“I am incredibly pleased with our progress and the results that we delivered in 2023, as evidenced by our significant year-over-year growth in revenue, adjusted earnings, and cash flow,” said Scott Rowe, Flowserve’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The organizational design and operational discipline that we implemented last year delivered as expected and positions the company extremely well for 2024. Our strong performance in 2023 is a testament to the hard work of our associates who continue to execute at a high-level and position Flowserve for long term success.”

Rowe concluded, “Flowserve’s 3D strategy is the catalyst for accelerated growth and positions us to capture the increased spending levels on energy security and decarbonization investments. Additionally, we expect both aftermarket and MRO opportunities to remain at elevated levels in 2024 and beyond. In 2024, we intend to increase the conversion percentage of our strong $2.7 billion backlog, continue to deliver outsized growth, and expand operating margins through improved operational excellence and enhanced product management. As we build on the momentum established last year, we are confident in Flowserve’s future and believe that executing on our objectives will create long-term value for our customers, associates, and shareholders.”

2024 Guidance³

Flowserve today also initiated Reported and Adjusted EPS guidance for 2024, as well as certain other financial metrics, as shown in the table below.


		2024 Target Range
Revenue Growth		Up 4.0% to 6.0%
Reported Earnings Per Share		$2.25 to $2.45
Adjusted Earnings Per Share		$2.40 to $2.60
Net Interest Expense		$60 to $65 million
Adjusted Tax Rate		~20%
Capital Expenditures		$75 to $85 million

Flowserve’s 2024 Adjusted EPS target range excludes expected adjusted items including realignment charges of approximately $30 million, as well as the potential impact of below-the-line foreign currency effects and certain other discrete items which may arise during the course of the year.

Amy Schwetz, Flowserve’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer said, “We believe our 2024 guidance range has Flowserve well-positioned on its trajectory towards the long-term financial targets unveiled at our 2023 analyst day. We remain confident in our ability to drive further Adjusted margin improvement and Adjusted EPS growth as we pursue a disciplined capital allocation approach to deliver long-term shareholder value creation.”

Buyback Authorization Replenished to $300 Million and Quarterly Cash Dividend Increased

Flowserve’s Board of Directors authorized a 5% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.21 per share on the company’s outstanding shares of common stock and replenished the total share repurchase authorization under the current share repurchase program to $300 million, inclusive of approximately $96 million of capacity remaining.

The dividend is payable on April 12, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 28, 2024. While Flowserve currently intends to pay regular quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, any future dividends, at this $0.21 per share rate or otherwise, will be reviewed individually and declared by the Board at its discretion.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results Conference Call

Flowserve will host its conference call with the financial community on Wednesday, February 21^st at 11:00 AM Eastern. Scott Rowe, President and Chief Executive Officer, as well as other members of the management team will be presenting. The call can be accessed by shareholders and other interested parties at www.flowserve.com/investors.

See Consolidated Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Financial Measure (Unaudited) and Segment Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Financial Measure (Unaudited) tables for a detailed reconciliation of reported results to adjusted measures.

²	Adjusted 2023 EPS excludes identified realignment expenses, the impact from other specific discrete items and below-the-line foreign currency effects and utilizes the then-applicable FX rates and approximately 132 million fully diluted shares.

³	Adjusted 2024 EPS excludes realignment expenses as well as the impact of below-the-line foreign currency effects and certain other discrete items which may arise during the year and utilizes year-end 2023 FX rates and approximately 132 million fully diluted shares.

⁴	Constant currency is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have calculated constant currency amounts and the associated currency effects on operations by translating current year results on a monthly basis at prior year exchange rates for the same periods.

⁵

Adjusted gross and operating margins are calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income, respectively, by revenues. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income are derived by excluding the adjusted items. See Consolidated Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Financial Measure (Unaudited) and Segment Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to the Most Directly Comparable GAAP Financial Measure (Unaudited) tables for a detailed reconciliation.

Safe Harbor Statement: This news release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Words or phrases such as, “may,” “should,” “expects,” “could,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “predicts” or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which include, without limitation, earnings forecasts, statements relating to our business strategy and statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies and anticipated developments concerning our industry, business, operations and financial performance and condition.

The forward-looking statements included in this news release are based on our current expectations, projections, estimates and assumptions. These statements are only predictions, not guarantees. Such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from what is forecast in such forward-looking statements, and include, without limitation, the following: economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations, including military actions, trade embargoes, epidemics or pandemics or changes to tariffs or trade agreements that could affect customer markets, particularly North African, Latin American, Asian and Middle Eastern markets and global oil and gas producers, and non-compliance with U.S. export/re-export control, foreign corrupt practice laws, economic sanctions and import laws and regulations; any continued volatile regional and global economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations; global supply chain disruptions and the current inflationary environment could adversely affect the efficiency of our manufacturing and increase the cost of providing our products to customers; a portion of our bookings may not lead to completed sales, and our ability to convert bookings into revenues at acceptable profit margins; changes in global economic conditions and the potential for unexpected cancellations or delays of customer orders in our reported backlog; our dependence on our customers’ ability to make required capital investment and maintenance expenditures; if we are not able to successfully execute and realize the expected financial benefits from any restructuring and realignment initiatives, our business could be adversely affected; the substantial dependence of our sales on the success of the oil and gas, chemical, power generation and water management industries; the adverse impact of

volatile raw materials prices on our products and operating margins; increased aging and slower collection of receivables, particularly in Latin America and other emerging markets; our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, including in hyperinflationary countries such as Venezuela and Argentina; potential adverse consequences resulting from litigation to which we are a party, such as litigation involving asbestos-containing material claims; expectations regarding acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses; the potential adverse impact of an impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets; our dependence upon third-party suppliers whose failure to perform timely could adversely affect our business operations; the highly competitive nature of the markets in which we operate; environmental compliance costs and liabilities; potential work stoppages and other labor matters; access to public and private sources of debt financing; our inability to protect our intellectual property in the U.S., as well as in foreign countries; obligations under our defined benefit pension plans; our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud; the recording of increased deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future or the impact of tax law changes on such deferred tax assets could affect our operating results; our information technology infrastructure could be subject to service interruptions, data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, which could disrupt our business operations and result in the loss of critical and confidential information; ineffective internal controls could impact the accuracy and timely reporting of our business and financial results; and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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

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