November 2, 2021
  • Orders growth of 22% on a reported basis, 20% organically, from strong underlying demand across segments
  • Revenue growth 4% on a reported basis, 2% organically
  • Net income as a percentage of revenue of 9.0%, up 600 basis points; adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.9%, down 30 basis points
  • Reported net income of $114 million or $0.63 per share; adjusted net income of $116 million or $0.63 per share
  • Lowers full-year organic revenue and earnings per share guidance to ranges of 3% to 4%, and $2.40 to $2.50, respectively

RYE BROOK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 2, 2021-- Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues, today reported third quarter 2021 revenue of $1.27 billion. Revenues grew 4 percent on a reported basis, and 2 percent organically. Strong global demand was moderated by supply constraints slowing order-to-revenue conversion.

Third quarter adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin decreased 30 basis points to 17.9 percent. Inflation and strategic investments were partially offset by productivity, price realization and cost containment. Xylem generated net income of $114 million, or $0.63 per share, and adjusted net income of $116 million, or $0.63 per share, which excludes the impact of restructuring, realignment and special charges.

“Global demand for water solutions continues to be robust, across our business,” said Patrick Decker, Xylem’s president and CEO. “The team capitalized on that broad-based underlying demand, delivering strong growth in new orders and backlog in all segments. This positions us well to achieve our 2025 growth and strategic milestones, which we outlined at our investor day, last month.

“The team has done an outstanding job managing inflationary effects with productivity and cost discipline, delivering solid margin and earnings performance,” continued Decker. “Nevertheless, we foresee the global supply challenges continuing – particularly the chip shortages being experienced across the technology sector. While we expect strong demand to continue, nearer term supply constraints have slowed order-to-revenue conversion more than expected, leading us to moderate our view of full-year revenues and, therefore, earnings.”

Updated Outlook

Xylem now expects full-year organic revenue growth to be in the range of 3 to 4 percent, which would be approximately $5.1 to $5.2 billion on a reported basis. This represents a decrease from the Company’s previous full-year organic revenue guidance of 6 to 8 percent, or $5.3 to $5.4 billion on a reported basis. Full-year adjusted earnings per share is now expected to be in the range of $2.40 to $2.50, from $2.55 to $2.70. Full-year free cash flow conversion outlook remains unchanged at 80 to 90 percent. The revised guidance reflects the impact of increased supply chain challenges, partially offset by strong cost discipline.

Third Quarter Segment Results

Water Infrastructure

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

  • Third quarter 2021 revenue was $547 million, up 4 percent on a reported basis, and up 2 percent organically, compared with the same period in 2020. Strong growth in industrial end markets from broad pandemic recovery and demand in Emerging Markets offset some softness in the utility markets due to timing delays caused by supply chain disruptions.
  • Third quarter adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.2 percent, up 100 basis points versus the prior year period. Reported operating income for the segment was $101 million and adjusted operating income, which excludes $1 million of restructuring and realignment costs, was $102 million. The segment reported operating margin was 18.5 percent, up 150 basis points versus the prior year period. Adjusted operating margin rose 10 basis points to 18.6 percent. Strong productivity savings and price realization offset inflation and supply chain constraints.

Applied Water

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

  • Third quarter 2021 revenue was $400 million, up 10 percent on a reported basis, and up 8 percent organically, compared with the same period in 2020. Broad reopening activity drove strong demand in industrial and commercial end markets compared to COVID-19 challenges in the prior year.
  • Third quarter adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.0 percent, down 60 basis points from the prior year period. Reported operating income for the segment was $60 million and adjusted operating income, which excludes $2 million of restructuring and realignment costs, was $62 million. The segment reported operating margin was 15.0 percent, down 40 basis points versus the prior year period. Adjusted operating margin decreased 40 basis points to 15.5 percent. Inflation, supply chain disruption and investments more than offset productivity benefits and price realization.

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.

  • Third quarter 2021 revenue was $318 million, down 4 percent on a reported basis, and down 5 percent organically, compared with the same period in 2020. Soft performance in the business was driven by chip supply shortages impacting our smart metering business, partially offset by demand in water quality testing applications and pipeline assessment services businesses.
  • Third quarter adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.2 percent, down 60 basis points from the prior year period. Reported operating income for the segment was $7 million and adjusted operating income, with $1 million restructuring and realignment income in the quarter, was $6 million. The segment reported operating margin was 2.2 percent, up 2,090 basis points versus the prior year period. Adjusted operating margin decreased 170 basis points to 1.9 percent. Volume declines from component shortages and higher inflation offset productivity and price realization.

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 items to represent the non-GAAP measures we consider to be key performance indicators, as well as the related reconciling items to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
 
“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 or discontinuance 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” and "Adjusted Segment EBITDA" reflects the adjustments to EBITDA and segment EBITDA, respectively, to exclude share-based compensation charges, restructuring and realignment costs, gain or loss from sale of businesses and special charges.
 
"Adjusted EBITDA Margin" and "Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin" defined as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA divided by total revenue and segment revenue, respectively.
 
"Adjusted Operating Income", "Adjusted Segment Operating Income", "Adjusted Net Income" and “Adjusted EPS” defined as operating income, segment operating income, net income and earnings per share, adjusted to exclude restructuring and realignment costs, gain or loss from sale of businesses, special charges and tax-related special items, as applicable.
 
"Adjusted Operating Margin" and "Adjusted Segment Operating Margin" defined as adjusted operating income and adjusted segment operating income divided by total revenue and segment revenue, respectively.
 
“Free Cash Flow” defined as net cash from operating activities, as reported in the Statement of Cash Flows, less capital expenditures, and "Free Cash Flow Conversion" defined as Free Cash Flows divided by net income, excluding the gain on sale of businesses, non-cash impairment charges and significant deferred tax items. Our definitions of "free cash flow" and "free cash flow conversion" do 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.
 
“Special charges" defined as costs incurred by the Company, such as acquisition and integration related costs, non-cash impairment charges and both operating and non-operating adjustments for pension costs.
 
“Tax-related special items" defined as tax items, such as tax return versus tax provision adjustments, tax exam impacts, tax law change impacts, excess tax benefits/losses and other discrete tax adjustments.
