As previously announced, upon the Merger closing and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company increased the size of its Board to eleven members, and two directors designated by Elkay were appointed to the board. Zurn senior management immediately prior to the consummation of the Elkay Transaction remained executive officers of the Company immediately after the Elkay Transaction. The Company's management determined that the Company is the accounting acquirer in the Elkay Transaction based on the facts and circumstances noted within this section and other relevant factors. As such, the Company applied the acquisition method of accounting to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Elkay business, which have been measured at estimated fair value as of the date of the business combination.
Elkay’s assets and liabilities were measured at estimated fair values at July 1, 2022, primarily using Level 3 inputs. Estimates of fair value represent management’s best estimate of assumptions about future events and uncertainties, including significant judgments related to future cash flows, discount rates, competitive trends, margin and revenue growth assumptions including royalty rates and customer attrition rates and others. Inputs used were generally obtained from historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and growth rates expected as of the Merger date. See Note 14, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information. Due to the timing of the business combination and the nature of the net assets acquired, at September 30, 2022, the valuation process to determine the fair values is not complete and further adjustments are expected. The Company has estimated the preliminary fair value of net assets acquired based on information currently available and will continue to adjust those estimates as additional information becomes available. As the Company finalizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional purchase price allocation adjustments will be recorded during the measurement period, but no later than one year from the date of the Merger. The Company will reflect measurement period adjustments in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

4.5. Revenue Recognition
    A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in ASCAccounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. For the majority of the Company's product sales, revenue is recognized at a point-in-time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the product is shipped from the Company's manufacturing facility to the customer.

Table of Contents
When contracts include multiple products to be delivered to the customer, generally each product is separately priced and is determined to be distinct within the context of the contract. Other than a standard assurance-type warranty that the product will conform to agreed-upon specifications, there are generally no other significant post-shipment obligations. The expected costs associated with standard warranties continues to be recognized as an expense when the products are sold.
When the contract provides the customer the right to return eligible products or when the customer is part of a sales rebate program, the Company reduces revenue at the point of sale using current facts and historical experience by using an estimate for expected product returns and rebates associated with the transaction. The Company adjusts these estimates at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration that is expected to be received changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Accordingly, an increase or decrease to revenue is recognized at that time.
Sales and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control of products has transferred to the customer as a component of cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company classifies shipping and handling fees billed to customers as net sales and the corresponding costs are classified as Costcost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Contract Balances
For substantially all of the Company's Process & Motion Control and Water Management product sales, the customer is billed 100% of the contract value when the product ships and payment is generally due 30 days from shipment. Certain contracts include longer payment periods; however, the Company has elected to utilize the practical expedient in which the Company will only recognize a financing component to the sale if payment is due more than one year from the date of shipment.

Table of Contents
The Company receives payment from customers based on the contractual billing schedule and specific performance requirements established in the contract. Billings are recorded as accounts receivable when an unconditional right to the contractual consideration exists. Contract assets arise when the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration, or before the customer’s payment is due. A contract liability exists when the Company has received consideration or the amount is due from the customer in advance of revenue recognition. Contract liabilities and contract assets are recognized in Other current liabilitiesas of September 30, 2022 and Receivables, net, respectively, in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table presents changes in the Company’s contract assets and liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (in millions):

Backlog
    The Company has ahad backlog of $470.8$65.8 million as of September 30, 2021,2022, which represents the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received in satisfying the remaining backlog under open contracts. The Company has elected to use the optional exemption provided by ASC 606-10-50-14A for variable consideration, and has not included estimated rebates in the amount of unsatisfied performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize approximately 69%94% of the unsatisfied performance obligations as revenuebacklog in the remaining three months of the year ending December 31, 2021,2022, and the remaining approximately 31%6% in 20222023 and beyond.
Timing of Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time
The Company determined that the customer is able to control the product when it is delivered to them; thus, depending on the shipping terms, control will transfer at different points between the Company's manufacturing facility or warehouse and the customer’s location. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.
Variable Consideration
The Company provides volume-based rebates and the right to return product to certain customers, which are accrued for based on current facts and historical experience. Rebates are paid either on an annual or quarterly basis. There are no other significant variable consideration elements included in the Company's contracts with customers.

