(referred to herein as the “Company” or “EWT”) is a holding company and does not conduct any business operations of its own. The Company was incorporated on October 7, 2013. On January 15, 2014, the Company acquired, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, EWT Holdings II Corp. (“EWT II”) and EWT Holdings III Corp. (“EWT III”), Siemens Water Technologies, a group of legal entities formerly owned by Siemens AG (“Siemens”). The stock purchase closed on January 15, 2014 and was effective January 16, 2014 (the “Acquisition”). On November 6, 2017, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”). On December 4, 2020, the Company completed a secondary public offering, pursuant to which 12,000 shares of common stock were sold by certain selling shareholders. On February 11, 2021, the Company completed an additional secondary public offering, pursuant to which 16,383 shares of common stock were sold by certain selling shareholders. Upon completion of these offerings, AEA Investors LP disposed of all of their shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders in either of these secondary public offerings. The Business EWT provides a wide range of product brands and advanced water and wastewater treatment systems and technologies, as well as mobile and emergency water supply solutions and service contract options through its branch network. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, EWT is a multinational corporation with operations in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada, the United Kingdom (“UK”), the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, the People’s Republic of China, Singapore, the Republic of Korea and India. The Company is organizationally structured into two reportable operating segments for the purpose of making operational decisions and assessing financial performance: (i) Integrated Solutions and Services and (ii) Applied Product Technologies. Basis of Presentation The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar and share amounts in these notes are referred to in thousands. The interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, as filed with the SEC on November 20, 2020 (“2020 Annual Report”), in preparing these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, with the exception of accounting standard updates described in Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements.” These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in our 2020 Annual Report. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Correction of Immaterial Errors During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company identified errors related to the reporting of tax remittances associated with certain equity awards, resulting in a classification error of $18,669 between additional paid in capital and accumulated other comprehensive loss. Management recorded the correction to additional paid in capital and accumulated other comprehensive balances during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Management considered both the quantitative and qualitative factors within the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality , and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements . Based on evaluation of the errors, management has concluded that the prior period errors were immaterial to the previously issued financial statements. As a result of that classification error, management also identified a second, related immaterial classification error for the understatement of net cash provided by operating cash flows of $18,669 and an overstatement of net cash provided by financing activities of $18,669 for the period from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020. The Company has elected to voluntarily correct the identified immaterial classification error in the prior period Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Changes to Cash Flows to enhance comparability. In doing so, balances in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Changes to Cash Flows included in this Form 10-Q have been adjusted to reflect the voluntary immaterial classification error correction of $18,182 between financing and operating in the prior period. Future filings that include prior periods will be corrected, as needed, when filed. The correction of the above classification errors did not have any effect on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations in any of the periods previously presented.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which was amended by the subsequent issuance in January 2021 of ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”). ASU 2020-04 became effective immediately and expires on December 21, 2022. ASU 2020-04 allows eligible contracts that are modified to be accounted for as a continuation of those contracts, permits companies to preserve their hedging accounting during the transition period and enables companies to make a one-time election to transfer or sell held-to-maturity debt securities that are affected by rate reform. ASU 2021-01 provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on October 1, 2020 (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that reflects expected credit losses, including credit losses related to trade receivables, and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates, which generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 us ing a modified retrospective approach and determined that there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to its beginning Retained deficit on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of this standard did not hav e a material impact on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 7, “Accounts Receivable” for further details and related disclosures. The following accounting pronouncements were adopted by the Company on October 1, 2020, and the adoptions did not have a material impact on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures: Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808) Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Subtopic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entity Disclosure	Variable Interest Entities Treated Water Outsourcing (“TWO”) is a joint venture between the Company and Nalco Water, an Ecolab company, in which the Company holds a 50% partnership interest. The Company is obligated to absorb all risk of loss up to 100% of the joint venture partner’s equity. As such, the Company fully consolidates TWO as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under ASC Topic No. 810, Consolidation . The Company has not provided, and is not contractually required to provide, additional financial support to this entity, and the Company does not have the ability to use the assets of TWO to settle obligations of the Company’s other subsidiaries. The following provides a summary of TWO’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and summarized financial information for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. June 30, September 30, Current assets (includes cash of $1,580 and $2,088) $ 3,529 $ 4,016 Property, plant and equipment 963 1,145 Goodwill 2,206 2,206 Total liabilities (1,287) (1,324) Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Total revenue $ 843 $ 1,328 $ 2,511 $ 5,180 Total operating expenses (748) (803) (2,217) (3,847) Income from operations $ 95 $ 525 $ 294 $ 