CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Transcript contains statements that we believe to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limitation, any statements preceded or followed by or that include the words “targets,” “plans,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “likely,” “may,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “should,” “would,” “positioned,” “strategy,” “future” or words, phrases or terms of similar substance or the negative thereof, are forward-looking statements. All projections in the Transcript are also forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include the ability to satisfy the necessary conditions to consummate the planned separation of our Electrical business and the Water business of Pentair into two independent, publicly-traded companies (the “Separation”) on a timely basis or at all; the ability to successfully separate our business and realize the anticipated benefits from the Separation; adverse effects on our business operations or financial results as a result of the announcement or consummation of the Separation; unanticipated transaction expenses, such as litigation or legal settlement expenses; changes in tax laws; the impact of the Separation on our employees, customers and suppliers; overall global economic and business conditions impacting our businesses; the ability of our business to operate independently following the Separation; the ability to achieve the benefits of our restructuring plans; the ability to successfully identify, finance, complete and integrate acquisitions; competition and pricing pressures in the markets we serve; the strength of housing and related markets; volatility in currency exchange rates and commodity prices; inability to generate savings from excellence in operations initiatives consisting of lean enterprise, supply management and cash flow practices; increased risks associated with operating foreign businesses; the ability to deliver backlog and win future project work; failure of markets to accept new product introductions and enhancements; the impact of changes in laws and regulations, including those that limit U.S. tax benefits; the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings; and the ability to achieve our long-term strategic operating goals. Additional information concerning these and other factors is contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including nVent’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the Transcript. nVent assumes no obligation, and disclaims any obligation, to update the information contained in the Transcript.
