XYLEM INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
Xylem Inc. ("Xylem"(“Xylem” or the "Company"“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 was incorporated in Indiana on May 4, 2011.
As previously announced, in the second quarter of 2017 we implemented an organizational redesign by moving Xylem’s Analytics business from our Water Infrastructure business to combining it with our Sensus business, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016, to form Measurement & Control Solutions (formerly Sensus & Analytics). We believe that the combination of these businesses will enhance our focus on advanced sensing technologies and will lead to operating efficiencies by integrating the supply chain process and moving to a leaner functional structure.  Accordingly, our reportable segments have changed. Beginning with the second quarter of 2017, the Company now reports the financial position and results of operations of its Analytics and Sensus businesses as one new reportable segment, which is currently called Measurement & Control Solutions. Our Water Infrastructure reportable segment no longer includes the results of our Analytics business. The Company has recast certain historical amounts between the Company's Water Infrastructure and Measurement & Control Solutions reportable segments, however this change had no impact on the Company's historical consolidated financial position or results of operations. The recast financial information does not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements. Our Applied Water reportable segment remains unchanged. Refer to Note 18 "Segment Information" for additional segment information.
Xylem operates in threefour segments, Water Infrastructure, Applied Water, and Measurement & Control Solutions. The Water Infrastructure segment focuses on the transportation and treatment of water, offering a range of products including water and wastewater pumps, treatment equipment, and controls and systems. The Applied Water segment serves many of the primary uses of water and focuses on the residential, commercial and industrial markets. The Applied Water segment’s major products include pumps, valves, heat exchangers, controls and dispensing equipment. The Measurement & Control Solutions and Integrated Solutions and Services. See Note 19, "Segment Information," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further segment focuses on developing advanced technology solutions that enable intelligent use and conservation of critical water and energy resources as well as analytical instrumentation used in the testing of water. The Measurement & Control Solutions segment's major products include smart metering, networked communications, measurement and control technologies, software and services including cloud-based analytics, remote monitoring and data management, leak detection and pressure monitoring solutions and testing equipment.background information.
Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, "Xylem," "we," "us," "our" and the "Company" refer to Xylem Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Acquisition of Evoqua
On May 24, 2023, Xylem completed the acquisition of Evoqua Water Technologies Corp. (“Evoqua”). Refer to Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," for additional information.
Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial position and results of operations in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All intercompany transactions between our businesses have been eliminated.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentationstatement of the financial position and results of operations 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, 20162022 ("20162022 Annual Report") in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, with the exception of accounting standard updates described in Note 2.statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our 20162022 Annual Report.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
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 condensed consolidated 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, postretirementvaluation results associated with purchase accounting, post-retirement obligations and assets, revenue recognition, income tax contingency accruals andtaxes, valuation allowances,of intangible assets, goodwill and indefinite livedindefinite-lived intangible impairment testing and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
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 condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are described as ending on the last day of the calendar quarter.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In August 2017,September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“FASB”ASU”) issued amended2022-04, "Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations." This guidance requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs and a rollforward of the related obligations. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The ASU became effective January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward requirement, which becomes effective January 1, 2024. The disclosures related to our adoption of the standard are included below:
The Company facilitates the opportunity for suppliers to participate in voluntary supply chain financing programs with third-party financial institutions. Xylem agrees on hedging activities.commercial terms, including payment terms, with suppliers regardless of program participation. The amendment better aligns a company’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to bothcompany does not determine the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying for hedging relationshipsterms or conditions of the arrangement between suppliers and the presentationthird-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers are paid directly by the third-party financial institution. Xylem pays the third-party financial institution the stated amount of hedge results. Specifically,confirmed invoices from its designated suppliers at the guidance:
(1)Eliminatesoriginal invoice amount on the concept of recognizing periodic hedge ineffectiveness for cash flow and net investment hedges
(2)Eliminates the benchmark interest rate concept of variable - rate instruments in cash flow hedges and allows companies to designate the contractually specified interest rate as the hedged risk
(3)Requires a company to present the earnings effectoriginal maturity dates of the hedging instrumentinvoices, ranging from 45-180 days. Xylem does not pay fees related to these programs. Xylem or the third-party financial institutions may terminate the agreements upon at least 30 days’ notice. As of June 30, 2023, the total outstanding balance under these programs is $178 million presented on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within "Accounts payable."
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” This guidance requires an acquirer to apply the guidance in the same income statement line itemASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported
(4)Provides the ability to perform subsequent hedge effectiveness tests qualitatively
This guidancea business combination, rather than using fair value. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted with the effect of adoption reflected2022 and we adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023. The guidance will be applied prospectively to business combinations after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. For cash flow and net investment hedges existing at the date of adoption, a cumulative-effect adjustment related to eliminating the separate measurement of ineffectiveness is required. Other presentation and disclosure guidance is required only prospectively. We are evaluating the impact of the guidance on our financial condition and results of operations.
In March 2017, the FASB issued amended guidance on presentation of net periodic benefit costs.  The amendment requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period.  The other components are required to be presented in the income statement separately and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented.  The amendment also requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components if they are not appropriately described.  This guidance is effective retrospectively for periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods.  Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is expected to impact the presentation between operating income and other non operating income within Xylem's Consolidated Income Statement but isdid not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance amending the accounting for the impairment of financial instruments, including trade receivables. Under current guidance, credit losses are recognized when the applicable losses are probable of occurring and this assessment is based on past events and current conditions. The amended guidance eliminates the “probable” threshold and requires an entity to use a broader range of information, including forecast information when estimating expected credit losses. Generally, this should result in a more timely recognition of credit losses. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The requirements of the amended guidance should be applied using a modified retrospective approach except for debt securities, which require a prospective transition approach. We are evaluating the impact of the guidance on our financial condition and results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance amending the accounting for leases. Specifically, the amended guidance requires all lessees to record a lease liability at lease inception, with a corresponding right of use asset, except for short-term leases. Lessor accounting is not fundamentally changed. This amended guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the guidance on our financial condition and results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the model is that an entity recognizes revenue to portray the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also expands disclosure requirements regarding revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or using a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The impact of this guidance on our financial condition and results of operations will be based on the types of contracts that Xylem is awarded in the future. We currently do not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements and plan to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance, which amends the scope of modification accounting guidance for share-based payment arrangements. The guidance outlines the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment arrangements that would require the use of modification accounting. Specifically, modification accounting would not apply if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the award as equity or liability are the same immediately before and after the modification. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. We elected to early adopt this guidance effective the second quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial condition or results from operations.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance amending the impairment testing of goodwill. Under current guidance, the testing of goodwill for impairment is performed at least annually using a two-step test. Step one involves comparing the fair value of a “reporting unit” to its carrying amount. If the applicable book value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value then step two must be performed. Step two involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the applicable carrying amount of the asset and recognizing an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The amended guidance eliminates step two of the impairment test and allows an entity to record an impairment charge equal to the amount that the carrying amount of the applicable reporting unit exceeds its fair value, up to the value of the recorded goodwill. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for interim or annual tests after January 1, 2017. We elected to early adopt this guidance effective the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.
In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance amending the accounting for income taxes. Under current guidance the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer is prohibited until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The amended guidance eliminates the prohibition against immediate recognition of current and deferred income tax amounts associated with intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. The requirements of the amended guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. We elected to early adopt this guidance effective the first quarter of 2017. As a result of adopting the amended guidance, prepaid tax assets were reduced by $14 million, long-term deferred tax assets increased $3 million, and accrued taxes were reduced by $4 million. The net impact of these adjustments on retained earnings was a decrease of $7 million.
In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance regarding simplifying the measurement of inventory. Under prior guidance, inventory is measured at the lower of cost or market, where market is defined as replacement cost, with

