  • Second quarter 2018 reported net income was $115 million or $0.64 per share; Adjusted net income for the quarter was $131 million or $0.73 per share, up 24 percent versus the prior year period
  • Xylem delivered $1.3 billion in second quarter 2018 revenue, up 13 percent year-over-year including the impact of foreign exchange and acquisitions

RYE BROOK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 31, 2018-- Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues, today reported second quarter 2018 net income of $115 million, or $0.64 per share. Excluding the impact of restructuring, realignment and other special items, the Company delivered adjusted net income of $131 million or $0.73 per share in the quarter, a 24-percent increase over the prior year period. Second quarter revenue was $1.3 billion, up 13 percent including the impact of foreign exchange and acquisitions. Revenue for the quarter increased eight percent on an organic basis, driven by double-digit growth in utilities and continued strength in the industrial and commercial end markets across nearly all major geographies. Orders increased eight percent organically in the quarter. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin improved by 70 basis points year-over-year to 19.3 percent driven by volume leverage and savings from productivity initiatives. Reported operating margin in the quarter was 13 percent and adjusted operating margin increased 70 basis points year-over-year to 13.8 percent, including a 20-basis-point negative impact due to purchase accounting amortization.

Patrick Decker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Xylem, said, “Our second quarter results were very strong as our team continued to successfully execute on our strategy to generate consistent, profitable growth. Once again, we delivered high single-digit organic growth in revenue and orders globally, reflecting solid growth in each of the major geographic markets in which we operate. We are capturing share in the utilities end market where strong orders and backlog growth reflect continued momentum. As we indicated previously, we began implementing price increases earlier this year and I’m pleased with the traction we’ve gained in the marketplace. Our ability to successfully realize meaningful pricing impact, while continuing to execute our productivity initiatives, has and will continue to help us mitigate higher input costs from inflationary pressures and tariffs. Our strong operational performance in the first half of the year and continued momentum underpins our confidence in our updated expectations for the full year.”

Updated Full-year 2018 Outlook

Xylem now forecasts full-year 2018 revenue of approximately $5.2 billion, up more than 10 percent versus the prior year, including growth from previously announced acquisitions. On an organic basis, Xylem now anticipates revenue growth in the range of six to seven percent.

The Company has narrowed the range of its full-year 2018 earnings expectations. Reflected in this expectation is $0.04 of operational improvement driven by stronger operational execution and price realization offset by the impact of a strengthening dollar and divestiture of a non-core business. Full-year 2018 adjusted operating margin is now expected to be in the range of 13.9 to 14.2 percent, resulting in adjusted earnings per share of $2.85 to $2.95. This represents an increase of 19 to 23 percent from Xylem’s 2017 adjusted results. The Company’s adjusted earnings outlook excludes projected integration, restructuring and realignment costs, which now are expected to be approximately $45 million for the year. Excluding revenue, Xylem provides guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain amounts that would be included in GAAP earnings, such as discrete tax items, without unreasonable effort.

Second Quarter Segment Results

Water Infrastructure

Xylem’s Water Infrastructure segment consists of its portfolio of businesses serving clean water delivery, wastewater transport and treatment, and dewatering.

  • Second quarter 2018 revenue was $546 million, up 11 percent organically compared with second quarter 2017. This growth includes strong results in the utilities end market, particularly in the U.S., which was up 13 percent in the quarter. Large project deliveries along with strong aftermarket performance drove a nearly 30 percent year-over-year increase in the Company’s treatment business. The industrial end market also continued to show solid growth, reflecting solid global demand in dewatering.
  • Second quarter reported operating income for the segment was $92 million. Adjusted operating income for the segment, which excludes $5 million of restructuring and realignment costs, was $97 million, a 23-percent increase over the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Water Infrastructure segment increased 80 basis points to 20.1 percent. Reported operating margin for the segment was 16.8 percent, up 140 basis points versus the prior year, and adjusted operating margin increased 140 basis points to 17.8 percent. This growth reflects volume leverage, productivity gains and price realization, partially offset by inflation and a higher mix of treatment project deliveries.

Applied Water

Xylem’s Applied Water segment consists of its portfolio of businesses in residential and commercial building services, and industrial applications.

