Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, including with respect to the Company’s expectations for its performance in 2023 or relating to the Company’s strategic review are forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from the expectations the Company describes in its forward-looking statements. Substantial reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because they involve unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond the control of CIRCOR. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to the inability to achieve expected results in pricing and cost out actions and the related impact on margins and cash flow; supply chain disruptions; the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; the remediation of the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or other potential weaknesses of which the Company is not currently aware or which have not been detected; the timing and outcome, if any, of the Company’s strategic alternatives review; the uncertainty associated with the current worldwide economic conditions and the continuing impact on economic and financial conditions in the United States and around the world, including as a result of COVID-19, rising inflation, increasing interest rates, increasing recessionary risks, systemic pressures in the banking system, natural disasters, military conflicts, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, terrorist attacks and other similar matters, and the risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Before making any investment decisions regarding CIRCOR, the Company strongly advises you to read the section entitled “Risk Factors” in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which can be accessed under the “Investors” link on the Company’s website at www.circor.com. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this presentation, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. 2


 
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Within this presentation, the Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures organic revenue, adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, compliance adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income (or AOI), adjusted operating margin (or AOI%), adjusted earnings per share, net debt, net leverage, compliance leverage and adjusted free cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in our financial and operating decision making because we believe they reflect our ongoing business and facilitate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating CIRCOR’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does if they so choose. These non-GAAP financial measures also allow investors and others to compare CIRCOR’s current financial results with CIRCOR’s past financial results in a consistent manner. Non-GAAP reconciliations can be found in the Appendix. Specifically: • We exclude the FX impact on revenue as FX can materially change. We believe the FX impact are not indicative to our normal operating revenue. • We exclude costs and tax effects associated with special and restructuring activities, such as reducing overhead and consolidating facilities. We believe that the costs related to special and restructuring activities are not indicative of our normal operating costs. • We exclude certain acquisition-related costs, including significant transaction costs and amortization of inventory and fixed-asset step-ups and the related tax effects. We exclude these costs because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs. • We exclude the expense and tax effects associated with the non-cash amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have lives up to 25 years. Exclusion of the non-cash amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. • We exclude certain gains/losses and related tax effects, which are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, and that we believe are not indicative of our normal operating gains and losses. For example, we exclude gains/losses from items such as the sale of a business, significant litigation-related matters and lump-sum pension plan settlements. • We exclude the results of discontinued operations. We exclude goodwill impairment charges. We exclude these costs because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs. • Due to the significance of recently sold or exited businesses and to provide a comparison of changes in our revenue and orders (an operating measure), we also discuss these changes on an “organic” basis. Organic is calculated assuming the divestitures and/or exited businesses completed prior to April 2, 2023, were completed on January 1, 2022, and excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Please refer to the Appendix of this presentation for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. 3

INDUSTRIAL AEROSPACE & DEFENSE Appendix


 
1Q’23 Organic Orders and Revenue vs. PY 17 ($ in thousands) Orders, an operating measure, is defined as a legally binding agreement from an authorized individual at a customer requesting CIRCOR to provide goods and/or services at a fixed or determinable price and CIRCOR is capable of providing such goods and services, when the terms and conditions are firm enough to assure subsequent payment by the customer. The Company uses the measure of Orders to provide a leading indicator of current business demand from customers for products and services. Due to the significance of recently sold or exited businesses and to provide a comparison of changes in orders, we also discuss these changes on an “organic” basis. Organic is calculated assuming the divestitures and/or exited businesses completed prior to April 2, 2023, were completed on January 1, 2022, and excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Organic Revenue is a non-GAAP measure.

Reconciliation of Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures 24 This presentation contains forward-looking estimates of organic revenue growth, AOI, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS for Q2 and full year 2023. We provide these non-GAAP measures to investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth on slide 3 (“Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures”)) that we provide to investors on a historical basis. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward-looking estimate of Q2 and full year 2023 organic revenue growth, AOI, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS to a forward-looking estimate of Q2 and full year 2023 GAAP revenue growth, GAAP operating income (loss), GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP EPS or forward-looking estimates of such composite GAAP measures, because certain information needed to make a reasonable forward-looking estimate of such non-GAAP measures for Q2 and full year 2023 is difficult to predict and estimate and is often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control. Such events may include unanticipated changes in currency exchange rates, our GAAP effective tax rate, unanticipated gains or losses, and other unanticipated non-recurring or non-core items not reflective of ongoing operations, each of which may be significant. As a result, such reconciliations and forward-looking estimate of composite GAAP measures have been excluded from this presentation in reliance upon applicable SEC staff guidance. Our forward-looking estimates of both GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our financial performance may differ materially from our actual results and should not be relied upon as statements of fact.
