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.

Acquisition of Evoqua

On May 24, 2023, Xylem completed the acquisition of Evoqua Water Technologies Corp. (“Evoqua”). Refer to Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," for additional information.

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, 2023 ("2023 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 2023 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.

The Company announced a change to its reportable segments effective January 1, 2024, and as a result, is now reporting the financial position and results of operations of its former Integrated Solutions and Services segment together with the dewatering business, previously within our Water Infrastructure segment, and the assessment services business, previously within our Measurement and Control Solutions segment, in a new segment that is referred to as Water Solutions and Services. The Company’s Water Infrastructure reportable segment no longer includes the results of the dewatering business, and the Company’s Measurement and Control Solutions reportable segment no longer includes the results of the assessment services business. The Company's Applied Water reportable segment remains unchanged. As a result of the change, the Company has recast prior period segment amounts to align with the new segment reporting. The recast financial information reflects depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation specifically identified to the segments that were previously reported

7

within Corporate and other and Regional selling locations as part of an overall allocation. These changes have no impact on the Company’s historical consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." This guidance requires disclosure information about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the guidance on our disclosures in future periods.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "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.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, "Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations." This guidance requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. The standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The ASU became effective January 1, 2023, and the rollforward requirement became effective January 1, 2024. Refer to Note 11, "Current Liabilities" for the disclosures related to our adoption of the standard.

Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Evoqua Water Technologies Corp.

On May 24, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Evoqua, a leader in providing water and wastewater treatment solutions, offering a broad portfolio of products and services to support industrial, municipal, and recreational customers, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 22, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided that Fore Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merge with and into Evoqua, with Evoqua surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Xylem (the “Merger”). Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Evoqua common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive 0.48 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of the common stock of Xylem. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger on May 24, 2023, legacy Evoqua stockholders owned approximately 25% and legacy Xylem shareholders owned approximately 75% of the combined company. The purchase price for purposes of the Merger consisted of an aggregate of $6,121 million of the Company’s common stock, $160 million in replacement equity awards, and $619 million to repay certain indebtedness of Evoqua (refer to Note 12, "Credit Facilities and Debt").

8

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration totaled $6,900 million, which consisted of the following:

(in millions)	Fair Value of Purchase Consideration
Xylem Common Stock issued to Evoqua stockholders (58,779,096 shares)	$	6,121
Estimated replacement equity awards	160
Payment of certain Evoqua indebtedness	619
Total	$	6,900

The Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the excess purchase consideration recorded to goodwill. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation. The following table summarizes the acquisition date fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed from Evoqua:

(in millions)	Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	143
Receivables(a)	430
Inventories	258
Prepaid and other current assets	78
Assets held for sale	8
Property, plant and equipment, net	508
Goodwill	4,801
Other intangible assets, net	1,769
Other non-current assets	180
Non-current assets held for sale	85
Accounts payable	(210)
Accrued and other current liabilities	(357)
Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt	(166)
Liabilities held for sale	(1)
Long-term debt	(111)
Other non-current accrued liabilities	(120)
Deferred income tax liabilities	(392)
Non-current liabilities held for sale	(3)
Total	$	6,900

(a) Including $320 million of receivables and $110 million of contract assets.

Prior to finalizing the purchase price allocation during the second quarter of 2024, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were 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 fair value of receivables acquired is $320 million, with the gross contractual amount being $329 million. The Company expects $9 million to be uncollectible.

The $4,801 million of goodwill recognized, which is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, is primarily attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Evoqua and Xylem as well as the assembled workforce of Evoqua.

9

Identifiable Intangible Assets Acquired

The following table summarizes key information underlying identifiable intangible assets related to the Evoqua acquisition:

(in millions)	Useful Life (in years)	Useful Life Weighted Average (in years)	Fair Value (in millions)
Trademarks	6	6.0	$	50
Proprietary technology and patents	4 - 9	7.1	120
Customer and distributor relationships	6 - 20	17.9	1,395
Backlog	1 - 10	5.4	120
Permits	8	8.0	70
Software	1 - 13	2.3	14
Total		15.4	$	1,769

The estimate of the fair value of Evoqua’s identifiable intangible assets was determined primarily using the “income approach,” which requires a forecast of all of the expected future cash flows either through the use of the multi-period excess earnings method or the relief-from-royalty method. 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 (“ASC 820”). Intangible assets consisting of the Evoqua tradename, technology, customer relationships, backlog, and permits were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MEEM”), the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method, or the with and without method, which are all forms of the income approach. Intangible assets related to Evoqua software were valued using the cost approach.

•Trademarks and proprietary technology intangible assets were valued using the RFR method. The RFR method of valuation 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).

•Customer and distributor relationships and backlog intangible assets were valued using the MEEM method. The MEEM method of valuation 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 Permits intangible asset was valued using the with and without method. The with and without method of valuation is an approach that considers the hypothetical impact to the projected cash flows of the business if the intangible asset was not put in place.

•The Software intangible asset was valued using the cost approach. The cost approach method of valuation is an approach that relies on estimating the replacement or reproduction costs new of assets, along with factors of physical deterioration, 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.

•Inventory was estimated using the comparative sales method, which quantifies the fair value of inventory based on the expected sales price of the subject inventory (when complete), reduced for: (i) all costs expected to be incurred in its completion and disposition efforts and (ii) a profit on those value-added completion and disposition costs.

10

Stock-Based Compensation

In connection with the Merger, each outstanding and issued option, restricted stock unit (“RSU”), performance stock unit (“PSU”) and cash-settled stock appreciation right (“SAR”) was converted into the Xylem equivalent, with outstanding PSUs being converted into Xylem RSUs. As a result, Xylem issued 2 million replacement equity options and 707 thousand RSU awards (of which 330 thousand were converted PSUs.) The portion of the fair value related to pre-combination services of $160 million was included in the purchase price, and $56 million will be recognized over the remaining service periods. As of June 30, 2024, the future unrecognized expense related to the outstanding options and RSUs was less than $1 million and approximately $5 million, respectively. The future unrecognized expense related to options and RSUs will be recognized over a weighted-average service period of approximately one year. SARs are immaterial.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma basis, the condensed combined results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, assuming the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022.

	(Unaudited) Three Months Ended June 30,		(Unaudited) Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023		2023
Revenue	$	2,025	$	3,952
Net income	$	63	$	170

The foregoing unaudited pro forma results are for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that might have occurred had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results. The unaudited pro-forma information for all periods presented includes the following adjustments, where applicable, for business combination accounting effects resulting from the acquisition: (i) amortization of the fair value step up in inventory, (ii) additional amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets acquired, (iii) repayment of Evoqua’s term loan and revolver and the settlement of the related interest rate swap, (iv) additional interest expense related to financing for the acquisition (refer to Note 12, "Credit Facilities and Debt"), (v) depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment, (vi) additional incremental stock-based compensation expense for the replacement of Evoqua’s outstanding equity awards with Xylem’s replacement equity awards, and (vii) the related tax effects assuming that the business combination occurred on January 1, 2022.

The significant nonrecurring adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated information above include the reclassification of the transaction costs to the earliest period presented and the reversal of the impacts related to the settlement of the interest rate swap, each net of tax.

Divestitures

On June 15, 2023, Xylem sold the former Evoqua carbon reactivation and slurry operations to Desotec US LLC, a subsidiary of Desotec N.V., for approximately $91 million, a price equal to the fair value less costs to sell the business.

