Table of Contents

1. Basis of presentation

Unless the context otherwise indicates, the terms “we”, “our”, “us”, the “Company”, “Dresser-Rand” and similar terms, refer to Dresser-Rand Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by such principles applicable to annual financial statements. These financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the 2011 periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. Certain amounts in the prior periods consolidated financial statements have been revised to conform to the current period’s presentation. These revisions or changes in classification had no impact on the net assets or net income of the Company.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. We consider revenue realized or realizable and earned when we have persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery of the product or service has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Delivery does not occur until products have been shipped or services have been provided to the client, risk of loss has transferred to the client and any required client acceptance has been obtained (or such provisions have lapsed), or we have objective evidence that the criteria specified in the client acceptance provisions have been satisfied. The amount of revenue related to any contingency is not recognized until the contingency is resolved.

On January 1, 2011, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. We enter into multiple-element revenue arrangements or contracts, which may include any combination of designing, developing, manufacturing, modifying and commissioning complex products to customer specifications and providing services related to the performance of such products. These contracts normally take up to fifteen months to complete. Provided that the separate deliverables have value to the client on a stand-alone basis, we use the selling price hierarchy described below to determine how to separate multiple element revenue arrangements into separate units of accounting and how to allocate the arrangement consideration among those separate units of accounting:

 

   

Vendor-specific objective evidence.

 

   

Third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available.

 

   

Estimated selling price determined in the same manner as that used to determine the price at which we sell the deliverables on a standalone basis if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third party evidence is available.

Upon adoption of ASU 2009-13, we did not experience a material change in the timing of revenue recognition or the allocation of our units of accounting.

Our sales arrangements do not include a general right of return of the delivered unit(s). If it is determined that the separate deliverables do not have value on a stand-alone basis, the arrangement is accounted for as one unit of accounting, which results in revenue being recognized when the last undelivered unit is delivered.

We are required to estimate the future costs that will be incurred related to sales arrangements to determine whether any arrangement will result in a loss. These costs include material, labor and overhead. Factors influencing these future costs include the availability of materials and skilled laborers.

We recognize, as operating revenue, proceeds from business interruption insurance claims in the period in which the insurance company confirms that proceeds for insurance claims will be paid. Proceeds from casualty insurance settlements in excess of the carrying value of damaged assets are recognized in the period that the applicable proof of loss documentation is received. Proceeds from casualty insurance settlements that are expected to be less than the carrying value of damaged assets are recognized at the time the loss is incurred.

Table of Contents

Revenue related to grant agreements with various government and other agencies is recognized when the grant has been received, when the related expenditures are incurred, and when these expenditures meet the criteria under which the funds were granted.

2. New accounting standards

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2010-28, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. ASU 2010-28 modifies step one of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and offers guidance on when to perform step two of the testing. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform step two of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists based upon factors such as unanticipated competition, the loss of key personnel and adverse regulatory changes. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations, which updates the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2010-29 clarifies that pro forma disclosures should be presented as if a business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual period for purposes of preparing both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period pro forma financial information. These disclosures should be accompanied by a narrative description about the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. The adoption of ASU 2010-29 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 generally modify ASC 820 to clarify that the highest and best use concept only applies to nonfinancial assets and provides specific requirements for measuring instruments recorded in shareholders’ equity. In addition, ASU 2011-04 added requirements for (1) measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio, (2) applying discounts and premiums in fair value measurements, and (3) disclosing further information about Level 3 fair value measurements, a reporting entity’s use of non-financial assets, and the categorization of items that are not measured at fair value when fair value is required to be disclosed. ASC 820 results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or fair value measurements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or with two separate but consecutive statements. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments do not require any transition disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will result only in a change in the Company’s presentation of comprehensive income, which is currently presented in its consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the notes to its consolidated financial statements in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing both public and nonpublic entities with the option of performing a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its reporting units. An entity may also bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to step one of the quantitative impairment test, and then perform the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The revised standard includes examples of events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, including macroeconomic conditions, such as deterioration in general economic conditions, entity-specific events, such as declining financial performance, and other events, such as an expectation that a reporting unit will be sold. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. An entity can choose to adopt early the revised standard even if its annual test date is before September 15, 2011, provided that the entity has not yet issued its financial statements for the period that includes its annual test date. The Company has not adopted ASU 2011-08 early, and does not expect ASU 2011-08 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-09, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Multiemployer Plans. ASU 2011-09 is intended to provide more information about an employer’s financial obligations to a multiemployer pension plan in order to help financial statement users better understand the financial health of all of the significant plans in which the employer participates. Additional disclosures required by ASU 2011-09 include: (1) the significant multiemployer plans in which an employer participates, including the plan names and identifying number; (2) the level of an employer’s participation in the significant multiemployer plans, including the employer’s contributions and their significance to the plan; (3) the financial health of significant multiemployer plans, including an indication of the funded status and whether funding improvement plans are pending or implemented; and (4) the nature of the employer’s commitments to each multiemployer plan, including those specified in collective-bargaining agreements. The revised standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, with a one year deferral for non-public entities. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application will be required. The Company has not adopted ASU 2011-09 early, and does not expect ASU 2011-09 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions and other investments

On March 3, 2011, the Company, Grupo Guascor, S. L. (“Guascor”) and the stockholders of Guascor entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Guascor. On May 4, 2011, the acquisition of Guascor’s capital stock by the Company pursuant to the SPA was consummated, at which time, Guascor became a 100%-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Guascor acquisition excluded the assets and liabilities of Guascor Fotón AGF, S.L. and Guascor Fotón, S.L. (together, “Fotón”), which were sold by Guascor to a third party, on May 4, 2011 pursuant to the SPA. Fotón, under a limited license, develops and manufactures photovoltaic cells and systems utilizing high concentration photovoltaics with technology developed by a third party, in which Fotón has a less than 10% equity ownership. The Company also received an option to acquire Fotón for a de minimus payment, which may be exercised over a ten year period, beginning on January 1, 2014. The Guascor acquisition was approved by the shareholders of Guascor, and a variety of required regulatory approvals, licenses and clearances were received. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company paid approximately $283.5 net of acquired cash and delivered 5,033,172 shares of Dresser-Rand common stock at closing. The total purchase price was approximately $548.4. The SPA includes an adjustment to the purchase price based on the difference in net debt (gross debt less cash) as defined in the SPA and net debt as of the date of closing that could take up to 270 days from the date of closing to settle.

Guascor was a privately held company founded in 1966 and is headquartered in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. Guascor is a supplier of diesel and gas engines who provides customized energy solutions across worldwide energy infrastructure markets based upon reciprocating engine power systems technologies. Guascor also has substantial experience in other complementary activities such as the design, construction and development of energy generation and cogeneration plants and mini-hydroelectric plants, and the development and exploitation of wind farms and biomass, used oil and landfill energy recovery, photovoltaic solar energy, farming purine processing, and used tire facilities. Guascor conducts its activities globally. Its principal operations are in Spain, Brazil and Italy, and its net loss and revenues were approximately 26.7% and 11.1%, respectively, of the Company’s net income and revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The purchase price for Guascor was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary fair value estimates. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The acquisition accounting for Guascor is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. Differences between the preliminary and the final acquisition accounting may occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the Company’s future results of operations and financial position.

On January 18, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets of Leading Edge Turbine Technologies, Inc. (such business being referred to as “LETT”), located in Houston, Texas for $34.3. LETT is a provider of turbine technologies applicable to industrial gas turbines, steam turbines and compressor repair. The acquisition allowed the Company to expand its service offering in its current market and provides the Company with access to adjacent markets. The purchase agreement includes the potential for additional cash consideration based on achieving certain revenue and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets over a three-year period ending on December 31, 2012. The additional consideration is up to a maximum of $5.5 depending upon the achievement of such targets.

On May 3, 2010, the Company acquired certain assets of Turbo Machines Field Services (Pty) Ltd. (such business being referred to as “TMFS”), for $10.5. TMFS operates a repair facility near Johannesburg, South Africa. TMFS manufactures turbine blades, compressor impellers, bearings and seals for steam turbine and centrifugal compressor products. Additionally, TMFS provides engineered solutions for equipment upgrades and field services for critical rotating equipment applications. TMFS clients are in the oil, gas, petrochemical, and industrial sectors. The acquisition provides the Company the ability to expand its service offering in South Africa and the rest of the sub-Saharan market. The purchase agreement includes the potential for additional cash consideration based on achieving certain annual and cumulative earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) targets over a three-year period ending on June 30, 2013. The additional consideration is up to a maximum of $4.0 depending upon the achievement of such targets.

