NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts and amounts described in millions)
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gardner Denver, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “Gardner Denver” or the “Company”). In consolidation, all significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
     The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows and all segment information for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 reflect the adoption in 2009 of new reporting guidance for noncontrolling interests codified in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation.
     The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2009 has been prepared from the books and records of the Company without audit. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements, have been included.
     The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the complete consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Gardner Denver’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
     The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
     Other than as specifically indicated in these “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has not materially changed its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
     In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). This update requires the following new disclosures: (i) the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and a description of the reasons for the transfers; and (ii) a reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), including separate information about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements. The update also clarifies existing requirements about fair value measurement disclosures and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the reconciliation of Level 3 activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. See Note 11 “Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements” for the disclosures required by ASU 2010-06. Adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
     In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855) – Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2010-09”). ASU 2010-09, among other provisions, eliminates the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2010.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) - Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2009-13”). It updates the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance currently included under FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements. The revised guidance primarily provides two significant changes: (i) eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to be treated as a separate unit of accounting, and (ii) eliminates the residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In addition, the guidance expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 2. Restructuring
     In 2008 and 2009, the Company finalized and announced certain restructuring plans designed to address (i) rationalization of the Company’s manufacturing footprint, (ii) slowing global economic growth and the resulting deterioration in the Company’s end markets and (iii) integration of CompAir Holdings Ltd. (“CompAir”) into its existing operations. These plans included the closure and consolidation of manufacturing facilities in Europe and the United States (“U.S.”), and various voluntary and involuntary employee termination and relocation programs. In accordance with FASB ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and FASB ASC 712, Compensation — Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, charges totaling $57.2 million (included in “Other operating expense,

Table of Contents

net”) were recorded in 2008 and 2009, of which $34.3 million was associated with the Industrial Products Group and $22.9 million was associated with the Engineered Products Group. Additional net charges totaling $2.3 million were recorded in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, of which $3.6 million was associated with the Industrial Products Group, partially offsest by a net credit of $1.3 million in the Engineered Products Group, reflecting the finalization of certain employee termination plans. Implementation of these plans was substantively completed during the first half of 2010. Payment of employee benefits is expected to be substantively completed in 2010.
     In 2009 and 2010, the Company recorded charges totaling approximately $8.7 million in connection with the consolidation of certain U.S. operations which it expects to be funded by a state grant. The anticipated amount of the grant was recorded as a reduction to the associated charges and the establishment of a current receivable. To date, the Company has received funding of approximately $8.5 million. If the Company does not maintain certain employment and payroll levels specified in the grant over a ten-year period, it will be obligated to return a portion of the grant to the state on a pro-rata basis. Any such amounts that may be returned to the state will be charged to operating income when identified. The Company currently expects to meet the required employment and payroll levels.
     In connection with the acquisition of CompAir, the Company has been implementing plans identified at or prior to the acquisition date to close and consolidate certain former CompAir functions and facilities, primarily in North America and Europe. These plans included various voluntary and involuntary employee termination and relocation programs affecting both salaried and hourly employees and exit costs associated with the sale, lease termination or sublease of certain manufacturing and administrative facilities. The terminations, relocations and facility exits associated with CompAir were substantively completed during 2009. A liability of $8.9 million was included in the allocation of the CompAir purchase price for the estimated cost of these actions at the CompAir acquisition date of October 20, 2008. This liability was increased by $2.1 million in 2009 to reflect the finalization of certain of these plans.

Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
     The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each business segment for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, and the year ended December 31, 2009, are presented in the table below. The adjustments to goodwill in 2009 are primarily related to the finalization of the valuation of certain CompAir intangible assets.
                         
    Industrial     Engineered        
    Products     Products     Total  
Balance as of December 31, 2008

Foreign currency translation
    (5,150 )     (2,786 )     (7,936 )
 
                 
Balance as of September 30, 2010
  $ 251,674     $ 328,225     $ 579,899  
 
                 
     The net goodwill impairment charge in 2009 of $252.5 million was the result of the continuing significant decline in order rates for certain products in the Industrial Products Group during the first quarter of 2009, the uncertain outlook regarding when such order rates might return to levels and growth rates experienced in recent years and the sustained decline in the price of the Company’s common stock through March 31, 2009. The net goodwill balances as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 reflect cumulative impairment charges of $252.5 million and zero for the Industrial Products and Engineered Products Groups, respectively.
     As a result of its annual evaluation of indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company recorded a $9.9 million non-cash impairment charge during 2009, primarily associated with a trade name in the Industrial Products Group segment.

     In March of 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (HR 3590) and the Health Care Education and Affordability Reconciliation Act (HR 4872) (the “Acts”) became law in the U.S. Based on the Company’s current understanding of the provisions of the Acts, it does not expect that the Acts will have a significant impact on its accounting for and valuation of retiree medical benefit plans. The Company will continue to assess the accounting implications of the Acts as related regulations and interpretations of the Acts become available. The

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity and Earnings (Loss) Per Share
     In November 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to acquire up to 3.0 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company repurchased 0.4 million shares under this program at a total cost of $17.6 million.
     The following table details the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 (shares in thousands):
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended  
    September 30,     September 30,  
    2010     2009     2010     2009

Diluted
  $ 0.88     $ 0.37     $ 2.20     $ (3.90 )
 
                       
 
(1)   Share equivalents totaling 231 thousand, consisting of outstanding stock options and nonvested restricted share awards, were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 because the net loss for the period caused all potentially dilutive shares to be anti-dilutive.
     For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, anti-dilutive equity-based awards to purchase 220 thousand and 771 thousand weighted-average shares of common stock were outstanding. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, anti-dilutive equity-based awards to purchase 214 thousand and 792 thousand weighted-average shares of common stock were outstanding. Antidilutive equity-based awards outstanding were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share.
Note 10. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
     The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of (i) unrealized foreign currency net gains and losses on the translation of the assets and liabilities of its foreign operations, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on hedges of net investments in foreign operations, (iii) unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges (consisting of interest rate swaps), net of income taxes, and (iv) pension and other postretirement prior service cost and actuarial gains or losses, net of income taxes.

