Revenue Recognition	3. Revenue Recognition ​ The Company is a leading supplier of products and solutions that manage and conserve the flow of fluids and energy into, through and out of buildings in the commercial, industrial and residential markets. For nearly 150 years, the Company has designed and produced valve systems that safeguard and regulate water systems, energy efficient heating and hydronic systems, drainage systems and water filtration technology that helps purify and conserve water. ​ The Company distributes products through four primary distribution channels: wholesale, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), specialty, and do-it-yourself (DIY). The Company operates in three geographic segments: Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa (“APMEA”). Each of these segments sells similar products, which consist of the following principal product lines: ​ ● Residential & commercial flow control and protection products—includes products typically sold into plumbing and hot water applications such as backflow preventers, water pressure regulators, temperature and pressure relief valves, thermostatic mixing valves and leak detection and protection products. Many of our flow control and protection products are now smart and connected, warning of leaks and floods with alerts to Building Management Systems (BMS) and/or personal devices giving our customers greater insight into their water management and the ability to shut off the water supply to avoid waste and mitigate damage. ● HVAC & gas products—includes commercial high-efficiency boilers, water heaters and custom heat and hot water solutions, hydronic and electric heating systems for under-floor radiant applications, hydronic pump groups for boiler manufacturers and alternative energy control packages, and flexible stainless steel connectors for natural and liquid propane gas in commercial food service and residential applications. Most of our HVAC products feature advanced controls enabling customers to easily connect to the BMS for better monitoring, control and operation. HVAC is an acronym for heating, ventilation and air conditioning. ● Drainage & water re - use products—includes drainage products and engineered rain water harvesting solutions for commercial, industrial, marine and residential applications, including connected roof drain systems. ● Water quality products—includes point-of-use and point-of-entry water filtration, monitoring, conditioning and scale prevention systems for commercial, marine and residential applications. ​ The following table disaggregates revenue, which is presented as net sales in the financial statements, for each reportable segment, by distribution channel and principal product category: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the first quarter ended March 26, 2023 ​ ​ ​ ​ (in millions) ​ ​ Distribution Channel ​ Americas ​ Europe ​ APMEA ​ Consolidated Wholesale ​ $ 188.8 ​ $ 81.1 ​ $ 18.5 ​ $ 288.4 OEM ​ ​ 23.1 ​ 46.5 ​ 1.7 ​ 71.3 Specialty ​ ​ 90.5 ​ — ​ — ​ 90.5 DIY ​ 20.8 ​ 0.7 ​ — ​ 21.5 Total ​ $ 323.2 ​ $ 128.3 ​ $ 20.2 ​ $ 471.7 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the first quarter ended March 26, 2023 ​ ​ ​ ​ (in millions) ​ ​ Principal Product Category ​ Americas ​ Europe ​ APMEA ​ Consolidated Residential & Commercial Flow Control ​ $ 194.5 ​ $ 45.5 ​ $ 15.9 ​ $ 255.9 HVAC and Gas Products ​ ​ 78.2 ​ 62.3 ​ 3.4 ​ 143.9 Drainage and Water Re-use Products ​ ​ 22.8 ​ 19.6 ​ 0.7 ​ 43.1 Water Quality Products ​ 27.7 ​ 0.9 ​ 0.2 ​ 28.8 Total ​ $ 323.2 ​ $ 128.3 ​ $ 20.2 ​ $ 471.7 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the first quarter ended March 27, 2022 ​ ​ ​ ​ (in millions) ​ ​ Distribution Channel ​ Americas ​ Europe ​ APMEA ​ Consolidated Wholesale ​ $ 174.8 ​ $ 84.0 ​ $ 18.0 ​ $ 276.8 OEM ​ ​ 25.6 ​ 45.4 ​ 1.4 ​ 72.4 Specialty ​ ​ 93.8 ​ — ​ — ​ 93.8 DIY ​ 19.7 ​ 0.5 ​ — ​ 20.2 Total ​ $ 313.9 ​ $ 129.9 ​ $ 19.4 ​ $ 463.2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ For the first quarter ended March 27, 2022 ​ ​ ​ ​ (in millions) ​ ​ Principal Product Category ​ Americas ​ Europe ​ APMEA ​ Consolidated Residential & Commercial Flow Control ​ $ 178.1 ​ $ 46.1 ​ $ 15.8 ​ $ 240.0 HVAC and Gas Products ​ ​ 84.3 ​ 60.0 ​ 2.5 ​ 146.8 Drainage and Water Re-use Products ​ ​ 22.8 ​ 22.8 ​ 0.8 ​ 46.4 Water Quality Products ​ 28.7 ​ 1.0 ​ 0.3 ​ 