1,333 On October 1, 2019, the Company acquired a 60% investment position in San Diego-based Frontier Water Systems, LLC (“Frontier”). The Frontier acquisition is a VIE because it has insufficient equity to finance its activities due to key assets being assigned to the Company upon acquisition. The Company is the primary beneficiary of Frontier because the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect Frontier’s economic performance. In addition, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the remaining 40% interest in Frontier on or prior to March 30, 2024. This agreement (a) gave holders of the remaining 40% interest in Frontier (the “Minority Owners”) the right to sell to Evoqua up to approximately 10% of the outstanding equity in Frontier at a predetermined price, which right was exercisable by the Minority Owners between January 1, 2021 and February 28, 2021 (the “Option”), and (b) obligates the Company to purchase and the Minority Owners to sell all of the Minority Owners’ remaining interest in Frontier at the fair market value at the time of sale on or prior to March 30, 2024 (the “Purchase Right”). The Purchase Right may be exercised early by the Minority Owners. The agreement to purchase the remaining interest was determined to be financing due to the mandatory Purchase Right, as per ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity , and as such, the Company recognized a liability for the remaining 40% interest. The Minority Owners exercised the Option, and on April 8, 2021, the Company completed the purchase of an additional 8% of the outstanding equity in Frontier for approximately $1,490. As a result, the Company’s ownership position in Frontier increased to 68%. Additionally, the Company fully consolidates Frontier as a VIE under ASC Topic No. 810, Consolidation . The following provides a summary of Frontier’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, and summarized financial information for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Revenue

Revenue	9 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]	Revenue Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes sales of products and services based on the five-step analysis of transactions as provided in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“Topic 606”). For all contracts with customers, the Company first identifies the contract which usually is established when the customer’s purchase order is accepted or acknowledged. Next, the Company identifies the performance obligations in the contract. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. The Company then determines the transaction price in the arrangement and allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract. The Company’s allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations is based on the relative standalone selling prices for the goods and services contained in a particular performance obligation. The transaction price is adjusted for the Company’s estimate of variable consideration, which may include discounts if the Company would fail to meet certain performance requirements, volume discounts or early payment discounts. To estimate variable consideration, the Company utilizes historical experience and known terms. Variable consideration in contracts for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 was insignificant. For sales of aftermarket parts or products with a low level of customization and engineering time, the Company recognizes revenue at the time risks and rewards of ownership pass, which is generally when products are shipped or delivered to the customer as the Company has no obligation for installation. The Company considers shipping and handling services to be fulfillment activities and as such they do not represent separate performance obligations for revenue recognition. Sales of service arrangements are recognized as the services are performed. For certain arrangements where there is significant customization to the product and for long-term construction-type sales contracts, revenue may be recognized over time. In these instances, revenue is recognized using a measure of progress that applies an input method based on costs incurred in relation to total estimated costs. These arrangements include large capital water treatment projects, and systems and solutions for municipal and industrial applications. The nature of the contracts is generally fixed price with milestone billings. In order for revenue to be recognized over a period of time, the product must have no alternative use and the Company must have an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date, including a normal profit margin, in the event of termination for convenience. If these two criteria are not met, revenue from these contracts will not be recognized until construction is complete. Contract revenue and cost estimates are reviewed and revised quarterly at a minimum and the cumulative effect of such adjustments are recognized in current operations. The amount of such adjustments has not been material. The Company has made accounting policy elections to exclude all taxes by governmental authorities from the measurement of the transaction price and that long-term construction-type sales contracts, or those contracts for products with significant customization that the total contract price is less than $100, will be recorded at the point in time when the construction is complete. Performance Obligations The Company elects to apply the practical expedient to exclude from this disclosure revenue related to performance obligations if the product has an alternative use and the Company does not have an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date, including a normal profit margin, in the event of termination for convenience. The Company maintains a backlog of confirmed orders, which totaled approximately $250,887 at June 30, 2021. This backlog represents the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period. The Company estimates that the majority of these performance obligations will be satisfied within the next twelve The recording of assets recognized from the costs to obtain and fulfill customer contracts primarily relates to the deferral of sales commissions. The Company’s costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer are classified as non-current assets and amortized to expense over the period of benefit of the related revenue. These costs are recorded within Cost of product sales and services. The amount of contract costs was insignificant at June 30, 2021. The Company offers standard warranties that generally do not represent a separate performance obligation. In certain instances, a warranty is obtained separately from the original equipment sale or the warranty provides incremental services and as such is treated as a separate performance obligation. Disaggregation of Revenue In accordance with Topic 606, the Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into source of revenue, reportable operating segment and geographical regions. The Company determined that disaggregating revenue into these categories meets the disclosure objective in Topic 606, which is to depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurement	Fair Value Measurements As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate carrying values due to the short maturity of these items. The Company measures the fair value of pension plan assets and liabilities, deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities on a recurring basis pursuant to ASC Topic No. 820, Fair Value Measurement . ASC Topic No. 820 establishes a three‑tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model‑derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value driver is observable. Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data is available, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The fair values related to the pension plan assets are determined using net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient, or by information categorized in the fair value hierarchy level based on the inputs used to determine fair value. The reported carrying amounts of deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities and debt approximate their fair values. The Company uses interest rates and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar instruments to fair value these assets and liabilities, therefore all are classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. Net Asset Value Quoted Market Significant Other Significant As of June 30, 2021 Assets: Pension plan Cash $ — $ 448 $ — $ — Global Multi-Asset Fund 15,303 — — — Government Securities 2,557 — — — Liability Driven Investment 5,930 — — — Guernsey Unit Trust 2,381 — — — Global Absolute Return 2,275 — — — Deferred compensation plan assets Cash — 1,240 — — Mutual Funds — 17,964 — — Interest rate swaps — — 2,443 — Foreign currency forward contracts — — 59 — Liabilities: Pension plan — — (48,524) — Deferred compensation plan liabilities — — (23,980) — Long‑term debt — — (799,922) — Interest rate swap — — (376) — Foreign currency forward contracts — — (120) — Commodity swaps (16) Earn-outs related to acquisitions — — — (1,056) Purchase Right — — — (6,249) As of September 30, 2020 Assets: Pension plan Cash $ — $ 15,061 $ — $ — Government Securities 4,924 — — — Liability Driven Investment 3,604 — — — Guernsey Unit Trust 1,881 — — — Global Absolute Return 2,060 — — — Deferred compensation plan assets Trust Assets — 55 — — Insurance — — 19,804 — Foreign currency forward contracts — — 140 — Liabilities: Pension plan — — (47,389) — Deferred compensation plan liabilities — — (21,439) — Long‑term debt — — (872,441) — Interest rate swap — — (4,669) — Foreign currency forward contracts — — (47) — Earn-outs related to acquisitions — — — (295) Option and Purchase Right — — — (7,739) The pension plan assets and liabilities and deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities are included in Other non‑current assets and Other non‑current liabilities at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020. The unrealized gain on mutual funds was $532 at June 30, 2021. The Company records contingent consideration arrangements at fair value on a recurring basis, and the associated balances presented as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 are earn-outs related to acquisitions. The fair value of earn-outs related to acquisitions is based on significant unobservable inputs including the achievement of certain performance metrics. Significant changes in these inputs would result in corresponding increases or decreases in the fair value of the earn-out each period until the related contingency has been resolved. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations can result from adjustments in the probability of achieving future development steps, sales targets and profitability and are recorded in General and administrative expenses in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a liability of $761 associated with an earn-out related to the WCSI acquisition, which is included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no other changes in the fair value of earn-outs related to acquisitions. As of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, earn-outs related to acquisitions totaled $1,056 and are included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Receivables [Abstract]
Accounts receivable	Accounts Receivable All trade receivables are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the outstanding principal amount adjusted for any allowance for credit losses and any charge offs. The Company provides an allowance for credit losses to reduce trade receivables to their estimated net realizable value equal to the amount that is expected to be collected. This allowance is estimated based on historical collection experience, the aging of receivables, specific current and expected future macro-economic and market conditions, and assessments of the current creditworthiness and economic status of customers. The Company considers a receivable delinquent if it is unpaid after the term of the related invoice has expired. Write‑offs are recorded at the time all collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company reviews its allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis. Accounts receivable are summarized as follows: June 30, September 30, Accounts receivable $ 250,608 $ 264,536 Allowance for credit losses (3,989) (4,057) Receivables, net $ 246,619 $ 260,479 The movement in the allowance for credit losses was as follows for the nine months ended June 30, 2021: Balance at September 30, 2020 $ (4,057) Charged to costs and expenses (460) Write-offs 562 Foreign currency and other (34) Balance at June 30, 2021 $ (3,989)

(2) In November 2020, the Company paid off the outstanding balance of the mortgage due June 30, 2028. 2014 Credit Agreement On January 15, 2014, EWT III entered into a First Lien Credit Agreement (as modified, amended or supplemented from time to time, the “2014 Credit Agreement”) and a Second Lien Credit Agreement among EWT III, EWT II, the lenders party thereto and Credit Suisse AG as administrative agent and collateral agent. The term loans outstanding under the Second Lien Credit Agreement were prepaid on October 28, 2016. The 2014 Credit Agreement also made available to the Company a revolving credit facility (the “ 2014 Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $125,000, with a letter of credit sublimit of up to $45,000. The term loan outstanding under the 2014 Credit Agreement (the “2014 Term Loan”) was scheduled to mature on December 20, 2024, and the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on December 20, 2022. As described below, on April 1, 2021, we completed a refinancing of the outstanding 2014 Term Loan and terminated the 2014 Credit Agreement. 