XYLEM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
Xylem Inc. (“Xylem” or the “Company”) is a leading equipment and service provider for water and wastewater applications with a broad portfolio of products and services addressing the full cycle of water, from collection, distribution and use to the return of water to the environment.
Xylem operates in threefour segments, Water Infrastructure, Applied Water, and Measurement & Control Solutions.Solutions and Integrated Solutions and Services. See Note 18,19, "Segment Information," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further segment background information.
Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, "Xylem," "we," "us," "our" and the "Company" refer to Xylem Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Acquisition of Evoqua
On May 24, 2023, Xylem completed the acquisition of Evoqua Water Technologies Corp. (“Evoqua”). Refer to Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," for additional information.
Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All intercompany transactions between our businesses have been eliminated.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 ("20212022 Annual Report") in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our 20212022 Annual Report. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, valuation results associated with purchase accounting, post-retirement obligations and assets, revenue recognition, income taxes, valuation of intangible assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment testing and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") disease in March 2020, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has created significant global volatility, uncertainty and related macroeconomic disruption. The COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic conditions have also caused increased uncertainty in estimates and assumptions affecting the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Our quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter, except for the fourth quarter which ends on December 31. For ease of presentation, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are described as ending on the last day of the calendar quarter.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, "Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations." This guidance requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The ASU becomesbecame effective January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward requirement, which becomes effective January 1, 2024. EarlyThe disclosures related to our adoption is permitted. We will reflectof the impact of these disclosure updates in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2023.standard are included below:
The Company facilitates the opportunity for suppliers to participate in voluntary supply chain financing programs with third-party financial institutions. Xylem agrees on commercial terms, including payment terms, with suppliers regardless of program participation. The company does not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between suppliers and the third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers are paid directly by the third-party financial institution. Xylem pays the third-party financial institution the stated amount of confirmed invoices from its designated suppliers at the original invoice amount on the original maturity dates of the invoices, ranging from 45-180 days. Xylem does not pay fees related to these programs. Xylem or the third-party financial institutions may terminate the agreements upon at least 30 days’ notice. As of June 30, 2023, the total outstanding balance under these programs is $178 million presented on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within "Accounts payable."
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” This guidance requires an acquirer to apply the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination, rather than using fair value. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and we adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023. The guidance will be applied prospectively to business combinations after the adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Evoqua Water Technologies Corp.

On May 24, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Evoqua, a leader in providing water and wastewater treatment solutions, offering a broad portfolio of products and services to support industrial, municipal, and recreational customers, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 22, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided that Fore Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merge with and into Evoqua, with Evoqua surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Xylem (the “Merger”). Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Evoqua common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive 0.48 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of the common stock of Xylem. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, legacy Evoqua stockholders owned approximately 25% and legacy Xylem shareholders owned approximately 75% of the combined company. The purchase price for purposes of the Merger consisted of an aggregate of $6,121 million of the Company’s common stock, $160 million in replacement equity awards, and $619 million to repay certain indebtedness of Evoqua (refer to Note 12. Credit Facilities and Debt). Acquisition costs for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 of $39 million and $55 million, respectively, have been recorded within Selling, general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Income Statement.

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration totaled $6,900, which consisted of the following:

(in millions)Fair Value of Purchase Consideration
Xylem Common Stock issued to Evoqua stockholders (58,779,096 shares)$6,121 
Estimated replacement equity awards160 
Payment of certain Evoqua indebtedness619 
Total$6,900

The Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the excess purchase consideration recorded to goodwill. As the Company finalizes the estimation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period (a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). The following table summarizes the preliminary acquisition date fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed from Evoqua:

(in millions)Fair Value
  Cash and cash equivalents$143 
  Receivables432 
  Inventories288 
  Prepaid and other current assets75 
  Assets held for sale
  Property, plant and equipment, net511 
  Goodwill4,364 
  Other intangible assets, net2,307 
  Other non-current assets191 
  Non-current assets held for sale86 
  Accounts payable(207)
  Accrued and other current liabilities(342)
 Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt(166)
  Liabilities held for sale(1)
  Long-term debt(111)
  Other non-current accrued liabilities(124)
  Deferred income tax liabilities(551)
  Non-current liabilities held for sale(3)
Total$6,900

The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to further refinement and may require significant adjustments to arrive at the final purchase price allocation. The above fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the reporting date. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined using the income and cost approaches. In many cases, the determination of the fair values required estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental and subject to change. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed as soon as the necessary information becomes available but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The fair value of receivables acquired is $322 million, with the gross contractual amount being $329 million. The Company expects $7 million to be uncollectible.

9


The amounts of sales and net loss from continuing operations before income taxes of Evoqua since the acquisition date included in the Consolidated Income Statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are $178 million and $49 million, respectively. The $4,364 million of goodwill recognized, which is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, is primarily attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Evoqua and Xylem as well as the assembled workforce of Evoqua.