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:

(in millions)	Contract Assets (a)		Contract 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, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied for contracts with performance obligations, amount to $1.4 billion, of which $804 million was contributed by the Evoqua acquisition. We expect to recognize the majority of revenue upon the completion of satisfying these performance obligations in the following 60 months. 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, 2024, we incurred restructuring charges of $23 million and $32 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the charges incurred primarily related to strengthening our competitive positioning and the integration of Evoqua.

The following table presents the components of restructuring expense and asset impairment charges:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

The actions commenced in 2024 consist primarily of severance and asset impairment charges. The actions are expected to continue through the end of 2025.

During the second quarter of 2024, we recognized $15 million in impairment charges primarily related to customer relationships and trademarks due to restructuring actions within our Water Solutions and Services segment.

Asset Impairment

During the first quarter of 2024, we recognized a $1 million impairment charge for internally developed software within Corporate. Refer to Note 9, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for additional information.

During the first quarter of 2023, we determined that internally developed in-process software within our Measurement and Control Solutions segment was impaired as a result of actions taken to prioritize strategic investments and we therefore recognized an impairment charge of $2 million. Refer to Note 9, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for additional information.

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, 2024 was $53 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.4%, compared to a $22 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.1% for the same period in 2023. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $96 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.6%, compared to a $49 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.5% for the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to earnings mix.

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 $79 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 (the “Court”). The parties await the Court’s decision as to whether it will hear the STA’s appeal, which may impact the timing of when the trial court considers the issue on remand. 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, 2024, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to this uncertain tax position.

Note 7. Earnings Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted net earnings per share:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Net income (in millions)	$	194	$	92	$	347	$	191
Shares (in thousands):
Weighted average common shares outstanding	242,538		205,505		242,182		192,938
Add: Participating securities (a)	34		34		31		29
Weighted average common shares outstanding — Basic	242,572		205,539		242,213		192,967
Plus incremental shares from assumed conversions: (b)
Dilutive effect of stock options	576		872		651		747
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units and performance share units	390		329		415		315
Weighted average common shares outstanding — Diluted	243,538		206,740		243,279		194,029
Basic earnings per share	$	0.80	$	0.45	$	1.43	$	0.99
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.80	$	0.45	$	1.43	$	0.98

(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.

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,

Note 9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill    

As a result of the change in reportable segments disclosed in Note 1, "Background and Basis of Presentation," goodwill was reallocated amongst segments. This reallocation and changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are as follows:

(in millions)	Water Infrastructure		Applied Water		Measurement and Control Solutions		Water Solutions and Services		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	2,434	$	895	$	1,739	$	2,519	$	7,587

Balance as of June 30, 2024	$	2,115	$	888	$	1,658	$	2,848	$	7,509

The Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Evoqua at their fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the excess purchase consideration recorded to goodwill. We have allocated goodwill to segments of the Company that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.

Other Intangible Assets

Information regarding our other intangible assets is as follows:

	June 30, 2024						December 31, 2023

Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets was $83 million and $156 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $51 million and $83 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2024, we recognized $13 million in impairment charges primarily related to customer relationships and trademarks due to restructuring actions within our Water Solutions and Services segment.

18

During the first quarter of 2024, we recognized a $1 million impairment charge for internally developed software within Corporate.

During 2023, we determined that internally developed in-process software within our Measurement and Control Solutions segment was impaired as a result of actions taken to prioritize strategic investments and we therefore recognized an impairment charge of $2 million.

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.

As a result of Evoqua terminating their interest rate swaps prior to the Company completing the acquisition, the Company received $38 million in proceeds during the second quarter of 2023 from the termination of the interest rate swaps.

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 $323 million and $29 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 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, purchase Polish Zloty and sell Euro, sell Canadian Dollar and purchase U.S. Dollar, sell Australian Dollar and purchase Euro, and purchase Canadian Dollar and sell U.S. Dollar. The purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives are $115 million, $96 million, $41 million, $22 million, $18 million, $15 million, $13 million, and $3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, our most significant foreign currency derivatives included contracts to purchase U.S. Dollar and sell Chinese Yuan and to purchase U.S. Dollar and sell Canadian Dollar. The purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives were $19 million and $10 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 $1,626 million and $1,691 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

19

The table below presents the effect of our derivative financial instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements and Statements of Comprehensive Income. Items in the table below reflect changes in "Other comprehensive loss" ("OCL") within the Statements of Comprehensive Income:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,

As of June 30, 2024, $4 million of net losses on cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2024, no gains or losses on the net investment hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings over their duration.

The fair values of our derivative assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs and are determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions including yield curves, time value and other measurements.

The fair values of our derivative contracts currently included in our hedging program were as follows:

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 45-180 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 $250 million and $176 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The table below provides changes in the confirmed obligations outstanding related to our supplier financing programs over each period:

Total long-term debt	$	1,981	$	2,268

(a)The fair value of our Senior Notes was determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, which are considered Level 1 inputs. The fair value of our Senior Notes due 2026 was $478 million and $482 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of our Senior Notes due 2028 was $449 million and $453 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of our Senior Notes due 2031 was $420 million and $429 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of our Senior Notes due 2046 was $335 million and $349 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(b)The debt issuance costs and unamortized discount are recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the Senior Notes in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are being amortized to interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated Income Statements over the expected remaining terms of the Senior Notes.

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, 2024, we are in compliance with all covenants for the Green Bond.

On October 11, 2016, we issued 3.250% Senior Notes of $500 million aggregate principal amount due October 2026 (the “Senior Notes due 2026”) and 4.375% Senior Notes of $400 million aggregate principal amount due October 2046 (the “Senior Notes due 2046” and, together with the Senior Notes due 2026, the “Senior Notes”).

The Senior Notes include 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 Senior Notes, as applicable, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole premium. We may also redeem the Senior Notes in certain other circumstances, as set forth in the applicable Senior Notes indenture.

22

If a change of control triggering event (as defined in the applicable Senior Notes indenture) occurs, we will be required to make an offer to purchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

Interest on the Senior Notes due 2026 and the Senior Notes due 2046 is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year. As of June 30, 2024, we are in compliance with all covenants for the Senior Notes.

Credit Facilities

2019 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility

On March 5, 2019, Xylem entered into a Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility (the “2019 Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The 2019 Credit Facility provided for an aggregate principal amount of up to $800 million (available in U.S. Dollars and in Euros), with increases of up to $200 million for a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1 billion at the request of Xylem and with the consent of the institutions providing such increased commitments. On March 1, 2023, Xylem terminated the 2019 Credit Facility among the Company, certain lenders and Citibank, N.A. as Administrative Agent as a result of signing the 2023 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility.

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, 2024, 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, 2024.

Term Loan Facility

On May 9, 2023, the Company’s subsidiary, Xylem Europe GmbH (the “Borrower”) entered into a twenty four-month €250 million (approximately $270 million) term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) the terms of which are set forth in a term loan agreement, among the Borrower, the Company, as parent guarantor and ING Bank. The Company has entered into a parent guarantee in favor of ING Bank also dated May 9, 2023 to secure all present and future obligations of the borrower under the Term Loan Agreement. The net cash proceeds were used to repay a portion of Evoqua’s indebtedness pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

On April 19, 2024 our Term Loan Facility was settled with cash on hand for a total of €250 million ($268 million).