2021 Credit Agreement On April 1, 2021, EWT III entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) among EWT III, as borrower, EWT II, as parent guarantor, the lenders from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and ING Capital, LLC, as sustainability coordinator. The 2021 Credit Agreement provides for a multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the U.S. dollar equivalent of $350,000 (the “2021 Revolving Credit Facility”) and a discounted senior secured term (the “2021 Term Loan”) in the amount of $475,000 (together with the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Facilities”). The 2021 Credit Agreement also provides for a letter of credit sub-facility not to exceed $60,000. The Senior Facilities are guaranteed by EWT II and certain existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of EWT III (together with EWT III, collectively, the “Loan Parties”), and collateralized by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of the Loan Parties, with certain exceptions. In connection with entering into the 2021 Credit Agreement, on April 1, 2021, EWT III repaid all outstanding indebtedness under the 2014 Credit Agreement and terminated that facility. The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants, each substantially similar to those included in the 2014 Credit Agreement, including, among other things, a springing maximum first lien leverage ratio of 5.55 to 1.00. The Company did not exceed this ratio during the three months ended June 30, 2021, does not anticipate exceeding this ratio during the year ending September 30, 2021, and therefore does not anticipate any additional repayments during the year ending September 30, 2021. In addition, the Company did not exceed this ratio as noted in the 2014 Credit Agreement during the six months ended March 31, 2021. With respect to the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, EWT III is required to pay a commitment fee based on the daily unused portion of the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, as well as certain other fees to the agents and the arrangers under the Senior Facilities. Amounts outstanding under the Senior Facilities, at EWT III’s option, bear interest at either (i) a Base Rate determined in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement, (ii) with respect to any amounts denominated in U.S. dollars or Sterling, LIBOR, or replacement thereof, as determined in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement, or (iii) with respect to amounts denominated in Euros, the EURIBOR, or replacement thereof, as determined in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement. In the case of the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility, an applicable margin based on the consolidated total leverage of EWT III and its restricted subsidiaries, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement, will be added to the interest rate elected by EWT III; provided that the interest rate may be adjusted if EWT III meets certain metrics for a sustainability price adjustment prior to December 31, 2021. In the case of the 2021 Term Loan, a fixed applicable margin, calculated in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement, will be added to the interest rate elected by EWT III. On April 1, 2021, EWT III borrowed the full amount of $475,000 under the 2021 Term Loan and $105,000 under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2021 Term Loan was issued at a discount of $2,375, which is recorded as a contra-liability to the carrying amount of debt issued, and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. The net proceeds of these borrowings under the Senior Facilities, together with the net proceeds of the Receivables Securitization Program (as defined below) and cash on hand, were used to repay all outstanding indebtedness, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $814,538, under the 2014 Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility may also be used to finance or refinance the working capital and capital expenditures needs of EWT III and certain of its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes. The 2021 Term Loan matures on April 1, 2028 and requires quarterly principal payments of $1,188 starting in the fourth quarter of 2021. Subject to the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement, to the extent not previously paid, any amount owed under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility will become due and payable in full on April 1, 2026. At June 30, 2021, the Company had (a) $475,000 outstanding under the 2021 Term Loan at an interest rate of 2.63%, comprised of 0.13% LIBOR plus the 2.50% spread, and (b) $95,000 outstanding under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility at an interest rate of 2.38%, comprised of 0.13% LIBOR plus the 2.25% spread. The following table summarizes the amount of the Company’s outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2021, and under the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2020. June 30, September 30, Borrowing availability $ 350,000 $ 125,000 Outstanding borrowings 95,000 — Outstanding letters of credit 11,504 12,963 Unused amounts $ 243,496 $ 112,037 Additional letters of credit under a separate arrangement $ — $ 52 Receivables Securitization Program On April 1, 2021, Evoqua Finance LLC (“Evoqua Finance”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Receivables Securitization Program”) consisting of, among other agreements, (i) a Receivables Financing Agreement (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) among Evoqua Finance, as the borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Receivables Financing Lenders”), PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”), as administrative agent, Evoqua Water Technologies LLC (“EWT LLC”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as initial servicer, and PNC Capital Markets LLC (“PNC Markets”), as structuring agent, pursuant to which the lenders have made available to Evoqua Finance a receivables finance facility (the “Securitization Facility”) in an amount up to $150,000 and (ii) a Sale and Contribution Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) among Evoqua Finance, as purchaser, EWT LLC, as initial servicer and as an originator, and Neptune Benson, Inc., an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as an originator (together with EWT LLC, the “Originators”). Under the Receivables Securitization Program, the Originators, pursuant to the Sale Agreement, are required to sell substantially all of their domestic trade receivables and certain related rights to payment and obligations of the Originators with respect to such receivables (the “Receivables”) to Evoqua Finance, which, in turn, will obtain loans secured by the Receivables from the Receivables Financing Lenders pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement. The Receivables underlying any borrowings will continue to be included in Accounts receivable, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company. On April 1, 2021, Evoqua Finance borrowed $142,200 under the Securitization Facility. During the third quarter of 2021, Evoqua Finance borrowed an additional amount under the Securitization Facility and had $148,151 outstanding at June 30, 2021 which includes $51 of accrued interest. The Receivables Securitization Program contains certain customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants, subject to certain cure periods in some cases, including the eligibility of the Receivables being sold by the Originators and securing the loans made by the Receivables Financing Lenders, as well as customary reserve requirements, events of default, termination events, and servicer defaults. The Company was in compliance with all covenants during the three months ended June 30, 2021, does not anticipate becoming noncompliant during the year ending September 30, 2021, and therefore does not anticipate any additional repayments during the year ending September 30, 2021. The Receivables Financing Lenders under the Receivables Securitization Program receive interest at LIBOR or LMIR as selected by Evoqua Finance. The Receivables Financing Agreement contains customary LIBOR benchmark replacement language. The interest rate on the Securitization Facility was 1.35% as of June 30, 2021, comprised of 0.10% LIBOR plus the 1.25% spread. The Receivables Securitization Program matures on April 1, 2024.