Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, including the financial statements, accompanying notes and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Operating Segments
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company reorganized its five former operating divisions into two major product groups: the Industrial Products Group and the Engineered Products Group. The Industrial Products Group includes the former Compressor and Blower Divisions, plus the multistage centrifugal blower operations formerly managed in the Engineered Products Division. The Engineered Products Group is comprised of the former Engineered Products (excluding the multistage centrifugal blower operations), Thomas Products and Fluid Transfer Divisions. These changes were designed to streamline operations, improve organizational efficiencies and create greater focus on customer needs. As a result of these organizational changes, the Company realigned its segment reporting structure with the newly formed product groups effective with the reporting period ended March 31, 2009. The Industrial Products Group and Engineered Products Group constitute the Company's two reportable segments.
In the Industrial Products Group, the Company designs, manufactures, markets and services the following products and related aftermarket parts for industrial and commercial applications: rotary screw, reciprocating, and sliding vane air compressors; and positive displacement, centrifugal and side channel blowers; primarily serving general industrial and OEM applications. This segment also designs, manufactures, markets and services complementary ancillary products. Stationary air compressors are used in manufacturing, process applications and materials handling, and to power air tools and equipment. Blowers are used primarily in pneumatic conveying, wastewater aeration, numerous applications in industrial manufacturing and engineered vacuum systems. The markets served are primarily in Europe, the U.S. and Asia.
In the Engineered Products Group, the Company designs, manufactures, markets and services a diverse group of products for industrial and commercial applications, OEM applications, engineered systems and general industry. Products include pumps, liquid ring pumps, single-piece piston reciprocating, diaphragm vacuum pumps, water jetting systems and related aftermarket parts used in oil and natural gas well drilling, servicing and production and in industrial cleaning and maintenance. Liquid ring pumps are used in many different applications such as water removal, distilling, reacting, flare gas recovery, efficiency improvement, lifting and handling, and filtering, principally in the pulp and paper, industrial manufacturing, petrochemical and power industries. This segment also designs, manufactures, markets and services other fluid transfer 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


Table of Contents

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 17 "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. 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, 2009 Compared with the Quarter Ended September 30, 2008 Revenues
Revenues decreased $51.5 million, or 10.7%, to $428.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $480.3 million in the comparable three-month period of 2008. This decrease was attributable to lower volume in both segments ($143.0 million, or 30%, in total) and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($11.0 million, or 2%), partially offset by the acquisitions of CompAir and Best Aire, Inc. ($101.3 million, or 21%) and net price increases ($1.2 million).
Revenues in the Industrial Products Group increased $10.7 million, or 4%, to $258.5 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $247.8 million in the third quarter of 2008. This increase reflects the effect of acquisitions ($101.3 million, or 41%) and price increases (1%), largely offset by lower volume (36%) and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates (2%). The volume decline was attributable to the global economic slowdown and was realized across most product lines and geographic regions.
Revenues in the Engineered Products Group decreased $62.2 million, or 27%, to $170.3 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $232.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. This decrease reflects lower volume (24%), unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates (2%) and price reductions, net of price increases (1%). The decline in volume was realized across most product lines and geographic regions.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $15.2 million, or 10%, to $135.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $150.4 million in the comparable period of 2008, and as a percentage of revenues was 31.5% in 2009, compared to 31.3% in 2008. Acquisitions provided incremental gross profit of approximately $27.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. The decrease in gross profit primarily reflects the volume reductions discussed above coupled with unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by price increases. The


