FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Xylem Inc. reports fourth quarter and full-year 2011 results

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., February 28, 2012 – Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL) today reported fourth quarter revenue of $1.0 billion, up 7 percent from the fourth quarter 2010, and net income of $52 million or $0.28 per share. Xylem, a leading global water technology company focused on solving the world’s most challenging water issues, was spun off from ITT Corporation on October 31, 2011. Excluding the impact of one-time separation costs and other special items, adjusted net income was $74 million or $0.40 per share, up 2 cents or 5 percent from the normalized earnings in the fourth quarter 2010.

“We drove solid business performance in 2011. We delivered revenue and earnings growth that reflected the strength of our core water and wastewater portfolio, as well as increased activity in the emerging markets, and solid returns from investments in our analytical instrumentation and dewatering businesses,” said Gretchen McClain, president and chief executive officer of Xylem. “All of this was accomplished as we worked through the successful launch of our new company. It is a testament to the dedication of our 12,500 employees who focus on solving our customers’ water challenges.”

For the fourth quarter, Xylem achieved adjusted operating margin of 12.0 percent, including incremental stand-alone costs of $5 million, which reduced margin by 50 basis points. Operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2010 was 11.9 percent.

For the full year 2011, Xylem revenue was $3.8 billion, up 19 percent over 2010. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and positive foreign currency translation, full-year organic revenue growth was 7 percent. Adjusted operating margin was 12.7 percent, up 60 basis points compared to 2010. The $5 million of incremental stand-alone cost incurred in the fourth quarter reduced full-year operating margin by 10 basis points. Full-year reported net income was $279 million, or

$1.50 per share. Adjusted net income, excluding the impact of the spinoff and other special items, was $358 million or $1.93 per share, up 45 cents or 30 percent from the normalized earnings in 2010. Strong performance from acquired businesses and working capital improvements helped generate $388 million of free cash flow during the year, which excludes $65 million of cash paid for spinoff-related costs. This represents a 111 percent conversion of adjusted net income.

Operating margins are anticipated to be in the range of 12.7 to 13.3 percent, excluding spinoff-related costs, but including incremental stand-alone costs of $25 to $30 million as Xylem completes its first full year as an independent company.

points. Full-year 2012 adjusted net income is forecast to be $334 million to $362 million, for adjusted earnings per share of $1.80 to $1.95 for the full year 2012, which reflects expected growth of 8 to 17 percent over normalized 2011. Reported net income, which includes one-time separation costs, is anticipated to range from $319 million to $350 million, or $1.72 to $1.89.

“We’ve begun 2012 in a strong competitive and financial position,” McClain said. “We remain mindful of the pockets of weak economic activity in Europe, and less rapid growth in some of the emerging markets. With our applications expertise, customer focus, market-leading brands, large installed base and superior distribution in more than 150 countries, our portfolio is fundamentally well-positioned to continue growing at a rate faster than the global market. Further, we will continue investing in attractive opportunities, deploying resources to continue growing our core businesses through new product development and innovative applications, while maintaining our ability to make attractive acquisitions.”

Xylem Inc. Non-GAAP Measures

Management views key performance indicators including revenue, segment operating income and margins, orders growth, 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 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. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenues, operating income, net income or net cash from continuing 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 portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation or insignificant portions of our business that we did not classify as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency fluctuations assumes no change in exchange rates from the prior period.

“EBITDA” defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization expense, and share-based compensation. “Adjusted EBITDA” reflects the adjustment to EBITDA to exclude for one-time separation costs associated with the Xylem spin-off from ITT Corporation.

“Operating Income * ” and “Adjusted EPS” defined as operating income and earnings per share, adjusted to exclude one-time separation costs associated with the Xylem spin-off from ITT Corporation and tax-related special items.

“Normalized EPS” defined as earnings per share, adjusted to exclude one-time separation costs associated with the Xylem spin-off from ITT Corporation and tax-related special items, as well to reflect the incremental current period amount of interest expense and stand alone costs in the prior comparable period.

“Free Cash Flow” defined as net cash from operating activities, as reported in the Statement of Cash Flow, less capital expenditures and other significant items that impact current results which management believes are not related to our ongoing operations and performance. Our definition of free cash flows does not consider non-discretionary cash payments, such as debt.
