Pentair paid a regular cash dividend of $0.20 per share in the second quarter of 2021. Pentair previously announced on May 4, 2021 that it will pay a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share on August 6, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 23, 2021. This year marks the 45th consecutive year that Pentair has increased its dividend.

John L. Stauch, Pentair’s President and Chief Executive Officer commented: “We were pleased to deliver a strong second quarter with sales up over 30 percent, adjusted EPS growth greater than 40 percent, and free cash flow up over $100 million in the first half of the year. I would like to thank our Pentair teams for helping deliver these results even in the face of unprecedented material shortages and inflation.”

“Our orders continued to grow and our backlog ended the quarter at record levels. We believe our order trajectory gives us increased confidence not only in our ability to keep growing in the second half, but it also gives us comfort that the top line momentum we have built the past several quarters will carry over into next year. Our Transformation work is on track and we have built a strong pipeline of initiatives across the enterprise. Regarding the current inflationary environment, we have implemented further price increases and we expect the price/cost gap to further narrow in the second half.”

“Our cash flow remained robust and our balance sheet is in a very solid position. We have a strong M&A pipeline tied to our strategic growth initiatives and we plan to remain disciplined with our capital allocation.”

Outlook

The company updates its estimated 2021 GAAP EPS from continuing operations to approximately $3.13 to $3.23 and on an adjusted EPS basis to approximately $3.30 to $3.40. The company updates full year 2021 sales guidance to be up approximately 21 to 23 percent on a reported basis. The company expects full year free cash flow of greater than or equal to 100 percent of net income.

In addition, the company introduces third quarter 2021 GAAP EPS from continuing operations guidance of $0.77 to $0.81 and on an adjusted EPS basis of $0.81 to $0.85. The company expects third quarter sales to be up approximately 16 to 19 percent on a reported basis compared to the third quarter of 2020.