Note 11. Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements
Hedging Activities
     The Company is exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of its business arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of operating and financing activities. The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”), including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, to manage the risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, respectively. The Company does not purchase or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates can be volatile, and the Company’s risk management activities do not totally eliminate these risks. Consequently, these fluctuations could have a significant effect on the Company’s financial results.
     The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from its borrowings of $305.6 million at September 30, 2010. The Company manages its debt centrally, considering tax consequences and its overall financing strategies. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of fixed and variable rate debt and, from time to time, uses pay-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt in order to adjust the relative proportions.
     A substantial portion of the Company’s operations is conducted by its subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the USD. Almost all of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. The USD, Euro, British pound sterling (“GBP”), and Chinese yuan (“CNY”) are the principal currencies in which the Company and its subsidiaries enter into transactions. The Company is exposed to the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, and earnings into USD. The Company partially offsets these exposures by having certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries act as the obligor on a portion of its borrowings and by denominating such borrowings, as well as a portion of the borrowings for which the Company is the obligor, in currencies other than the USD.

17


Table of Contents

     The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the risk that arises when they, from time to time, enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To mitigate this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries typically settle intercompany trading balances monthly. The Company also selectively uses forward currency contracts to manage this risk. These contracts for the sale or purchase of European and other currencies generally mature within one year.
     In accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“FASB ASC 815”), the Company records its derivatives as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized either in net income or in other comprehensive income (“OCI”), depending on the designated purpose of the derivative. All cash flows associated with derivatives are classified as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. It is the Company’s policy not to speculate in derivative instruments.
     Fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the value of non-USD borrowings that have been designated as hedges of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income.
     The following tables summarize the notional amounts, fair values and classification of the Company’s outstanding derivatives by risk category and instrument type within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

(1)   Notional amounts represent the gross contract amounts of the outstanding derivatives excluding the total notional amount of positions that have been effectively closed through offsetting positions. The net gains and net losses associated with positions that have been effectively closed through offsetting positions but not yet settled are included in the asset and liability derivatives fair value columns, respectively.
     Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with FASB ASC 815 included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, are as presented in the table below:

(1)   Losses on derivatives reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) into income (effective portion) were included in the interest expense line on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
     At September 30, 2010, the Company is the fixed rate payor on three interest rate swap contracts that effectively fix the LIBOR-based index used to determine the interest rates charged on a total of $50.0 million and €20.0 million of the Company’s LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings. These contracts carry fixed rates ranging from 1.8% to 2.2% and have expiration dates ranging from 2012 to 2013. These swap agreements qualify as hedging instruments and have been designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted LIBOR-based interest payments. Based on LIBOR-based swap yield curves as of September 30, 2010, the Company expects to reclassify losses of $1.6 million out of AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months. The Company’s LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2010 were $91.3 million and €52.0 million.

Table of Contents

     There were 57 foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2010 with notional amounts ranging from $0.1 million to $10.9 million. The Company has not designated any forward contracts as hedging instruments. The majority of these contracts are used to hedge the change in fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in the fair value of these contracts generally offset the changes in the fair value of a corresponding amount of the hedged items, both of which are included in the other operating expense, net, line on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded net losses of $6.2 million and $1.0 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, relating to foreign currency forward contracts outstanding during all or part of each period. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded net losses of $0.8 million and $14.9 million, respectively, relating to foreign currency forward contracts outstanding during all or part of each period. Total net foreign currency gains or losses reported in other operating expense were losses of $1.7 million and gains of $1.6 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and losses of $1.1 million and zero in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
     As of September 30, 2010, the Company has designated a portion of its term loan denominated in EUR of approximately €19.0 million as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in subsidiaries with EUR functional currencies. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of this debt due to changes in the USD to EUR exchange rate are recorded through other comprehensive income. During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded losses of $0.9 million and $0.8 million, net of tax, respectively, through other comprehensive income. During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded gains of $1.7 million and losses of $1.2 million, net of tax, respectively, through other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, the net balances of such gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income were losses of $3.8 million and $4.5 million, net of tax, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements
     The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, deferred compensation assets and obligations, derivatives and debt instruments. The book values of these instruments, other than the Senior Subordinated Notes, are a reasonable estimate of their respective fair values.
     The Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding are carried at cost. Their estimated fair value was approximately $127.5 million as of September 30, 2010 based upon non-binding market quotations that were corroborated by observable market data (Level 2).

Note 12. Income Taxes
     As of September 30, 2010, the total balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $5.4 million compared with $5.2 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in the balance was primarily due to an increase in tax reserves related to tax audits in Germany, net of a Canadian settlement. The unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2010 include $5.4 million of uncertain tax positions that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized, of which $2.6 million would be offset by a reduction of a corresponding deferred tax asset. The Company does not expect any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
     The Company’s accounting policy with respect to interest expense on underpayments of income tax and related penalties is to recognize such interest expense and penalties as part of the provision for income taxes. The Company’s income tax liabilities at September 30, 2010 include approximately $1.3 million of accrued interest and $0.3 million of penalties.
     The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the tax years 2005 to 2007 are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of the date of this report, the examination has not identified any material changes. A separate examination for the tax years 2008 and 2009 was initiated by the Internal Revenue Service during the

