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, 20172018, the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 20162017, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017 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. Where applicable, prior period information has been updated to conform to current year presentation.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 20172018 ("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 audited consolidated financial statements presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 ("20162017 Annual Report").
Revision to Previously Reported Financial InformationArgentina Highly Inflationary - As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, we identified accounting errors focused mainly at two of our non-U.S. sites in the inventory, accounts receivable, cost of salesEffective July 1, 2018, Argentina was designated as hyperinflationary, and selling, general and administrative balances for prior periods through the first quarter of 2017. We assessed these errors, individually and in the aggregate, and concluded that they were not material to any prior annual or interim period. However, to facilitate comparisons among periods we revised our previously issued audited consolidated financial information which is included in our 2016 Annual Report and unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the interim periods included in our Form 10-Q/A and Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. We also corrected the timing of immaterial previously recorded out-of-period adjustments and reflected them in the revised prior period financial statements, where applicable. See Note 2 for more information.
Brazil Long-Lived Asset Impairment In the second quarter of 2017, due to continued capital spending declines in the Brazilian oil and gas market and economic and political circumstances, including the indictment of the former president, the decision was made to scale back certain of our operations in Brazil. Asas a result, we began using the U.S. dollar as our functional currency in the second quarter of 2017, we tested our related long-lived assets, which primarily consist of property, plant and equipment, for recoverability and recorded a $26.0 million impairment charge to selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") within our Engineered Product Division ("EPD") segment.
VenezuelaArgentina. Our operations in Venezuela primarily consist of a service center that performs service and repair activities. Our VenezuelanArgentinian subsidiary's sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 represented less than 0.5% of consolidated sales2018 and itstotal assets at September 30, 20172018 represented less than 0.5% of total consolidated assets. Assets primarily consisted of United States ("U.S.") dollar-denominated monetary assets and bolivar-denominated non-monetary assets at September 30, 2017. In addition, certainapproximately 1% of our operations in other countries sell equipmentconsolidated sales and parts that are typically denominated in U.S. dollars directly to Venezuelan customers. In the third quarter of 2016 we recorded a charge of $73.5 million to SG&A to fully reserve for those potentially uncollectible accounts receivable (classified as other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheet) and a charge to cost of sales ("COS") of $1.9 million to reserve for related net inventory exposures. We continue to pursue payments from our Venezuelan customer.total assets.
Valuation of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets – As discussed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report, the value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets is tested for impairment as of December 31 each year or whenever events or circumstances indicate such assets may be impaired.
We did not record an impairment of goodwill in 2016, 2015 or 2014; however at December 31, 2016 the estimated fair value of our Engineered Product Operations ("EPO") and Industrial Product Division ("IPD") reporting units reduced significantly due to broad-based capital spending declines and heightened pricing pressure experienced in the oil and gas markets which are anticipated to continue in the near to mid-term. Although we concluded that there is no impairment on the goodwill associated with our EPO and IPD reporting units as of December 31, 2016, we will continue to closely monitor their performance and related market conditions for future indicators of potential impairment and reassess accordingly.
Accounting Policies
Significant accounting policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, are detailed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report.

Accounting Developments
Pronouncements Implemented
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-11, "Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." The ASU updates represent changes to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory. Previous to the issuance of this ASU, ASC 330 required that an entity measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The amendments of ASU 2015-11 updates that “market” requirement to “net realizable value,” which is defined by the ASU as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Our adoption of ASU No. 2015-11 effective January 1, 2017 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." The ASU affects the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions as it relates to accounting for income taxes, accounting for forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-09 as of January 1, 2017 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption resulted in the recognition of approximately $1 million of tax expense in our provision of income taxes and an approximately $3 million one-time, cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings related to the change in our accounting policy for estimated forfeitures and share cancellations. In addition, in our statements of cash flows we reclassified cash outflows for employee taxes paid from operating to financing and elected to reclassify cash impacts due to excess tax deficiencies and benefits from financing to operating, which resulted in a net reclassification of approximately $10 million of cash flows used from operating to financing for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUAccounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" (the "New Revenue Standard" or "ASC 606"), which supersedes most of 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 (or as) 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. Companies are permitted to adopt the new standard using one of two transition methods. Under the full retrospective method, the requirements of the new standard are applied to contracts for each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard is recognized in the earliest period presented. Under the modified retrospective method, the requirements of the new standard are applied to contracts that are open as of("Topic 605"). On January 1, 2018, we adopted the required date of adoption, and the cumulative effect of applying the standard is recognized as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings in that same year. The standard also includes significantly expanded disclosure requirements for revenue. Since 2014, the FASB has issued several updates to Topic 606.
We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2014-09 and all related ASU's on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. We plan to adopt the new revenue guidance effective January 1, 2018New Revenue Standard using the modified retrospective method for transition, applying the guidance to those contracts which were not completed as of that date. In 2015,According to our method of transition we established a cross-functional implementation team consisting of representatives from across all of our reportable segments to beginadjusted for the process of analyzing the impactcumulative effect of the new standard onchanges made to our contracts.condensed consolidated balance sheet and recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings by approximately $20 million, mostly associated with the increase in percentage of completion ("POC") method revenue, as a result of initially applying the standard. We have determined the applicability of the key factors of the five step model and developed a framework ofmodified our accounting policies and practices, to meet the requirements of the of the new standard. The results of our evaluation indicate that one of the changes upon adoption may be potentially increased "over-time" ("percentage of completion") revenue recognition. Historically, revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method has been less than 5% to 7% of our consolidated sales. The adoption of the new standard could substantially increase this range depending on the terms and conditions of the contracts in our backlog at January 1, 2018 and future contracts. We also anticipate changes to the consolidated balance sheet related to accounts receivable, inventory, contract assets and contract liabilities. We expect to further our assessment on the financial impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations and to align our business processes, systems and controls to support compliance with the standard duringrequirements. Revenue recognition and related financial information for this Quarterly Report are based on the remainderrequirements of 2017. We will continueASC 606. Accordingly, periods prior to January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with Topic 605. Refer to Note 2 of this Quarterly Report for a discussion on our evaluation of ASU 2014-09 as well as new or emerging interpretationsadoption of the standard through the date of adoption.New Revenue Standard.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The ASU requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The ASU also requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet has been eliminated by this ASU. ThisIn February 2018, the FASB issued ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impactNo. 2018-03, "Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10)" to clarify certain aspects of ASU No. 2016-01. Our adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 and ASU No. 2018-03 effective January 1, 2018 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments - A consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force.” The update was issued with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230 and other topics. Our adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory." The ASU guidance requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intercompany asset transfer, other than transfers of inventory, when the transfer occurs. For intercompany transfers of inventory, the income tax effects will continue

