XYLEM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
Xylem Inc. (“Xylem” or the “Company”) is a leading equipment and service provider for water and wastewater applications with a broad portfolio of products and services addressing the full cycle of water, from collection, distribution and use to the return of water to the environment.
Xylem operates in four segments, Water Infrastructure, Applied Water, Measurement & Control Solutions and Integrated Solutions and Services. See Note 19, "Segment Information," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further segment background information.
Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, "Xylem," "we," "us," "our" and the "Company" refer to Xylem Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Acquisition of Evoqua
On May 24, 2023, Xylem completed the acquisition of Evoqua Water Technologies Corp. (“Evoqua”). Refer to Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," for additional information.
Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All intercompany transactions between our businesses have been eliminated.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("2022 Annual Report") in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our 2022 Annual Report. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, valuation results associated with purchase accounting, post-retirement obligations and assets, revenue recognition, income taxes, valuation of intangible assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment testing and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Our quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter, except for the fourth quarter which ends on December 31. For ease of presentation, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are described as ending on the last day of the calendar quarter.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, "Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations." This guidance requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The ASU became effective January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward requirement, which becomes effective January 1, 2024. The disclosures related to our adoption of the standard are included below:
The Company facilitates the opportunity for suppliers to participate in voluntary supply chain financing programs with third-party financial institutions. Xylem agrees on commercial terms, including payment terms, with suppliers regardless of program participation. The company does not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between suppliers and the third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers are paid directly by the third-party financial institution. Xylem pays the third-party financial institution the stated amount of confirmed invoices from its designated suppliers at the original invoice amount on the original maturity dates of the invoices, ranging from 45-180 days. Xylem does not pay fees related to these programs. Xylem or the third-party financial institutions may terminate the agreements upon at least 30 days’ notice. As of June 30, 2023, the total outstanding balance under these programs is $178 million presented on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within "Accounts payable."
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” This guidance requires an acquirer to apply the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination, rather than using fair value. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and we adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023. The guidance will be applied prospectively to business combinations after the adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
Evoqua Water Technologies Corp.
On May 24, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Evoqua, a leader in providing water and wastewater treatment solutions, offering a broad portfolio of products and services to support industrial, municipal, and recreational customers, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 22, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided that Fore Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merge with and into Evoqua, with Evoqua surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Xylem (the “Merger”). Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Evoqua common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive 0.48 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of the common stock of Xylem. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, legacy Evoqua stockholders owned approximately 25% and legacy Xylem shareholders owned approximately 75% of the combined company. The purchase price for purposes of the Merger consisted of an aggregate of $6,121 million of the Company’s common stock, $160 million in replacement equity awards, and $619 million to repay certain indebtedness of Evoqua (refer to Note 12. Credit Facilities and Debt). Acquisition costs for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 of $39 million and $55 million, respectively, have been recorded within Selling, general and administrative expense in our Consolidated Income Statement.
8
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration totaled $6,900, which consisted of the following:
| (in millions) | Fair Value of Purchase Consideration | ||||
| Xylem Common Stock issued to Evoqua stockholders (58,779,096 shares) | $ | 6,121 | |||
| Estimated replacement equity awards | 160 | ||||
| Payment of certain Evoqua indebtedness | 619 | ||||
| Total | $ | 6,900 | |||
The Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the excess purchase consideration recorded to goodwill. As the Company finalizes the estimation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period (a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date). The following table summarizes the preliminary acquisition date fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed from Evoqua:
| (in millions) | Fair Value | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 143 | |||
| Receivables | 432 | ||||
| Inventories | 288 | ||||
| Prepaid and other current assets | 75 | ||||
| Assets held for sale | 8 | ||||
| Property, plant and equipment, net | 511 | ||||
| Goodwill | 4,364 | ||||
| Other intangible assets, net | 2,307 | ||||
| Other non-current assets | 191 | ||||
| Non-current assets held for sale | 86 | ||||
| Accounts payable | (207) | ||||
| Accrued and other current liabilities | (342) | ||||
| Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt | (166) | ||||
| Liabilities held for sale | (1) | ||||
| Long-term debt | (111) | ||||
| Other non-current accrued liabilities | (124) | ||||
| Deferred income tax liabilities | (551) | ||||
| Non-current liabilities held for sale | (3) | ||||
| Total | $ | 6,900 | |||
The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to further refinement and may require significant adjustments to arrive at the final purchase price allocation. The above fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the reporting date. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined using the income and cost approaches. In many cases, the determination of the fair values required estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental and subject to change. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed as soon as the necessary information becomes available but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
The fair value of receivables acquired is $322 million, with the gross contractual amount being $329 million. The Company expects $7 million to be uncollectible.
9
The amounts of sales and net loss from continuing operations before income taxes of Evoqua since the acquisition date included in the Consolidated Income Statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are $178 million and $49 million, respectively. The $4,364 million of goodwill recognized, which is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, is primarily attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Evoqua and Xylem as well as the assembled workforce of Evoqua.
Identifiable Intangible Assets Acquired
The following table summarizes key information underlying identifiable intangible assets related to the Evoqua acquisition:
| (in millions) | Useful Life (in years) | Fair Value (in millions) | ||||||
| Trademarks | 6 | $ | 60 | |||||
| Proprietary technology and patents | 4 - 9 | 150 | ||||||
| Customer and distributor relationships | 7 - 17 | 1,960 | ||||||
| Backlog | 1 - 8 | 110 | ||||||
| Software | 1 - 3 | 27 | ||||||
| Total | $ | 2,307 | ||||||
The preliminary estimate of the fair value of Evoqua’s identifiable intangible assets was determined primarily using the “income approach,” which requires a forecast of all of the expected future cash flows either through the use of the multi-period excess earnings method or the relief-from-royalty method. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement of the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). Intangible assets consisting of the Evoqua tradename, technology, customer relationships, and backlog were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MEEM”), or the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method, both are forms of the income approach.
•Trademarks and proprietary technology intangible assets were valued using the RFR method. The RFR method of valuation suggests that in lieu of ownership, the acquirer can obtain comparable rights to use the subject asset via a license from a hypothetical third-party owner. The asset’s Fair Value is the present value of license fees avoided by owning it (i.e., the royalty savings).
•Customer relationship and backlog intangible assets were valued using the MEEM method. The MEEM method of valuation is an approach where the net earnings attributable to the asset being measured are isolated from other “contributory assets” over the intangible asset’s remaining economic life.
•Inventory was estimated using the comparative sales method, which quantifies the Fair Value of inventory based on the expected sales price of the subject inventory (when complete), reduced for: (i) all costs expected to be incurred in its completion and disposition efforts and (ii) a profit on those value-added completion and disposition costs.
Stock-Based Compensation
In connection with the Merger, each outstanding and issued option, restricted stock unit (“RSU”), performance stock unit (“PSU”) and cash-settled stock appreciation right (“SAR”) was converted into the Xylem equivalent, with outstanding PSUs being converted into Xylem RSUs. As a result, Xylem issued 2 million replacement equity options, 330 thousand PSU awards, and 377 thousand RSU awards, respectively. The portion of the fair value related to pre-combination services of $160 million was included in the purchase price, and $56 million will be recognized over the remaining service periods. As of June 30, 2023, the future unrecognized expense related to the outstanding Converted Equity Options, RSU Awards and PSU Awards was approximately $5 million, $21 million, and $10 million, respectively. The future unrecognized expense related to Converted Equity Options, RSU Awards, and PSU Awards will be recognized over a weighted-average service period of 3 years. SAR awards are immaterial.

Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma basis, the condensed combined results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, assuming the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022.
| (Unaudited) Three Months Ended June 30, | (Unaudited) Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||||

| Net income | $ | 63 | $ | 92 | $ | 170 | $ | 76 | ||||||||||||
The foregoing unaudited pro forma results are for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that might have occurred had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results. The unaudited pro-forma information for all periods presented includes the following adjustments, where applicable, for business combination accounting effects resulting from the acquisition: (i) amortization of the fair value step up in inventory, (ii) additional amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets acquired, (iii) repayment of Evoqua’s term loan and revolver and the settlement of the related interest rate swap, (iv) additional interest expense related to financing for the acquisition (refer to Note 12. Credit Facilities and Debt), (v) depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment, (vi) additional incremental stock-based compensation expense for the replacement of Evoqua’s outstanding equity awards with Xylem’s replacement equity awards, and (vii) the related tax effects assuming that the business combination occurred on January 1, 2022.
The significant nonrecurring adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated information above include the reclassification of the transaction costs to the earliest period presented and the reversal of the impacts related to the settlement of the interest rate swap, each net of tax.
Divestitures
On June 15, 2023, Xylem sold the former Evoqua carbon reactivation and slurry operations to Desotec US LLC, a subsidiary of Desotec N.V., for approximately $91 million, a price equal to the fair value less costs to sell the business.

Contract Balances
We receive payments from customers based on a billing schedule as established in our contracts. Contract assets relate to costs incurred to perform in advance of scheduled billings. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contracts. Changes in contract assets and liabilities are due to our performance under the contract. The table below provides contract assets, contract liabilities, and significant changes in contract assets and liabilities:

Performance obligations
Delivery schedules vary from customer to customer based upon their requirements. Typically, large projects require longer lead production cycles and delays can occur from time to time. As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied for contracts with performance obligations, amount to $949 million, of which $464 million is contributed by the Evoqua acquisition. We expect to recognize the majority of revenue upon the completion of satisfying these performance obligations in the following 60 months. The Company elects to apply the practical expedient to exclude from this disclosure revenue related to performance obligations that are part of a contract whose original expected duration is less than one year.
Note 5. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
Restructuring
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 we incurred restructuring costs of $28 million and $34 million, respectively. We incurred these charges primarily as a result of our acquisition of Evoqua. Approximately, $14 million of the charges related to stock based compensation expense due to acceleration clauses in equity compensation agreements and approximately $14 million of the charges represented the reduction of headcount. Additionally, we incurred $6 million of charges related to our efforts to reposition our European and North American businesses to optimize our cost structure, improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness, strengthen our competitive positioning and better serve our customers. The charges were incurred across all of our segments.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 we incurred restructuring charges of $6 million. We incurred these charges primarily as a continuation of our efforts to reposition our European and North American businesses to optimize our cost structure and improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness. The charges included the reduction of headcount across the Water Infrastructure, Applied Water and Measurement & Control Solutions segments.

The Water Infrastructure, Applied Water, Measurement & Control Solutions, Integrated Solutions & Services and Corporate actions commenced in 2023 consist primarily of severance charges. The actions are expected to continue through the end of 2024.
Asset Impairment
During the first quarter of 2023, we determined that internally developed in-process software within our Measurement & Control Solutions segment was impaired as a result of actions taken to prioritize strategic investments and we therefore recognized an impairment charge of $2 million. Refer to Note 9, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for additional information.
Note 6. Income Taxes
Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within periods presented. The comparison of our effective tax rate between periods is significantly impacted by the level and mix of earnings and losses by tax jurisdiction and discrete items.
The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $22 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.1%, compared to a $24 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 17.5% for the same period in 2022. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $49 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.5%, compared to a $40 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 17.0% for the same period in 2022. The effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the favorable impact of earnings mix partially offset by nondeductible transaction costs.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
During 2019, Xylem’s Swedish subsidiary received a tax assessment for the 2013 tax year related to the tax treatment of an intercompany transfer of certain intellectual property that was made in connection with a reorganization of our European businesses. Xylem filed an appeal with the Administrative Court of Växjö, which rendered a decision adverse to Xylem in June 2022 for SEK806 million (approximately $74 million), consisting of the full tax assessment amount plus penalties and interest. Xylem has appealed this decision with the intermediate appellate court, the Administrative Court of Appeal (the “Court”). At this time, management, in consultation with external legal advisors, continues to believe it is more likely than not that Xylem will prevail on the proposed assessment and will continue to vigorously defend our position through the appellate process. Both parties will have the ability to seek appeal of the Court’s decision to the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden. There can be no assurance that the final determination by the authorities will not be materially different than our position. As of June 30, 2023, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to this uncertain tax position.

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

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

Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets was $51 million and $83 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $32 million and $62 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2023, we determined that internally developed in-process software within our Measurement & Control Solutions segment was impaired as a result of actions taken to prioritize strategic investments and we therefore recognized an impairment charge of $2 million.