The estimated fair values of the additional consideration for the LETT and TMFS acquisitions of $2.5 and $2.0, respectively, at September 30, 2011, are included as liabilities in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Changes in the fair values since the date of acquisition are recognized immediately in the applicable consolidated statements of income until the contingencies are resolved.

In addition to the cash paid for acquisitions discussed above, on January 22, 2010, the Company paid $24.1 of additional cash consideration in connection with its 2008 acquisition of certain assets of Peter Brotherhood Ltd.

Goodwill is principally comprised of expected synergies from combining operations of the acquired businesses and the Company. A portion of the goodwill associated with the Guascor acquisition may be amortized for income tax purposes over a period of not less than five years. Due to the preliminary nature of the opening balance sheet allocation and the preliminary nature of certain tax planning strategies, the amount of goodwill amortization that may be deductible for income tax purposes has not yet been determined. A deferred tax liability has been provided on the incremental fair values assigned to the assets. If the Company is successful in obtaining approval from tax authorities and implementing certain tax planning strategies, a portion of the deferred tax liability may be reversed, and could reduce future income tax expense materially. The amortization of goodwill related to the LETT acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes over 15 years. The amortization of goodwill related to the TMFS acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Other Investments

In 2008, the Company entered into an agreement by which it acquired a non-controlling interest in Ramgen Power Systems, LLC (“Ramgen”), a privately held company that is developing compressor technology that applies proven supersonic aircraft technology to ground-based air and gas compressors. In addition to receiving a non-controlling interest, the Company received an option to acquire the business of Ramgen at a price of $25.0 and a royalty commitment. The option is exercisable at any time through October 28, 2012. Pursuant to the agreement, an initial investment of $5.0 was made in November 2008, and the Company’s final contractually obligated investment of $5.0 was made in May 2009. The Company also made optional investments of $5.0 in each of November 2009 and November 2010, which resulted in an aggregate non-controlling interest of 29.2%. The agreement allows the Company to make an additional optional investment of $4.0 by November 2011. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on its investment in Ramgen is limited to amounts invested plus any amounts the Company may choose to invest in the future. In determining whether the Company should consolidate Ramgen, the Company considered that its board participation, ownership interest and the option would not give the Company the ability to direct the activities of Ramgen, and consequently, would not result in the Company being the primary beneficiary. The investment in Ramgen is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and the amount of the investment recorded in the consolidated balance sheet is $19.3.

In April 2009, the Company and Al Rushaid Petroleum Investment Company (“ARPIC”) executed and delivered a Business Venture Agreement to form a joint venture, Dresser-Rand Arabia LLC (“D-R Arabia”). D-R Arabia will be a center of excellence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for manufacturing, repairs, service, technical expertise and training. The Company owns approximately 50% of D-R Arabia. The Company made a cash contribution of approximately $0.3 and will license D-R Arabia to use certain intellectual property. ARPIC owns approximately 50% of the joint venture and made a cash contribution of approximately $0.3. In determining whether the Company should consolidate D-R Arabia, the Company considered that its ownership and board participation would give the Company the ability to direct the activities of D-R Arabia, which would result in the Company being the primary beneficiary. Consequently, D-R Arabia is consolidated in the financial results of the Company.

In February 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a non-controlling interest in Echogen Power Systems, LLC (“Echogen”), a privately held technology development company that is developing and commercializing power generation systems that harness waste heat for power and cooling applications. The Company also received an option to acquire the outstanding shares of Echogen, which expires February 24, 2013, and certain broad license rights in certain of the Company’s key industries. The Company will pay Echogen a royalty based on future equipment sales in these markets. Commercialization is anticipated to begin in 2012. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company made an initial investment of $5.0 in February 2011 and a $1.3 license fee payment, and made an additional investment of $5.0 and an additional $0.7 license fee payment in July 2011. The $10.0 investment resulted in an ownership interest in Echogen of approximately 20%. The investment was accounted for under the cost method in the six months ended June 30, 2011, and under the equity method beginning July 1, 2011. The amount of the investment recorded in the consolidated balance sheet is $9.5. In accordance with the agreement, Echogen has the right, from time to time, to issue capital call notices to the Company up to an additional $10.0 in the aggregate. The Company is permitted to decline to fund a capital call, but failure to fund any such capital call accelerates the option expiration date to the later of February 24, 2012, or the date that the Company declines to fund.

7. Financial Instruments (€ in millions)

The Company manages exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates through its normal operating and financing activities as well as through the use of financial instruments, principally forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps.

The purpose of the Company’s hedging activities is to mitigate the economic impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures through natural offsets. To the extent that this is not practicable, the Company may enter into forward exchange contracts or interest rate swaps. Major exposure areas considered for hedging include foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, firm committed transactions, forecast sales and purchases and variable interest rates.

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize the economic impact of unexpected fluctuations in interest rates on the lease of its compressor testing facility in France. The interest rate swap has a notional amount of €18.0 (approximately $24.1) and effectively converts substantially the entire interest component of the lease from a variable rate of interest to a fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.87% per annum. The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. The fair value of the interest rate swap and the related unrealized loss was $0.6 at September 30, 2011.

None of the Company’s other derivative financial instruments are designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company recognizes derivatives in prepaid expenses or other accounts payable and accruals, as appropriate, on the balance sheet and measures them at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of income as foreign currency income or loss in other income (expense).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

 

September 30, September 30,
       September 30,
2011
       December 31,
2010
 

Foreign currency exchange contracts assets

     $ 6.1         $ 3.7   
    

 

 

      

 

 

 

Foreign currency exchange contracts liabilities

     $ 8.9         $ 5.7   
    

 

 

      

 

 

 

The net foreign currency (losses) gains recognized for currency transactions, forward currency contracts and re-measuring monetary assets and liabilities were ($4.5) and ($3.6) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to $2.7 and ($15.4) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and were included in other (expense) income, net.

Table of Contents

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt obligations as determined by quoted market prices as of September 30, 2011, was approximately $371.2.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). ASC 820 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1   Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2   Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
Level 3   Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

Input levels used for our fair value measurements are as follows:

 

Description

    

Disclosure

    

Input Level

    

Level 2 Inputs

    

Level 3 Inputs

Acquired assets and liabilities      Note 3      Level 3      Not applicable      Income approach using projected results and weighted average cost of capital
Long-term debt (note disclosure only)      Note 7      Level 2      Quoted prices in markets that are not active      Not applicable
Financial derivatives      Note 7      Level 2      Quoted market prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets      Not applicable

8. Income taxes

We operate in numerous countries and tax jurisdictions around the world, and many of the tax returns we have filed have not been audited. Accordingly, we could be exposed to additional income and other taxes.

Our estimated income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% because of different tax rates in foreign tax jurisdictions and certain deductions and credits allowable for income tax purposes, partially offset by state and local income taxes and valuation allowances on net operating loss carryforwards that more likely than not will not be realized. We will adjust valuation allowances in the future if it becomes more likely than not that the benefits of deferred tax assets will be realized. Tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes approximately $1.0 associated with an uncertain tax position in one of our foreign subsidiaries as it is more likely than not that the Company’s position will not be sustained upon examination. As a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on January 8, 2010, the Company recorded a non-deductible foreign exchange loss in its Consolidated Statement of Income of approximately $13.6, which adversely affected the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

9. Long-Term Debt

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On March 15, 2011, the Company and certain of its foreign subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), and terminated its existing credit facility. The obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by mortgages on certain real and other property and are guaranteed by certain material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Domestic Guarantors”). The obligations of the French subsidiary borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company, the Domestic Guarantors and the direct French subsidiary of such French borrower. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes $2.1 of accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees as a result of terminating our previous senior secured credit facility. In connection with entering into the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company incurred fees of $9.5, which are being amortized under the effective interest method over the term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility currently consists of a $700.0 revolving credit facility and a $400.0 term loan facility. Effective October 4, 2011, the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility agreed to the Company’s request pursuant to the terms thereof to increase the total commitments under the revolving credit facility by $100.0. The term loan facility provided for an initial draw in the amount of $160.0 and one additional delayed draw of up to the remaining $240.0

commitment, which was initiated by the Company as a Euro-based term loan on May 17, 2011. At the end of each quarter commencing June 30, 2012, the term loan facility requires the Company to make principal payments equal to one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) of the term loan balance outstanding immediately following the end of the delayed draw availability period. Voluntary prepayments may be used to satisfy mandatory principal payments. Any principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility and term loan facility is due and payable in full at maturity on March 15, 2016. At September 30, 2011, term loan borrowings totaled $340.7 and there was $176.5 in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The Company had issued $180.7 of letters of credit under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2011. In addition to these letters of credit, $168.7 of letters of credit and bank guarantees were outstanding at September 30, 2011, which were issued by banks offering uncommitted lines of credit.

