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

Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
Xylem Inc. (“Xylem” or the “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 operates in 3 segments, Water Infrastructure, Applied Water and Measurement & Control Solutions. See Note 17, "Segment Information", to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further segment 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.
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 statement 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, 20202021 ("20202021 Annual Report") in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our 20202021 Annual Report.
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, post-retirement obligations and assets, revenue recognition, income taxes, valuation of intangible assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment testing and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") disease in March 2020, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, has created significant global volatility, uncertainty and economicmacroeconomic disruption. The COVID-19 pandemic also has caused increased uncertainty in estimates and assumptions affecting the condensed consolidated financial statements. 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.

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, 2021,March 31, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied for contracts with performance obligations, amount to $438$379 million. 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 Water Infrastructure and Measurement & Control Solutions actions commenced in 2021 consist primarily of severance charges. These actions are expected to continue through the second quarterend of 2022.
The Water Infrastructure, Applied Water, and Measurement & Control Solutions actions commenced in 2020 consist primarily of severance charges across segments and asset impairment charges in our Measurement & Control Solutions segment. These actions are expected to continue through the second quarter of 2022.
During the second quarter of 2020 the discontinuance of a product line resulted in $17 million of asset impairments, primarily related to customer relationships, trademarks and fixed assets within our Measurement & Control Solutions segment.
Asset Impairment
During the second quarter of 2020 we determined that internally developed in-process software within our Measurement & Control Solutions segment was impaired as a result of actions taken to prioritize strategic investments. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment charge of $10 million. Refer to Note 7, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for additional information.

Note 4. Income Taxes
Our quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within periods presented. The comparison of our effective tax rate between periods is significantly impacted by the level and mix of earnings and losses by tax jurisdiction and discrete items.
The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was $25$16 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.5%16.4%, compared to a $4$27 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 10.9%23.3% for the same period in 2020. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $52 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.7%, compared to an $8 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 10.4% for the same period in 2020.2021. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periodsthree-month period ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to favorable earnings mix and tax settlement benefits, partially offset by the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI") inclusion. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 differ from the same periods in 2020 due to unfavorable earnings mix as compared to the prior year and favorable equity compensation deductions in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 differs from the same period in 2020 due to the impact of tax settlements in the current period.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits
During 2019, Xylem’s Swedish subsidiary received a tax assessment for the 2013 tax year 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. The assessment asserts an aggregate amount of approximately $80 million for tax, penalties and interest. Xylem filed an appeal with the Administrative Court of Stockholm. Management, in consultation with external legal advisors, believes it is more likely than not that Xylem will prevail on the proposed assessment and is vigorously defending our position through litigation.litigation; however, there can be no assurance that any final determination by the authorities will not be materially different than our position. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we have not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits related to this uncertain tax position.

(b)Incremental shares from stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units are computed by the treasury stock method. The weighted average shares listed below were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented or were otherwise excluded under the treasury stock method. The treasury stock method calculates dilution assuming the exercise of all in-the-money options and vesting of restricted stock units and performance share units, reduced by the repurchase of shares with the proceeds from the assumed exercises and unrecognized compensation expense for outstanding awards. Performance share units will be included in the treasury stock calculation of diluted earnings per share upon achievement of underlying performance or market conditions at the end of the reporting period. See Note 13, "Share-Based Compensation Plans", to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail on the performance share units.