Note 10. Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions, and we principally manage our exposures to these risks through management of our core business activities. Certain of our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates that may impact revenue, expenses, cash receipts, cash payments, and the value of our stockholders' equity. We enter into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain cash flows in terms of the functional currency of the business unit with that exposure and also reduce the volatility in stockholders' equity.
As a result of Evoqua terminating their interest rate swaps prior to the Company completing the acquisition, the Company received $38 million in proceeds during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from the termination of the interest rate swaps.
Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our functional currencies. We use foreign currency derivatives, including currency forward agreements, to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the various exchange rates. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date.
Certain business units with exposure to foreign currency exchange risks have designated certain currency forward agreements as cash flow hedges of forecasted intercompany inventory purchases and sales. Our principal currency exposures for which we enter into cash flow hedges relate to the Euro, Swedish Krona, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Polish Zloty and Australian Dollar. We had foreign exchange contracts with purchased notional amounts totaling $360 million and $255 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, our most significant foreign currency derivatives included contracts to sell U.S. Dollar and purchase Euro, purchase Swedish Krona and sell Euro, sell British Pound and purchase Euro, purchase Polish Zloty and sell Euro, purchase U.S. Dollar and sell Canadian Dollar, sell Canadian Dollar and purchase Euro, purchase Canadian Dollar and Sell U.S. Dollar, and sell Australian Dollar and purchase Euro. The purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives are $144 million, $93 million, $39 million, $18 million, $17 million, $16 million, $16 million and $13 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022 the purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives were $105 million, $73 million, $29 million, $13 million, $13 million, $13 million, $0 million and $9 million, respectively.
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
We are exposed to changes in foreign currencies impacting our net investments held in foreign subsidiaries.
Cross-Currency Swaps
Beginning in 2015, we entered into cross-currency swaps to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. During the second quarter of 2019, third quarter of 2020, and second quarter of 2022 we entered into additional cross-currency swaps. The total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges was $1,659 million and $1,616 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Foreign Currency Denominated Debt
On March 11, 2016, we issued 2.250% Senior Notes of €500 million aggregate principal amount due March 2023. On December 12th, 2022 our Senior Notes due March 2023 were settled with cash on hand for a total of $527 million.
Previously, the entirety of the outstanding balance was designated as a hedge of a net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. On June 2, 2022, we de-designated the entirety of the outstanding balance of the €500 million 2.250% Senior Notes, or $533 million from the net investment hedge relationship.
Fair Value Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
The de-designation of our 2.250% Senior Notes of €500 million resulted in exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. We use currency forward agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date.
19
On June 2, 2022, we entered into a currency forward agreement with a total notional amount of €500 million, designating the agreement as a fair value hedge of our Euro denominated notes. On December 12, 2022 the currency forward agreement matured.
Effectiveness of derivatives designated as fair value hedges is assessed using the spot method. The changes in the fair value of these derivatives due to movements in spot exchange rates are recorded in Selling, general and administrative Expenses. Changes in the fair value of the 2.250% Senior Notes of €500 million related to spot exchange rates are also recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Changes in the spot-forward differential and counterparty non-performance risk of the derivatives are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and will be recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL"). Amounts in AOCL are recognized in earnings, specifically Interest expense, using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument.
The table below presents the effect of our derivative financial instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements and Statements of Comprehensive Income. Items in the table below reflect changes in "Other comprehensive loss" ("OCL") within the Statements of Comprehensive Income:

As of June 30, 2023, $1 million of net losses on cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.
As of June 30, 2023, no gains or losses on the net investment hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings over their duration.
The fair values of our derivative assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs and are determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions including yield curves, time value and other measurements.

The 2019 Credit Facility provided for an aggregate principal amount of up to $800 million (available in U.S. Dollars and in Euros), with increases of up to $200 million for a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1 billion at the request of Xylem and with the consent of the institutions providing such increased commitments. On March 1, 2023, Xylem terminated the 2019 Credit Facility among the Company, certain lenders and Citibank, N.A. as Administrative Agent as a result of signing the 2023 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility.
2023 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility
On March 1, 2023, Xylem entered into a five year revolving credit facility (the "2023 Credit Facility") with Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The 2023 Credit Facility provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1 billion (available in U.S. Dollars and in Euros), with increases of up to $300 million for a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1.3 billion at the request of Xylem and with the consent of the institutions providing such increased commitments.
Interest on all loans under the 2023 Credit Facility is payable either quarterly or at the expiration of any Term SOFR or EURIBOR interest period applicable thereto. Borrowings accrue interest at a rate equal to, at Xylem's election, a base rate or an adjusted Term SOFR or EURIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. The 2023 Credit Facility includes customary provisions for implementation of replacement rates for Term SOFR-based and EURIBOR-based loans. The 2023 Credit Facility also includes a pricing grid that determines the applicable margin based on Xylem's credit rating, with a further adjustment based on Xylem's achievement of certain Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") key performance indicators. Xylem will also pay quarterly fees to each lender for such lender's commitment to lend accruing on such commitment at a rate based on Xylem's credit rating, whether such commitment is used or unused, as well as a quarterly letter of credit fee accruing on the letter of credit exposure of such lender during the preceding quarter at a rate based on the credit rating of Xylem with a further adjustment based on Xylem's achievement of certain ESG key performance indicators.
The 2023 Credit Facility requires that Xylem maintain a consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio (or maximum leverage ratio), which will be based on the last four fiscal quarters. In accordance with the terms of the agreement to the 2023 Credit Facility, Xylem may not exceed a maximum leverage ratio of 4.00 to 1.00 for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning with the fiscal quarter during which a material acquisition is consummated and a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 thereafter for a minimum of four fiscal quarters before another material acquisition is consummated. In addition, the 2023 Credit Facility contains a number of customary covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of secured debt and debt of subsidiaries, liens, sale and lease-back transactions, mergers, consolidations, liquidations, dissolutions and sales of assets. The 2023 Credit Facility also contains customary events of default. Finally, Xylem has the ability to designate subsidiaries that can borrow under the 2023 Credit Facility, subject to certain requirements and conditions set forth in the 2023 Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2023, the 2023 Credit Facility was undrawn and we are in compliance with all revolver covenants.

Stock Option Grants
The following is a summary of the changes in outstanding stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2023:
Share units (in thousands) | Weighted Average Exercise Price / Share | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Outstanding at January 1, 2023 | 1,935 | $ | 67.55 | 5.9 | $ | 83 | |||||||||||||||||

