FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
(Unaudited)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012, the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, of Flowserve Corporation, are unaudited. In management’s 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 September 30, 2012 ("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 presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 ("2011 Annual Report").
European Sovereign Debt Crisis – At September 30, 2012, we had no direct investments in European sovereign or non-sovereign debt. However, certain of our defined benefit plans hold investments in European equity and fixed income securities as discussed in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report. Other than broad, macro-level economic impacts, including foreign exchange rate impacts, we did not experience any direct or measurable disruptions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 related to the European sovereign debt. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the impact of any future developments in the region on our current business, our customers and suppliers and the state of the global economy.
Events in North Africa and Middle East – As previously disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report, during 2011, political and economic conditions in North Africa caused us to experience shipment delays to this region. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, there was no impact to operating income due to delayed shipments to this region. The preponderance of our physical assets in the region are located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and have, to date, not been significantly affected by the unrest elsewhere in the region.
Accounting Policies
Significant accounting policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, are detailed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report.
Accounting Developments
Pronouncements Implemented
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs," which clarifies the requirements in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in order to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"). The amendments do not result in a major change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820, but clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and change particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Our adoption of ASU No. 2011-04, effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income," which specifies that an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This amendment also requires an entity to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05," to defer the requirement to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. Our adoption of ASU Nos. 2011-05 and 2011-12, effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents





In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment," which specifies that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Our adoption of ASU No. 2011-08, effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
 Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45, "Balance Sheet - Offsetting," or ASC 815-10-45, "Derivatives and Hedging - Overall," or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2012. The disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-11 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," which specifies that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Unless an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of such an asset is less than its carrying amount, it would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset in that year. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2012-02 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
2.
Acquisition
Lawrence Pumps, Inc.
As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report, effective October 28, 2011, we acquired for inclusion in Engineered Product Division ("EPD"), 100% of Lawrence Pumps, Inc ("LPI"), a privately-owned, U.S.-based pump manufacturer. The final purchase price of $88.2 million reflects immaterial adjustments to goodwill and current liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. LPI specializes in the design, development and manufacture of engineered centrifugal slurry pumps for critical services within the petroleum refining, petrochemical, pulp and paper and energy markets. No pro forma financial information has been presented due to immateriality.
3.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
We established the Flowserve Corporation Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2010 Plan") effective January 1, 2010. This shareholder-approved plan authorizes the issuance of up to 2,900,000 shares of our common stock in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units and performance-based units (collectively referred to as "Restricted Shares"), stock appreciation rights and bonus stock. Of the 2,900,000 shares of common stock authorized under the 2010 Plan, 2,149,479 were available for issuance as of September 30, 2012. In addition to the 2010 Plan, we also maintain the Flowserve Corporation 2004 Stock Compensation Plan (the "2004 Plan"), which was established on April 21, 2004. The 2004 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock through grants of Restricted Shares, stock options and other equity-based awards. Of the 3,500,000 shares of common stock authorized under the 2004 Plan, 275,945 were available for issuance as of September 30, 2012. No stock options have been granted since 2006.
 Restricted Shares – Awards of Restricted Shares 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 shares. We had unearned compensation of $38.7 million and $27.0 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately one year. These amounts will be recognized into net earnings in prospective periods as the awards vest. The total fair value of Restricted Shares vested during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The total fair value of Restricted Shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $36.4 million and $35.0 million, respectively.
We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $6.9 million ($10.5 million pre-tax) and $4.9 million ($7.4 million pre-tax) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $17.1 million ($25.9 million pre-tax) and $15.9 million ($23.7 million pre-tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Unvested Restricted Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2012, includes approximately 325,000 units with performance-based vesting provisions. Performance-based units are issuable in common stock and vest upon the achievement of pre-defined performance targets, primarily based on our average annual return on net assets over a three-year period as compared with the same measure for a defined peer group for the same period. Most units were granted in three annual grants since January 1, 2010 and have a vesting percentage between 0% and 200% depending on the achievement of the specific performance targets. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over a cliff-vesting period of 36 months, based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, as adjusted for anticipated forfeitures. During the performance period, earned and unearned compensation expense is adjusted based on changes in the expected achievement of the performance targets. Vesting provisions range from 0 to approximately 644,000 shares based on performance targets. As of September 30, 2012, we estimate vesting of approximately 502,000 shares based on expected achievement of performance targets.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges
Our risk management and derivatives policy specifies the conditions under which we may enter into derivative contracts. See Notes 1 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report and Note 7 of this Quarterly Report for additional information on our derivatives. We enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge our cash flow risks associated with transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency of the operation engaging in the transaction. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $571.2 million and $481.2 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding forward exchange contracts with third parties. At September 30, 2012, the length of forward exchange contracts currently in place ranged from one day to 15 months. 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 September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $300.0 million and $330.0 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding interest rate swaps with third parties. All interest rate swaps are highly effective. At September 30, 2012, the maximum remaining length of any interest rate swap contract in place was approximately 33 months.
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 exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. If necessary, we would adjust the values of our derivative contracts for our or our counterparties’ credit risks. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.

Senior Notes
On September 11, 2012, we completed a public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due September 15, 2022 ("Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes bear an interest rate of 3.50% per year, payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2013. The Senior Notes were priced at 99.615% of par value, reflecting a discount to the aggregate principal amount.
At any time prior to June 15, 2022, we have the right to redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed; or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the Senior Notes being redeemed discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points. In addition, at any time on or after June 15, 2022, we may redeem the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed. In each case, we will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.
The Senior Notes are unsecured and are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries that are guarantors under our primary credit facility. The guarantees will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged when: the subsidiary is sold or sells all of its assets; the requirement for legal or covenant defeasance or to discharge our obligations has been satisfied; or upon the delivery of an officer's certificate to the trustee that such guarantor does not guarantee our obligations under our primary bank credit facility. The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our other unsecured indebtedness.
We used a portion of the net proceeds of the Senior Notes offering to repay the $250.0 million outstanding principal balance on the Bridge Loan (described below). We used the remaining portion of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repayment of the outstanding balance on the Prior Revolving Credit Facility (described below) and the repurchase of shares of our common stock (as discussed in Note 13).