21


Table of Contents

quarter ending September 30, 2010, which examination was pending as of the date of this report. The statutes of limitations for the U.S. state tax returns are open beginning with the 2006 tax year, except for four states for which the statutes have been extended, beginning with the 2003 tax year for one state, the 2004 tax year for one state and the 2005 tax year for two states.
     The Company is subject to income tax in approximately 30 jurisdictions outside the U.S. The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction. The Company’s significant operations outside the U.S. are located in China, the United Kingdom and Germany. In Germany, six subsidiaries are under audit for the tax years beginning with the 2003 tax year, two subsidiaries beginning with the 2004 tax year, six subsidiaries beginning with the 2005 tax year and one subsidiary beginning with the 2006 tax year. As of the date of this report, the examinations have not identified any material changes. In China and the United Kingdom, tax years prior to 2006 are closed. In addition, audits are being conducted in other various countries. To date, no material adjustments have been proposed as a result of these audits.
     The provision for income taxes was $38.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $14.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The provision in the nine-month period of 2009 reflected the reversal of deferred tax liabilities totaling $11.6 million associated with a portion of the net goodwill and all of the trade name impairment charges recorded in the nine-month period of 2009. Deferred tax liabilities were recorded when the trade name was established and as tax deductible goodwill was amortized, a corresponding deferred tax liability was established. A portion of the goodwill for which the impairment charge was taken was not amortizable for tax purposes and, accordingly, deferred tax liabilities were not recorded when the goodwill was established and a corresponding tax benefit did not arise upon the impairment of that portion of goodwill. In addition, a $3.6 million credit for the reversal of an income tax reserve and the related interest associated with the completion of a foreign tax examination was recorded in the nine-month period of 2009. These benefits were partially offset by an $8.6 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets related to net operating losses recorded in connection with the acquisition of CompAir based on revised financial projections.

Note 14. Contingencies
     The Company is a party to various legal proceedings, lawsuits and administrative actions, which are of an ordinary or routine nature. In addition, due to the bankruptcies of several asbestos manufacturers and other primary defendants, among other things, the Company has been named as a defendant in a number of asbestos personal injury lawsuits. The Company has also been named as a defendant in a number of silica personal injury lawsuits. The plaintiffs in these suits allege exposure to asbestos or silica from multiple sources and typically the Company is one of approximately 25 or more named defendants. In the Company’s experience to date, the substantial majority of the plaintiffs have not suffered an injury for which the Company bears responsibility.
     Predecessors to the Company sometimes manufactured, distributed and/or sold products allegedly at issue in the pending asbestos and silica litigation lawsuits (the “Products”). However, neither the Company nor its predecessors ever mined, manufactured, mixed, produced or distributed asbestos fiber or silica sand, the materials that allegedly caused the injury underlying the lawsuits. Moreover, the asbestos-containing components of the Products, if any, were enclosed within the subject Products.
     The Company has entered into a series of agreements with certain of its or its predecessors’ legacy insurers and certain potential indemnitors to secure insurance coverage and/or reimbursement for the costs associated with the asbestos and silica lawsuits filed against the Company. The Company has also pursued litigation against certain insurers or indemnitors where necessary. The latest of these actions, Gardner Denver, Inc. v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London, et al., was filed on July 9, 2010, in the Eighth Judicial District, Adams County, Illinois, as case number 10-L-48 (the “Adams County Case”). In the lawsuit, the Company seeks, among other things, to require certain excess insurer defendants to honor their insurance policy obligations to the Company, including payment in whole or in part of the costs associated with the asbestos lawsuits filed against the Company.
     The Company believes that the pending and future asbestos and silica lawsuits are not likely to, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, based on: the Company’s anticipated insurance and indemnification rights to address the risks of such matters; the limited potential asbestos exposure from the components described above; the Company’s experience that the vast majority of plaintiffs are not impaired with a disease attributable to alleged exposure to asbestos or silica from or relating to the Products or for which the Company otherwise bears responsibility; various potential defenses available to the Company with respect to such matters; and the Company’s prior disposition of comparable matters. However, due to inherent uncertainties of litigation and because future developments, including, without limitation, potential insolvencies of insurance companies or other defendants, or an adverse determination in the Adams County Case, could cause a different outcome, there can be no assurance that the resolution of pending or future lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
     The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to several sites designated for cleanup under federal “Superfund” or similar state laws that impose liability for cleanup of certain waste sites and for related natural resource damages. Persons potentially liable for such costs and damages generally include the site owner or operator and persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at those sites. Although these laws impose joint and several liability, in application, the PRPs

23


Table of Contents

typically allocate the investigation and cleanup costs based upon the volume of waste contributed by each PRP. Based on currently available information, the Company was only a small contributor to these waste sites, and the Company has, or is attempting to negotiate, de minimis settlements for their cleanup. The cleanup of the remaining sites is substantially complete and the Company’s future obligations entail a share of the sites’ ongoing operating and maintenance expense.
     The Company is also addressing three on-site cleanups for which it is the primary responsible party. Two of these cleanup sites are in the operation and maintenance stage and the third is in the implementation stage. Based on currently available information, the Company does not anticipate that any of these sites will result in material additional costs beyond those already accrued on its balance sheet.
     The Company has an accrued liability on its balance sheet to the extent costs are known or can be reasonably estimated for its remaining financial obligations for these matters. Based upon consideration of currently available information, the Company does not anticipate any material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws or regulations, or cleanup costs relating to the sites discussed above.
Note 15. Guarantor Subsidiaries
     The Company’s obligations under its 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Subordinated Notes are referred to as the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.” The guarantor condensed consolidating financial data below presents the statements of operations, balance sheets and statements of cash flows data (i) for Gardner Denver, Inc. (the “Parent Company”), the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (which is derived from Gardner Denver’s historical reported financial information); (ii) for the Parent Company alone (accounting for its Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on a cost basis under which the investments are recorded by each entity owning a portion of another entity at historical cost); (iii) for the Guarantor Subsidiaries alone; and (iv) for the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries alone.

