Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2026

  1. General

Basis of Presentation

AAON, Inc., is a Nevada corporation doing business as The Aaon Group, which was incorporated on August 18, 1987. Our operating subsidiaries include AAON, Inc. (“AAON Oklahoma”), an Oklahoma corporation, AAON Coil Products, Inc. (“AAON Coil Products”), a Texas corporation, and BASX, Inc. (“BASX”) an Oregon corporation (collectively, the “Company”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of AAON, Inc. and our operating subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Our financial statements consolidate all of our affiliated entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. Because we hold certain rights that give us the power to direct the activities ofeight variable interest entities (“VIEs”) (Note 18) that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance, combined with a variable interest that gives us the right to receive potentially significant benefits or the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses, we have a controlling financial interest in those VIEs.

These financial statements have not been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, except that the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2025, is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The financial statements reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Certain disclosures have been condensed in or omitted from these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

We are engaged in the engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of premium air conditioning and heating equipment consisting of standard, semi-custom, and custom rooftop units, data centers cooling solutions, cleanroom systems, packaged outdoor mechanical rooms, air handling units, makeup air units, energy recovery units, condensing units, geothermal/water-source heat pumps, coils, and controls.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because these estimates and assumptions require significant judgment, actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. We reevaluate our estimates and assumptions as needed, but at a minimum on a quarterly basis. The most significant estimates include, but are not limited to, inventory valuation, inventory reserves, warranty accrual, income taxes, useful lives of property, plant, and equipment, estimated future use of leased property, share-based compensation, revenue percentage of completion and estimated costs to complete. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Accounting Policies

A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting policies and management estimates is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of the items. The carrying amount of the Company’s debt, and other payables, approximates their fair values either due to their short-term nature, the variable rates associated with the debt or based on current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar characteristics.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based upon assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. We use the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes valuation technique inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including (i) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and (iv) inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Items categorized in Level 3 include the estimated fair values of intangible assets, contingent consideration, and goodwill acquired in a business combination.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

Software Development Costs

We capitalize costs incurred to purchase or develop software for internal use. Internal-use software development costs are capitalized during the application development stage. These capitalized costs are reflected in intangible assets, net and goodwill on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. The useful life of our internal-use software development costs is generallyone toten years.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

Our definite-lived intangible assets include customer relationships, internal-use software and other intellectual property acquired in business combinations or asset acquisition. We amortize our definite-lived intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We evaluate the carrying value of our amortizable intangible assets for potential impairment when events and circumstances warrant such a review.

Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Intellectual property6 - 30 years
Customer relationships14 years

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired businesses over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill at September 30, 2026, is expected to be tax deductible in future periods. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trademarks and trade names. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead are evaluated for impairment at least annually. We perform our annual assessment of impairment during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year, and more frequently if circumstances warrant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed or included within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Aftermarket part sales (included in the AAON Product sales above) were $26.9 million and $67.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $24.9 million and $60.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The Company recognizes revenue, presented net of sales tax, when it satisfies the performance obligation in its contracts. For certain manufactured equipment contracts and parts sales, the primary performance obligation in such a contract is delivery of the requested manufactured equipment. We satisfy the performance obligation when the control is passed to the customer, generally at time of shipment. Final sales prices are fixed based on purchase orders. Sales allowances and customer incentives are treated as reductions to sales and are provided for based on historical experiences and current estimates.

Due to the highly customized nature of many of the Company’s products and each product not having an alternative use to the Company without significant costs to the Company, the Company recognizes revenue over time as progress is made toward satisfying the performance obligations of each contract. The Company has formal cancellation policies and generally does not accept returns on these units. As a result, many of the Company’s products do not have an alternative use and have an enforceable right to payment, including a reasonable profit margin, and therefore, for these products, we recognize revenue over the time it takes to produce the unit.

Contract costs include direct materials, direct labor, installation, freight and delivery, commissions and royalties. Other costs not related to contract performance, such as indirect labor and materials, small tools and supplies, operating expenses, field rework and back charges are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on contracts in progress are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income and are estimated and recognized by the Company throughout the life of the contract. The aggregate of costs incurred, and income recognized on uncompleted contracts in excess of billings is shown as a contract asset within our consolidated balance sheets, and the aggregate of billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of related costs incurred and income recognized is shown as a contract liability within our consolidated balance sheets.

