WATTS WATER TECHNOLOGIES REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2019 RESULTS
AND ANNOUNCES THE PURCHASE OF BACKFLOW DIRECT LLC

· Reported sales of $395 million, +1%

· Organic sales growth +2%, foreign exchange -1%

· GAAP and adjusted operating margin of 12.4% and 13.3%, respectively, both +40 basis points

· GAAP EPS of $0.94, +2%; adjusted EPS of $1.04, +5%

· Second half 2019 organic growth in line with previous outlook

*Performance relative to comparable third quarter ended September 30, 2018.

North Andover, MA…October 30, 2019.  Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: WTS) today announced third quarter 2019 results.

Sales during the third quarter of $395 million increased 1% compared to the same period in 2018. Third quarter net income per diluted share (EPS) on a GAAP basis was $0.94 as compared to $0.92 for the same period last year.  Adjusted for special items, third quarter EPS was $1.04 as compared to $0.99 for the same period last year.  Both GAAP and adjusted EPS increases were attributable to higher prices, increased productivity and reduced non-operating expenses.  GAAP EPS in the third quarter of 2019 was negatively impacted primarily by professional fees incurred to optimize and simplify our European legal structure and gain a deeper understanding of product/customer profitability by end market, as well as acquisition related costs.  In 2018, GAAP EPS was impacted by restructuring charges. A summary of third quarter financial results is as follows:

(In millions, except per share information)	Third Quarter Ended
	September 29,		September 30,
	2019		2018		% Change
Sales	$	394.7	$	390.9	1	%
Net income	$	32.3	$	31.5	3	%
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.94	$	0.92	2	%
Special items (1) per share	$	0.10	$	0.07
Adjusted earnings per share (1)	$	1.04	$	0.99	5	%

(1) Special items and adjusted earnings per share represent non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP items please see the tables attached to this press release.

The Company also announced it completed the purchase of substantially all the assets of Backflow Direct LLC, based in Rancho Cordova, California.  Backflow Direct specializes in the design and manufacture of backflow prevention valves used primarily in fire protection applications.

Chief Executive Officer, Robert J. Pagano Jr., noted, “We continued to drive solid operating results during the quarter.  We delivered record third quarter sales, operating margin and EPS, on both a GAAP and adjusted basis.  Operating margin continued to benefit from increased price and productivity initiatives.  Our current 2019 second half organic sales growth expectations are in line with our August outlook.  The acquisition of Backflow Direct will allow us to better meet the needs of our customers through a broader product offering and enhance our R&D efforts.”

Financial Highlights

· Third quarter sales increased 1% and 2% on a reported and organic basis, respectively, compared to the third quarter last year; reported and adjusted operating margin both increased 40 basis points. Regionally:

Americas

· Sales increased 3% on a reported and organic basis with growth in plumbing, drains and water quality products. Sales growth was driven by incremental price and higher volume.

· Operating margin increased 90 basis points to 18.0% and 100 basis points to 18.1% on a reported and adjusted basis, respectively. Operating margin benefited from price and productivity, partially offset by investments and general inflation.

Europe

· Sales for the third quarter were down 3% on a reported basis, driven by negative foreign exchange year over year. Organic sales were up 1% from growth in drains and plumbing products.

· Reported operating margin increased 280 basis point to 11.2%, primarily related to a $3.4 million restructuring charge incurred in the prior year’s third quarter. Adjusted operating margin decreased 30 basis points to 11.2%, as the benefits of incremental price and productivity were more than offset by increased investments and the timing of costs in the quarter.

Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa (“APMEA”)

· Reported sales were down 1% compared to the third quarter of 2018 and increased 1% on an organic basis.  Sales increases were driven primarily by higher volume in China, partially offset by continued softness in the Middle East and Korea.

· Reported and adjusted operating margin both decreased 640 basis points to 8.7%.  The decreases were driven by a significant reduction in affiliate volume, planned investments and sales mix, partially offset by productivity savings.

· For the first nine months of 2019, operating cash flow was $95 million, net capital expenditures were $19 million and free cash flow was $76 million.  In the comparable period last year, operating cash flow was $67 million, net capital expenditures were $24 million and free cash flow was $43 million.  Operating cash flow and free cash flow increased due to higher income and decreases in inventory and tax payments.   Free cash flow also increased from reduced capital expenditures.  We expect continued improvement in both operating cash flow and free cash flow during the fourth quarter of 2019, due to normal seasonality.

· The Company repatriated $7 million in cash during the third quarter.  For the first nine months of 2018, $37 million had been repatriated, a majority of which was used to pay down revolving debt.

· The Company repurchased approximately 48,000 shares of Class A common stock at a cost of $4.5 million during the third quarter. For the first nine months of 2019, we purchased approximately 178,000 shares at a cost of $14.8 million, which offset dilution from our stock compensation programs.

For a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP items and a statement regarding the usefulness of these measures to investors and management in evaluating our operating performance, please see the tables attached to this press release.

Key Performance Indicators and Non-GAAP Measures

In this press release, we refer to non-GAAP financial measures (including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margins, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, organic sales, free cash flow, cash conversion rate of free cash flow to net income, and net debt to capitalization ratio) and provide a reconciliation of those non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding financial measures contained in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these financial measures enhance the overall understanding of our historical financial performance and give insight into our future prospects. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margins, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share eliminate certain expenses incurred in the periods presented that relate primarily to our global restructuring programs, professional fees incurred to optimize and simplify our European legal structure and gain a deeper understanding of product/customer profitability by end market, acquisition related costs and footprint optimization costs. Management then utilizes these adjusted financial measures to assess the run-rate of the Company’s operations against those of comparable periods.  Organic sales growth is a non-GAAP measure of sales growth excluding the impacts of foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestitures from period-over-period comparisons. Management believes reporting organic sales growth provides useful information to investors, potential investors and others, and allows for a more complete understanding of underlying sales trends by providing sales growth on a consistent basis. Free cash flow, cash conversion rate of free cash flow to net income, and the net debt to capitalization ratio, which are adjusted to exclude certain cash inflows and outlays, and include only certain balance sheet accounts from the comparable GAAP measures, are an indication of our performance in cash flow generation and also provide an indication of the Company's relative balance sheet leverage to other industrial manufacturing companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are among the primary indicators management uses as a basis for evaluating our cash flow generation and our capitalization structure. In addition, free cash flow is used as a criterion to measure and pay certain compensation-based incentives. For these reasons, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures can be useful to investors, potential investors and others. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
