Measurement and Control Solutions adjusted EBITDA margin measures adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of segment revenue.

Xylem reported a 21.1% adjusted EBITDA margin for Measurement and Control Solutions in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 23.1% a year earlier.

Revenue decline and portfolio actions can affect margin

The quarter included organic weakness in smart metering and a divestiture-related reduction in reported revenue.

Those factors can change fixed-cost absorption and product mix even when analytics demand is stable.

Adjusted EBITDA differs from GAAP operating margin

Xylem reported a 12.4% GAAP operating margin for the segment in the quarter.

Use the adjusted measure with Measurement and Control Solutions organic revenue growth and smart metering organic revenue change.
