CEO Comment
“We are also pleased to announce the sale of our global surgical solutions business. This transaction builds on the deliberate actions we’ve taken to lay the foundation to transform our global healthcare business into a high-quality
“Looking ahead, our confidence in delivering superior performance in 2024 continues to strengthen despite unpredictable macroeconomic conditions. We remain focused on capturing additional market share by enhancing our customers’ business outcomes and operational performance while reducing their water and energy consumption. Additionally, we expect further robust organic operating income margin expansion, driven by value-based pricing and volume growth, as we continue to make smart investments to fuel our long-term performance. Our business momentum is strong, and we are committed to delivering excellent results for our customers and shareholders in 2024 and beyond.”
First Quarter 2024 Consolidated Results
Ecolab’s first quarter reported sales and organic sales both increased 5% when compared to the prior year.
First quarter 2024 reported operating income increased 47% including the impact of special gains and charges, which were a net charge primarily related to restructuring costs. Organic operating income increased 44%, as lower delivered product costs, value-based pricing, and volume growth more than offset growth-oriented investments in the business.
Reported other income in the first quarter of 2024 was rather stable while reported interest expense decreased 4% versus the prior year.
The reported income tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 was 9.2% compared with the reported rate of 18.0% in the first quarter of 2023. The reported tax expense for the first quarter of 2024 includes a non-recurring, non-cash deferred tax benefit of
Reported net income increased 77% versus the prior year. Excluding the impact of special gains and charges and discrete tax items, adjusted net income increased 54% versus the prior year.
Reported diluted earnings per share increased 74% versus the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 52% when compared against the first quarter of 2023.

Organic sales increased 1% as modest growth in Food & Beverage and Water (despite unfavorable year-over-year comparisons in mining) more than offset the expected short-term decline in Paper sales. Organic operating income increased 21% as lower delivered product costs were partially offset by continued investments in the business.

The Healthcare & Life Sciences segment includes Healthcare and Life Sciences |
Organic sales decreased 1% as lower Healthcare sales were partially offset by growth in Life Sciences. We continue to take deliberate action to transform our Healthcare business. The announced sale of our global surgical solutions business will create a sharper strategic focus on our infection prevention and instrument reprocessing businesses to drive profitable long-term growth. Life Sciences’ performance improved and more than offset continued soft short-term industry trends. Organic operating income increased 5% versus last year as pricing and lower delivered product costs overcame continued targeted investments in the business and softer volume.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This news release contains certain statements relating to future events and our intentions, beliefs, expectations and predictions for the future which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words or phrases such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “we believe,” “we expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “forecast” (including the negative or variations thereof) or similar terminology used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions or events generally identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding macroeconomic conditions, delivered product costs, and demand; our financial and business performance and prospects, including sales, earnings, special charges, margins, pricing, volume, productivity and new business; and the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the sale of the global surgical solutions business, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory clearance of the proposed transaction, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the definitive agreement, the inability to consummate the proposed transaction due to the failure to satisfy other closing conditions, risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current operations, and the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the proposed transaction. These statements are based on the current expectations of management of the company. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this news release. In particular, the ultimate results of any restructuring initiative depend on a number of factors, including the development of final plans, the impact of local regulatory requirements regarding employee terminations, the time necessary to develop and implement the restructuring initiatives and the level of success achieved through such actions in improving competitiveness, efficiency and effectiveness.
Additional risks and uncertainties that may affect operating results and business performance are set forth under Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K, and our other public filings with the
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This news release and certain of the accompanying tables include financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
These non-GAAP financial measures include:
- fixed currency sales
- organic sales
- adjusted cost of sales
- adjusted gross profit
- adjusted gross margin
- fixed currency operating income
- adjusted operating income
- adjusted fixed currency operating income
- adjusted fixed currency operating income margin
- organic operating income
- organic operating income margin
- adjusted tax rate
-
adjusted net income attributable to
Ecolab - adjusted diluted earnings per share
- free cash flow
We provide these measures as additional information regarding our operating results. We use these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions, including with respect to incentive compensation. We believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency with respect to our results of operations and that these measures are useful for period-to-period comparison of results.
Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted cost of sales, adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income exclude the impact of special (gains) and charges and our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted tax rate, adjusted net income attributable to
We evaluate the performance of our international operations based on fixed currency rates of foreign exchange, which eliminate the translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international results. Fixed currency amounts included in this release are based on translation into
Our reportable segments do not include the impact of intangible asset amortization from the Nalco and Purolite transactions or the impact of special (gains) and charges as these are not allocated to the Company’s reportable segments.
Our non-GAAP financial measures for organic sales, organic operating income and organic operating income margin are at fixed currency and exclude the impact of special (gains) and charges, the results of our acquired businesses from the first twelve months post acquisition and the results of divested businesses from the twelve months prior to divestiture. In addition, as part of the separation, we also entered into an agreement with ChampionX to provide, receive or transfer certain products for a transitionary period. Transitionary period sales of product to ChampionX under this agreement are recorded in product and equipment sales in the Corporate segment along with the related cost of sales. The remaining sales to ChampionX are recorded in product and equipment sales in the Global Industrial segment along with the related cost of sales. These transactions are removed from the consolidated results as part of the calculation of the impact of acquisitions and divestitures.
We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash outlays for capital expenditures. It should not be inferred that the entire free cash flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures. It should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with
These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating our business. We recommend that investors view these measures in conjunction with the GAAP measures included in this news release. Reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures are included in the following "Supplemental Non-GAAP Reconciliations" and “Supplemental Diluted Earnings per Share Information” tables included in this news release.
We do not provide reconciliations for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis (including those contained in this news release) when we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of various items that have not yet occurred, are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact reported earnings per share and the reported tax rate, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures to adjusted earnings per share and the adjusted tax rate. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

As shown in the “Fixed Currency Rates” tables above, we evaluate the performance of our international operations based on fixed currency exchange rates, which eliminate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our international operations. Amounts shown in the “Public Currency Rates” tables above reflect amounts translated at actual public average rates of exchange prevailing during the corresponding period and are provided for informational purposes. The difference between the fixed currency exchange rates and the public currency exchange rates is reported as “Currency impact” in the “Fixed Currency Rates” tables above.
The Corporate segment includes amortization from the Nalco and Purolite transactions intangible assets. The Corporate segment also includes special (gains) and charges reported on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
