Flowserve Announces Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.42 Per Share
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
DALLAS, May 23, 2013 - Flowserve Corp. (NYSE: FLS), a leading provider of flow
control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, today
announced that its board of directors has authorized the payment of a quarterly
cash dividend of $0.42 per share on the company's outstanding shares of common
stock on a pre-stock split basis. At $0.42 per share, the quarterly cash
dividend remains the same as the previous quarterly rate.
The dividend is payable on July 12, 2013, to shareholders of record as of the
close of business on June 28, 2013. In a release earlier today, the company
indicated its intent to complete a 3-for-1 split of its common stock by the end
of June. Should the stock split effective date occur prior to the June
28, 2013, record date for the cash dividend, the $0.42 per share rate will be
adjusted to $0.14 per share, proportionate to the stock split.
While Flowserve currently intends to pay regular quarterly cash dividends for
the foreseeable future, any future dividends, at this $0.42 per share rate or
otherwise, will be reviewed individually and declared by the board at its
discretion, dependent on the board's assessment of the company's financial
condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
