Adjusted operating income, reportable segment income, adjusted net income, free cash flow and adjusted EPS are described in the attached schedules. John L. Stauch, Pentair’s President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “As shared in the July 14th preannouncement, our results were below expectations due primarily to a larger-than-anticipated inventory correction in the Pool channel. We are confident this is a temporary channel reset rather than a change in the underlying long-term opportunity for the business and are taking swift actions to improve execution, enhance inventory visibility and support healthier order patterns, positioning our Pool business to deliver robust growth in 2027. Importantly, Flow and Water Solutions continued to deliver solid performance and are progressing against their respective growth priorities. We remain focused on executing our clear plan to expand in key growth markets, advance innovation and deliver exceptional customer service to drive long-term profitable growth and shareholder value.” Second quarter 2026 operating income was $167 million, down 24 percent compared to operating income for the second quarter of 2025, and return on sales (“ROS”) was 17.9 percent, a decrease of 150 basis points when compared to the second quarter of 2025.
