XYLEM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Background

Xylem Inc. (“Xylem” or the “Company”) is a leading equipment and service provider for water and wastewater applications with a broad portfolio of products and services addressing the full cycle of water, from collection, distribution and use to the return of water to the environment. Xylem operates in two segments, Water Infrastructure and Applied Water. The Water Infrastructure segment focuses on the transportation, treatment and testing of water, offering a range of products including water and wastewater pumps, treatment and testing equipment, and controls and systems. The Applied Water segment encompasses the uses of water and focuses on the residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural markets. The Applied Water segment’s major products include pumps, valves, heat exchangers, controls and dispensing equipment. Xylem Inc. was incorporated in Indiana on May 4, 2011.

The Spin-off was completed pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2011 (the “Distribution Agreement”), among ITT, Exelis Inc. (“Exelis”) and Xylem. After the Distribution Date, ITT did not beneficially own any shares of Xylem common stock and, following such date, financial results of Xylem have not been consolidated in ITT’s financial reporting. Xylem’s Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) was declared effective on October 6, 2011. Xylem’s common stock began “regular-way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange on November 1, 2011 under the symbol “XYL”.

Hereinafter, except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, “Xylem,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” refer to Xylem Inc. and its subsidiaries. References in the notes to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements to “ITT” or “parent” refer to ITT Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than Xylem Inc.).

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated and combined financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intracompany transactions between our businesses have been eliminated. On and prior to the Distribution Date, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows consisted of the water equipment and services businesses of ITT Corporation (“WaterCo”) and have been derived from ITT’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis through the Distribution Date, while our financial results for Xylem post Spin-off are prepared on a stand-alone basis. As such, our Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the periods ended September 30, 2012 consist of the consolidated results of Xylem on a stand-alone basis and for the periods ended September 30, 2011 consist entirely of the combined results of WaterCo on a carve-out basis.

For periods prior to the Spin-off, our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include expense allocations for (i) certain corporate functions historically provided by ITT, including, but not limited to, finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, ethics and compliance, and shared services, (ii) employee benefits and incentives, and (iii) share-based compensation. These expenses have been allocated to us on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount or other measures.

Both Xylem and ITT consider the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by us during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense we would have incurred as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented prior to the Distribution Date. Actual costs that may have been incurred if we had been a stand-

Table of Contents

alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure. Subsequent to the Spin-off, we have performed these functions using our own resources or purchased services, certain of which have been provided by ITT and Exelis under a transition services agreement, at a cost of approximately $1 million per quarter that is expected to extend for a period of 3 to 24 months from the Distribution Date in most circumstances.

The unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (“2011 Annual Report”) in preparing these unaudited financial statements, with the exception of accounting standard updates described in Note 2 adopted on January 1, 2012. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2011 Annual Report.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, postretirement obligations and assets, revenue recognition, income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances, goodwill impairment testing and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Additionally, our interim condensed consolidated and combined financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance.

Our quarterly financial periods end on the Saturday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter, except for the fourth quarter which ends on December 31. For ease of presentation, the quarterly financial statements included herein are described as ending on the last day of the calendar quarter.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") provided companies with the option to make an initial qualitative evaluation, based on events and circumstances, to determine the likelihood of an impairment of an indefinite-lived intangible asset. The results of this qualitative assessment determine whether it is necessary to perform the currently required quantitative comparison of the indefinite-lived intangible asset’s fair value to its carrying amount. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, a company would be required to perform the quantitative assessment. This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Recently Adopted Pronouncements

In September 2011, in conjunction with the assessment of the impairment of goodwill, the FASB provided companies with the option to make an initial qualitative evaluation, based on the entity’s events and circumstances, to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment. The results of this qualitative assessment determine whether it is necessary to perform the required two-step impairment test. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a company would be required to perform the two-step impairment test. On January 1, 2012, we adopted this guidance on a prospective basis. The adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance surrounding the presentation of comprehensive income, with an objective of increasing the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The guidance requires most entities to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive, statements

Table of Contents

of net income and other comprehensive income. We have adopted this guidance with retrospective application as of January 1, 2012, and have presented total comprehensive income in our Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Comprehensive Income.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance intended to achieve common fair value measurements and related disclosures between U.S. GAAP and international accounting standards. The amendments primarily clarify existing fair value guidance and are not intended to change the application of existing fair value measurement guidance. However, the amendments include certain instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. On January 1, 2012, we adopted this guidance. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized restructuring and asset impairment charges of $4 million. This charge primarily relates to restructuring related severance payments for manufacturing reductions in force initiatives within our Water Infrastructure segment. There were no restructuring charges recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized an asset impairment of $2 million related to a facility within our Applied Water segment.

Note 4. Separation Costs

The components of non-recurring separation costs incurred as a result of the Spin-off are presented below.



(in millions)	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Rebranding and marketing costs	$	2		$	3		$	6		$	4
Advisory fees	1			9			6			18
Information and technology costs	—			10			1			17
Employee retention and hiring costs	—			4			1			8
Lease termination and other real estate costs	—			10			—			10
Non-cash asset impairments (a)	—			8			—			8
Other	1			2			1			2
Total separation costs in operating income	4			46			15			67
Tax-related separation (benefit) cost (b)	—			(9		)	—			5
Income tax (benefit) expense	(1		)	(12		)	(4		)	(18		)
Total separation costs, net of tax	$	3		$	25		$	11		$	54

(a)

During the third quarter of 2011, we recorded an impairment charge of $8 million on one of our facilities in China within our Applied Water segment. Prior to the Spin-off, this was a shared facility among certain Xylem and ITT businesses and in connection with the separation, the removal of certain ITT operations triggered an impairment evaluation. The fair value of the applicable assets was calculated using the cost approach.


