Discussion and analysis of the third quarter of 2007 financial results (all comparisons versus the third quarter of 2006 unless otherwise noted)
Fully diluted EPS increased sharply to a third quarter record $1.10 per share, up 116%. EPS was higher primarily due to improvements in operating income driven by an increase in sales of 19%, an improvement in gross margin of 170 basis points and a lowering of SG&A as a percentage of sales of 190 basis points.
2
Bookings increased to $1.1 billion, up $169 million or 19%, including currency benefits of approximately $47 million. This is the third consecutive quarter of bookings exceeding $1 billion and a third quarter record. The increase was driven primarily by strong growth across the chemical, power and water markets in the Pump Division, all key valve markets of the Flow Control Division, and oil and gas and general industries in the Flow Solutions Division. Backlog increased 39% to $2.3 billion from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2006.
Sales improved significantly to $919 million, up $148 million or 19%. This increase includes currency benefits of approximately $40 million. The strong sales growth reflects good conversion of earlier bookings into shipments in the quarter and strength in the oil and gas market.
Gross profit increased to $314 million, up $64 million or 26%. Gross margin increased by 170 basis points to 34.1%. The increase reflects higher sales volumes, which positively impact fixed cost absorption, operational excellence programs and the success of the company’s end user aftermarket strategy, which resulted in a higher level of aftermarket sales.
SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales improved 190 basis points to 22.9%. This is primarily the result of improved leverage of fixed SG&A expenses on strong sales growth and cost containment efforts. SG&A expenses in total increased to $210 million, up $19 million or 10%, while sales increased 19%. This increase is primarily attributed to an increase in selling-related expenses in support of the significant rise in bookings and sales, equity-based compensation arising from improved performance and a higher stock price, and the aforementioned charges for legal-related expenses.
3
Operating income increased significantly to $108 million, up $46 million or 75%. Income from operations benefited from significantly higher sales, improved gross profit and reduced SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales. Operating margin increased 380 basis points from 8.0% to 11.8%.
The company’s record fully diluted Q3 EPS of $1.10 includes the unfavorable impact of a $0.14 per share charge to SG&A in the quarter and a $0.17 per share charge for 2007 year-to-date in discrete expenses in legal fees and accrued settlement costs related to the investigation into two company foreign subsidiaries’ involvement in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program during 2001-2003. Subject to certain necessary approvals, the company has made substantial progress in resolving this matter with the appropriate U.S. government authorities and currently does not expect material further accruals in connection with the resolution of this matter with those authorities.
Flowserve Pump Division
Bookings for the third quarter of 2007 rose to $595 million, up $74 million or 14%, including currency benefits of approximately $29 million. This increase is primarily attributed to increased bookings in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMA), and it was primarily spread across the chemical, water and general industry markets. Both original equipment and aftermarket bookings continued to be strong, increasing 20% and 8%, respectively.
4
Pump Division sales for the third quarter of 2007 increased sharply to $496 million, up $95 million or 24%, including currency benefits of approximately $24 million. This increase is primarily attributed to significant increases in EMA and North America, reflecting solid throughput of orders in Flowserve’s production facilities, most notably in the oil and gas markets. Both original equipment and aftermarket sales growth accelerated significantly, up 21% and 30% respectively. Aftermarket sales mix increased to 42% in the third quarter of 2007, up from 40% in the third quarter of 2006, reflecting strong results from the Pump Division’s end-user focus strategy. “Flowserve Pump Division’s gross margin results help illustrate the power of mix shift between original equipment and aftermarket. This quarter we not only benefited from improved pricing, fixed cost absorption and operational excellence programs that have helped us all year, but we also saw an increase in margins from a mix shift towards aftermarket sales,” said Lewis M. Kling, Flowserve’s President and CEO.
Pump Division gross profit increased to $148 million, up $39 million or 36%. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2007 increased 280 basis points to 29.8%, reflecting significantly stronger aftermarket sales as noted above and improved absorption of fixed costs.
Operating income for the third quarter of 2007 increased to $69 million, up $29 million or 74%, including currency benefits of approximately $4 million. The significant increase is attributed to the $39 million increase in gross profit driven by improved pricing, operational excellence programs, fixed cost absorption and mix shift to aftermarket sales, combined with a 120 basis point improvement in leverage of divisional SG&A. Operating margin improved from 9.9% to 13.9%.
5
Flow Control Division
Bookings for the third quarter of 2007 increased markedly to $324 million, up $60 million or 23%, including currency benefits of approximately $13 million.The increase is generally attributed to sustained strength across all key end markets.
Flow Control Division sales for the third quarter of 2007 increased sharply to $295 million, up $37 million or 14%, including currency benefits of approximately $12 million. The increase is principally the result of strong North American oil and gas market project sales, and increased sales in the chemical market, most notably in China.
Flow Control Division gross profit increased to $101 million, up $13 million or 15%. Gross margin of 34.3% for the third quarter of 2007 was slightly improved when compared to the same period in 2006. Gross margin increases resulting from improved absorption on higher sales and the implementation of various continuous improvement programs were partially offset by inflation in materials and overhead costs and a higher mix of project sales.
Operating income for the Flow Control Division for the third quarter of 2007 increased to $41 million, up $6 million or 18%, including approximately $2 million in currency benefits. The increase is primarily due to the improvement in gross profit and a 30 basis point improvement in leverage of divisional SG&A. Operating margin showed solid improvement, up 40 basis points from 13.5% to 13.9%.
6
Flow Solutions Division
Bookings for the third quarter of 2007 increased dramatically to $159 million, up $34 million or 27%, including currency benefits of approximately $5 million. The increase in Flow Solutions Division bookings is primarily attributed to strong project business in North America and significantly higher aftermarket business in EMA and Asia.
Flow Solutions Division sales rose sharply in the third quarter of 2007 to $141 million, up $18 million or 15%, including currency benefits of approximately $4 million. This increase was driven by increased project sales in North America and expanded Quick Response Center (QRC) capacity, which has enabled the company to provide rapid order turnarounds to global customers.
Gross profit of the Flow Solutions Division increased at an even faster pace than sales to $65 million, up $9 million or 16%. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2007 increased 40 basis points to 45.8%. This increase was driven primarily by a product shift to the higher margin aftermarket business in EMA, pricing and improved fixed cost absorption from higher sales.
7
Operating income for the Flow Solutions Division for the third quarter of 2007 increased to $30 million, up $5 million or 19%, including approximately $1 million in currency benefits. The increase is primarily due to the significant improvement in gross profit previously described and a 40 basis point improvement in leverage of divisional SG&A. As a result, operating margin improved sharply, up 80 basis points to 21.6%.
2007 Outlook
“I’m extremely proud of the global team’s results through the first three quarters of 2007, and in particular the way our management team came together in Q3 to generate some of the best results in the company’s history. At the beginning of the year, we set out some aggressive targets for the company for 2007 and the team has answered the call and delivered terrific results each quarter, with each division playing an integral role,” said Kling. “We’re very excited about the year-to-date results, but even more excited about the future success of the company as we drive continuous improvement on all of our key initiatives. Based on our year-to-date results, I am confident we will achieve our earlier announced 2007 revenue and operating income targets. Accordingly, we are raising our sales target for 2007 to between $3.6 and $3.7 billion and reaffirming our operating income target of 200 to 300 basis points of improvement versus 2006. Looking beyond 2007, we are confident we are building a platform for future success.” Kling said.