Equipment Financing

As a result of the Evoqua acquisition, the Company has secured financing agreements that require providing a security interest in specified equipment and, in some cases, the underlying contract and related receivables. As of June 30, 2024, the gross and net amounts of those assets are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

	June 30, 2024
(in millions)	Gross		Net
Property, plant, and equipment, net	$	70	$	61

Commercial Paper

U.S. Dollar Commercial Paper Program

Our U.S. Dollar commercial paper program generally serves as a means of short-term funding with a $600 million maximum issuing balance and a combined limit of $1 billion inclusive of the 2023 Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of the Company's $600 million U.S. Dollar commercial paper program was outstanding, respectively. The net cash proceeds from issuance of commercial paper were used to repay a portion of Evoqua’s indebtedness pursuant to the Merger Agreement. We have the ability to continue borrowing under this program going forward in future periods.

Euro Commercial Paper Program

On June 3, 2019, Xylem entered into a Euro commercial paper program with ING Bank N.V., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of dealers. The Euro commercial paper program provides for a maximum issuing balance of up to €500 million (approximately $535 million) which may be denominated in a variety of currencies. The maximum issuing balance may be increased in accordance with the Dealer Agreement. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of the Company's Euro commercial paper program was outstanding. We have the ability to continue borrowing under this program going forward in future periods.

Receivables Securitization Program

On April 1, 2021, Evoqua Finance LLC (“Evoqua Finance”), now an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Receivables Securitization Program”) consisting of, among other agreements, (i) a Receivables Financing Agreement (as amended, the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) among Evoqua Finance, as the borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Receivables Financing Lenders”), PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"), as administrative agent, EWT LLC, as initial servicer, and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as structuring agent, pursuant to which the lenders have made available to Evoqua Finance a receivables finance facility in an amount up to $150 million, (ii) a Sale and Contribution Agreement (as amended, the “Sale and Contribution Agreement”) among Evoqua Finance, as purchaser, EWT LLC, as initial servicer and as an originator, and Neptune Benson, Inc., an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as an originator (together with EWT LLC, the “Originators”), and (iii) a Performance Guaranty of Xylem Inc. dated as of May 24, 2023 (the “Performance Guaranty”) in favor of PNC and for the benefit of PNC and the other secured parties under the Receivables Financing Agreement that replaced the performance guaranty of EWT Holdings II Corp. and EWT Holdings III Corp dated as of April 1, 2021.

The Receivables Securitization Program contains certain customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants, subject to certain cure periods in some cases, including the eligibility of the receivables being sold by the Originators and securing the loans made by the Receivables Financing Lenders, as well as customary reserve requirements, events of default, termination events, and servicer defaults.

On July 20, 2023, the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Performance Guaranty and the other transaction documents under the Receivables Financing Program were terminated and all outstanding obligations for principal, interest, and fees under the agreement were paid in full.

Stock Option Grants

The following is a summary of the changes in outstanding stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

	Share units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Exercise Price / Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
Outstanding at January 1, 2024	2,150	$	69.34	5.6	$	97
Granted	177	127.94
Exercised	(1,038)	61.22
Forfeited and expired	(88)	97.75
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	1,201	$	82.91	6.7	$	63
Options exercisable at June 30, 2024	859	$	71.02	5.8	$	55
Vested and expected to vest as of June 30, 2024	1,158	$	81.65	6.1	$	62

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, 2024 was $71 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 2024 grants:

Volatility	26.70		%
Risk-free interest rate	4.18		%
Dividend yield	1.13		%
Expected term (in years)	5.7
Weighted-average fair value / share	$	37.82

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, 2024. The fair value of the restricted share unit awards is determined using the closing price of our common stock on date of grant:

	Share units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value / Share
Outstanding at January 1, 2024	862	$	98.49
Granted	271	128.80
Vested	(398)	77.54
Forfeited	(52)	100.84
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	683	$	110.32

28

ROIC and Adjusted EBITDA Performance Share Unit Grants

The following is a summary of our ROIC and EBITDA grants for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The fair value of the adjusted EBITDA performance share units is equal to the closing share price on the date of the grant:

	Share units  (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value / Share
Outstanding at January 1, 2024	114	$	97.70
Granted	26	127.94
Adjustment for Performance Condition Achieved (a)	16	102.51
Vested	(64)	102.51
Forfeited	(14)	96.31
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	78	$	105.11

(a) Represents an increase in the number of original ROIC performance share units awarded based on the final market condition achievement at the end of the performance period of such awards.

TSR Performance Share Unit Grants

The following is a summary of our Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") performance share unit grants for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

	Share units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value / Share
Outstanding at January 1, 2024	180	$	103.52
Granted	52	181.80
Adjustment for Market Condition Achieved (a)	(9)	117.67
Vested	(39)	117.67
Forfeited	(28)	102.69
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	156	$	125.63

(a) Represents a decrease in the number of original TSR performance share units awarded based on the final market condition achievement at the end of the performance period of such awards.

The fair value of TSR performance share units was calculated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing several key assumptions, including expected Company and peer company share price volatility, correlation coefficients between peers, the risk-free rate of return, the expected dividend yield and other award design features. The following are weighted-average assumptions for 2024 grants:

Volatility	27.2	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.33	%

Revenue Performance Share Unit Grants

The following is a summary of our Revenue performance share unit grants for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

	Share units  (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value / Share
Outstanding at January 1, 2024	66	$	94.19
Granted	26	127.94
Forfeited	(14)	96.31
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	78	$	62.69

29

The fair value of the Revenue performance share unit awards is determined using the closing price of our common stock on date of grant.

For the performance periods, the performance share units were awarded at a target of 100% with actual payout contingent upon the achievement of a pre-set, three-year adjusted ROIC performance target for ROIC performance share units, a third-year adjusted EBITDA performance target for adjusted EBITDA performance share units, a pre-set third year revenue target for Revenue performance share units and a relative TSR performance for TSR performance share units.

Note 16. Capital Stock

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased less than 0.1 million shares of common stock for approximately $3 million and approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock for $18 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased less than 0.1 million shares of common stock for approximately $1 million and approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock for $9 million, respectively. Repurchases include share repurchase programs approved by the Board of Directors and repurchases in relation to settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due as a result of the vesting of restricted stock units. The details of repurchases by each program are as follows:

On August 24, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million in shares with no expiration date. The program's objective is to deploy our capital in a manner that benefits our stockholders and maintains our focus on growth. There were no shares repurchased under the program for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. There are up to $182 million in shares that may still be purchased under this plan as of June 30, 2024.

Aside from the aforementioned repurchase program, we repurchased less than 0.1 million shares and approximately 0.1 million shares for approximately $3 million and $18 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, in relation to settlement of employee tax withholding obligations due as a result of the vesting of restricted stock units. Likewise, we repurchased less than 0.1 million shares and approximately 0.1 million shares for $1 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

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 $6 million and $18 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, for these general legal matters.

31

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of surety bonds, bank guarantees, insurance letters of credit, stand-by letters of credit as well as revenue and customs guarantees was $733 million and $729 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. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in many of these proceedings our liability is considered de minimis. We have received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and from similar state and foreign environmental agencies, that a number of sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by Xylem or for which we are responsible, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances where we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations.

Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site-by-site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. Our accrued liabilities for these environmental matters represent our best estimates related to the investigation and remediation of environmental media such as water, soil, soil vapor, air and structures, as well as related legal fees. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed quarterly and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for these environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis. We have estimated and accrued $4 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for environmental matters.

It is difficult to estimate the final costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of investigation or remediation and our share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of alternative remedial approaches, and changes in environmental standards and regulatory requirements. 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:

(in millions)	2024		2023
Warranty accrual – January 1	$	63	$	54
Net charges for product warranties in the period	17		13
Net Evoqua additions from acquisition	—		10
Settlement of warranty claims	(18)		(13)
Warranty accrual – June 30	$	62	$	64

Evoqua Acquisition

On May 24, 2023, Xylem completed the acquisition of Evoqua. Commencing from the acquisition date, Xylem’s financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of Evoqua. Refer to Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," for additional information.

