Frequently Asked Questions

Revenue growth in 2022 was primarily driven by inflation-based price increases, strong end-customer demand across all reportable segments (Americas, EMEA, Asia Pacific), and incremental revenues from acquisitions, notably AL-KO Air Technology. Pricing and volume increases were experienced across all segments.

The company faced significant challenges from direct material, freight, and other inflationary pressures, as well as unfavorable impacts to productivity arising from supply chain, freight, and logistics challenges. These factors led to a decrease in gross profit margin to 31.0% in 2022 from 31.6% in 2021, despite efforts to offset these costs through pricing.

Trane Technologies is proactively managing global supply chain and resource constraints by working closely with suppliers, customers, and logistics providers. They are also implementing inflation-based price increases to mitigate the impact of higher material and freight costs on their profitability.

The company's order backlog at the end of 2022 was $6,883.1 million, a substantial increase from the prior year, indicating strong future demand. However, management notes that industry-wide supply chain and resource constraints are impacting production and shipment capabilities, which could affect the timing of revenue recognition.
