Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corp 8-K

What Happened

• On May 27, 2026 Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corp (ZWS) filed an 8-K furnishing a press release that previews expected results for the second quarter and says the company will provide full Q2 results and a second-half outlook on an earnings call in late July.
• The same filing announces executive changes effective immediately: David J. Pauli (age 44), who joined Zurn Elkay in 2012 and had served as CFO since 2024, was promoted to Chief Operating Officer and will oversee operations, supply chain and IT, reporting to Chair & CEO Todd Adams. Daniel J. Klun (age 51), a company employee since 2005 and VP, Finance since 2017, was promoted to Chief Financial Officer and will oversee financial planning & analysis, treasury, reporting, tax, internal audit and investor relations.

Key Details

• Filing date: May 27, 2026 (Form 8-K, Accession 0001628280-26-038495).
• Q2 preview issued via press release; full Q2 results and second-half outlook to be discussed on an earnings call in late July.
• David J. Pauli promoted to COO; previously CFO since 2024 and with Zurn Elkay since 2012 (age 44).
• Daniel J. Klun promoted to CFO; with the company since 2005, nearly 30 years of financial experience (age 51).

Why It Matters

• Management continuity: both promotions are internal, which suggests continuity in operations and finance and may reduce transition risk for investors.
• Near-term catalyst: the company previewed Q2 results now and will provide detailed quarterly results and second-half guidance on the late-July earnings call—investors should monitor that call for concrete revenue, margin and outlook figures.
• Legal note: the press release was furnished (not “filed”) with the SEC, which limits certain legal liabilities under the Exchange Act; executive compensation will continue to be governed by programs described in the company’s March 12, 2026 proxy filing.
