ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Overview, Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Overview
EnPro Industries, Inc. (EnPro or the Company), through a number of operating subsidiaries,
designs, develops, manufactures and markets well recognized, proprietary engineered industrial
products that include sealing products, metal and metal-polymer bearings and filament wound
products, air compressors, and heavy-duty, medium-speed diesel, natural gas and dual fuel
reciprocating engines.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2007, was derived from the
audited financial statements included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a
fair statement of results for the periods presented, have been included. Management believes that
the assumptions underlying the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. These interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto that are included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of
the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be
indicative of those for a full year.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Companys operations have
been eliminated.
Certain amounts in the accompanying 2007 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No.
APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement) (APB 14-1). APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain
convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion to separately account for
the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuers
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early application is not permitted; however, the transition guidance requires retrospective
application to all periods presented. The impact of adopting APB 14-1 as of the October 2005
issuance date of the Companys convertible senior debentures is currently estimated to result in
decreases in noncurrent assets (deferred tax assets and capitalized debt issuance costs) totaling
$24.2 million, a decrease in long-term debt of $61.3 million and an increase in additional paid-in
capital of $37.1 million.
4
It is estimated that annual earnings before taxes will be reduced between $2.3 million and
$5.1 million over the life of the convertible debt as a result of the increase in non-cash interest
expense that will need to be recorded using the effective interest rate method for the debt
discount amortization computation.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
"Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 with
the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and
why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance
and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company
is in the process of evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R),
"Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160,
"Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS
160). These new standards will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting for
future business combination transactions and noncontrolling (or minority) interests in consolidated
financial statements on a prospective basis. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS 141(R) and
SFAS 160 for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. These new standards will not change
the financial accounting and reporting for business combinations completed prior to the effective
date of the new standards.
2. Acquisitions
In June 2008, the Company purchased the 20% ownership of the minority shareholder of Garlock
Pty Limited in Australia. Subsequent to the share purchase, the Company owns 100% of Garlock Pty
Limited, which is in the Sealing Products segment.
In May 2008, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Air
Perfection, Inc., a privately-held business which audits, sells and services compressed air
systems. This acquisition is included in the Companys Engineered Products segment.
In February 2008, the Company acquired V.W. Kaiser Engineering, a privately-held manufacturer
of pins, bushings and suspension kits for the commercial vehicle aftermarket. In January 2008, the
Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sinflex Sealing Technologies, a
distributor and manufacturer of industrial sealing products, located in Shanghai, China. These
acquisitions are included in the Companys Sealing Products segment.
The acquisitions completed during 2008 were paid for in cash. The purchase price allocations
of recently acquired businesses are subject to the completion of the valuation of certain assets
and liabilities.
3. Other Operating Expense (Income)
Included in other operating expense (income) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was
$2.5 million received related to the favorable settlement of a warranty claim against a supplier.
5
Also during 2008, the Company sold a building for $3.0 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of
$2.2 million. This related to the relocation and consolidation of facilities for an operation in
the Sealing Products segment.
The Company incurred $0.6 million and $2.6 million of restructuring costs during the quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 2008, and $0.8 million and $3.1 million during the quarter and
nine months ended September 30, 2007, related to ongoing projects.
4. Other Income (Expense)
Included in other non-operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, were
$3.4 million of incremental costs for legal, financial and strategic advice and proxy solicitation
in connection with the contested election of directors initiated by one of the Companys
shareholders. On April 11, 2008, an agreement with the shareholder was entered into that resolved
the contested election.
5. Income Taxes
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had $4.0 million and $19.1
million, respectively, of liabilities recorded for unrecognized tax benefits. The decrease in
these liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was primarily a result of the
settlement of various jurisdictional tax audits. The liabilities included interest of $0.5 million
and $1.9 million, respectively. The unrecognized tax benefit balances as of December 31, 2007,
also included $13.2 million for a tax position for which the ultimate deductibility was highly
certain but for which there was uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Included in
the unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, were cumulative
amounts of $4.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively, for uncertain tax positions that would
affect the Companys effective tax rate if recognized. The Company records interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
During the quarter ending September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a net non-cash benefit of
$1.8 million to income tax expense related to the reversal of reserves for uncertain tax benefits
resulting from the settlement of various jurisdictional tax audits.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax
in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Substantially all state, local and foreign income tax
returns for the years 2003 through 2007 are open to examination. The U.S. federal income tax
return for 2007 is also open to examination. Various foreign and state tax returns are currently
under examination and may conclude within the next twelve months. The final outcomes of these
audits are not yet determinable; however, management believes that any assessments that may arise
will not be material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing certain of its inventories.
An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year
based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are
based on managements estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs, which are subject
to change in the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

The Company anticipates there will be no required funding in 2008 for its U.S. defined benefit
pension plans. The Company expects to make total contributions of approximately $1.4 million in
2008 to its foreign pension plans. In 2007, the Company made discretionary contributions of $10.0
million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans.
12. Shareholders Equity
On March 3, 2008, pursuant to a $100 million share repurchase authorization approved by the
Companys board of directors, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR)
agreement with a financial institution to provide for the immediate retirement of $50 million of
the Companys common stock. Under the ASR agreement, the Company purchased approximately 1.7
million shares of its common stock from a financial institution at an initial price of $29.53 per
share. The financial institution borrowed these shares from third parties. Total consideration
paid to the financial institution at initial settlement to repurchase these shares, including
commissions and other fees, was approximately $50.2 million and was recorded in shareholders
equity as a reduction of common stock and additional paid-in capital.
The price adjustment period under the ASR terminated in August 2008. During the term of the
ASR, the financial institution purchased shares of the Companys common stock in the open market to
settle its obligation related to shares borrowed from third parties and sold to the Company. The
Company was required to remit a final settlement adjustment of $11.9 million based on an average of
the reported daily volume weighted average price of its common stock during the term of the ASR.
The final settlement adjustment was remitted in cash and was recorded in shareholders equity as a
reduction of additional paid-in capital.
13. Business Segment Information
The Company has three reportable segments. The Sealing Products segment manufactures sealing
and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) products. The Engineered Products segment manufactures metal
and metal-polymer bearings and filament wound products, air compressor systems and vacuum pumps,
and reciprocating compressor components. The Engine Products and Services segment manufactures and
services heavy-duty, medium-speed diesel, natural gas and dual fuel reciprocating engines. The
Companys reportable segments are managed separately based on differences in their products and
services and their end-customers. Segment profit is total segment revenue reduced by operating
expenses and restructuring and other costs identifiable with the segment. Corporate expenses
include general corporate administrative costs. Expenses not directly attributable to the
segments, corporate expenses, net interest expense, asbestos-related expenses, gains/losses or
impairments related to the sale of assets and income taxes are not included in the computation of
segment profit. The accounting
10
policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the Company. Segment operating
results and other financial data for the quarters and nine-months ended September 30, 2008 and
2007, are as follows:

14. Fair Value Measurements
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157) for financial assets and liabilities. As permitted by FASB
Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No 157, the Company elected to
defer the adoption of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. SFAS 157
provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair
value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for
an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous
market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the
measurement date.
SFAS 157 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those
three levels:
11
|
|
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities. |
|
|
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
|
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions. |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as

The Companys cash equivalents, Crucible back-up trust assets, deferred compensation assets
and liabilities, and restricted cash instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value
hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. For further discussion of the
Crucible back-up trust, see Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies Crucible Materials
Corporation. The fair values for foreign currency derivatives are based on quoted market prices
from various banks for similar instruments.
In December 2007, the Company was notified that the cash management fund held at a financial
institution would be closed and liquidated. In addition, (1) cash redemptions were temporarily
suspended, although redemptions could be filled through a pro-rata distribution of the underlying
securities, consisting principally of high-quality corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities and
asset-backed securities; (2) the funds valuation would be based on the market value of the
underlying securities, whereas historically the funds valuation was based on amortized cost; and
(3) interest would continue to accrue. Due to this event, the Company re-evaluated the nature of
the investment and determined that it should be reclassified as an investment rather than as a cash
equivalent in its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has been advised by the fund
manager that the intention is to make an orderly liquidation of the cash management fund with the
goal of preserving and distributing as much of the original investment values as possible to the
fund investors. The fair value of the cash management fund assets is determined through broker
quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency and is
reflected in the net asset value of the fund. In the quarter and the nine months ended September
30, 2008, the Company recorded an expense of $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related
to decreases in the value of the cash management fund.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
General
Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of
business with respect to commercial, product liability and environmental matters, are pending or
threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries and seek monetary damages and/or other remedies.
