Business
nVent Electric plc ("nVent," "we," "us," "our" or the "Company") is a leading global provider of electrical connection and protection solutions. The Company is comprised of two reporting segments: Enclosures and Electrical & Fastening Solutions.
The Company was incorporated in Ireland on May 30, 2017. Although our jurisdiction of organization is Ireland, we manage our affairs so that we are centrally managed and controlled in the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") and have tax residency in the U.K.
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in United States ("U.S.") dollars ("USD") and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year.
On July 31, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Thermal Management business to BCP VI Summit Holdings LP (as assignee of BCP Acquisitions LLC), an affiliate of funds managed by Brookfield Asset Management, for a purchase price of $1.7 billion in cash, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. As a result of the agreement, the Thermal Management business met the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20 to be presented as a discontinued operation and the related assets and liabilities have been reclassified as held for sale for all periods presented. The Thermal Management business was previously disclosed as a stand-alone reporting segment. The Thermal Management business' results of operations and the related cash flows have been reclassified to Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and cash flows from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively, for all periods presented. We completed the sale of the Thermal Management business on January 30, 2025. For additional information regarding this transaction and its effect on our financial reporting, see Note 6 below.
Fiscal year
Our fiscal year ends on December 31. We report our interim quarterly periods on a calendar quarter basis.
Use of estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include our accounting for valuation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, estimated losses on accounts receivable, estimated realizable value on excess and obsolete inventory, over-time revenue recognition, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, contingent liabilities, income taxes and pension and other post-retirement benefits. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or providing services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
When determining whether the customer has obtained control of the goods or services, we consider any future performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in Accounting Standards Codification 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Generally, there is no post-shipping obligation on product sold other than warranty obligations in the normal and ordinary course of business, except where our products are utilized in projects where additional services such as installation are performed. The timing of satisfaction of the Company's performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account for purposes of revenue recognition. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, stand-alone selling price is generally readily observable.
Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for 76%, 79% and 79% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control upon shipment.
Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for 24%, 21% and 21% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the majority of our revenue recognized over time, we use an input measure to determine progress towards completion. Under this method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed generally based on the relationship between the actual costs incurred and the total estimated costs at completion ("the cost-to-cost method") or based on efforts for measuring progress towards completion in situations in which this approach is more representative of the progress on the contract than the cost-to-cost method. Contract costs include labor, material, overhead and, when appropriate, general and administrative expenses. Changes to the original estimates may be required during the life of the contract and such estimates are reviewed on a regular basis. Sales and gross profit are adjusted using the cumulative catch-up method for revisions in estimated total contract costs. These reviews have not resulted in adjustments that were significant to our results of operations. For performance obligations related to long-term contracts, when estimates of total costs to be incurred on a performance obligation exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is determined.
We use an output method to measure progress towards completion for certain of our Enclosures businesses, as this method appropriately depicts performance towards satisfaction of the performance obligation. Under the output method, revenue is recognized based on number of units produced.
We apply a practical expedient to expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period would be less than one year. These costs primarily relate to sales commissions and are recorded in Selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Further, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if we expect, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be less than one year.
Sales returns
The right of return may exist explicitly or implicitly with our customers. Our return policy allows for customer returns only upon our authorization. Goods returned must be product we continue to market and must be in salable condition. When the right of return exists, we adjust the transaction price for the estimated effect of returns. We estimate the expected returns based on historical sales levels, the timing and magnitude of historical sales return levels as a percent of sales, type of product, type of customer and a projection of this experience into the future.
Pricing and sales incentives
Our sales contracts may give customers the option to purchase additional goods or services priced at a discount. This can come in many forms, such as customer programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives.
We reduce the transaction price for certain customer programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives that represent variable consideration. Sales incentives given to our customers are recorded using either the expected value method or most likely amount approach for estimating the amount of consideration to which nVent shall be entitled. The expected value is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. An expected value is an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration when there are a large number of contracts with similar characteristics. The most likely amount is the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts (that is, the single most likely outcome of the contract). The most likely amount is an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration if the contract has limited possible outcomes.
Pricing is established at or prior to the time of sale with our customers and we record sales at the agreed-upon net selling price. However, certain of our businesses allow customers to apply for a refund of a percentage of the original purchase price if they can demonstrate sales to a qualifying end customer. We use the expected value method to estimate the anticipated refund to be paid based on historical experience and the transaction price is reduced for the probable cost of the discount.
Volume-based incentives involve rebates that are negotiated at or prior to the time of sale with the customer and are redeemable only if the customer achieves a specified cumulative level of sales or sales increase. Under these incentive programs, at the time of sale, we estimate the anticipated rebate to be paid based on forecasted sales levels. These forecasts are updated at least quarterly for each customer and the transaction price is reduced for the anticipated cost of the rebate. If the forecasted sales for a customer changes, the accrual for rebates is adjusted to reflect the new amount of rebates expected to be earned by the customer.
Shipping and handling costs
Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling activities after the customer obtains control are treated as a separate performance obligation and recorded in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Shipping and handling costs incurred by nVent for the delivery of goods to customers are considered a cost to fulfill the contract and are included in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts resulting from sales under long-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, such as when the customer retains a small portion of the contract price until completion of the contract. We typically receive interim payments on sales under long-term contracts as work progresses, although for some contracts, we may be entitled to receive an advance payment. Contract liabilities consist of advanced payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized.
Contract assets are recorded within Other current assets and contract liabilities are recorded within Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Research and development
We conduct research and development activities primarily in our own facilities, which consist primarily of the development of new products, product applications and manufacturing processes.
Cash equivalents
We consider highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Trade receivables and concentration of credit risk
We record an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce our receivables balance by the amount that is estimated to be uncollectible from our customers, or the expected loss. Estimates used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on historical collection experience, including write-offs and recoveries, periodic credit evaluations of our customers' financial situation and current circumstances, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. We generally do not require collateral. No customer receivable balances exceeded 10% of total net receivable balances as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with substantially all inventories recorded using the first-in, first-out cost method.
Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost. We compute depreciation by the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
 Years
Land improvements
5 to 20
Buildings and leasehold improvements
5 to 50
Machinery and equipment
3 to 15
Significant improvements that add to productive capacity or extend the lives of properties are capitalized. Costs for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the recorded cost of the assets and their related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and any related gains or losses are included in income.
We review the recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used, such as property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined considering the selling price, and fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose of the assets. The measurement of impairment requires us to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of long-lived assets. We recorded no material impairment expense in 2024, 2023 or 2022 related to long-lived assets.

Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the net of the fair value of identifiable tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets purchased and liabilities assumed.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as of the first day of the fourth quarter, and is tested for impairment more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognizing an impairment expense for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
The fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and market approach. Determining the fair value of the reporting units required the use of significant judgment, including assumptions about future revenues and expenses, capital expenditures and changes in working capital and discount rates, which are based on our annual operating plan and long-term business plan. These plans take into consideration numerous factors including historical experience, anticipated future economic conditions, and growth expectations for the industries and end markets in which the reporting unit participates. The level of judgment and estimation is inherently high. Inputs used to estimate these fair values included significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use and, therefore, the fair value assessments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance.
In estimating fair value using the market approach, we identify a group of comparable publicly-traded companies for each reporting unit that are similar in terms of size and product offering. These groups of comparable companies are used to develop multiples based on total market-based invested capital as a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We determine our estimated values by applying these comparable EBITDA multiples to the operating results of our reporting units. The ultimate fair value of each reporting unit is determined considering the results of both valuation methods.
There was no impairment expense recorded in 2024, 2023 or 2022 related to goodwill.
Identifiable intangible assets
Our primary identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships, trade names, proprietary technologies and patents. Identifiable intangibles with definite lives are amortized and those identifiable intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events warrant. We complete our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter each year for those identifiable assets not subject to amortization.
The impairment test for trade names consists of a comparison of the fair value of the trade name with its carrying value. Fair value is measured using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes the trade name has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. This method requires us to estimate the future revenue for the related brands, the appropriate royalty rate and the weighted-average cost of capital. The non-recurring fair value measurement is a Level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy described below.
There was no impairment expense recorded in 2024, 2023 or 2022 related to identifiable intangible assets.
Income taxes
We use the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. We maintain valuation allowances unless it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in our tax provision in the period of change. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
Pension and other post-retirement plans
We sponsor defined-benefit pension plans and a post-retirement health plan. The pension and other post-retirement benefit costs for these plans are determined from actuarial assumptions and methodologies, including discount rates and expected returns on plan assets. These assumptions are updated annually and are disclosed in Note 13.
We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses for pension and other post-retirement benefits annually in the fourth quarter each year (“mark-to-market adjustment”) and, if applicable, in any quarter in which an interim remeasurement is triggered. Net actuarial gains and losses occur when the actual experience differs from any of the various assumptions used to value our pension and other post-retirement plans or when assumptions change, as they may each year. The remaining components of pension expense, including service and interest costs and estimated return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis.
Earnings per ordinary share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding including the dilutive effects of ordinary share equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method.
Derivative financial instruments
We recognize all derivatives, including those embedded in other contracts, as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the derivative is designated and is effective as a cash flow or fair value hedge, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income when the hedged item affects earnings. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist or if the hedge becomes ineffective, all changes in fair value of the related derivatives that have not been settled are recognized in current earnings. Cash flows of the derivative financial instruments are classified consistent with the underlying hedged item. For a derivative that is not designated as or does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are reported in earnings immediately.
Gains and losses on net investment hedges are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We use derivative instruments for the purpose of hedging interest rate and currency exposures, which exist as part of ongoing business operations. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All other contracts that contain provisions meeting the definition of a derivative also meet the requirements for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception. Our policy is not to enter into contracts with terms that cannot be designated as normal purchases or sales. From time to time, we may enter into short duration foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks.
Fair value measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:
Level 1: Valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Valuation is based on inputs such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3: Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
In making fair value measurements, observable market data must be used when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside of the U.S. are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency, except for certain corporate entities outside of the U.S. which are measured using USD. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange. The resultant translation adjustments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity.
New accounting standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses. It requires public entities to disaggregate specific types of expenses, including disclosures for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as well as selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on the related disclosures within our consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions Acquisitions
Trachte Acquisition
On July 16, 2024, as part of our Enclosures reporting segment, we completed the acquisition of Trachte, LLC ("Trachte") for approximately $687.5 million in cash. Trachte is a leading manufacturer of engineered control building solutions designed to protect critical infrastructure assets. The purchase price was funded primarily through borrowings under the 2024 Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (as described in Note 10 below).
The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Trachte acquisition. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to further refinement and may require significant adjustments to arrive at the final purchase price allocation. These changes will primarily relate to trade names and the impacts associated with income taxes. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocation.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Trachte acquisition as previously reported as of September 30, 2024 and revised as of December 31, 2024:
In millionsAs Previously Reported As Revised

Other assets25.3 25.3 
Current liabilities(58.0)(58.9)
Other liabilities(99.0)(100.3)
Purchase price$691.3 $687.5 
The excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill in the amount of $366.3 million, substantially none of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill recognized from the Trachte acquisition reflects the future economic benefit resulting from synergies of our combined operations.
Preliminary identifiable intangible assets acquired include $58.3 million of indefinite-lived trade names, $206.6 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 17 years, $23.8 million of definite-lived proprietary technology with an estimated useful life of 8 years and $45.7 million of customer backlog with an estimated useful life of 2 years. The fair values of trade names and proprietary technology acquired in the acquisition were determined using a relief-from-royalty method, and the fair values of customer relationships and customer backlog acquired were determined using a multi-period excess earnings method. These methods utilize unobservable inputs that are significant to these fair value measurements and thus classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Trachte net sales and operating income for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2024 were $124.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively. Trachte operating income for the period from the acquisition date to December 31, 2024 includes $17.4 million of identifiable intangible asset amortization expense.
ECM Industries Acquisition
On May 18, 2023, as part of our Electrical & Fastening Solutions reporting segment, we completed the acquisition of ECM Investors, LLC, the parent of ECM Industries, LLC ("ECM Industries"), for approximately $1.1 billion in cash. ECM Industries is a leading provider of high-value electrical connectors, tools and test instruments and cable management. The purchase price was funded primarily through borrowings under the 2033 Notes and 2023 Term Loan Facility (as described in Note 10 below).
The purchase price has been allocated based on the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the ECM Industries acquisition.
The following table summarizes the final fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the ECM Industries acquisition:
In millions

