Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

1.Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements

Business

nVent Electric plc ("nVent," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of electrical connection and protection solutions. The Company is comprised of three reporting segments: Enclosures, Electrical & Fastening Solutions and Thermal Management.

The Company was incorporated in Ireland on May 30, 2017. Although our jurisdiction of organization is Ireland, we manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") and have tax residency in the U.K.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of nVent have been prepared following the requirements of the 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 and combined 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. We may experience changes in customer demand or constrained supply that could materially adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and overall financial performance in future periods.

2.Revenue

Disaggregation of revenue

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

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

Contract balances

Contract assets and liabilities consisted of the following:

In millions	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		$ Change		% Change
Contract assets	$	47.5	$	48.9	$	(1.4)	(2.9	%)
Contract liabilities	26.2		17.8		8.4		47.2	%
Net contract assets	$	21.3	$	31.1	$	(9.8)	(31.5	%)

The $9.8 million decrease in net contract assets from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 was primarily the result of timing of milestone payments. The majority of our contract liabilities at December 31, 2021 were recognized in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. There were no material impairment losses recognized on our contract assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Remaining performance obligations

We have elected the practical expedient to disclose only the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or more. On September 30, 2022, we had $31.9 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.

5.Acquisitions

On April 1, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Vynckier Enclosure Systems, Inc. ("Vynckier") for approximately $27.0 million in cash. Vynckier is a U.S. based manufacturer of high-quality non-metallic enclosures that we market as part of the nVent HOFFMAN product line within our Enclosures segment.

The excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired has been allocated to

goodwill in the amount of $13.5 million, substantially all of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired included $6.1 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 11 years.

On June 30, 2021, we acquired CIS Global LLC ("CIS Global") for approximately $202.4 million in cash. The CIS Global business is a leading provider of intelligent rack power distribution and server slides products, and operates within our Enclosures segment. The purchase price was funded primarily through borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 9).

The excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill in the amount of $83.5 million, of which $50.0 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets acquired included $78.0 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 16 years and $24.5 million of developed technology with an estimated useful life of 9 years to 12 years.

The pro forma impact of these acquisitions is not material individually or in the aggregate.

8.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. We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain market-based risks through the use of derivative instruments. These derivative instruments primarily consist of forward foreign currency contracts used to mitigate foreign currency exposure for certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. Our objective in holding these derivatives is to reduce the volatility in net earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency rates. The majority of our foreign currency contracts have an original maturity date of less than one year. These foreign currency contracts are not designated as hedging instruments; accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in current period earnings.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $141.9 million and $180.1 million, respectively. The impact of these contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income 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 $316.6 million and $369.1 million, respectively. The agreements are accounted for as either cash flow hedges or fair value 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. In the third quarter of 2022, as a result of an early settlement of a cross currency swap instrument, $10.0 million of cash flows has been reflected as a component of financing cash flows and $0.3 million of expense was recorded to Selling, general and administrative expense from Accumulated other comprehensive loss. We entered a cross currency swap with a gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amount of $121.0 million to replace the terminated agreement, which we designated as a fair value hedge to offset foreign currency risk associated with intercompany debt. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had deferred foreign currency gains of $23.2 million and $16.7 million, respectively, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with our cross currency swap agreements.

Interest rate swaps

We are also exposed to interest rate risk fluctuations in connection with the planned issuance of long-term debt. To manage the volatility related to this exposure, we may use forward starting interest rate swaps to fix a portion of the interest cost associated with anticipated future financings. In 2020, we entered into a forward starting interest rate swap to hedge the variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark swap interest rate (London Inter-Bank Offer Rate) associated with the anticipated refinancing of the 2023 Notes (as defined below). The interest rate swap contract has a notional amount of $200.0 million, and was settled in the fourth quarter of 2021 in conjunction with the issuance of the 2031 Notes (as defined below). Accordingly, cash flows of $9.6 million relating to the settlement of interest rate swaps hedging the forecasted issuance of debt have been reflected as a component of financing cash flows. The resulting gain from the settlement is deferred to Accumulated other comprehensive loss, and is being reclassified to interest expense over the term of the 2031 Notes (underlying debt). This reclassification of the deferred gain impacts the interest expense recognized on the underlying debt that was hedged, and is therefore reflected as a component of operating cash flows in periods subsequent to settlement.