a ceiling of net realizable value and a floor of net realizable value less a normal profit margin. The amended guidance requires the measurement of inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early application is permitted. We adopted this guidance effective the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial condition or results of operations.

Acquisitions
Duringoutstanding shares of Evoqua, a leader in providing water and wastewater treatment solutions, offering a broad portfolio of products and services to support industrial, municipal, and recreational customers, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 22, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provided that Fore Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merge with and into Evoqua, with Evoqua surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Xylem (the “Merger”). Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each share of Evoqua common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive 0.48 (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of the common stock of Xylem. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, legacy Evoqua stockholders owned approximately 25% and legacy Xylem shareholders owned approximately 75% of the combined company. The purchase price for purposes of the Merger consisted of an aggregate of $6,121 million of the Company’s common stock, $160 million in replacement equity awards, and $619 million to repay certain indebtedness of Evoqua (refer to Note 12. Credit Facilities and Debt). Acquisition costs for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 we spent approximately $102023 of $39 million and $16$55 million, respectively, on various acquisition activity.

In the third quarter of 2017 we finalized the Sensusfinal purchase price allocation. The above fair values of Sensusassets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the reporting date. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were preliminarily determined using the income and cost approaches. In many cases, the determination of the fair values required estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows and other future events that are judgmental and subject to change. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities were determined based on estimates and assumptions which management believes are reasonable.

Goodwill arisingwill be completed as soon as the necessary information becomes available but no later than one year from the acquisition consists largelydate.

The fair value of receivables acquired is $322 million, with the gross contractual amount being $329 million. The Company expects $7 million to be uncollectible.

The amounts of sales and net loss from continuing operations before income taxes of Evoqua since the acquisition date included in the Consolidated Income Statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are $178 million and $49 million, respectively. The $4,364 million of goodwill recognized, which is not deductible for U.S. income tax purposes, is primarily attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of SensusEvoqua and Xylem. AllXylem as well as the assembled workforce of the goodwill was assignedEvoqua.

The preliminary estimate of the fair value of SensusEvoqua’s identifiable intangible assets was determined primarily using the “income approach,” which requires a forecast of all of the expected future cash flows either through the use of the multi-period excess earnings method or the relief-from-royalty method. SomeThe fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement of the more significant assumptions inherentfair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). Intangible assets consisting of the developmentEvoqua tradename, technology, customer relationships, and backlog were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MEEM”), or the relief from royalty (“RFR”) method, both are forms of the income approach.

Trademarks and proprietary technology intangible assets were valued using the RFR method. The RFR method of valuation suggests that in lieu of ownership, the acquirer can obtain comparable rights to use the subject asset values include:via a license from a hypothetical third-party owner. The asset’s Fair Value is the amountpresent value of license fees avoided by owning it (i.e., the royalty savings).

Customer relationship and timingbacklog intangible assets were valued using the MEEM method. The MEEM method of projected future cash flows,valuation is an approach where the discount rate selectednet earnings attributable to measure the risks inherent in the future cash flows, the assessment ofasset being measured are isolated from other “contributory assets” over the intangible asset’s life cycle, as well as other factors.remaining economic life.

