NORTHLINE HOSE & RUBBER
Customer Notification - Price Adjustment
Date: August 18, 2026

Dear Valued Distributor Partner,

Effective October 1, 2026, Northline Hose & Rubber will implement a price adjustment of 6.5% across
all hydraulic hose product families (100R1AT, 100R2AT, 100R12, 100R13, 100R17) and 4.0% across industrial
hose product families. This adjustment reflects sustained increases in synthetic rubber compounds, wire
reinforcement, energy, and freight.

In addition, a tariff-related surcharge of 3.0% will apply to all products manufactured at our
overseas facilities (identified by vendor part number prefix "N-") until further notice. The surcharge
will be reviewed quarterly and shown as a separate line on invoices.

Orders received and acknowledged prior to September 30, 2026 will be honored at current pricing
provided shipment occurs within 45 days of order acknowledgment. Blanket orders and open contracts
will be subject to the new pricing on releases shipped after October 1, 2026.

We value our partnership and remain committed to service, lead times, and product quality. Your
regional manager will reach out to review the impact on your active programs.

Sincerely,
T. Halvorsen
Vice President, Distribution Sales
Northline Hose & Rubber
