ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Overview and Basis of Presentation
Overview
EnPro Industries, Inc. (EnPro or the Company) is a leader in the design, development,
manufacturing and marketing of 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, 2006, 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, 2006.
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 2006 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the current year presentation.
2. Acquisitions
In July 2007, the Company acquired Compressor Products International Limited, a privately-held
manufacturer of critical sealing components for reciprocating compressors, gas engines and related
equipment. The acquisition was paid for in cash and is included in the Companys Engineered
Products segment.
In June 2007, the Company acquired Texflo Machining Ltd., a privately-held company that
services and repairs reciprocating compressors, primarily for the natural gas market in western
Canada. The acquisition was paid for in cash and is included in the Companys Engineered Products
segment.
The purchase price allocation of these acquired businesses is subject to the completion of the
valuation of certain assets and liabilities.

As discussed further in Note 8, the Company has issued Convertible Senior Debentures (the
Debentures). Under the terms of the Debentures, the Company would settle the par amount of its
obligations in cash and the remaining obligations, if any, in common shares. In accordance with
the current applicable accounting guidelines, the Company includes the conversion option effect in
diluted earnings per share during such periods when the Companys stock price exceeds the
conversion price of $33.79 per share.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2006, there was a loss attributable to common shares.
Potentially dilutive share-based awards of 0.7 million shares were excluded from the calculation of
diluted earnings per share as they were antidilutive.
5. Income Taxes
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
on January 1, 2007. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $0.1 million decrease in liabilities for
unrecognized tax benefits with a corresponding reduction in the accumulated deficit. At January 1,
2007, the Company had recorded a liability of approximately $21.8 million for unrecognized tax
benefits of which $4.9 million, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company
records interest and
5
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At January 1, 2007, the
Company had accrued $1.1 million for the potential payment of interest. At September 30, 2007, the
Company had a $17.0 million liability recorded for unrecognized tax benefits, which includes
interest of $1.9 million. The total amount of unrecognized benefits that, if recognized, would
have affected the effective tax rate was $5.7 million.
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 federal, state and local, and
foreign income tax returns for the years 2003 through 2006 are open to examination. The U.S.
federal income tax returns for 2003 to 2005 and various foreign and state tax returns are currently
under examination. 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 and are subject to
the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, was $5.6 million
and $4.3 million, respectively. The Company has trademarks with indefinite lives valued at
approximately $16 million that are not being amortized as of September 30, 2007, and December 31,
2006, and that are included in the table above.
Goodwill and the identifiable intangible assets are subject to the completion of the valuation
of certain assets and liabilities for the acquisitions described in Note 2 to these Consolidated
Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2007, the $39.1 million estimate for identifiable
intangible assets for the acquisitions was included above in trademarks and other identifiable
intangible assets.
8. Long-Term Debt
In 2005, the Company issued $172.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Debentures that
may be converted only under certain circumstances. The conditions that permit conversion were not
satisfied at September 30, 2007. In the event the conversion conditions become satisfied, the
Company will be required to immediately expense all unamortized debt issue costs, which amounted to
$4.7 million at September 30, 2007, and reclassify the aggregate principal amount from long-term to
current.
9. Pensions and Postretirement Benefits
The components of net periodic benefit cost for the Companys U.S. and foreign defined benefit
pension and other postretirement plans for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2007

The Company implemented amendments to the U.S. salaried defined benefit pension plan effective
January 1, 2007, that resulted in the reduction of the pension benefit service cost.
In 2007 and 2006, the Company made discretionary contributions of $10.0 million in each year
to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The Company expects to make total contributions of
approximately $1.2 million in 2007 to its foreign pension plans.
10. 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 policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the
Company.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
General
Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of
business with respect to commercial, product liability, asbestos and environmental matters, are
pending or threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries and seek monetary damages and/or
other remedies. 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.
9
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 with all 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 19 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 four sites. The majority of these sites relate to remediation
projects at 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 the factors discussed above. 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, 2007 and December
31, 2006, EnPro had accrued liabilities of $27.4 million and $33.2 million, respectively, for
estimated future expenditures relating to environmental contingencies. Of the September 30, 2007
amount, $10.1 million represents the Companys share of liability as a potentially responsible
party at a former industrial property located in Farmingdale, New York. The amounts recorded in
the Consolidated Financial Statements have been recorded on an undiscounted basis.
The Company believes that its accrued 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.
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
10
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
until 1985 when a majority of the outstanding shares were sold. Coltec sold 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, another actuarial report was completed in 2005 and a third 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 $20.7 million each at
September 30, 2007. 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 next valuation date. Until such time as a payment is required or the remaining
excess Back-Up Trust assets revert to the Company, the Back-Up Trust assets and liability will be
kept equal to each other on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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.
Debt and Capital Lease Guarantees
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had contingent liabilities for potential payments on
guarantees of certain debt and lease obligations totaling $10.0 million. These guarantees arose
from the divestitures of Crucible, Central Moloney and Haber Tool, 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
11
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, 2007 and 2006, 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 approximately
900,000 asbestos claims to conclusion (including judgments, settlements and dismissals) and,
together with their insurers, have paid approximately $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 6% have been claims of plaintiffs with lung or
other cancers, and more than 90% have been claims of plaintiffs alleging asbestosis, pleural
plaques or other non-malignant impairment of the respiratory system. Of the 106,500 open cases at
September 30, 2007, the Company is aware of approximately 9,400 (9%) that involve claimants
alleging mesothelioma, lung cancer or some other cancer.