Historically, sales of our AAON products are moderately seasonal with the peak period being May-October of each year due to timing of construction projects being directly related to warmer weather.

Product Warranties

A provision is made for the estimated cost of maintaining product warranties to customers at the time the product is sold based upon historical claims experience by product line. The Company records a liability and an expense for estimated future warranty claims based upon historical experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims. Changes in the estimated amounts recognized in prior years are recorded as an adjustment to the liability and expense in the current year.

The Company also sells extended warranties on parts for various lengths of time ranging fromsix months to 10 years. Revenue for these separately priced warranties is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the separately priced warranty period.

Representatives and Third-Party Products

We are responsible for billings and collections resulting from all sales transactions, including those initiated by our independent manufacturer representatives (“Representatives”). Representatives are national companies that are in the business of providing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) units and other related products and services to customers. The end user customer orders a bundled group of products and services from the Representative and expects the Representative to fulfill the order. These other related products and services may include controls purchased from another manufacturer to operate the unit, start-up services, and curbs for supporting the unit (“Third-Party Products”). All are associated with the purchase of an HVAC unit but may be provided by the Representative or another third party. Only after the specifications are agreed to by the Representative and the customer, and the decision is made to use an AAON HVAC unit, will we receive notice of the order. We establish the amount we must receive for our HVAC unit (“minimum sales price”), but do not control the total order price that is negotiated by the Representative with the end user customer. The Representatives submit the total order price to us for invoicing and collection. The total order price includes our minimum sales price and an additional amount which may include both the Representatives’ fee and amounts due for additional products and services required by the customer. The Company is considered the principal for the equipment we design and manufacture and records that revenue gross. The Company has no control over the Third-Party Products to the end customer and the Company is under no obligation related to the Third-Party Products. Amounts related to Third-Party Products are not recognized as revenue but are recorded as a liability and are included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Representatives’ fee and Third-Party Products amounts (“Due to Representatives”) are paid only after all amounts associated with the order are collected from the customer. The amount of payments to our Representatives were $13.4 million and $48.7 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $11.1 million and $35.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

Revenue recognized in the reporting period that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $80.0 million and $11.8 million, respectively.

Typically, we expect to satisfy performance obligations relating to contracts within one year or less, however, timing of performance obligations can vary from timing of payment, production scheduling and timing of customer installation requirements. Increases in contract assets are mainly due to the increased production and increased demand for our BASX-branded products.

  1. Leases

The Company leases certain administrative, manufacturing and warehousing facilities and equipment under operating lease agreements. As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s operating leases have remaining lease terms through November 2033 and a weighted average remaining term of 5.6. The discount rates used to calculate the present value of lease payments range from 1.3% to 6.6%.

  1. Debt

On December 16, 2024, we entered into the Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated November 24, 2021, to include an $80.0 million term loan payable in equal monthly installments, plus interest, over 60 months, expiring December 16, 2029. The agreement provided for a $200.0 million revolving credit facility and an option to increase the maximum borrowings to $300.0 million. In April 2025, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated November 24, 2021, to increase our available Revolver to $230.0 million, an increase of $30.0 million, to fund our additional working capital needs.

On May 29, 2025, we entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated November 24, 2021, whereby the remaining balance of the term loan, approximately $72.0 million, was rolled into the amended Revolving Loan (“Amended Revolver”), the capacity of which was increased to $500.0 million from $230.0 million.

On December 29, 2025, we entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (as amended, “Amended Loan Agreement”). The terms of the Amendment increased the amount of the borrowing capacity on the Amended Revolver to $600.0 million from $500.0 million by exercising the $100.0 million accordion feature. The Amended Revolver is prepayable without penalty and expires on May 27, 2030.

Less: Revolver borrowings outstanding386,709398,320
Less: Standby letters of credit654654
Borrowings available under the Revolver$212,637$201,026

Interest Rates

Any outstanding loans under the Revolver bear interest at the daily compounded secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable margin, with a 10-basis point credit spread adjustment.

