday and extraordinary work that shapes our world. The Company’s products are utilized to solve challenges in a wide range of industries, including cutting, joining and automated welding. The Company conducts its operations through two reportable segments. These segments consist of the “Americas,” which includes operations in North America and South America, and “EMEA & APAC,” which includes Europe, Middle East, India, Africa and Asia Pacific. Historically, these businesses had operated as part of Enovis Corporation’s (“Former Parent” or “Enovis”) Fabrication Technologies reportable segment. The C om th 13-week Separation from Enovis On January 31, 2022, all remaining legal entities which were part of the Fabrication Technology segment of the Former Parent along with certain entities that were part of the Corporate segment of the Former Parent became subsidiaries of ESAB through a legal entity restructuring. This reorganization resulted in the inclusion of the following items in ESAB for the three months ending April 1, 2022: • Certain operating entities that form the historical Fabrication Technology business. • Certain entities which historically have been a part of the Former Parent’s Corporate reportable segment, including components of the Former Parent’s legal, human resources, tax and other finance functions that served the entirety of the Former Parent. • Certain entities relating to the Former Parent’s previously divested Fluid Handling businesses which hold certain asbestos assets, liabilities, costs and insurance recoveries related to the asbestos obligations of these legacy industrial businesses. Refer to Note 2, “Discontinued Operations” and Note 13, “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information. • Certain pension plan assets and liabilities due to transfer of sponsorship of two U.S. defined benefit plans and a U.S. other post-retirement benefit plan from the Former Parent to ESAB as of March 21, 2022. Refer to Note 8, “Benefit Plans” for additional information on the benefit plans transferred to ESAB. The above items, with the exception of the operating entities that form the Fabrication Technology business, were not previously included in the Company’s 2019 to 2021 historical carve-out carve-out 10-12B/A ESAB Corporation, which was incorporated on May 19, 2021, became the new ultimate parent company for the Former Parent’s Fabrication Technology business during the three months ended April 1, 2022. On April 4, 2022 (the “Distribution Date”), Colfax Corporation (“Colfax” or the “Former Parent”) completed the spin-off described above, through a tax-free, In connection with the Separation, on April 4, 2022, ESAB and Enovis entered into a separation and distribution agreement as well as various other related agreements (collectively the “Agreements”) that govern the Separation and the relationships between the parties going forward, including a transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement, and license agreement for the ESAB Business Excellence System (“EBX”). In conjunction with the Separation on April 4, 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Company drew down $1.2 billion under the Credit Agreement and used these proceeds to make payments to Enovis of $1.2 billion, which was used as part of the consideration for the contribution of certain assets and liabilities to the Company by Enovis in connection with the Separation. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements and cross-currency swap agreements to manage exposures to currency exchange rates and interest rates arising from these credit facilities; refer to Note 9 “Debt” and Note 10 “Derivatives” for additional information. On May 12, 2022, ESAB declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share of the Company’s common stock.

On April 25, 2022, ESAB announced that the Company may be required to transition out of its business in Russia and are evaluating options and possible timing for this transition. ESAB continues to fulfill current contractual obligations while addressing applicable laws and regulations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Russia represented approximately 7% and 6% of the Company’s total revenue, and approximately $7 million and $14 million of its Net Income, respectively. Russia also has approximately 6% of the Company’s total net assets excluding any goodwill allocation as of September 30, 2022. In case of the disposition of the Russia business, a portion of goodwill will need to be allocated and disposed of in the relative fair value attributable to the Russia business. Russia has a cumulative translation loss of approximately $50 million as of September 30, 2022, which could be realized upon a transition. To cover credit risks related to Russian and Ukrainian operations, ESAB increased the allowance on receivables by approximately $4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
