Xylem Reports First Quarter 2024 Results and Raises Full-Year Guidance

  • Orders of $2.2 billion, up 43% on a reported basis and 3% organically
  • Revenue of $2.0 billion, up 40% on a reported basis and 7% organically
  • Earnings per share of $0.63, up 17%; $0.90 on an adjusted basis, up 14%
  • Raising full-year revenue guidance to approximately $8.5B, up 15% to 16%, with organic revenue growth of 4% to 6%, up from 3% to 5%
  • Lifting full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $4.10 to $4.25, from $4.00 to $4.20

WASHINGTON--()--Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues, today reported first-quarter results. The Company’s total revenue of $2.0 billion surpassed prior guidance, on strong execution and demand. First-quarter earnings also exceeded Xylem’s previous guidance.

“The team outperformed on all metrics and continued Xylem’s strong momentum, including record first-quarter margins,” said Matthew Pine, Xylem’s president and CEO. “Operational performance was robust on healthy demand across most segments and regions. We’re also on track to capture the synergies of our integration with Evoqua, and are driving simplification across our business to lock in and extend our margin improvements over time.”

“We are raising our full-year guidance on the strength of the team’s demonstrated ability to capitalize on our markets’ resilient demand. We are confident that Xylem’s platform of solutions is uniquely positioned to enable our customers and communities to become more water-secure, even as the world becomes more water-challenged.”

Net income was $153 million, or $0.63 per share. Net income margin increased 70 basis points to 7.5 percent. These results are driven by strong operational performance, partially offset by higher purchase accounting intangible amortization. Adjusted net income was $219 million, or $0.90 per share, which excludes the impacts of restructuring and realignment costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, loss from sale of businesses, special charges, and tax-related special items.

First-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin was 19.2 percent, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 290 basis points. Productivity savings, favorable mix, price and volume drove the margin expansion, exceeding the impact of inflation and strategic investments.

Outlook

Xylem now expects full-year 2024 revenue of approximately $8.5 billion, up approximately 15 to 16 percent on a reported basis and up approximately 4 to 6 percent on an organic basis. This represents an increase from the Company’s previous full-year guidance of 14 to 15 percent on a reported basis and 3 to 5 percent on an organic basis.

Full-year 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 20.0 percent, lifted from the previous guide of 19.4 to 19.9 percent. This results in adjusted earnings per share of $4.10 to $4.25, raised from the previous range of $4.00 to $4.20. Full-year free cash flow conversion to net income is still expected to be approximately 115 percent.

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

Supplemental information on Xylem’s first-quarter earnings 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 we consider to be key performance indicators, as well as the related reconciling items to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
 
“Organic revenue" and "Organic orders” defined as revenue and orders, respectively, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency translation and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures. Divestitures include sales or discontinuance of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency translation impacts is determined by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate.
 
“Constant currency” defined as financial results adjusted for foreign currency translation impacts by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
 
“EBITDA” defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. “Adjusted EBITDA” and "Adjusted Segment EBITDA" reflect the adjustments to EBITDA and segment EBITDA, respectively, to exclude share-based compensation charges, restructuring and realignment costs, gain or loss from sale of businesses and special charges.
 
"Adjusted EBITDA Margin" and "Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin" defined as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA divided by total revenue and segment revenue, respectively.
 
"Adjusted Operating Income", "Adjusted Segment Operating Income", "Adjusted Net Income" and “Adjusted EPS” defined as operating income, segment operating income, net income and earnings per share, adjusted to exclude restructuring and realignment costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain or loss from sale of businesses, special charges and tax-related special items, as applicable.
 
"Adjusted Operating Margin" and "Adjusted Segment Operating Margin" defined as adjusted operating income and adjusted segment operating income divided by total revenue and segment revenue, respectively.
 
“Free Cash Flow” defined as net cash from operating activities, as reported in the Statement of Cash Flows, less capital expenditures, and "Free Cash Flow Conversion" defined as Free Cash Flows divided by net income, excluding the gain on sale of businesses and other non-recurring, significant non-cash impacts, such as non-cash impairment charges and significant deferred tax items. Our definitions of "free cash flow" and "free cash flow conversion" do not consider certain non-discretionary cash payments, such as debt.
 
"Adjusted Free Cash Flow" defined as free cash flow adjusted for significant cash items for which the corresponding income statement impact does not occur within the same fiscal year.
 
“Realignment costs” defined as costs not included in restructuring costs that are incurred as part of actions taken to reposition our business, including items such as professional fees, severance, relocation, travel, facility set-up and other costs.
 
“Special charges" defined as costs incurred by the Company, such as acquisition and integration related costs 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.
