ITEM 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On October 26, 2021, Pentair plc (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its earnings for the third quarter 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-generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) financial measures (core sales, segment income, return on sales, adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations 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 GAAP.
The 2021 segment income, return on sales, adjusted net income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (“EPS”) include equity income (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries and eliminate intangible amortization, costs of certain restructuring, transformation, and other activities, novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) related costs and expenses, deal-related costs and expenses, gain on sale of businesses, certain legal accrual adjustments, other income and certain tax items. The 2020 segment income, return on sales, adjusted net income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted EPS include equity income (loss) of unconsolidated subsidiaries and eliminate intangible amortization, certain targeted restructuring and other activities, COVID-19 related costs and expenses, deal-related costs and expenses, loss on sale of businesses, pension and other post-retirement mark-to-market loss, other income and certain tax items.
We use the term “core sales” to refer to GAAP net sales from continuing operations 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 current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. We use the term “core sales growth” to refer to the measure of comparing current period core 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. 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 EPS is used as a criterion to measure and pay long-term incentive compensation and segment income is used as a criterion to measure and pay 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, repurchase shares and repay debt. In addition, free cash flow is used as a 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.

John L. Stauch, Pentair’s President and Chief Executive Officer commented: “I would like to thank our Pentair teams for once again helping us meet our commitments in the face of unprecedented material shortages and inflation. Pentair delivered another quarter of strong double digit sales and EPS growth reflecting the demand across our entire portfolio. Our backlog remains at a record level, which gives us confidence in our ability to continue our strong momentum. We have made great strides in increasing our capacity throughout this period of robust demand, however, we expect material shortages and logistical constraints to remain a challenge in the near term.”

“We remain focused on driving our strategic growth initiatives and we have completed two acquisitions this year that accelerate our Pool and Water Treatment businesses. We continue to believe that we are in attractive spaces and that the strength of our portfolio, along with strong cash flow and our healthy balance sheet, enables us to continue investing in our core business, pursue strategic acquisitions, drive transformation, deliver for customers, and create value for our shareholders.”

Outlook
The company updates its estimated 2021 GAAP EPS from continuing operations to approximately $3.19 to $3.25 and on an adjusted EPS basis to approximately $3.34 to $3.40. The company updates full year 2021 sales guidance to be up approximately 22 to 23 percent on a reported basis. The company expects full year free cash flow of greater than 100 percent of net income.
In addition, the company introduces fourth quarter 2021 GAAP EPS from continuing operations guidance of $0.77 to $0.83 and on an adjusted EPS basis of $0.81 to $0.87. The company expects fourth quarter sales to be up approximately 15 to 19 percent on a reported basis compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
