Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
107 rewritten, 16 added, 13 removed, 276 unchanged
Important factors for our businesses and the businesses of our customers [added: and suppliers] include the overall strength of the global economy and various regional economies and our customers’ confidence in these economies, industrial and governmental capital spending, the strength of residential and commercial real estate markets, residential housing markets, the [added: food service industry, the] commercial business climate, global supply chain stability, [added: possible tariff increases,] unemployment rates, availability of consumer and commercial financing, interest rates, inflation rates, and energy and commodity prices.
For example, current macroeconomic and political [removed: instability caused by global supply chain disruptions,] [added: instability,] inflation and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar have and could continue to adversely impact our results of operations.
In addition, military conflicts, such as those between Russia and Ukraine and [removed: Hamas and Israel,] [added: in the Middle East,] and their impact on [removed: economies] [added: economies,] may adversely impact our results of operations.
We compete against large and well-established national and global companies, regional and local companies, diversified and pure-play companies, and [removed: lower cost] [added: lower-cost] manufacturers.
Some of our competitors attempt to compete based primarily on price, localized [removed: expertise] [added: expertise,] and local relationships, especially with respect to products and applications that do not require a great deal of engineering or technical expertise.
We compete with [removed: thousands of] [added: numerous] smaller regional and local companies that may be positioned to offer products produced at lower cost than ours, or to capitalize on highly localized relationships and knowledge that are difficult for us to replicate.
Also, in several [removed: emerging] markets, potential customers prefer local suppliers, in some cases because of existing relationships and in other cases because of local legal restrictions or incentives that favor local businesses.
In addition, we need to be flexible to adapt our products to ever changing customer preferences, including those relating to [removed: regulatory,] climate change and [removed: social][added: sustainability matters as well as regulatory requirements.]
[removed: Unless we successfully penetrate] these markets, our core sales growth will likely be limited or may decline.
Accordingly, our future success depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to transform and adapt our products, services, solutions, organization, workforce and sales strategies to fit localities throughout the [removed: world, particularly in high growth emerging markets;] [added: world;] identify emerging technological and other trends in our target end markets; and develop or acquire competitive technologies, products, services, and solutions and bring them to market quickly and cost-effectively.
We must also monitor [removed: disruptive] [added: emerging] technologies, such as artificial intelligence, and business models, and we may not be able to take advantage of such technologies, [removed: including if we are] [added: which could include] not [added: being] able to attract and retain talent that would enable us to leverage such technologies.
The failure of our products, services or solutions to gain market acceptance due to more attractive offerings by our competitors, the introduction of new competitors to the market with new or innovative product [removed: offerings] [added: offerings,] or the failure to address any of the above factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates, obtain financing or have sufficient cash necessary for [removed: acquisitions] [added: acquisitions,] or successfully complete acquisitions in the future.
During [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] and [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] we [removed: initiated and continued execution of] [added: executed] certain business [added: restructuring] initiatives aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and realigning our business.
[removed: During 2021, we also launched] [added: Additionally, in 2024] and [removed: committed resources to a program] [added: 2023, we made progress on our Transformation Program] designed to accelerate growth and drive margin expansion [removed: through transformation of our business model to drive] [added: by driving] operational excellence, [removed: reduce] [added: reducing] complexity and [removed: streamline] [added: streamlining] our processes.
[removed: We] [added: In addition, we] may not be able to achieve accelerated growth and margin expansion or operating efficiencies to reduce costs or realize benefits that we [removed: anticipated] [added: anticipate] in connection with [removed: these] [added: the foregoing] initiatives.
We may experience cost [added: increases] and other inflation.
In [removed: prior] [added: recent] years, we experienced inflationary cost increases of raw materials, such as [removed: metals,] [added: metals and] resins, drives and motors, as well as increases in logistics, [added: transportation,] energy, insurance and labor costs (including wages, pensions and health care [removed: benefits), and due to the current volatile nature of the market, we expect inflationary cost increases to continue in 2024.][added: benefits).]
We [removed: continue to] [added: also] implement operational initiatives to mitigate the impacts of inflation and [removed: continuously] reduce our costs.
However, these actions may not be successful in managing our costs or increasing our [removed: productivity and we anticipate inflation to continue with respect to raw materials as well as labor and logistics.][added: productivity.]
Continued cost [removed: inflation] [added: inflation, new] or [removed: failure of] [added: increased tariffs, or] our [removed: initiatives] [added: failure] to increase prices, generate cost savings or improve productivity could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
[removed: During 2023, 2022 and 2021,] [added: In recent years,] we experienced supply chain challenges, including increased lead times for raw materials due to availability constraints and high demand for these materials.
These disruptions or our failure to effectively respond to them [removed: have increased and] may [removed: continue to] increase product, logistics or labor costs, limit availability of raw materials or cause delays in delivering our [removed: backlog] [added: backlog,] or may cause an inability to deliver products to our customers or meet customer demand.
While we have elevated our engagement with our suppliers and used secondary suppliers and new methods of procurement where available to mitigate [removed: the] supply chain pressures, supply chain challenges may continue in the future.
