NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, are unaudited. In management's opinion, all adjustments comprising normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements have been made.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes in this Form 10-Q are presented as permitted by Regulation S-X and do not contain certain information included in our annual financial statements and notes to the financial statements. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.


Stock-Based Compensation

We have several stock-based employee compensation plans. We account for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. Currently, no stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net earnings for stock option grants, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to or in excess of the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Awards of restricted stock are generally valued at the market price of our common stock on the date of grant and recorded as unearned compensation within shareholder's equity. The unearned compensation is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of the restricted stock.

The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to all stock-based employee compensation, calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Because the determination of the fair value of stock options granted includes an expected volatility factor and because additional option grants are expected to be made each year, the above pro forma disclosures are not representative of pro forma effects for future years.


Other Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2004, are detailed in Note 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.


2. Recent Accounting Developments

Pronouncement Implemented

In December 2003, the FASB revised FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," which addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIEs") by business enterprises that are the primary beneficiaries. A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise that has the majority of the risks or rewards associated with the VIE. We have no interests in VIEs that require disclosure or consolidation under FIN 46, and therefore its implementation had no significant effect on our results of operations or financial position.


Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented

During December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the "Act") was enacted in the United States. The Act generally permits plan sponsors that provide retiree prescription drug benefits that are "actuarially equivalent" to the benefits of Medicare Part D to be eligible for a non-taxable federal subsidy. As permitted by FASB Staff Position No. (FSP) 106-1, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003," we have elected to defer accounting for any effects of the Act until December 31, 2004. We are evaluating the impact of the Act, including the emergence of specific authoritative guidance regarding the accounting treatment afforded the provisions of the Act, which could require us to change information previously reported.

Although there are no other final pronouncements recently issued which we have not adopted and that we expect to impact reported financial information or disclosures, accounting promulgating bodies have a number of pending projects which may directly impact us. We continue to evaluate the status of these projects, and as these projects become final, we will provide disclosures regarding the likelihood and magnitude of their impact, if any.


3. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $15,992 and $18,572 at March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

5. Derivative Instruments and Hedges

We enter into forward contracts to hedge our risk associated with transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our risk management and derivatives policy specify the conditions in which we enter into derivative contracts. As of March 31, 2004, we have approximately $121.3 million of notional amount in outstanding contracts with third parties. As of March 31, 2004, the maximum length of any forward contract in place was 15 months. The fair value of outstanding forward contracts entered into by us at March 31, 2004 was $2.1 million and $5.4 million at December 31, 2003. During the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, we recognized changes in fair value, net of reclassifications, for losses of $0.9 million and $0.2 million, before income taxes, in comprehensive income related to our forward contracts.

We, also as part of our risk management program, enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our exposure to floating interest rates on certain portions of our debt. As of March 31, 2004, we have $175 million of notional amount in outstanding interest rate swaps with third parties. As of March 31, 2004, the maximum remaining length of any interest rate contract in place was approximately 32 months. At March 31, 2004, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was a liability of $7.7 million and $7.6 million at December 31, 2003. During the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, we recognized changes in fair value, net of reclassifications, for losses of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, before income taxes, in comprehensive income related to our interest rate swap agreements.

We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties under forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations and have experienced no credit losses from our counterparties. Hedging related transactions recorded in comprehensive income are presented net of deferred taxes at prevailing tax rates where the derivatives are held, which approximate 37%.

Senior Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, our senior credit facilities are composed of Tranche A and Tranche C term loans and a revolving credit facility. Tranche A consists of a U.S. Dollar denominated tranche and a Euro denominated tranche, the latter of which is a term note due in 2006. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we made mandatory debt payments of $8 million. As of March 31, 2004, we have total scheduled principal payments of $58.4 million due in the remaining periods of 2004.

8



The Tranche A and Tranche C loans have ultimate maturities of June 2006 and June 2009, respectively. The term loans bear floating interest rates based on LIBOR plus a borrowing spread, or the prime rate plus a borrowing spread, at our option. The borrowing spread for the senior credit facilities can increase or decrease based on the leverage ratio as defined in the credit facility and on our public debt ratings.

As part of the senior credit facilities, we also have a $300 million revolving credit facility that expires in June 2006. The revolving credit facility allows us to issue up to $200 million in letters of credit. No amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2004 or December 31, 2003. We have issued $45.5 million in letters of credit under the facility, which reduced borrowing capacity of the facility to $254.5 million at March 31, 2004, compared with a borrowing capacity of $257.3 million at December 31, 2003.

We are required, under certain circumstances as defined in the credit facility, to use a percentage of excess cash generated from operations to reduce the outstanding principal of the term loans in the following year. Based upon the annual calculations performed at December 31, 2003, no additional principal payments became due in 2004 under this provision.


Senior Subordinated Notes

At March 31, 2004, we have $188.5 million and EUR 65 million (equivalent to $80.0 million) face value of Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding.

The Senior Subordinated Notes were originally issued in 2000 at a discount to yield 12.5%, but have a coupon interest rate of 12.25%. Approximately one-third of these Senior Subordinated Notes were repurchased at a premium in 2001 utilizing proceeds from an equity offering, in accordance with the provisions of our indenture.

Beginning in August 2005, all remaining Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding become callable by us at 106.125% of face value. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in February and August.


Debt Covenants

The provisions of our senior credit facilities require us to meet or exceed specified defined financial covenants, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. Further, the provisions of these and other debt agreements generally limit or restrict indebtedness, liens, sale and leaseback transactions, asset sales and payment of dividends, capital expenditures and other activities.

