NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2007, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, are unaudited. In managements opinion, all adjustments
comprising normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed
consolidated financial statements have been made.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2007 (Quarterly Report) are
presented as permitted by Regulation S-X and do not contain certain information included in our
annual financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2006 (2006 Annual Report).
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform with the current
period presentation.
Income Taxes, Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves
As of January 1, 2007, we adopted Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN No. 48 addresses
the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should
be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN No. 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from
an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be
sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the technical
merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the
relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
Other Accounting Policies
Other significant accounting policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the
three months ended March 31, 2007, are detailed in Note 1 of our 2006 Annual Report.
Accounting Developments
Pronouncements Implemented
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial
Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 155 improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid
financial instruments and simplifies the accounting for these instruments. In particular, SFAS No.
155:
|
|
|
permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an
embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; |
|
|
|
|
clarifies which interest-only and principal-only strips are not subject to the
requirements of SFAS No. 133; |
|
|
|
|
establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to
identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial
instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; |
|
|
|
|
clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not
embedded derivatives; and |
|
|
|
|
amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity
from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other
than another derivative financial instrument. |
4
SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning
of an entitys fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Our adoption of SFAS No. 155 in
the first three months of 2007 had no impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of
operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets
an amendment of Statement No. 140. SFAS No. 156 clarifies when an obligation to service financial
assets should be separately recognized as a servicing asset or a servicing liability, requires that
a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability be initially measured at fair value
and permits an entity with a separately recognized servicing asset or servicing liability to choose
either the amortization method or fair value method for subsequent measurement. SFAS No. 156 is
effective for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities acquired or issued after
the beginning of an entitys fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Our adoption of
SFAS No. 156 in the first three months of 2007 had no impact on our consolidated financial
condition or results of operations.
In March 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF Issue No. 06-03, How Taxes
Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income
Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). EITF No. 06-03 requires that the presentation
of taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on a revenue-producing
transaction between a seller and a customer on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or a
net (excluded from revenues) basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed
pursuant to APB No. 22, Disclosure of Accounting Policies. In addition, if any of such taxes are
reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose, on an aggregated basis, the amounts of those
taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is
presented if those amounts are significant. EITF Issue No. 06-03 is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2006. As we have historically presented such
taxes on a net basis within our results of operations, our adoption of EITF Issue No. 06-03 in the
first three months of 2007 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or
results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN No. 48 clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements
in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN No. 48 also prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure
and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN No. 48 is a two-step
process. The first step is a recognition process whereby the enterprise determines whether it is
more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution
of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The
second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold is calculated to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the
financial statements. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2006. The impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations of
adopting FIN No. 48 in the first three months of 2007 is presented in Note 11.
Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157
establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that
require or permit fair value measurements; however, it does not require any new fair value
measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. We are still evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on our consolidated
financial condition and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159
permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. It provides entities with the
opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are still evaluating the
impact of SFAS No. 159 on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Although there are no other final pronouncements recently issued that we have not adopted and
that we expect to impact reported financial information or disclosures, accounting promulgating
bodies have a number of pending projects that may directly impact us. We continue to evaluate the
status of these projects and as these projects become final, we will provide disclosures regarding
the likelihood and magnitude of their impact, if any.

2. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Our stock-based compensation relates to stock options, restricted stock and other equity-based
awards, and is accounted for under SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Under this method, we
recorded stock-based compensation expense of $3.6 million ($5.3 million pre-tax) and $2.8 million
($3.9 million pre-tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Stock Options Information related to stock options issued to officers, other employees
and directors under all plans described in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included
in our 2006 Annual Report is presented in the following table:

No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007. The weighted
average fair value per share of options granted was $24.23 for the three months ended March 31,
2006. The total fair value of stock options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2007
and 2006 was $2.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The fair value of each option award is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
As of March 31, 2007, we have $4.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to
outstanding unvested stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of approximately 1.4 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options
exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $8.8 million. No options were
exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 as we were in a black-out period due to our
then non-current status of filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Stock-based compensation expense related solely to stock options recognized for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, was $0.7 million ($1.1 million pre-tax) and $1.2 million
($1.6 million pre-tax), respectively.
Restricted Stock Awards of restricted stock are valued at the closing market price of our
common stock on the date of grant. The unearned compensation is amortized to compensation expense
over the vesting period of the restricted stock. We have unearned compensation of $30.6 million
and $15.0 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.0 years. These amounts will be
recognized into net earnings in prospective periods as the awards vest. The total fair value of
restricted shares and units vested during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $6.3
million and $1.8 million, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock recognized was $2.9 million ($4.2
million pre-tax) and $1.6 million ($2.3 million pre-tax) for the three months ended March 31, 2007
and 2006, respectively.

Restricted stock granted during the three months ended March 31, 2007, includes
approximately 186,000 shares with performance-based vesting provisions, and vesting ranges from 0%
to 200% based on pre-defined performance targets. Performance-based restricted stock is earned
upon the achievement of performance targets, and is payable in common shares. Compensation expense
is recognized over a 37-month cliff vesting period based on the fair market value of our common
stock on the date of grant, as adjusted for anticipated forfeitures. During the performance
period, compensation expense may be adjusted based on changes in the expected achievement of the
performance targets.
3. Derivative Instruments and Hedges
We enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge our risks associated with transactions
denominated in currencies other than the local currency of the operation engaging in the
transaction. Our risk management and derivatives policy specifies the conditions under which we may
enter into derivative contracts. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had $337.6 million
and $433.7 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding forward contracts with third
parties. At March 31, 2007, the length of forward contracts currently in place was two days to 20
months.
The fair market value adjustments of our forward exchange contracts are recognized directly in
our results of operations. The fair value of these outstanding forward contracts at March 31, 2007
and December 31, 2006 was a net asset of $4.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Unrealized
net gains from the changes in the fair value of these forward contracts of $0.3 million and $0.2
million, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are included in other
(expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
Also as part of our risk management program, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to
hedge exposure to floating interest rates on certain portions of our debt. At both March 31, 2007
and December 31, 2006, we had $435.0 million of notional amount in outstanding interest rate swaps
with third parties. At March 31, 2007, the maximum remaining length of any interest rate contract
in place was approximately 33 months. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was a
net asset of $0.8 million and $1.9 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Unrealized net (losses) gains from the changes in fair value of our interest rate swap agreements,
net of reclassifications, of $(0.7) million and $1.4 million, net of tax, for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are included in other comprehensive income.
During 2004, we entered into a compound derivative contract to hedge exposure to both currency
translation and interest rate risks associated with our European Investment Bank credit facility.
The notional amount of the derivative was $85.0 million, and it served to convert floating rate
interest rate risk to a fixed rate, as well as U.S. dollar currency risk to Euros. As described
more fully in our 2006 Annual Report, we repaid all amounts outstanding under this facility on
December 15, 2006 and settled the derivative. The unrealized gain on the derivative and the
foreign transaction gain on the underlying loan aggregated to $2.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2006, and is included in other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated
statement of income.
We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by
counterparties to our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties
under forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements and expect all counterparties to meet
their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.

Credit Facilities
On August 12, 2005, we entered into credit facilities comprised of a $600.0 million term loan
expiring on August 10, 2012 and a $400.0 million revolving line of credit, which can be utilized to
provide up to $300.0 million in letters of credit, expiring on August 12, 2010. We refer to these
credit facilities collectively as our Credit Facilities. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
we had $85.0 million and $0 outstanding under the revolving line of credit, respectively. We had
outstanding letters of credit of $90.5 million and $83.9 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31,
2006, respectively, which reduced borrowing capacity to $224.5 million and $316.1 million,
respectively.
Borrowings under our Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either
(1) the base rate (which is based on the greater of the prime rate most recently announced by the
administrative agent under our Credit Facilities or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%) or (2) LIBOR
plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the ratio of our total debt to consolidated
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), which as of March 31,
2007 was 1.5% for LIBOR borrowings.
The loans under our Credit Facilities are subject to mandatory repayment with, in general:
|
|
|
100% of the net cash proceeds of asset sales; and |
|
|
|
|
Unless we attain and maintain investment grade credit ratings: |
|
o |
|
50% of the proceeds of any equity offerings; and |
|
|
o |
|
100% of the proceeds of any debt issuances (subject to certain exceptions). |
We may prepay loans under our Credit Facilities in whole or in part, without premium or
penalty. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we made no payments under our Credit
Facilities. We have scheduled repayments of $1.4 million due in both the third and fourth quarters
of 2007.

