Forward-Looking Information
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, including Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (the “MD&A”) and certain information incorporated by reference, contain forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements in this report include, but are not limited to, statements about our expectations, objectives, anticipations, plans, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future.
Forward-looking statements represent our current expectations about future events, are based on assumptions, and involve risks and uncertainties. If the risks or uncertainties occur or the assumptions prove incorrect, then our results may differ materially from those set forth or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events.
Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “aims,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “would,” variations of such words and similar expressions are also intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Readers are directed to risks and uncertainties identified under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and elsewhere in this report for factors that may cause actual results to be different from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
Forward-looking statements in this report include, without limitation, statements about the following:
•our belief that the pressure exchanger is the industry standard for energy recovery in the seawater reverse osmosis (“SWRO”) industry;
•our anticipation of continued growth in product revenues as the need to expand potential water production globally is increasing, as well as the increased purchases of product for plant maintenance in advance of the anticipation of the economic recovery;
•our belief that pressure exchanger technology can provide benefits to our customers, including the reduction of capital expenditures and energy use;
•our belief that our pressure exchanger technology can address inefficiencies and waste within industrial systems and processes that involve high-pressure and low-pressure fluid flows;
•our belief that our PX® Pressure Exchanger® (“PX”) has helped make SWRO desalination an economically viable and more sustainable option in the production of potable water;
•our belief that markets not traditionally associated with desalination, including the United States of America (the “U.S.”) will inevitably develop and provide further revenue growth opportunities;
•our belief that, as the existing thermal technology is replaced with reverse osmosis (“RO”) technology, demand for our products will be created;
•our belief that ongoing operating costs rather than capital expenditures is the key factor in the selection of an energy recovery device (“ERD”) solution for megaproject (“MPD”) customers;
•our belief that our PX offers market-leading efficiency and reduction of total lifecycle cost to the end client;
•our estimate that MPD customer projects represent revenue opportunities from approximately $1 million to $18 million;
•our belief that initial capital expenditure rather than future ongoing operating costs is the key factor in selection of an ERD solution for original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) projects;
•our belief that our PX has a competitive advantage, as compared to the Flowserve Corporation’s DWEER product, because our devices are made with highly durable and corrosion-resistant aluminum oxide (“alumina”) ceramic parts that are designed for a life of more than 25 years, are warrantied for high efficiencies, and cause minimal unplanned downtime, resulting in lower lifecycle costs;
•our belief that our PX has a distinct competitive advantage over Fluid Equipment Development Company’s (“FEDCO”) turbochargers and Danfoss Group’s iSave ERDs because our devices provide up to 98% efficiency, have lower lifecycle maintenance costs, and are made of highly durable and corrosion-resistant alumina ceramic parts;
•our belief that our Turbochargers compete favorably with FEDCO’s turbochargers based on efficiency, price, and because our Turbochargers have design advantages that enhance efficiency, operational flexibility and serviceability;
•our belief that our Ultra PX enables customers to optimize their wastewater treatment process for Minimal Liquid Discharge and Zero Liquid Discharge;
•our belief that our pressure exchanger technology can significantly help reduce the operating costs of CO2 refrigeration systems by recycling the pressure energy of CO2 gas thereby significantly reducing the energy needed to operate these systems;
•our belief that we will be able to achieve efficiencies across a wider range of temperatures that exceed incumbent CO2 refrigeration technologies;
•our belief that the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) principles into our corporate and risk management strategies can strengthen our existing business as well as our efforts to develop new applications of pressure exchanger technology for high-pressure fluid-flow environments;
•our belief that our enhanced safety measures will allow us to help contain the spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”);
•the development of major public health concerns, including the COVID-19 outbreak or other pandemics arising globally, and the future impact of such major public health concerns, and specifically in the short-term the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business and operations;
•our belief that our existing cash and cash equivalents, our short and/or long-term investments, and the ongoing cash generated from our operations, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, with the exception of a decision to enter into an acquisition and/or fund investments in our latest technology arising from rapid market adoption that could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing;
•our expectation of increased sales and marketing expenditures for the balance of 2021 and early 2022;
•our expectation that we will be able to enforce our intellectual property (“IP”) rights;
•our expectation that the adoption of new accounting standards will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations; and
•other factors disclosed under the MD&A and Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Note 1 — Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Energy Recovery, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Energy Recovery”) create technologies that solve complex challenges for industrial fluid-flow markets worldwide. Building on the Company’s pressure exchanger technology platform, the Company designs and manufactures solutions that improve operational efficiency by reducing waste, energy consumption and costs across a range of industrial processes. What began as a game-changing invention for desalination has grown into a global business advancing the environmental sustainability of the Company’s customers’ operations in multiple industries. The Company’s solutions are marketed, sold in, or developed for, the fluid-flow and gas markets, such as water, industrial waste, oil & gas, chemical processing and refrigeration, under the trademarks ERI®, Ultra PX™, PX®, Pressure Exchanger®, PX Pressure Exchanger® (“PX”), PX PowerTrain™, VorTeq™, IsoBoost®, AT™, AquaBold™, and PX G1300™. The Company owns, manufactures and/or develops its solutions, in whole or in part, in the United States of America (the “U.S.”).
Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Energy Recovery, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The December 31, 2020 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements and may not include all disclosures required by GAAP; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The September 30, 2021 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021 (the “2020 Annual Report”).
All adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future periods.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and certain notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, to conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires the Company’s management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.
The accounting policies that reflect the Company’s more significant estimates and judgments and that the Company believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating its reported financial results are revenue recognition; valuation of stock options; valuation and impairment of goodwill; inventory; deferred taxes and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets; and evaluation and measurement of contingencies. Those estimates could change, and as a result, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

