Oct 21 (Reuters) - UK-based water technology company
Pentair ( PNR ) reported better-than-expected quarterly profit
and revenue on Tuesday, as sales growth in industrial
technologies and pool segments offset declines in the water
solutions segment.
The London, UK-based company posted third-quarter revenue of
$1.02 billion, slightly above analysts' estimates of $1.01
billion, according to data complied by LSEG.
Net income rose to $184.3 million, or $1.12 per share, for
the quarter ended September 30, from $139.6 million, or 84 cents
per share, a year earlier.
On an adjusted basis, the company reported a profit of $1.24
per share, above estimates of $1.18 per share.
Pentair ( PNR ) manufactures filtration systems for residential and
industrial use across 150 countries, along with water pumps for
flood control, fire suppression and homes. It also produces
heating systems, pumps, and LED lighting for swimming pools.
The company raised its full-year adjusted earnings forecast
to a range of $4.85-$4.90 per share, representing about 13%
growth from last year.
Pentair ( PNR ) also announced that finance chief Bob Fishman will
step down effective March 1, after six years in the role. He
will be succeeded by Nick Brazi, currently vice president of
corporate development.
U.S. listed shares of the company were up 2.5% to $111.99
