PART I
ITEM 1.
|
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
|
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial
statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Gorman-Rupp Company (the Company or Gorman-Rupp) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain amounts for 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation. Operating results for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, from which related information herein has been derived.
NOTE B - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The
Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842),
which requires lessees to
recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with a term of more than one year. Accounting by lessors will remain similar to existing generally accepted accounting principles. The
guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,
Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330 ),
which revises the
measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or market. Currently, market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximate normal profit margin. In accordance with ASU 2015-11, an entity will measure
inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendment does not apply to
inventory that is measured using last-in, first out (LIFO). The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company currently does
not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),
which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
years, beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
NOTE C - INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the
lower of cost or market. The costs for approximately 71% of inventories at September 30, 2016 and 73% of inventories at December 31, 2015 are determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, with the remainder determined using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method applied on a consistent basis. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Interim LIFO calculations are based on
managements estimate of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

NOTE E - PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (Plan) covering certain domestic employees. Benefits are based on each covered employees
years of service and compensation. The Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable U.S. regulations. The Plan was closed to new participants effective January 1, 2008. Employees hired after that date, in eligible
locations, are eligible to participate in an enhanced 401(k) plan instead of the defined benefit pension plan. Employees hired prior to January 1, 2008 continue to accrue benefits under the Plan.
Additionally, the Company sponsors defined contribution pension plans made available to all domestic and Canadian employees. The Company funds the cost of
these benefits as incurred.

Executive Overview
The Gorman-Rupp Company is a leading
designer, manufacturer and international marketer of pumps and pump systems for use in diverse water, wastewater, construction, dewatering, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire protection, heating, ventilating and air
conditioning (HVAC), military and other liquid-handling applications. The Company attributes its success to long-term product quality, applications and performance combined with timely delivery and service, and continually develops initiatives to
improve performance in these key areas.
Gorman-Rupp actively pursues growth opportunities through organic growth, international business expansion and
acquisitions.
We continually invest in training for our employees, in new product development and in modern manufacturing equipment, technology and
facilities all designed to increase production efficiency and capacity and drive growth by delivering innovative solutions to our customers. We believe that the diversity of our markets is a major contributor to the generally stable financial growth
we have produced over the past 80 plus years.
The Company places a strong emphasis on cash flow generation and having excellent liquidity and financial
flexibility. This focus has afforded us the continuing ability to reinvest our cash resources and preserve a strong balance sheet to position us for future acquisition and product development opportunities. The Company had no bank debt as of
September 30, 2016.
Net sales during the third quarter were $91.3 million compared to $104.2 million during the third quarter of 2015, a decrease of
12.4% or $12.9 million. Excluding sales from the New Orleans Permanent Canal Closures & Pumps (PCCP) project of $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $9.8 million for the same period in 2015, net sales during the quarter
decreased 5.0%. Domestic sales decreased 19.3% or $13.9 million while international sales increased 3.3% or $1.0 million compared to the same period in 2015. Gross profit was $22.7 million for the third quarter of 2016, resulting in gross margin of
24.8%, compared to gross profit of $23.3 million and gross margin of 22.4% for the same period in 2015. The quarters gross profit margin increase was due principally to favorable sales mix changes and a non-cash pension settlement charge of
120 basis points in the third quarter of 2015 which did not recur in the same period this year, partially offset by lower leverage due to sales volume decreases. Operating income was $9.9 million, resulting in operating margin of 10.8% for the third
quarter of 2016, compared to operating income of $8.9 million and operating margin of 8.6% for the same period in 2015. The operating margin improvement was largely driven by a non-cash pension settlement charge totaling 180 basis points in third
quarter of 2015 which did not recur in the same period this year and a gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment in the third quarter of 2016 of 110 basis points, offset by lower operating leverage due to sales volume decreases. Net income
was $6.9 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $5.9 million in the third quarter of 2015 and earnings per share were $0.27 and $0.22 for the respective periods. Gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment increased the third
quarter of 2016 earnings by $0.03 per share. Conversely, the non-cash pension settlement charge in the third quarter of 2015 reduced earnings by $0.05 per share.
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $287.9 million compared to $307.4 million during the same period in 2015, a decrease of 6.3%
or $19.5 million. Excluding sales from the PCCP project of $9.5 million in the first nine months of 2016 and $30.3 million in the first nine months of 2015, net sales for the first nine months increased 0.5%. Domestic sales decreased 8.1% or $16.7
million and international sales decreased 2.8% or $2.8 million. Of the total decrease in net sales in the first nine months of 2016, approximately $0.9 million was due to unfavorable foreign currency translation. Gross profit was $68.8 million for
the first nine months of 2016, resulting in gross margin of 23.9%, compared to gross profit of $71.4 million and gross margin of 23.2% for the same period in 2015. The gross profit margin increase was due principally to a non-cash pension settlement
charge of 80 basis points in the first nine months of 2015 which did not recur in the same period this year. Operating income was $28.6 million, resulting in operating margin of 9.9% for the first nine months of 2016, compared to operating income of
$29.4 million and operating margin of 9.6% for the same period in 2015. The operating margin improvement also was largely driven by a non-cash pension settlement charge totaling 110 basis points in the first nine months of 2015 which did not recur
in the same period this year and a gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment of 30 basis points in the first nine months of 2016, offset by lower operating leverage due to sales volume decreases. Net income was $19.8 million during the first
nine months of both 2016 and 2015 and earnings per share were $0.76 and $0.75 for the respective periods. Gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment increased the first nine months of 2016 earnings by $0.03 per share. Conversely, the non-cash
pension settlement charge reduced the first nine months of 2015 earnings by $0.09 per share.

