Fiscal 2026 Full Year Highlights:
“On behalf of the entire leadership team, thank you to our global team members for their outstanding contributions in fiscal year 2026,” said Jenny Parmentier, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We had our safest year ever, continued enhancing our portfolio of interconnected technologies through strategic acquisitions, and demonstrated operational excellence to deliver record results. We also returned value to shareholders with balanced capital deployment through share repurchases and a dividend increase of 11%.
“We are forecasting fiscal 2027 to be a record year for Parker supported by a broadening recovery in industrial markets and positive organic growth across all market verticals. Our proven ability to execute The Win Strategy™ and successfully integrate accretive acquisitions gives us the confidence to raise our adjusted segment operating margin target by 300 basis points to 30% by fiscal 2031, after surpassing our previous margin target of 27% this year. In addition, we remain committed to achieving 4 to 6% organic growth, 17% free cash flow margin and greater than 10% adjusted earnings per share growth by fiscal 2031. We are proud of what Parker achieved in fiscal 2026, and we are even more excited about the opportunities ahead.”

Note on Orders
The company reported orders for the quarter ending June 30, 2026, compared with the same quarter a year ago. All comparisons are at constant currency exchange rates, with the prior year quarter restated to the current-year rates, and exclude divestitures. Through fiscal year 2026, Diversified Industrial comparisons have been on 3-month average computations and Aerospace Systems comparisons have been on rolling 12-month average computations. Beginning in fiscal year 2027, all comparisons will be on rolling 12-month average computations.
Note on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains references to non-GAAP financial information including (a) adjusted net income; (b) adjusted earnings per share; (c) adjusted segment operating margin for Parker and by segment; (d) adjusted segment operating income for Parker and by segment; and (e) organic sales growth. These measures are presented to allow investors and the company to meaningfully evaluate changes in net income, earnings per share and segment operating margins on a comparable basis from period to period. Although these measures are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe that they are useful to an investor in evaluating Parker's performance or expected performance for the periods presented. Adjusted results for the current period exclude a reduction of cost of sales related to tariff refunds, which we believe is useful to investors because it reflects a discrete, non-operating item that is not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations and is not expected to recur. Comparable descriptions of record adjusted results in this release refer only to the period from the first quarter of FY2011 to the periods presented in this release. This period coincides with recast historical financial results provided in association with our FY2014 change in segment reporting. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures is included in the financial tables of this press release. The non-GAAP metrics included in our 5-year targets for fiscal year 2031 could not be reconciled without unreasonable effort and applicable reconciliations are not included in this press release.
