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.
The Company was incorporated on January 11, 2002, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goodrich
Corporation (Goodrich) in connection with Goodrichs distribution of its Engineered Industrial
Products segment to existing Goodrich shareholders. This distribution took place on May 31, 2002.
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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the period 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 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.
3. Comprehensive Income
Total comprehensive income consists of the following:

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 initial
conversion price of $33.79 per share.
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 $21.9 million for unrecognized tax
benefits of which $4.9 million, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company
records interest and 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. There
have been no significant changes to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the six
months ended June 30, 2007 and the Company does not currently anticipate that these amounts will
significantly change by the end of 2007.
5
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 material federal, state and local,
and foreign income tax returns for the years 2002 through 2005 are open to examination. The
federal income tax return for 2002 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.

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.
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 June 30, 2007 and December 31,
2006, EnPro had accrued liabilities of $30.9 million and $33.2 million, respectively, for estimated
future expenditures relating to environmental contingencies. Of the June 30, 2007 amount, $13.1
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 reserves 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
9
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 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 $20.4 million each at
June 30, 2007. As noted above, based on the valuation completed in early 2005, the actuary
determined that there were adequate assets in the Benefits Trust to fund the estimated payments by
the trust until the next valuation date. Until such time as a payment is required or the remaining
excess trust assets revert to the Company, the trust assets and liabilities 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 June 30, 2007, the Company had contingent liabilities for potential payments on
guarantees of certain debt and lease obligations totaling $10.1 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 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 six months ended June
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 $1.2 billion in settlements and judgments and
almost $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
June 30, 2007, the Company is aware of approximately 9,200 (8.6%) 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 filed against our subsidiaries in each of those three years was much lower than the number
filed in the
11
peak filing year, 2003, when 44,700 new claims were filed. This trend has continued in the
first half of 2007 (3,100 new filings as compared to 4,200 in the first half 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 half 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 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 half of 2007, Garlock began six trials. A
Massachusetts jury returned a defense verdict in favor of Garlock. Four lawsuits in Pennsylvania
and one in Maryland 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
12
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, 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 June 30,
2007, two Garlock appeals were pending from adverse verdicts totaling $1.2 million, down from 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 June 30, 2007, the Company had
$2.4 million of cash collateral relating to appeal bonds recorded as restricted cash on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of that amount, $1.2 million has been released in the third quarter
as a result of the successful New York appeal.
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 half of 2007 totaled $40 million, compared to $41 million in
the first half 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
13
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 June 30, 2007, Garlock had available $405 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 June 30, 2007, Garlock had $56 million of
otherwise available insurance that the Company classifies as insolvent. The Company believes that
Garlock will recover some of the insolvent insurance over time. Garlock collected approximately $5
million from insolvent carriers in 2006, bringing total collections from insolvent carriers from
2002 through 2006 to approximately $38.4 million. There can be no assurance that Garlock will
collect any of the remaining insolvent insurance.
Of the $405 million of collectible insurance and trust assets, the Company considers $354
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 $51 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 ($45 million) or (b) with various London market
carriers ($6 million). Of the $405 million, $241 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.
This payment delay accounted for $45.6 million of the Companys insurance receivables at June 30,
2007. 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 half 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.
14
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 June 30, 2007, the market
value of the funds remaining in the two trusts was $44.7 million, which was included in the $405
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.
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 June 30, 2007 was $295 million to $649 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
15
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 managing 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, while the Companys internal estimate has been within the Bates White range
of equally likely estimates for the past two years, it has proven to be a more precise predictor of
the actual amounts spent on settlements and verdicts than the low end of the range. As a result,
while the low end of the Bates White range still provides a reasonable lower boundary of possible
outcomes, Bates White and management concluded in the fourth quarter of 2006 that the Companys
internal estimate for the next ten years represented the most likely point within the range.