In addition, asbestos litigation against certain of the Companys subsidiaries is described in
this section in more detail. The Company believes that any liability that may finally be
determined with respect to commercial and non-asbestos product liability claims should not have a
material effect on the Companys consolidated financial condition or results of operations. From
time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are also involved as plaintiffs in legal proceedings
involving contract, patent protection, environmental, insurance and other matters.
Environmental
The Companys facilities and operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental
and occupational health and safety requirements of the U.S. and foreign countries. The Company
takes a proactive approach in its efforts to comply in all material respects with environmental,
health and safety laws as they relate to its manufacturing operations and in proposing and
implementing any remedial plans that may be necessary. The Company also conducts comprehensive
compliance and management system audits at its facilities to maintain compliance and improve
operational efficiency.
Although the Company believes past operations were in substantial compliance with the then
applicable regulations, the Company or one of its subsidiaries has been named as a potentially
responsible party or is otherwise involved at 20 sites at each of which the costs to the Company or
its subsidiary are expected to exceed $100,000. Investigations have been completed for 15 sites
and are in progress at the other five sites. The majority of these remediation projects involve
former operating facilities that were sold or closed and primarily deal with remediation of soil
and groundwater contamination. The laws governing investigation and remediation of these sites can
impose joint and several liability for the associated costs. Liability for these costs can be
imposed on present and former owners or operators of the properties or on parties that generated
the wastes that contributed to the contamination.
The Companys policy is to accrue environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The
measurement of the liability is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to
each individual situation and takes into consideration factors such as existing technology,
presently enacted laws and regulations and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites.
Liabilities are established for all sites based on these factors. As assessments and remediation
progress at individual sites, these liabilities are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect
additional technical data and legal information. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
EnPro had accrued liabilities of $23.3 million and $27.7 million, respectively, for estimated
future expenditures relating to environmental contingencies. These amounts have been recorded on
an undiscounted basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company believes that its accruals for environmental liabilities are adequate based on
currently available information. Actual costs to be incurred for identified situations in future
periods may vary from estimates because of the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental
exposures due to unknown conditions, changing government regulations and legal standards regarding
liability. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future environmental costs, the Company
believes that maintaining compliance with current environmental laws and government regulations
will not require significant capital expenditures or have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition, but could be material to its results of operations or cash flows in a given
period.
13
Colt Firearms and Central Moloney
The Company has contingent liabilities related to divested businesses for which certain of its
subsidiaries retained liability or are obligated under indemnity agreements. These contingent
liabilities include, but are not limited to, potential product liability and associated claims
related to the Companys former Colt Firearms subsidiary for firearms manufactured prior to its
divestiture in 1990 and the Companys former Central Moloney subsidiary for electrical transformers
manufactured prior to its divestiture in 1994. No product liability claims are currently pending
against the Company related to Colt Firearms or Central Moloney. The Company also has ongoing
obligations, which are included in retained liabilities of previously owned businesses in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets, with regard to workers compensation, retiree medical and other
retiree benefit matters that relate to the Companys periods of ownership of these operations.
Crucible Materials Corporation
Crucible Materials Corporation (Crucible), which is engaged primarily in the manufacture and
distribution of high technology specialty metal products, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Coltec
Industries Inc (Coltec), a subsidiary of the Company, until 1985 when a majority of the
outstanding shares were sold. Coltec divested its remaining minority interest in 2004.
In conjunction with the closure of a Crucible plant in the early 1980s, Coltec was required to
fund two trusts for retiree medical benefits for union employees at the plant. The first trust
(the Benefits Trust) pays for these retiree medical benefits on an ongoing basis. Coltec has no
ownership interest in the Benefits Trust, and thus the assets and liabilities of this trust are not
included in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the terms of the Benefits Trust
agreement, the trustees retained an actuary to assess the adequacy of the assets in the Benefits
Trust in 1995 and 2005. A third, and final, report will be required in 2015. The actuarial
reports in 1995 and 2005 determined that there were adequate assets to fund the payment of future
benefits. If it is determined in 2015 that the trust assets are not adequate to fund the payment
of future medical benefits, Coltec will be required to contribute additional amounts to the
Benefits Trust. In the event there are ever excess assets in the Benefits Trust, those excess
assets will not revert to Coltec.
Because of the possibility that Coltec could be required to make additional contributions to
the Benefits Trust to cover potential shortfalls, Coltec was required to establish a second trust
(the Back-Up Trust). The trust assets and a corresponding liability of the Back-Up Trust are
reflected in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets in other non-current assets and in retained
liabilities of previously owned businesses, respectively, and amounted to $22.0 million each at
September 30, 2008. As noted above, based on the valuation completed in early 2005, an actuary
determined there were adequate assets in the Benefits Trust to fund the estimated payments from the
trust until the final valuation date in 2015. The Back-Up Trust assets and liability will be kept
equal to each other on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets until 2015 when the final
actuarial report is completed and a determination is made as to whether or not a payment to the
Benefits Trust is required. If there is no payment required or the amount of the payment is less
than the value of the assets in the Back-Up Trust, the remaining
assets of the Back-Up Trust will revert to the Company.
The Company also has ongoing obligations, which are included in retained liabilities of
previously owned businesses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with regard to workers
compensation, retiree medical and other retiree benefit matters, in addition to those mentioned
previously, that relate to the Companys period of ownership of this operation.
14
Debt and Capital Lease Guarantees
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had contingent liabilities for potential payments on
guarantees of certain debt and lease obligations totaling $6.2 million. These guarantees arose
from the divestitures of Crucible and Central Moloney, and expire at various dates through 2010.
There is no liability for these guarantees reflected in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In the event that the other parties do not fulfill their obligations under the debt or lease
agreements, the Company could be responsible for these obligations.
Other Contingent Liability Matters
The Company provides warranties on many of its products. The specific terms and conditions of
these warranties vary depending on the product and the market in which the product is sold. The
Company records a liability based upon estimates of the costs that may be incurred under its
warranties after a review of historical warranty experience and information about specific warranty
claims. Adjustments are made to the liability as claims data and historical experience warrant.
Changes in the carrying amount of the product warranty liability for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

Asbestos
History. Certain of the Companys subsidiaries, primarily Garlock Sealing
Technologies LLC (Garlock) and The Anchor Packing Company (Anchor), are among a large number of
defendants in actions filed in various states by plaintiffs alleging injury or death as a result of
exposure to asbestos fibers. Among the products at issue in these actions are industrial sealing
products, including gaskets and packing products. The damages claimed vary from action to action,
and in some cases plaintiffs seek both compensatory and punitive damages. To date, neither Garlock
nor Anchor has been required to pay any punitive damage awards, although there can be no assurance
that they will not be required to do so in the future. Liability for compensatory damages has
historically been allocated among responsible defendants. Since the first asbestos-related
lawsuits were filed against Garlock in 1975, Garlock and Anchor have processed more than 900,000
asbestos claims to conclusion (including judgments, settlements and dismissals) and, together with
their insurers, have paid more than $1.3 billion in settlements and judgments and over $400 million
in fees and expenses.
Claims Mix. Of those claims resolved, approximately 3% have been claims of plaintiffs
alleging the disease mesothelioma, approximately 7% have been claims of plaintiffs alleging lung or
other cancers, and approximately 90% have been claims of plaintiffs alleging asbestosis, pleural
plaques or other non-malignant impairment of the respiratory system. Of the approximately 105,100
open cases at September 30, 2008, the Company is aware of approximately 4,500 (4%) that involve
claimants alleging mesothelioma.
New Filings. About 4,400 new claims were filed against the Companys subsidiaries in
the first nine months of 2008, approximately the same number as in the first nine months of 2007.
The number of new actions filed against the Companys subsidiaries in 2007 (5,200) was lower than
the number filed in
15
2006 (7,700) and 2005 (15,300). The number filed against its subsidiaries in each of those
three years was much lower than the number filed in the peak filing year, 2003, when 44,700 new
claims were filed. Factors in the decline include, but are not limited to, tort reform in some
high profile states, especially Mississippi, Texas and Ohio; tort reform in Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina, Kansas and Tennessee; actions taken and rulings by some judges and court administrators
that have had the effect of limiting access to their courts for claimants without sufficient ties
to the jurisdiction or claimants with no discernible disease; acceleration of claims into past
years; and declining incidence of asbestos-related disease. The trend of declining new filings has
been principally in non-malignant claims; however, new filings of claims alleging mesothelioma,
lung and other cancers have declined modestly since 2005.
