10-Q
XYL Q2-25 showed solid top-line and earnings momentum. Revenue rose 6.1% YoY to $2.30 bn, driven by mid-single-digit growth across all four segments, with Measurement & Control Solutions up 14%. Gross margin expanded 100 bp to 38.8%, lifting operating income 21% to $305 m. Net income attributable to Xylem increased 16% to $226 m; diluted EPS reached $0.93 versus $0.80.
First-half trends were similarly positive. 1H-25 revenue grew 4% to $4.37 bn and EPS climbed 13% to $1.62. Operating cash flow slipped 10% to $338 m as working-capital needs rose, but cash on hand still improved to $1.17 bn. Net debt fell $20 m to $826 m as the company repaid $28 m of long-term borrowings.
Portfolio actions continue. Xylem completed two tuck-in deals—Vacom Systems ($42 m) and Simply Clean ($7 m)—and exited the Evoqua Magneto unit, booking a $10 m loss. Restructuring/impairment charges totaled $47 m YTD, mainly for severance and software write-offs. Goodwill now stands at $8.24 bn after 2024’s Idrica step-up.
XYL Q2-25 ha mostrato una solida crescita sia nei ricavi che negli utili. I ricavi sono aumentati del 6,1% su base annua, raggiungendo 2,30 miliardi di dollari, trainati da una crescita a una cifra media in tutti e quattro i segmenti, con Measurement & Control Solutions in aumento del 14%. Il margine lordo si è ampliato di 100 punti base al 38,8%, portando l'utile operativo a crescere del 21% a 305 milioni di dollari. L'utile netto attribuibile a Xylem è aumentato del 16% a 226 milioni di dollari; l'EPS diluito ha raggiunto 0,93 dollari rispetto a 0,80 dollari.
I trend del primo semestre sono stati altrettanto positivi. I ricavi del primo semestre 25 sono cresciuti del 4% a 4,37 miliardi di dollari e l'EPS è salito del 13% a 1,62 dollari. Il flusso di cassa operativo è diminuito del 10% a 338 milioni di dollari a causa dell'aumento del capitale circolante, ma la liquidità disponibile è migliorata a 1,17 miliardi di dollari. Il debito netto è sceso di 20 milioni a 826 milioni di dollari grazie al rimborso di 28 milioni di prestiti a lungo termine.
Le azioni sul portafoglio proseguono. Xylem ha completato due acquisizioni di piccole dimensioni — Vacom Systems (42 milioni di dollari) e Simply Clean (7 milioni di dollari) — ed è uscita dall'unità Evoqua Magneto, registrando una perdita di 10 milioni di dollari. Le spese per ristrutturazioni e svalutazioni ammontano a 47 milioni di dollari da inizio anno, principalmente per indennità di licenziamento e svalutazioni software. Il goodwill ora è pari a 8,24 miliardi di dollari dopo l'incremento legato a Idrica nel 2024.
XYL Q2-25 mostró un sólido impulso en ingresos y ganancias. Los ingresos aumentaron un 6,1% interanual hasta 2,30 mil millones de dólares, impulsados por un crecimiento de un dígito medio en los cuatro segmentos, con Measurement & Control Solutions creciendo un 14%.