(b)	In the third quarter of 2011, we revised our estimate of certain tax-related separation costs to be incurred. This adjustment resulted in a $9 million net credit (income) for tax-related separation costs during the third quarter of 2011.

Note 5. Income Taxes

Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within periods presented. The comparison of our effective tax rate between periods is significantly impacted by the level and mix of earnings and losses by tax jurisdiction, foreign income tax rate differentials and amount of permanent book-to-tax differences.

The income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $28 million at an effective tax rate of 27.8%, compared to $5 million at an effective tax rate of 6.3% for the same period in 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to non-recurring favorable tax examination settlements in 2011. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $75 million at an effective tax rate of 25.2%, compared to $72 million at an effective tax rate of 24.0% for the same period in 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to mix of earnings by jurisdiction.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2012 was $7 million which, if ultimately recognized, will reduce our annual effective tax rate. We do not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months.

We classify interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of other non-operating income, net and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated and Combined Income Statements. As of September 30, 2012, we had less than $1 million of interest accrued for unrecognized tax benefits.

Note 6. Earnings Per Share

The following is a summary of the calculation of basic and diluted net earnings per share.



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011 (a)		2012		2011 (a)
Net income (in millions)	$	72	$	77	$	224	$	227
Shares (in thousands):
Weighted average common shares outstanding	185,650		184,570		185,386		184,570
Add: Participating securities (b)	281		—		340		—
Weighted average common shares outstanding — Basic	185,931		184,570		185,726		184,570
Plus incremental shares from assumed conversions: (c)
Dilutive effect of stock options	186		—		231		—
Dilutive effect of restricted stock	231		—		195		—
Weighted average common shares outstanding — Diluted	186,348		184,570		186,152		184,570
Basic earnings per share	$	0.39	$	0.42	$	1.20	$	1.23
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.38	$	0.42	$	1.20	$	1.23

Table of Contents


(a)	Basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods prior to the Spin-off reflect the number of distributed shares on the Distribution Date, or 184.6 million shares. At the time of the Spin-off, ITT stock options and restricted stock awards were converted to awards of Xylem, and therefore there were no dilutive securities outstanding for the period prior to Spin-off.


(b)	Restricted stock awards containing rights to non-forfeitable dividends which participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share.

(c)

Incremental shares from stock options and restricted stock are computed by the treasury stock method. The average shares listed below were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented or because they were excluded under the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method calculates dilution assuming the exercise of all in-the-money options and vesting of restricted stock awards, reduced by the repurchase of shares with the proceeds from the assumed exercises, unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding awards and the estimated tax benefit of the assumed exercises.



	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2012	2011	2012	2011
Stock options	4,332	—	4,382	—
Restricted shares	876	—	904	—

Total property, plant and equipment, net	$	464	$	463

Depreciation expense of $24 million and $68 million was recognized in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $25 million and $72 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Note 9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill by operating segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are as follows:



(in millions)	Water Infrastructure		Applied Water		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2011	$	1,054	$	556	$	1,610
Activity in 2012
Goodwill acquired	7		—		7
Foreign currency and other	2		2		4
Balance as of September 30, 2012	$	1,063	$	558	$	1,621

Based on the results of our annual impairment tests, we determined that no impairment of goodwill existed as of the measurement date in 2011. However, future goodwill impairment tests could result in a charge to earnings. We will continue to evaluate goodwill on an annual basis as of the beginning of our fourth quarter and whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate there may be a potential impairment.

Other Intangible Assets

Information regarding our other intangible assets is as follows:

Based on the results of our annual impairment tests, we determined that no impairment of the indefinite-lived intangibles existed as of the measurement date in 2011. However, future impairment tests could result in a charge to earnings. We will continue to evaluate the indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis as of the beginning of our fourth quarter and whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate there may be a potential impairment.

Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets of $8 million and $25 million was recognized in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $8 million and $23 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Note 10. Derivative Financial Instruments

We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an

Table of Contents

asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, including forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions and principally manage our exposures to these risks through management of our core business activities. Certain of our foreign operations expose us to fluctuations of foreign interest rates and exchange rates that may impact revenues, expenses, cash receipts and payments. We enter into derivative financial instruments to protect the value or fix the amount of certain cash flows in terms of the functional currency of the business unit with that exposure.

Cash Flow Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our functional currencies. We use foreign currency derivatives including currency forward agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the various exchange rates. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date.

Beginning in 2012, certain business units within our segments with exposure to foreign currency exchange risks have designated certain currency forward agreements as cash flow hedges of forecasted intercompany inventory purchases and sales. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of foreign exchange risk is recorded in other comprehensive income ("OCI") and is subsequently reclassified into either revenue or cost of revenue (hedge of sales classified into revenue and hedge of purchases classified into cost of revenue) in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in selling, general

and administrative expenses. Our policy is to de–designate cash flow hedges at the time forecasted transactions are recognized as assets or liabilities on a business unit’s balance sheet and report subsequent changes in fair value through selling, general and administrative expenses where the gain or loss due to movements in currency rates on the underlying asset or liability is revalued. If it becomes probable that the originally forecasted transaction will not occur, the gain or loss related to the hedge recorded within other comprehensive income is recognized into net income.

