NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts and amounts described in millions)
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gardner Denver, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (referred to herein as “Gardner Denver” or the “Company”). In consolidation, all significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
     The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2008 has been prepared from the books and records of the Company without audit. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements, have been included. The Company has evaluated events that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2009, through the financial statement issue date of November 6, 2009.
     The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the complete consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Gardner Denver’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
     The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
     Other than as specifically indicated in these “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has not materially changed its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
     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. Segment financial information presented for prior years in these “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and under Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, has been recast to reflect this realignment. See Note 17 “Segment Information.”
New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
     In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” (“SFAS No. 168”). This statement modified the GAAP hierarchy by establishing only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and nonauthoritative. SFAS No. 168 also established the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification™” (the “Codification” or the “FASB ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. Effective July 1, 2009, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All accounting references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been updated and, accordingly, references to prior accounting standards have been replaced with FASB ASC references as appropriate.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued revised guidance for the accounting for business combinations. The revised guidance, which is now part of FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“FASB ASC 805”), requires the fair value measurement of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the acquisition date with limited exceptions. Previously, a cost allocation approach was used to allocate the cost of the acquisition based on the estimated fair value of the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The cost allocation approach treated acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs that the acquirer expected to incur as a liability on the acquisition date as part of the cost of the acquisition. Under the revised guidance, those costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations separately from the business combination. In April 2009, the FASB amended the guidance on the initial recognition, measurement and subsequent accounting for contingencies arising in business combinations. The revised guidance applies to business combinations for acquisitions occurring on or after January 1, 2009. The impact of the revised guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the nature, terms and size of acquisitions it consummates in the future. Also see Note 13 “Income Taxes” for a discussion of a valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of CompAir Holdings Ltd. (“CompAir”) in 2008.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance for the accounting for noncontrolling interests. The new guidance, which is now a part of FASB ASC 810, Consolidation, establishes accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. In addition, it clarifies that noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary are ownership interests in the consolidated entity that should be reported as a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. The provisions of this guidance were effective

for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
     In March 2008, the FASB issued new guidance on the disclosure of derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new guidance, which is now part of FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009. See Note 12 “Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements” for the Company’s disclosures about its derivative instruments and hedging activities.
     In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance related to the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. The new guidance, which is now part of FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments in all interim financial statements. The adoption of this guidance by the Company in the second quarter of 2009 did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
     Effective April 1, 2009, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance for subsequent events as codified in FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events. The new guidance incorporates the subsequent events guidance contained in the auditing standards literature into the authoritative accounting literature. It also requires entities to disclose the date through which they have evaluated subsequent events and whether that date corresponds with the release of their financial statements. The new guidance was effective for all interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of the guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, other than disclosure of the date through which it evaluated subsequent events.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
     In December 2008, the FASB issued new guidance regarding disclosures about plan assets of defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. This guidance, which is now part of FASB ASC 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits, is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements; however, its adoption will not have an impact on the determination of the Company’s financial results.
     In October 2009, the FASB issued Update No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2009-13”). It updates the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance currently included under FASB ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements. The revised guidance primarily provides two significant changes: (i) eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to be treated as a separate unit of accounting, and (ii) eliminates the residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In addition, the guidance expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. ASU 2009-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Business Combinations
     On October 20, 2008, the Company acquired CompAir, a leading global manufacturer of compressed air and gas solutions. The acquisition of CompAir allows the Company to further broaden its geographic presence, diversify its end market segments served, and provides opportunities to reduce operating costs and achieve sales and marketing efficiencies. CompAir’s products are complementary to the Industrial Products Group’s product portfolio. The Company acquired all outstanding shares and share equivalents of CompAir for a total purchase price of $378.5 million, which consisted of $329.9 million in shareholder consideration, $39.8 million of CompAir external debt retired at closing and $8.8 million of transaction costs and other liabilities settled at closing. As part of the transaction, the Company also assumed approximately $5.9 million in long-term debt. As of October 20, 2008, CompAir had $24.1 million in cash and equivalents. The net transaction value, including assumed debt (net of cash acquired) and direct acquisition costs, was approximately $360.3 million. There are no remaining material contingent payments or commitments related to this acquisition.
     The CompAir acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly, its results are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Under the purchase method, the purchase price is allocated based on the fair value of assets received and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.
     Under the purchase method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of CompAir were recorded at their estimated respective fair values as of October 20, 2008. The initial allocation of the purchase price was subsequently adjusted when certain preliminary valuation estimates were finalized. The following table summarizes the nature and amount of such adjustments recorded in 2009. The amounts presented in this table do not reflect the portion of the goodwill impairment charge recorded in 2009 that may be directly attributable to the CompAir acquisition. For purposes of the impairment testing performed in 2009, in accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“FASB ASC 350”), the net assets from the CompAir acquisition were included as a component of a reporting unit within the Industrial Products Group in which the impairment charge was recorded. Since goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, the amount directly attributable to the CompAir acquisition cannot be specifically identified. See also Note 5 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for a description of the impairment charge.

