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, 2014, the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, of Flowserve Corporation are unaudited. In management’s opinion, all adjustments comprising normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair statement 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, 2014 ("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 audited Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 ("2013 Annual Report").
As discussed in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report, on May 23, 2013, our certificate of incorporation was amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 120.0 million to 305.0 million and enable a three-for-one stock split approved by the Board of Directors on February 7, 2013 in the form of a 200% common stock dividend. The record date for the stock split was June 7, 2013, and additional shares were distributed on June 21, 2013. Shareholders' equity and all share data, including treasury shares and stock-based compensation award shares, and per share data presented herein have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the impact of the increase in authorized shares and the stock split, as appropriate.
Venezuela – Our operations in Venezuela generally consist of a service center that performs service and repair activities. In addition, certain of our operations in other countries sell equipment and parts that are typically denominated in United States ("U.S.") dollars directly to Venezuelan customers. Our Venezuelan subsidiary's sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and total assets at September 30, 2014 represented less than 1% of consolidated sales and total assets for the same periods. Effective February 13, 2013, the Venezuelan government devalued its currency (bolivar) from 4.3 to 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. As a result of the devaluation, we recognized a loss of $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2013. The loss was reported in other expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of income and resulted in no tax benefit.
In the first quarter of 2014, the Venezuelan government expanded the use of periodic auctions for U.S. dollars conducted under the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration ("SICAD I"). At September 30, 2014 the SICAD I exchange rate was 12.0 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, compared with the official exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar ("Official"). In addition, during the second quarter of 2014 the Venezuelan government created a third currency exchange mechanism ("SICAD II") that is currently being interpreted to be available to all entities for all transactions at an exchange rate that is significantly less favorable than the Official exchange rate or the SICAD I exchange rate.
As of September 30, 2014, we believe the Official exchange rate continues to be the most appropriate rate to remeasure the U.S. dollar value of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of our Venezuelan subsidiary. We are continuing to assess and monitor the ongoing impact of the recent changes in the Venezuelan foreign exchange market on our Venezuelan operations and imports into the market, including our Venezuelan subsidiary's ability to remit cash for dividends and other payments at the Official exchange rate, as well as further actions of the Venezuelan government and economic conditions that may adversely impact our future consolidated financial condition or results of operations. For reference, if we were to remeasure our bolivar-denominated net monetary assets as of September 30, 2014 utilizing the SICAD I or SICAD II exchange rate, it is estimated that the resulting loss would have been approximately $7 million or $13 million, respectively.
Accounting Policies
Significant accounting policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, are detailed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report.
Accounting Developments
Pronouncements Implemented
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-04, "Liabilities (Topic 405) - Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date," which requires a reporting entity that is jointly and severally liable to

5


Table of Contents





measure the obligation as the sum of the amount the entity has agreed with co-obligors to pay and any additional amount it expects to pay on behalf of one or more co-obligors. The scope of this ASU excludes obligations addressed by existing guidance. The ASU shall be applied retrospectively for arrangements existing at the beginning of the year of adoption. Our adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 effective January 1, 2014 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-07, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) - Liquidation Basis of Accounting," which requires an entity to prepare its financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting when liquidation is imminent. Liquidation is imminent when the likelihood is remote that the entity will return from liquidation and either (a) a plan for liquidation is approved by the person or persons with the authority to make such a plan effective and the likelihood is remote that the execution of the plan will be blocked by other parties or (b) a plan for liquidation is being imposed by other forces (for example, involuntary bankruptcy). The ASU shall be applied prospectively from the day that liquidation becomes imminent. Our adoption of ASU No. 2013-07 effective January 1, 2014 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists," which provides guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The ASU shall be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 effective January 1, 2014 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity," which provides guidance on the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, is disposed of by sale, or is disposed of other than by sale (e.g., by abandonment or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff). This ASU also introduces new disclosure requirements for discontinued operations. The ASU shall be applied prospectively to (a) all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity and (b) businesses or nonprofit activities that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur after the effective date. We early adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2014 and it did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
 Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in "Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)." The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. There are also expanded disclosure requirements in this ASU. For public entities ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2014-09 on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11 "Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures." This ASU changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financings so that such transactions will now be accounted for as secured borrowings. This accounting change is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014 and early adoption is not permitted. There are also new disclosure requirements in this ASU. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-11 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12 "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." This ASU was issued to address share-based payment awards with a performance target affecting vesting that could be achieved after the employee’s requisite service period. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. This ASU may be applied either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-12 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern." This ASU requires management to evaluate