Contract Costs
The Company has elected to expense contract costs as incurred if the amortization period is expected to be one year or less. If the amortization period of these costs is expected to be greater than one year, the costs would be subject to capitalization. As of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the contract assets capitalized, as well as amortization recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, are not significant and there have been no impairment losses were recognized.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company assesses the collectability of customer receivables based on the credit worthiness of a customer as determined by credit checks and analysis, as well as the customer’s payment history. In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company also considers various factors including the aging of customer accounts and historical write-offs. In addition, the Company monitors other risk factors, including forward-looking information when establishing adequate allowances for doubtful accounts, which reflects the current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the receivables.
5.6. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for all periods presented is based on an estimated effective income tax rate for the respective fiscal years. The estimated annual effective income tax rate is determined excluding the effect of significant discrete items or items that are reported net of their related tax effects. The tax effect of significant discrete items is reflected in the period in which they occur. The Company's income tax expense is impacted by a number of factors, including the amount of

taxable earnings derived in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates that are generally higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate, state tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company does business and the Company's ability to utilize various tax credits, capital loss and net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards.

The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability and valuation allowances are established based on historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences, as deemed appropriate. In addition, all other available positive and negative evidence is taken into consideration for purposes of determining the proper balances of such valuation allowances. As a result of this review, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against U.S. federal and state capital loss carryforwards and a partial valuation allowance against certain foreign NOL carryforwards and other related foreign deferred tax assets, as well as certain U.S. state NOL carryforwards. Future changes to the balances of these valuation allowances, as a result of this continued review and analysis by the Company, could result in a material impact to the financial statements for such period of change.

The Company conducts business in multiple locations within and outside the U.S. Consequently, the Company is subject to periodic income tax examinations by domestic and foreign income tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine, periodic income tax examinations in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions. During the three monthsnine month Transition Period ended June 30,December 31, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) completed an income tax examination of the Company’s U.S. consolidated federal income tax returns for the tax years ended March 31, 2016 and 2017. The Company paid approximately $1.5 million upon the conclusion of such examination, all of which was previously accrued in the Company’s financial statements.

corporate income and trade tax returns for the Company’s CENTA German subsidiary for the tax years ended December 31, 2014 through December 31, 2017. The conclusion of the tax examination resulted in additional tax liabilities of approximately $1.7 million, all of which was subject to indemnification under the terms of the applicable purchase agreement or otherwise appropriately accrued in the Company’s financial statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Italian tax authorities began conducting an income tax examination of the income tax return of one of the Company’s Italian subsidiaries for the tax year ended March 31, 2018. In addition, certain of the Company’s German subsidiaries are currently undergoing a corporate income and trade tax examination by the German tax authorities for the tax years or period ended March 31, 2015 through March 31, 2018.

It appears reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized income tax benefits and indemnification liabilities could change in the next twelve months upon conclusion of the Company’s current ongoing examinations; however, any potential payments of income tax, interest and penalties are not expected to be significant to the Company's consolidated financial statements. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for tax years ending prior to March 31, 2018,2019, state and local income tax examinations for years ending prior to March 31, 20172018 or significant foreign income tax examinations for years ending prior to March 31, 2016.2017.
6.7. Earnings per Share
    Basic net income per share from continuing and discontinued operations attributable to Zurn Elkay common stockholders is computed by dividing net income from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations net of tax and net income attributable to Zurn Elkay common stockholders, respectively, by the corresponding weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share from continuing and discontinued operations attributable to Zurn Elkay common stockholders is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, increased by the number of incremental shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive shares were issued through the exercise of outstanding stock options or release of outstanding restricted stock units and performance stock units to purchase common shares, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive.
The computation of diluted net income per share for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, excludes zero and 0.2 million shares, respectively, related to equity awards due to their anti-dilutive effects. The computation of diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202022 excludes 2.3 million and 0.8 million common shares due to their anti-dilutive effects, respectively. The computation for diluted net income per share for the three and 1.0nine months ended September 30, 2021 excludes 0.0 million related to equity awardsand 0.2 million common shares due to their anti-dilutive effects, respectively.

13.14. Fair Value Measurements
    ASC 820Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use.
21

Table of Contents
In accordance with ASC 820, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable.
Level 3 - Model-derived valuations in which one or more inputs or value-drivers are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
21

Table of Contents
    If applicable, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine fair value, and therefore classifies such measurements within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, the Company makes use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters. These measurements are classified within Level 3 if they use significant unobservable inputs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
    The Company has a nonqualified deferred compensation plan where assets are invested in mutual funds and corporate-owned life insurance contracts held in a rabbi trust,Rabbi Trust, which is restricted for payments to participants of the plan. The Company has elected to use the fair value option for the mutual funds, which are measured using quoted prices of identical instruments in active markets categorized as Level 1. Corporate-owned life insurance contracts are recorded at cash surrender value, which is provided by a third party and reflects the net asset value of the underlying publicly traded mutual funds categorized as Level 2. The deferred compensation plan assets are classified within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred compensation plan liabilities are measured at fair value based on quoted prices of identical instruments to the investment vehicles selected by the participants categorized as Level 1. Deferred compensation plan liabilities are classified within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
    The following table provides a summary of the Company's assets and liabilities that were recognized at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 (in millions):