The preliminary estimate of the fair value of Evoqua’s identifiable intangible assets was determined primarily using the “income approach,” which requires a forecast of all of the expected future cash flows either through the use of the multi-period excess earnings method or the relief-from-royalty method. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement of the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). Intangible assets consisting of the Evoqua tradename, technology, customer relationships, and backlog were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MEEM”), or the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method, both are forms of the income approach.

Trademarks and proprietary technology intangible assets were valued using the RFR method. The RFR method of valuation suggests that in lieu of ownership, the acquirer can obtain comparable rights to use the subject asset via a license from a hypothetical third-party owner. The asset’s Fair Value is the present value of license fees avoided by owning it (i.e., the royalty savings).

Customer relationship and backlog intangible assets were valued using the MEEM method. The MEEM method of valuation is an approach where the net earnings attributable to the asset being measured are isolated from other “contributory assets” over the intangible asset’s remaining economic life.

Inventory was estimated using the comparative sales method, which quantifies the Fair Value of inventory based on the expected sales price of the subject inventory (when complete), reduced for: (i) all costs expected to be incurred in its completion and disposition efforts and (ii) a profit on those value-added completion and disposition costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

In connection with the Merger, each outstanding and issued option, restricted stock unit (“RSU”), performance stock unit (“PSU”) and cash-settled stock appreciation right (“SAR”) was converted into the Xylem equivalent, with outstanding PSUs being converted into Xylem RSUs. As a result, Xylem issued 2 million replacement equity options, 330 thousand PSU awards, and 377 thousand RSU awards, respectively. The portion of the fair value related to pre-combination services of $160 million was included in the purchase price, and $56 million will be recognized over the remaining service periods. As of June 30, 2023, the future unrecognized expense related to the outstanding Converted Equity Options, RSU Awards and PSU Awards was approximately $5 million, $21 million, and $10 million, respectively. The future unrecognized expense related to Converted Equity Options, RSU Awards, and PSU Awards will be recognized over a weighted-average service period of 3 years. SAR awards are immaterial.

The foregoing unaudited pro forma results are for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that might have occurred had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results. The unaudited pro-forma information for all periods presented includes the following adjustments, where applicable, for business combination accounting effects resulting from the acquisition: (i) amortization of the fair value step up in inventory, (ii) additional amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets acquired, (iii) repayment of Evoqua’s term loan and revolver and the settlement of the related interest rate swap, (iv) additional interest expense related to financing for the acquisition (refer to Note 12. Credit Facilities and Debt), (v) depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment, (vi) additional incremental stock-based compensation expense for the replacement of Evoqua’s outstanding equity awards with Xylem’s replacement equity awards, and (vii) the related tax effects assuming that the business combination occurred on January 1, 2022.

The significant nonrecurring adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated information above include the reclassification of the transaction costs to the earliest period presented and the reversal of the impacts related to the settlement of the interest rate swap, each net of tax.
Divestitures
On June 15, 2023, Xylem sold the former Evoqua carbon reactivation and slurry operations to Desotec US LLC, a subsidiary of Desotec N.V., for approximately $91 million, a price equal to the fair value less costs to sell the business.

Performance obligations
Delivery schedules vary from customer to customer based upon their requirements. Typically, large projects require longer lead production cycles and delays can occur from time to time. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied for contracts with performance obligations, amount to $567 million.$949 million, of which $464 million is contributed by the Evoqua acquisition. We expect to recognize the majority of revenue upon the completion of satisfying these performance obligations in the following three years.60 months. The Company elects to apply the practical expedient to exclude from this disclosure revenue related to performance obligations that are part of a contract whose original expected duration is less than one year.

Note 4.5. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
Restructuring
From time to time,During the Company will incurthree and six months ended June 30, 2023 we incurred restructuring costs of $28 million and $34 million, respectively. We incurred these charges primarily as a result of our acquisition of Evoqua. Approximately, $14 million of the charges related to restructuring actionsstock based compensation expense due to acceleration clauses in orderequity compensation agreements and approximately $14 million of the charges represented the reduction of headcount. Additionally, we incurred $6 million of charges related to our efforts to reposition our European and North American businesses to optimize our cost basestructure, improve our operational efficiency and more strategically position itself. effectiveness, strengthen our competitive positioning and better serve our customers. The charges were incurred across all of our segments.

During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 we incurred restructuring costscharges of $3 million and $9 million, respectively.$6 million. We incurred these charges primarily as a continuation of our efforts to reposition our European and North American businesses to optimize our cost structure and improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness. The charges included the reduction of headcount across all segments.
During the threeWater Infrastructure, Applied Water and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized net restructuring (recoveries) expense of $(2) million and charges of $6 million, respectively, of which $(2) million and $4 million, respectively, relate to actions previously announced in 2020 and earlier. These charges included reduction of headcount across all segments and asset impairments within our Measurement & Control Solutions segment and accrual recoveries in our Measurement & Control Solutions segment.segments.

