Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

**1.**Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Pentair plc and its subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Pentair,” or the “Company”) have been prepared following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted.

We are responsible for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document. The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results. As these are condensed financial statements, one should also read our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of those for a full year.

In 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus 2019 (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have an unfavorable impact on certain parts of our business. The broader implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations remain uncertain and will depend on certain developments, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of virus variants, the effectiveness of vaccinations, the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our customers and suppliers and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic. We may continue to experience reduced customer demand in certain parts of our business, impacts to our operations, or constrained labor and/or supply that could materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

Our fiscal year ends on December 31. We report our interim quarterly periods on a calendar quarter basis.

**2.**Revenue

We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by segment, geographic location and vertical, as we believe these best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Refer to Note 15 for revenue disaggregated by segment.

Geographic net sales information, based on geographic destination of the sale, was as follows:

Performance obligations

On September 30, 2022, we had $111.1 million of remaining performance obligations on contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more. We expect to recognize the majority of our remaining performance obligations on these contracts within the next 12 to 18 months.

Contract assets and liabilities

Contract assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

In millionsSeptember 30, 2022December 31, 2021$ Change% Change
Contract assets$45.2$48.8$(3.6)(7.4)%
Contract liabilities50.339.410.927.7%
Net contract (liabilities) assets$(5.1)$9.4$(14.5)(154.3)%

The $14.5 million change in net contract liabilities from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 was primarily the result of timing of milestone payments and the recognition of $1.1 million of impairment losses on our contract assets in the first quarter of 2022 related to our exit of business activity in Russia. Approximately 85% of our contract liabilities at December 31, 2021 were recognized in revenue in the first nine months of 2022.

**3.**Acquisitions

On July 28, 2022, as part of our Consumer Solutions reporting segment, we acquired the issued and outstanding equity securities of certain subsidiaries of Welbilt, Inc. (“Welbilt”) and certain other assets, rights, and properties, and assumed certain liabilities, comprising Welbilt’s Manitowoc Ice business (“Manitowoc Ice”), for approximately $1.6 billion in cash.

Manitowoc Ice is a designer, manufacturer, and distributor of commercial ice machines. The acquisition of Manitowoc Ice allows us to enhance and deliver our total water management offerings to an expanded network of channel partners and customers.

The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Manitowoc Ice acquisition. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to further refinement and may require significant adjustments to arrive at the final purchase price allocation. These changes will primarily relate to the fair value of tangible assets and the related income tax impacts. We expect the final purchase price allocation to be completed by the third quarter of 2023. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocation.

The following table summarizes our preliminary estimates of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Manitowoc Ice acquisition:

Cash$33.8
Accounts receivable39.7
Inventories70.8
Other current assets3.9
Property, plant and equipment21.6
Identifiable intangible assets728.3

Other assets1.8
Current liabilities(68.1)
Other liabilities(3.2)
Purchase price$1,625.3

Pentair plc and Subsidiaries

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

The excess of purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired has been preliminarily allocated to goodwill in the amount of $796.7 million, all of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill recognized from the Manitowoc Ice acquisition primarily reflects the future economic benefit resulting from synergies of our combined operations.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired as part of the Manitowoc Ice acquisition include $78.4 million of indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets, $588.4 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 20 years, $47.1 million of definite-lived proprietary technology intangible assets with an estimated useful life of 10 years and $14.4 million of other definite-lived intangible assets with an estimated useful life of four months. The fair values of trade names and proprietary technology acquired in the acquisition were determined using a relief-from-royalty method, and customer relationships and other definite-lived intangible assets acquired were determined using a multi-period excess earnings method. These methods utilize unobservable inputs that are significant to these fair value measurements and thus classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Manitowoc Ice’s net sales and operating income for the period from the acquisition date to September 30, 2022 were $66.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Manitowoc’s operating income includes $12.9 million of identifiable intangible asset amortization expense and $5.8 million of amortization of inventory fair market value step-up.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information as if the Manitowoc Ice acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2021:

Three months endedNine months ended
In millions, except per-share dataSeptember 30, 2022September 30, 2021September 30, 2022September 30, 2021
Pro forma net sales$1,084.6$1,058.7$3,325.7$3,009.2
Pro forma net income from continuing operations131.9146.5417.8377.9
Pro forma earnings per ordinary share - continuing operations
Basic$0.80$0.88$2.53$2.28
Diluted0.800.872.522.25

The unaudited pro forma net income from continuing operations includes Manitowoc Ice’s identifiable intangible asset amortization expense of $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $25.6 million and $40.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The unaudited pro forma net income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 excludes the impact of $18.8 million and $34.2 million, respectively, of transaction-related charges, acquisition-related bridge financing costs and non-recurring expense related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventory. The nine months ended September 30, 2021 was adjusted to include transaction-related charges and non-recurring expense related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition-date inventory.

The pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and includes certain adjustments, as noted above. The adjustments are estimates based on currently available information and actual amounts may differ materially from these estimates. They do not reflect the effect of costs or synergies that would have been expected to result from the integration of the Manitowoc Ice acquisition. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the Manitowoc Ice acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021.

In October 2021, as part of both of our Consumer Solutions and Industrial & Flow Technologies reporting segments, we completed the acquisition of Pleatco Holdings, LLC and related entities for $256.9 million in cash, net of cash acquired and working capital true-ups. The excess of purchase price over tangible net assets acquired has been preliminarily allocated to goodwill in the amount of $140.1 million, $136.4 million of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of $97.9 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 17 years. We expect the final purchase price allocation to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. The pro forma impact of this acquisition is not material.

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

In May 2021, as part of our Consumer Solutions reporting segment, we completed the acquisition of Ken’s Beverage, Inc. for $82.2 million in cash, net of cash acquired and working capital true-ups. The excess of purchase price over tangible net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill in the amount of $28.3 million, all of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of $38.0 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 22 years. The pro forma impact of this acquisition is not material.

**4.**Share Plans

Total share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

Three months endedNine months ended
In millionsSeptember 30, 2022September 30, 2021September 30, 2022September 30, 2021
Restricted stock units$4.1$2.4$11.0$9.4
Stock options1.10.73.02.5
Performance share units2.21.16.68.9
Total share-based compensation expense$7.4$4.2$20.6$20.8

In the first quarter of 2022, we issued our annual share-based compensation grants under the Pentair plc 2020 Share and Incentive Plan to eligible employees. The total number of awards issued was approximately 0.6 million, of which 0.3 million were restricted stock units (“RSUs”), 0.2 million were stock options and 0.1 million were performance share units (“PSUs”). The weighted-average grant date fair value of the RSUs, stock options and PSUs issued was $60.78, $17.92, and $68.28, respectively.

We estimated the fair value of each stock option award issued in the annual share-based compensation grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, modified for dividends and using the following assumptions:

2022 Annual Grant
Risk-free interest rate1.18%
Expected dividend yield1.14%
Expected share price volatility29.60%
Expected term (years)6.4

These estimates require us to make assumptions based on historical results, observance of trends in our share price, changes in option exercise behavior, future expectations and other relevant factors. If other assumptions had been used, share-based compensation expense, as calculated and recorded under the accounting guidance, could have been affected. We based the expected life assumption on historical experience as well as the terms and vesting periods of the options granted. For purposes of determining expected share price volatility, we considered a rolling average of historical volatility measured over a period approximately equal to the expected option term. The risk-free interest rate for periods that coincide with the expected life of the options is based on the United States (“U.S.”) Treasury Department yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

**5.**Restructuring and Transformation Program

In 2021, we launched and committed resources to a program designed to accelerate growth and drive margin expansion through transformation of our business model to drive operational excellence, reduce complexity and streamline our processes (the “Transformation Program”). The Transformation Program is structured in multiple phases and is expected to empower us to work more efficiently and optimize our business to better serve our customers while meeting our financial objectives.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we initiated and continued execution of restructuring actions aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and realigning our business as well as certain initiatives associated with the Transformation Program. These actions included a reduction in hourly and salaried headcount of approximately 400 employees.

Restructuring and transformation-related costs within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income included the following:

**7.**Accounts Receivable

All trade receivables are reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the outstanding principal amount adjusted for any allowance for credit losses and write-offs, net of recoveries. We record an allowance for credit losses, reducing our receivables balance to an amount we estimate is collectible from our customers. Estimates used in determining the allowance for credit losses are based on current trends, aging of accounts receivable, periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition, and historical collection experience as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. Write-offs are recorded at the time all collection efforts have been exhausted. We generally do not require collateral. We review our allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis.

Activity related to our allowance for credit losses is summarized as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

(1) Senior notes are guaranteed as to payment by Pentair plc.

Pentair, Pentair Finance S.à r.l (“PFSA“) and Pentair, Inc. are parties to a credit agreement (the “Senior Credit Facility”), with Pentair as guarantor and PFSA and Pentair, Inc. as borrowers, which was amended and restated in December 2021, providing for a $900.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility. The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of December 16, 2026 and the term loan facility has a maturity date of December 16, 2024. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate, the London interbank offered rate, the euro interbank offered rate or the central bank rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on, at PFSA’s election, Pentair’s leverage level or PFSA’s public credit rating.

As of September 30, 2022, total availability under the Senior Credit Facility was $448.4 million. In addition, PFSA has the option to request to increase the revolving credit facility and/or enter into one or more additional tranches of term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders.