Note 8. 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.
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 relate to the Euro, Swedish Krona, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Polish Zloty and Australian Dollar. We had foreign exchange contracts with purchased notional amounts totaling $270$457 million and $0$301 million as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, our most significant foreign currency derivatives included contracts to sell U.S. Dollar and purchase Euro, purchase Swedish Krona and sell Euro, sell British Pound and purchase Euro, purchase Polish Zlotysell Canadian Dollar and sellpurchase Euro, purchase U.S. Dollar and sell Canadian Dollar, and to sell CanadianAustralian Dollar and purchase Euro, and to purchase Polish Zloty and sell Euro. The purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives are $97$186 million, $140 million, $49 million, $23 million, $22 million, $20 million and $17 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 the purchased notional amounts associated with these currency derivatives are $130 million, $88 million, $36$31 million, $14 million, $14 million, $13 million and $12$11 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-Currency Swaps
Beginning in 2015, we entered into cross-currency swaps to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. During the second quarter of 2019 and third quarter of 2020 we entered into additional cross-currency swaps. The total notional amount of derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges was $1,208$1,135 million and $1,249$1,151 million as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, 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 designated the entirety of the outstanding balance, or $591$556 million and $610$563 million as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, net of unamortized discount, as a hedge of a net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries.

Credit Facilities
2019 Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility
On March 5, 2019, Xylem entered into a Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility (the “2019 Credit Facility”) with Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The 2019 Credit Facility provides for an aggregate principal amount of up to $800 million (available in U.S. Dollars and in Euros), with increases of up to $200 million for a maximum aggregate principal amount of $1 billion at the request of Xylem and with the consent of the institutions providing such increased commitments.
Interest on all loans under the 2019 Credit Facility is payable either quarterly or at the expiration of any LIBOR or EURIBOR interest period applicable thereto. Borrowings accrue interest at a rate equal to, at Xylem's election, a base rate or an adjusted LIBOR or EURIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. The 2019 Credit Facility includes customary provisions for implementation of replacement rates for LIBOR-based and EURIBOR-based loans. The 2019 Credit Facility also includes a pricing grid that determines the applicable margin based on Xylem's credit rating, with a further adjustment depending on Xylem's annual Sustainalytics Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") score, determined based on the methodology in effect as of March 5, 2019. Xylem will also pay quarterly fees to each lender for such lender’s commitment to lend accruing on such commitment at a rate based on our credit rating, whether such commitment is used or unused, as well as a quarterly letter of credit fee accruing on the letter of credit exposure of such lender during the preceding quarter at a rate based on the credit rating of Xylem (as adjusted for the ESG score). 
The 2019 Credit Facility requires that Xylem maintain a consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio (or maximum leverage ratio), which will be based on the last four fiscal quarters; and in addition contains a number of customary covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of secured debt and debt of subsidiaries, liens, sale and lease-back transactions, mergers, consolidations, liquidations, dissolutions and sales of assets. The 2019 Credit Facility also contains customary events of default. Finally, Xylem has the ability to designate subsidiaries that can borrow under the 2019 Credit Facility, subject to certain requirements and conditions set forth in the 2019 Credit Facility. 
18


On June 22, 2020, Xylem entered into Amendment No. 1 to the 2019 Credit Facility (the "Amendment") which modified the financial covenant from a test based on the maximum leverage ratio (defined as consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA) to a test based on the net leverage ratio (defined as consolidated total debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA). This modification is effective through the quarter ending September 30, 2021, after which the covenant will revert back to the prior maximum leverage ratio test. The Amendment also restricted stock repurchases untilAs of March 31, 2021, except for shares of common stock in an amount not to exceed the number of shares issued after the date of the Amendment, subject to customary exceptions. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the 2019 Credit Facility was undrawn and we are in compliance with all revolver covenants.

Stock Option Fair Value
The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the binomial lattice pricing model which incorporates multiple and variable assumptions over time, including assumptions such as employee exercise patterns, stock price volatility and changes in dividends. The following are weighted-average assumptions for 20212022 grants:
Volatility26.3026.20 %
Risk-free interest rate0.861.59 %
Dividend yield1.101.38 %
Expected term (in years)5.75.6
Weighted-average fair value / share$23.2019.86 
Expected volatility is calculated based on an analysis of historic volatility measures for Xylem. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination behavior within the valuation model. Employee groups and option characteristics are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term represents an estimate of the period of time options are expected to remain outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of option grant.

