NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Amounts in tables in thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Gorman-Rupp Company (the “Company” or “Gorman-Rupp”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, from which related information herein has been derived.

NOTE 2 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined either to be not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with a term of more than one year. Accounting by lessors will remain similar to existing U.S. GAAP. Subsequent accounting standards updates have been issued, which amend and/or clarify the application of ASU 2016-02. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019. See Note 9, Leases for further details.

Table of Contents

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer, and is the unit of account in ASC Topic 606. The transaction price for a customer contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied. For product sales, other than long-term construction-type contracts, the Company recognizes revenue once control has passed at a point in time, which is generally when products are shipped. Payments received for product sales typically occur following delivery and the satisfaction of the performance obligation based upon the terms outlined in the contracts. Substantially all of our customer contracts are fixed-price contracts and the majority of our customer contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer the individual products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. For customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is generally determined based on standalone selling prices charged to customers or using expected cost plus margin.

All of the Company’s performance obligations, and associated revenue, are generally transferred to customers at a point in time, with the exception of certain highly customized pump products, which are transferred to the customer over time.

The Company offers standard warranties for its products to ensure that its products comply with agreed-upon specifications in its contracts. For standard warranties, these do not give rise to performance obligations and represent assurance-type warranties.

Shipping and handling activities related to products sold to customers, whether performed before or after the customer obtains control of the products, are generally accounted for as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the products and not as a separate performance obligation.

On March 31, 2019, the Company had $120.8 million of remaining performance obligations, also referred to as backlog. The Company expects to recognize as revenue substantially all of its remaining performance obligations within one year.

Contract Estimates

Accounting for long-term contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total contract revenue and costs. For long-term contracts, the Company estimates the profit on a contract as the difference between the total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete a contract and recognizes that profit as performance obligations are satisfied. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that could span longer than one year. These assumptions include labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the cost and availability of materials, and the performance of subcontractors as applicable.

As a significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of our contracts, the Company reviews and updates its contract-related estimates regularly. Adjustments in estimated profit on contracts are accounted for under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date on a contract is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance are recognized using the adjusted estimate.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For certain highly customized pump products, revenue is recognized over time before the customer is invoiced, resulting in contract assets. Sometimes the Company receives advances or deposits from its customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract assets and liabilities are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Other assets and Deferred revenue and customer deposits, respectively, on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the period was $2.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

NOTE 4 - INVENTORIES

LIFO inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and all other inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Replacement cost approximates current cost and the excess over LIFO cost is approximately $64.6 million and $63.7 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Allowances for excess and obsolete inventory totaled $5.2 million and $5.3 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. 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.

Inventories are comprised of the following:

 

Inventories, net:    March 31,

NOTE 7 - PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (“Plan”) covering certain domestic employees. Benefits are based on each covered employee’s years of service and compensation. The Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable U.S. regulations. The Plan was closed to new participants effective January 1, 2008. Employees hired after this date, in eligible locations, participate in an enhanced 401(k) plan instead of the defined benefit pension plan. Employees hired prior to this date continue to accrue benefits.

Additionally, the Company sponsors defined contribution pension plans made available to all domestic and Canadian employees. The Company funds the cost of these benefits as incurred.

The Company also sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit postretirement health care plan that provides health benefits to certain domestic and Canadian retirees and eligible spouses and dependent children. The Company funds the cost of these benefits as incurred.

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

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a settlement loss relating to retirees that received lump-sum distributions from the Company’s defined benefit pension plan totaling $0.4 million. These charges were the result of lump-sum payments to retirees which exceeded the Plan’s actuarial service and interest cost thresholds. No settlement loss was incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

NOTE 9 - LEASES

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective method as of the effective date of January 1, 2019 (the effective date method). Under the effective date method, financial results reported in periods prior to 2019 are unchanged. In transition to the new lease guidance, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which allowed the Company to not reassess whether a contract is or contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs; however, the Company did not elect the hindsight transitional practical expedient. The Company has also elected the practical expedient to not account for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) separately from the nonlease components. After assessment of the cumulative impact of adopting ASU 2016-02, it was determined that the cumulative effect adjustment required under the new guidance was immaterial and therefore the Company did not record a retrospective adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2019. The Company recognized additional operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $1.6 million as of January 1, 2019.

Table of Contents

The Company is currently a lessee under a number of operating leases and one finance lease for certain offices, manufacturing facilities, land, office equipment and automobiles, none of which are material to its operations. The Company’s leases generally have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 5 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year. These leases do not have significant rent escalation holidays, concessions, leasehold improvement incentives, or other build-out clauses. Further, the leases do not contain contingent rent provisions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Amounts in tables in thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts)

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, and notes thereto, and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Executive Overview

The following discussion of Results of Operations includes certain non-GAAP financial data and measures such as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted earnings per share amounts which exclude non-cash pension settlement charges in 2018. Management utilizes these adjusted financial data and measures to assess comparative operations against those of prior periods without the distortion of non-comparable factors. The Gorman-Rupp Company believes that these non-GAAP financial data and measures also will be useful to investors in assessing the strength of the Company’s underlying operations from period to period. Provided below is a reconciliation of adjusted earnings per share amounts and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

The Gorman-Rupp Company (“we”, “our”, “Gorman-Rupp” or the “Company”) is a leading designer, manufacturer and international marketer of pumps and pump systems for use in diverse water, wastewater, construction, dewatering, 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 timely delivery and service, and continually seeks to develop initiatives to improve performance in these key areas.

Gorman-Rupp actively pursues growth opportunities through organic growth, international business expansion and acquisitions.

We regularly invest in training for our employees, in new product development and in modern manufacturing equipment, technology and facilities all designed to increase production efficiency and capacity and drive growth by delivering innovative solutions to our customers. We believe that the diversity of our markets is a major contributor to the generally stable financial growth we have produced over the past 85 years.