There were no transfers of assets between levels at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.
Fair Value of Non-Derivative Financial Instruments
    The carrying amounts of cash, receivables, payables and accrued liabilities approximated fair value at September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The fair value of long-term debt as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, was approximately $1,209.1$539.1 million and $1,209.3$552.4 million, respectively. The fair value is based on quoted market prices for the same instruments.
Acquisition Method of Accounting
The methods used to determine the fair value of significant identifiable assets and liabilities included in the allocation of the Elkay purchase price are discussed below.
Inventories - Acquired inventory was comprised of finished goods, work in process and raw materials. The fair value of finished goods was calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for costs of the selling effort and a reasonable profit allowance relating to the selling effort. The fair value of work in process inventory was primarily calculated as the estimated selling price, adjusted for estimated costs to complete the manufacturing, estimated costs of the selling effort, as well as a reasonable profit margin on the remaining manufacturing and selling effort. The fair value of raw materials and supplies was determined based on replacement cost which approximates historical carrying value.
Property, Plant and Equipment - The preliminary fair value of property, plant, and equipment was determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset.
Leases, including Right-Of-Use ("ROU") Assets and Lease Liabilities - Lease liabilities were measured as of the acquisition date at the present value of future minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term and the incremental borrowing rate of the Company as if the acquired leases were new leases as of the acquisition date. ROU assets recorded are equal to the amount of the lease liability at the acquisition date adjusted for any off-market terms of the lease. The remaining lease term was based on the remaining term at the acquisition date plus any renewal or extension options that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised.

Identifiable Intangible Assets
- The fair value estimates of the identifiable intangible assets are based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset. The preliminary fair value and weighted average useful life of the identifiable intangible assets are as follows (in millions):

(in years)
Trade name (1)$168.7 20
Customer relationships (2)691.8 16
Fair value of intangible assets acquired860.5 
____________________
(1)The Elkay trade name was valued using the relief from royalty method, which considers both the market approach and the income approach.
(2)The fair value of customer relationships was valued using a multi-period excess earnings method, a form of the income approach, which incorporates the estimated future cash flows to be generated from Elkay's existing customer base.
Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities - The acquisition was structured as a merger and therefore, the Company assumed the historical tax basis of the Elkay business’s assets and liabilities. The deferred income tax assets and liabilities include the expected future federal, state, and foreign tax consequences associated with temporary differences between the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the respective tax bases. Tax rates utilized in calculating deferred income taxes generally represent the enacted statutory tax rates at the effective date of the acquisition in the jurisdictions in which legal title of the underlying asset or liability resides.
Other Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed (excluding Goodwill) - The Company utilized the carrying values, net of allowances, to value accounts receivable and accounts payable as well as other current assets and liabilities as it was determined that carrying values represented the fair value of those items at the acquisition date.
Goodwill - The excess of the consideration for the acquisition over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill is attributable to expected synergies and expanded market opportunities from combining the Company’s operations with those of Elkay. The goodwill created in the acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
15. Commitments and Contingencies

Balance at end of periodBalance at end of period$7.3 $8.3 Balance at end of period$5.5 $1.4 
Contingencies:
    The Company's subsidiaries are involved in various unresolved legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business involving, among other things, product liability, commercial, employment, workers' compensation, intellectual property claims and environmental matters. The Company establishes accruals in a manner that is consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for costs associated with such matters when liability is probable and those costs are capable of being reasonably estimated. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss or recovery, based upon current information, management believes the eventual outcome of these unresolved legal actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
    In connection with its sale, Invensys plc ("Invensys") provided the Company with indemnification against certain contingent liabilities, including certain pre-closing environmental liabilities. The Company believes that, pursuant to such indemnity obligations, Invensys is obligated to defend and indemnify the Company with respect to the matters described below relating to the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site and to various asbestos claims. The indemnity obligations relating to the matters described below are subject, together with indemnity obligations relating to other matters, to an overall dollar cap equal to the purchase price, which is an amount in excess of $900 million. The following paragraphs summarize the most significant actions and proceedings:
In 2002, Rexnord Industries, LLC ("Rexnord Industries") was named as a potentially responsible party ("PRP"), together with at least 10 other companies, at the Ellsworth Industrial Park Site, Downers Grove, DuPage County, Illinois (the "Site"), by the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("USEPA"), and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("IEPA"). Rexnord Industries' Downers Grove property is situated within the Ellsworth Industrial Complex. The USEPA and IEPA allege there have been 1 or more releases or threatened releases of chlorinated solvents and other hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants, allegedly including but not limited to a release or threatened release on or from the Company's property, at the Site. The relief sought by the USEPA and IEPA includes further investigation and potential remediation of the Site and reimbursement of USEPA's past costs. In early 2020, Rexnord Industries entered into an administrative order with the USEPA to do remediation work on its Downers Grove property. The remediation work started in 2020 and is on-going. Rexnord Industries' allocated share of past and future costs related to the Site, including for investigation and/or remediation, could be significant. All previously pending property damage and personal injury lawsuits against the Company related to the Site have been settled or dismissed. Pursuant to its indemnity obligation, Invensys continues to defend the Company in known matters related to the Site, including the costs of the remediation work pursuant to the 2020 administrative order, and has paid 100% of the costs to date.
Multiple lawsuits (with approximately 300 claimants) are pending in state or federal court in numerous jurisdictions relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in certain brakes and clutches previously manufactured by the Company's Stearns division and/or its predecessor owners. Invensys and FMC, prior owners of the Stearns business, have paid 100% of the costs to date related to the Stearns lawsuits. Similarly, the Company's Prager subsidiary is the subject of claims by multiple claimants alleging personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in a product allegedly manufactured by Prager. However, all these claims are currently on the Texas Multi-district Litigation inactive docket, and the Company does not believe that they will become active in the future. To date, the Company's insurance providers have paid 100% of the costs related to the Prager asbestos matters. The