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash." The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Our adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): "Clarifying the Definition of a Business." The ASU clarifies the definition of a business and provides guidance on evaluating as to whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition clarification as outlined in this ASU affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. Our adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets." The FASB issued this ASU to clarify the scope of subtopic 610-20, which the FASB had failed to define in its issuance of ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." We adopted ASU No. 2017-05 effective January 1, 2018, concurrently with ASU No. 2014-09. Our adoption of ASU No. 2017-05 effective January 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." The ASU requires entities to disaggregate the current service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement and present the other components of net benefit cost elsewhere in the income statement and outside of operating income. Entities are required to retrospectively apply the requirement for a separate presentation in the income statement of service costs and other components of net benefit cost. We adopted the income statement presentation aspects of this new guidance on a retrospective basis. The following is a reconciliation of the effect of the reclassification of the net post-retirement benefit cost from cost of sales ("COS") and selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") to other expense, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017:

The ASU addresses how entities should account for costs associated with implementing a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract. Per the amendments of the ASU, implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract should be accounted for in the same manner as implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain software for internal use as prescribed by guidance in ASC350-40. The ASU requires that implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement be capitalized rather than expensed. Further, the ASU specifies the method for the amortization of costs incurred during implementation, and the manner in which the unamortized portion of these capitalized implementation costs should be evaluated for impairment. The ASU also provides guidance on how to present such implementation costs in the financial statements and also creates additional disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods. Early adoption of the ASU requirements is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption.

Control transfers over time when the customer is able to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the benefits of our work as we perform. This typically occurs when products have no alternative use and we have a right to payment for performance completed to date, including a reasonable profit margin. Our contracts often include cancellation provisions that require the customer to reimburse us for costs incurred up to the date of cancellation, and some contracts also provide for reimbursement of profit upon cancellation in addition to costs incurred to date.
Our primary method for recognizing revenue over time is the POC method.  We measure progress towards completion by applying an input measure based on costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion (i.e., the cost-to-cost method).  This method provides a reasonable depiction of the transfer of control of products and services to customers as it ensures our efforts towards satisfying a performance obligation, as reflected by costs incurred, are included in the measure of progress used for recognition of revenue. Costs generally include direct labor, direct material and manufacturing overhead.  Costs that do not contribute towards control transfer are generally immaterial, but are excluded from the measure of progress in the event they are significant.
Historically, revenue recognized under the POC method has been 5% to 10% of our consolidated sales. Under the New Revenue Standard, we have experienced an increase in the amount of revenue recognized over time.  This increase is primarily due to the application of the new “transfer of control” model for revenue recognition. Under this model, revenue for performance obligations subject to contractual transfer of control during the manufacturing process are recognized over time. This includes contracts with cancellation provisions that require reimbursement for costs incurred plus a reasonable margin and for which the performance obligation has no alternative use.  Revenue from products and services transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 21% and 5% of total revenue for the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 22% and 4% of total revenue for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
If control does not transfer over time, then control transfers at a point in time. We recognize revenue at a point in time at the level of each performance obligation based on the evaluation of certain indicators of control transfer, such as title transfer, risk of loss transfer, customer acceptance and physical possession. Revenue from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time accounted for approximately 79% and 95% of total revenue for the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 78% and 96% of total revenue for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
A contract modification, or “change order,” occurs when the existing enforceable rights and obligations of a contract change, such as a change in the scope, price or terms and conditions. We account for a change order as a new accounting contract when the change order is limited to adding new, distinct products and services that are priced in an amount consistent with standalone selling price. Other change orders are accounted for as a modification of the existing accounting contract. When a change order occurs for a contract having in-process over time performance obligations, the effect of the change order on the transaction price and the measure of progress for the performance obligations to which it relates is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.
Freight charges billed to customers are included in sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income. If shipping activities are performed after a customer obtains control of a product, we apply a policy election to account for shipping as an activity to fulfill the promise to transfer the product to the customer.
We apply a policy election to exclude transaction taxes collected from customers from sales when the tax is both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction.
In certain instances, we provide guaranteed completion dates under the terms of our contracts. Failure to meet contractual delivery dates can result in late delivery penalties or liquidated damages. In the event that the transaction price of such a contract is probable of experiencing a significant reversal due to a penalty, we constrain a portion of the transaction price. This reduction to the transaction price could potentially cause estimated total contract costs to exceed the transaction price, in which case we record a provision for the estimated loss in the period the loss is first projected. In circumstances where the transaction price still exceeds total projected costs, the estimated penalty generally reduces profitability of the contract at the time of subsequent revenue recognition.
Our incremental costs to obtain a contract are limited to sales commissions. We apply the practical expedient to expense commissions as incurred for contracts having a duration of one year or less. Sales commissions related to contracts with a duration of greater than one year are immaterial to our financial statements and are also expensed as incurred.
We have not identified any material costs to fulfill a contract that qualify for capitalization under ASC 340-40.
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account for recognition of revenue. Many of our contracts have multiple performance obligations as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services, or certain groups of goods and services, is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract.