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	Derivative Financial Instruments Interest Rate Risk Management The Company is subject to market risk exposure arising from changes in interest rates on the senior secured credit facilities as well as variable rate equipment financings, which bear interest at rates that are indexed against LIBOR. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to mitigate its exposure to rising interest rates. To accomplish these objectives, on June 30, 2021, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with an effective date of August 1, 2022 to mitigate risk associated with a variable rate equipment financing. The interest rate swap provides for a fixed rate of 5.25%, has a notional amount of $31,000 and a term of seven years. The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge. On May 22, 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap to mitigate risks associated with variable rate debt. The interest rate swap became effective on June 30, 2020, has a term of five years to hedge the variability of interest payments on the first $500,000 of the Company’s senior secured debt and fixes LIBOR on this portion of the senior secured debt at 0.55%. The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge. Foreign Currency Risk Management The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. By operating internationally, the Company is subject to foreign currency risk from transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (“foreign currencies”). To mitigate cross-currency transaction risk, the Company analyzes significant exposures where it has receipts or payments in a currency other than the functional currency of its operations, and from time to time may strategically enter into short-term foreign currency forward contracts to lock in some or all of the cash flows associated with these transactions. The Company is also subject to currency translation risk associated with converting the foreign operations’ financial statements into U.S. dollars. The Company uses foreign currency derivative contracts in order to manage the effect of exchange fluctuations on forecasted sales and purchases that are denominated in foreign currencies. To mitigate the impact of foreign exchange rate risk, the Company entered into a series of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2021, the notional amount of the forward contracts held to sell foreign currencies was $7,392. Commodity Price Risk Management The Company is subject to changes in index pricing of platinum. To mitigate price risk of certain platinum purchase contracts, the Company has entered into a financially settled platinum swap designated as a cash flow hedge. Credit Risk Management The counterparties to the Company’s derivative contracts are highly-rated financial institutions. The Company regularly reviews the creditworthiness of its financial counterparties and fully expects the counterparties to perform under their respective agreements. The Company is not subject to any obligations to post collateral under derivative instrument contracts. The Company records all derivative instruments on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accordingly, there are no offsetting amounts that net assets against liabilities. Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges The Company accounts for derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with ASC Topic No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“Topic No. 815”). As required by Topic No. 815, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value and adjusts to market on a quarterly basis. The Company’s interest rate swaps are valued based on readily-observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates and LIBOR yield curves at the reporting date. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are valued based on quoted forward foreign exchange prices and spot rates at the reporting date. The Company’s platinum swap is valued using the LBMA Platinum Price PM Index at the reporting date . For a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax (“AOCI”) until the hedged item affects earnings. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The following represents the fair value recorded for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the periods presented: Asset Derivatives Balance Sheet Location June 30, September 30, Interest rate swaps Prepaid and other current assets $ 2,443 $ — Foreign currency forward contracts Prepaid and other current assets 48 133 Liability Derivatives Balance Sheet Location June 30, September 30, Interest rate swaps Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 376 $ 4,669 Foreign currency forward contracts Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 113 47 Commodity swaps Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 16 — The following represents the amount of (loss) gain recognized in AOCI (net of tax) during the periods presented: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Interest rate swaps $ (4,157) $ (3,258) $ 5,111 $ (3,258) Interest rate cap — (20) — (19) Foreign currency forward contracts 67 10 (265) (150) Commodity swaps (16) — (16) — $ (4,106) $ (3,268) $ 4,830 $ (3,427) The following represents the amount of gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into earnings during the periods presented: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Location of (Loss) Gain 2021 2020 2021 2020 Cost of product sales and services $ 9 $ (2) $ (4) $ (8) General and administrative expense — 48 (72) $ 78 Selling and marketing expense — — (39) 28 Interest expense (591) — (1,624) — $ (582) $ 46 $ (1,739) $ 98 Based on the fair value amounts of the Company’s cash flow hedges at June 30, 2021, the Company expects that approximately $56 of pre-tax net losses will be reclassified from AOCI into earnings during the next twelve months.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee benefit plans	Employee Benefit Plans The Company maintains multiple employee benefit plans. Certain of the Company’s employees in the UK were participants in a Siemens defined benefit plan established for employees of a UK-based operation acquired by Siemens in 2004. The plan was frozen with respect to future service credits for active employees, however the benefit formula recognized future compensation increases. The Company agreed to establish a replacement defined benefit plan, with the assets of the Siemens scheme transferring to the new scheme on April 1, 2015. The Company’s employees in Germany also participate in a defined benefit plan. Assets equaling the plan’s accumulated benefit obligation were transferred to a German defined benefit plan sponsored by the Company upon the acquisition of EWT from Siemens. The German entity also sponsors a defined benefit plan for a small group of employees located in France. The components of net periodic benefit cost for the plans were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Service cost $ 287 $ 259 $ 858 $ 779 Interest cost 81 67 240 203 Expected return on plan assets (88) (30) (262) (89) Amortization of actuarial losses 266 235 640 706 Pension expense for defined benefit plans $ 546 $ 531 $ 1,476 $ 1,599 The components