Purchase price$1,134.1 
The excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill in the amount of $379.7 million, substantially all of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Goodwill recognized from the ECM Industries acquisition reflects the future economic benefit resulting from synergies of our combined operations.
Identifiable intangible assets acquired included $113.7 million of trade name intangible assets, a majority of which are indefinite-lived, $381.7 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 20 years, and $22.0 million of definite-lived proprietary technology intangible assets with an estimated useful life of 7 years. The fair values of trade names and proprietary technology acquired in the acquisition were determined using a relief-from-royalty method, and customer relationships acquired were determined using a multi-period excess earnings method. These methods utilize unobservable inputs that are significant to these fair value measurements and thus classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information as if the acquisitions of Trachte and ECM Industries had occurred on January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2022, respectively:

The unaudited pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2024 excludes the impact of $6.8 million of transaction-related charges, and acquisition-related bridge financing costs. The results for the year ended December 31, 2023 excludes the impact of $25.6 million of transaction-related charges, acquisition-related bridge financing costs and non-recurring expense related to the fair value inventory step-up.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and includes certain adjustments, as noted above. The adjustments are estimates based on currently available information and actual amounts may differ materially from these estimates. They do not reflect the effect of costs or synergies that would have been expected to result from the integration of the Trachte and ECM Industries acquisitions. The pro forma information does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the Trachte and ECM Industries acquisitions occurred on January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2022, respectively.
Other acquisitions
On July 10, 2023, we acquired TEXA Industries for approximately $34.8 million in cash. TEXA Industries is an Italian manufacturer of industrial cooling applications that we will market as part of the nVent HOFFMAN product line within our Enclosures segment. We acquired $5.2 million of debt with the TEXA Industries acquisition, which we repaid in full in 2023.
The excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identified intangible assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill in the amount of $10.9 million, none of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Identifiable intangible assets acquired included $12.4 million of definite-lived customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 13 years.
The pro forma impact of the TEXA Industries acquisition is not material individually or in the aggregate.

Senior notes
In March 2018, nVent Finance S.à r.l. (“nVent Finance” or "Subsidiary Issuer"), a 100-percent owned subsidiary of nVent, issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.550% senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes").
In November 2021, nVent Finance issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.750% senior notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes").
In May 2023, to finance the acquisition of ECM Industries, nVent Finance issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.650% Senior Notes due 2033 (the "2033 Notes" and, collectively with the 2028 Notes and the 2031 Notes, the "Notes").
Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and interest on the 2031
Notes and 2033 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to payment by nVent (the "Parent Company Guarantor"). There are no subsidiaries that guarantee the Notes. The Parent Company Guarantor is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations unrelated to its investments in consolidated subsidiaries and the issuance of the Notes and other external debt. The Parent Company Guarantor’s principal source of cash flow, including cash flow to make payments on the Notes pursuant to the guarantees, is dividends from its subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Issuer’s principal source of cash flow is interest income from its subsidiaries. None of the subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer is under any direct obligation to pay or otherwise fund amounts due on the Notes or the guarantees, whether in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or other payments. In addition, there may be statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends from certain subsidiaries of the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer. If such subsidiaries are unable to transfer funds to the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer and sufficient cash or liquidity is not otherwise available, the Parent Company Guarantor or the Subsidiary Issuer may not be able to make principal and interest payments on their outstanding debt, including the Notes or the guarantees.
The Notes constitute general unsecured senior obligations of the Subsidiary Issuer and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. The guarantees of the Notes by the Parent Company Guarantor constitute general unsecured obligations of the Parent Company Guarantor and rank
equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and liabilities of the Subsidiary Issuer. Subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued contains covenants that, among other things, restrict nVent’s, nVent Finance’s and certain subsidiaries’ ability to merge or consolidate with another person, create liens or engage in sale and lease-back transactions.
There are no significant restrictions on the ability of nVent to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of nVent or its subsidiaries represents restricted net assets pursuant to the guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Senior credit facilities
In September 2021, the Company and its subsidiaries nVent Finance and Hoffman Schroff Holdings, Inc. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks providing for a five-year $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2021 Term Loan Facility") and a five-year $600.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the 2021 Term Loan Facility, the "Senior Credit Facilities"). Borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan Facility were permitted on a delayed draw basis during the first year of the five-year term of the 2021 Term Loan Facility, and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are permitted from time to time during the full five-year term of the Revolving Credit Facility. In September 2022, nVent exercised the delayed draw provision of the 2021 Term Loan Facility, increasing the total borrowings under the 2021 Term Loan Facility by $200.0 million to $300.0 million. nVent Finance has the option to request to increase the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million, subject to customary conditions, including the commitment of the participating lenders.
As of December 31, 2024, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $600.0 million.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) or Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on, at nVent Finance’s election, the Company's leverage level or public credit rating.
In April 2023, nVent and nVent Finance entered into a loan agreement providing for another senior unsecured term loan facility of $300.0 million for five-years (the "2023 Term Loan Facility"), which was used to fund the acquisition of ECM Industries. The 2023 Term Loan Facility bears interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate or adjusted term SOFR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on, at nVent Finance’s election, the Company's leverage level or public credit rating.
In June 2024, nVent and nVent Finance entered into a new loan agreement providing for an additional senior unsecured term loan facility of $500.0 million for two years (the "2024 Term Loan Facility"). In July 2024, nVent partially financed the acquisition of Trachte using the 2024 Term Loan Facility. The 2024 Term Loan Facility bears interest at a rate equal to an adjusted base rate or adjusted term SOFR plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will be based on, at nVent Finance's election, the Company's leverage level or public credit rating.
Our debt agreements contain certain financial covenants, the most restrictive of which are in the Senior Credit Facilities, the 2023 Term Loan Facility and the 2024 Term Loan Facility, including that we may not permit (i) the ratio of our consolidated debt (net of our consolidated unrestricted cash in excess of $5.0 million but not to exceed $250.0 million) to our consolidated net income (excluding, among other things, non-cash gains and losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash share-based compensation expense ("EBITDA") on the last day of any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters (each, a "testing period") to exceed 3.75 to 1.00 (or, at nVent Finance’s election and subject to certain conditions, 4.25 to 1.00 for four testing periods in connection with certain material acquisitions) and (ii) the ratio of our EBITDA to our consolidated interest expense for the same period to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. In addition, subject to certain qualifications and exceptions, the Senior Credit Facilities, the 2023 Term Loan Facility and the 2024 Term Loan Facility also contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to create liens, merge or consolidate with another person, make acquisitions and incur subsidiary debt. As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all financial covenants in our debt agreements, and there is no material uncertainty about our ongoing ability to meet those covenants.

