ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On February 8, 2022, nVent Electric plc (the "Company") issued a press release announcing earnings results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021 and a conference call in connection therewith. A copy of the release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

This press release refers to certain non-GAAP financial measures (organic sales, segment income, return on sales, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow) and a reconciliation of those non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding financial measures contained in the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The 2021 and 2020 segment income, return on sales, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share eliminate, where applicable:

•Expense related to certain targeted restructuring activities.

•Expense related to certain acquisition and integration activities associated with our business acquisitions.

•Amortization of all intangible assets associated with our business acquisitions, including inventory step-up amortization associated with those acquisitions. The Company excludes these non-cash expenses because the Company believes it (i) enhances management’s and investors’ ability to analyze underlying business performance, (ii) facilitates comparisons of our financial results over multiple periods, and (iii) provides more relevant comparisons of the Company's results with the results of other companies as the amortization expense, inventory step-up amortization, and acquisition related expenses may fluctuate significantly from period to period based on the timing, size, nature, and number of acquisitions. Although the Company excludes amortization of these acquired intangible assets and inventory step-up from its non-GAAP results, the Company believe that it is important for investors to understand that revenue generated, in part, from such intangibles is included within revenue in determining adjusted results.

•Impairment expense related to intangible assets.

•Expense related to the early extinguishment of debt instruments.

•Pension and other postretirement mark-to-market (gain) loss. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses for pension and other post-retirement benefits as a mark-to-market adjustment. Net actuarial gains and losses occur when the actual experience differs from any of the various assumptions used to value the Company's pension and other post-retirement plans or when assumptions change. This accounting method also results in the potential for volatile and difficult to forecast mark-to-market adjustments. The Company believes that the exclusion of pension and other postretirement mark-to-market (gain) loss better reflects the ongoing costs of providing pension and postretirement benefits to its employees.

•Income tax effects of the above adjustments, which are calculated using the Company's estimated non-GAAP tax rate. This non-GAAP tax approach eliminates the effects of period specific items, which can vary in size and frequency and do not necessarily reflect our long-term operations. The non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in the Company's geographic earnings mix including due to acquisition activity or other changes in our strategy or business operations.

The Company uses the term "organic sales" to refer to GAAP net sales excluding 1) the impact of currency translation and 2) the impact of revenue from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to divested product lines not considered discontinued operations ("acquisition sales"). The portion of GAAP net sales attributable to currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in net sales (excluding acquisition sales) and (b) the period-to-period change in net sales (excluding acquisition sales) after applying prior period foreign exchange rates to the current year period. The Company uses the term "organic sales growth" to refer to the measure of comparing current period organic net sales with the corresponding period of the prior year.

Management utilizes these adjusted financial measures to assess the run-rate of its continuing operations against those of prior periods without the distortion of these factors that the Company does not consider components of our core operating performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures will be useful to investors as well to assess the continuing strength of the Company's underlying operations. In addition, adjusted diluted earnings per share is used as a criterion to measure and annual incentive compensation. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company uses free cash flow to assess its cash flow performance. The Company believes free cash flow is an important measure of liquidity because it provides the Company and its investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to pay dividends, make acquisitions, repay debt and repurchase shares. In addition, free cash flow is used as criterion to measure and pay annual incentive compensation. The Company's measure of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Fourth quarter sales grew 28% with broad-based growth across all segments and verticals. For the full year, we had record sales of $2.5 billion, demonstrating impressive growth and execution. We overcame supply chain and inflationary challenges to deliver ROS expansion for the year, and we continued to generate strong free cash flow," said Beth Wozniak, nVent's chief executive officer.

“We executed well on our strategy. We completed two acquisitions, Vynckier and CIS Global, launched 58 new products and continued to accelerate our digital transformation. We prioritized the safety and well-being of employees and focused on inclusion and diversity, making nVent a great place to work. I’m proud that we were part of an exclusive group named to Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index as well as the RippleMatch NextGen 100 list."

"With the electrification of everything driving demand for our products and solutions, nVent is well positioned to grow. While we expect external challenges to continue in 2022, I’m confident in our strategy and our team’s ability to execute. Our future is bright, and I’m excited about the opportunities ahead for nVent."

Fourth quarter sales of $669 million were up 28 percent relative to the fourth quarter 2020 and increased 24 percent organically, which excludes the impact from currency fluctuations and acquisitions. Fourth quarter 2021 earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) were $0.39, while on an adjusted basis, the company had EPS of $0.50. Full-year sales of $2.5 billion were up 23 percent relative to full-year 2020. Acquisitions contributed approximately $56 million in sales for the year.
