“We delivered strong third quarter results, including significant revenue and earnings growth, while building on the operating momentum of the last year,” said Scott Rowe, Flowserve’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our new organizational model is driving speed, accountability, and cost efficiency throughout the company. The combination of our improved operating performance and our positive market outlook gives us the confidence to increase our full year revenue and adjusted EPS guidance range for the third time this year.”

Rowe concluded, “Driven by our 3D strategy, Flowserve is well-positioned to capture accelerated growth from energy transition investments and decarbonization initiatives. Flowserve is also competitively differentiated to capitalize in our traditional markets by ensuring global energy security. Additionally, we expect both aftermarket and MRO opportunities will remain strong through 2024 and beyond. As a result of these combined dynamics, we continue to believe we are in the early stages of a multi-year upcycle. Our focus remains on profitably converting our near-record $2.8 billion backlog to deliver solid revenue and earnings growth over the coming years, while creating long-term value for our shareholders, associates and customers.”

Revised 2023 Guidance²

Flowserve is raising its Revenue and Adjusted EPS guidance metrics for 2023, as well as updating or re-affirming certain other financial metrics, as shown in the table below:

	Prior Target Range^7	Revised Target Range
Revenue Growth	Up 16.0% to 18.0%	Up 18% to 19%
Reported Earnings Per Share	$1.40 - $1.65	$1.40 - $1.50
Adjusted Earnings Per Share	$1.85 - $2.00	$1.95 - $2.05
Net Interest Expense	~$60 million	Re-affirmed
Adjusted Tax Rate	~20%	Re-affirmed
Capital Expenditures	$75 - $85 million	Re-affirmed

Flowserve’s 2023 Adjusted EPS target range excludes expected adjusted items including identified realignment charges of approximately $55 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, including the potential for additional realignment expense.

Third Quarter 2023 Results Conference Call

Flowserve will host its conference call with the financial community on Thursday, October 26^th 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.

^1See 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.

^2Adjusted 2023 EPS excludes identified realignment expenses, the impact from other specific discrete items (including terminated Velan acquisition) and below-the-line foreign currency effects and utilizes current FX rates and approximately 132 million fully diluted shares.

^3EPS impact calculated by tax effecting the $10.7 million expense at 25.6% effective tax rate and dividing by 132 million shares

^4Constant 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

^5Adjusted 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..

^6Basis point impact calculated as the $10.7 million non-cash charge in SG&A divided by total sales

^7Prior target range was provided as of August 1, 2023, and included revisions from Flowserve’s initial guidance range provided February 10, 2023 and its previously revised range on May 2, 2023

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; 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; 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; 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.

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.
