Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting is set forth in Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young, LLP, has audited the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026. See “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm,” which appears in Exhibit 99.1.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In April 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of GOJO. The Company is in the process of integrating GOJO into its operations and internal control processes. Management has excluded GOJO from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026 in accordance with SEC guidance permitting management to exclude recently acquired businesses from management's report on internal control over financial reporting, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. GOJO's internal control over financial reporting and related processes have not been integrated into the Company’s existing systems and internal control over financial reporting .

During the first fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Company began transitioning core U.S. operations to the new ERP system as part of the continuing phased implementation of its technology transformation. This transition was completed in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026. As a result of this transition, we have made changes to our internal control over financial reporting to address processes and procedures impacted by the ERP system implementation.

Other than the ERP system implementation noted above, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
