Acquisitions
The Company allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests based upon their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The Company utilizes management estimates and inputs from an independent third-party valuation firm to assist in determining these fair values.
The Company uses the income, market or cost approach (or a combination thereof) for the valuation as appropriate. The valuation inputs in these models and analyses are based on market participant assumptions. Management values property, plant and equipment using the cost approach supported where available by observable market data, which includes consideration of obsolescence. Management values acquired intangible assets using the relief from royalty method or excess earnings method, which are forms of the income approach supported by observable market data for peer companies. The significant assumptions used to estimate the value of the acquired intangible assets include discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of future cash flows (such as revenue growth rates, customer attrition rates, and royalty rates), which are considered Level 3 assets as the assumptions are unobservable inputs developed by the Company. Acquired inventories are recorded at fair value. For certain items, the carrying value is determined to be a reasonable approximation of fair value based on information available to the Company.
The excess of the acquisition price over estimated fair values is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is adjusted for any changes to acquisition date fair value amounts made within the measurement period. Acquisition-related transaction costs are recognized separately from the business combination and expensed as incurred. Refer to “Note 2 – Acquisitions” for additional details.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”). All recently issued ASUs were assessed and determined to be not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

On May 31, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of Fill-Rite and Sotera (“Fill-Rite”), a division of Tuthill Corporation, for $526.3 million. When adjusted for approximately $80.0 million in expected tax benefits, the net acquisition value is approximately $446.3 million. The Company funded the acquisition with cash on-hand and new debt. The Company incurred $7.0 million of one-time acquisition costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and does not expect to incur material acquisition costs going forward. The results of operations for Fill-Rite from the acquisition date are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
The following discussion of Results of Operations includes certain non-GAAP financial data and measures such as (1) adjusted earnings per share, which is earnings per share excluding non-cash pension settlement charges per share, one-time acquisition costs per share, amortization of step-up in value of acquired inventories per share and amortization of customer backlog per share and (2) adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which is net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude non-cash pension settlement charges, one-time acquisition costs, amortization of step up in value of acquired inventories, and amortization of customer backlog. Management utilizes these adjusted financial data and measures to assess comparative operations against those of prior periods without the distortion of non-comparable factors. The inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which the Company has made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial data and measures also will be useful to investors in assessing the strength of the Company’s underlying operations from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Provided below is a reconciliation of adjusted earnings per share and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted earnings per share is earnings per share excluding non-cash pension settlement charges per share, one-time acquisition costs per share, amortization of step up in value of acquired inventories per share, and amortization of customer backlog per share. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude non-cash pension settlement charges, one-time acquisition costs, amortization of step up in value of acquired inventories, amortization of customer backlog, and non-cash LIFO expense. Management utilizes these adjusted financial data and measures to assess comparative operations against those of prior periods without the distortion of non-comparable factors. The inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which the Company has made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. Further, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. The Gorman-Rupp Company believes that these non-GAAP financial data and measures also will be useful to investors in assessing the strength of the Company’s underlying operations from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Provided below is a reconciliation of adjusted earnings, adjusted earnings per share, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $10.3$12.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2022.2023. The Company had an additional $93.1million$80.9 million available under the revolving credit facility after deducting $5.0$17.0 million drawn and $1.9$2.1 million in outstanding letters of credit primarily related to customer orders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our debt obligations increased by $440.6 million as a result of the Senior Term Loan Facility, revolving Credit Facility and Subordinated Credit Facility entered into in connection with the Fill-Rite acquisition. See Note 10 “Financing Arrangements” in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure for reporting cash flow, is defined by the Company as adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, less capital expenditures and dividends. The Company believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on cash available for investments, acquisitions and working capital requirements.
The following table reconciles adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization as reconciled above to free cash flow:

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to interest expense of $9.9 million and acquisition costs of $7.0 million, as well as increases for the nine month period in accounts receivable and inventory as the result of increased sales and backlog. In addition, deferred revenue and customer deposits have decreased in the first nine months of the current year compared to an increase in the same period of the prior year.
During the first nine months of 2022, investing activities of $537.2 million consisted of $526.3 million for the acquisition of Fill-Rite and $11.3 million for capital expenditures primarily for machinery and equipment.

