Insights

Xylem's Q4 2024 results demonstrate remarkable operational execution and market leadership in the water solutions sector. The 7% organic revenue growth, coupled with robust order growth across all segments, indicates strong market demand fundamentals. The company's ability to expand adjusted EBITDA margin by 140 basis points to 21.0% showcases excellent operational discipline and pricing power.

Several key metrics deserve attention:

The order book growth of 7% provides substantial visibility into 2025 performance
Net income margin expansion of 190 basis points to 14.5% reflects structural improvements in operational efficiency
The 11% dividend increase demonstrates strong cash generation capabilities and management's confidence

The 2025 guidance of $8.6-8.7 billion in revenue with 3-4% organic growth appears conservative given current momentum. The projected adjusted EBITDA margin expansion to 21.3-21.8% suggests continued operational improvements and pricing discipline. The free cash flow margin target of 9-10% indicates healthy cash conversion capabilities.

The water infrastructure market remains resilient, driven by aging infrastructure replacement needs, urbanization and climate adaptation investments. Xylem's position as a leading water technology provider, combined with its operational excellence, positions it well to capitalize on these long-term trends.

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water solutions company dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues, today reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 results. The Company’s total revenue of $2.3 billion surpassed prior guidance, on strong execution and demand. Fourth-quarter earnings also exceeded Xylem’s previous guidance.

“The team delivered a strong fourth quarter to close a record-breaking year for Xylem,” said Matthew Pine, Xylem’s CEO. “We set new benchmarks for full-year revenue, net income and adjusted EBITDA margins, and earnings per share, with the team showing great operating discipline across the portfolio. All segments delivered strong Q4 orders growth, giving us momentum coming into 2025 on resilient underlying demand.”

“In a year of transition and transformation, the team focused on what matters while delivering on the initiatives that have laid the foundation for sustainable growth and value creation. Our 2025 guidance reflects the team’s commitment to our long-term framework as we continue to enable our customers to address the world’s greatest water challenges.”

Net income for the quarter was $326 million, or $1.34 per share. Net income margin increased 190 basis points to 14.5 percent. These results are driven by a non-recurring gain on the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest in Idrica and strong operational performance, partially offset by non-recurring tax benefits in the prior year, a loss on sale of businesses, and increased restructuring and realignment costs. Adjusted net income was $287 million, or $1.18 per share, which excludes the impacts of the gain on remeasurement of previously held equity investment, loss on sale of businesses, purchase accounting intangible amortization, restructuring and realignment costs, and special charges.

Fourth-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin was 21.0 percent, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 140 basis points. Productivity savings, strong price realization and higher volume drove the margin expansion, exceeding the impact of inflation and strategic investments.

The Board of Directors of Xylem has declared a first-quarter dividend of $0.40 per share, an increase of 11 percent. The dividend is payable on March 19, 2025, to shareholders of record as of February 18, 2025.

Outlook

Xylem forecasts full-year 2025 revenue of approximately $8.6 to $8.7 billion, up approximately 0 to 2 percent on a reported basis and up approximately 3 to 4 percent on an organic basis.

Full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 21.3 to 21.8 percent, an increase of 70 to 120 basis points from Xylem’s 2024 adjusted results. Full-year free cash flow margin is expected to be approximately 9 to 10 percent.

Further 2025 planning assumptions are included in Xylem’s fourth-quarter 2024 earnings materials posted at www.xylem.com/investors. Excluding revenue, Xylem provides guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain amounts that would be included in GAAP earnings, such as discrete tax items, without unreasonable effort.

Supplemental information on Xylem’s fourth-quarter earnings, as well as definitions of and reconciliations for certain non-GAAP items is posted at www.xylem.com/investors.

Xylem Inc. Non-GAAP Measures

Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, gross margins, segment operating income and margins, orders growth, working capital and backlog, among others. In addition, we consider certain non-GAAP (or "adjusted") measures to be useful to management and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and to provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including but not limited to, dividends, acquisitions, share repurchases and debt repayment. Excluding revenue, Xylem provides guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain amounts that would be included in GAAP earnings, such as discrete tax items, without unreasonable effort. These adjusted metrics are consistent with how management views our business and are used to make financial, operating and planning decisions. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share (basic and diluted) or net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following items to represent the non-GAAP measures that we consider to be key performance indicators, as well as the related reconciling items to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

“Organic revenue" and "Organic orders” defined as revenue and orders, respectively, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency translation and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures. Divestitures include sales or discontinuance of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency translation impacts is determined by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate.

“Constant currency” defined as financial results adjusted for foreign currency translation impacts by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

“EBITDA” defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. “Adjusted EBITDA” and "Adjusted Segment EBITDA" reflect the adjustments to EBITDA and segment EBITDA, respectively, to exclude share-based compensation charges, restructuring and realignment costs, gain or loss from sale of businesses and special charges.

"Adjusted EBITDA Margin" and "Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin" defined as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA divided by total revenue and segment revenue, respectively.

"Adjusted Operating Income", "Adjusted Segment Operating Income", "Adjusted Net Income" and “Adjusted EPS” defined as operating income, segment operating income, net income and earnings per share, adjusted to exclude restructuring and realignment costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain or loss from sale of businesses, special charges and tax-related special items, as applicable.

"Adjusted Operating Margin" and "Adjusted Segment Operating Margin" defined as adjusted operating income and adjusted segment operating income divided by total revenue and segment revenue, respectively.

“Free Cash Flow” defined as net cash from operating activities, as reported in the Statement of Cash Flows, less capital expenditures.

Free Cash Flow Conversion defined as Free Cash Flow, or Adjusted Free Cash Flow as applicable; divided by net income, excluding the gain on sale of businesses and other non-recurring, significant non-cash impacts, such as non-cash impairment charges and significant deferred tax items. "Adjusted Free Cash Flow" used in Free Cash Flow Conversion defined as free cash flow adjusted for significant cash items for which the corresponding income statement impact does not occur within the same fiscal year.

"Free Cash Flow Margin" defined as free cash flow, adjusted for significant cash paid or received for non-operational tax, acquisition or divestiture activities; divided by revenue.

“Realignment costs” defined as costs not included in restructuring costs that are incurred as part of actions taken to reposition our business, including items such as professional fees, severance, relocation, travel, facility set-up and other costs.

“Special charges" defined as non-recurring costs incurred by the Company, such those related to acquisitions and integrations, divestitures and non-cash impairment charges.

“Tax-related special items" defined as tax items, such as tax return versus tax provision adjustments, tax exam impacts, tax law change impacts, excess tax benefits/losses and other discrete tax adjustments.