6


Table of Contents





whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the ability of a company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable. Further, the ASU provides management guidance regarding its responsibility to disclose the ability of a company to continue as a going concern in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Disposition, Acquisition and Exit of Joint Venture
Effective March 31, 2014, we sold our Flow Control Division's ("FCD") Naval OY ("Naval") business to a Finnish valve manufacturer. The sale included Naval's manufacturing facility located in Laitila, Finland and a service and support center located in St. Petersburg, Russia. The cash proceeds for the sale totaled $46.8 million, net of cash divested, and resulted in a $13.4 million pre-tax gain recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Net sales related to the Naval business totaled $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2014.
As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report, effective December 10, 2013, we acquired for inclusion in Industrial Product Division ("IPD"), 100% of Innovative Mag-Drive, LLC ("Innomag"), a privately-owned, U.S.-based company specializing in advanced sealless magnetic drive centrifugal pumps for the chemical and general industries, in an asset purchase up to $78.7 million in cash. Of the total purchase price, $67.5 million has been paid. The remaining $11.2 million of the total purchase price is contingent upon Innomag achieving certain performance metrics during the two- and five-year periods following the acquisition, and to the extent achieved, is expected to be paid in cash within four months of the performance measurement dates. We recorded a liability of $7.5 million as an estimate of the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration, which is based on the weighted probability of achievement of the performance metrics. No pro forma financial information has been presented due to immateriality.
As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report, effective March 28, 2013, we and our joint venture partner agreed to exit our joint venture, Audco India, Limited (“AIL”), which manufactures integrated industrial valves in India. To effect the exit, in two separate transactions, FCD acquired 100% ownership of AIL's plug valve manufacturing business in an asset purchase for cash of $10.1 million and sold its 50% equity interest in AIL to the joint venture partner for $46.2 million in cash. We remeasured to fair value our previously held equity interest in the purchased net assets of the plug valve manufacturing business resulting in net assets acquired of approximately $25 million and a pre-tax gain of $15.3 million. The sale of our equity interest in AIL resulted in a pre-tax gain of $13.0 million. In the first quarter of 2013, both of the above gains were recorded in net earnings from affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of income. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality. Prior to these transactions, our 50% interest in AIL was recorded using the equity method of accounting.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans
We maintain the Flowserve Corporation Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2010 Plan"), which is a shareholder-approved plan authorizing the issuance of up to 8,700,000 shares of our common stock in the form of restricted shares, restricted share units and performance-based units (collectively referred to as "Restricted Shares"), incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights and bonus stock. Of the 8,700,000 shares of common stock authorized under the 2010 Plan, 5,072,904 were available for issuance as of September 30, 2014. The Flowserve Corporation 2004 Stock Compensation Plan expired on June 22, 2014, with 827,835 shares unissued. 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 $36.5 million and $31.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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 was less than $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The total fair value of Restricted Shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $34.5 million and $34.9 million, respectively.
We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $5.5 million ($8.4 million pre-tax) and $5.3 million ($8.1 million pre-tax) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $17.6 million ($26.7 million pre-tax) and $16.1 million ($24.4 million pre-tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Unvested Restricted Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2014, includes approximately 818,000 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, 2012 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 1,593,000 shares based on performance targets. As of September 30, 2014, we estimate vesting of approximately 1,007,000 shares based on expected achievement of performance targets.

