Our balanced approach across our water portfolio continues to validate the effectiveness of our strategy. We have made substantial progress on 80/20 with the completion of training on a majority of our total revenue. As a result, we are now implementing actions to drive more focused and profitable growth. Our disciplined and balanced capital allocation strategy included strengthening our balance sheet, continuing our share repurchase program, and paying a dividend. We are proud of our dividend aristocrat status with 48 consecutive years of increased dividends. I want to thank our employees for their unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional value to our customers and shareholders. We also want to express our heartfelt sympathies to those impacted by the recent hurricanes.”

OUTLOOK

Mr. Stauch concluded, “We are introducing fourth quarter guidance and increasing our full year adjusted earnings guidance driven by strong execution. While we continue to monitor the macroeconomic landscape, we remain confident in our Transformation initiatives and 80/20 and expect them to continue to drive strategic decisions and operational efficiencies across our balanced water portfolio. With a strong balance sheet and significant free cash flow generation, we remain focused on investing in the long-term growth of Pentair and confident in our resilient strategy and capital allocation priorities to drive long-term value creation. As a leader in helping the world sustainably move, improve and enjoy water, life’s most essential resource, we believe we are well positioned to capture opportunities from favorable secular trends such as water availability, increased awareness of water challenges, aging commercial, public and municipal infrastructure, outdoor healthy living and favorable housing migration.”