Note 16. 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 environmental, tax, intellectual property, acquisitions or divestitures, product liability, property damage, personal injury, privacy, employment, labor and pension, government contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes.
From time to time, claims may be asserted against Xylem alleging injury caused by any of our products resulting from asbestos exposure. We believe there are numerous legal defenses available for such claims and would defend ourselves vigorously. Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement among ITT Corporation (now ITT LLC; acquired by Delticus HoldCo, L.P., a portfolio company of Warburg Pincus LLC, on July 1, 2021), Exelis (acquired by Harris Corporation, now L3Harris Technologies, Inc.) and Xylem, 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 all pending and future claims that may arise from past sales of ITT’s legacy products. We believe ITT LLC remains a substantial entity with sufficient financial resources to honor its obligations to us.

See Note 4, "Income Taxes", of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of a pending tax litigation matter.
23


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 believe 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 $5 million and $6$4 million as of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020, respectively,2021 for these general legal matters.
Indemnifications
As part of our 2011 spin-off from our former parent, ITT Corporation (now ITT LLC; acquired by Delticus HoldCo, L.P., a portfolio company of Warburg Pincus LLC, on July 1, 2021), Exelis Inc. (acquired by Harris Corporation, now L3Harris Technologies, 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. ITT LLC'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.
Guarantees
We obtain certain stand-by letters of credit, bank guarantees, 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-related requirements. As of June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the amount of surety bonds, bank guarantees, insurance letters of credit, and stand-by letters of credit as well as revenue and customs guarantees was $410$431 million and $378$415 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 our 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 millionand$3 million as of both June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 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.

In the Measurement & Control Solutions segment, we generate our sales through a combination of long-standing relationships with leading distributors and dedicated channel partners, as well as direct sales depending on the regional availability of distribution channels and the type of product.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update
Depending onGiven the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences, we anticipate that it willhas become more difficult to distinguish specific aspects of our operational and financial performance that are most directly related to the pandemic from those more broadly influenced by ongoing macroeconomic, market and industry dynamics that may be, to varying degrees, related to the pandemic and its consequences.
The COVID-19 pandemic as well as broader market dynamics
Our markets and operations have adversely affected, and are expected to continue to adversely affect, our supply chains. Welargely demonstrated resilience against the effects of the pandemic. However, we have experienced, and expect to continue experiencing shortages in the supply of components, including electronics, particularly semiconductors ("chips"), parts and raw materials,materials. To counteract these impacts, we are taking various actions, including building inventory to support backlog execution and redesigning our products. We expect chip supply to improve in some cases, unpredictable interruptions with our external supplierseach successive quarter in 2021.2022. We have also experienced, increased logistics costs related to the current global capacity shortages. Weand continue to enhance our supplier pulsing and redundancy to help mitigate these challenges. Additionally, we have in the past and may continue to take measures with respect to buffer stock or use of alternative suppliers to mitigate the impacts ofexperience, increased inflation, freight and logistics delayscosts, and bolster our access to raw materials and components. If these shortages and interruptions are sustained, or if additional interruptions occur, they could have a negative impact on our results of operations. Our current overall operating capacity approximates normal levels globally.engaging in various mitigation strategies, including enhanced price realization efforts.

Xylem Watermark, our corporate social responsibility program, continues to support our communities in addressing the challenges posed by this global pandemic through its partnership with Americares and UNICEF, as well as the Partner Community Grants program and matching donations program for employees and partners, and other philanthropic commitments.
Xylem continues to focus on the health and safety of our employees, working with our customers to help them minimize potential disruptions and positively impact our communities. Our support pay program for employees impacted by COVID-19 will remain in place into the fourth quarter of 2021 and is evaluated for continuation, as necessary.
Many of our offices globally remain in a substantially remote work from home status and our COVID-19 Response Team applies a set of Xylem "Return to Workplace" health and safety guidelines for remote workers to return to our facilities.
We continue to assess the evolving nature of the pandemic and its possible implications to our business, employees, supply chain, customers and communities, and to take appropriate actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences.