Table of Contents

improvement in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the benefits of operational improvements and cost reductions, largely offset by unfavorable product mix and the loss of volume leverage of fixed and semi-fixed costs as production levels declined. The unfavorable product mix was related to the addition of the CompAir product lines, which currently have a lower gross margin percentage than the Company average, and declining petroleum product volume, which provide a gross margin percentage above the Company average. Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased $9.6 million to $89.9 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $80.3 million in the third quarter of 2008. This increase reflects the effect of acquisitions ($21.7 million), partially offset by the benefits of cost reductions, including lower compensation and benefit expenses and the effect of acquisition integration and other restructuring initiatives ($9.3 million), and the favorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($2.8 million). As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses increased to 21.0% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 16.7% in the third quarter of 2008 primarily as a result of the reduced leverage resulting from lower revenues. Other Operating Expense, Net
Other operating expense, net, was $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. Other operating expense, net, in the third quarter of 2009 included restructuring charges of $12.6 million and foreign currency gains of $1.6 million. Other operating expense, net, in the third quarter of 2008 included (i) losses totaling $8.8 million on mark-to-market adjustments for cash transactions and foreign currency forward contracts entered into in order to limit the impact of changes in the USD to GBP exchange rate on the amount of USD-denominated borrowing capacity that remained available on the Company's revolving credit facility following the completion of the CompAir acquisition, (ii) other foreign currency losses of $1.6 million, (iii) restructuring charges of $2.4 million and (iv) the write-off of deferred costs totaling $2.3 million associated with unconsummated acquisitions.
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 as further described below under the discussion of results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.
Operating Income
Operating income of $31.9 million in the third quarter of 2009 compares to $55.5 million in the third quarter of 2008. These results reflect the gross profit, selling and administrative expense, other operating expense, net, and impairment charge factors discussed above. Operating income in the third quarter of 2009 reflects the impairment charge of $2.5 million and charges totaling $13.3 million associated with profit improvement initiatives (consisting primarily of employee termination costs) and other non-recurring items. Operating income in the third quarter of 2008 reflects charges totaling $14.7 million for profit improvement initiatives, mark-to-market currency adjustments and other non-recurring items.


Table of Contents

The Industrial Products Group generated segment operating income and segment operating margin of $7.3 million and 2.8%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $18.2 million and 7.3%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2008 (see Note 17 "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 income
(loss) before income taxes). This decline in year-over-year performance was due primarily to lower revenue volume and unfavorable product mix, partially offset by the benefits of operational improvements and cost reductions. Results in the third quarter of 2009 were negatively impacted by charges totaling $10.1 million in connection with impairment charges, profit improvement initiatives and other non-recurring items. Results in the third quarter of 2008 were negatively impacted by charges totaling $11.9 million in connection with profit improvement initiatives, other non-recurring items and the mark-to-market currency adjustments discussed above. The Engineered Products Group generated segment operating income and segment operating margin of $24.6 million and 14.4%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $37.3 million and 16.0%, respectively, in the same period of 2008 (see Note 17 "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 income
(loss) before income taxes). This decline in year-over-year performance was due primarily to lower revenue and the resulting loss of volume leverage of fixed and semi-fixed costs as production levels declined and the unfavorable product mix discussed above, partially offset by the benefits of operational improvements and cost reductions. Results in the third quarters of 2009 and 2008 were negatively impacted by charges totaling $5.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in connection with profit improvement initiatives and other non-recurring items. Interest Expense
Interest expense of $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2009 increased $3.3 million from $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2008, due primarily to higher average borrowings in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the prior year period as a result of the CompAir acquisition. The weighted average interest rate, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, was 6.2% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 6.1% in the third quarter of 2008. Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes and effective tax rate were $7.1 million and 26.7%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $17.2 million and 33.2%, respectively, in third quarter of 2008. The year-over-year reduction in the effective rate primarily reflects incremental taxes of approximately $2.7 million associated with cash repatriation that were recorded in the third quarter of 2008.
Net Income (Loss)
Consolidated net income of $19.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.37 in the third quarter of 2009 compares with net income and diluted earnings per share of $34.6 million and $0.65, respectively, in the third quarter of 2008. The decline in net income and diluted earnings per share was the net result of the factors


