LONDON, United Kingdom — October 25, 2022 — Pentair plc (NYSE: PNR) today announced third quarter 2022 sales of $1.06 billion. Sales were up 9 percent compared to sales for the same period last year. Excluding currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures, core sales grew 4 percent in the third quarter. Third quarter 2022 earnings per diluted share from continuing operations (“EPS”) were $0.70 compared to $0.86 in the third quarter of 2021.

Segment income, adjusted net income, free cash flow and adjusted EPS are described in the attached schedules.

John L. Stauch, Pentair’s President and Chief Executive Officer commented: “We reported solid third quarter results with sales growing near double digits and strong segment income and adjusted EPS gains. We saw price outpace inflation once again resulting in strong margin expansion. We are proud of these results given the ongoing supply chain disruptions and the manufacturing inefficiencies that resulted. While we have begun to see some inventory correcting in our residential channels, our commercial and industrial businesses continue to do well. We closed on the acquisition of Manitowoc Ice in the quarter and the integration is off to a good start.”

In addition, the company introduces fourth quarter 2022 GAAP EPS guidance of approximately $0.68 and on an adjusted EPS basis of approximately $0.79. The company expects fourth quarter sales to be approximately flat on a reported basis compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

Mr. Stauch further added, “Given the acceleration of inventory correction in our residential channels, coupled with headwinds from foreign exchange and higher interest rates, we expect volumes to continue to moderate for the next few quarters. While we have not yet set our 2023 plan, we believe we are well positioned to grow next year given pricing carryover, accretion from Manitowoc Ice, reduced manufacturing inefficiencies that have been an ongoing issue in 2022, and our Transformation initiatives gaining momentum. We believe we have a solid foundation and we have an exciting future. Our mission and purpose remain important as we help the world sustainably move, improve, and enjoy water, life’s most essential resource.”
