Commentary:
“This quarter’s results once again demonstrate our commitment to serving our customers extremely well while making their jobs easier and safer. Our investments in sales, marketing, and research and development are paying off as we’ve now generated organic sales growth of at least six percent in each of the last eight quarters and our reinvigorated innovative spirit has set the stage for continued future growth,” said Brady’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Russell R. Shaller. “Our Identification Solutions segment is performing well, with a robust pipeline of innovative new products set to launch in the second half of this fiscal year. In our Workplace Safety segment, we are seeing the benefits from the actions we took to simplify our product offering, to streamline our cost structure, and to improve our price competitiveness, resulting in another quarter of organic sales growth and increased segment profit. This quarter, we announced the reorganization of Brady around two new operating segments which will be effective next quarter: Americas & Asia and Europe & Australia. This reorganization allows us to further integrate our businesses, support continued growth through the application of our best go-to-market strategies in key geographies, facilitate new product development in our recent acquisitions, and further simplify our global businesses. While we recognize that the macro-economy is uncertain and that foreign currency translation is creating challenges, we continue to experience robust demand and we will continue to invest in our critical organic growth initiatives throughout the economic cycle, which we believe positions us for future success.”
“Brady is in an enviable financial position. This quarter, we grew organic sales by 6.3 percent, we grew GAAP diluted earnings per share by 16.9 percent, and cash flow from operating activities was a robust $29.4 million. For the first half of this fiscal year, our cash flow from operating activities was more than double what it was in the first half of last year,” said Brady’s Chief Financial Officer, Aaron Pearce. “We also returned $22.8 million to our shareholders in the form of dividends and repurchased another $17.9 million worth of shares in the first half of this fiscal year. We are in a net cash position of $30.9 million at January 31, 2023. We will remain disciplined with capital allocation by fully funding our organic investments, returning funds to our shareholders in the form of dividends, being opportunistic with share buybacks and executing acquisitions that increase our growth trajectory in a highly disciplined manner. We are confident that this disciplined approach to capital allocation will serve our shareholders well over the long term.”

In this news release, statements that are not reported financial results or other historic information are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company's future financial position, business strategy, targets, projected sales, costs, income, capital expenditures, debt levels and cash flows, and plans and objectives of management for future operations.
The use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “project,” “plan” or similar terminology are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond Brady’s control, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For Brady, uncertainties arise from: increased cost of raw materials, labor and freight as well as raw material shortages and supply chain disruptions; decreased demand for our products; our ability to compete effectively or to successfully execute our strategy; our ability to develop technologically advanced products that meet customer demands; Brady’s ability to identify, integrate, and grow acquired companies, and to manage contingent liabilities from divested businesses; adverse impacts of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic or other pandemics; difficulties in protecting our websites, networks, and systems against security breaches; risks associated with the loss of key employees; extensive regulations by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental and self-regulatory entities; litigation, including product liability claims; foreign currency fluctuations; potential write-offs of goodwill and other intangible assets; changes in tax legislation and tax rates; differing interests of voting and non-voting shareholders; numerous other matters of national, regional and global scale, including major public health crises and government responses thereto and those of a political, economic, business, competitive, and regulatory nature contained from time to time in Brady’s U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, those factors listed in the “Risk Factors” section within Item 1A of Part I of Brady’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2022.
These uncertainties may cause Brady's actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in its forward-looking statements. Brady does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

| Brady is presenting the non-GAAP measure, "Diluted EPS Excluding Certain Items." This is not a calculation based upon GAAP. The amounts included in this non-GAAP measure are derived from amounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We do not view these items to be part of our ongoing results. We believe this measure provides an important perspective of underlying business trends and results and provides a more comparable measure from year to year. The table below provides a reconciliation of the GAAP measure of Net income per Class A Nonvoting Common Share to the non-GAAP measure of Diluted EPS Excluding Certain Items: | |||||||||||||||