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 six months ended June 30, 2023 was $109 million.
Stock Option Fair Value
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the binomial lattice pricing model which incorporates multiple and variable assumptions over time, including employee exercise patterns, stock price volatility and changes in dividends. The following are weighted-average assumptions for 2023 grants:
| Volatility | 27.30 | % | ||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.25 | % | ||||||
| Dividend yield | 1.31 | % | ||||||
| Expected term (in years) | 5.4 | |||||||
| Weighted-average fair value / share | $ | 29.06 | ||||||
Expected volatility is calculated based on an analysis of historic volatility measures for Xylem. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination behavior within the valuation model. Employee groups and option characteristics are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term represents an estimate of the period of time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of option grant.
28
Restricted Stock Unit Grants
The following is a summary of restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The fair value of the restricted share unit awards is determined using the closing price of our common stock on date of grant:

| Forfeited | (22) | 95.65 | |||||||||
| Outstanding at June 30, 2023 | 1,272 | $ | 96.05 | ||||||||
Adjusted EBITDA Performance Share Unit Grants
As approved by the Leadership Development & Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, for the 2023-2025 performance period, the completion of the acquisition of Evoqua transitioned one of the performance share unit metrics from a pre-set, three-year adjusted Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC") performance target to a pre-set, third-year adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (“EBITDA”) performance target for the combined company.
The following is a summary of our ROIC and EBITDA grants for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The fair value of the adjusted EBITDA performance share units is equal to the closing share price on the date of the grant:
Share units (in thousands) | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value / Share | ||||||||||
| Outstanding at January 1, 2023 | 146 | $ | 88.78 | ||||||||
| Granted | 33 | 101.11 | |||||||||
| Forfeited (a) | (66) | 81.94 | |||||||||
| Outstanding at June 30, 2023 | 113 | $ | 97.75 | ||||||||
(a) Includes adjusted ROIC performance share unit awards forfeited during the period as a result of the final performance condition not being achieved on vest date.
TSR Performance Share Unit Grants
The following is a summary of our Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") performance share unit grants for the six months ended June 30, 2023:
Share units (in thousands) | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value / Share | ||||||||||
| Outstanding at January 1, 2023 | 178 | $ | 100.67 | ||||||||
| Granted | 66 | 109.57 | |||||||||
| Adjustment for Market Condition Achieved (a) | 40 | 102.55 | |||||||||

| Forfeited | (4) | 114.09 | |||||||||
| Outstanding at June 30, 2023 | 178 | $ | 103.76 | ||||||||
(a) Represents an increase in the number of original TSR performance share units awarded based on the final market condition achievement at the end of the performance period of such awards.
29
The fair value of TSR performance share units was calculated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing several key assumptions, including expected Company and peer company share price volatility, correlation coefficients between peers, the risk-free rate of return, the expected dividend yield and other award design features. The following are weighted-average assumptions for 2023 grants:
| Volatility | 35.9 | % | ||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.66 | % | ||||||
Revenue Performance Share Unit Grants
The following is a summary of our Revenue performance share unit grants for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in legal and regulatory proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses (or the business operations of previously-owned entities). These proceedings may seek remedies relating to matters including environmental, tax, intellectual property, acquisitions or divestitures, product liability, property damage, personal injury, privacy, employment, labor and pension, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes.
See Note 6, "Income Taxes," of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of a pending tax litigation matter.
Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claims, we do not believe it is reasonably possible that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, or financial condition. We have estimated and accrued $12 million and $5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, for these general legal matters.
32
Guarantees
We obtain certain stand-by letters of credit, bank guarantees, surety bonds and insurance letters of credit from third-party financial institutions in the ordinary course of business when required under contracts or to satisfy insurance-related requirements. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amount of surety bonds, bank guarantees, insurance letters of credit, stand-by letters of credit as well as revenue and customs guarantees was $716 million and $451 million, respectively.
Environmental
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. We are responsible, or are alleged to be responsible, for ongoing environmental investigation and remediation of sites in various countries. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in many of these proceedings our liability is considered de minimis. We have received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and from similar state and foreign environmental agencies, that a number of sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by Xylem or for which we are responsible, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances where we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations.
Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site-by-site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. Our accrued liabilities for these environmental matters represent our best estimates related to the investigation and remediation of environmental media such as water, soil, soil vapor, air and structures, as well as related legal fees. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed quarterly and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for these environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis. We have estimated and accrued $4 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for environmental matters.
It is difficult to estimate the final costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of investigation or remediation and our share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of alternative remedial approaches, and changes in environmental standards and regulatory requirements. We believe the total amount accrued is reasonable based on existing facts and circumstances.
Warranties
We warrant numerous products, the terms of which vary widely. In general, we warrant products against defect and specific non-performance. The table below provides changes in the combined current and non-current product warranty accruals over each period:
| (in millions) | 2023 | 2022 | |||||||||