New Filings. The number of new actions filed against the Companys subsidiaries in
2006 (7,700) was significantly lower than the number filed in 2005 (15,300) and 2004 (17,400). The
number of new actions filed against our 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. This trend
has continued in the first nine months of 2007 (4,300 new filings as compared to 6,100 in the first
nine months of 2006). Possible 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 other states,
including 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
decline in new filings has been principally in non-malignant claims; however, new filings of claims
alleging mesothelioma, lung and other cancers, while relatively equal for the 2003, 2004 and 2005
years, declined in 2006 and the first nine months of 2007. Because the nature of the diseases or
conditions alleged remains unknown in a number of the claims filed in 2006 and thus far in 2007,
the extent of the decline in new malignant disease claims cannot be determined.
12
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, winning defense verdicts
in 12 of the 24 cases tried to verdict in the years 2004 through 2007, including the one case tried
to verdict thus far in 2007 and three of the four cases tried to verdict in 2006. 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 2007, Garlock began seven
trials. A Massachusetts jury returned a defense verdict in favor of Garlock. Four lawsuits in
Pennsylvania, one in Maryland and another in Washington settled during trial before the juries had
reached a verdict. 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. Garlock has also appealed the new
verdict. In addition, Garlock 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.
During 2005, Garlock began thirteen trials. Six of these lawsuits settled during the trials.
In a mesothelioma case in Texas, the jury returned a defense verdict in Garlocks favor just after
settlement was reached. An Illinois jury and a Washington jury also each returned defense verdicts
for Garlock. A Los Angeles jury returned an award to a living mesothelioma claimant, but Garlock
was able to settle the claim as part of a large group settlement prior to the entry of judgment. A
Baltimore jury returned a verdict of $10.4 million against Garlock and two other defendants in a
mesothelioma case. Garlocks one-third share was approximately $3.5 million. A Dallas jury
returned a verdict of $260,000 in another mesothelioma case. Garlocks share was approximately
$10,000, 4% of the total verdict. An Illinois jury in an asbestosis case returned a verdict
against Garlock of $225,000, all of which was offset by settlements with other defendants. The
final 2005 trial was the Kentucky case described in the previous paragraph, which resulted in a
verdict that was later overturned and subsequently retried in 2006.
Appeals. Garlock has historically enjoyed success 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 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 the 2005
Baltimore verdict described above,
13
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. 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. At September 30, 2007, two Garlock appeals were pending from
adverse verdicts totaling $1.2 million, down from $6 million at December 31, 2006, and more than
$41 million at December 31, 2005.
In some cases, appeals require the provision of security in the form of appeal bonds,
potentially in amounts greater than the verdicts. The Company is 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, 2007, the Company
had $1.1 million of cash collateral relating to appeal bonds recorded as restricted cash 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 to match insurance
recoveries. As a result, Garlock reduced new settlement commitments from $180 million in 2000 to
$94 million in 2001, $86 million in 2002, $86 million in 2003, $84 million in 2004, $79 million in
2005 and $84 million in 2006. Approximately $15 million of the 2006 amount was committed in
settlements in 2006 to pay verdicts that had been rendered in the years 2003 2005. New
settlement commitments in the first nine months of 2007 totaled $64 million, compared to $59
million in the first nine months of 2006.
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 evidence that the claimant worked
with or around Garlock asbestos-containing products is required. The claimant is also required to
sign a full and 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, 2007, Garlock had available $393 million of
insurance and trust coverage that the Company believes will be available to cover future asbestos
claim and certain expense payments. In addition, at September 30, 2007, Garlock had $56 million of
otherwise available insurance that the Company classifies as insolvent. The Company believes that
Garlock will recover
14
some of the insolvent insurance over time. Garlock has collected approximately $1 million
from insolvent carriers in the first nine months of 2007, bringing total collections from insolvent
carriers from 2002 through 2007 to approximately $39.3 million. There can be no assurance that
Garlock will collect any of the remaining insolvent insurance.
Of the $393 million of collectible insurance and trust assets, the Company considers $343
million (87%) to be 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) in the form of cash or liquid investments held in
insurance trusts resulting from commutation agreements. The Company considers $50 million (13%) 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 ($44 million) or (b) with various London market
carriers ($6 million). Of the $393 million, $247 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. Amounts paid by Garlock in excess of insurance
recoveries that would be recoverable from insurance if there was no limit may be collected from the
insurance companies in subsequent years, so long as insurance is available, subject to the limits
in subsequent years.
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 the matter.
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 during the first nine months of 2007.
In May 2006, the Company reached agreement with a U.S. insurer that resolved two lawsuits and
an arbitration proceeding. Pursuant to the settlement, Garlock received $4 million in December
2006 and will receive another $17 million in the future. As part of the agreement, Garlock agreed
to forgo $19 million of nominal insurance.
During the first quarter of 2005, the Company reached agreement with two of Garlocks U.S.
insurers. The insurers agreed to pay Garlock a total of $21 million in three equal bi-annual
payments of $7 million. The first and second payments were received in May 2005 and April 2007,
respectively; the third payment is due in May 2009. The payments are guaranteed by the parent
company of the settling insurers.