Inventory was estimated using the comparative sales method, which quantifies the Fair Value of inventory based on the expected sales price of the subject inventory (when complete), reduced for: (i) all costs expected to be incurred in its completion and disposition efforts and (ii) a profit on those value-added completion and disposition costs.

Stock-Based Compensation

In connection with the Merger, each outstanding and issued option, restricted stock unit (“RSU”), performance stock unit (“PSU”) and cash-settled stock appreciation right (“SAR”) was converted into the Xylem equivalent, with outstanding PSUs being converted into Xylem RSUs. As a result, Xylem issued 2 million replacement equity options, 330 thousand PSU awards, and 377 thousand RSU awards, respectively. The following table summarizes key information underlying identifiable intangible assetsportion of the fair value related to pre-combination services of $160 million was included in the purchase price, and $56 million will be recognized over the remaining service periods. As of June 30, 2023, the future unrecognized expense related to the Sensus acquisition:outstanding Converted Equity Options, RSU Awards and PSU Awards was approximately $5 million, $21 million, and $10 million, respectively. The future unrecognized expense related to Converted Equity Options, RSU Awards, and PSU Awards will be recognized over a weighted-average service period of 3 years. SAR awards are immaterial.

Performance obligations
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. As of June 30, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied for contracts with performance obligations, amount to $949 million, of which $464 million is contributed by the Evoqua acquisition. We expect to recognize the majority of revenue upon the completion of satisfying these performance obligations in the following 60 months. The Company elects to apply the practical expedient to exclude from this disclosure revenue related to performance obligations that are part of a contract whose original expected duration is less than one year.

The effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2023 was lower than the United StatesU.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the mixfavorable impact of earnings in jurisdictions in both periods. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016

was lower than the current period due to the release of an unrecognized tax benefit in 2016 due to the effective settlement of a tax examination,mix partially offset by the nonrecurring repatriation of foreign earnings from 2016.nondeductible transaction costs.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
We recognizeDuring 2019, Xylem’s Swedish subsidiary received a tax benefits from uncertainassessment for the 2013 tax positions only ifyear related to the tax treatment of an intercompany transfer of certain intellectual property that was made in connection with a reorganization of our European businesses. Xylem filed an appeal with the Administrative Court of Växjö, which rendered a decision adverse to Xylem in June 2022 for SEK806 million (approximately $74 million), consisting of the full tax assessment amount plus penalties and interest. Xylem has appealed this decision with the intermediate appellate court, the Administrative Court of Appeal (the “Court”). At this time, management, in consultation with external legal advisors, continues to believe it is more likely than not that Xylem will prevail on the taxproposed assessment and will continue to vigorously defend our position through the appellate process. Both parties will have the ability to seek appeal of the Court’s decision to the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden. There can be sustained on examinationno assurance that the final determination by the taxing authorities based on the technical meritswill not be materially different than our position. As of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements 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 ofJune 30, 2023, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2017 was $75 million, as comparedrelated to $67 million at December 31, 2016, which if ultimately recognized will reduce our effectivethis uncertain tax rate. We do not believe that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months.position.
We classify interest expense relating to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of other non-operating expense, net, and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in our Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. As of September 30, 2017, we had $3.6 million of interest accrued for unrecognized tax benefits.

We have preliminarily allocated goodwill to segments of the Company that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. As the Company finalizes the estimation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional adjustments to the amount of goodwill allocated to each segment may be necessary.

Note 10. Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions, and we 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 revenue, expenses, cash receipts, cash payments, and the value of our stockholders' equity. 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 and also reduce the volatility in stockholders' equity.
As a result of Evoqua terminating their interest rate swaps prior to the Company completing the acquisition, the Company received $38 million in proceeds during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 from the termination of the interest rate swaps.
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.

Certain business units with exposure to foreign currency exchange risks have designated certain currency forward agreements as cash flow hedges of forecasted intercompany inventory purchases and sales. Our principal currency exposures for which we enter into cash flow hedges relate to the Euro, Swedish Krona, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Polish Zloty and Australian Dollar and Hungarian Forint.Dollar. We had foreign exchange contracts with purchasepurchased notional amounts totaling $58$360 million and $255 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, our most significant foreign currency derivatives included contracts to sell U.S. Dollar and purchase Euro, purchase Swedish Krona and sell Euro, sell U.S. Dollar and purchase Euro, sell British Pound and purchase Euro, and to purchase Polish Zloty and sell Euro, purchase U.S. Dollar and sell Canadian Dollar, sell Canadian Dollar and purchase Euro, purchase Canadian Dollar and Sell U.S. Dollar, and sell Australian Dollar and purchase Euro. The purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives are $26$144 million, $9$93 million, $8$39 million, $18 million, $17 million, $16 million, $16 million and $7$13 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2016 we did not hold any foreign exchange contracts.2022 the purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives were $105 million, $73 million, $29 million, $13 million, $13 million, $13 million, $0 million and $9 million, respectively.
Hedges of Net Investments in Foreign Operations
We are exposed to changes in foreign currencies impacting our net investments held in foreign subsidiaries.
Cross CurrencyCross-Currency Swaps
Beginning in 2015, we entered into cross currencycross-currency swaps to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. During the second quarter of 2019, third quarter of 2020, and second quarter of 2022 we entered into additional cross-currency swaps. The total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges was $440$1,659 million and $391$1,616 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, respectively.
Foreign Currency Denominated Debt
On March 11, 2016, we issued 2.250% Senior Notes of €500 million aggregate principal amount due March 2023. We designatedOn December 12th, 2022 our Senior Notes due March 2023 were settled with cash on hand for a total of $527 million.
Previously, the entirety of the outstanding balance or $583 million, net of unamortized discount,was designated as a hedge of a net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. On June 2, 2022, we de-designated the entirety of the outstanding balance of the €500 million 2.250% Senior Notes, or $533 million from the net investment hedge relationship.
Fair Value Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk
The de-designation of our 2.250% Senior Notes of €500 million resulted in exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. We use currency forward agreements to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. Currency forward agreements involve fixing the foreign currency exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date.
19


