Ecolab Closes CoolIT Acquisition and Expands AI Cooling Platform as Global High Tech Business Targets $4 Billion by 2030July 2, 2026 4:15 PM
Business Wire Ecolab today announced the close of its acquisition of CoolIT Systems, a leader in direct liquid cooling for high-density data centers. The transaction closed earlier than expected, and Ecolab welcomes the world-class CoolIT team to the company. Ecolab acquired CoolIT for approximately $4.75 billion. CoolIT’s year-to-date sales have grown more than 100%, driven by accelerating demand for liquid cooling in AI data centers. With CoolIT, Ecolab extends its established global leadership in water technologies, research and service to the fastest-growing market in the world: AI infrastructure and computing. At the heart of AI is water. We need water to produce chips, power chips, and cool chips. Ecolab is now uniquely positioned to offer end-to-end solutions across the full AI value chain, from ultra-pure water to produce the most advanced chips, to high-performing water systems for optimized power generation, to direct liquid cooling for the most powerful AI data centers. This enables Ecolab to help customers scale AI faster with global solutions that protect people, natural resources, and communities. At Supercomputing in November 2026 in Chicago, Ecolab plans to introduce a breakthrough innovation: a new end-to-end 3D TRASAR™ cooling platform combining CoolIT technologies, including cooling distribution units and high-performing cold plates, with integrated 3D TRASAR™ digital optimization and advanced cooling fluids. Supported by global expertise, it will optimize water, power, and compute performance at scale. This will provide operators with real-time visibility into system performance to help reduce cooling power demand and increase power efficiency, while leveraging closed-loop solutions to move data centers toward a near-zero water footprint. This technology is applicable for AI architectures like NVIDIA Vera Rubin, Grace Blackwell, and more to help enhance uptime while accelerating the shift to an AI infrastructure with less impact on the environment and natural resources. “NVIDIA has collaborated with Ecolab and CoolIT across a broad range of liquid-cooling initiatives, including coolant qualification, coolant health monitoring, cooling infrastructure development, and next-generation AI factory technologies,” said Ali Heydari, technical director and distinguished engineer at NVIDIA, and Saket Karajgikar, senior engineering manager and ASME fellow at NVIDIA. “Through collaborations spanning NVIDIA engineering labs, research programs, and large-scale AI infrastructure deployments, Ecolab and CoolIT have consistently demonstrated strong technical expertise, innovation, and responsiveness.” Ecolab and CoolIT will continue to work with leading hyperscale customers and bring together stakeholders across the power and water ecosystem to support the design of next-generation AI data centers that accelerate AI deployment while maximizing performance and minimizing impact. Ecolab’s Global High-Tech business, which generated approximately $150 million in annual sales in 2021, is now approaching $1.5 billion in 2026 annualized sales following the additions of Ovivo and CoolIT. Ecolab is targeting its Global High-Tech business to be $4 billion in annual sales by 2030, with operating income margins of 25%. The business is now Ecolab’s largest growth engine, and as it grows by more than 25% annually, it is expected to contribute more than 2 percentage points to annual sales growth with expanding margins. “With Ecolab’s breakthrough solutions across fabs, power and data centers, AI can now scale more rapidly while respecting communities, the environment and natural resources,” said Christophe Beck, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Ecolab. “With strong and consistent core businesses and new growth engines in high tech and life sciences that capture major new trends, we have never been better positioned to deliver on our growth commitments.” “We therefore remain confident in our ability to drive sustained organic revenue growth of 5% to 7%, operating income margins well beyond 20%, and consistent EPS growth of 12% to 15% for the years to come,” Beck added. Ecolab Updates 2026 EPS Guidance to Include CoolIT Systems Reflecting the close of the CoolIT acquisition and a short-term impact of non-cash amortization and financing costs, Ecolab expects 2026 adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $8.03 to $8.23, representing growth of 7% to 9% versus 2025. For the second half of 2026, Ecolab expects organic sales growth to accelerate to the 6% to 7% range. This momentum, along with an expanding organic gross margin and continued strong productivity, is expected to result in underlying EPS growth of 14% to 15% for Ecolab’s base business in the second half of 2026. Short-term impacts from the CoolIT acquisition, primarily related to non-cash amortization and financing costs, are expected to result in a $0.20 per share impact in each of the third and fourth quarters of 2026. Together, this is expected to result in adjusted diluted EPS growth of 4% to 5% in the second half of the year, consistent with prior disclosures. Beyond 2026, Ecolab expects organic sales to grow 5% to 7% and annual adjusted operating income margin expansion of 100 to 150 basis points as the company moves well beyond its 20% operating income margin target. With this, adjusted EPS growth, including CoolIT, is expected to accelerate back into the 12% to 15% range as contributions from this high-growth, high-margin acquisition increase and amortization from the Nalco acquisition rolls off in 2027.

