General



As previously disclosed, on July 1, 2022, we completed our combination with
Elkay Manufacturing Company ("Elkay") through the merger of Elkay with and into
a newly created subsidiary of the Company, with Elkay surviving as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Zurn Elkay (the "Merger" or "Elkay Transaction"). In
conjunction with the Merger, we changed our name from Zurn Water Solutions
Corporation to Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation. Our results of operations
include the acquired operations subsequent to July 1, 2022. See Item 1, Note 2,
Acquisitions, for additional information on the Elkay Transaction.

Following the merger with Elkay, Zurn Elkay is a growth-oriented, pure-play
water management business that designs, procures, manufactures, and markets what
we believe to be the broadest sustainable product portfolio of
specification-driven water management solutions to improve health, human safety
and the environment. Our product portfolio includes professional grade water
control and safety, water distribution and drainage, drinking water, finish
plumbing, hygienic, environmental and site works products for public and private
spaces that deliver superior value to building owners, positively impact the
environment and human hygiene and reduce product installation time. Our heritage
of innovation and specification has allowed us to provide highly-engineered,
mission-critical solutions to customers for decades and affords us the privilege
of having long-term, valued relationships with market leaders. We operate in a
disciplined way and the Zurn Elkay Business System ("ZEBS"), described below, is
our operating philosophy. Grounded in the spirit of continuous improvement, ZEBS
creates a scalable, process-based framework that focuses on driving superior
customer satisfaction and financial results by targeting world-class operating
performance throughout all aspects of our business.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, along with Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A"), in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



  The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
("GAAP"), which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial
statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Refer to Item 7, MD&A, of our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for information with respect
to our critical accounting policies which we believe could have the most
significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex
judgments by management. Except for the items reported below, management
believes that as of September 30, 2022, and during the period from January 1,
2022 through September 30, 2022, there has been no material change to this
information.

See Item 1, Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies regarding recent accounting pronouncements.

Acquisitions



On July 1, 2022, we completed the Elkay Merger for a preliminary purchase price
of $1,462.9 million. Elkay, a market leader of commercial sinks and drinking
water solutions, complements our existing product portfolio. The preliminary
purchase price includes $1,417.0 million of our common stock based on the
closing stock price of $27.48 on July 1, 2022, and $45.9 million of net cash
payments for the repayment of Elkay's existing term loan and Elkay's transaction
related costs outstanding that were in excess of Elkay's cash and cash
equivalents balance at the time of closing. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we
issued 51,564,524 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of our
common stock, which represented approximately 29% of the 177,746,770 outstanding
shares of our common stock immediately following the Merger closing. The total
shares of our common stock issued is preliminary and subject to change upon
finalization of customary post-closing adjustments with respect to cash,
indebtedness and working capital. We incurred transaction-related costs of
approximately $33.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2022. These costs were associated with legal and professional services and were
recognized as selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed
consolidated statements of operations.

On November 17, 2021, we completed the acquisition of the Wade Drains business
("Wade Drains") from McWane, Inc. for a cash purchase price of $12.6 million,
excluding transaction costs and net of cash acquired. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, we received a $1.1 million cash payment from the
sellers of Wade Drains in connection with finalizing the acquisition date trade
working capital, which is included in the total cash purchase price above. Wade
Drains manufactures a wide range of specified commercial plumbing products for
customers across North America and complements our existing flow systems product
portfolio.

On April 16, 2021, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Advance
Technology Solutions, LLC (d/b/a ATS GREASEwatch) ("ATS GREASEwatch") for a
total cash purchase price of $4.5 million. ATS GREASEwatch, headquartered in
Saginaw, Michigan, develops, manufactures and markets remote tank monitoring
devices, alarms, software and services for various applications and provides
technology to enhance and expand our current product offerings within our
existing product portfolio.

Spin-Off of Process & Motion Control Segment



On October 4, 2021, we completed a Reverse Morris Trust tax-free spin-off
transaction (the "Spin-off Transaction") in which (i) substantially all the
assets and liabilities of our Process & Motion Control ("PMC") business were
transferred to a newly created subsidiary, Land Newco, Inc. ("Land"), (ii) the
shares of Land were distributed to our stockholders pro rata, and (iii) Land was
merged with a subsidiary of Regal Rexnord Corporation (formerly known as Regal
Beloit Corporation), in which the stock of Land was converted into a specified
number of shares of Regal Rexnord Corporation. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, we received $35.0 million from Regal Rexnord Corporation as
a result of the final working capital and cash balances at closing exceeding the
targets stipulated in the Spin-Off Transaction agreement.

The operating results of PMC are reported as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the period ended September 30, 2021 has not been adjusted to separately disclose cash flows related to the discontinued operations. See Item 1, Note 4, Discontinued Operations for additional information on cash flows associated with the discontinued operations.