Listed in the table below are the outstanding foreign currency derivatives that were used to hedge foreign exchange risks as of September 30, 2012.

(a)

The fair value of our Senior Notes (as defined below) as of September 30, 2012 was determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, which are considered Level 1 inputs. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of our Senior Notes was determined using prices for the identical security obtained from an external pricing service, which are considered Level 2 inputs. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of our Senior Notes due 2016 was $643 million and $625 million, respectively, and the fair value of our Senior Notes due 2021 was $680 million and $642 million, respectively.


(b)	The unamortized discount is recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the Senior Notes (as defined below) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and is being amortized to interest expense in our Condensed Consolidated and Combined Income Statements over the expected remaining terms of the Senior Notes.

Senior Notes

On September 20, 2011, we issued 3.550% Senior Notes of $600 million aggregate principal amount due September 2016 (the “Senior Notes due 2016”) and 4.875% Senior Notes of $600 million aggregate principal amount due October 2021 (the “Senior Notes due 2021” and together with the Senior Notes due 2016, the “Senior Notes”).

The issuance resulted in gross proceeds of $1.2 billion, offset by $9 million in debt issuance costs which were capitalized and are included within other assets. The Senior Notes include covenants which restrict our ability, subject to exceptions, to incur debt secured by liens and engage in sale and lease-back transactions, as well as provide for customary events of default (subject, in certain cases, to receipt of notice of default and/or customary grace and cure periods), including but not limited to, (i) failure to pay interest for 30 days, (ii) failure to pay principal when due, (iii) failure to perform any other covenant for 90 days after receipt of notice from the trustee or from holders of 25% of the outstanding principal amount and (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. We may redeem the Senior Notes, as applicable, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole premium. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants. If a change of control of Xylem triggering event occurs, we will be required to make an offer to purchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

The Senior Notes contained a covenant requiring Xylem to register the Senior Notes under the Securities Act. On July 26, 2012, the Company completed its offers to exchange the Senior Notes for new registered notes, with terms identical in all material respects to the Senior Notes except the new notes are freely transferable and not subject to any covenant regarding registration. All of the Senior Notes were exchanged for new registered notes.

Interest on the Senior Notes due 2016 is payable on March 20 and September 20 of each year. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2021 is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

Four Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Facility

Effective October 31, 2011, Xylem and its subsidiaries entered into a Four Year Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The credit facility provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million of (i) a competitive advance borrowing option which will be provided on an uncommitted competitive advance basis through an auction mechanism (the “competitive loans”), (ii) revolving extensions of credit (the “revolving loans”) outstanding at any time and (iii) the issuance of letters of credits in a face amount not in excess of $100 million outstanding at any time.

At our election, the interest rate per annum applicable to the competitive advances will be based on either (i) a Eurodollar rate determined by reference to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin offered by the lender making such loans and accepted by us or (ii) a fixed percentage rate per annum specified by the lender making such loans. At our election, interest rate per annum applicable to the revolving loans will be based on either (i) a Eurodollar rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin or (ii) a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the prime rate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (b) the U.S. Federal Funds effective rate plus half of 1% or (c) the Eurodollar rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, in each case, plus an applicable margin.

In accordance with the terms, we may not exceed a maximum leverage ratio of 3.50 (based on a ratio of total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) throughout the term. The Credit Facility also contains limitations on, among other things, incurring debt, granting liens, and entering sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the Credit Facility contains other terms and conditions such as customary representations and warranties, additional covenants and customary events of default.

We contributed $27 million and $6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The contributions for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included $2 million to purchase an annuity in connection with the settlement of five international pension plans. Additional contributions ranging between approximately $10 million and $15 million are expected during the remainder of 2012.

For 2011, a significant component of these charges related to costs allocated to Xylem for ITT corporate employees as well as other ITT employees not solely dedicated to Xylem. These allocated costs are not necessarily indicative of awards and amounts that would have been granted if we were an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented.

The unamortized compensation expense related to our stock options and restricted shares was $14 million and $23 million, respectively, at September 30, 2012 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 and 2.0 years, respectively. The amount of cash received from the exercise of stock options was $22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We classify as a financing activity the cash flows attributable to excess tax benefits arising from stock option exercises and restricted stock lapses.

Restricted Stock Grants

The following is a summary of restricted stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

Stock Option Grants

The following is a summary of the changes in outstanding stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:



(in thousands, except for per share amounts)	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price /Share		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)
Outstanding at December 31, 2011	4,590		$	25.83	5.4
Granted	861		$	26.57	10.0
Exercised	(924	)	$	24.03	0.1
Forfeited	(327	)	$	27.85	6.7

Options exercisable at September 30, 2012	1,642		$	25.49	2.6

The aggregate intrinsic value of all outstanding and exercisable stock options as of September 30, 2012 was $5 million and $4 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised (which is the amount by which the stock price exceeded the exercise price of the options on the date of exercise) during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2 million.

Stock Option Fair Value

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the binomial lattice pricing model which incorporates multiple and variable assumptions over time, including assumptions such as employee exercise patterns, stock price volatility and changes in dividends. The following are weighted-average assumptions for our annual March 2012 grants (there were subsequent grants during 2012 which were not material).