On June 2, 2022, we entered into a currency forward agreement with a total notional amount of €500 million, designating the agreement as a fair value hedge of our Euro denominated notes. On December 12, 2022 the currency forward agreement matured.
Effectiveness of derivatives designated as fair value hedges is assessed using the spot method. The changes in the fair value of these derivatives due to movements in spot exchange rates are recorded in Selling, general and administrative Expenses. Changes in the fair value of the 2.250% Senior Notes of €500 million related to spot exchange rates are also recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Changes in the spot-forward differential and counterparty non-performance risk of the derivatives are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and will be recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL"). Amounts in AOCL are recognized in earnings, specifically Interest expense, using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument.
The table below presents the effect of our derivative financial instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements and Statements of Comprehensive Income. Items in the table below reflect changes in "Other comprehensive loss" ("OCL") within the Statements of Comprehensive Income:

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017, $32023, $1 million of net gainslosses on cash flow hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months. The ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge is recognized immediately in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements and was not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, no gains or losses on the net investment hedges are expected to be reclassified into earnings over their duration. The net investment hedges did not experience any ineffectiveness for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.
The fair values of our derivative assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs and are determined through the use of models th atthat consider various assumptions including yield curves, time value and other measurements.

Note 17.18. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in legal and regulatory proceedings that are incidental to the operation of our businesses (or the business operations of previously-owned entities). These proceedings may seek remedies relating to matters including acquisitions and divestitures,environmental, tax, intellectual property, matters,acquisitions or divestitures, product liability, andproperty damage, personal injury, claims,privacy, employment, labor and pension, matters, government contract issues and commercial contractor contractual disputes.

From time to time claims may be asserted against Xylem alleging injury caused by anySee Note 6, "Income Taxes," of our products resulting from asbestos exposure. We believe there are numerous legal defenses availablecondensed consolidated financial statements for such claims and would defend ourselves vigorously. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement among ITT Corporation (now ITT LLC), Exelis and Xylem, ITT Corporation (now ITT LLC) has an obligation to indemnify, defend and hold Xylem harmless for asbestos product liability matters, including settlements, judgments, and legal defense costs associated with alla description of a pending and future claims that may arise from past sales of ITT’s legacy products. We believe ITT Corporation (now ITT LLC) remains a substantial entity with sufficient financial resources to honor its obligations to us.tax litigation matter.
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 expectbelieve it is reasonably possible that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, or financial condition. We have estimated and accrued $10$12 million and $11$5 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, respectively, for these general litigationlegal matters.
Indemnifications
As part of our 2011 spin-off from our former parent, ITT Corporation (now ITT LLC), Exelis Inc. and Xylem will indemnify, defend and hold harmless 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. The former parent’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 October 31, 2011, 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 expect to be indemnified by the former parent or Exelis Inc. 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. On May 29, 2015, Harris Inc. acquired Exelis.  As the parent of Exelis, Harris Inc. is responsible for Exelis’s indemnification obligations under the Distribution Agreement.
32


Guarantees
We obtain certain stand-by letters of credit, bank guarantees, and surety bonds and insurance letters of credit from third-party financial institutions in the ordinary course of business when required under contracts or to satisfy insurance relatedinsurance-related requirements. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, the amount of surety bonds, bank guarantees, insurance letters of credit, stand-by letters of credit bankas well as revenue and customs guarantees and surety bonds was $235$716 million and $218$451 million, respectively.
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 theour 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 $4 million and $4 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016, respectively,2022 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. We believe the total amount accrued is reasonable based on existing facts and circumstances.
Warranties
We warrant numerous products, the terms of which vary widely. In general, we warrant products against defect and specific non-performance. The table below provides the changes in ourthe combined current and non-current product warranty accrual, which for 2017 includes warranty related to the Sensus acquisition.accruals over each period:

Overview
Xylem is a leading global water technology company. We design, manufacture and service highly engineered products and solutions ranging across a wide variety of critical applications.applications in utility, industrial, residential and commercial building solutions settings. Our broad portfolio of solutions addresses customer needs of scarcity, resilience, and affordability across the water cycle, from the delivery, measurement and use of drinking water to the collection, test, treatment and treatmentanalysis of wastewater to the return of water to the environment. Our product and service offerings are organized into threefour reportable segments that are aligned around the critical market applications they provide: Water Infrastructure, Applied Water, and Measurement & Control Solutions (formerly Sensusand Integrated Solutions & Analytics).Services.
As previously announced, in the second quarter of 2017 we implemented an organizational redesign by moving Xylem’s Analytics business from our Water Infrastructure business to combining it with our Sensus business, which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016, to form Measurement & Control Solutions. We believe that the combination of these businesses will enhance our focus on advanced sensing technologies and will lead to operating efficiencies by integrating the supply chain process and moving to a leaner functional structure.