Overview
Xylem is a leading global water technology company. We design, manufacture and service highly engineered products and solutions ranging across a wide variety of critical applications in utility, industrial, residential and commercial building solutions settings. Our broad portfolio of solutions addresses customer needs of scarcity, resilience, and affordability across the water cycle, from the delivery, measurement and use of drinking water to the collection, test, treatment and analysis of wastewater to the return of water to the environment. Our product and service offerings are organized into four reportable segments that are aligned around the critical market applications they provide: Water Infrastructure, Applied Water, Measurement & Control Solutions and Integrated Solutions & Services.
•Water Infrastructure serves the water infrastructure sector with pump systems that transport water from aquifers, lakes, rivers and seas; with filtration, ultraviolet and ozone systems that provide treatment, making the water fit to use; and pumping solutions that move the wastewater and storm water to treatment facilities where our mixers, biological treatment, monitoring and control systems provide the primary functions in the treatment process. We also provide sales and rental of specialty dewatering pumps and related equipment and services. Additionally, our offerings use monitoring and control, smart and connected technologies to allow for remote monitoring of performance and enable products to self-optimize pump operations maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing unplanned downtime and maintenance for our customers. In the Water Infrastructure segment, we provide the majority of our sales directly to customers along with strong applications expertise, while the remaining amount is through distribution partners. The Water Infrastructure segment also includes legacy-Evoqua's Applied Product Technologies (APT) segment. APT provides a range of highly differentiated and scalable products and technologies with product offerings in the filtration and separation, disinfection, wastewater solutions, anode and electrochlorination technology, and aquatics technologies and solutions spaces.
•Applied Water serves the water usage applications sector with water pressure boosting systems for heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and for fire protection systems to the residential and commercial building solutions markets. In addition, our pumps, heat exchangers and controls provide cooling to power plants and manufacturing facilities, circulation for food and beverage processing, as well as boosting systems for agricultural irrigation. In the Applied Water segment, we provide the majority of our sales through long-standing relationships with many of the leading independent distributors in the markets we serve, with the remainder going directly to customers.
•Measurement & Control Solutions primarily serves the utility infrastructure solutions and services sector by delivering communications, smart metering, measurement and control capabilities and critical infrastructure technologies that allow customers to more effectively use their distribution networks for the delivery, monitoring and control of critical resources such as water, electricity and natural gas. We also provide analytical instrumentation used to measure and analyze water quality, flow and level in clean water, wastewater and outdoor water environments. Additionally, we offer software and services including cloud-based analytics, remote monitoring and data management, leak detection, condition assessment, asset management and pressure monitoring solutions. In the Measurement & Control Solutions segment, we generate our sales through a combination of long-standing relationships with leading distributors and dedicated channel partners, as well as direct sales depending on the regional availability of distribution channels and the type of product.
37
•Integrated Solutions & 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.
Evoqua Acquisition
On May 24, 2023, Xylem completed the acquisition of Evoqua. Commencing from the acquisition date, Xylem’s financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of Evoqua. Refer to Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," for additional information.
Coinciding with the Evoqua acquisition, Xylem has updated our adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per share to add back non-cash purchase accounting intangible amortization and recast 2022 amounts to reflect the change on a comparative basis.
Executive Summary
Xylem reported revenue for the second quarter of 2023 of $1,722 million, an increase of 26.2% compared to $1,364 million reported in the second quarter of 2022. The revenue increase consisted of strong organic growth of 14.6%, driven by strong revenue performance across the segments and in all of our major geographic regions, and increased revenue from the Evoqua acquisition of 13.0%, which was marginally offset by currency translation headwinds of 1.4%.
We generated operating income of $119 million (margin of 6.9%) during the second quarter of 2023, as compared to $146 million (margin of 10.7%) in 2022. Operating income in the second quarter of 2023 included an increase in special charges of $66 million and an unfavorable impact from increased restructuring and realignment costs of $29 million and an unfavorable increase to intangible amortization from acquisitions of $18 million as compared to the second quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of special charges, restructuring and realignment costs and intangible amortization from acquisitions, adjusted operating income was $259 million (adjusted margin of 15.0%) during the second quarter of 2023 as compared to $173 million (adjusted margin of 12.7%) in 2022. The increase in adjusted operating margin was primarily due to price realization, productivity savings and favorable volume. These impacts were partially offset by inflation, spending on strategic investments, unfavorable mix, and inventory management costs.
Additional financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 include the following:
•Orders of $1,856 million, up 10.2% from $1,684 million in the prior year period, and down 1.6% on an organic basis.
•Earnings per share of $0.45, down 27.4% compared to prior year ($0.98, up 32.4% versus prior year, on an adjusted basis).
•Net income as a percent of revenue of 5.3%, down 290 basis points compared to 8.2% in the prior year. EBITDA margin of 12.3%, down 280 basis points when compared to 15.1% in the prior year (EBITDA margin of 19.1% on an adjusted basis, up 250 basis points)
38
Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, gross margins, segment operating income margins, free cash flow, orders growth, working capital and backlog, among others. In addition, we consider certain non-GAAP (or "adjusted") measures to be useful to management and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and to provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures, our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, dividends, acquisitions, share repurchases and debt repayment. Excluding revenue, Xylem provides guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain amounts that would be included in GAAP earnings, such as discrete tax items, without unreasonable effort. These adjusted metrics are consistent with how management views our business and are used to make financial, operating and planning decisions. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share (basic and diluted) or net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures to be key performance indicators, as well as the related reconciling items to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
•"organic revenue" and "organic orders" defined as revenue and orders, respectively, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency translation and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures. Divestitures include sales or discontinuance of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency translation impacts is determined by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate.
•"constant currency" defined as financial results adjusted for foreign currency translation impacts by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
•"adjusted net income" and "adjusted earnings per share" defined as net income and earnings per share, respectively, adjusted to exclude restructuring and realignment costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain or loss from the sale of businesses, special charges and tax-related special items, as applicable. A reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share is provided below.

2023 Outlook
We are updating our total revenue growth to approximately 30%, and organic revenue growth to be in the range of 9% to 10% in 2023. The following is a summary of our organic revenue performance and the organic revenue outlook by end market.
•Utilities revenue increased by approximately 20% through the first half of the year on an organic basis driven by strength across all major geographic regions. For the remainder of 2023, we now expect organic revenue growth in the mid teens. On the clean water side, we anticipate growth from the conversion of our resilient backlog due to continued improvement in chip supply. Additionally, we expect strong order momentum from smart water demand. We expect wastewater utilities to remain focused on mission-critical applications in wastewater. Long-term capital expenditure outlook is strong due to aging infrastructure and the emerging markets’ continued advancement.
•Industrial revenue increased by approximately 12% through the first half of the year on an organic basis driven by strength across all major geographic regions. For 2023, we continue to expect organic revenue growth in the mid-single-digits. We anticipate resilient demand across most industrials. In light and general industry, we are seeing sustained demand globally, through resilient, recurring service revenue and healthy dewatering demand.
•In the building solutions markets, revenue increased by approximately 13% through the first half of the year on an organic basis driven by strength in the U.S. and western Europe. For the remainder of 2023, we expect organic revenue growth in the mid-single-digits. In the commercial market, we expect resilient demand for energy efficiency related projects, particularly in Europe. We continue to monitor new construction, a smaller portion of our portfolio, for signs of moderation. In the residential market, which are predominantly driven by solid replacement revenue serviced through our distribution network, we are continuing to experience market softness, particularly in the U.S.
We will continue to strategically execute restructuring and realignment actions in an effort to advance our integration of Evoqua, optimize our cost structure, improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness, strengthen our competitive positioning and better serve our customers. During 2023, we expect to incur approximately $90 million to $95 million in restructuring and realignment costs.

Revenue
Revenue generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $1,722 million and $3,170 million, reflecting increases of $358 million, or 26.2%, and $534 million, or 20.3%, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. On a constant currency basis, revenue grew 27.6% and 22.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Revenue growth contributed by acquisitions was $178 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and organic revenue increased $199 million and $420 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, partially offset by negative impacts from foreign currency translation of $19 million and $64 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The increases reflect strong organic growth across all of our segments and in all of our major geographic regions for both periods.
The following table illustrates the impact from organic growth, recent acquisitions and divestitures, and foreign currency translation in relation to revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023:

Water Infrastructure
Water Infrastructure revenue increased $115 million, or 19.5%, for the second quarter of 2023 (21.6% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Revenue growth for the quarter was partially made up of the revenue contributed by acquisitions from the APT business of $53 million, with the remainder of the increase coming from organic revenue growth of $74 million, or 12.6%. Revenue was negatively impacted by $12 million of foreign currency translation, with the change at constant currency of $127 million. Organic growth for the quarter was driven by strength in both the utilities and industrial end markets. The utilities end market experienced organic growth of $43 million across all major geographic regions, particularly in the U.S. driven by strong price realization and higher demand in our rental business. Western Europe also experienced strong organic growth due to robust demand in utilities' capital spending coupled with good price realization. The industrial end market had $31 million of organic growth led by strength in western Europe driven by capital projects and strong price realization and the U.S. due to good price realization.
From an application perspective, excluding the $53 million contributed by acquisitions, organic revenue growth was primarily driven by our transport applications. Transport experienced $60 million of revenue growth, across all three of our major geographic regions. Growth was led by the U.S., driven by strong price realization, increased
43
sales volume and higher demand in our rental business. Western Europe also experienced growth due to utility and other capital projects and price realization. Organic revenue for the treatment application grew by $14 million for the quarter, led by organic revenue growth in the U.S., due to project timing and increases in the emerging markets from project timing due to COVID recovery in China.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenue increased $171 million, or 15.2% (18.5% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Revenue growth was partially made up of the revenue contributed by acquisitions from the APT business of $53 million. Revenue was negatively impacted by $37 million of foreign currency translation, with the change at constant currency coming from organic growth of $155 million or 13.8%. Organic growth for the period was driven by strength in both the utility and industrial end markets. The utilities end market experienced organic growth across all of our major geographic regions totaling $89 million. Organic growth for the period was driven by the U.S., where we experienced strong price realization, project timing and higher demand in our rental business. Western Europe also experienced strong organic growth due to robust demand in utilities' capital spending coupled with good price realization. The industrial end market had $66 million of organic growth across all major geographies, particularly in western Europe driven by capital projects and strong price realization and growth in the U.S. due to good price realization. The emerging markets also experienced growth due to projects in Latin America.
From an application perspective, excluding the $53 million contributed by acquisitions, organic revenue growth during the six-month period was driven by our transport applications with $139 million of revenue growth. The increase in organic revenue was led by the U.S., where we experienced strong price realization and sales volume, as well as increased rental volumes in the dewatering business when compared to the prior year. Western Europe also experienced increases due to strong price realization along with demand from utility capital projects. The emerging markets also had strong growth primarily due to increased projects in Latin America and China. Organic revenue for the treatment application also contributed $16 million of organic sales growth across all major geographic regions driven by project timing and strong backlog execution.
Applied Water
Applied Water revenue increased $49 million, or 11.4%, for the second quarter of 2023 (12.4% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Revenue was negatively impacted by $4 million of foreign currency translation, with the change at constant currency coming entirely from organic growth of $53 million. Organic growth was driven by strength in the commercial and industrial end markets/applications, partially offset by a decline in the residential end market/application versus the comparable period. Organic revenue growth in the second quarter was led by strength in commercial building solutions of $45 million, primarily in the U.S. where we benefited from strong price realization and backlog execution. Industrial water had strong organic growth in the quarter of $20 million, across all three of our major geographic regions, driven primarily by recovery from prior year COVID-19 impacts in the emerging markets. Residential building solutions was down $12 million organically for the quarter, primarily in the U.S. due to healthy order intake in the prior year that did not recur.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenue increased $77 million, or 9.0% (11.0% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Revenue was negatively impacted by $17 million of foreign currency translation during the six month period, with the change at constant currency coming primarily from organic growth of $94 million. Organic growth during the period was driven by all major geographic regions, with particular strength in the U.S. commercial building solutions grew $71 million organically during the period, driven by strong price realization in the U.S. The industrial water application achieved organic growth of $36 million, led by the emerging markets due to recovery from prior year COVID-19 impacts and in western Europe due to strong price realization and healthy demand. The residential building solutions application saw a decline in revenue of $13 million, primarily in the emerging markets and U.S.
Measurement & Control Solutions
Measurement & Control Solutions revenue increased $69 million, or 19.9%, for the second quarter of 2023 (20.8% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Revenue was negatively impacted by $3 million of foreign currency translation, with the change at constant currency coming entirely from organic growth of $72 million, or 20.8%. The segment experienced organic revenue growth across all three major geographic regions and in both of the segment's end markets for the quarter, driven by $70 million of organic growth in the utility end market, primarily in the U.S., and to a lesser extent, in western Europe, driven by increased demand, enabled by recovery on prior year component constraints and price realization. The industrial end market saw $2 million organic revenue growth.
From an application perspective, organic revenue growth during the quarter was driven by both the water and energy applications. The water application had strong organic growth of $47 million, primarily in the U.S. and to a lesser extent in western Europe, driven by increased demand, enabled by recovery on prior year component constraints and backlog execution. The energy applications grew $25 million organically, primarily in the U.S. where we saw greater electronic component availability.
44
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenue increased $161 million, or 24.4% (25.9% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Revenue was negatively impacted by $10 million of foreign currency translation, with the change at constant currency coming from an organic increase of $171 million (25.9% increase). The segment experienced organic revenue growth across all three major geographic regions and in both of the segment's end markets for the quarter, driven by $161 million of organic growth in the utility end market, primarily in the U.S., driven by increased demand, enabled by recovery on prior year component constraints and backlog execution. Western Europe also experienced increases driven by backlog execution. The industrial end market grew organically by $10 million across all geographic regions driven by backlog execution in our test business.
From an application perspective, organic revenue growth during the six-month period consisted of growth in the water application of $123 million, primarily in the U.S. and to a lesser extent in western Europe, driven by increased demand, enabled by recovery on prior year component constraints and backlog execution.