Dividend yield	1.52%
Volatility	33.4%
Risk-free interest rate	1.42%
Expected term (in years)	7.0
Weighted-average fair value / share	$8.10

Expected volatility is calculated based on an analysis of historic and implied volatility measures for a set of peer companies. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination behavior within the valuation model. Employee groups and option characteristics are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term represents an estimate of the period of time options are expected to remain outstanding. The expected term provided above represents the weighted average of expected behavior for certain groups of employees who have historically exhibited different behavior. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of option grant.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies

General

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses. Some of these proceedings seek remedies relating to environmental matters, intellectual property matters, product liability and personal injury claims, employment and pension matters, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes, which are sometimes related to acquisitions or divestitures. Although we cannot predict the outcome of these and other proceedings with certainty, we believe that they will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On December 20, 2011, the Ad Hoc Committee of ITT Bondholders filed a complaint in New York State court alleging that ITT breached the early redemption provisions of certain bonds issued in 2009. In 2009, ITT issued $500 million in bonds maturing in 2019 at an interest rate of 6.125%. The documents governing the bonds

Table of Contents

contained certain provisions governing early redemptions. On September 20, 2011, ITT notified the holders of the debt that it intended to redeem the bonds on October 20, 2011 in accordance with the terms of the governing documents. On October 18, 2011, the redemption price was disclosed. As disclosed in our last quarterly report, this complaint was resolved on July 10, 2012 and the resolution did not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The costs associated with this matter were shared with ITT and Exelis in accordance with the Distribution Agreement.

While very few claims have been asserted against Xylem alleging injury caused by any of our products resulting from asbestos exposure, it is possible that additional claims could be filed in the future. We believe there are numerous legal defenses available for such claims and, should such a claim not be indemnifiable by ITT, we would defend ourselves vigorously. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, ITT will indemnify Xylem for asbestos product liability matters, including settlements, judgments, and legal defense costs associated with all pending and future claims that may arise from past sales of ITT’s legacy products. We believe ITT remains a substantial entity with sufficient financial resources to honor its obligations to us.

Although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claims, we do not expect that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, results of operations, or financial condition.

Indemnifications

As part of the Spin-off, ITT, Exelis and Xylem will indemnify each of the other parties with respect to such parties’ assumed or retained liabilities under the Distribution Agreement and breaches of the Distribution Agreement or related spin agreements. ITT’s indemnification obligations include asserted and unasserted asbestos and silica liability claims that relate to the presence or alleged presence of asbestos or silica in products manufactured, repaired or sold prior to the Distribution Date, subject to limited exceptions with respect to certain employee claims, or in the structure or material of any building or facility, subject to exceptions with respect to employee claims relating to Xylem buildings or facilities. The indemnification associated with pending and future asbestos claims does not expire. Xylem has not recorded a liability for material matters for which we will be indemnified by ITT or Exelis through the Distribution Agreement and we are not aware of any claims or other circumstances that would give rise to material payments from us under such indemnifications.

Environmental

In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. We are responsible, or are alleged to be responsible, for ongoing environmental investigation and remediation of sites in various countries. These sites are in various stages of investigation and/or remediation and in many of these proceedings our liability is considered de minimis. We have received notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and from similar state and foreign environmental agencies, that a number of sites formerly or currently owned and/or operated by Xylem or for which we are responsible under the Distribution Agreement, and other properties or water supplies that may be or have been impacted from those operations, contain disposed or recycled materials or wastes and require environmental investigation and/or remediation. These sites include instances where we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws and regulations.

Accruals for environmental matters are recorded on a site-by-site basis when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated, based on current law and existing technologies. Our accrued liabilities for these environmental matters represent the best estimates related to the investigation and remediation of environmental media such as water, soil, soil vapor, air and structures, as well as related legal fees. These estimates, and related accruals, are reviewed quarterly and updated for progress of investigation and remediation efforts and changes in facts and legal circumstances. Liabilities for these environmental expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis. We have estimated and accrued $12 million and $15 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, for environmental matters.

It is difficult to estimate the final costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors, including incomplete information regarding particular sites and other potentially responsible parties, uncertainty regarding the extent of investigation or remediation and our share, if any, of liability for such conditions, the selection of alternative remedial approaches, and changes in environmental standards and regulatory requirements. In our opinion, the total amount accrued is reasonable based on existing facts and circumstances.

Operating Leases

We lease certain offices, manufacturing buildings, machinery, computers and other equipment. Such leases expire at various dates through 2047 and may include renewal and payment escalation clauses. We often pay maintenance, insurance and tax expense related to leased assets. Subsequent to the issuance of our 2011 Annual Report, we identified that we had incorrectly aggregated data from certain of our foreign subsidiaries related to our annual disclosure of rent expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 and our future minimum rental payments. As a result, we have adjusted and disclosed certain corrected amounts herein. These adjustments did not impact the Consolidated and Combined Income Statements, Balance Sheet, Statements of Cash Flows or Statement of Stockholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income.

At December 31, 2011, we were obligated to make minimum rental payments under operating leases which are as follows. There have been no material changes to our minimum rental obligations subsequent to December 31, 2011.

