Mark Blinn, Flowserve president and chief executive officer, said, "I am pleased
with our fourth quarter performance, which was a good finish to the year and
culminated in our solid full year 2012 results as we managed through a
challenging macroeconomic environment. During the year, we focused internally on
operational efficiency and leveraging our 'One Flowserve' initiative. As a
result of these operational improvements and our increased focus on cost, we
delivered on our long-term goal of leveraging mid-single digit organic revenue
growth into double-digit earnings per share growth.
"As the year progressed, we also improved upon our order execution process and
heightened our discipline and selectivity, resulting in both bookings growth and
a higher quality of projects in backlog. Our aftermarket business continued to
show strength, with our end-user focus and strategic localization initiatives
supporting our highest annual aftermarket bookings level over $1.9 billion.
"Looking forward to fiscal 2013, we expect to build upon last year's progress
and capitalize on anticipated improving economic growth rates in latter 2013 to
drive long-term value for our shareholders. While global macroeconomic
uncertainty remains, we anticipate modest improvement in the U.S., stability in
our European exposures and solid opportunities in the developing regions that we
targeted with additional capacity in 2012. When value-creating opportunities
arise, we are also well positioned to execute on our inorganic growth strategy,
targeting bolt-on opportunities where we can leverage our global sales force and
aftermarket platform to grow the business at a faster pace."
Financial Performance and Guidance
Mike Taff, senior vice president and chief financial officer, said, "Our strong
execution and operational excellence efforts throughout the year resulted in
over 11% earnings per share growth and operating margin expansion of 50 basis
points, keeping us on track for our previously announced 2014 margin improvement
target of 150 to 250 basis points above 2011 margins. While opportunities
remain, our recent working capital initiatives contributed to the strong
operating cash flow of $517 million generated during the year.
"We returned nearly $850 million of capital to shareholders during 2012, as we
also executed on our capital structure strategies to increase the efficiency of
our balance sheet while remaining positioned for profitable growth investments.
Throughout, we maintained a disciplined approach to capital deployment and
continued investing to optimize our operational platform and further grow our
business. I am pleased that our Board of Directors has recently approved a
16.7% dividend increase, replenished our share repurchase authorization to $750
million and approved a 3-for-1 stock split, subject to shareholder action, all
of which we believe will prove beneficial to our owners.
"Similar to 2012, our 2013 earnings guidance of $9.60 to $10.60 per share will
reflect traditional seasonality, as well as the impact on our backlog of a
slowing economy in latter 2012, and thus will have earnings weighted towards the
second half of the year. We further expect the 2013 first quarter to be the
trough of the year, with a somewhat challenging year-over-year compare primarily
due to Venezuela's recent devaluation of the bolivar, with a forecasted first
quarter 2013 impact of approximately $3 million, as well as a higher effective
tax rate, and with the one-time $10.4 million benefit recognized in the first
quarter of 2012 resulting from the sale of our prior Rio de Janeiro facility.
Although our 2013 earnings will be weighted toward the second half of the year,
we remain confident in our ability to achieve our full-year goals."
Operational Commentary and Segment Performance (all comparisons versus fourth
quarter 2011 or full year 2011 unless otherwise noted)
Tom Pajonas, senior vice president and chief operating officer, said, "I am
pleased with the operational improvements we made throughout 2012, as certain
key initiatives such as on-time delivery, working capital management, reduced
cost of quality and low-cost sourcing allowed the company to achieve
disciplined, profitable growth and further positioned the business to capture
expected improvements in our end markets. We saw solid activity across our
served industries in 2012, with the exception of power, which remains soft and
competitive. While most of our original equipment activity consisted of small
to mid-sized projects, as we look at 2013 we are encouraged that pre-FEED and
FEED work remains at high levels, and we continue to expect the final approval
of certain larger projects in the second half of 2013."
Engineered Product Division (EPD)
EPD bookings for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased to $558.4 million, down
$31.6 million or 5.4%, or 4.0% excluding negative currency effects of
approximately $8 million. Bookings for the full year 2012 increased to $2.37
billion, up $39.6 million or 1.7%, or 6.2% excluding negative currency effects
of approximately $105 million. EPD sales for the fourth quarter of 2012
increased to $714.2 million, up $48.1 million or 7.2%, or 9.0% excluding
negative currency effects of approximately $12 million. Sales for the full year
2012 increased to $2.40 billion, up $81.7 million or 3.5%, or 8.1% excluding
negative currency effects of approximately $106 million.
EPD gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased to $239.8 million, up
$9.7 million or 4.2%. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased 90
basis points to 33.6%. Gross profit for the full year 2012 increased to $811.2
million, up $7.8 million or 1.0%. Gross margin for the full year 2012 decreased
80 basis points to 33.8%, which was primarily attributable to a larger effect on
revenue of certain large projects at low margins, partially offset by the
effects of operational execution improvements and a sales mix shift towards
higher margin aftermarket sales.
EPD operating income for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased to $121.8 million,
down $3.0 million or 2.4%, or 0.8% excluding negative currency effects of
approximately $2 million. Operating income for the full year 2012 increased to
$396.1 million, up $0.9 million or 0.2%, or 5.3% excluding negative currency
effects of approximately $20 million. The full year increase was primarily
attributable to the increase in gross profit, partially offset by increased
SG&A. Fourth quarter operating margin decreased 160 basis points to 17.1%.
Full year 2012 operating margin decreased 50 basis points to 16.5%.