In March 2022, in contemplation of the acquisition of Manitowoc Ice, Pentair and PFSA entered into a Loan Agreement among PFSA, as borrower, Pentair, as guarantor, and the lenders and agents party thereto, providing for a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). In June 2022, the Term Loan Facility was amended to increase the facility by $400.0 million to an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion.

In July 2022, in contemplation of the acquisition of Manitowoc Ice, Pentair, as guarantor, and PFSA, as issuer, completed a public offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.900% Senior Notes due 2032 (“2032 Senior Notes”).

We used the net proceeds from the Term Loan Facility and the issuance of the 2032 Senior Notes to finance a portion of the Manitowoc Ice acquisition purchase price and to pay related fees and expenses.

Our debt agreements contain various financial covenants, but the most restrictive covenants are contained in the Senior Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility. The Senior Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility contain covenants requiring us not to permit (i) the ratio of our consolidated debt (net of our consolidated unrestricted cash in excess of $5.0 million but not to exceed $250.0 million) to our consolidated net income (excluding, among other things, non-cash gains and losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation expense (“EBITDA”) on the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (each, a “testing period”) to exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (or, at PFSA’s election and subject to certain conditions, 4.25 to 1.00 for four testing periods in connection with certain material acquisitions) (the “Leverage Ratio”) and (ii) the ratio of our EBITDA to our consolidated interest expense, for the same period to be less than 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of each fiscal quarter. For purposes of the Leverage Ratio, the Senior Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility provide for the calculation of EBITDA giving pro forma effect to certain acquisitions, divestitures and liquidations during the period to which such calculation relates.

In addition to the Senior Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility, we have various other credit facilities with an aggregate availability of $20.9 million, of which there were no outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2022. Borrowings under these credit facilities bear interest at variable rates.

We have no fixed rate senior notes maturing in the next twelve months.

Debt outstanding, excluding unamortized issuance costs and discounts, at September 30, 2022 matures on a calendar year basis as follows:

**11.**Derivatives and Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments

We are exposed to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility related to this exposure, we periodically enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments. Our objective is to reduce, where it is deemed appropriate to do so, fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The derivative contracts contain credit risk to the extent that our bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The amount of such credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains, if any, in such contracts. Such risk is minimized by limiting those counterparties to major financial institutions of high credit quality.

Foreign currency contracts

We conduct business in various locations throughout the world and are subject to market risk due to changes in the value of foreign currencies in relation to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain market-based risks through the use of foreign currency derivative financial instruments. Our objective in holding these derivatives is to reduce the volatility of net earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The majority of our foreign currency contracts have an original maturity date of less than one year.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $7.5 million and $14.7 million, respectively. The impact of these contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income was not material for any period presented.

Cross Currency Swaps

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding cross currency swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $681.5 million and $794.4 million, respectively. The agreements are accounted for as either cash flow hedges, to hedge foreign currency fluctuations on certain intercompany debt, or as net investment hedges to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. We had deferred foreign currency gains of $82.0 million and $7.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with our cross currency swap activity. The periodic interest settlements related to our cross currency swap agreements are classified as operating activities. The cash flows that relate to principal balances are classified as financing activities for the cash flow hedges on intercompany debt and investing activities for the net investment hedges.

In October 2022, we entered into transactions to early terminate and cash settle €700 million of our cross currency swap agreements due to favorable market conditions. The termination of the cross currency swap agreements resulted in cash proceeds of $85.3 million. Subsequent to the termination, we entered into new cross currency swap agreements with euro notional amounts matching the original swap agreements.

In June 2022, we terminated two of our cross currency swap agreements, resulting in total net cash received of $9.0 million, of which $8.8 million is included within investing activities and $0.2 million is included within financing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We entered into new cross currency swaps with a combined notional amount of $320.0 million to replace the terminated cross currency swap agreements.

In January 2021, one of our cross currency swap agreements which was accounted for as a cash flow hedge matured, resulting in a net cash payment of $14.7 million. The net cash payment is included within financing activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:

Level 1:Valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2:Valuation is based on inputs such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3:Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

In making fair value measurements, observable market data must be used when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value of financial instruments

The following methods were used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments:

*•*short-term financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable and variable-rate debt) — recorded amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity period;

  • long-term fixed-rate debt, including current maturities — fair value is based on market quotes available for issuance of debt with similar terms, which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance;

  • foreign currency contract agreements — fair values are determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, as well as other relevant economic measures, which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance; and

  • deferred compensation plan assets (mutual funds, common/collective trusts and cash equivalents for payment of certain non-qualified benefits for retired, terminated and active employees) — fair value of mutual funds and cash equivalents are based on quoted market prices in active markets that are classified as Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance; fair value of common/collective trusts are valued at net asset value (“NAV”), which is based on the fair value of the underlying securities owned by the fund and divided by the number of shares outstanding.