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Abstract]  
Derivatives and Financial Instruments Derivatives and Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage the volatility related to this exposure, we periodically enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments. Our objective is to reduce, where it is deemed appropriate to do so, fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The derivative contracts contain credit risk to the extent that our bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The amount of such credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains, if any, in such contracts. Such risk is minimized by limiting those counterparties to major financial institutions of high credit quality.
Foreign currency contracts
We conduct business in various locations throughout the world and are subject to market risk due to changes in the value of foreign currencies. We manage our economic and transaction exposure to certain market-based risks through the use of derivative instruments. These derivative instruments primarily consist of forward foreign currency contracts used to mitigate foreign currency exposure for certain foreign currency assets and liabilities. Our objective in holding these derivatives is to reduce the volatility in net earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency rates. The majority of our foreign currency contracts have an original maturity date of less than one year. These foreign currency contracts are not designated as hedging instruments; accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in current period earnings.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had outstanding foreign currency derivative contracts with gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amounts of $73.8 million and $143.0 million, respectively. The impact of these contracts on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income was not material for any period presented.
Cross currency swaps
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had outstanding cross currency swap agreements with a combined notional amount of $321.1 million and $330.8 million, respectively. The agreements are accounted for as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges, to hedge foreign currency fluctuations on certain intercompany debt, or as net investment hedges, to manage our exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. Dollar exchange rate. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had deferred foreign currency gain of $0.7 million and loss of $3.5 million, respectively, in Accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with our cross currency swap activity.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, a net investment hedge was terminated early, resulting in a $0.4 million settlement, which is reflected as a component of investing cash inflows. Subsequent to the termination, we entered into a new net investment hedge of certain Euro-denominated subsidiaries to manage exposure to fluctuations in the Euro-U.S. dollar exchange rate with a gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amount of $134.9 million.
In the second quarter of 2023, a cash flow hedge instrument and a net investment hedge instrument each reached maturity, resulting in settlement amounts reflected as a component of financing and investing cash inflows in the amount of $4.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Upon maturity of the previous agreement, we entered into a new net investment hedge with a gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amount of $66.1 million. This net investment hedge was then settled early in the fourth quarter of 2023, resulting in a $1.7 million settlement, which is reflected as a component of investing cash inflows. Subsequent to the termination, we entered into a new net investment hedge with a gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amount of $126.5 million.
In the third quarter of 2022, as a result of an early settlement of a cash flow hedge instrument, $10.0 million of cash inflows has been reflected as a component of financing cash flows and $0.3 million of expense was recorded to Selling, general and administrative expense from Accumulated other comprehensive loss. We entered into a cash flow hedge with a gross notional U.S. dollar equivalent amount of $121.0 million to replace the terminated agreement, which we designated as a fair value hedge to offset foreign currency risk associated with Euro-denominated intercompany debt.
Fair value of financial instruments
The following methods were used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instrument:
•short-term financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes payable and variable-rate debt) — recorded amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity period;
•long-term fixed-rate debt, including current maturities — fair value is based on market quotes available for issuance of debt with similar terms, which are inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance;
•cross currency swap and foreign currency contract agreements — fair values are determined through the use of models that consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, as well as other relevant economic measures, which are observable inputs that are classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance; and
•deferred compensation plan assets (mutual funds, common/collective trusts and cash equivalents for payment of certain non-qualified benefits for retired, terminated and active employees) — fair value of mutual funds and cash equivalents are based on quoted market prices in active markets that are classified as Level 1 in the valuation hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance; fair value of common/collective trusts are valued at net asset value ("NAV"), which is based on the fair value of the underlying securities owned by the fund divided by the number of shares outstanding.

(4)In 2023, we recorded a non-cash income tax benefit of $93.2 million related to foreign income tax loss carryforwards resulting from tax-deductible statutory losses in Luxembourg. We have determined in 2024 that such loss carryforwards will not be utilized in the remaining carryforward period and have put a valuation allowance against the adjusted remaining loss carryforward available.

We record gross unrecognized tax benefits in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Included in the $11.7 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 was $10.0 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. It is reasonably possible that the gross
unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 may decrease by a range of zero to $2.4 million during 2025, primarily as a result of the resolution of non-U.K. examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitations.
Based on the outcome of tax examinations, or as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns will materially change from those recorded as liabilities in our financial statements. A number of tax periods from 2017 to present are under audit by tax authorities in various jurisdictions, including Germany, India and certain U.S. states. We anticipate that several of these audits may be concluded in the foreseeable future.
We record penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in Provision (benefit) for income taxes and Net interest expense, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have liabilities of $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the possible payment of penalties and $1.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the possible payment of interest expense, which are recorded in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For 2024, we consider substantially all foreign earnings to be indefinitely reinvested. These earnings relate to ongoing operations and have been reinvested in active business operations. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable if such earnings were to be remitted. Deferred taxes, if necessary, have been provided on earnings of non-U.S. affiliates whose earnings are not indefinitely reinvested.
Deferred taxes arise because of different treatment between financial statement accounting and tax accounting, known as "temporary differences." We record the tax effect of these temporary differences as "deferred tax assets" (generally items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future periods) and "deferred tax liabilities" (generally items for which we received a tax deduction but the tax impact has not yet been recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income).

Included in tax loss and credit carryforwards in the table above is a deferred tax asset of $3.1 million as of December 31, 2024 related to foreign tax credit carryover from the tax period ended December 31, 2017 and related to transition taxes. The entire amount is subject to a valuation allowance. The foreign tax credit is eligible for carryforward until the tax period ending December 31, 2027.
As of December 31, 2024, tax loss carryforwards of $789.5 million were available to offset future income. A valuation allowance of $183.2 million exists for deferred income tax benefits related to the tax loss carryforwards which may not be realized. We believe sufficient taxable income will be generated in the respective jurisdictions to allow us to fully recover the remainder of the tax losses. The tax losses relate to non-U.S. carryforwards which are subject to varying expiration periods. Non-U.S. carryforwards of $330.6 million are located in jurisdictions with unlimited tax loss carryforward periods, while the remainder will begin to expire in 2025.

