The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes, included elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q (this "Report").

COVID-19 Pandemic Update and Related Macroeconomic Impacts

Given the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its prolonged economic consequences, it has 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.

We have also experienced, and continue to experience, increased inflation, freight and logistics costs, and are engaging in various mitigation strategies, including enhanced price realization efforts.

We continue to assess the evolving nature of the pandemic and related macroeconomic impacts on our business, employees, supply chain, customers and communities, and take appropriate actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences.

Additional financial highlights for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 include the following:

•Orders of $1,684 million, up 1.4% from $1,660 million in the prior year, and up 5.8% on an organic basis.

•Earnings per share of $0.62, flat compared to prior year ($0.66, flat versus prior year, on an adjusted basis).

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

•"tax-related special items" defined as tax items, such as tax return versus tax provision adjustments, tax exam impacts, tax law change impacts, excess tax benefits/losses and other discrete tax adjustments.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

The following is a roll-forward for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 of employee position eliminations associated with restructuring activities:

Planned reductions - January 1 60 319 Additional planned reductions 69 72 Actual reductions and reversals (48) (202) Planned reductions - June 30

The Water Infrastructure, Applied Water and Measurement & Control Solutions actions commenced in 2022 consist primarily of severance charges. The Water Infrastructure and Applied Water actions are complete and the Measurement & Control Solutions actions are expected to continue through the end of 2022.

We currently expect to incur between $10 million and $15 million in restructuring costs for the full year. These

restructuring charges are primarily related to efforts to optimize our cost structure, improve our operational efficiency and effectiveness, strengthen our competitive positioning and better serve our customers.