Executive Summary

Xylem reported revenue for the second quarter of 2024 of $2,169 million, an increase of 26.0% compared to $1,722 million reported in the second quarter of 2023. The revenue increase consisted primarily of organic growth of 9.2% on continued strong execution and demand across most of our reportable segments, as well as revenue contributed by acquisitions and divestitures, net, of $302 million.

Additional financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 include the following:

•Orders of $2,087 million, up 12.4% from $1,856 million in the prior year period, and down 1.2% on an organic basis.

•Earnings per share of $0.80, up 77.8% compared to prior year ($1.09, up 11.2% versus prior year, on an adjusted basis).

•Net income as a percent of revenue of 8.9%, up 360 basis points compared to 5.3% in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.8%, up 170 basis points when compared to 19.1% in the prior year.

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.

38

•"adjusted net income" and "adjusted earnings per share" defined as net income and earnings per share, respectively, adjusted to exclude restructuring and realignment costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gain or loss from the 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.

(a) The special charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 consist primarily of acquisition and integration costs related to the Evoqua transaction.

(b) The tax effects of adjustments are calculated using the statutory tax rate, taking into consideration the nature of the item and the relevant taxing jurisdiction.

•"adjusted operating expenses" defined as operating expenses adjusted to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring and realignment costs and special charges.

•"adjusted operating income" defined as operating income, adjusted to exclude restructuring and realignment costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and special charges, as applicable; and "adjusted operating margin" defined as adjusted operating income divided by total revenue.

•“EBITDA” defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, "adjusted EBITDA" reflects the adjustment to EBITDA to exclude share-based compensation charges, restructuring and realignment costs, gain or loss from sale of businesses and special charges, and "adjusted EBITDA margin" defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.

•“realignment costs” defined as costs not included in restructuring costs that are incurred as part of actions taken to reposition our business, including items such as professional fees, severance, relocation, travel, facility set-up and other costs.

•“special charges" defined as non-recurring costs incurred by the Company, such as those related to acquisitions and integrations, divestitures and non-cash impairment charges.

•"tax-related special items" defined as tax items, such as tax return versus tax provision adjustments, tax exam impacts, tax law change impacts, excess tax benefits/losses and other discrete tax adjustments.

39

•"free cash flow" defined as net cash from operating activities, as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, less capital expenditures. Our definition of "free cash flow" does not consider certain non-discretionary cash payments, such as debt. The following table provides a reconciliation of free cash flow.

An order represents a legally enforceable, written document that includes the scope of work or services to be performed or equipment to be supplied to a customer, the corresponding price and the expected delivery date for the applicable products or services to be provided. An order often takes the form of a customer purchase order or a signed quote from a Xylem business. Orders received during the second quarter of 2024 were $2,087 million, an increase of $231 million, or 12.4%, over the prior year (13.0% increase on a constant currency basis). Orders received during the six months ended of 2024 were $4,333 million, an increase of $907 million, or 26.5%, over the prior year (26.8% increase on a constant currency basis). Orders contributed by acquisitions were $265 million and $886 million in the three and six months ended ended June 30, 2024. Order intake was negatively impacted by $11 million and $10 million of foreign currency translation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively with organic orders being a decline of $23 million (1.2%) and growth of $31 million (0.9%) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

The following table illustrates the impact from organic decline/growth, recent acquisitions and divestitures, and foreign currency translation in relation to orders during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024:

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 $5,156 million at June 30, 2024, a decrease of $115 million or 2.2%, as compared to June 30, 2023 backlog of $5,271 million. The decrease in backlog was driven by backlog execution in the Measurement and Control Solutions segment. Backlog increased $68 million or 1.3%, as compared to December 31, 2023 backlog of $5,088 million. The increase in backlog was driven by the order intake and contract wins in the current period outpacing revenue and cancellations. We anticipate that approximately 40% of the backlog at June 30, 2024 will be recognized as revenue in the remainder of 2024. There were no significant order cancellations during the quarter.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue remained flat at 37.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and decreased 40 basis points to 37.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to 37.8% for the comparative 2023 period. Gross margin for the quarter included unfavorable impacts of 10 basis points from increases in special charges and acquired intangible asset amortization as compared to the prior year. Additionally, gross margin included 320 basis points of favorable operational impacts, driven by 170 basis points of favorable operational impacts, 90 basis points of price realization, and 50 basis points of increased volume. These increased in gross margin were offset by 310 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts driven by 120 basis points of inflation, 60 basis points of unfavorable mix, 30 basis points of inventory management costs, and 20 basis points of increased spending on strategic investments. The gross margin decrease for the six-month period included 50 basis points from increases in special charges and acquired intangible asset amortization as compared to the prior year. Additionally, gross margin decline included 290 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts, driven by 120 basis points of inflation and 100 basis points of unfavorable impacts from the Evoqua acquisition. The gross margin decrease was partially offset by 300 basis points of favorable operational impacts driven by 170 basis points of productivity savings, 80 basis points of favorable price realization, and 30 basis points of increased volume.

Expense to revenue ratio	26.1		%	30.9		%	(480)	bp	26.4		%	29.9		%	(350)	bp

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses

SG&A expenses increased by $39 million to $485 million, or 22.4% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $446 million, or 25.9% of revenue, in the comparable 2023 period and increased $159 million to $959 million, or 22.8% of revenue, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $800 million, or 25.2% of revenue, in the comparable 2023 period. Increases in SG&A in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior year primarily consisted of $57 million of additional operational SG&A from the acquisition of Evoqua, inflation of $12 million, increased spending on strategic investments of $11 million, and $9 million of volume. These increases to SG&A expenses were partially offset by decreased realignment costs and special charges of $42 million and $14 million of productivity savings. Increases in SG&A in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the prior year primarily consisted of $148 million of additional operational SG&A from the acquisition of Evoqua, inflation of $23 million, increased spending on strategic investments of $18 million and $10 million of volume. These increases to SG&A expenses were partially offset by decreased realignment costs and special charges of $50 million and $25 million of productivity savings

Research and Development ("R&D") Expenses

R&D expense was $58 million, or 2.7% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $58 million, or 3.4% of revenue in the second quarter of 2023, and was $117 million, or 2.8% of revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $111 million, or 3.5% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The R&D spend has remained fairly consistent year over year.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

Restructuring

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, 2024, the charges incurred primarily related to strengthening our competitive positioning and the integration of Evoqua.

Actions commenced in 2024 and 2023 consist primarily of severance charges. We currently expect to incur between $40 and $50 million in restructuring costs for the full year.

Refer to Note 5, "Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges."

The following is a roll-forward for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of employee position eliminations associated with restructuring activities:

Operating Income, Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA

Operating income was $253 million (operating margin of 11.7%) during the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $134 million, or 112.6%, when compared to operating income of $119 million (operating margin of 6.9%) during the prior year. Operating margin increased 480 basis points, which included net favorable impacts of 360 basis points from decreases in special charges and restructuring and realignment costs, partially offset by increases in acquired intangible asset amortization compared to the prior year. Additionally, operating margin expansion included 530 basis points of favorable operational impacts driven by 240 basis points of productivity savings, 150 basis points of increased volumes, and 120 basis points of price realization. These favorable impacts were partially offset by 420 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts, driven by 180 basis points of inflation, 70 basis points of increased spending on strategic investments, 60 basis points of unfavorable mix and 50 basis points of increased employee costs. Excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and realignment costs, and special charges, adjusted operating income was $352 million (adjusted operating margin of 16.2%) for the second quarter of 2024 as compared to adjusted operating income of $259 million (adjusted operating margin of 15.0%) during the comparable quarter in the prior year.