Table of Contents

We allocate the transaction price of each contract to the performance obligations on the basis of standalone selling price and recognize revenue when, or as, control of each performance obligation transfers to the customer. For standard products, we identify the standalone selling price based on directly observable information. For customized or unique products and services, we apply the cost plus margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price. Under this method, we forecast our expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then add an appropriate standalone market margin for that distinct good or service.
We have elected to use the practical expedient to not adjust the transaction price of a contract for the effects of a significant financing component if, at the inception of the contract, we expect that the period between when we transfer a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
A material product warranty exists when a customer has specifically requested or negotiated a warranty period that is significantly longer than our standard warranty period (i.e., a “service-type warranty”) and where the warranty obligation is material in the context of the contract. It is not common for our contracts to contain material product warranties. However, when such a warranty exists, we account for it as a separate performance obligation. We estimate the standalone selling price of the warranty obligation utilizing a cost plus margin approach and allocate a portion of the transaction price to the warranty performance obligation on the basis of estimated standalone selling price. We recognize revenue for warranty performance obligations over time on a straight line basis over the extended warranty period.
A material right option is a benefit provided to a customer in a current contract, such as an option to receive future products or services for free or at a significant discount, that is incremental to benefits widely available to similar customers that do not enter into a specific contract. It is not common for our contracts to contain material right options. However, when a material right option exists, it is accounted for as a separate performance obligation and a portion of the transaction price is allocated to the performance obligation based on the estimated standalone selling price of the option. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the customer exercises the right to acquire future products and/or services.
On September 30, 2018, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $1,354 million. We estimate recognition of approximately $658 million of this amount as revenue in the remainder of 2018 and an additional $696 million in 2019 and thereafter.
Revenue recognized for performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in prior periods for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was not material.

Disaggregated Revenue
We conduct our operations through three business segments based on the type of product and how we manage the business:
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;
Industrial Product Division ("IPD") for engineered and pre-configured industrial pumps and pump systems and related products and services; and
Flow Control Division ("FCD") for engineered and industrial valves, control valves, actuators and controls and related services.
Our revenue sources are derived from our original equipment manufacturing and our aftermarket sales and services. Our original equipment revenues are generally related to originally designed, manufactured, distributed and installed equipment that can range from pre-configured, short-cycle products to more customized, highly-engineered equipment ("Original Equipment"). Our aftermarket sales and services are derived from sales of replacement equipment, as well as maintenance, advanced diagnostic, repair and retrofitting services ("Aftermarket"). Each of our three business segments generate Original Equipment and Aftermarket revenues.

Contract Balances
We receive payment from customers based on a contractual billing schedule and specific performance requirements as established in our contracts. We record billings as accounts receivable when an unconditional right to consideration exists. A contract asset represents revenue recognized in advance of our right to receive payment under the terms of a contract. A contract liability represents our right to receive payment in advance of revenue recognized for a contract.
The following table presents opening and closing balances of contract assets and contract liabilities, current and long-term, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 related to net earnings, including noncontrolling interests, for the change2018:

Additionally, we adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017, see Note 1 for further discussion of the impact of that adoption on our statements of cash flows.
The impacts of the revisions have been reflected throughout the financial statements, including the applicable footnotes, as appropriate.