El ingreso neto atribuible a Xylem aumentó un 16% hasta 226 millones de dólares; las ganancias por acción diluidas alcanzaron 0,93 dólares frente a 0,80 dólares.
Las tendencias del primer semestre fueron igualmente positivas. Los ingresos del primer semestre de 25 crecieron un 4% hasta 4,37 mil millones de dólares y las ganancias por acción subieron un 13% hasta 1,62 dólares. El flujo de caja operativo cayó un 10% hasta 338 millones de dólares debido a mayores necesidades de capital de trabajo, pero el efectivo disponible mejoró a 1,17 mil millones de dólares. La deuda neta disminuyó 20 millones hasta 826 millones de dólares tras el pago de 28 millones en préstamos a largo plazo.
Las acciones en el portafolio continúan. Xylem completó dos adquisiciones pequeñas — Vacom Systems (42 millones de dólares) y Simply Clean (7 millones de dólares) — y salió de la unidad Evoqua Magneto, registrando una pérdida de 10 millones de dólares. Los cargos por reestructuración y deterioro suman 47 millones en el año, principalmente por indemnizaciones y amortizaciones de software. El goodwill ahora es de 8,24 mil millones tras el ajuste por Idrica en 2024.
XYL Q2-25는 견고한 매출 및 수익 모멘텀을 보였습니다. 매출은 전년 대비 6.1% 증가한 23억 달러로, 네 개 부문 모두 중간 단위 성장률을 기록했으며 Measurement & Control Solutions 부문은 14% 성장했습니다. 총 마진은 100bp 상승한 38.8%를 기록하며 영업이익은 21% 증가한 3억 500만 달러에 달했습니다. Xylem에 귀속되는 순이익은 16% 증가한 2억 2,600만 달러였고, 희석 주당순이익(EPS)은 0.80달러에서 0.93달러로 올랐습니다.
상반기 추세도 긍정적이었습니다. 25년 상반기 매출은 4% 증가한 43억 7천만 달러, EPS는 13% 상승한 1.62달러를 기록했습니다. 운전자본 수요 증가로 영업현금흐름은 10% 감소한 3억 3,800만 달러였으나, 현금 잔고는 11억 7천만 달러로 개선되었습니다. 순부채는 2,000만 달러 감소한 8억 2,600만 달러로, 장기 차입금 2,800만 달러를 상환했습니다.
포트폴리오 조정은 계속되고 있습니다. Xylem은 Vacom Systems(4,200만 달러)와 Simply Clean(700만 달러) 두 건의 소규모 인수를 완료했으며, Evoqua Magneto 사업부에서 철수하여 1,000만 달러 손실을 기록했습니다. 구조조정 및 손상차손 비용은 연초부터 4,700만 달러로, 주로 퇴직금과 소프트웨어 상각에 사용되었습니다. 2024년 Idrica 인수에 따른 상각 후 현재 영업권은 82억 4천만 달러입니다.
XYL Q2-25 a affiché une solide dynamique au niveau du chiffre d'affaires et des bénéfices. Le chiffre d'affaires a augmenté de 6,1 % en glissement annuel pour atteindre 2,30 milliards de dollars, porté par une croissance à un chiffre moyen dans les quatre segments, avec Measurement & Control Solutions en hausse de 14 %. La marge brute s'est élargie de 100 points de base à 38,8 %, ce qui a fait progresser le résultat d'exploitation de 21 % à 305 millions de dollars. Le résultat net attribuable à Xylem a augmenté de 16 % pour atteindre 226 millions de dollars ; le BPA dilué est passé de 0,80 à 0,93 dollar.
Les tendances du premier semestre ont été tout aussi positives. Le chiffre d'affaires du premier semestre 25 a progressé de 4 % pour atteindre 4,37 milliards de dollars et le BPA a augmenté de 13 % à 1,62 dollar. Les flux de trésorerie d'exploitation ont reculé de 10 % à 338 millions de dollars en raison d'une hausse des besoins en fonds de roulement, mais la trésorerie disponible s'est améliorée à 1,17 milliard de dollars. La dette nette a diminué de 20 millions pour s'établir à 826 millions après le remboursement de 28 millions de dollars d'emprunts à long terme.
Les actions sur le portefeuille se poursuivent. Xylem a finalisé deux acquisitions complémentaires — Vacom Systems (42 millions de dollars) et Simply Clean (7 millions de dollars) — et s'est retiré de l'unité Evoqua Magneto, enregistrant une perte de 10 millions de dollars. Les charges de restructuration et de dépréciation s'élèvent à 47 millions depuis le début de l'année, principalement pour des indemnités de licenciement et des amortissements logiciels. Le goodwill s'élève désormais à 8,24 milliards après l'ajustement lié à Idrica en 2024.
XYL Q2-25 zeigte eine solide Umsatz- und Gewinnentwicklung. Der Umsatz stieg im Jahresvergleich um 6,1 % auf 2,30 Mrd. USD, getragen von einem mittleren einstelligen Wachstum in allen vier Segmenten, wobei Measurement & Control Solutions um 14 % zulegte. Die Bruttomarge verbesserte sich um 100 Basispunkte auf 38,8 %, wodurch das Betriebsergebnis um 21 % auf 305 Mio. USD anstieg. Der auf Xylem entfallende Nettogewinn erhöhte sich um 16 % auf 226 Mio. USD; das verwässerte Ergebnis je Aktie (EPS) stieg von 0,80 auf 0,93 USD.
Die Trends im ersten Halbjahr waren ähnlich positiv. Der Umsatz im ersten Halbjahr 25 wuchs um 4 % auf 4,37 Mrd. USD, und das EPS stieg um 13 % auf 1,62 USD. Der operative Cashflow sank um 10 % auf 338 Mio. USD, da der Kapitalbedarf zunahm, aber die liquiden Mittel verbesserten sich auf 1,17 Mrd. USD. Die Nettoverschuldung fiel um 20 Mio. USD auf 826 Mio. USD, da das Unternehmen 28 Mio. USD an langfristigen Verbindlichkeiten zurückzahlte.
Portfolio-Maßnahmen gehen weiter. Xylem schloss zwei kleinere Übernahmen ab – Vacom Systems (42 Mio. USD) und Simply Clean (7 Mio. USD) – und verließ die Evoqua Magneto-Einheit, wobei ein Verlust von 10 Mio. USD verbucht wurde. Restrukturierungs- und Wertminderungsaufwendungen beliefen sich im laufenden Jahr auf 47 Mio. USD, hauptsächlich für Abfindungen und Softwareabschreibungen. Der Geschäfts- oder Firmenwert beträgt nach dem Aufschlag für Idrica im Jahr 2024 nun 8,24 Mrd. USD.
Positive
- Revenue up 6.1% YoY, accelerating from prior quarters and broad-based across segments.
- EPS grew 16% to $0.93, outperforming revenue growth through margin expansion.
- Gross margin +100 bp to 38.8%, showing price/cost leverage.
- Net debt decreased by $20 m; leverage remains low (<1× EBITDA).
- Tuck-in acquisitions (Vacom, Simply Clean) expand water-solutions portfolio.
Negative
- Operating cash flow fell 10% to $338 m due to higher working capital.
- $47 m YTD restructuring/impairment charges pressure near-term earnings quality.
- Effective tax rate rose to 25.0% from 21.4%, trimming net margins.
- Goodwill climbed to $8.24 bn, increasing future impairment exposure.
Insights
TL;DR: Core growth, margin uptick and modest deleveraging outweigh softer cash flow; overall positive.
Q2 revenue and EPS beat typical mid-cycle expectations, reflecting price discipline and synergies from the Evoqua integration. The 100 bp gross-margin gain signals cost-pass-through efficacy despite restructuring outlays. Debt/EBITDA remains below 1×, giving capacity for additional bolt-ons. Watch working-capital drag and higher 25% tax rate, but trajectory supports consensus FY EPS upgrades.
TL;DR: Operationally sound; rising goodwill and restructuring keep risk profile neutral.
Cash conversion fell to 86% as inventories and receivables grew, while cumulative restructuring and software impairments hit $47 m, hinting at integration risk. Goodwill now equals 48% of total assets, elevating impairment sensitivity if growth stalls. Nonetheless, ample liquidity, fixed-rate debt and diversified end-markets mitigate balance-sheet risk.