petrochemical and power industries. This segment also designs, manufactures, markets and services other engineered products and components and equipment for the chemical, petroleum and food industries. The markets served are primarily in the U.S., Europe, Canada and Asia.
     The Company has determined its reportable segments in accordance with FASB ASC 280 and evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on, among other measures, operating income (loss), which is defined as income (loss) before interest expense, other income, net, and income taxes. Reportable segment operating income (loss) and segment operating margin (defined as segment operating income (loss) divided by segment revenues) are indicative of short-term operating performance and ongoing profitability. Management closely monitors the operating income and operating margin of each reportable segment to evaluate past performance and actions required to improve profitability. See Note 16 “Segment Results” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
     To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management, from time to time, uses additional measures to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. These measures may exclude, for example, the impact of unique and infrequent items or items outside of management’s control (e.g. impairment charges and foreign currency exchange rates). Such measures are provided in addition to and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measure under GAAP.
Results of Operations
Performance during the Quarter Ended September 30, 2010 Compared
with the Quarter Ended September 30, 2009
Revenues
     Revenues increased $64.6 million, or 15%, to $493.4 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $428.8 million in the three-month period of 2009. This increase was attributable to increased volume ($59.7 million, or 14%), price increases ($13.7 million, or 3%) and the acquisition of ILMVAC ($4.0 million, or 1%), partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($12.8 million, or 3%).
     Revenues in the Industrial Products Group increased $22.1 million, or 9%, to $280.6 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $258.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. This increase reflects higher volume (11%) and price increases (1%), partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates (3%). The volume increase was attributable to improvement in demand for OEM products and aftermarket parts and services on a global basis.
     Revenues in the Engineered Products Group increased $42.5 million, or 25%, to $212.8 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $170.3 million in the third quarter of 2009. This increase reflects higher volume (18%), price increases (7%) and the acquisition of ILMVAC (2%), partially offset by unfavorable changes in

Table of Contents

foreign currency exchange rates (2%). The volume increase reflected accelerating demand for drilling and well servicing pumps, loading arms, engineered packages and OEM products.
Gross Profit
     Gross profit increased $25.1 million, or 19%, to $160.3 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $135.2 million in the three-month period of 2009, and as a percentage of revenues was 32.5% in 2010, compared to 31.5% in 2009. The increase in gross profit primarily reflects the volume increases discussed above, favorable product mix and cost reductions, partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the benefits of operational improvements, cost reductions, volume leverage and favorable product mix.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
     Selling and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million, or 1%, to $91.1 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $90.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. This increase reflects higher variable compensation and benefit expenses, largely offset by cost reductions and the favorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($3.0 million). As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses improved to 18.5% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 21.0% in the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of cost reductions and leverage from higher revenues.
Other Operating Expense, Net
     Other operating expense, net, was $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 compared to $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2009. The year-over-year change was due primarily to lower restructuring charges in 2010.
Impairment Charges
     An impairment charge of $2.5 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2009 in connection with the evaluation of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the Industrial Products Group.
Operating Income
     Operating income of $68.0 million in the third quarter of 2010 increased $35.9 million, or 112%, compared to $32.1 million in the third quarter of 2009. This improvement reflects the gross profit, selling and administrative expenses, other operating expense, net, and impairment charge factors discussed above. Operating income as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter of 2010 was 13.8%. Charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items were not material. Operating income as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter of 2009 was 7.5% and reflects net charges totaling $15.8 million, or 3.7% of revenues, associated with profit improvement initiatives, the impairment charge and other items.
     The Industrial Products Group generated segment operating income and segment operating margin of $26.5 million and 9.4%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $7.6 million and 2.9%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009 (see Note 16 “Segment Results” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial

Table of Contents

Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of segment operating income (loss) to consolidated operating income (loss)). Charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items were not material in the third quarter of 2010. Results in the third quarter of 2009 reflect the net goodwill and trade name impairment charge of $2.5 million and charges totaling $7.6 million associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items. Other than the impairment charge and the lower charges for profit improvement initiatives and other items, the year over year improvement in operating income was primarily attributable to cost reductions completed over the previous twelve months and incremental profit on revenue growth.
     The Engineered Products Group generated segment operating income and segment operating margin of $41.5 million and 19.5%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $24.6 million and 14.4%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009 (see Note 16 “Segment Results” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of segment operating income (loss) to consolidated operating income (loss)). Charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items were not material in the third quarter of 2010. Results in the third quarter of 2009 were negatively impacted by charges totaling $5.7 million, or 3.4% of segment revenues, associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items. Other than these items, the year over year improvement in operating income was primarily attributable to cost reductions completed over the previous twelve months, favorable product mix and incremental profitability on revenue growth.
Interest Expense
     Interest expense of $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 decreased $1.4 million from $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2009 due primarily to lower average borrowings in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. The weighted average interest rate, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, increased to 7.2% in the third quarter of 2010 compared to 6.2% in the third quarter of 2009 due primarily to the greater relative weight of the fixed interest rate on the Company’s 8% Senior Subordinated Notes.
Provision for Income Taxes
     The provision for income taxes was $16.6 million and the effective tax rate was 26.2% in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $7.1 million and 26.5%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009. The year over year increase in the provision reflects higher taxable income.
Net Income Attributable to Gardner Denver
     Net income attributable to Gardner Denver of $46.6 million and diluted earnings per share (“DEPS”) of $0.88 in the third quarter of 2010 compares with net income attributable to Gardner Denver and DEPS of $19.4 million and $0.37, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009. This improvement reflects the operating income, interest expense and income tax factors discussed above. Charges for profit improvement initiatives and other items were not material in the third quarter of 2010. Results in the third quarter of 2009 reflect the net goodwill and trade name impairment charge of $2.5 million after income tax ($0.05 per diluted share) and charges for profit improvement initiatives and other items totaling $10.1 million after income taxes ($0.19 per diluted share). These items reduced third quarter 2009 net income attributable to Gardner Denver by $12.6 million and DEPS by $0.24.

