Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There has been no material change in the information concerning market risk as stated in our 2022 Annual Report.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) during the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

ITEM 1. 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 investigations or contract issues and commercial or contractual disputes.

Evoqua previously disclosed in its public filings that the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts was investigating whether financial misstatements were made in Evoqua’s public filings and earnings announcements. That investigation has been moved to the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Rhode Island. The Company is cooperating with the investigation and cannot predict its outcome. We currently believe that it will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or prospects.

See Note 18, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information and any updates.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our 2022 Annual Report and the material changes in our risk factors previous disclosed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