30.0 Total ​ $ 313.9 ​ $ 129.9 ​ $ 19.4 ​ $ 463.2 ​ The Company generally considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master sales agreements, to represent the contract with a customer. The Company’s contracts with customers are generally for products only and typically do not include other performance obligations such as professional services, extended warranties, or other material rights. In situations where sales are to a distributor, the Company has concluded that its contracts are with the distributor as the Company holds a contract bearing enforceable rights and obligations only with the distributor. As part of its consideration of the contract, the Company evaluates certain factors, including the customer’s ability to pay (or credit risk). For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company has elected not to assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable input which depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs at shipment from the Company’s manufacturing site or distribution center, or delivery to the customer’s named location. In determining whether control has transferred, the Company considers if there is a present right to payment, physical possession and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer. In certain circumstances, the Company manufactures customized product without alternative use for its customers. However, as these arrangements do not entitle the Company to a right to payment of cost plus a profit for work completed, the Company has concluded that control transfers at the point in time and not over time. ​ At times, the Company receives orders for products to be delivered over multiple dates that may extend across reporting periods. The Company invoices for each delivery upon shipment and recognizes revenues for each distinct product delivered, assuming transfer of control has occurred. As scheduled delivery dates are within one year, under the optional exemption as provided for under ASC 606 ( Revenue from Contracts with Customers ​ The Company generally provides an assurance warranty that its products will substantially conform to their published specifications. The Company’s liability is limited to either a credit equal to the purchase price or replacement of the defective part. Returns under warranty have historically been immaterial. The Company does not consider activities related to such warranty, if any, to be a separate performance obligation. For certain of its products, the Company will separately sell extended warranty and service policies to its customers. The Company considers the sale of these policies as separate performance obligations. These policies typically are for periods ranging from one ​ The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections from the Company’s contracts with customers can vary based on the payment terms and conditions in the customer contracts. In limited cases, customers will partially prepay for their goods. In addition, there are constraints which cause variability in the ultimate consideration to be recognized. These constraints typically include early payment discounts, volume rebates, rights of return, cooperative advertising, and market development funds. The Company includes these constraints in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of variable consideration. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated future performance and the Company’s best judgment at the time. The Company did not recognize any material revenue from obligations satisfied in prior periods. When the timing of the Company’s recognition of revenue is different from the timing of payments made by the customer, the Company recognizes a contract liability (customer payment precedes performance). For all periods presented, the recognized contract liabilities and the associated revenue deferred are not material to the consolidated financial statements. ​ The Company incurs costs to obtain and fulfill a contract; however, the Company has elected to recognize all incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period is one year or less. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities performed after the customer has obtained control of the related goods as a fulfillment cost, and the related cost is accrued for in conjunction with the recording of revenue for the goods.