Note 3. Restructuring
     In 2008 and the nine-month period of 2009, the Company finalized and announced certain restructuring plans designed to address (i) rationalization of the Company’s manufacturing footprint, (ii) slowing global economic growth and the resulting deterioration in the Company’s end markets and (iii) integration of CompAir into its existing operations. These plans included the closure and consolidation of manufacturing facilities in Europe and the U.S., and various voluntary and involuntary employee termination and relocation programs. In accordance with FASB ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (“FASB ASC 420”), and FASB ASC 712, Compensation — Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits (“FASB ASC 712”), a charge totaling $11.1 million (included in “Other operating expense, net”) was recorded in 2008, of which $8.5 million was associated with the Industrial Products Group and $2.6 million was associated with the Engineered Products Group. An additional charge totaling $40.2 million was recorded in the nine-month period of 2009, of which $25.6 million was associated with the Industrial Products Group and $14.6 million was associated with the Engineered Products Group. Execution of these plans, including payment of employee severance benefits, is expected to be substantively completed during the first quarter of 2010.
     During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded charges totaling approximately $1.8 million in connection with the consolidation of certain U.S. operations, which it expects to be funded by a state grant. The anticipated amount of the grant was recorded as a reduction in the associated charge and the establishment of a current receivable. If the Company does not maintain certain employment and payroll levels specified in the grant over a ten-year period, it will be obligated to return a portion of the grant funds to the

state on a pro-rata basis. Any such amounts that may be returned to the state will be charged to operating income when identified. The Company currently expects to meet the required employment and payroll levels.
     In connection with the acquisition of CompAir, the Company has been implementing plans identified at or prior to the acquisition date to close and consolidate certain former CompAir functions and facilities, primarily in North America and Europe. These plans included various voluntary and involuntary employee termination and relocation programs affecting both salaried and hourly employees and exit costs associated with the sale, lease termination or sublease of certain manufacturing and administrative facilities. The terminations, relocations and facility exits are expected to be substantively completed during 2009. A liability of $8.9 million was included in the allocation of the CompAir purchase price for the estimated cost of these actions at October 20, 2008. This liability was increased by $2.3 million in the nine-month period of 2009 to reflect the finalization of certain of these plans.

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
     During the first quarter of 2009, the Company concluded that sufficient indicators existed to require it to perform an interim impairment test of the carrying values of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of March 31, 2009. The Company’s conclusion was based upon a combination of factors, including the continued significant decline in order rates for certain products, the uncertain outlook regarding when such order rates might return to levels and growth rates experienced in recent years, and the sustained decline in the price of the

11


Table of Contents

Company’s common stock resulting in the Company’s market capitalization being below the Company’s carrying value at March 31, 2009. Accordingly, the Company performed the first step of its interim goodwill impairment test for each of its reporting units and determined that the carrying value of one of its reporting units within the Industrial Products Group segment exceeded its fair value, indicating that a potential goodwill impairment existed. The Company recorded a preliminary non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $265.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2009 which represented the Company’s best estimate of the impairment at that time. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company finalized the valuation of the tangible and intangible assets and the allocation of fair value to the assets and liabilities of the impaired reporting unit, and recorded a reduction to the preliminary non-cash goodwill impairment change of $14.3 million to a total of $250.7 million.
     The Company completed its annual impairment test of the carrying values of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2009 and concluded that there had been no further impairment of goodwill. However, the Company identified and recorded a non-cash impairment charge related to its indefinite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of 2009 of $10.0 million, primarily associated with a trade name in the Industrial Products Group segment. The estimated fair value of this trade name is based on a royalty savings concept, which assumes the Company would be required to pay a royalty to a third party for use of the asset if the Company did not own the asset, and is largely dependent on the projected revenues for products directly associated with the trade name. The projected revenues and resulting projected cash flows for these products declined, resulting in the necessity to reduce the carrying value for this intangible. The trade name impairment charge is reflected as a decrease in the carrying value of other intangibles, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2009 and as an impairment charge in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.
     During the third quarter of 2009, the Company identified further adjustments to the allocation of the CompAir purchase price and recorded an additional non-cash impairment charge of $2.9 million. The Company also assessed whether there were any further indicators of impairment or triggering events that had occurred during the third quarter of 2009 which may require the performance of an interim impairment test. This assessment did not identify any such indicators or events. Adverse changes in economic or operating conditions in the future may result in additional future material impairment charges.
     In performing the annual and interim goodwill impairment tests, the Company determined the estimated fair value of each reporting unit utilizing an income approach model based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the reporting unit at an applicable discount rate. This approach makes use of unobservable factors such as projected revenues and a discount rate applied to the estimated cash flows. The determination of the discount rate was based on a cost of equity and debt model, which uses a risk-free rate, a stock-beta adjusted risk premium, a size premium, among others, and aims to be reflective of the assumptions made by market participants. Additionally, the aggregate estimated fair value of the reporting units was compared to the Company’s market capitalization. In considering the Company’s market capitalization, an estimated premium to reflect the fair value on a control basis was applied.
     In performing the annual and interim assessments of the carrying values of indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company compared the discounted estimates of future cash flow projections to the carrying values. Significant judgments inherent in this analysis included assumptions regarding appropriate revenue growth rates, discount rates and royalty rates.
     The Company reviews long-lived assets, including its intangible assets subject to amortization, which consist primarily of customer relationships and intellectual property for the Company, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability

of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment charge recognized is the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. As a result of the impairment indicators described above, during the first quarter of 2009, the Company tested its long-lived assets for impairment and determined that there was no impairment. There were no further impairment indicators during the second and third quarters of 2009.
     The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each business segment for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, and the year ended December 31, 2008, are presented in the table below. The adjustments to goodwill in 2009 are primarily related to the finalization of the valuation of certain CompAir intangible assets.

     In November 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to acquire up to 3.0 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, no shares were repurchased under this program. All common stock acquired is held as treasury stock and is available for general corporate purposes.
     The following table details the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 (shares in thousands):

  $ 0.37     $ 0.65     $ (3.90 )   $ 2.52  
 
                       
 
(1)   Share equivalents totaling 231, consisting of outstanding stock options and nonvested restricted stock, were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 because the net loss for the period caused all potentially dilutive shares to be anti-dilutive.
     For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, antidilutive equity-based awards to purchase 771 thousand and 20 thousand weighted-average shares of common stock were outstanding. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, antidilutive equity-based awards to purchase 792 thousand and 169 thousand weighted-average shares of common stock were outstanding. Antidilutive equity-based awards outstanding were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share.
Note 11. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
     The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of (i) unrealized net gains and losses on the translation of the assets and liabilities of its foreign operations; (ii) foreign currency gains and losses associated with the Company’s net investments in foreign operations and translation of intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, net of income taxes; (iii) unrecognized gains and losses on cash flow hedges (consisting of interest rate swaps), net of income taxes; and (iv) unamortized pension and other postretirement benefit prior service cost and actuarial gains or losses, net of income taxes.