In the second quarter of 2004, the Company reached agreement with Equitas, the London-based
entity responsible for the pre-1993 Lloyds of London policies in the Companys insurance block,
concerning settlement of its exposure to the Companys subsidiaries asbestos claims. As a result
of the settlement, $88 million was placed in an independent trust. In the fourth quarter of 2004,
the Company reached agreement with a group of London market carriers (other than Equitas) and one
of its U.S. carriers that has some policies reinsured through the London market. As a result of
the settlement, $55.5 million was placed in an independent trust. At September 30, 2007, the
market value of the funds remaining in the two trusts was $44.0 million, which was included in the
$393 million of insurance and trust coverage available to pay future asbestos-related claims and
expenses.
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
15
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 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 a recognized expert to assist in
estimating the Companys subsidiaries liability for pending and future asbestos claims. After
interviewing and qualifying several recognized experts with the Company, counsel selected Bates
White, LLC.
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 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). The recording of such increased asbestos liability resulted in the Company also
recording an increase to its insurance receivable.
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, 2007, was $293 million to $656
million. According to Bates White, increases in the 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 in 2006 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 provides a reasonable lower boundary of possible outcomes, Bates White and
management believe that the Companys internal estimate for the
16
next ten years represents the most likely point within the range. 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 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 $511 million, which is a point in the
upper half of the Bates White range. The estimated liability of $511 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 its 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 full allocation of the Companys remaining solvent insurance and
the Companys adjusting the liability estimate to a point within the Bates White range have not
altered the Companys strategy for managing the potential asbestos liabilities and insurance assets
of its subsidiaries.
Although the Company believes that its estimate is the best estimate within the Bates White
range of reasonable and probable estimates of Garlocks future obligation, it notes that Bates
White also indicated a broader range of potential estimates from $214 million to $739 million. The
Company cautions that points within that broader range remain possible outcomes. Also, while the
Company agrees with its expert 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 obligation 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 $7.6 million per quarter. In addition to these legal fees and expenses, the Company
expects to continue to record charges to income in future quarters for:
|
|
|
Increases, 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 $7 8
million per quarter for the last eight quarters), plus |
|
|
|
|
Amounts, if any, of solvent insurance lost or commuted, offset by insolvent
recoveries and earnings from insurance settlement trusts. |
17
During the third quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge to income of $11.5
million to reflect net cash outlays of $5.9 million for legal fees and expenses incurred during the
quarter, and a $5.6 million non-cash charge primarily to add an estimate of the liability for the
third quarter of 2017 to maintain a ten-year estimate. For the first nine months of 2007, the
Company has recorded pre-tax charges to income of $37.5 to reflect net cash outlays of $19.6
million of legal fees and expenses and a $17.9 million non-cash charge primarily to add an estimate
of the liability for the first nine months of 2017.
Quantitative Claims and Insurance Information. The Companys total liability at
September 30, 2007 was $516.7 million (the Companys estimate of the liability described above of
$510.5 million plus $6.2 million of accrued legal and other fees already incurred but not yet
paid). This amount includes $94.9 million for advanced-stage cases, settled claims and accrued
legal and other fees, and $421.8 million for early-stage and unasserted claims. The recorded
amounts do not include legal fees and expenses to be incurred in the future. The recorded amounts
include $86.4 million classified in current liabilities and $430.3 million classified in
non-current liabilities.
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had remaining solvent insurance and trust coverage of
$393.4 million which is reflected on its balance sheet as a receivable ($64.8 million classified in
current assets and $328.6 million classified in non-current assets) and which it believes will be
available for the payment of asbestos-related claims. Included in the receivable is $246.6 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 Companys insurance policies and have been
billed to the insurance carriers. The remaining $146.8 million will be available for pending and

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, 2006.
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 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, 2006,
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; |
19
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
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 are a leader in the design, development, manufacturing and marketing of
proprietary engineered industrial products. We have 33 primary manufacturing facilities located in
the United States and 11 countries outside the United States.
We focus on four management initiatives: improving operational efficiencies through our Total
Customer Value, or TCV, lean enterprise program; expanding our product offerings and customer base
through our EnNovation initiative and new operations in new geographic markets; strengthening the
mix of our business by strategic acquisitions and divestitures; and managing the asbestos claims
against our subsidiaries to minimize the impact on cash flows and enhance our liquidity. We
believe these strategic initiatives will increase our organic sales growth, improve our gross
profit margins, reduce manufacturing, selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenue
over time, increase our income from continuing operations, and provide the cash required to sustain
and grow the Company.
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 solid polymer bearings,
aluminum blocks for hydraulic applications, rotary and reciprocating air compressors, vacuum pumps,
air systems
20
and reciprocating 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.
On July 31, 2007, we acquired Compressor Products International Ltd. and combined these
operations with our existing France Compressor Products operations. Since May 2006, we completed
four smaller acquisitions for France Compressor Products that included Allwest Compressor Services,
Southwest Compressor Services, H.A.R. Compressor Products and Texflo Machining Ltd. This
combination of companies creates the worlds leading manufacturer of reciprocating
compressor sealing components and one of the worlds largest producers of reciprocating compressor
valves. To more accurately reflect the combined companys products, international presence and
objectives for growth, we will conduct business under the Compressor Products International brand
name. We will refer to these operations as Compressor Products International, or CPI, from this
time forward. The newly constituted Compressor Products International is included in the
engineered products segment as were France Compressor Products and the other smaller acquired
companies.