In addition, as we execute on our ongoing Transformation Program, we may [removed: experience] [added: incur additional] costs as a result of changing to new [removed: suppliers.][added: suppliers and investing in alternative fixtures and tools.]
Any material interruption in our supply chain, such [removed: as] [added: as:] material interruption of the supply of raw materials and components due to the casualty loss of any of our manufacturing plants; interruptions in service by our third-party logistic service providers or common carriers that ship goods within our distribution channels; unexpected delays in shipping or processing through customs of goods; increased logistics costs, including air freight; lack of availability of marine cargo insurance for shipments in certain geographies due to hostilities; trade restrictions, such as increased tariffs or quotas, embargoes or customs restrictions or inspections; or other unexpected or uncontrollable events that cause a material interruption in our supply chain such as [removed: pandemics (including COVID-19);] [added: pandemics,] social or labor [removed: unrest;] [added: unrest,] natural [removed: disasters;] [added: disasters,] or political disputes, international [removed: hostilities] [added: hostilities,] and military [removed: conflicts;] [added: conflicts] could negatively affect our ability to produce or deliver our products and have a negative material impact on our business and our profitability.
Our ability to find qualified suppliers who meet our standards and supply products in a timely and efficient manner may be a challenge, especially with respect to raw materials and components sourced from outside the U.S. and from countries or regions with diminished infrastructure, developing or failing [removed: economies] [added: economies,] or which are experiencing political instability or social unrest.
In addition, our competitors may be less reliant on third-party suppliers than we [removed: are,] [added: are or have suppliers in a region that has a better cost position or an enhanced logistical advantage than we have,] which may give such competitors more control over their supply chain and lead times for manufacturing products.
Sales outside of the U.S. for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] accounted for 31% of our net sales.
- relatively more severe [added: or unpredictable] economic conditions in some international markets than in the U.S.;
- the difficulty of communicating and monitoring evolving [added: regulations,] standards and directives across our [added: sales channels,] product lines, [removed: services,] [added: services] and global facilities;
- the difficulty of ensuring that our products, [removed: services] [added: services, sales channels] and supply chains meet ever-changing regional regulations and requirements;
- the possibility of [added: international hostilities,] military conflicts or terrorist action affecting us, our operations, supply chains, our end-markets or economies generally;
Changes in U.S. or foreign government administrative policy, including [added: the imposition of, or increases in, tariffs and] changes to existing trade agreements, could have a material adverse effect on us.
As a result of changes to U.S. or foreign government administrative policy, there may be changes to existing trade agreements; greater restrictions on free trade generally; [added: imposition of or] significant increases in tariffs on goods including those imported into the U.S., particularly tariffs on products manufactured in Mexico, China, [added: Canada,] or other countries where we purchase, have operations or manufacture or sell products; prohibitions or restrictions on doing business with certain entities, including those with certain relationships with China; and adverse responses by foreign governments to U.S. trade policy, among other possible changes.
[removed: It] [added: The current U.S. administration has recently implemented tariffs and has announced the possibility of implementing additional, or increasing current, tariffs, and it] remains unclear what the U.S. administration or foreign governments, including China, will or will not do with respect to tariffs or international trade agreements and policies.
A trade war; other governmental [removed: action] [added: action, including threatened actions and uncertainty,] related to tariffs or international trade agreements; changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories and countries where we currently purchase, have operations or manufacture and sell products; and any resulting negative sentiments towards the U.S. as a result of such changes, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Furthermore, our business strategy also includes expanding our smart [removed: products and Internet of Things] [added: product] offerings and there are many other companies that hold patents in this space.
[removed: Over the past few years, we] [added: We] have noticed an increasing tendency for participants in our markets, including competitors, to use challenges to intellectual property to compete.
As of December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] our goodwill and intangible assets were [removed: $4,317.0] [added: $4,320.4] million and represented approximately [removed: 66%] [added: 67%] of our total assets.
Unless we successfully penetrate
Our competitors may be more successful in their technology strategy and develop superior products and services with the aid of emerging technologies.
In 2024, we also began using 80/20 guiding principles, which focus on key customers and products through quadrant-based strategies, and we expect this analysis to result in actions to improve operating performance by reducing lower margin sales and removing complexity.
As a result, it is possible our revenues could be reduced by exiting certain customers and products.
The ongoing volatile market for commodities has the potential to continue to drive price increases in our supply chain.
The current U.S. administration has recently implemented tariffs and has announced the possibility of implementing additional, or increasing current, tariffs; these actions and any reactionary tariff adjustments by other countries may also contribute to inflationary cost increases.
We anticipate supply chain pressures and inflationary cost increases due to potential tariffs and pressure on global manufacturing to continue into 2025.
Periodically, we use derivative financial instruments to manage or reduce the impact of changes in foreign currency rates.
If we are not successful in monitoring our foreign currency exchange exposures and conducting an effective hedging program, our foreign currency hedging activities may not offset the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates on our results of operations and financial position.
Any future negotiations with these groups may result in significant increases in our cost of labor.