Restructuring and Other Similar Costs



  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we executed various
restructuring initiatives focused on driving efficiencies, reducing operating
costs by modifying our footprint to reflect changes in the markets we serve and
the impact of acquisitions on our overall manufacturing capacity and the
refinement of our overall product portfolio. These restructuring actions
primarily resulted in workforce reductions, impairment of related manufacturing
facilities, equipment and intangible assets, lease termination costs, and other
facility rationalization costs. We expect to continue executing similar
initiatives to optimize our operating margin and manufacturing footprint. As
such, we expect further expenses related to workforce reductions, lease
termination costs, and other facility rationalization costs on our overall
manufacturing capacity, and refining our overall product portfolio. For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, restructuring charges
totaled $11.7 million and $13.1 million, respectively. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2021, restructuring charges totaled $0.7 million and
$1.6 million, respectively. Refer to Item 1, Note 3, Restructuring and Other
Similar Charges for further information.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 compared with the Three Months Ended
September 30, 2021:

Net sales were $417.7 million and $229.7 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, an increase of 82%
year-over-year. Excluding a 67 % increase in sales associated with our
combination with Elkay and prior year acquisition of Wade Drains and a 1%
decrease in sales associated with foreign currency translation, core sales
increased 16% year-over-year as nearly all of our product categories, with the
exception of products sold into the residential end market, contributed to the
sales growth.

Income (loss) from operations

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we generated a loss from
operations of $(10.1) million compared to income from operations of $32.5
million during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The year-over-year
change is primarily the result of transaction related costs related to the Elkay
Merger and higher intangible asset and other acquisition related amortization
and restructuring costs following our combination with Elkay. These costs were
partially offset by the favorable impact of year-over-year sales growth
(inclusive of price realization) and productivity savings.

Interest expense, net



  Interest expense, net was $8.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2022, compared to $9.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense as compared to the prior
year period is primarily a result of the lower outstanding borrowings following
the Spin-Off Transaction refinancing, partially offset by a higher
year-over-year interest rate. See Item 1, Note 13 Long-Term Debt for more
information.

Other income (expense), net



  Other income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and
2021, was $0.6 million and $(0.8) million, respectively. Other income (expense),
net consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and losses and the
non-service cost components associated with our defined benefit plans.

Provision for income taxes



The income tax provision was $1.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2022, compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2021. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended
September 30, 2022 was (9.1)% versus 26.1% for the three months ended
September 30, 2021. The income tax provision recognized on the loss from
operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily due to
non-deductible transactions costs associated with the Merger, the accrual of
foreign income taxes, which are generally above the U.S. federal statutory rate,
the accrual of additional income taxes associated with compensation deduction
limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the accrual
of various state income taxes, partially offset by the reduction in the
valuation allowance associated with certain state net operating loss ("NOL")
carryforwards. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended
September 30, 2021 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily
due to the accrual of foreign income taxes, which are generally above the U.S.
federal statutory rate, the accrual of additional income taxes associated with
compensation deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code, and the accrual of various state income taxes, partially offset by the
recognition of income tax benefits associated with share-based payments.

On a quarterly basis, we review and analyze our valuation allowances associated
with deferred tax assets relating to certain foreign and state net operating
loss carryforwards as well as U.S. federal and state capital loss carryforwards.
In conjunction with this analysis, we weigh both positive and negative evidence
for purposes of determining the proper balances
                                       30

of such valuation allowances. Future changes to the balances of these valuation
allowances, as a result of our continued review and analysis, could impact the
financial statements for such period of change.

Net (loss) income attributable to Zurn Elkay common stockholders



  Net loss attributable to Zurn Elkay common stockholders for the three months
ended September 30, 2022, was $19.1 million compared to net income of
$64.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Diluted net (loss)
income per share attributable to Zurn Elkay common stockholders for the three
months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, was $(0.11) and $0.51,
respectively. The year over year change is the result of the PMC operations
classified as discontinued operations in the prior year and the other factors
described above. Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $0.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $48.0 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Diluted net income per share from
discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and
September 30, 2021, was $0.00 and $0.38, respectively.

Net sales were $941.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022,
an increase of 39% year over year. Excluding a 24% increase in sales associated
with our combination with Elkay and prior year acquisition of Wade Drains, core
sales increased 15% year over year as nearly all of our product categories
contributed to the sales growth.

Income from operations was $87.3 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, or 9.3% of net sales. The year over year change is primarily
the result of transaction related costs related to the Elkay merger and higher
intangible asset and other acquisition related amortization and restructuring
costs following our combination with Elkay as well as higher year-over-year
costs within transportation and material inputs. These costs were partially
offset by the favorable impact of year-over-year sales growth (inclusive of
price realization) and productivity savings.