Note 16. Related Party Transactions

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we sold inventory to other ITT businesses in the aggregate amount of $2 million and $9 million, respectively, which is included in revenue in our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. In addition, we recognized cost of sales from the inventory purchased from other ITT businesses of $2 million and $8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Prior to the Spin-off, the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements include expense allocations for certain functions provided by ITT, as well as other ITT employees not solely dedicated to Xylem, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, ethics and compliance, shared services, employee benefits and incentives, and share-based compensation. These expenses have been allocated to us on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, headcount or other measure. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we were allocated general corporate expenses incurred by ITT which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Income Statements for 2011 of $43 million, which included $23 million of separation costs, and $107 million, which included $41 million of separation costs, respectively.

The expense allocations have been determined on a basis that we consider to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by us during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense we would have incurred as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if we had been a standalone company would depend on a

number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.

Note 17. Segment Information

Our business is organized into two segments: Water Infrastructure and Applied Water. The Water Infrastructure segment, comprising our Water Solutions (f/k/a Water & Wastewater) and Analytics operating units, focuses on the transportation, treatment and testing of water, offering a range of products including water and wastewater pumps, treatment and testing equipment, and controls and systems. The Applied Water segment, comprising our Residential & Commercial Water and Flow Control operating units, encompasses the uses of water and focuses on the residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural markets offering a wide range of products including pumps, valves, heat exchangers, controls and dispensing equipment. Corporate and other consists of corporate office expenses including compensation, benefits, occupancy, depreciation, and other administrative costs, as well as charges related to certain matters, such as the Spin-off and environmental matters that are managed at a corporate level and are not included in the business segments in evaluating performance or allocating resources.

The accounting policies of each segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1 in the 2011 Annual Report). The following tables contain financial information for each reportable segment.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This report contains information that may constitute “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Generally, the words “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the separation of Xylem Inc. (the “Company”) from ITT Corporation, the terms and the effect of the separation, the nature and impact of the separation, capitalization of the Company, future strategic plans and other statements that describe the Company’s business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, intentions or goals, and any discussion of future operating or financial performance. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to orders, sales, operating margins and earnings per share growth, and statements expressing general views about future operating results — are forward-looking statements.

Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because they involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s historical experience and our present expectations or projections. For a more detailed discussion of these factors, see the information under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (“2011 Annual Report”) and with subsequent filings we make with the SEC.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements, including the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Report. Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, “Xylem,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” refer to Xylem Inc. and its subsidiaries. References in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements to “ITT” or “parent” refer to ITT Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (other than Xylem Inc.).

On October 31, 2011, ITT Corporation (“ITT”) completed the spin-off of Xylem, formerly ITT’s water equipment and services businesses (the “Spin-off”). Effective as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern time on October 31, 2011 (the “Distribution Date”), the common stock of Xylem was distributed, on a pro rata basis, to ITT’s shareholders of record as of the close of business on October 17, 2011. On and prior to October 31, 2011, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows consisted of the water equipment and services businesses of ITT Corporation (“WaterCo”) and have been derived from ITT’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis through the Distribution Date, while our financial results for Xylem following the Spin-off are prepared on a stand-alone basis. As such, our Condensed Consolidated and Combined Income and Comprehensive Income Statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and our Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 consist of the consolidated results of Xylem on a stand-alone basis and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 consist entirely of the combined results of WaterCo on a carve-out basis.

Overview

Xylem Inc. (“Xylem” or the “Company”) is a leading equipment and service provider for water and wastewater applications with a broad portfolio of products and services addressing the full cycle of water, from collection, distribution and use to the return of water to the environment. Xylem operates in two segments, Water Infrastructure and Applied Water. The Water Infrastructure segment focuses on the transportation, treatment and testing of water, offering a range of products including water and wastewater pumps, treatment and testing equipment, and controls and systems. The Applied Water segment serves many of the primary uses of water and focuses on the residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural markets. The segment’s major products include pumps, valves, heat exchangers, controls and dispensing equipment. Xylem Inc. was incorporated in Indiana on May 4, 2011.

Table of Contents

Our business focuses on providing technology-intensive equipment and services within the water industry supply chain. Our product and service offerings are organized into two segments: Water Infrastructure and Applied Water. Our segments are aligned with each of the sectors in the cycle of water, supply infrastructure and usage applications.

•

Water Infrastructure serves the supply infrastructure sector with pump systems that transport water from aquifers, lakes, rivers and seas; with filtration, ultraviolet and ozone systems that provide treatment, making the water fit to use; and pumping solutions that move the wastewater to treatment facilities where our mixers, biological treatment, disinfection, monitoring, and control systems provide the primary functions in the treatment process. We provide analytical instrumentation used to measure water quality, flow, and level in wastewater, surface water, and coastal environments.

•

Applied Water serves the usage applications sector with water pressure boosting systems for heating, ventilation and air conditioning and for fire protection systems to the residential and commercial building services markets. In addition, our pumps, heat exchangers, valves and controls provide cooling to power plants and manufacturing facilities, as well as circulation for food and beverage processing. We also provide boosting systems for farming irrigation, pumps for dairy operations, and rainwater reuse systems for small scale crop and turf irrigation.

We sell our equipment and services via direct and indirect channels that serve the needs of each customer type. In the Water Infrastructure segment for the year ended 2011, we provided over 70% direct sales with strong application expertise, with the remaining amount going through distribution partners. In the Applied Water segment, we provided over 85% of our sales in 2011 through long-standing relationships with the world’s leading distributors, with the remainder going direct to customers. The total market opportunity for this equipment and services portion of the water industry supply chain is estimated at $280 billion.