ENERGY RECOVERY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Due to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and the impact on the Company’s customers, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of November 5, 2021, the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly these estimates for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by law.
Significant Accounting Policies
Except for adopting new accounting pronouncements, as noted under “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements,” there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies in Note 1, “Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” in the 2020 Annual Report.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”), which provided optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or by another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The FASB later issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, to clarify the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 (“ASU 2021-01”). Entities may apply the provisions of the new standards as of the beginning of the reporting period when the election is made (i.e., as early as the first quarter of 2020). Unlike other topics, the provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to have been completed. An entity may elect to apply amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The optional expedients were available to be used upon issuance of this guidance but the Company has not yet applied the guidance because the Company has not yet modified its existing contract for reference rate reform. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2020-04 or ASU 2021-01 to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operation, and cash flows.

In June 2020, the Company and Schlumberger Technology Corporation (“Schlumberger”) entered into an agreement to terminate the 2015 license agreement between the Company and Schlumberger (the “VorTeq License Agreement”). The VorTeq License Agreement was entered into to provide Schlumberger with the exclusive worldwide rights to the VorTeq technology. The termination of the VorTeq License Agreement was effective June 1, 2020. As there were no future performance obligations to be recognized under the VorTeq License Agreement after the effective date, the Company recognized in full the remaining deferred revenue balance of $24.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020. In addition, no future license and development revenue was recognized under the VorTeq License Agreement after the second quarter of fiscal year 2020.

Note 3 — Net Income Per Share
Net income for the reported period is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period to calculate basic net income per common share.
•Basic net income per share excludes any dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units ("RSU").
•Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding stock options to purchase common stock were exercised for shares of common stock, using the treasury stock method, and the shares of common stock underlying each unvested RSU were issued.
Outstanding stock options to purchase common stock and unvested RSUs are collectively referred to as “stock awards.”
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income per share.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually in the third quarter of the Company’s fiscal year or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level, which represents the operating segment.
On July 1, 2021, the Company estimated the fair value of its reporting units using both the discounted cash flow and market approaches. The forecast of future cash flows, which are based on the Company’s best estimate of future net sales and operating expenses, are based primarily on expected category expansion, pricing, market segment, and general economic conditions. The Company incorporates other significant inputs to its fair value calculations, including discount rate and market multiples, to reflect current market conditions. The analysis performed indicated that the fair value of each reporting unit that is allocated goodwill significantly exceeds its carrying value. As a result, no impairment charge was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2021. The Company continues to actively monitor the industries in which it operates and its business performance for indicators of potential impairment.

