NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (the Company) Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 2, 2017, the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the second quarters and six months ended July 2, 2017 and July 3, 2016, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the second quarters and six months ended July 2, 2017 and July 3, 2016, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months  ended July 2, 2017 and July 3, 2016.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The accounting policies followed by the Company are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Reclassifications did not have a material impact on previously reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year ending on December 31.  Any quarterly data contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q generally reflect the results of operations for a 13-week period.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