Senior Credit Facility
On August 20, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as swingline lender, letter of credit issuer and administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (together, the “Lenders”), providing for term debt and a revolving credit facility. The credit agreement provides for an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion, including a $400.0 million term loan facility with a maturity date of August 20, 2017 (“Term Loan Facility”) and an $850.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of August 20, 2017 (“Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $300.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $30.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. Subject to certain conditions, we have the right to increase the amount of the Term Loan Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $250.0 million. Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. The Lenders have agreed to release such guarantees if we achieve certain credit ratings. We had not achieved these ratings as of September 30, 2012.
We used all of the $400.0 million proceeds advanced under the Term Loan Facility, along with approximately $217 million advanced under the Revolving Credit Facility, to repay all outstanding indebtedness under our then-existing term loan ("Prior Term Loan Facility") and revolving credit facility (“Prior Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to our then-existing credit agreement dated as of December 14, 2010, as amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). In connection with this repayment, our outstanding letters of credit under the Prior Credit Agreement were transferred to the Revolving Credit Facility, and we terminated the Prior Credit Agreement on August 20, 2012. Future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to various conditions, including the absence of any default under the Senior Credit Facility.
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility or the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. We had outstanding letters of credit of $156.3 million and $147.4 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which reduced our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility and Prior Revolving Credit Facility to $693.7 million and $352.6 million, respectively.
The Senior Credit Facility contains, among other things, covenants defining our and our subsidiaries' ability to dispose of assets, merge, pay dividends, repurchase or redeem capital stock and indebtedness, incur indebtedness and guarantees, create liens, enter into agreements with negative pledge clauses, make certain investments or acquisitions, enter into transactions with affiliates or engage in any business activity other than our existing business. The Senior Credit Facility also contains covenants requiring us to deliver certificates of compliance to the Lenders regarding our financial statements for each fiscal quarter and fiscal year. The Senior Credit Facility requires us to have a maximum permitted leverage ratio of 3.25 times debt to total Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) and a minimum interest coverage of 3.25 times Consolidated EBITDA to total interest expense. Our compliance with these financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facility is tested quarterly.
We may prepay loans under our Senior Credit Facility in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time. A commitment fee, which is payable quarterly on the daily unused portions of the Senior Credit Facility, was 0.225% during the period ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we made scheduled repayments of $12.5 million under our Prior Credit Agreement. We made no mandatory repayment or optional payments under the Prior Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2012, with the exception of the repayment of all outstanding indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement at August 20, 2012 with proceeds advanced under the Senior Credit Facility. We have scheduled repayments of $5.0 million due in each of the next four quarters under our Senior Credit Facility. Our Senior Credit Facility bears a floating rate of interest, and we have entered into $300.0 million of notional amount of interest rate swaps at September 30, 2012 to hedge exposure to floating interest rates.

Bridge Loan
On June 15, 2012, we entered into a loan agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto, providing for a term loan with an aggregate commitment of $250.0 million for a term of 364 days (“Bridge Loan”). The proceeds from the Bridge Loan were used to fund our share repurchase program described in Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. The Bridge Loan was repaid in its entirety in the third quarter of 2012 using a portion of the net proceeds from the Senior Notes offering.

European Letter of Credit Facilities
On October 30, 2009, we entered into a 364-day unsecured European Letter of Credit Facility ("European LOC Facility") with an initial commitment of €125.0 million. The European LOC Facility is renewable annually and is used for contingent obligations in respect of surety and performance bonds, bank guarantees and similar obligations with maturities up to five years. We renewed the European LOC Facility in October 2012 for an additional 364-day period and amended certain provisions to conform to those in our Senior Credit Facility and Senior Notes. We had outstanding letters of credit drawn on the European LOC Facility of €62.0 million ($79.7 million) and €81.0 million ($105.0 million) as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Our ability to issue additional letters of credit under our previous European Letter of Credit Facility ("Old European LOC Facility"), which had a commitment of €110.0 million, expired November 9, 2009. We had outstanding letters of credit written against the Old European LOC Facility of €3.4 million ($4.4 million) and €12.2 million ($15.8 million) as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Certain banks are parties to both facilities and are managing their exposures on an aggregated basis. As such, the commitment under the European LOC Facility is reduced by the face amount of existing letters of credit written against the Old European LOC Facility prior to its expiration. After consideration of outstanding commitments under both facilities, the available capacity under the European LOC Facility was €122.7 million ($157.8 million) as of September 30, 2012, of which €62.0 million ($79.7 million) has been utilized.
6.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
On September 11, 2012, we completed a public offering of Senior Notes that are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of our 100% owned domestic subsidiaries. In accordance with Rule 3−10 of Regulation S−X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, the following condensed consolidating financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Flowserve Corporation (referred to as “Parent” for the purpose of this note only) on a Parent−only (Issuer) basis, the combined guarantor subsidiaries on a guarantor−only basis, the combined non-guarantor subsidiaries on a non-guarantor-only basis and elimination adjustments necessary to arrive at the information for the Parent, guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Investments in subsidiaries have been accounted for using the equity method for this presentation.