Revolving and term loan borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either (a) a rate equal to an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for the offering of deposits in U.S. dollars (or with respect to Euro-denominated borrowings only, the costs of funds for the offering of deposits in Euros) for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs or (b) a rate equal to an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio plus a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate that the administrative agent announces from time to time as its base commercial lending rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus  1/2 of 1% and (3) the adjusted LIBOR rate for a one month period plus 1%.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments at a rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company will also pay letter of credit fees equal to an applicable margin then in effect with respect to LIBOR loans under the revolving credit facility on the face amount of each financial letter of credit, and a rate ranging from 1.20% to 1.65% per annum on the face amount of each performance letter of credit.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires that certain net proceeds related to asset sales, to the extent not reinvested in assets used or useful in the Company’s business within one year, be used to pay down the outstanding balance. The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary brokerage costs. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains normal and customary covenants including the provision of periodic financial information, financial covenants (including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio), and certain other limitations governing, among others, such matters as the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens on assets, make investments, acquisitions or mergers, dispose of assets, make capital expenditures, engage in transactions with affiliates, make amendments to documentation for the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes that would be materially adverse to lenders, and pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides for customary events of default.

Senior Subordinated Notes

On March 8, 2011, the Company announced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its $370.0 in aggregate principal amount of then-outstanding 7 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, which would have matured on November 1, 2014. The tender offer provided total consideration to those tendering on or before March 21, 2011, equal to the principal amount of the notes plus 2.8%, and accrued interest. Approximately $291.3 of notes were tendered in the tender offer and were subsequently repurchased by the Company. On March 23, 2011, the Company announced the redemption of all of the remaining 7 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes at the call price of 102.458% of the face amount of notes. This redemption was completed on April 22, 2011. Following the redemption, the 7 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are no longer outstanding. In connection with the redemption, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded non-operating expense of approximately $10.1, for early redemption premiums. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes $6.4, of accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees as a result of redeeming the 7 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes.

On March 22, 2011, the Company issued $375.0 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes, which bear interest at a rate of 6 1/2% per annum. The notes mature on May 1, 2021. The Company may redeem any of the notes beginning on May 1, 2016, at a redemption price of 103.250% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest. The redemption price will decline each year after 2016 and will be 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, beginning on May 1, 2019. Prior to May 1, 2016, the Company may redeem the notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued interest. Prior to May 1, 2014, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.5% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest. In connection with issuing the 6  1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, the Company incurred fees of $3.7, which are being amortized under the effective interest method over the term of the notes.

All of the new Senior Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and rank junior to the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Senior Subordinated Notes contain customary covenants including certain limitations and restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends and make distributions in respect of capital stock, redeem capital stock, make investments or certain other restricted payments, sell assets, issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates and effect consolidations or mergers.

The dividends and distributions covenant under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility allows the Company to pay dividends on or repurchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire for value, it’s outstanding shares in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of $200.0 plus 50% of the Company’s net income for the period commencing January 1, 2010, and ending on the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The limitation on shares to be repurchased under this covenant excludes the accelerated stock acquisition programs that were executed on March 15 and March 22, 2011 (Note 15).

The Company is required to maintain sinking funds associated with certain of the borrowings assumed in the acquisition of Guascor based generally on the short term debt service requirements of such borrowings. Sinking fund requirements totaled $28.2 and have been classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet.

Syndicated Term Loan and Working Capital Line

The Company has entered into a term loan and a working capital line with a syndicate of lenders. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $17.3 in borrowings outstanding under the syndicated term loan and no borrowings outstanding on the working capital line. The obligations of the Company under the syndicated term loan and working capital line are secured by mortgages on certain property and intangible assets as well as the shares of substantially all of the material subsidiaries of Guascor. Principal payments on the term loan of $1.2 are payable quarterly, with all principal and interest outstanding due and payable in full at maturity on December 30, 2013. Syndicated term loan borrowings bear interest at the three-month Euribor rate plus 2.75% per annum. The working capital line allows for borrowings of up to approximately $12.0, subject to Guascor maintaining a syndicated loan to equity ratio, on or after December 30, 2011, of less than 1.5. Interest on the working capital line accrues at the three-month Euribor rate plus 2.25% per annum. The working capital line expires on December 30, 2013. Approximately $4.4 of the principal under the syndicated term loan is scheduled to be paid in 2012, and approximately $12.9 is scheduled to be paid in 2013.

Other Working Capital Lines

The Company has other working capital lines with a total outstanding principal balance of $18.2, of which balance approximately $11.1 was borrowed from banks in Spain and approximately $7.1 was borrowed from banks in Brazil. Interest rates for borrowings in Spain range from Euribor plus 0.65% to Euribor plus 2.75% per annum and interest rates for borrowings in Brazil range from 17.0% to 18.4% per annum. Principal on these other working capital lines is scheduled to be paid as follows: $14.3 in 2011; $1.5 in 2012; $1.8 in 2013; and $0.6 in 2014.

Approximately $16.2 of the outstanding project financing balance is related to the design, construction and development of power generation and cogeneration plants in Brazil, which bear interest at rates ranging from 4.5% per annum to the Brazilian General Interest of Market Prices (IGPM) plus 13.0% per annum. Each loan is senior to all other debt on the related project and is generally secured by the assets of the project and the stock of the subsidiary borrower. Principal on these project financing arrangements is scheduled to be paid as follows: $3.2 in 2011; $11.1 in 2012; $9.7 in 2013; $6.2 in 2014; $6.0 in 2015; and $9.9 thereafter.

Subsidized Loans

The Company has applied for and received loans from the Ministry of Science and Technology in Spain, the Center for the Development of Industrial Technology in Spain and other similar government agencies, which loans do not bear interest.

Participating Loans

The Company has two participating loans that bear interest at the six-month Euribor rate plus 2% per annum, plus additional interest that accrues based on Guascor’s consolidated results up to a maximum additional rate of Euribor plus 6% per annum. Principal on the participating loans is scheduled to be paid as follows: $0.3 in 2011; $2.0 in 2012; $2.0 in 2013; $1.0 in 2014; and $1.3 thereafter.

Other Notes Payable

Approximately $10.0 of other notes payable plus accrued interest is required to be paid when such syndicated loan is fully paid. Approximately $16.5 of the outstanding balance is related to a previous equity ownership of one of Guascor’s subsidiaries, which has been called and is payable in cash, and is compounding interest at an annual rate of 13.0%. Excluding the called equity, interest rates on other notes payable range from one-year Euribor plus 0.75% to one-year Euribor plus 1.25% per annum.

12. Commitments and contingencies (€ in millions)

We are involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, arising in the normal course of business. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. We are indemnified by our former owner, Ingersoll Rand Company Limited, for certain of these matters as part of Ingersoll Rand’s sale of the Company. While adverse decisions in certain of these litigation matters, claims and administrative proceedings could have a material effect on a particular period’s results of operations, subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities and the benefit of the indemnity from Ingersoll Rand, management believes that any future accruals, with respect to these currently known contingencies, would not have a material effect on the financial condition, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

Painted Post Labor Litigation

In November 2007, Local 313 of IUE-CWA, the union that represents certain employees at the Company’s Painted Post facility (the “IUE”) made an offer to have its striking members return to work under the terms of the previously expired union agreement. The Company rejected that offer and locked out these represented employees. Approximately one week later, after reaching an impasse in negotiations, the Company exercised its right to implement the terms of its last contract offer, ended the lockout, and the employees represented by the IUE agreed to return to work under the implemented terms. Subsequently, the IUE filed several unfair labor practice (“ULP”) charges against the Company with Region 3 of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), asserting multiple allegations arising from the protracted labor dispute, its termination, contract negotiations and related matters.