Performance during the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared
with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
Revenues
     Revenues increased $37.7 million, or 3%, to $1,365.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $1,327.4 million in the nine-month period of 2009. This increase was due to higher volume ($12.6 million, or 1%, in total) attributable to on-going improvements in demand for petroleum products, OEM products, and aftermarket parts and services, price increases ($19.0 million, or 2%), the acquisition of ILMVAC ($4.0 million) and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($2.1 million).
     Revenues in the Industrial Products Group increased $33.0 million, or 4%, to $795.7 million in the nine-month period of 2010, compared to $762.7 million in the nine-month period of 2009. This increase reflects higher volume (3%), price increases (1%) and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The volume increase was attributable to improvement in demand for OEM products and aftermarket parts and services on a global basis.
     Revenues in the Engineered Products Group increased $4.8 million, or 1%, to $569.5 million in the nine-month period of 2010, compared to $564.7 million in the nine-month period of 2009. This increase reflects the acquisition of ILMVAC ($4.0 million, or 1%), price increases (2%) and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by lower volume (2%). The decline in volume was attributable to the global economic slowdown and was realized across most product lines and geographic regions, other than OEM products, in the first half of the year, partially offset by increases for petroleum products and loading arms in the third quarter of 2010.
Gross Profit
     Gross profit increased $39.4 million, or 10%, to $445.7 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $406.3 million in the nine-month period of 2009, and as a percentage of revenues was 32.7% in 2010, compared to 30.6% in 2009. The increase in gross profit primarily reflects volume improvements, cost reductions and favorable product mix. The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the benefits of operational improvements, cost reductions and favorable product mix.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
     Selling and administrative expenses decreased $1.2 million to $270.5 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $271.7 million in the nine-month period of 2009. This decrease reflects cost reductions, partially offset by higher variable compensation and benefit expenses and the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($0.3 million). As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses improved to 19.8% in the nine-month period of 2010 compared to 20.5% in the nine-month period of 2009, primarily due to cost reductions and leverage from higher revenues.

Table of Contents

Other Operating Expense, Net
     Other operating expense, net, was $3.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $39.2 million in the nine-month period of 2009. The year-over-year change was due primarily to lower restructuring charges in 2010 compared to 2009 and an insurance settlement received in the first quarter of 2010.
Impairment Charges
     In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $253.6 million and $10.0 million to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill and a trade name, respectively, in its Industrial Products Group. The net goodwill and trade name impairment charges in 2009 of $252.5 million and $9.9 million, respectively, were finalized in the fourth quarter of 2009. See Note 4 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Operating Income (Loss)
     Operating income of $172.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compares to an operating loss of $168.1 million in the nine-month period of 2009. These results reflect the gross profit, selling and administrative expenses, other operating expense, net, and impairment charge factors discussed above. Operating income as a percentage of revenues in the nine-month period of 2010 was 12.6% and reflects charges totaling $2.9 million, or 0.2% of revenues, associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items. The operating loss recorded in the nine-month period of 2009 reflects the $263.6 million net goodwill and trade name impairment charges and charges totaling $41.3 million associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items.
     The Industrial Products Group generated segment operating income and segment operating margin of $66.2 million and 8.3%, respectively, in the nine-month period of 2010, compared to a segment operating loss of $260.2 million in the nine-month period of 2009 (see Note 16 “Segment Results” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of segment operating income (loss) to consolidated operating income (loss)). Results in the nine-month period of 2010 reflect charges totaling $3.7 million, or 0.5% of segment revenues, associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items. Results in the nine-month period of 2009 reflect the net goodwill and trade name impairment charges of $263.6 million and charges totaling $25.7 million associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items. Other than the charges for profit improvement initiatives, impairment and other items, the year over year improvement was primarily attributable to cost reductions completed over the previous twelve months and incremental profit on revenue growth.
     The Engineered Products Group generated segment operating income and segment operating margin of $105.9 million and 18.6%, respectively, in the nine-month period of 2010, compared to $92.0 million and 16.3%, respectively, in the nine-month period of 2009 (see Note 16 “Segment Results” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of segment operating income (loss) to consolidated operating income (loss)). Charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items were not material in the nine-month period of 2010. Results in the

Table of Contents

nine-month period of 2009 were negatively impacted by charges totaling $15.6 million, or 2.8% of segment revenues, associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items. Excluding these items, operating income in 2010 was lower than in 2009 due primarily to volume reductions and unfavorable product mix during the first two quarters of 2010, largely offset by cost reductions completed over the previous twelve months and favorable product mix and incremental profitability on revenue growth in the third quarter of 2010.
Interest Expense
     Interest expense of $17.8 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 decreased $3.6 million from $21.4 million in the nine-month period of 2009 due primarily to lower average borrowings in the nine-month period of 2010, compared to the nine-month period of 2009. The weighted average interest rate, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, increased to 7.1% in the nine-month period of 2010, compared to 5.8% in the nine-month period of 2009, due primarily to the greater relative weight of the fixed interest rate on the Company’s 8% Senior Subordinated Notes.
Provision for Income Taxes
     The provision for income taxes was $38.9 million and the effective tax rate was 25.0% in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to an income tax provision of $14.4 million in the nine-month period of 2009. The provision in the nine-month period of 2009 reflected a benefit for the reversal of deferred tax liabilities totaling $11.6 million associated with a portion of the net goodwill and all of the trade name impairment charges recorded in the nine-month period of 2009. Deferred tax liabilities were recorded when the trade name was established and as tax deductible goodwill was amortized, a corresponding deferred tax liability was established. A portion of the goodwill for which the impairment charge was taken was not amortizable for tax purposes and, accordingly, deferred tax liabilities were not recorded when the goodwill was established and a corresponding tax benefit did not arise upon the impairment of that portion of goodwill. In addition, a $3.6 million credit for the reversal of an income tax reserve and the related interest associated with the completion of a foreign tax examination was recorded in the nine-month period of 2009. These benefits were partially offset by an $8.6 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets related to net operating losses recorded in connection with the acquisition of CompAir based on revised financial projections.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Gardner Denver
     Net income attributable to Gardner Denver of $115.9 million and DEPS of $2.20 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compares with a net loss attributable to Gardner Denver of $202.4 million, or $3.90 per diluted share, in the nine-month period of 2009. Results in the nine-month period of 2010 include charges for profit improvement initiatives and other items totaling $2.2 million after income taxes, or $0.04 on a per diluted share basis. Results in the nine-month period of 2009 reflect the net goodwill and trade name impairment charges and associated reversal of deferred income tax liabilities ($252.0 million, after income taxes), write-off of deferred tax assets ($8.6 million), charges for profit improvement initiatives and other non-recurring items ($29.6 million, after income taxes), partially offset by the reversal of the income tax reserve and related interest ($3.6 million). These items reduced net income attributable to Gardner Denver in the nine-month period of 2009 by $286.6 million, or $5.52 per diluted share.