Fair Value
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models may be applied. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized by hierarchical levels based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Recurring fair value measurements are limited to investments in derivative instruments and certain equity securities. The fair value measurements of our derivative instruments are determined using models that maximize the use of the observable market inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies, and are classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of our derivatives are included in Note 4. The fair value measurements of our investments in equity securities are determined using quoted market prices and are classified as Level I. The fair values of our investments in equity securities, and changes thereto, are immaterial to our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
The fair value of our debt, excluding the Senior Notes, was estimated using interest rates on similar debt recently issued by companies with credit metrics similar to ours and is classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of our debt is included in Note 5 and, except for the Senior Notes, approximates fair value. The estimated fair value of our Senior Notes at September 30, 2012 was $507.8 million compared to the carrying value of $498.1 million. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes is based on Level I quoted market rates. The carrying amounts of our other financial instruments (i.e., accounts receivable, net and accounts payable) approximated fair value at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Equity Method Investments
As of September 30, 2012, we had investments in eight joint ventures (one located in each of Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates and two located in each of China and India) that were accounted for using the equity method. Summarized below is the combined financial statement information of the joint ventures, based on the most recent financial information (unaudited) for those joint ventures:

The $19.1 million and $20.0 million reduction in revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the same periods in 2011 was primarily attributed to our Engineered Product Division ("EPD") joint venture in Japan and our Flow Control Division ("FCD") joint venture in India.
The provision for income taxes is based on the tax laws and rates in the countries in which our investees operate. The taxation regimes vary not only by their nominal rates, but also by the allowability of deductions, credits and other benefits. Our share of net income is reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

Legal Matters and Contingencies
Asbestos-Related Claims
We are a defendant in a substantial number of lawsuits that seek to recover damages for personal injury allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured and/or distributed by our heritage companies in the past. While the overall number of asbestos-related claims has generally declined in recent years, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue, or that the average cost per claim will not further increase. Asbestos-containing materials incorporated into any such products were primarily encapsulated and used as internal components of process equipment, and we do not believe that any significant emission of asbestos fibers occurred during the use of this equipment.
Our practice is to vigorously contest and resolve these claims, and we have been successful in resolving a majority of claims with little or no payment. Historically, a high percentage of resolved claims have been covered by applicable insurance or

indemnities from other companies, and we believe that a substantial majority of existing claims should continue to be covered by insurance or indemnities. Accordingly, we have recorded a liability for our estimate of the most likely settlement of asserted claims and a related receivable from insurers or other companies for our estimated recovery, to the extent we believe that the amounts of recovery are probable and not otherwise in dispute. While unfavorable rulings, judgments or settlement terms regarding these claims could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, we currently believe the likelihood is remote. Additionally, we have claims pending against certain insurers that, if resolved more favorably than reflected in the recorded receivables, would result in discrete gains in the applicable quarter. We are currently unable to estimate the impact, if any, of unasserted asbestos-related claims, although future claims would also be subject to then existing indemnities and insurance coverage.
United Nations Oil-for-Food Program
In mid-2006, French authorities began an investigation of over 170 French companies, of which our French subsidiary was included, concerning suspected inappropriate activities conducted in connection with the United Nations Oil for Food Program. As anticipated and as previously disclosed, the French investigation of our French subsidiary was formally opened in the first quarter of 2010, and our French subsidiary has filed a formal response with the French court. In July 2012, the French court ruled against our procedural motions to challenge the constitutionality of the charges and quash the indictment, and the French Court ruling is currently proceeding through a formal review process. We currently do not expect to incur additional case resolution costs of a material amount in this matter; however, if the French authorities take enforcement action against our French subsidiary regarding its investigation, we may be subject to monetary and non-monetary penalties, which we currently do not believe will have a material adverse financial impact on our company.
In addition to the governmental investigation referenced above, on June 27, 2008, the Republic of Iraq filed a civil suit in federal court in New York against 93 participants in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program, including us and our two foreign subsidiaries that participated in the program. There have been no material developments in this case since it was initially filed. We intend to vigorously contest the suit, and we believe that we have valid defenses to the claims asserted. While we cannot predict the outcome of the suit at the present time, we do not currently believe the resolution of this suit will have a material adverse financial impact on our company.
Other
We are currently involved as a potentially responsible party at seven former public waste disposal sites in various stages of evaluation or remediation. The projected cost of remediation at these sites, as well as our alleged "fair share" allocation, will remain uncertain 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. 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 financial exposure for existing disposal sites will not be materially in excess of accrued reserves.
We are also a defendant in a number of other lawsuits, including product liability claims, that are insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, arising in the ordinary course of business, and we are also involved in other uninsured routine litigation incidental to our business. We currently believe none of such litigation, either individually or in the aggregate, is material to our business, operations or overall financial condition. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and resolutions or dispositions of claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the reporting period in which any such resolution or disposition occurs.
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 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 and update the reserves as necessary and appropriate.

After consideration of our intent to maintain fully funded status, we currently anticipate our contribution to our U.S. pension plan in 2012 will remain at the currently contributed amount of $7.0 million, excluding direct benefits paid. See additional discussion of our retirement and postretirement benefits in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report.

