Ecolab Inc. has filed a Form 8-K with the SEC, detailing significant updates regarding its segment reporting structure and financial performance for the years ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024. The filing includes supplemental unaudited reportable segment information reflecting international operations at fixed currency exchange rates established by the company management at the beginning of 2026. Notably, the company has restructured its former Light & Heavy operating segment into three new segments: Heavy Water, Light Water, and High-Tech, which will continue to be reported under the Global Water segment. This restructuring aims to enhance operational clarity and financial reporting accuracy.

The filing also provides a comprehensive table with supplemental unaudited reportable segment information for each quarter of 2025 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025. This information is crucial for stakeholders as it reflects the changes in the company's segment reporting structure and the movement of certain customers and cost allocations effective from the first quarter of 2026. Ecolab emphasizes that this financial information is supplementary and does not replace the information presented in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

The company’s organizational structure is designed to support its global business units and market-based leadership teams, ensuring that operational results are reviewed at the identified operating segment level by the Chief Operating Decision Maker. Ecolab's commitment to transparency and accuracy in its financial reporting is evident in this filing, as it seeks to provide stakeholders with a clear understanding of its operational performance and strategic direction moving forward. The attached exhibits will also be published on Ecolab's official website, further enhancing accessibility to this important information.