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 and our financial and business performance and prospects, including sales, earnings, special gains and charges, raw material costs, margins, pricing, currency translation, productivity, investments, acquisitions and new business. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and include the impact of economic factors such as the worldwide economy, interest rates, foreign currency risk, reduced sales and earnings in our international operations resulting from the weakening of local currencies versus the U.S. dollar, demand uncertainty, supply chain challenges and inflation; the vitality of the markets we serve; exposure to global economic, political and legal risks related to our international operations, including international trade policies, geopolitical instability and the escalation of armed conflicts; our increasing reliance on artificial intelligence technologies in our products, services and operations; information technology infrastructure failures or breaches in data security; difficulty in procuring raw materials or fluctuations in raw material costs; our ability to successfully execute organizational change and management transitions; the occurrence of severe public health outbreaks not limited to COVID-19; our ability to acquire complementary businesses and to effectively integrate such businesses; our ability to execute key business initiatives; our ability to successfully compete with respect to value, innovation and customer support; pressure on operations from consolidation of customers or vendors; restraints on pricing flexibility due to contractual obligations and our ability to meet our contractual commitments; the costs and effects of complying with laws and regulations, including those relating to the environment, climate change standards, and to the manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and use of our products, as well as to the conduct of our business generally, including labor and employment and anti-corruption; potential safety incidents; potential chemical spill or release; potential to incur significant tax liabilities or indemnification liabilities relating to the separation and split-off of our ChampionX business; the occurrence of litigation or claims, including class action lawsuits; the loss or insolvency of a major customer or distributor; repeated or prolonged government and/or business shutdowns or similar events; acts of war or terrorism; natural or man made disasters; water shortages; severe weather conditions; our commitments, goals, targets, objectives and initiatives related to sustainability, and our public statements and disclosures regarding them; changes in tax laws and unanticipated tax liabilities; potential loss of deferred tax assets; our indebtedness, and any failure to comply with covenants that apply to our indebtedness; potential losses arising from the impairment of goodwill or other assets; and other uncertainties or risks reported from time to time in our reports to the SEC. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this news release may not occur. We caution that undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Ecolab does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any duty to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or changes in expectations, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Information This news release includes financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), including organic sales, organic gross margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share. 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 organic sales and organic gross profit are at fixed currency and exclude the results of our acquired businesses from the first 12 months post acquisition and the results of divested businesses from the 12 months prior to divestiture. Organic gross margin is the ratio of organic gross profit to organic sales. Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the impact of special (gains) and charges and discrete tax items. We include items within special (gains) and charges and discrete tax items that we believe can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results. 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. 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 sales, reported gross profit and reported earnings per share, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures to organic sales, organic gross profit and adjusted diluted earnings per share. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Water.org and Founding Partners Launch Get Blue™ to Bring Water Home™ Through Everyday ActionsJune 9, 2026 9:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Join Get Blue™, co-founded by Water.org's Matt Damon and Gary White, and partners Gap Inc., Starbucks, Amazon, and Ecolab to shop, share, and donate to help end the global water crisis.Get Blue™ is partnering with iconic brands like Gap, Starbucks, Amazon, and Ecolab to turn everyday actions into a powerful force to Bring Water Home™ and help end the global water crisis.Water.org aims to bring safe water access to more than 200 million people by 2030 through its proven solution that helps local bank partners provide small loans to families.Get Blue makes it simple for anyone to participate through shopping for exclusive Get Blue product collaborations; engaging with creators, celebrities, and artists; and donating directly to Get Blue.KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Water.org, the global nonprofit working to bring safe water and sanitation to the world, is launching Get Blue™, a community created in partnership with Gap Inc., Starbucks, Amazon, and Ecolab to help Bring Water Home™. Get Blue is an open invitation to turn everyday actions like shopping, sharing, and donating into safe water for families who need it most.Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/waterorg/9402051-en-waterorg-partnership-launch-get-blue-global-movementMore than 2 billion people lack access to safe water — that's one in four people globally. For many families, water is out of reach resulting in hours of walking, high costs, or relying on unsafe sources — a daily reality that costs people their time, health, and futures. No one should have to wait, walk, or overpay for safe water. Get Blue is a collective effort to change this, helping scale Water.org's proven solutions to reach more people.Get Blue makes it easy to act. When you shop Get Blue products or donate directly, you are helping support Water.org's local financial partners provide small, affordable loans so families can get the pipes, pumps, or plumbing they need at home. $5 helps one person, and $25 helps a family get lasting access to safe water or sanitation — it's impact that keeps on giving. In fact, when a loan is repaid (and 98% are), that money can help another family get a loan to bring safe water home. It's a pay-it-forward approach that helps families solve the problem themselves, and the more people Water.org reaches, the further each dollar goes."Water.org has changed the future for more than 90 million people, proving our solutions work at scale," says Gary White, CEO and co-founder of Water.org. "To bring water home for everyone, everywhere within our lifetimes, we have to scale even faster. That's why Water.org launched Get Blue — a community built on collaboration, bringing together industry leaders, creators, and people to take action. When brands join us, they invite their communities into this work.