Interest expense, net



  Interest expense, net was $18.0 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, compared to $29.6 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2021. The decrease in interest expense as compared to the prior
year period is primarily a result of the lower outstanding borrowings following
the Spin-Off Transaction refinancing, partially offset by a higher year over
year interest rate. See Item 1, Note 13 Long-Term Debt for more information.

Other income (expense), net



  Other income (expense), net during the nine months ended September 30, 2022
and 2021 was $0.3 million and $(0.9) million, respectively. Other income
(expense), net consists primarily of foreign currency transaction gains and
losses and the non-service cost components associated with our defined benefit
plans.

Provision for income taxes

The income tax provision was $22.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, compared to $16.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 was 32.9% versus 26.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 was above the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily
due to non-deductible transactions costs associated with the Merger, the accrual
of foreign income taxes, which are generally above the U.S. federal statutory
rate, the accrual of additional income taxes associated with compensation
deduction limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and the
accrual of various state income taxes, partially offset by the recognition of
income tax benefits associated with share-based payments and the reduction in
the valuation allowance associated with certain state NOL carryforwards. The
effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was above
the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the accrual of foreign
income taxes, which are generally above the U.S. federal statutory rate, the
accrual of additional income taxes associated with compensation deduction
limitations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the accrual
of various state income taxes, partially offset by the recognition of income tax
benefits associated with share-based payments.

Net income attributable to Zurn Elkay common stockholders



Net income attributable to Zurn Elkay common stockholders for the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, was $47.5 million compared to $187.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021. Diluted net income per share attributable
to Zurn Elkay common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2022
and September 30, 2021, was $0.33 and $1.50, respectively. The year-over-year
change is the result of the PMC operations classified as discontinued operations
in the prior year and the other factors described above. Net income from
discontinued operations, net of tax, was $0.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 compared to $140.6 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021. Diluted net income per share from discontinued operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, was $0.01
and $1.13, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

  Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and not replace
financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following non-GAAP
financial measures are utilized by management in comparing our operating
performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these financial measures are
appropriate to enhance an overall understanding of our underlying operating
performance trends compared to historical and prospective periods and our peers.
Management also believes that these measures are useful to investors in their
analysis of our results of operations and provide improved comparability between
fiscal periods as well as insight into the compliance with our debt covenants.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a
substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures
to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Core sales



  Core sales excludes the impact of acquisitions (such as the Wade Drains and
Elkay acquisitions), divestitures and foreign currency translation. Management
believes that core sales facilitates easier and more meaningful comparisons of
our net sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We
exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because the nature, size and
number can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers,
and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of
long-term performance difficult. We exclude the effect of foreign currency
translation from this measure because the volatility of currency translation is
not under management's control.

EBITDA



  EBITDA represents earnings before interest and other debt related activities,
taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is an
important supplemental measure of performance and it is frequently used by
analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies
in our industry. EBITDA is also presented and compared by analysts and investors
in evaluating our ability to meet debt service obligations. Other companies in
our industry may calculate EBITDA differently. EBITDA is not a measurement of
financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative
to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity or an
alternative to net income as indicators of operating performance or any other
measures of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is
calculated before recurring cash charges, including interest expense and taxes,
and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash
requirements of the business, it should not be considered as a measure of
discretionary cash available to invest in the growth of the business.

Adjusted EBITDA

  Adjusted EBITDA (as described below in "Covenant Compliance") is an important
measure because, under our credit agreement, our ability to incur certain types
of acquisition debt and certain types of subordinated debt, make certain types
of acquisitions or asset exchanges, operate our business and make dividends or
other distributions, all of which will impact our financial performance, is
impacted by our Adjusted EBITDA, as our lenders measure our performance with a
net first lien leverage ratio by comparing our senior secured bank indebtedness
to our Adjusted EBITDA (see "Covenant Compliance" for additional discussion of
this ratio, including a reconciliation to our net income). We reported net
income attributable to Zurn Elkay common stockholders in the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, of $47.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA for the same period of
$200.0 million. See "Covenant Compliance" for a reconciliation of Adjusted
EBITDA to GAAP net income.

Covenant Compliance



  Our credit agreement, which governs our senior secured credit facilities,
contains, among other provisions, restrictive covenants regarding indebtedness,
payments and distributions, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, affiliate
transactions, capital expenditures and the maintenance of certain financial
ratios. Payment of borrowings under the credit agreement may be accelerated if
there is an event of default. Events of default include the failure to pay
principal and interest when due, a material breach of a representation or
warranty, certain non-payments or defaults under other indebtedness, covenant
defaults, events of bankruptcy and a change of control. Certain covenants
contained in the credit agreement restrict our ability to take certain actions,
such as incurring additional debt or making acquisitions, if we are unable to
comply with a maximum total net leverage ratio of 5.00 to 1.00 as of the end of
each fiscal quarter. At September 30, 2022, our net leverage ratio was 1.61 to
1.00. Failure to comply with these covenants could limit our long-term growth
prospects by hindering our ability to borrow under the revolver, to obtain
future debt and/or to make acquisitions.