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 and Control Solutions and Water 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.
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, 2024 ("2024 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 2024 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
Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03, "Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses". This ASU requires a footnote disclosure to disaggregate each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes specific natural expense categories. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of selling expenses on an annual and interim basis. The standard is effective in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard is required to be adopted prospectively, but retrospective adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impacts of the guidance on our disclosures in future periods.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". The ASU is intended to improve income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through additional disclosures about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliations as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and the impacts of the guidance on our disclosures in future periods.
Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
2025 Asset Acquisition
Vacom Systems, LLC
At the beginning of the second quarter, we acquired Vacom Systems, LLC ("Vacom"), a wastewater treatment company that specializes in non-fouling, non-scaling evaporator and crystallizer systems, headquartered in Utah, U.S. The transaction has a total cash consideration of $42 million, of which $37 million was paid at closing. The remaining cash consideration will be paid over the next 12 to 18 months, subjected to working capital and other customary adjustments. Additionally, the transaction consideration contained an earn out of 5 % royalty on future revenue generated in connection with Vacom's proprietary technologies during the first 5 years following the acquisition. The earn out has a maximum pay out of $25 million.
The Vacom transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired were concentrated in its developed technology. On the acquisition date, the developed technology recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet is $49 million. The developed technology has a useful life of 15 years and will be amortized over its useful life on a straight-line basis within the Water Solutions and Services segment.
2025 Business Combination
Simply Clean Air and Water, Inc.
On January 31, 2025, we acquired Simply Clean Air and Water, Inc. ("Simply Clean"), a water service company that specializes in high-purity water systems for life sciences and pharmaceutical markets, for the net cash acquisition price of $7 million. The company is headquartered in Connecticut, U.S. with 20 employees. Our consolidated financial statements include Simply Clean's results of operations within the Water Solutions and Services segment.
2025 Divestiture
On February 7, 2025, we completed the divestiture of our previously held for sale Evoqua Magneto business, which was part of the Water Infrastructure segment, for a cash selling price of $61 million ($48 million, net of cash transferred). As a result of the sale, we recorded an additional loss of $10 million, presented on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement within "Loss on sale of businesses" in the current period.

2024 Business Combination
Global Omnium Idrica, S.L.
On April 26, 2023, we acquired a 25.1 % equity interest in Global Omnium Idrica S.L. (“Idrica”), a global company specializing in digital transformation for the water industry, offering innovative services and technological solutions for comprehensive water cycle management for $51 million. In connection with the transaction, the Company was granted the right to purchase a majority interest in Idrica from the joint venture partner at a fixed price. The investment was accounted for as an equity method investment as the Company had significant influence but did not have control over Idrica.
On December 10, 2024, we acquired an additional 35.9 % equity interest in Idrica for $154 million ($150 million, net of cash received) by exercising our call right and now hold an aggregate ownership interest in Idrica of 61.0 %. This was accounted for as a step acquisition where the Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The fair value of our call right was included within the fair value of previously held equity interest and recognized as part of the consideration transferred and the gain on remeasurement of our call right was also included in the gain on remeasurement of previously held equity interest (as discussed below). The Company 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 total fair value of consideration transferred was $637 million, which includes cash paid to Idrica, the remeasurement to fair value of our previously held equity interest, the fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest, and the settlement of a preexisting contractual relationship between the Company and Idrica. This relationship related to a distribution agreement that the Company had previously recognized in other non-current assets.
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration consisted of the following:
| (in millions) | Fair Value of Purchase Consideration | ||||
| Cash paid | $ | ||||
| Fair value of previously held equity interest | |||||
| Fair value of redeemable non-controlling interest | |||||
| Settlement of preexisting relationship | |||||
| Total | $ | ||||
The Company remeasured its previously held 25.1 % equity interest in Idrica immediately prior to the completion of the acquisition to its estimated fair value of approximately $193 million. This fair value was derived by using the discounted cash flow method of the income approach, which considers future cash flows that are discounted to present value at a rate of return commensurate with the business and financial risks associated with the expected achievement of the projected cash flows. As a result of the remeasurement of its previously held equity interest, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $152 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The gain reflects the excess of the estimated fair value of $193 million for the Company’s previously held 25.1 % equity interest over its carrying value of approximately $41 million.

