We continue to make progress across our key priorities, while maintaining our commitment to serving customers, driving productivity and managing the business with discipline. We are encouraged by our performance and believe the actions we are taking are strengthening Pentair and positioning us for significant growth in 2027.

OUTLOOK

Mr. Stauch concluded, “Our solid third-quarter performance increases our confidence in the full-year outlook and enables us to reaffirm the midpoint of our previous guidance range. We remain focused on disciplined execution and building on this momentum as we deliver a strong finish to the year and position ourselves for robust growth in 2027.”

The Company updates its estimated 2026 GAAP EPS from continuing operations to approximately $3.76, and reaffirms the midpoint of its previous guide and expects full year adjusted EPS of approximately $4.70. The Company also updates guidance of its estimated full year 2026 sales to be down approximately 3 percent on a reported basis.

SEGMENT REORGANIZATION

Effective January 1, 2026, we reorganized the composition of our Flow and Water Solutions reportable segments to reflect how we are managing our business. As a result of this reorganization, our legacy residential and irrigation flow business moved from our Flow segment into our Water Solutions segment. The Pool segment remains unchanged. The applicable prior period amounts related to this change have been retrospectively reclassified to conform to the new composition. These changes have no impact on the Company’s historical consolidated financial performance or results of operations.