Executive Summary

Xylem reported revenue for the third quarter 2012 of $931 million, a decrease of 0.9% compared to $939 million during the comparable quarter in 2011. Revenue grew 3.2% on a constant currency basis, driven by the acquisition of the YSI Incorporated ("YSI") and MJK Automation ("MJK") businesses within our Water Infrastructure segment combined with strong public utility and agriculture performance. Operating income for the third quarter of 2012 was $111 million, reflecting an increase of $32 million or 40.5% compared to $79 million in the third quarter of 2011 primarily due to reduced separation costs. Operating income in 2012 also included measures we have taken to reduce operating costs, including $5 million of restructuring and realignment costs. Additionally, on October 26, 2012 we acquired Heartland Pump Rental & Sales, Inc., a dewatering pump sale and rental company for approximately $29 million.

Additional financial highlights for the three months ended September 30, 2012 include the following:


•	Orders of $882 million


•	Net income of $72 million, or $0.38 per diluted share ($0.44 on an adjusted basis)


•	Free cash flow of $171 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012

2012 Outlook

The drier weather conditions in the United States, combined with the current global economic environment, particularly in Europe, continued to present difficult market conditions during the third quarter of 2012. Generally, these economic conditions are expected to continue for the remainder of 2012, as the instability in the financial markets continues. As a result, we began restructuring and realignment actions in the second half of 2012, primarily in Europe, to improve operational efficiencies. We expect to incur approximately $15 million of restructuring and realignment costs during the remainder of 2012.

Additionally, we currently generate nearly two-thirds of our revenue outside the U.S., which is impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the Euro, Swedish Krona, British Pound, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Polish Zloty, and Hungarian Forint. Upon consolidation, as exchange rates vary, our revenue and other

operating results may differ from expectations. In this uncertain economy, significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may continue.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, gross margin, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share, orders growth, working capital, free cash flow and backlog, among others. In addition, we consider certain measures to be useful to management and investors evaluating our operating performance for the periods presented, and to provide a tool for evaluating our ongoing operations, liquidity and management of assets. This information can assist investors in assessing our financial performance and measures our ability to generate capital for deployment among competing strategic alternatives and initiatives, including, but not limited to, dividends and acquisitions, share repurchases and debt repayment. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share (basic and diluted) or net cash from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators:

•

“organic revenue” and “organic orders” defined as revenue and orders, respectively, excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, intercompany transactions and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures. Divestitures include sales of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations assumes no change in exchange rates from the prior period.


•	“constant currency” defined as financial results adjusted for currency translation impacts by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.


•	“adjusted net income” and “adjusted earnings per share” defined as net income and earnings per share, respectively, adjusted to exclude non-recurring separation costs from the Spin-off, restructuring and realignment costs and tax-related special items. A reconciliation of adjusted net income is provided below.

“free cash flow” defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures as well as adjustments for other significant items that impact current results that management believes are not related to our ongoing operations and performance. Our definition of free cash flow does not consider certain non-discretionary cash payments, such as debt. The following table provides a reconciliation of free cash flow.

Revenue

Revenue generated during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $931 million and $2,822 million, respectively, reflecting a decrease of $8 million or 0.9% and an increase of $22 million or 0.8% as compared to the same respective prior year periods. On a constant currency basis, revenue grew 3.2% and 4.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The following table illustrates the impact from organic growth, recent acquisitions, and fluctuations in foreign currency, in relation to revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Water Infrastructure

Water Infrastructure revenue increased $11 million, or 1.9% for the third quarter of 2012 (6.7% growth at constant currency) and $51 million, or 2.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (7.3% growth at constant currency) compared to the respective 2011 periods. The growth on a constant currency basis was driven by organic revenue growth and benefits from acquisitions.

Organic revenue growth of $18 million or 3.1% during the quarter was primarily a result of strong public utility transport and treatment application performance in emerging markets, North America and Europe. The growth was partially offset by the timing of projects and a decline in dewatering applications, primarily due to drier weather conditions as well as mining and construction activities in the United States. Organic revenue growth of $39 million or 2.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was driven by the same conditions that contributed to the growth for the quarter.

Revenue from the acquisitions of YSI and MJK in September 2011 and July 2012, respectively, contributed an incremental $21 million and $87 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Applied Water

Applied Water revenue decreased $18 million, or 4.9% for the third quarter of 2012 (1.6% decrease at constant currency) and decreased $30 million, or 2.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (flat growth at constant currency) compared to the respective 2011 periods.

Organic revenue decreased $8 million, or 2.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as declines in the commercial and residential building service markets, primarily in the United States continue to inhibit growth in this segment particularly as compared with the strong growth gained in the prior year. These declines were partially offset by strength in the agriculture markets driven by warm, drier weather specifically in North America. Strength in industrial water applications also partially mitigated the declines in the commercial and residential businesses. Organic revenue decreased $3 million, or 0.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior year driven primarily by a weaker residential market, coupled with the overall softness from Europe due to the tough economic conditions.