3.Dispositions
IPD Business Divestiture
On June 29, 2018, pursuant to a plan of sale approved by management, we executed an agreement to divest two IPD locations and associated product lines, including the related assets and liabilities.  This transaction did not meet the criteria for

Table of Contents

classification of assets held for sale as of June 30, 2018 due to a contingency that could have potentially impacted the final terms and/or timing of the divestiture. The sale transaction was completed on August 9, 2018. In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $25.1 million, including a pre-tax charge of $17.4 million in the second quarter of 2018 and a loss on sale of the business of $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2018. The second quarter of 2018 pre-tax charge related to write-downs of inventory and long-lived assets to their estimated fair value, of which $7.7 million was recorded in COS and $9.7 million was recorded in SG&A.  The third quarter of 2018 pre-tax charge primarily related to working capital changes since the second quarter of 2018 and net cash transferred at the closing date of $3.7 million. The sale included a manufacturing facility in Germany and a related assembly facility in France. In 2017, net sales related to the business totaled approximately $42 million, although the business produced an operating loss in each of the last two fiscal years.
Vogt
Effective July 6, 2017, we sold our Flow Control Division's ("FCD")FCD's Vogt product line and related assets and liabilities to a privately held company for $28.0 million of cash received at closing. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $10.9$11.1 million recorded in gain on sale of business in the condensed consolidated statements of income.income in the third quarter of 2017. In 2016, net sales related to the Vogt business totaled approximately $17 million, with earnings before interest and taxes of approximately $4 million.
Gestra AG
Effective May 2, 2017, we sold our FCD's Gestra AG ("Gestra") business to a leading provider of steam system solutions for $203.6 million (€178.3 million), which included $180.8 million (€158.3 million) of cash received at closing (net of divested cash and subsequent working capital adjustments). Additionally, we expect to receive $23.6 million (€20.0 million) of cash currently held in escrow before the end of 2017, which we have classified as an other current asset in prepaid expenses and other. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $130.2 million ($79.4 million after-tax) recorded in gain on sale of business in the condensed consolidated statements of income.income in 2017. The sale included Gestra’s manufacturing facility in Germany as well as related operations in the U.S., the United Kingdom ("U.K."), Spain, Poland, Italy, Singapore and Portugal. In 2016, Gestra recorded revenues of approximately $101 million (€92 million) with earnings before interest and taxes of approximately $17 million (€15 million).

4.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, 2,634,9082,061,105 were available for issuance as of September 30, 2017.2018. In 2016 the long-term incentive program was amended to allow Restricted Shares granted after January 1, 2016 to employees who retire and have achieved at least 55 years of age and 10 years of service to continue to vest over the original vesting period ("55/10 Provision"). Until the second quarterAs of 2017, no previous stock options were outstanding. On May 4, 2017,September 30, 2018, 114,943 stock options were grantedoutstanding, with a grant date fair value of $2.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately threetwo years. No stock options were granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 114,943 stock options granted for the same period in 2017. No stock options vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
 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, except for awards related to the 55/10 Provision which are expensed in the period granted. We had unearned compensation of $20.6$30.7 million and $15.2$16.7 million at September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately one years.year. These amounts will be recognized into net earnings in prospective periods as the awards vest. The total fair value of Restricted Shares vested duringwas $0.2 million for both the three months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016 was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively.2017. The total fair value of Restricted Shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and 2016 was $28.1$14.0 million and $38.7$28.1 million, respectively.
We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $4.4 million ($5.7 million pre-tax) and $3.0 million ($4.6 million pre-tax) and $3.9 million ($6.0 million pre-tax) for the three months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $10.9 million ($14.1 million pre-tax) and $13.4 million ($20.3 million pre-tax) and $19.6 million ($30.0 million pre-tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Performance-based shares granted in 2015 did not vest due to unachievement of performance targets resulting in 100,033 forfeited shares and 2016, respectively.a $5.4 million reduction of stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Unvested Restricted Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2017, includes2018 included approximately 888,000766,000 units with performance-based vesting provisions. Performance-based units are issuable in common stock and vest upon the achievement of pre-defined performance targets. Performance-based units granted prior to 2017 have performance targets 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. Performance-based units granted in 2017 and 2018 have performance targets based on our average return on invested capital and our total shareholder return ("TSR") over a three-year period as compared with the same measures for a defined peer group for the same period. Most units were granted in three annual grants since January 1, 20152016 and have a vesting percentage between 0% and 200% depending on the achievement of the specific performance targets. Except for shares granted under the 55/10 Provision, compensation expense is recognized ratably over a cliff-vesting period of 36 months, based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, as adjusted for actual forfeitures. During the performance period, earned and unearned compensation expense is adjusted based on changes in the expected achievement of the performance targets for all performance-based units granted except for the TSR-based units. Vesting provisions range from 0 to approximately 1,701,0001,531,000 shares based on performance targets. As of September 30, 2017,2018, we estimate vesting of approximately 663,000 613,000shares based on expected achievement of performance targets.

5.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 67 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 20162017 Annual Report and Note 7 of this Quarterly Report for additional information on our derivatives. We enter into foreign exchange forward 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.
During the second quarter of 2017, we discontinued our program to designate forward exchange contracts. The discontinuance of this program had no impact on our financial position as of September 30, 2017. Foreign exchange contracts with third parties not designated as hedging instruments had a notional value of $237.6$266.6 million and $393.2$235.6 million at September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively. At September 30, 2017,2018, the length of foreign exchange contracts currently in place ranged from 2 daysone day to 2024 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 agreements and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.