The Company performs its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each year. At the most recent annual impairment test which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company performed qualitative fair value assessments, including an evaluation of certain key assumptions for all seven of its reporting units. The Company concluded that the fair value of all seven reporting units exceeded their carrying values at that time. ​ Intangible assets include the following: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ March 26, 2023 ​ December 31, 2022 ​ ​ Gross ​ ​ ​ ​ Net ​ Gross ​ ​ ​ ​ Net ​ ​ Carrying ​ Accumulated ​ Carrying ​ Carrying ​ Accumulated ​ Carrying ​ Amount Amortization Amount Amount Amortization Amount ​ ​ (in millions) Patents ​ $ 5.0 ​ $ (5.0) ​ $ — ​ $ 5.0 ​ $ (5.0) ​ $ — Customer relationships ​ 175.1 ​ (120.4) ​ 54.7 ​ 175.1 ​ (118.6) ​ 56.5 Technology ​ 53.2 ​ (41.4) ​ 11.8 ​ 53.2 ​ (40.5) ​ 12.7 Trade names ​ 19.8 ​ (11.1) ​ 8.7 ​ 19.8 ​ (10.8) ​ 9.0 Other ​ 1.1 ​ (0.7) ​ 0.4 ​ 1.1 ​ (0.6) ​ 0.5 Total amortizable intangibles ​ 254.2 ​ (178.6) ​ 75.6 ​ 254.2 ​ (175.5) ​ 78.7 Indefinite-lived intangible assets ​ 35.2 ​ — ​ 35.2 ​ 35.0 ​ — ​ 35.0 ​ ​ $ 289.4 ​ $ (178.6) ​ $ 110.8 ​ $ 289.2 ​ $ (175.5) ​ $ 113.7 ​ Aggregate amortization expense for amortized intangible assets for the first quarters ended March 26, 2023 and March 27, 2022 was $3.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

For the stock repurchase program, the Company has entered into Rule 10b5-1 plans, which permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time, subject to the terms of the Rule 10b5-1 plans the Company entered into with respect to the repurchase program. As of March 26, 2023, there was $24.3 million remaining authorized for share repurchases under the $150 million program. ​ For the first quarters ended March 26, 2023 and March 27, 2022, the Company repurchased 22,473 shares for $3.7 million and 293,390 shares for $42.9 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation	7. Stock-Based Compensation ​ The Company granted 41,096 and 45,121 units of deferred stock awards during the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company grants shares of deferred stock awards to key employees and stock awards to non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors under the Third Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Stock Incentive Plan”). Deferred stock awards to employees typically vest over a three-year period, and stock awards to non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors vest immediately. ​ The Company also grants performance stock units to key employees under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Performance stock units cliff vest at the end of a performance period set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the time of grant, which is currently three years. Upon vesting, the number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock awarded to each performance stock unit recipient will be determined based on the Company’s performance relative to certain performance goals set at the time the performance stock units were granted. The recipient of a performance stock unit award may earn from zero shares to twice ​ Under the Management Stock Purchase Plan (“MSPP”), the Company granted 26,645 and 28,711 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) during the first quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. The MSPP allows for the granting of RSUs to key employees. On an annual basis, key employees may elect to receive a portion of their annual incentive compensation in RSUs instead of cash. Participating employees may use up to 50% of their annual incentive bonus to purchase RSUs for a purchase price equal to 80% of the fair market value of the Company’s Class A common stock as of the date of grant. RSUs vest either annually over a three-year period from the grant date or upon the third anniversary of the grant date. Receipt of the shares underlying RSUs is deferred for a minimum of three years, or such greater number of years from the date of the grant as is chosen by the employee. ​ The fair value of the discount of each purchased RSU is estimated on the date of grant, using the Black-Scholes-Merton Model, based on the following weighted average assumptions: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2023 2022 Expected life (years) ​ 3.0 ​ 3.0 ​ Expected stock price volatility 33.7 % 33.7 % Expected dividend yield 0.80 % 0.80 % Risk-free interest rate 4.1 % 2.0 % ​ The risk-free interest rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the respective expected life of the RSUs. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of RSUs and volatility were calculated using historical data. The expected dividend yield of stock is the Company’s best estimate of the expected future dividend yield. ​ The above assumptions were used to determine the weighted average grant-date fair value of the discount on RSUs granted in 2023 and 2022 of $57.50 and $47.26, respectively. ​ A more detailed description of each of these plans can be found in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Segment Information	8. Segment Information ​ The Company operates in three geographic segments: Americas, Europe, and APMEA. Each of these segments sells similar products and has separate financial results that are reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker. Each segment earns revenue and income almost exclusively from the sale of the Company’s products. The Company sells its products into various end