Derivative Instruments and Hedges
Our risk management and foreign currency derivatives and hedging 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 2013 Annual Report and Note 7 of this Quarterly Report for additional information on our derivatives. We enter into foreign exchange forward and swap 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. All designated foreign exchange hedging instruments are highly effective.
Foreign exchange contracts designated as hedging instruments had a notional value of $66.4 million and $6.2 million, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Foreign exchange contracts with third parties not designated as hedging instruments had a notional value of $726.8 million and $610.7 million, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. At September 30, 2014, the length of foreign exchange contracts currently in place ranged from one day to 18 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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $40.0 million and $140.0 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding interest rate swaps with third parties. All interest rate swaps are highly effective. At September 30, 2014, the maximum remaining length of any interest rate swap contract in place was approximately 9 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 foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.

Senior Notes
As discussed in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report, on November 1, 2013 we completed the public offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due November 15, 2023. On September 11, 2012, we completed the public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due September 15, 2022.

Senior Credit Facility
As discussed in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report, on October 4, 2013 we amended our existing credit agreement that provided for a $400.0 million term loan (“Term Loan Facility”) and a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of October 4, 2018. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. We had outstanding letters of credit of $74.8 million and $106.1 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which reduced our borrowing capacity to $925.2 million and $893.9 million, respectively. Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our 100% owned domestic subsidiaries. Such guarantees are released if we achieve certain credit ratings. We had not achieved these ratings as of September 30, 2014. Our compliance with applicable financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facility is tested quarterly, and we complied with all covenants at September 30, 2014.
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 0.175% (per annum) during the period ended September 30, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we made scheduled repayments of $30.0 million under our Term Loan Facility. We have scheduled repayments of $10.0 million due in each of the next four quarters on our Senior Credit Facility. Our Senior Credit Facility bears a floating rate of interest, and we have $40.0 million of notional amount of interest rate swaps at September 30, 2014 to hedge exposure to floating interest rates.

European Letter of Credit Facility
Due to the increased capacity and the removal of the performance letters of credit sublimit of the Revolving Credit Facility, we elected not to renew our 364-day unsecured, committed €125.0 million European Letter of Credit Facility ("European LOC Facility"), which expired in October 2013; however, the existing letters of credit remain outstanding and are still bound by the facility's covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants under our European LOC Facility as of September 30, 2014.
We had outstanding letters of credit drawn on the European LOC Facility of €7.5 million ($9.5 million) and €69.6 million ($95.4 million) as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

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. 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.
Our financial instruments are presented at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, with the exception of our long-term debt. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt, excluding the Senior Notes, approximates the carrying value and is classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of our debt is included in Note 5. The estimated fair value of our Senior Notes at September 30, 2014 was $805.0 million compared to the carrying value of $797.1 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 (e.g., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and short-term debt) approximated fair value due to their short-term nature at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

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 one of our French subsidiaries was included, concerning suspected inappropriate activities conducted in connection with the United Nations Oil for Food Program. As previously disclosed, the French investigation of our French subsidiary was formally opened in the first quarter of 2010, and our French subsidiary 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. While 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. On February 6, 2013 the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a ruling that dismissed the suit with prejudice. The plaintiff appealed the dismissal, and that appeal remains pending. We will continue to vigorously contest the suit, and we believe that we have valid defenses to the claims asserted. 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 five 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, including contract disputes, 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.