Applicable margin, ranging from 1.25% -1.75%, is determined quarterly based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company is also subject to letter of credit fees, ranging from 1.25% -1.75%, and a commitment fee, ranging from 0.10% -0.20%. The applicable fee percentage is determined quarterly based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

Fees associated with the unused portion of the committed amount are included in interest expense on our consolidated statements of income and were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Weighted average interest rate of our borrowings outstanding is as follows:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,
2026202520262025
Revolver5.3%5.8%5.3%5.7%

If SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition, as defined by the Amended Loan Agreement, any outstanding effected loans will be deemed to have been converted into alternative base rate (“ABR”) loans. ABR loans would bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50%, or (c) daily simple SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.00%. As of December 16, 2024, as defined by the Amended Loan Agreement, if the SOFR cannot be determined any outstanding balance will bear interest at the Prime Rate in effect on such day.

Debt Covenants

At September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with our financial covenants as defined by the Amended Loan Agreement. These covenants included a financial covenant that we meet certain parameters related to our leverage ratio. At September 30, 2026, our leverage ratio was 1.0 to 1.0, which meets the requirement of not being above 3 to 1.

  1. Income Taxes

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

(in thousands)
Current Federal$12,898$(14,010)$20,901$(6,675)

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate before the provision for income taxes.

Rate Reconciliation

The following table reconciles the U.S federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025:

Effective tax rate25,27226.9%7,66019.9%44,62020.6%14,86916.4%

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the excess tax benefits of stock transactions and state taxes. Pretax income is all domestic and there are no foreign income effects. State taxes in Oregon for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and state taxes in Oregon, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Virginia for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, contributed to the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in the state and local income tax category.

The Company’s estimated annual 2026 effective tax rate, excluding discrete events, is approximately 25.7%. We file income tax returns in the U.S., state and foreign income tax jurisdictions. We are subject to U.S. income tax examinations for the tax years 2023 to present, and to non-U.S. income tax examinations for the tax years 2022 to present. In addition, we are subject to state and local income tax examinations for tax years 2022 to present. The Company continues to evaluate its need to file returns in various state jurisdictions. Any interest or penalties would be recognized as a component of income tax expense.

Realization of deferred tax assets, including the associated credit carryforwards, is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate tax jurisdiction. We believe that it is more likely than not that we may not realize the benefit of our Tennessee investment tax credit carryforward and, accordingly, have established a valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset.

Tax Law Changes

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, introducing significant amendments to the Internal Revenue Code. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognized the tax effects of the enacted legislation in the period that includes the enactment date.

Impact of Tax Law Changes

The Company measured the effects of the tax law change using the enactment date approach, with a measurement date of June 30, 2025, from the Q2 2025 tax provision calculation as the closest date of measurement for deferred and current values. The measurement resulted in an increase in deferred tax liabilities of $35.4 million, a decrease in current income tax payable of $36.2 million, and an increase in provision expense of $0.8 million due to the bonus depreciation change effect on Texas Franchise tax and the reduced R&D Tax Credit allowed with the §174A change. Significant provisions of OBBBA affecting the Company include:

100% Bonus Depreciation: Effective for qualified property acquired after January 19, 2025, including manufacturing equipment, which reverses the previously scheduled phase-down of the bonus depreciation deduction to 40% for 2025 under prior law. This provision increased deferred tax liabilities by $7.0 million, decreased current payable by $7.0 million, and increased provision expense due to the accelerated tax deductions for capital expenditures made in 2025 and the small provision effect from the change in Texas Franchise Tax and state bonus depreciation. This adjustment also decreased the deferred tax liability for the UNICAP inventory calculation by $0.6 million, offset against current income tax payable.

Permanent Expensing of Domestic R&E Costs (Section 174A): Retroactive to January 1, 2025, resulting in decreased deferred tax assets due to immediate tax deductibility of qualified domestic R&E costs as incurred. This provision decreased deferred tax assets by $3.4 million, decreased current payables by $4.2 million, and increased provision expense by $0.8 million due to the reduction in the R&D tax credit (the Company will revert to the reduced credit method for calculation of the tax credit under the new law).

Accelerated Deduction of Unamortized Domestic R&E Cost Originally Capitalized in Tax Years 2022, 2023, and 2024 (Section 174A): The Company has elected to deduct the unamortized amounts of Section 174 Costs as of December 31, 2024, fully in tax year 2025, which decreased deferred tax assets and current payables by $25.5 million.

The impact of OBBBA enactment increased the Company’s effective tax rate by 0.7% for the year ended December 31, 2025. Effective January 1, 2026, the OBBBA enacted a 1% charitable contribution floor. The Company has included this permanent difference in the Q1 tax provision calculation, and the change increased the Company’s effective tax rate by 0.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2026.