  • Second quarter 2018 Applied Water revenue was $388 million, a six-percent increase organically year-over-year. This performance reflects solid growth in the U.S. in both the industrial and commercial sectors, and double-digit growth in Emerging Markets. Increased project business as well as continued commercial growth drove a double-digit increase in China.
  • Second quarter reported operating income for the segment was $61 million and adjusted operating income, which excludes $2 million of restructuring and realignment costs, was $63 million, a 19-percent increase over the comparable period last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Applied Water segment was 18 percent, an increase of 110 basis points over the prior year. Reported operating margin was 15.7 percent, up 240 basis points year-over-year, and adjusted operating margin increased 150 basis points to 16.2 percent as volume leverage, productivity initiatives and price realization more than offset inflation and unfavorable mix.

Measurement & Control Solutions

Xylem’s Measurement & Control Solutions segment consists of its portfolio of businesses in smart metering, network technologies, advanced infrastructure analytics and analytic instrumentation.

  • Second quarter 2018 Measurement & Control Solutions revenue was $383 million, up eight percent organically versus the prior year period. This reflects solid growth in the Sensus business, up high single digits year-over-year, driven by large project deployments in the energy sector in North America. Revenue in Xylem’s analytics business increased six percent organically in the quarter.
  • Second quarter reported operating income for the segment was $31 million, and adjusted operating income, which excludes $4 million of restructuring and realignment costs and acquisition-related costs, was $35 million, a three-percent increase over the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the Measurement & Control Solutions segment decreased 140 basis points to 18.5 percent. Reported operating margin for the segment was 8.1 percent. The benefits of volume leverage were more than offset by the negative impact of mix driven by large deployments in the energy business as well as the funding of strategic R&D and commercial investments to accelerate growth and higher purchase accounting amortization. This resulted in a 150-basis-point decrease in adjusted operating margin to 9.1 percent.

Xylem Inc. Non-GAAP Measures
 
 

Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, gross margins, segment operating income and margins, orders growth, working capital and backlog, among others. In addition, we consider certain non-GAAP (or "adjusted") measures to be useful to management and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and to provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including but not limited to, dividends, acquisitions, share repurchases and debt repayment. Excluding revenue, Xylem provides guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain amounts that would be included in GAAP earnings, such as discrete tax items, without unreasonable effort. These adjusted metrics are consistent with how management views our business and are used to make financial, operating and planning decisions. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share (basic and diluted) or net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators:

 
“Organic revenue" and "Organic orders” defined as revenue and orders, respectively, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency translation and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures. Divestitures include sales of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency translation impacts is determined by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate.
 
“Constant currency” defined as financial results adjusted for foreign currency translation impacts by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
 
“EBITDA” defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. “Adjusted EBITDA” reflects the adjustment to EBITDA to exclude share-based compensation charges, restructuring and realignment costs, Sensus acquisition related costs, gain or loss from sale of businesses and special charges.
 
"Adjusted Operating Income", "Adjusted Segment Operating Income", "Adjusted Net Income" and “Adjusted EPS” defined as operating income, segment operating income, adjusted net income and earnings per share, adjusted to exclude restructuring and realignment costs, Sensus acquisition related costs, gain or loss from sale of businesses, special charges and tax-related special items, as applicable. For Sensus historical adjustments, see Sensus Historical - Adjusted Operating Income table.
 
“Free Cash Flow” defined as net cash from operating activities, as reported in the Statement of Cash Flow, less capital expenditures as well as adjustments for other significant items that impact current results which management believes are not related to our ongoing operations and performance. Our definition of free cash flow does not consider certain non-discretionary cash payments, such as debt.
 
“Realignment costs” defined as costs not included in restructuring costs that are incurred as part of actions taken to reposition our business, including items such as professional fees, severance, relocation, travel, facility set-up and other costs.
 

“Sensus Acquisition Related Costs" defined as costs incurred by the Company associated with the acquisition of Sensus that are being reported within operating income. These costs include integration costs, acquisition costs, costs related to the recognition of the backlog intangible asset amortization recorded in purchase accounting.

 

“Special charges" defined as costs incurred by the Company, such as non-cash impairment charges, acquisition and integration related costs not related to Sensus and other special non-operating items.

 
“Tax-related special items" defined as tax items, such as tax return versus tax provision adjustments, tax exam impacts, tax law change impacts, significant reserves for cash repatriation, excess tax benefits/losses and other discrete tax adjustments.