Asset Impairment
During the thirdfirst quarter of 2022,2023, we determined that certain assets includinginternally developed in-process software and customer relationships within our Measurement & Control Solutions segment were impaired. Accordingly,was impaired as a result of actions taken to prioritize strategic investments and we therefore recognized an impairment charge of $12$2 million. Refer to Note 8,9, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for additional information.

Note 5.6. Income Taxes
Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within periods presented. The comparison of our effective tax rate between periods is significantly impacted by the level and mix of earnings and losses by tax jurisdiction and discrete items.
The income tax provision for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 was $5$22 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.8%19.1%, compared to a $19$24 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 13.9%17.5% for the same period in 2021.2022. The income tax provision for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 was $45$49 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 17.8%20.5%, compared to a $71$40 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.3%17.0% for the same period in 2021.2022. The effective tax rate for the threesix month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the impact of earnings mix. The effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 20222023 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the favorable impact of earnings mix partially offset by the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI") inclusion.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits
During 2019, Xylem’s Swedish subsidiary received a tax assessment for the 2013 tax year related to the tax treatment of an intercompany transfer of certain intellectual property that was made in connection with a reorganization of our European businesses. Xylem filed an appeal with the Administrative Court of Vaxjo,Växjö, which rendered a decision adverse to Xylem in June 2022 for SEK788SEK806 million (approximately $70 million USD)$74 million), consisting of the full tax assessment amount plus penalties and interest. Xylem has appealed this decision with the intermediate appellate court, the Administrative Court of Appeal (the “Court”). At this time, management, in consultation with external legal advisors, continues to believe it is more likely than not that Xylem will prevail on the proposed assessment and will continue to vigorously defend our position through the appellate process. The appeal to the Court is expected to take approximately one year; however, there can be no assurance as to the timing of the Court’s decision. Both parties will have the ability to seek appeal of the Court’s decision to the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden. There can be no assurance that the final determination by the authorities will not be materially different than our position. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, we havedo not recordedhave any unrecognized tax benefits related to this uncertain tax position.

(a)Restricted stock unit awardsunits containing rights to non-forfeitable dividends that participate in undistributed earnings with common stockholders are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share.
(b)Incremental shares from stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units are computed by the treasury stock method. The weighted average shares listed below were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented or were otherwise excluded under the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method calculates dilution assuming the exercise of all in-the-money options and vesting of restricted stock units and performance share units, reduced by the repurchase of shares with the proceeds from the assumed exercises and unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding awards. Performance share units will be included in the treasury stock calculation of diluted earnings per share upon achievement of underlying performance or market conditions at the end of the reporting period. See Note 14,15, "Share-Based Compensation Plans," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail on the performance share units.

The Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Evoqua at their fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the excess purchase consideration recorded to goodwill. We have preliminarily allocated goodwill to segments of the Company that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. As the Company finalizes the estimation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional adjustments to the amount of goodwill allocated to each segment may be necessary.

Note 9.10. Derivative Financial Instruments     
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions, and we principally manage our exposures to these risks through management of our core business activities. Certain of our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates that may impact revenue, expenses, cash receipts, cash payments, and the value of our stockholders' equity. We enter into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain cash flows in terms of the functional currency of the business unit with that exposure and also reduce the volatility in stockholders' equity.
As a result of Evoqua terminating their interest rate swaps prior to the Company completing the acquisition, the Company received $38 million in proceeds during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from the termination of the interest rate swaps.
Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our functional currencies. We use foreign currency derivatives, including currency forward agreements, to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the various exchange rates. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date.
Certain business units with exposure to foreign currency exchange risks have designated certain currency forward agreements as cash flow hedges of forecasted intercompany inventory purchases and sales. Our principal currency exposures for which we enter into cash flow hedges relate to the Euro, Swedish Krona, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Polish Zloty and Australian Dollar. We had foreign exchange contracts with purchased notional amounts totaling $130$360 million and $301$255 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, our most significant foreign currency derivatives included contracts to sell U.S. Dollar and purchase Euro, purchase Swedish Krona and sell Euro, sell British Pound and purchase Euro, purchase Polish Zloty and sell Euro, purchase U.S. Dollar and sell Canadian Dollar, sell Canadian Dollar and purchase Euro, purchase Canadian Dollar and Sell U.S. Dollar, and sell Australian Dollar and purchase Euro, and to purchase Polish Zloty and sell Euro. The purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives are $50$144 million, $93 million, $39 million, $18 million, $17 million, $16 million, $8 million, $6 million, $6$16 million and $5$13 million, respectively. As of December 31, 20212022 the purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives are $130were $105 million, $88$73 million, $31 million, $14 million, $14$29 million, $13 million, $13 million, $13 million, $0 million and $11$9 million, respectively.
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
We are exposed to changes in foreign currencies impacting our net investments held in foreign subsidiaries.
Cross-Currency Swaps
Beginning in 2015, we entered into cross-currency swaps to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. During the second quarter of 2019, third quarter of 2020, and second quarter of 2022 we entered into additional cross-currency swaps. The total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges was $1,469$1,659 million and $1,151$1,616 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.
Foreign Currency Denominated Debt
On March 11, 2016, we issued 2.250% Senior Notes of €500 million aggregate principal amount due March 2023.On December 12th, 2022 our Senior Notes due March 2023 were settled with cash on hand for a total of $527 million.
Previously, the entirety of the outstanding balance was designated as a hedge of a net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. On June 2, 2022, we de-designated the entirety of the outstanding balance of the €500 million 2.250% Senior Notes, or $533 million from the net investment hedge relationship. Previously, the entirety of the outstanding balance, or $563 million as of December 31, 2021, net of unamortized discount, was designated as a hedge of a net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries.
Fair Value Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
The de-designation of our 2.250% Senior Notes of €500 million resulted in exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. We use currency forward agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date.