Risk related to the impact of COVID-19 as well as our supply chain and macroeconomic issues, including inflation, are described in further detail under "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's 20202021 Annual Report.
Executive Summary
Xylem reported revenue for the secondfirst quarter of 20212022 of $1,351$1,272 million, an increase of 16.5%1.3% compared to $1,160$1,256 million reported in the secondfirst quarter of 2020.2021. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased by $125$49 million, or 10.8%3.9%, driven by organic revenue growth across allin the Applied Water and Water Infrastructure segments, partially offset by organic declines in Measurement & Control Solutions. These results were driven by organic growth in the industrial, commercial and residential end markets, partially offset by organic declines in all end markets.utilities as expected due to the impact of chip availability.
We generated operating income of $160$111 million (margin of 11.8%8.7%) during the secondfirst quarter of 2021,2022, as compared to $54$133 million (margin of 4.7%10.6%) in 2020.2021. Operating income in the secondfirst quarter of 20212022 benefited from a decrease in restructuring and realignment costs of $37$4 million as compared to the secondfirst quarter of 20202021 and a decrease in special charges of $11 million incurred during 2020 that did not recur.$1 million. Excluding the impact of these items, adjusted operating income was $166$116 million (adjusted margin of 12.3%9.1%) during the secondfirst quarter of 20212022 as compared to $108$143 million (adjusted margin of 9.3%11.4%) in 2020.2021. The increasedecrease in adjusted operating margin was primarily due to cost reductions from our productivity, restructuringinflation and otherincreased logistics cost, saving initiatives and favorable volume, impacted by COVID-19 recovery.as well as increased spending on strategic investments. These impacts were partially offset by improved price realization and cost inflationreductions from our productivity and increased spending on strategic investments.other cost saving initiatives.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures
Management reviews key performance indicators including revenue, gross margins, segment operating income and operating income margins, free cash flow, orders growth, working capital and backlog, among others. In addition, we consider certain non-GAAP (or "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 items to represent the non-GAAP measures we consider to 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-titled measures reported by other companies.
"organic revenue" and "organic orders" defined as revenue and orders, respectively, excluding the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency translation and contributions from acquisitions and divestitures. Divestitures include sales or discontinuance of insignificant portions of our business that did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. The period-over-period change resulting from foreign currency translation impacts is determined by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate.
"constant currency" defined as financial results adjusted for foreign currency translation impacts by translating current period and prior period activity using the same currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar.
"adjusted net income" and "adjusted earnings per share" defined as net income and earnings per share, respectively, adjusted to exclude restructuring and realignment costs, special charges, gain or loss from sale of businesses and tax-related special items, as applicable. A reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share is provided below.

20212022 Outlook

We anticipate total revenue growth in the range of 8%1% to 10%3% in 2021,2022, with organic revenue growth anticipated to be in the range of 6%4% to 8%6%. The following is a summary of our organic revenue outlook by end markets:

Utilities revenue increaseddecreased by approximately 5% organically through3% in the first half ofquarter on an organic basis driven by weakness in the year drivenemerging markets and the United States, partially offset by strength in western Europe and the emerging markets, partially offset by weakness in North America.Europe. For 2021,2022, we expect organic revenue growth in the mid to high-single-digitlow-single-digit range, with continued resilience on the wastewater side, as utilities remain focused on mission-critical applications in wastewater; although we expect uneven growth from China and anticipate modest growth on a global basis throughIndia as multi-year government funding programs are deployed. On the year. Theclean water side, the timing of large clean water utility project deployments has been impacted by the global shortage of electronic components, which we expect to continue throughout the remainder of 2021.components. We anticipate that these deployments will ramp up when supply constraints gradually ease through 2022 based on our strong backlog position and orders momentum. Additionally, we can expect healthy momentum in the global test and treatment markets globally and increasedrising demand for our smart water solution and digital offerings.focus on pipeline assessment services.
Industrial revenue increased by approximately 15% organically through10% in the first half of the yearquarter on an organic basis driven by strength across all major geographic regions. For 2021,2022, we expect organic revenue growth in the high-single-digitmid-single-digit range as activity across all segments rebounds globally andon steady global demand. We continue to see healthy growth in our dewatering business, continues to recover, especially in the emerging markets from strong mining demand as well as sustained demand increases and site access restrictions continue to ease. We anticipate growth in duringlight industrial activity in the second half of the year led by North America, with growth in emerging marketsU.S. and western Europe as well.reflecting our strong orders and backlog.
In the commercial markets, organic revenue growth was approximately 8% throughin the first half of the yearquarter increased by approximately 11% driven by strength inthe U.S. and western Europe, North America and the emerging markets.Europe. For 2021,2022, we expect organic revenue growth in the midmid-single to high-single-digithigh-single digit range. We expect solid replacement business in the U.S. to be stable during the year and anticipate continued healthy activitynew production introductions. In Europe we can expect modest share gains, with demand for eco-friendly products supported by increase in Europe. We expect new construction activity in North America to be soft, however we are optimistic that conditions will begin to recover late in the year.funding for green buildings.
In the residential markets, organic revenue growth wasincreased by approximately 30% through15% in the first half of the yearquarter driven by strength in the U.S. with relatively flat growth in western Europe and the emerging markets, North America and western Europe.markets. This market is primarily driven by replacement revenue serviced through our distribution network. For 2021,2022, we expect organic revenue growth in the low-teens, driven bymid-single-digit range. We anticipate demand and activity to moderate and remain healthy demand activity from increased residential users in the U.S. and western Europe. Additionally, we anticipate strong demand in China for secondary water supply product applications.
We will continue to strategically execute restructuring and realignment actions in an effort to optimize our cost structure, improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness, strengthen our competitive positioning and better serve our customers. During 2021,2022, we expect to incur between $30approximately $25 million and $40$30 million in restructuring and realignment costs. We expect to realize between $35 million and $40 million of net savings in 2021, consisting of between $33 million and $35 million of incremental net savings from restructuring and realignment actions initiated in 2020, and between $2 million and $5 million of net savings from the restructuring, realignment and other structural cost actions initiated during this year.

Revenue benefited from $36was negatively impacted by $19 million of foreign currency translation, with the change at constant currency coming entirely from organic growth of $32$43 million. Organic growth for the quarter was driven by strength in both the industrial and utility end markets. The industrial end market particularlyhad organic growth across the emerging markets and, to a lesser extent,all major geographies, with particular strength in western Europe. OrganicEurope and Latin America. The utilities end market also experienced organic growth for the quarter was also drivenled by strength in the utility end market, primarily inU.S. and western Europe, where we sawbolstered by strong demand in utilities' operational spending coupled with recovery from prior year COVID-19 impacts.

From an application perspective, organic revenue growth for the secondfirst quarter was driven byattributable to our transport application. The transport application hadapplications reflecting strong revenue growth in western Europe from strong utility projects as well as dewatering growth and strength in the U.S., where we executed on a strong backlog and experienced solid price realization. Dewatering also had organic growth in emerging markets where the dewatering business in Latin America and Africa benefited from strong market conditions insaw robust mining duringdemand for the quarter and Asia Pacific had strongdewatering business. The treatment application was essentially flat, as revenue growth during the quarter, and in western Europe, where we had strong industrial and utility demand, positively impacted by COVID-19 recovery. Organic revenue growth from our transport application was partially offset by a modest decline in the treatment application, driven by the timing of project deliveries in the U.S. and western Europe was offset by the negative impact in China as compared toa result of the prior year.COVID lockdown in the last two weeks of the quarter.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021,Applied Water
Applied Water revenue increased $139$32 million, or 14.8% (8.4%8.1%, for the first quarter of 2022 (10.2% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Revenue benefited from $60 million of foreign currency translation during the six month period, with the change at constant currency coming entirely from organic growth of $79 million. Organic growth during the year was drivennegatively impacted by strength in the both the utility and industrial end markets. Strength in the utility end market was led by western Europe, where utilities' operational spending continues to be strong, and in the emerging markets, where China benefited from healthy order intake coming into the year. Organic growth in the industrial end market was particularly strong across the emerging markets, which included growth from the COVID-19 recovery in Latin America and healthy order intake in China and Africa, and in western Europe.
From an application perspective, organic revenue growth during the six month period was primarily driven by our transport application. The transport application was driven by strong revenue growth across the emerging markets, where we benefited from healthy order intake in Asia Pacific and Africa and a favorable prior year comparison in Latin America, as well as growth from the COVID-19 recovery in western Europe. Organic revenue from our treatment application also contributed to the segment's growth during the period, driven by strength in the emerging markets, particularly in China, which was partially offset by the timing of project deliveries in the U.S. during the year.
Applied Water
Applied Water revenue increased $77 million, or 22.8%, for the second quarter of 2021 (17.5% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Revenue benefited from $18$8 million of foreign currency translation, with the change at constant currency coming entirely from organic growth of $59$40 million.