Shareholders’ Equity
Dividends – On February 20, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock from $0.32 per share to $0.36 per share payable quarterly beginning on April 13, 2012. Generally, our dividend date-of-record is in the last month of the quarter and the dividend is paid the following month.
Share Repurchase Program – On May 31, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors endorsed an updated capital structure strategy. A part of this capital structure strategy includes returning additional capital more quickly to shareholders through an expanded share repurchase program of $1.0 billion. The $1.0 billion share repurchase program authorization included approximately $233 million of remaining capacity under our prior share repurchase program, which was originally approved by our Board of Directors on September 12, 2011 and replenished on December 15, 2011. Our share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, and we reserve the right to limit or terminate the repurchase program at anytime without notice.
As a part of the $1.0 billion share repurchase program, on June 14, 2012, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase program (“ASR Program”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as agent for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, under which we agreed to repurchase an aggregate of $300.0 million of our common stock. Under the ASR Program, we paid $300.0 million and received an initial delivery of 2,260,738 shares, representing 80% of the ASR Program's value at the then-current price of $106.16 per share. The remaining 20% of the ASR Program's value will be delivered at program settlement, with the final number of shares to be repurchased based on the volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the repurchase period, less an agreed upon discount and adjusted for the initial share delivery. Under the terms of the ASR Program, at settlement, we could either receive additional shares from the counterparty or be required to deliver additional shares or cash, at our option, to the counterparty. The ASR Program will be complete by the end of 2012.
The ASR Program was accounted for as two separate transactions: (i) as shares of common stock acquired in a treasury stock transaction and (ii) as a forward contract indexed to our own common stock. The initial delivery of shares resulted in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted net earnings per share from the effective date of the ASR Program. We have determined that the forward contract indexed to our common stock met all of the applicable criteria for equity classification. The ASR Program was initially funded through a combination of cash on hand, existing capacity on our revolving credit facility and proceeds from the $250.0 million Bridge Loan.
We repurchased 826,082 shares of our outstanding common stock for $101.0 million, and 168,750 shares for $15.1 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Inclusive of the ASR Program's 2,260,738 initial share delivery, representing 80% of the program's value, we repurchased 4,318,085 shares of our outstanding common stock for $473.9 million, and 381,250 shares for $41.1 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, we have $523.7 million of remaining capacity under our current share repurchase program, after consideration of the full $300.0 million value of the ASR Program.
14.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we earned $144.6 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $37.8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.1%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we earned $421.7 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $112.9 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 26.8%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations and a net reduction of our reserve for uncertain tax positions due to the lapse of the statute of limitations in certain jurisdictions.
For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we earned $140.0 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $32.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 22.9%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we earned $407.6 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $103.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.5%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations and a net reduction of our reserve for uncertain tax positions due to the lapse of the statute of limitations in certain jurisdictions. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations and a net reduction of our reserve for uncertain tax positions due to the lapse of the statute of limitations in certain jurisdictions.
As of September 30, 2012, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $10.1 million from December 31, 2011, due to the net impacts of currency translation adjustments and expiration of statutes. With limited exception, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax audits for years through 2007 or non-U.S. income tax audits for years through 2004. We are currently under examination for various years in China, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, the U.S., Venezuela and Vietnam.
It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the effective tax rate will be impacted by the resolution of some or all of the matters audited by various taxing authorities. It is also reasonably possible that we will have the statute of limitations close in various taxing jurisdictions within the next 12 months. As such, we estimate we could record a reduction in our tax expense of between $7.8 million and $22.6 million within the next 12 months.
15.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Our Company
We believe that we are a world-leading manufacturer and aftermarket service provider of comprehensive flow control systems. We develop and manufacture precision-engineered flow control equipment integral to the movement, management and protection of the flow of materials in our customers’ critical processes. Our product portfolio of pumps, valves, seals, automation and aftermarket services supports global infrastructure industries, including oil and gas, chemical, power generation and water management, as well as general industrial markets, on an integrated basis where our products and services add value. Through our manufacturing platform and global network of Quick Response Centers ("QRCs"), we offer a broad array of aftermarket equipment services, such as installation, advanced diagnostics, repair and retrofitting. We currently employ approximately 17,000 employees in more than 50 countries.
Our business model is significantly influenced by the capital spending of global infrastructure industries for the placement of new products into service and aftermarket services for existing operations. The worldwide installed base of our products is an important source of aftermarket revenue, where products are expected to ensure the maximum operating time of many key industrial processes. Over the past several years, we have significantly invested in our aftermarket strategy to provide local support to maximize our customers' investment in our offerings, as well as to provide business stability during various economic cycles. The aftermarket business, which is served by our network of 175 QRCs located around the globe, provides a variety of service offerings for our customers including spare parts, service solutions, product life cycle solutions and other value-added services, and is generally a higher margin business and a key component of our profitable growth strategy.
Our operations are conducted through three business segments that are referenced throughout this MD&A:
EPD for long lead-time, custom and other highly-engineered pumps and pump systems, mechanical seals, auxiliary systems and replacement parts and related services;
IPD for engineered and pre-configured industrial pumps and pump systems and related products and services; and
FCD for engineered and industrial valves, control valves, actuators and controls and related services.
Our business segments share a focus on industrial flow control technology and have a high number of common customers. These segments also have complementary product offerings and technologies that are often combined in applications that provide us a net competitive advantage. Our segments also benefit from our global footprint and our economies of scale in reducing administrative and overhead costs to serve customers more cost effectively. For example, our segment leadership all reports to our COO, and the segments share leadership for operational support functions such as research and development, marketing and supply chain.
The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 50 well-respected brand names such as Worthington, IDP, Valtek, Limitorque, Durco, Edward, Anchor/Darling and Durametallic, which we believe to be one of the most comprehensive in the industry. Our products and services are sold either directly or through designated channels to more than 10,000 companies, including some of the world’s leading engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") firms, original equipment manufacturers, distributors and end users.
We continue to build on our geographic breadth through our QRC network with the goal to be positioned as near to customers as possible 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 is equally imperative to continuously improve our global operations. We continue to expand our global supply chain capability to meet global customer demands and ensure the quality and timely delivery of our products. We continue to devote resources to improving the supply chain processes across our divisions to find areas of synergy and cost reduction and to improve 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 managing warranty costs as a percentage of sales across our global operations, through the assistance of a focused Continuous Improvement Process ("CIP") initiative. The goal of the CIP initiative, which includes lean manufacturing, six sigma business management strategy and value engineering, is to maximize service fulfillment to customers through on-time delivery, reduced cycle time and quality at the highest internal productivity.
During the first nine months of 2012, we experienced improved bookings despite an environment of continued global macroeconomic uncertainty. The oil and gas industry experienced stable conditions, while the chemical industry saw increased activity, driven by Asia Pacific and Middle Eastern countries accelerating investment in their chemical processing capabilities, and also in North America, as producers invested to utilize natural gas as a low-cost feedstock. We experienced a modest decline in bookings into Europe, as economic conditions in the region remain challenged. In the power generation industry, we experienced a slowing in the level of investment during the period as the industry awaits further clarity on the environmental regulations to take effect in the U.S. and certain other countries.