Company believes that the combination of its insurance coverage and the Invensys indemnity obligations will cover any future costs of these matters.
    In connection with the Company's acquisition of The Falk Corporation ("Falk"), Hamilton Sundstrand provided the Company with indemnification against certain products-related asbestos exposure liabilities. The Company believes that, pursuant to such indemnity obligations, Hamilton Sundstrand is obligated to defend and indemnify the Company with respect to the asbestos claims described below, and that, with respect to these claims, such indemnity obligations are not subject to any time or dollar limitations.
    The following paragraph summarizes the most significant actions and proceedings for which Hamilton Sundstrand has accepted responsibility:
Falk, through its successor entity, is a defendant in multiple lawsuits pending in state or federal court in numerous jurisdictions relating to alleged personal injuries due to the alleged presence of asbestos in certain clutches and drives previously manufactured by Falk. There are approximately 100 claimants in these suits. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot presently be determined. Hamilton Sundstrand is defending the Company in these lawsuits pursuant to its indemnity obligations and has paid 100% of the costs to date.    
    Certain Water ManagementCompany subsidiaries are also subject to asbestos litigation. As of September 30, 2021,2022, Zurn and numerous other unrelated companies were defendants in approximately 6,000 asbestos related lawsuits representing approximately 7,000 claims. Plaintiffs' claims allege personal injuries caused by exposure to asbestos used primarily in industrial boilers formerly manufactured by a segment of Zurn. Zurn did not manufacture asbestos or asbestos components. Instead, Zurn purchased them from suppliers. These claims are being handled pursuant to a defense strategy funded by insurers.
    As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company estimates the potential liability for the asbestos-related claims described above, as well as the claims expected to be filed in the next ten years, to be approximately $59.0$66.0 million, of which Zurn expects its insurance carriers to pay approximately $42.0$49.0 million in the next ten years on such claims, with the balance of the estimated liability being paid in subsequent years. The $59.0$66.0 million was developed based on actuarial studies and represents the projected indemnity payout for current and future claims. There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimating the number of future asbestos claims, future settlement costs, and the effectiveness of defense strategies and settlement initiatives. As a result, actual liability could differ from the estimate described herein and could be substantial. The liability for the asbestos-related claims is recorded in Other liabilitiesreserve for asbestos claims within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
    Management estimates that its available insurance to cover this potential asbestos liability as of September 30, 2021,2022 is in excess of the 10ten year estimated exposure, and accordingly, believes that all current claims are covered by insurance.
    As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company had a recorded receivable from its insurance carriers of $59.0$66.0 million, which corresponds to the amount of this potential asbestos liability that is covered by available insurance and is currently determined to be probable of recovery. However, there is no assurance the Company's current insurance coverage will ultimately be available or that this asbestos liability will not ultimately exceed the Company's coverage limits. Factors that could cause a decrease in the amount of available coverage or create gaps in coverage include: changes in law governing the policies, potential disputes and settlements with the carriers regarding the scope of coverage, and insolvencies of 1one or more of the Company's carriers. The receivable for probable asbestos-related recoveries is recorded in Other assetsinsurance for asbestos claims within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
    Certain Company subsidiaries were named as defendants in a number of individual and class action lawsuits in various United States courts claiming damages due to the alleged failure or anticipated failure of Zurn brass fittings on the PEX plumbing systems in homes and other structures. In fiscal 2013, the Company reached a court-approved agreement to settle the liability underlying this litigation. The settlement was designed to resolve, on a national basis, the Company's overall exposure for both known and unknown claims related to the alleged failure or anticipated failure of such fittings. The settlement utilized a seven year claims fund, which was capped at $20.0 million, and was funded in installments over the seven year period based on claim activity and minimum funding criteria.  The seven year filing period expired on April 1, 2020. Any claims after April 1, 2020 are time barred. The Company expects to make payment on any remaining timely filed claims and close out the settlement fund. The Company has recorded an accrual for the balance of this liability.