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 general market for marine propulsion, power generation, and pump and compressor applications
use these products and services.
As described elsewhere in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations, we actively manage the asbestos claims against our subsidiaries and have a
sizeable amount of insurance remaining for the payment of these claims. We accrue an estimated
liability for both pending and future asbestos claims. For additional information on this subject,
see Contingencies-Asbestos.
Outlook. We expect sales to increase in 2007 compared to 2006, mainly due to: higher
volumes associated with market growth in certain key markets; the additional sales associated with
the acquisitions completed in 2006 and 2007; the strength of currencies used by our international
operations versus the U.S. dollar; and selected price increases. Higher sales volume, productivity
and cost improvements associated with our TCV lean manufacturing program, reduced pension expenses
in connection with changes to our U.S. salaried defined benefit plan, and price increases are
expected to result in improved operating margins and increased operating profits in 2007.
We anticipate that cash flows in 2007 will benefit from improved operating income and lower
net asbestos payments. Capital spending in 2007 is expected to be higher than 2006 levels as a
result of continued investments to improve operational efficiency, our focus on low cost
manufacturing operations and geographic expansion, and the modernization project at our Garlock
Sealing Technologies facilities in Palmyra, New York. In addition, we have invested in
acquisitions to grow and strengthen the mix of our businesses. As a result, we expect to
experience a reduction of our cash balance compared to the beginning of 2007.
As part of our operating strategy to strengthen our mix of businesses, we will continue to
evaluate strategic acquisitions and divestitures; however, the future impact of such acquisitions
or divestitures cannot be predicted and therefore is not reflected in this outlook.

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 2007 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2006
Sales of $252.7 million in the third quarter of 2007 increased 11% from $228.6 million in the
comparable quarter of 2006. The increase in the value of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar and
the addition of the acquisitions completed in 2007 added approximately six percentage points to
revenue on a year-over-year basis. The five percentage points of organic growth was the result of
stronger demand in the U.S. and European markets for Garlock Sealing Technologies, higher shipments
at GGBs European operations, continued strong demand in the energy-related markets of Compressor
Products International, increased parts shipments at Fairbanks Morse Engine, and selected price
increases at several businesses. These favorable variances were partially offset by lower OEM and
aftermarket volumes in Stemcos heavy duty truck market, a drop in demand for Plastomer
Technologies products in the semiconductor and industrial markets, and a decrease in shipments at
Quincy Compressor for key markets such as energy, industrial and contractors.
Segment profit, managements primary measure of how our operations perform, increased 30% from
$31.1 million in the third quarter of 2006 to $40.4 million in 2007. Segment profit was primarily
impacted by selected price increases and higher volumes, a contract loss provision for Fairbanks
Morse Engine in 2006 that did not recur this year, a reduction in U.S. defined benefit pension
expense, contributions from the acquisitions, and the favorable foreign exchange rates. The
defined benefit pension expense declined due to improved returns on pension assets and lower
service-related costs as a
22
result of amendments to our U.S. salaried defined benefit plan implemented in the first quarter of
2007. Segment margins, defined as segment profit divided by sales, increased from 13.6% in 2006 to
16.0% in 2007.
Asbestos expenses in the third quarter of 2007 were $11.5 million and included net cash
outlays of $5.9 million of legal fees and expenses incurred during the quarter and a $5.6 million
non-cash charge primarily to add an additional quarter in order to maintain a ten-year liability
estimate for future claims. In the comparable quarter of 2006, asbestos expenses were $28.7
million. For a further discussion of asbestos expenses, see Contingencies Asbestos.
Net interest expense in the third quarter of 2007 was $0.1 million compared to $0.9 million in
the same quarter last year. The decrease was a result of more interest income earned on higher
cash balances.
Our effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2007 was 38.5% compared to 36.5% in the same
quarter of 2006. The increase in the rate for the third quarter of 2007 increased the effective
tax rate to 37.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
Net income was $12.3 million, or $0.54 per share, in the third quarter of 2007 compared to a
loss of $4.3 million, or $0.20 per share, in the same quarter of 2006. 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 $112.6 million in the third quarter of 2007 were 5% higher
than the $107.3 million reported in the same quarter of 2006. The favorable impact of the euro
accounted for three percentage points of the growth. Sales at Garlock Sealing Technologies were
favorably impacted by increased demand in its European markets, continued strength in the oil and
gas sectors, selected price increases and a stronger euro. Aftermarket and OEM sales decreased at
Stemco due to cyclical lower demand in the U.S. heavy-duty truck market as the number of new trucks
and trailers built was down as was the usage of existing trucks. A decline in demand from
Plastomer Technologies semiconductor market resulted in a year-over-year decrease in its sales.
Segment profit increased by 15% from $17.9 million in the third quarter of 2006 to $20.5
million in 2007. Profits at Garlock Sealing Technologies benefited from higher volumes and
selected price increases. Stemco reported a decline in profit in connection with its sales
decrease, but the profit decline was mitigated by price increases and because the sales decline was
primarily in the lower margin OEM market. Garlock Rubber Technologies turned to a profit this year
from a loss last year due to lower manufacturing expenses primarily in connection with cost
reduction activities and lower warranty expenses. Lower volumes negatively impacted Plastomer
Technologies results, as did increased restructuring expenses for the reorganization of the
Plastomer Technologies facilities. Operating margins for the segment increased from 16.7% in 2006
to 18.2% in 2007.