 Accordingly, our reportable segments have changed. Beginning with the second quarter of 2017, the Company now reports the financial position and results of operations of its Analytics and Sensus businesses as one new reportable segment, which is called Measurement & Control Solutions . Our Water Infrastructure reportable segment no longer includes the results of our Analytics business. The Company has recast certain historical amounts between the Company's Water Infrastructure and Measurement & Control Solutions reportable segments, however this change had no impact on the Company's historical consolidated financial position or results of operations. The recast financial information does not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements. Our Applied Water reportable segment remains unchanged.
Water Infrastructure serves the water 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 and storm water to treatment facilities where our mixers, biological treatment, monitoring and control systems provide the primary functions in the treatment process. We also provide sales and rental of specialty dewatering pumps and related equipment and services. Additionally, our offerings use monitoring and control, smart and connected technologies to allow for remote monitoring of performance and enable products to self-optimize pump operations maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing unplanned downtime and maintenance for our customers. In the Water Infrastructure segment, we provide the majority of our sales directly to customers along with strong applications expertise, while the remaining amount is through distribution partners.
The Water Infrastructure segment also includes legacy-Evoqua's Applied Product Technologies (APT) segment. APT provides a range of highly differentiated and scalable products and technologies with product offerings in the filtration and separation, disinfection, wastewater solutions, anode and electrochlorination technology, and aquatics technologies and solutions spaces.
Applied Water serves the water 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 servicessolutions 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 provideprocessing, as well as boosting systems for farming irrigation and pumps for dairy operations.agricultural irrigation. In the Applied Water segment, we provide the majority of our sales through long-standing relationships with many of the leading independent distributors in the markets we serve, with the remainder going directly to customers.
Measurement & Control Solutionsprimarilyserves the utility infrastructure solutions and services sector by delivering communications, smart metering, measurement and control technologiescapabilities and servicescritical infrastructure technologies that allow customers to more effectively use their distribution networks for the delivery, monitoring and control of critical resources such as water, electricity and natural gas.

Evoqua Acquisition
On May 24, 2023, Xylem completed the acquisition of Evoqua. Commencing from the acquisition date, Xylem’s financial statements include the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of Evoqua. Refer to Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," for additional information.
Coinciding with the Evoqua acquisition, Xylem has updated our adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per share to add back non-cash purchase accounting intangible amortization and recast 2022 amounts to reflect the change on a comparative basis.
Executive Summary
Xylem reported revenue for the thirdsecond quarter of 20172023 of $1,195$1,722 million, an increase of 33.2%26.2% compared to $897$1,364 million reported in the thirdsecond quarter of 2016. On a constant2022. The revenue increase consisted of strong organic growth of 14.6%, driven by strong revenue performance across the segments and in all of our major geographic regions, and increased revenue from the Evoqua acquisition of 13.0%, which was marginally offset by currency basis, revenuetranslation headwinds of 1.4%.
We generated operating income of $119 million (margin of 6.9%) during the second quarter of 2023, as compared to $146 million (margin of 10.7%) in 2022. Operating income in the second quarter of 2023 included an increase in special charges of $66 million and an unfavorable impact from increased 30.8% mostly duerestructuring and realignment costs of $29 million and an unfavorable increase to $234intangible amortization from acquisitions of $18 million of revenue relatedas compared to the Sensus business acquisition and organic revenue growth of $44 million driven by growth in all end markets.
Operating income for the thirdsecond quarter of 20172022. Excluding the impact of special charges, restructuring and realignment costs and intangible amortization from acquisitions, adjusted operating income was $152$259 million reflecting an increase(adjusted margin of 39.4%15.0%) during the second quarter of 2023 as compared to $109$173 million (adjusted margin of 12.7%) in the third quarter of 2016. Operating margin was 12.7% for 2017 versus 12.2% for 2016, an increase of 50 basis points.2022. The increase in adjusted operating margin was primarily due to cost reductions resulting from progress in our global procurement andprice realization, productivity initiatives, restructuring savings and a decrease in Sensus acquisition related costs and restructuring and realignment charges.favorable volume. These favorable impacts on operating margin were largely offset by cost inflation increases, Sensus purchase accounting impacts and special charges.
Adjusted operating income was $169 million with an operating margin of 14.1% in 2017 as compared to adjusted operating income of $131 million with an adjusted operating margin of 14.6% in the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in adjusted operating margin was mostly due to cost inflation increases and Sensus purchase accounting impacts which were partially offset by cost reductions resulting from progress in our global procurementinflation, spending on strategic investments, unfavorable mix, and productivity initiatives and restructuring savings. The non-cash Sensus purchase accounting impact on adjusted operating margin for the quarter was 70 basis points, which if excluded would bring the adjusted operating margin to 14.8%, a 20 basis point increase over the prior year.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, gross margin,margins, segment operating income and margins, earnings per share,free cash flow, orders growth, working capital and backlog, among others. In addition, we consider certain non-GAAP (or “adjusted”"adjusted") 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, acquisitions, share repurchases and debt repayment. Excluding revenue, Xylem provides guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting certain amounts that would be included in GAAP earnings, such as discrete tax items, without unreasonable effort. These adjusted metrics are consistent with how management views our business and are used to make financial, operating and planning decisions. These metrics, however, are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered a substitute for revenue, operating income, net income, earnings per share (basic and diluted) or net cash from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. We consider the following non-GAAP measures whichto be key performance indicators, as well as the related reconciling items to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titledsimilarly-titled measures reported by other companies, to be key performance indicators:companies.