Net income for the second quarter was $194 million (net income margin of 8.9%), an increase of $102 million as compared to Net income in the prior year of $92 million (net income margin of 5.3%). The increase in net income was driven by increased operating income of $134 million, decreased non-operating income and gains from sale of businesses of $2 million, decreased interest expense of $1 million and increased income tax expense of $31 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $452 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.8%) during the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $123 million, or 37%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $329 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.1%) during the comparable quarter in the prior year, an increase to adjusted EBITDA margin of 170 basis points. Adjusted EBITDA margin was impacted by the same offsetting factors impacting the adjusted operating margin; however, adjusted EBITDA margin also benefited from the exclusion of incremental depreciation and amortization.

Operating income was $462 million (operating margin of 11.0%) during the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $212 million, or 84.8%, when compared to operating income of $250 million (operating margin of 7.9%) during the prior year. Operating margin increased 310 basis points, which included net favorable impacts of 170 basis points from decreases in special charges and restructuring and realignment costs, partially offset by increases in acquired intangible asset amortization compared to the prior year. Additionally, operating margin expansion included 520 basis points of favorable operational impacts driven by 250 basis points of productivity savings, 130 basis points of increased volumes and 110 basis points of price realization. These favorable impacts were partially offset by 380 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts, driven by a 180 basis points of inflation, 80 basis points of increased spending on strategic investments and 40 basis points of increased inventory management costs. Excluding acquired intangible asset amortization, restructuring and realignment costs, and special charges, adjusted operating income was $646 million (adjusted operating margin of 15.4%) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to adjusted operating income of $444 million (adjusted operating margin of 14.0%) during the comparable period in the prior year.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $347 million (net income margin of 8.3%), an increase of $156 million as compared to Net income in the prior year of $191 million (net income margin of 6.0%). The increase in net income was driven by increased operating income of $212 million, decreased non-operating income of $1 million, increased loss from sale of businesses of $4 million, increased interest expense of $4 million and increased income tax expense of $47 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $843 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.1%) during the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $278 million, or 49%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $565 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.8%) during the comparable quarter in the prior year, an increase to adjusted EBITDA margin of 230 basis points. Adjusted EBITDA margin was impacted by the same offsetting factors impacting the adjusted operating margin; however, adjusted EBITDA margin also benefited from the exclusion of incremental depreciation and amortization.

Water Infrastructure

Operating income for our Water Infrastructure segment was $78 million (operating margin of 12.4%) during the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $8 million, or 11.4%, when compared to operating income of $70 million (operating margin of 13.5%) during the prior year, or a total decrease in operating margin of 110 basis points. Operating margin declines included favorable impacts of 60 basis points from only a slight net increase in acquired intangible asset amortization, offset by special charges as compared to the prior year on increased revenue. Additionally, operating margin declines included 530 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts, driven by 160 basis points of inflation, 90 basis points of increased employee related costs, 90 basis points of decreased operating margin related to the Evoqua acquisition, 40 basis points of increased spending on strategic investments, and 40 basis points of decreased volume. Margin declines were offset by 360 basis points from favorable operating impacts driven by 240 basis points of productivity savings and 60 basis points of price realization. Excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring and realignment cost and special charges, adjusted operating income was $101 million (adjusted operating margin of 16.0%) for the second quarter of 2024 as compared to adjusted operating income of $92 million (adjusted operating margin of 17.7%) for the second quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $125 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.8%) for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of $19 million, or 17.9%, when compared to adjusted EBITDA of $106 million (adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.4%) during the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was impacted by the same offsetting factors impacting the adjusted operating margin; however, adjusted EBITDA margin was not negatively impacted by the relative impact of depreciation, and software amortization expense.

52

Operating income for our Water Infrastructure segment was $138 million (operating margin of 11.5%) during the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $22 million, or 19.0%, when compared to operating income of $116 million (operating margin of 12.5%) during the prior year, or a total decrease in operating margin of 100 basis points. Operating margin declines included net unfavorable impacts of 140 basis points from increases in acquired intangible asset amortization and restructuring and realignment costs partially offset by decreases in special charges as compared to the prior year. Additionally, operating margin declines included 460 basis points of unfavorable operational impacts, driven by 170 basis points of inflation, 60 basis points of increased spending on strategic investments, and 60 basis points of decreased operating margin related to the Evoqua acquisition. Margin declines were offset by 500 basis points from favorable operating impacts consisting of 240 basis points of productivity savings, 120 basis points of favorable mix, 60 basis points of price realization, 50 basis points of favorable currency impacts and 30 basis points of increased volume. Excluding amortization of acquired intangibles, restructuring and realignment cost and special charges, adjusted operating income was $189 million (adjusted operating margin of 15.7%) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to adjusted operating income of $142 million (adjusted operating margin of 15.3%) for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Operating margin declines included 490 basis points from unfavorable operational impacts, driven by 200 basis points of inflation, 140 basis points of unfavorable mix, 60 basis points of inventory management costs, and 50 basis points of increased employee related costs. The decline in margin was partially offset by favorable operational impacts of 290 basis points driven by 250 basis points of productivity savings. Excluding restructuring and realignment costs, adjusted operating income was $73 million (adjusted operating margin of 16.0%) for the first quarter of 2024 as compared to adjusted operating income of $86 million (adjusted operating margin of 18.0%) for the second quarter of 2023.

Excluding special charges and restructuring and realignment costs, adjusted operating loss for corporate and other increased $4 million, or 10.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 driven primarily by increased spending on strategic investments.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $11 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $12 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by a reduction of interest on commercial paper and the repayment of the term loan entered into in May 2023 for use in funding the acquisition of Evoqua. The term loan was repaid on April 19, 2024. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in interest expense from the securitization and equipment financing facilities assumed as part of our acquisition of Evoqua.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024 interest expense was $25 million compared to $21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The term loan was repaid on April 19, 2024.

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.

Income Tax Expense

The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $53 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.4%, compared to $22 million of expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.1% for the same period in 2023. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $96 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.6%, compared to a $49 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.5% for the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 was higher than the effective tax rate for the same period in 2023, primarily due to earnings mix.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

Operating Activities

Cash generated by operating activities was $377 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to cash generated by operating activities of $9 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in cash provided was primarily driven by higher cash earnings, the investment in a distribution agreement of select technology and payments made for Evoqua's pre-closing transaction costs in 2023 that did not recur in 2024, timing of collections of accounts receivables and lower tax payments. Increased inventory levels and the build up of payable balances in 2023 related to Evoqua acquisition transaction costs compared to the payment of trade payables in 2024 partially offset these items.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $128 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $489 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in cash used reflects payments related to the 2023 Evoqua acquisition, cash received from the termination of acquired interest rate swaps in 2023 that did not recur in 2024 and reduced cash paid for equity investments. Lower proceeds from the sale of a businesses and higher capital expenditures partially offset these items.

Financing Activities

Cash used by financing activities was $419 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to cash received of $235 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in cash used reflects cash received from a new term loan agreement and the issuance of commercial paper in 2023 that did not recur in 2024, the repayment of a term loan in the current year, and higher dividend payments.

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.

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.

56

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 $1.8 billion, consisting of $815 million 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 in the emerging markets and elsewhere 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 2023 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 2023 Annual Report.

2024 Outlook

We are updating our total revenue growth to be 16%, and organic revenue growth to be in the range of 5% to 6% in 2024. Our outlook reflects our current visibility and expectations based on the current market environment and other factors and is largely consistent with the outlook provided in our 2023 Annual Report. 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 2023 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 2023 Annual Report.