18. Leases
The Company determines if a contract is (or contains) a lease at inception by evaluating whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. The Company has operating and finance leases primarily associated with real estate, automobiles and manufacturing and office equipment.
The Company has lease agreements that include lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for as a single lease component for all classes of the underlying assets. The term of the Company’s leases generally reflects the non-cancellable period of the lease. Some of the Company’s lease agreements include options to extend or terminate the lease, which are excluded from the minimum lease terms unless the Company is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Lease expense for operating leases and amortization expense for finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and are instead recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. Additionally, ROU assets include any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, any initial direct costs incurred, and are reduced by lease incentives received. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the present value of lease payments is determined using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liabilities are comprised of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and amounts probable to be paid if an option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Variable lease payments, typically based on usage of the asset or changes in an index or rate, are excluded from the lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.

In addition, the DDTL Facility discussed in Note 12 was drawn in connection with the consummation of the Transactions in order to fund the Land Cash Payment from Land to Rexnord LLC of approximately $486.6 million pursuant the terms of the Separation Agreement entered into in connection with the Transaction.
The proceeds of the term loan were, together with the Land Cash Payment associated with the DDTL Facility discussed in and cash on hand, used to (i) repay in full the $625.0 million aggregate principal amount of term B loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, together with accrued interest thereon, (ii) redeem the $500.0 million outstanding principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2025 issued by Holdings and Zurn pursuant to an Indenture dated as of December 7, 2017, among Holdings, Zurn, the guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, at a redemption price equal to 102.438% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and (iii) pay related fees and expenses.

    The obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement and related documents are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of Holdings, the Borrowers, and certain subsidiaries of the Borrowers pursuant to a Third Amended and Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of October 4, 2021, among Holdings, the Borrowers, the subsidiaries of the Borrowers party thereto, and the Administrative Agent (the “Restated Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”), and certain other collateral documents.

Loans under the Restated Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, by reference to a base rate or a rate based on LIBOR, in either case, plus an applicable margin determined quarterly based on the Borrowers’ Net First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement) as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Term B Loan has an effective current interest rate of 2.75%, determined on the basis of adjusted LIBOR (subject to a 0.50% floor) plus 2.25%. Prior to maturity, the Term B Loan will be subject to quarterly amortization of 0.25% of the initial principal amount. The Borrowers are also required to pay a quarterly commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the revolving line of credit for each fiscal quarter and fees in connection with the issuance of letters of credit.

Retirement Benefits

In connection with the aforementioned transaction with Regal, the transfer of net assets associated with the PMC segment will include approximately $80.0 million of unfunded pension and postretirement benefit obligations. In accordance with the authoritative guidance, the transfer of the pension and postretirement benefit obligations will require the Company to perform an interim remeasurement of certain of its pension and postretirement benefit plans at the time of the transfer. As discussed in Note 15, upon remeasurement of pension and postretirement benefit obligations the Company recognizes net actuarial gains or losses in excess of the corridor in operating results at the time of the remeasurement event. The Company anticipates it will recognize approximately $7.0 million of non-cash actuarial losses in connection with this policy during the fourth quarter of 2021.

On October 21, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.03$0.07 per-share to be paid on December 7, 2021,2022, to stockholders of record as of November 19, 2021.18, 2022.

Restructuring and Other Similar Costs
    During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, we continued to executeexecuted various restructuring initiatives focused on driving efficiencies, reducing operating costs by modifying our footprint to reflect changes in the markets we serve and the impact of acquisitions on our overall manufacturing capacity and the refinement of our overall product portfolio. These restructuring actions primarily resulted in workforce reductions, impairment of related manufacturing facilities, equipment and intangible assets, lease termination costs, and other facility rationalization costs. We expect to continue executing similar initiatives to optimize our operating margin and manufacturing footprint. As we continue to evaluate the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting effects on the global economy, we may also execute additional restructuring actions. As such, we expect further expenses related to workforce reductions, lease termination costs, and other facility rationalization costs on our overall manufacturing capacity, and refining our overall product portfolio. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, restructuring charges totaled $2.0$11.7 million and $3.7$13.1 million, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and not replace financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following non-GAAP financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these financial measures are appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying operating performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers. Management also believes that these measures are useful to investors in their analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between fiscal periods as well as insight into the compliance with our debt covenants. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Core sales
    Core sales excludes the impact of acquisitions (such as the HadrianWade Drains and Just ManufacturingElkay acquisitions), divestitures and foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier and more meaningful comparisons of our net sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because the nature, size and number of acquisitions and divestitures can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers, and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult. We exclude the effect of foreign currency translation from this measure because the volatility of currency translation is not under management's control.