Shareholders’ Equity
Dividends – On February 17, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock from $0.14 per share to $0.16 per share payable quarterly beginning on April 11, 2014. On February 19, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock from $0.12 per share to $0.14 per share, payable quarterly beginning on April 12, 2013. Generally, our dividend date-of-record is in the last month of the quarter, and the dividend is paid the following month. Any subsequent dividends will be reviewed by our Board of Directors and declared in its discretion dependent on its assessment of our financial situation and business outlook at the applicable time.
Share Repurchase Program – On February 19, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a $750.0 million share repurchase authorization, which included approximately $193 million of remaining capacity under the prior $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization. Our share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, and we reserve the right to limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time without notice.
We repurchased 475,177 shares of our outstanding common stock for $35.3 million, and 1,115,276 shares for $63.8 million, during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We repurchased 2,485,481 shares of our outstanding common stock for $188.3 million and 6,876,380 shares for $370.1 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, we have $196.0 million of remaining capacity under our current share repurchase program.

Income Taxes
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, we earned $183.3 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $52.7 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.8%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we earned $505.9 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $141.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.0%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations.
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we earned $182.4 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $55.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 30.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we earned $501.3 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $155.0 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 30.9%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations, partially offset by taxes incurred on the exit of our equity investment in the AIL joint venture discussed in Note 2.
As of September 30, 2014, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1.8 million from December 31, 2013. With limited exception, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax audits for years through 2012, state and local income tax audits for years through 2009 or non-U.S. income tax audits for years through 2007. We are currently under examination for various years in Austria, France, Germany, India, Italy, Singapore, the U.S. and Venezuela.
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 approximately $9.2 million within the next 12 months.

At September 30, 2014, we expect to recognize loss of $2.7 million, net of deferred taxes, into earnings in the next twelve months related to designated cash flow hedges based on their fair values at September 30, 2014.
16. Realignment Program
In the fourth quarter of 2013, we initiated a realignment program to reduce and optimize certain non-strategic QRC and manufacturing facilities and our overall cost structure ("2013 Realignment Program"). See Note 20 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report for additional information on our 2013 Realignment Program. We expect total 2013 Realignment Program charges will be $15.8 million for approved plans, of which $12.5 million has been incurred through September 30, 2014. The restructuring reserve was $2.0 million and $6.3 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Generally, the aforementioned charges were or will be paid in cash, except for asset write-downs, which are non-cash charges. The majority of remaining cash payments related to our 2013 Realignment Program will be incurred by the end of 2014.
Item 2.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Our Company
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, control 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 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 18,000 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 drive customer investments in our offerings and use of our services to replace or repair installed products. The aftermarket portion of our business also helps provide business stability during various economic periods. The aftermarket business, which is served by our network of 172 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. It is generally a higher margin business compared to our original equipment 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:
Engineered Product Division ("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, 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 valuable 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 business segments 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 also remain focused 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 2014, we experienced strengthening in our bookings in the oil and gas and general industries, partially offset by a decline in power.  From a geographical standpoint, we saw continued strength in North America and Europe, partially offset by decreased bookings in Asia Pacific.
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 investments in localized customer service remain key components of our long-term growth strategy, and also provide stability during various economic periods. We believe that our

23

commitment to localize service support capabilities close to our customers' operations through our QRC network has enabled us 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 ongoing challenges affecting many companies in our industry with a significant multinational presence, such as economic, political, currency and other risks.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
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, effective March 31, 2014 we sold our FCD Naval business to a Finnish valve manufacturer.
As discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, effective December 10, 2013, we acquired for inclusion in IPD, Innomag, a privately-owned, U.S. based company specializing in advanced sealless magnetic drive centrifugal pumps in the chemical and general industries. 
As discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, FCD sold its equity interest in the AIL joint venture and acquired AIL's plug valve manufacturing business in an asset purchase for cash, effective March 28, 2013.

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, 2014 increased by $45.0 million, or 3.7%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $16 million. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily driven by the oil and gas and general industries, partially offset by the power generation industry. The increase was more heavily weighted toward customer aftermarket bookings.

Bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $216.0 million, or 5.9%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $42 million. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily driven by the oil and gas, chemical and general industries, partially offset by the power generation industry. The increase was more heavily weighted toward customer original equipment bookings.