From an application perspective, organicthe segment. Organic revenue growth in the secondfirst quarter was led by strength in the commercial building services application, particularly in the U.S., where we benefited from strong backlog execution coming into the year, traction from new product launches and strong price realization during the quarter. The industrial water application which was primarilybusiness had strong organic growth in the quarter in the U.S., where we benefited from strong backlog execution and price realization, and in western Europe, driven by market growth across the emerging markets, strong order intake in North America, with particular strength in the specialty flow control applications (marine and food & beverage), and market recovery in western Europe, where the industry was more significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year.healthy order intake. The residential building services application also had strong organic growth, primarily driven by western Europe, as market conditions recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, strength in North America, where we benefited from healthy backlog execution, and the emerging markets, specifically driven by strong second water supply business in China. The commercial building services application also contributed organic growthgrew organically during the quarter, primarily driven by strength in the U.S. driven by strong backlog execution and western Europe, where the industry was more significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year.price realization.

Revenue benefited from $29 million of foreign currency translation during the six month period, with the change at constant currency coming entirely from organic growth of $103 million. Organic growth during the period was driven by strength in every end market and across all major geographic regions.
From an application perspective, organic revenue growth during the six month period was led by strength in the industrial water application, which was primarily driven by market growth in the emerging markets, particularly in Asia Pacific where the industry was more significantlynegatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half of the prior year, strong order intake in North America and western Europe, reflecting recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic during the second quarter of the year. The residential building services application revenue also had strong organic growth during the first half of the year, primarily driven by the emerging markets where we experienced strong second water supply business and a favorable prior year comparison in China, as markets conditions recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Strength in North America also contributed to the growth in the residential building services application, as we benefited from healthy backlog execution coming into the year, and market growth in western Europe during the period. The commercial building services application contributed organic growth during the first half of the year, primarily driven by strength in western Europe, North America and the emerging markets, particularly Asia Pacific.
Measurement & Control Solutions
Measurement & Control Solutions revenue increased $46 million, or 14.3%, for the second quarter of 2021 (10.6% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Revenue benefited from $12$6 million of foreign currency translation, with the change at constant currency driven bycoming from an organic growthdecline of $37$32 million which was partially offset byand reduced revenue related to divestiture impacts of $3$2 million. Organic revenue growth duringweakness in the quarter was driven by strengthdeclines in both the utility and industrial end markets and across all major geographic regions.
In order to simplify and focus the application discussion, beginning with the first quarter of 2021, we are aggregating the test application into the water application and the software as a service and other application into the water and energy applications, as applicable, as both of these sub-applications provide products and services to the broader, ultimate applications of water and energy. From an application perspective, organic revenue growth was driven by the timing of project deployments in the water application, coupled with COVID-19 recovery in the U.S. and western Europe during the quarter. The energy application experienced a modest decrease during the quarter, primarily driven project timing and supply chain constraints in the U.S.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, revenue increased $53 million, or 7.9% (4.8% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the prior year. Revenue benefited from $21 million of foreign currency translation during the six month period, with the change at constant currency driven by organic growth of $37 million which was partially offset by reduced revenue related to divestiture impacts of $5 million. Organic revenue growth during the period was driven by strength in both end markets andmarket across all major geographic regions, particularly in western Europe.primarily driven by component shortages affecting metrology sales. The industrial end market was flat for the quarter.
From an application perspective, organic revenue growthdecline during the periodquarter was driven by declines in both the energy and water application, particularlyapplications, primarily in the U.S. and, as a result of continued electronic component shortages affecting our smart metering business. Declines in the water applications were slightly offset by modest growth in western Europe where regions benefited from a favorable prior year comparison during the period coupled with strong backlog execution. This organic revenue growth was partially offset by a decline in the energy application during the period driven by the gas business, where large project deployments in the U.S. during the prior year did not repeatboth our test and we experienced project delays driven by the COVID-19 pandemic during the year.