2017 Outlook
We anticipateare updating our total revenue growth to approximately 30%, and organic revenue growth to be in the range of 24%9% to 25%10% in 2017 with organic revenue growth in the low-single-digits and the Sensus acquisition contributing most of the additional revenue growth.2023. The following is a summary of our organic revenue performance and the organic revenue outlook by end market.
Industrial marketUtilities revenue was up low-single-digitsincreased by approximately 20% through the first half of the year on an organic basis through the third quarter. We expect oil and gas and mining markets to stabilize in North America through the balance of the year, and we expect market conditions in the United States to improve modestly throughoutdriven by strength across all major geographic regions. For the remainder of the year. As a result,2023, we expect organic revenue of low-single-digits for 2017.
Public utility revenue declined slightly through the September on an organic basis, primarily due to a difficult comparison to double-digit growth in the United States in the prior year.  Wenow expect organic revenue growth in the low-single-digits for 2017 with project activity fuelingmid teens. On the clean water side, we anticipate growth from the conversion of our resilient backlog due to continued improvement in chip supply. Additionally, we expect strong order momentum from smart water demand. We expect wastewater utilities to remain focused on mission-critical applications in wastewater. Long-term capital expenditure outlook is strong due to aging infrastructure and the emerging markets, primarily in China and India. We also anticipatemarkets’ continued advancement.
Industrial revenue from Sensus to contribute mid-single-digit growth over their historical performance,increased by approximately 12% through the first half of the year on an organic basis driven by expected project deployments and traction from new products. On a pro forma basis that includes Sensus,strength across all major geographic regions. For 2023, we continue to expect organic revenue growth of low to mid-single-digits for 2017.in the mid-single-digits. We anticipate resilient demand across most industrials. In light and general industry, we are seeing sustained demand globally, through resilient, recurring service revenue and healthy dewatering demand.
In the commercialbuilding solutions markets, organic growth wasrevenue increased by approximately 5%13% through the September, primarilyfirst half of the year on an organic basis driven by growthstrength in the United States. In 2017U.S. and western Europe. For the remainder of 2023, we expect organic revenue growth in the mid-single-digit range as we seemid-single-digits. In the United Statescommercial market, continuing to be strong while the European market is experiencing growth related to new energy efficient products and sales channel investments.
In residential markets, organic growth was into the low-double-digits through the third quarter primarily driven by strength in the United States and Asia Pacific. In 2017 we expect full year organic revenue performance will be upresilient demand for energy efficiency related projects, particularly in the high-single-digits.Europe. We continue to expectmonitor new construction, a smaller portion of our portfolio, for signs of moderation. In the United States market to be competitive given the replacement nature of the sector we serve. We expect growth from the Europeanresidential market, which looksare predominantly driven by solid replacement revenue serviced through our distribution network, we are continuing to be modestly stronger as increased residential building permitting provides an indicator of sales. Additionally, we expect to benefit fromexperience market share gains from channel disruption throughoutsoftness, particularly in the remainder of the year.U.S.
We will continue to strategically execute restructuring and realignment actions primarily to reposition our European and North American business in an effort to advance our integration of Evoqua, optimize our cost structure, and improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness.effectiveness, strengthen our competitive positioning and better serve our customers. During 2017,2023, we expect to incur approximately $50$90 million to $95 million in restructuring and realignment costs, as well as Sensus acquisition related costs. We expect to realize approximately $20 million of


incremental net savings in 2017 from actions initiated in 2016, and an additional $6 million of net savings from our 2017 actions.

Additional strategic actions we are taking include strategic initiatives to drive above-market growth, advance continuous improvement activities to increase productivity, focus on improving cash performance and drive a disciplined capital deployment strategy. Additionally, with the acquisition of Sensus, we anticipate increased spending on research and development as a percentage of revenue as Sensus brings a higher profile of R&D given the investment required to support growth and new product launches.

On a constant currency basis, revenue grew 30.8%27.6% and 28.3%22.7% for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, respectively. These increases in revenue were primarily driven2023. Revenue growth contributed by an additional $234 million and $715 million, respectively, of revenue from the businesses acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016. Organic revenue increased from the prior year by $44 million and $47acquisitions was $178 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023 and organic revenue increased $199 million and $420 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, partially offset by negative impacts from foreign currency translation of $19 million and $64 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. TheseThe increases reflect strong organic growth across all of our segments and in emerging marketsall of our major geographic regions for both periods, particularly in Asia Pacific, as well as strength in North America for both periods. There was also organic growth in the quarter for western Europe; however, this region had slight organic declines year-to-date, driven by the United Kingdom.