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $25.1 million, or 2.0%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $16 million. The decrease was driven by customer original equipment sales, partially offset by increased aftermarket sales, and decreased sales into Europe and the Middle East. Net sales to international customers, including export sales from the U.S., were approximately 70% of total sales for both the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $2.1 million and $7.0 million, respectively, as compared with the same periods in 2013. The increases were primarily attributable to interest expense associated with our senior notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2013. Approximately 12% of our Term Loan Facility was at fixed interest rates at September 30, 2014, after the effects of $40.0 million of notional interest rate swaps.

Other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $3.9 million as compared with the same period in 2013, due in part to a $2.2 million increase in gains arising from transactions in currencies other than our sites' functional currencies. This change is primarily due to the foreign currency exchange rate movements of the British pound in relation to the U.S. dollar during the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared with the same period in 2013.

Other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $7.6 million, as compared with the same period in 2013, due primarily to a $5.5 million decrease in losses on foreign exchange contracts and the $4.0 million loss due to the Venezuelan currency devaluation in 2013 that did not recur. The change is primarily due to the foreign currency exchange rate movements of the Japanese yen and Swedish krona in relation to the U.S. dollar during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared with the same period in 2013.

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. 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 spare 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 43 countries with 30 manufacturing facilities worldwide, nine of which are located in Europe, 11 in North America, five in Asia and five in Latin America, and it has 125 QRCs, including those co-located in manufacturing facilities.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $1.3 million as compared with the same period in 2013. Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of 35.1% increased from 33.7% for the same period in 2013. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to a sales mix shift to higher margin aftermarket sales, partially offset by the negative impact of decreased sales on the absorption of fixed manufacturing costs.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $11.1 million, or 1.8%, as compared with the same period in 2013. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of 34.9% increased from 34.0% for the same period in 2013.

Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $1.9 million, or 1.7%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $3 million. The decrease was due primarily to a $1.3 million decrease in gross profit.
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $1.6 million, or 0.5%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $8 million. The decrease was due to a $11.1 million decrease in gross profit, substantially offset by a $8.9 million decrease in SG&A (including a decrease due to currency effects of approximately $6.7 million). The decrease in SG&A was due primarily to decreased selling-related expenses.
Backlog of $1,557.0 million at September 30, 2014 increased by $245.6 million, or 18.7%, as compared with December 31, 2013. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $40 million.

Bookings for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $18.8 million, or 5.0%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $1 million and the negative impact on the comparison of approximately 3% due to the sale of the Naval business in the first quarter of 2014. The increase in customer bookings was primarily driven by the oil and gas industry. Increased customer bookings $28.4 million into the Middle East, $10.5 million in North America and $8.3 million into Latin America were partially offset by a decrease of $14.6 million into Europe and $10.6 million into Africa. The increase was primarily driven by increased customer original equipment bookings.
Bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $23.6 million, or 1.9%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The decrease included currency benefits of approximately $12 million. The decrease in customer bookings was primarily driven by the oil and gas and general industries. Decreased customer bookings of $28.0 million into Latin America, $21.3 million into Asia Pacific and $10.3 million into Africa were partially offset by an increase of $36.8 million into the Middle East and $7.1 million into Europe. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased customer original equipment bookings.
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $7.4 million, or 1.9%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The currency impact was consistent period over period but the sale of the Naval business in the first quarter of 2014 resulted in a negative impact to the comparison of approximately 3% in the quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased customer original equipment sales, partially offset by increased customer aftermarket sales. A sales decrease of $9.3 million into