Region 3 of the NLRB decided to proceed to complaint on only one-third of the ULP allegations asserted by the IUE, while the remaining claims were dismissed. Notably, the NLRB found that many of the critical aspects of the Company’s negotiations with the IUE were handled appropriately, including the NLRB’s findings that the union’s strike was not an unfair labor practice strike and the Company’s declaration of impasse and its unilateral implementation of its last offer were lawful. The Company, therefore, continued to operate under a more contemporary and competitive implemented contract offer while contract negotiations with the IUE continued in 2008 and 2009. In November 2009, a collective bargaining agreement between the IUE and the Company was ratified, which agreement expires in March 2013. As a result, the Company was not required to make available the retiree medical benefits which the Company eliminated in its implemented last contract offer. The Company recognized a non-cash curtailment amendment gain of $18.6 in other comprehensive income in December 2007 that was amortized over 36 months beginning January 2008, as a result of the elimination of those benefits.

Table of Contents

The claims that proceeded to complaint before the NLRB included the Company’s handling of the one week lockout, the negotiation of the recall process used to return employees to the facility after reaching impasse and lifting the lockout, and the termination of two employees who engaged in misconduct on the picket line during the strike. The trial of this matter took place before a NLRB Administrative Law Judge (the “ALJ”) in Elmira and Painted Post, N.Y. during the summer of 2009. On January 29, 2010, the ALJ issued his decision in which he found in favor of the union on some issues and upheld the Company’s position on others. The Company continues to believe it complied with the law with respect to these allegations. While management believes it should ultimately prevail with respect to these ULP allegations, several levels of appeal may be necessary. The litigation process, including appeals if elected by either party, could reasonably take 3 to 5 years and potentially even longer to resolve with finality. Given the broad scope of possible remedies that may apply pursuant to conflicting case law, the Company cannot estimate the range of loss at this time. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

U.K. Pension Plan

During July 2009, the Company received notification from the current plan trustees of one of its subsidiaries’ pension plans in the United Kingdom that sex equalization under the plan may have been achieved later than originally expected. The third-party trustee at the time action was taken believes that it had taken the appropriate steps to properly amend the plan as originally expected. The Company has accrued $4.9 to address contingent exposure regarding this dispute over potential unequal treatment of men and women under the pension plan related to a period in the 1990s and is exploring its rights against others.

Enviroil Litigation

In March 1998, Enviroil Italia, S.p.A. (“Enviroil”), which became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company upon the acquisition of Grupo Guascor, S.L. in May 2011, entered into an agreement with the Italian Ministry of Economic Development (“MISE”) to construct a plant in Gela, Italy for the production of heating gasoil from exhausted oil. In August 2007, following the completion of construction and upon commencement of the operation of the plant, an accident occurred and the plant’s operations were discontinued. In November 2008, Enviroil proposed converting the plant into a facility for the manufacturing of solar panels, and this proposal was rejected by MISE. In January 2010, MISE issued a decree declaring Enviroil in default of the agreement and ordering Enviroil to reimburse MISE the approximately €7.0 paid to Enviroil under the agreement, as well as sanctions, interest and other related costs. Enviroil initiated a proceeding in the Court of Caltanissetta requesting an order to suspend the effect of the MISE decree primarily based on Enviroil’s proposed conversion of the plant. The Court of Caltanissetta rejected Enviroil’s request by order issued in October 2010, and following an appeal by Enviroil, issued a second order in December 2010 denying the appeal. In June 2010, while the proceedings in the Court of Caltanissetta were still pending, Enviroil also initiated proceedings before the Lazio Administrative Court requesting the revocation of the MISE decree. These proceedings are still pending. In March 2011, Enviroil appealed the decree directly with MISE through an administrative procedure, and has engaged in settlement negotiations with MISE.

Although the ultimate outcome of these pending settlement negotiations and judicial and administrative proceedings cannot be ascertained at this time, the Company has recorded an accrual based on its assessment of the potential liability with respect to this matter. It is the opinion of management that, in light of the Company’s right to be indemnified under the SPA by the sellers of Guascor for losses incurred in connection with this matter, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

13. Warranty accruals

We maintain a product warranty liability that represents estimated future claims for equipment, parts and services covered during a warranty period. A warranty liability is provided at the time of revenue recognition based on historical experience and adjusted as required.

14. Segment information

We have two reportable segments based on the engineering and production processes, and the products and services provided by each segment as follows:

 

1) New units are highly engineered solutions to new requests from clients and include standardized equipment such as engines and single stage turbines. The segment includes engineering, manufacturing, sales and administrative support.

 

2) Aftermarket parts and services consist of support solutions for the existing population of installed equipment and the operation and maintenance of several types of energy plants. The segment includes engineering, manufacturing, sales and administrative support.

Unallocated amounts represent expenses and assets that cannot be assigned directly to either reportable segment because of their nature. Unallocated net expenses include certain corporate expenses and research and development expenses. Assets that are directly assigned to the two reportable segments are trade accounts receivable, net inventories, and goodwill. Unallocated assets include cash, prepaid expenses and other, deferred taxes, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets.

Segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010 were as follows:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved grants of options and appreciation rights involving 190,539 shares of common stock and grants of 292,530 shares of time-vested restricted stock units to employees under the Dresser-Rand Group Inc. 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. Additionally, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of performance restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) with a target grant amount of 55,770 restricted shares. PRSUs vest ratably between 16.67% and 50.00% annually over a three-year period to the extent that the percentile rank of the shareholder return of the Company’s stock is between the 25th percentile and the 75th percentile of a selected peer group. Additionally, Directors were granted 17,437 shares of restricted stock that will vest in one year.

On February 10, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $450.0 of the Company’s common stock. On August 26, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors further authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 of the Company’s common stock, including amounts authorized on February 10, 2011, but not yet used to repurchase common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company entered into three accelerated stock acquisition programs. Upon the completion of the stock acquisition programs, the full amount of common stock authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors had been repurchased. The repurchases were funded from operating cash flows and borrowings under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The total number of shares purchased was determined by dividing the purchase price by the volume-weighted average trading prices of our shares of common stock during the applicable valuation period, minus a fixed discount. The plans were executed as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ($ in millions)

Overview

We are among the largest global suppliers of custom-engineered rotating equipment solutions for long-life, critical applications in the oil, gas, petrochemical, power generation and process industries. Our products are used for applications that include oil and gas production and gas lift; high-pressure gas injection and other applications for enhanced oil recovery; natural gas production and processing; gas liquefaction; gas gathering, transmission and storage; hydrogen, wet and coker gas, synthesis gas, carbon dioxide and many other applications for the refining, fertilizer and petrochemical markets; several applications for the armed forces; as well as varied applications in several environmental markets such as biomass (including paper, sugar and palm oil), combined heat and power, and waste-to-energy. Our products are also used in general industrial markets such as non-ferrous metals and steel. We service our installed base, and that of other suppliers, around the world through the provision of parts, repairs, overhauls, operation and maintenance, upgrades, revamps, applied technology solutions, coatings, field services, gas turbine services, technical support and other extended services.

We operate globally with manufacturing facilities in the United States, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Norway, Spain, China and India. We provide a wide array of products and services to our worldwide client base in over 140 countries from our global locations (over 75 sales offices, 45 service and support centers, including 6 engineering and research and development centers and 13 manufacturing locations) in 18 U.S. states and 32 countries. We have principal offices in Paris, France, and Houston, Texas.

On March 3, 2011, we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Grupo Guascor, S. L. (“Guascor”) and the stockholders of Guascor pursuant to which we would acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Guascor. On May 4, 2011, the acquisition of Guascor capital stock by the Company pursuant to the SPA was consummated, at which time Guascor became our 100%-owned subsidiary. Guascor, headquartered in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, is a supplier of diesel and gas engines that provides customized energy solutions across worldwide energy infrastructure markets based upon reciprocating engine power systems technologies. Guascor also has substantial experience in other complementary activities such as the design, construction and development of power generation and cogeneration plants and mini-hydroelectric plants, and the development and exploitation of wind farms and biomass, used oil and landfill energy recovery, photovoltaic solar energy, farming purine processing and used tire facilities. Guascor conducts its activities globally through 13 sales offices, 5 service and support centers and 1 manufacturing location. Its principal operations are in Spain, Brazil and Italy.