     In general, the Company believes that demand for products in its Industrial Products Group tends to correlate with the rate of total industrial capacity utilization and the rate of change of industrial production because compressed air is often used as a fourth utility in the manufacturing process. Capacity utilization rates above 80% have historically indicated a good demand environment for industrial equipment such as compressor and vacuum products. Over longer time periods, the Company believes that demand also tends to follow economic growth patterns indicated by the rates of change in the gross domestic product around the world. The significant contraction in manufacturing capacity utilization in the U.S. and Europe, which began in 2008, has resulted in lower demand for capital equipment, such as compressor packages, as existing equipment remained idle. The Company believes there have been recent improvements in global capacity utilization rates, which indicate a slightly more positive environment for aftermarket parts and services for industrial equipment, but that the improvements have not been sufficient to warrant significant capital investments by manufacturing companies in the U.S. and Europe.
     In the third quarter of 2010, orders in the Industrial Products Group increased $28.2 million, or 12%, to $270.8 million, compared to $242.6 million in the third quarter of 2009. This increase reflected on-going improvement in demand for OEM products and aftermarket parts and services in North America and Asia Pacific and relatively stable demand in Europe ($36.4 million, or 15%), partially offset by the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($8.2 million, or 3%). Order backlog for the Industrial Products Group increased 12% to $217.0 million as of September 30, 2010 from $193.2 million at December 31, 2009 due primarily to the impact of orders exceeding shipments during the first nine months of 2010 ($25.6 million, or 13%), partially offset by the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($1.8 million, or 1%). Order backlog for the Industrial Products Group as of September 30, 2010 increased 3% compared to $211.0 million as of September 30, 2009, primarily due to orders exceeding shipments during the twelve-month period, partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As a result of the Company’s expectations for a slow economic recovery and its existing backlog, it anticipates revenues for Industrial Products to increase slightly in the fourth quarter of 2010, but continues to remain cautious in its outlook.
     Orders in the Engineered Products Group increased 64% to $279.9 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to $170.2 million in the third quarter of 2009, due to accelerating demand for drilling and well servicing pumps, loading arms and engineered packages for infrastructure investments and continuing strong demand for OEM products ($111.9 million, or 65%) and the acquisition of ILMVAC ($3.6 million, or 2%), partially offset by the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($5.8 million, or 3%). Order backlog for the Engineered Products Group increased 69% to $341.7 million as of September 30, 2010 from $202.0 million at December 31, 2009 due primarily to the impact of orders exceeding shipments during the first nine months of 2010 ($140.6 million, or 70%) and the acquisition of ILMVAC ($2.0 million, or 1%), partially offset by the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($2.9 million, or 2%). Order backlog for the Engineered Products Group as of September 30, 2010 increased 44% compared to $237.0 million as of September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of increased demand during the first nine months of 2010 and the acquisition of ILMVAC, partially offset by the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Orders for products in the Engineered Products Group have historically corresponded to demand for petrochemical products and been influenced by prices for oil and natural gas, and rig count, among other factors, which the Company cannot predict. Revenues for Engineered Products depend more on existing backlog levels than revenues for

Industrial Products. Many of these products are used in process applications, such as oil and gas refining and chemical processing, which are industries that typically experience increased demand very late in economic cycles. At present, orders for products used in these applications are primarily for replacement units, aftermarket parts and services, or for infrastructure investments in developing countries. Furthermore, the Company is uncertain whether reduced prices for natural gas will ultimately affect demand for well servicing pumps and related aftermarket parts and services. The Company’s current outlook assumes that drilling pump shipments will improve in the fourth quarter of 2010 and that demand for well servicing equipment and OEM compressors will remain strong through the balance of the year.
     Order backlog consists of orders believed to be firm for which a customer purchase order has been received or communicated. However, since orders may be rescheduled or canceled, order backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenue levels.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Working Capital
     During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, net working capital (defined as total current assets less total current liabilities) increased to $457.5 million from $395.0 million at December 31, 2009. Operating working capital (defined as accounts receivable plus inventories, less accounts payable and accrued liabilities) increased $10.9 million to $273.6 million from $262.7 million at December 31, 2009 due to higher accounts receivable ($40.5 million) and inventory ($9.4 million), partially offset by higher accounts payable ($22.3 million) and accrued liabilities ($16.7 million). The increase in accounts receivable was due primarily to higher revenues and the timing of shipments within the third quarter. Days sales in receivables increased to 68 at September 30, 2010 from 67 at December 31, 2009 due primarily to the timing of shipments within the third quarter, and were down from 74 days at September 30, 2009. The increase in inventory primarily reflects growth attributable to increases in both orders and backlog in 2010 primarily as a result of increased demand for petroleum and OEM products, aftermarket parts, loading arms and engineered packages. Inventory turns improved to 5.6 in the third quarter of 2010, compared with 5.4 in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 4.9 in the third quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of productivity improvements. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was due primarily to the timing of payments to vendors and higher accruals for compensation and benefit expenses, primarily in the first quarter of 2010, partially offset by cash payments for employee termination benefits.
Cash Flows
     Cash provided by operating activities of $153.2 million in the nine-month period of 2010 increased $4.8 million from $148.4 million in the comparable period of 2009. This change was primarily due to higher net income (excluding non-cash charges for the impairment of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains). A net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates) in 2010 compared to a net decrease in 2009, was offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventories (excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates) in the nine-month period of 2010 compared with decreases in the nine-month period of 2009. Cash used for operating working capital of $13.4 million in the nine-month period of 2010 compares to cash

