LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – August 3, 2021 – nVent Electric plc (NYSE:NVT) (“nVent”), a global leader in electrical connection and protection solutions, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2021 and provided guidance for the third quarter and full-year 2021.

“I am extremely pleased with our second quarter results. Sales grew 34%, with all segments above 2019 sales levels, driven by broad-based demand. We delivered robust margin expansion across all segments and strong earnings growth. Our teams did a tremendous job serving increased customer demand while navigating unprecedented supply chain constraints and inflation. We delivered another quarter of strong cash flow, up more than $50 million in the first half of the year. We completed two bolt-on acquisitions in the quarter, extending our presence in high-growth verticals like data centers and networking solutions and infrastructure. I’m also very proud of our recently published Social Responsibility Report, outlining our goals, progress and commitment to living social responsibility every day through our employees, our operations and our communities," said Beth Wozniak, nVent's chief executive officer.

"As we look to the second half of the year, our strong orders and backlog give us confidence in our continued growth. As a result of our first half performance and improved outlook, we are raising our full-year revenue and EPS guidance. The electrification of everything, combined with strong execution of our One nVent strategy, position us well to grow."

Second quarter 2021 sales of $601 million were up 34% relative to second quarter 2020 and increased 29% organically, which excludes the impact from currency fluctuations and acquisitions. Second quarter 2021 earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) were $0.39, up 160%, while on an adjusted basis, the company had EPS of $0.50, up 72%. Segment income, adjusted net income, free cash flow and adjusted EPS are described in the attached schedules.

Second quarter 2021 operating income was $88 million, up 95%, compared to $45 million in the prior year period. On an adjusted basis, segment income was $110 million, up 61%, compared to $68 million in the prior year period.

nVent had net cash provided by operating activities of $93 million in the second quarter, and free cash flow was $85 million.
