Ecolab Inc. furnished supplemental segment data that reorganizes how it reports its business and shows results at fixed currency exchange rates. Effective January 1, 2026, the former Light & Heavy operating segment was divided into three new operating segments—Heavy Water, Light Water and High-Tech—within the Global Water reportable segment, bringing the total to nine operating segments.
The company provided unaudited tables for 2025 and 2024, and for each quarter of 2025, that restate net sales, costs and operating income using 2026 fixed exchange rates.

Ecolab Inc. is soliciting proxies for its virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 7, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. Central Time, where holders will vote on 13 director nominees, an advisory say-on-pay proposal, auditor ratification, and a stockholder proposal for an independent board chair.
The proxy highlights a record 2025, with reported sales up 2%, organic sales up 3%, organic operating income margin up 150 bps, and adjusted diluted EPS up 13%, despite lower reported EPS and reported operating margin. The board approved a 12% increase in the quarterly cash dividend and emphasizes sustainability, AI-enabled innovation, and strong governance, including 12 of 13 independent nominees and a lead independent director.
Ecolab Inc. has agreed to acquire CoolIT Systems, a global leader in liquid cooling for AI data centers, for approximately $4.75 billion in cash, subject to customary adjustments and approvals, with closing targeted for the third quarter of 2026. CoolIT is expected to generate about $550 million in sales over the next 12 months, and the deal is projected to accelerate Global Water’s organic sales growth by 2 percentage points and Ecolab’s total organic sales growth by 1 point beginning one year after closing. Excluding non-cash amortization, the transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted diluted EPS in 2028, financed with new debt that should take pro forma net debt to adjusted EBITDA to roughly 3x at closing, declining to about 2x by the end of the second year. Separately, Ecolab now expects first quarter 2026 adjusted diluted EPS of $1.69–$1.71 and full-year 2026 adjusted diluted EPS of $8.43–$8.63, each representing low- to mid-teens percentage growth versus the prior year and excluding CoolIT’s impact.