Note 12. Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements
Hedging Activities
     The Company is exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of business arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of operating and financing activities. The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”), including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, to manage the risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not purchase or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates can be volatile, and the Company’s risk management activities do not totally eliminate these risks. Consequently, these fluctuations could have a significant effect on the Company’s financial results.
     Credit risk related to derivatives arises when amounts receivable from a counterparty exceed those payable. Because the notional amount of the derivative instruments only serves as a basis for calculating amounts receivable or payable, the risk of loss with any counterparty is limited to a fraction of the notional amount. The Company minimizes the credit risk related to derivatives by transacting only with multiple, high-quality counterparties that are major financial institutions with investment-grade credit ratings. The Company has not experienced any financial loss as a result of counterparty nonperformance in the past. The majority of the derivative contracts to which the Company is a party settle monthly or quarterly, or mature within one year. Because of these factors, the Company believes it has minimal credit risk related to derivative contracts at September 30, 2009.
     The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from its borrowings of $417.5 million at September 30, 2009. The Company manages its debt centrally, considering tax consequences and its overall financing strategies. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of fixed and variable rate debt and, from time to time, uses pay-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt in order to adjust the relative proportions.
     A substantial portion of the Company’s operations is conducted by its subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the USD. Almost all of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Other than the USD, the EUR, British pound sterling (“GBP”), and Chinese yuan (“CNY”) are the principal currencies in which the Company

20


Table of Contents

and its subsidiaries enter into transactions. The Company is exposed to the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, and earnings into USD. The Company partially offsets these exposures by having certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries act as the obligor on a portion of its borrowings and by denominating such borrowings, as well as a portion of the borrowings for which the Company is the obligor, in currencies other than the USD.
     The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the risk that arises when they, from time to time, enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To mitigate this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries typically settle intercompany trading balances monthly. The Company also selectively uses forward currency contracts to manage this risk. These contracts for the sale or purchase of European and other currencies generally mature within one year.
     In accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measures those instruments at fair value. If a derivative is designated as a fair value hedge and is effective, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the same period. If a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects income. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to market through earnings. All cash flows associated with derivatives are classified as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
     Fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the value of non-USD borrowings that have been designated as hedges of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income.
     The following table summarizes the notional amounts, fair values and classification of the Company’s outstanding derivatives by risk category and instrument type within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:
                                 
    September 30, 2009

(1)   Losses on derivatives reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) into income (effective portion) were included in the interest expense line on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
     During the second quarter of 2009, the Company entered into five pay-fixed/receive-variable interest rate swap contracts that effectively fix the LIBOR-based index used to determine the interest rates charged on a total of $75.0 million and 40.0 million of LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings. These contracts carry fixed rates ranging from 0.7% to 2.2% and have expiration dates ranging from 2010 to 2013. These swap agreements qualify as hedging instruments and have been designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted LIBOR-based interest payments. Based on LIBOR-based swap yield curves as of September 30, 2009, the Company expects to reclassify losses of $0.9 million out of AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months. The Company’s LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2009 were $132.0 million and 90.0 million.
     There were 35 foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2009 with notional amounts ranging from $0.1 million to $8.4 million. These contracts are used to hedge the change in fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities caused by changes in foreign currency exchange

Table of Contents

rates. The Company has not designated the forward contracts as hedging instruments because changes in the fair value of the contracts generally offset the changes in the fair value of a corresponding amount of the hedged items, both of which are included in the other operating expense, net, line on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded net losses of $1.0 million and $14.9 million, respectively, relating to foreign currency forward contracts outstanding during all or part of the nine-month period of 2009. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, net foreign currency gains reported in other operating expense, net, were $1.6 million and zero, respectively.
     As of September 30, 2009, the Company has designated a portion of its term loan denominated in EUR of approximately 19.2 million as a hedge of the Company’s net investment in European subsidiaries with EUR functional currencies. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of this debt due to changes in the USD to EUR exchange rate are recorded through other comprehensive income. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded losses of $0.8 million and $1.2 million, net of tax, through other comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2009, the net balance of such losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $4.5 million, net of tax.
Fair Value Measurements
     A financial instrument is defined as a cash equivalent, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that creates a contractual obligation or right to deliver or receive cash or another financial instrument from another party. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, deferred compensation obligations and debt instruments. The book values of these instruments, other than the Senior Subordinated Notes, are a reasonable estimate of their respective fair values.
     The Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding are carried at cost. Their estimated fair value was approximately $120.0 million as of September 30, 2009 based upon non-binding market quotations that were corroborated by observable market data (Level 2). The estimated fair value is not indicative of the amount that the Company would have to pay to redeem these notes since they are infrequently traded and are not callable at this value.
     Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“FASB ASC 820”), with respect to its financial assets and liabilities. FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under FASB ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under FASB ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

23


Table of Contents

     
Level 1
  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
 
Level 2
  Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
 
Level 3
  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
     The following table summarizes the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2009:

(5)   Based on the fair value of the investments in the deferred compensation plan.
     As discussed in Note 5 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 350, the Company recorded impairment charges associated with goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset of $253.6 million and $10.0 million, respectively, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges were calculated as the amount by which the carrying value of each asset exceeded its implied, in the case of goodwill, or estimated fair value. These fair values were determined using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.
Note 13. Income Taxes
     As of September 30, 2009, the total balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $5.4 million compared with $7.8 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in the balance primarily related to the favorable settlement of tax

audits in various foreign jurisdictions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2009 include $5.4 million of uncertain tax positions that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized, of which $2.4 million would be offset by a reduction of a corresponding deferred tax asset. The Company does not expect any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
     The Company’s accounting policy with respect to interest expense on underpayments of income tax and related penalties is to recognize such interest expense and penalties as part of the provision for income taxes. The Company’s income tax liabilities at September 30, 2009 include approximately $1.2 million of accrued interest and $0.3 million of penalties.
     The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the tax years 2005 to 2007 are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of the date of this report, the examination has not identified any material changes. The statutes of limitations for the U.S. state tax returns are open beginning with the 2005 tax year, except for two states for which the statutes have been extended, beginning with the 2003 tax year for one state and 2004 for the other state.
     The Company is subject to income tax in approximately 30 jurisdictions outside the U.S. The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction. The Company’s significant operations outside the U.S. are located in China, the United Kingdom and Germany. In Germany, generally, the tax years 2003 and beyond remain subject to examination with the statutes of limitations for the 2003 tax year expiring during 2009. In China and the United Kingdom, tax years prior to 2005 are closed. In addition, audits are being conducted in various countries. To date, no material adjustments have been proposed as a result of these audits. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, a tax audit at one of the German subsidiaries was announced for the 2003 through 2007 tax years. The audit is expected to begin in November.
     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 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. Additionally, 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.

Note 15. Contingencies
     The Company is a party to various legal proceedings, lawsuits and administrative actions, which are of an ordinary or routine nature. In addition, due to the bankruptcies of several asbestos manufacturers and other primary defendants, among other things, the Company has been named as a defendant in a number of asbestos personal injury lawsuits. The Company has also been named as a defendant in a number of silica personal injury lawsuits. The plaintiffs in these suits allege exposure to asbestos or silica from multiple sources and typically the Company is one of approximately 25 or more named defendants. In the Company’s experience to date, the substantial majority of the plaintiffs have not suffered an injury for which the Company bears responsibility.
     Predecessors to the Company sometimes manufactured, distributed and/or sold products allegedly at issue in the pending asbestos and silica litigation lawsuits (the “Products”). However, neither the Company nor its predecessors ever mined, manufactured, mixed, produced or distributed asbestos fiber or silica sand, the materials that allegedly caused the injury underlying the lawsuits. Moreover, the asbestos-containing components of the Products were enclosed within the subject Products.
     The Company has entered into a series of cost-sharing agreements with multiple insurance companies to secure coverage for asbestos and silica lawsuits. The Company also believes some of the potential liabilities regarding these lawsuits are covered by indemnity agreements with other parties. The Company’s uninsured settlement payments for past asbestos and silica lawsuits have not been material.
     The Company believes that the pending and future asbestos and silica lawsuits are not likely to, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, based on: the Company’s anticipated insurance and indemnification rights to address the risks of such matters; the limited potential asbestos exposure from the components described above; the Company’s experience that the

Table of Contents

vast majority of plaintiffs are not impaired with a disease attributable to alleged exposure to asbestos or silica from or relating to the Products or for which the Company otherwise bears responsibility; various potential defenses available to the Company with respect to such matters; and the Company’s prior disposition of comparable matters. However, due to inherent uncertainties of litigation and because future developments, including, without limitation, potential insolvencies of insurance companies or other defendants, could cause a different outcome, there can be no assurance that the resolution of pending or future lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
     The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to several sites designated for cleanup under federal “Superfund” or similar state laws that impose liability for cleanup of certain waste sites and for related natural resource damages. Persons potentially liable for such costs and damages generally include the site owner or operator and persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at those sites. Although these laws impose joint and several liability, in application, the PRPs typically allocate the investigation and cleanup costs based upon the volume of waste contributed by each PRP. Based on currently available information, the Company was only a small contributor to these waste sites, and the Company has, or is attempting to negotiate, de minimis settlements for their cleanup. The cleanup of the remaining sites is substantially complete and the Company’s future obligations entail a share of the sites’ ongoing operating and maintenance expense.
     The Company is also addressing three on-site cleanups for which it is the primary responsible party. Two of these cleanup sites are in the operation and maintenance stage and the third is in the implementation stage. The Company has also negotiated a settlement through a voluntary clean up program with other potentially responsible parties and the relevant governmental agencies on a fourth site. Based on currently available information, the Company does not anticipate that any of these sites will result in material additional costs beyond those already accrued.
     The Company has an accrued liability on its balance sheet to the extent costs are known or can be reasonably estimated for its remaining financial obligations for these matters. Based upon consideration of currently available information, the Company does not anticipate any material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws or regulations, or cleanup costs relating to the sites discussed above.
Note 16. Guarantor Subsidiaries
     The Company’s obligations under its 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Subordinated Notes are referred to as the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.” The guarantor condensed consolidating financial data below presents the statements of operations, balance sheets and statements of cash flows data (i) for Gardner Denver, Inc. (the “Parent Company”), the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (which is derived from Gardner Denver’s historical reported financial information); (ii) for the Parent Company alone (accounting for its Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on a cost basis under which the investments are recorded by each entity owning a portion of another entity at historical cost); (iii) for the Guarantor Subsidiaries alone; and (iv) for the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries alone.

Note 17. Segment Results
     Through December 31, 2008, the Company’s organizational structure consisted of five operating divisions: Compressor, Blower, Engineered Products, Thomas Products and Fluid Transfer. These divisions comprised two reportable segments: Compressor and Vacuum Products and Fluid Transfer Products. The Compressor, Blower, Engineered Products and Thomas Products divisions were aggregated into the Compressor and Vacuum Products segment.
     Effective January 1, 2009, the Company reorganized its five former operating divisions into two major product groups based primarily on the products and services offered to its customers: 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 have each been determined to be operating segments and reportable segments in accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“FASB ASC 280”).
     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 original equipment manufacturer (“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.