8. Legal Matters and Contingencies
We are a defendant in a large number of pending lawsuits (which include, in many cases,
multiple claimants) that seek to recover damages for personal injury allegedly caused by exposure
to asbestos-containing products manufactured and/or distributed by us in the past. Any such
products were encapsulated and used only as components of process equipment, and we do not believe
that any emission of respirable asbestos fibers occurred during the use of this equipment. We
believe that a high percentage of the applicable claims are covered by applicable insurance or
indemnities from other companies.
In 2003, related lawsuits were filed in federal court in the Northern District of Texas (the
Court), alleging that we violated federal securities laws. Since the filing of these cases, which
have been consolidated, the lead plaintiff has amended its complaint several times. The lead
plaintiffs current pleading is the fifth consolidated amended complaint (the Complaint). The
Complaint alleges that federal securities violations occurred between February 6, 2001 and
September 27, 2002 and names as defendants our company, C. Scott Greer, our former Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Renee J. Hornbaker, our former Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm,
and Banc of America Securities LLC and Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, which served as underwriters
for our two public stock offerings during the relevant period. The Complaint asserts claims under
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and
Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The lead plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory
damages, forfeiture by Mr. Greer and Ms. Hornbaker of unspecified incentive-based or equity-based
compensation and profits from any stock sales, and recovery of costs. On November 22, 2005, the
Court entered an order denying the defendants motions to dismiss the Complaint. The case is
currently set for trial on October 1, 2007. We continue to believe that the lawsuit is without
merit and are vigorously defending the case.
In 2005, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed purportedly on our behalf in the 193rd
Judicial District of Dallas County, Texas. The lawsuit names as defendants Mr. Greer, Ms.
Hornbaker, and current board members Hugh K. Coble, George T. Haymaker, Jr., William C. Rusnack,
Michael F. Johnston, Charles M. Rampacek, Kevin E. Sheehan, Diane C. Harris, James O. Rollans and
Christopher A. Bartlett. We are named as a nominal defendant. Based primarily on the purported
misstatements alleged in the above-described federal securities case, the plaintiff asserts claims
against the defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste
of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff alleges that these purported violations of
state law occurred between April 2000 and the date of suit. The plaintiff seeks on our behalf an
unspecified amount of damages, injunctive relief and/or the imposition of a constructive trust on
defendants assets, disgorgement of compensation, profits or other benefits received by the
defendants from us, and recovery of attorneys fees and costs. We strongly believe that the suit
was improperly filed and have filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case. The Court has since
ordered the plaintiffs to replead. The trial is currently set for December 2007.
On March 14, 2006, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed purportedly on our behalf in
federal court in the Northern District of Texas. The lawsuit named as defendants Mr. Greer, Ms.
Hornbaker, and the following board members Mr. Coble, Mr. Haymaker, Mr. Kling, Mr. Rusnack, Mr.
Johnston, Mr. Rampacek, Mr. Sheehan, Ms. Harris, Mr. Rollans and Mr. Bartlett. We were named as a
nominal defendant. Based primarily on certain of the purported misstatements alleged in the
above-described federal securities case, the plaintiff asserted claims against the defendants for
breaches of fiduciary duty. The plaintiff alleged that the purported breaches of
9
fiduciary duty
occurred between 2000 and 2004. The plaintiff sought on our behalf an unspecified amount of
damages, disgorgement by Mr. Greer and Ms. Hornbaker of salaries, bonuses, restricted stock and
stock options, and recovery of attorneys fees and costs. Pursuant to a motion filed by us, the
federal court dismissed that case on March 14, 2007, primarily on the basis that the case was not
properly filed in federal court. On or about March 27, 2007, the same plaintiff re-filed
essentially the same lawsuit naming the same
defendants in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. We strongly believe that this new
lawsuit was improperly filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York as well and have filed a
motion seeking dismissal of the case.
On February 7, 2006, we received a subpoena from the SEC seeking documents and information
relating primarily to products that two of our foreign subsidiaries delivered to Iraq from 1996
through 2003 under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. We believe that the SECs investigation
is focused primarily on whether any inappropriate payments were made to Iraqi officials in
violation of the federal securities laws. We subsequently learned that the United States
Department of Justice is investigating the same allegations. In addition, two foreign subsidiaries
have been contacted by governmental authorities in their respective countries concerning their
involvement in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. These investigations include periods prior
to, as well as subsequent to, our acquisition of certain of the foreign operations involved in the
investigations. We may be subject to certain liabilities if violations are found regardless of
whether they relate to periods before or subsequent to our acquisition.
We believe that both the domestic and foreign governmental authorities are investigating other
companies connection with the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program.
We engaged outside counsel in February 2006 to conduct an investigation of our foreign
subsidiaries participation in the United Nations Oil-for-Food program. The Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors has been regularly monitoring this situation since the receipt of the SEC
subpoena and assumed direct oversight of the investigation in January 2007. We currently expect
this internal investigation will be completed during the second quarter of 2007.
Our internal investigation has included, among other things, a detailed review of contracts
with the Iraqi government under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program during 1996 through 2003, a
forensic review of the accounting records associated with these contracts, and interviews of
persons with knowledge of the events in question. Our investigation has found evidence to date
that, during the years 2001 through 2003, certain non-U.S. personnel at the two foreign
subsidiaries authorized payments in connection with certain of our product sales under the United
Nations Oil-for-Food Program totaling approximately 0.6 million, which were subsequently
deposited by third parties into Iraqi-controlled bank accounts. These payments were not authorized
under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program and were not properly documented in the subsidiaries
accounting records, but were expensed as paid. During the course of the investigation, certain
other potential issues involving non-U.S. personnel were identified at one of the foreign
subsidiaries, which are currently under review.
We have taken certain disciplinary actions against persons who engaged in misconduct, violated
our ethics policies or failed to cooperate fully in the investigation, including terminating the
employment of certain non-U.S. senior management personnel at one of the foreign subsidiaries.
Certain other non-U.S. senior management personnel at that facility involved in the above conduct
had been previously separated from our company for other reasons. Additional disciplinary actions
may be taken as our investigation continues.
We will continue to fully cooperate in the domestic and foreign governmental investigations.
These investigations are in progress but, at this point, are incomplete. Accordingly, we cannot
predict the outcome of these investigations at this time. If the domestic or foreign authorities
take enforcement action with regard to these investigations, we may be required to pay fines,
disgorge profits, consent to injunctions against future conduct or suffer other penalties, which
could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2006, we initiated a process to determine our compliance posture with respect to U.S.
export control laws and regulations. Upon initial investigation, it appeared that some product
transactions and technology transfers were not re-exported in full compliance with U.S. export
control laws and regulations. As a result, in conjunction with outside counsel, we are currently
involved in a systematic process to conduct further review, validation, and voluntary disclosure of
export violations discovered as part of this review process. We currently believe this process
will not be substantially complete until the end of 2008, given the complexity of the export laws
and the current scope of the investigation. Any violations of U.S. export control laws and
regulations that are identified and disclosed to the U.S. government may result in civil or
criminal penalties, including fines and/or other penalties. Because our review into this issue is
ongoing, we are currently unable to determine the full extent of any confirmed violations or
determine the nature or total amount of potential penalties to which we might be subject to in the
future. Given that the resolution of this matter is uncertain at this time, we are not able to
reasonably estimate the maximum amount of liability that could result from final resolution of this
matter. We cannot currently predict whether the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a
material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to do business outside the U.S. or
on our financial condition.
10
We have been involved as a potentially responsible party at former public waste disposal sites
that may be subject to remediation under pending government procedures. The sites are in various
stages of evaluation by federal and state environmental authorities. The projected cost of
remediation at these sites, as well as our alleged fair share allocation, is uncertain and
speculative until all studies
have been completed and the parties have either negotiated an amicable resolution or the
matter has been judicially resolved. At each site, there are many other parties who have similarly
been identified, and the identification and location of additional parties is continuing under
applicable federal or state law. Many of the other parties identified are financially strong and
solvent companies that appear able to pay their share of the remediation costs. Based on our
information about the waste disposal practices at these sites and the environmental regulatory
process in general, we believe that it is likely that ultimate remediation liability costs for each
site will be apportioned among all liable parties, including site owners and waste transporters,
according to the volumes and/or toxicity of the wastes shown to have been disposed of at the sites.
We believe that our exposure for existing disposal sites will be less than $100,000.
We are also a defendant in several other lawsuits, including product liability claims, that
are insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, arising in the ordinary course of business.
Based on currently available information, we believe that we have adequately accrued estimated
probable losses for such lawsuits.
Although none of the aforementioned potential liabilities can be quantified with absolute
certainty except as otherwise indicated above, we have established reserves covering exposures
relating to contingencies, to the extent believed to be reasonably estimable and probable, which we
believe to be reasonable based on past experience and available facts. While additional exposures
beyond these reserves could exist, they currently cannot be estimated. We will continue to evaluate
these potential contingent loss exposures and, if they develop, recognize expense as soon as such
losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated.
We are also involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, none of which
we believe to be material to our business, operations or overall financial condition. However,
resolutions or dispositions of claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have a
significant impact on our operating results for the reporting period in which any such resolution
or disposition occurs.