Producer Aaron Bow also collaborated with Walton on the creative effort."Music moves people in ways that few things can. It connects us, crosses borders, and makes us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. That's what Get Blue is built on," says Damon. "I won't stop looking for creative ways to draw attention, encourage participation and drive donations to help solve the global water crisis. Now, through the Get Blue community, there are easy ways to get involved whether you shop, donate directly, or share on social. I'm inviting my friends, colleagues, and anyone who cares about water access to join us and help Bring Water Home."Mobilizing Creators and the TikTok Community to Join #GetBlue

Ecolab to Acquire CoolIT Systems, a Global Leader in Advanced Liquid Cooling for Next-Gen AI Data CentersMarch 20, 2026 8:00 AM
Business Wire
Acquisition accelerates Ecolab’s sales growth by significantly expanding its Global High-Tech growth engine, creating an end-to-end fluid management and cooling platform for AI data centers


Ecolab announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire CoolIT Systems, a high-growth, high-margin leader in liquid cooling technology for next-gen AI data centers. CoolIT is expected to generate approximately $550 million in sales over the next 12 months. With CoolIT’s rapid sales growth, the acquisition is expected to significantly strengthen the company’s Global High-Tech growth engine and accelerate Global Water’s organic sales growth rate by 2% and Ecolab’s total organic sales growth rate by 1%. The acquisition, from funds managed by KKR, positions Ecolab as a comprehensive cooling solutions provider by advancing its capabilities across the rapidly growing data center market.


CoolIT is a pure-play data center liquid cooling company with end-to-end capabilities that designs and manufactures high-performance liquid cooling systems, including coolant distribution units (CDUs), cold plates and direct-to-chip cooling technologies. With more than 25 years of experience, their technology helps the world’s largest hyperscale and colocation operators run more efficiently and reliably. As data centers shift from air cooling to liquid cooling to support rising compute demands, CoolIT’s mission-critical technologies provide the performance needed for advanced AI workloads.


By combining CoolIT’s anchor thermal engineering technologies and design excellence with Ecolab’s expertise in water, chemistry, fluid management, digital monitoring and global service, Ecolab is bolstering its Cooling-as-a-Service offering. This integrated solution helps AI data centers improve performance, reduce downtime and lower water use across their operations.


Under the terms of the agreement, Ecolab will pay approximately $4.75 billion in cash at the closing of the transaction, subject to customary adjustments. This represents 29x and 24x estimated next 12-month and 2027 adjusted EBITDA for CoolIT.