     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.” Primarily as a result of these charges, the identifiable assets of the Industrial Products Group were reduced to approximately $1,130.3 million at June 30, 2009 compared to approximately $1,428.1 million at December 31, 2008. The impairment charges recorded in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 did not have a material effect on the identifiable assets of the Engineered Products Group.

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

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.

     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

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.

     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

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 resulted in reduced levels of capacity utilization and reduced demand for capital equipment such as blowers and compressor packages, and for aftermarket services as existing equipment remains idle. Orders for products serving industrial end market segments remained weak in the nine-month period of 2009, especially in the U.S. and Europe.
     In the third quarter of 2009, orders in the Industrial Products Group increased $11.0 million, or 5%, to $242.6 million, compared to $231.6 million in the third quarter of 2008. This increase reflected the effect of acquisitions ($89.6 million, or 39%), largely offset by lower demand across most product lines and geographic regions as a result of the global economic downturn ($72.2 million, or 31%) and the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange

rates ($6.4 million, or 3%). Compared to the second quarter of 2009, orders in the third quarter of 2009 in the Industrial Products Group improved in all geographic regions, with the greatest recovery on a percentage basis occurring for OEM products and in Europe. The Company believes this quarter-over-quarter improvement was due primarily to the replenishment of customers’ inventories from unusually low levels rather than increases in end-user demand. Order backlog for the Industrial Products Group increased 4% to $211.0 million as of September 30, 2009, compared to $203.4 million as of September 30, 2008 due to the effect of acquisitions ($79.6 million, or 39%) and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($0.6 million), largely offset by reduced demand in most product lines and geographic regions ($72.6 million, or 35%). As a result of the Company’s expectation for on-going weak economic conditions, it anticipates demand for industrial products to remain relatively flat for the remainder of 2009. When demand begins to recover, the Company expects to initially see increased orders for shorter lead-time products that are more susceptible to swings in the economy, such as those that serve light industry and Class 8 trucks and OEM products for medical and environmental applications. At this point, the Company has not seen signs that demand is improving and is unsure whether it will remain stable.
     Orders in the Engineered Products Group decreased 40% to $170.2 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared to $281.4 million in the third quarter of 2008, due to lower demand ($107.2 million, or 38%) and the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($4.0 million, or 2%). Order backlog for the Engineered Products Group declined 39% to $237.0 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $387.3 million at September 30, 2008, as a result of lower demand ($154.3 million, or 40%), partially offset by the favorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($4.0 million, or 1%). Compared to the second quarter of 2009, orders in the Engineered Products Group improved slightly as a result of increased orders for petroleum products destined for international locations, increased demand for well servicing pumps due to reduced surplus inventory in the field and increased demand for OEM products. Orders for products in the Company’s Engineered Products Group have historically corresponded to demand for petrochemical products and been influenced by prices for oil and natural gas, and rig count, among other factors, which the Company cannot predict. Although the Company currently expects to ship several large orders for Engineered Products during the fourth quarter of 2009 as a result of a lower rig count in North America and reduced prices for natural gas, demand for petroleum products remains significantly less than the comparable period of 2008 and the Company is uncertain how long orders will remain at lower levels.
     Order backlog consists of orders believed to be firm for which a customer purchase order has been received or communicated. However, since orders may be rescheduled or canceled, backlog does not necessarily reflect future sales levels.
     The deterioration of worldwide economic conditions has limited the Company’s visibility into future order trends in many of its key end markets. However, based on its expectations for an on-going weak economic climate, the Company anticipates demand for industrial products to remain relatively flat for the remainder of 2009, and remains cautious in its outlook beyond 2009. The Company estimates that it may incur additional restructuring costs of approximately $5.0 million (consisting primarily of employee termination benefits) for further consolidation of manufacturing capacity and in-process initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2009. Actual restructuring costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2009 will depend on, among other things, the length and severity of the current economic downturn.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Working Capital
     During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, net working capital (defined as total current assets less total current liabilities) declined to $402.0 million from $460.2 million at December 31, 2008. Operating working capital (defined as accounts receivable plus inventories, less accounts payable and accrued liabilities) declined $39.9 million to $272.6 million from $312.5 million at December 31, 2008 due to reduced accounts receivable and inventory levels, partially offset by lower accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Inventory reductions generated $55.4 million in cash flows in the nine-month period of 2009. Inventory turns declined to 4.9 times in the third quarter of 2009 compared to 5.6 times in the third quarter of 2008, due primarily to the significant decline in cost of goods sold as a result of the reduced volume leverage and the effect of the CompAir acquisition which has historically had lower turns than the Gardner Denver average. These factors were partially offset by the inventory reduction achieved through manufacturing velocity improvements realized from the completion of certain lean manufacturing initiatives. Excluding the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, accounts receivable declined $54.8 million during the nine-month period of 2009 due primarily to lower revenue. Days sales in receivables increased to 74 at September 30, 2009 from 68 at December 31, 2008, due largely to the continued increase in the proportion of revenues generated outside the U.S., coupled with the effect of the CompAir acquisition, whose sales typically carry longer payment terms. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected reduced production levels, a reduction in customer advance payments and cash payments under the Company’s incentive compensation plans.
Cash Flows
     Cash provided by operating activities of $148.4 million in the nine-month period of 2009 decreased $56.1 million from $204.5 million in the same period of 2008. This decline was primarily due to lower earnings (excluding non-cash charges for the impairment of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains), partially offset by cash generated from operating working capital. Operating working capital generated cash of $41.9 million in the nine-month period of 2009 compared to $38.4 million in the nine-month period of 2008. Cash provided by accounts receivable of $54.8 million in the nine-month period of 2009 compares with $2.0 million in the nine-month period of 2008. In the nine-month period of 2009, collections of accounts receivable exceeded additions due to the lower sales levels. Cash provided by inventories of $55.4 million in the nine-month period of 2009 represents a $35.7 million improvement over $19.7 million in the comparable period of 2008. This improvement reflects increased manufacturing velocity realized from the completion of certain lean manufacturing initiatives and inventory reductions attributable to volume declines, partially offset by inventory increases to support large shipments scheduled in the fourth quarter by the Engineered Products Group. Cash outflows from accounts payable and accrued liabilities were $68.3 million in the nine-month period of 2009 compared to inflows of $16.8 million in the nine-month period of 2008. The year over year change primarily reflected reduced production levels, less customer advance payments in the nine-month period of 2009 than in the comparable period of 2008 and an expectation of lower payments under the Company’s incentive compensation plans for fiscal 2009 compared to 2008.