The Companys backlog of orders was $102.8 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $138.8 million
at September 30, 2015 and $117.1 million at December 31, 2015. Excluding the PCCP project in 2015 and 2016, the backlog at September 30, 2016 was down 16.0% as compared to September 30, 2015. In addition to the impact of PCCP,
backlog has been impacted by lower orders in the petroleum and fire protection markets. Encouragingly, the municipal wastewater sector appears to be gaining momentum as incoming orders have increased as compared to the first nine months of 2015.
Approximately $1.2 million of orders related to the PCCP project remain in the September 30, 2016 backlog total and are expected to ship by the end of the fourth quarter of 2016.
On October 27, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.115 per share on the common stock of the Company,
payable December 9, 2016, to shareholders of record November 15, 2016. This will mark the 267th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by The Gorman-Rupp Company and the 44th consecutive year of increased dividends paid to its shareholders.
These consecutive years place Gorman-Rupp in the top 50 of all U.S. public companies with respect to number of consecutive years of increased dividend payments. The dividend yield at September 30, 2016 was 1.6%.
The Company currently expects to continue its exceptional history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future
dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Companys financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
Outlook
Domestic and foreign uncertainties, including
turmoil related to the production and price of oil, foreign currency translation impacts and low commodity prices, continued to make the first nine months of 2016 challenging. The fourth quarter of most years has been seasonally slower and the PCCP
project shipments are generally complete. As periods of economic and business volatility persist, the Company remains focused on operational efficiencies and will continue to manage expenses closely as we do not yet see stable sales growth occurring
in the near future. Our strong balance sheet provides us with the flexibility to continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities and new product development that we expect will help add value to our operations over the longer-term.
Generally we believe that the Company is well positioned to grow organically at a reasonably comparable sales pace and operating margin over the long term by
expanding our customer base, both domestically and globally, and through new product offerings. We expect that the increasing need for water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation within the United States, and similar needs internationally,
including in emerging economies, along with increasing demand for pumps and pump systems for industrial and agricultural applications, will provide continuing growth opportunities for Gorman-Rupp in the future.

Excluding sales from the New Orleans Permanent Canal Closures & Pumps (PCCP) project of $1.6 million in
the third quarter of 2016 and $9.8 million for the same period in 2015, net sales during the quarter decreased 5.0%. Domestic sales decreased 19.3% or $13.9 million while international sales increased 3.3% or $1.0 million compared to the same period
in 2015.
Sales in the third quarter of 2016 in our larger water markets decreased 8.9% or $6.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2015. Sales in
the municipal market decreased $5.1 million driven by reduced PCCP project sales noted above, offset in part by increased shipments attributable to other flood control projects and clean water applications. Sales in the agriculture market decreased
$1.8 million principally due to wet weather conditions in many locations domestically and lower farm income. However, sales in the construction market increased $2.0 million due primarily to sales to rental businesses as a result of flooding in
several areas domestically and a fleet purchase by a new customer. The remainder of the overall sales decrease was largely due to reduced shipments of repair parts.

Sales decreased 20.3% or $6.4 million in non-water markets during the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015. Sales in the industrial
market decreased $4.2 million and sales in the petroleum market decreased $1.4 million, both principally attributable to the continued slowdown in oil and gas production.

The improvement in gross margin in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015 was principally due to
lower cost of material of 290 basis points driven by sales mix changes and a favorable LIFO adjustment. In addition, pension expense was lower because of a non-cash pension settlement charge of 120 basis points in the third quarter of 2015 which did
not recur in the third quarter of 2016. Partially offsetting these favorable variances was lower leverage because of sales volume decreases.

The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of
2015 was due principally to loss of leverage due to lower sales volume, increased professional services fees of approximately 50 basis points and increased healthcare costs of approximately 40 basis points. Offsetting these increases was a gain on
the sale of property, plant and equipment in the third quarter of 2016 of 110 basis points. There was a pension settlement charge in the third quarter of 2015 of 60 basis points which did not recur in the third quarter of 2016.