markets around the world, with sales by region based upon location of the entity recording the sale. See Note 3 for further detail on the product lines sold into by region. All intercompany sales transactions have been eliminated. The accounting policies for each segment are the same as those described in Note 2 above and in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. ​ The following is a summary of the Company’s significant accounts and balances by segment, reconciled to its consolidated totals: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ First Quarter Ended ​ ​ ​ March 26, ​ March 27, ​ ​ 2023 2022 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Net sales ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Americas ​ $ 323.2 ​ $ 313.9 ​ Europe ​ 128.3 ​ 129.9 ​ APMEA ​ 20.2 ​ 19.4 ​ Consolidated net sales ​ $ 471.7 ​ $ 463.2 ​ Operating income (loss) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Americas ​ $ 72.5 ​ $ 57.9 ​ Europe ​ 19.2 ​ 21.1 ​ APMEA ​ 4.0 ​ 3.0 ​ Subtotal reportable segments ​ 95.7 ​ 82.0 ​ Corporate(*) ​ (11.0) ​ (10.5) ​ Consolidated operating income ​ 84.7 ​ 71.5 ​ Interest income ​ (0.4) ​ (0.1) ​ Interest expense ​ 1.5 ​ 1.4 ​ Other (income) expense, net ​ 0.1 ​ 0.3 ​ Income before income taxes ​ $ 83.5 ​ $ 69.9 ​ Capital expenditures ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Americas ​ $ 3.2 ​ $ 3.5 ​ Europe ​ 1.8 ​ 2.1 ​ APMEA ​ 0.1 ​ — ​ Consolidated capital expenditures ​ $ 5.1 ​ $ 5.6 ​ Depreciation and amortization ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Americas ​ $ 7.1 ​ $ 7.0 ​ Europe ​ 2.4 ​ 2.7 ​ APMEA ​ 0.5 ​ 0.6 ​ Consolidated depreciation and amortization ​ $ 10.0 ​ $ 10.3 ​ Identifiable assets (at end of period) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Americas ​ $ 1,257.2 ​ $ 1,174.5 ​ Europe ​ 592.0 ​ 581.8 ​ APMEA ​ 140.8 ​ 147.0 ​ Consolidated identifiable assets ​ $ 1,990.0 ​ $ 1,903.3 ​ Property, plant and equipment, net (at end of period) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Americas ​ $ 122.7 ​ $ 120.5 ​ Europe ​ 69.0 ​ 71.4 ​ APMEA ​ 4.2 ​ 4.7 ​ Consolidated property, plant and equipment, net ​ $ 195.9 ​ $ 196.6 ​ * Corporate expenses are primarily for administrative compensation expense, compliance costs, professional fees, including corporate-related legal and audit expenses, shareholder services and benefit administration costs. ​ The above operating segments are presented on a basis consistent with the presentation included in the Company’s December 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K. ​ The property, plant and equipment in the U.S. of the Company’s Americas segment was $118.3 million and $115.5 million as of March 26, 2023 and March 27, 2022, respectively. ​ The following includes U.S. net sales of the Company’s Americas segment: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ First Quarter Ended ​ ​ ​ March 26, ​ March 27, ​ ​ 2023 2022 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ U.S. net sales ​ $ 304.3 ​ $ 294.2 ​ ​ The following includes intersegment sales for Americas, Europe and APMEA: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ First Quarter Ended ​ ​ ​ March 26, ​ March 27, ​ ​ 2023 2022 ​ ​ (in millions) ​ Intersegment Sales ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Americas ​ $ 2.0 ​ $ 3.0 ​ Europe ​ 5.6 ​ 7.1 ​ APMEA ​ 22.1 ​ 23.5 ​ Intersegment sales ​ $ 29.7 ​ $ 33.6 ​ ​

Financing Arrangements
Debt	10. Debt ​ On March 30, 2021, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement amended the Company’s borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement entered into on April 24, 2020 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), to extend the maturity date of the $800 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility from February 12, 2022 to March 30, 2026 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). Among other changes from the Prior Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement increased the Company’s maximum consolidated leverage ratio (including both the base ratio and the ratio permitted during temporary step-ups following certain acquisitions), adjusted certain fees to reflect market conditions and reduced the 1.00% floor on the adjusted London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) rate to 0.00%. On August 2, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) to replace LIBOR as a reference rate for borrowings with the term secured overnight financing rate (“Term SOFR”), and to provide for a fixed adjustment of 10 basis points added to Term SOFR (“Term Benchmark”) for all Term SOFR borrowings, subject to a 0.00% floor. The Company elected the optional expedient under Accounting Standards Update (“ASC”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform ​ The Revolving Credit Facility also includes sub-limits of $100 million for letters of credit and $15 million for swing line loans. As of March 26, 2023, the Company had drawn down $150.0 million on this line of credit and had $12.4 million in letters of credit outstanding, which resulted in $637.6 million of unused and available credit under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings outstanding bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to an applicable percentage defined as (i) in the case of Term Benchmark loans, the Term Benchmark plus an applicable percentage, ranging from 1.075% to 1.325%, determined by reference to the Company's consolidated leverage ratio, or (ii) in the case of alternate base rate loans and swing line loans, interest (which at all times will not be less than 1.00%) at