Stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the fair-value method for all awards. In addition to granting stock options, the Company also granted reload options during the nine months ended April 30, 2015. A reload stock option is granted for the number of shares tendered as payment for the exercise price and minimum tax withholding obligation upon the exercise of a stock option with a reload provision. The option price of the reload option is equal to the market price of the stock on the date of exercise of the original option and will expire on the same date as the original option which was exercised. The Company determined the fair value of its option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used to value the options, including reload options, which generally have a shorter contractual life, granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2015: range of less than one year to 8 years expected life; expected volatility range of 18.6 percent to 26.7 percent; risk-free interest rate range of 0.05 percent to 2.27 percent; and annual dividend yield of 1.6 percent. The expected life for options granted during the period represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding based on the contractual life and historical data of option holder exercise and termination behavior. Expected volatilities are based upon historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period at least equal to the expected life of each option grant. Option grants have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The weighted average fair value for options granted during the nine months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was $9.94 per share and $11.51 per share, respectively. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2015, the Company recorded pre-tax stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options of $1.3 million and $8.2 million, respectively, and recorded $0.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of related tax benefit. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014, the Company recorded pre-tax stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options of $2.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and recorded $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of related tax benefit. | |||||||||||

Net Earnings Per Share | Note D – Net Earnings Per Share | ||||||||
The Company’s basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The Company’s diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents relating to stock options and stock incentive plans. Certain outstanding options were excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculations because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during those periods. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2015, there were 1,814,149 and 869,490 options excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculation. For the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014, there were 855,242 and 877,802 options excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculation. | |||||||||

Goodwill is assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The Company performed an impairment assessment during the third quarter of Fiscal 2015. The results of this assessment showed that the estimated fair values of the reporting units to which goodwill is assigned continued to exceed the corresponding carrying values of the respective reporting units resulting in no goodwill impairment.

The Company’s general funding policy for its pension plans is to make at least the minimum contributions as required by applicable regulations. Additionally, the Company may elect to make additional contributions up to the maximum tax deductible contribution. For the nine months ended April 30, 2015, the Company made contributions of $2.8 million to its non-U.S. pension plans and $1.6 million to its U.S. pension plans. The minimum funding requirement for the Company’s U.S. plans for Fiscal 2015 is $12.1 million. Per the Pension Protection Act of 2006, this obligation can be met with existing credit balances that resulted from payments above the minimum obligation in prior years. The Company plans to utilize existing credit balances to meet the minimum obligation for Fiscal 2015. The Company currently estimates that it will contribute an additional $0.7 million to its non-U.S. pension plans during the remainder of Fiscal 2015. | |||||||||
In July 2013, the Company adopted a sunset freeze on its U.S. salaried pension plan. Effective August 1, 2013, the plan was frozen to any Employees hired on or after August 1, 2013. Effective August 1, 2016, Employees hired prior to August 1, 2013 will no longer continue to accrue Company contribution credits under the plan. Additionally, in July 2013, the Company announced that Employees hired on or after August 1, 2013 are eligible for a 3.0 percent annual Company retirement contribution in addition to the Company’s 401(k) match.

Credit Facilities | Note L – Credit Facilities |
On October 28, 2014, the Company entered into a First Amendment (Amendment) to its five-year, multi-currency revolving credit facility with a group of banks under which the Company was able to borrow up to $250.0 million. The Amendment increased the borrowing availability up to $400.0 million. The credit facility provides that loans may be made under a selection of currencies and rate formulas including Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans. The interest rate on each advance is based on certain market interest rates and leverage ratios. Facility fees and other fees on the entire loan commitment are payable over the duration of this facility. As of April 30, 2015, there was $275.0 million borrowed under this facility. The multi-currency revolving facility contains debt covenants specifically related to maintaining a certain interest coverage ratio, and a certain leverage ratio as well as other covenants that, under certain circumstances, can restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments and other restricted payments, create liens, and sell assets. As of April 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The Company expects to remain in compliance with these covenants. | |

Fair Values [Abstract] | ||||
Fair Values | Note M – Fair Values | |||
At April 30, 2015 and July 31, 2014, the Company’s financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, and derivative contracts. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximated carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. As of April 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of long-term debt with fixed interest rates was $265.9 million compared to the carrying value of $250.0 million. The fair value is estimated by discounting projected cash flows using the rate that similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed, which is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. | ||||
Derivative contracts are reported at their fair values based on third-party quotes. The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities listed below reflect the amounts that would be received to sell the assets or paid to transfer the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The financial assets and financial liabilities are primarily valued using standard calculations and models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. Industry standard data providers are the primary source for forward and spot rate information for both interest rates and currency rates. | ||||
The following summarizes the Company’s fair value of outstanding derivatives at April 30, 2015 and July 31, 2014 on the balance sheets (thousands of dollars): | ||||