The energy markets continue to be driven by worldwide supply and demand, production and processing capacity, and geopolitical risks. We continue to believe that the longer-term fundamentals affecting the energy industry will support significant additional investment in energy infrastructure worldwide as well as the maintenance and upgrade of the existing installed base of rotating equipment.

From a long-term perspective, we believe that the fundamentals driving trends in our industry include population and economic growth; maturing producing oil and gas fields worldwide that require greater use of compression equipment to maintain production levels; the increase in demand for electricity requiring greater use of power generation equipment; the increase in demand for natural gas that is driving growth in gas production, storage and transmission infrastructure; international regulatory and environmental initiatives, including clean fuel legislation and stricter emission controls; the aging installed base that is increasing demand for aftermarket parts and services, overhauls and upgrades; and the increased outsourcing of equipment maintenance and operation.

Segment information

We have two reportable segments based on the engineering and production processes, and the products and services provided by each segment as follows:

 

1) New units are highly engineered solutions to new requests from clients and include standardized equipment such as engines and single stage turbines. The segment includes engineering, manufacturing, sales and administrative support.

 

2) Aftermarket parts and services consist of support solutions for the existing population of installed equipment and the operation and maintenance of several types of energy plants. The segment includes engineering, manufacturing, sales and administrative support.

Table of Contents

Unallocated amounts represent expenses and assets that cannot be assigned directly to either reportable segment because of their nature. Unallocated net expenses include certain corporate expenses, and research and development expenses. Assets that are directly assigned to the two reportable segments are trade accounts receivable, net inventories, and goodwill. Unallocated assets include cash, prepaid expenses and other, deferred taxes, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets.

Results of Operations

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, our results were impacted by various events outside of the ordinary course of business as follows: (a) the acquisition of Guascor whose results are reflected in our operating results from the date of acquisition, and for which, we incurred non-recurring integration and transaction related expenses, (b) accelerated deferred financing fee amortization and early redemption premiums in connection with terminating our old credit facility, entering into a new credit facility, and refinancing our Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, (c) a flood at our Wellsville facility, which delayed shipments beyond September 30, 2011, and (d) political instability in the Middle East and North Africa, principally Libya, which resulted in lower revenue in our aftermarket parts and services segment. To the extent applicable to the period discussed, the effects of these events are explained further in the following discussions of operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Total revenues. Total revenues were $630.5 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $483.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $147.4 or 30.5%. The highly engineered nature of our worldwide products and services does not easily lend itself to reasonably measure the impact of price, volume and mix on changes in our total revenues from period to period. Nevertheless, based on factors such as measures of labor hours and purchases from suppliers, volume was higher during the three months ended September 30, 2011, than the three months ended September 30, 2010. Volumes increased overall as a result of improving global economic conditions following the severe recession. This increase was partially offset by lower volumes in the Middle East, principally Libya, as a result of political instability in the region. The aforementioned impacts on revenue exclude the increase in revenue resulting from the acquisition of Guascor, which increased revenues by approximately 20.7%.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales was $459.8 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $337.9 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was 72.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 69.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was principally caused by a less favorable mix resulting from the acquisition of Guascor.

Gross profit. Gross profit was $170.7 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $145.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 27.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 30.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit percentages declined principally for the reasons discussed above.

Table of Contents

Selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses were $89.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $73.5 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Selling and administrative expenses increased principally as a result of the acquisition of Guascor. As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 14.2% from 15.2%.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $8.6 compared to $6.4 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Research and development expenses increased in the three months ended September 30, 2011, principally as a result of the acquisition of Guascor. In addition, research and development expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2011, exceeded research and development expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as we continue to execute our strategy to introduce new and innovative products and technologies with a focus on key new product development initiatives for Integrated Compression Systems (“ICS”), Liquefied Natural Gas (“LNG”) and steam turbines, as well as expanding the portfolio of projects focused on product enhancements.

Operating income. Operating income was $72.5 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $65.3 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $7.2. As a percentage of revenues, operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was 11.5%, compared to 13.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease as a percentage of revenues was principally attributable to the factors discussed above.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $13.7 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $8.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense is attributable to incremental borrowings incurred in connection with accelerated stock acquisition programs and the acquisition of Guascor, as well as the debt assumed in the acquisition of Guascor.

Other (expense) income, net. Other expense, net was $0.5 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to other income, net of $2.5 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Other (expense) income, net, excluding Guascor, consists principally of net currency gains and losses. Guascor had approximately $1.5 of other expense in the three months ended September 30, 2011 which was comprised of net currency gains and losses, gains and losses on emission rights, and the adjustment of certain social tax liabilities arising from changes in circumstances after the date of the acquisition.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes was $17.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $22.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Our estimated income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% because of different tax rates in foreign tax jurisdictions and certain deductions and credits allowable for income tax purposes, partially offset by state and local income taxes and valuation allowances on net operating loss carryforwards that more likely than not will not be realized. We will adjust valuation allowances in the future when it becomes more likely than not that the benefits of deferred tax assets will be realized.

Non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest includes the share of net income and net losses in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by us.

Bookings and backlog. Bookings for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $1,170.7 compared to $360.5 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $810.2 or 224.7%. Generally, oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions that affect the oil and gas industry have an impact on our business over an extended period of time. On a quarterly or annual basis, however, there is typically not a meaningful correlation of those factors to our periodic financial results. Fluctuations in revenues and bookings are generally due to the variable timing and size of very large orders in the new units segment, which is typical in the oil and gas industry. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company was awarded compression equipment and services valued at more than $700.0, which includes up to 80 DATUM compressor trains that will be installed on eight replicant floating, production, storage and offloading (“FPSO”) vessels. In the three months ended September 30, 2011, approximately $410.0 and $60.0 have been reflected in the Company’s new units and aftermarket bookings, respectively, in accordance with the Company’s bookings policy. Bookings and backlog also increased approximately 32.8% and 4.2%, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Guascor. Backlog was $2,724.2 at September 30, 2011, compared to $1,738.0 at September 30, 2010.

New Units

Revenues. New units revenues were $292.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $251.3 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $41.3 or 16.4%. The highly engineered nature of new units products does not easily lend itself to reasonably measure the impact of price, volume and mix on changes in our new units revenues from period to period. Nevertheless, based on factors such as measures of labor hours and purchases from suppliers, volume was higher during the three months ended September 30, 2011, than the three months ended September 30, 2010. Volumes increased overall as a result of improving global economic conditions following the severe recession. The aforementioned impacts on revenue exclude the acquisition of Guascor, which increased revenues by approximately 10.8%. Cycle times of our highly engineered solutions from order entry to completion for products in this segment are currently averaging 12 to 15 months. Cycle times of our standardized equipment are currently averaging four to six months.

Gross profit. Gross profit was $55.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $54.7 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit, as a percentage of segment revenues, was 19.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 21.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decline in gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues is principally the result of a less favorable mix of projects associated with the acquisition of Guascor.

Operating income. Operating income was $29.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $32.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of segment revenues, operating income was 10.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 13.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of segment revenues was principally attributable to the factors discussed above.

Bookings and Backlog. New units bookings for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $732.1 compared to $125.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Generally, oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions that affect the oil and gas industry have an impact on our business over an extended period of time. On a quarterly or annual basis, however, there is typically not a meaningful correlation of those factors to our periodic financial results. Fluctuations in the revenues and bookings of the new units business are generally due to the variability in timing of very large orders in this segment, which is typical in the oil and gas industry. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded new unit bookings of approximately $410.0 relating to an order for up to 80 DATUM compressor trains that will be installed on eight replicant FPSO vessels. Bookings and backlog also increased approximately 37.0% and 5.1%, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Guascor. The backlog was $2,180.2 at September 30, 2011, compared to $1,384.4 at September 30, 2010.

Aftermarket Parts and Services

Revenues. Aftermarket parts and services revenues were $337.9 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $231.8 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $106.1 or 45.8%. We experienced an increase in volumes as a result of improving global economic conditions following the severe recession and a 31.4% increase in volumes attributable to the acquisition of Guascor. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes in the Middle East, principally Libya, resulting from political instability in the region. Elapsed time from order entry to completion in this segment typically ranges from one day to 12 months, depending on the nature of the product or service.

Gross profit. Gross profit was $115.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $90.5 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2011, of 34.1% declined from 39.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2010, principally as a result of a less favorable mix of projects associated with the acquisition of Guascor.