Product Defenses. The asbestos in products formerly sold by Garlock and Anchor was
encapsulated, which means the asbestos fibers were incorporated into the products during the
manufacturing process and sealed in a binder. The products were also nonfriable, which means they
could not be crumbled by hand pressure. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration,
which began generally requiring warnings on asbestos-containing products in 1972, has never
required that a warning be placed on products such as Garlocks gaskets. Even though no warning
label was required, Garlock included one on all of its asbestos-containing products beginning in
1978. Further, gaskets such as those previously manufactured and sold by Garlock are one of the
few asbestos-containing products still permitted to be manufactured under regulations of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. Nevertheless, Garlock discontinued all manufacture and
distribution of asbestos-containing products in the U.S. during 2000 and worldwide in mid-2001.
From the mid-1980s until 2000, U.S. sales of asbestos-containing industrial sealing products were
not a material part of Garlocks sales and were predominantly to sophisticated purchasers such as
the U.S. Navy and large petrochemical facilities.
Garlocks product defenses have enabled it to be successful at trial. Garlock won defense
verdicts in three of the four cases tried to verdict in the first nine months of 2008, and in seven
of ten cases tried to verdict in the years 2006 through 2008. In the successful jury trials, the
juries determined that either Garlocks products were not defective, that Garlock was not
negligent, or that the claimant was not exposed to Garlocks products.
Recent Trial Results. During the first nine months of 2008, Garlock began eight
trials involving ten plaintiffs. Garlock received three jury verdicts in its favor, one in an Ohio
case and two in a Pennsylvania trial involving two plaintiffs. In a Pennsylvania lung cancer case
the jury awarded the plaintiff $400,000. Garlocks share was $200,000, 50% of the total verdict.
Garlock plans to appeal this verdict. Also in Pennsylvania, three lawsuits involving four
plaintiffs settled during trial before the jury reached a verdict. A lawsuit in California also
settled during trial. In South Carolina, Garlock obtained a dismissal in one case during trial
because there was insufficient evidence of exposure to Garlock products.
In 2007, Garlock began nine trials involving twelve plaintiffs. A Massachusetts jury returned
a defense verdict in favor of Garlock. In a Kentucky case, the jury awarded the plaintiff $145,000
against Garlock. Garlock is appealing this verdict. Four lawsuits in Pennsylvania settled during
trial before the juries had reached a verdict. Garlock also settled cases during trial in
Louisiana, Maryland and Washington.
In 2006, Garlock began ten trials involving eleven plaintiffs. Garlock received jury verdicts
in its favor in Oakland, California; Easton, Pennsylvania; and Louisville, Kentucky. In
Pennsylvania, three other lawsuits involving four plaintiffs settled during trial before the juries
reached verdict. Garlock also settled cases in Massachusetts, California and Texas during trial.
In a retrial of a Kentucky case, the jury awarded the plaintiff $900,000 against Garlock. The
award was significantly less than the $1.75 million award against Garlock in the previous trial,
which Garlock successfully appealed. In addition, Garlock
16
obtained dismissals in two cases in Philadelphia after the juries were selected but before the
trials began because there was insufficient evidence of exposure to Garlock products.
Appeals. Garlock has historically been successful in a majority of its appeals. The
Company believes that Garlock will continue to be successful in the appellate process, although
there can be no assurance of success in any particular pending or future appeal. In June 2007, the
New York Court of Appeals, in a unanimous decision, overturned an $800,000 verdict that was entered
against Garlock in 2004, granting a new trial. In March 2006, a three-judge panel of the Ohio
Court of Appeals, in a unanimous decision, overturned a $6.4 million verdict that was entered
against Garlock in 2003, granting a new trial. The case subsequently settled. On the other hand,
the Maryland Court of Appeals denied Garlocks appeal from a 2005 verdict in a mesothelioma case in
Baltimore and Garlock paid that verdict, with post-judgment interest, in the fourth quarter of
2006. In a separate Baltimore case in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Maryland Court of Special
Appeals denied Garlocks appeal from another 2005 verdict. The subsequent appeal of that decision
was also denied and Garlock paid that verdict in the second quarter of 2007. At September 30,
2008, three Garlock appeals were pending from adverse verdicts totaling $1.2 million.
In some cases, appeals require the provision of security in the form of appeal bonds,
potentially in amounts greater than the verdicts. The Company has been required to provide cash
collateral to secure the full amount of the bonds, which can restrict the use of a significant
amount of the Companys cash for the periods of such appeals. At September 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007, the Company had $1.1 million of cash collateral relating to appeal bonds recorded as
restricted cash in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Settlements. Garlock settles and disposes of actions on a regular basis. Garlocks
historical settlement strategy was to settle only cases in advanced stages of litigation. In 1999
and 2000, however, Garlock employed a more aggressive settlement strategy. The purpose of this
strategy was to achieve a permanent reduction in the number of overall asbestos claims through the
settlement of a large number of claims, including some early-stage claims and some claims not yet
filed as lawsuits. Due to this short-term aggressive settlement strategy and a significant overall
increase in claims filings, the settlement amounts paid in those years and several subsequent years
were greater than the amounts paid in any year prior to 1999. In 2001, Garlock resumed its
historical settlement strategy and focused on reducing settlement commitments. As a result,
Garlock reduced new settlement commitments from $180 million in 2000 to $94 million in 2001 and $86
million in 2002. New settlement commitments totaled $84 million in 2006 and $76 million in 2007.
Approximately $15 million of the 2006 amount and approximately $5 million of the 2007 amount were
committed in settlements to pay verdicts that had been rendered in the years 2003 2005. New
settlement commitments in the first nine months of 2008 were $53.9 million, down from $63.6 million
in the first nine months of 2007. Some of the decline was because of timing.
Settlements are made without any admission of liability. Settlement amounts vary depending
upon a number of factors, including the jurisdiction where the action was brought, the nature and
extent of the disease alleged and the associated medical evidence, the age and occupation of the
plaintiff, the presence or absence of other possible causes of the plaintiffs alleged illness,
alternative sources of payment available to the plaintiff, the availability of legal defenses, and
whether the action is an individual one or part of a group.
Before any payment on a settled claim is made, the claimant is required to submit a medical
report acceptable to Garlock substantiating the asbestos-related illness and meeting specific
criteria of disability. In addition, sworn testimony or other reliable evidence that the claimant
worked with or around Garlock asbestos-containing products is required. The claimant is also
required to sign a full and
17
unconditional release of Garlock, its subsidiaries, parent, officers, directors, affiliates
and related parties from any liability for asbestos-related injuries or claims.
Status of Anchor. Anchor is an inactive and insolvent indirect subsidiary of Coltec.
There is no remaining insurance coverage available to Anchor. Anchor has no remaining assets and
has not committed to settle any actions since 1998. As cases reach the trial stage, Anchor is
typically dismissed without payment.
Insurance Coverage. At September 30, 2008, Garlock had available $323.3 million of
solvent insurance and trust coverage that the Company believes will be available to cover future
asbestos claims and certain expense payments. In addition, at September 30, 2008, Garlock
classified $24.7 million of otherwise available insurance as insolvent. The Company believes that
Garlock will recover some of the insolvent insurance over time. In fact, Garlock collected
approximately $1 million from insolvent carriers in 2007. There can be no assurance that Garlock
will collect any of the remaining insolvent insurance.
Of the $323.3 million of collectible insurance and trust assets, the Company considers $289.4
million (90%) to be of high quality because (a) the insurance policies are written or guaranteed by
U.S.-based carriers whose credit rating by S&P is investment grade (BBB) or better, and whose AM
Best rating is excellent (A-) or better, or (b) the assets are in the form of cash or liquid
investments held in insurance trusts resulting from commutation agreements. The Company considers
$33.9 million (10%) to be of moderate quality because the insurance policies are written with (a)
other solvent U.S. carriers who are unrated or below investment grade ($28.1 million) or (b) with
various London market carriers ($5.8 million). Of the $323.3 million, $219.4 million is allocated
to claims that have been paid by Garlock and submitted to its insurance companies for reimbursement
and the remainder is allocated to pending and estimated future claims as described later in this
section.
Arrangements with Garlocks insurance carriers limit the amount of insurance proceeds that
Garlock is entitled to receive in any one year. Based on these arrangements, which include
settlement agreements in place with most of the carriers involved, the Company anticipates that its
remaining solvent insurance will be collected during the period 2008 2018 in approximately the
following annual amounts: 2008 through 2010 $70 million per year ($58.8 million was collected in
the first nine months of 2008); 2011 $40 million; 2012 and 2013 $25 million per year; 2014
through 2016 $20 million per year; and 2017 and 2018 $12 million per year.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company reached an agreement with a significant group
of related U.S. insurers. These insurers had withheld payments pending resolution of a dispute.
