2005 Form 10-K Filed

Flowserve filed the 2005 Form 10-K annual report with the SEC. "Weare pleased to complete our 2005 financial statements, close the 2005audit, and file our Form 10-K as we continue to make good progresstoward becoming current with all of our SEC quarterly and annualfinancial report filings," said Flowserve President and ChiefExecutive officer Lewis M. Kling. "We continue to expect to file our2005 Form 10-Qs this summer, and file our first and second quarter2006 Form 10-Qs by the end of September to become current."

2005 Financial Results

Bookings, including discontinued operations, were a record $3.02billion, a 13 percent increase, excluding currency benefits ofapproximately $10 million. Year-end backlog, which excludesdiscontinued operations, was a record $994.1 million, a 27 percentincrease, excluding negative currency effects of approximately $67million. Sales, excluding discontinued operations, were $2.70 billion,a 7 percent increase, excluding currency benefits of approximately $8million.

Gross profit from continuing operations increased 14 percent to$861.8 million. Gross profit margin percentage improved 190 basispoints to 32.0 percent. These increases primarily reflect cost savingsresulting from the company's operational excellence and ongoingcontinuous improvement initiatives, improved operating leverage,improved pricing discipline, increased sales and a lower charge forobsolete and slow moving inventory (OSMI).

"We are extremely pleased by the marked year-over-yearimprovements in our continuing business operations as we gain tractionwith our operational excellence initiatives. These initiativescombined with strategic sourcing programs have helped us offset rawmaterial price increases," said CEO Kling. "We are well positioned tocontinue to take advantage of the robust market environment."

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were $671.7million, an increase of 12 percent, excluding currency effects ofapproximately $3 million. The increase is mainly due to increases inprofessional fees related to the 2004 restatement, including increasesin audit fees and fees related to tax consulting, accounting andinternal audit assistance; an increase in employee-related expenses,primarily as a result of non-recurring costs associated withmanagement transition and severance expenses, including non-cash costsarising from modifications of stock options. These increases werepartially offset by decreases in legal expenses and costs related toSarbanes-Oxley compliance.

"Our 2005 results contain a significant amount of costs associatedwith the 2004 restatement and management transition. Now that theseare behind us, and as we bring in-house more of our complianceefforts, we expect to see a meaningful decline in the amount of theseprofessional fees over future periods," said Chief Financial OfficerMark A. Blinn. "However, some related costs will be included in ourfinancial results for 2006. We anticipate that 2007 will be morerepresentative of our true run rate for such expenses."

Operating income from continuing operations was $190.1 million, anincrease of 18 percent. This improvement is mainly due to the factorsdiscussed above that increased gross profit, partially offset by theincreases in SG&A. Currency had a nominal effect on 2005 results.Operating margin percentage improved to 7.1 percent, an increase of 70basis points.

Results for 2005 were impacted by a $37.1 million provision forincome taxes, resulting in an effective tax rate of 45 percentcompared to a 2004 effective tax rate of 61 percent. In 2005, theconsolidated effective tax rate was adversely impacted by high taxeson certain foreign earnings. The company expects its 2006 effectivetax rate will be lower.

Net income from continuing operations increased 78 percent to$46.2 million, or 82 cents a diluted share. Including losses of $34.4million related to discontinued operations, net income was $11.8million or 21 cents a diluted share. Diluted earnings per share werenegatively impacted by a higher average share count of approximately 2percent.

Discontinued operations were the General Services Group, which wassold in 2005, and the government and marine business unit, which wassold in 2004.

In addition to strategic uses of cash, including a greater thanrequired pension contribution of $45 million and $26 million of costsrelated to the $1 billion refinancing, the company repaid outstandingdebt and effectively reduced other financing obligations by about $78million, excluding currency effects, as previously disclosed. As aresult, the company's net debt-to-capital ratio improved to 40.6percent at year-end. "Our 2005 refinancing gives us considerableflexibility for employing our cash flow," said CFO Blinn. "We willcontinue to review a variety of options for using that cash flow infuture periods."