In March 2015, we designated €255.7 million of our €500.0 million Euro senior notes discussed in Note 6 as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency. We used the spot method to measure the effectiveness of our net investment hedge. Under this method, for each reporting period, the change in the carrying value of the Euro senior notes due to remeasurement of the effective portion is reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss on our condensed consolidated balance sheet and the remaining change in the carrying value of the ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in other expense, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income. We evaluate the effectiveness of our net investment hedge on a prospective basis at the beginning of each quarter. We did not record any ineffectiveness for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016.2017.

Senior Credit Facility

As discussed in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 20162017 Annual Report, our credit agreement provides for an initial $400.0 million term loan (“Term Loan Facility”) and a $1.0 billion$800.0 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of October 14, 2020. On June 30, 2017, we amended our existing Senior Credit Facility. The amendment, among other changes, includes the following: (i) a decrease of the Revolving Credit Facility commitment from $1.0 billion to $800 million, (ii) an increase of the leverage ratio from 3.50 to 4.00 times debt to total Consolidated EBITDA, through June 30, 2019, with a step-down to 3.75 for any fiscal quarter ending after July 1, 2019, (iii) the addition of a new pricing level on our senior unsecured long-term debt ratings for Ba2/BB, with an increase in interest rate margin for LIBOR loans to 2.00% and for base rate loans to 1.00% and (iv) a revision to the restrictions on the ability to incur debt by decreasing the maximum principal amount of priority debt allowed from 15% to 7.5% of the consolidated tangible assets and a decrease on the maximum amount of receivables that could be securitized from $200 million to $100 million. All other material terms and conditions of the Senior Credit Facility remained unchanged as discussed in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report.

As of September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, we had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. We had outstanding letters of credit of $91.8$74.8 million and $102.6$94.8 million at September 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, which reducedtogether with financial covenant limitations based on the terms of our Senior Credit Facility, contributed to the reduction of our borrowing capacity to $708.2$416.5 million and $553.5$644.8 million, respectively. Our compliance with applicable financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facility is tested quarterly, and we complied with all applicable covenants as of September 30, 2017.

2018.
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 0.150%0.20% (per annum) during the period ended September 30, 2017.2018. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, we made scheduled repayments of $45.0 million under our Term Loan Facility. We have scheduled repayments of $15.0 million due in each of the next four quarters on our Term Loan Facility.

7.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 5.

Table of Contents

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 6. The estimated fair value of our Senior Notes at September 30, 20172018 was $1,400.1$1,364.1 million compared to the carrying value of $1,379.0$1,371.1 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, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017.

During the second quarter of 20172018, we recorded a $16.9$7.7 million inventory charge for costs incurred related to a contract to supply oilthe divestiture of two IPD locations and gas platform equipment to an end user in Latin America. This charge was primarily related to our IPD reporting segmentproduct lines, and resulted in a decrease to finished goods. Refer to Note 3 of this Quarterly Report for further discussion.
As a result of our adoption of the New Revenue Standard as of January 1, 2018, progress billings and work in process amounts associated with contracts accounted under the over time method were either recognized as COS or reclassified into contract assets, net or contract liabilities. Refer to Note 2 of this Quarterly Report for a discussion on our adoption of the New Revenue Standard.

Diluted earnings per share above is based upon the weighted average number of shares as determined for basic earnings per share plus shares potentially issuable in conjunction with stock options and Restricted Shares. As a result of the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2016, we excluded 803,251 of unvested Restricted Shares from the calculation of diluted EPS due to their anti-dilutive effect.

10.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 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.

14


Table of Contents

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

20


Table of Contents

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, the 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. Hearings occurred on April 1-2, 2015, and the Company presented its defense and closing arguments. On June 18, 2015, the French court issued its ruling dismissing the case against the Company and the other defendants. However, on July 1, 2015, the French prosecutor lodged an appeal and we anticipate that the hearing for the appeal will be held in 2018. We currently do not expect to incur additional case resolution costs of a material amount in this matter. However, if the French authorities ultimately 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.
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.
As previously disclosed in our 20162017 Annual Report, we terminated an employee of an overseas subsidiary after uncovering actions that violated our Code of Business Conduct and may have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.  We completed our internal investigation into the matter, self-reported the potential violation to the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and the SEC, and continue to cooperate with the DOJ and SEC.  We previously received a subpoena from the SEC requesting additional information and documentation related to the matter and have completed our response to the subpoena.  We currently believe that this matter will not have a material adverse financial impact on the Company, but there can be no assurance that the Company will not be subjected to monetary penalties and additional costs. 
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 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.

Effective January 1, 2018 we adopted ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost." Refer to Note 1 included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion on the adoption of the standard.
The components of net periodic cost for retirement and postretirement benefits other than service costs are included in other expense, net in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

12.Shareholders’ Equity
Dividends – 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. Dividends paid per share were $0.19 for the three months ending September 30, 2018 and 2017 and $0.57 for the nine months ending September 30, 2018 and 2017. Dividends paid for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $24.9 million and $24.8 million, respectively, and $74.5 million and $74.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program – On November 13, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $500.0 million 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 anytimeany time without notice. We had no repurchases of shares of our outstanding common stock for both of the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016.2017. As of September 30, 20172018, we had $160.7 million of remaining capacity under our current share repurchase program.