the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the FRBNY Rate in effect on such day plus 0.50% and (c) the Term Benchmark rate plus 1.00% for a one-month interest period. The weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 26, 2023 was 5.88%. The weighted average interest rate on debt outstanding inclusive of the interest rate swap discussed in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and interest rates under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 26, 2023 was 3.40%. As of March 26, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Amended Credit Agreement. ​ In addition to paying interest under the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company is also required to pay certain fees in connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, including, but not limited to, an unused facility fee and letter of credit fees. ​ The Amended Credit Agreement matures on March 30, 2026, subject to extension under certain circumstances and subject to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. The Company may repay loans outstanding under the Amended Credit Agreement from time to time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs, if any, and subject to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement. ​ The Amended Credit Agreement imposes various restrictions on the Company and its subsidiaries, including restrictions pertaining to: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (ii) limitations on liens, (iii) making distributions, dividends and other payments, (iv) mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, (v) dispositions of assets, (vi) certain consolidated leverage ratios and consolidated interest coverage ratios, (vii) transactions with affiliates, (viii) changes to governing documents, and (ix) changes in control. ​ The Company maintains letters of credit that guarantee its performance or payment to third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. Amounts outstanding were $12.4 million as of March 26, 2023. The Company’s letters of credit are primarily associated with insurance coverage. The Company’s letters of credit generally expire within one year of issuance. These instruments may exist or expire without being drawn down. Therefore, they do not necessarily represent future cash flow obligations.

The fair value of the Company’s variable rate debt under the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying value. ​ Financial Instruments ​ The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including deferred compensation plan assets and related liabilities, contingent consideration and derivatives. The fair values of these financial assets and liabilities were determined using the following inputs as of March 26, 2023 and December 31, 2022: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurement at March 26, 2023 Using: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Quoted Prices in Active ​ Significant Other ​ Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Markets for Identical ​ Observable ​ Unobservable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Assets ​ Inputs ​ Inputs ​ Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) ​ ​ (in millions) Assets ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Plan asset for deferred compensation(1) ​ $ 2.0 ​ $ 2.0 ​ $ — ​ $ — Interest rate swap(2) ​ $ 7.2 ​ $ — ​ $ 7.2 ​ $ — Designated foreign currency hedges(4) ​ $ 0.1 ​ $ — ​ $ 0.1 ​ $ — Total assets ​ $ 9.3 ​ $ 2.0 ​ $ 7.3 ​ $ — Liabilities ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Plan liability for deferred compensation(3) ​ $ 2.0 ​ $ 2.0 ​ $ — ​ $ — Contingent consideration(5) ​ $ 2.5 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 2.5 Total liabilities ​ $ 4.5 ​ $ 2.0 ​ $ — ​ $ 2.5 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2022 Using: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Quoted Prices in Active ​ Significant Other ​ Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Markets for Identical ​ Observable ​ Unobservable ​ ​ ​ ​ Assets ​ Inputs ​ Inputs ​ ​ Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) ​ ​ (in millions) Assets ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Plan asset for deferred compensation(1) ​ $ 1.9 ​ $ 1.9 ​ $ — ​ $ — Interest rate swap(2) ​ $ 9.3 ​ $ — ​ $ 9.3 ​ $ — Designated foreign currency hedges(4) ​ $ 0.2 ​ $ — ​ $ 0.2 ​ $ ​ Total assets ​ $ 11.4 ​ $ 1.9 ​ $ 9.5 ​ $ — Liabilities ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Plan liability for deferred compensation(3) ​ $ 1.9 ​ $ 1.9 ​ $ — ​ $ — Contingent consideration(5) ​ $ 2.5 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 2.5 Total liabilities ​ $ 4.4 ​ $ 1.9 ​ $ — ​ $ 2.5 (1) Included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in other assets (other, net). ​ (2) As of March 26, 2023, $3.1 million classified in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and $4.1 million classified in other assets (other, net). As of December 31, 2022, $3.5 million classified in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and $5.8 million classified in other assets (other, net). ​ (3) Included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in accrued compensation and benefits. ​ (4) ​ (5) ​ In connection with the immaterial acquisition of Sentinel Hydrosolutions, LLC (“Sentinel”), completed during the fourth quarter of 2021, contingent liability of $2.5 million was recognized as the estimate of the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration. This liability was classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy as it was based on