10. Shareholders Equity
On September 29, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to two
million shares of our outstanding common stock. Shares may be repurchased to offset potentially
dilutive effects of stock options issued under our equity-based compensation programs. We
repurchased 0.5 million shares for $25.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007. To
date, we have repurchased a total of 1.8 million shares. We expect to conclude the program by the
end of the second quarter of 2007.
On February 28, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the payment of a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.15 per share, which was paid on April 11, 2007 to shareholders of record as of March
28, 2007.
11
11. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we earned $53.0 million before taxes and provided
for income taxes of $19.4 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 36.6%. The effective tax
rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2007
primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we earned $27.7 million before taxes and provided
for income taxes of $9.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 32.7%. The effective tax
rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2006
primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, which addresses the determination of whether tax
benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial
statements. Under FIN No. 48, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only
if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing
authorities. The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that
each uncertain tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full
knowledge of all relevant information.
The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be
measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being
realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires
increased disclosures. We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007.
The cumulative effect of adopting FIN No. 48 was an increase in tax reserves and a decrease of
$29.8 million to opening retained earnings at January 1, 2007. Upon adoption, the amount of gross
unrecognized tax benefits at January 1, 2007 was approximately $129 million. There are offsetting
tax benefits of approximately $43 million associated with the correlative effects of transfer
pricing adjustments, net operating losses and timing adjustments. The net liability for uncertain
tax positions is $86.0 million. Of this amount $84.9 million, if recognized, would favorably
impact our effective tax rate.
Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax expense.
The balance of accrued interest and penalties recorded on the balance sheet at January 1, 2007 was
approximately $14 million.
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits did not materially change as of March 31, 2007. With
limited exception, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax audits for
years through 2001 or non-U.S. income tax audits for years through 2000. Our
U.S. income tax returns for 2002 through 2004 are currently under examination by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS). It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we and the IRS
will resolve some or all of the matters presently under examination; however, an estimate of the
range of possible changes that may result from the examination cannot be made at this time.
Additionally, we are currently under examination for various years in Germany, Italy, Canada, the
Netherlands and Argentina. We do not expect any changes from these examinations to have a
significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
12. Segment Information
We are principally engaged in the worldwide design, manufacture, distribution and service of
industrial flow management equipment. We provide pumps, valves and mechanical seals primarily for
the petroleum industry, chemical-processing industry, power-generation industry, water industry,
general industry and other industries requiring flow management products.
We have the following three divisions, each of which constitutes a business segment:
|
|
|
Flowserve Pump Division (FPD); |
|
|
|
|
Flow Control Division (FCD); and |
|
|
|
|
Flow Solutions Division (FSD). |
Each division manufactures different products and is defined by the type of products and
services provided. Each division has a President, who reports directly to our Chief Executive
Officer, and a Division Vice President Finance, who reports directly to our Chief Accounting
Officer. For decision-making purposes, our Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior
executive management use financial information generated and reported at the division level. Our
corporate headquarters does not constitute a separate division or business segment.
12
We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segments operating
income. Amounts classified as All Other include the corporate headquarters costs and other minor
entities that do not constitute separate segments. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded
at cost plus a profit margin, with the margin on such sales eliminated with consolidation.
The following is a summary of the financial information of the reportable segments reconciled
to the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements, and
notes thereto, and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The
following discussion should also be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial
statements, and notes thereto, and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations included in our 2006 Annual Report.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
We are an established leader in the fluid motion and control business, with a strong
portfolio of pumping systems, valves, sealing solutions, automation and services in support of the
oil and gas, chemical, power generation, water treatment and general industrial markets. These
products are integral to the movement, control and protection of fluids in customers critical
processes, whether it is a refinery, a power generation facility or a transportation pipeline. Our
business model is heavily influenced by the capital spending of these industries for the placement
of new products into service and for maintenance on existing facilities. The worldwide installed
base of our products is another important source of revenue, where products are expected to ensure
the maximum operating time of many key industrial processes. The aftermarket business includes
parts, service solutions, product life cycle solutions and other value added services, and is
generally a higher margin business and a key component to our profitable growth.
We experienced favorable conditions in 2006 in several of our core markets, specifically oil
and gas, which has continued through the first three months of 2007. The sustained increase in the
price of crude oil and natural gas, in particular, has spurred capital investment by oil and gas
companies, resulting in many new projects and expansion opportunities for us. Favorable market
conditions have resulted in corresponding growth, much of which is in non-traditional areas of the
world where new oil and gas reserves have been discovered. We believe the outlook for our business
remains favorable; however, we believe that oil and gas prices will fluctuate in the future and
such volatility could have a negative impact on our business in some or all of the geographical
areas in which we conduct business. We and our customers are seeing rapid growth in the Middle
East and Asia, with China providing a significant source of project growth as that country
continues to develop. We continue to execute on our strategy to increase our presence in these
regions to capture aftermarket business through our current installed base, as well as new projects
and process plant expansions. The opportunity to increase our installed base of new products and
drive recurring aftermarket business in future years is a critical by-product of these favorable
market conditions. Although we have experienced strong demand for our products and services in
recent periods, we face challenges affecting many companies in our industry and/or with significant
international operations.
We currently employ approximately 14,000 employees in more than 55 countries who are focused
on six key strategies that reach across the business. See Our Strategies section of
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2006
Annual Report for a discussion of our six key strategies. We continue to build on our geographic
breadth with the implementation of additional Quick Response Centers (QRCs) with the goal to be
positioned as near to our customers as practicable for service and support in order to capture this
important aftermarket business. Along with ensuring that we have the local capability to sell,
install and service our equipment in remote regions, it becomes equally imperative to continuously
improve our global operations. Our global supply chain capability is being expanded to meet global
customer demands and ensure the quality and timely delivery of our products. Significant efforts
are underway to reduce the supply base and drive processes across the divisions to find areas of
synergy and cost reduction. In addition, we are improving our supply chain management capability
to ensure it can meet global customer demands. We continue to focus on improving on-time delivery
and quality, while reducing warranty costs across our global operations through a focused
Continuous Improvement Process (CIP) initiative. The goal of the CIP initiative is to maximize
service fulfillment to customers such as on-time delivery, reduced cycle time and quality at the
highest internal productivity. This program is a key factor in our margin expansion plans.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On February 7, 2006, we received a subpoena from the SEC seeking documents and information
relating primarily to products that two of our foreign subsidiaries delivered to Iraq from 1996
through 2003 under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. We believe that the SECs investigation
is focused primarily on whether any inappropriate payments were made to Iraqi officials in
violation of the federal securities laws. We subsequently learned that the United States
Department of Justice is investigating the same allegations. In addition, two foreign subsidiaries
have been contacted by governmental authorities in their respective countries concerning their
involvement in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. These investigations include periods prior
to, as well as subsequent to, our acquisition of certain of the foreign operations involved in the
investigations. We may be subject to certain liabilities if violations are found regardless of
whether they relate to periods before or subsequent to our acquisition.
14
We believe that both the domestic and foreign governmental authorities are investigating other
companies connection with the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program.
We engaged outside counsel in February 2006 to conduct an investigation of our foreign
subsidiaries participation in the United Nations Oil-for-Food program. The Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors has been regularly monitoring this situation since the receipt of the SEC
subpoena and assumed direct oversight of the investigation in January 2007. We currently expect
this internal investigation will be completed during the second quarter of 2007.
Our internal investigation has included, among other things, a detailed review of contracts
with the Iraqi government under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program during 1996 through 2003, a
forensic review of the accounting records associated with these contracts, and interviews of
persons with knowledge of the events in question. Our investigation has found evidence to date
that, during the years 2001 through 2003, certain non-U.S. personnel at the two foreign
subsidiaries authorized payments in connection with certain of our product sales under the United
Nations Oil-for-Food Program totaling approximately 0.6 million, which were subsequently
deposited by third parties into Iraqi-controlled bank accounts. These payments were not authorized
under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program and were not properly documented in the subsidiaries
accounting records, but were expensed as paid. During the course of the investigation, certain
other potential issues involving non-U.S. personnel were identified at one of the foreign
subsidiaries, which are currently under review.
We have taken certain disciplinary actions against persons who engaged in misconduct, violated
our ethics policies or failed to cooperate fully in the investigation, including terminating the
employment of certain non-U.S. senior management personnel at one of the foreign subsidiaries.
Certain other non-U.S. senior management personnel at that facility involved in the above conduct
had been previously separated from our company for other reasons. Additional disciplinary actions
may be taken as our investigation continues.
We will continue to fully cooperate in the domestic and foreign governmental investigations.
These investigations are in progress but, at this-point, are incomplete. Accordingly, we cannot
predict the outcome of these investigations at this time. If the domestic or foreign authorities
take enforcement action with regard to these investigations, we may be required to pay fines,
disgorge profits, consent to injunctions against future conduct or suffer other penalties, which
could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2006, we initiated a process to determine our compliance posture with respect to U.S.
export control laws and regulations. Upon initial investigation, it appeared that some product
transactions and technology transfers were not re-exported in full compliance with U.S. export
control laws and regulations. As a result, in conjunction with outside counsel, we are currently
involved in a systematic process to conduct further review, validation, and voluntary disclosure of
export violations discovered as part of this review process. We currently believe this process
will not be substantially complete until the end of 2008, given the complexity of the export laws
and the current scope of the investigation. Any violations of U.S. export control laws and
regulations that are identified and disclosed to the U.S. government may result in civil or
criminal penalties, including fines and/or other penalties. Because our review into this issue is
ongoing, we are currently unable to determine the full extent of any confirmed violations or
determine the nature or total amount of potential penalties to which we might be subject to in the
future. Given that the resolution of this matter is uncertain at this time, we are not able to
reasonably estimate the maximum amount of liability that could result from final resolution of this
matter. We cannot currently predict whether the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a
material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to do business outside the U.S. or
on our financial condition.