    EBITDA represents earnings from continuing operations before interest and other debt related activities, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA
    Adjusted EBITDA (as described below in “Covenant Compliance”) is an important measure because, under our credit agreement, our ability to incur certain types of acquisition debt and certain types of subordinated debt, make certain types of acquisitions or asset exchanges, operate our business and make dividends or other distributions, all of which will impact our financial performance, is impacted by our Adjusted EBITDA, as our lenders measure our performance with a net first lien leverage ratio by comparing our senior secured bank indebtedness to our Adjusted EBITDA (see “Covenant Compliance” for additional discussion of this ratio, including a reconciliation to our net income). We reported net income attributable to Zurn Elkay common stockholders in the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, of $187.3$47.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA for the same period of $381.5$200.0 million. See “Covenant Compliance” for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income attributable to Zurn.income.
Covenant Compliance
    Our credit agreement, which governs our senior secured credit facilities, contains, among other provisions, restrictive covenants regarding indebtedness, payments and distributions, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, affiliate transactions, capital expenditures and the maintenance of certain financial ratios. Payment of borrowings under the credit agreement may be accelerated if there is an event of default. Events of default include the failure to pay principal and interest when due, a material breach of a representation or warranty, certain non-payments or defaults under other indebtedness, covenant defaults, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. Certain covenants contained in the credit agreement restrict our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions, if we are unable to meetcomply with a maximum total net leverage ratio of 6.755.00 to 1.01.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. At September 30, 2021,2022, our net leverage ratio was 1.71.61 to 1.0.1.00. Failure to comply with these covenants could limit our long-term growth prospects by hindering our ability to borrow under the revolver, to obtain future debt and/or to make acquisitions.

Table of Contents
    “Adjusted EBITDA” is the term we use to describe EBITDA as defined and adjusted in our credit agreement, which is net income, adjusted for the items summarized in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or non-recurring losses or gains. In view of our debt level, itIt is also provided to aid investors in understanding our compliance with our debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. This measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) the significant interest expenses, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us; (e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA allows us to addadds back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results.
    In addition, certain of these excluded expenses can represent the reduction of cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to operational changes ranging from acquisitions or dispositions to restructuring, and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred.
    The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA under our credit agreement as of September 30, 2021,2022, is presented in the table below. However, the results of such calculation could differ in the future based on the different types of adjustments that may be included in such respective calculations at the time.

ITEM 3. ��    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
    We are exposed to market risk during the normal course of business from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of normal operating and financing activities and at times derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward contracts interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to cover certain known foreign currency transactional risks, as well as identified risks due torisks. We also have historically entered into interest rate derivatives to manage interest rate fluctuations. There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Transition Report on Form 10-K for the Transition Period ended December 31, 2020.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
    We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
    We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation as of September 30, 2021,2022, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner allowing timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As such, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the period covered by this report.
    Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of the changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
    There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
As discussed above, on July 1, 2022, we completed the Elkay Merger. As part of our ongoing integration of the Elkay business, we continue to incorporate our controls and procedures into the acquired business and to expand our company-wide controls to reflect the risks inherent in an acquisition of this size and complexity.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, particularly those disclosed in the MD&A, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s TransitionAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the Transition Periodyear ended December 31, 2020.2021. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors except as set forth below:

Risks Related to the TransactionsMerger with Regal Beloit CorporationElkay

We recorded substantial goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of the Merger that could become impaired and result in material non-cash charges to our results of operations in the future.
We account for the Merger as an acquisition of a business in accordance with GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Elkay and its subsidiaries have incurred significant costs relatedbeen recorded, as of the completion of the Merger, at their respective fair values. Our reported financial condition and results of operations for periods after completion of the Merger reflect Elkay’s balances and results after completion of the Merger but have not been restated retroactively to reflect the historical financial position or results of operations of Elkay and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the TransactionsMerger.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to Elkay’s tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets based on their fair values as of the date of completion of the Merger. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values, if any, was recorded as goodwill. To the extent the value of goodwill or intangibles, if any, becomes impaired in the future, we may be required to incur material non-cash charges relating to such impairment. Our operating results may be significantly impacted from both the impairment and the underlying trends in the business that could have an adverse effecttriggered the impairment.
We may be unable to successfully integrate Elkay’s business into our business or achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger.
The success of the Merger depends, in part, on our liquidity, cash flows and operating results.
We have incurred significant one-time costs in connection with the Transactions, including the cost of financing and other transaction costs, integration costs, and other costs that our management team believes are necessaryability to realize the anticipated synergiesbenefits and cost savings from adding Elkay’s businesses, and we cannot assure successful integration or realization of the Transactions. The incurrenceanticipated benefits of these costs could havethe Merger. Potential difficulties that may be encountered in the integration process which may result in Zurn Elkay performing differently than expected include, among others:
• the inability to successfully integrate Elkay in a material adverse effect on our liquidity,manner that permits the achievement of full revenue, expected cash flows and operatingcost savings anticipated from the Merger;
• not realizing anticipated synergies;
• integrating personnel from Elkay and the loss of key employees;
• potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen expenses;
• integrating relationships with customers, vendors and business partners;
• performance shortfalls as a result of the diversion of management’s attention caused by completing the Merger and integrating Elkay’s operations; and
• the disruption of, or the loss of momentum in, our ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies.
Our results may suffer if we do not effectively manage our expanded operations following the Merger.
Following the Merger, the size of our business has increased significantly beyond its previous size. Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to manage this expanded business, resulting in risks and uncertainties, including the periods in which they are incurred.need to efficiently and timely integrate the operations and business of Elkay, to combine systems and management controls, and to integrate relationships with customers, vendors and business partners.
The market price of our common stock may decline as a result ofZurn Elkay Common Stock following the Transactions and the market price of our common stock after the consummation of the TransactionsMerger may be affected by factors different or additional factors.
Zurn’s businesses differ somewhat from those affectingElkay's which may cause the price of our common stock before the Transactions.
The market price of our common stock may decline as a result of the Transactions if we do not achieve the perceived benefits of the Transactions or if the effect of the Transactions on our financial results are not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts. Our results of operations as well asof Zurn following the market price of our common stock after the Transactions, mayMerger to be affected differently by factors in addition to those currently affecting our results of operations and theeconomic, market price of our common stock and other differences in assets and capitalization. Accordingly, our historical market price and financial results may not be indicative of these matters after the consummation of the Transactions.
If the Reorganization and the Distributions do not qualify as tax-free under Sections 355 and 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), including as a result of an error in the determination of overlap shareholders or subsequent acquisitions of our common stock, then our stockholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes, and Land (guaranteed by Regal) may be obligated to indemnify us for such taxes imposed on us.
The obligation of us and Land Newco, Inc., a previously wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Land”) to complete the Transactions was conditioned on receipt of a tax opinion , which included an opinion to the effect that our transfer to Land of substantially all of the assets, and Land’s assumption from Rexnord of substantially all of the liabilities, of the Process & Motion Control business (the “Reorganization”), together with the series of distributions of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Land common stock from an indirect subsidiary of Rexnord to our stockholders (the “Distributions”), qualified as tax-free to us, Land and our stockholders, as applicable, for U.S. federal income tax purposes (collectively, the “Rexnord Tax Opinion”). The Rexnord Tax Opinion was based on, among other things, certain representations and assumptions as to factual matters and certain covenants made by us, Regal and Land. The failure of any factual representation, assumption or covenant to be true, correct and complete in all material respects could adversely affect the validity of the opinion of counsel. An opinion of counsel represents counsel’s best legal judgment, is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) or the courts, and the IRS or the courts may not agree with the opinion. In addition, the opinion was based on current law, and cannot be relied upon if current law changes with retroactive effect.

The Spin-Off will be taxable to us pursuant to Section 355(e) of the Code if there is a 50% or greater change in ownership of either us or Land, directly or indirectly, as part of a plan or series of related transactions that include the Spin-Off. For this purpose, any acquisitions of our, Land’s or Regal’s stock within the period beginning two years before the Spin-Off and ending two years after the Spin-Off are presumed to be a part of such plan, although we and Regal may be able to rebut that presumption. We have requested a private letter ruling from the IRS with respect to certain tax aspects of the Transactions, including matters relating to the nature and extent of shareholders who may be counted for tax purposes as overlap shareholders (i.e., investors who are both Rexnord stockholders and Regal shareholders immediately prior to the Transactions) for purposes of determining the exchange ratio in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 15, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”) (the “IRS Ruling”). The Merger Agreement provided that the number of shares of Regal common stock that may be issued in the Transactions was subject to increase at closing such that the former stockholders of Land (taking into account the overlap shareholders) owned at least 50.8% of the outstanding Regal common stock for tax purposes immediately following the closing of the merger of Phoenix 2021, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Regal (“Merger Sub”) with and into Land, withfactors.