The recorded amounts and estimated fair values of total debt, excluding unamortized issuance costs and discounts, were as follows:

**12.**Income Taxes

We manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”) and therefore have our tax residency in the U.K. The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for the U.K. and international income taxes. We operate in an international environment with operations in various locations outside the U.K. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the applicable rates.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 13.9%, compared to 14.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We continue to actively pursue initiatives to reduce our effective tax rate. The tax rate in any quarter can be affected positively or negatively by the mix of global earnings or adjustments that are required to be reported in the specific quarter of resolution.

The total gross liability for uncertain tax positions was $36.5 million and $37.3 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We record penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision for income taxes and Net interest expense, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, which is consistent with our past practices.

**13.**Benefit Plans

**14.**Shareholders’ Equity

Share repurchases

In December 2020, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our ordinary shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $750.0 million. The authorization expires on December 31, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 0.9 million of our ordinary shares for $50.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, we had $600.0 million available for share repurchases under this authorization.

Dividends payable

On September 19, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21, payable on November 4, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 21, 2022. As a result, the balance of dividends payable included in Other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $34.5 million at September 30, 2022, compared to $33.0 million at December 31, 2021.

**15.**Segment Information

We evaluate performance based on net sales and segment income (loss) and use a variety of ratios to measure performance of our reporting segments. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Segment income (loss) represents equity income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and operating income exclusive of intangible amortization, certain acquisition related expenses, costs of restructuring and transformation activities, impairments and other unusual non-operating items.

**16.**Commitments and Contingencies

Legal proceedings

We have been, and in the future may be, made parties to a number of actions filed, or have been, and in the future may be, given notice of potential claims relating to the conduct of our business, including those relating to commercial, regulatory or contractual disputes with suppliers, authorities, customers or parties to acquisitions and divestitures; intellectual property matters; environmental, asbestos, safety and health matters; product liability matters, including those relating to the use or installation of our products; consumer matters and employment and labor matters.

While we believe that a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows from any such future claims or potential claims is unlikely, given the inherent uncertainty of litigation, a remote possibility exists that a future adverse ruling or unfavorable development could result in future charges that could have a material adverse impact. We do and will continue to periodically reexamine our estimates of probable liabilities and any associated expenses and receivables and make appropriate adjustments to such estimates based on experience and developments in litigation. As a result, the current estimates of the potential impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the proceedings and claims described in the notes to our consolidated financial statements could change in the future.

Environmental matters

We have been named as defendant, target or a potentially responsible party in a number of environmental clean-ups relating to our current or former business units. 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. It can be difficult to estimate reliably the final costs of investigation and remediation due to various factors. In our opinion, the amounts accrued are appropriate based on facts and circumstances as currently known. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our recorded reserves for environmental matters were not material.

Product liability claims

We are subject to various product liability lawsuits and personal injury claims. A substantial number of these lawsuits and claims are insured and accrued for by Penwald, our captive insurance subsidiary. Penwald records a liability for these claims based on actuarial projections of ultimate losses. For all other claims, accruals covering the claims are recorded, on an undiscounted basis, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on existing information. The accruals are adjusted periodically as additional information becomes available. We have not experienced significant unfavorable trends in either the severity or frequency of product liability lawsuits or personal injury claims.

Warranties and guarantees

In connection with our disposition of businesses or product lines, we may agree to indemnify purchasers for various potential liabilities relating to the sold business, such as pre-closing tax, product liability, warranty, environmental, or other obligations. The subject matter, amounts and duration of any such indemnification obligations vary for each type of liability indemnified and may vary widely from transaction to transaction.

Generally, the maximum obligations under such indemnifications are not explicitly stated and as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. In connection with the disposition of the Valves & Controls business, we agreed to indemnify Emerson Electric Co. for certain pre-closing tax liabilities. We have recorded a liability representing the fair value of our expected future obligation for this matter.

We provide service and warranty policies on our products. Liability under service and warranty policies is based upon a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience warrant.

Stand-by letters of credit, bank guarantees and bonds

In certain situations, Tyco International Ltd., Pentair Ltd.’s former parent company (“Tyco”), guaranteed performance by the flow control business of Pentair Ltd. (“Flow Control”) to third parties or provided financial guarantees for financial commitments of Flow Control. In situations where Flow Control and Tyco were unable to obtain a release from these guarantees in connection with the spin-off of Flow Control from Tyco, we will indemnify Tyco for any losses it suffers as a result of such guarantees.

In the ordinary course of business, we are required to commit to bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees that require payments to our customers for any non-performance. The outstanding face value of these instruments fluctuates with the value of our projects in process and in our backlog. In addition, we issue financial stand-by letters of credit primarily to secure our performance to third parties under self-insurance programs.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding value of bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees totaled $99.2 million and $104.5 million, respectively.