On June 2, 2022, we entered into a currency forward agreement with a total notional amount of €500 million, designating the agreement as a fair value hedge of our Euro denominated notes. As of September 30,On December 12, 2022 the total notional amount of the fair value hedge was $483 million.

currency forward agreement matured.
Effectiveness of derivatives designated as fair value hedges is assessed using the spot method. The changes in the fair value of these derivatives due to movements in spot exchange rates are recorded in Selling, general and administrative Expenses. Changes in the fair value of the 2.250% Senior Notes of €500 million related to spot exchange rates are also recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Changes in the spot-forward differential and counterparty non-performance risk of the derivatives are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and will be recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL"). Amounts in AOCL are recognized in earnings, specifically Interest expense, using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument.

The total net periodic benefit cost for other post-retirement employee benefit plans waswas less than $1 million, including net credits recognized into other"Other comprehensive income (loss)" of less than $1 million, for both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively.
We contributed $15$9 million and $16$10 million to our defined benefit plans duringfor the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. Additional contributions ranging between approximately $3$10 million and $7$14 million areare expected to be made during the remainder of 2022.
The Company initiated the process for a full buy-out of its largest defined benefit plan in the U.K. in 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company purchased a bulk annuity policy as a plan asset to facilitate the termination and buy-out of the plan. The buyout was completed in September 2022, at which point the remaining benefit obligations were transferred to the insurer and we were relieved of any further obligation. As a result, we recorded a pension settlement charge of £123 million (approximately $140 million), primarily consisting of unrecognized actuarial losses.

Stock Option Fair Value
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the binomial lattice pricing model which incorporates multiple and variable assumptions over time, including employee exercise patterns, stock price volatility and changes in dividends. The following are weighted-average assumptions for 20222023 grants:
Volatility26.2027.30 %
Risk-free interest rate1.594.25 %
Dividend yield1.381.31 %
Expected term (in years)5.65.4
Weighted-average fair value / share$19.8629.06 
Expected volatility is calculated based on an analysis of historic volatility measures for Xylem. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination behavior within the valuation model. Employee groups and option characteristics are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term represents an estimate of the period of time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of option grant.

Note 17.18. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in legal and regulatory proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses (or the business operations of previously-owned entities). These proceedings may seek remedies relating to matters including environmental, tax, intellectual property, acquisitions or divestitures, product liability, property damage, personal injury, privacy, employment, labor and pension, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes.
27


See Note 5,6, "Income Taxes," of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of a pending tax litigation matter.
Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claims, we do not believe it is reasonably possible that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, or financial condition. We have estimated and accrued $5$12 million and $4$5 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, for these general legal matters.

32


Guarantees
We obtain certain stand-by letters of credit, bank guarantees, surety bonds and insurance letters of credit from third-party financial institutions in the ordinary course of business when required under contracts or to satisfy insurance-related requirements. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the amount of surety bonds, bank guarantees, insurance letters of credit, stand-by letters of credit as well as revenue and customs guarantees was $435$716 million and $415$451 million, respectively.
Environmental
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. We are responsible, or are alleged to be responsible, for ongoing environmental investigation and remediation of sites in various countries. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in many of these proceedings our liability is considered de minimis. We have received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and from similar state and foreign environmental agencies, that a number of sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by Xylem or for which we are responsible, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances where we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations.
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site-by-site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. Our accrued liabilities for these environmental matters represent our best estimates related to the investigation and remediation of environmental media such as water, soil, soil vapor, air and structures, as well as related legal fees. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed quarterly and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for these environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis. We have estimated and accrued $4 millionand$3 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 20212022 for environmental matters.
It is difficult to estimate the final costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of investigation or remediation and our share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of alternative remedial approaches, and changes in environmental standards and regulatory requirements. We believe the total amount accrued is reasonable based on existing facts and circumstances.
Warranties
We warrant numerous products, the terms of which vary widely. In general, we warrant products against defect and specific non-performance. The table below provides changes in the combined current and non-current product warranty accruals over each period:

Overview
Xylem is a leading global water technology company. We design, manufacture and service highly engineered products and solutions ranging across a wide variety of critical applications in utility, industrial, residential and commercial building servicessolutions settings. Our broad portfolio of solutions addresses customer needs of scarcity, resilience, and affordability across the water cycle, from the delivery, measurement and use of drinking water to the collection, test, treatment and analysis of wastewater to the return of water to the environment. Our product and service offerings are organized into threefour reportable segments that are aligned around the critical market applications they provide: Water Infrastructure, Applied Water, and Measurement & Control Solutions.Solutions and Integrated Solutions & Services.
Water Infrastructure serves the water infrastructure sector with pump systems that transport water from aquifers, lakes, rivers and seas; with filtration, ultraviolet and ozone systems that provide treatment, making the water fit to use; and pumping solutions that move the wastewater and storm water to treatment facilities where our mixers, biological treatment, monitoring and control systems provide the primary functions in the treatment process. We also provide sales and rental of specialty dewatering pumps and related equipment and services. Additionally, our offerings use monitoring and control, smart and connected technologies to allow for remote monitoring of performance and enable products to self-optimize pump operations maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing unplanned downtime and maintenance for our customers. In the Water Infrastructure segment, we provide the majority of our sales directly to customers along with strong applications expertise, while the remaining amount is through distribution partners. The Water Infrastructure segment also includes legacy-Evoqua's Applied Product Technologies (APT) segment. APT provides a range of highly differentiated and scalable products and technologies with product offerings in the filtration and separation, disinfection, wastewater solutions, anode and electrochlorination technology, and aquatics technologies and solutions spaces.
Applied Water serves the water usage applications sector with water pressure boosting systems for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and for fire protection systems to the residential and commercial building servicessolutions markets. In addition, our pumps, heat exchangers and controls provide cooling to power plants and manufacturing facilities, circulation for food and beverage processing, as well as boosting systems for agricultural irrigation. In the Applied Water segment, we provide the majority of our sales through long-standing relationships with many of the leading independent distributors in the markets we serve, with the remainder going directly to customers.
Measurement & Control Solutions primarily serves the utility infrastructure solutions and services sector by delivering communications, smart metering, measurement and control technologiescapabilities and critical infrastructure technologies that allow customers to more effectively use their distribution networks for the delivery, monitoring and control of critical resources such as water, electricity and natural gas. We also provide analytical instrumentation used to measure and analyze water quality, flow and level in clean water, wastewater surfaceand outdoor water and coastal environments. Additionally, we offer software and services including cloud-based analytics, remote monitoring and data management, leak detection, condition assessment, asset management and pressure monitoring solutions. In the Measurement & Control Solutions segment, we generate our sales through a combination of long-standing relationships with leading distributors and dedicated channel partners, as well as direct sales depending on the regional availability of distribution channels and the type of product.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update and Macroeconomic Conditions
Our markets and operations have largely demonstrated resilience against the effects of the pandemic. However, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, shortages in the supply of components, including electronics, particularly semiconductors ("chips"), parts and raw materials. For example, China has adopted and continues to rely upon a “zero-COVID” policy pursuant to which it has declared a number of total and partial lockdowns in cities throughout China that has, and may continue to adversely affect the global supply chain. Chip supply has modestly improved in each successive quarter in 2022, which we expect to continue through the fourth quarter assuming no new unforeseen impacts to the global supply chain.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, gross margins, segment operating income and operating income margins, free cash flow, 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 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.dollar.
"adjusted net income" and "adjusted earnings per share" defined as net income and earnings per share, respectively, adjusted to exclude restructuring and realignment costs, special charges,amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain or loss from the sale of businesses, special charges and tax-related special items, as applicable. A reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share is provided below.

20222023 Outlook

We are further updating our total revenue growth to approximately 30%, and organic revenue growth to be in the range of approximately 4% in 2022, with organic revenue growth anticipated to be in the range of 9% to 10%. in 2023. The following is a summary of our organic revenue performance and the organic revenue outlook by end markets:

market.
Utilities revenue increased by approximately 5%20% through the third quarter on an organic basis driven by strength infirst half of the U.S. and western Europe partially offset by weakness in the emerging markets. For the remainder of 2022, we expect organic revenue growth in the mid-single-digit range, as utilities continue to remain focused on mission-critical applications in wastewater. Long-term capex outlook supported by aging infrastructure and the emerging markets’ continued advancement. On the clean water side, the timing of large project deployments has been impacted by the global shortage of electronic components. Although chip supply remains constrained, we do expect a continued, modest easing of chip supply, sequentially. Additionally, we can expect continued momentum for water quality products and increased demand for pipeline assessment services due to aging infrastructure.
Industrial revenue increased by approximately 13% through the third quarter on an organic basis driven by strength across all major geographic regions. For 2022, we now expect organic revenue growth in the low-double-digit range. We expect to see continued robust growth in our dewatering business, especially in the emerging markets from mining demand. We expect sustained demand in light industrial activity globally.
In the commercial markets, organic revenue increased by approximately 8% through the third quarteryear on an organic basis driven by strength across all major geographic regions. For the remainder of 2022,2023, we now expect organic revenue growth in the high-singlemid teens. On the clean water side, we anticipate growth from the conversion of our resilient backlog due to low-double digit range.continued improvement in chip supply. Additionally, we expect strong order momentum from smart water demand. We expect wastewater utilities to remain focused on mission-critical applications in wastewater. Long-term capital expenditure outlook is strong due to aging infrastructure and the emerging markets’ continued advancement.
Industrial revenue increased by approximately 12% through the first half of the year on an organic basis driven by strength across all major geographic regions. For 2023, we continue to expect organic revenue growth in the mid-single-digits. We anticipate resilient demand across most industrials. In light and general industry, we are seeing sustained demand globally, through resilient, recurring service revenue and healthy dewatering demand.
In the building solutions markets, revenue increased by approximately 13% through the first half of the year on an organic basis driven by strength in the U.S. and western Europe. For the remainder of 2023, we expect organic revenue growth in the mid-single-digits. In the commercial market, we expect resilient demand for green buildings and energy efficiency related projects, particularly in Europe, and strong commercial development in the Middle East.
Europe. We continue to monitor new construction, a smaller portion of our portfolio, for signs of moderation. In the residential markets, organic revenue increased by approximately 16% through the third quarter on an organic basis predominately driven by strength in the U.S. This market, is primarilywhich are predominantly driven by solid replacement revenue serviced through our distribution network. For 2022,network, we expect organic revenue growthare continuing to experience market softness, particularly in the high-teens. We anticipate dealer activity to remain healthy and order demand to normalize as supply chains and lead times improve.

Water Infrastructure
Water Infrastructure segment orders decreased $29increased $20 million, or 4.7%2.7%, to $594$751 million (2.9%(4.5% increase on a constant currency basis) for the thirdsecond quarter of 20222023 as compared to the prior year. The order increase included orders from recent acquisitions of $59 million from the APT business partially offset by an organic order decline of $26 million, or 3.6%. Order intake for the period was negatively impacted by $13 million of foreign currency translation. Organic orders decreased during the quarter primarily in the transport applications due to declines in orders in the U.S. driven by large infrastructure projects in the prior period which did not recur in the current period. This decline in order intake was partially offset by order growth in the dewatering business, primarily driven by rental orders and increased activity in the mining industry in Latin America. The treatment application saw a slight decrease in orders driven by western Europe due to project order wins in the prior year. Orders in the treatment application remained relatively flat as compared to the prior year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, orders decreased by $1 million, which was partially made up of the orders contributed by acquisitions from the APT business of $59 million, offset by an $18 million, or 1.3%, decrease in organic orders. Order intake for the period was negatively impacted by $42 million of foreign currency translation. Organic orders decreased during the quarter primarily in the transport applications due to declines in orders in the U.S. driven by large infrastructure projects in the prior period which did not recur in the current period. This decline in order intake was partially offset by order strength in the dewatering business, led by rental orders primarily in the emerging markets. The treatment application saw a slight decrease in orders driven by western Europe due to project order wins in the prior year.
Applied Water
Applied Water segment orders decreased $35 million, or 7.3%, to $445 million (6.0% decrease on a constant currency basis) for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year.

TheOrganic order decrease on a constant currency basisgrowth was driven primarily by weaknessthe water application in the U.S. following strong demand recoveryand emerging markets. Order growth within water applications was due to large project orders in the prior year. The declines in the U.S. were primarily in the specialty flow control business in the industrial end market, as well as in residential building services. This decline, which was partially offset by higher order intakedeclines across our energy applications in the emerging markets.U.S., due to lower demand.

The order increase on a constant currency basis was driven by strength in the emerging markets and western Europe as a result of strong market conditions and stocking by channel partners, partially offset by weakness in the U.S. following very strong demand recovery in the prior year reflecting order growth of 28% in the prior year period.
Measurement & Control Solutions
Measurement & Control Solutions segment orders decreased $33 million, or 7.3%, to $416 million (4.0% decrease on a constant currency basis) for the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the prior year. Order weakness for the quarter was negatively impacted by $15 million of foreign currency translation and reduced orders related to divestiture impacts of $7 million. The order decrease on a constant currency basis consisted primarily of organic order declines of $11$68 million or (2.4)%6.6%. TheOrganic order declinesintake was negatively impacted by lower demand across the energy application, particularly in the current quarter areU.S., lapping very strong organic order growth of 42% in the same prior year period. Organic orders for the quarter decreased in the energy applications, primarily driven by moderation of the increased demand and advanced ordering to address electronic component shortages that we benefited from in the prior year.second quarter. This decline was partially offset by strength in the water application driven by large project orders in the U.S. and the emerging markets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, orders increased $5 million or 0.3%, to $1,439 million (2.5% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Order growth for the period was negatively impacted by $31 million of foreign currency translation and reduced orders related to divestiture impacts of $18 million. The order increase on a constant currency basis consisted primarily of organic order growth of $54 million, or 3.8%. The modest order growth in the period is lapping very strong order growthU.S., due to increased demand in water applications.

