Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues, today reported third quarter 2016 net income of $73 million, or $0.41 per share, a decrease of 15 percent year-over-year reflecting higher restructuring, realignment and acquisition-related costs. Adjusted net income in the quarter was $97 million or $0.54 per share, a 10-percent increase over the prior year period. Third quarter revenue was $897 million, which was down one percent from third quarter 2015 and flat organically. The robust revenue growth in the public utility end market was offset by weaker conditions in the industrial sector. Reported operating margin in the quarter declined 110 basis points to 12.2 percent. On an adjusted basis, operating margin grew 90 basis points to 14.6 percent as strong execution on productivity initiatives more than offset inflation and targeted investments in strategic growth initiatives.
