Insights

Xylem's Q2 2024 results demonstrate robust financial performance and positive momentum. The company reported $2.2 billion in revenue, a substantial 26% increase on a reported basis and 9% organically. This growth outpaces many industry peers and indicates strong market positioning.

Earnings per share saw a remarkable 78% increase to $0.80 on a reported basis and 11% growth to $1.09 on an adjusted basis. The adjusted EBITDA margin expanded by 170 basis points to 20.8%, reflecting operational efficiency and effective cost management.

Particularly noteworthy is Xylem's decision to raise its full-year guidance. The new revenue target of $8.55 billion represents a 16% year-over-year increase, up from the previous 15-16% range. The organic growth projection of 5-6% suggests confidence in core business performance.

The increased adjusted EPS guidance of $4.18 to $4.28 indicates management's optimism about profitability. The raised free cash flow conversion target of at least 120% of net income is a strong indicator of the company's ability to generate cash from its operations.

While orders grew 12% on a reported basis, the 1% organic decline warrants attention. This could signal potential headwinds in certain markets or segments, which investors should monitor in future quarters.

Xylem's Q2 results and raised guidance reflect resilience in the water technology sector. The company's 9% organic revenue growth suggests strong underlying demand for water management solutions, likely driven by increasing global water challenges and infrastructure needs.

The integration of Evoqua, mentioned as "well on track," is a key strategic move. This acquisition expands Xylem's portfolio and market reach, potentially contributing to the raised guidance. Investors should watch for synergy realization and integration progress in coming quarters.

Xylem's diverse portfolio of "mission-critical solutions" positions it well to capitalize on intensifying water challenges globally. This diversification may provide resilience against potential macroeconomic variability in the second half of the year.

The 1% organic decline in orders, despite overall growth, could indicate uneven demand across different geographic regions or product segments. It's important to monitor whether this trend persists and how it might impact future quarters.

The water technology market appears to have strong tailwinds, with Xylem's performance suggesting sustained demand for water infrastructure and management solutions. However, investors should remain vigilant about potential macroeconomic headwinds and their impact on public and private sector spending in this space.

  • Revenue of $2.2 billion, up 26% on a reported basis and 9% organically
  • Earnings per share of $0.80, up 78%; $1.09 on an adjusted basis, up 11%
  • Raising full-year revenue guidance to $8.55 billion, up approximately 16%, with organic revenue growth of 5% to 6%, up from 4% to 6%
  • Increasing full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $4.18 to $4.28, from $4.10 to $4.25

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company that empowers customers and communities to build a more water-secure world, today reported second-quarter results. The Company’s total revenue was $2.2 billion on strong execution and demand, and second-quarter earnings per share were up 78 percent on a reported basis and 11 percent on an adjusted basis, exceeding Xylem’s previous guidance. Orders grew 12 percent on a reported basis and declined 1 percent organically.

“The team continued to build on Xylem’s momentum and outperformed expectations on all metrics in the second quarter,” said Xylem’s President and CEO, Matthew Pine. “Healthy demand, combined with the team’s disciplined operational execution, delivered significant margin expansion in the quarter. Evoqua integration and synergies are also well on track.”

“We are further raising our full-year revenue, margin and earnings guidance. We are confident in the team’s commitment to realizing our operational potential, and underlying demand in our largest markets remains resilient despite likely macro variability in the second half. Our diversified portfolio of mission-critical solutions is ideally positioned to meet global demand from intensifying water challenges.”

Net income was $194 million, or $0.80 per share. Net income margin increased 360 basis points to 8.9 percent. These results are driven by strong operational performance, partially offset by higher purchase accounting intangible amortization. Adjusted net income was $266 million, or $1.09 per share, which excludes the impacts of restructuring and realignment costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain/loss from sale of businesses, special charges, and tax-related special items.

Second-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin was 20.8 percent, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 170 basis points. Productivity savings, volume, and price drove the margin expansion, exceeding the impact of inflation, strategic investments and mix.

Outlook

Xylem now expects full-year 2024 revenue of $8.55 billion, up approximately 16 percent on a reported basis and up approximately 5 to 6 percent on an organic basis. This represents an increase from the Company’s previous full-year guidance of 15 to 16 percent on a reported basis and 4 to 6 percent on an organic basis.

Full-year 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 20.5 percent, increased from the previous guide of 20.0 percent. This results in adjusted earnings per share of $4.18 to $4.28, raised from the previous range of $4.10 to $4.25. Full-year free cash flow conversion to net income is expected to be at least 120 percent, an increase compared to the prior guidance of 115 percent.

Further 2024 planning assumptions are included in Xylem’s second-quarter 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 second-quarter earnings and reconciliations for certain non-GAAP items is posted at www.xylem.com/investors.

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, and "Free Cash Flow Conversion" defined as Free Cash Flows divided by net income, excluding the gain on sale of businesses and other non-recurring, significant non-cash impacts, such as non-cash impairment charges and significant deferred tax items. Our definitions of "free cash flow" and "free cash flow conversion" do not consider certain non-discretionary cash payments, such as debt.
 
"Adjusted Free Cash Flow" defined as free cash flow adjusted for significant cash items for which the corresponding income statement impact does not occur within the same fiscal year.
 
“Realignment costs” defined as costs not included in restructuring costs that are incurred as part of actions taken to reposition our business, including items such as professional fees, severance, relocation, travel, facility set-up and other costs.
 
“Special charges" defined as 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.