Accordingly, the Company adjusted the recorded liability from the low end of the Bates White
estimate to its point estimate. That point estimate was adjusted in each of the first and second
quarters of 2007 consistent with managements adjustment of its 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 $521 million, which is a point in the
upper half of the Bates White range. The estimated liability of $521 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 our 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 $213 million to $728 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
16
significantly for each year further into the future. Scenarios continue to exist that could
result in a total estimated asbestos liability 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 $8 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 the estimation
period to maintain a ten-year liability (increases of this type have averaged
approximately $7 8 million per quarter for the last two years), plus |
|
|
|
|
Amounts, if any, of solvent insurance lost or commuted, offset by insolvent
recoveries and earnings from insurance settlement trusts. |
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge to income of $13.1
million to reflect net cash outlays of $6.7 million of legal fees and expenses incurred during the
quarter and a $6.4 million non-cash charge primarily to add an estimate of the liability for the
second quarter of 2017 to maintain a ten-year estimate. For the first half of 2007, the Company
has recorded pre-tax charges to income of $26.0 to reflect net cash outlays of $13.8 million of
legal fees and expenses and a $12.2 million non-cash charge primarily to add an estimate of the
liability for the first half of 2017.
Quantitative Claims and Insurance Information. The Companys total liability at June
30, 2007 was $527.4 million (the Companys estimate of the liability described above of $520.6
million plus $6.8 million of accrued legal and other fees already incurred but not yet paid). This
amount includes $95.4 million for advanced-stage cases and settled claims and accrued legal and
other fees, and $432.0 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 $87.5
million classified in current liabilities and $439.9 million classified in non-current liabilities.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had remaining solvent insurance and trust coverage of $404.8
million which is reflected on its balance sheet as a receivable ($66.0 million classified in
current assets and $338.8 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 $241 million
in insured claims and expenses that our subsidiaries have paid out in excess of amounts recovered
from insurance. These amounts are recoverable under its insurance policies and have been billed to
the insurance carriers. The remaining $164 million will be available for pending and future
claims.
The table below quantitatively depicts the number of pending cases, asbestos-related cash
flows, the amount that the Company expects Garlock to recover from insurance related to this
liability, and an analysis of the liability.

12. Subsequent Events
In July 2007, the Company purchased Compressor Products International Limited (CPI), a
privately-held manufacturer of critical sealing components for reciprocating compressors, gas
engines and related equipment. The acquisition was paid for in cash and will be included in the
Companys Engineered Products segment. CPI, together with Texflo Machining Ltd. described
previously in Note 2 Acquisitions included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, had
combined annual revenues of approximately $43 million in the most recent fiscal year.
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; |
|
|
|
|
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. |
19
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 35 primary manufacturing facilities located in
the United States and eight 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 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.
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. During the second quarter of 2006, all of
our remaining
20
insurance available for asbestos-related claims was fully committed or allocated to previously
paid, pending and estimated future claims. As a result, beginning with the second quarter of 2006,
we incurred charges to income for legal fees as well as changes in assumptions that impact our
estimated liability. In addition, we incurred a significant charge in the fourth quarter of 2006
to increase the estimated liability from the low point in a broad range of estimates we previously
considered to be equally-likely to the point we believed to be the best estimate in the range. 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, full year results associated with the acquisitions completed
in 2006, increased market share as a result of new products, and selected price increases. Higher
sales volumes, productivity improvements associated with our TCV lean manufacturing program 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.
As part of our operating strategy to strengthen our mix of businesses, we will continue to
evaluate strategic acquisitions and divestitures in 2007; however, the 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,
21
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.
Second Quarter of 2007 Compared to the Second Quarter of 2006
Sales of $254.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 increased 12% from $226.7 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 2006 favorably impacted revenue by approximately five
percentage points on a year-over-year basis. The seven percentage points of organic growth was the
result of stronger demand in the U.S. and European markets of Garlock, higher shipments at GGB
Europe, continued strong demand in the energy-related markets of France Compressor Products,
increased engine shipments at Fairbanks Morse Engine, and selected price increases at several
businesses. These favorable variances were partially offset by lower OEM and aftermarket volumes
at Stemco and a decrease in industrial shipments at Quincy Compressor.
Segment profit, managements primary measure of how our operations performed during the
quarter, increased 22% from $36.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $43.9 million in the
comparable quarter of 2007. Segment profit was primarily impacted by selected price increases and
higher volumes, along with contributions from the acquisitions, favorable foreign exchange and
lower pension expenses. These expenses declined due to improved returns on pension assets and
lower service-related costs as a result of amendments to our domestic defined benefit plans.