The Company places a strong emphasis on cash flow generation and maintaining excellent liquidity and financial flexibility. This focus has afforded us the ability to reinvest our cash resources and preserve a strong balance sheet to position us for future acquisition and product development opportunities. The Company had no bank debt as of March 31, 2019. The Company’s cash position increased $3.7 million during the first quarter of 2019 to $50.2 million at March 31, 2019 and the Company generated $12.8 million in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during the same period.

Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2019 were $2.1 million and consisted primarily of machinery and equipment. Capital expenditures for 2019 are presently planned to be in the range of $15-$20 million primarily for building expansion and machinery and equipment purchases, and are expected to be financed through internally-generated funds.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2019 were $96.9 million compared to $96.6 million for the first quarter of 2018, an increase of 0.3% or $0.3 million. Domestic sales increased 5.1% or $3.3 million while international sales decreased 9.4% or $3.0 million compared to the same period in 2018.

Gross profit was $23.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, resulting in gross margin of 24.1%, compared to gross profit of $26.2 million and gross margin of 27.1% for the same period in 2018. Gross margin decreased 300 basis points as a result of material cost increases due to inflation, tariffs and higher freight costs, which began to occur in the second half of 2018. Although material costs have not increased significantly from the fourth quarter of 2018, we did not leverage labor and overhead costs as we were able to do during 2018 on higher sales due to only a modest sales increase in the first quarter of 2019. Selling price increases implemented at the beginning of this year were not fully realized during the first quarter of 2019 due to shipping of 2018 backlog.

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $14.4 million and 14.8% of net sales for the first quarter of 2019 as compared to $14.4 million and 14.9% of net sales for the same period in 2018.

Operating income was $9.0 million, resulting in operating margin of 9.2% for the first quarter of 2019, compared to operating income of $11.9 million and operating margin of 12.3% for the same period in 2018. Operating margin decreased 310 basis points due principally to material cost increases resulting from inflation, tariffs, and higher freight costs.

Net income was $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2019 compared to $9.6 million in the first quarter of 2018, and earnings per share were $0.28 and $0.37 for the respective periods.

The Company’s backlog of orders was $120.8 million at March 31, 2019 compared to $127.3 million at March 31, 2018 and $113.7 million at December 31, 2018. Incoming orders decreased 5.2% compared to the same period in 2018 while increasing 9.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in orders in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 included increases in most of the markets the Company serves, most notably in the municipal market.

On April 25, 2019, the Board of Directors authorized the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.135 per share on the common stock of the Company, payable June 10, 2019, to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2019. This will mark the 277th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by The Gorman-Rupp Company. The dividend yield at March 31, 2019 was 1.6%.

The Company currently expects to continue its exceptional history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.

Outlook

Higher material costs negatively affected our results as shipments during the first quarter of 2019 largely included backlog from 2018 prior to our price increases taking effect. We do expect improvement in our margins going forward as our recent price increases are realized, and we will continue to closely monitor material costs and pricing. We are encouraged with the increase in incoming orders of 9.8% in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, which was across the majority of our markets. Our underlying fundamentals remain strong and we believe that we remain well positioned to drive long-term growth. Our strong balance sheet provides us with the flexibility to continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities and new product development that we expect will help add value to our operations over the longer term. In addition, increased emphasis on infrastructure improvements at both the federal and state levels, coupled with the impact of lower taxes, could be other positive factors over the next several years.

Sales in our water markets increased 4.7% or $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. Sales in the municipal market increased $4.7 million driven primarily by infrastructure needs domestically and sales in the construction market increased $2.4 million due primarily to sales to rental market customers. These increases were partially offset by decreased sales in the fire protection market of $2.4 million driven primarily by softness in international markets and adverse weather domestically. In addition, sales in the agriculture market decreased $1.3 million and sales of repair parts decreased $0.3 million.

Sales decreased 8.8% or $2.8 million in our non-water markets during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018. Sales in the petroleum and industrial markets decreased a combined $1.5 million and sales in the OEM market decreased $1.3 million.

International sales were $29.2 million in the first quarter of 2019 compared to $32.2 million in the same period last year and represented 30% and 33% of total sales for the Company, respectively. International sales decreased most notably in the fire protection market driven primarily by softness in the oil and gas industry and in the petroleum market.

The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 21.9% for the first quarter of 2019 from 24.0% for the first quarter of 2018, due primarily from a favorable adjustment related to U.S. taxes on foreign derived intangible income (FDII), partially offset by an unfavorable adjustment related to U.S. taxes on global intangible low-tax income (GILTI).

The decrease in net income in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 of $2.4 million was due primarily to material cost increases resulting from inflation, tariffs and higher freight costs. Net income in the first quarter of 2018 included a non-cash pension settlement charge of $0.3 million, net of income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $50.2 million and there was no outstanding bank debt at March 31, 2019. The Company had $23.5 million available in bank lines of credit after deducting $7.5 million in outstanding letters of credit primarily related to customer orders. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants, including limits on additional borrowings and maintenance of certain operating and financial ratios, at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure for reporting cash flow, is defined by the Company as adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, less capital expenditures and dividends. The Company believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on cash available for investments, acquisitions and working capital requirements.

The following table reconciles adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization as reconciled above to free cash flow:

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 2019 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to lower gross margin due to higher material costs, and decreases in income taxes payable and commissions payable. These negative effects on cash flow were offset by lower inventories.

During the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, investing activities primarily consisted of capital expenditures for machinery and equipment of $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Net cash used for financing activities for the first three months of 2019 and 2018 primarily consisted of dividend payments of $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

The Company currently expects to continue its exceptional history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