Organic orders for test and assessment service offerings were also up substantially for the energy application also grew organically during the quarter, primarily in North America where the gas business benefited from a favorable comparison, driven by COVID-19 recovery, coupled with project related ordering in the electric business during the quarter.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, orders increased $302 million, or 44.2%, to $985 million (41.0% increase on a constant currency basis) as compared to the same prior year period. Order growth during the period benefited from $22 million of foreign currency translation. The order increase on a constant currency basis included organic order growth of $288 million, or 42.2%, which was partially offset by a $8 million reduction in orders related to divestiture impacts during the period. Organic order growth was led by the water application, which was driven by strong order intake in the U.S., amplified by increased ordering due to component shortages, and in western Europe, coupled with a favorable comparison, driven by COVID-19 recovery. Order intake in the energy application also grew organically during the first half of the year, primarily driven by large projects in North America.
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 occur from time to time. Total backlog was $2,779$3,552 million at June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, an increase of $766$1,149 million or 38.1%47.8%, as compared to June 30, 2020March 31, 2021 backlog of $2,013$2,403 million, and an increase of $655$312 million or 30.8%9.6%, as compared to December 31, 20202021 backlog of $2,124$3,240 million driven by the significant increase in orders in the year.across all segments.

restructuring charges are primarily related to actions taken in response to the changes in business and economic conditions arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other efforts to optimize our cost structure, improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness, strengthen our competitive positioning and better serve our customers. We expect to realize between $33 million and $35 million of incremental net savings in 2021 from restructuring actions initiated in 2020. As a result of all of the actions taken and expected to be taken in 2021, we anticipate between $1 million and $3 million of total net savings to be realized during 2021.
Asset Impairment
During the second quarter of 2020 we determined that internally developed in-process software within our Measurement & Control Solutions segment was impaired as a result of actions taken to prioritize strategic investments. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment charge of $10 million. Refer to Note 7, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," for additional information.

Interest Expense
Interest expense was $21$13 million and $42$21 million for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and $18 million and $34 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.respectively. The increasedecrease in interest expense for both periods is primarily driven by interest expense that was incurred in the issuance of our Green Bond during the secondfirst quarter of 2020.2021 related to our senior note that was fully paid off in October 2021. See Note 10, "Credit Facilities and Debt", of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of our credit facilities and long-term debt and related interest.
Income Tax Expense
The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was $25$16 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.5%16.4%, compared to a $4$27 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 10.9%23.3% for the same period in 2020. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $52 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 20.7%, compared to a $8 million expense resulting in an effective tax rate of 10.4% for the same period in 2020.2021. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to favorable earnings mix, partially offset by the Global Intangible Low Taxed Income ("GILTI") inclusion. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 differ from the same periods in 2020 due to unfavorable earnings mix as compared to the prior year and favorable equity compensation deductions in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the six monththree-month period ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 differs from the same period in 20202021 due to the impact of tax settlementssettlement benefits in the current period.period as compared to tax settlement expenses in the prior year.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Operating Activities
Net cash providedused by operating activities was $206$81 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 as compared to $179$26 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase in usage was primarily driven by higher working capital levels, reflecting increased safety stock and higher advanced payments to suppliers to mitigate supply chain volatility, and increased employee benefit payments. The items were partially offset by lower tax and interest payments.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $43 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $31 million in the comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by increased net cash earnings, partially offset by higher tax payments and increased working capital levels to support year-over-year growth.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $88 million in the comparable prior year period. This decrease in cash used of $19$12 million was mainly driven by lowerhigher spending on capital expenditures compared to the prior year.
Financing Activities
Cash used by financing activities was $162 million forduring the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 as compared to cash generated of $774was $106 million in the comparable prior year period.and $115 million, respectively. This net decrease in cash generated by financing activities during the periodused was primarily driven by the issuance of our Green Bond and higher levels of short-term debt during the prior year period, partially offset by the repayment of short-term debt during 2020 and an increasea decrease in share repurchase activity partially offset by higher dividend payments in the first quarter of $8 million.