13.Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”), which significantly changed U.S. tax law. The Act, among other things, lowered the Company’s U.S. statutory federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, while imposing a deemed repatriation tax on deferred foreign income and implementing a modified territorial tax system. While the Act provides for a territorial tax system, beginning in 2018, it provides for two new anti-base erosion provisions, the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provision and the base-erosion and anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”) provision which effectively creates a new minimum tax on certain future foreign earnings.
The Company included reasonable estimates of the income tax effects in applying the provisions of the Act in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740) and following the guidance in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”). As a result, the impacts from the Act may differ, primarily related to deemed repatriated earnings and associated withholding taxes, from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes from interpretations enacted and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as a result of the Act. Due to the timing of the Act and the substantial changes it brings, SAB 118 provides registrants a measurement period to report the impact of the new U.S. tax law. The financial reporting impact of the Act is expected to be completed no later than the fourth quarter of 2018. The impacts of these changes were reflected in the 2017 provisional tax expense, as discussed in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2017 Annual Report. The Company has elected to account for the GILTI provision in the period in which it is incurred.
For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we earned $44.4 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $14.9 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.6%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we earned $97.7 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $37.0 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 37.9%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations, including losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was provided.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we earned $68.4 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $19.6 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.7%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we earned $196.1 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $85.8 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 43.8%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations, losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was provided and taxes related to the sale of the Gestra and Vogt businesses.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred a pre-tax loss of $12.2 million and provided for income taxes of $2.8 million resulting in an effective tax rate of negative 23.2%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we earned $123.1 million before taxes and provided for income taxes of $49.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.2%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations, tax impacts from our Realignment Programs and losses in certain foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit was provided.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2017,2018, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits increaseddecreased by $3.1$3.2 million from December 31, 2016.2017. With limited exception, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax audits for years through 2015,2016, state and local income tax audits for years through 20112012 or non-U.S. income tax audits for years through 2010.2011. We are currently under examination for various years in Austria, Canada, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, 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 $8$14 million within the next 12 months.

16.Realignment and Transformation Programs
In the first quarter of 2015, we initiated a realignment program ("R1 Realignment Program") to reduce and optimize certain non-strategic QRCs and manufacturing facilities. In the second quarter of 2018, we launched and committed resources to our Flowserve 2.0 Transformation ("Flowserve 2.0 Transformation"), a program designed to transform our business model to drive operational excellence, reduce complexity, accelerate growth, improve organizational health and better leverage our existing global platform. We anticipate that the Flowserve 2.0 Transformation will result in restructuring charges, non-restructuring charges and other related transformation expenses (primarily professional services, project management and related travel expenses). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred Flowserve 2.0 Transformation related expenses of $24.0 million and $27.4 million, respectively, primarily consisting of professional services and project management costs recorded in SG&A. We are currently evaluating the total investment in the various initiatives associated with this program.

In 2015 we initiated a second realignment program ("programs consisting of R1 Realignment Program related to the SIHI acquisition and R2 Realignment Program")Program to better align costs and improve long-term efficiency, including further manufacturing optimization through the consolidation of facilities, a reduction in our workforce the transfer of activities from high-cost regions to lower-cost facilities and the divestiture of certain non-strategic assets.assets (the “Realignment Programs”). 

26


Table of Contents

These Realignment Programs have been substantially completed, with the final projects targeted to complete in late 2018.  We estimate total investment in these programs of approximately $360 million and anticipate we will incur most of the remaining charges by the end of 2018.  The R1 Realignment Program and the R2 Realignment Program (collectively the "Realignment Programs")Programs consist of both restructuring and non-restructuring charges. Restructuring charges represent costs associated with the relocation or reorganization of certain business activities and facility closures and include related severance costs. Non-restructuring charges are primarily employee severance associated with workforce reductions to reduce redundancies. Expenses are primarily reported in COS or SG&A, as applicable, in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We anticipate a total investment in these programs of approximately $360 million, including projects in process or under final evaluation. We anticipate to incur the remaining charges throughout the remainder of 2017 and into 2018.
Generally, the aforementioned charges will be paid in cash, except for asset write-downs, which are non-cash charges. The following is a summary of total charges, net of adjustments, related to the Realignment Programs:Programs and Flowserve 2.0 Transformation charges:

____________________________
(1) Includes $48.2 million of restructuring charges, primarily COS, related to the R1 Realignment Program.
(2) Income tax expense includes exit taxes as well as non-deductible costs.
Restructuring charges represent costs associated with the relocation or reorganization of certain business activities and facility closures and include costs related to employee severance at closed facilities, contract termination costs, asset write-downs and other costs. Severance costs primarily include costs associated with involuntary termination benefits. Contract termination costs include costs related to termination of operating leases or other contract termination costs. Asset write-downs include accelerated depreciation of fixed assets, accelerated amortization of intangible assets, divestiture of certain non-strategic assets and inventory write-downs. Other costs generally include costs related to employee relocation, asset relocation, vacant facility costs (i.e., taxes and insurance) and other charges.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" ("MD&A") included in our 20162017 Annual Report.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Our Company
We believe that 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 17,000 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 primarily served by our network of 177174 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 growthbusiness strategy.
Our operations are conducted through three business segments that are referenced throughout this MD&A:
EPD for long lead-time,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, our 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, SIHI, Halberg 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 leverage our QRC network 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. Additionally, 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.
DuringOver the first nine monthspast several quarters we have experienced a stabilization in business conditions and are beginning to gain traction and momentum in certain of 2017, our financial resultskey markets.  With continued to be challenged by capital spending declines, primarily in the oil and gas industry and pricing pressures. Although there has been stability in oil prices, over recent quarters,at improved levels beginning in the second half of 2017, our large-project business is showing initial signs of recovery and we anticipate that the current environmentcustomers will persist throughout 2017.continue to increase maintenance and short cycle investment during 2018.
To better align costs and improve long-term efficiency, we initiated Realignment Programs to accelerate both short- and long-term strategic plans, including targeted manufacturing optimization through the consolidation of facilities, SG&A efficiency initiatives, transfer of activities from high-cost regions to lower-cost facilities and the divestiture of certain non-strategic assets. At the completion of the programs, we expect an approximately 20% reduction in our global workforce, relative to early 2015 workforce levels. With an expected near-term investment of approximately $360 million, including projects in process or under final evaluation, we expect the results of our Realignment Programs will deliver annualized run-rate savings of approximately $230 million. In addition, we are focusing on our ongoing low-cost sourcing, including greater use of third-party suppliers and increasing our lower-cost, emerging market capabilities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" and 2016all related ASUs ("New Revenue Standard"), using the modified retrospective method for transition. For a discussion related to our adoption of the New Revenue Standard requirements refer to Notes 1 and 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
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 previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q forIn the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017, we identified accounting errors focused mainly at two of our non-U.S. sites in the inventory, accounts receivable, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative balances for prior periods through the firstsecond quarter of 2017. We assessed these errors, individually2018, we launched and in the aggregate,committed resources to our Flowserve 2.0 Transformation ("Flowserve 2.0 Transformation"), a program designed to transform our business model to drive operational excellence, reduce complexity, accelerate growth, improve organizational health and concluded that they were not material to any prior annual or interim period. However, to facilitate comparisons among periods we revisedbetter leverage our previously issued audited consolidated financial informationexisting global platform, which is includedfurther discussed in our 2016 Annual Report and unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the interim periods included in our Form 10-Q/A and Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. We also corrected the timing of immaterial previously recorded out-of-period adjustments and reflected them in the revised prior period financial statements, where applicable. Refer to Note 216 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information.
As discussedReport. We anticipate that the Flowserve 2.0 Transformation will result in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, effective July 6, 2017, we sold our Flow Control Division's ("FCD") Vogt product linerestructuring charges, non-restructuring charges and other related transformation expenses (e.g., professional services, project management and related assetstravel and liabilities to a privately held company. In 2016, net salesexpense). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred Flowserve 2.0 Transformation related toexpenses of $24.0 million and $27.4 million, respectively, primarily consisting of professional services and project management costs recorded in SG&A. We are currently evaluating the Vogt business totaled approximately $17 million,total investment in and financial benefits of the various initiatives associated with earnings before interest and taxes of approximately $4 million.
As discussed in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, effective May 2, 2017 we sold our FCD Gestra AG business to a leading provider of steam system solutions. In 2016, Gestra recorded revenues of approximately $101 million (€92 million) with earnings before interest and taxes of approximately $17 million (€15 million).program.
In 2015, we initiated Realignment Programs that consist of both restructuring and non-restructuring charges that are further discussed in Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. The Realignment Programs will continue throughout 20172018 and the total charges for Realignment Programs by segment are detailed below for the three months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016:2017:

Based on actions under our Realignment Programs, we estimate that we have achieved cost savings of approximately $150$192 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2018, as compared with $80$150 million in the same period of 2016.2017. Approximately $95$124 million of those savings in 2018 are in COS with the remainder in SG&A. Upon completion of the Realignment Programs, we expect run-rate cost savings of approximately $230 million, of which approximately $214 million wouldthe vast majority is anticipated to be achieved in 2017.2018. Actual savings could vary from expected savings, which represent management’s best estimate to date.

Approximately 31%35% of the backlog at September 30, 20172018 was related to aftermarket orders. Backlog includes our unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations of approximately $1,354 million and approximately $501 million of customer orders that are generally subject to the possibility of customer cancellation for convenience without penalty (“Cancellable Backlog”).  We have historically experienced very low cancellation rates such that any potential subsequent reversals of Cancellable Backlog are not expected to be material.  The remaining portion of our total backlog is not cancellable without a substantive penalty and therefore represents remaining performance obligations as discussed in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

The impact of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard had a favorable impact on gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of approximately 80 basis points. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily attributed to the favorable impact of increased sales on our absorption of fixed manufacturing costs, revenue recognized on higher margin projects and lower charges and increased savings related to our Realignment Programs. Aftermarket sales represented approximately 48% of total sales, as compared with approximately 50% of total sales for the same period in 2017.