The Integration Solutions & Services segment contributed total orders of $163 million for the three and China.six months ended June 30, 2023. See Note 3, "Acquisitions and Divestitures," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Backlog
Backlog includes orders on hand as well as contractual customer agreements at the end of the period. Delivery schedules vary from customer to customer based on their requirements. Annual or multi-year contracts are subject to rescheduling and cancellation by customers due to the long-term nature of the contracts. As such, beginning total backlog, plus orders, minus revenues, will not equal ending total backlog due to contract adjustments, foreign currency fluctuations, and other factors. Typically, large projects require longer lead production cycles and deployment schedules and delays can occur from time to time. Total backlog was $1,556$5,271 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, an increase of $781$1,514 million or 100.8%40.3%, as compared to SeptemberJune 30, 2016, which did not include the Sensus acquisition,2022 backlog of $3,757 million, and an increase of $264$1,666 million or 20.4%46.2%, as compared to December 31, 20162022 backlog of $1,292 million. The December 31, 2016 backlog balance has been revised to include contractual agreements that Sensus has with customers that do not have minimum commitments but which we believe will be executed upon over$3,605 million, driven by the terms oforder intake in the contracts.quarter outpacing revenue. We anticipate that approximately 40%39% of the backlog at SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 will be recognized as revenue in the remainder of 2017.2023. There were no significant order cancellations during the quarter.

SG&A expenses increased by $51$132 million to $270$446 million, or 22.6%25.9% of revenue, in the thirdsecond quarter of 2017,2023, as compared to $219$314 million, or 24.4%23.0% of revenue, in the comparable 20162022 period; and increased by $147$182 million to $812$800 million, or 23.7%25.2% of revenue, in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, as compared to $665$618 million, or 24.9% of revenue for the nine months ended in 2016. The increases in SG&A expenses include approximately $49 million and $145 million of additional SG&A spending for the Sensus business, respectively. Additionally we have incurred Sensus acquisition related costs of $5 million and $19 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively versus $10 million in both comparative prior year periods. Excluding these impacts, SG&A expenses increased by $7 million over the three months as inflation increases, spending on strategic investments and negative currency impacts were only partially offset by savings from restructuring actions and global procurement and continuous improvement initiatives. For the nine month period, excluding the the Sensus acquisition impacts, SG&A expenses decreased by $7 million as savings from global procurement and continuous improvement initiatives and restructuring actions more than offset inflation increases and spending on strategic investments.
Research and Development Expenses
R&D spending was $45 million or 3.8% of revenue in the third quarter of 2017 as compared to $23 million or 2.6%23.4% of revenue, in the comparable period2022 period. Increases in SG&A in the second quarter of 2016;2023 as compared to the prior year primarily consisted of increased restructuring and realignment costs of $29 million, increased special charges of $51 million, $34 million of additional SG&A from the acquisition and $13 million of inflation. Increases in SG&A in the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year were driven by increased restructuring and realignment costs of $36 million, an increase of $74 million in special charges, $34 million of additional SG&A from the acquisition and $27 million of inflation.
Research and Development ("R&D") Expenses
R&D expense was $131$58 million, or 3.8%3.4% of revenue, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017second quarter of 2023, as compared to $75$53 million, or 2.8%3.9% of revenue in the second quarter of 2022; and was $111 million, or 3.5% of revenue, in the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $105 million, or 4.0% of revenue, in the comparable period of 2016.2022 period. The R&D spend has remained fairly consistent year over year with a small increase in R&D spending forexpense as a result of less R&D being captialized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily duecurrent year as compared to higher rates of investment in new products and technology, primarily within our most recently acquired Sensus business, and to drive revenue growth synergies between Xylem and the Sensus business.prior year.

Additionally, the Euro continued to strengthen as compared to the U.S. Dollar year over year for the quarter, which was partially mitigated by the Euro movement on the Company's net investment hedge during the same period. The tax impact on the foreign currency translation related to the net investment hedge also contributed to the year over year increase.

The year-over-year increasereduction in cash provided was primarily driven by increasedhigher tax payments, the investment in a distribution agreement of select technology and the payment of transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Evoqua. Reductions in inventory levels and higher cash from the operating activities of the Sensus business acquired in the fourth quarter of 2016. This increase wasearnings partially offset by increased use of working capital as well as increased payments for restructuring charges and interest as compared to the prior year.these items.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $122$489 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 as compared to $155 million in the comparable prior year period. This decrease was mainly driven by the $70 million spent on the acquisition of Tideland Signal Corporation during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 versus the $16 million spent for acquisitions in 2017. Additionally, we received $10 million of proceeds from the sale of a business we divested in the first quarter of 2017, which was offset by increased spending of $29 million over the prior year on capital projects, including spending on capitalized software in the Sensus business.
Financing Activities
Cash used by financing activities was $299 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to cash used of $150$84 million in the comparable prior year period. The net increase in cash used reflects payments related to the acquisition of Evoqua, cash paid for equity investments and increased capital expenditures. The sale of a business and cash received from the termination of acquired interest rate swaps partially offset these items.
Financing Activities
Cash generated by financing activities was $235 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to cash used of $158 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in cash provided was primarily driven by increasescash received from a new term loan facility, the issuance of commercial paper, a reduction in stock repurchases and proceeds for the exercise of employee stock options. Higher dividend payments partially offset these cash used for repayment of debt, net of debt issuance proceeds in the prior year, increases in share repurchase activity of $22 million to offset dilution, reductions to proceeds from stock option exercises of $14 million, and an increase in dividends paid of $13 million.inflows.
Funding and Liquidity Strategy
Our ability to fund our capital needs depends on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and access to bank financing and the capital markets. Historically, we have generated operating cash flow sufficient to fundWe continually evaluate aspects of our primary cash needs centered on operating activities, working capital,spending, including capital expenditures, strategic investments and strategic investments. dividends.
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 such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or that such financing will be available at all. Our securities are rated investment grade. A significant change in credit rating could impact our ability to borrow at favorable rates. Refer to Note 12, "Credit Facilities and Debt", of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of limitations on obtaining additional funding.
We monitor our global funding requirements and seek to meet our liquidity needs on a cost effectivecost-effective basis. Based on our current global cash positions, cash flows from operations and access to the commercial paper markets, we believe there is sufficient liquidity to meet our funding requirements. In addition, our existing committed credit facilities and access to the public debt markets would provide further liquidity if required.