Net Operating Loss

Due to the favorable changes in tax law related to the OBBBA, as of December 31, 2025, the Company generated Federal and State net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $57.0 million and $22.5 million, respectively. The Federal NOLs have an indefinite carryforward period but are limited to offsetting 80% of taxable income in any given year under current tax law. The State NOLs have varying expiration dates.

The Company recorded deferred tax assets of $12.0 million (Federal) and $1.1 million (State) related to these NOL carryforwards as of December 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2026, the federal and state deferred tax asset balances have been fully utilized.

  1. Share-Based Compensation

On May 22, 2007, our stockholders adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, “2007 Plan”) which provided an additional 5.0 million shares that could be granted in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance units, and performance awards. Under the 2007 Plan, the exercise price of shares granted may not be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of the grant.

On May 24, 2016, our stockholders adopted the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”) which provides for approximately 13.4 million shares, comprised of 5.1 million new shares provided for under the 2016 Plan, approximately 0.6 million shares that were available for issuance under the previous 2007 Plan that are now authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan, approximately 3.9 million shares that were approved by the stockholders on May 15, 2018, and an additional 3.8 million shares that were approved by the stockholders on May 12, 2020.

On May 21, 2024, our stockholders adopted the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2024 Plan”) which provides for approximately 2.7 million new shares and approximately 3.7 million shares that were issued and outstanding under the 2016 Plan (as of May 21, 2024) that are now authorized for issuance under the 2024 Plan. The 3.7 million shares issued and outstanding under the 2016 Plan are only eligible for issuance under the 2024 Plan upon forfeiture, expiration, or cancellation.

Under the 2024 Plan and previously under the 2016 Plan (collectively, the “LTIP Plans”), shares can be granted in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance awards, dividend equivalent rights, and other awards. Under the LTIP Plans, the exercise price of shares granted may not be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of the grant. The LTIP Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or such other committee of the Board of Directors as is designated by the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). Membership on the Committee is limited to independent directors. The Committee may delegate certain duties to one or more officers of the Company as provided in the LTIP Plans. The Committee determines the persons to whom awards are to be made, determines the type, size and terms of awards, interprets the LTIP Plans, establishes and revises rules and regulations relating to the LTIP Plans and makes any other determinations that it is necessary for the administration of the LTIP Plans.

Options

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the stock options granted on the original grant date for expense recognition purposes for options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 using a Black Scholes-Merton Model:

Nine Months Ended September 30,

1 Senior Leadership Team (“SLT”) consists of officers and key members of management.

The expected term of the options is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. Volatility is based on historical volatility of our stock over time periods equal to the expected life at grant date.

The total pre-tax compensation cost related to unvested stock options not yet recognized as of September 30, 2026, is $21.1 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, was $55.3 million and $26.2 million, respectively. The cash received from options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, was $29.6 million and $13.3 million, respectively. The impact of these cash receipts is included in financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.

Restricted Stock

The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the fair market value of AAON common stock on the respective grant dates, reduced for the present value of dividends. At September 30, 2026, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards was approximately $11.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

A summary of the unvested restricted stock awards is as follows:

Forfeited(8,332)85.92
Unvested at September 30, 2026186,293$90.75

PSUs

We have awarded PSUs to certain officers and employees under our LTIP Plans. Unlike our restricted stock awards, these PSUs are not considered legally outstanding and do not accrue dividends during the vesting period. These PSUs vest based on the level of achievement with respect to the Company's total shareholder return (“TSR”) benchmarked against similar companies included in the capital goods sector of the S&P 400 and S&P 600 building products industry. The TSR measurement period isthree years. At the end of the measurement period, each award will be converted into AAON common stock at 0% to 200% of the PSUs held, depending on overall TSR as compared to the S&P 400 and S&P 600 building products industry.

The total pre-tax compensation cost related to unvested PSUs not yet recognized as of September 30, 2026, is $7.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years.

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the PSUs granted on the original grant date for expense recognition purposes for PSUs granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, using a Monte Carlo Model:

Nine Months Ended September 30,

The expected term of the PSUs is based on their remaining performance period. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. Volatility is based on historical volatility of our stock over time periods equal to the expected life at grant date.

  1. Employee Benefits

Defined Contribution Plan - 401(k)

We sponsor a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”). Eligible employees may make contributions in accordance with the Plan and IRS guidelines.