Uncertainty in the securities markets and U.S. economy could result in investment returns less than those assumed. Should the securities markets decline or medical and prescription drug costs increase at a rate greater than assumed, we would expect increasing annual combined net pension and post-retirement health costs for the next several years. Should actual experience
differ from actuarial assumptions, the projected pension benefit obligation and net pension cost and accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation and post-retirement benefit cost would be affected in future years.
Discount rates
The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year based on our December 31 measurement date. The discount rates on our pension plans ranged from 1.00% to 5.39%, 1.00% to 4.88% and 1.00% to 5.22% in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The discount rates are determined by matching high-quality, fixed-income debt instruments with maturities corresponding to the expected timing of benefit payments as of the annual measurement date for each of the various plans. There are no known or anticipated changes in our discount rate assumptions that will materially impact our pension expense in 2025.
Expected rates of return
The expected rates of return on our pension plan assets ranged from 1.00% to 3.25%, 1.00% to 3.75% and 1.00% to 2.25% in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The expected rate of return is designed to be a long-term assumption that may be subject to considerable year-to-year variance from actual returns. In developing the expected long-term rate of return, we considered our historical returns, with consideration given to forecasted economic conditions, our asset allocations, input from external consultants and broader longer-term market indices. Any difference in the expected rate and actual returns will be included with the actuarial gain or loss recorded in the fourth quarter when our plans are remeasured.
Cash flows
Contributions
Pension and other post-retirement plan contributions totaled $4.7 million and $4.8 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company expects to contribute $5.8 million to the plans in 2025.
Estimated future benefit payments
The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service or payout from termination, as appropriate, are expected to be paid by the plans in each of the next five fiscal years and in the aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter are as follows:

Savings plan
nVent is the plan sponsor of a 401(k) retirement plan (nVent Management Company Retirement Savings and Incentive Plan or "401(k) plan") and employee share ownership plan (nVent Electric plc Employee Stock Purchase and Bonus Plan). The 401(k) plan covers certain union and all non-union U.S. employees who met certain age requirements. Under the 401(k) plan, eligible U.S. employees could voluntarily contribute a percentage of their eligible compensation, and we match contributions made by employees who met certain eligibility and service requirements. The employer matching contributions are 100% of the first 5% of eligible compensation. Expense for the 401(k) plan was $13.5 million, $11.4 million, and $10.1 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
Our continuing operations are comprised of two reporting segments, based primarily on types of products offered and markets served:
•Enclosures (to be renamed Systems Protection beginning in the first quarter of 2025)—The Enclosures segment provides innovative solutions to help protect electronics, systems and data in mission critical applications, including data centers, that improve resiliency and energy efficiency. Our standard and custom protective enclosures, cooling solutions, both liquid and air, control buildings and power distribution solutions help manage protect operating environments for mission critical applications in industrial, infrastructure, commercial and energy verticals.
•Electrical & Fastening Solutions (to be renamed Electrical Connections beginning in the first quarter of 2025)—The Electrical & Fastening Solutions segment provides innovative solutions that connect power and data infrastructure. Our offerings enhance end-user safety, reduce installation time and provide resiliency for critical systems. Our cable management, electrical connections and solutions, and power connections help make electrical systems safe, efficient and resilient, and are used across a wide range of verticals, including commercial and residential, infrastructure, industrial and energy.
"Enterprise and other" activity primarily consists of enterprise expenses not allocated to the segments, including certain executive office, board of directors, and centrally-managed enterprise functional or shared service costs related to finance, human resources, legal, supply chain, digital and corporate development. These activities do not meet the criteria for a stand-alone reporting segment under ASC 280.
The accounting policies of our reporting segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company's primary measure of segment profitability is reportable segment income. Reportable segment income represents operating income, which includes certain corporate overhead allocations, and is exclusive of intangible amortization, acquisition related costs, costs of restructuring activities, "mark-to-market" gain/loss for pension and other post-retirement plans, impairments and other unusual non-operating items.
nVent's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our chief executive officer. This presentation is consistent with how the CODM evaluates the results of operations and makes strategic decisions about the business. The CODM uses reportable segment income for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, as well as internal forecasting of future period financial results. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

Share-Based Compensation
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2024
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Share-Based Compensation Share-Based Compensation
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had various share-based awards outstanding which were issued to executives and other eligible employees and directors. Awards with service conditions or both service and market conditions are expensed over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company estimates forfeitures as part of recording share-based compensation expense.
The Company’s long-term incentive program for awarding share-based compensation includes a combination of restricted stock, performance shares and stock options of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the nVent Electric plc 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan”). nVent's sole shareholder approved the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan in 2018. The Company's shareholders approved a subsequent amendment to increase the shares authorized for issuance under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan in 2020. The 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of 18.5 million shares to settle awards. Our practice is to settle share-based awards by issuing new shares of common stock. Upon vesting, dividends that have accumulated during the vesting period are paid on earned awards.
Total share-based compensation expense for the years ended 2024, 2023 and 2022, was as follows:
In millions202420232022
Restricted stock units$14.0 $10.5 $9.0 
Performance share units7.9 7.1 10.6 
Stock options5.4 4.2 3.7 
Total$27.3 $21.8 $23.3 
The total income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation arrangements for continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $8.1 million, $3.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
Restricted stock units (RSUs)
Under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company may award RSUs of our common stock to certain eligible employees and directors. RSUs generally vest one-third each year over a period of three years commencing on the grant date, subject to continuous employment and certain other conditions. The fair values of the RSUs are based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant, and are expensed over the vesting period.
The following table summarizes restricted stock unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2024:
Shares in millionsNumber of sharesWeighted-average grant date fair value

