2006 Form 10-Qs Filed
Flowserve filed its first and second quarter 2006 Form 10-Q quarterly reports with the SEC and is
now current with its financial report filings with the commission. We are delighted to return to
current filer status, said Flowserve President and Chief Executive Officer Lewis M. Kling. We
have taken many steps to improve our financial reporting processes. In addition, our global
financial organization is well positioned to continue to support our operations in taking advantage
of our exciting current business opportunities.
Outlook
I am very proud that we attained these significantly improved financial results while working hard
to become a current SEC filer, Kling said. We are encouraged by the success to date of our
operational excellence initiatives, our strong operating performance, and our ability to take
advantage of extremely robust markets, which we expect to continue. Todays stock repurchase
announcement further underscores our positive view and confidence in our company and our
businesses.

FIRST HALF 2006 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
Organic bookings, which excludes currency in the 2006 periods and discontinued operations in 2005,
increased 32 percent. Reported bookings were $1.8 billion, a 25 percent increase, including
negative currency effects of approximately $36 million. These increases in bookings reflect strong
growth in both aftermarket business and project-related business. First and second quarter 2006
reported bookings increased 23 percent and 26 percent compared with their respective prior year
periods on an absolute basis, which includes discontinued operations that were divested on Dec. 31,
2005.
Ending backlog for the first half of 2006 was a record $1.4 billion, a 41 percent increase,
including currency benefits of approximately $55 million, compared with year-end 2005. The
increase in backlog was primarily driven by strong pump business and reflects the number and size
of major project orders and longer customer requested lead times typical of robust markets.
First half 2006 sales were $1.4 billion, an 8 percent increase, including negative currency effects
of approximately $19 million. This increase reflects strong growth in both project-related and
aftermarket business. For the first and second quarters of 2006, sales increased 6 percent and 9
percent compared with their respective prior year periods.
3
Gross profit increased 13 percent to $466.1 million. Gross profit margin improved 140 basis points
to 33.1 percent. These increases primarily reflect the increased sales, which favorably affects
the absorption of fixed costs, cost savings resulting from the companys operational excellence and
ongoing continuous improvement initiatives, improved pricing discipline and a greater volume of
higher margin aftermarket business. For the first and second quarters of 2006, gross profit
increased 12 percent and 13 percent compared with their respective prior year periods.
We are extremely pleased by the significant improvements in our bookings, sales and gross profit
margin, and particularly the flow-through from sales, Kling said. This again confirms that our
operational excellence programs are continuing to gain momentum as we simultaneously benefit from
the robust market conditions. It is important to note that given this very strong customer market
environment, Flowserve was still able to improve its overall year-to-date on-time delivery
performance despite an environment increasingly characterized by occasional availability
constraints with subcontractors and suppliers. Bottom line, our operational excellence initiatives
are gaining traction and making a difference in our business.
First half 2006 selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) as a percentage of sales
declined 10 basis points to 25.3 percent. In the second quarter of 2006, SG&A as a percentage of
sales declined 330 basis points to
4
23.8 percent, from 27.1 percent in the first quarter of this year, which includes costs in closing
the companys 2004 and 2005 financial statements. SG&A for the first half of 2006 was $356.1
million, an increase of 7 percent, reflecting increased professional fees primarily related to the
companys previously delayed financial reporting as well as stock option and other equity-based
compensation expense.
We understand the nature and sources of our corporate expenses and professional fees, and are
starting to see the expected progress in reducing them, said Chief Financial Officer Mark A.
Blinn. As we have said before, some costs and fees related to compliance and completion of the
2004 and 2005 audits have reduced our financial results for the first half of 2006. We continue to
anticipate that 2007 will be more representative of our true run rate for such expenses.
Operating margin improved to 7.8 percent, an increase of 150 basis points. Second quarter 2006
operating margin improved 390 basis points to 9.6 percent, from 5.7 percent in the first quarter of
this year. Operating income increased 34 percent to $110.0 million. This improvement is mainly due
to the previously discussed factors that increased gross profit, partially offset by the increases
in SG&A. The increase includes negative currency effects of approximately $2 million.
5
Interest expense for the first half of 2006 declined $8.0 million, or 20 percent, to $31.9 million,
reflecting the benefits of the companys $1 billion August 2005 refinancing.
Net income more than tripled to $47.0 million, or 81 cents a diluted share, from $13.9 million, or
25 cents a diluted share, reflecting the improvements in gross profit and operating income,
reduction in interest expense, and the increase in other income, primarily due to unrealized gains
on forward exchange contracts versus losses in the prior year period. First quarter 2006 net
income increased to $13.9 million, or 24 cents a diluted share, from a net loss of $4.0 million, or
7 cents a diluted share, in the prior year period. Second quarter 2006 net income increased 84
percent to $33.1 million, or 57 cents a diluted share, compared with $18.0 million, or 32 cents a
diluted share, in the prior year period.
The company continued to generate solid cash flow in the first half of 2006 and used a portion of
it to repay $15.9 million of outstanding debt during the first half of the year. As a result, the
companys net debt-to-capital ratio improved to 39.6 percent at the end of the second quarter of
2006.
The company also said that Moodys Investor Service recently upgraded the companys bank debt
rating to Ba2, from Ba3. We are encouraged by Moodys decision to upgrade our debt rating, Blinn
said.
6
The company made no material contributions to its U.S. pension plan during the first half of 2006.
In September, we contributed approximately $36 million to our U.S. plan, Blinn said. In
addition to the stock repurchase program of up to 2 million shares that we are announcing today, we
will continue to review a variety of additional options for using our expected cash flow in future
periods, including possible dividends, increased capital expenditures and other strategic
opportunities.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Flowserve Announces Stock Repurchase Program Of Up To
2 Million Shares
DALLAS Sept. 29, 2006 Flowserve Corp. (NYSE: FLS) today announced that its board of
directors has authorized the company to repurchase up to 2 million shares of its outstanding common
stock, beginning after its planned November filing of its third quarter 2006 Form 10-Q with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Future share repurchases should help reduce dilution resulting from stock issuances under the
companys employee stock compensation plans, said President and Chief Executive Officer Lewis M.
Kling.
The company said it may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or through privately
negotiated transactions, depending on prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and
other factors. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be limited
or terminated at any time without notice. As of Sept. 25, 2006, the company had approximately 56.5 million shares
outstanding.
Flowserve Corp. is one of the worlds leading providers of fluid motion and control products and
services. Operating in 56 countries, the company produces engineered and industrial pumps, seals
and valves as well as a range of related flow management services.