Water Infrastructure
Water Infrastructure segment orders increased $20 million, or 2.7%, to $751 million (4.5% increase on a constant currency basis) for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year. The order increase included orders from recent acquisitions of $59 million from the APT business partially offset by an organic order decline of $26 million, or 3.6%. Order intake for the period was negatively impacted by $13 million of foreign currency translation. Organic orders decreased during the quarter primarily in the transport applications due to declines in orders in the U.S. driven by large infrastructure projects in the prior period which did not recur in the current period. This decline in order intake was partially offset by order growth in the dewatering business, primarily driven by rental orders and increased activity in the mining industry in Latin America. The treatment application saw a slight decrease in orders driven by western Europe due to project order wins in the prior year. Orders in the treatment application remained relatively flat as compared to the prior year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, orders decreased by $1 million, which was partially made up of the orders contributed by acquisitions from the APT business of $59 million, offset by an $18 million, or 1.3%, decrease in organic orders. Order intake for the period was negatively impacted by $42 million of foreign currency translation. Organic orders decreased during the quarter primarily in the transport applications due to declines in orders in the U.S. driven by large infrastructure projects in the prior period which did not recur in the current period. This decline in order intake was partially offset by order strength in the dewatering business, led by rental orders primarily in the emerging markets. The treatment application saw a slight decrease in orders driven by western Europe due to project order wins in the prior year.
Applied Water
Applied Water segment orders decreased $35 million, or 7.3%, to $445 million (6.0% decrease on a constant currency basis) for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year. Order intake for the quarter was negatively impacted by $6 million of foreign currency translation. The decrease in organic orders was driven by weakness in the U.S. from lower demand and timing of orders, which was partially offset by strength in the emerging markets due to recovery from prior year COVID-19 impacts.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, orders decreased $57 million, or 5.8%, to $928 million (3.4% decrease on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Order intake for the period was negatively impacted by $24 million of foreign currency translation. Weakness in the U.S. from lower demand and timing of orders was partially offset by strength in the emerging markets due to recovery from prior year COVID-19 impacts.
46
Measurement & Control Solutions
Measurement & Control Solutions segment orders increased $24 million, or 5.1%, to $497 million (5.9% increase on a constant currency basis) for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year. Order growth for the quarter was negatively impacted by $4 million of foreign currency translation. Organic order growth was driven primarily by the water application in the U.S. and emerging markets. Order growth within water applications was due to large project orders in the U.S., which was partially offset by declines across our energy applications in the U.S., due to lower demand.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, orders decreased $78 million or 7.6%, to $945 million (6.6% decrease on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Order intake for the period was negatively impacted by $10 million of foreign currency translation. The order decrease on a constant currency basis consisted primarily of organic order declines of $68 million or 6.6%. Organic order intake was negatively impacted by lower demand across the energy application, particularly in the U.S., lapping strong order growth in the second quarter. This decline was partially offset by growth in the U.S., due to increased demand in water applications.
Integrated Solutions & Services
The Integration Solutions & Services segment contributed total orders of $163 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. See Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Backlog
Backlog includes orders on hand as well as contractual customer agreements at the end of the period. Delivery schedules vary from customer to customer based on their requirements. Annual or multi-year contracts are subject to rescheduling and cancellation by customers due to the long-term nature of the contracts. As such, beginning total backlog, plus orders, minus revenues, will not equal ending total backlog due to contract adjustments, foreign currency fluctuations, and other factors. Typically, large projects require longer lead production cycles and deployment schedules and delays occur from time to time. Total backlog was $5,271 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $1,514 million or 40.3%, as compared to June 30, 2022 backlog of $3,757 million, and an increase of $1,666 million or 46.2%, as compared to December 31, 2022 backlog of $3,605 million, driven by the order intake in the quarter outpacing revenue. We anticipate that approximately 39% of the backlog at June 30, 2023 will be recognized as revenue in the remainder of 2023. There were no significant order cancellations during the quarter.
Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased 30 and increased 40 basis points to 37.8% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 38.1% and 37.4% for the comparative 2022 period. The gross margin decrease for the quarter included favorable impacts of price realization offset by negative impacts of inflation and mix. The gross margin increase for the six month period included favorable impacts of price realization and productivity savings offset by negative impacts of inflation and unfavorable mix.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses
SG&A expenses increased by $132 million to $446 million, or 25.9% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2023, as compared to $314 million, or 23.0% of revenue, in the comparable 2022 period; and increased by $182 million to $800 million, or 25.2% of revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $618 million, or 23.4% of revenue, in the comparable 2022 period. Increases in SG&A in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the prior year primarily consisted of increased restructuring and realignment costs of $29 million, increased special charges of $51 million, $34 million of additional SG&A from the acquisition and $13 million of inflation. Increases in SG&A in the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year were driven by increased restructuring and realignment costs of $36 million, an increase of $74 million in special charges, $34 million of additional SG&A from the acquisition and $27 million of inflation.
Research and Development ("R&D") Expenses
R&D expense was $58 million, or 3.4% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2023, as compared to $53 million, or 3.9% of revenue in the second quarter of 2022; and was $111 million, or 3.5% of revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $105 million, or 4.0% of revenue, in the comparable 2022 period. The R&D spend has remained fairly consistent year over year with a small increase in R&D expense as a result of less R&D being captialized in the current year as compared to prior year.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
Restructuring
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred restructuring costs of $28 million and $34 million, respectively. We incurred these charges primarily as a result of our acquisition of Evoqua. Approximately, $14 million of the charges related to stock based compensation expense due to acceleration clauses in equity compensation agreements and approximately $14 million of the charges represented the reduction of headcount. Additionally, we incurred $6 million of charges related to our efforts to reposition our European and North American businesses to optimize our cost structure, improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness, strengthen our competitive positioning and better serve our customers. The charges were incurred across all of our segments.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred restructuring charges of $6 million. We incurred these charges primarily as a continuation of our efforts to reposition our European and North American businesses to optimize our cost structure and improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness. The charges included the reduction of headcount across all segments.
The following is a roll-forward for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 of employee position eliminations associated with restructuring activities:

Integrated Solutions & Services
Operating loss for our Integrated Solutions & Services segment for the three and six months ended was $7 million (operating margin of negative 5.6%) . Excluding amortization of acquired intangible asset amortization, special charges and restructuring and realignment costs, adjusted operating income was $18 million (adjusted operating margin of 14.4%).