The agreement provides for the payment of the full amount of the insurance policies ($194 million)
in various annual payments to be made from 2007 through 2018. Under the agreement, Garlock
received $22 million in 2007 and $20 million in the first nine months of 2008.
Insurance coverage for asbestos claims is not available to cover exposures initially occurring
on and after July 1, 1984. Although Garlock and Anchor continue to be named as defendants in new
actions, only a few allege initial exposure after July 1, 1984. To date, no payments have been
made with respect to these few claims, pursuant to a settlement or otherwise. Garlock and Anchor
believe that they have substantial defenses to these claims and therefore automatically reject them
for settlement. However, there can be no assurance that any or all of these defenses will be
successful in the future.
The Companys Liability Estimate. Prior to mid-2004, the Company maintained that its
subsidiaries liability for unasserted claims was not reasonably estimable. The Company estimated
and recorded liabilities only for pending claims in advanced stages of processing, for which it
believed it had a basis for making a reasonable estimate. The Company disclosed the significance
of the total potential liability for unasserted claims in considerable detail. By 2004, however,
most asbestos defendants who
18
disclose their liabilities were recording estimates of their liabilities for pending and
unasserted claims. In view of the change in practice by other defendants, during 2004 the Company
authorized counsel to retain Bates White to assist in estimating the Companys subsidiaries
liability for pending and future asbestos claims.
Bates Whites first report, dated February 17, 2005, provided an estimate of the liability as
of December 31, 2004 for the following ten years, which represented a time horizon within which
Bates White believed such liability was both probable and estimable within a range of values. At
that time, Bates White opined that each value within the range of $227 million to $382 million was
an equally likely estimate of the liability. The Company adopted the Bates White estimate and,
accordingly, recorded an additional liability for pending and unasserted claims as of December 31,
2004 to increase the Companys liability to an amount equal to the low end of the estimated range
($227 million).
Bates White has updated its estimate every quarter since the end of 2004. The estimated range
of potential liabilities provided by Bates White at September 30, 2008 was $414 million to $595
million. According to Bates White, increases since the initial estimate have been attributable
primarily to (1) an increase in settlement values of mesothelioma claims, (2) an increase in claims
filings and values in some jurisdictions, most notably California, and (3) the delay in, and
uncertain impact of, the funding and implementation of trusts formed under Section 524(g) of the
United States Bankruptcy Code to pay asbestos claims against numerous defendants in Chapter 11
reorganization cases. Because the 524(g) trusts are estimated to have more than $30 billion that
will be available for the payment of asbestos claims, they could have a significant impact on the
Companys future settlement payments and could therefore significantly affect its liability.
Each quarter until the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company adopted the Bates White estimate
and adjusted the liability to equal the low end of the then-current range. Until the second
quarter of 2006, the additional liability was recorded with a corresponding increase in the
Companys insurance receivable, and thus did not affect net income. During the second quarter of
2006, however, the Companys insurance was fully allocated to past, present and future claims, and
therefore subsequent changes to the Bates White estimate were recorded as charges to income.
The Company has independently developed internal estimates for asbestos-related liabilities.
The Company has used those estimates for a variety of purposes, including guidance for settlement
negotiations and trial strategy, in its strategic planning, budgeting and cash flow planning
processes, and in setting targets for annual and long-term incentive compensation. Until the end
of 2006, the Company did not have sufficient history comparing claims payments to its internal
estimates to allow it to identify a most likely point within the Bates White range. Therefore,
prior to the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company had adopted the low end of the range provided by
Bates White. However, the Companys internal estimate has been within the Bates White range of
equally likely estimates and has proven to be a more precise predictor of the actual amounts spent
on settlements and verdicts than the low end of the range. As a result, while the low end of the
Bates White range still provides a reasonable lower boundary of possible outcomes, Bates White and
management believe that the Companys internal estimate for the next ten years represents the most
likely point within the range. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the recorded liability from the
low end of the Bates White estimate to its point estimate in the fourth quarter of 2006 and has
adjusted the liability in each subsequent quarter consistent with managements internal estimates.
The Company focuses on future cash flows to prepare its estimate. It makes assumptions about
declining future asbestos spending based on (1) past trends, (2) publicly available epidemiological
data, (3) current agreements with plaintiff firms and its judgment about the current and future
litigation environment, (4) the availability to claimants of other payment sources, both
co-defendants and the 524(g) trusts, and (5) the input and insight provided to the Company by Bates
White. The Company
19
adjusts its estimate when current cash flow results and long-term trends suggest that its
targets cannot be met. As a result, the Company has a process that it believes produces the best
estimate of the future liability for the ten-year time period within the Bates White range.
The Company currently estimates that the liability of its subsidiaries for the indemnity cost
of resolving asbestos claims for the next ten years will be $476.1 million. The estimated
liability of $476.1 million is before any tax benefit and is not discounted to present value, and
it does not include fees and expenses, which are recorded as incurred. The recorded liability will
continue to be impacted by actual claims and settlement experience and any change in the legal
environment that could cause a significant increase or decrease in the long-term expectations of
management and Bates White. The Company expects the recorded liability to fluctuate, perhaps
significantly. Any significant change in the estimated liability could have a material effect on
the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
The Companys estimate is within the Bates White range, developed independently. The Company
believes that its estimate is the best estimate within the Bates White range of reasonable and
probable estimates of Garlocks future obligation, but it notes that Bates White also indicated a
broader range of potential estimates from $181 million to $674 million. The Company cautions that
points within or outside that broader range remain possible outcomes. Also, while the Company
agrees with Bates White that beyond two to four years for Garlocks economically-driven
non-malignant claims and beyond ten years for Garlocks cancer claims and medically-driven
non-malignant claims, there are reasonable scenarios in which the [asbestos] expenditure is de
minimus, it cautions that the process of estimating future liabilities is highly uncertain.
Adjusting the Companys liability to the best estimate within the range does not change that fact.
In the words of the Bates White report, the reliability of estimates of future probable
expenditures of Garlock for asbestos-related personal injury claims declines significantly for each
year further into the future. Scenarios continue to exist that could result in a total future
asbestos liability for pending and future claims for Garlock in excess of $1 billion.
As previously mentioned, the liability estimate does not include legal fees and expenses,
which add considerably to the costs each year. Over the last two years, these expenses have
averaged approximately $6 million per quarter. In addition to these legal fees and expenses, the
Company expects to continue to record charges or credits to income in future quarters for:
|
|
Increases or decreases, if any, in the Companys estimate of Garlocks potential
liability, plus |
|
|
Increases, if any, that result from additional quarters added to maintain the
ten-year estimation period (increases of this type have averaged approximately $6 7
million per quarter for the last two years), plus |
|
|
Amounts, if any, of solvent insurance lost or commuted, offset by insolvent
recoveries and earnings from insurance settlement trusts. |
In the third quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $13.0 million to
reflect net cash outlays of $6.2 million for fees and expenses paid during the quarter and a $6.8
million non-cash charge primarily to add an estimate of the liability for the third quarter of 2018
to maintain a ten year estimate. In the third quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a pre-tax
charge of $11.5 million to reflect cash outlays of $5.9 million for fees and expenses incurred
during the quarter and a $5.6 million non-cash charge primarily to add an estimate for the third
quarter of 2017 to maintain a ten year estimate. For the first nine months of 2008, the Company
recorded pre-tax charges of $37.3 million to reflect net cash outlays of $18.6 million for fees and
expenses and $18.7 million for non-cash charges primarily to add an estimate of the liability for
the first nine months of 2018. In the first nine months of 2007, the Company recorded pre-tax
charges to income of $37.5 million to reflect net cash outlays of $19.6 million for legal
20
fees and expenses and $17.9 million for non-cash charges primarily to add an estimate of the
liability for the first nine months of 2017.
Quantitative Claims and Insurance Information. The Companys liability as of
September 30, 2008 was $483.4 million (the Companys estimate of the liability described above of
$476.1 million plus $7.3 million of accrued legal and other fees already incurred but not yet
paid). The liability included $88.5 million classified as a current liability and $394.9 million
classified as a noncurrent liability. The recorded amounts do not include legal fees and expenses
to be incurred in the future.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had remaining solvent insurance and trust coverage of
$323.3 million reflected on its balance sheet as a receivable ($61.1 million classified in current
assets and $262.2 classified in non-current assets), which it believes will be available for the
payment of asbestos-related claims. Included in the receivable is $219.4 million in insured claims
and expenses that our subsidiaries have paid out in excess of amounts recovered from insurance.
These amounts are recoverable under the terms of the Companys insurance policies and have been
billed to the insurance carriers. The remaining $103.9 million will be available for pending and
future claims.
