Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On March 2, 2020, Trane Technologies plc (the "Company") announced a realignment of its organizational structure to provide a simpler organizational model and business segment structure to enhance its regional go-to-market capabilities. This model is designed to create deep customer focus and relevance in markets around the world. As a result of these changes, information that the Company's chief operating decision maker (its chief executive officer) regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance changed. Therefore, effective with the reporting of first quarter 2020 results, the Company will report its financial performance based on the three reportable segments described below.

Americas

The Trane Technologies Americas segment innovates for customers in the North America and Latin America regions. The Americas segment encompasses commercial heating and cooling systems, building controls, and energy services and solutions; residential heating and cooling; and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.

Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA")

The Trane Technologies EMEA segment innovates for customers in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa region. The EMEA segment encompasses heating and cooling systems, services and solutions for commercial buildings, and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.

Asia Pacific

The Trane Technologies Asia Pacific segment innovates for customers throughout the Asia Pacific region and India. The Asia Pacific segment encompasses heating and cooling systems, services and solutions for commercial buildings and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.

Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K provides a summary of the Company's historical segment results recast for the new reporting structure. The recast historical segment results exclude the results of the Company's Industrial segment businesses, which were separated from the Company's remaining operations through the spin-off of Ingersoll-Rand U.S. Holdco, Inc. ("Ingersoll-Rand Industrial") to shareholders of record as of February 24, 2020 on a pro rata basis and merger of Ingersoll-Rand Industrial with a wholly owned subsidiary of Ingersoll Rand Inc. (formerly known as Gardner Denver Holdings, Inc.) in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished in order to provide the financial community with historical financial information that is presented on a basis consistent with the new reporting structure.

The information in Item 7.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K, Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference.