of pension expense, other than the service cost component which is included in General and administrative expense, are included in the line item Other operating expense in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The income tax provision for interim periods is comprised of tax on ordinary income (loss) provided at the most recent projected annual effective tax rate (“PAETR”), adjusted for the tax effect of discrete items. Management estimates the PAETR each quarter based on the forecasted annual pretax income or (loss). The Company is required to reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on all available evidence, it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the benefit of the deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. The Company also records the income tax impact of certain discrete, unusual or infrequently occurring items including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. When a company maintains a valuation allowance in a particular jurisdiction, no net deferred income tax expense or (benefit) will typically be provided. Jurisdictions with projected income that maintain a valuation allowance typically will form part of the PAETR calculation discussed above. However, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year that maintain a valuation allowance are excluded from the PAETR calculation. Instead, the income tax for these jurisdictions is computed separately. The actual year-to-date income tax expense (benefit) is the product of the most current PAETR and the actual year-to-date pretax income (loss) adjusted for any discrete tax items. The income tax expense (benefit) for a particular quarter, except for the first quarter, is the difference between the year-to-date calculation of income tax expense (benefit) and the year-to-date calculation for the prior quarter. Items unrelated to current period ordinary income or (loss) are recognized entirely in the period identified as a discrete item of tax. Discrete items generally relate to changes in tax laws, adjustments to prior period’s actual liability determined upon filing tax returns, and adjustments to previously recorded reserves for uncertain tax positions, initially recording or fully reversing valuation allowances. The inclusion of discrete items in a particular quarter can cause the actual effective rate for that quarter to vary significantly from the PAETR. Therefore, the actual effective income tax rate for a particular quarter can vary significantly based upon the jurisdictional mix and timing of actual earnings compared to projected annual earnings, permanent items, earnings for those jurisdictions that maintain a valuation allowance, tax associated with jurisdictions excluded from the PAETR calculation and discrete items. Annual Effective Tax Rate The updated PAETR, which excludes the impact of discrete items, was 19.7% and 3.9% as of the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the PAETR was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the impact of maintaining a U.S. valuation allowance that is provided on U.S. deferred tax assets offset by changes in the mix of earnings between countries, some of which have higher statutory rates, and it is higher than the prior year’s rate which included the impact of the sale of the Memcor product line and the impact on deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite lived intangibles, a portion of which was reversed in relation to the sale of the Memcor product line. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets (excluding the tax effects of deferred tax liabilities associated with indefinite lived intangibles) for the period ending June 30, 2021 as a result of pretax losses incurred since the Company’s inception in early 2014. The Company reported positive U.S. pre-tax earnings for the first time in 2017 and again in 2020 and is projecting positive pre-tax earnings in 2021, however, the Company generated pre-tax losses in all other years. The Company was in a three-year cumulative loss position at September 30, 2019, but was no longer in a three-year cumulative loss position at September 30, 2020. The Company believes it is prudent to retain a valuation allowance until a more consistent pattern of earnings is established and net operating loss carryforwards begin to be utilized. Current and Prior Period Tax Expense For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized income tax expense of $3,887 on pretax income of $17,086. The rate of 22.7% differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the impact of higher earnings in non-U.S. tax jurisdictions, some with higher statutory rates, which increases overall tax expense, and lower earnings in the U.S., which does not impact tax expense due to the U.S. valuation allowance. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized income tax expense of $740 on pretax income of $22,581. The rate of 3.3% differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the favorable impact to the PAETR of the gain on the sale of the Memcor product line which did not generate significant tax expense due to the combination of the U.S. valuation allowance and favorable foreign tax regimes, as well as the favorable impact of the reversal of a portion of deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite lived intangibles. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized income tax expense of $7,672 on pretax income of $32,430. The rate of 23.7% differed from the statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the unfavorable impact of discrete items related to an adjustment for prior periods and recording an uncertain tax position related to a tax audit in a foreign jurisdiction, as well as the impact of higher earnings in non-U.S. tax jurisdictions, which increases overall tax expense, and lower earnings in the U.S., which does not impact tax expense due to the U.S. valuation allowance. For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized income tax expense of $3,336 on pretax income of $86,593. The rate of 3.9% differed from the statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the gain on the sale of the Memcor product line, which did not generate significant tax expense due to the combination of the U.S. valuation allowance and favorable foreign tax regimes, as well as the favorable impact of the reversal of a portion of deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite lived intangibles.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation	9 Months Ended

