VITALITY INDEX SUMMARY

Our Vitality Index is the percentage of new standard product revenues in the past five years, divided by the company's total revenues over the same period. New products exclude customized automation sales.

A Vitality Index is a common metric used to measure the effectiveness of a company's R&D innovation efforts. A high Vitality Index indicates that a company is effectively using its R&D resources to develop new products that are driving revenue growth. As a leader in welding technology and safety, our newest products are designed to make a positive impact, including automation products and enhanced software solutions. We consider our customers' sustainability goals in our product offerings, and strive to improve product material and energy efficiency, as well as safety. Many of our new products also deliver sustainability benefits. Several are highlighted below.