Europe, primarily related to the Naval business, and $7.2 million into Asia Pacific were partially offset by an increase of $7.4 million into Latin America.
Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $13.3 million, or 1.1%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The decrease included currency benefits of approximately $10 million and was primarily driven by decreased customer original equipment sales, partially offset by increased customer aftermarket sales. A sales decrease of $26.1 million into Europe and $14.5 million into Asia Pacific were partially offset by an increase of $17.8 million into Latin America and $8.1 million into North America.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $4.2 million, or 2.8%, as compared with the same period in 2013. Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of 37.0% decreased from 37.4% for the same period in 2013. The decrease in gross profit margin was attributable to unfavorable product mix of shipments in the quarter.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $12.0 million, or 2.8%, as compared with the same period in 2013. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 of 37.4% increased from 36.0% for the same period in 2013. The increase in gross profit margin was attributable to continued focus on low cost sourcing and cost control initiatives.
Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $4.4 million, or 5.7%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to the $4.2 million decrease in gross profit.
Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $2.1 million, or 0.9%, as compared with the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to the $28.3 million in pre-tax gains realized from transactions concerning the AIL joint venture in 2013, that did not recur, partially offset by the $12.0 million increase in gross profit and the $13.4 million gain from the sale of the Naval business in the first quarter of 2014.
Backlog of $789.7 million at September 30, 2014 increased by $20.1 million, or 2.6%, as compared with December 31, 2013. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $28 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, 2014 was $162.9 million, as compared with $363.8 million at December 31, 2013.
Our cash balance decreased by $200.9 million to $162.9 million as of September 30, 2014 as compared with December 31, 2013. The cash used during the first nine months of 2014 included $188.3 million of share repurchases, $83.6 million in capital expenditures, $63.3 million in dividend payments and $30.0 million of payments on long-term debt, partially offset by $126.2 million in cash provided by operating activities and $46.8 million in net proceeds from the sale of our Naval business.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our cash provided by operating activities was $126.2 million, as compared with $108.9 million for the same period in 2013, as a result of higher net earnings and working capital changes. Working capital increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due primarily to higher inventory of $113.8 million, lower accrued liabilities of $57.0 million and lower accounts payable of $88.4 million. Working capital increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due primarily to higher inventory of $101.7 million, lower accrued liabilities of $61.1 million and lower accounts payable of $127.0 million.
Increases in accounts receivable used $27.1 million of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with a source of $10.8 million for the same period in 2013. As of September 30, 2014, our days’ sales outstanding ("DSO") was 84 days as compared with 80 days as of September 30, 2013. We have experienced increased aging and slower collections of accounts receivable with certain customers in Latin America due to unfavorable economic conditions in the region. However, these accounts receivable have extended terms compared to our usual terms and are not disputed, and we have not historically had