Engineered Products. Sales of $111.5 million in the third quarter of 2007 were 15%
higher than the $97.2 million reported in 2006. The year-over-year increase in the value of the
euro and the acquisitions completed this year favorably impacted revenue by eleven percentage
points when compared to 2006. Sales for Compressor Products International were higher in 2007 due
to the additional volume from the acquisitions completed in 2007 and increased activity in the
North American and European markets. In 2007, GGB benefited nearly equally from favorable foreign
currency exchange rates, increased volume in Europe and selected price increases. Quincy
Compressors sales were lower than its 2006 record levels as demand in several key markets and
across nearly all product lines declined on a year-over-year basis.
23
Segment profits were $17.3 million in the third quarter of 2007, or 15% higher than the $15.0
million reported in the same quarter of 2006. GGBs profits increased in 2007, when compared to
2006, due to increased volumes, selected price increases, cost reduction initiatives and a stronger
euro. Profits at Compressor Products International improved as a result of higher sales volume,
selected price increases, and the acquisitions. However, amortization of intangible assets
associated with the acquisitions resulted in increased expenses and lower operating margins at CPI.
Despite the decline in revenue, Quincy Compressor was essentially able to maintain its
profitability as a result of price increases and cost reductions. Operating margins for the
segment were flat at 15.5% in 2007 and 15.4% in 2006.
Engine Products and Services. Sales increased 19% from the $24.2 million reported in
the third quarter of 2006 to $28.9 million in the third quarter of 2007. The increase primarily
was attributable to additional parts shipments. Engine sales were nearly flat.
The segment reported a profit of $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared to a loss
of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2006. The year-over-year improvement was a result of $3.1
million of contract losses on a U.S. Navy engine program in 2006 that did not recur in 2007, and
the higher volume of parts shipments this year, which have better margins than engine sales.
Operating margins for the segment in 2007 were 9.0% compared to (7.4)% in 2006.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006
Sales increased 10% to $754.4 million in 2007 from $683.6 million in 2006. The year-over-year
increase in the value of the euro and the acquisitions during the past twelve months increased
revenue by five percentage points when compared to the prior year. Garlock Sealing Technologies
revenues increased in 2007 as a result of continued strength in the oil and gas market, strong
customer demand in Europe and favorable exchange rates. Plastomer Technologies revenue increased
in 2007 due to the acquisition of Amicon completed in July 2006. Compressor Products
Internationals sales were higher in 2007 due to its acquisitions in 2006 and 2007 and continued
strength in the North American and European energy-related markets. GGBs sales exceeded 2006
levels as a result of favorable market conditions in Europe, selected price increases and the
increase in the value of the euro. Fairbanks Morse Engines revenue was higher in 2007 due to more
engine shipments for U.S. Navy programs and additional demand for aftermarket parts and service.
These increases were partially offset by lower sales at Stemco as a result of a cyclical downturn
in heavy-duty truck OEM and aftermarket demand.
Segment profit increased 20% to $126.5 million in 2007 from $105.4 million in 2006. Segment
profit in 2007 benefited from higher volumes in all segments, selected price increases at several
operations, the acquisitions mentioned previously, cost reduction initiatives and a decline in our
U.S defined benefit pension plan expenses. Segment margins in 2007 were 16.8% compared to 15.4% in
2006.
Asbestos expenses in the first nine months of 2007 were $37.5 million and included net cash
outlays of $19.6 million of legal fees and expenses incurred in 2007 and a $17.9 million non-cash
charge primarily to maintain a ten-year liability estimate for future claims. In 2006, asbestos
expenses were $54.3 million for the first nine months of the year. Had our insurance been fully
allocated prior to 2006, and if we had been recording the ten-year liability based on the internal
estimate, asbestos expenses for the first nine months of 2006 would have been $62.4 million. For a
further discussion of asbestos expenses, see Contingencies Asbestos.
Net interest expense during the first nine months of 2007 was zero compared to $2.5 million in
2006. The decrease was a result of more interest income earned on higher cash balances.
24
Net income was $38.4 million, or $1.71 per share, for the first nine months of 2007 compared
to $14.7 million, or $0.68 per share, in 2006. Earnings per share are expressed on a diluted
basis.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt repayments
are funded from cash balances on hand and cash generated from operations. We have additional
capital resources available, which are discussed under the heading of Capital Resources.
Cash Flows
Operating activities generated cash in the amount of $75.0 million in the first nine months of
2007 compared to $42.5 million in the same period last year. Working capital increased by $4.7
million in 2007 compared to an increase of $17.4 million in 2006. The working capital increase in
2006 primarily was a result of an increase in inventory in the Engine Products and Services
segment. In 2007, that segments inventory declined and was the principal contributor to the
reduction in working capital usage. In addition, working capital normally builds during the first
half of the year as seasonal activity increases in many of our markets. We usually experience
decreases in working capital levels during the second half of the year. In 2007, payments for
asbestos-related claims and expenses, net of insurance recoveries, were $14.1 million, down from
$35.7 million in 2006 due to a combination of lower asbestos-related payments and higher insurance
collections. The collections included a payment in 2007 related to a settlement reached in late
2006 with a group of U.S. insurers that had previously withheld payments. Cash paid for
environmental liabilities, primarily related to previously owned businesses, which was included in
the change in other non-current assets and liabilities, increased from $1.4 million in 2006 to $5.4
million in 2007.
Investing activities used $101.5 million and $16.6 million of cash during the first nine
months of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2007 were $30.1 million compared to
$30.3 million during the same period of 2006. The capital investments in both years included
spending associated with modernization activities at our Garlock Sealing Technologies manufacturing
facility in Palmyra, New York. We also made net payments of $72.1 million and $27.3 million in
2007 and 2006, respectively, related to acquisitions. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements for a further discussion on acquisitions.
Contractual Obligations
In addition to our contractual obligations disclosed in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2006, we had a $17.0 million and $21.2 million reserve for unrecognized tax benefits
at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Substantially all of this tax reserve
is classified in other long-term liabilities and deferred income taxes in our Consolidated Balance
Sheets at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
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 secured 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
25
ratio. Certain of the covenants and restrictions apply only if availability under the facility
falls below certain levels.
The maximum initial amount available for borrowings under the facility is $75 million. Under
certain conditions, we 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 (including outstanding letters of credit) and any reserves. At
September 30, 2007, the actual borrowing availability under our senior secured revolving credit
facility was approximately $75 million.
We issued $172.5 million of convertible debentures in 2005. The debentures bear interest at
an annual rate of 3.9375%. 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, which had not
occurred as of September 30, 2007.
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.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Please refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006,
for a complete list of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Contingencies
General
Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings with respect to commercial, product
liability, asbestos 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.
26
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 with all 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 conduct comprehensive compliance and management system 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 19 sites at each of which the costs to us are expected to exceed
$100,000. Investigations have been completed for 15 sites and are in progress at the other four
sites. The majority of these sites relate to remediation projects at 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.
Our 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 the factors discussed above. 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, 2007 and December
31, 2006, EnPro had accrued liabilities of $27.4 million and $33.2 million, respectively, for
estimated future expenditures relating to environmental contingencies. Of the September 30, 2007
amount, $10.1 million represents our share of liability as a potentially responsible party at a
former industrial property located in Farmingdale, New York. The amounts recorded in the
Consolidated Financial Statements have been recorded on an undiscounted basis.
We believe that our accrued 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, we believe that maintaining
compliance with current environmental laws and government regulations will not require significant
capital expenditures or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, but could be
material to our results of operations or cash flows in a given period.
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 Coltecs 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.
27
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 sold 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 our 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,
another actuarial report was completed in 2005 and a third 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 on our Consolidated Balance Sheets in other non-current assets and in retained
liabilities of previously owned businesses, respectively, and amounted to $20.7 million each at
September 30, 2007. 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 next valuation date. Until such time as a payment is required or the remaining
excess Back-Up Trust assets revert to Coltec, the Back-Up Trust assets and liability will be kept
equal to each other on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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, in addition to those mentioned previously, that relate
to its period of ownership of this operation.
Debt and Capital Lease Guarantees
As of September 30, 2007, we had contingent liabilities for potential payments on guarantees
of certain debt and lease obligations totaling $10.0 million. These guarantees arose from the
divestiture of Crucible, Central Moloney and Haber Tool, 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. 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
28
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 approximately 900,000 asbestos claims to conclusion
(including judgments, settlements and dismissals) and, together with their insurers, have paid
approximately $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 6% have been claims of plaintiffs with lung or
other cancers, and more than 90% have been claims of plaintiffs alleging asbestosis, pleural
plaques or other non-malignant impairment of the respiratory system. Of the 106,500 open cases at
September 30, 2007, we are aware of approximately 9,400 (9%) that involve claimants alleging
mesothelioma, lung cancer or some other cancer.
New Filings. The number of new actions filed against our subsidiaries in 2006 (7,700)
was significantly lower than the number filed in 2005 (15,300) and 2004 (17,400). The number of
new actions filed against our 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. This trend has
continued in the first nine months of 2007 (4,300 new filings as compared to 6,100 in the first
nine months of 2006). Possible 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 other states,
including 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
decline in new filings has been principally in non-malignant claims; however, new filings of claims
alleging mesothelioma, lung and other cancers, while relatively equal for the 2003, 2004 and 2005
years, declined in 2006 and the first nine months of 2007. Because the nature of the diseases or
conditions alleged remains unknown in a number of the claims filed in 2006 and thus far in 2007,
the extent of the decline in new malignant disease claims cannot be determined.
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, winning defense verdicts
in 12 of the 24 cases tried to verdict in the years 2004 through 2007, including the one case tried
to verdict thus far in 2007 and three of the four cases tried to verdict in 2006. In the
successful jury trials, the juries determined either that Garlocks products were not defective,
that Garlock was not negligent, or that the claimant was not exposed to Garlocks products.
29
Recent Trial Results. During the first nine months of 2007, Garlock began seven
trials. A Massachusetts jury returned a defense verdict in favor of Garlock. Four lawsuits in
Pennsylvania, one in Maryland and another in Washington settled during trial before the juries had
reached a verdict. 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. Garlock has also appealed the new
verdict. In addition, Garlock 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.
During 2005, Garlock began thirteen trials. Six of these lawsuits settled during the trials.
