COLUMBUS, Ohio July 29, 2026 - Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT) (“Vertiv”), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Vertiv reported second quarter net sales of $3,274 million, an increase of $636 million, or 24%, compared to second quarter 2025, reflecting 18% organic sales growth, a 5% contribution from acquisitions, and a 1% benefit from favorable foreign currency translation. Second quarter revenue reflected minor timing shifts, primarily due to temporary supply chain congestion and multi-phased project execution as deployments scale in size and complexity. The strong demand environment, growing pipelines, and the continual capacity expansions underway to serve customers give Vertiv the confidence to raise full year net sales guidance, along with increases to other associated financial metrics.
Second quarter operating profit of $638 million increased $196 million and adjusted operating profit of $738 million increased $249 million, up 44% and 51%, respectively, from second quarter 2025. Adjusted operating margin was 22.6%, up 410 basis points compared to second quarter 2025, driven by operational execution, continued strong productivity, and favorable price-cost, inclusive of tariff impacts and associated countermeasures.
"This quarter reflects the compounding effect of years of deliberate investment in technology, capacity, and customer partnerships," said Giordano Albertazzi, Vertiv's Chief Executive Officer. "Demand for AI and general compute continues to intensify and with each technology advancement, deployments grow more complex and more infrastructure-intensive. Our understanding of how power and thermal infrastructure responds at scale allows us to move at the speed our customers require. Growth at this pace demands both vision and operational precision - and Vertiv delivers on each, with the innovation to lead and the execution to scale efficiently. Our pipelines continue to strengthen as the market expands globally, giving us confidence to raise guidance and conviction in sustained, strong performance - this year and beyond."
“Vertiv continues to demonstrate what happens when a company is positioned at the center of a structural, long-duration shift in technology infrastructure and executes with rigor,” said Dave Cote, Vertiv's Executive Chairman. “We are moving at the speed of technology and transforming how customers build and scale critical infrastructure. We see a demand environment that continues to grow, and we continue to invest ahead of it - planting seeds now that we expect to compound for years to come.”
Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Liquidity
Net cash generated by operating activities in the second quarter was $1,100 million, and adjusted free cash flow was $925 million, increasing 241% and 234%, respectively, from second quarter 2025. Second quarter adjusted free cash flow was driven by higher adjusted operating profit, working capital efficiency, and lower cash interest, partially offset by higher cash taxes and increased capital expenditures to support growth investments.
Vertiv ended the second quarter with $5.6 billion of liquidity and a net cash position, further strengthening the balance sheet and providing significant strategic optionality. Capital expenditures for full year 2026 are expected to be approximately 4.0% of revenue, at the high end of the range. Vertiv is continuing to invest to support the strong demand it sees across its pipelines.
Updated Full Year and Third Quarter 2026 Guidance
The data center market continues to demonstrate strong momentum, with demand fundamentals reinforcing the durability of the growth environment. Vertiv is further accelerating capacity expansion and strategic investments to meet this demand and capture market share.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Financial information included in this release has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Vertiv has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this news release, as indicated above, that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Vertiv has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to third quarter and full year 2026 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For those reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
See “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this release for Vertiv’s reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement this news release, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the format of performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.
Vertiv’s non-GAAP financial measures include:
- Adjusted operating profit (loss), which represents operating profit (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, restructuring costs associated with the global restructuring program, contingent consideration and merger and acquisition costs;
- Adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating profit (loss) divided by net sales;
- Organic net sales growth, which represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate and acquisitions;
- Adjusted free cash flow, which represents net cash provided by (used for) operating activities adjusted to exclude capital expenditures and investments in capitalized software; and
- Adjusted diluted EPS, which represents diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, restructuring costs associated with the global restructuring program, contingent consideration and merger and acquisition costs, and the costs related to the March 3, 2026 repayment of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the associated interest rate swaps being settled.

(1)Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to FY 2026 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted operating margin and adjusted free cash flow, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For the same reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