The table below quantitatively depicts the number of pending cases, asbestos-related cash
flows, the amount that the Company expects Garlock to recover from insurance related to this
liability, and an analysis of the liability.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following is managements discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have
affected our financial condition, cash flows and operating results during the periods included in
the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes. You should
read this in conjunction with those financial statements and the audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007.
Forward-Looking Information
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes statements that reflect projections or
expectations of the future financial condition, results of operations, liabilities and business of
EnPro that are subject to risk and uncertainty. We believe those statements to be
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When used in this report, the words believe,
anticipate, estimate, expect, intend, should, could, would or may and similar
expressions generally identify forward-looking statements.
We cannot guarantee that actual results or events will not differ materially from those
projected, estimated, assigned or anticipated in any of the forward-looking statements contained in
this report. In addition to those factors specifically noted in the forward-looking statements and
those identified in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007,
other important factors that could result in those differences include:
|
|
the resolution of current and potential future asbestos claims against certain of
our subsidiaries, which depends on such factors as the possibility of asbestos reform
legislation, the financial viability of insurance carriers, the amount and timing of
payments of claims and related expenses, the amount and timing of insurance
collections, limitations on the amount that may be recovered from insurance carriers,
the bankruptcies of other defendants and the results of litigation; |
|
|
changes in the estimated liability for early-stage and potential future asbestos
claims that may be received, which is highly uncertain, is based on subjective
assumptions and is a point within a range of estimated values; |
|
|
general economic conditions in the markets served by our businesses, some of which
are cyclical and experience periodic downturns; |
|
|
prices and availability of raw materials; and |
22
|
|
|
the amount of any payments required to satisfy contingent liabilities related to
discontinued operations of our predecessors, including liabilities for certain
products, environmental matters, guaranteed debt and lease payments, employee benefit
obligations and other matters. |
We caution our shareholders not to place undue reliance on these statements, which speak only
as of the date on which such statements were made.
Whenever you read or hear any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributed
to us or any person acting on our behalf, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements
contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly
any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Overview and Outlook
Overview. EnPro was incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on
January 11, 2002. We design, develop, manufacture and market proprietary engineered industrial
products. We have 43 primary manufacturing facilities located in the United States and 10
countries outside the United States.
We manage our business as three segments: a Sealing Products segment, an Engineered Products
segment, and an Engine Products and Services segment.
Our Sealing Products segment designs, manufactures and sells sealing products, including
metallic, non-metallic and composite material gaskets, rotary seals, compression packing, resilient
metal seals, elastomeric seals, hydraulic components and expansion joints, as well as wheel-end
component systems, PTFE products, conveyor belting and sheeted rubber products. These products are
used in a variety of industries, including chemical and petrochemical processing, petroleum
extraction and refining, pulp and paper processing, heavy-duty trucking, power generation, food and
pharmaceutical processing, primary metal manufacturing, mining, water and waste treatment and
semiconductor fabrication.
Our Engineered Products segment includes operations that design, manufacture and sell
self-lubricating, non-rolling, metal-polymer bearings, filament wound bearings, solid polymer
bearings, aluminum blocks for hydraulic applications, rotary and reciprocating air compressors,
vacuum pumps, air systems and compressor components. These products are used in a wide range of
applications, including the automotive, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, gas transmission, health,
construction, petrochemical and general industrial markets.
Our Engine Products and Services segment designs, manufactures, sells and services heavy-duty,
medium-speed diesel, natural gas and dual fuel reciprocating engines. The United States government
and the general markets for marine propulsion, power generation, and pump and compressor
applications use these products and services.
In January 2008, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sinflex Sealing
Technologies, a distributor and manufacturer of industrial sealing products, located in Shanghai,
China. The operation conducts business as Garlock Sealing Technologies (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. and is
operated and managed as part of the global Garlock Sealing Technologies business unit in the
Sealing Products segment. Sinflex was Garlocks principal distributor in China for over a decade.
In February 2008, we acquired the stock of V.W. Kaiser Engineering, a manufacturer of pins,
bushings and suspension kits primarily for the heavy-duty truck and bus aftermarket. V.W. Kaiser
Engineering is located in Michigan. It is operated and managed as part of the Stemco business
unit, also in the Sealing Products segment. In May 2008, we acquired certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities of Air Perfection in California. Air Perfection is engaged in the audit, sale,
distribution, rental and service of compressed air systems and the
23
various components that comprise such systems. The business is operated and managed as part
of the Quincy Compressor business unit, which is in the Engineered Products Segment. In June 2008,
we purchased the 20% ownership of the minority shareholder of Garlock Pty Limited in Australia.
Subsequent to the share purchase, we own 100% of Garlock Pty Limited, which is in the Sealing
Products segment.
On March 3, 2008, pursuant to a $100 million share repurchase authorization approved by our
board of directors, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a
financial institution to provide for the immediate retirement of $50 million of our common stock.
Under the ASR agreement, we purchased approximately 1.7 million shares of our common stock from a
financial institution at an initial price of $29.53 per share. Total consideration paid at initial
settlement to repurchase these shares, including commissions and other fees, was approximately
$50.2 million and was recorded in shareholders equity as a reduction of common stock and
additional paid-in capital.
The price adjustment period under the ASR terminated on August 29, 2008. In connection with
the finalization of the ASR, we remitted in cash a final settlement adjustment of $11.9 million to
the financial institution that executed the ASR. The final settlement adjustment, recorded as a
reduction of additional paid-in capital, was based on the average of the reported daily
volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the term of the ASR. It resulted in a
remittance to the financial institution because the volume-weighted average price of our common
stock during the term of the ASR exceeded the initial price of $29.53 per share. After the final
settlement adjustment, we had completed about $62 million of the share repurchase authorization.
Pursuant to the share repurchase authorization and in accordance with the terms of a 10b5-1 plan
announced on September 8, 2008, we acquired 252,400 shares of our common stock in open-market
transactions at an average price of about $28.00 per share, resulting in total repurchases of
approximately $7.1 million from October 1, 2008 to October 29, 2008. On October 29, 2008, in light
of the volatility in the financial and credit markets, the board of directors terminated the 10b5-1
plan.
Outlook. We believe we are making progress in connection with our strategies to
improve operating efficiency; to expand our product offerings, our markets, and our customer base;
to strengthen the mix of our businesses; and to effectively manage asbestos claims against our
subsidiaries. We believe the acquisitions we have completed contribute to the expansion of our key
businesses and that they improve our mix. We expect to experience continued growth and improvement
in the acquired companies. In the current economic environment, our markets are slowing and are
not likely to improve before the end of the year. These conditions may affect our opportunities
for organic growth in the fourth quarter, but our performance over the first nine months of 2008,
our participation in a broad range of markets, our growing international presence and acquisitions
we completed during the past year should lead to an improvement in our full year results when
compared to 2007. At the same time, our balance sheet remains strong and we expect to have
sufficient liquidity to maintain our strategic direction.
We anticipate that we will show a net decrease in our cash balance in 2008 as a result of:
$62.1 million used to repurchase shares of the Companys common stock in accordance with the ASR
agreement; $7.1 million used for open-market common stock purchases that we made during October
2008; and the acquisitions that were made in the first nine months of 2008 and those that may be
made during the remainder of the year. We expect increases in capital expenditures and net
asbestos-related payments compared to 2007 to be partially offset by an increase in operating
income. Capital spending in 2008 is expected to be higher than 2007 as a result of our strategy to
improve operational efficiency and continued investments to grow our businesses. We believe net
asbestos-related payments will be higher in 2008 than in 2007 because we estimate that we will
collect less in insurance recoveries.
In connection with the recent volatility in the equity and fixed income investment markets,
we, like many companies, have experienced a significant decline in the value of the assets that
fund our U.S.
24
defined benefit pension plans. We have been analyzing the effect of the decline on our
pension funding status, our future pension expense and our cash contribution requirements. We will
continue to analyze the situation and update the accounting for our pension plans in our Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2008. Based on currently available data, which is subject to
change, we estimate that we will be required to make cash contributions in 2009 totaling $9.0
million. We estimate that the annual U.S. pension expense will increase from about $5 million
in the year ended December 31, 2008, to approximately $8 10 million in 2009. We anticipate
an increase in our pension liability and a reduction of shareholders equity at December 31, 2008,
to reflect the increase in the underfunding of the pension plans.

Segment profit is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and restructuring and
other costs identifiable with the segment. Corporate expenses include general corporate
administrative costs. Expenses not directly attributable to the segments, corporate expenses, net
interest expense, asbestos-related expenses, gains/losses or impairments related to the sale of
assets, and income taxes are not included in the computation of segment profit. The accounting
policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for EnPro.
