Xylem (NYSE:XYL) executives reported 'outstanding' fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, pointing to continued demand strength, expanding margins, and progress on the company's multi-year operating model transformation. CEO Matthew Pine said Xylem is now entering 'phase II' of its plan, aimed at strengthening the growth engine through sales force effectiveness, product management, and innovation. The company provided 2026 guidance, including an expected 'outsized headwind' to the top line as it accelerates '80/20' simplification efforts.
Why it matters
Xylem's strong 2025 performance and forward guidance highlight the company's ability to navigate macroeconomic challenges and execute on its strategic transformation. As a leading global water technology provider, Xylem's results offer insights into broader industry trends and the health of end markets such as utilities, industrial, and commercial construction.
The details
Xylem reported record fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, with CEO Matthew Pine emphasizing 'outstanding' performance that reflects progress in 'phase I' of the company's plan, which has focused on simplifying the operating model, strengthening culture, and improving processes and systems. The company is now entering 'phase II,' aimed at strengthening the growth engine. Chief Financial Officer Mark Grogan attributed margin expansion to productivity and price more than offsetting inflation, and said operational discipline drove the fourth-quarter margin performance. Xylem is accelerating its '80/20' simplification efforts, which will create an 'outsized headwind' to the 2026 top line of roughly 2%, about double the impact seen in 2025.