The Integration Solutions & Services segment contributed total orders of 42% in the same period during the prior year. Organic orders$163 million for the period increased inthree and six months ended June 30, 2023. See Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," to the energy applications, primarily driven by demand and advanced ordering in the first half of the year to address electronic component shortages. This increase was partially offset by weakness in the water application driven by the moderation of early orders to mitigate electronic component shortages and longer lead times that drove order growth in the prior year, as well as modest order growth in our test and assessment service offerings.condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Backlog
Backlog includes orders on hand as well as contractual customer agreements at the end of the period. Delivery schedules vary from customer to customer based on their requirements. Annual or multi-year contracts are subject to rescheduling and cancellation by customers due to the long-term nature of the contracts. As such, beginning total backlog, plus orders, minus revenues, will not equal ending total backlog due to contract adjustments, foreign currency fluctuations, and other factors. Typically, large projects require longer lead production cycles and deployment schedules and delays occur from time to time. Total backlog was $3,667$5,271 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, an increase of $703$1,514 million or 23.7%40.3%, as compared to SeptemberJune 30, 20212022 backlog of $2,964$3,757 million, and an increase of $427$1,666 million or 13.2%46.2%, as compared to December 31, 20212022 backlog of $3,240

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
Restructuring
During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023, we incurred restructuring costs of $28 million and $34 million, respectively. We incurred these charges primarily as a result of our acquisition of Evoqua. Approximately, $14 million of the charges related to stock based compensation expense due to acceleration clauses in equity compensation agreements and approximately $14 million of the charges represented the reduction of headcount. Additionally, we incurred $6 million of charges related to our efforts to reposition our European and North American businesses to optimize our cost structure, improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness, strengthen our competitive positioning and better serve our customers. The charges were incurred across all of our segments.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred restructuring costscharges of $3 million and $9 million, respectively.$6 million. We incurred these charges primarily as a continuation of our efforts to reposition our European and North American businesses to optimize our cost structure and improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness. The charges included the reduction of headcount across all segments.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized restructuring recoveries of $(2) million and charges of $6 million, respectively, of which $(2) million and $4 million, respectively, relate to actions previously announced in 2020.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Operating Activities
Cash generated by operating activities was $234$9 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 as compared to $318$32 million in the comparable prior year period. The reduction in cash generatedprovided was primarily driven by higher working capitaltax payments, the investment in a distribution agreement of select technology and the payment of transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Evoqua. Reductions in inventory levels reflecting increased safety stock and higher accounts receivable driven by increased sales. Lower interest and income tax paymentscash earnings partially offset these items.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $123$489 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 as compared to $113$84 million in the comparable prior year period.

Funding and Liquidity Strategy
Our ability to fund our capital needs depends on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and access to bank financing and the capital markets. As a result of uncertainties caused both directly and indirectly by the COVID-19 pandemic and macroeconomic conditions, we continue toWe continually evaluate aspects of our spending, including capital expenditures, strategic investments and dividends.
51


Historically, we have generated operating cash flow sufficient to fund our primary cash needs. If our cash flows from operations are less than we expect, we may need to incur debt or issue equity. From time to time, we may need to access the long-term and short-term capital markets to obtain financing. Our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future will be impacted by many factors, including: (i) our credit ratings or absence of a credit rating, (ii) the liquidity of the overall capital markets, and (iii) the current state of the economy. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or that such financing will be available at all. Our securities are rated investment grade. A significant change in credit rating could impact our ability to borrow at favorable rates. Refer to Note 11,12, "Credit Facilities and Debt", of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of limitations on obtaining additional funding.
We monitor our global funding requirements and seek to meet our liquidity needs on a cost-effective basis. In addition, our existing committed credit facilities and access to the public debt markets would provide further liquidity if required.
Based on our current global cash positions, cash flows from operations and access to the capital markets, we believe there is sufficient liquidity to meet our funding requirements and service debt and other obligations in both

Currently, we have$708 million of cash and cash equivalents, resulting in available liquidity of approximately $2.0 billion, consisting of $1.2 billion of cash and $800 million of available credit facilities as disclosed in Note 11, "Credit Facilities and Debt", of our condensed consolidated financial statements. On October 1, 2021 our Senior Notes due 2021 were settled with cash on hand for a total of $600 million.

Non-U.S. Operations
We generated approximately 53%49% and 54% of our revenue from non-U.S. operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 56% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.respectively. As we continue to grow our operations in the emerging markets and elsewhere outside of the U.S., we expect to continue to generate significant revenue from non-U.S. operations and expect that a substantial portion of our cash will be held by our foreign subsidiaries. We expect to manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We may transfer cash from certain international subsidiaries to the U.S. and other international subsidiaries when we believe it is cost-effective to do so. We continually review our domestic and foreign cash profile and our, expected future cash generation and investment opportunities, and reassess whether there is a need to repatriate funds held internationally to support our U.S. operations. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, we have provided a deferred tax liability of $1$22 million for net foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes on $475$650 million of earnings expected to be repatriated to the U.S. parent as deemed necessary in the future.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and capital resources are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain, particularly at this time and moving forward given the uncertainty around the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and related macro economic conditions.uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 20212022 Annual Report describes the critical accounting estimates used in preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the information concerning our critical accounting estimates as stated in our 20212022 Annual Report.