Orders / Backlog

Orders received during the third quarter of 2012 of $882 million decreased by $84 million, or 8.7% over the third quarter of the prior year (4.7% decrease at constant currency), including a benefit of $21 million from acquisitions. Orders received during the nine months of 2012 of $2,856 million decreased by $86 million from the respective prior year period, or 2.9% (0.7% growth at constant currency), including a benefit of $88 million from acquisitions. Organic order growth decreased 6.8% for the third quarter and decreased 2.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The Water Infrastructure segment order growth decreased $57 million, or 9.2% to $564 million (4.5% decrease at constant currency) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the respective prior year quarter, including $21 million from acquisitions. Organic order volume decreased 7.9% principally due to declines and delays in large public utility capital expenditure orders, reduced dewatering volumes primarily due to drier weather conditions as well as mining and construction activities in the United States and overall declines in the European market from continued economic uncertainty. Orders received during the first nine months of 2012 decreased $46 million, or 2.5% to $1,819 million (1.9% growth at constant currency) as compared to the respective prior year period, including $88 million from acquisitions. The decrease in the year-to-date organic orders of 2.8% is attributable to the continued drier weather conditions for the industrial dewatering market in the United States and unstable global economic environment partially offset by flood mitigation in Australia during the first quarter of the year.

Applied Water orders declined $24 million and $36 million, or 6.7% (3.4% decrease at constant currency) and 3.2% (0.5% decrease at constant currency) for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2012, respectively. Organic order volume declined for both the three and nine month periods reflecting the similar market dynamics impacting revenue.

Delivery schedules vary from customer to customer based upon their requirements. Typically, large projects require longer lead production cycles and delays can occur from time to time. Total backlog was $690 million at September 30, 2012, a decrease of $64 million or 8.5% as compared to $754 million at September 30, 2011 and an increase of $39 million or 6.0% as compared to $651 million at December 31, 2011. We anticipate that approximately 70% of the backlog at September 30, 2012 will be recognized as revenue in the remainder of 2012.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased to 40.2% for the quarter ended and 39.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 38.9% and 38.6%, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2011. The increase continues to be primarily attributable to benefits from price realization initiatives, productivity gains, favorable material costs, and higher margins as a result of the YSI and MJK acquisitions. These benefits were offset, in part, by higher labor costs, product mix and general inflation impacts.

Operating Expenses excluding Separation Costs

The following table presents operating expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Expense to revenue	27.8		%	25.6		%	220	bp	27.1		%	25.6		%	150	bp

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A increased by $16 million to $231 million or 24.8% of revenue in the third quarter of 2012, as compared to $215 million or 22.9% of revenue in the third quarter of 2011; and increased by $39 million to $682 million or 24.2% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $643 million or 23.0% of revenue in 2011. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to additional expenses incurred as a standalone company, which were partially offset by cost saving initiatives.

Research and Development Expenses

R&D spending increased $1 million to $24 million or 2.6% of revenue in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to $23 million or 2.4% of revenue in the comparable period of 2011; and increased by $7 million to $80 million or 2.8% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $73 million, or 2.6% of revenue in 2011. The increases to R&D are reflective of incremental expenses from the YSI and MJK acquisitions, as well as costs associated with the launching of new products.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Costs

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized restructuring and asset impairment charges of $4 million. These charges primarily relate to restructuring related severance payments for manufacturing force reduction initiatives within our Water Infrastructure segment. There were no restructuring charges recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. We estimate annual future net savings beginning in 2013 from our year-to-date 2012 restructuring charges will be approximately $3 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized an asset impairment of $2 million related to a facility within our Applied Water segment.

Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we incurred $1 million of realignment cost which was recognized within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Income Statements. These realignment costs relate to improving operational efficiencies primarily in our European businesses.

(a)


(b)	In the third quarter of 2011, we revised our estimate of certain tax-related separation costs to be incurred. This adjustment resulted in a $9 million net credit (income) for tax-related separation costs during the third quarter of 2011.

Our current estimate of the pre-tax impact of the activities associated with the Spin-off is approximately $5 million for the remainder of 2012.

Operating Income

We generated operating income of $111 million during the third quarter of 2012, a $32 million increase compared to $79 million in the third quarter of 2011, and $339 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $43 million compared to $296 million in 2011. These results include non-recurring separation costs of $4 million and $15 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $46 million and $67 million for the same comparable prior year periods. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 also include increased expenses incurred as a standalone company. The following table illustrates operating income results for our business segments.

Water Infrastructure

Operating income for our Water Infrastructure segment decreased $2 million or 2.3% ($6 million or 6.3% excluding separation, restructuring and realignment costs) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared with the prior year, as the unfavorable mix driven by lower dewatering revenues, higher sales within emerging markets and headwinds from foreign exchange impacts were mostly offset by the measures taken by the company to reduce operating costs. Operating income increased for the segment by $8 million or 3.3% ($5 million or 2.0% excluding separation, restructuring and realignment costs) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with the prior year, as incremental operating income from the YSI and MJK acquisitions of $20 million and strength in the emerging market public utility and industrial sectors were partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange impacts and increased spending on research and development as well as unfavorable impacts of inflation on labor.

Applied Water

Operating income for our Applied Water segment increased $6 million or 16.2% (decreased $2 million or 4.3% excluding separation costs) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared with the prior year due to a decline in revenues and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts more than offset by the reduction in separation costs, the absence of a prior year facility impairment charge, mitigating operating cost reductions put in place by the company and lower commodity costs. Operating income increased $2 million or 1.5% (decreased $5 million or 3.5% excluding separation costs) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the prior year as a result of the decrease in revenues which were more than offset by the reduction in separation costs, operating cost reductions, a reduction of a contract loss accrual, and the absence of a prior year facility impairment charge.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $14 million and $41 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, primarily related to the interest from the issuance of $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes issued in September 2011. Refer to Note 12, “Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt,” for further details.