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;

15

nVent Electric plc

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited)

•foreign currency contract, cross currency swap and interest rate swap 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 underlying securities owned by the fund 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:

	September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
In millions	Recorded Amount		Fair Value		Recorded Amount		Fair Value
Variable rate debt	$	292.5	$	292.5	$	205.5	$	205.5
Fixed rate debt	800.0		702.0		800.0		866.8
Total debt	$	1,092.5	$	994.5	$	1,005.5	$	1,072.3

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Senior notes
In March 2018, nVent Finance S.à r.l. (“nVent Finance” or "Subsidiary Issuer"), a 100-percent owned subsidiary of nVent, issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.950% senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.550% senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes").

In November 2021, nVent Finance issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.750% senior notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes, the "Notes"). In December 2021, the Company redeemed the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes.

Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and interest on the 2031 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment by nVent (the "Parent Company Guarantor"). There are no subsidiaries that guarantee the Notes. The Parent Company Guarantor is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries and the issuance of the Notes and other external debt. The Parent Company Guarantor’s principal source of cash flow, including cash flow to make payments on the Notes pursuant to the guarantees, is dividends from its subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer’s principal source of cash flow is interest income from its subsidiaries. None of the subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer is under any direct obligation to pay or otherwise fund amounts due on the Notes or the guarantees, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, there may be statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends from certain subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer. If such subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer and sufficient cash or liquidity is not otherwise available, the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer may not be able to make principal and interest payments on their outstanding debt, including the Notes or the guarantees.

The Notes constitute general unsecured senior obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. The guarantees of the Notes by the Parent Company Guarantor constitute general unsecured obligations of the Parent Company Guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. Subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued contains covenants that, among other things, restrict nVent’s, nVent Finance’s and certain subsidiaries’ ability to merge or consolidate with another person, create liens or engage in sale and lease-back transactions.

There are no significant restrictions on the ability of nVent to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of nVent or its subsidiaries represents restricted net assets pursuant to the guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Senior credit facilities

In March 2018, the Company and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

In September 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the "Senior Credit Facilities"), which amended and restated the March 2018 credit agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility are permitted on a delayed draw basis during the first year of the five-year term of the Term Loan Facility, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are permitted from time to time during the full five-year term of the Revolving Credit Facility. In September 2022, nVent exercised the delayed draw provision of the Term Loan Facility, increasing the total borrowings under the Term Loan Facility by $200.0 million to $300.0 million. nVent Finance has the option to request to increase the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate, London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) or Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on, at nVent Finance’s election, the Company's leverage level or public credit rating.

As of September 30, 2022, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $600.0 million.

Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which are in the Senior Credit Facilities, including that we may not 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 nVent Finance's election and subject to certain conditions, 4.25 to 1.00 for four testing periods in connection with certain material acquisitions) 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. In addition, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the Senior Credit Facilities also contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to create liens, merge or consolidate with another person, make acquisitions and incur subsidiary debt. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our debt agreements, and there is no material uncertainty about our ongoing ability to meet those covenants.

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

	Q4
In millions	2022		2023		2024		2025		2026		2027		Thereafter		Total

10.Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 16.9%, compared to 14.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The liability for uncertain tax positions was $13.7 million and $15.6 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 Income and Comprehensive Income, which is consistent with our past practices.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a $5.2 million discrete tax benefit related to a foreign subsidiary.

11.     Shareholders' Equity

Share repurchases

On July 23, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our ordinary shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $500.0 million (the "2018 Authorization"). On February 19, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our ordinary shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $380.0 million (the "2019 Authorization"). The 2018 Authorization and the 2019 Authorization expired on July 23, 2021.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Warranties and guarantees

In connection with the disposition of our 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 obligation under such indemnifications is 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 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.

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. Our liability for service and product warranties as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was not material.

Stand-by letters of credit, bank guarantees and bonds

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 $37.8 million and $38.2 million, respectively.

Recent Events Update

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Governments around the world have implemented measures to help control the spread of the virus, including business curtailments and shutdowns, isolating residents to their places of residence and restricting travel. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and is likely to continue to result, in significant economic disruption and has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business.

As economic activity has increased in 2021 and the first nine months of 2022, we have experienced inflationary increases of raw materials, logistics, labor and energy costs, and supply chain challenges, including increased lead times due to availability constraints and high demand. Although we regularly monitor the financial health and operations of companies in our supply chain, and use alternative suppliers when necessary and available, supply chain constraints could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials or components required to manufacture our products and adversely affect our operations. We expect the inflationary trends and supply chain pressures that we have encountered the first nine months of 2022 to continue throughout the remainder of 2022 and into 2023.