Table of Contents

affecting operating income, interest expense and the provision for income taxes discussed above. In the third quarter of 2009, charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other non-recurring items ($10.1 million, after tax) and impairment charges ($2.5 million, after tax) reduced net income and diluted earnings per share by approximately $12.6 million and $0.24, respectively. In the third quarter of 2008, mark-to-market currency adjustments ($5.9 million, after tax), charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other non-recurring items ($3.9 million, after tax) and incremental income taxes associated with cash repatriation ($2.7 million) reduced net income and diluted earnings per share by approximately $12.5 million and $0.23, respectively.
Performance during the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 Compared with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Revenues
Revenues decreased $166.7 million, or 11.2%, to $1,327.4 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to $1,494.1 million in the nine-month period of 2008. This decrease was attributable to lower volume in both segments ($407.0 million, or 27%, in total) coupled with unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($71.2 million, or 5%), partially offset by the acquisitions of CompAir and Best Aire, Inc. ($288.6 million, or 19%) and net price increases ($22.9 million, or 2%).
Revenues in the Industrial Products Group decreased $0.5 million to $762.7 million in the nine-month period of 2009, compared to $763.2 million in the nine-month period of 2008. This decrease reflects lower volume (35%) and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates (5%), partially offset by the effect of acquisitions ($288.6 million, or 38%) and price increases (2%). The volume decline was attributable to the global economic slowdown and was realized across most product lines and geographic regions.
Revenues in the Engineered Products Group decreased $166.2 million, or 23%, to $564.7 million in the nine-month period of 2009, compared to $730.9 million in the nine-month period of 2008. This decrease reflects lower volume (20%) and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates (4%), partially offset by price increases, net of price reductions (1%). The decline in volume was realized across most product lines and geographic regions. Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased $73.3 million, or 15%, to $406.3 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to $479.6 million in the nine-month period of 2008, and as a percentage of revenues was 30.6% in 2009, compared to 32.1% in 2008. Prior year acquisitions provided incremental gross profit of approximately $72.0 million in the nine-month period of 2009. The decrease in gross profit primarily reflects the volume reductions discussed above and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by price increases. The decline in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to unfavorable product mix and the loss of volume leverage of fixed and semi-fixed costs as production levels declined, partially offset by the benefits of operational improvements and cost reductions. The unfavorable product mix was related to the addition of the CompAir product lines, which currently have a lower gross margin percentage than the Company average, and less petroleum products volume, which provide a gross margin percentage above the Company average.

Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased $14.4 million to $271.7 million in the nine-month period of 2009, compared to $257.3 million in the nine-month period of 2008. This increase reflects approximately $66.1 million of incremental expense attributable to acquisitions, mostly offset by the benefits of cost reductions, including lower compensation and benefit expenses and the effect of acquisition integration and other restructuring initiatives ($34.9 million), and the favorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($16.8 million). As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses increased to 20.5% in the nine-month period of 2009 compared to 17.2% in the nine-month period 2008 due to the reduced leverage resulting from lower revenues and the acquisition of CompAir, which had higher selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues than the rest of the Company during the relevant period.
Other Operating Expense, Net
Other operating expense, net, was $40.7 million in the nine-month period of 2009 compared to $17.3 million in the nine-month period of 2008. Other operating expense, net, in the nine-month period of 2009 consisted primarily of restructuring charges of $40.2 million. Other operating expense, net, in the nine-month period of 2008 included (i) losses totaling $8.8 million on mark-to-market adjustments for cash transactions and foreign currency forward contracts entered into in order to limit the impact of changes in the USD to GBP exchange rate on the amount of USD-denominated borrowing capacity that remained available on the Company's revolving credit facility following the completion of the CompAir acquisition, (ii) restructuring charges of $2.4 million, (iii) the write-off of deferred costs totaling $2.3 million associated with unconsummated acquisitions and (iv) other employee and certain retirement costs of $4.5 million.
Impairment Charges
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded impairment charges of $253.6 million to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill in the Industrial Products Group and $10.0 million primarily to reduce the carrying value of a trade name in the Industrial Products Group. See Note 5 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" in the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion of these impairment charges.
Operating Income (Loss)
The operating loss of $169.7 million in the nine-month period of 2009 compares to operating income of $205.0 million in the nine-month period of 2008. These results reflect the gross profit, selling and administrative expense, other operating expense, net, and impairment charges discussed above. The operating loss in the nine-month period of 2009 reflects the net goodwill and trade name impairment charges totaling $263.6 million and charges totaling $41.3 million associated with profit improvement initiatives and other non-recurring items. Operating income in the nine-month period of 2008 reflects charges totaling $18.6 million for profit improvement initiatives, mark-to-market currency adjustments and other non-recurring items.