Note 5 — Investments and Fair Value Measurements
Available-for-Sale Investments
The Company’s investments in investment-grade short-term and long-term high-quality marketable debt instruments, such as U.S. treasury securities, and corporate notes and bonds, are classified as available-for-sale. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, available-for-sale investments were classified on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as either short-term and/or long-term investments.
The classification of available-for-sale investments on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and definition of each of these classifications are provided in Note 1, “Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies - Significant Accounting Policies,” subsections “Cash and Cash Equivalents” and “Short-term and Long-term Investments,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” in the 2020 Annual Report.
Expected maturities can differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties. The Company generally holds available-for-sale investments until maturity; however, from time-to-time, the Company may elect to sell certain available-for-sale investments prior to contractual maturity.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
All of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are remeasured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and are classified and disclosed in one of the following three pricing category levels:
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, thereby requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

The Company may in the future become involved in additional litigation in the ordinary course of business, including litigation that could be material to its business.
The Company considers all claims on a quarterly basis and, based on known facts, assesses whether potential losses are considered reasonably possible, probable and estimable. Based upon this assessment, the Company then evaluates disclosure requirements and whether to accrue for such claims in its consolidated financial statements. The Company records a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and are adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. As of September 30, 2021, there were no material losses which were probable or reasonably possible.

The Company’s tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period. The Company’s quarterly tax provision and estimate of its annual effective tax rate are subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting its pre-tax income or loss and the mix of jurisdictions to which they relate, intercompany transactions, the applicability of special tax regimes, and changes in how the Company does business.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the recognized income tax benefit included a benefit primarily related to the U.S. federal research and development (“R&D”) tax credit and a discrete tax benefit due primarily to stock-based compensation windfalls. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the recognized income tax charge included a discrete tax charge related to the termination of the VorTeq License Agreement, partially offset by a benefit primarily related to the U.S. federal R&D tax credit and a discrete tax benefit due primarily to stock-based compensation windfalls.
The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, is largely related to the discrete tax benefit from stock-based compensation windfall tax deductions. Excluding the discrete tax benefit in both nine month periods presented, the effective tax rate was comparable.

