  • Significant operating income improvement with reported and adjusted operating income up 132% and 41%, respectively
  • Flowserve 2.0 transformation program continued to drive results, including a 250 basis point improvement in adjusted operating margin despite 4.1% revenue decrease
  • GAAP EPS increased over 22% and Adjusted EPS increased over 47%
  • Retired approximately $410 million of long-term Euro-denominated debt
  • Raised full-year 2021 Revenue and Adjusted EPS guidance, reaffirmed all other metrics

Flowserve Corporation (NYSE: FLS), a leading provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Highlights (all comparisons to the 2020 first quarter, unless otherwise noted)1

  • Reported Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $0.11 and Adjusted EPS2 of $0.28
    • Reported EPS includes after-tax adjusted items of $22.6 million, including realignment costs, below-the-line foreign exchange impacts and debt retirement costs
  • Total bookings were $945.0 million, down 3.3%, or 6.0% on a constant currency basis and up 14.5% on a sequential basis
    • Original equipment bookings were $487.7 million, or 52% of total bookings, up 2.7%, or down 0.1% on a constant currency basis and up 20.5% on a sequential basis
    • Aftermarket bookings were $457.3 million, or 48% of total bookings, down 8.9%, or 11.5% on a constant currency basis and up 8.8% on a sequential basis
  • Sales were $857.3 million, down 4.1%, or 7.0% on a constant currency basis
    • Original equipment sales were $406.9 million, down 9.9%, or 13.1% on a constant currency basis
    • Aftermarket sales were $450.4 million, up 1.9%, or down 0.9% on a constant currency basis
  • Reported gross and operating margins were 29.3% and 6.5%, respectively
    • Adjusted gross and operating margins 3 were 30.4% and 8.1%, respectively 
  • Backlog at March 31, 2021 was $1.9 billion, up 1.6% versus December 31, 2020

“Flowserve delivered a strong start to 2021, including a 47% increase in adjusted EPS year-over-year while generating 15 percent sequential bookings growth,” said Scott Rowe, Flowserve’s president and chief executive officer. “Our decisive cost actions in 2020, combined with other Flowserve 2.0 transformation activities, were key to our first quarter performance, as adjusted operating income increased over $20 million from last year.”

Rowe concluded, “Our first quarter results support our conviction that Flowserve is strongly positioned to benefit as the global economic recovery continues and as COVID subsides. The investment cycle in our core end markets is appearing to inflect as we see meaningful progress with vaccinations driving increased mobility around the world. We are increasingly confident that our focus on growth, product innovation and initiatives to support our customers’ energy transition and emission reduction efforts will position Flowserve well to return to earnings growth early in 2022, driving value for our shareholders and our customers.”

Revised 2021 Guidance4

Flowserve today revised certain of the full-year metrics of our 2021 target range. Previously announced metrics not shown below are reaffirmed as of today. The revised categories and the new range include:

 

 

Revised Target Range

Prior Target Range

Revenues

Down 3.0% to 5.0%

Down 4% to 7.0%

Adjusted Earnings Per Share

$1.40 - $1.60

$1.30 - $1.55

 

Consistent with the prior range, Flowserve’s 2021 Adjusted EPS target range excludes expected realignment charges of approximately $25 million, as well as the potential impact of below-the-line foreign currency effects and certain other discrete items. In a change to our approach for 2021, Flowserve 2.0 transformation-related expenses of approximately 5 cents per share will now be included in both our reported and adjusted EPS.

First Quarter 2021 Results Conference Call

Flowserve will host its conference call with the financial community on Tuesday, May 4th 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 under the “Investor Relations” section.

1 Prior period comparisons are impacted by certain accounting revisions. Reference Flowserve’s Form 8-K filed on November 5, 2020 and Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2021 for additional details.

2 See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures table for detailed reconciliation of reported results to adjusted measures.

3 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 reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures table for detailed reconciliation.

4 Adjusted 2021 EPS excludes realignment expenses, the impact from other specific discrete items and below-the-line foreign currency effects and utilizes year-end 2020 FX rates and approximately 131 million fully diluted shares.

_ FX impact is calculated by comparing the difference between the actual average FX rates of 2020 and the year-end 2020 spot rates both as applied to our 2021 expectations, divided by the number of shares expected for 2021.

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: the impact of the global outbreak of COVID-19 on our business and operations; 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 our strategic transformation and realignment initiatives, our business could be adversely affected; risks associated with cost overruns on fixed-fee projects and in taking customer orders for large complex custom engineered products; 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; 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, Russian 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; 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; our furnishing of products and services to nuclear power plant facilities and other critical processes; 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; our relative geographical profitability and its impact on our utilization of deferred tax assets, including foreign tax credits; the potential adverse impact of an impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets; our dependence upon first-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. Throughout our materials we refer to non-GAAP measures as “Adjusted.” 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.
