DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Flowserve Corporation FLS, a leading provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights [1]:

  • Reported Loss Per Share of $0.16 includes $0.68 per share of adjusted items, as detailed below, and approximately $0.02 per share of negative currency translation
    • Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS)[2] was $0.52, excluding the adjusted items but including the negative currency translation
    • Adjusted items includes $0.47 per share to reserve for certain Latin American non-cash exposures and realignment expenses of $0.21
  • Sales were $943 million, down 14.0% or 12.1% on a constant currency basis
    • Original equipment sales were $531 million, down 14.5% on a constant currency basis
    • Aftermarket sales were $412 million, down 8.8% on a constant currency basis
  • Total Bookings were $960 million, down 7.3% on a constant currency basis, and down 1.0% sequentially on a constant currency basis
    • Aftermarket bookings were $452 million, down 2.1% on a constant currency basis as compared to the 2015 third quarter. Year-to-date aftermarket bookings through September 30, 2016 were up 0.3% on a constant currency basis
  • Achieved approximately $37 million of realignment savings in the quarter, and remain on track to deliver expected incremental savings of approximately $100 million in 2016
  • Backlog at September 30, 2016 was $2.14 billion, down 1.6% versus year-end 2015 and up 1.7% sequentially, including third quarter book-to-bill of 1.02. Aftermarket backlog exceeded 30% of total backlog for the first time

"Our third quarter results were largely impacted by non-cash reserves recorded in our Latin American operations, as well as lower than expected short-cycle industrial and aftermarket revenues, particularly in September," said Mark Blinn, Flowserve's president and chief executive officer. "Though our energy and industrial customers remain deliberate in their investment decisions, reflected primarily in original equipment orders and continued project acceptance delays, we were pleased to achieve a book-to-bill greater than one for the first time since early 2015. As expected, core aftermarket activity demonstrated booking resiliency; however, ongoing rolling maintenance deferrals continued as our customers remain cautious in the current challenging end-market environment.

"Given the current market dynamics, we continue to remain focused on what we can control, including disciplined cost management, increasing our speed to market through e-commerce and optimizing efficiency across the organization. We are successfully executing on our realignment program and made solid progress towards the structural transformation of our business platform this quarter. As a result of these efforts, we remain on track to achieve our goal of approximately $100 million in incremental savings for the full year 2016. Flowserve has successfully navigated prior cycles, and we are leveraging that experience as we continue to focus on driving increased shareholder value over the long term, including disciplined growth investments and R&D initiatives," Blinn concluded.

Third Quarter 2016

For the third quarter of 2016, Flowserve delivered Adjusted EPS of $0.52 on revenues of $943 million. Reported gross and operating margins were 28.1% and -0.3%. Adjusted gross and operating margins of 32.4% and 11.7% continued to be impacted by lower volumes and under-absorption challenges, particularly in our Engineered and Industrial Product Divisions. Third quarter Adjusted EPS excludes the impact of non-cash charges to reserve for certain Latin American accounts receivables and net inventory exposures totaling $0.47, realignment expenses of $0.21, $0.01 of SIHI purchase price accounting and integration costs and a $0.01 gain from below-the-line FX, but includes $0.02 of negative currency translation. On a reported basis, loss per share for the third quarter was $0.16 per share.

Commenting on third quarter 2016 performance, Karyn Ovelmen, Flowserve's executive vice president and chief financial officer, said, "As a result of the continued deterioration of political and economic conditions in certain Latin American markets during the third quarter, Flowserve recorded non-cash charges totaling $79.1 million to fully reserve for potentially uncollectable undisputed accounts receivable and inventory exposures. While our markets remain challenged, we are pleased with the stability of our backlog thus far in 2016, including a greater mix of higher margin aftermarket work as we continue to benefit from our continued focus on bidding discipline to maintain backlog quality."

Realignment Program & Full Year 2016 Outlook

In the 2016 third quarter, Flowserve continued its progress on the transformational realignment program to repurpose, close or sell a number of manufacturing facilities and reduce total headcount approximately 15-20% by the end of 2017. Flowserve realized cost savings of approximately $37 million in the third quarter and continues to expect full year 2016 incremental savings of approximately $100 million. The Company expensed $37 million during the quarter related to realignment efforts, and for the full year 2016 continues to expect to incur realignment charges of approximately $160 million.

Flowserve updated its 2016 Adjusted[3] EPS target range to $2.05 to $2.25 per share, on expected revenue declines of 11 to 14 percent year-over-year, including a forecasted 2 percent currency headwind. Updated guidance reflects Flowserve's 2016 performance to date, expectations for the continuation of global macro uncertainty and challenging visibility into our end-markets, partially offset by our expected realignment savings as well as a reduced variable incentive compensation.

The forward-looking statements included in this news release 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 global economic conditions 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 taking 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; our ability to execute and realize the expected financial benefits from our strategic manufacturing optimization and realignment initiatives; economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations, including military actions or trade embargoes that could affect customer markets, particularly Middle Eastern markets and global oil and gas producers, and non-compliance with U.S. export/re-export 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, including in hyperinflationary countries such as Venezuela; our furnishing of products and services to nuclear power plant facilities and other critical processes; 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 ability to anticipate and manage cybersecurity risk, including the risk of potential business disruptions or financial losses; 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; our inability to protect our intellectual property in the U.S., as well as in foreign countries; obligations under our defined benefit pension plans; and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All forward-looking statements included in this news release are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods, providing investors with a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, planning and compensation decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Throughout our materials we refer to non-GAAP measures as "Adjusted." Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
