Comments from Chris Koch, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

"As we exited the third quarter, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be past its summer and early autumn peak. This trend, combined with improvements in our supply chain and positive movement towards a resumption of passenger air travel approaching pre-pandemic levels, is driving increased optimism about our ability to deliver continued strong results. We have also seen strong demand in our Building Products markets. Along with a steadily growing backlog across all three of Carlisle's segments, we are increasingly positive entering the fourth quarter and 2022. Nonetheless, within the third quarter of 2021, our teams faced a very challenging operating environment, given difficult supply chain and labor conditions, as well the impact of Hurricane Ida. Despite these challenges, I am proud to report Carlisle's employees again displayed their resilience in delivering record results, all the while doing so with strict adherence to the same health and safety protocols and precautions that have been in place throughout the pandemic, extending Carlisle's excellent safety record.

Vision 2025 continues to provide clarity of mission and a consistent direction for our entire organization. We have stayed the course and maintain confidence in our ability to execute on our strategies, despite the challenges throughout the COVID pandemic. Vision 2025 focuses our continuous improvement culture on providing our customers with innovative products of the best quality at the right place, at the right time. Ensuring the highest level of communication, transparency and service is embodied in what we call the Carlisle Experience, which we are committed to delivering to all our channel partners.

As introduced in Vision 2025, we committed to a leaner, more focused portfolio and a pivot towards investing in our highest-returning businesses, particularly Carlisle Construction Materials (CCM). This commitment was further evidenced in the third quarter by our divestiture of Brake & Friction, while CCM's outstanding performance affirmed that our conviction is correct. CCM's best-in-class team delivered record third quarter revenues in an extremely difficult operating environment. In anticipation of solid construction market demand in 2021, we ensured that our employees stood ready to produce; communicated clearly with our channel partners about our raw material requirements; built inventory; increased capacity; and remained steadfast in applying the Carlisle Operating System (COS) to drive efficiencies across CCM. We will maintain our pricing discipline in the marketplace, capturing the full value of the Carlisle Experience, which reflects our unyielding commitment to servicing the increasingly complex needs of our customers.

CCM continues to benefit from a growing backlog fueled by the strong re-roofing cycle in the United States, an ever-increasing emphasis on the energy-efficiency of buildings, and our investments in expansion of our presence in the Building Envelope. Our increasing focus on Building Products is exemplified by our recent acquisition of Henry, which delivered excellent results in its first month with Carlisle, and where integration thus far has been smooth. As the integration has progressed, we have become more appreciative of Henry's seasoned management team, which is executing on all fronts, and already proving to be a great addition to Carlisle.

Some additional information about the notable drivers of CCM's business include:

• Re-roofing demand remains strong in the U.S. market, which is expected to grow from $6 billion to $8 billion in the next decade. Near term, the lingering effects of the pandemic and raw material and labor constraints have contributed to growing backlogs and significant increases in near term demand.
• With buildings accounting for approximately 30% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions, we continue to focus on innovation, emphasizing the development of products that ensure greater energy-efficiency.
• Our drive to increase the content of energy-efficient products in our portfolio and further expand into the building envelope resulted in our acquisition of Henry for $1.575 billion in the third quarter. As one example of our expanded portfolio of energy-efficient products, Henry's Air and Vapor barriers prevent uncontrolled air leakage and can yield up to 30% savings on heating and cooling costs.

While we're pleased with CCM's performance, CIT and CFT both contributed to our results and exhibited continued progress. As we expected, CIT returned to growth in the third quarter. Notably, CIT is now leveraging growth quite well, having returned to positive adjusted EBIT during the quarter with expectations for continued profitability improvement going forward. Lower demand for commercial aircraft due to the pandemic forced the team to focus on improving and repositioning the business for the future. CIT took significant actions, including rightsizing its footprint, and created a more efficient operating structure. That said, CIT's commercial aerospace backlog has consistently grown in 2021, and has now surpassed second quarter of 2020 levels, a significant milestone. Coupling this with the improving backlog in our Medical Technologies business, we expect recovery to continue at CIT, and solid leverage to this growth over the coming quarters and years.

Driven by accelerating industrial capital expenditures as companies expand capacity in response to supply constraints, CFT delivered strong revenue growth, despite the many documented supply chain issues challenging the automotive industry. This growth was supported by a commitment to new product introductions, price discipline and excellent performances by our teams in Europe and China. We also continue to make progress integrating and growing our newer platforms of Sealants & Adhesives, Foam and Powder. With a focus on innovation, leaner cost structure, and push into automation, we are optimistic about the CFT team's ability to generate sustainable value creation by driving and leveraging solid growth at healthy incremental margins; and, ultimately, delivering on its Vision 2025 goals.

In the third quarter, we also maintained our balanced approach to capital deployment. We increased our dividend for the 45th consecutive year, returning $28.2 million to shareholders in the form of dividends in the third quarter. While closing on the acquisition of Henry, the largest acquisition in Carlisle's history, we also opportunistically repurchased 124 thousand shares for $25 million, bringing our year-to-date total share repurchases through the third quarter to 1.7 million shares for $291 million.

Finally, we had a successful debt issuance of $850 million of senior notes at a weighted average coupon of 1.6%, which lowered Carlisle's cost of debt from 3.35% to 2.85%.

With all of our businesses trending positively, and leveraging the clarity of mission that Vision 2025 provides us, Carlisle is well positioned for continued acceleration through the recovery and beyond. In closing, I want to once again express my gratitude to Carlisle's dedicated employees - neither the recovery from 2020 nor achieving Vision 2025 would be possible without their commitment and perseverance."

Third Quarter 2021

Acquired revenues contributed a total of 4.8% in the quarter. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a positive 0.3% impact on revenues.

Operating income for the third quarter of $166.5 million increased 7.6% from $154.8 million in the third quarter of 2020.

Third Quarter 2021 Segment Highlights

Carlisle Construction Materials (CCM)

Non-GAAP Disclosure

This press release also contains certain financial measures such as adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, organic revenue and free cash flow which are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Management believes that adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and organic revenue are useful to investors because they allow for comparison to Carlisle’s and its segments' performance in prior periods without the effect of items that, by their nature, tend to obscure core operating results due to potential variability across periods based on the timing, frequency and magnitude of such items. Management also believes free cash flow is useful to investors as an additional way of viewing Carlisle's liquidity and provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Carlisle's cash flows. As a result, management believes that these measures enhance the ability of investors to analyze trends in Carlisle’s business and evaluate Carlisle’s performance relative to peer companies. Reconciliations of these measures to amounts reported in Carlisle's consolidated financial statements are in the supplemental schedules of this press release.