Segment margins, defined as segment profit divided by sales, increased from 15.9% in 2006 to 17.3%
in 2007. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment
profit to income before income taxes.
Corporate expenses increased to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2007 from $7.1 million
in the comparable quarter of 2006. The increase in 2007 was primarily due to an increase in
benefit expense and higher performance based compensation resulting from the higher market price of
our common stock.
Asbestos expenses in the second quarter of 2007 were $13.1 million and included net cash
outlays of $6.7 million of legal fees and expenses incurred during the quarter and a $6.4 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 $20.7
million. During the second quarter of 2006, the remaining asbestos insurance was fully allocated
to previously paid, pending and future estimated claims such that, from that point forward, all
legal fees are expensed as incurred. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2006, we settled a
dispute with an insurance carrier that resulted in a reduction of our available solvent insurance
of approximately $19 million. Had our insurance been fully allocated prior to the second quarter
2006, asbestos expenses would have been $34.7 million during that quarter. The insurance
settlement would have accounted for about $19 million of that amount plus $3.4 million of expenses
in excess of policy limits previously billed to the carrier that would not be collected. The
remaining charge of $12.3 million would have included net cash outlays of $8.6 million of legal
fees and expenses that have been offset by $2.6 million of insolvent recoveries and a $6.3 million
non-cash charge primarily related to the addition of another quarter to maintain a ten-year
liability estimate for future claims. For a further discussion of asbestos expenses, see
Contingencies Asbestos.
Net interest income in the second quarter of 2007 was $0.2 million compared to net interest
expense of $0.8 million in the same quarter of 2006. The net interest income recorded in the
quarter was the result of higher cash balances.
Our effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2007 was 37.0% compared to 36.5% in the same
quarter of 2006.
22
Net income was $13.8 million, or $0.61 per share, in the second quarter of 2007 compared to
$4.2 million, or $0.19 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 $118.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 were 9%
higher than the $108.3 million reported in the same quarter of 2006. The favorable impact of the
euro and the 2006 acquisition of Amicon accounted for five percentage points of the growth. Sales
at Garlock Sealing Technologies were favorably impacted by increased demand in the European
markets, continued strength in the oil, gas and mining sectors, selected price increases and a
stronger euro. The 2006 acquisition of Amicon more than offset lower volumes due to weakness in
the semiconductor markets served by Plastomer Technologies. Aftermarket and OEM sales decreased at
Stemco in the second quarter of 2007 due to lower demand in the U.S. heavy-duty truck market.
Segment profit increased by 19% from $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $22.1
million in the comparable quarter of 2007. Profits at Garlock Sealing Technologies benefited from
higher volumes, selected price increases, a more favorable product mix and cost reduction
initiatives, which more than offset increased restructuring costs. Garlock Rubber Technologies
profit was higher due to improved manufacturing efficiencies. Lower volumes negatively impacted
Stemcos and Plastomers results on a year-over-year basis. Operating margins for the segment
increased from 17.1% in 2006 to 18.7% in 2007.
Engineered Products. Sales of $108.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 were 8%
higher than the $100.4 million reported in the same quarter of 2006. The year-over-year increase
in the value of the euro and the acquisitions completed last year favorably impacted revenue by six
percentage points when compared to 2006. Sales at France Compressor were higher in 2007 due to
increased volumes in the U.S. and European markets and the favorable impact associated with the
acquisitions completed last year. In 2007, GGB benefited from increased volumes in Europe,
selected price increases and favorable foreign currency exchange rates. Quincy Compressors sales
were lower than 2006 record levels as demand for rotary and reciprocating compressors weakened on a
year-over-year basis.
Segment profits were $18.4 million in the second quarter of 2007, or 12% higher than the $16.4
million reported in the comparable 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 France Compressor improved as a result of higher sales volume, selected
price increases, and acquisitions completed in the second half of 2006. Quincy Compressors profit
in 2007 declined primarily as a result of the lower volumes. Operating margins for the segment
increased from 16.3% in 2006 to 17.0% in 2007.