As of December 31, 2024, we had $1,663.1 million of total debt outstanding on a consolidated basis.

These factors include the overall global economic and business conditions impacting our business, including the strength of housing and related markets and conditions relating to international hostilities; supply, demand, logistics, competition and pricing pressures related to and in the markets we serve; the ability to achieve the benefits of our restructuring plans, cost reduction initiatives and Transformation Program; the impact of raw material, logistics and labor costs and other inflation; volatility in currency exchange rates and interest rates; failure of markets to accept new product introductions and enhancements; the ability to successfully identify, finance, complete and integrate acquisitions; risks associated with operating foreign businesses; the impact of seasonality of sales and weather conditions; our ability to comply with laws and regulations; the impact of changes in laws, regulations and administrative policy, including those that limit U.S. tax benefits or impact trade agreements and tariffs; the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings; and the ability to achieve our long-term strategic operating and [removed: ESG goals.][added: sustainability goals and targets.]
Pentair plc and its consolidated subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Pentair” or the “Company”) is a pure play water industrial manufacturing company comprised of three [removed: reporting] [added: reportable] segments: [removed: Flow (formerly named the Industrial & Flow Technologies segment),] [added: Flow,] Water Solutions and Pool.
For the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] the Flow, Water Solutions and Pool [added: reportable] segments represented approximately [removed: 38%, 29%] [added: 37%, 28%] and [removed: 33%] [added: 35%] of total [removed: revenues,] [added: consolidated net sales,] respectively.
The following trends and uncertainties affected our financial performance in [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] and are reasonably likely to impact our results in the future:
- [removed: In 2021, we created] [added: We have] a [removed: transformation office and launched and committed resources to the] Transformation Program designed to accelerate growth and drive margin expansion by driving operational excellence, reducing complexity and streamlining our processes.
During [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we made strategic progress on our Transformation Program initiatives with a focus on our four key themes of pricing excellence, strategic sourcing, operations excellence and organizational effectiveness.
We expect to continue to execute on our key Transformation Program initiatives to drive margin expansion and to continue to incur transformation costs in [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and beyond.
- In [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we executed certain business restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and realigning our business.
We expect these actions to continue into [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and to drive margin growth.
[removed: -] The [removed: current] [added: ongoing] volatile market for commodities has the potential to [added: continue to] drive price increases in our supply chain.
[removed: While] [added: As a result,] we have taken pricing [removed: actions] [added: actions, which may continue going forward,] and implemented transformation initiatives that we expect to improve productivity and offset cost [removed: increases, we anticipate supply chain pressures and inflationary cost increases to continue into 2024.][added: increases.]
[removed: *•*The] [added: - The] Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Pillar Two Model Rules (“Pillar Two”), for a global 15.0% minimum tax, [removed: are in the process of being] [added: have been] adopted by a number of jurisdictions in which we operate.

On December 2, 2024, as part of our Pool reportable segment, we completed the acquisition of G & F Manufacturing, LLC (“G & F Manufacturing”) for $116.0 million in cash, net of cash acquired and subject to customary adjustments.
The net purchase price is comprised of an upfront cash payment of $108.0 million, subject to customary adjustments, and the estimated fair value at the acquisition date of a contingent earn-out liability based upon the achievement of certain defined operating results in the two years following the acquisition.
G & F Manufacturing manufactures and services pool heat pumps.
- In 2024, we began using 80/20 guiding principles to enable our Transformation Program.
This 80/20 analysis is expected to create value by focusing on key customers and products through quadrant-based strategies.
We expect the analysis to result in actions to improve operating performance by driving growth with our highest value customers, reducing lower margin sales and removing complexity in the future.
- During 2024, we experienced inflationary cost increases for certain raw materials as well as logistics and transportation costs.
In addition, the current U.S. administration has recently implemented tariffs and has announced the possibility of implementing additional, or increasing current, tariffs; these actions and any reactionary tariff adjustments by other countries may also contribute to inflationary cost increases.
We anticipate supply chain pressures and inflationary cost increases due to potential tariffs and pressure on global manufacturing to continue into 2025.
Pillar Two has negatively impacted our effective tax rate in 2024 and is likely to continue to impact our effective tax rate in the future.
- decreased sales volume in our Water Solutions segment compared to the prior year, in addition to a business exit in our residential business in 2024 and the completion of a large project in 2023 within our commercial business that did not recur in 2024; and
- a product line exit in our Pool segment that occurred in 2024.
- increased selling prices across all of our segments to mitigate inflationary cost increases;
- asset impairment charges of $6.3 million in 2024, compared to $0.9 million in 2023.
- a reduction in our legal accrual of $7.5 million in 2024, compared to an increase in our legal accrual of $2.2 million in 2023.
*•*lower variable-rate debt compared to the prior year.
- withholding taxes primarily related to the repatriation of earnings in 2024 which did not occur in 2023; and
- the favorable impact of discrete items that occurred during 2024 primarily related to changes in uncertain tax positions.

Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, [removed: 2023] [added: 2024] that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