We define a booking as the receipt of a customer order that contractually engages us to
perform activities on behalf of our customer with regard to manufacture, service or support.
Bookings for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $210.2 million, or 23.9%, as
compared with the same period in 2006. The increase includes currency benefits of approximately
$47 million. The increase is primarily attributable to the strong oil and gas industry, which has
positively impacted all divisions. Original
15
equipment bookings accounted for approximately three-quarters of the increase, most notably in
FPD. Bookings for both FCD and FSD also increased in North America and Asia Pacific.
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $149.5 million, or 22.9%, as
compared with the same period in 2006. The increase includes currency benefits of approximately $35
million. The increase is attributable to the strength in the oil and gas market, particularly in
North America, expansion in the Asia Pacific region and significant increases in original equipment
sales in both FPD and FCD. Strength in all valve markets also contributed to the sales increase.
Net sales to international customers, including export sales from the U.S., were approximately
64% of consolidated sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared with approximately
62% for the same period in 2006. The increase in 2007 is due primarily to a weakening of the U.S.
dollar exchange rate against the Euro and the British pound during the three months ended March 31,
2007 as compared with the same period in 2006.
Backlog represents the value of aggregate uncompleted customer orders. Backlog of $1.9
billion at March 31, 2007 increased by $300.0 million, or 18.4%, as compared with December 31,
2006. Currency effects provided an increase of approximately $13 million. The increase resulted
primarily from increased bookings during the three months ended March 31, 2007, as discussed above.
The increase in total bookings also reflects an increase in orders for large engineered products,
which naturally have longer lead times, as well as expanded lead times at the request of certain
customers.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $47.5 million, or
21.8%, as compared with the same period in 2006. Gross profit margin for the three months ending
March 31, 2007 of 33.0% decreased from 33.3% for the same period in 2006. The decrease is
primarily attributable to a 32% increase in sales of original equipment, which is attributable to
all divisions, as compared with a 9% increase in sales of aftermarket products. Original equipment
generally carries a lower margin than aftermarket products. The increase in our installed base of
original equipment is expected to increase recurring aftermarket opportunities in future years.
The decrease is partially offset by increased sales in all of our divisions, which favorably
impacts our absorption of fixed costs, and cost savings achieved through our CIP and supply chain
initiatives, both of which have positively impacted each of our divisions. Our CIP initiative is
driving increased throughput on existing capacity, reduced cycle time, lean manufacturing and
reduced warranty costs. Our supply chain initiative is focused on materials cost savings through
low cost supply sources, long-term supply agreements and product outsourcing.

SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $22.9 million, or 12.7%, as
compared with the same period in 2006. Currency effects yielded an increase of approximately $6
million. The increase in SG&A is primarily attributable to an increase in employee-related costs
of $12.5 million due to continued investment in in-house capabilities and sales personnel to drive
long-term growth, as well as annual merit increases. The increase is also due to increases of $1.3
million and $1.7 million in travel and commissions expenses, respectively, in support of increased
bookings and sales and overall business growth. A decrease of $5.2 million in audit fees was
offset by an increase in other professional fees. SG&A as a percentage of sales for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 decreased 230 basis points as compared with the same period in 2006.
The decrease is attributable to leverage from higher sales, as well as ongoing efforts to contain
costs.

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $26.3 million, or
64.0%, as compared with the same period in 2006. The increase includes currency benefits of
approximately $5 million. The increase is primarily a result of the $47.5 million increase in
gross profit, partially offset by the $22.9 million increase in SG&A, as discussed above.
Operating margin increased 210 basis points, due primarily to the decrease in SG&A as a percentage
of sales, as discussed above.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $1.6 million, as
compared with the same period in 2006. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in
average debt outstanding during the period, partially offset by increased average interest rates.
Approximately 67% of our debt was at fixed rates at March 31, 2007, including the effects of $435.0
million notional interest rate swaps.
Interest income did not change for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared with the
same period in 2006. A lower average cash balance was offset by increased average interest rates.

Business Segments
We conduct our business through three business segments that represent our major product
types:
|
|
|
FPD for engineered pumps, industrial pumps and related services; |
|
|
|
|
FCD for industrial valves, manual valves, control valves, nuclear valves, valve actuators and related services; and |
|
|
|
|
FSD for precision mechanical seals and related services. |
We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segments operating
income. See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly
Report for further discussion of our segments. The key operating results for our three business
segments, FPD, FCD and FSD are discussed below.
Flowserve Pump Division
Through FPD, we design, manufacture and distribute highly engineered pumps, industrial pumps
and pump systems (collectively referred to as original equipment). FPD also manufactures
replacement parts and related equipment, and provides a full array of support services
(collectively referred to as aftermarket). FPD has 27 manufacturing facilities worldwide, of
which nine are located in North America, 11 in Europe, five in South America and two in Asia. FPD
also has more than 60 service centers, including those located in a manufacturing facility. We
believe that we are the largest pump manufacturer serving the oil and gas, chemical and power
generation industries, and the third largest pump manufacturer overall.

Bookings for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $162.6 million, or 32.8%,
as compared with the same period in 2006. The increase includes currency benefits of approximately
$31 million. Bookings for original equipment increased approximately $114 million, or 36%, and
represented 70% of the total bookings increase. Aftermarket bookings increased approximately $49
million, or 28%. Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMA), North America and South America
bookings increased $94.6 million, $45.3 million and $38.8 million, respectively, and are primarily
attributable to the oil and gas industry. These improvements were slightly offset by a decline in
bookings in the Asia Pacific region. The bookings growth in EMA was driven by large original
equipment bookings, predominantly for the oil and gas industry. Additionally, EMA and Latin
America had significant increases in the water and power industries, respectively.
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $90.6 million, or 27.6%, as
compared with the same period in 2006. The increase includes currency benefits of approximately
$19 million. Sales of original equipment increased approximately $76 million, or 47%, and result
from continued growth in original equipment bookings, which has occurred for an extended period of
time. Sales of aftermarket products increased approximately $15 million, or 10%. EMA sales
increased $62.4 million and original equipment sales in EMA represented 91% of total sales growth
for the area. Sales in North America increased $24.3 million, which is attributable to increases
of 20% and 16% in original equipment and aftermarket, respectively.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $22.7 million, or 24.1%,
as compared with the same period in 2006. Gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31,
2007 of 27.9% decreased from 28.7% for the same period in 2006. While both original equipment and
aftermarket sales increased, original equipment sales growth exceeded the growth in aftermarket.
As a result, original equipment sales increased to 58% of total sales as compared with 51% of total
sales for the same period in 2006. Original equipment generally carries a lower margin than
aftermarket.
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $14.7 million, or
54.4%, as compared with the same period in 2006. The increase includes currency benefits of
approximately $2 million. The increase was due primarily to increased gross profit of $22.7
million, partially offset by a $9.1 million increase in SG&A primarily related to increased
salaries, commissions, and travel in support of increased bookings and sales.
18
Backlog of $1.5 billion at March 31, 2007 increased by $248.8 million, or 19.7%, as compared
with December 31, 2006. Currency effects provided an increase of approximately $10 million.
Backlog growth is primarily a result of an extended period of bookings growth combined with longer
supplier and customer lead times and growth in the size of projects.
Flow Control Division
Our second largest business segment is FCD, which designs, manufactures and distributes a
broad portfolio of industrial valve products, including modulating and finite valves, actuators and
controls. FCD leverages its experience and application know-how by offering a complete menu of
engineered services to complement its expansive product portfolio. FCD has manufacturing and
service facilities in 19 countries around the world, with only five of its 20 manufacturing
operations located in the U.S. Based on independent industry sources, we believe that we are the
third largest industrial valve supplier on a global basis.