In a mesothelioma case in Texas, the jury returned a defense verdict in Garlocks favor just after
settlement was reached. An Illinois jury and a Washington jury also each returned defense verdicts
for Garlock. A Los Angeles jury returned an award to a living mesothelioma claimant, but Garlock
was able to settle the claim as part of a large group settlement prior to the entry of judgment. A
Baltimore jury returned a verdict of $10.4 million against Garlock and two other defendants in a
mesothelioma case. Garlocks one-third share was approximately $3.5 million. A Dallas jury
returned a verdict of $260,000 in another mesothelioma case. Garlocks share was approximately
$10,000, 4% of the total verdict. An Illinois jury in an asbestosis case returned a verdict
against Garlock of $225,000, all of which was offset by settlements with other defendants. The
final 2005 trial was the Kentucky case described in the previous paragraph, which resulted in a
verdict that was later overturned and subsequently retried in 2006.
Appeals. Garlock has historically enjoyed success in a majority of its appeals. We
believe 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 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 the 2005 Baltimore verdict
described above, 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. 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. At September 30, 2007, two Garlock appeals were
pending from adverse verdicts totaling $1.2 million, down from $6 million at December 31, 2006, and
more than $41 million at December 31, 2005.
In some cases, appeals require the provision of security in the form of appeal bonds,
potentially in amounts greater than the verdicts. We are required to provide cash collateral to
secure the full amount of the bonds, which can restrict the use of a significant amount of our cash
for the periods of such appeals. At September 30, 2007, we had $1.1 million of cash collateral
relating to appeal bonds recorded as restricted cash 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
30
prior to 1999. In 2001, Garlock resumed its historical settlement strategy and focused on
reducing settlement commitments to match insurance recoveries. As a result, Garlock reduced new
settlement commitments from $180 million in 2000 to $94 million in 2001, $86 million in 2002, $86
million in 2003, $84 million in 2004, $79 million in 2005 and $84 million in 2006. Approximately
$15 million of the 2006 amount was committed in settlements in 2006 to pay verdicts that had been
rendered in the years 2003 2005. New settlement commitments in the first nine months of 2007
totaled $64 million, compared to $59 million in the first nine months of 2006.
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 evidence that the claimant worked
with or around Garlock asbestos-containing products is required. The claimant is also required to
sign a full and 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, 2007, Garlock had available $393 million of
insurance and trust coverage that we believe will be available to cover future asbestos claim and
certain expense payments. In addition, at September 30, 2007, Garlock had $56 million of otherwise
available insurance that we classify as insolvent. We believe that Garlock will recover some of
the insolvent insurance over time. Garlock has collected approximately $1 million from insolvent
carriers in the first nine months of 2007, bringing total collections from insolvent carriers from
2002 through 2007 to approximately $39.3 million. There can be no assurance that Garlock will
collect any of the remaining insolvent insurance.
Of the $393 million of collectible insurance and trust assets, we consider $343 million (87%)
to be 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. We consider $50 million (13%) 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 ($44 million) or (b) with various London market carriers
($6 million). Of the $393 million, $247 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. Amounts paid by Garlock in excess of insurance
recoveries that would be recoverable from insurance if there was no limit may be collected from the
insurance companies in subsequent years, so long as insurance is available, subject to the limits
in subsequent years.
31
During the fourth quarter of 2006, we reached an agreement with a significant group of related
U.S. insurers. These insurers had withheld payments pending resolution of the matter. 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 during the first nine months of 2007.
In May 2006, we reached agreement with a U.S. insurer that resolved two lawsuits and an
arbitration proceeding. Pursuant to the settlement, Garlock received $4 million in December 2006
and will receive another $17 million in the future. As part of the agreement, Garlock agreed to
forgo $19 million of nominal insurance.
During the first quarter of 2005, we reached agreement with two of Garlocks U.S. insurers.
The insurers agreed to pay Garlock a total of $21 million in three equal bi-annual payments of $7
million. The first and second payments were received in May 2005 and April 2007, respectively; the
third payment is due in May 2009. The payments are guaranteed by the parent company of the
settling insurers.
In the second quarter of 2004, we reached agreement with Equitas, the London-based entity
responsible for the pre-1993 Lloyds of London policies in our insurance block, concerning
settlement of its exposure to our subsidiaries asbestos claims. As a result of the settlement,
$88 million was placed in an independent trust. In the fourth quarter of 2004, we reached
agreement with a group of London market carriers (other than Equitas) and one of our U.S. carriers
that has some policies reinsured through the London market. As a result of the settlement, $55.5
million was placed in an independent trust. At September 30, 2007, the market value of the
funds remaining in the two trusts was $44.0 million, which was included in the $393 million of
insurance and trust coverage available to pay future asbestos-related claims and expenses.
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.
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. By 2004, however, most asbestos defendants
who 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 we
authorized counsel to retain a recognized expert to assist in estimating our subsidiaries
liability for pending and future asbestos claims. After interviewing and qualifying several
recognized experts with us, counsel selected Bates White, LLC.
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 opined that each value within the range of $227 million to $382 million was an equally
likely estimate of the liability. We adopted the Bates White estimate and, accordingly, recorded
an additional liability for pending and unasserted claims as of December 31, 2004 to increase our
liability to an amount equal to the low end of the estimated range ($227 million). The recording
of such increased asbestos liability resulted in us also recording an increase to our insurance
receivable.
32
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, 2007, was $293 million to $656
million. According to Bates White, increases in the 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 our future
settlement payments and could therefore significantly affect our liability.
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. Until the second quarter of
2006, the additional liability was recorded with a corresponding increase in our insurance
receivable, and thus did not affect net income. During the second quarter of 2006, however, our
insurance was fully allocated to past, present and future claims, and therefore subsequent changes
to the Bates White estimate in 2006 were recorded as charges to income.
