Xylem Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

Revenue of $2.3 billion, up 6% on a reported and organic basis
Earnings per share of $0.93, up 16%; $1.26 on an adjusted basis, also up 16%
Raising full-year 2025 revenue and adjusted earnings per share guidance

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 31, 2025 -- Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water solutions company dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues, today reported second-quarter 2025 results. The Company delivered total revenue of $2.3 billion, on strong execution and demand. Second-quarter earnings per share were up 16 percent on a reported and adjusted basis.

“Our team delivered another strong quarter, exceeding expectations with robust organic revenue growth across all segments, a record-high adjusted EBITDA margin, and double-digit EPS growth,” said Matthew Pine, Xylem’s president and CEO. “Based on our team’s disciplined execution on resilient underlying demand, we are raising our full-year guidance.”

“This performance underscores the transformation of our operating model. Our simplification efforts have already yielded measurable gains in speed, accountability, and customer responsiveness. We continue to build energy and momentum across the enterprise, reinforcing our confidence in delivering a strong second half and a clear path to profitable, above-market growth and long-term value creation.”

Net income attributable to Xylem for the quarter was $226million, or $0.93 per share. Net income margin increased 90 basis points to 9.8 percent, driven by strong operational performance. Adjusted net income was $307 million, or $1.26 per share, which excludes the impacts of purchase accounting intangible amortization, restructuring and realignment costs, special charges, tax-related specials and the net tax impact of these adjustments.

Second-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin was 21.8 percent, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 100 basis points. Productivity savings and strong price realization drove the margin expansion, exceeding the impact of inflation and mix.

Outlook

Xylem now forecasts full-year 2025 revenue of approximately $8.9 to $9.0 billion, up approximately 4 to 5 percent on a reported basis, versus 1 to 2 percent previously guided, and up approximately 4 percent on an organic basis.

Full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 21.3 to 21.8 percent, an increase of 70 to 120 basis points from Xylem’s 2024 adjusted results. This results in full-year adjusted earnings per share of $4.70 to $4.85, versus the previous guide of $4.50 to $4.70. Full-year free cash flow margin is still expected to be approximately 9 to 10 percent.

Further 2025 planning assumptions are included in Xylem’s second-quarter 2025 earnings materials posted at www.xylem.com/investors. Excluding revenue, Xylem provides guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain amounts that would be included in GAAP earnings, such as discrete tax items, without unreasonable effort. Outlook is being provided in the context of the current volatility, including due to geopolitical, trade, macroeconomic and regulatory uncertainty.

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

Xylem Inc. Non-GAAP Measures
Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, gross margins, segment operating income and margins, orders growth, working capital and backlog, among others. In addition, we consider certain non-GAAP (or "adjusted") measures to be useful to management and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and to provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including but not limited to, dividends, acquisitions, share repurchases and debt repayment. Excluding revenue, Xylem provides guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain amounts that would be included in GAAP earnings, such as discrete tax items, without unreasonable effort. These adjusted metrics are consistent with how management views our business and are used to make financial, operating and planning decisions. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share (basic and diluted) or net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following items to represent the non-GAAP measures that we consider to be key performance indicators, as well as the related reconciling items to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
“Organic revenue” and “Organic orders” defined as revenue and orders, respectively, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency translation and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures. Divestitures include sales or discontinuance of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency translation impacts is determined by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate.
“Constant currency” defined as financial results adjusted for foreign currency translation impacts by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
“EBITDA” defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. “Adjusted EBITDA” and "Adjusted Segment EBITDA" reflect the adjustments to EBITDA and segment EBITDA, respectively, to exclude share-based compensation charges, restructuring and realignment costs, gain or loss from sale of businesses and special charges.
“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” and “Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin” defined as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA divided by total revenue and segment revenue, respectively.
“Adjusted Operating Income”, “Adjusted Segment Operating Income”, “Adjusted Net Income” and “Adjusted EPS” defined as operating income, segment operating income, net income attributable to Xylem and earnings per share attributable to Xylem, adjusted to exclude restructuring and realignment costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain or loss from sale of businesses, gain on remeasurement of previously held equity interest, special charges and tax-related special items, as applicable.
“Adjusted Operating Margin” and “Adjusted Segment Operating Margin” defined as adjusted operating income and adjusted segment operating income divided by total revenue and segment revenue, respectively.
“Free Cash Flow” defined as net cash from operating activities, as reported in the Statement of Cash Flows, less capital expenditures. Our definition of free cash flow does not consider certain non-discretionary cash payments, such as debt.
"Free Cash Flow Margin" defined as free cash flow, adjusted (as applicable) for significant cash paid or received for non-operational tax, acquisition or divestiture activities; divided by revenue.
“Realignment costs” defined as costs not included in restructuring costs that are incurred as part of actions taken to reposition our business, including items such as professional fees, severance, relocation, travel, facility set-up and other costs.
“Special charges” defined as non-recurring costs incurred by the Company, such as those related to acquisitions and integrations, divestitures and non-cash impairment charges.
“Tax-related special items” defined as tax items, such as tax return versus tax provision adjustments, tax exam impacts, tax law change impacts, excess tax benefits/losses and other discrete tax adjustments.