We continue to actively monitor the impacts of the pandemic and global efforts to respond to it, and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by governments in the jurisdictions where we operate, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders.

Beginning in February 2022, in response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, many countries have initiated a variety of sanctions targeting Russia and associated entities. With the ongoing conflict, we have suspended new business activities in Russia. We are conducting remaining business activities in Russia in compliance with applicable sanctions.

The conflict and the sanctions imposed are creating substantial uncertainty in the global economy. While our business activity in Russia is not material to our operations, an escalation or expansion of economic disruption or the conflict's current scope could disrupt sales to our customers or our supply chain, increase inflationary costs and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Key Trends and Uncertainties Regarding our Existing Business

The following trends and uncertainties affected our financial performance in 2021 and the first nine months of 2022 and will likely impact our results in the future:

•During 2021 and the first nine months of 2022, we experienced inflationary increases of raw materials, logistics, labor and energy costs, and supply chain challenges, including increased lead times due to availability constraints and high demand. While we have taken pricing actions and we have implemented and plan to continue to implement productivity improvements that could help offset these cost increases, we expect supply chain pressures and inflationary cost increases to continue throughout 2022 and into 2023, and could negatively impact our results of operations.

•There are many uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, including the anticipated duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent of worldwide social, political and economic disruption it may cause. During 2021, demand improved as governments rolled out the distribution of vaccines and lifted COVID-19 related restrictions, which increased economic activity. Demand in 2022 remains high, however, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and the economic recovery we are seeing could be slowed or reversed by a number of factors, including a widespread resurgence in COVID-19 infections, whether due to the spread of variants of the virus or otherwise, the rate and efficacy of vaccinations, labor constraints, the strength of the global supply chain and government actions including potential business curtailments and shutdowns impacting our factories. The magnitude of the impact of the pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations cannot be determined at this time.

22

•During 2021 and the first nine months of 2022, we continued execution of certain business restructuring initiatives aimed at reducing our fixed cost structure and realigning our business.

In 2022, our operating objectives include the following:

•Executing our Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") strategy focused on People, Products and Planet;

•Enhancing and supporting employee engagement, development and retention;

•Achieving differentiated revenue growth through new products and innovation and expansion in higher growth verticals across all regions globally;

•Optimizing our technological capabilities to increasingly generate innovative new and connected products and advance digital transformation;

•Driving operational excellence through lean and agile, with specific focus on our digital transformation and supply chain resiliency;

•Optimizing working capital through inventory reduction initiatives across business segments and focused actions to optimize customer and vendor payment terms; and

•Deploying capital strategically to drive growth and value creation.

Net sales

The components of the change in consolidated net sales from the prior period were as follows:

	Three months ended September 30, 2022		Nine months ended September 30, 2022

Organic growth	20.5		21.9
Acquisition	—		2.6
Currency	(4.6)		(3.6)
Total	15.9	%	20.9	%

The 15.9 and 20.9 percentage point increases in net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 from 2021, respectively, were primarily the result of:

•organic sales growth contribution of approximately 7.0% and 9.0% from our industrial business in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 from 2021, respectively, approximately 6.5% and 5.5% from our infrastructure business in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 from 2021, respectively, and approximately 5.5% and 6.0% from our commercial & residential business in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 from 2021, respectively, which includes selective increases in selling prices; and

•increased sales of $47.1 million in first nine months of 2022 as a result of the Vynckier and CIS Global acquisitions.

25

These increases were partially offset by:

•unfavorable foreign currency effects.

Gross profit

The 0.1 and 1.6 percentage point decreases in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 from 2021, respectively, were primarily the result of:

•inflationary increases of raw materials, logistics, labor and energy costs, and supply chain challenges, including increased lead times, due to availability constraints and high demand compared to 2021.

These decreases were partially offset by:

•increases in selling prices to mitigate inflationary cost increases;

•increased sales volume resulting in increased leverage on fixed expenses in cost of goods sold; and

•savings generated from our lean and supply chain management practices.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A")

The 0.9 and 1.4 percentage point decreases in SG&A expense as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 from 2021, respectively, were primarily the result of:

•increased sales volume resulting in increased leverage on fixed operating expenses; and

•savings generated from restructuring and other lean initiatives.

These decreases were partially offset by:

•inflationary increases impacting our labor, professional fees and other administrative costs; and

•investments in digital, selling and marketing to drive growth.