Engine Products and Services. Sales increased 54% from the $18.3 million reported in
the second quarter of 2006 to $28.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. The increase was
attributable to additional engine shipments and higher revenue associated with aftermarket parts
and service.
The segment reported a profit of $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $1.1
million in the second quarter of 2006. Results in 2007 benefited from a more favorable product mix
associated with higher margin aftermarket revenue, cost reduction initiatives and selected price
increases. Operating margins for the segment in 2007 were 12.1% compared to 6.0% in 2006.
23
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
Sales increased 10% from $455.0 million in 2006 to $501.7 million in 2007. The year-over-year
increase in the value of the euro and the 2006 acquisitions favorably impacted 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 upstream oil and gas markets, improved
economic conditions in Europe and favorable exchange rates. Plastomer Technologies revenue
increased in 2007 due to the acquisition of Amicon completed in 2006. France Compressor Products
sales were higher in 2007 due to the 2006 acquisition of Allwest, continued strength in the U.S.
and European energy-related markets, and selected price increases. GGBs sales exceeded 2006
levels as a result of favorable industrial 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 an increase in shipments to the U.S. Navy and additional demand for aftermarket parts and
service. These increases were partially offset by lower sales at Stemco as a result of lower OEM
and aftermarket demand.
Segment profit increased 16% from $74.3 million in 2006 to $86.1 million in 2007. Segment
profit in 2007 benefited from higher volumes in the Sealing Products, Engineered Products and
Engine Products and Services segments, selected price increases, acquisitions, cost reductions
associated with our TCV initiatives and lower pension expenses. Segment margins in 2007 were 17.2%
compared to 16.3% in 2006. A reconciliation of segment profit to income before income taxes is
included in Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Corporate expenses for the first six months of 2007 were $17.0 million compared to $15.2
million in 2006. This increase was primarily the result of higher performance based compensation.
Asbestos expenses in the first half of 2007 were $26.0 million and included net cash outlays
of $13.8 million of legal fees and expenses incurred in 2007 and a $12.2 million non-cash charge
primarily to add an additional two quarters to maintain a ten-year liability estimate for future
claims. In 2006, asbestos expenses were $25.6 million for the first half of the year. Had our
insurance been fully allocated prior to 2006, asbestos expenses would have been $49.9 million. The
insurance settlement would have accounted for about $19 million of that amount plus $3.4 million of
expenses in excess of policy limits previously billed to the carrier that would not be collected.
The remaining charge of $27.5 million would have included net cash outlays of $17.4 million of
legal fees and expenses that have been offset by $2.6 million of insolvent recoveries and a $12.7
million non-cash charge primarily related to the addition of another two quarters to maintain a
ten-year liability estimate for future claims.
Net interest income during the first six months of 2007 was $0.1 million compared to net
interest expense of $1.6 million in 2006. The improvement was the result of higher cash balances.
Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 37.0% compared to 36.5% in
2006.
Net income was $26.1 million, or $1.17 per share, for the first six months of 2007 compared to
$19.0 million, or $0.88 per share, in 2006. Earnings per share are expressed on a diluted basis.
24
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 $44.1 million of cash in the first half of 2007 compared to
$16.6 million in the first half of 2006. This includes a working capital increase of $12.1 million
in 2007 compared to an increase of $33.2 million in 2006. Working capital normally builds during
the first half of the year as seasonal activity increases in many of our markets. In 2007,
payments for asbestos-related claims and expense, net of insurance recoveries, were $3.2 million,
down from the $23.5 million in 2006 primarily as a result of 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.
Investing activities used $32.5 million and $21.8 million of cash during the first half of
2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2007 were $19.2 million compared to $15.9
million during the same period of 2006. The increase reflects spending associated with
modernization activities at our manufacturing facility in Palmyra, New York. We also made payments
of $12.5 million and $11.6 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, as a result of completed
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
$22.2 million and $21.8 million reserve for unrecognized
tax benefits at June 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 June 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. We have not borrowed against this facility, which matures on April 21, 2011. 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 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
June 30, 2007, the actual borrowing availability under our senior secured revolving credit facility
was $75 million.