Operating income. Operating income was $68.6 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $55.2 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of segment revenues, operating income decreased to 20.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, from 23.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of revenues is principally attributable to the factors discussed above.

Bookings and Backlog. Bookings for the three months ended September 30, 2011, were $438.6, compared to $235.4 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Generally, oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions that affect the oil and gas industry have an impact on our business over an extended period of time. On a quarterly or annual basis, however, there is typically not a meaningful correlation of those factors to our periodic financial results. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded aftermarket bookings of approximately $60.0 relating to services in connection with an order for up to 80 DATUM compressor trains that will be installed on eight replicant FPSO vessels. Bookings and backlog increased approximately 30.6% and 0.8%, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Guascor. Backlog was $544.0 at September 30, 2011, compared to $353.6 at September 30, 2010.

Total revenues. Total revenues were $1,573.6 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1,416.4 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $157.2 or 11.1%. The highly engineered nature of our worldwide products and services does not easily lend itself to reasonably measure the impact of price, volume and mix on changes in our total revenues from period to period. Nevertheless, based on factors such as measures of labor hours and purchases from suppliers, volume was higher during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, than the nine months ended September 30, 2010, principally as a result of the acquisition of Guascor. The volume increase was partially offset

 

27


Table of Contents

by lower volumes in the Middle East, principally Libya, resulting from political instability in the region, and lower volumes resulting from a flood in our Wellsville facility. Additionally, we experienced competitive pricing in our new units segment during the period, resulting from a greater focus on capital expenditure costs by clients.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales was $1,157.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $985.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales was 73.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 69.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of revenues is the result of cost inflation and the mix of projects associated with the acquisition of Guascor.

Gross profit. Gross profit was $416.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $430.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit was 26.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 30.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit percentages declined primarily for the reasons discussed above.

Selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses were $266.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $219.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Selling and administrative expenses increased approximately 19.2% as a result of the acquisition of Guascor, including approximately $14.9 of non-recurring transaction and integration costs. The remaining increase in selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was principally attributable to cost inflation. As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses increased to 16.9% from 15.5% as a result of these factors.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $20.7 compared to $19.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Research and development expenses increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, principally as a result of the acquisition of Guascor, partially offset by the timing of expenditures. We expect research and development expenditures for the full year to exceed 2010 research and development expenditures as we continue to execute our strategy to introduce new and innovative products and technologies with a focus on key new product development initiatives for ICS, LNG and steam turbines, as well as expanding the portfolio of projects focused on product enhancements.

Operating income. Operating income was $129.6 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $192.6 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $63.0. As a percentage of revenues, operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was 8.3%, compared to 13.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was principally attributable to the factors discussed above.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $44.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $24.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense is attributable to incremental borrowings incurred in connection with our accelerated stock acquisition programs and the acquisition of Guascor, as well as the debt assumed in the acquisition of Guascor. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, also includes $8.5 of accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees as a result of terminating our previous senior secured credit facility and executing the cash tender offer to purchase our then-outstanding 7 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes.

Early redemption premium on debt. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred a prepayment premium of $10.1 as a result of executing the cash tender offer to purchase our then-outstanding 7 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes.

Other income (expense), net. Other income, net was $1.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to other expense, net of $14.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Other income (expense), net, excluding Guascor, consists primarily of net currency gains and losses. Approximately $2.9 of other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was attributable to Guascor which was comprised of net currency gains and losses, gains and losses on emission rights, and the adjustment of certain social tax liabilities arising from changes in circumstances after the date of the acquisition. As a result of the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar on January 8, 2010, the Company recorded a non-deductible foreign exchange loss in its Consolidated Statement of Income of approximately $13.6, which adversely affected the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes was $25.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and $58.8 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our estimated income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% because of different tax rates in foreign tax jurisdictions and certain deductions and credits allowable for income tax purposes, partially offset by state and local income taxes and valuation allowances on net operating loss carryforwards that, more likely than not, will not be realized. We

will adjust valuation allowances in the future when it becomes more likely than not that the benefits of deferred tax assets will be realized. Tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes approximately $1.0 associated with an uncertain tax position in one of our foreign subsidiaries as it is more likely than not that the Company’s position will not be sustained upon examination through any appeals or litigation processes. In addition to these impacts to the effective tax rate, the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar discussed above resulted in an additional 3.7% increase in our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Non-controlling interest. Non-controlling interest includes the share of net income and losses in consolidated entities that are not 100% owned by us.

Bookings and backlog. Bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $2,296.8 compared to $1,483.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $813.8 or 54.9%. Generally, oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions that affect the oil and gas industry have an impact on our business over an extended period of time. On a quarterly or annual basis, however, there is typically not a meaningful correlation of those factors to our periodic financial results. Fluctuations in the revenues and bookings are generally due to the variability in timing of very large orders in the new units segment, which is typical in the oil and gas industry. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company was awarded compression equipment and services valued at more than $700.0, which includes up to 80 DATUM compressor trains that will be installed on eight replicant FPSO vessels. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, approximately $410.0 and $60.0 have been reflected in the Company’s new units and aftermarket bookings, respectively, in accordance with the Company’s bookings policy. Bookings and backlog increased approximately 13.8% and 4.2%, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Guascor. Backlog was $2,724.2 at September 30, 2011, compared to $1,738.0 at September 30, 2010.

New Units

Revenues. New units revenues were $739.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $704.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $34.9 or 5.0%. The highly engineered nature of new units products does not easily lend itself to reasonably measure the impact of price, volume and mix on changes in our new units revenues from period to period. Nevertheless, based on factors such as measures of labor hours and purchases from suppliers, new units volume was higher during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to volumes during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Volumes increased principally as a result of the Guascor acquisition. Additionally, we experienced competitive pricing during the period in our new units segment, resulting from a greater focus on capital

expenditure costs by clients. Cycle times of our highly engineered solutions from order entry to completion for products in this segment are currently averaging 12 to 15 months. Cycle times of our standardized equipment are currently averaging four to six months.

Gross profit. Gross profit was $140.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $164.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit, as a percentage of segment revenues, was 18.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 23.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The reduction in gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues was the result of cost inflation, an unfavorable mix of projects, and a change in mix resulting from the acquisition of Guascor.

Operating income. Operating income was $65.0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $101.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of segment revenues, operating income was 8.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 14.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in operating income and operating income as a percentage of segment revenues resulted principally from the factors discussed above.

Bookings and Backlog. New units bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $1,274.2 compared to $730.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Generally, oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions that affect the oil and gas industry have an impact on our business over an extended period of time. On a quarterly or annual basis, however, there is typically not a meaningful correlation of those factors to our periodic financial results. Fluctuations in the revenues and bookings are generally due to the variability in timing of very large orders in the new units segment, which is typical in the oil and gas industry. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded new units bookings of approximately $410.0 relating to an order for up to 80 DATUM compressor trains that will be installed on eight replicant FPSO vessels. Bookings and backlog increased approximately 12.0% and 5.1%, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Guascor. The backlog was $2,180.2 at September 30, 2011, compared to $1,384.4 at September 30, 2010.

Aftermarket Parts and Services

Revenues. Aftermarket parts and services revenues were $834.6 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $712.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $122.3 or 17.2%. We experienced an increase in volumes principally attributable to the Guascor acquisition, which was partially offset by lower volumes in the Middle East, principally Libya, resulting from political instability in the region. Elapsed time from order entry to completion in this segment typically ranges from one day to 12 months, depending on the nature of the product or service.

Gross profit. Gross profit was $276.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $266.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit as a percentage of segment revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, of 33.1% declined from 37.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as a result of cost inflation, a less favorable mix of revenues, and a change in mix resulting from the acquisition of Guascor.

Operating income. Operating income was $143.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $159.2 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As a percentage of segment revenues, operating income decreased to 17.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, from 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in operating income and operating income as a percentage of segment revenues resulted primarily from the factors discussed above.