57

ITEM 4.             CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly 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.

PART II

ITEM 1.             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.

Evoqua previously disclosed in its public filings that the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts was investigating whether financial misstatements were made in Evoqua’s public filings and earnings announcements from 2016 to 2018 and prior to Xylem’s purchase of Evoqua. Xylem previously disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report that the investigation was moved to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Rhode Island (the “USAO”). On May 13, 2024, Evoqua and the USAO entered into a non-prosecution agreement (the “Agreement”) to resolve the matter. Under the Agreement, Evoqua paid a criminal monetary penalty of $8.5 million. The Agreement does not include a compliance monitorship, and Evoqua agreed to certain ongoing monitoring, reporting and compliance obligations for a period of two years.

See Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information and any updates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." This guidance requires disclosure information about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the guidance on our disclosures in future periods.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "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.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, "Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations." This guidance requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. The standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The ASU became effective January 1, 2023, and the rollforward requirement became effective January 1, 2024. Refer to Note 11, "Current Liabilities" for the disclosures related to our adoption of the standard.

Background and Basis of Presentation

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.

Acquisition of Evoqua

On May 24, 2023, Xylem completed the acquisition of Evoqua Water Technologies Corp. (“Evoqua”). Refer to Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," for additional information.

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, 2023 ("2023 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 2023 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.

The Company announced a change to its reportable segments effective January 1, 2024, and as a result, is now reporting the financial position and results of operations of its former Integrated Solutions and Services segment together with the dewatering business, previously within our Water Infrastructure segment, and the assessment services business, previously within our Measurement and Control Solutions segment, in a new segment that is referred to as Water Solutions and Services. The Company’s Water Infrastructure reportable segment no longer includes the results of the dewatering business, and the Company’s Measurement and Control Solutions reportable segment no longer includes the results of the assessment services business. The Company's Applied Water reportable segment remains unchanged. As a result of the change, the Company has recast prior period segment amounts to align with the new segment reporting. The recast financial information reflects depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation specifically identified to the segments that were previously reported

within Corporate and other and Regional selling locations as part of an overall allocation. These changes have no impact on the Company’s historical consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions and Divestitures

Evoqua Water Technologies Corp.

On May 24, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Evoqua, a leader in providing water and wastewater treatment solutions, offering a broad portfolio of products and services to support industrial, municipal, and recreational customers, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 22, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided that Fore Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merge with and into Evoqua, with Evoqua surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Xylem (the “Merger”). Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Evoqua common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive 0.48 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of the common stock of Xylem. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger on May 24, 2023, legacy Evoqua stockholders owned approximately 25% and legacy Xylem shareholders owned approximately 75% of the combined company. The purchase price for purposes of the Merger consisted of an aggregate of $6,121 million of the Company’s common stock, $160 million in replacement equity awards, and $619 million to repay certain indebtedness of Evoqua (refer to Note 12, "Credit Facilities and Debt").

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration totaled $6,900 million, which consisted of the following:

(in millions)	Fair Value of Purchase Consideration
Xylem Common Stock issued to Evoqua stockholders (58,779,096 shares)	$	6,121
Estimated replacement equity awards	160
Payment of certain Evoqua indebtedness	619
Total	$	6,900

The Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) and recognized assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of the date of acquisition, with the excess purchase consideration recorded to goodwill. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation. The following table summarizes the acquisition date fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed from Evoqua:

(in millions)	Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	143
Receivables(a)	430
Inventories	258
Prepaid and other current assets	78
Assets held for sale	8
Property, plant and equipment, net	508
Goodwill	4,801
Other intangible assets, net	1,769
Other non-current assets	180
Non-current assets held for sale	85
Accounts payable	(210)
Accrued and other current liabilities	(357)
Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt	(166)
Liabilities held for sale	(1)
Long-term debt	(111)
Other non-current accrued liabilities	(120)
Deferred income tax liabilities	(392)
Non-current liabilities held for sale	(3)
Total	$	6,900

(a) Including $320 million of receivables and $110 million of contract assets.

Prior to finalizing the purchase price allocation during the second quarter of 2024, the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were 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 fair value of receivables acquired is $320 million, with the gross contractual amount being $329 million. The Company expects $9 million to be uncollectible.

The $4,801 million of goodwill recognized, which is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, is primarily attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of Evoqua and Xylem as well as the assembled workforce of Evoqua.

Identifiable Intangible Assets Acquired

The following table summarizes key information underlying identifiable intangible assets related to the Evoqua acquisition:

(in millions)	Useful Life (in years)	Useful Life Weighted Average (in years)	Fair Value (in millions)
Trademarks	6	6.0	$	50
Proprietary technology and patents	4 - 9	7.1	120
Customer and distributor relationships	6 - 20	17.9	1,395
Backlog	1 - 10	5.4	120
Permits	8	8.0	70
Software	1 - 13	2.3	14
Total		15.4	$	1,769

The estimate of the fair value of Evoqua’s identifiable intangible assets was determined primarily using the “income approach,” which requires a forecast of all of the expected future cash flows either through the use of the multi-period excess earnings method or the relief-from-royalty method. 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 (“ASC 820”). Intangible assets consisting of the Evoqua tradename, technology, customer relationships, backlog, and permits were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MEEM”), the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method, or the with and without method, which are all forms of the income approach. Intangible assets related to Evoqua software were valued using the cost approach.

•Trademarks and proprietary technology intangible assets were valued using the RFR method. The RFR method of valuation 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).

•Customer and distributor relationships and backlog intangible assets were valued using the MEEM method. The MEEM method of valuation 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 Permits intangible asset was valued using the with and without method. The with and without method of valuation is an approach that considers the hypothetical impact to the projected cash flows of the business if the intangible asset was not put in place.

•The Software intangible asset was valued using the cost approach. The cost approach method of valuation is an approach that relies on estimating the replacement or reproduction costs new of assets, along with factors of physical deterioration, 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.

•Inventory was estimated using the comparative sales method, which quantifies the fair value of inventory based on the expected sales price of the subject inventory (when complete), reduced for: (i) all costs expected to be incurred in its completion and disposition efforts and (ii) a profit on those value-added completion and disposition costs.

In connection with the Merger, each outstanding and issued option, restricted stock unit (“RSU”), performance stock unit (“PSU”) and cash-settled stock appreciation right (“SAR”) was converted into the Xylem equivalent, with outstanding PSUs being converted into Xylem RSUs. As a result, Xylem issued 2 million replacement equity options and 707 thousand RSU awards (of which 330 thousand were converted PSUs.) The portion of the fair value related to pre-combination services of $160 million was included in the purchase price, and $56 million will be recognized over the remaining service periods. As of June 30, 2024, the future unrecognized expense related to the outstanding options and RSUs was less than $1 million and approximately $5 million, respectively. The future unrecognized expense related to options and RSUs will be recognized over a weighted-average service period of approximately one year. SARs are immaterial.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following table summarizes, on an unaudited pro forma basis, the condensed combined results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, assuming the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2022.

	(Unaudited) Three Months Ended June 30,		(Unaudited) Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023		2023
Revenue	$	2,025	$	3,952
Net income	$	63	$	170

The foregoing unaudited pro forma results are for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that might have occurred had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results. The unaudited pro-forma information for all periods presented includes the following adjustments, where applicable, for business combination accounting effects resulting from the acquisition: (i) amortization of the fair value step up in inventory, (ii) additional amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets acquired, (iii) repayment of Evoqua’s term loan and revolver and the settlement of the related interest rate swap, (iv) additional interest expense related to financing for the acquisition (refer to Note 12, "Credit Facilities and Debt"), (v) depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment, (vi) additional incremental stock-based compensation expense for the replacement of Evoqua’s outstanding equity awards with Xylem’s replacement equity awards, and (vii) the related tax effects assuming that the business combination occurred on January 1, 2022.