"Full year constant currency bookings growth for EPD was driven by the chemical,
oil and gas and general industries. Full year sales growth was led by the North
America, Middle East and Asia Pacific regions. Operating margin of 16.5% for
2012 was solid in a mixed market environment, considering the negative impact
from currency and the shipment of certain large projects with low margins. Our
focus throughout the year on project selectivity, operational improvements and a
sales mix shift towards aftermarket helped offset some of this impact, as
evidenced by improvements in the second half of 2012," commented Pajonas.
Industrial Product Division (IPD)
IPD bookings for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased to $206.7 million, down
$24.2 million or 10.5%, or 9.6% excluding negative currency effects of $2
million. Bookings for the full year 2012 increased to $964.3 million, up $58.9
million or 6.5%, or 10.4% excluding negative currency effects of approximately
$35 million. IPD sales for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased to $265.5
million, up $3.8 million or 1.5%, or 2.2% excluding negative currency effects of
approximately $2 million. Sales for the full year 2012 increased to $953.9
million, up $75.7 million or 8.6%, or 12.1% excluding negative currency effects
of approximately $31 million.
IPD gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased to $65.8 million, up
$8.6 million or 15.0%. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased
290 basis points to 24.8%. Gross profit for the full year 2012 increased to
$230.3 million, up $32.8 million or 16.6%. Gross margin for the full year 2012
increased 160 basis points to 24.1%, which was primarily attributable to charges
related to the IPD recovery plan incurred in 2011 that did not recur, lower
costs resulting from operational improvements and continued realization of
realignment savings, partially offset by a sales mix shift to lower margin
original equipment sales.
IPD operating income for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased to $31.7 million,
up $8.0 million or 33.8%. Operating income for the full year 2012 increased to
$99.5 million, up $36.6 million or 58.2%, or 64.5% excluding negative currency
effects of approximately $4 million. The full year increase was primarily
attributable to the increase in gross profit and a decrease in SG&A. Fourth
quarter 2012 operating margin increased 280 basis points to 11.9%. Full year
2012 operating margin increased 320 basis points to 10.4%.
"I am pleased with the progress IPD made in 2012, which has demonstrated that
its recovery plan remains on track," Pajonas added. "IPD delivered double-digit
constant currency improvements in bookings and sales for the full year, which
were driven by activity in the oil and gas and chemical industries. Both gross
margin and operating margin improved for the full year and fourth quarter,
resulting from the operational improvements, continued realization of
realignment savings and SG&A cost controls that are part of the recovery plan."
Flow Control Division (FCD)
FCD bookings for the fourth quarter of 2012 decreased to $354.2 million, down
$23.4 million or 6.2%, or 4.9% excluding negative currency effects of
approximately $5 million. Bookings for the full year 2012 decreased to $1.53
billion, down $76.2 million or 4.8%, or 0.8% excluding negative currency effects
of approximately $63 million. FCD sales for the fourth quarter of 2012
increased to $396.9 million, up $16.6 million or 4.4%, or 5.7% excluding
negative currency effects of approximately $5 million. Sales for the full year
2012 increased to $1.56 billion, up $83.8 million or 5.7%, or 10.2% excluding
negative currency effects of approximately $67 million.
FCD gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased to $142.3 million, up
$9.6 million or 7.2%. Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased
100 basis points to 35.9%. Gross profit for the full year 2012 increased to
$541.4 million, up $29.9 million or 5.8%. Gross margin for the full year 2012
was 34.8%, which was comparable to 2011.
FCD operating income for the fourth quarter of 2012 increased to $69.0 million,
up $6.9 million or 11.1%, or 12.7% excluding negative currency effects of
approximately $1 million. Operating income for the full year 2012 increased to
$253.4 million, up $20.1 million or 8.6%, or 13.8% excluding negative currency
effects of approximately $12 million. The full year increase was primarily
attributable to the increase in gross profit, partially offset by an increase in
SG&A, which was attributable to increased selling and research and development
costs. Fourth quarter 2012 operating margin increased 110 basis points to
17.4%. Full year 2012 operating margin increased 50 basis points to 16.3%.
"FCD delivered solid performance, even against a strong 2011 compare. Full year
bookings decreased slightly on a constant currency basis, as increased activity
in the Middle East was offset by decreases in Europe and Latin America.
However, full year sales increased a double-digit percentage on a constant
currency basis, led by strong original equipment sales into Asia Pacific and
North America, which offset decreases in Europe. The 50 basis point improvement
in operating margin, supported by a 60 basis point improvement in SG&A leverage,
demonstrated FCD's ability to deliver continued strong operational performance,"
concluded Pajonas.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT: This news release 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," "forecasts,"
"predicts" or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements, which include, without limitation, earnings forecasts, statements
relating to our business strategy and statements of expectations, beliefs,
future plans and strategies and anticipated developments concerning our
industry, business, operations and financial performance and condition.
The forward-looking statements included in this news release 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 taking 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; our ability to execute and realize the expected financial
benefits from our strategic realignment initiatives; economic, political and
other risks associated with our international operations, including military
actions or trade embargoes that could affect customer markets, particularly
Middle Eastern markets and global oil and gas producers, and non-compliance with
U.S. export/re-export control, foreign corrupt practice laws, economic sanctions
and import laws and regulations; our exposure to fluctuations in foreign
currency exchange rates, including in hyperinflationary countries such as
Venezuela; our furnishing of products and services to nuclear power plant
facilities; 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 foreign subsidiaries autonomously
conducting limited business operations and sales in certain countries identified
by the U.S. State Department as state sponsors of terrorism; 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; our inability to protect our
intellectual property in the U.S., as well as in foreign countries; obligations
under our defined benefit pension plans; and other factors described from time
to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
All forward-looking statements included in this news release are based on
information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to
update any forward-looking statement.