Vested(0.3)35.12 
Outstanding as of December 31, 2024
0.5 55.69 
As of December 31, 2024, there was $11.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs granted, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years. The total fair value of RSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, was $11.9 million, $9.4 million and $9.2 million, respectively.
Performance share units (“PSUs”)
Under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company may award PSUs whose vesting is based on the satisfaction of a service period of three years and the achievement of certain performance metrics over that same period.
For PSU awards granted in 2024, 2023 and 2022 the awards vest based on the satisfaction of a three-year service period and total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the S&P 400 Industrials. Awards earned at the end of the three-year vesting period range from 0% to 200% of the targeted number of PSUs granted based on the ranking of TSR of the Company, assuming reinvestment of all dividends, relative to the S&P 400 Industrials. Expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, and is recognized irrespective of the market condition being achieved.
The grant-date fair value of PSUs with market conditions was determined based upon a lattice model. The principal assumptions used in the lattice model include the expected share price volatility of the Company and members of the defined peer group (based on the most recent three-year period as of the grant date) and the risk-free interest rate (an estimate based on the yield of the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the expected term of the award). A summary of the assumptions used in determining the fair value of these PSUs is as follows:
2024
2023

Risk-free interest rate4.36 %4.66 %1.45 %

As of December 31, 2024, there was $8.9 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to performance share compensation arrangements granted under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. The total fair value of PSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, was $14.2 million, $9.6 million and $4.5 million, respectively.
Stock Options
Under the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock options to any eligible employee with an exercise price equal to the market value of the shares on the dates the options were granted. Options generally vest one-third each year over a period of three years commencing on the grant date and expire ten years after the grant date.
We estimated the fair value of each stock option award issued in the annual share-based compensation grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, modified for dividends, and using the following assumptions for the years ended December 31:
2024
2023
2022
Risk-free interest rate4.06 %3.77 %1.50 %
Expected dividend yield1.27 %1.73 %1.96 %

Expected term (years)6.86.56.2
Weighted-average grant-date fair value for options granted during the year$27.16$16.56$9.24
These estimates require us to make assumptions based on historical results, observance of trends in our share price, changes in option exercise behaviors, future expectations and other relevant factors. If other assumptions had been used, share-based compensation expense, as calculated and recorded under the accounting guidance, could have been affected.
We based the expected life assumption on historical experience as well as the terms and vesting periods of the options granted. For purposes of determining expected volatility, we considered historical volatilities of peer companies over a period approximately equal to the expected option term. The risk-free rate for periods that coincide with the expected life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury Department yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
We have operating leases for office space, production facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, sales offices, fleet vehicles and equipment. We also have finance leases for production facilities and equipment. In accordance with our accounting policy, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We elected the practical expedient for all leases to include both lease and non-lease components within our lease assets and lease liabilities.
Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees, any material bargain purchase options or material restrictive covenants. We have no material sublease arrangements with third parties or lease transactions with related parties.
Costs associated with short-term leases, variable rent and subleases were immaterial.
Our leases have remaining lease terms of one to nineteen years, some of which include renewal options. Renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised are included in the lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the
present value of lease payments, unless an implicit rate is specified. Incremental borrowing rates on a collateralized basis are determined based on the economic environment in which leases are denominated and the lease term.