Bookings for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $41.4 million, or 15.5%,
as compared with the same period in 2006. The increase includes currency benefits of approximately
$15 million. The growth in bookings is primarily attributable to the sustained strength of our key
end-markets. Increased bookings in the process valve market resulted from strength in the North
American and Asian chemical business, with a notable contribution from China. Increased project
business for all valve offerings in the Asian chemical and North American oil and gas industries
also contributed to the improvement.
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $50.8 million, or 23.3%, as
compared with the same period in 2006. The increase includes currency benefits of approximately
$12 million. The increase is principally the result of strong North American project sales for all
significant areas of our valve portfolio. Sales of control valves increased due to satisfaction of
large orders into the Australian mining and Asian pulp and paper markets and by continued strength
in North America, across markets. We realized notable improvements in the process valve market
across Asia, specifically in the chemical and oil and gas industries. The fulfillment of several
significant Russian district heating orders received in the second half of 2006 also contributed to
the sales increase. In the first three months of 2007, we successfully implemented modest price
increases in an effort to mitigate the impact of increased metals cost and to reflect the increase
in manufacturing and supply chain lead times.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $17.7 million, or 23.5%,
as compared with the same period in 2006. Gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31,
2007 of 34.6% was comparable with the same period in 2006. This reflects higher sales levels,
which favorably impacts our absorption of fixed costs, and our implementation of various CIP and
supply chain initiatives. Offsetting these gains were the inflation in our materials and
conversion costs, metals price increases and a stronger concentration of original equipment in our
sales mix.
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $11.2 million, or
44.4%, as compared with the same period in 2006. The increase includes currency benefits of
approximately $2 million. The increase is principally attributable to the $17.7 million
improvement in gross profit, partially offset by $6.8 million of higher SG&A costs. The increased
SG&A reflects increased headcount cost of $4.2 million principally related to sales force personnel
and $1.0 million of higher external commissions
expense resulting from increased sales levels. As a key initiative for 2007, we continue to
evaluate our SG&A infrastructure costs and explore opportunities to reduce our cost platform,
including limiting additional growth in headcount and travel and by reducing professional fees.
SG&A as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased 200 basis points
as compared with the same period in 2006. The decrease is attributable to leverage from higher
sales, as well as ongoing efforts to contain costs, as noted previously.
Backlog of $360.0 million at March 31, 2007 increased by $45.7 million, or 14.5%, as compared
with December 31, 2006. Currency effects provided an increase of approximately $2 million. This
increase in backlog is primarily attributable to the excess of bookings over sales during the first
three months of 2007.
19
Flow Solutions Division
Through FSD, we engineer, manufacture and sell mechanical seals, auxiliary systems and parts,
and provide related services, principally to process industries and general industrial markets,
with similar products sold internally in support of FPD. FSD has added to its global operations and
now has nine manufacturing locations, four of which are located in the U.S. FSD operates 67 QRCs
worldwide, including 24 sites in North America, 16 in Europe, and the remainder in South America
and Asia. Our ability to rapidly deliver mechanical sealing technology through our global
engineering systems, our on-site engineers and our extensive network of QRCs represents a
significant competitive advantage. This business model has enabled FSD to establish a large number
of alliances with multi-national customers. Based on independent industry sources, we believe that
we are the second largest mechanical seal supplier in the world.

Bookings for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $12.7 million, or 9.9%,
as compared with the same period in 2006. This increase includes currency benefits of
approximately $3 million. The increase is due primarily to a $7.3 million increase in customer
bookings, which is primarily attributable to increased original equipment bookings in Asia Pacific
and North America, as well as a $5.4 million increase in interdivision bookings (which are
eliminated and are not included in consolidated bookings as disclosed above). The oil and gas and
chemical markets continue to be our strongest markets.
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $11.0 million, or 9.3%, as
compared with the same period in 2006. This increase includes currency benefits of approximately
$3 million. The increase is primarily attributable to South America, where a strong oil and gas
market continues to provide solid bookings and sales, and to Asia Pacific, where increased original
equipment and aftermarket bookings have contributed to increased sales.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $5.4 million, or 10.4%, as
compared with the same period in 2006. Gross profit margin for the three months ending March 31,
2007 of 44.3% increased from 43.8% for the same period in 2006. The improvement is due to
increased sales in all regions, which positively impacts our absorption of fixed costs, and a sales
mix shift in EMA toward more profitable aftermarket business. Gross margin was negatively impacted
by implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system in EMA.
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased by $1.5 million, or 6.4%,
as compared with the same period in 2006. This increase includes currency benefits of less than $1
million. The increase is due to a $5.4 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by a
$4.1 million increase in SG&A due primarily to growth in our global engineering and sales teams
that occurred in the latter part of 2006.
Backlog of $84.9 million at March 31, 2007 increased by $10.5 million, or 14.1%, as compared
with December 31, 2006. Currency had a negligible impact on backlog for the period. Backlog at
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 includes $19.3 million and $14.7 million, respectively, of
interdivision backlog (which is eliminated and not included in consolidated backlog). Backlog
growth is primarily a result of growth in original equipment bookings with longer lead times.
Capacity expansions that were completed in 2006 continue to support increased shipments, primarily
in North America and EMA, limit the increase in backlog and reduce the percentage of past due
backlog from prior year levels.

Cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our existing revolving credit
facility are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. Our cash balance at March 31, 2007 was
$38.0 million, as compared with $67.0 million at December 31, 2006.
The cash flows used by operating activities for the first three months of 2007 primarily
reflect a $15.0 million increase in net income, offset by a $48.8 million decrease in cash flows
from working capital, particularly due to higher inventory of $76.0 million, especially
project-related inventory required to support future shipments of products in backlog. During the
first part of the year, increases in working capital reduce cash flow. We have historically
derived a greater portion of our operating profit during the second half of the year, which is
consistent with our customers buying patterns. As a result, our operating cash flows generally
increase as the year progresses.
Our goal for days sales receivables outstanding (DSO) is 60 days. For the first three
months of 2007, we achieved a DSO of 65 days as compared with 66 days for the same period in 2006.
For reference purposes based on 2007 sales, an improvement of one day could provide approximately
$9 million in cash. Increases in inventory used $76.0 million of cash flow for 2007 compared with
a use of $13.3 million of cash flow for the same period in 2006. Inventory turns were 3.4 times at
March 31, 2007, compared with 4.0 times at March 31, 2006, reflecting the increase in inventory,
partially offset by the increase in sales. For reference purposes based on 2007 data, an
improvement of one turn could yield approximately $142 million in cash.
Cash flows used by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 were
$21.5 million, as compared with $11.8 million for the same period in 2006. Capital expenditures
during the three months ended March 31, 2007 were
$22.4 million, an increase of $10.0 million as
compared with the same period in 2006, which reflects increased spending to support capacity
expansion, enterprise resource planning application upgrades and information technology
infrastructure.
Cash flows provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 were
$65.8 million, as compared with $9.2 million for the same period in 2006. Cash inflows in 2007
were due primarily to $85.0 million in borrowings under our revolving line of credit. The
borrowings were used primarily to fund increased working capital needs, share repurchases,
increased capital spending and payments under our annual incentive program (which is generally
paid in March based on the prior years results). Cash outflows in 2007 include repurchase of
common shares for $30.6 million. Cash inflows in 2006 were due to $20.1 million in borrowings
under our revolving line of credit. Cash outflows in 2006 were due to net payments on long-term
debt, including $10.9 million of mandatory repayments using the proceeds from the sale of our
General Services Group, a discontinued operation that was sold effective December 31, 2005.
We believe cash flows from operating activities combined with availability under our existing
revolving credit agreement and our existing cash balance will be sufficient to enable us to meet
our cash flow needs for the next 12 months. Cash flows from operations could be adversely affected
by economic, political and other risks associated with sales of our products, operational factors,
competition, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in interest rates, among other
factors. See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements. We made no contributions to
our U.S. pension plans during the three months ended March 31, 2007. However, we expect to
contribute approximately $20 million during the third quarter of 2007.
On September 29, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to two
million shares of our outstanding common stock. Shares may be repurchased to offset potentially
dilutive effects of stock options issued under our equity-based compensation programs. We
repurchased 0.5 million shares for $25.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007, and
settled 0.1 million shares purchased in late 2006 for $5.2 million. To date, we have repurchased a
total of 1.8 million shares. We expect to conclude the program by the end of the second quarter of
2007.
On February 28, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized the payment of a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.15 per share, which was paid on April 11, 2007 to shareholders of record as of March
28, 2007. While we currently intend to pay regular quarterly dividends
in the foreseeable future, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by
our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on its assessment of our financial condition
and business outlook at the applicable time.
21
Acquisitions
We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities of various sizes. The cost and terms of any
financing to be raised in conjunction with any acquisition, including our ability to raise
economical capital, is a critical consideration in any such evaluation.
Capital Expenditures
Capital
expenditures were $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared
with $12.5 million for the same period in 2006. Capital expenditures in 2007 are focused on
capacity expansion, enterprise resource planning, information technology infrastructure and cost
reduction opportunities. Capital expenditures in 2006 were focused on capacity expansion,
enterprise resource planning application upgrades, information technology infrastructure and cost
reduction opportunities. For the full year 2007, our capital expenditures are expected to be
between approximately $85 million and $90 million. Certain of our facilities may face capacity
constraints in the foreseeable future, which may lead to higher capital expenditure levels.
Financing
Credit Facilities
On August 12, 2005, we entered into Credit Facilities comprised of a $600.0 million term loan
maturing on August 10, 2012 and a $400.0 million revolving line of credit, which can be utilized to
provide up to $300.0 million in letters of credit, expiring on August 12, 2010. At March 31, 2007
and December 31, 2006, we had $85.0 million and $0 outstanding under the revolving line of credit,
respectively. We had outstanding letters of credit of $90.5 million and $83.9 million at March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, which reduced borrowing capacity to $224.5 million and
$316.1 million, respectively.
Borrowings under our Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either
(1) the base rate (which is based on the greater of the prime rate most recently announced by the
administrative agent under our Credit Facilities or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%) or (2) LIBOR
plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the ratio of our total debt to consolidated
EBITDA, which as of March 31, 2007 was 1.5% for LIBOR borrowings.
The loans under our Credit Facilities are subject to mandatory repayment with, in general:
|
|
|
100% of the net cash proceeds of asset sales; and |
|
|
|
|
Unless we attain and maintain investment grade credit ratings: |
|
o |
|
50% of the proceeds of any equity offerings; and |
|
|
o |
|
100% of the proceeds of any debt issuances (subject to certain exceptions). |
We may prepay loans under our Credit Facilities in whole or in part, without premium or
penalty. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we made no payments under our Credit
Facilities. We have scheduled repayments of $1.4 million due in both the third and fourth quarters
of 2007.
Our obligations under the Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and
severally, by substantially all of our existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic
subsidiaries and 65% of the capital stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. In addition, prior to
our obtaining and maintaining investment grade credit ratings, our and the guarantors obligations
under the Credit Facilities are collateralized by substantially all of our and the guarantors
assets.
Additional discussion of our Credit Facilities, including amounts outstanding and applicable
interest rates, is included in Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, included
in this Quarterly Report.
We have entered into interest rate and currency swap agreements to hedge our exposure to cash
flows related to our Credit Facilities. These agreements are more fully described in Note 3 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements, included in this Quarterly Report, and in Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Accounts Receivable Factoring
Through our European subsidiaries, we engage in non-recourse factoring of certain accounts
receivable. The various agreements have different terms, including options for renewal and mutual
termination clauses. Our Credit Facilities, which are fully described in
22
Note 11 to our
consolidated financial statements, included in our 2006 Annual Report, limit factoring volume to
$75.0 million at any given point in time as defined by our Credit Facilities.
Debt Covenants and Other Matters
Our Credit Facilities contain leverage and interest coverage financial covenants. Under the
leverage covenant, the maximum permitted leverage ratio stepped down in the fourth quarter of 2006,
with a further step-down beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007. Under the interest coverage
covenant, the minimum required interest coverage ratio stepped up in the fourth quarter of 2006,
with a further step-up beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007. Compliance with these financial
covenants under our Credit Facilities is tested quarterly.
Our Credit Facilities include events of default usual for these types of credit facilities,
including nonpayment of principal or interest, violation of covenants, incorrectness of
representations and warranties, cross defaults and cross acceleration, bankruptcy, material
judgments, ERISA events, actual or asserted invalidity of the guarantees or the security documents,
and certain changes of control of our company. The occurrence of any event of default could result
in the acceleration of our and the guarantors obligations under the Credit Facilities. We
complied with the covenants through March 31, 2007.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are
based on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes contained within
this Quarterly Report. Our more critical accounting policies used in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements were discussed in our 2006 Annual Report. These critical
policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the first three months of 2007,
include:
|
|
|
Revenue Recognition; |
|
|
|
|
Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves; |
|
|
|
|
Reserves for Contingent Loss; |