The following table summarizes the preliminary acquisition date fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed from Idrica:
| (in millions) | Fair Value | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | |||||||
| Receivables | ||||||||
| Prepaid and other current assets | ||||||||
| Goodwill | ||||||||
| Other intangible assets, net | ||||||||
| Other non-current assets | ||||||||
| Accounts payable | ( | |||||||
| Accrued and other current liabilities | ( | |||||||
| Short term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt | ( | |||||||
| Long term debt | ( | |||||||
| Deferred income tax liabilities | ( | |||||||
| Other non-current accrued liabilities | ( | |||||||
| Total | $ | |||||||
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. The fair values of the intangible assets acquired 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.
Our revenue and net loss attributable to the Idrica acquisition for the year ended December 31, 2024 and six months ended June 30, 2025 were not material. The $522 million of goodwill recognized, which is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, is primarily attributable to costs and revenue synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Idrica with Xylem.
Identifiable Intangible Assets Acquired
The following table summarizes key information underlying identifiable intangible assets related to the Idrica acquisition:
| (in millions) | Useful Life (in years)(a) | Fair Value (in millions) | ||||||
| Customer Relationships | $ | |||||||
| Backlog | ||||||||
| Technology | ||||||||
| Trade Name | ||||||||
| Intangible Assets Under Construction | N/A | |||||||
| Total | $ | |||||||
(a)Useful life approximates weighted average useful life.
•The preliminary estimates of fair value of Idrica’s identifiable intangible assets were determined using a combination of the income and cost approaches. 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. Intangible assets consisting of the customer relationships, backlog, and trade name were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MEEM”) or the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method, both of which are forms of the income approach. The intangible asset related to Idrica’s developed technology was valued using the replacement cost approach.
10
•The customer and backlog intangible assets were valued using the MEEM. The MEEM 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.
•The trade name intangible asset was valued using the RFR method. The RFR method 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).
•The developed technology intangible asset was valued using the replacement cost approach. The replacement cost approach is a valuation method that relies on estimating the replacement costs of assets based on the principle that an asset would not be purchased for a price higher than the cost to replace it with an asset of comparable utility.
Pro forma results of operations have not been included, as the acquisition of Idrica was not material to our results of operations for any periods presented.
Heusser
On December 5, 2024, we acquired all issued and outstanding shares of Heusser Water Solutions AG ("Heusser"), a leading distributor and provider of advanced pumping systems and treatment solutions in Switzerland, for $40 million ($35 million, net of cash received). Heusser, a privately-owned company headquartered in Cham, Switzerland, has approximately 90 employees. Our consolidated financial statements include Heusser's results of operations prospectively from December 5, 2024 primarily within the Water Infrastructure segment.

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, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied for contracts with performance obligations, amount to $1.8 billion. 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, 2025, we incurred restructuring charges of $22 million and $39 million, respectively. The incurred charges primarily related to actions taken to further streamline our organization through simplification efforts in order to strengthen our competitive positioning and ability to better serve our customers.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred restructuring costs of $23 million and $32 million, respectively. We incurred these charges primarily as a result of our acquisition of Evoqua and our efforts to reposition our businesses to optimize our cost structure, improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness, strengthen our competitive positioning and better serve our customers.

Note 6. Income Taxes
Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the 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, 2025 was $75 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.0 %, compared to a $53 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.4 % for the same period in 2024. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $125 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.2 %, compared to a $96 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.6 % for the same period in 2024. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to mix of earnings across different jurisdictions.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. We are currently assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
During 2019, Xylem’s Swedish subsidiary received a tax assessment from the Swedish Tax Agency (the "STA") 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 SEK837 million (approximately $88 million), consisting of the full tax assessment amount plus penalties and interest. Xylem appealed this decision with the intermediate appellate court, the Administrative Court of Appeal, and on May 15, 2024, that court rendered a decision in favor of Xylem and also remanded an issue to the trial court for resolution. In June 2024, the STA filed a notice of appeal of this decision to the Supreme Administrative Court, which declined to hear the case and remanded one issue back to the County Administrative Court for further consideration. 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 this litigation. There can be no assurance that the final determination by the authorities will not be materially different than our position. As of June 30, 2025, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to this 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.

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.
19
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 $365 million and $657 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, 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, sell Canadian Dollar and purchase Euro, sell Canadian Dollar and purchase U.S. Dollar, purchase Polish Zloty and sell Euro, and sell Australian Dollar and purchase Euro. The purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives are $143 million, $97 million, $53 million, $24 million, $20 million, $15 million, and $13 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, 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, sell Canadian Dollar and purchase Euro, sell Canadian Dollar and purchase U.S. Dollar, purchase Polish Zloty and sell Euro, and sell Australian Dollar and purchase Euro. The purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives are $258 million, $169 million, $90 million, $42 million, $40 million, $34 million, and $24 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 $3,156 million and $2,181 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
In May 2025, we completed a transaction to effectively amend and extend the cross-currency swaps maturing in July 2031. The liability position of the existing cross-currency swaps was blended into a new cross-currency swap agreement with a notional amount of $1,200 million maturing in January 2032.
In February 2025, we completed a transaction to effectively amend and extend the cross-currency swaps maturing in January 2028. The liability position of the existing cross-currency swaps was blended into a new cross-currency swap agreement with a notional amount of $509 million maturing in July 2028.

