At our recent Investor Day in March, we provided our target long-term growth algorithm detailing our organic growth strategy and continued margin expansion opportunity over the next three years. We believe we have structurally changed our business model into a resilient and balanced water portfolio to drive durable earnings growth long term and mitigate the impacts of economic cyclicality.

With a solid balance sheet, strong cash flow, a balanced capital deployment strategy and a resilient water portfolio, we remain focused on delivering long-term shareholder value.”