“AI is transforming the demands on data centers, and liquid cooling is one of the critical technologies that makes advanced computing possible,” said Christophe Beck, Ecolab chairman and chief executive officer. “By bringing together CoolIT’s engineered cooling technologies with Ecolab’s expertise in water, chemistry and digital service, we can provide our customers a complete cooling solution that improves performance and reliability while reducing water and energy use. This acquisition expands our role in serving the AI ecosystem—semiconductor fabs that manufacture chips, power plants that fuel the chips, and data centers that utilize the chips—and positions Ecolab as the partner that the world’s largest technology companies rely on to grow responsibly and sustainably.”


Strategic Highlights


CoolIT is a high-growth, high-margin global leader in advanced liquid cooling technologies with 100% focus on the data center market. The acquisition enables Ecolab to rapidly accelerate its recurring, high-margin data center cooling business, by adding mission-critical anchor technologies including CDUs, cold plates, liquid loops and rack manifolds, with substantial cross-selling opportunities.


CoolIT will double Ecolab’s Global High-Tech market opportunity from $5 billion to $10 billion, with this market growing strong double-digits annually. The combination complements Ecolab’s existing reach across more than 1,000 data centers by providing deep preexisting relationships with the world’s major hyperscaler and colocation customers, with strong revenue growth visibility from large-scale data center deployments. CoolIT also contributes advanced engineering, design and validation capabilities, highlighted by custom-designed solutions for leading AI chip developers, including NVIDIA and AMD, along with manufacturing and supply chain expertise to support rapid scaling.


Financial Highlights


The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Ecolab’s sales growth, accelerating Global Water’s organic sales growth rate by 2% and Ecolab’s organic sales growth rate by 1%, beginning one year after closing. Excluding non-cash amortization costs, the transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted diluted earnings per share in 2028, with the contribution building significantly thereafter. Returns are expected to be significantly above Ecolab’s weighted average cost of capital.


The acquisition will be financed with new transaction debt. As a result, pro forma net debt to adjusted EBITDA is anticipated to be approximately 3x at transaction close, returning to 2x leverage by the end of the second year after closing.


The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.


2026 EPS Outlook


Ecolab expects first quarter 2026 adjusted diluted earnings per share in the $1.69 to $1.71 range, rising 13% to 14% compared with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.50 a year ago.


For the full-year 2026, excluding the impact of CoolIT, Ecolab continues to expect adjusted diluted earnings per share in the $8.43 to $8.63 range, rising 12% to 15% compared with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $7.53 in 2025.


Ecolab will release its first quarter 2026 results on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.


Webcast Details


Ecolab will host a live webcast to review the CoolIT acquisition announcement on Monday, March 23, 2026, at 8 a.m. Eastern time. The webcast, along with related presentation slides, will be available to the public on Ecolab’s website at www.ecolab.com/investor.


Citi acted as exclusive financial advisor to Ecolab in connection with the transaction and Covington & Burling LLP acted as legal counsel.

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 market trends, the future performance of CoolIT, impacts of the acquisition of CoolIT, the expected timing of completion of the acquisition, amortization expense, returns, sales growth, adjusted diluted earnings per share and net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. 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. These risks and uncertainties include (i) the risk that the regulatory approvals or clearances required for the acquisition may not be obtained, or that required regulatory approvals may delay the acquisition or result in the imposition of conditions that could have a material adverse effect on either party or cause either party to abandon the acquisition, (ii) the risk that the conditions to the closing of the acquisition may not be satisfied, (iii) the risk that a material adverse change, event or occurrence may affect Ecolab or CoolIT prior to the closing of the acquisition and may delay the acquisition or cause the company to abandon the acquisition, (iv) problems that may arise in successfully integrating the businesses of the company and CoolIT, which may result in the combined business not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected, (v) the possibility that the acquisition may involve unexpected costs, unexpected liabilities or unexpected delays, (vi) the risk that the credit ratings of Ecolab may be different from what Ecolab currently expects, (vii) the risk that the businesses of Ecolab or CoolIT may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the acquisition, (viii) unexpected operating risks at CoolIT and (ix) the risk that disruptions from the transaction will harm relationships with customers, employees and suppliers.


Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the company, CoolIT and the combined business. For a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties applicable to Ecolab, see Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K, and our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this news release may not occur. We caution that undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Ecolab does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any duty to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or changes in expectations, except as required by law.


Non-GAAP Financial Information


This news release includes financial measures that have not been calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), including organic sales, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA. 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 organic sales are at fixed currency and exclude the results of our acquired businesses from the first 12 months post acquisition and the results of divested businesses from the 12 months prior to divestiture. Our non-GAAP financial measures for adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the impact of special (gains) and charges and discrete tax items. We include items within special (gains) and charges and discrete tax items that we believe can significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results and not necessarily reflect costs and/or income associated with historical trends and future results. EBITDA is defined as net income including non-controlling interest with the sum of provision for income taxes, net interest expense, depreciation and amortization added back. Adjusted EBITDA further adds special (gains) and charges impacting EBITDA. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are used in our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, which we view as important indicators of the operational and financial health of our organization.


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.


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 net income, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures to adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.

Ecolab is just one of six organizations recognized each year since the award’s inception


Ecolab Inc., a global leader in water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions and services that protect people and the resources vital to life, today announced it has been named one of the 2026 World’s Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices. This marks Ecolab’s 20th consecutive year receiving the recognition—an achievement only a small number of companies worldwide can claim.


“At Ecolab, strong performance starts and ends with doing what’s right,” said Christophe Beck, Chairman and CEO, Ecolab. “For 20 years, this recognition has reflected how our teams lead with integrity, earn trust and deliver results as promised for customers and communities around the world. Winning the right way isn’t just who we are. It's how we perform.”


The World’s Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in Ethisphere’s proprietary Ethics Quotient®, which evaluates companies across more than 240 proof points that support robust ethics and compliance programs, including governance, culture, environmental and social impact, and risk management practices. The process also includes extensive qualitative analysis by a panel of experts to identify organizations that demonstrate best-in-class ethics and compliance practices.


Ecolab’s two-decade inclusion on the list reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to delivering its promise with integrity and fostering a culture where associates are encouraged to speak up, act responsibly and look out for one another. Guided by its Code of Conduct and supported by clear ethics resources, Ecolab emphasizes shared ownership of ethics, inclusion and safety across its more than 48,000 associates worldwide, foundational to the company’s track record of high performance and impact.


Ecolab’s ethical leadership is reinforced by a long track record of consistent performance and purpose-led action. The company has been named one of Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies, reflecting strength across key reputation drivers including innovation, social responsibility and quality of management. Ecolab also recently earned a double ‘A’ rating from CDP for leadership in water and climate performance, placing the company among the top-performing organizations globally for transparency and environmental impact.

Ecolab edges past fourth-quarter estimates on margin strength, outlook meets expectationsFebruary 10, 2026 11:18 AM
IH Market News
Ecolab (NYSE:ECL) posted fourth-quarter results that came in just ahead of expectations, supported by improved margins and steady sales growth, while its profit outlook for 2026 largely matched Wall Street forecasts. Shares slipped 0.22% in premarket trading following the release.Adjusted earnings per share totaled $2.08 for the quarter, topping the consensus estimate of $2.07 by a penny. Revenue reached $4.19 billion, in line with analyst projections. Sales increased 5% year over year, with organic sales up 3%, driven primarily by stronger performance in Food & Beverage, Pest Elimination, Life Sciences, Specialty, and Global High-Tech.The company said these gains helped offset a combined 2% headwind from softer conditions in basic industries, paper, and reduced distributor inventories within its Institutional segment.Operating income margin came in at 17.0%, while organic operating income margin expanded by 140 basis points to 18.5%. Reported diluted EPS was $1.98, representing a 19% increase, and adjusted diluted EPS rose 15% from the prior year.Looking ahead to 2026, Ecolab expects adjusted EPS in a range of $8.43 to $8.63, compared with the analyst consensus of $8.48. The forecast includes an approximate $0.13 per-share impact from non-cash amortization related to the Ovivo Electronics acquisition. For the first quarter, the company anticipates adjusted EPS of $1.67 to $1.73, reflecting growth of 11% to 15%.Chief Executive Christophe Beck said Ecolab delivered record sales, margins, and cash flow in 2025, with performance fueled by organic sales growth and margin expansion.He added that inventory pressures in the Institutional segment are expected to largely normalize in the first quarter of 2026, while weakness in basic industries and paper should ease over the coming quarters.For the full year, Ecolab projects reported sales growth of 7% to 9% in 2026, with organic sales rising 3% to 4% and operating income margin expanding by 100 to 150 basis points.