The significant nonrecurring adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro-forma consolidated information above include the reclassification of the transaction costs to the earliest period presented and the reversal of the impacts related to the settlement of the interest rate swap, each net of tax.

Divestitures

On June 15, 2023, Xylem sold the former Evoqua carbon reactivation and slurry operations to Desotec US LLC, a subsidiary of Desotec N.V., for approximately $91 million, a price equal to the fair value less costs to sell the business.

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, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied for contracts with performance obligations, amount to $1.4 billion, of which $804 million was contributed by the Evoqua acquisition. We expect to recognize the majority of revenue upon the completion of satisfying these performance obligations in the following 60 months. 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.

Restructuring

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, 2024, the charges incurred primarily related to strengthening our competitive positioning and the integration of Evoqua.

The actions commenced in 2024 consist primarily of severance and asset impairment charges. The actions are expected to continue through the end of 2025.

During the second quarter of 2024, we recognized $15 million in impairment charges primarily related to customer relationships and trademarks due to restructuring actions within our Water Solutions and Services segment.

Asset Impairment

During the first quarter of 2024, we recognized a $1 million impairment charge for internally developed software within Corporate. Refer to Note 9, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for additional information.

During the first quarter of 2023, we determined that internally developed in-process software within our Measurement and Control Solutions segment was impaired as a result of actions taken to prioritize strategic investments and we therefore recognized an impairment charge of $2 million. Refer to Note 9, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for additional information.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

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, 2024 was $53 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.4%, compared to a $22 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 19.1% for the same period in 2023. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $96 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.6%, compared to a $49 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.5% for the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to earnings mix.

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 $79 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 (the “Court”). The parties await the Court’s decision as to whether it will hear the STA’s appeal, which may impact the timing of when the trial court considers the issue on remand. 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, 2024, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to this uncertain 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.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

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.

As a result of Evoqua terminating their interest rate swaps prior to the Company completing the acquisition, the Company received $38 million in proceeds during the second quarter of 2023 from the termination of the interest rate swaps.

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 $323 million and $29 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 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, purchase Polish Zloty and sell Euro, sell Canadian Dollar and purchase U.S. Dollar, sell Australian Dollar and purchase Euro, and purchase Canadian Dollar and sell U.S. Dollar. The purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives are $115 million, $96 million, $41 million, $22 million, $18 million, $15 million, $13 million, and $3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, our most significant foreign currency derivatives included contracts to purchase U.S. Dollar and sell Chinese Yuan and to purchase U.S. Dollar and sell Canadian Dollar. The purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives were $19 million and $10 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 $1,626 million and $1,691 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The table below presents the effect of our derivative financial instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements and Statements of Comprehensive Income. Items in the table below reflect changes in "Other comprehensive loss" ("OCL") within the Statements of Comprehensive Income:

As of June 30, 2024, $4 million of net losses on cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2024, no gains or losses on the net investment hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings over their duration.

The fair values of our derivative assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs and are determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions including yield curves, time value and other measurements.

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 45-180 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 $250 million and $176 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Credit Facilities

2019 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility

On March 5, 2019, Xylem entered into a Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility (the “2019 Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The 2019 Credit Facility provided for an aggregate principal amount of up to $800 million (available in U.S. Dollars and in Euros), with increases of up to $200 million for a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1 billion at the request of Xylem and with the consent of the institutions providing such increased commitments. On March 1, 2023, Xylem terminated the 2019 Credit Facility among the Company, certain lenders and Citibank, N.A. as Administrative Agent as a result of signing the 2023 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility.

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, 2024, 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, 2024.

Term Loan Facility

On May 9, 2023, the Company’s subsidiary, Xylem Europe GmbH (the “Borrower”) entered into a twenty four-month €250 million (approximately $270 million) term loan facility (the “Term Facility”) the terms of which are set forth in a term loan agreement, among the Borrower, the Company, as parent guarantor and ING Bank. The Company has entered into a parent guarantee in favor of ING Bank also dated May 9, 2023 to secure all present and future obligations of the borrower under the Term Loan Agreement. The net cash proceeds were used to repay a portion of Evoqua’s indebtedness pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

On April 19, 2024 our Term Loan Facility was settled with cash on hand for a total of €250 million ($268 million).

Equipment Financing

As a result of the Evoqua acquisition, the Company has secured financing agreements that require providing a security interest in specified equipment and, in some cases, the underlying contract and related receivables. As of June 30, 2024, the gross and net amounts of those assets are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

	June 30, 2024
(in millions)	Gross		Net
Property, plant, and equipment, net	$	70	$	61
Receivables, net	3		3
Prepaid and other current assets	5		5

Commercial Paper

U.S. Dollar Commercial Paper Program

Our U.S. Dollar commercial paper program generally serves as a means of short-term funding with a $600 million maximum issuing balance and a combined limit of $1 billion inclusive of the 2023 Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of the Company's $600 million U.S. Dollar commercial paper program was outstanding, respectively. The net cash proceeds from issuance of commercial paper were used to repay a portion of Evoqua’s indebtedness pursuant to the Merger Agreement. We have the ability to continue borrowing under this program going forward in future periods.

Euro Commercial Paper Program

On June 3, 2019, Xylem entered into a Euro commercial paper program with ING Bank N.V., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of dealers. The Euro commercial paper program provides for a maximum issuing balance of up to €500 million (approximately $535 million) which may be denominated in a variety of currencies. The maximum issuing balance may be increased in accordance with the Dealer Agreement. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of the Company's Euro commercial paper program was outstanding. We have the ability to continue borrowing under this program going forward in future periods.

Receivables Securitization Program

On April 1, 2021, Evoqua Finance LLC (“Evoqua Finance”), now an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Receivables Securitization Program”) consisting of, among other agreements, (i) a Receivables Financing Agreement (as amended, the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) among Evoqua Finance, as the borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Receivables Financing Lenders”), PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"), as administrative agent, EWT LLC, as initial servicer, and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as structuring agent, pursuant to which the lenders have made available to Evoqua Finance a receivables finance facility in an amount up to $150 million, (ii) a Sale and Contribution Agreement (as amended, the “Sale and Contribution Agreement”) among Evoqua Finance, as purchaser, EWT LLC, as initial servicer and as an originator, and Neptune Benson, Inc., an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as an originator (together with EWT LLC, the “Originators”), and (iii) a Performance Guaranty of Xylem Inc. dated as of May 24, 2023 (the “Performance Guaranty”) in favor of PNC and for the benefit of PNC and the other secured parties under the Receivables Financing Agreement that replaced the performance guaranty of EWT Holdings II Corp. and EWT Holdings III Corp dated as of April 1, 2021.

The Receivables Securitization Program contains certain customary representations, warranties, affirmative covenants, and negative covenants, subject to certain cure periods in some cases, including the eligibility of the receivables being sold by the Originators and securing the loans made by the Receivables Financing Lenders, as well as customary reserve requirements, events of default, termination events, and servicer defaults.