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. As a result of uncertainties caused both directly and indirectly by the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to evaluate aspects of our spending, including capital expenditures, strategic investments and dividends. We will continue to evaluate aspects of our spending as the year progresses and anticipate our capital expenditures will gradually begin to increase to normal levels during the year as the markets we operate in recover.
Historically, we have generated operating cash flow sufficient to fund our primary cash needs. We will continue to monitor the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company's future operating cash flows going forward. 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 10, "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-effective basis. As of June 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially impacted our borrowing costs or other costs of capital, however the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and may increase our borrowing costs and other costs of capital and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.
We have considered the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our liquidity and capital resources and do not currently expect it to impact our ability to meet future liquidity needs or continue to comply with debt covenants. Based on our current global cash positions, cash flows from operations and access to the capital markets, we believe there is sufficient liquidity to meet our funding requirements and service debt and other obligations in both the U.S. and outside of the U.S. during the year. In addition, we believe our existing committed credit facilities and access to the public debt markets would provide further liquidity if required. Currently, we have available liquidity of approximately $2.6$1.9 billion, consisting of $1.8$1.1 billion of cash and $800 million of available credit facilities as disclosed in Note 10, "Credit Facilities and Debt", of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our debt repayment obligations inOn

Credit Facilities & Long-Term Contractual Commitments
See Note 10, "Credit Facilities and 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 55% and 56% of our revenue from non-U.S. operations for both the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and approximately 51% and 50% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. As we continue to grow our operations in the emerging markets and elsewhere outside of the U.S., we expect to continue to generate significant revenue from non-U.S. operations and 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-effective to do so. We continually review our domestic and foreign cash profile, expected future cash generation and investment opportunities, and reassess whether there is a need to repatriate funds held internationally to support our U.S. operations. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we have provided a deferred tax liability of $6$5 million for net foreign withholding taxes and state income taxes on $235$475 million of earnings expected to be repatriated to the U.S. parent as deemed necessary in the future.

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, particularly at this time and moving forward given the uncertainty around the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 20202021 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. Other than as discussed below, there have been no significant changes in the information concerning our critical accounting estimates as stated in our 20202021 Annual Report.
In the third quarter of 2020, management updated forecasts of future cash flows for the Advanced Infrastructure Analytics ("AIA") businesses, which reflected significant negative volume impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily on our assessment services business. Our ongoing investment in the AIA businesses also continues to impact near-term profitability. Based on these factors, we determined that there were indicators that the AIA reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired, and accordingly, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2020. The results of the impairment test showed that the fair value of the AIA reporting unit was lower than the carrying value, resulting in a $58 million goodwill impairment charge. As of June 30, 2021, the remaining goodwill balance in our AIA reporting unit after recording the goodwill impairment charge was $112 million.
The uncertainty of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may also contribute to further deterioration of our future cash flows. If we do not achieve our forecasts, it is possible that the goodwill of the AIA reporting unit could be deemed to be impaired again in a future period. The risks and potential impacts of COVID-19 on the fair value of our assets are included in our risk factor disclosures referenced under “Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's 20202021 Annual Report.
