Xylem Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

Revenue of $2.1 billion, up 50% on a reported basis, and 10% organically
Earnings per share of $0.63, up 800%; adjusted earnings per share of $0.99, up 14%
Raising full-year revenue guidance to approximately $7.3B, up 32% from 30%, with expected organic revenue growth of 11%, up from 9% to 10%
Lifting full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $3.71 to $3.73, from $3.50 to $3.70

WASHINGTON, D.C., (Oct. 31, 2023) – Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues, today reported third-quarter results. The Company’s total revenue was $2.1 billion, with reported growth of 50 percent and organic growth of 10 percent, surpassing prior guidance, on strong commercial and operational execution and resilient demand. Orders were up 43 percent on a reported basis and up 3 percent organically, while backlog grew 5 percent organically to $5.2 billion, including $1.3 billion from Evoqua. Third-quarter earnings exceeded Xylem’s previous guidance.

“The team capitalized on resilient demand to deliver another quarter of robust growth and continued margin expansion, with each of our segments outperforming expectations,” said Patrick Decker, Xylem president and CEO. “In addition to healthy organic growth, we saw strong operational performance in both our legacy business and in our recent Evoqua acquisition. The combination of these two great enterprises is delivering a robust pipeline of new commercial opportunities, and integration cost synergies are well on track. The team’s performance and continuing underlying demand give us confidence in raising our full-year guidance.”

“We are in a unique position as water challenges continue to intensify – bringing a transformative platform of solutions to customers and communities around the world. I have full confidence in the team to keep building on the foundation we’ve built to deliver the full potential of our strategy, drive further durability in our business model, and continue to create distinctive value for all our stakeholders.”

Net income was $152 million, or $0.63 per share. Net income margin increased 640 basis points to 7.3 percent. These results are driven by lapping a prior-year one-time pension settlement and strong operational performance, partially offset by higher acquisition and integration costs related to the Evoqua transaction, higher purchase accounting intangible amortization, and higher restructuring and realignment costs. Adjusted net income was $240 million, or $0.99 per share, which excludes the impacts of special charges, purchase accounting intangible amortization, and restructuring and realignment costs.

Third-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin was 19.8 percent, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 150 basis points. Excluding Evoqua’s results, adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.9 percent, up 60 basis points over the prior year period. Strong price
1


realization more than offset inflation and, coupled with productivity savings and higher volume, drove the margin expansion, exceeding the impact of strategic investments.

Outlook

Xylem now expects full-year 2023 revenue of approximately $7.3 billion, up approximately 32 percent on a reported basis and up approximately 11 percent on an organic basis. This represents an increase from the Company’s previous full-year guidance of 30 percent on a reported basis and 9 to 10 percent on an organic basis.

Full-year 2023 adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 19 percent, lifted from the previous guide of approximately 18 percent. This results in adjusted earnings per share of $3.71 to $3.73, raised from the previous range of $3.50 to $3.70.

Further 2023 planning assumptions are included in Xylem’s third-quarter 2023 earnings materials posted at www.xylem.com/investors. 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.

Third Quarter Segment Results

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 2023 revenue was $440 million, up 26 percent on a reported basis and 25 percent organically, versus the prior year period. Growth was led by backlog execution in smart metering and test and measurement.

Third-quarter reported operating income for the segment was $27 million, compared to a $2 million loss in the same period last year. Adjusted operating income, which excludes $1 million of special charges, $6 million of restructuring and realignment costs, and $16 million of purchase accounting intangible amortization, was $50 million, a 72 percent increase versus the prior year period, which was recast to add back $17 million of non-cash purchase accounting amortization. The segment reported operating margin was 6.1 percent, up 670 basis points versus the prior year period. Adjusted operating margin of 11.4 percent increased 310 basis points over the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.7 percent, up 190 basis points from the prior year period. Higher volume, strong price realization, and productivity savings exceeded the impact of inflation and strategic investments.

Water Infrastructure

Xylem’s Water Infrastructure segment, now including legacy-Evoqua’s Applied Product Technologies segment, consists of its portfolio of businesses serving clean water delivery, wastewater transport and treatment, and dewatering.

Third-quarter 2023 revenue was $803 million, a 40 percent increase on a reported basis and 7 percent organically, compared with the prior year period. This strong growth was driven by price realization and robust utilities and industrial demand, particularly in the U.S., and resilience in Western Europe, partially offset by a decline in Emerging Markets.

Third-quarter reported operating income for the segment was $128 million, a 23 percent increase versus the same period last year. Adjusted operating income, which excludes $6 million of special charges, $3 million of restructuring and realignment costs, and $15 million of purchase accounting intangible amortization, was $152 million. This represents a 41 percent increase versus the prior
2


year period, which was recast to add back $1 million of non-cash purchase accounting amortization. Reported operating margin for the segment was 15.9 percent, down 220 basis points versus the prior year period, and adjusted operating margin was 18.9 percent, up 10 basis points versus the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.2 percent, up 50 basis points versus the prior year. Excluding Evoqua, adjusted EBITDA margin was 21.5 percent, up 80 basis points on the prior year. Favorable price realization net of inflation, productivity initiatives and higher volume more than offset strategic investments.

Applied Water

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

Third-quarter 2023 revenue was $465 million, a 2 percent increase on a reported basis and 1 percent organically, year-over-year. Growth was driven by strong price realization, backlog execution in U.S. building solutions, and resilient industrial demand in developed markets, partially offset by softness in Emerging Markets.

Third-quarter reported operating income for the segment was $73 million, a 5 percent decrease versus the same period last year. Adjusted operating income, which excludes $6 million of restructuring and realignment costs, was $79 million, a 1 percent increase versus the same period last year. The segment reported operating margin was 15.7 percent, down 110 basis points versus the prior year period. Adjusted operating margin of 17.0 percent was flat to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 18.3 percent, up 20 basis points from the prior year. Adjusted margin expansion was driven by price realization net of inflation and productivity savings, more than offsetting volume declines and strategic investments.

Integrated Solutions & Services

Xylem’s Integrated Solutions & Services segment consists of its portfolio of businesses providing water treatment systems and solutions, with an extensive service branch network and fleet of mobile assets.

Third-quarter 2023 revenue was $368 million.

Third-quarter reported operating loss for the segment was $3 million. Adjusted operating income was $49 million, which excludes $9 million of special charges, $8 million of restructuring and realignment costs, and $35 million of purchase accounting intangible amortization. The segment reported operating margin was (0.8) percent. Adjusted operating margin was 13.3 percent. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 22.6 percent, reflecting strong margin performance driven by effective price-cost discipline and volume conversion.

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” reflect 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, amortization of acquired intangible assets, 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 and other non-recurring, significant non-cash impacts, such as 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.
"Adjusted Free Cash Flow" defined as free cash flow adjusted for significant cash items for which the corresponding income statement impact does not occur within the same fiscal year.
“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 costs related to the UK pension plan buyout.
9


“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.