Table of Contents

     Net cash used in investing activities of $34.0 million and $33.1 million in the nine-month periods of 2009 and 2008, respectively, consisted primarily of capital expenditures on assets intended to increase operating efficiency and flexibility, support acquisition integration initiatives and bring new products to market. Capital expenditures in 2009 included the purchase of a facility leased by a subsidiary acquired in the CompAir acquisition. The Company currently expects capital expenditures to total approximately $50 to $55 million for the full year 2009. Capital expenditures related to environmental projects have not been significant in the past and are not expected to be significant in the foreseeable future.
     Net cash used in financing activities of $135.3 million in the nine-month period of 2009 compares with $78.8 million used in the nine-month period of 2008. Cash provided by operating activities was used for net repayments of short-term and long-term borrowings of $135.4 million in the nine-month period of 2009 and $15.1 million in the nine-month period of 2008. Lower debt repayments in the nine-month period of 2008 were primarily attributable to the Company’s repurchase of shares of its common stock totaling $81.7 million, including shares exchanged or surrendered in connection with its stock option plans of $0.5 million, and the accumulation of cash in anticipation of the completion of the CompAir acquisition.
Share Repurchase Program
     In November 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program to acquire up to 3.0 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. As of September 30, 2009, no shares under this program have been repurchased.
Liquidity
     The Company’s debt-to-total capital (defined as total debt divided by the sum of total debt plus total stockholders’ equity) was 28.7% as of September 30, 2009, compared to 31.2% at December 31, 2008 and 18.8% at September 30, 2008.
     The Company’s primary cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, funding of employee termination and other restructuring costs, principal and interest payments on indebtedness, and potential stock repurchases. The Company’s primary sources of funds are its ongoing net cash flows from operating activities and availability under its Revolving Line of Credit (as defined below). At September 30, 2009, the Company had cash and equivalents of $109.7 million, of which $3.0 million was pledged to financial institutions as collateral to support the issuance of standby letters of credit and similar instruments. The Company also had $290.0 million of unused availability under its Revolving Line of Credit at September 30, 2009. Based on the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2009 and its pro-forma results of operations for the twelve months then ended, the unused availability under its Revolving Line of Credit would not have been limited by the financial ratio covenants in the 2008 Credit Agreement (as further described below).
     On September 19, 2008, the Company entered into the 2008 Credit Agreement consisting of (i) a $310.0 million Revolving Line of Credit (the “Revolving Line of Credit”), (ii) a $180.0 million term loan (“U.S. Dollar Term Loan”) and (iii) a 120.0 million term loan (“Euro Term Loan”). In addition, the 2008 Credit Agreement provides for a possible increase in the revolving credit facility of up to $200.0 million.

Table of Contents

     The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the 2008 Credit Agreement are, at the Company’s option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin percentage or a Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin. The base rate is the greater of (i) the prime rate or (ii) one-half of 1% over the weighted average of rates on overnight federal funds as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Eurocurrency rate is LIBOR.
     The initial applicable margin percentage over LIBOR under the 2008 Credit Agreement was 2.5% with respect to the term loans and 2.1% with respect to loans under the Revolving Line of Credit, and the initial applicable margin percentage over the base rate was 1.25%. After the Company’s delivery of its financial statements and compliance certificate for each fiscal quarter, the applicable margin percentages are subject to adjustments based upon the ratio of the Company’s Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) (each as defined in the 2008 Credit Agreement) being within certain defined ranges.
     The obligations under the 2008 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The obligations under the 2008 Credit Agreement are also secured by a pledge of the capital stock of each of the Company’s existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, as well as 65% of the capital stock of each of the Company’s existing and future first-tier material foreign subsidiaries.
     The 2008 Credit Agreement includes customary covenants. Subject to certain exceptions, these covenants restrict or limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things: incur liens; engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends and redeem stock; make investments (including loans and advances); enter into transactions with affiliates; make capital expenditures and incur rental obligations. In addition, the 2008 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios on a quarterly basis, including a maximum total leverage ratio test and a minimum interest coverage ratio test. The maximum total leverage ratio test becomes more restrictive over time. As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with each of the financial ratio covenants under the 2008 Credit Agreement.
     The 2008 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including upon a change of control. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the 2008 Credit Agreement will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the 2008 Credit Agreement.
     The U.S. Dollar and Euro Term Loans have a final maturity of October 15, 2013. The U.S. Dollar Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments aggregating approximately $3.5 million, $15.6 million, $22.6 million, $38.2 million and $52.1 million in fiscal years 2009 through 2013, respectively. The Euro Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments aggregating approximately 2.4 million, 10.7 million, 15.4 million, 26.0 million and 35.5 million in fiscal years 2009 through 2013, respectively.
     The Revolving Line of Credit also matures on October 15, 2013. Loans under this facility may be denominated in USD or several foreign currencies and may be borrowed by the Company or two of its foreign subsidiaries as outlined in the 2008 Credit Agreement.
     The Company issued $125.0 million of 8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Notes”) in 2005. The Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 8% and are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the