  "Adjusted EBITDA" is the term we use to describe EBITDA as defined and
adjusted in our credit agreement, which is net income, adjusted for the items
summarized in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA is intended to show our
unleveraged, pre-tax operating results and therefore reflects our financial
performance based on operational factors, excluding non-operational, non-cash or
non-recurring losses or gains. It is also provided to aid investors in
understanding our compliance with our debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA is not a
presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the term Adjusted
EBITDA varies from others in our industry. This measure should not be considered
as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance
measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important
limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or
as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example,
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (a) our capital expenditures, future
requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) changes
in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) interest expenses,
or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on
our debt; (d) tax payments that represent a reduction in cash available to us;
(e) any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that
may have to be replaced in the future; or (f) the impact of earnings or charges
resulting from matters that we and the lenders under our credit agreement may
not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. In particular, our definition
of Adjusted EBITDA adds back certain non-cash, non-operating or non-recurring
charges that are deducted in calculating net income, even though these are
expenses that may recur, vary greatly and are difficult to predict and can
represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results.

  In addition, certain of these excluded expenses can represent the reduction of
cash that could be used for other corporate purposes. Further, although not
included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA below, the measure may at times
allow us to add estimated cost savings and operating synergies related to
operational changes ranging from acquisitions or dispositions to restructuring,
and/or exclude one-time transition expenditures that we anticipate we will need
to incur to realize cost savings before such savings have occurred.

The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA under our credit agreement as of September 30, 2022, is presented in the table below. However, the results of such calculation could differ in the future based on the different types of adjustments that may be included in such respective calculations at the time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Our primary sources of liquidity are available cash and cash equivalents, cash
flow from operations, and borrowing availability of up to $200.0 million under
our revolving credit facility.

  As of September 30, 2022, we had $71.9 million of cash and cash equivalents
and $192.4 million of additional borrowing capacity. As of September 30, 2022,
the available borrowings under our credit facility were reduced by $7.6 million
due to outstanding letters of credit. As of December 31, 2021, we had $96.6
million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $193.9 million of
additional borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility.

Our revolving credit facility is available to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes. We believe this resource is adequate for our expected needs.

Cash Flows



  Cash flows for the period ended September 30, 2021 include our continuing
operations and discontinued operations for the entire period, while the period
ended September 30, 2022 only includes the cash flows associated with continuing
operations. Refer to Item 1, Note 4, Discontinued Operations for further
information.

Cash provided by operating activities was $12.6 million and $245.8 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The
change in year-over-year operating cash flows was primarily the result of higher
trade working capital and the impact of timing of payments on accounts payable
and accrued expenses, including the payment of merger related costs in
connection with the acquisition of Elkay during the nine months ended
September 30, 2022. In addition, cash provided by operating activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021 includes cash flows associated with our
discontinued operations that are not included in the nine months ended September
30, 2022.

  Cash used for investing activities was $12.8 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2022 and $6.5 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2021. Investing activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 2022, included $4.3 million of capital expenditures and net cash
payments of $44.8 million in connection with acquisitions, which were partially
offset by the receipt of $35.0 million from Regal Rexnord Corporation in
connection with the final net assets transferred in the PMC Spin-Off Translation
and the receipt of $1.3 million in connection with the sale of certain
long-lived assets. Investing activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, primarily included $21.6 million of capital expenditures and
net cash payments of $3.4 million in connection with our acquisition of ATS
GREASEwatch and our 2020 acquisition of Hadrian, partially offset by the receipt
of $18.5 million in connection with the sale of certain long-lived assets
associated with our discontinued operations.

  Cash used for financing activities was $23.1 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2022, compared to $13.1 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we utilized
a net $4.4 million of cash for payments on outstanding debt and $20.1 million
for the payment of common stock dividends, which was partially offset by $1.4
million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, net of taxes withheld
and paid on employees' share-based awards. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2021, we utilized $1.7 million of cash for payments on
outstanding debt, $32.6 million for the payment of common stock dividends and
$0.9 million to repurchase common stock, which was partially offset by
$22.1 million of cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options, net of taxes
withheld and paid on employees' share-based awards.

Indebtedness

As of September 30, 2022, we had $537.0 million of total indebtedness outstanding as follows (in millions):