the probability of achievement of future performance metrics as of the date of acquisition, which was not observable in the market. Failure to meet the performance metrics would reduce this liability to zero, while complete achievement would increase the liability to a maximum contingent consideration of approximately $4.5 million. ​ Cash equivalents consist of instruments with remaining maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase and consist primarily of money market funds, for which the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. ​ The Company uses financial instruments from time to time to enhance its ability to manage risk, including foreign currency and commodity pricing exposures, which exist as part of its ongoing business operations. The use of derivatives exposes the Company to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to changes in currency exchange rates and commodity prices. The Company manages its exposure to counterparty credit risk through diversification of counterparties. The Company’s counterparties in derivative transactions are substantial commercial banks with significant experience using such derivative instruments. The impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of the Company’s derivative instruments is monitored and the Company restricts the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities. The Company does not enter into contracts for trading purposes nor does the Company enter into any contracts for speculative purposes. The use of derivative instruments is approved by senior management under written guidelines. ​ Interest Rate Swaps ​ On March 30, 2021, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date of the $800 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility from February 12, 2022 to March 30, 2026. On August 2, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR as a reference rate for borrowings with Term SOFR and to provide for a fixed adjustment of 10 basis points added to Term SOFR for all Term SOFR borrowings, subject to a 0.00% floor. Borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum as further detailed in Note 10. ​ In order to manage the Company’s exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to fluctuations in interest payments related to the Company’s floating rate debt, the Company entered into an interest rate swap on March 30, 2021. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company received the one-month USD-LIBOR subject to a 0.00% floor and paid a fixed rate of 1.02975% on a notional amount of $100.0 million. On August 2, 2022, the Company amended the interest rate swap to replace LIBOR as a reference rate for borrowings with Term SOFR. Under the amended interest rate swap agreement, the Company receives the one-month Term SOFR subject to a -0.1 floor and pays a fixed rate of 0.942% on a notional amount of $100.0 million. The swap matures on March 30, 2026. The Company elected the optional expedient in connection with amending its interest rate swap to replace the reference rate from LIBOR to Term SOFR to consider the amendment as a continuation of the existing contract without having to perform an assessment that would otherwise be required under U.S. GAAP. The Company formally documents the hedge relationships at hedge inception to ensure that its interest rate swaps qualify for hedge accounting. On a quarterly basis, the Company assesses whether the interest rate swap is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flow of the hedged item. The Company does not hold or issue interest rate swaps for trading purposes. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. For the first quarter ended March 26, 2023, a net loss of $1.5 million was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to recognize the effective portion of the fair value of the interest rate swap that qualifies as a cash flow hedge. ​ Designated Foreign Currency Hedges ​ The Company’s foreign subsidiaries transact most business, including certain intercompany transactions, in foreign currencies. Such transactions are principally purchases or sales of materials. The Company has exposure to a number of foreign currencies, including the Canadian dollar, the euro, and the Chinese yuan. The Company uses a layering methodology, whereby at the end of each quarter, the Company enters into forward exchange contracts hedging Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar, which hedge up to 85% of the forecasted intercompany purchase transactions between one of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries and the Company’s U.S. operating subsidiaries for the next twelve months. The Company uses a similar layering methodology when entering into forward exchange contracts hedging U.S. dollar to the Chinese yuan, which hedge up to 60% of the forecasted intercompany sales transactions between one of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries and one of the Company’s U.S. operating subsidiaries for the next twelve months. As of March 26, 2023, all designated foreign exchange hedge contracts were cash flow hedges under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ​ The notional amounts outstanding as of March 26, 2023 for the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar contracts was $11.0 million. The fair value of the Company’s designated foreign hedge contracts outstanding as of March 26, 2023 was an asset of $0.1 million. As of March 26, 2023, the amount expected to be reclassified into cost of goods sold from other comprehensive income in the next twelve months is a gain of $0.1 million.