The former Elkay stockholders may wish to dispose of some or all of the IRS Ruling, but no assurance can be givenZurn Elkay Common Stock that the IRS will agree with these determinations or calculations. If the IRS were to determine that the Merger, as a result of an errorthey received in the determinationMerger. These sales (or the perception that these sales may occur), coupled with the increase in the outstanding number of Overlap Shareholders, or other acquisitionsshares of our Land’s or Regal’s stock, either before or afterCommon Stock, may adversely affect the Spin-Off, resulted in a 50% or greater change in ownership and were parttrading price of a plan or seriesour Common Stock.
Certain former stockholders of related transactions that includedElkay have registration rights, the Spin-Off, such determination could result in significant tax to us. In certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations, under the Tax Matters Agreement, dated asexercise of February 15, 2021 (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), Land (then a subsidiary of Regal) is required to indemnify us if the Distributions become taxable as a result of certain actions by Land or Regal or as a result of a miscalculation of the Overlap Shareholders. If this occurs and Land is required to indemnify us, this indemnification obligation could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on Land and Regal, including with respect to financial condition and results of operations given that Regal has guaranteed the indemnification obligations of Land.

If the Merger does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, our stockholders may be required to pay substantial U.S. federal income taxes.
The obligations of Land and Regal to consummate the Merger were conditioned, respectively, on our receipt of the Rexnord Tax Opinion and Regal’s receipt of the Regal Tax Opinion, in each case to the effect that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. These opinions were based upon, among other things, certain representations and assumptions as to factual matters and certain covenants made by us, Regal, Land and Merger Sub. The failure of any factual representation, assumption or covenant to be true, correct and complete in all material respectswhich could adversely affect the validitymarket price of our Common Stock.
In connection with the Merger, the Company and certain stockholders of Elkay entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which such stockholders have a right to demand registration of one public offering within the first three years after the closing of the opinions. An opinion of counsel represents counsel’s best legal judgment, is not binding on the IRS or the courts, and the IRS or the courts may not agree with the opinion. In addition, the opinions were based on current law, and cannot be relied upon if current law changes with retroactive effect. If the Merger, is taxable, U.S. holders of Land would be considered to have made a taxable sale of their Land common stock to Regal, and such U.S. holders of Land will generally recognize taxable gain or loss on their receipt of Regal common stock in the Merger. Under the Tax Matters Agreement, Land is required to indemnify us if the Distributions become taxable as a result of certain actions by Land or Regal or as a result of a miscalculation of the overlap shareholders.
We, Regal and Land are each required to abide by potentially significant restrictions which could limit each company’s ability to undertake certain corporate actions (such as the issuance of common stock or the undertaking of certain business combinations) that otherwise could be advantageous.
The Tax Matters Agreement imposes certain restrictions on us, Regal and Land during the two-year period following the Spin-Off, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to actions that could cause the Reorganizationminimum and the Distributions to fail to qualify for their intended tax treatment. As a resultmaximum thresholds and other customary conditions. The existence and potential or actual exercise of these restrictions, our, Regal’s and Land’s ability to engage in certain transactions, such as the issuance or purchase of stock or certain business combinations, may be limited.
If we, Regal or Land take any enumerated actions or omissions, or if certain events relating to us, Land or Regal occur that would cause the Reorganization or the Distributions to become taxable, the party whose actions or omissions (or event relating to) generally will be required to bear the cost of any resulting tax liability of ours (but not our stockholders). If the Reorganization or the Distributions became taxable, we would be expected to recognize a substantial amount of gain, which would result in a material amount of taxes. Any such taxes would be expected to be material to us or Regal, as applicable, and could cause its business, financial condition and operating results to suffer. These restrictions may reduce our and Regal’s ability to engage in certain business transactions that otherwise might be advantageous to them, whichrights could adversely affectimpact the market price of our or Regal’s respective business, results of operations, or financial condition.Common Stock.
The Transactions may not achieve the intended benefits and may expose us to potential risks and liabilities.
We completed the Transactions on October 4, 2021. We undertook the Transactions because, among other things, we believed that the Transactions could provide more value to Zurn and Zurn stockholders than other potential strategic options for the company or the PMC Business, including a sale of the entire company, retaining the PMC Business, and various alternative transactions. We may not benefit as expected from the increased focus on our core business, strategic programs and objectives made possible by the Transactions. In addition, the value of the Transactions may be reduced by potential liabilities related to post-closing adjustments and indemnities, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