  1. Earnings Per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share assumes the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities and is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive common shares consist primarily of stock options and restricted stock awards.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

  1. New Markets Tax Credit

2019 New Markets Tax Credit

On October 24, 2019, the Company entered into a transaction with a subsidiary of an unrelated third-party financial institution (the “2019 Investor”) and a certified Community Development Entity under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit (“2019 NMTC”) program pursuant to Section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, related to an investment in plant and equipment to facilitate the expansion of our Longview, Texas manufacturing operations (the “2019 Project”). In connection with the 2019 NMTC transaction, the Company received a $23.0 million NMTC allocation for the Project and secured low-interest financing and the potential for future debt forgiveness related to the 2019 Project.

Upon closing of the 2019 NMTC transaction, the Company provided an aggregate of approximately $15.9 million to the 2019 Investor, in the form of a loan receivable, with a term of 25 years, bearing an interest rate of 1.0%. This $15.9 million in proceeds plus capital contributed from the 2019 Investor was used to make an aggregate $22.5 million loan to a subsidiary of the Company. This financing arrangement is secured by equipment at the Company’s Longview, Texas facilities and a guarantee from the Company, including an unconditional guarantee of the NMTCs. The Company’sseven-year compliance period ends in 2026, at which time the Company expects the put/call feature of the transaction to be exercised, forgiving a portion of the debt.

This transaction also includes a put/call feature either of which can be exercised at the end of theseven-year compliance period. The 2019 Investor may exercise its put option, or the Company can exercise the call, both of which could serve to trigger forgiveness of a portion of the debt. The 2019 Investor’s interest of $7.5 million is recorded as short-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurred approximately $0.3 million of debt issuance costs related to the above transactions, which are being amortized over the life of the transaction.

On October 27, 2026, following the completion of the applicable seven-year compliance period, the Company completed the unwind of its 2019 NMTC transaction. As a result of the unwind, the related NMTC financing structure was terminated. The Company is expected to have a noncash gain of approximately $7.0 million related to the unwind in the fourth quarter.

This transaction also includes a put/call feature either of which can be exercised at the end of theseven-year compliance period. The 2023 Investor may exercise its put option, or the Company can exercise the call, both of which could serve to trigger forgiveness of a portion of the debt.

The Company incurred approximately $0.4 million of debt issuance costs related to the above transactions, which are being amortized over the life of the transaction.

The Company incurred approximately $0.4 million of debt issuance costs related to the above transactions, which are being amortized over the life of the transaction.

2026 New Markets Tax Credit

On April 16, 2026, the Company entered into a transaction with a subsidiary of an unrelated third-party financial institution (the “2026 Investor”) and a certified Community Development Entity under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit (“2026 NMTC”) program pursuant to Section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, related to an investment in our Memphis, TN facility. In connection with the 2026 NMTC transaction, the Company received a $50.5 million NMTC allocation for the 2026 Project and secured low interest financing and the potential for future debt forgiveness related to the 2026 Project.

Upon closing of the 2026 NMTC transaction, the Company provided an aggregate of approximately $35.2 million to the 2026 Investor, in the form of a loan receivable, with a term of 27 years, bearing an interest rate of 1.2%. This $35.2 million in proceeds plus capital contributed from the 2026 Investor was used to make an aggregate $48.2 million loan to a subsidiary of the Company. This financing arrangement is secured by a guarantee from the Company, including an unconditional guarantee of the NMTCs. The net proceeds from the closing of the 2026 NMTC were $12.9 million.

This transaction also includes a put/call feature that either of which can be exercised at the end of theseven-year compliance period. The Investor may exercise its put option, or the Company can exercise the call, both of which could serve to trigger forgiveness of a portion of the debt.

The 2019 Investor, 2023 Investor, 2024 Investor and 2026 Investor are each subject to 100 percent recapture of the 2019, 2023, 2024 and 2026 NMTC, respectively, it receives for a period ofseven years, as provided in the Internal Revenue Code and applicable U.S. Treasury regulations in the event that the financing facility of the Borrower under the transaction (AAON Coil Products for the 2019, 2023 and 2024 transaction and a portion of the business of AAON Oklahoma for the 2026 transaction) becomes ineligible for NMTC treatment per the Internal Revenue Code requirements. The Company is required to be in compliance with various regulations and contractual provisions that apply to the NMTC arrangements. Noncompliance with applicable requirements could result in the Investors' projected tax benefits not being realized and, therefore, require the Company to indemnify the Investor for any loss or recapture of the NMTC related to the financing until such time as the recapture provisions have expired under the applicable statute of limitations. The Company does not anticipate any credit recapture will be required in connection with any of these financing arrangements.