We continue to experience favorable conditions in our aftermarket business, which has been driven by our customers' need to maintain continuing operations across several industries and the expansion of our aftermarket capabilities through our integrated solutions offerings. Our pursuit of major capital projects globally and our investment in our ability to serve our customers in a local manner remain key components of our long-term growth strategy, and also provide stability during various economic periods. We believe that our commitment to localize service support capabilities close to our customers' operations through our QRC network has provided us with the opportunity to grow our market share in the aftermarket portion of our business.
We believe that with our customer relationships, global presence and highly-regarded technical capabilities, we will continue to have opportunities in our core industries; however, we face challenges affecting many companies in our industry with a significant multinational presence, such as economic, political, currency and other risks.
As previously disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report, during 2011, political and economic conditions in North Africa caused us to experience shipment delays to this region. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, there was no impact to operating income due to delayed shipments to the region. The preponderance of our physical assets in the region are located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and have, to date, not been significantly affected by the unrest elsewhere in the region.
At September 30, 2012, we had no direct investments in European sovereign or non-sovereign debt. However, certain of our defined benefit plans hold investments in European equity and fixed income securities as discussed in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report. Other than broad, macro-level economic impacts, including foreign exchange rate impacts, we did not experience any direct or measurable disruptions during the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 due to the European sovereign debt crisis. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the impact of any future developments in the region on our current business, our customers and suppliers and the state of the global economy.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
Throughout this discussion of our results of operations, we discuss the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have calculated currency effects on operations by translating current year results on a monthly basis at prior year exchange rates for the same periods.
As discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, we acquired LPI, a privately-owned, U.S.-based pump manufacturer, for inclusion in EPD, effective October 28, 2011. LPI's results of operations have been consolidated since the date of acquisition. No pro forma information has been provided for the acquisition due to immateriality.

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 manufacturing, service or support. Bookings recorded and subsequently canceled within the year-to-date period are excluded from year-to-date bookings. Bookings for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $26.4 million, or 2.3%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $78 million. The increase was primarily driven by the oil and gas industry in EPD and IPD, partially offset by a decrease in the power generation industry in EPD and the chemical industry in FCD. The increase was also driven by original equipment bookings in IPD, partially offset by reduced original equipment bookings in FCD and reduced aftermarket bookings in EPD, and included the impact of IPD orders in excess of $90 million to supply offshore oil and gas platform equipment over the next five years.
Bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $108.8 million, or 3.1%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $189 million. The increase was primarily driven

by the oil and gas and chemical industries in EPD and IPD, partially offset by the power generation industry in EPD. The increase was also attributable to original equipment bookings in IPD, and to a lesser extent aftermarket bookings in EPD, partially offset by reduced original equipment bookings in FCD.
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $44.1 million, or 3.9%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $75 million. The increase was primarily due to increased original equipment sales in IPD and FCD. Net sales to international customers, including export sales from the U.S., were approximately 71% and 74% of total sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $178.3 million, or 5.5%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $185 million. The increase was primarily due to increased original equipment sales in IPD and FCD, and aftermarket sales in EPD. Net sales to international customers, including export sales from the U.S., were approximately 70% and 73% of total sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Backlog represents the aggregate value of booked but uncompleted customer orders and is influenced primarily by bookings, sales, cancellations and currency effects. Backlog of $2,881.0 million at September 30, 2012 increased by $190.9 million, or 7.1%, as compared with December 31, 2011. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $2 million. Approximately 25% of the backlog at September 30, 2012 was related to aftermarket orders. Aftermarket backlog of $713.5 million at September 30, 2012 increased by $80.6 million, or 12.7% as compared to December 31, 2011.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $13.0 million, or 3.5%, as compared with the same period in 2011. Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of 33.4% decreased from 33.6% for the same period in 2011. The decrease was attributed to a mix shift from aftermarket sales to original equipment sales, and, to a lesser extent, by a larger effect on revenue of certain large, lower margin projects that shipped form backlog, partially offset by the effects of lower costs as a result of operational improvements, as compared with the same period in 2011. Aftermarket sales decreased to approximately 39% of total sales, as compared with approximately 41% of total sales for the same period in 2011. Aftermarket sales generally carry a higher margin compared to original equipment sales.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $39.8 million, or 3.6%, as compared with the same period in 2011. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of 33.1% decreased from 33.7% for the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to the effect on revenue of certain large, lower margin projects that shipped from backlog in EPD and a mix shift from aftermarket sales to original equipment sales. Aftermarket sales decreased to approximately 40% of total sales, as compared to 41% of total sales for the same period in 2011.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $3.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, as compared with the same periods in 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to interest expense associated with our Bridge Loan and Senior Notes, and $1.3 million in unamortized deferred loan costs related to our Prior Credit Agreement that were expensed in the third quarter of 2012. Approximately 75% of our Term Loan Facility was at fixed rates at September 30, 2012, including the effects of $300.0 million of notional interest rate swaps.

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was consistent with the same period in 2011. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $0.4 million as compared with the same period in 2011. The small decrease was primarily attributable to lower average cash balances in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with the same period in 2011.

Other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $2.6 million to $9.2 million as compared with the same period in 2011, primarily due to a $11.4 increase in losses (due to a $7.6 million loss in the current period, primarily due to the Mexican peso, Indian rupee and Euro, as compared with a $3.8 million gain in the prior period) arising from transactions in currencies other than our sites’ functional currencies, partially offset by a $9.0 million decrease in losses (due to a $0.9 million loss in the current period as compared with a $9.9 million loss in the prior period) on foreign exchange contracts. The foreign exchange contract losses reflect the strengthening of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar during the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared with a weakening during the same period in 2011.
Other (expense) income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $30.1 million to other expense, net of $22.2 million as compared with the same period in 2011, primarily due to a $22.8 million increase in losses (due to a $15.1 million loss in the current period, primarily due to the Euro and Mexican peso, as compared with a $7.7 million gain in the prior period) arising from transactions in currencies other than our sites’ functional currencies, as well as a $6.7 million increase in losses (due to a $6.5 million loss in the current period as compared with a $0.2 million gain in the prior period) on foreign exchange contracts. The foreign exchange contract losses reflect the continued weakening of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared with the same period in 2011.

Business Segments
We conduct our operations through three business segments based on type of product and how we manage the business. We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segment’s operating income. See Note 15 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, EPD, IPD and FCD, are discussed below.
Engineered Product Division Segment Results
Our largest business segment is EPD, through which we design, manufacture, distribute and service custom and other highly-engineered pumps and pump systems, mechanical seals, auxiliary systems and replacement parts (collectively referred to as "original equipment"). EPD includes longer lead-time, highly-engineered pump products and shorter cycle engineered pumps and mechanical seals that are generally manufactured more quickly. EPD also manufactures replacement parts and related equipment and provides a full array of replacement parts, repair and support services (collectively referred to as "aftermarket"). EPD primarily operates in the oil and gas, power generation, chemical, water management and general industries. EPD operates in 40 countries with 29 manufacturing facilities worldwide, nine of which are located in Europe, 11 in North America, four in Asia and five in Latin America, and it has 125 QRCs, including those co-located in manufacturing facilities.