Income Tax Expense

On September 20, 2012, the Swedish government submitted its budget proposal, which includes tax legislation for 2013 that if enacted, could adversely impact the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company is currently assessing potential opportunities to mitigate the potential impact.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

Operating Activities

During the first nine months of 2012, net cash provided by operating activities declined by $22 million as compared to the first nine months of 2011. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by interest payments on debt of $38 million in 2012 as well as higher tax payments of $39 million, partially offset by lower separation cash payments and an increase in receivable collections.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities was $89 million for the first nine months of 2012 as compared to $377 million in 2011 due almost entirely to reduced cash used for acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $41 million for the first nine months of 2012 as compared to $182 million of cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2011. Cash financing during the first nine months of 2012 was driven by dividend payments of $56 million, partially offset by $22 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options. For 2011, net proceeds from the issuance of $1.2 billion in Senior Notes funded a net transfer of $1

Table of Contents

billion to our former parent, ITT, that included the repayment of funds used in the acquisition of YSI. In general, the components of net transfers include: (i) cash transfers from the Company to its former parent, (ii) cash investments from our former parent used to fund operations, capital expenditures and acquisitions, (iii) charges (benefits) for income taxes, and (iv) allocations of the former parent company’s corporate expenses described in this quarterly report.

Funding and Liquidity Strategy

Prior to the Spin-off, the majority of our operations participated in U.S. and international cash management and funding arrangements managed by ITT where cash was swept from our balance sheet daily, and cash to meet our operating and investing needs was provided as needed from ITT.

As a result of the separation, our capital structure and sources of liquidity changed significantly. We no longer participate in cash management and funding arrangements with ITT. Instead, our ability to fund our capital needs depends on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations, and access to the bank and capital markets.

Historically, we have generated operating cash flow sufficient to fund our primary cash needs centered on operating activities, working capital, capital expenditures, and strategic investments. If our cash flows from operations are less than we expect, we may need to incur debt or issue equity. From time to time, we may need to access the long-term and short-term capital markets to obtain financing. Our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future will be impacted by many factors, including: (i) our credit ratings or absence of a credit rating, (ii) the liquidity of the overall capital markets, and (iii) the current state of the economy. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to the capital markets on terms acceptable to us. We cannot assure that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or that such financing will be available at all.

We anticipate that our present sources of funds, including funds from operations and additional borrowings, will provide us with sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our liquidity and capital needs in both the United States and outside of the United States over the next twelve months.

Senior Notes

Interest on the Senior Notes due 2016 is payable on March 20 and September 20 of each year. Interest on the Senior Notes due 2021 is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

Credit Facility

Table of Contents

advance borrowing option which will be provided on an uncommitted competitive advance basis through an auction mechanism (the “competitive loans”), (ii) revolving extensions of credit (the “revolving loans”) outstanding at any time and (iii) the issuance of letters of credits in a face amount not in excess of $100 million outstanding at any time. As of September 30, 2012, this credit facility is undrawn.

Credit Ratings

Our credit ratings are updated annually. The rating agencies have completed their 2012 review and our ratings remain unchanged and are as follows:



	Short-Term	Long-Term
Rating Agency	Ratings	Ratings

Standard & Poor’s	A-2	BBB
Moody’s Investors Service	P-2	Baa2
Fitch Ratings	F-2	BBB

Non-U.S. Operations

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we generated approximately 62% and 64%, respectively, of our revenue from non-U.S. operations. As we continue to grow our operations in the emerging markets and elsewhere outside of the United States, we expect to continue to generate significant revenue from non-U.S. operations and we expect our cash will be predominately held by our foreign subsidiaries. We expect to manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. We may transfer cash from certain international subsidiaries to the U.S. and other international subsidiaries when it is cost effective to do so. Our intent is to indefinitely reinvest all but $100 million of these funds outside of the United States. However, we continually review our domestic and foreign cash profile, expected future cash generation and investment opportunities which support our current designation of these funds as being indefinitely reinvested and reassess whether there is a demonstrated need to repatriate funds held internationally to support our U.S. operations. If, as a result of our review, it is determined that all or a portion of the funds may be needed for our operations in the United States, we would be required to accrue U.S. taxes related to future tax payments associated with the repatriation of these funds. As of September 30, 2012, our foreign subsidiaries were holding $308 million in cash or marketable securities.

Contractual Obligations

In our 2011 Annual Report, we presented a table that summarized our contractual commitments as of December 31, 2011, including operating lease obligations.

Table of Contents

Subsequent to the issuance of our annual financial statements, we identified that we had incorrectly aggregated data from certain of our foreign subsidiaries related to our future minimum rental payments. As a result, we have adjusted certain amounts below to reflect the corrected future minimum rental payments.

The following table summarizes our operating lease obligations as of December 31, 2011. There have been no material changes to our minimum rental obligations subsequent to December 31, 2011.



(in millions)	2012		2013-2014		2015-2016		Thereafter		Total
Operating lease obligations	$	54	$	71	$	39	$	36	$	200

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and capital resources are based on our condensed consolidated and combined financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated and combined financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2011 Annual Report describes the critical accounting estimates used in preparation of the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management’s estimates. There have been no significant changes in the information concerning our critical accounting estimates as stated in our 2011 Annual Report.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements," in the Notes to the condensed combined financial statements for a complete discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. There were no new pronouncements that we expect to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in future periods.



ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material change in the information concerning market risk as stated in our 2011 Annual Report.



ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