Business Segments
We conduct our operations through three business segments based on the 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 and general industries. EPD operates in 47 countries with 3028 manufacturing facilities worldwide, nineeight of which are located in Europe, nine in North America, sevensix in Asia and five in Latin America, and it operates 123120 QRCs, including those co-located in manufacturing facilities and/or shared with FCD.

At September 30, 2017, $489.4 million of our total cash balance of $502.1 million was held by foreign subsidiaries, $375.8 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 $375.8 million could be repatriated resulting in a U.S. cash tax liability between $5.0 million and $15.0 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 November 13, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $500.0 million share repurchase authorization, of which as of September 30, 2017,2018, we have $160.7 million of remaining capacity. 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.
Financing
Credit Facilities
See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 20162017 Annual Report and Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of our Senior Credit Facility and covenants related to our Senior Credit Facility. We complied with all covenants through September 30, 2017.2018.
We had outstanding letters of credit of $74.8 million and $94.8 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, which together with financial covenant limitations based on the terms of our Senior Credit Facility, contributed to the reduction of our borrowing capacity to $416.5 million and $644.8 million, respectively. Our compliance with applicable financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facility is tested quarterly, and we complied with all applicable covenants as of September 30, 2018.

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. OurThe preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our critical accounting policies and methodology used in determining estimates for revenue and related expenses changed. On January 1, 2018, we adopted the New Revenue Standard using the modified retrospective method for transition and modified our accounting policies and practices to support our accounting estimates of revenue and expenses in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For a discussion related to our adoption of the New Revenue Standard and the impacts on revenue and expenses, refer to Notes 1 and 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Critical policies for other significant estimates, for which no significant changes have occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2018, include:

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.
For the other significant estimates referenced above, 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 20162017 Annual Report. These critical policies, for which no significant changes have occurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 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;Venezuela and Argentina;

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;

obligations under our defined benefit pension plans;

risks and potential liabilities associated with cyber security threats; and 

our inability to execute and realize the expected financial benefits of our strategic manufacturing optimization and other cost-saving initiatives.

our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud.fraud;

the recording of increased deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future or the impact of tax law changes on such deferred tax assets could affect our operating results;

if we are not able to successfully execute and realize the expected financial benefits from our strategic realignment and other cost-saving initiatives, our business could be adversely affected; and

ineffective internal controls could impact the accuracy and timely reporting of our business and financial results.

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 20162017 Annual Report and Part II of this 10-Q,Quarterly Report, and may be identified in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the 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 in foreign exchange contracts. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, 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, 2017,2018, we had $180.0$120.0 million of variable rate debt obligations outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 2.58%3.89%. 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 $1.4approximately $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2018.
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 our or a non-U.S. subsidiary’s functional currency. In March 2015, we designated €255.7 million of our €500.0 million 2022 Euro Senior Notes as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency. Generally, we view our investments in foreign subsidiaries from a long-term perspective and use capital structuring techniques to manage our investment in foreign subsidiaries as deemed necessary. We realized net (losses) gains (losses) associated with foreign currency translation of $17.7$(19.7) million and $(15.6)$17.7 million for the three months September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 2016$(61.2) million and $85.8 million and $(12.6) million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, which are included in other comprehensive income (loss).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, 2017,2018, we had a U.S. dollar equivalent of $237.6$266.6 million in aggregate notional amount outstanding in foreign exchange contracts with third parties, as compared with $393.8$235.6 million at December 31, 20162017. 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 (losses) gains (losses) of $8.4$(4.3) million and $1.4$8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, and $(9.7)$(16.4) million and $2.5$(9.7) million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 and 2016,2017, respectively, which are included in other (expense) income,expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
Based on a sensitivity analysis at September 30, 2017,2018, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the nine months ended September 30, 20172018 would not have materially impacted our net earnings by approximately $11 million.earnings. 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, 2017. Our management, including2018. Based on this evaluation, our current Principal Executive Officerprincipal executive officer and Principal Financial Officer,principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017 because of the previously identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in Item 9A. Controls and Procedures in our Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
Management has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses referred to above, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Remediation Plan
In the second quarter of 2017, management became actively engaged in the planning for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified above. Management has implemented the following steps in the third quarter of 2017:
enhanced the current business process review control procedures to include additional prior period comparisons and additional key ratios, metrics and risk based criteria as determined by management;
enhanced the detailed site and/or process reviews based on criteria determined by management’s risk assessment including manual journal entries;
conducted enhanced ethics, controls and policy training for employees at the one non-U.S. site where certain employees engaged in conduct that circumvented controls.
Management believes the measures described above and others that may be implemented will remediate the material weaknesses that we have identified. Management is in the process of testing the effectiveness of the revised controls.  These material weaknesses cannot be considered fully remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.2018.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation actions identified above, there wereThere have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 20172018 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 20162017 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 20162017 Annual Report and subsequent SEC filings. The risks described in this Quarterly Report, our 20162017 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.