Bookings for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $13.9 million, or 2.4%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $37 million. The decrease in customer bookings was primarily driven by the power generation industry, partially offset by the oil and gas industry. Decreased customer bookings of $21.6 million into Europe and $7.6 million into Asia Pacific were partially offset by an increase of $13.2 million into the Middle East. The decrease was primarily driven by customer aftermarket bookings. Interdivision bookings (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated bookings as disclosed above) decreased $4.7 million.
Bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $64.5 million, or 3.7%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $98 million. The increase in customer bookings was primarily driven by the oil and gas, chemical and general industries, partially offset by the power generation industry. Increased customer bookings of $104.3 million into Asia Pacific and $71.5 million into North America were partially offset by a decrease of $115.9 million into the Middle East. The increase was also driven by aftermarket bookings. The increase included the impact of an order in the first quarter of 2011 in excess of $80 million to supply a variety of pumps for a refinery that did not recur. Interdivision bookings (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated bookings as disclosed above) decreased $8.6 million.
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $6.8 million, or 1.2%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $37 million. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased original equipment sales, resulting from decreased sales of $19.5 million into Europe and $8.2 million into Latin America, partially offset by increased sales of $13.1 million into Asia Pacific and $12.1 million into North America. Interdivision sales (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated sales as disclosed above) decreased $3.7 million.
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $33.7 million, or 2.0%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $94 million.

Interdivision sales (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated sales as disclosed above) decreased $14.6 million.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $0.8 million, or 0.4%, as compared with the same period in 2011. Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of 33.9% increased from 33.6% for the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily attributed to a sales mix shift to higher margin aftermarket sales and the effects of lower costs associated with operational execution improvements, partially offset by a larger effect on revenue of certain large, lower margin projects that shipped from backlog, as compared with the same period in 2011.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $1.9 million, or 0.3%, as compared with the same period in 2011.

Bookings for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $28.5 million, or 7.0%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $24 million. The decrease in customer bookings was primarily attributable to the chemical, general and oil and gas industries, partially offset by an increase in the power generation industry. Decreased customer bookings of $26.0 million into the Middle East and $11.3 million into Latin America were partially offset by an increase of $13.3 million into Europe, primarily Russia. The decrease was also driven by reduced customer original equipment bookings.
Bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $54.1 million, or 4.4%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $58 million. The decrease in customer bookings was primarily attributable to the general, oil and gas and chemical industries, partially offset by an increase in the power generation industry. Decreased customer bookings of $44.7 million into Europe and $18.8 million into Latin America were partially offset by an increase of $15.6 million into North America. The decrease was also driven by reduced original equipment bookings.
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $26.4 million, or 7.2%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $26 million. The increase was primarily driven by customer original equipment sales and was primarily attributable to growth in the oil and gas industry. Increased sales of $28.8 million into Asia Pacific and $19.5 million into North America were partially offset by decreases of $19.6 million into Europe.
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $67.1 million, or 6.1%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $62 million. The increase was primarily driven by customer original equipment sales and the oil and gas and chemical industries. Increased sales of $71.1 million into Asia Pacific and $45.1 million into North America were partially offset by a decrease of $41.2 million into Europe.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $8.3 million or 6.3%, as compared with the same period in 2011. Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of 35.4% decreased from 35.7% for the same period in 2011. The decrease was attributable to a shift in product line mix and a less favorable sales mix between original equipment and aftermarket.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $20.3 million, or 5.4%, as compared with the same period in 2011. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of 34.4% decreased from 34.7% for the same period in 2011. The decrease was attributable to a shift in product line mix and a less favorable sales mix between original equipment and aftermarket.
Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $4.5 million, or 7.1%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the $8.3 million improved gross profit, partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in SG&A .
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased by $13.2 million, or 7.7%, as compared with the same period in 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $11 million. The increase was principally attributable to the $20.3 million increase in gross profit as discussed above, partially offset by a $5.5 million increase in SG&A. Increased SG&A was primarily attributable to increased selling and administrative costs.
Backlog of $766.3 million at September 30, 2012 increased by $6.4 million, or 0.8%, as compared with December 31, 2011. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $3 million.