Valuation of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets. |
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of
estimates and assumptions to determine certain of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
These estimates and assumptions are based upon what we believe is the best information available at
the time of the estimates or assumptions. The estimates and assumptions could change materially as
conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ
materially from those estimates. The significant estimates are reviewed quarterly with the Audit
Committee of our Board of Directors.
Based on an assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and
uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, we believe that our condensed
consolidated financial statements provide a meaningful and fair perspective of our consolidated
financial condition and results of operations. This is not to suggest that other general risk
factors, such as changes in worldwide demand, changes in material costs, performance of acquired
businesses and others, could not adversely impact our consolidated financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows in future periods. See Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements below.
ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
We have presented the information about accounting pronouncements not yet implemented in Note
1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Such statements include statements concerning future financial performance, future debt
and financing levels, investment objectives, implications of litigation and regulatory
investigations, and other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic
performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto. These statements are only predictions.
We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees.
Actual events or our results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or
implied, but not limited to, in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
typically identified by the use of terms such as, may, should, expect,
23
could, intend,
plan, anticipate, estimate, believe, continue, predict, potential or the negative of
such terms and other comparable terminology.
The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are based on our current
expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and
uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among
other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all
of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our
control. Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could be inaccurate. To the
extent that our assumptions differ from actual results, our ability to meet such forward-looking
statements may be significantly hindered.
The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all of the risks and
uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those presented in
certain forward-looking statements:
|
|
|
potential adverse consequences resulting from securities class action litigation and
other litigation to which we are a party, such as litigation involving asbestos-containing
material claims; |
|
|
|
|
the domestic and foreign government investigations regarding our participation in the
United Nations Oil-for-Food Program; |
|
|
|
|
our potential non-compliance with U.S. export/re-export control, economic sanctions and
import laws and regulations; |
|
|
|
|
our risk associated with certain of our foreign subsidiaries conducting business
operations and sales in certain countries that have been identified by the U.S. State
Department as state sponsors of terrorism; |
|
|
|
|
increased tax liabilities resulting from a recent audit of our tax returns by the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service, as well as potential costs and liabilities that may be associated
with likely future audits; |
|
|
|
|
a portion of our bookings may not lead to completed sales, and we may not be able to
convert bookings into revenues at acceptable profit margins, since such profit margins
cannot be assured nor can they be necessarily assumed to follow historical trends; |
|
|
|
|
the recording of increased deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future; |
|
|
|
|
an impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangibles could adversely
impact our consolidated financial condition and results of operations; |
|
|
|
|
economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations,
including military actions or trade embargoes that could affect customer markets, including
the continuing conflict in Iraq and its potential impact on Middle Eastern markets and
global petroleum producers; |
|
|
|
|
our sales are substantially dependent upon the petroleum, chemical, power and water
industries and any significant down turn in any one of these industries could adversely
impact such sales; |
|
|
|
|
our operations are dependent upon third-party suppliers whose failure to perform timely
could adversely affect our business operations; |
|
|
|
|
our dependence on our customers ability to make required capital investment and maintenance expenditures; |
|
|
|
|
risks associated with cost overruns on fixed-fee projects; |
|
|
|
|
the highly competitive markets in which we operate; |
|
|
|
|
environmental compliance costs and liabilities; |
|
|
|
|
work stoppages and other labor matters; |
|
|
|
|
our inability to protect our intellectual property in the U.S., as well as in foreign countries; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in obtaining raw materials at favorable prices; |
24
|
|
|
obligations under our defined benefit pension plans; |
|
|
|
|
liabilities that result from product liability and warranty claims; |
|
|
|
|
our outstanding indebtedness and the restrictive covenants in the agreements governing
our indebtedness limit our operating and financial flexibility; and |
|
|
|
|
our inability to continue to expand our market presence through acquisitions, and
unforeseen integration difficulties or costs resulting from acquisitions we do complete. |
These risks are more fully discussed in, and all forward-looking statements should be read in
light of, all of the factors discussed in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors included in this
Quarterly Report and in our 2006 Annual Report. The updated risk factors included in this
Quarterly Report are presented in addition to the risk factors disclosed in the 2006 Annual Report,
except to the extent modified in this Quarterly Report.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in
this Quarterly Report. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly
Report and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in
this Quarterly Report may increase with the passage of time. In light of the significant
uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report, the
inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or
any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report will be achieved.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on
our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to these risks and uncertainties.
Each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of the particular statement, and we do
not undertake to update any forward-looking statement.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We have market risk exposure arising from changes in interest rates and foreign currency
exchange rate movements.
Our earnings are impacted by changes in short-term interest rates as a result of borrowings
under our Credit Facilities, which bear interest based on floating rates. At March 31, 2007, after
the effect of interest rate swaps, we had $208.2 million of variable rate debt obligations
outstanding under our Credit Facilities with a weighted average interest rate of 6.91%. A
hypothetical change of 100-basis points in the interest rate for these borrowings, assuming
constant variable rate debt levels, would have changed interest expense by $0.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2007.
We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to
financial instruments including interest rate swaps, but we currently expect all counterparties
will continue to meet their obligations given their creditworthiness. As of both March 31, 2007
and December 31, 2006, we had $435.0 million of notional amount in outstanding interest rate swaps
with third parties with maturities through December 2009.
We employ a foreign currency hedging strategy to minimize potential losses in earnings or cash
flows from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. These strategies also minimize
potential gains from favorable exchange rate movements. Foreign currency exposures arise from
transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated transactions, denominated in a currency
other than an entitys functional currency and from translation of foreign-denominated assets and
liabilities into U.S. dollars. Based on a sensitivity analysis at March 31, 2007, a 10% adverse
change in the foreign currency exchange rates could impact our results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 by $3.4 million as shown below:

Exposures are hedged primarily with foreign currency forward contracts that generally
have maturity dates of less than one year. Our policy allows foreign currency coverage only for
identifiable foreign currency exposures and, therefore, we do not enter into foreign currency
contracts for trading purposes where the objective would be to generate profits. As of March 31,
2007, we had a U.S.
25
dollar equivalent of $337.6 million in outstanding forward contracts with third
parties, compared with $433.7 million at December 31, 2006.
Generally, we view our investments in foreign subsidiaries from a long-term perspective, and
therefore, do not hedge these investments. We use capital structuring techniques to manage our
investment in foreign subsidiaries as deemed necessary.
We realized gains (losses) associated with foreign currency translation of $4.8 million and
$5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which are included
in other comprehensive income. Transactional currency gains and losses arising from transactions
outside of our sites functional currencies and changes in fair value of certain forward contracts
are included in our consolidated results of operations. We realized foreign currency (losses)
gains of $(0.7) million and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, which is included in other (expense) income, net in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of income.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) are controls and other procedures
that are designed to ensure that the information that we are required to disclose in the reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In
connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, our management,
under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief
Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Based on this evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2007.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during
the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are party to the legal proceedings that are described in Note 8 to our condensed
consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Financial Statements. In addition to the
foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are named defendants in certain other lawsuits incidental to our
business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental proceedings all arising in
the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving us
and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty and the amount of any liability that could
arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management
does not expect these matters to have a material effect on our financial position, operating
results or cash flows.
We are a defendant in a large number of pending lawsuits (which include, in many cases,
multiple claimants) that seek to recover damages for personal injury allegedly caused by exposure
to asbestos-containing products manufactured and/or distributed by us in the past. Any such
products were encapsulated and used only as components of process equipment, and we do not believe
that any emission of respirable asbestos fibers occurred during the use of this equipment. We
believe that a high percentage of the applicable claims are covered by applicable insurance or
indemnities from other companies.
In 2003, related lawsuits were filed in federal court in the Northern District of Texas (the
Court), alleging that we violated federal securities laws. Since the filing of these cases, which
have been consolidated, the lead plaintiff has amended its complaint several times. The lead
plaintiffs current pleading is the fifth consolidated amended complaint (the Complaint). The
Complaint alleges that federal securities violations occurred between February 6, 2001 and
September 27, 2002 and names as defendants our company, C. Scott Greer, our former Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Renee J. Hornbaker, our former Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm,
and Banc of America Securities LLC and Credit Suisse First Boston LLC, which served as underwriters
for our two public stock offerings during the relevant period. The Complaint asserts claims under
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and
Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The lead plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory
damages, forfeiture by Mr. Greer and Ms. Hornbaker of unspecified incentive-based or equity-based
compensation and profits from any stock sales, and recovery of costs. On November 22, 2005, the
Court entered an order denying the defendants motions to dismiss the Complaint. The case is
currently set for trial on October 1, 2007. We continue to believe that the lawsuit is without
merit and are vigorously defending the case.
In 2005, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed purportedly on our behalf in the 193rd
Judicial District of Dallas County, Texas. The lawsuit names as defendants Mr. Greer, Ms.
Hornbaker, and current board members Hugh K. Coble, George T. Haymaker, Jr., William C. Rusnack,
Michael F. Johnston, Charles M. Rampacek, Kevin E. Sheehan, Diane C. Harris, James O. Rollans and
Christopher A. Bartlett. We are named as a nominal defendant. Based primarily on the purported
misstatements alleged in the above-described federal securities case, the plaintiff asserts claims
against the defendants for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste
of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. The plaintiff alleges that these purported violations of
state law occurred between April 2000 and the date of suit. The plaintiff seeks on our behalf an
unspecified amount of damages, injunctive relief and/or the imposition of a constructive trust on
defendants assets, disgorgement of compensation, profits or other benefits received by the
defendants from us, and recovery of attorneys fees and costs. We strongly believe that the suit
was improperly filed and have filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case. The Court has since
ordered the plaintiffs to replead. The trial is currently set for December 2007.
On March 14, 2006, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed purportedly on our behalf in
federal court in the Northern District of Texas. The lawsuit named as defendants Mr. Greer, Ms.
Hornbaker, and the following board members Mr. Coble, Mr. Haymaker, Mr. Kling, Mr. Rusnack, Mr.
Johnston, Mr. Rampacek, Mr. Sheehan, Ms. Harris, Mr. Rollans and Mr. Bartlett. We were named as a
nominal defendant. Based primarily on certain of the purported misstatements alleged in the
above-described federal securities case, the plaintiff asserted claims against the defendants for
breaches of fiduciary duty. The plaintiff alleged that the purported breaches of fiduciary duty
occurred between 2000 and 2004. The plaintiff sought on our behalf an unspecified amount of
damages, disgorgement by Mr. Greer and Ms. Hornbaker of salaries, bonuses, restricted stock and
stock options, and recovery of attorneys fees and costs. Pursuant to a motion filed by us, the
federal court dismissed that case on March 14, 2007, primarily on the basis that the case was not
properly filed in federal court. On or about March 27, 2007, the same plaintiff re-filed
essentially the same lawsuit naming the same defendants in the Supreme Court of the State of New
York. We strongly believe that this new lawsuit was improperly filed in the Supreme Court of the
State of New York as well and have filed a motion seeking dismissal of the case.
On February 7, 2006, we received a subpoena from the SEC seeking documents and information
relating primarily to products that two of our foreign subsidiaries delivered to Iraq from 1996
through 2003 under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. We believe that the SECs investigation
is focused primarily on whether any inappropriate payments were made to Iraqi officials in
27
violation of the federal securities laws. We subsequently learned that the United States
Department of Justice is investigating the same allegations. In addition, two foreign subsidiaries
have been contacted by governmental authorities in their respective countries concerning their
involvement in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program. These investigations include periods prior
to, as well as subsequent to, our acquisition of certain of the foreign operations involved in the
investigations. We may be subject to certain liabilities if violations are found regardless of
whether they relate to periods before or subsequent to our acquisition.
We believe that both the domestic and foreign governmental authorities are investigating other
companies connection with the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program.
We engaged outside counsel in February 2006 to conduct an investigation of our foreign
subsidiaries participation in the United Nations Oil-for-Food program. The Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors has been regularly monitoring this situation since the receipt of the SEC
subpoena and assumed direct oversight of the investigation in January 2007. We currently expect
this internal investigation will be completed during the second quarter of 2007.
Our internal investigation has included, among other things, a detailed review of contracts
with the Iraqi government under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program during 1996 through 2003, a
forensic review of the accounting records associated with these contracts, and interviews of
persons with knowledge of the events in question. Our investigation has found evidence to date
that, during the years 2001 through 2003, certain non-U.S. personnel at the two foreign
subsidiaries authorized payments in connection with certain of our product sales under the United
Nations Oil-for-Food Program totaling approximately 0.6 million, which were subsequently
deposited by third parties into Iraqi-controlled bank accounts. These payments were not authorized
under the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program and were not properly documented in the subsidiaries
accounting records, but were expensed as paid. During the course of the investigation, certain
other potential issues involving non-U.S. personnel were identified at one of the foreign
subsidiaries, which are currently under review.
We have taken certain disciplinary actions against persons who engaged in misconduct, violated
our ethics policies or failed to cooperate fully in the investigation, including terminating the
employment of certain non-U.S. senior management personnel at one of the foreign subsidiaries.
Certain other non-U.S. senior management personnel at that facility involved in the above conduct
had been previously separated from our company for other reasons. Additional disciplinary actions
may be taken as our investigation continues.
We will continue to fully cooperate in the domestic and foreign governmental investigations.
These investigations are in progress but, at this-point, are incomplete. Accordingly, we cannot
predict the outcome of these investigations at this time. If the domestic or foreign authorities
take enforcement action with regard to these investigations, we may be required to pay fines,
disgorge profits, consent to injunctions against future conduct or suffer other penalties, which
could materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In March 2006, we initiated a process to determine our compliance posture with respect to U.S.
export control laws and regulations. Upon initial investigation, it appeared that some product
transactions and technology transfers were not re-exported in full compliance with U.S. export
control laws and regulations. As a result, in conjunction with outside counsel, we are currently
involved in a systematic process to conduct further review, validation, and voluntary disclosure of
export violations discovered as part of this review process. We currently believe this process
will not be substantially complete until the end of 2008, given the complexity of the export laws
and the current scope of the investigation. Any violations of U.S. export control laws and
regulations that are identified and disclosed to the U.S. government may result in civil or
criminal penalties, including fines and/or other penalties. Because our review into this issue is
ongoing, we are currently unable to determine the full extent of any confirmed violations or
determine the nature or total amount of potential penalties to which we might be subject to in the
future. Given that the resolution of this matter is uncertain at this time, we are not able to
reasonably estimate the maximum amount of liability that could result from final resolution of this
matter. We cannot currently predict whether the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a
material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to do business outside the U.S. or
on our financial condition.
We have been involved as a potentially responsible party at former public waste disposal sites
that may be subject to remediation under pending government procedures. The sites are in various
stages of evaluation by federal and state environmental authorities. The projected cost of
remediation at these sites, as well as our alleged fair share allocation, is uncertain and
speculative until all studies have been completed and the parties have either negotiated an
amicable resolution or the matter has been judicially resolved. At each site, there are many other
parties who have similarly been identified, and the identification and location of additional
parties is continuing under applicable federal or state law. Many of the other parties identified
are financially strong and solvent companies that appear able to pay their share of the remediation
costs. Based on our information about the waste disposal practices at these sites and the
environmental regulatory process in general, we believe that it is likely that ultimate remediation
liability costs for each site will be
28
apportioned among all liable parties, including site owners and waste transporters, according
to the volumes and/or toxicity of the wastes shown to have been disposed of at the sites. We
believe that our exposure for existing disposal sites will be less than $100,000.
We are also a defendant in several other lawsuits, including product liability claims, that
are insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, arising in the ordinary course of business.
Based on currently available information, we believe that we have adequately accrued estimated
probable losses for such lawsuits.
Although none of the aforementioned potential liabilities can be quantified with absolute
certainty except as otherwise indicated above, we have established reserves covering exposures
relating to contingencies, to the extent believed to be reasonably estimable and probable, which we
believe to be reasonable based on past experience and available facts. While additional exposures
beyond these reserves could exist, they currently cannot be estimated. We will continue to evaluate
these potential contingent loss exposures and, if they develop, recognize expense as soon as such
losses become probable and can be reasonably estimated.
We are also involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, none of which
we believe to be material to our business, operations or overall financial condition. However,
resolutions or dispositions of claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have a
significant impact on our operating results for the reporting period in which any such resolution
or disposition occurs.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There are numerous factors that affect our business and results of operations, many of which
are beyond our control. In addition to other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you
should carefully read and consider Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part I, and Item 7. Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part II of our 2006
Annual Report, which contain a description of significant factors that might cause the actual
results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or
desired. Set forth below are two risk factors that have been modified or have materially changed
from the risk factors discussed in our 2006 Annual Report. The risks described in this Quarterly
Report and in our 2006 Annual Report are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks
and uncertainties are currently deemed immaterial based on managements assessment of currently
available information, which remains subject to change, however, new risks that are currently
unknown to us may surface in the future which materially adversely affect our business, financial
condition, operating results or cash flow in the future.
The ongoing domestic and foreign government investigations regarding our participation in the
United Nations Oil-for-Food Program could materially adversely affect our Company.
On February 7, 2006, we received a subpoena from the SEC seeking documents and information
relating primarily to products that two of our foreign subsidiaries delivered to Iraq from 1996

on our financial condition.

Flowserve Corporation Officer Severance Plan
As previously disclosed, on December 14, 2006 our Board of Directors and its Organization and
Compensation Committee approved a revised severance plan for our senior executive officers and
other corporate officers (Officers). In May 2007, we finalized and executed the Flowserve
Corporation Officer Severance Plan (the Plan) that, among other things, provides for certain
benefits to our Officers if their employment is terminated as a result of a reduction in force or
without cause. The Officers covered under the Plan will receive the following benefits, where
eligible: (i) two years of then base salary, not including any other financial perquisites, payable
bi-weekly in accordance with the Companys regular payroll schedule; and (ii) an amount equivalent
to one year annual incentive payment (AIP) at target payable when the next AIP bonus is payable
to continuing Officers. In addition, in order to receive such payments, the Officers covered under
the Plan must comply with one year non-competition agreements and must execute a release
agreement that contains certain cooperation clauses. The Plan will automatically expire in five
years from the adoption date unless renewed by the Organization and Compensation Committee. The
Plan may be earlier modified or terminated by the Organization and Compensation Committee, subject
to certain restrictions.

Employment Agreement with Mark A. Blinn
As previously disclosed, in December 2006 we reached an agreement in principle with Mark A.
Blinn, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, subject to the finalization of a
mutually agreeable written contract. On May 7, 2007, we entered into an Employment Agreement with
Mr. Blinn (the Agreement). The Agreement, among other things, provides that if Mr. Blinn is not
promoted to Chief Executive Officer upon the departure of Lewis M. Kling, our current President and
Chief Executive Officer, or if another person is appointed Chief Operations Officer prior to Mr.
Klings departure, then he may elect, within 30 days of receiving notification from us that he will
not be so promoted, to resign and (i) Mr. Blinns then unvested stock options and restricted stock
grants will immediately vest and (ii) Mr. Blinn will be eligible for severance benefits as if he
was terminated without cause under the Plan. However, Mr. Blinn is obligated, if he elects to so
resign, to continue to furnish up to an additional 120 days of transitional support to us, in his
then current job function and at his then current salary, if requested by us. Additionally, the
Agreement provides that, if Mr. Blinn dies or becomes disabled, as that term is defined in the
Employment Agreement, and we terminate his employment, Mr. Blinns unvested stock options and
restricted stock will immediately vest and Mr. Blinn (or his estate) would become eligible for
severance benefits under the Plan.

As previously disclosed, Messrs. Hugh K. Coble and George T. Haymaker, Jr., current members of