We issued $172.5 million of convertible debentures in 2005. The debentures bear interest at
an annual rate of 3.9375%, and we pay accrued interest on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The debentures will mature on October 15, 2015. The debentures are direct, unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations and rank equal in priority with our unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. They
effectively rank junior to our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets
securing such indebtedness. The debentures do not contain any financial covenants. Holders may
convert the debentures into cash and shares of our common stock, if any, at an initial conversion
rate of 29.5972 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (which is equal to
an initial conversion price of $33.79 per share), subject to adjustment, before the close of
business on October 15, 2015. Upon conversion, we would deliver (i) cash equal to
25
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 June 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.
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 the
$100,000 threshold for required reporting in this discussion and analysis. 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
26
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 June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, EnPro had accrued
liabilities of $30.9 million and $33.2 million, respectively, for estimated future expenditures
relating to environmental contingencies. Of the June 30, 2007 amount, $13.1 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 reserves 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.
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.
27
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 $20.4 million each at
June 30, 2007. As noted above, based on the valuation completed in early 2005, the actuary
determined that there were adequate assets in the Benefits Trust to fund the estimated payments by
the trust until the next valuation date. Until such time as a payment is required or the remaining
excess trust assets revert to Coltec, the trust assets and liabilities 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 June 30, 2007, we had contingent liabilities for potential payments on guarantees of
certain debt and lease obligations totaling $10.1 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 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 $1.2 billion in settlements and judgments and
almost $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
June 30, 2007, we are aware of approximately 9,200 (8.6%) 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 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
half of 2007 (3,100 new filings as compared to 4,200 in the first half 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
28
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 half 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.
Recent Trial Results. During the first half of 2007, Garlock began six trials. A
Massachusetts jury returned a defense verdict in favor of Garlock. Four lawsuits in Pennsylvania
and one in Maryland 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
29
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 June 30, 2007, two Garlock appeals were pending
from adverse verdicts totaling $1.2 million, down from 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 June 30, 2007, we had $2.4 million of cash collateral relating
to appeal bonds recorded as restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of that amount,
$1.2 million has been released in the third quarter as a result of the successful New York appeal.
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 half of 2007 totaled $40 million, compared to $41 million in
the first half 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.
30
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 June 30, 2007, Garlock had available $405 million of
insurance and trust coverage that we believe will be available to cover future asbestos claim and
certain expense payments. In addition, at June 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 collected approximately $5 million from insolvent
carriers in 2006, bringing total collections from insolvent carriers from 2002 through 2006 to
approximately $38.4 million. There can be no assurance that Garlock will collect any of the
remaining insolvent insurance.
Of the $405 million of collectible insurance and trust assets, we consider $354 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 $51 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 ($45 million) or (b) with various London market carriers
($6 million). Of the $405 million, $241 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, we reached an agreement with a significant group of related
U.S. insurers. These insurers had withheld payments pending resolution of the matter. This
payment delay accounted for $45.6 million of our insurance receivables at June 30, 2007. 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 half 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
31
London market. As a result of the settlement, $55.5 million was placed in an independent
trust. At June 30, 2007, the market value of the funds remaining in the two trusts was $44.7
million, which was included in the $405 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.