Existing cash, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our existing revolving credit facility are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. We monitor the depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents on a regular basis, and we believe that we have placed our deposits with creditworthy financial institutions. Our sources of operating cash generally include the sale of our products and services and the conversion of our working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventories. Our cash balance at September 30, 2012 was $217.4 million, as compared with $337.4 million at December 31, 2011.
Our cash balance decreased by $120.0 million to $217.4 million as of September 30, 2012 as compared with December 31, 2011. The cash used in the first nine months of 2012 included $533.9 million of share repurchases, the funding of increased working capital requirements discussed below, $84.2 million in capital expenditures, $75.0 million in net payments on long-term debt and $55.6 million in dividend payments, partially offset by $498.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our cash provided by operating activities was $122.6 million as compared with a use of $150.1 million for the same period in 2011, and provided cash to support short-term and cyclical working capital needs. Working capital increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due primarily to higher inventory of $149.3 million and lower accounts payable of $75.2 million. Working capital increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, due primarily to higher inventory of $206.1 million and higher accounts receivable of $201.6 million.
Increases in accounts receivable used $45.6 million of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with a cash use of $201.6 million for the same period in 2011. The use of cash for accounts receivable in 2012 was primarily attributable to the increase in sales during the period, partially offset by the collection of payments from certain EPC firms and end-users resulting from the resolution of certain previous shipment delays and disputes over project documentation that were outstanding as of December 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2012, our days’ sales outstanding ("DSO") was 85 days as compared with 82 days as of September 30, 2011. For reference purposes based on 2012 sales, an improvement of one day could provide approximately $13 million in cash flow. We have not experienced a significant increase in customer payment defaults.
Increases in inventory used $149.3 million of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with a cash use of $206.1 million for the same period in 2011. The use of cash for inventory in 2012 was primarily due to cyclically higher raw material and work in process inventory to support higher end of period backlog and certain shipment delays. Inventory turns were 2.7 times as of September 30, 2012 and 2.8 times as of September 30, 2011. Our calculation of inventory turns does not reflect the impact of advanced cash received from our customers. For reference purposes based on 2012 data, an improvement of one-tenth of a turn could yield approximately $31 million in cash flow.
Decreases in accounts payable used $75.2 million of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with a cash use of $101.7 million for the same period in 2011. The reduction in cash used for accounts payable in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to accounts payable balances related to certain inventory and equipment purchases and corporate-level expenses at December 31, 2010 that required payment during the first quarter of 2011 based on contractual payment terms, that were more significant compared to the same period in 2012.
Cash flows used by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $80.5 million as compared with $68.5 million for the same period in 2011. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $84.2 million, an increase of $13.0 million as compared with the same period in 2011. In 2012, our capital expenditures are focused on strategic initiatives to pursue new markets, geographic and capacity expansion, information technology infrastructure and cost reduction opportunities, and total capital expenditures are expected to be between $125 million and $135 million, before consideration of any potential acquisition activity.
Cash flows used by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $164.9 million as compared with $110.0 million for the same period in 2011. Cash outflows during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulted primarily from the repurchase of $533.9 million of common shares (including the $300.0 million ASR Program payment), $75.0 million in net payments on long-term debt and $55.6 million of dividend payments, partially offset by $498.1 million in net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes. Cash outflows for the same period in 2011 resulted primarily from the payment of $51.8 million in dividends, $41.1 million for the repurchase of common shares and $18.8 million for payments on long-term debt.

Approximately 1% of our Term Loan Facility is due to mature in the remainder of 2012 and 6% in 2013. As noted above, our Senior Credit Facility matures in August 2017. After the effects of $300.0 million of notional interest rate swaps, approximately 75% of our term loan was at fixed rates at September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, we had a borrowing capacity of $693.7 million on our $850.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (including outstanding letters of credit), and we had net available capacity under the European LOC Facility of €60.7 million ($78.1 million). Our Revolving Credit Facility and our European LOC Facility are committed and are held by a diversified group of financial institutions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we contributed $7.0 million and $8.3 million, respectively, to our U.S. pension plan. At December 31, 2011, as a result of increases in values of the plan’s assets and our contributions to the plan, our U.S. pension plan was fully funded as defined by applicable law. After consideration of our funded status, we currently do not anticipate making any additional contributions to the U.S. pension plan in 2012. We continue to maintain an asset allocation consistent with our strategy to maximize total return, while reducing portfolio risks through asset class diversification.
At September 30, 2012, $199.1 million of our total cash balance of $217.4 million was held by foreign subsidiaries, $152.4 million of which we consider permanently reinvested outside the U.S. Based on the expected near-term liquidity needs of our various geographies and our currently available sources of domestic short-term liquidity, we currently do not anticipate the need to repatriate any permanently reinvested cash to fund domestic operations. However, in the event this cash is needed to fund domestic operations, we estimate the full $152.4 million could be repatriated without resulting in a material tax liability.
Considering our current debt structure and cash needs, we currently believe cash flows from operating activities combined with availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and our existing cash balance will be sufficient to meet our cash 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" below.
On May 31, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors endorsed an updated capital structure strategy designed to make our financial structure more efficient. This capital structure strategy includes: (i) targeting a long-term gross leverage ratio of 1.0x-2.0x total debt to EBITDA through the business cycle, versus then-current gross leverage ratio of 0.7x; and (ii) an expanded share repurchase program of $1.0 billion, including approximately $233 million remaining under the previous repurchase authorization. The expanded share repurchase program includes amounts incremental to our previously-announced policy of annually returning 40% to 50% of running two-year average net earnings to shareholders, which we intend to maintain after attaining the announced target leverage ratio. While we intend to adhere to this policy for the foreseeable future, any future returns of cash, whether through any combination of dividends or share repurchases, will be reviewed individually, declared by our Board of Directors and implemented by management at its discretion, depending on our financial condition, business opportunities at the time and market conditions.
As a part of the $1.0 billion share repurchase program, on June 14, 2012, we entered into an ASR Program with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as agent for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, under which we agreed to repurchase an aggregate of $300.0 million of our common stock. The ASR Program was funded through a combination of cash on hand, existing capacity on our Prior Revolving Credit Facility and proceeds from a $250.0 million Bridge Loan, which is described in further detail in Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report and was repaid in full in the third quarter of 2012 with a portion of the proceeds received from the Senior Notes offering. Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report includes a discussion of our ASR Program, share repurchase program and payments of quarterly dividends on our common stock.
As a part of our continuing effort to execute our capital structure strategy, we entered into a new $1.25 billion Senior Credit Facility on August 20, 2012 (see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report), which provides additional debt capacity to execute on our growth initiatives, while also enhancing our operating flexibility and reducing our borrowing costs after attaining investment grade status with all three rating agencies. Additionally, on September 11, 2012, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due September 15, 2022 (see Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report).
Acquisitions and Dispositions
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.
Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report contains a discussion of acquisitions.