Bookings and Backlog. Bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $1,022.6, compared to $752.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Generally, oil prices and other macroeconomic conditions that affect the oil and gas industry have an impact on our business over an extended period of time. On a quarterly or annual basis, however, there is typically not a meaningful correlation of those factors to our periodic financial results. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded aftermarket bookings of approximately $60.0 relating to services in connection with an order for up to 80 DATUM compressor trains that will be installed on eight replicant FPSO vessels. Bookings and backlog increased approximately 15.7% and 0.8%, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of Guascor. Backlog was $544.0 at September 30, 2011, compared to $353.6 at September 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (€ in millions)

Current Liquidity

As of September 30, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $147.1 and the ability to borrow $242.8 under the $600.0 revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), as $180.7 was used for outstanding letters of credit and $176.5 of borrowings was outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In addition to these letters of credit, $168.7 of letters of credit and bank guarantees was outstanding at September 30, 2011, which were issued by banks offering uncommitted lines of credit. Effective October 4, 2011, the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility agreed to the Company’s request pursuant to the terms thereof to increase the total commitments under the revolving credit facility by $100.0 to $700.0. Although there can be no assurances, based on our current and anticipated levels of operations and conditions in our markets and industry, we believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility will be adequate to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, interest payments and other funding requirements for the business within the next 12 months and our long-term future contractual obligations. At September 30, 2011, approximately $147.5 of our cash was held outside of the United States. At September 30, 2011, we estimate that approximately $74.9 of our cash is not available for general corporate use because such earnings have been permanently reinvested. At September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with our debt covenants.

Sources and Uses of Liquidity

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $78.8 compared to $258.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as a result of lower net income and a higher level of working capital. Accounts receivable declined principally as a result of collections in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In the aggregate, we have also received a higher amount of customer advances and progress payments in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, that are generally associated with new units bookings and the funding of expenditures on inventory. These working capital improvements have been more than offset by higher levels of inventory that is building in advance of its ultimate shipment. Accounts payable and accruals have increased principally as a result of the timing of payments. In addition, we made $28.8 of pension contributions in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, in accordance with our funding policy.

Net cash used in investing activities was $324.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $82.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cash from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes the acquisition of Guascor, which we closed on May 4, 2011. The Company paid approximately $304.9 in cash ($283.5 net of cash acquired) and delivered 5,033,172 shares of Dresser-Rand common stock at closing. The SPA includes an adjustment to the purchase price based on the difference in net debt (debt less cash) as defined in the SPA and net debt as of the date of closing that could take up to 270 days from the date of closing to settle.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, includes $44.7 related to the acquisitions of Leading Edge Turbine Technologies, Inc. and Turbo Machines Field Services (Pty) Ltd. as well as the payment of $24.1 of contingent consideration associated with the 2008 acquisition of Peter Brotherhood Ltd.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes capital expenditures of $38.8, which is higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as a result the acquisition of Guascor and principally related to the installation of engines in energy plants.

In February 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a non-controlling interest in Echogen Power Systems, LLC (“Echogen”), a privately held technology development company that is developing and commercializing power generation systems that harness waste heat for power and cooling applications. The Company also received an option to acquire the outstanding shares of Echogen, which expires February 24, 2013, and certain broad license rights in certain of the Company’s key industries. The Company will pay Echogen a royalty based on future equipment sales in these markets. Commercialization is anticipated to begin in 2012. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company made an initial investment of $5.0 in February 2011 and a $1.3 license fee payment, and made an additional investment of $5.0 and an additional $0.7 license fee payment in July 2011. The $10.0 investment resulted in an ownership interest in Echogen of approximately 20%. In accordance with the agreement, Echogen has the right, from time to time, to issue capital call notices to the Company up to an additional $10.0 in the aggregate. The Company is permitted to decline to fund a capital call, but failure to fund any such capital call accelerates the option expiration date to the later of February 24, 2012, or the date that the Company declines to fund.

The Company is required to maintain sinking funds associated with certain of the borrowings assumed in the acquisition of Guascor generally based on the short-term debt service requirements of such borrowings. Sinking fund requirements totaled $28.2 and have been classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet.

Net cash used in financing activities was $29.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $61.7 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes the cash effect of the accelerated stock acquisition programs and debt refinancing activities discussed below, as well as incremental borrowings associated with the acquisition of Guascor.

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, includes $63.3 of repurchased common stock in connection with the February 12, 2010 Board of Directors approved stock repurchase plan.

On February 10, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $450.0 of the Company’s common stock. On August 26, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors further authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 of the Company’s common stock, including amounts authorized on February 10, 2011, but not yet used to repurchase common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company entered into three accelerated stock acquisition programs. Upon the completion of the stock acquisition programs, the full amount of common stock authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors had been repurchased. The repurchases were funded from operating cash flows and borrowings under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The total number of shares purchased was determined by dividing the purchase price by the volume-weighted average trading prices of our shares of common stock during the applicable valuation period, minus a fixed discount. The plans were executed as follows:

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On March 15, 2011, the Company and certain of its foreign subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”), and terminated its existing credit facility. The obligations of the Company under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by mortgages on certain real and other property and are guaranteed by certain material domestic subsidiaries of the Company (the “Domestic Guarantors”). The obligations of the French subsidiary borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company, the Domestic Guarantors and the direct French subsidiary of such French borrower. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes $2.1 of accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees as a result of terminating our previous senior secured credit facility. In connection with entering into the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company incurred fees of $9.5, which are being amortized under the effective interest method over the term of the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility currently consists of a $700.0 revolving credit facility and a $400.0 term loan facility. Effective October 4, 2011, the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility agreed to the Company’s request pursuant to the terms thereof to increase the total commitments under the revolving credit facility by $100.0. The term loan facility provided for an initial draw in the amount of $160.0 and one additional delayed draw of up to the remaining $240.0 commitment, which was initiated by the Company as a Euro-based term loan on May 17, 2011. At the end of each quarter commencing June 30, 2012, the term loan facility requires the Company to make principal payments equal to one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) of the term loan balance outstanding immediately following the end of the delayed draw availability period. Voluntary prepayments may be used to satisfy mandatory principal payments. Any principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility and term loan facility is due and payable in full at maturity on March 15, 2016. At September 30, 2011, term loan borrowings totaled $340.7 and there was $176.5 in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The Company had issued $180.7 of letters of credit under the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2011. In addition to these letters of credit, $168.7 of letters of credit and bank guarantees were outstanding at September 30, 2011, which were issued by banks offering uncommitted lines of credit.

Table of Contents

Revolving and term loan borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, at either (a) a rate equal to an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, plus a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for the offering of deposits in U.S. dollars (or with respect to Euro-denominated borrowings only, the costs of funds for the offering of deposits in Euros) for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs or (b) a rate equal to an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio plus a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (1) the rate that the administrative agent announces from time to time as its base commercial lending rate, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus  1/2 of 1% and (3) the adjusted LIBOR rate for a one month period plus 1%.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments at a rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company will also pay letter of credit fees equal to an applicable margin then in effect with respect to LIBOR loans under the revolving credit facility on the face amount of each financial letter of credit, and a rate ranging from 1.20% to 1.65% per annum on the face amount of each performance letter of credit.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires that certain net proceeds related to asset sales, to the extent not reinvested in assets used or useful in the Company’s business within one year, be used to pay down the outstanding balance. The Company may voluntarily prepay outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary brokerage costs. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains normal and customary covenants including the provision of periodic financial information, financial covenants (including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio), and certain other limitations governing, among others, such matters as the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens on assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions or mergers, dispose of assets, make capital expenditures, engage in transactions with affiliates, make amendments to documentation for the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes that would be materially adverse to lenders, and pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides for customary events of default.

Senior Subordinated Notes

On March 8, 2011, the Company announced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its $370.0 in aggregate principal amount of then-outstanding 7 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes, which would have matured on November 1, 2014. The tender offer provided total consideration to those tendering on or before March 21, 2011, equal to the principal amount of the notes plus 2.8%, and accrued interest. Approximately $291.3 of notes were tendered in the tender offer and were subsequently repurchased by the Company. On March 23, 2011, the Company announced the redemption of all of the remaining 7 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes at the call price of 102.458% of the face amount of notes. This redemption was completed on April 22, 2011. Following the redemption, the 7 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are no longer outstanding. In connection with the redemption, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded non-operating expense of approximately $10.1, for early redemption premiums. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes $6.4, of accelerated amortization of deferred financing fees as a result of redeeming the 7 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes.