The increase in net income in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015 was due primarily to a gain on the sale of property, plant and
equipment in 2016, a favorable LIFO adjustment in 2016 and a pension settlement charge in the third quarter of 2015 which did not recur in the third quarter of 2016. These favorable variances were offset by lower sales volume. The decrease in the
effective tax rate between the two periods was due primarily to a research and development tax credit being in effect in the third quarter of 2016 but not in the third quarter of 2015, changes in the estimated domestic production activities
deduction and the impact of more income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

Excluding sales from the PCCP project of $9.5 million in the first nine months of 2016 and $30.3 million in the first nine
months of 2015, net sales for the first nine months increased 0.5%. Domestic sales decreased 8.1% or $16.7 million and international sales decreased 2.8% or $2.8 million. Of the total decrease in net sales in the first nine months of 2016,
approximately $0.9 million was due to unfavorable foreign currency translation.
Sales in the first nine months of 2016 in our larger water markets
decreased 6.8% or $14.9 million compared to the first nine months of 2015. Sales in the municipal market decreased $8.8 million driven by reduced PCCP project sales noted above, offset in part by increased shipments attributable to other flood
control projects and clean water and wastewater applications. Sales decreased $3.1 million in the agriculture market principally due to wet weather conditions in many locations domestically and lower farm income, and sales in the fire protection
market decreased $2.2 million due to market softness domestically and in countries in the Middle East.
Sales decreased 5.3% or $4.6 million in non-water
markets during the first nine months of 2016 compared to the first nine months of 2015. Increased sales of $2.6 million in the OEM market related to power generation equipment and services were offset by a decrease of $7.1 million in the industrial
market largely attributable to the continued slowdown in oil and gas production.

The improvement in gross margin in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was driven by a non-cash
pension settlement charge in the first nine months of 2015 of 80 basis points which did not recur in the same period in 2016, and a favorable LIFO adjustment of 50 basis points in 2016. Partially offsetting these favorable variances was lower
leverage because of sales volume decreases.

The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in
2015 was due principally to loss of leverage due to lower sales volume and increased professional services fees of approximately 40 basis points related largely to costs incurred in connection with acquired businesses during the previous two years.
Offsetting these increases was a non-cash pension settlement charge of 30 basis points from the first nine months of 2015 which did not recur in the same period in 2016.

The increases in net income and earnings per share in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 were
due primarily to a gain on the sale of property, plant and equipment, a favorable LIFO adjustment and lower pension expense due to a pension settlement charge in the first nine months of 2015 which did not recur in the same period in 2016. These
favorable variances were offset by sales volume decreases from 2015 to 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate between the two periods was due primarily to a research and development tax credit being in effect in the first nine months of 2016

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $63.7 million and there was no outstanding bank debt at September 30, 2016. In
addition, the Company had $23.9 million available in bank lines of credit after deducting $7.1 million in outstanding letters of credit primarily related to customer orders. The Company has continuously been in compliance with its nominal
restrictive covenants, such as limits on additional borrowings and maintenance of certain operating and financial ratios, including at September 30, 2016.

Working capital increased $16.9 million from December 31, 2015 to a record $162.8 million at September 30, 2016. This increase was due principally to
higher cash balances partially offset by lower inventories and increased customer deposits.
The primary drivers of operating cash flows during the first
nine months of 2016 were operating income, reduced inventories and increased customer deposits partially offset by $8.0 million of contributions to the pension plan. During this same period in 2015, operating cash flows were primarily driven by cash
earnings during the period and a planned decrease in inventory levels.
During the first nine months of 2016, investing activities of $4.3 million
primarily consisted of capital expenditures for machinery and equipment, a new operations facility in Africa, and other building improvements totaling $5.6 million offset by proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $1.3 million.
Capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of 2016 are currently expected to be in the range of $1 to $3 million and are expected to be principally financed through internally generated funds. During the first nine months of 2015, cash used in
investing activities of $10.0 million primarily consisted of net capital expenditures of $6.6 million for machinery and equipment, a new operations facility in Ireland and other building improvements, and the acquisition of the Hydro companies for
$3.4 million.
Net cash used for financing activities for the first nine months of 2016 consisted of dividend payments of $8.2 million. Net cash used in
financing activities for the first nine months of 2015 consisted of dividend payments of $7.9 million, re-payment of $12.0 million in short-term debt and a privately-arranged market value purchase of Company shares in the amount of $4.6 million from
a Rupp family estate.
On October 27, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.115 per share on the
common stock of the Company, payable December 9, 2016, to shareholders of record November 15, 2016. The cash dividend represents a 9.5% increase over the dividend paid in the previous quarter. This will mark the 267th consecutive quarterly
dividend paid by The Gorman-Rupp Company and the 44th consecutive year of increased dividends paid to its shareholders.
The Company currently expects to
continue its distinguished history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our
assessment of the Companys financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and
in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting
policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may require
management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could
be reported using different assumptions and estimates.