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 to 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. The total outstanding balance presented within "Accounts payable" on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under these programs is $278 million and $250 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Senior Notes
On June 26, 2020, we issued 1.950 % Senior Notes of $500 million aggregate principal amount due January 2028 (the “Senior Notes due 2028”) and 2.250 % Senior Notes of $500 million aggregate principal amount due January 2031 (the “Senior Notes due 2031" and, together with the Senior Notes due 2028, the “Green Bond”).
The Green Bond includes covenants that restrict our ability, and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries, to incur debt secured by liens on certain property above a threshold, to engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions involving certain property above a threshold, and to consolidate or merge, or convey or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. We may redeem the Green Bond at any time, at our option, subject to certain conditions, at specified redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
If a change of control triggering event (as defined in the applicable Green Bond indenture) occurs, we will be required to make an offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 101 % of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
Interest on the Green Bond is payable on January 30 and July 30 of each year. As of June 30, 2025, we are in compliance with all covenants for the Green Bond.

Credit Facilities
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, 2025, the 2023 Credit Facility was undrawn, and we are in compliance with all revolver covenants. The 2023 Credit Facility has availability of $1 billion, comprised of the $1 billion aggregate principal as of June 30, 2025.

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, 2025 was $7 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 2025 grants:
| Volatility | % | |||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | % | |||||||
| Dividend yield | % | |||||||
| Expected term (in years) | ||||||||
| Weighted-average fair value / share | $ | |||||||
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.
Restricted Stock Unit Grants
The following is a summary of restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The fair value of the restricted share unit awards is determined using the closing price of our common stock on date of grant:

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 investigations or 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 $7 million and $4 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, for these general legal matters.
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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount of surety bonds, bank guarantees, insurance letters of credit, and stand-by letters of credit was $798 million and $758 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. Our accrued environmental liabilities represent our best estimates related to the investigation and remediation of environmental media such as water, soil, soil vapor, air and structures at these sites, as well as related legal fees. Liabilities for these environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis. We have estimated and accrued $4
33
Given the complexities and uncertainties involved in on-going and future investigation and remediation projects, the process to estimate environmental remediation liabilities requires judgement. 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 defects and specific non-performance. The table below provides changes in the combined current and non-current product warranty accruals over each period:

Key Performance Indicators and 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 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 attributable to Xylem and corresponding earnings per share, respectively, 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. A reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share is provided below.

Revenue
Revenue generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2,301 million and $4,370 million, respectively, reflecting an increase of $132 million, or 6.1%, and an increase of $168 million, or 4.0% compared to the prior year. Organic revenue increased $120 million, or 5.5%, and $187 million, or 4.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Foreign currency translation had a favorable impact on revenue of $23 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and an unfavorable impact on revenue of $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Revenue growth was negatively impacted by $11 million, and $16 million due to acquisitions and divestitures, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase in organic revenue primarily reflects strength in the U.S. and Canada, driven by price realization and increased volume for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and increased volume and backlog execution for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Water Infrastructure
Water Infrastructure revenue increased $19 million, or 3.1%, for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the prior year. Revenue growth for the quarter included organic revenue growth of $26 million, or 4.1% and $12 million of favorable impacts from foreign currency translation partially offset by a loss of $19 million of revenue from divestitures. The treatment application contributed $19 million of organic revenue growth, driven by backlog execution and capital projects in the emerging markets and price realization in the U.S. Organic growth for the transport applications was $7 million, led by increased sales volume in the U.S.
44
Water Infrastructure revenue increased $26 million, or 2.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior year. Revenue growth included organic revenue growth of $54 million, or 4.5% and $1 million of favorable impacts from foreign currency translation partially offset by a loss of $29 million of revenue from divestitures. The treatment application contributed $31 million of organic revenue growth, led by strong volume and backlog execution in the emerging markets and the U.S. Organic growth for the transport application was $23 million, led by strong backlog execution and order intake in western Europe and emerging markets, and higher volume in the U.S.
Applied Water
Applied Water revenue increased $27 million, or 5.8%, for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the prior year. Revenue growth for the quarter included organic revenue growth of $21 million, or 4.7% and $6 million of favorable foreign currency translation. Organic growth was driven by growth in the building solutions applications of $13 million, led by price and increased sales volume in the U.S, partially offset by lapping of project orders in western Europe. The industrial application had organic growth of $9 million primarily due to price realization in the U.S and western Europe.
Applied Water revenue increased $26 million, or 2.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior year, consisting entirely of organic growth. Organic growth was driven by growth in the building solutions applications of $23 million, led by price and increased sales volume in the U.S., partially offset by order softness in the emerging markets. The industrial application had organic growth of $3 million due to price and volume in north America and western Europe, partially offset by order softness in the emerging markets.
Measurement and Control Solutions
Measurement and Control Solutions revenue increased $58 million, or 11.9%, for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the prior year. The revenue growth was primarily driven by organic growth of $46 million, or 9.4%, with an additional increase from acquisitions of $8 million, and $4 million of favorable foreign currency translation. Organic revenue growth during the quarter was driven by $45 million from the smart metering and other applications, due primarily to backlog execution from energy in north America, partially offset by declines in water, in the U.S.
Measurement and Control Solutions revenue increased $86 million, or 9.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the prior year. The revenue increase was primarily driven by organic growth of $73 million, or 7.7%, with an additional increase from acquisitions of $13 million. Organic revenue increased by $70 million in the smart metering and other applications, due primarily to backlog execution from energy in north America and water project deliveries in the emerging markets. These increases were partially offset by organic declines in water due to lower demand in the U.S. following strong prior year backlog execution. The analytics application was up $3 million organically, driven by increased demand in the U.S.
Water Solutions and Services
Water Solutions and Services revenue increased $28 million, or 4.7%, for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the prior year. The revenue growth was primarily driven by organic revenue growth of $27 million, or 4.6% and $1 million of favorable impacts from foreign currency translation.