On July 20, 2023, the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Sale and Contribution Agreement and the Performance Guaranty and the other transaction documents under the Receivables Financing Program were terminated and all outstanding obligations for principal, interest, and fees under the agreement were paid in full.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Share-Based Compensation Plans

Share-Based Compensation Plans

Share-based compensation expense was $13 million and $31 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $16 million and $27 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The unrecognized compensation expense related to our stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units was $8 million, $50 million and $19 million, respectively, at June 30, 2024 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1, 2.1 and 2.2 years, respectively. The amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $63 million and $40 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On May 24, 2023, there were an additional 2.7 million shares registered for issuance. As of June 30, 2024, there were approximately 5.3 million shares of common stock available for future awards.

Stock Option Grants

The following is a summary of the changes in outstanding stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

	Share units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Exercise Price / Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
Outstanding at January 1, 2024	2,150	$	69.34	5.6	$	97
Granted	177	127.94
Exercised	(1,038)	61.22
Forfeited and expired	(88)	97.75
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	1,201	$	82.91	6.7	$	63
Options exercisable at June 30, 2024	859	$	71.02	5.8	$	55
Vested and expected to vest as of June 30, 2024	1,158	$	81.65	6.1	$	62

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, 2024 was $71 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 2024 grants:

Volatility	26.70		%
Risk-free interest rate	4.18		%
Dividend yield	1.13		%
Expected term (in years)	5.7
Weighted-average fair value / share	$	37.82

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, 2024. The fair value of the restricted share unit awards is determined using the closing price of our common stock on date of grant:

	Share units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value / Share
Outstanding at January 1, 2024	862	$	98.49
Granted	271	128.80
Vested	(398)	77.54
Forfeited	(52)	100.84
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	683	$	110.32

ROIC and Adjusted EBITDA Performance Share Unit Grants

The following is a summary of our ROIC and EBITDA grants for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The fair value of the adjusted EBITDA performance share units is equal to the closing share price on the date of the grant:

	Share units  (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value / Share
Outstanding at January 1, 2024	114	$	97.70
Granted	26	127.94
Adjustment for Performance Condition Achieved (a)	16	102.51
Vested	(64)	102.51
Forfeited	(14)	96.31
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	78	$	105.11

(a) Represents an increase in the number of original ROIC performance share units awarded based on the final market condition achievement at the end of the performance period of such awards.

TSR Performance Share Unit Grants

The following is a summary of our Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") performance share unit grants for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

	Share units (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value / Share
Outstanding at January 1, 2024	180	$	103.52
Granted	52	181.80
Adjustment for Market Condition Achieved (a)	(9)	117.67
Vested	(39)	117.67
Forfeited	(28)	102.69
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	156	$	125.63

(a) Represents a decrease in the number of original TSR performance share units awarded based on the final market condition achievement at the end of the performance period of such awards.

The fair value of TSR performance share units was calculated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing several key assumptions, including expected Company and peer company share price volatility, correlation coefficients between peers, the risk-free rate of return, the expected dividend yield and other award design features. The following are weighted-average assumptions for 2024 grants:

Volatility	27.2	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.33	%

Revenue Performance Share Unit Grants

The following is a summary of our Revenue performance share unit grants for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

	Share units  (in thousands)	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value / Share
Outstanding at January 1, 2024	66	$	94.19
Granted	26	127.94
Forfeited	(14)	96.31
Outstanding at June 30, 2024	78	$	62.69

The fair value of the Revenue performance share unit awards is determined using the closing price of our common stock on date of grant.

For the performance periods, the performance share units were awarded at a target of 100% with actual payout contingent upon the achievement of a pre-set, three-year adjusted ROIC performance target for ROIC performance share units, a third-year adjusted EBITDA performance target for adjusted EBITDA performance share units, a pre-set third year revenue target for Revenue performance share units and a relative TSR performance for TSR performance share units.

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 $6 million and $18 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of surety bonds, bank guarantees, insurance letters of credit, stand-by letters of credit as well as revenue and customs guarantees was $733 million and $729 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. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in many of these proceedings our liability is considered de minimis. We have received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and from similar state and foreign environmental agencies, that a number of sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by Xylem or for which we are responsible, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances where we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations.

Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site-by-site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. Our accrued liabilities for these environmental matters represent our best estimates related to the investigation and remediation of environmental media such as water, soil, soil vapor, air and structures, as well as related legal fees. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed quarterly and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for these environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis. We have estimated and accrued $4 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for environmental matters.

It is difficult to estimate the final costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of investigation or remediation and our share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of alternative remedial approaches, and changes in environmental standards and regulatory requirements. 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:

(in millions)	2024		2023

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

Segment Information

Our business has four reportable segments: Water Infrastructure, Applied Water, Measurement and Control Solutions and Water Solutions and Services. The Water Infrastructure segment focuses on the transportation and treatment of water, offering a range of products including water, wastewater and storm water pumps, controls and systems; treatment equipment: filtration and separation, disinfection, wastewater solutions; anodes and electro chlorination technologies for municipal and industrial applications. The Applied Water segment serves many of the primary uses of water and focuses on the residential, commercial and industrial markets. The Applied Water segment's major products include pumps, valves, heat exchangers, controls and dispensing equipment. The Measurement and Control Solutions segment focuses on developing advanced technology solutions that enable intelligent use and conservation of critical water and energy resources as well as analytical instrumentation used in the testing of water. The Measurement and Control Solutions segment's major products include smart metering, networked communications, measurement and control technologies, critical infrastructure technologies, software and services including cloud-based analytics, and remote monitoring and data management. The Water Solutions and Services segment provides tailored services and solutions, in collaboration with customers and backed by life‑cycle services, including on‑demand water, outsourced water, recycle / reuse, specialty dewatering and emergency response service alternatives to improve operational reliability, performance and environmental compliance. Key offerings within this segment also include equipment systems for industrial needs (influent water, boiler feed water, ultrahigh purity, process water, wastewater treatment, and recycle / reuse), full-scale outsourcing of operations and maintenance, and municipal services, including odor and corrosion control services, as well as leak detection, condition assessment and asset management and pressure monitoring solutions.

Additionally, we have Regional selling locations, which consist primarily of selling and marketing organizations and related support services, that offer products and services across our reportable segments. Corporate and other consists of corporate office expenses including compensation, benefits, occupancy, depreciation, and other administrative costs, as well as charges related to certain matters, such as environmental matters, that are managed at a corporate level and are not included in the business segments in evaluating performance or allocating resources.

The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" section of Note 1 in the 2023 Annual Report. The following table contains financial information for each reportable segment:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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, 2023 ("2023 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 2023 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.

The Company announced a change to its reportable segments effective January 1, 2024, and as a result, is now reporting the financial position and results of operations of its former Integrated Solutions and Services segment together with the dewatering business, previously within our Water Infrastructure segment, and the assessment services business, previously within our Measurement and Control Solutions segment, in a new segment that is referred to as Water Solutions and Services. The Company’s Water Infrastructure reportable segment no longer includes the results of the dewatering business, and the Company’s Measurement and Control Solutions reportable segment no longer includes the results of the assessment services business. The Company's Applied Water reportable segment remains unchanged. As a result of the change, the Company has recast prior period segment amounts to align with the new segment reporting. The recast financial information reflects depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation specifically identified to the segments that were previously reported

within Corporate and other and Regional selling locations as part of an overall allocation. These changes have no impact on the Company’s historical consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." This guidance requires disclosure information about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the guidance on our disclosures in future periods.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "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.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, "Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations." This guidance requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. The standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The ASU became effective January 1, 2023, and the rollforward requirement became effective January 1, 2024. Refer to Note 11, "Current Liabilities" for the disclosures related to our adoption of the standard.

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.80	$	0.45	$	1.43	$	0.98

(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.

[1] 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.

[2] 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.