We have operating leases for office space, production facilities, distribution centers, warehouses, sales offices, fleet vehicles and equipment. We also have finance leases for production facilities and equipment. In accordance with our accounting policy, leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We elected the practical expedient for all leases to include both lease and non-lease components within our lease assets and lease liabilities.
Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees, any material bargain purchase options or material restrictive covenants. We have no material sublease arrangements with third parties or lease transactions with related parties.
Costs associated with short-term leases, variable rent and subleases were immaterial.
Our leases have remaining lease terms of one to nineteen years, some of which include renewal options. Renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised are included in the lease term. The incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the
present value of lease payments, unless an implicit rate is specified. Incremental borrowing rates on a collateralized basis are determined based on the economic environment in which leases are denominated and the lease term.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Warranties and guarantees
In connection with the disposition of our businesses or product lines, we may agree to indemnify purchasers for various potential liabilities relating to the sold business, such as pre-closing tax, product liability, warranty, environmental, or other obligations. The subject matter, amounts and duration of any such indemnification obligations vary for each type of liability indemnified and may vary widely from transaction to transaction.
Generally, the maximum obligation under such indemnifications is not explicitly stated and as a result, the overall amount of these obligations cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications. We believe that if we were to incur a loss in any of these matters, the loss would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.
We provide service and warranty policies on our products. Liability under service and warranty policies is based upon a review of historical warranty and service claim experience. Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and historical experience warrant. Our liability for service and product warranties as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was not material.
Stand-by letters of credit, bank guarantees and bonds
In the ordinary course of business, we are required to commit to bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees that require payments to our customers for any non-performance. The outstanding face value of these instruments fluctuates with the value of our projects in process and in our backlog. In addition, we issue financial stand-by letters of credit primarily to secure our performance to third parties under self-insurance programs.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the outstanding value of bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees totaled $10.7 million and $10.5 million, respectively.
Other matters
We are subject to disputes, administrative proceedings and other claims arising out of the normal conduct of our business. These matters generally relate to disputes arising out of the use or installation of our products, product liability litigation, personal injury claims, commercial and contract disputes and employment related matters. On the basis of information currently available, management does not believe that existing proceedings and claims will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. However, litigation is unpredictable, and we could incur judgments or enter into settlements for current or future claims that could adversely affect our financial statements.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
We have processes in place to assess, identify, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. We track cybersecurity risk as an enterprise risk through our enterprise-wide risk management ("ERM") framework. The Board of Directors is actively involved in oversight of our ERM framework and receives regular reports on risks, including cybersecurity risks. We engage third parties to conduct threat assessments, information system penetration tests, and simulation exercises to validate and further mature our cybersecurity program, the results of which are reported to the Executive Leadership Team, including CTO, and the Board of Directors. We maintain cybersecurity insurance coverage to help mitigate the financial impact of a cybersecurity incident.
Technical Safeguards
We deploy technical safeguards that are designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity incidents, including firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, anti-malware functionality and access controls, all of which are evaluated and improved through vulnerability assessments and cybersecurity threat intelligence.
Incident Response and Recovery Planning
We have established and maintain comprehensive incident response and business continuity plans that address our response to, and mitigation and remediation of, a cybersecurity incident, which includes the support of external cyber-specialist resources when deemed necessary, in addition to managed services to support our Security Operations Center function. We have implemented controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation of cybersecurity incidents to the ELT, and the Board of Directors when appropriate, so that decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner.
Third-Party Risk Management
We maintain a comprehensive, risk-based approach to assessing and overseeing cybersecurity risks presented by third parties, including vendors, service providers and other external users of our systems, as well as the systems of third parties that could adversely impact our business in the event of a cybersecurity incident affecting those third-party systems.
Education and Awareness
We have implemented a security awareness and training program designed to educate employees on the importance of information security and to help them identify and respond to potential security incidents. The program includes annual required cybersecurity training for professional employees, role-based cybersecurity training, and a phishing awareness program for all employees. Additionally, the ELT and Board of Directors have conducted cybersecurity incident and response simulation exercises.
Previous cybersecurity incidents have not materially affected us, including our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. However, risks from cybersecurity threats, including but not limited to exploitation of vulnerabilities, ransomware, denial of service, supply chain disruption, or other similar incidents may materially affect us, including our execution of business strategy, reputation, results of operations and/or financial condition. See Item 1A, Risk Factors, “Increased cybersecurity threats and computer crime pose a risk to our systems, networks, products and services, which expose us to potential regulatory, financial and reputational risks.” for a discussion of cybersecurity risks.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in United States ("U.S.") dollars ("USD") and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of the year.
On July 31, 2024, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Thermal Management business to BCP VI Summit Holdings LP (as assignee of BCP Acquisitions LLC), an affiliate of funds managed by Brookfield Asset Management, for a purchase price of $1.7 billion in cash, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. As a result of the agreement, the Thermal Management business met the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20 to be presented as a discontinued operation and the related assets and liabilities have been reclassified as held for sale for all periods presented. The Thermal Management business was previously disclosed as a stand-alone reporting segment. The Thermal Management business' results of operations and the related cash flows have been reclassified to Income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and cash flows from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, respectively, for all periods presented. We completed the sale of the Thermal Management business on January 30, 2025. For additional information regarding this transaction and its effect on our financial reporting, see Note 6 below.
Fiscal Year
Fiscal year
Our fiscal year ends on December 31. We report our interim quarterly periods on a calendar quarter basis.
Use of Estimates
Use of estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include our accounting for valuation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, estimated losses on accounts receivable, estimated realizable value on excess and obsolete inventory, over-time revenue recognition, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, contingent liabilities, income taxes and pension and other post-retirement benefits. Actual results could differ from our estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or providing services. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
When determining whether the customer has obtained control of the goods or services, we consider any future performance obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in Accounting Standards Codification 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Generally, there is no post-shipping obligation on product sold other than warranty obligations in the normal and ordinary course of business, except where our products are utilized in projects where additional services such as installation are performed. The timing of satisfaction of the Company's performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment.
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account for purposes of revenue recognition. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of our contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, stand-alone selling price is generally readily observable.
Our performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time or over time as work progresses. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for 76%, 79% and 79% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Revenue on these contracts is recognized when obligations under the terms of the contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control upon shipment.
Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for 24%, 21% and 21% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the majority of our revenue recognized over time, we use an input measure to determine progress towards completion. Under this method, sales and gross profit are recognized as work is performed generally based on the relationship between the actual costs incurred and the total estimated costs at completion ("the cost-to-cost method") or based on efforts for measuring progress towards completion in situations in which this approach is more representative of the progress on the contract than the cost-to-cost method. Contract costs include labor, material, overhead and, when appropriate, general and administrative expenses. Changes to the original estimates may be required during the life of the contract and such estimates are reviewed on a regular basis. Sales and gross profit are adjusted using the cumulative catch-up method for revisions in estimated total contract costs. These reviews have not resulted in adjustments that were significant to our results of operations. For performance obligations related to long-term contracts, when estimates of total costs to be incurred on a performance obligation exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is determined.
We use an output method to measure progress towards completion for certain of our Enclosures businesses, as this method appropriately depicts performance towards satisfaction of the performance obligation. Under the output method, revenue is recognized based on number of units produced.
We apply a practical expedient to expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract when incurred because the amortization period would be less than one year. These costs primarily relate to sales commissions and are recorded in Selling, general and administrative in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Further, we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if we expect, at contract inception, that the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be less than one year.
Sales returns
The right of return may exist explicitly or implicitly with our customers. Our return policy allows for customer returns only upon our authorization. Goods returned must be product we continue to market and must be in salable condition. When the right of return exists, we adjust the transaction price for the estimated effect of returns. We estimate the expected returns based on historical sales levels, the timing and magnitude of historical sales return levels as a percent of sales, type of product, type of customer and a projection of this experience into the future.
Pricing and sales incentives
Our sales contracts may give customers the option to purchase additional goods or services priced at a discount. This can come in many forms, such as customer programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives.