Foreign exchange contracts | $ (2,577) | $ (1,242) | ||
Forward exchange contracts - net asset (liability) position | $ 873 | $ (311) | ||
*Inputs to the valuation methodology of Level 2 assets include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. | ||||
The Company holds equity method investments which are classified in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate carrying amount of these investments was $18.3 million as of April 30, 2015, and $21.4 million as of July 31, 2014. These equity method investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value of the Company’s equity method investments has not been estimated as there have been no identified events or changes in circumstance that would have had an adverse impact on the value of these investments. In the event that these investments were required to be measured, these investments would fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, due to the use of significant unobservable inputs to determine fair value, as the investments are privately-held entities without quoted market prices. | ||||
Goodwill and intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets are not recorded at fair value as there have been no events or circumstances that would have an adverse impact on the value of these assets. In the event that an impairment was recognized, the fair value would be classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note H for further discussion of the annual goodwill impairment analysis and carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets. | ||||
The Company assesses the impairment of property, plant, and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of property, plant, and equipment assets may not be recoverable. There were no significant impairment charges recorded during the three or nine months ended April 30, 2015 or 2014. | ||||

On April 16, 2015, the Company entered into a First Supplement to Note Purchase Agreement (First Supplement), dated April 16, 2015, with a group of institutional investors, which supplements a Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 27, 2014. Pursuant to the First Supplement, the Company issued $25.0 million of senior unsecured notes due April 16, 2025. The debt was issued at face value and bears interest payable semi-annually at an annual rate of interest of 2.93 percent. The proceeds from the notes primarily were used to refinance existing debt, and were also used for general corporate purposes. The notes contain debt covenants specifically related to maintaining a certain leverage ratio as well as other covenants that, under certain circumstances, can restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments and other restricted payments, create liens, and sell assets. As of April 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. The Company expects to remain in compliance with these covenants. | |
Subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, which the Company expects to be able to satisfy, the First Supplement also provides for the issuance and sale, on June 25, 2015, of $125.0 million 3.18 percent senior unsecured notes due June 17, 2030, to certain of the institutional investors. | |

Income Taxes | Note P – Income Taxes |
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2015 was 29.4 percent and 28.0 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014 was 28.5 percent and 27.9 percent, respectively. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended April 30, 2015, was primarily due to non-recurring discrete tax benefits recorded in the prior year quarter. | |
The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 30, 2015, was primarily due to a $6.4 million tax benefit associated with the favorable settlement of a tax audit recorded in the prior year nine month period. This increase was partially offset by the retroactive reinstatement of the Research and Experimentation Credit in the United States, which was recognized during the current year nine month period, and non-recurring tax costs associated with foreign dividend distributions recorded during the prior year nine month period. | |
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008. The United States Internal Revenue Service has completed examinations of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns through 2012. | |
At April 30, 2015, the total unrecognized tax benefits were $17.1 million and accrued interest and penalties on these unrecognized tax benefits were $1.8 million. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, substantially all of the unrecognized tax benefits would benefit the effective tax rate. With an average statute of limitations of about 5 years, up to $1.0 million of the unrecognized tax benefits could potentially expire in the next 12 month period. It is possible that quicker than expected settlement of either current audits, future audits, or disputes would cause additional reversals of previously recorded reserves in the next 12 month period. Quantification of an estimated range and timing of future audit settlements cannot be made at this time. | |

On September 30, 2014, the Company acquired 100 percent of the voting interest of Northern Technical, a Limited Liability Corporation that manufactures gas turbine inlet air filtration systems and replacement filters. Total consideration for the transaction was approximately $97.1 million after recording a working capital adjustment in accordance with the share purchase agreement during the second quarter. The Company received cash for this adjustment, which reduced the purchase price and goodwill. Based upon a preliminary acquisition valuation, including the impact of the working capital adjustment noted above, the Company acquired $6.2 million of intangible assets that had estimated useful lives ranging from six months to 7 years at the time of acquisition, $32.2 million of net tangible assets, and $60.3 million of goodwill. Acquired goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company is currently in the process of finalizing the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The actual allocation of the final purchase price and the resulting effect on income from operations may differ from the unaudited amounts included herein. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within one year of the purchase date. Northern Technical’s results of operations are reported as part of the Gas Turbine Products operating segment in the Industrial Products reporting segment. | ||
The Company anticipates potential additional adjustments pending finalization of the acquisition accounting. These adjustments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | ||