write-offs relating to these customers. For reference purposes based on 2014 sales, an improvement in our DSO of one day could provide approximately $16 million in cash flow.
Increases in inventory used $113.8 million of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with $101.7 million for the same period in 2013. Inventory turns were 2.8 and 2.7 times for September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our calculation of inventory turns does not reflect the impact of advanced cash received from our customers. For reference purposes based on 2014 data, an improvement of one-tenth of a turn could yield approximately $29 million in cash flow. Decreases in accounts payable used $88.4 million of cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared with $127.0 million for the same period in 2013.
Cash flows used by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $35.2 million as compared with $57.6 million for the same period in 2013. Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $83.6 million, a decrease of $11.1 million as compared with the same period in 2013. Our capital expenditures are focused on strategic initiatives to pursue new markets, geographic expansion, information technology infrastructure and cost reduction opportunities. In 2014, total capital expenditures are expected to be between $150 million and $160 million, including our investment to further expand and consolidate our valve activities in China and before consideration of any acquisition activity. As discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, during the first quarter of 2014 we sold our Naval business for $46.8 million in net cash proceeds and in the first quarter of 2013 we sold our 50% equity interest in AIL to our joint venture partner for $46.2 million in cash.
Cash flows used by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $277.6 million as compared with $237.0 million for the same period in 2013. Cash outflows during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 resulted primarily from the repurchase of $188.3 million of common shares, $63.3 million of dividend payments and $30.0 million in payments on long-term debt. Cash outflows for the same period in 2013 resulted primarily from the repurchase of $370.1 million of common shares and $57.3 million in dividend payments, partially offset by $196.0 million in net proceeds from short-term financing.
Approximately 3% of our Term Loan Facility is due to mature in the remainder of 2014 and approximately 13% in 2015. Our Senior Credit Facility matures in October 2018. After the effects of $40.0 million of notional interest rate swaps, approximately 12% of our Term Loan Facility was at fixed rates at September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, we had available capacity of $925.2 million on our $1.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility. Our Revolving Credit Facility is committed and held by a diversified group of financial institutions.
During each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we contributed $20.0 million to our U.S. pension plan. At December 31, 2013, 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 do not anticipate making any additional contributions to our U.S. pension plan in 2014, excluding direct benefits paid. 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, 2014, $161.6 million of our total cash balance of $162.9 million was held by foreign subsidiaries, $101.5 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 that would generate adverse tax results. However, in the event this cash is needed to fund domestic operations, we estimate the full $101.5 million could be repatriated resulting in a U.S. cash tax liability between $5 million and $15 million. Should we be required to repatriate this cash, it could limit our ability to assert permanent reinvestment of foreign earnings and invested capital in future periods.
Considering our current debt structure and cash needs, we currently believe cash flows generated 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 February 19, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a $750.0 million share repurchase authorization, which included approximately $193 million of remaining capacity under the previous $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization. As of September 30, 2014, we have $196.0 million of remaining capacity under our current share repurchase program. While we intend to continue to return cash through dividends and/or share repurchases for the foreseeable future, any future returns of cash through dividends and/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 and market conditions at such time.

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 our disposition, acquisition and exit of our AIL joint venture.
Financing
Credit Facilities
On October 4, 2013 we amended our existing credit agreement that provided for a $400.0 million Term Loan Facility and a Revolving Credit Facility. A discussion of our amended 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 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 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 and Senior Credit Facilities. We complied with all covenants through September 30, 2014.
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 2013 Annual Report. These critical policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 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, Russian 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;

increased aging and slower collection of receivables, particularly in Latin America and other emerging markets;

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 2013 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 foreign 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, 2014, after the effect of interest rate swaps, we had $300.0 million of variable rate debt obligations outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 1.48%. 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 $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $40.0 million and $140.0 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 (losses) gains associated with foreign currency translation of $(100.2) million and $38.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $(89.5) million and $(28.5) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are included in other comprehensive loss.
We employ a foreign currency risk management strategy to minimize potential changes in cash flows from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. Where available, the use of foreign exchange contracts allows us to mitigate transactional exposure to exchange rate fluctuations as the gains or losses incurred on the foreign 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 and beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013 instruments that meet certain criteria are designated for hedge accounting. As of September 30, 2014, we had a U.S. dollar equivalent of $793.2 million in aggregate notional amount outstanding in foreign exchange contracts with third parties, as compared with $610.7 million at December 31, 2013. Transactional currency gains and losses arising from transactions outside of our sites’ functional currencies and changes in fair value of non-designated foreign exchange contracts are included in our consolidated results of operations. We recognized foreign currency net gains (losses) of $5.6 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $(0.3) million and $(8.5) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
Based on a sensitivity analysis at September 30, 2014, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 would have impacted our net earnings by approximately $27 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 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.
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, 2014. 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, 2014.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 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 2013 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 risk factors discussed in our 2013 Annual Report and subsequent SEC filings. The risks described in this Quarterly Report, our 2013 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 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report includes a discussion of our share repurchase program and payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock. The number of shares repurchased and price paid per share below have been adjusted to reflect the 2013 three-for-one stock split discussed in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in "Item 1. Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we repurchased a total of 475,177 shares of our common stock for $35.3 million (representing an average cost of $74.19 per share). As of September 30, 2014, we have $196.0 million of remaining capacity under our current share repurchase program. The following table sets forth the repurchase data for each of the three months during the quarter ended September 30, 2014:
