Global water solutions company Xylem Inc has reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results. The company’s fourth-quarter revenue of $2.4 billion was driven by strong execution. Fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share were up 20% driven by productivity and price.
Commenting on the results, Matthew Pine, Xylem’s CEO said:
“The team delivered an exceptionally strong fourth quarter, capping a year of solid execution and transformation across Xylem.
“We achieved record full-year revenue, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted EPS, supported by broad-based demand across our largest end markets. Healthy organic revenue and orders growth gave us solid momentum coming into 2026.
“Xylem’s transformation continues to strengthen the quality of our earnings and position us for sustainable, profitable growth. In 2026, we expect resilient underlying demand as we sharpen our focus on simplifying the product portfolio to deliver essential technologies that help customers address their biggest water challenges. We remain confident in both our 2026 outlook and our ability to execute against our long-term framework.”
Net income attributable to Xylem for the quarter was $335 million, or $1.37 per share. Net income margin decreased 50 basis points to 14.0 percent. The results are driven by strong operational performance and a reduction in the estimated loss on sale of businesses, partially offset by increased restructuring and realignment costs.
Adjusted net income attributable to Xylem was$348 million, or $1.42 per share, which excludes the loss on sale of businesses, purchase accounting intangible amortization, restructuring and realignment costs, and special charges.
Fourth-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin was 23.2 percent, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 220 basis points. Productivity savings and strong price realization drove the margin expansion, exceeding the impact of inflation, lower volumes, and tariffs.
The Board of Directors of Xylem has declared a first-quarter dividend of $0.43 per share, an increase of 8 percent. The dividend is payable on March 24, 2026, to shareholders of record as of February 24, 2026.
Xylem is forecasting full-year 2026 revenue of approximately $9.1 to $9.2 billion, up approximately 1 to 3 percent on a reported basis and up approximately 2 to 4 percent on an organic basis.