Bates White has updated its estimate every quarter since the end of 2004. The estimated range
of potential liabilities provided by Bates White at June 30, 2007 was $295 million to $649 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
32
annual and long-term incentive compensation. Until the end of 2006, we did not have
sufficient history managing 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, while our internal estimate
has been within the Bates White range of equally likely estimates for the past two years, it has
proven to be a more precise predictor of the actual amounts spent on settlements and verdicts than
the low end of the range. As a result, while the low end of the Bates White range still provides a
reasonable lower boundary of possible outcomes, Bates White and management concluded in the fourth
quarter of 2006 that our internal estimate for the next ten years represented the most likely point
within the range. Accordingly, we adjusted the recorded liability from the low end of the Bates
White estimate to our point estimate. That point estimate was adjusted in each of the first and
second quarters of 2007 consistent with managements adjustment of its 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 $521 million, which is a point in the
upper half of the Bates White range. The estimated liability of $521 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 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 $213 million to $728 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 estimated asbestos liability 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 $8 million per quarter. In addition to these legal fees and expenses, we expect to
continue to record charges to income in future quarters for:
33
|
|
|
Increases, if any, in our estimate of Garlocks potential liability, plus |
|
|
|
|
Increases, if any, that result from additional quarters added to the estimation
period to maintain a ten-year liability (increases of this type have averaged
approximately $7 8 million per quarter for the last two years), plus |
|
|
|
|
Amounts, if any, of solvent insurance lost or commuted, offset by insolvent
recoveries and earnings from insurance settlement trusts. |
During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded a pre-tax charge to income of $13.1 million to
reflect $6.7 million of legal fees and expenses incurred during the quarter and a $6.4 million
non-cash charge to add an estimate of the liability for the second quarter of 2017 to maintain a
ten-year estimate. For the first half of 2007, we have recorded pre-tax charges to income of $26.0
to reflect $13.8 million of legal fees and expenses and a $12.2 million non-cash charge to add an
estimate of the liability for the first half of 2017.
Quantitative Claims and Insurance Information. Our total liability at June 30, 2007
was $527.4 million (our estimate of the liability described above of $520.6 million plus $6.8
million of accrued legal and other fees already incurred but not yet paid). This amount includes
$95.4 million for advanced-stage cases and settled claims and accrued legal and other fees, and
$432.0 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 $87.5 million
classified in current liabilities and $439.9 million classified in non-current liabilities.
As of June 30, 2007, we had remaining solvent insurance and trust coverage of $404.8 million
which is reflected on our balance sheet as a receivable ($66.0 million classified in current assets
and $338.8 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 $241 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 $164 million will be available for pending and future claims.
The table below quantitatively depicts the number of pending cases, asbestos-related cash
flows, the amount that we expect Garlock to recover from insurance related to this liability, and
an analysis of the liability.

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 half of
2007 and 600 in the first half of 2006) are not included. |
|

|
Includes all payments for judgments, settlements, fees and expenses made in the period. |
|
(3) |
|
Includes all recoveries from insurance received in the period. |
|
(4) |
|
Includes previous payments for which Garlock is entitled to receive corresponding insurance
recoveries but has not received payment, in large part due to annual limits imposed under
insurance arrangements. |

|
At June 30, 2007, the liability represents managements best estimate of the future payments
for the ten-year period June 30, 2007 June 30, 2017. At June 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 $6.8 million and $8.9 million at June 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 each year, to carefully manage and maximize
insurance collections, and to proactively support legislative and other efforts aimed at meaningful
asbestos reform. We believe that this strategy should result in the reduction of the negative
annual cash flow impact from asbestos claims. However, the risk of large verdicts sometimes
impacts the implementation of the strategy, and
35
therefore it is likely that, from time to time, Garlock will enter into settlements that
involve large numbers of cases, including early-stage cases, when it believes that the risk
outweighs the benefits of the strategy. We believe that, as predicted in various epidemiological
studies that are publicly available, the incidence of asbestos-related disease is in decline and
should continue to decline steadily over the next decade and thereafter, so that claims activity
against Garlock will eventually decline to a level that can be paid from the cash flow expected
from Garlocks operations, even after Garlock exhausts its insurance coverage. However, there can
be no assurance that epidemiological predictions about incidence of asbestos-related disease will
prove to be accurate, or that, even if they are, there will be a commensurate decline in the number
of asbestos-related claims filings.
Considering the foregoing, as well as the experience of our subsidiaries and other defendants
in asbestos litigation, the likely sharing of judgments among multiple responsible defendants,
bankruptcies of other defendants, and legislative efforts, and given the amount of insurance
coverage available to our subsidiaries from solvent insurance carriers, we believe that pending
asbestos actions against our subsidiaries are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, but could be material to our results of operations or cash flows in given
future periods. We anticipate that asbestos claims will continue to be filed against our
subsidiaries. Because of 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 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 contracts as of June 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 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 June 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.

involved in, other litigation and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We
believe that the outcome of such other litigation and legal proceedings will not have a material
adverse affect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