“Guarantors”). The Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes issued under the Indenture among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (the “Indenture”) at varying redemption prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may also repurchase Notes from time to time in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. Upon a change of control, as defined in the Indenture, the Company is required to offer to purchase all of the Notes then outstanding at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Indenture contains events of default and affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for such financings, including, among other things, limits on incurring additional debt and restricted payments.
     Management currently expects the Company’s future cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund its scheduled debt service, working capital, capital expenditures and potential stock repurchases for at least the next twelve months. The Company continues to consider acquisition opportunities, but the size and timing of any future acquisitions and the related potential capital requirements cannot be predicted. In the event that suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon acceptable terms, the Company may obtain all or a portion of the necessary financing through the incurrence of additional long-term borrowings.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
     The following table and accompanying disclosures summarize the Company’s significant contractual obligations at September 30, 2009 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flow in future periods.
                                         
            Payments Due by Period
(Dollars in millions)           Balance                   After
Contractual Cash Obligations   Total   of 2009   2010 — 2011   2012 — 2013   2013
 
Debt
  $ 407.6     $ 13.2     $ 77.8     $ 312.9     $ 3.7  
Estimated interest payments (1)
    79.4       5.8       39.0       25.1       9.5

Total
  $ 752.3     $ 157.0     $ 188.9     $ 358.7     $ 47.7  
     
 
(1)   Estimated interest payments for long-term debt were calculated as follows: for fixed-rate debt and term debt, interest was calculated based on applicable rates and payment dates; for variable-rate debt and/or non-term debt, interest rates and payment dates were estimated based on management’s determination of the most likely scenarios for each relevant debt instrument.
 
(2)   Purchase obligations consist primarily of agreements to purchase inventory or services made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements. The purchase obligation amounts do not represent the entire anticipated purchases in the future, but represent only those items for which the Company is contractually obligated as of September 30, 2009. For this reason, these amounts will not provide a complete and reliable indicator of the Company’s expected future cash outflows.
     The above table does not include the Company’s total pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities and net deferred income tax liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 because such liabilities, due to their nature, do not represent expected liquidity needs. There have not been material changes to such liabilities or the Company’s minimum pension funding obligations other than as disclosed in Note 7 “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” and Note 13 “Income Taxes” in the “Notes to Condensed

Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Also please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
     In the normal course of business, the Company or its subsidiaries may sometimes be required to provide surety bonds, standby letters of credit or similar instruments to guarantee its performance of contractual or legal obligations. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $69.4 million in such instruments outstanding and had pledged $3.0 million of cash to the issuing financial institutions as collateral for such instruments.
Contingencies
     Refer to Note 15 “Contingencies” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a description of various legal proceedings, lawsuits and administrative actions.
New Accounting Standards
     Refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a description of new accounting pronouncements, including the expected impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
     Management has evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed financial statements and related notes and believes those policies to be reasonable and appropriate. Certain of these accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on historical experience, trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The most significant areas involving management judgments and estimates may be found in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 2, 2009, in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis and in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” See also the additional Critical Accounting Policy described below. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting polices during the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
Restructuring Charges
     The Company accounts for costs incurred in connection with the closure and consolidation of facilities and functions in accordance with FASB ASC 420; FASB ASC 712; FASB ASC 360-10-05-4, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets; FASB ASC 805; and EITF No. 95-3 (superseded by FASB ASC 805). Such costs include employee termination benefits (one-time arrangements and benefits attributable to prior service); termination of contractual obligations; the write-down of current and long-term assets to the lower of cost or fair value; and other direct incremental costs including relocation of employees, inventory and equipment.

50


Table of Contents

     A liability is established through a charge to operations for one-time employee termination benefits when management commits to a plan of termination and communicates such plan to the affected group of employees. A liability is established for employee termination benefits that accumulate or vest based on prior service when it becomes probable that such termination benefits will be paid and the amount of the payment can be reasonably estimated. A liability for contract termination costs is established at fair value when the contract is terminated or the Company becomes contractually obligated to make such payment. If an operating lease is not terminated, a liability is established when the Company ceases use of the leased property. Other direct incremental costs are charged to operations as incurred.
     With respect to business combinations consummated prior to January 1, 2009, liabilities for employee termination and relocation benefits and contractual obligations of the acquired company, contemplated at the acquisition date and finalized within one year of the acquisition date, are included in, and recorded as adjustments to, goodwill.
     With respect to certain restructuring charges for which the Company expects to receive funding from governments grants, such charges are reduced by the amount of anticipated funding in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 20.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
     All of the statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” other than historical facts, are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the statements made under the caption “Outlook.” As a general matter, forward-looking statements are those focused upon anticipated events or trends, expectations, and beliefs relating to matters that are not historical in nature. The words “could,” “anticipate,” “preliminary,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “foresee,” “project,” “forecast,” or the negative thereof or variations thereon, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for these forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors relating to the Company’s operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. These known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in, anticipated by or implied by such forward-looking statements.
     These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the Company’s exposure to the risks associated with the current global economic crisis, which may negatively impact the Company’s revenues, liquidity, suppliers and customers; (2) the risks that the Company will not realize the expected financial and other benefits from the acquisition of CompAir and from recently announced restructuring actions; (3) exposure to economic downturns and market cycles, particularly the level of oil and natural gas prices and oil and natural gas drilling production, which affect demand for the Company’s petroleum products, and industrial production and manufacturing capacity utilization rates, which affect demand for the Company’s compressor and vacuum