Credit Facilities & Long-Term Contractual Commitments
See Note 12, "Credit Facilities and Debt"Debt," of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of our credit facilities and long-term debt.
Non-U.S. Operations
We generated approximately 53%49% and 54% of our revenue from non-U.S. operations for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and 59% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.2022, respectively. As we continue to grow our operations in the emerging markets and elsewhere outside of the United States,U.S., we expect to continue to generate significant revenue from non-U.S. operations and we expect that a substantial portion of 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 we believe it is cost effectivecost-effective to do so. We continually review our domestic and foreign cash profile and our, expected future cash generation and investment opportunities, which support our current designation of a portion 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 of June 30, 2023, we have provided a deferred tax liability of $22 million for net foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes on $650 million of earnings expected to be repatriated to the U.S. parent as a result of our review, it is determined that all or a portion of the funds may be needed for our operationsdeemed necessary in the United States, we may be required to accrue additional U.S. taxes.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and capital resources are based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated 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 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 20162022 Annual Report describes the critical accounting estimates used in preparation of the condensed consolidated 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 20162022 Annual Report.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2, "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a complete discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. We are currently evaluating the impact of certain recently issued guidance on our financial condition and results of operations in future periods.

ITEM 1A.           RISK FACTORS
There have been noInformation regarding our risk factors appears in Item 1A. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023 (“Annual Report”). These risk factors describe some of the assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. In addition, the following risk factors represent material changes from thein our risk factors previouslyfrom those disclosed in Item 1A. of our2016 Annual Report.


Wastewater treatment operations and the handling, storage, release or disposal of hazardous materials may result in contamination, environmental or other liabilities or pose other significant risks that could cause us to incur significant costs and reputational harm.

Wastewater treatment involves various unique risks. If our treatment systems fail or do not operate properly, or if there is a spill, untreated or partially treated wastewater could discharge onto property or into nearby bodies of water and groundwater, causing various damages and injuries, including environmental. Liabilities resulting from such events, damages and injuries could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

Furthermore, certain of our business activities, including those of our ISS segment, include manufacturing processes and waste recycling and treatment processes that currently involve the use, treatment, storage, transfer, handling and/or disposal of hazardous materials, chemicals, and wastes. These business activities create a risk of accidental contamination or injury to our employees, customers and other third parties, the general public (as end-users of our industrial and municipal customers’ products and services), and the environment. As such, these activities create a risk of significant legal and environmental liabilities and reputational damage. For example, under applicable environmental laws and regulations, including RCRA and CERCLA, we could be strictly, jointly, and severally liable for releases of regulated substances by us at our current or former properties or the properties of others or by other businesses that previously owned or used our current or former properties. We could also be liable or incur reputational damage if we merely generate hazardous materials or wastes, or arrange for their transportation, disposal, or treatment, or we transport such materials, and they are subsequently released or cause harm.

In the event that our business activities and wastewater treatment operations result in legal or environmental claims, damage or liabilities, including those described above, we could incur significant costs or reputational damage in connection with legal defense, investigation and remediation of environmental contamination, and damages related to property damage, personal injuries and natural resources. Such costs and liabilities could exceed any applicable insurance coverage we may have.

Additionally, we are subject to, on an ongoing basis, federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous materials and specified waste products. The cost of compliance with these laws and regulations may become significant and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.

If we are unable to successfully execute large projects and meet customers’ timelines and performance and safety requirements, this could have a material adverse effect on our sales and profitability.

A portion of our revenue is derived from large projects that are technically complex and may occur over multiple years. These projects are subject to a number of significant risks, including project delays, cost overruns, changes

in scope, unanticipated site conditions, design and engineering issues, incorrect cost assumptions, increases in the cost of materials and labor, health and safety hazards, subcontractor performance issues, weather issues and changes in laws or permitting requirements. If we are unable to manage these risks, we may incur higher costs, liquidated damages, and other liabilities to our customers, which may decrease our profitability and harm our reputation.

Furthermore, our project-based customers typically require performance guarantees as to the effluent water produced by our water treatment equipment and services. Failure of our products and services to meet our performance guarantees may increase costs by requiring additional engineering, replacement of parts and equipment and frequent replacement of consumables, or monetary reimbursement to a customer, and could otherwise result in liability to our customers. There are significant uncertainties and judgments involved in estimating performance guarantee obligations, including changing product designs, differences in customer installation processes and failure to identify or disclaim certain variables in a customer’s influent. To the extent that we incur substantial performance guarantee claims in any period, our reputation, earnings, and ability to obtain future business could be materially adversely affected.

Many of our customers also have safety performance requirements that we must meet in order to be allowed access to their sites to perform our services, install our products and execute projects. Risks arising from unsafe products or performance by our employees include, among other things, delays in or suspension of site access to service or timely deliver our products. Workplace accidents or near-accidents, product-related accidents, or the failure to follow our own or our customers’ safety policies could also damage our reputation or our customers’ perception of our safety record, which could have a material adverse impact on demand for our products and services, result in additional costs to our business or the loss of customers, result in litigation against us or increase government or regulatory oversight over us.
