# Xylem Inc.: Business Model & Revenue Engine

## Direct Answer

Xylem Inc. reports revenue across 4 business segments in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Water Infrastructure is the largest, with $2.6 billion of revenue (29% of the total), followed by Water Solutions Services at $2.5 billion (27%).

## How Does Xylem Inc. Make Money?

No single line supplies a majority of revenue: the largest, Water Infrastructure, is 29%, which spreads Xylem Inc.'s exposure across several demand drivers. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, Measurement and Control Solutions grew fastest (+11.5%) and Applied Water slowest (+3.1%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Measurement and Control Solutions while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Water Infrastructure | $2.6 billion | $2.6 billion | 29.2% | 3.2% |
| Water Solutions Services | $2.5 billion | $2.3 billion | 27.3% | 5.2% |
| Measurement and Control Solutions | $2.1 billion | $1.9 billion | 23.1% | 11.5% |
| Applied Water | $1.8 billion | $1.8 billion | 20.5% | 3.1% |

## Which Xylem Inc. Segments Earn the Most?

| Segment | FY2025 segment operating income | Segment margin |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Water Infrastructure | $462 million | 17.5% |
| Water Solutions Services | $302 million | 12.3% |
| Measurement and Control Solutions | $244 million | 11.7% |
| Applied Water | $312 million | 16.9% |

Segment operating income is the profit measure Xylem Inc. reports to its chief operating decision maker for each segment. It usually leaves out corporate costs that are not allocated to a segment, so the segments usually add up to more than consolidated operating income, and margins are comparable within Xylem Inc. more safely than against another company.

## What Does Xylem Inc. Sell?

Xylem Inc. also breaks revenue down by product and service line, which shows what customers pay for rather than how management organizes the business.

| Product or service | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Product | $7.5 billion | $7.1 billion | 82.7% | 5.3% |
| Service | $1.6 billion | $1.5 billion | 17.3% | 6.5% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of Xylem Inc.'s reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Xylem Inc. reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 25, 2026 (accession 0001524472-26-000012), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