Our senior credit facility requires us to submit audited financial statements to the lenders within 100 days of year end. As a consequence of delays stemming from the restatement of our financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the full years 2002, 2001 and 2000, we were unable to provide the audited financial statements within the specified period of time. Accordingly, we obtained a waiver from our lenders regarding this covenant and, accordingly, present the scheduled maturities under the facility due beyond March 31, 2005 as non-current in the consolidated balance sheet.

During June 2004, we received an amendment from our lenders to reduce the interest coverage minimum threshold beginning in June 2004 and to address other matters.

The minimum interest coverage ratio increased to 3.00 at March 31, 2004. Under the amended senior credit facility, the minimum interest coverage ratio reduces to 2.75 in June 2004 where it remains until December 2005, when it increases to 3.75. The maximum leverage ratio reduces to 3.75 at September 2004, where it remains until March 2005, when it decreases to 3.50. We currently estimate that we will comply with these covenants, although there can be no assurance that we will do so. Should our estimated earnings change we may not comply with these or other covenants and we may seek a waiver or an amendment to the senior credit facility in order to remain in compliance. We believe that such waiver or amendment, should it be needed, would be approved by the requisite number of lenders; however, there can be no assurance that such a waiver or amendment would be granted. We are not presently able to ascertain the cost and/or conditions associated with receipt of such waiver or amendment.

7. Sales of Accounts Receivable

Certain of our European subsidiaries engage in non-recourse factoring of trade accounts receivable. The various agreements have different terms, including options for renewal, none of which extend beyond December 2005. Under our senior credit facility, such factoring is generally limited to $50 million, based on the due date of the factored receivables.

At both March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, we have received, using end of period exchange rates, a U.S. dollar equivalent of approximately $24 million in cash from the factor under our most significant factoring program, which represents the factors' purchase of $30 million of receivables. At both of these dates, we have established a receivable from the factors for the $6 million to be recouped upon payment by the customer. In the first quarter of 2004 and 2003, we recognized approximately $0.2 million of loss in factoring receivables.

Additionally, we maintain numerous other less significant factoring programs. The aggregate cash received from the factoring of the receivables under these agreements totaled $27 million at March 31, 2004 and $29 at December 31, 2003.


8. Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined for U.S. inventories by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method and for other inventories by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

10. Restructuring Costs—IFC

Restructuring Costs

In conjunction with the acquisition of the Flow Control Division of Invensys plc ("IFC") during 2002, we initiated a restructuring program designed to reduce costs and eliminate excess capacity by closing 18 valve facilities, including 10 service facilities, and reducing sales and related support personnel. Our actions, some of which were approved and committed to in 2002with the remaining actions approved and committed to in 2003, are expected to result in a gross reduction of approximately 889 positions and a net reduction of approximately 662 positions. Net position eliminations represent the gross positions eliminated from the closed facilities offset by positions added at the receiving facilities, which are required to produce the products transferred into the receiving facilities.

We established a restructuring program reserve of $11.0 million upon acquisition of IFC, and increased the reserve by a total of $9.6 million in the latter half of 2002. We recognized additional accruals of $4.5 million in 2003 for this program, including $2.0 million during the first quarter, primarily related to the closure of certain valve service facilities and the related reductions in workforce. Cash expenditures against the accrual were $4.2 million in 2002 and $11.6 million in 2003, including $4.1 million during the first quarter, and $1.3 million during the first quarter of 2004. The remaining accrual of $8.0 million reflects payments to be made in 2004 and beyond for severance obligations due to terminated personnel in Europe of $4.8 million as well as lease and other contract termination and exit costs of $3.2 million.

Cumulative costs associated with the closure of Flowserve facilities of $7.2 million through December 31, 2003, have been recognized as restructuring expense in operating results, whereas cumulative costs associated with the closure of IFC facilities of $17.9 million, including related deferred taxes of $6.2 million, became part of the purchase price allocation of the transaction. The effect of these closure costs increased the amount of goodwill otherwise recognizable as a result of the IFC acquisition.

The following illustrates activity related to the IFC restructuring reserve:

Integration Costs—IFC

During the first quarter of 2003, we incurred acquisition-related integration expense in conjunction with IFC, which is summarized below:

(Amounts in millions)

  2003
Personnel and related costs   $ 3.7
Transfer of product lines     1.7
Asset impairments     0.2
Other     0.8
   
IFC integration expense   $ 6.4
   
Cash expense   $ 6.2
Non-cash expense     0.2
   
IFC integration expense   $ 6.4
   

The acquisition-related activities resulted in integration costs as categorized above and further defined as follows. Personnel and related costs include payroll, benefits, consulting fees, and retention and integration performance bonuses paid to our employees and contractors for the development, management and execution of the integration plan. Transfer of product lines includes costs associated with the transfer of product lines as well as realignment required in the receiving facilities. Asset impairments reflect the loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment at the facilities closed and disposal of inventory for discontinued product lines when the facilities were combined. The other category includes costs associated with information technology integration, legal entity consolidations, legal entity name changes, signage, new product literature and other. None of these items individually amounted to greater than $0.5 million.


Remaining Restructuring and Integration Costs—IFC

At December 31, 2003, we largely completed restructuring and integration activities related to IFC, except for payments to be made for certain European activities. We expect to incur no additional restructuring and integration costs related to this integration program.

Payments from the restructuring accrual will continue throughout 2004 and into 2005 due to the timing of severance obligations in Europe.