Contingencies and Environmental Remediation	12. Contingencies and Environmental Remediation ​ In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in disputes, litigation, and governmental or regulatory inquiries and investigations, both pending and threatened, including those involving product liability, environmental matters, and commercial disputes. ​ Other than the items described below, significant commitments and contingencies at March 26, 2023 are consistent with those discussed in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. ​ As of March 26, 2023, the Company estimates that the aggregate amount of reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued for its contingencies is approximately $3.6 million. With respect to the estimate of reasonably possible loss, management has estimated the upper end of the range of reasonably possible loss based on (i) the amount of money damages claimed, where applicable, (ii) the allegations and factual development to date, (iii) available defenses based on the allegations, and/or (iv) other potentially liable parties. This estimate is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimate will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate. In the event of an unfavorable outcome in one or more of the matters, the ultimate liability may be in excess of amounts currently accrued, if any, and may be material to the Company’s operating results or cash flows for a particular quarterly or annual period. However, based on information currently known to it, management believes that the ultimate outcome of all matters, as they are resolved over time, is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. ​ Chemetco, Inc. Superfund Site, Hartford, Illinois ​ In August 2017, Watts Regulator Co. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) received a “Notice of Environmental Liability” from the Chemetco Site Group (“Group”) alleging that it is a potentially responsible party for the Chemetco, Inc. Superfund Site in Hartford, Illinois (the “Site”) because it arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances that were contained in materials sent to the Site and that resulted in the release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site. The letter offered Watts Regulator Co. the opportunity to join the Group and participate in the Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) for a portion of the Site. Watts Regulator Co. joined the Group in September 2017 and was added in March 2018 as a signatory to the Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”) governing completion of the RI/FS. The Remedial Investigation (“RI”) report has been completed for the first portion of the site. For that same portion of the site, the draft Feasibility Study (“FS”) report was submitted to USEPA and IEPA for review and comment in September 2021. USEPA and IEPA, respectively, have now issued comments on the draft FS. There is not yet a date for submission of a revised draft responding to those comments. Comments and final approval from the EPA are required to complete the FS process. Based on information currently known to it, management believes that Watts Regulator Co.’s share of the costs of the RI/FS is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company, or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results for any particular period. The Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss for the above matter in which damages have not been specified because: (i) the FS process for the first portion of the Site has not been completed, and the RI/FS process for the remainder of the Site has not yet been initiated, to determine what remediation plans will be implemented and the costs of such plans; (ii) the total amount of material sent to the Site, and the total number of potentially responsible parties who may or may not agree to fund or perform any remediation, have not been determined; (iii) the share contribution for potentially responsible parties to any remediation has not been determined; and (iv) the number of years required to implement a remediation plan acceptable to USEPA and IEPA is uncertain.

Enware will enhance the Company’s product offering and channel access into the Australian marketplace. The acquisition of Enware was deemed not to be material. ​