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, capital projects require longer lead production cycles and deployment schedules and delays occur from time to time. Total backlog was $5,018 million at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $138 million or 2.7%, as compared to June 30, 2024 backlog of $5,156 million. The decrease in backlog was driven by increased revenue outpacing order intake and contract wins in the current period, partially offset by favorable impacts from foreign currency translation. Backlog decreased in the Measurement and Control Solutions segment due to strong backlog execution and improved lead times, partially offset by backlog growth in the Water Infrastructure, Water Solutions and Services, and Applied Water segments primarily due to orders and contract wins outpacing revenue. Backlog decreased $52 million or 1.0% at June 30, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024 backlog of $5,070 million. We anticipate that approximately 40% of the backlog as of June 30, 2025 will be recognized as revenue in the remainder of 2025. There were no significant order cancellations during the quarter.
Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased 100 basis points to 38.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 37.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The gross margin increase included favorable impacts of 30 basis points from decreases in acquired intangible amortization and special charges as compared to the prior year, and 360 basis points of favorable operational impacts, driven almost entirely by 210 basis points of productivity savings and 130 basis points of price realization. These increases in gross margin were offset by 330 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts driven by 180 basis points of inflation and 60 basis points of unfavorable mix.
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased 60 basis points to 38.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to 37.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The gross margin increase included favorable impacts of 20 basis points from decreases in acquired intangible amortization and special charges as compared to the prior year and favorable operational impacts of 380 basis points, driven almost entirely by 240 basis points of productivity savings and 130 basis points of price realization. These increases in gross margin were offset by 340 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts driven by 170 basis points of inflation and 80 basis points of unfavorable mix.

R&D expense was $58 million, or 2.5% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $58 million, or 2.7% of revenue in the second quarter of 2024, and was $114 million, or 2.6% of revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $117 million, or 2.8% of revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2024. R&D expense was fairly consistent year over year.
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges
Restructuring
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred restructuring charges of $22 million and $39 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred restructuring charges of $23 million and $32 million, respectively For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the incurred charges primarily related to actions taken to further streamline our organization through simplification efforts in order to strengthen our competitive positioning and ability to better serve our customers.
Actions commenced in 2025 and 2024 consist primarily of severance charges. We currently expect to incur between $60 and $70 million in restructuring costs for the full year related to these actions.
Refer to Note 5, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges" for more information.

Operating Income, Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA
Operating income was $305 million (operating margin of 13.3%) during the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $52 million, or 20.6%, when compared to operating income of $253 million (operating margin of 11.7%) during the prior year. Operating margin increased 160 basis points, which included 30 basis points of favorable impacts from decreased acquired intangible amortization and flat restructuring, realignment and special charges relative to increasing revenue. Additionally, operating margin expansion included 560 basis points of favorable operational impacts driven by 330 basis points of productivity savings, 180 basis points of price realization, and 40 basis points of increased volume. These favorable impacts were partially offset by 430 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts, driven by 240 basis points of inflation, 60 basis points of unfavorable mix, and 50 basis points of increased spending on strategic investments. Excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and realignment costs, and special charges, adjusted operating income was $402 million (adjusted operating margin of 17.5%) for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to adjusted operating income of $352 million (adjusted operating margin of 16.2%) during the comparable quarter in the prior year.
Net income attributable to Xylem for the second quarter was $226 million (net income margin of 9.8%), an increase of $32 million as compared to net income attributable to Xylem in the prior year of $194 million (net income margin of 8.9%). The increase in net income attributable to Xylem was driven by increased operating income of $52 million, decreased interest expense of $2 million, and the net loss attributable to non-controlling interest of $2 million, partially offset by increased income tax expense of $22 million, decreased non-operating income of $1 million and decreased gain from sale of businesses of $1 million.
Adjusted EBITDA was $502 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.8%) during the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $50 million, or 11.1%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $452 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.8%) during the comparable quarter in the prior year, an increase to adjusted EBITDA margin of 100 basis points. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by the same factors impacting the adjusted operating margin increase.
49
Operating income was $536 million (operating margin of 12.3%) during the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $74 million, or 16.0%, when compared to operating income of $462 million (operating margin of 11.0%) during the prior year. Operating margin increased 130 basis points, which included net favorable impacts of 10 basis points from increasing revenue more than offsetting the impact of increased restructuring and realignment costs, as well as decreases in acquired intangible amortization and in special charges compared to the prior year. Additionally, operating margin expansion included 530 basis points of favorable operational impacts driven by 340 basis points of productivity savings and 160 basis points of price realization. These favorable impacts were partially offset by 410 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts, driven by 240 basis points of inflation, 80 basis points of unfavorable mix, and 40 basis points of increased spending on strategic investments. Excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and realignment costs, and special charges, adjusted operating income was $727 million (adjusted operating margin of 16.6%) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to adjusted operating income of $646 million (adjusted operating margin of 15.4%) during the comparable period in the prior year.
Net income attributable to Xylem for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $395 million (net income margin of 9.0%), an increase of $48 million as compared to net income attributable to Xylem in the prior year of $347 million (net income margin of 8.3%). The increase in net income attributable to Xylem was driven by increased operating income of $74 million and decreased interest expense of $8 million partially offset by decreased non-operating income of $3 million, increased loss from sale of businesses of $6 million, and increased income tax expense of $29 million.
Adjusted EBITDA was $925 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.2%) during the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $82 million, or 9.7%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $843 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.1%) during the comparable prior year period, an increase in adjusted EBITDA margin of 110 basis points. Adjusted EBITDA margin was impacted by the same offsetting factors impacting the adjusted operating margin.