We reduce the transaction price for certain customer programs and incentive offerings including pricing arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives that represent variable consideration. Sales incentives given to our customers are recorded using either the expected value method or most likely amount approach for estimating the amount of consideration to which nVent shall be entitled. The expected value is the sum of probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible consideration amounts. An expected value is an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration when there are a large number of contracts with similar characteristics. The most likely amount is the single most likely amount in a range of possible consideration amounts (that is, the single most likely outcome of the contract). The most likely amount is an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration if the contract has limited possible outcomes.
Pricing is established at or prior to the time of sale with our customers and we record sales at the agreed-upon net selling price. However, certain of our businesses allow customers to apply for a refund of a percentage of the original purchase price if they can demonstrate sales to a qualifying end customer. We use the expected value method to estimate the anticipated refund to be paid based on historical experience and the transaction price is reduced for the probable cost of the discount.
Volume-based incentives involve rebates that are negotiated at or prior to the time of sale with the customer and are redeemable only if the customer achieves a specified cumulative level of sales or sales increase. Under these incentive programs, at the time of sale, we estimate the anticipated rebate to be paid based on forecasted sales levels. These forecasts are updated at least quarterly for each customer and the transaction price is reduced for the anticipated cost of the rebate. If the forecasted sales for a customer changes, the accrual for rebates is adjusted to reflect the new amount of rebates expected to be earned by the customer.
Shipping and handling costs
Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling activities after the customer obtains control are treated as a separate performance obligation and recorded in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Shipping and handling costs incurred by nVent for the delivery of goods to customers are considered a cost to fulfill the contract and are included in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Contract assets and liabilities
Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts resulting from sales under long-term contracts when the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition is utilized and revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, such as when the customer retains a small portion of the contract price until completion of the contract. We typically receive interim payments on sales under long-term contracts as work progresses, although for some contracts, we may be entitled to receive an advance payment. Contract liabilities consist of advanced payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized.
Contract assets are recorded within Other current assets and contract liabilities are recorded within Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Research and Development
Research and development
We conduct research and development activities primarily in our own facilities, which consist primarily of the development of new products, product applications and manufacturing processes.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents
We consider highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Trade Receivables and Concentration of Credit Risk
Trade receivables and concentration of credit risk
We record an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce our receivables balance by the amount that is estimated to be uncollectible from our customers, or the expected loss. Estimates used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on historical collection experience, including write-offs and recoveries, periodic credit evaluations of our customers' financial situation and current circumstances, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. We generally do not require collateral.
Inventories
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with substantially all inventories recorded using the first-in, first-out cost method.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost. We compute depreciation by the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
 Years
Land improvements
5 to 20
Buildings and leasehold improvements
5 to 50
Machinery and equipment
3 to 15
Significant improvements that add to productive capacity or extend the lives of properties are capitalized. Costs for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the recorded cost of the assets and their related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and any related gains or losses are included in income.
We review the recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used, such as property, plant and equipment, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Impairment losses on long-lived assets held for sale are determined considering the selling price, and fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose of the assets. The measurement of impairment requires us to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of long-lived assets.
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the net of the fair value of identifiable tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets purchased and liabilities assumed.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment as of the first day of the fourth quarter, and is tested for impairment more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, and recognizing an impairment expense for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
The fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and market approach. Determining the fair value of the reporting units required the use of significant judgment, including assumptions about future revenues and expenses, capital expenditures and changes in working capital and discount rates, which are based on our annual operating plan and long-term business plan. These plans take into consideration numerous factors including historical experience, anticipated future economic conditions, and growth expectations for the industries and end markets in which the reporting unit participates. The level of judgment and estimation is inherently high. Inputs used to estimate these fair values included significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use and, therefore, the fair value assessments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy defined by the accounting guidance.
In estimating fair value using the market approach, we identify a group of comparable publicly-traded companies for each reporting unit that are similar in terms of size and product offering. These groups of comparable companies are used to develop multiples based on total market-based invested capital as a multiple of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). We determine our estimated values by applying these comparable EBITDA multiples to the operating results of our reporting units. The ultimate fair value of each reporting unit is determined considering the results of both valuation methods.
There was no impairment expense recorded in 2024, 2023 or 2022 related to goodwill.
Identifiable intangible assets
Our primary identifiable intangible assets include customer relationships, trade names, proprietary technologies and patents. Identifiable intangibles with definite lives are amortized and those identifiable intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events warrant. We complete our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter each year for those identifiable assets not subject to amortization.
The impairment test for trade names consists of a comparison of the fair value of the trade name with its carrying value. Fair value is measured using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes the trade name has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. This method requires us to estimate the future revenue for the related brands, the appropriate royalty rate and the weighted-average cost of capital. The non-recurring fair value measurement is a Level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy described below.
Income Taxes
Income taxes
We use the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. We maintain valuation allowances unless it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in our tax provision in the period of change. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
Pension and other post-retirement plans
Pension and other post-retirement plans
We sponsor defined-benefit pension plans and a post-retirement health plan. The pension and other post-retirement benefit costs for these plans are determined from actuarial assumptions and methodologies, including discount rates and expected returns on plan assets. These assumptions are updated annually and are disclosed in Note 13.
We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains or losses for pension and other post-retirement benefits annually in the fourth quarter each year (“mark-to-market adjustment”) and, if applicable, in any quarter in which an interim remeasurement is triggered. Net actuarial gains and losses occur when the actual experience differs from any of the various assumptions used to value our pension and other post-retirement plans or when assumptions change, as they may each year. The remaining components of pension expense, including service and interest costs and estimated return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Earnings per ordinary share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding including the dilutive effects of ordinary share equivalents, calculated using the treasury stock method.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments
We recognize all derivatives, including those embedded in other contracts, as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. If the derivative is designated and is effective as a cash flow or fair value hedge, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income when the hedged item affects earnings. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist or if the hedge becomes ineffective, all changes in fair value of the related derivatives that have not been settled are recognized in current earnings. Cash flows of the derivative financial instruments are classified consistent with the underlying hedged item. For a derivative that is not designated as or does not qualify as a hedge, changes in fair value are reported in earnings immediately.
Gains and losses on net investment hedges are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We use derivative instruments for the purpose of hedging interest rate and currency exposures, which exist as part of ongoing business operations. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All other contracts that contain provisions meeting the definition of a derivative also meet the requirements for the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception. Our policy is not to enter into contracts with terms that cannot be designated as normal purchases or sales. From time to time, we may enter into short duration foreign currency contracts to hedge foreign currency risks.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:
Level 1: Valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted market prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2: Valuation is based on inputs such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3: Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.
In making fair value measurements, observable market data must be used when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign currency translation
The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside of the U.S. are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency, except for certain corporate entities outside of the U.S. which are measured using USD. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange. The resultant translation adjustments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of equity.
New Accounting Standards
New accounting standards
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses", which is intended to improve disclosures about a public business entity's expenses. It requires public entities to disaggregate specific types of expenses, including disclosures for purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization, as well as selling expenses. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on the related disclosures within our consolidated financial statements.

(3)In 2023, we recorded a non-cash income tax benefit of $55.4 million related to a step up in tax basis of intangible assets in Switzerland, partially offset by valuation allowances of $5.1 million. The assets are amortizable starting in 2025, and the amortization period varies based on the nature of the underlying assets from which the values were derived.
(4)In 2023, we recorded a non-cash income tax benefit of $93.2 million related to foreign income tax loss carryforwards resulting from tax-deductible statutory losses in Luxembourg. We have determined in 2024 that such loss carryforwards will not be utilized in the remaining carryforward period and have put a valuation allowance against the adjusted remaining loss carryforward available.
