Pentair Provides Financial Outlook for 2014;
Reaffirms Full Year 2013 Outlook

Company provides full year 2014 EPS outlook of $3.85 to $4.00
Reaffirms 2013 adjusted EPS outlook of $3.19 to $3.21
Updates 2015 synergies target to $310 million

SCHAFFHAUSEN, Switzerland — December 17, 2013— Pentair Ltd. (NYSE: PNR) today provided its outlook for 2014 and reaffirmed its fourth quarter and full year 2013 sales and earnings outlook.
For full year 2014, the company is providing an earnings per diluted share (EPS) outlook of $3.85 to $4.00, which represents an increase of 20 to 25 percent from the mid-point of the 2013 adjusted EPS outlook. The company anticipates full year 2014 sales to be approximately $7.7 billion, or up 3 to 5 percent compared to estimated 2013 sales. The company expects to continue generating free cash flow in excess of net income in 2014.
"2013 has been a successful year from an integration standpoint and our productivity initiatives continue to gain momentum," said Randall J. Hogan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We have seen a number of top line headwinds moderate throughout 2013 and we expect to benefit in 2014 from stabilization in our five key verticals."
Pentair expects fourth quarter 2013 EPS to be in the range of $0.83 to $0.85, up approximately 60 percent versus the same quarter last year's pro forma adjusted EPS. The company expects full year 2013 adjusted EPS to be in the range of $3.19 to $3.21, which represents an increase of 26 percent over 2012 adjusted pro forma EPS of $2.54.
The company also stated that it remains committed to its long term growth strategies and its 2015 EPS goal of $5.00 while also raising its synergies target for 2015 to $310 million from $230 million.

Pentair Chairman and CEO Randall J. Hogan and Chief Financial Officer John L. Stauch will discuss the company’s outlook on a two-way conference call with investors at 8:30 a.m. Eastern today. A live audio webcast of the call, along with the related presentation, can be accessed in the Investors section of the company’s website, www.pentair.com, shortly before the call begins.