Table of Contents

The Industrial Products Group generated a segment operating loss of $261.8 million and segment operating margin of negative 34.3% in the nine-month period of 2009 compared to segment operating income of $72.5 million and segment operating margin of 9.5% in the nine-month period of 2008 (see Note 17 "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 income (loss) before income taxes). The decline in year-over-year performance was due primarily to the net impairment charges and lower gross profit as a result of the revenue decline and unfavorable product mix discussed above. Results in the nine-month period of 2009 were negatively impacted by charges totaling $25.7 million in connection with profit improvement initiatives and other non-recurring items. Results in the nine-month period of 2008 were negatively impacted by charges totaling $13.9 million in connection with profit improvement initiatives, other non-recurring items and the mark-to-market currency adjustments discussed above. These reductions to operating income were partially offset by the benefits of operational improvements and cost reductions.
The Engineered Products Group generated segment operating income of $92.0 million and segment operating margin of 16.3% in the nine-month period of 2009, compared to $132.5 million and 18.1%, respectively, in the same period of 2008 (see Note 17 "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 income
(loss) before income taxes). The decline in segment operating income and segment operating margin was due primarily to lower revenue and the resulting loss of volume leverage of fixed and semi-fixed costs as production levels declined and the unfavorable product mix discussed above, partially offset by the benefits of operational improvements and cost reductions. Results in the nine-month periods of 2009 and 2008 were negatively impacted by charges totaling $15.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in connection with profit improvement initiatives and other non-recurring items. Interest Expense
Interest expense of $21.4 million in the nine-month period of 2009 increased $6.9 million from $14.5 million in the comparable period of 2008. This increase was attributable to higher average borrowings in 2009 as a result of the CompAir acquisition, partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate as a result of declines in the floating-rate indices of the Company's borrowings. The weighted average interest rate, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, declined to 5.8% in the nine-month period of 2009 compared to 7.0% in the nine-month period of 2008, due primarily to a decline in the USD LIBOR (on which, in part, the interest rate on borrowings under the Company's 2008 Credit Agreement are based).
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $14.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to $56.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. The provision in the nine-month period of 2009 includes 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. The provision in the nine-month period of 2009 also reflects 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


Table of Contents

offsetting deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets were established for the portion of goodwill which was amortizable for tax purposes. 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 that goodwill was established and a corresponding tax benefit did not arise upon impairment of that portion of goodwill. Finally, the provision in the nine-month period of 2009 includes 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. The provision in the nine-month period of 2008 includes incremental taxes of approximately $2.7 million associated with cash repatriation. Net Income (Loss)
The consolidated net loss of $202.4 million and diluted loss per share of $3.90 in the nine-month period of 2009 compares with net income and diluted earnings per share of $135.1 million and $2.52, respectively, recorded in the nine-month period of 2008. In the nine-month period of 2009, impairment charges and associated reversal of deferred tax liabilities ($252.0 million, after tax), write-off of deferred tax assets ($8.6 million), charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other non-recurring items ($29.6 million, after tax), partially offset by the reversal of the income tax reserve and related interest ($3.6 million), resulted in a net reduction in net income and diluted earnings per share of approximately $286.6 million and $5.52, respectively. In the nine-month period of 2008, charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other non-recurring items ($6.7 million, after tax), mark-to-market currency adjustments ($5.9 million, after tax), and incremental income taxes associated with cash repatriation ($2.7 million) reduced net income and diluted earnings per share by approximately $15.3 million and $0.28, respectively.

Outlook
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 ("GDP") around the world. During 2008, total industrial capacity utilization rates in the U.S., as published by the Federal Reserve Board, declined below 80% and continued to decline through the first half of 2009 to 68%, the lowest level reported since the data series began in 1967. Near the end of the third quarter of 2009, total industrial capacity utilization rates improved slightly to just over 70%, which the Company believes indicates a slightly more positive environment for aftermarket services for industrial equipment, but not sufficient to warrant capital investments by manufacturing companies. The rapid decline in industrial production in the U.S. and Europe has . . .