Third Quarter of 2008 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2007
Sales of $278.6 million in the third quarter of 2008 increased 10% from $252.7 million in the
comparable quarter of 2007. The results of acquisitions completed since the third quarter of 2007
added five percentage points of the sales increase. Two percentage points of growth were primarily
the result of selected price increases and additional volume at some businesses partially offset by
lower volume at Fairbanks Morse Engine principally due to the timing of engine shipments. In
addition, a decline in demand from OEM heavy-duty truck and trailer manufacturers and aftermarket
customers continued to negatively impact Stemcos volume. The increase in the values of foreign
currencies relative to the U.S. dollar contributed the remaining three percentage points to the
increase.
25
Segment profit, managements primary measure of how our operations perform, increased 2% from
$40.4 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $41.1 million in 2008. Segment profit increased
primarily due to selected price increases, contributions from acquisitions and cost reductions.
These improvements were largely offset by cost increases in several areas, particularly raw
materials and other manufacturing input costs. Segment margins, defined as segment profit divided
by sales, decreased from 16.0% in 2007 to 14.8% in 2008.
The decrease in corporate expenses from $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $7.4
million in 2008 was primarily the result of severance expenses in 2007 that did not recur in 2008
and lower incentive compensation expenses in 2008.
Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2008 was 28% compared to 38.5% in 2007. The
change in the rate is principally a result of the reversal of reserves for uncertain tax positions
in connection with the settlement of various jurisdictional tax audits and the benefit of
reductions in statutory income tax rates in several countries.
Net income was $13.1 million, or $0.62 per share, in the third quarter of 2008 compared to
$12.3 million, or $0.54 per share, in the same quarter of 2007. Earnings per share are expressed
on a diluted basis.
Following is a discussion of operating results for each segment during the quarter:
Sealing Products. Sales of $127.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 were 13%
higher than the $112.6 million reported in the comparable quarter of 2007. Acquisitions completed
since the third quarter of 2007 added five percentage points of the growth while organic growth
contributed six percentage points. The favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates versus
the U.S. dollar accounted for two percentage points of the growth. Sales at Garlock Sealing
Technologies increased 13%. Its sales were favorably impacted by increased demand in European
markets; strength in the oil and gas, energy, mining and primary metals sectors; selected price
increases; and increases in the value of foreign currencies. Stemcos sales during the quarter
increased 11% year-over-year primarily as a result of the acquisition of the V.W. Kaiser business
in late February and price increases. Its OEM and aftermarket sales for the U.S. heavy-duty truck
market continued to be lower compared to 2007 as the number of new trailers built and usage of
existing trucks decreased as a result of the U.S. economic slowdown. Garlock Rubber Technologies
experienced a sales increase of 26%. Increased activity in its key markets and products
contributed to the improvement. Sales for Plastomer Technologies were flat during the third
quarter of 2008 compared to the same quarter last year.
Segment profit of $21.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 increased 3% compared to the
$20.5 million reported in the third quarter of 2007. A 12% increase in profit at Garlock Sealing
Technologies reflected the benefits of its higher sales and selected price increases. Stemco
reported a slight decline in profit primarily due to the slowdown in the heavy-duty vehicle markets
partially offset by the addition of the V.W. Kaiser business. As a result of its increase in
sales, Garlock Rubber Technologies contributed to the increase in segment profit. Manufacturing
and SG&A costs negatively impacted Plastomer Technologies results as they reported a decline in
earnings compared to last year. Operating margins for the segment decreased to 16.6% in 2008 from
18.2% in 2007 as a result of the earnings declines at Stemco and Plastomer Technologies.
Engineered Products. Sales of $131.0 million in the third quarter of 2008 were 17%
higher than 2007 third quarter sales of $111.5 million. Acquisitions completed since the third
quarter of 2007 favorably impacted revenue by seven percentage points and increased activity in the
segments operations added six percentage points. The year-over-year increase in the value of
foreign currencies contributed
26
four percentage points of the sales increase. Sales for Compressor Products International in the
third quarter of 2008 were 27% higher than the amount reported in the comparable quarter of 2007
primarily due to acquisitions and increased volume in Canadian and French markets. In 2008, GGB
benefited mainly from favorable foreign currency exchange rates, the addition of an acquired
product line and solid demand in certain markets and regions. Quincy Compressors sales increased
as a result of the acquisition completed in the second quarter of 2008, selected price increases
and more shipments of higher priced compressors than in 2007.
Segment profits were $17.0 million in the third quarter of 2008, which compares to $17.3
million reported in the same quarter of 2007. GGBs profits decreased in 2008 due to cost
increases in the European operations that exceeded their price increases. Quincy Compressor
reported a decrease in its profit as a result of net cost increases. Profits at Compressor
Products International increased as a result of acquisitions and improved volume and product mix.
The entire segment experienced significant upward cost pressure in raw materials and other
manufacturing costs that was partially offset by selected price increases and cost reductions
resulting from operational excellence improvements. Operating margins for the segment decreased
from 15.5% in 2007 to 13.0% in 2008.
Engine Products and Services. Sales were down from $28.9 million in the third quarter
of 2007 to $21.1 million in the third quarter of 2008. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in sales
was principally due to fewer shipments of engines in the third quarter of 2008.
The segment reported a profit of $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $2.6
million in the third quarter of 2007. The year-over-year improvement consisted of net cost
reductions and price increases in the current quarter compared to the third quarter of 2007.
Operating margins for the segment increased to 14.2% in 2008 from 9.0% in 2007.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
Sales increased 16% from $754.4 million in 2007 to $878.5 million in 2008. Acquisitions
completed since the third quarter of 2007 contributed six percentage points of the 2008 growth.
Another six percentage points of growth were principally a result of the same factors that
influenced the organic growth in the third quarter of 2008. The year-over-year increase in the
values of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar added four percentage points to the total
growth rate.
Segment profit increased 15% from $126.5 million in 2007 to $145.5 million in 2008. Segment
profit in the first nine months of 2008 benefited primarily from the same changes that resulted in
the increase in segment profit in the third quarter of 2008. In addition, segment profit increased
as a result of a one-time $2.5 million warranty claim settlement received from a supplier in the
second quarter of 2008. Segment margins in 2007 were 16.8% compared to 16.6% in 2008.
The increase in corporate expenses from $26.0 million in the first nine months of 2007 to
$29.2 million in the same period of 2008 was primarily the result of recording expenses in
connection with the chief executive officer transition that took place during the second quarter of
2008. In addition, higher estimates for 2008 incentive compensation expenses contributed to the
increase compared to 2007. This was partially offset by severance expenses in 2007 that did not
recur in 2008.
Net interest expense during the first nine months of 2008 was $3.7 million compared to zero in
2007. The increase in net increase expense was caused by decreases in our cash balance and the
yields on cash and cash equivalent investments.
27
Other income (expense), net included a $2.2 million gain on the sale of fixed assets related
to the disposal of the former Plastomer Technologies facility in Newtown, Pennsylvania in the first
nine months of 2008. Other income (expense), net also included $3.4 million of expenses incurred
in the first nine months of 2008 for external advisors and service providers engaged in connection
with the contested election of directors that was resolved in April 2008.
Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, was 33.6% compared to
37.5% in 2007. The change in the rate is principally a result of the same factors that affected
the third quarter comparison.
Net income was $47.4 million, or $2.22 per share, for the first nine months of 2008 compared
to $38.4 million, or $1.71 per share, in the same period last year. Earnings per share are
expressed on a diluted basis.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt repayments and
common stock repurchases have been and continue to be funded from cash balances on hand and cash
generated from operations. Should we need additional capital in the future, we have other
resources available, which are discussed under the heading of Capital Resources.
Cash Flows
Operating activities generated cash in the amount of $68.8 million in the first nine months of
2008 compared to $75.0 million in the same period last year. The decrease in operating cash flows
was primarily attributable to an increase in working capital during the first half of 2008 in line
with normal seasonal patterns and lower asbestos-related insurance collections in 2008. We made a
$10 million contribution to the U.S. defined benefit pension plans in 2007 but no contribution
payment in 2008. As expected, asbestos-related insurance collections were lower in 2008 than in
2007 and amounted to $58.8 million and $77.3 million, respectively. The decrease in insurance
collections was partially offset by a decrease in asbestos-related payments, which amounted to
$78.9 million in 2008 and 91.4 million in 2007.