products; (4) the risks associated with intense competition in the Company’s market segments, particularly the pricing of the Company’s products; (5) the risks of large or rapid increases in raw material costs or substantial decreases in their availability, and the Company’s dependence on particular suppliers, particularly iron casting and other metal suppliers; (6) economic, political and other risks associated with the Company’s international sales and operations, including changes in currency exchange rates (primarily between the USD, the EUR, the GBP and the CNY); (7) the risk of additional future charges if the Company determines that the value of goodwill and other intangible assets, representing a significant portion of the Company’s total assets, are further impaired; (8) risks associated with the Company’s indebtedness and changes in the availability or costs of new financing to support the Company’s operations and future investments; (9) the risks associated with potential product liability and warranty claims due to the nature of the Company’s products; (10) the ability to attract and retain quality executive management and other key personnel; (11) the ability to avoid employee work stoppages and other labor difficulties; (12) the ability to continue to identify and complete strategic acquisitions and effectively integrate such acquired companies to achieve desired financial benefits; (13) changes in discount rates used for actuarial assumptions in pension and other postretirement obligation and expense calculations and market performance of pension plan assets; (14) the risk of regulatory noncompliance; (15) the risks associated with environmental compliance costs and liabilities; (16) the risk that communication or information systems failure may disrupt the Company’s business and result in financial loss and liability to its customers; (17) the risks associated with pending asbestos and silica personal injury lawsuits; and (18) the risks associated with enforcing the Company’s intellectual property rights and defending against potential intellectual property claims. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with important information regarding risks and factors that may affect the Company’s future performance set forth under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and as updated in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed thereafter for the 2009 fiscal year.
     These statements reflect the current views and assumptions of management with respect to future events. The Company does not undertake, and hereby disclaims, any duty to update these forward-looking statements, even though its situation and circumstances may change in the future. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The inclusion of any statement in this report does not constitute an admission by the Company or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
     The Company is exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of business arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of operating and financing activities. The Company selectively uses derivatives, including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, to manage the risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not purchase or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates can be volatile, and the Company’s risk management activities do not totally eliminate these risks. Consequently, these fluctuations could have a significant effect on the Company’s financial results.
     Notional transaction amounts and fair values for the Company’s outstanding derivatives, by risk category and instrument type, as of September 30, 2009, are summarized in Note 12 “Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

52


Table of Contents

Commodity Price Risk
     The Company is a purchaser of certain commodities, principally aluminum. In addition, the Company is a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including cast iron, aluminum, copper, and steel. The Company generally buys these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process. The Company does not use commodity derivatives to hedge commodity prices.
     The Company has long-term contracts with some of its suppliers of key components. However, to the extent that commodity prices increase and the Company does not have firm pricing from its suppliers, or its suppliers are not able to honor such prices, then the Company may experience margin declines to the extent it is not able to increase selling prices of its products.
Interest Rate Risk
     The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from its borrowings of $417.5 million at September 30, 2009. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of fixed and variable rate debt and, from time to time, uses pay-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt in order to adjust the relative proportions. The interest rates on approximately 64% of the Company’s borrowings were effectively fixed as of September 30, 2009. If the relevant LIBOR-based interest rates for all of the Company’s borrowings had been 100 basis points higher than actual in the nine-month period of 2009, the Company’s interest expense would have increased by $2.0 million.
Exchange Rate Risk
     A substantial portion of the Company’s operations is conducted by its subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the USD. Almost all of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Other than the USD, the EUR, GBP, and CNY are the principal currencies in which the Company and its subsidiaries transact.
     The Company is exposed to the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ net assets and earnings into USD. The Company partially offsets these exposures by having certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries act as the obligor on a portion of its borrowings and by denominating such borrowings, as well as a portion of the borrowings for which the Company is the obligor, in currencies other than the USD. Of the Company’s total net assets of $1,035.8 million at September 30, 2009, approximately $666.7 million was denominated in currencies other than the USD. Borrowings by the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries at September 30, 2009 totaled $24.8 million, and the Company’s consolidated borrowings denominated in currencies other than the USD totaled $156.5 million. Fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the value of non-USD borrowings that have been designated as hedges of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income.

53


Table of Contents

     The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the risk that arises when they, from time to time, enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To mitigate this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries typically settle intercompany trading balances monthly. The Company also selectively uses forward currency contracts to manage this risk. At September 30, 2009, the notional amount of open forward currency contracts was $135.9 million and their aggregate fair value was an asset of $1.9 million.
     To illustrate the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s financial results, the Company’s operating income (excluding the effect of impairment charges) for the nine-month period of 2009 would have decreased by approximately $3.2 million if the USD had been 10 percent more valuable than actual relative to other currencies. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion to the USD and that there are no indirect effects of the change in the value of the USD such as changes in non-USD sales volumes or prices.
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
     The Company’s management carried out an evaluation (as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon this evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such that the information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     In addition, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation, as required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
     The Company is a party to various legal proceedings and administrative actions. The information regarding these proceedings and actions is included under Note 15 “Contingencies” to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A.   Risk Factors
     For information regarding factors that could affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, see (i) the risk factors discussion provided under Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, (ii) the “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (iii) the additional risk factor set forth below in this Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
     A significant portion of the Company’s assets consist of goodwill and other intangible assets, the value of which may be reduced if the Company determines that those assets are further impaired.
     Goodwill is recorded as the difference, if any, between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. In accordance with GAAP, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Impairment assessment under GAAP requires that the Company consider, among other factors, differences between the current book value and estimated fair value of its net assets, and comparison of the estimated fair value of its net assets to its current market capitalization.
     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 a $10.0 million impairment charge primarily to reduce the carrying value of a trade name in the Industrial Products Group. After these charges, the net carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets represented approximately $903.3 million, or 45.4%, of the Company’s total assets.
     The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test and concluded that the carrying value of goodwill as of June 30, 2009 was not impaired. The Company also assessed whether there were any further indicators of impairment or triggering events that had occurred during the third quarter of 2009 which may require the performance of an interim impairment test. This assessment did not identify any such indicators or events. If goodwill or other assets are further impaired based on a future impairment test, the Company could be required to record additional non-cash impairment charges to its operating income.
