How much money Ecolab makes can be measured by revenue and profit, and as a large S and P 500 company, it generates billions annually. For recent fiscal years, Ecolab's annual revenue has been in range of 14 to 15 billion dollars. For example, in fiscal year 2023, Ecolab reported revenue of approximately 15.3 billion dollars, up from 14.2 billion in 2022, driven by growth in its Global Industrial, Global Institutional, and Global Healthcare segments and Nalco Water water treatment business. Net income, or profit after expenses, was approximately 1.3 to 1.6 billion dollars in 2023, after accounting for costs, taxes, and investments. In 2022, net income was around 1.1 billion. Operating income was around 2 billion. Ecolab has market capitalization over 60 billion dollars and is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, with over 48,000 employees. The company makes money by selling consumable cleaning chemicals, water treatment chemicals, equipment, and service contracts that provide recurring revenue, which is attractive to investors like Bill Gates. Its revenue has grown steadily over decades through acquisitions and organic growth. Quarterly revenue is about 3.5 to 4 billion. So Ecolab makes about 15 billion in sales and about 1.5 billion in net profit annually in recent years.
