Acquisition adjusted fixed currency sales -8%. The Texas freeze is estimated to have had a -1pp impact on sales growth. ▪ Strong growth in the Healthcare & Life Sciences segment was more than offset by a modest Industrial segment decrease and narrowed declines in the Institutional & Specialty and Other segments as markets continued to improve and picked up toward the end of the quarter.  Operating Income: ▪ Reported operating income from continuing operations -21%. ▪ Adjusted fixed currency operating income from continuing operations -19%. The Texas freeze is estimated to have had a -9pp impact on operating income growth. ▪ Strong performances in the Healthcare & Life Sciences, Other and Industrial segments were offset by the COVID-19 impacted Institutional & Specialty segment.  Earnings: ▪ Reported diluted EPS from continuing operations $0.67, -33%. ▪ Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations, excluding special gains and charges and discrete tax items, were $0.81, -18%. Adjusted diluted EPS included an estimated unfavorable $0.10 (-10pp) per share from the Texas freeze supply chain and customer disruptions. ▪ The adjusted EPS decrease reflects COVID-19 related volume declines, Texas freeze impacts and unfavorable business mix which together more than offset cost savings and favorable pricing. 1Q 2021 Overview

Trends generally improved towards the end of the quarter our large U.S. market. ▪ U.S. full service in-unit traffic average 45% of 2019 levels in 1Q. ▪ U.S. quickservice traffic averaged 98% of 2019 levels. ▪ Europe foodservice trends significantly more negative than U.S. ▪ Global lodging room demand improvement in the U.S. and China was partially offset by softer Europe trends. ▪ Sanitizing use in these facilities continued above 2019 levels and partially offset the traffic-related declines in other cleaning categories. 1Q 2021 Environment 4 Sources: NPD/Crest, Smith Travel.

We expect continued recovery in the full year 2021. Healthcare & Life Sciences segment sales are expected to moderately improve over the prior year’s very strong gain, with good year-on-year sales growth from our Industrial and Other segments. We look for our Institutional & Specialty segment to show a significant year-on-year increase for the full year as it progressively recovers toward its pre-COVID peak 2019 levels. We look for significant growth in the second quarter, primarily driven by strong year-on-year growth in our Institutional division as new business as well as improving trends in early- reopening U.S. states and continued U.S. vaccination progress more than offset a softer Europe and emerging market recovery. We expect robust consolidated gains in the second half, and continue to look for strong year-on-year growth for the full year 2021 with earnings per share above 2019 earnings per share from continuing operations excluding the estimated $0.15 per share impact of the Texas freeze.