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation The Company designs equity compensation plans to attract and retain employees while also aligning employees’ interests with the interests of the Company’s shareholders. In addition, members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) participate in equity compensation plans in connection with their service on the Board. The Company established the Evoqua Water Technologies Corp. Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) shortly after the acquisition date of January 16, 2014 . The plan allows certain management employees and the Board to purchase shares in the Company. Under the Stock Option Plan, the number of shares available for award was 11,083. As of June 30, 2021, there were approximately 2,177 shares available for future grants, however, the Company does not currently intend to make additional grants under the Stock Option Plan. In connection with the IPO, the Board adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the Evoqua Water Technologies Corp. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”), under which equity awards may be granted in the form of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, share awards and performance-based awards (including performance share units and performance-based restricted stock). Upon adoption of the Equity Incentive Plan, 5,100 shares of common stock of the Company were reserved for issuance thereunder. On February 18, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Equity Incentive Plan in order to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 5,000 shares and incorporate other changes. On May 18, 2021 (the “Grant Date”), the Compensation Committee of the Board approved and the Company granted special one-time awards of 234 restricted stock units (“Special RSUs”) and 469 performance share units (“Special PSUs”) under the Equity Incentive Plan to certain executive officers of the Company. Subject to the applicable executive officer’s continued employment with the Company and the terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan and the related award agreement, the Special RSUs will vest ratably over a three-year period on each annual anniversary of the Grant Date, and the Special PSUs will be earned incrementally in three tranches of 25%, 25%, and 50% after one-, two-, and three-year performance periods, respectively, and will cumulatively be paid, if earned, after the end of the three-year performance period ending on May 18, 2024, based on the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) compared to peer water companies, including certain U.S.-listed companies included in the S&P Global Water Index (the “Peer Companies”). Each tranche of the Special PSUs reflects the right to receive between 50% and 100% of the shares underlying such tranche based on the Company’s TSR as compared to the Peer Companies (“Relative TSR”) for the applicable performance period. Subject to certain exceptions provided in the award agreements in the event of death, disability, or change in control, for each tranche, Special PSUs will be earned as follows: 100% if Relative TSR for the period is at the 80th percentile or above; 50% if Relative TSR for the period is at the 60th percentile; and 0% if Relative TSR is below the 60th percentile. Linear interpolation will be used to determine the percentage of each tranche earned when Relative TSR is between the 60th percentile and the 80th percentile for the applicable performance period. The payout for each tranche of the Special PSUs is capped at 100% even if Relative TSR exceeds the 80th percentile for the applicable period. If the Company’s TSR is negative for any performance period, the number of Special PSUs that may vest for the corresponding tranche will be capped at 50% of the amount that otherwise would have been earned for the period. As of June 30, 2021, there were approximately 4,336 shares available for grants under the Equity Incentive Plan. Option awards are granted at various times during the year, vest ratably at 25% per year, and are exercisable at the time of vesting. The options granted have a ten A summary of the stock option activity as of June 30, 2021 is presented below: (In thousands, except per share amounts) Options Weighted Average Exercise Price/Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at September 30, 2020 7,430 $ 10.30 5.9 years $ 83,152 Granted 611 24.76 Exercised (2,548) 6.50 Forfeited (42) 20.70 Outstanding at June 30, 2021 5,450 $ 13.61 6.1 years $ 109,936 Options exercisable at June 30, 2021 3,505 $ 9.66 4.9 years $ 84,548 Options vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2021 5,388 $ 13.50 6.1 years $ 109,276 The total intrinsic value of options exercised (which is the amount by which the stock price exceeded the exercise price of the options on the date of exercise) during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 was $51,448.

The Company received $18,096 from the exercise of stock options during the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Effective October 1, 2018, the Company implemented an employee stock purchase plan (the “ESPP”) which allows employees to purchase shares of the Company’s stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value on the first day of the applicable offering period or on the last business day of a six

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk	9 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2021
Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration of credit risk	Concentration of Credit RiskThe Company’s cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from customers located in the U.S. and internationally and generally do not require collateral. The Company’s trade receivables do not represent a significant concentration of credit risk at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 due to the wide variety of customers and markets into which products are sold and their dispersion across geographic areas. The Company does perform ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses on trade receivables. As of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, no customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales or net accounts receivable.The Company operates predominantly in ten countries worldwide and provides a wide range of proven product brands and advanced water and wastewater treatment technologies, mobile and emergency water supply solutions, and service contract options through its Integrated Solutions and Services and Applied Product Technologies segments. The Company is a multi-national business but its sales and operations are primarily in the U.S. Sales to unaffiliated customers are based on the Company locations that maintain the customer relationship and transact the external sale.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Guarantees From time to time, the Company is required to provide letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds in support of its commitments and as part of the terms and conditions on water treatment projects. In addition, the Company is required to provide letters of credit or surety bonds to the Department of Environmental Protection or equivalent in some states in order to maintain its licenses to handle toxic substances at certain of its water treatment facilities. These financial instruments typically expire after all Company commitments have been met, a period typically ranging from twelve months to ten years, or more in some circumstances. The letters of credit, bank guarantees, or surety bonds are arranged through major banks or insurance companies. In the case of surety bonds, the Company generally indemnifies the issuer for all costs incurred if a claim is made against the bond. The following summarizes the Company’s outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds as of June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. June 30, September 30, Revolving credit capacity $ 60,000 $ 45,000 Letters of credit outstanding 11,504 12,963 Remaining revolving credit capacity $ 48,496 $ 32,037 Surety capacity $ 250,000 $ 230,000 Surety issuances 141,837 152,990 Remaining surety available $ 108,163 $ 77,010 The longest maturity date of letters of credit and surety bonds in effect as of June 30, 2021 was March 20, 2030. Litigation From time to time, as a normal incident of the nature and kind of business in which the Company is engaged, various claims or charges are asserted and litigation is commenced against it arising from or related to: product liability; personal injury; trademarks, trade secrets, or other intellectual property; shareholder disputes; labor and employee disputes; commercial or contractual disputes; breach of warranty; or environmental matters. Claimed amounts may be substantial but may not bear any reasonable relationship to the merits of the claim or the extent of any real risk of court or arbitral awards. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these matters with certainty, and some lawsuits, claims or proceedings may be disposed or decided unfavorably, the Company does not expect that any asserted or un-asserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, or financial condition.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business segments	Business Segments The Company’s reportable operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The key factors used to identify these reportable operating segments are the organization and alignment of the Company’s internal operations, the nature of the products and services, and customer type. The Company has two reportable operating segments, Integrated Solutions and Services and Applied Product Technologies. The business segments are described as follows: Integrated Solutions and Services is a group entirely focused on engaging directly with end users through direct sales with a market vertical focus. Integrated Solutions and Services provides tailored services and solutions in collaboration with the customers backed by life‑cycle services including on‑demand water, outsourced water, recycle / reuse, and emergency response service alternatives to improve operational reliability, performance, and environmental compliance. Key offerings within this segment also include equipment systems for industrial needs (influent water, boiler feed water, ultrahigh purity, process water, wastewater treatment, and recycle / reuse), full-scale outsourcing of operations and maintenance, and municipal services, including odor and corrosion control services. Applied Product Technologies is focused on developing product platforms to be sold primarily through third party channels. This segment primarily engages in indirect sales through independent sales representatives, distributors, and aftermarket channels. Applied Product Technologies provides a range of highly differentiated and scalable products and technologies specified by global water treatment designers, original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), engineering firms, and integrators. Key offerings within this segment include filtration and separation, disinfection, wastewater solutions, anode and electrochlorination technology, and aquatics technologies and solutions for the global recreational and commercial pool market. Corporate activities include general corporate expenses, elimination of inter-segment transactions, interest income and expense, and certain other charges. Certain other charges may include restructuring and other business transformation charges that have been undertaken to align and reposition the Company to the current reporting structure, acquisition related costs (including transaction costs and certain integration costs,) and share-based compensation charges. Since certain administrative and other operating expenses and other items have not been allocated to business segments, the results in the below table are not necessarily a measure computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may not be comparable to other companies. Reportable operating segment revenue and operating profit for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2021 2020 2021 2020 Total revenue Integrated Solutions and Services $ 245,414 $ 230,314 $ 690,370 $ 702,938 Applied Product Technologies 149,434 136,350 419,122 404,303 Total revenue 394,848 366,664 1,109,492 1,107,241 Intersegment revenue Integrated Solutions and Services 5,727 1,603 11,832 8,204 Applied Product Technologies 19,440 17,234 59,222 53,442 Total intersegment revenue 25,167 18,837 71,054 61,646 Revenue to external customers Integrated Solutions and Services 239,687 228,711 678,538 694,734 Applied Product Technologies 129,994 119,116 359,900 350,861 Total revenue $ 369,681 $ 347,827 $ 1,038,438 $ 1,045,595 Operating profit (loss) Integrated Solutions and Services $ 37,793 $ 32,608 $ 94,934 $ 102,457 Applied Product Technologies 22,735 23,588 54,218 110,480 Corporate (32,218) (23,130) (88,430) (89,024) Total operating profit 28,310 33,066 60,722 123,913 Interest expense (11,224) (10,485) (28,292) (37,320) Income before income taxes 17,086 22,581 32,430 86,593 Income tax expense (3,887) (740) (7,672) (3,336) Net income $ 13,199 $ 21,841 $ 24,758 $ 83,257

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Unless otherwise specified, all dollar and share amounts in these notes are referred to in thousands. The interim Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included, and all adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, as filed with the SEC on November 20, 2020 (“2020 Annual Report”), in preparing these Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, with the exception of accounting standard updates described in Note 2, “Recent Accounting Pronouncements.” These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in our 2020 Annual Report. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent accounting pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which was amended by the subsequent issuance in January 2021 of ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”). ASU 2020-04 became effective immediately and expires on December 21, 2022. ASU 2020-04 allows eligible contracts that are modified to be accounted for as a continuation of those contracts, permits companies to preserve their hedging accounting during the transition period and enables companies to make a one-time election to transfer or sell held-to-maturity debt securities that are affected by rate reform. ASU 2021-01 provides optional expedients and exceptions for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on October 1, 2020 (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that reflects expected credit losses, including credit losses related to trade receivables, and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates, which generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 us ing a modified retrospective approach and determined that there was no cumulative-effect adjustment to its beginning Retained deficit on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of this standard did not hav e a material impact on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 7, “Accounts Receivable” for further details and related disclosures. The following accounting pronouncements were adopted by the Company on October 1, 2020, and the adoptions did not have a material impact on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures: Accounting Standards Updates ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808) Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Subtopic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