Post-retirement Benefit Plans. As described in our 2021 Annual Report, the Company initiated the process for a full buy-out of its largest defined benefit plan in the U.K. in 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company purchased a bulk annuity policy as a plan asset to facilitate the termination and buy-out of the plan. The buyout was completed in September 2022, at which point the remaining benefit obligations were transferred to the insurer and we were relieved of any further obligation. As a result, we recorded a pension settlement charge of £123 million (approximately $140 million), primarily consisting of unrecognized actuarial losses. The settlement also resulted in the recognition of $23 million in net tax benefits. The settlement of the plan did not impact our cash position.

PART II

ITEM 1.             LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in legal and regulatory proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses (or the business operations of previously-owned entities). These proceedings may seek remedies relating to matters including environmental, tax, intellectual property, acquisitions or divestitures, product liability, property damage, personal injury, privacy, employment, labor and pension, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes. See Note 17,18, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information and any updates.

ITEM 1A.           RISK FACTORS
There have been noInformation regarding our risk factors appears in Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023 (“Annual Report”). These risk factors describe some of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, the following risk factors represent material changes from thein our risk factors previouslyfrom those disclosed in "ItemItem 1A. Risk Factors" of our 2021 Annual Report.

Wastewater treatment operations and the handling, storage, release or disposal of hazardous materials may result in contamination, environmental or other liabilities or pose other significant risks that could cause us to incur significant costs and reputational harm.

Wastewater treatment involves various unique risks. If our treatment systems fail or do not operate properly, or if there is a spill, untreated or partially treated wastewater could discharge onto property or into nearby bodies of water and groundwater, causing various damages and injuries, including environmental. Liabilities resulting from such events, damages and injuries could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Furthermore, certain of our business activities, including those of our ISS segment, include manufacturing processes and waste recycling and treatment processes that currently involve the use, treatment, storage, transfer, handling and/or disposal of hazardous materials, chemicals, and wastes. These business activities create a risk of accidental contamination or injury to our employees, customers and other third parties, the general public (as end-users of our industrial and municipal customers’ products and services), and the environment. As such, these activities create a risk of significant legal and environmental liabilities and reputational damage. For example, under applicable environmental laws and regulations, including RCRA and CERCLA, we could be strictly, jointly, and severally liable for releases of regulated substances by us at our current or former properties or the properties of others or by other businesses that previously owned or used our current or former properties. We could also be liable or incur reputational damage if we merely generate hazardous materials or wastes, or arrange for their transportation, disposal, or treatment, or we transport such materials, and they are subsequently released or cause harm.

In the event that our business activities and wastewater treatment operations result in legal or environmental claims, damage or liabilities, including those described above, we could incur significant costs or reputational damage in connection with legal defense, investigation and remediation of environmental contamination, and damages related to property damage, personal injuries and natural resources. Such costs and liabilities could exceed any applicable insurance coverage we may have.

Additionally, we are subject to, on an ongoing basis, federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous materials and specified waste products. The cost of compliance with these laws and regulations may become significant and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

If we are unable to successfully execute large projects and meet customers’ timelines and performance and safety requirements, this could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.

A portion of our revenue is derived from large projects that are technically complex and may occur over multiple years. These projects are subject to a number of significant risks, including project delays, cost overruns, changes

in scope, unanticipated site conditions, design and engineering issues, incorrect cost assumptions, increases in the cost of materials and labor, health and safety hazards, subcontractor performance issues, weather issues and changes in laws or permitting requirements. If we are unable to manage these risks, we may incur higher costs, liquidated damages, and other liabilities to our customers, which may decrease our profitability and harm our reputation.

Furthermore, our project-based customers typically require performance guarantees as to the effluent water produced by our water treatment equipment and services. Failure of our products and services to meet our performance guarantees may increase costs by requiring additional engineering, replacement of parts and equipment and frequent replacement of consumables, or monetary reimbursement to a customer, and could otherwise result in liability to our customers. There are significant uncertainties and judgments involved in estimating performance guarantee obligations, including changing product designs, differences in customer installation processes and failure to identify or disclaim certain variables in a customer’s influent. To the extent that we incur substantial performance guarantee claims in any period, our reputation, earnings, and ability to obtain future business could be materially adversely affected.

Many of our customers also have safety performance requirements that we must meet in order to be allowed access to their sites to perform our services, install our products and execute projects. Risks arising from unsafe products or performance by our employees include, among other things, delays in or suspension of site access to service or timely deliver our products. Workplace accidents or near-accidents, product-related accidents, or the failure to follow our own or our customers’ safety policies could also damage our reputation or our customers’ perception of our safety record, which could have a material adverse impact on demand for our products and services, result in additional costs to our business or the loss of customers, result in litigation against us or increase government or regulatory oversight over us.