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We create technologies that solve complex challenges for industrial fluid-flow markets worldwide. Building on our pressure exchanger technology platform, we design and manufacture solutions that improve operational efficiency by reducing waste, energy consumption and costs across a range of industrial processes. What began as a game-changing invention for desalination has grown into a global business advancing the environmental sustainability of our customers’ operations in multiple industries. We are a global team with sales and on-site technical support available worldwide, and we maintain international direct sales offices and technical support centers to service the European, Middle Eastern and Asian markets.
Our core technology is the pressure exchanger. Our pressure exchanger technology efficiently transfers energy between high-pressure and low-pressure liquid or gas through continuously rotating ducts. Our PX® Pressure Exchanger® (“PX”) can operate in both low-pressure and high-pressure environments between 1,000 pounds per square inch (“psi”), or 70 bar, and up to approximately 10,000 psi, or 700 bar. Our pressure exchanger technology can also handle a variety of relatively clean to dirty liquids, and we are actively developing capabilities to handle gases. When applied to industrial systems with pressure differentials, our pressure exchanger technology can provide certain benefits including our customers’ ability to reduce capital expenditures and energy use, which leads to lower carbon emissions, as well as lower operating costs.
Engineering and research and development (“R&D”) have been, and remain, an essential part of our history, culture and corporate strategy. Since our formation, we have developed leading technology and engineering expertise through the continual evolution of our pressure exchanger technology, which can improve productivity by reducing waste and energy consumption in high-pressure industrial fluid-flow systems. This versatile technology powers several of our products, including our flagship PX energy recovery device (“ERD”), which we believe is the industry standard for energy recovery in the seawater reverse osmosis desalination (“SWRO”) industry. Today, we continue to push the boundaries of our pressure exchanger technology to handle different operating environments and industrial applications. Leveraging our proven pressure exchanger technology platform, we are identifying new ways to solve and developing new solutions for solving challenges for critical industries, such as industrial wastewater treatment, commercial and industrial refrigeration, natural gas processing and hydraulic fracturing.
Quarterly Highlights
The decrease in product revenues during the quarter, as compared to the same period in 2020, was as expected due primarily to the project timeline of megaproject (“MPD”) channel shipments, which can fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter. Management anticipates continued growth based on existing backlog, as well as the increasing need to expand potential water production globally and the increased purchases of product for continued plant maintenance in advance of the anticipation of an economic recovery and greenfield projects in industries affected by the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, such as travel and hospitality. The 2021 year-to-date total revenues, as compared to the 2020 year-to-date total revenues, was lower due primarily to the elimination of license and development revenue in 2021, of which none was recognized after the termination of the VorTeq License Agreement in the second quarter of 2020.
Our PX G1300™ has moved into the next phase of development, which will involve holding field trials at commercial refrigeration sites. During the quarter, we have had many fruitful conversations with U.S. and international grocery chains and manufacturers, and have recently entered into an agreement to deploy our PX G1300 energy recovery device to a grocery store in California. We expect increased sales and marketing (“S&M”) expenditures for the balance of 2021 and 2022 related to these endeavors.
The world has been experiencing significant inflationary and supply chain issues in recent months. To date, we have remained materially unaffected by these events. We cannot protect ourselves from all risks but have been proactively working to mitigate risks where possible. We are working with customers to ensure timely delivery of product, by adjusting shipping schedules, where necessary, to avoid disruptions to our end customers. In addition, in anticipation of such issues, we have increased our raw material inventory to alleviate or avoid any external shocks on our ability to manufacture and ship products to customers. These decisions have increased inventory levels above historic trends, nearly doubling inventory values. This has not only alleviated supply chain issues, but has also had the positive effect of delaying the impact of raw material inflation, and in some cases, reduce raw material costs due to higher volume purchases.
Energy Recovery, Inc. | Q3'2021 Form 10-Q | 25
During the quarter, we released our second annual Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) report, which details our efforts to accelerate the environmental sustainability of our customers’ operations and enhance management of ESG issues in our own operations. We understand the importance of being a responsible corporate citizen and believe our ESG program provides us with a strategic roadmap to become a more sustainable and resilient business. Our ESG report outlines our ESG commitments and aligns to leading sustainability frameworks and reporting standards, including the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board as well as select disclosures from the Global Reporting Initiative and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
As part of our efforts to transparently communicate our ESG performance to our stakeholders, in September 2021, we hosted an ESG-focused webinar, “Charting Sustainable Growth with ESG Principles,” in which our Company leaders reviewed highlights of our ESG program and how ESG is linked to driving long-term, sustainable growth for us and our stakeholders.
Our complete 2020 ESG report can be found on our website at: https://energyrecovery.com/about-us/environmental-social-governance/.
Segments
We continue to monitor and review our segment reporting structure in accordance with authoritative guidance to determine whether any changes have occurred that would impact our reportable segments. As a result of the evolution of our products, operations and R&D efforts in new product development, such as industrial and commercial refrigeration applications, and the way in which our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages and assesses the performance of the business, starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, we realigned our segment reporting and have recast the prior year amounts for comparability. In addition, to better align the activities of the segments, we have re-allocated certain corporate resources to the segments’ operations.
Water
Our Water segment includes the continued development, sales and support of the PX, hydraulic turbochargers and pumps used in seawater desalination and industrial wastewater activities. Our Water segment revenue is principally derived from the sale of ERDs and high-pressure and circulation pumps to the MPD, original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and aftermarket (“AM”) channels. MPD sales are typically made to global e