Ecolab’s Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer, one of the innovative solutions powering the new Ecolab Science Certified™ program, simplifies restaurant hygiene procedures by combining an effective cleaner and sanitizer into one solution without the need to rinse between cleaning and sanitizing or before contact with food. When used in an electrostatic spray application at a disinfection concentration, it can disinfect large indoor spaces efficiently and effectively.

Developed using insights from proprietary Ecolab consumer research and informed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, Ecolab Science Certified is a comprehensive, science-based program that combines hospital disinfectants, food-contact sanitizers and other cleaning products with a detailed training program and a periodic auditing process conducted by highly trained Ecolab field specialists. After meeting rigorous program criteria, customers can display the Ecolab Science Certified seal to let consumers know about their commitment to world-class hygiene.

Ecolab has one of the broadest product portfolios for use against SARS-CoV-2. Including the Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer, Ecolab offers 12 products tested and proven effective against SARS-CoV-2 and registered by the EPA. And Ecolab offers more than 50 products that are listed on the U.S. EPA List N for use against SARS-CoV-2. In addition, Ecolab products are proven effective for use against SARS-CoV-2 in dozens of countries around the world, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, Brazil, and throughout Europe.

Leveraging Ecolab’s extensive hospital hygiene expertise and science-based public health and food safety knowledge, this versatile cleaner sanitizer has been tested and proven effective against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Ecolab offers the product for use in spray bottle, bucket, wipe, third sink or electrostatic spray applications. It is one of only three electrostatic spray products proven effective against SARS-CoV-2 – and no product kills the virus faster in electrostatic spray application.

“Restaurants and foodservice facilities are working harder than ever to provide cleaner, safer environments that help protect people and build consumer confidence,” said Michael Johannsen, Ecolab executive vice president and general manager of Global Institutional, the Ecolab division that serves the hospitality industry. “In addition to simplifying hygiene procedures, Ecolab’s Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer provides unmatched sanitizing efficacy, killing the virus that causes COVID-19 faster than any other product on the market.”

Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer is first product to kill COVID-19 virus in just 15 seconds

No product kills the virus faster in electrostatic spray application

Ecolab, the global leader in water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions and services, received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for its Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer. The product is the first registered by the EPA to kill the virus that causes COVID-19 in 15 seconds – the fastest product available.

Ecolab’s advanced chemistries, including Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer, are key to helping restaurants and other businesses meet heightened expectations for cleanliness and more stringent regulations to help reduce the risk of exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19 and other viruses. Sink & Surface Cleaner Sanitizer is a concentrated no-rinse, 2-in-1 cleaner and sanitizer designed for use on any hard, non-porous food contact surface – from food prep areas and the third sink in the kitchen to guest tables.

Ecolab $ECL valuation models show stock's highly overvalued prior to earnings Tuesday:

Fair Value Source

yes, agreed

Quality company I agree but may have some short term hurdles to overcome.

still a great company and I wished I had bought when I first saw it at around 50 Dollar :)

Ecolab (ECL -2.9%) is downgraded to Hold from Buy with a $125 price target at Deutsche Bank, which says that upside is limited in the near-term with ECL trading at 27x estimated 2015 EPS and shares are at a 60% premium to the S&P, in-line with its three- and five-year average relative P/Es.

While the firm sees ECL delivering on its Q3 and 2015 EPS targets, it also believes consensus 2016 EPS estimate of $5.16 is too high given continuing forex headwinds and moderating global growth.