Provision for income taxes

The difference in the effective tax rates in the first nine months of 2022 from 2021 was primarily the result of:

•a $5.2 million one-time benefit recorded in the first nine months of 2021 to reflect an anticipated worthless stock deduction on an investment in a foreign subsidiary.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The primary source of liquidity for our business is cash flows provided by operations. We expect to continue to have cash requirements to support working capital needs and capital expenditures, to pay interest and service debt and to pay dividends to shareholders quarterly. We believe we have the ability and sufficient capacity to meet these cash requirements by using available cash, internally generated funds and borrowing under committed credit facilities. We are focused on increasing our cash flow, while continuing to fund our research and development, sales and marketing and capital investment initiatives. Our intent is to maintain investment grade metrics and a solid liquidity position. As of September 30, 2022, we had $194.0 million of cash on hand, of which $28.6 million is held in certain countries in which the ability to repatriate is limited due to local regulations or significant potential tax consequences.

We experience seasonal cash flows primarily due to increased demand for Electrical & Fastening Solutions products during the spring and summer months in the Northern Hemisphere and increased demand for Thermal Management products and services during the fall and winter months in the Northern Hemisphere.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $199.8 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $258.1 million in the first nine months of 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2022 primarily reflects net income of $327.1 million, net of non-cash depreciation, amortization and changes in deferred taxes, partially offset by a $144.0 million increase in working capital.

Investing activities

Net cash used for investing activities of $37.4 million in the first nine months of 2022 relates primarily to capital expenditures of $30.8 million.

Net cash used for investing activities of $260.2 million in the first nine months of 2021 relates primarily to cash paid for Vynckier and CIS Global acquisitions of $228.0 million, net of cash acquired, and capital expenditures of $25.2 million.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.2 million in the first nine months of 2022 primarily relates to proceeds of long-term debt of $200.0 million, offset by net payments of revolving credit facility of $106.7 million and dividends paid of $87.7 million.

Net cash used for financing activities of $70.7 million in the first nine months of 2021 relates to repayments of long-term debt of $117.5 million, dividends paid of $88.3 million and share repurchases of $20.0 million, offset by proceeds of long-term debt of $100.0 million and net receipts of revolving credit facility of $45.3 million.

The Parent Company Guarantor is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries and the issuance of the Notes and other external debt. The Parent Company Guarantor’s principal source of cash flow, including cash flow to make payments on the Notes pursuant to the guarantees, is dividends from its subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer’s principal source of cash flow is interest income from its subsidiaries. None of the subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer is under any direct obligation to pay or otherwise fund amounts due on the Notes or the guarantees, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, there may be statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends from certain subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer. If such subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer and sufficient cash or liquidity is not otherwise available, the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer may not be able to make principal and interest payments on their outstanding debt, including the Notes or the guarantees.

31

The Notes constitute general unsecured senior obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. The guarantees of the Notes by the Parent Company Guarantor constitute general unsecured obligations of the Parent Company Guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. Subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued contains covenants that, among other things, restrict nVent’s, nVent Finance’s and certain subsidiaries’ ability to merge or consolidate with another person, create liens or engage in sale and lease-back transactions.

There are no significant restrictions on the ability of nVent to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of nVent or its subsidiaries represents restricted net assets pursuant to the guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Senior credit facilities

In March 2018, the Company and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

In September 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the "Senior Credit Facilities"), which amended and restated the March 2018 credit agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility are permitted on a delayed draw basis during the first year of the five-year term of the Term Loan Facility, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are permitted from time to time during the full five-year term of the Revolving Credit Facility. In September 2022, nVent exercised the delayed draw provision of the Term Loan Facility, increasing the total borrowings under the Term Loan Facility by $200.0 million to $300.0 million. nVent Finance has the option to request to increase the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate, London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) or Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on, at nVent Finance’s election, the Company's leverage level or public credit rating.

As of September 30, 2022, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $600.0 million.

Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which are in the Senior Credit Facilities, including that we may not 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 nVent Finance's election and subject to certain conditions, 4.25 to 1.00 for four testing periods in connection with certain material acquisitions) 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. In addition, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the Senior Credit Facilities also contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to create liens, merge or consolidate with another person, make acquisitions and incur subsidiary debt. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our debt agreements, and there is no material uncertainty about our ongoing ability to meet those covenants.