generated of $41.9 million in the nine-month period of 2009. Cash used by accounts receivable of $40.4 million in the nine-month period of 2010 compares with cash generated of $54.8 million in the nine-month period of 2009. This change primarily reflects the increase in revenues in 2010, while revenues were declining in the prior year period. Cash used by inventories of $10.0 million in the nine-month period of 2010 compares with cash generated of $55.4 million in the nine-month period of 2009 and was attributable to increases in both orders and backlog during the first nine months of 2010, partially offset by the benefits realized from productivity improvements. Inventory reductions in the nine-month period of 2009 reflected the initial benefits realized from completion of certain lean manufacturing initiatives and reductions attributable to volume declines. Cash inflows from accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $37.0 million in the nine-month period of 2010 compares to outflows of $68.3 million in the nine-month period of 2009. The year over year change primarily reflects higher accruals for variable compensation and benefits expense in 2010 and cash payments under the Company’s restructuring plans in 2009.
     Net cash used in investing activities of $30.1 million and $34.0 million in the nine-month periods of 2010 and 2009, respectively, consisted primarily of capital expenditures on assets intended to increase operating efficiency and flexibility, support acquisition integration initiatives and bring new products to market and, in 2010, cash paid for the acquisition of ILMVAC in the third quarter. The Company currently expects capital expenditures to total approximately $35 to $40 million for the full year 2010. As a result of the Company’s application of lean principles, non-capital or less capital-intensive solutions are often utilized in process improvement initiatives and capital replacement. Capital expenditures related to environmental projects have not been significant in the past and are not expected to be significant in the foreseeable future.
     Net cash used in financing activities of $65.1 million in the nine-month period of 2010 compares with $135.3 million used in the nine-month period of 2009. Cash provided by operating activities was used for net repayments of short-term and long-term borrowings totaling $56.7 million in the nine-month period of 2010 and $135.4 million in the nine-month period of 2009. Lower debt repayments in the nine-month period of 2010 compared with the nine-month period of 2009 were partly attributable to the Company’s repurchase of shares of its common stock totaling $17.9 million, including shares exchanged or surrendered in connection with its stock option plans of $0.3 million, the payment of cash dividends on its common stock of $7.9 million, and the acquisition of ILMVAC on July 1, 2010.
Share Repurchase Program
     In November 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to acquire up to 3.0 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, of which approximately 2.6 million shares remain available for repurchase as of September 30, 2010.
Liquidity
     The Company’s debt to total capital ratio (defined as total debt divided by the sum of total debt plus total stockholders’ equity) was 20.8% as of September 30, 2010 compared to 25.5% as of December 31, 2009. This decrease primarily reflects a $59.0 million net decrease in borrowings between these two dates.

     The Company’s primary cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, principal and interest payments on indebtedness, cash dividends on its common stock, selective acquisitions and any stock repurchases. The Company’s primary sources of funds are its ongoing net cash flows from operating activities and availability under its Revolving Line of Credit (as defined below). At September 30, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $166.6 million, of which $3.5 million was pledged to financial institutions as collateral to support the issuance of standby letters of credit and similar instruments. The Company also had $294.0 million of unused availability under its Revolving Line of Credit at September 30, 2010. Based on the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2010 and its pro-forma results of operations for the twelve months then ended, the unused availability under its Revolving Line of Credit would not have been limited by the financial ratio covenants in the 2008 Credit Agreement (as described below).
     On September 19, 2008, the Company entered into the 2008 Credit Agreement consisting of (i) a $310.0 million Revolving Line of Credit (the “Revolving Line of Credit”), (ii) a $180.0 million term loan (“U.S. Dollar Term Loan”) and (iii) a €120.0 million term loan (“Euro Term Loan”). In addition, the 2008 Credit Agreement provides for a possible increase in the Revolving Line of Credit of up to $200.0 million.
     The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the 2008 Credit Agreement are, at the Company’s option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin percentage or a Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin. The base rate is the greater of (i) the prime rate or (ii) one-half of 1% over the weighted average of rates on overnight federal funds as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Eurocurrency rate is LIBOR.
     The initial applicable margin percentage over LIBOR under the 2008 Credit Agreement was 2.5% with respect to the term loans and 2.1% with respect to loans under the Revolving Line of Credit, and the initial applicable margin percentage over the base rate was 1.25%. After the Company’s delivery of its financial statements and compliance certificate for each fiscal quarter, the applicable margin percentages are subject to adjustments based upon the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) (each as defined in the 2008 Credit Agreement) being within certain defined ranges. The applicable margin percentage over LIBOR was adjusted down during the third quarter of 2010. At September 30, 2010, the applicable margin percentage over LIBOR under the 2008 Credit Agreement was 2.0% with respect to the term loans and 1.65% with respect to loans under the Revolving Line of Credit, and the applicable margin percentage over the base rate was 0.75%.
     The obligations under the 2008 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The obligations under the 2008 Credit Agreement are also secured by a pledge of the capital stock of each of the Company’s existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, as well as 65% of the capital stock of each of the Company’s existing and future first-tier material foreign subsidiaries.
     The 2008 Credit Agreement includes customary covenants. Subject to certain exceptions, these covenants restrict or limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things: incur liens; engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends and redeem stock; make investments (including loans and advances); enter into transactions with affiliates, make capital expenditures and incur rental obligations. In addition, the 2008 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios on a quarterly basis, including a maximum total leverage ratio test and a minimum interest coverage ratio test. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with each of the financial ratio covenants under the 2008 Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

