Watts Water Technologies: Inside the Haws Deal- What Will This Power Acquisition Unlock?

Watts Water Technologies reported strong results for the third quarter of 2025, surpassing expectations with reported sales reaching a record $612 million. This performance was supported by a notable 9% increase in organic sales, driven largely by favorable pricing, robust demand in the Americas, and strategic acquisitions like I-CON and EasyWater. These acquisitions, along with advantageous foreign exchange movements, compensated for a decline in Europe and stagnant performance in the Asia-Pacific, Middle East, and Africa (APMEA) regions. Positively, the company demonstrated solid financial health with an adjusted operating margin of 18.5%, which was above projections due to effective price management and productivity improvements. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) saw a 23% rise from the previous year, benefiting from operational contributions, acquisitions, reduced interest expenses, and foreign exchange tailwinds.