Financing
Credit Facilities
A discussion of our newly refinanced Senior Credit Facility and our European LOC facility is included in Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our exposure to variable interest payments related to our Senior Credit Facility. These agreements are more fully described in Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, and in "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" below.
See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report and Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of covenants related to our European LOC facility. We complied with all covenants through September 30, 2012.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s 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 critical accounting policies used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements were discussed in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2011 Annual Report. These critical policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, include:

Revenue Recognition;

Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves;

Reserves for Contingent Loss;

Retirement and Postretirement Benefits; and

Valuation of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets.
The process of preparing condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 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 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Words or phrases such as, "may," "should," "expects," "could," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "estimates," "believes," "predicts" or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which include, without limitation, statements concerning our future financial performance, future debt and financing levels, investment objectives, implications of litigation and regulatory investigations and other management plans for future operations and performance.
The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are based on our current expectations, projections, estimates and assumptions. These statements are only predictions, not guarantees. Such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from what is forecast in such forward-looking statements, and include, without limitation, the following:

a portion of our bookings may not lead to completed sales, and our ability to convert bookings into revenues at acceptable profit margins;

changes in the global financial markets and the availability of capital and the potential for unexpected cancellations or delays of customer orders in our reported backlog;

our dependence on our customers' ability to make required capital investment and maintenance expenditures;

risks associated with cost overruns on fixed fee projects and in accepting customer orders for large complex custom engineered products;

the substantial dependence of our sales on the success of the oil and gas, chemical, power generation and water management industries;

the adverse impact of volatile raw materials prices on our products and operating margins;

economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations, including military actions or trade embargoes that could affect customer markets, particularly North African and Middle Eastern markets and global oil and gas producers, and non-compliance with U.S. export/reexport control, foreign corrupt practice laws, economic sanctions and import laws and regulations;

adverse macroeconomic conditions in the European Union, including problems arising from a European Union national member's termination of use of the Euro as its national currency;

our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the Euro and British pound and in hyperinflationary countries such as Venezuela;

our furnishing of products and services to nuclear power plant facilities and other critical applications;

potential adverse consequences resulting from litigation to which we are a party, such as litigation involving asbestos-containing material claims;

a foreign government investigation regarding our participation in the United Nations Oil-For-Food Program;

expectations regarding acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses;

our relative geographical profitability and its impact on our utilization of deferred tax assets, including foreign tax credits;

the potential adverse impact of an impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets;

our dependence upon third-party suppliers whose failure to perform timely could adversely affect our business operations;

the highly competitive nature of the markets in which we operate;

environmental compliance costs and liabilities;

potential work stoppages and other labor matters;

access to public and private sources of debt financing;

our inability to protect our intellectual property in the U.S., as well as in foreign countries; and

obligations under our defined benefit pension plans.
These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully discussed in the risk factors identified in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I of our 2011 Annual Report, and may be identified in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and/or press releases from time to time. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation 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. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts, but we currently expect our counterparties will continue to meet their obligations given their current creditworthiness.
Interest Rate Risk
Our earnings are impacted by changes in short-term interest rates as a result of borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility, which bear interest based on floating rates. At September 30, 2012, after the effect of interest rate swaps, we had $100.0 million of variable rate debt obligations outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 1.86%. 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 $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $300.0 million and $330.0 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding interest rate swaps with third parties with varying maturities through June 2015.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A substantial portion of our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Almost all of our non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated transactions, denominated in a currency other than a non-U.S. subsidiary’s functional currency. 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 net gains (losses) associated with foreign currency translation of $31.6 million and $(107.7) million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $8.1 million and $(31.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are included in our other comprehensive income (expense).
We employ a foreign currency risk management strategy to minimize potential changes in cash flows from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. The use of forward exchange contracts allows us to mitigate transactional exposure to exchange rate fluctuations as the gains or losses incurred on the forward exchange contracts will offset, in whole or in part, losses or gains on the underlying foreign currency exposure. Our policy allows foreign currency coverage only for identifiable foreign currency exposures. As of September 30, 2012, we had a U.S. dollar equivalent of $571.2 million in aggregate notional amount outstanding in forward exchange contracts with third parties, as compared with $481.2 million at December 31, 2011. Transactional currency gains and losses arising from transactions outside of our sites’ functional currencies and changes in fair value of certain forward exchange contracts are included in our consolidated results of operations. We recognized foreign currency net (losses) gains of $(8.5) million and $(6.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $(21.6) million and $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are included in other (expense) income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
Based on a sensitivity analysis at September 30, 2012, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 would have impacted our net earnings by approximately $22 million, due primarily to the Euro. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion relative to the U.S. dollar and that there are no indirect effects, such as changes in non-U.S. dollar sales volumes or prices. This calculation does not take into account the impact of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts discussed above.
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 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 SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Table of Contents





In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2012. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2012.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 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 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report, and such disclosure is incorporated by reference into this "Item 1. Legal Proceedings." In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are named defendants in certain other ordinary routine 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 currently expect the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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, careful consideration should be given to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in Part I and "Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II of our 2011 Annual Report, which contain descriptions of significant factors that might cause the actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.
There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in our 2011 Annual Report and subsequent SEC filings. The risks described in this Quarterly Report, our 2011 Annual Report and in our other SEC filings or press releases from time to time are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties are currently deemed immaterial based on management's assessment of currently available information, which remains subject to change; however, new risks that are currently unknown to us may surface in the future that materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 2.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report includes a comprehensive discussion of our share repurchase program and payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we repurchased a total of 826,082 shares of our common stock for $101.0 million (representing an average cost of $122.22 per share). As of September 30, 2012, we have $523.7 million of remaining capacity under our current share repurchase program, which reflects the reduction of the full $300.0 million value of the ASR Program. The following table sets forth the repurchase data for each of the three months during the quarter ended September 30, 2012:

Item 5.
Other Information.
On October 26, 2012, we entered into a third amendment and restatement of our European LOC Facility (the “Third Amendment”), which renews the European LOC Facility for an additional 364-day period. Under the terms of the Third Amendment, certain provisions of the European LOC Facility, including Clause 25, “General Undertakings”, and Clause 26, “Events of Default”, were materially amended to conform such provisions to the negative covenants and events of default contained in our Senior Credit Facility and Senior Notes.
Additionally, the Third Amendment reduced the annual commitment fee on the aggregate unutilized commitments of the issuing banks to 35 basis points, and it reduced the letter of credit utilization fee to 110 basis points per annum up to 75% utilization of the facility and to 100 basis points per annum for utilization beyond 75%. As of October 26, 2012, our annual fees under the European LOC Facility equaled 1.10%.
Except as described above, all other terms and conditions of the European LOC Facility remain the same in all material respects. Other material terms of the European LOC Facility are described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 5, 2009, and the European LOC Facility is described in further detail under Note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. The foregoing description of the Third Amendment is a summary description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report.