Share repurchases

On July 23, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our ordinary shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $500.0 million (the "2018 Authorization"). On February 19, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our ordinary shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $380.0 million (the "2019 Authorization"). The 2018 Authorization and 2019 Authorization expired on July 23, 2021.

On May 14, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of our ordinary shares up to a maximum dollar limit of $300.0 million (the "2021 Authorization"). The 2021 Authorization began on July 23, 2021 upon expiration of the 2018 Authorization and the 2019 Authorization, and expires on July 22, 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 0.1 million of our ordinary shares for $3.9 million under the 2021 Authorization. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we purchased 0.9 million of our ordinary shares for $20.0 million under the 2018 Authorization.

32

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, outstanding share repurchases recorded in Other current liabilities were zero and $4.6 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $200.0 million available for share repurchases under the 2021 Authorization.

Dividends

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we paid dividends of $87.7 million, or $0.525 per ordinary share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we paid dividends of $88.3 million, or $0.525 per ordinary share.

On September 27, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.175 per ordinary share payable on November 4, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on October 21, 2022. The balance of dividends payable included in Other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $30.3 million and $30.5 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Other financial measures

In addition to measuring our cash flow generation or usage based upon operating, investing and financing classifications included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we also measure our free cash flow. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use to assess our cash flow performance. We believe free cash flow is an important measure of liquidity because it provides us and our investors a measurement of cash generated from operations that is available to pay dividends, make acquisitions, repay debt and repurchase shares. In addition, free cash flow is used as a criterion to measure and pay annual incentive compensation. Our measure of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following table is a reconciliation of free cash flow:

	Nine months ended
In millions	September 30, 2022		September 30, 2021
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities	$	199.8	$	258.1
Capital expenditures	(30.8)		(25.2)
Proceeds from sale of property and equipment	2.0		0.1
Free cash flow	$	171.0	$	233.0

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. In our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those previously disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements

Business

nVent Electric plc ("nVent," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of electrical connection and protection solutions. The Company is comprised of three reporting segments: Enclosures, Electrical & Fastening Solutions and Thermal Management.

The Company was incorporated in Ireland on May 30, 2017. Although our jurisdiction of organization is Ireland, we manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") and have tax residency in the U.K.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of nVent have been prepared following the requirements of the 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 and combined 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.

The $9.8 million decrease in net contract assets from December 31, 2021 to September 30, 2022 was primarily the result of timing of milestone payments. The majority of our contract liabilities at December 31, 2021 were recognized in revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. There were no material impairment losses recognized on our contract assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Remaining performance obligations

We have elected the practical expedient to disclose only the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or more. On September 30, 2022, we had $31.9 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.

Acquisitions

Acquisitions

On April 1, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Vynckier Enclosure Systems, Inc. ("Vynckier") for approximately $27.0 million in cash. Vynckier is a U.S. based manufacturer of high-quality non-metallic enclosures that we market as part of the nVent HOFFMAN product line within our Enclosures segment.

The excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired has been allocated to

goodwill in the amount of $13.5 million, substantially all of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired included $6.1 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 11 years.

On June 30, 2021, we acquired CIS Global LLC ("CIS Global") for approximately $202.4 million in cash. The CIS Global business is a leading provider of intelligent rack power distribution and server slides products, and operates within our Enclosures segment. The purchase price was funded primarily through borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 9).

The excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill in the amount of $83.5 million, of which $50.0 million is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets acquired included $78.0 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 16 years and $24.5 million of developed technology with an estimated useful life of 9 years to 12 years.

The pro forma impact of these acquisitions is not material individually or in the aggregate.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives and Financial Instruments

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. We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain market-based risks through the use of derivative instruments. These derivative instruments primarily consist of forward foreign currency contracts used to mitigate foreign currency exposure for certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. Our objective in holding these derivatives is to reduce the volatility in net earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency rates. The majority of our foreign currency contracts have an original maturity date of less than one year. These foreign currency contracts are not designated as hedging instruments; accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in current period earnings.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $141.9 million and $180.1 million, respectively. The impact of these contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income 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 $316.6 million and $369.1 million, respectively. The agreements are accounted for as either cash flow hedges or fair value 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. In the third quarter of 2022, as a result of an early settlement of a cross currency swap instrument, $10.0 million of cash flows has been reflected as a component of financing cash flows and $0.3 million of expense was recorded to Selling, general and administrative expense from Accumulated other comprehensive loss. We entered a cross currency swap with a gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amount of $121.0 million to replace the terminated agreement, which we designated as a fair value hedge to offset foreign currency risk associated with intercompany debt. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had deferred foreign currency gains of $23.2 million and $16.7 million, respectively, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with our cross currency swap agreements.