The Company currently expects to continue its exceptional history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
The Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common shares. The actual number of shares repurchased will depend on prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors, and will be determined at management’s discretion. The Company is not obligated to make any purchases under the program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the Company had $48.1 million available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 20212022 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, The Gorman-Rupp Company provides the following cautionary statement: This Form 10-Q contains various forward-looking statements based on assumptions concerning The Gorman-Rupp Company’s operations, future results and prospects. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about important economic, political, and technological factors, among others, and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results or events to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by the forward-looking statements and related assumptions.
Such uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our estimates of future earnings and cash flows, general economic conditions and supply chain conditions and any related impact on costs and availability of materials, integration of the Fill-Rite business in a timely and cost effective manner, retention of supplier and customer relationships and key employees, the ability to achieve synergies and cost savings in the amounts and within the time frames currently anticipated and the ability to service and repay indebtedness incurred in connection with the transaction. Other factors include, but are not limited to: company specific risk factors including (1) loss of key personnel; (2) intellectual property security; (3) acquisition performance and integration; (4) the Company’s indebtedness and how it may impact the Company’s financial condition and the way it operates its business; (5) general risks associated with acquisitions; (6) the anticipated benefits from the Fill-Rite transaction may not be realized; (7) impairment in the value of intangible assets, including goodwill; (5)(8) defined benefit pension plan settlement expense; (9) LIFO inventory method, and (6)(10) family ownership of common equity; and general risk factors including (7)(11) continuation of the current and projected future business environment, including the impact of inflation and other cost pressures, the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic; (8)environment; (12) highly competitive markets; (9)(13) availability and costs of raw materials and labor; (10)(14) cyber security threats; (11)(15) compliance with, and costs related to, a variety of import and export laws and regulations; (12)(16) environmental compliance costs and liabilities; (13)(17) exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; (14)(18) conditions in foreign countries in which The Gorman-Rupp Company conducts business; (15)(19) changes in our tax rates and exposure to additional income tax liabilities; and (16)(20) risks described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except to the extent required by law, we do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to review or update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of such statements to reflect future events or developments or otherwise.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Exposure to foreign exchange rate risk is due to certain costs and revenue being denominated in currencies other than one of the Company’s subsidiaries functional currency. The Company is also exposed to market risk as the result of changes in interest rates which may affect the cost of financing. We continually monitor these risks and regularly develop appropriate strategies to manage them. Accordingly, from time to time, we may enter into certain derivative or other financial instruments. These financial instruments are used to mitigate market exposure and are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
The results of operations are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily with respect to borrowings under the Company’s Senior Term Loan Facility, Credit Facility, and Subordinated Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Senior Term Loan Facility and Credit Facility may be made either at (i) a base rate plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 0.75% to 1.75%, or at (ii) an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.75% to 2.75%. Borrowings under the Subordinated Credit Facility bear interest at (i) either a base rate plus 8.0%, or at (ii) an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate plus 9.1%. At SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the Company had $345.6$332.5 million in borrowings under the Senior Term Loan Facility, $5.0$17.0 million in borrowingborrowings under the Credit Facility, and $90.0 million in borrowings under the Subordinated Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2023, the applicable interest rates under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Credit Facility were Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.5% and Adjusted Term SOFR plus 9.1%, respectively.
To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, effective October 31, 2022, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of the Senior term loan facility.Term Loan Facility. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a fixed interest rate and pay a variable interest rate. The interest rate swap agreements are expected to be designated as a cash flow hedge, and as a result, the mark-to-market gains or losses will be deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
The Company estimates that a hypothetical increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would increase interest expense by approximately $2.7 million on an annual basis.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited primarily to the Euro, Canadian Dollar, South African Rand and British Pound. The Company manages its foreign exchange risk principally through invoicing customers in the same currency as is used in the market of the source of products. The foreign currency transaction gains (losses) for the ninesix month periods ending SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 20212022 were ($0.2)0.4) million and $0.1 million, respectively, and are reported within Other (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022.2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, we are in the process of integrating the internal controls of the acquired Fill-Rite business into Gorman-Rupp’s existing operations as part of planned integration activities. In addition, we have implemented new processes and internal controls to assist us in the preparation and disclosure of financial information. There were no other changes in Gorman-Rupp’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Gorman-Rupp’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022.2023.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
There are no material changes from the legal proceedings previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.2022.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
In addition to the information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the following which supplements the Company’s previously disclosed risk factors:
The Company incurred substantial indebtedness, which may impact the Company’s financial condition and the way it operates its business.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of the assets of Fill-Rite, the Company incurred substantial indebtedness. Such indebtedness includes senior secured first lien credit facilities comprised of a $350 million term loan facility and a $100 million revolving credit facility, and an unsecured senior subordinated term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $90 million. The indebtedness could have important negative consequences, including:

|
|
|
The Company’s ability to satisfy its debt and other obligations will depend principally upon its future operating performance. As a result, prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, legal and regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, may affect its ability to make payments on its debt and other obligations.
The Company’s operations are subject to the general risks associated with acquisitions.
The Company has historically made strategic acquisitions of businesses, such as Fill-Rite, and may do so in the future in support of its strategy. The success of past and future acquisitions is dependent on the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired and existing operations. If the Company is unable to integrate acquisitions successfully, its financial results could suffer. Additional potential risks associated with acquisitions are the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, additional debt leverage, the loss of key employees and customers of the acquired business, the assumption of unknown liabilities, disputes with sellers, and the inherent risk associated with the Company entering new lines of business.
The anticipated benefits from the Fill-Rite acquisition may not be realized.
The Company may not realize the full benefits of the increased sales volume and other benefits that are currently expected to result from the Fill-Rite acquisition, or realize these benefits within the time frame that is currently expected. In addition, the benefits of the Fill-Rite acquisition may be offset by operating losses relating to changes in material or energy prices, inflationary economic conditions, increased competition, or by other risks and uncertainties. If the Company fails to realize the benefits it anticipates from the Fill-Rite acquisition, the Company’s results of operations may be adversely affected.2022.
