Xylem Reports $8.6 Billion Revenue for Full Year 2024

Xylem Inc. reported notable growth in its fourth-quarter and full-year results for 2024, with fourth-quarter orders and revenue reaching $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion respectively, both up 7% compared to the previous year. The company also achieved earnings per share of $1.34, a 22% increase, and a total revenue of $8.6 billion for the year, marking a 16% rise. Additionally, the net income margin improved to 14.5%, and the board declared a dividend increase of 11% for the first quarter of 2025, demonstrating a commitment to returning value to shareholders. 

However, the results were impacted by several negative factors, including a non-recurring gain on the remeasurement of an equity interest, which contributed to the net income but may not be sustainable. The company faced challenges such as increased restructuring costs and a loss on the sale of businesses, which partially offset operational gains. Furthermore, while the adjusted EBITDA margin improved, the company acknowledged ongoing inflation pressures and strategic investments that could affect future profitability.

Xylem Reports $2.1 Billion Revenue and $0.89 EPS in Q3

Xylem Inc. reported a revenue of $2.1 billion for the third quarter of 2024, reflecting a 1% increase compared to the previous year. The earnings per share rose significantly by 41% to $0.89, and the adjusted earnings per share saw a 12% increase to $1.11. Additionally, orders grew by 8%, indicating strong demand across all segments. The company also noted that margin expansion exceeded expectations, attributed to productivity savings and the integration of Evoqua, which is progressing ahead of schedule, enhancing their operational performance.

On the downside, the company narrowed its full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance from $4.18 to $4.28 to a new range of $4.22 to $4.24, suggesting some caution moving forward. The report highlighted moderated organic revenue growth, primarily due to project timing, which may impact future performance. Furthermore, while net income increased to $217 million, the overall growth in revenue was modest, which could raise concerns about sustaining higher growth rates in the upcoming quarters.
