NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, from which related information herein has been derived.

NOTE B — INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The costs for approximately 80% of inventories at June 30, 2012 and 82% at December 31, 2011 are determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, with the remainder determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimate of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

The major components of inventories are as follows (net of LIFO reserves):

NOTE C — PRODUCT WARRANTIES

NOTE D — PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan covering several locations. Additionally, the Company sponsors defined contribution pension plans at two other locations not participating in the defined benefit pension plan.

A 401(k) plan that includes a partial Company match is also available. For the locations covered by the defined benefit pension plan, employees hired after January 1, 2008 participate in an enhanced 401(k) plan instead of the defined benefit pension plan. Benefits are based on the employee’s age and years of service with the Company. Employees hired prior to January 1, 2008 were not affected by the change to the 401(k) plan.

The Company also sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit health care plan that provides certain health benefits to a majority of retirees and their spouses. The Company funds the cost of these benefits as incurred.

The following tables present the components of net periodic benefit cost:

Executive Overview and Outlook

The Gorman-Rupp Company is a leading designer, manufacturer and international marketer of pumps and related equipment (pump and motor controls) for use in diverse water, wastewater, construction, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire protection, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), military and other liquid-handling applications. The Company attributes its success to long-term product quality, applications and performance combined with delivery and service, and continually develops initiatives to improve performance in these key areas.

PART I — CONTINUED

Gorman-Rupp actively pursues growth opportunities through organic growth, international business opportunities and acquisitions. We continually invest in training for our employees, new product development and modern manufacturing equipment and technology designed to increase production efficiency and capacity and drive growth by delivering innovative solutions to our customers. The Company also is currently focused on incorporating significantly changing engine designs related to new emission standards mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) into our applicable products. These new governmental regulations have added, and will continue to add, additional costs to engine-driven pump products.

Net sales during the second quarter 2012 were $92.6 million compared to $92.2 million during the same period in 2011. Net income was $7.6 million compared to $8.9 million in the second quarter 2011, a 14.6% decrease. Earnings per share were $0.36 and $0.42 for the respective periods, a 14.3% decrease.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased 10.9% to $195.4 million compared to $176.2 million during the same period in 2011. Net income increased 11.3% to $17.8 million compared to $16.0 in the first six months of 2011. Earnings per share were $0.85 and $0.76 for the respective periods.

Sales were flat in the quarter compared to the second quarter 2011 and less than the record first quarter 2012. Strong sales increases occurred in the agricultural and fire protection markets and sales also rose in the petroleum and OEM markets. However, these increases were largely offset by decreased sales in the municipal market primarily due to decreased shipments of pumps supplied for domestic flood control projects and municipal funding constraints affecting sales of sewage pumps and systems, as well as reduced demand for pumps for natural gas drilling applications and from rental businesses. Encouragingly, international sales grew 38.0% in the second quarter 2012 compared to the same period last year, while domestic sales decreased 15.8% largely due to the aforementioned decline in municipal market sales.

The decrease in earnings for the quarter was principally driven by a less favorable product mix and increased healthcare expense of $0.02 per share.

The Company’s backlog of orders was $133.7 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $154.2 million a year ago and $155.5 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease from June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011 was primarily due to record shipments during the first six months of 2012 combined with lower incoming orders for the construction and municipal markets.

We believe that the Company is well positioned to grow organically at generally comparable operating margins over the long term by expanding our customer base both domestically and globally and through new product offerings. We expect that the increasing need for water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation within the United States, and similar needs internationally, along with increasing demand for pumps and pump related equipment for industrial and agricultural applications, will provide excellent growth opportunities for Gorman-Rupp in the future.

Second Quarter 2012 Compared to Second Quarter 2011

Net Sales

Sales were flat in the quarter as compared to the second quarter 2011. Fire protection sales increased $6.1 million due to an increase in sales internationally and sales in the agriculture market increased $1.7 million primarily due to agricultural cash-flow benefits from continuing high commodity prices and drought conditions in the United States. In addition, sales increased in the petroleum and OEM markets by $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. These increases were offset by decreased sales in the municipal market of $7.0 million principally due to decreased sales of pumps supplied for domestic flood control projects and funding constraints at the federal and local levels negatively affecting sales of sewage pumps and pump systems. Sales also decreased in the construction market by $2.0 million.

Cost of Products Sold and Gross Profit

Gross profit was $22.7 million in second quarter 2012 compared to $24.2 million in the same period in 2011, a decrease of 6.2%, resulting in gross margins of 24.6% and 26.3%, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin percentage was principally due to a less favorable product mix driven primarily by lower sales in the municipal market and higher sales in the fire protection market, and increased healthcare expense of $532,000.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

The modest increase in SG&A expenses was principally due to increases in wage costs of $195,000 and travel and advertising expenses of $133,000 related to second quarter trade shows.

PART I — CONTINUED

Net Income

The decrease in net income was primarily due to the factors described above, and the negative impacts of a less favorable product mix. The difference in the effective tax rate between the two periods is primarily due to the research and development tax credit that has not been extended for 2012.

Six Months 2012 Compared to Six Months 2011

Net Sales

Record first-half sales included increases across all major markets the Company serves except municipal. The largest increases were in the fire protection market of $7.6 million due to an increase in sales internationally, the agriculture market of $4.3 million due to agricultural cash-flow benefits from continuing high commodity prices and drought conditions in the United States, the industrial market of $4.3 million primarily due to oil and gas drilling and the OEM market of $4.3 million related to increased power generation demand. In addition, sales increased $2.9 million in the petroleum market and $2.7 million in the construction market. These increases were partially offset by lower sales in the municipal market primarily of $6.5 million due to decreased sales of pumps supplied for domestic flood control projects as compared to the first six months of 2011.

Cost of Products Sold and Gross Profit

Gross profit was $49.4 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $45.6 million in the same period in 2011, an increase of 8.3%, resulting in gross margins of 25.3% and 25.9%, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin percentage was principally due to a less favorable product mix driven primarily by lower sales in the municipal market and higher sales in the fire protection and agricultural markets, and increased healthcare expense of $611,000.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

The increase in SG&A expenses was principally due to increases of $449,000 in wage costs and travel and advertising expenses of $362,000 related to trade shows.

Net Income

The increase in net income was primarily due to the factors described above. The difference in the effective tax rate between the two periods is primarily due to the research and development tax credit that has not been extended for 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $17.1 million, and there was $9.0 million in outstanding bank debt at June 30, 2012 which is expected to be repaid during the next twelve months. In addition, the Company had $24.0 million available in bank lines of credit after deducting $6.0 million in outstanding letters of credit primarily related to customer orders. The Company was in compliance with its nominal restrictive covenants, including limits on additional borrowings and maintenance of certain operating and financial ratios, at June 30, 2012.

Working capital increased 5.8% from December 31, 2011 to $111.1 million at June 30, 2012 primarily due to increased inventory and current accounts receivable.

Liquidity Ratios

The increase in cash provided by operating activities of $4.6 million in the six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 was primarily due to growth in sales and related operating results.

During the first six months of 2012, investing activities of $11.0 million consisted of capital expenditures for an expansion of the National Pump facilities of $2.4 million and machinery and equipment of $8.6 million. Capital expenditures for the full year 2012, consisting principally of machinery and equipment, are estimated to be $14 to $17 million and are expected to be financed through internally generated funds and existing lines of credit.

Net cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 consisted of dividend payments of $4.0 million and re-payment of $1.0 million in short-term debt. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.9 to 1 at June 30, 2012 and 3.1 to 1 at December 31, 2011.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