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, operating loss for corporate and other increased $102 million, or 340%, compared to the same prior period. The increase in operating loss for the three months ended June 30,2023 was primarily due to special charges related to acquisition and integration costs resulting from the acquisition of Evoqua and increased restructuring and realignment costs. Additional corporate costs driven by the Evoqua acquisition also contributed to the increase in operating loss for the quarter. The increase in operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by special charges related to acquisition and integration costs resulting from the acquisition of Evoqua and increased restructuring and realignment costs, The timing of corporate initiatives, higher employee benefit costs, increased strategic initiatives and additional corporate costs driven by the acquisition of Evoqua also contributed to the higher operating loss. Excluding special charges and restructuring and realignment costs, adjusted operating loss for corporate and other increased $2 million and $10 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively driven by the factors previously noted.
57
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, flat with the comparable prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 interest expense was $21 million compared to $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by interest expense incurred during 2022 related to our 2.250% Senior Notes due 2023 that were paid off in December 2022 and reduced expense generated by cross currency swaps. Partially offsetting these items was interest expense on several debt facilities including, a term loan entered into in May 2023 for use in funding the acquisition of Evoqua, securitization and equipment financing facilities assumed as part of our acquisition of Evoqua and commercial paper. See Note 9, “Derivative Financial Instruments” and Note 12, "Credit Facilities and Debt," of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of our net investment hedges and credit facilities and long-term debt, respectively.
Income Tax Expense
The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $22 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.1%, compared to a $24 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 17.5% for the same period in 2022. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 differs from the same period in 2022 due to the impact of earnings mix and nondeductible transaction costs recorded.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Operating Activities
Cash generated by operating activities was $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $32 million in the comparable prior year period. The reduction in cash provided was primarily driven by higher tax payments, the investment in a distribution agreement of select technology and the payment of transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Evoqua. Reductions in inventory levels and higher cash earnings partially offset these items.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $489 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to $84 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in cash used reflects payments related to the acquisition of Evoqua, cash paid for equity investments and increased capital expenditures. The sale of a business and cash received from the termination of acquired interest rate swaps partially offset these items.
Financing Activities
Cash generated by financing activities was $235 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to cash used of $158 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in cash provided was primarily driven by cash received from a new term loan facility, the issuance of commercial paper, a reduction in stock repurchases and proceeds for the exercise of employee stock options. Higher dividend payments partially offset these cash inflows.
Funding and Liquidity Strategy
Our ability to fund our capital needs depends on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and access to bank financing and the capital markets. We continually evaluate aspects of our spending, including capital expenditures, strategic investments and dividends.
If our cash flows from operations are less than we expect, we may need to incur debt or issue equity. From time to time, we may need to access the long-term and short-term capital markets to obtain financing. Our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future will be impacted by many factors, including: (i) our credit ratings or absence of a credit rating, (ii) the liquidity of the overall capital markets, and (iii) the current state of the economy. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or that such financing will be available at all. Our securities are rated investment grade. A significant change in credit rating could impact our ability to borrow at favorable rates. Refer to Note 12, "Credit Facilities and Debt", of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of limitations on obtaining additional funding.
We monitor our global funding requirements and seek to meet our liquidity needs on a cost-effective basis. In addition, our existing committed credit facilities and access to the public debt markets would provide further liquidity if required.
Based on our current global cash positions, cash flows from operations and access to the capital markets, we believe there is sufficient liquidity to meet our funding requirements and service debt and other obligations in both
59
the U.S. and outside of the U.S. during the year. As of June 30, 2023, we have $925 million available under our 2023 Credit Facility and $708 million of cash and cash equivalents, resulting in available liquidity of $1.6 billion.
Risks related to these items are described in our risk factor disclosures referenced under “Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2022 Annual Report.
Credit Facilities & Long-Term Contractual Commitments
See Note 12, "Credit Facilities and Debt," of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of our credit facilities and long-term debt.
Non-U.S. Operations
We generated approximately 49% and 54% of our revenue from non-U.S. operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As we continue to grow our operations in the emerging markets and elsewhere outside of the U.S., we expect to continue to generate significant revenue from non-U.S. operations and expect that a substantial portion of our cash will be held by our foreign subsidiaries. We expect to manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We may transfer cash from certain international subsidiaries to the U.S. and other international subsidiaries when we believe it is cost-effective to do so. We continually review our domestic and foreign cash profile and our, expected future cash generation and investment opportunities, and reassess whether there is a need to repatriate funds held internationally to support our U.S. operations. As of June 30, 2023, we have provided a deferred tax liability of $22 million for net foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes on $650 million of earnings expected to be repatriated to the U.S. parent as deemed necessary in the future.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and capital resources are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2022 Annual Report describes the critical accounting estimates used in preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the information concerning our critical accounting estimates as stated in our 2022 Annual Report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There has been no material change in the information concerning market risk as stated in our 2022 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in legal and regulatory proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses (or the business operations of previously-owned entities). These proceedings may seek remedies relating to matters including environmental, tax, intellectual property, acquisitions or divestitures, product liability, property damage, personal injury, privacy, employment, labor and pension, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes. See Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information and any updates.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Information regarding our risk factors appears in Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023 (“Annual Report”). These risk factors describe some of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, the following risk factors represent material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Item 1A. of our Annual Report.
Wastewater treatment operations and the handling, storage, release or disposal of hazardous materials may result in contamination, environmental or other liabilities or pose other significant risks that could cause us to incur significant costs and reputational harm.
Wastewater treatment involves various unique risks. If our treatment systems fail or do not operate properly, or if there is a spill, untreated or partially treated wastewater could discharge onto property or into nearby bodies of water and groundwater, causing various damages and injuries, including environmental. Liabilities resulting from such events, damages and injuries could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
Furthermore, certain of our business activities, including those of our ISS segment, include manufacturing processes and waste recycling and treatment processes that currently involve the use, treatment, storage, transfer, handling and/or disposal of hazardous materials, chemicals, and wastes. These business activities create a risk of accidental contamination or injury to our employees, customers and other third parties, the general public (as end-users of our industrial and municipal customers’ products and services), and the environment. As such, these activities create a risk of significant legal and environmental liabilities and reputational damage. For example, under applicable environmental laws and regulations, including RCRA and CERCLA, we could be strictly, jointly, and severally liable for releases of regulated substances by us at our current or former properties or the properties of others or by other businesses that previously owned or used our current or former properties. We could also be liable or incur reputational damage if we merely generate hazardous materials or wastes, or arrange for their transportation, disposal, or treatment, or we transport such materials, and they are subsequently released or cause harm.
In the event that our business activities and wastewater treatment operations result in legal or environmental claims, damage or liabilities, including those described above, we could incur significant costs or reputational damage in connection with legal defense, investigation and remediation of environmental contamination, and damages related to property damage, personal injuries and natural resources. Such costs and liabilities could exceed any applicable insurance coverage we may have.
Additionally, we are subject to, on an ongoing basis, federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous materials and specified waste products. The cost of compliance with these laws and regulations may become significant and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
If we are unable to successfully execute large projects and meet customers’ timelines and performance and safety requirements, this could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.
A portion of our revenue is derived from large projects that are technically complex and may occur over multiple years. These projects are subject to a number of significant risks, including project delays, cost overruns, changes
62
in scope, unanticipated site conditions, design and engineering issues, incorrect cost assumptions, increases in the cost of materials and labor, health and safety hazards, subcontractor performance issues, weather issues and changes in laws or permitting requirements. If we are unable to manage these risks, we may incur higher costs, liquidated damages, and other liabilities to our customers, which may decrease our profitability and harm our reputation.
Furthermore, our project-based customers typically require performance guarantees as to the effluent water produced by our water treatment equipment and services. Failure of our products and services to meet our performance guarantees may increase costs by requiring additional engineering, replacement of parts and equipment and frequent replacement of consumables, or monetary reimbursement to a customer, and could otherwise result in liability to our customers. There are significant uncertainties and judgments involved in estimating performance guarantee obligations, including changing product designs, differences in customer installation processes and failure to identify or disclaim certain variables in a customer’s influent. To the extent that we incur substantial performance guarantee claims in any period, our reputation, earnings, and ability to obtain future business could be materially adversely affected.
Many of our customers also have safety performance requirements that we must meet in order to be allowed access to their sites to perform our services, install our products and execute projects. Risks arising from unsafe products or performance by our employees include, among other things, delays in or suspension of site access to service or timely deliver our products. Workplace accidents or near-accidents, product-related accidents, or the failure to follow our own or our customers’ safety policies could also damage our reputation or our customers’ perception of our safety record, which could have a material adverse impact on demand for our products and services, result in additional costs to our business or the loss of customers, result in litigation against us or increase government or regulatory oversight over us.
