MANCHESTER, United Kingdom - October 21, 2014 - Pentair plc (NYSE: PNR) today announced third quarter 2014 sales of $1.8 billion. Sales were up 3 percent compared to sales for the same period last year. Third quarter 2014 earnings per diluted share from continuing operations ("EPS") were $1.00, up 22 percent from adjusted EPS of $0.82 in the third quarter of last year. On a GAAP basis, the company reported EPS of $0.81 in the third quarter of 2013. Adjusted EPS and operating income exclude repositioning costs, acquisition and redomicile-related expenses, gain/loss on sale of a business and certain tax items.

Third quarter 2014 operating income was $267 million, up 12 percent compared to adjusted operating income for third quarter 2013, and operating margins were 15.2 percent, an expansion of 130 basis points when compared to adjusted 2013 operating margins.  Price and productivity more than offset inflation during the quarter.

Free cash flow in the quarter was over $260 million and $600 million for the first nine months of 2014.  The company expects to deliver full year free cash flow greater than 110 percent of net income.

On July 28, 2014 Pentair's Board of Directors approved a decision to exit its Water Transport business in Australia.  The results of the Water Transport business have been presented as discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities of the Water Transport business have been reclassified as held for sale for all periods presented.  In connection with the decision to exit the business, Pentair recognized an impairment charge of $380 million, net of tax, in the third quarter of 2014, representing our estimated loss on disposal.

Pentair paid dividends of $0.30 per share in the third quarter of 2014.  Pentair had previously announced on May 20, 2014 the approval by its shareholders of an ordinary cash dividend of $1.20 per share in four equal quarterly installments of $0.30 in each of the third and fourth quarter of 2014 and the first and second quarter of 2015.  Pentair has increased its dividend for 38 consecutive years.

"All five of our verticals contributed to growth this quarter," said Randall J. Hogan, Pentair Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "Superior execution drove another quarter of robust margin expansion and a sixth consecutive quarter of EPS growth greater than 20 percent."

"With our third quarter results exceeding our prior forecast, we are raising our full year expectations," said Hogan.  "The progress we have made in expanding margins based on our ability to deliver on productivity and synergies strengthens our momentum for the future."

In addition, the company introduced fourth quarter 2014 EPS guidance of $1.02 - $1.04, up approximately 20 percent versus the same quarter last year's adjusted EPS.  The company expects fourth quarter revenue to be approximately $1.86 billion, which would be up approximately 1 to 2 percent compared to fourth quarter 2013 revenue.