The Investors and their majority-owned community development entity are considered VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. Because the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, they have been included in the consolidated financial statements. There are no other assets, liabilities or transactions in these VIEs outside of the financing transactions executed as part of the 2019 NMTC, 2023 NMTC, 2024 NMTC arrangements or 2026 NMTC arrangements, respectively.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Other Matters

The Company is involved from time to time in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business arising from various matters, including alleged violations of contract, product liability, warranty, environmental, regulatory, personal injury, intellectual property, employment, tax and other laws. We closely monitor these claims and legal actions and frequently consult with our legal counsel to determine whether they may, when resolved, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows and we accrue and/or disclose loss contingencies as appropriate. We do not believe these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We are occasionally party to cancellable and occasionally non-cancellable, fixed-price contracts with major suppliers for the purchase of raw material and component parts. We expect to receive delivery of raw materials for use in our manufacturing operations. These contracts are not accounted for as derivative instruments because they meet the normal purchase and normal sales exemption. We had no material contractual purchase obligations as of September 30, 2026, except as noted below.

In 2023, the Company executed a five-year purchase commitment for refrigerants. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company made payments of $2.0 million and $6.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company made payments of $1.6 million and $3.8 million on this contract, respectively. Estimated minimum future payments are $1.0 million, and $7.7 million for 2026 and 2027, respectively.

In 2025, the Company executed three, one-year purchase commitments for raw materials. Estimated minimum future payments are $11.8 million for 2026. We had no other material contractual purchase obligations as of September 30, 2026.

  1. Segments

The Company has determined that it hasthree reportable segments for financial reporting purposes.

AAON Oklahoma: AAON Oklahoma engineers, manufactures, and sells highly configurable HVAC systems, designs and manufactures controls solutions, and sells aftermarket parts to customers through retail part stores and online. AAON Oklahoma includes operations at the Company’s manufacturing facilities in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Memphis, Tennessee; and Parkville, Missouri, as well as two retail locations, the Norman Asbjornson Innovation Center (“NAIC”), and the Gary D. Fields Customer Exploration Center.

The NAIC is a world-class research and development laboratory accredited by the Air Movement and Control Association International, Inc. ("AMCA"), where our products are continuously tested under extreme environmental conditions to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and value. The Gary D. Fields Customer Exploration Center showcases the engineering, design attributes, and premium build quality of our equipment alongside market alternatives.

AAON Coil Products: AAON Coil Products engineers and manufactures and sells semi-custom and custom HVAC systems as well as heating and cooling coils for use in HVAC systems, primarily for AAON Oklahoma, AAON Coil Products, and BASX. AAON Coil Products operates from our Longview, Texas manufacturing facility, which also produce BASX-branded products.

BASX: BASX engineers, manufactures, and sells a wide range of custom, high-performance cooling solutions for the rapidly growing hyperscale data center market; ventilation solutions for cleanroom environments in the biopharmaceutical, semiconductor, medical, and agricultural sectors; and highly customized air handlers and modular solutions for a variety of markets. BASX operates from our manufacturing facilities in Redmond, Oregon, with additional support from facilities in Memphis, Tennessee, and Longview, Texas.

The Company’s chief decision maker (“CODM”), our CEO, allocates resources and assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about the operating segment’s net sales, cost of sales, and gross profit directly attributable to our segments. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset or liability information.

Due to the integrated nature of our Company as well as the increasing production of both AAON and BASX- branded products across different segments, other costs and expenses, such as selling, general and administrative including corporate expense, are evaluated and resources allocated at a consolidated level.

The following table summarizes certain financial data related to our segments and significant segment expenses and other segment items regularly reviewed by our CODM. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company modified the reporting of sales of coils from AAON Coil Products to AAON Oklahoma to report at cost to be consistent with our other intercompany sales between segments. The revised methodology is intended to better reflect the manner in which the CODM evaluates segment performance and makes resource allocation decisions. As a result of this change, prior period segment results have been recast to conform to the current period presentation. The change did not affect consolidated net sales, cost of sales or gross profit. The cost of sales and gross profit amounts shown below are presented after elimination entries.