Water Infrastructure
Operating income for our Water Infrastructure segment was $103 million (operating margin of 15.8%) during the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $25 million, or 32.1%, when compared to operating income of $78 million (operating margin of 12.4%) during the prior year, or a total increase in operating margin of 340 basis points. Operating margin expansion was slightly offset by net unfavorable impacts of 10 basis points from increased restructuring and realignment costs and decreased acquired intangible asset amortization and special charges as compared to the prior year. Additionally, operating margin expansion included 790 basis points driven by favorable operating impacts driven by 350 basis points of productivity savings and 220 basis points of price realization. Margin expansion was partially offset by 440 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts, driven by 240 basis points of inflation, 90 basis points of inventory management costs, and 80 basis points of unfavorable foreign currency impacts. Excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring and realignment costs and special charges, adjusted operating income was $127 million (adjusted operating margin of 19.5%) for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to adjusted operating income of $101 million (adjusted operating margin of 16.0%) for the second quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was $142 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.8%) for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $17 million, or 14%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $125 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.8%) during the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily driven by the same factors impacting the increase in adjusted operating margin; however, adjusted EBITDA margin did not benefit from the decreases in depreciation and software amortization expense and share-based compensation.

Operating margin expansion included net favorable impacts of 10 basis points from decreases in acquired intangible amortization and special charges as increases, largely offset by increases in restructuring and realignment costs as compared to the prior year. Additionally, operating margin expansion included 740 basis points of favorable operational impacts, driven by 420 basis points of productivity savings and 190 basis points of price realization. Margin expansion was partially offset by 410 basis points of unfavorable operating impacts driven by 270 basis points of inflation and 50 basis points of unfavorable mix. Excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring and realignment cost and special charges, adjusted operating income was $234 million (adjusted operating margin of 19.0%) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to adjusted operating income of $189 million (adjusted operating margin of 15.7%) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was $262 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.3%) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $35 million, or 15.4%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $227 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.8%) during the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was impacted by the same offsetting factors impacting the adjusted operating margin; however, adjusted EBITDA margin did not benefit from the relative impact of decreased depreciation and software amortization and share-based compensation.
Applied Water
Operating income for our Applied Water segment was $84 million (operating margin of 17.4%) during the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $13 million, or 18.3%, when compared to operating income of $71 million (operating margin of 15.6%) during the prior year, or a total increase in operating margin of 180 basis points. Operating margin expansion was negatively impacted by 170 basis points from increases in restructuring and realignment costs as compared to the prior year. Operating margin expansion included 830 basis points of favorable operational impacts, driven by 600 basis points of productivity savings and 140 basis points of price realization. Operating margin expansion was offset by 480 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts driven primarily by 280 basis points of inflation, 40 basis points of increased spending on strategic investments, and 30 basis points of inventory management costs. Excluding restructuring and realignment costs, adjusted operating income was $94 million (adjusted operating margin of 19.5%) for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to adjusted operating income of $73 million (adjusted operating margin of 16.0%) for the second quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was $105 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.7%) for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $25 million, or 31%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $80 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.5%) during the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to the same factors impacting the increase in adjusted operating margin; however, adjusted EBITDA margin was not negatively impacted by the relative impact of depreciation and software amortization expense and was favorably impacted by increased other non-operating income versus prior year.
Operating income for our Applied Water segment was $156 million (operating margin of 17.0%) during the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $24 million, or 18.2%, when compared to operating income of $132 million (operating margin of 14.8%) during the prior year, or a total increase in operating margin of 220 basis points. Operating margin expansion was negatively impacted by 120 basis points from an increase in restructuring and realignment costs as compared to the prior year. Operating margin expansion included 830 basis points of favorable operational impacts driven by 590 basis points of productivity savings and 130 basis points of price realization. Margin expansion was partially offset by 490 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts driven by 310 basis points of inflation and 50 basis points of increased spending on strategic investments. Excluding restructuring and realignment costs, adjusted operating income was $171 million (adjusted operating margin of 18.6%) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to adjusted operating income of $136 million (adjusted operating margin of 15.2%) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was $190 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.7%) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $38 million, or 25%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $152 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.0%) during the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to the same factors impacting the decrease in adjusted operating margin.