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. Until the end of 2006, we did not
have sufficient history comparing claims payments to our internal estimates to allow us to identify
a most likely point within the Bates White range. Therefore, prior to the fourth quarter of 2006,
we had adopted the low-end of the range provided by Bates White. However, 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
range. As a result, while the low end of the Bates White range 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. 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 managements
internal estimates.
We focus on future cash flows to prepare our estimate. We make assumptions about declining
future asbestos spending based on (1) past trends, (2) publicly available epidemiological data, (3)
current agreements with plaintiff firms and our 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 us by Bates White. We adjust our estimate
when current cash flow results and long-term trends suggest that our targets cannot be met. As a
result, we have a process that we believe produces the best estimate of the future liability for
the ten-year time period within the Bates White range.
We currently estimate that the liability of our subsidiaries for the indemnity cost of
resolving asbestos claims for the next ten years will be $511 million, which is a point in the
upper half of the Bates White range. The estimated liability of $511 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 our 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 full allocation of our remaining solvent insurance and our
33
adjusting the liability estimate to a point within the Bates White range have not altered our
strategy for managing the potential asbestos liabilities and insurance assets of our subsidiaries.
Although we believe that our estimate is the best estimate within the Bates White range of
reasonable and probable estimates of Garlocks future obligation, we note that Bates White also
indicated a broader range of potential estimates from $214 million to $739 million. We caution
that points within that broader range remain possible outcomes. Also, while we agree with our
expert 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. Adjusting our 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 obligation 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 $7.6 million per quarter. In addition to these legal fees and expenses, we expect to
continue to record charges to income in future quarters for:
|
|
|
Increases, 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 $7 8
million per quarter for the last eight quarters), plus |
|
|
|
|
Amounts, if any, of solvent insurance lost or commuted, offset by insolvent
recoveries and earnings from insurance settlement trusts. |
During the third quarter of 2007, we recorded a pre-tax charge to income of $11.5 million to
reflect net cash outlays of $5.9 million for legal fees and expenses incurred during the quarter,
and a $5.6 million non-cash charge primarily to add an estimate of the liability for the third
quarter of 2017 to maintain a ten-year estimate. For the first nine months of 2007, we have
recorded pre-tax charges to income of $37.5 to reflect net cash outlays of $19.6 million of legal
fees and expenses and a $17.9 million non-cash charge primarily to add an estimate of the liability
for the first nine months of 2017.
Quantitative Claims and Insurance Information. Our total liability at September 30,
2007 was $516.7 million (our estimate of the liability described above of $510.5 million plus $6.2
million of accrued legal and other fees already incurred but not yet paid). This amount includes
$94.9 million for advanced-stage cases, settled claims and accrued legal and other fees, and $421.8
million for early-stage and unasserted claims. The recorded amounts do not include legal fees and
expenses to be incurred in the future. The recorded amounts include $86.4 million classified in
current liabilities and $430.3 million classified in non-current liabilities.
As of September 30, 2007, we had remaining solvent insurance and trust coverage of $393.4
million which is reflected on our balance sheet as a receivable ($64.8 million classified in
current assets and $328.6 million classified in non-current assets) and which we believe will be
available for the payment of asbestos-related claims. Included in the receivable is $246.6 million
in insured claims and expenses that our subsidiaries have paid out in excess of amounts recovered
from insurance. These amounts are recoverable under our insurance policies and have been billed to
the insurance carriers. The remaining $146.8 million will be available for pending and future
claims.

flows, the amount that we expect Garlock to recover from insurance related to this liability, and

Includes actions actually filed with a court of competent jurisdiction. Each action in which
both Garlock and one or more other of our subsidiaries is named as a defendant is shown as a
single action. Multiple actions filed on behalf of the same plaintiff in multiple
jurisdictions are also counted as one action. Claims not filed as actions in court but that
are submitted and paid as part of previous settlements (approximately 800 in the first nine
months of 2007 and 700 in the first nine months of 2006) are not included. |

At September 30, 2007, the liability represents managements best estimate of the future
payments for the ten-year period October 1, 2007 September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2006,
the liability represents the low end of a range of equally likely future payments for the
following ten-year period. Amounts shown include $6.2 million and $8.4 million at September
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, of accrued fees and expenses for services previously
rendered. |
|
(6) |
|
Does not include fees and expenses to be incurred in the future, which are recorded as a
charge to income when incurred. |
Strategy. Garlocks strategy is to focus on trial-listed cases and other cases in
advanced stages, to reduce new settlement commitments and payments for fees and expenses each year,
to carefully manage
35
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. 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 multiple 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 the uncertainty as to (1) the number and timing of potential future
claims, (2) the amount that will have to be paid to litigate, settle or satisfy claims, and (3) 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 additional reform measures continue to be considered in
some 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 near
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 interest rates and foreign currency exchange 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 such 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, 2006, 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, 2007:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
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
report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosure.
Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control
over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how
well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the
fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative
to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that
judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or
mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of
two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of
controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there
can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
deterioration in the degree of compliance with polices or procedures. Because of the inherent
limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected.
Based on the controls evaluation and subject to the limitations noted above, our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to reasonably ensure that information 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
37
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, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
A description of environmental, asbestos and other legal matters is included in Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Contingencies.