Interest rate swaps

We are also exposed to interest rate risk fluctuations in connection with the planned issuance of long-term debt. To manage the volatility related to this exposure, we may use forward starting interest rate swaps to fix a portion of the interest cost associated with anticipated future financings. In 2020, we entered into a forward starting interest rate swap to hedge the variability of cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark swap interest rate (London Inter-Bank Offer Rate) associated with the anticipated refinancing of the 2023 Notes (as defined below). The interest rate swap contract has a notional amount of $200.0 million, and was settled in the fourth quarter of 2021 in conjunction with the issuance of the 2031 Notes (as defined below). Accordingly, cash flows of $9.6 million relating to the settlement of interest rate swaps hedging the forecasted issuance of debt have been reflected as a component of financing cash flows. The resulting gain from the settlement is deferred to Accumulated other comprehensive loss, and is being reclassified to interest expense over the term of the 2031 Notes (underlying debt). This reclassification of the deferred gain impacts the interest expense recognized on the underlying debt that was hedged, and is therefore reflected as a component of operating cash flows in periods subsequent to settlement.

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, cross currency swap and interest rate swap 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 underlying securities owned by the fund 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:

	September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
In millions	Recorded Amount		Fair Value		Recorded Amount		Fair Value

Senior notes
In March 2018, nVent Finance S.à r.l. (“nVent Finance” or "Subsidiary Issuer"), a 100-percent owned subsidiary of nVent, issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.950% senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.550% senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes").

In November 2021, nVent Finance issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.750% senior notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes, the "Notes"). In December 2021, the Company redeemed the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes.

Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and interest on the 2031 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment by nVent (the "Parent Company Guarantor"). There are no subsidiaries that guarantee the Notes. The Parent Company Guarantor is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries and the issuance of the Notes and other external debt. The Parent Company Guarantor’s principal source of cash flow, including cash flow to make payments on the Notes pursuant to the guarantees, is dividends from its subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer’s principal source of cash flow is interest income from its subsidiaries. None of the subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer is under any direct obligation to pay or otherwise fund amounts due on the Notes or the guarantees, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, there may be statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends from certain subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer. If such subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer and sufficient cash or liquidity is not otherwise available, the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer may not be able to make principal and interest payments on their outstanding debt, including the Notes or the guarantees.

The Notes constitute general unsecured senior obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. The guarantees of the Notes by the Parent Company Guarantor constitute general unsecured obligations of the Parent Company Guarantor and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. Subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued contains covenants that, among other things, restrict nVent’s, nVent Finance’s and certain subsidiaries’ ability to merge or consolidate with another person, create liens or engage in sale and lease-back transactions.

There are no significant restrictions on the ability of nVent to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of nVent or its subsidiaries represents restricted net assets pursuant to the guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Senior credit facilities

In March 2018, the Company and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

In September 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the "Senior Credit Facilities"), which amended and restated the March 2018 credit agreement. Borrowings under the Term Loan Facility are permitted on a delayed draw basis during the first year of the five-year term of the Term Loan Facility, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are permitted from time to time during the full five-year term of the Revolving Credit Facility. In September 2022, nVent exercised the delayed draw provision of the Term Loan Facility, increasing the total borrowings under the Term Loan Facility by $200.0 million to $300.0 million. nVent Finance has the option to request to increase the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders.

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate, London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) or Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on, at nVent Finance’s election, the Company's leverage level or public credit rating.

As of September 30, 2022, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $600.0 million.

Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which are in the Senior Credit Facilities, including that we may not 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 nVent Finance's election and subject to certain conditions, 4.25 to 1.00 for four testing periods in connection with certain material acquisitions) 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. In addition, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the Senior Credit Facilities also contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to create liens, merge or consolidate with another person, make acquisitions and incur subsidiary debt. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our debt agreements, and there is no material uncertainty about our ongoing ability to meet those covenants.

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

	Q4

Commitments and Contingencies

Warranties and guarantees

In connection with the disposition of our 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 obligation under such indemnifications is 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 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.

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. Our liability for service and product warranties as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was not material.

Stand-by letters of credit, bank guarantees and bonds

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 $37.8 million and $38.2 million, respectively.