Margin declines were partially offset by favorable operational impacts of 560 basis points consisting of 360 basis points of productivity savings, 110 basis points of price realization, and 90 basis points of increased volume. Excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and realignment costs and special charges, adjusted operating income was $180 million (adjusted operating margin of 17.5%) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to adjusted operating income of $182 million (adjusted operating margin of 19.3%) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was $228 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 22.1%) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $10 million, or 5%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $218 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.1%) during the prior year. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA margin was due to the same factors as those impacting the decrease in adjusted operating margin; however, adjusted EBITDA margin was not negatively impacted by the relative impact of increases in depreciation and software amortization expense and share-based compensation.
Water Solutions and Services
Operating income for our Water Solutions and Services segment was $78 million (operating margin of 12.4%) during the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $31 million, or 66.0%, when compared to operating income of $47 million (operating margin of 7.8%) during the prior year, or a total increase in operating margin of 460 basis points. The operating margin expansion included favorable impacts of 420 basis points from decreased restructuring and realignment costs, special charges, and acquired intangible asset amortization as compared to the prior year. Additionally, operating margin expansion included 350 basis points of favorable operational impacts, including 220 basis points of price realization and 70 basis points of productivity savings. Margin expansion was partially offset by unfavorable operational impacts of 310 basis points driven by driven by 190 basis points of inflation and 50 basis points of unfavorable mix. Excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and realignment costs, and special charges, adjusted operating income was $106 million (adjusted operating margin of 16.9%) for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to adjusted operating income of $99 million (adjusted operating margin of 16.5%) for the second quarter of 2024.
57
Adjusted EBITDA was $153 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.4%) for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $10 million, or 7%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $143 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.8%) during the prior year. The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to the same factors as those impacting the increase in adjusted operating margin.
Operating income for our Water Solutions and Services segment was $122 million (operating margin of 10.2%) during the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $25 million, or 25.8%, when compared to operating income of $97 million (operating margin of 8.4%) during the prior year, or a total increase in operating margin of 180 basis points. Operating margin expansion included net favorable impacts of 210 basis points due to decreases in restructuring and realignment costs and special charges, partially offset by increases in acquired intangible asset amortization as compared to the prior year. Additionally, operating margin expansion included 380 basis points of favorable operational impacts, driven by 190 basis points of price realization and 140 basis points of productivity savings. Margin expansion was offset by negative operational impacts of 410 basis points driven by 160 basis points of inflation, 70 basis points of unfavorable mix, 40 basis points of inventory management costs, and 30 basis points of increased spending on strategic investments. Excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, special charges, and restructuring and realignment costs, adjusted operating income was $184 million (adjusted operating margin of 15.4%) for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to adjusted operating income of $182 million (adjusted operating margin of 15.7%) for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA was $275 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.1%) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $7 million, or 3%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $268 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.1%) during the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin remained flat due to the same factors as those impacting the decrease in adjusted operating margin; however, adjusted EBITDA margin was not negatively impacted by the relative impact of increased depreciation and software amortization expense.
Corporate and Other
Operating loss for corporate and other increased $6 million, or 27%, during the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to increased spending on strategic investments and inflation. Excluding special charges and restructuring and realignment costs, adjusted operating loss for corporate and other increased $6 million, or 35.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven by the same factors as those driving the increase in operating loss.
Operating loss for corporate and other decreased $5 million, or 9%, during six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period. The decrease in operating loss was primarily due to decreased special charges. Excluding special charges and restructuring and realignment costs, adjusted operating loss for corporate and other decreased $1 million, or 2.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $11 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by increased interest income generated on cross currency swaps offsetting interest expense.
Interest expense was $17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by lower debt due to the repayment of the term loan entered into in May 2023 for use in funding the acquisition of Evoqua, which was repaid on April 19, 2024, as well as increased interest income generated on cross currency swaps offsetting interest expense.
See Note 10, “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.
58
Income Tax Expense
The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $75 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.0%, compared to $53 million of expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.4% for the same period in 2024. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $125 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 24.2%, compared to $96 million of expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.6% for the same period in 2024. The effective tax rate for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the effective tax rate for the same period in 2024, primarily due to the mix of earnings and the impact of discrete tax benefits recognized in the prior period.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Operating Activities
Cash generated by operating activities was $338 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to cash generated by operating activities of $377 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in cash provided was primarily driven by the recognition of receivables on long term contracts, increased payments for infrastructure costs and higher tax payments. Increased cash earnings and lower working capital, reflecting inventory management initiatives, partially offset these items.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $140 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $128 million used in the comparable prior year period. The increase in cash used primarily reflects cash paid for an asset acquisition and higher capital expenditures as compared to the prior year. Increased proceeds from the sale of businesses, including the sale of the former Evoqua Magneto business, and cash received from cross currency swaps partially offset these items.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $244 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to cash used of $419 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in cash used reflects the repayment of a term loan in 2024, partially offset by lower proceeds from employee stock option exercises, higher dividend payments and increased repayments of equipment financing debt.
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.
59
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 the U.S. and outside of the U.S. during the year. Currently, we have available liquidity of approximately $2.2 billion, consisting of $1.2 billion of cash and $1 billion of available credit facilities as disclosed in Note 12, "Credit Facilities and Debt", of our condensed consolidated financial statements.
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
As we continue to grow our operations 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, 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.
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 2024 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 2024 Annual Report.
2025 Outlook
We are raising our total revenue growth outlook to 4% to 5%, and organic revenue growth to approximately 4% in 2025. Our outlook is being provided in the context of the current volatility, including due to geopolitical, trade, macroeconomic and regulatory uncertainty. Our ability to meet our expectations is subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to, those described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2024 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 2024 Annual 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.