Investing activities used $60.0 million and $101.5 million of cash during the first nine
months of 2008 and 2007, respectively. We made net payments for acquisitions of $37.4 million in
2008 compared to $72.1 million in 2007. In addition, capital expenditures in 2008 were
approximately $6 million more than in 2007 as we continue to invest in growth opportunities and
operational efficiencies.
In the first nine months of 2008, we paid $62.1 million in connection with the repurchase of
approximately 1.7 million shares of our common stock under the ASR agreement. This transaction was
reflected in financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Capital Resources
Our primary U.S. operating subsidiaries have a senior secured revolving credit facility with a
group of banks, which matures on April 21, 2011. We have not borrowed against this facility. The
facility is collateralized by our receivables, inventories, intellectual property, insurance
receivables and all other personal property assets (other than fixed assets), and by pledges of 65%
of the capital stock of our direct foreign subsidiaries and 100% of the capital stock of our direct
and indirect U.S. subsidiaries. The facility contains covenants and restrictions that are
customary for an asset-based loan, including limitations on dividends, limitations on incurrence of
indebtedness and maintenance of a fixed charge coverage financial ratio. Certain of the covenants and restrictions apply only if
availability under the facility falls below certain levels.
28
The maximum initial amount available for borrowings under the facility is $75 million. Under
certain conditions, the borrowers may request that the facility be increased by up to $25 million,
to $100 million in total. Actual borrowing availability at any date is determined by reference to
a borrowing base of specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is
reduced by usage of the facility, which includes outstanding letters of credit, and any reserves.
We issued $172.5 million of convertible debentures in 2005. The debentures bear interest at
an annual rate of 3.9375%, and we pay accrued interest on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The debentures will mature on October 15, 2015. The debentures are direct, unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations and rank equal in priority with our unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. They
effectively rank junior to our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets
securing such indebtedness. The debentures do not contain any financial covenants. Holders may
convert the debentures into cash and shares of our common stock, if any, at an initial conversion
rate of 29.5972 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (which is equal to
an initial conversion price of $33.79 per share), subject to adjustment, before the close of
business on October 15, 2015. Upon conversion, we would deliver (i) cash equal to the lesser of
the aggregate principal amount of the debentures to be converted or our total conversion
obligation, and (ii) shares of our common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of our
conversion obligation. Conversion is permitted only under certain circumstances that had not
occurred at September 30, 2008.
We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the debentures to enter into call
options (hedge and warrant transactions), which entitle us to purchase shares of our stock from a
financial institution at $33.79 per share and entitle the financial institution to purchase shares
of our stock from us at $46.78 per share. This will reduce potential dilution to our common
stockholders from conversion of the debentures and have the effect to us of increasing the
conversion price of the debentures to $46.78 per share.
The $3.1 million of 71/2% Coltec Senior Notes were paid in the second quarter of 2008.
Industrial revenue bonds, in the amount of $9.6 million at September 30, 2008, are payable in full
in the first quarter of 2009. The industrial revenue bonds bear interest at rates ranging from
6.4% to 6.55%.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Please refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007,
for a complete list of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference, for
a description of new accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and the
expected effects on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, if any.
29
Contingencies
General
Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings with respect to commercial, product
liability and environmental matters, all arising in the ordinary course of business, are pending or
threatened against us or our subsidiaries and seek monetary damages and/or other remedies. We
believe that any liability that may finally be determined with respect to commercial and
non-asbestos product liability claims should not have a material effect on our consolidated
financial condition or results of operations. From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are also
involved as plaintiffs in legal proceedings involving contract, patent protection, environmental,
insurance and other matters.
Environmental
Our facilities and operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental and
occupational health and safety requirements of the U.S. and foreign countries. We take a proactive
approach in our efforts to comply in all material respects with environmental, health and safety
laws as they relate to our manufacturing operations and in proposing and implementing any remedial
plans that may be necessary. We also regularly conduct comprehensive environmental, health and
safety audits at our facilities to maintain compliance and improve operational efficiency.
Although we believe past operations were in substantial compliance with the then applicable
regulations, we or one of our subsidiaries have been named as a potentially responsible party, or
are otherwise involved, at 20 sites where the costs to us are expected to exceed $100,000.
Investigations have been completed for 15 sites and are in progress at the other five sites. The
majority of these remediation projects involve former operating facilities that were sold or closed
and primarily deal with remediation of soil and groundwater contamination.
As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, EnPro had accrued liabilities of $23.3 million
and $27.7 million, respectively, for estimated future expenditures relating to environmental
contingencies. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding our environmental contingencies.
Colt Firearms and Central Moloney
We have contingent liabilities related to divested businesses for which certain of our
subsidiaries retained liability or are obligated under indemnity agreements. These contingent
liabilities include, but are not limited to, potential product liability and associated claims
related to Coltec Industries Incs (Coltec), one of our subsidiaries, former Colt Firearms
subsidiary for firearms manufactured prior to its divestiture in 1990 and Coltecs former Central
Moloney subsidiary for electrical transformers manufactured prior to its divestiture in 1994. No
product liability claims are currently pending against Coltec related to Colt Firearms or Central
Moloney. Coltec also has ongoing obligations, which are included in retained liabilities of
previously owned businesses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, with regard to workers
compensation, retiree medical and other retiree benefit matters that relate to Coltecs periods of
ownership of these operations.
Crucible Materials Corporation
Crucible Materials Corporation (Crucible), which is engaged primarily in the manufacture and
distribution of high technology specialty metal products, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Coltec
until 1985 when a majority of the outstanding shares were sold. Coltec divested its remaining
minority interest in 2004. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about certain
liabilities relating to Coltecs ownership of Crucible.
30
Debt and Capital Lease Guarantees
As of September 30, 2008, we had contingent liabilities for potential payments on guarantees
of certain debt and lease obligations totaling $6.2 million. These guarantees arose from the
divestiture of Crucible and Central Moloney, and expire at various dates through 2010. There is no
liability for these guarantees reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the event that the
other parties do not fulfill their obligations under the debt or lease agreements, we could be
responsible for these obligations.
Asbestos
History. Certain of our subsidiaries, primarily Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC
(Garlock) and The Anchor Packing Company (Anchor), are among a large number of defendants in
actions filed in various states by plaintiffs alleging injury or death as a result of exposure to
asbestos fibers. Among the products at issue in these actions are industrial sealing products,
including gaskets and packing products. Since the first asbestos-related lawsuits were filed
against Garlock in 1975, Garlock and Anchor have processed more than 900,000 asbestos claims to
conclusion (including judgments, settlements and dismissals) and, together with their insurers,
have paid more than $1.3 billion in settlements and judgments and over $400 million in fees and
expenses. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by
reference, for information on the disease mix in the claims, new claims recently filed, product
defenses asserted by our subsidiaries, recent trial and appeal results, and settlements.
Status of Anchor. Anchor is an inactive and insolvent indirect subsidiary of Coltec.
There is no remaining insurance coverage available to Anchor. Anchor has no remaining assets and
has not committed to settle any actions since 1998. As cases reach the trial stage, Anchor is
typically dismissed without payment.
Insurance Coverage. At September 30, 2008, Garlock had available $323.3 million of
solvent insurance and trust coverage that we believe will be available to cover future asbestos
claims and certain expense payments. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information about the quality of Garlocks solvent insurance, additional insurance
classified as insolvent, arrangements for payments with certain insurers, the resolution of past
insurance disputes, and coverage exclusions for exposure after July 1, 1984.
Our Liability Estimate. Prior to mid-2004, we maintained that our subsidiaries
liability for unasserted claims was not reasonably estimable. We estimated and recorded
liabilities only for pending claims in advanced stages of processing, for which we believed we had
a basis for making a reasonable estimate. We disclosed the significance of the total potential
liability for unasserted claims in considerable detail. During 2004 we authorized counsel to
retain Bates White to assist in estimating our subsidiaries liability for pending and future
asbestos claims.
Bates Whites first report, dated February 17, 2005, provided an estimate of the liability as
of December 31, 2004 for the following ten years, which represented a time horizon within which
Bates White believed such liability was both probable and estimable within a range of values.
Bates White has updated its estimate every quarter since the end of 2004. Each quarter until the
fourth quarter of 2006, we adopted the Bates White estimate and adjusted the liability to equal the
low end of the then-current range.
31
We have independently developed internal estimates for asbestos-related liabilities. We have
used those estimates for a variety of purposes, including guidance for settlement negotiations and
trial strategy, in our strategic planning, budgeting and cash flow planning processes, and in
setting targets for annual and long-term incentive compensation. Our internal estimate has been
within the Bates White range of equally likely estimates and has proven to be a more precise
predictor of the actual amounts spent on settlements and verdicts than the low end of the Bates
White range. As a result, while the low end of the Bates White range still provides a reasonable
lower boundary of possible outcomes, Bates White and management believe that our internal estimate
for the next ten years represents the most likely point within the range. Accordingly, we adjusted
the recorded liability from the low end of the Bates White estimate to our point estimate in the
fourth quarter of 2006 and have adjusted the liability in each subsequent quarter consistent with
our internal estimate.