     The 2008 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including upon a change of control. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the 2008 Credit Agreement will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the 2008 Credit Agreement.
     The U.S. Dollar and Euro Term Loans have a final maturity of October 15, 2013. The U.S. Dollar Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments aggregating approximately $4.0 million, $17.5 million, $29.5 million and $40.3 million in fiscal years 2010 through 2013, respectively. The Euro Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments aggregating approximately €2.3 million, €9.9 million, €16.8 million and €23.0 million in fiscal years 2010 through 2013, respectively.
     The Revolving Line of Credit also matures on October 15, 2013. Loans under this facility may be denominated in USD or several foreign currencies and may be borrowed by the Company or two of its foreign subsidiaries as outlined in the 2008 Credit Agreement.
     The Company issued $125.0 million of 8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) in 2005. The Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 8% and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes issued under the Indenture among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (the “Indenture”) at varying redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may also repurchase Notes from time to time in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. Upon a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, the Company is required to offer to purchase all of the Notes then outstanding at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Indenture contains events of default and affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for such financings, including, among other things, limits on incurring additional debt and restricted payments.
     Management currently expects that the Company’s cash on hand and future cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund its working capital, capital expenditures, scheduled principal and interest payments on indebtedness, cash dividends on its common stock and any stock repurchases for at least the next twelve months. The Company continues to consider acquisition opportunities, but the size and timing of any future acquisitions and the related potential capital requirements cannot be predicted. In the event that suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon acceptable terms, the Company may obtain all or a portion of the necessary financing through the incurrence of additional long-term borrowings.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
     The following table and accompanying disclosures summarize the Company’s significant contractual obligations at September 30, 2010 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

(1)   Estimated interest payments for long-term debt were calculated as follows: for fixed-rate debt and term debt, interest was calculated based on applicable rates and payment dates; for variable-rate debt and/or non-term debt, interest rates and payment dates were estimated based on management’s determination of the most likely scenarios for each relevant debt instrument.
 
(2)   Purchase obligations consist primarily of agreements to purchase inventory or services made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements. The purchase obligation amounts do not represent the entire anticipated purchases in the future, but represent only those items for which the Company is contractually obligated as of September 30, 2010. For this reason, these amounts will not provide a complete and reliable indicator of the Company’s expected future cash outflows.
     The above table does not include the Company’s total pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities and net deferred income tax liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 because such liabilities, due to their nature, do not represent expected liquidity needs. There have not been material changes to such liabilities or the Company’s minimum pension funding obligations other than as disclosed in Note 6 “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” and Note 12 “Income Taxes” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Also please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
     In the normal course of business, the Company or its subsidiaries may sometimes be required to provide surety bonds, standby letters of credit or similar instruments to guarantee its performance of contractual or legal obligations. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had $71.6 million in such instruments outstanding and had pledged $3.5 million of cash to the issuing financial institutions as collateral for such instruments.
Contingencies

New Accounting Standards
     Refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a description of new accounting pronouncements, including the expected impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Management has evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed financial statements and related notes and believes those policies to be reasonable and appropriate. Certain of these accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on historical experience, trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The most significant areas involving management judgments and estimates may be found in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 26, 2010, in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis and in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting polices during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

The inclusion of any statement in this report does not constitute an admission by the Company or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     The Company is exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of business arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of operating and financing activities. The Company selectively uses derivatives, including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, to manage the risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not purchase or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign

46


Table of Contents

currency exchange rates can be volatile, and the Company’s risk management activities do not totally eliminate these risks. Consequently, these fluctuations could have a significant effect on the Company’s financial results.
     Notional transaction amounts and fair values for the Company’s outstanding derivatives, by risk category and instrument type, as of September 30, 2010, are summarized in Note 11 “Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Commodity Price Risk
     The Company is a purchaser of certain commodities, principally aluminum. In addition, the Company is a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including cast iron, aluminum, copper, and steel. The Company generally buys these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process. The Company does not use commodity derivatives to hedge commodity prices.
     The Company has long-term contracts with some of its suppliers of key components. However, to the extent that commodity prices increase and the Company does not have firm pricing from its suppliers, or its suppliers are not able to honor such prices, the Company may experience margin declines to the extent it is not able to increase selling prices of its products.
Interest Rate Risk
     The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from its borrowings of $305.6 million at September 30, 2010. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of fixed and variable rate debt and, from time to time, uses pay-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt in order to adjust the relative proportions of fixed and variable rate debt. The interest rates on approximately 69% of the Company’s borrowings were effectively fixed as of September 30, 2010. If the relevant LIBOR-based interest rates for all of the Company’s borrowings had been 100 basis points higher than actual in the nine-month period of 2010, the Company’s interest expense would have increased by $0.8 million.
Exchange Rate Risk
     A substantial portion of the Company’s operations is conducted by its subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the USD. Almost all of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. The USD, EUR, GBP, and CNY are the principal currencies in which the Company and its subsidiaries transact.
     The Company is exposed to the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ net assets and earnings into USD. The Company partially offsets these exposures by having certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries act as the obligor on a portion of its borrowings and by denominating such borrowings, as well as a portion of the borrowings for which the Company is the obligor, in currencies other than the USD. Of the Company’s total net assets of $1,162.9 million at September 30, 2010, approximately $955.7 million was denominated in currencies other than the USD. Borrowings by the Company’s non-U.S.

47


Table of Contents

subsidiaries at September 30, 2010 totaled $18.3 million, and the Company’s consolidated borrowings denominated in currencies other than the USD totaled $89.2 million. Fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the value of non-USD borrowings that have been designated as hedges of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income.
     The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the risk that arises when they, from time to time, enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To mitigate this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries typically settle intercompany trading balances monthly. The Company also selectively uses forward currency contracts to manage this risk. At September 30, 2010, the notional amount of open forward currency contracts was $109.9 million and their aggregate fair value was a liability of $4.6 million.
     To illustrate the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s financial results, the Company’s operating income for the nine-month period of 2010 would have decreased by approximately $10.6 million if the USD had been 10 percent more valuable than actual relative to other currencies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
     The Company’s management carried out an evaluation (as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

     In addition, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation, as required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