We currently estimate that the liability of our subsidiaries for the indemnity cost of
resolving asbestos claims for the next ten years will be $476.1 million. The estimated liability
of $476.1 million is before any tax benefit and is not discounted to present value, and it does not
include fees and expenses, which are recorded as incurred. The recorded liability will continue to
be impacted by actual claims and settlement experience and any change in the legal environment that
could cause a significant increase or decrease in the long-term expectations of management and
Bates White. We expect the recorded liability to fluctuate, perhaps significantly. Any
significant change in the estimated liability could have a material effect on our consolidated
financial position and results of operations.
The estimated range of potential liabilities provided by Bates White at September 30, 2008,
was $414 million to $595 million. Our estimate is within the Bates White range, developed
independently. We believe that our estimate is the best estimate within the Bates White range of
reasonable and probable estimates of Garlocks future obligation, but we note that Bates White also
indicated a broader range of potential estimates from $181 million to $674 million. We caution
that points within or outside that broader range remain possible outcomes. Also, while we agree
with Bates White that beyond two to four years for Garlocks economically-driven non-malignant
claims and beyond ten years for Garlocks cancer claims and medically-driven non-malignant claims,
there are reasonable scenarios in which the [asbestos] expenditure is de minimus, we caution that
the process of estimating future liabilities is highly uncertain. In the words of the Bates White
report, the reliability of estimates of future probable expenditures of Garlock for
asbestos-related personal injury claims declines significantly for each year further into the
future. Scenarios continue to exist that could result in a total future asbestos liability for
pending and future claims for Garlock in excess of $1 billion.
As previously mentioned, the liability estimate does not include legal fees and expenses,
which add considerably to the costs each year. Over the last two years, these expenses have
averaged approximately $6 million per quarter. In addition to these legal fees and expenses, we
expect to continue to record charges or credits to income in future quarters for:
|
|
|
Increases or decreases, if any, in our estimate of Garlocks potential liability,
plus |
|
|
|
|
Increases, if any, that result from additional quarters added to maintain the
ten-year estimation period (increases of this type have averaged approximately $6
million to $7 million per quarter for the last two years), plus |
|
|
|
|
Amounts, if any, of solvent insurance lost or commuted, offset by insolvent
recoveries and earnings from insurance settlement trusts. |
In the third quarter of 2008, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $13.0 million to reflect net
cash outlays of $6.2 million for fees and expenses paid during the quarter and a $6.8 million
non-cash charge primarily to add an estimate of the liability for the third quarter of 2018 to
maintain a ten year estimate. In the third quarter of 2007, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $11.5
million to reflect cash outlays of $5.9
32
million for fees and expenses incurred during the quarter and a $5.6 million non-cash charge
primarily to add an estimate for the third quarter of 2017 to maintain a ten year estimate. For
the first nine months of 2008, we recorded pre-tax charges of $37.3 million to reflect net cash
outlays of $18.6 million for fees and expenses and $18.7 million of non-cash charges primarily to
add an estimate of the liability for the first nine months of 2018. In the first nine months of
2007, we recorded pre-tax charges to income of $37.5 million to reflect net cash outlays of $19.6
million for legal fees and expenses and $17.9 million of non-cash charges primarily to add an
estimate of the liability for the first nine months of 2017.
See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our
liability estimate.
Quantitative Claims and Insurance Information. Our liability as of September 30,
2008, was $483.4 million (our estimate of the liability described above of $476.1 million plus $7.3
million of accrued legal and other fees already incurred but not yet paid). The liability included
$88.5 million classified as a current liability and $394.9 million classified as a noncurrent
liability. The recorded amounts do not include legal fees and expenses to be incurred in the
future. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about
pending cases, insurance, cash flows and our liability.
Strategy. Garlocks strategy is to focus on trial-listed cases and other cases in
advanced stages, to reduce new settlement commitments each year, to carefully manage and maximize
insurance collections, and to proactively support legislative and other efforts aimed at meaningful
asbestos reform. We believe that this strategy should result in the reduction of the negative
annual cash flow impact from asbestos claims over time. However, the risk of large verdicts
sometimes impacts the implementation of the strategy, and therefore it is likely that, from time to
time, Garlock will enter into settlements that involve large numbers of cases, including
early-stage cases, when it believes that the risk outweighs the benefits of the strategy. We
believe that, as predicted in various epidemiological studies that are publicly available, the
incidence of asbestos-related disease is in decline and should continue to decline steadily over
the next decade and thereafter, so that claims activity against Garlock will eventually decline to
a level that can be paid from the cash flow expected from Garlocks operations, even after Garlock
exhausts its insurance coverage. However, there can be no assurance that epidemiological
predictions about incidence of asbestos-related disease will prove to be accurate, or that, even if
they are, there will be a commensurate decline in the number of asbestos-related claims filings.
Considering the foregoing, as well as the experience of our subsidiaries and other defendants
in asbestos litigation, the likely sharing of judgments among multiple responsible defendants,
bankruptcies of other defendants, and legislative efforts, and given the amount of insurance
coverage available to our subsidiaries from solvent insurance carriers, we believe that pending
asbestos actions against our subsidiaries are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, but could be material to our results of operations or cash flows in given
future periods. We anticipate that asbestos claims will continue to be filed against our
subsidiaries. Because of (1) the uncertainty as to the number and timing of potential future
claims and the amount that will have to be paid to litigate, settle or satisfy claims, and (2) the
finite amount of insurance available for future payments, future claims could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Reform Legislation. While reform measures have been adopted in several states and are
likely to be considered from time-to-time on a state-by-state basis in a number of other
jurisdictions, the outlook for federal legislation to provide national asbestos litigation reform
continues to be uncertain. While reform legislation ultimately may be adopted by the U.S.
Congress, it appears unlikely that any federal asbestos legislation will be enacted in the
foreseeable future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations, including
risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates that could impact our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these and
other market risks through regular operating and financing activities and through the use of
derivative financial instruments. We intend to use derivative financial instruments as risk
management tools and not for speculative investment purposes. For information about our interest
rate risk, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Interest Rate Risk in
our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the following section.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These
risks include the translation of local currency balances of our foreign subsidiaries, intercompany
loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our objective
is to control our exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities and, where
appropriate, through foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts. The following table
provides information about our outstanding foreign currency forward and option contracts as of
September 30, 2008:

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The
purpose of our disclosure controls and procedures is to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, including this

such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosure.
Based on the controls evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to reasonably ensure that
information
34
required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that management will be timely
alerted to material information required to be included in our periodic reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting has occurred during
the quarter ended September 30, 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

A total of 1,296 shares were transferred to a rabbi trust that we established in connection
with our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, pursuant to which non-employee
directors may elect to defer directors fees into common stock units. Coltec, which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of EnPro, furnished these shares in exchange for management and other
services provided by EnPro. These shares were valued at a price of $36.18 per share, the
average of the high and low prices of our common stock on September 30, 2008. We do not
consider the transfer of shares from Coltec in this context to be pursuant to a publicly
announced plan or program. |

|
On March 3, 2008, pursuant to a $100 million share repurchase authorization approved by our
board of directors, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a
financial institution to provide for the immediate retirement of approximately $50 million of
our common stock. Under the ASR agreement, we purchased 1,693,193 shares of our common stock |
36
|
|
|
|
|
in March 2008 at an aggregate price of approximately $50.2 million, including commissions
and other fees. The price adjustment period under the ASR terminated on August 29, 2008.
In connection with the finalization of the ASR, we remitted in cash a final settlement
adjustment of $11.9 million to the financial institution that executed the ASR. The final
settlement adjustment, recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, was based on
the average of the reported daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock during
the term of the ASR. It resulted in a remittance to the financial institution because the
volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the term of the ASR exceeded the
initial price of $29.53 per share. After the final settlement adjustment, we had completed
$62 million of the share repurchase authorization. Pursuant to the share repurchase
authorization and in accordance with the terms of a 10b5-1 plan announced on September 8,
2008, we acquired 252,400 shares of our common stock in open-market transactions at an
average price of about $28.00 per share, resulting in total repurchases of approximately
$7.1 million from October 1, 2008 to October 29, 2008. On October 29, 2008, in light of the
volatility in the financial and credit markets, the board of directors terminated the 10b5-1
plan. |