On March 22, 2011, the Company issued $375.0 in aggregate principal amount of new Senior Subordinated Notes, which bear interest at a rate of 6 1/2% per annum. The new notes will mature on May 1, 2021. The Company may redeem any of the notes beginning on May 1, 2016, at a redemption price of 103.250% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest. The redemption price will decline each year after 2016 and will be 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, beginning on May 1, 2019. Prior to May 1, 2016, the Company may redeem the notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued interest. Prior to May 1, 2014, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the notes with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 106.5% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued interest. In connection with issuing the 6  1/2 % Senior Subordinated Notes, the Company incurred fees of $3.7, which are being amortized under the effective interest method over the term of the notes.

All of the new Senior Subordinated Notes are general unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of the Company’s material domestic subsidiaries and rank junior to the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The new Senior Subordinated Notes contain customary covenants including certain limitations and restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends and make distributions in respect of capital stock, redeem capital stock, make investments or certain other restricted payments, sell assets, issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries, enter into transactions with affiliates and effect consolidations or mergers.

The dividends and distributions covenant under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility allows the Company to pay dividends on or repurchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire for value, it’s outstanding shares in an aggregate amount not to exceed the sum of $200.0 plus 50% of the Company’s net income for the period commencing January 1, 2010, and ending on the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The limitation on shares to be repurchased under this covenant excludes the accelerated stock acquisition programs that were executed on March 15 and March 22, 2011.

New accounting standards

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2010-28, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. ASU 2010-28 modifies step one of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and offers guidance on when to perform step two of the testing. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform step two of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists based upon factors such as unanticipated competition, the loss of key personnel and adverse regulatory changes. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On January 1, 2011, the Company adopted ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations, which updates the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. ASU 2010-29 clarifies that pro forma disclosures should be presented as if a business combination occurred at the beginning of the prior annual period for purposes of preparing both the current reporting period and the prior reporting period pro forma financial information. These disclosures should be accompanied by a narrative description about the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments. The adoption of ASU 2010-29 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 generally modify ASC 820 to clarify that the highest and best use concept only applies to nonfinancial assets and provides specific requirements for measuring instruments recorded in shareholders’ equity. In addition, ASU 2011-04 added requirements for (1) measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed within a portfolio, (2) applying discounts and premiums in fair value measurements, and (3) disclosing further information about Level 3 fair value measurements, a reporting entity’s use of non-financial assets, and the categorization of items that are not measured at fair value when fair value is required to be disclosed. ASC 820 results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of ASU 2011-04 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or fair value measurements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which amends ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. The new guidance removes the presentation options in ASC 220 and requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of comprehensive income or with two separate but consecutive statements. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments do not require any transition disclosures. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will result only in a change in the Company’s presentation of comprehensive income, which is currently presented in its consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity in its Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the notes to its consolidated financial statements in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing both public and nonpublic entities with the option of performing a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. ASU 2011-08 permits an entity to choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its reporting units. An entity may also bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to step one of the quantitative impairment test, and then perform the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The revised standard includes examples of events and circumstances that might indicate that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, including macroeconomic conditions, such as deterioration in general economic conditions, entity-specific events, such as declining financial performance, and other events, such as an expectation that a reporting unit will be sold. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. An entity can choose to adopt early the revised standard even if its annual test date is before September 15, 2011, provided that the entity has not yet issued its financial statements for the period that includes its annual test date. The Company has not adopted ASU 2011-08 early, and does not expect ASU 2011-08 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-09, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Multiemployer Plans. ASU 2011-09 is intended to provide more information about an employer’s financial obligations to a multiemployer pension plan in order to help financial statement users better understand the financial health of all of the significant plans in which the employer participates. Additional disclosures required by ASU 2011-09 include: (1) the significant multiemployer plans in which an employer participates, including the plan names and identifying number; (2) the level of an employer’s participation in the significant multiemployer plans, including the employer’s contributions and their significance to the plan; (3) the financial health of significant multiemployer plans, including an indication of the funded status and whether funding improvement plans are pending or implemented; and (4) the nature of the employer’s commitments to each multiemployer plan, including those specified in collective-bargaining agreements. The revised standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, with a one year deferral for non-public entities. Early adoption is permitted and retrospective application will be required. The Company has not adopted ASU 2011-09 early, and does not expect ASU 2011-09 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK ($ and in millions)

Our results of operations are affected by fluctuations in the value of local currencies in which we transact business. We record the effect of translating our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as they exist at the end of each month. The effect on our results of operations of fluctuations in currency exchange rates depends on various currency exchange rates and the magnitude of the transactions completed in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Generally, weakening of the U.S. dollar improves our reported results when the local currency financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements and the strengthening of the U.S. dollar impacts our results negatively. We enter into financial instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on transactions when we deem appropriate. The net foreign currency (losses) gains recognized for currency transactions, forward currency contracts and re-measuring monetary assets and liabilities was ($4.5) and ($3.6) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $2.7 and ($15.4), respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, and were included in other income (expense), net. The Venezuelan government has devalued the bolivar a number of times, including a devaluation on January 8, 2010. Foreign currency losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, included approximately $13.6 as a result of this devaluation.

The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize the economic impact of unexpected fluctuations in interest rates on the lease of its compressor testing facility in France. The interest rate swap has a notional amount of €18.0 (approximately $24.1) and effectively converts substantially the entire interest component of the lease from a variable rate of interest to a fixed rate of interest of approximately 3.87%. The interest rate swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes, and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. The fair value of the interest rate swap and the related unrealized loss was $0.6 at September 30, 2011.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2011. We acquired Grupo Guascor, S.L. (“Guascor”) on May 4, 2011, and Guascor’s total assets and revenues constituted 29.9% and 11.1%, respectively, of our related consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As the acquisition occurred in the second quarter of 2011, we excluded Guascor’s internal control over financial reporting from the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. This exclusion is in accordance with the SEC’s general guidance that an assessment of a recently-acquired business may be omitted from our scope in the year of acquisition. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ($ and € in millions)

We are involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, arising in the normal course of business. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are regularly reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. We are indemnified by our former owner, Ingersoll Rand Company Limited, for certain of these matters as part of Ingersoll Rand’s sale of the Company. While adverse decisions in certain of these litigation matters, claims and administrative proceedings could have a material effect on a particular period’s results of operations, subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities and the benefit of the indemnity from Ingersoll Rand, management believes that any future accruals, with respect to these currently known contingencies, would not have a material effect on the financial condition, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.

Painted Post Labor Litigation

In November of 2007, Local 313 of IUE-CWA, the union that represents certain employees at the Company’s Painted Post facility (the “IUE”) made an offer to have its striking members return to work under the terms of the previously expired union agreement. The Company rejected that offer and locked out these represented employees. Approximately one week later, after reaching an impasse in negotiations, the Company exercised its right to implement the terms of its last contract offer, ended the lockout, and the employees represented by the IUE agreed to return to work under the implemented terms. Subsequently, the IUE filed several unfair labor practice (“ULP”) charges against the Company with Region 3 of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), asserting multiple allegations arising from the protracted labor dispute, its termination, contract negotiations and related matters.

Region 3 of the NLRB decided to proceed to complaint on only one-third of the ULP allegations asserted by the IUE, while the remaining claims were dismissed. Notably, the NLRB found that many of the critical aspects of the Company’s negotiations with the IUE were handled appropriately, including the NLRB’s findings that the union’s strike was not an unfair labor practice strike and the Company’s declaration of impasse and its unilateral implementation of its last offer were lawful. The Company, therefore, continued to operate under a more contemporary and competitive implemented contract offer while contract negotiations with the IUE continued in 2008 and 2009. In November 2009, a collective bargaining agreement between the IUE and the Company was ratified, which agreement expires in March 2013. As a result, the Company was not required to make available the retiree medical benefits which the Company eliminated in its implemented last contract offer. The Company recognized a non-cash curtailment amendment gain of $18.6 in other comprehensive income in December 2007 that was amortized over 36 months beginning January 2008, as a result of the elimination of those benefits.

The claims that proceeded to complaint before the NLRB included the Company’s handling of the one week lockout, the negotiation of the recall process used to return employees to the facility after reaching impasse and lifting the lockout, and the termination of two employees who engaged in misconduct on the picket line during the strike. The trial of this matter took place before a NLRB Administrative Law Judge (the “ALJ”) in Elmira and Painted Post, N.Y. during the summer of 2009. On January 29, 2010, the ALJ issued his decision in which he found in favor of the union on some issues and upheld the Company’s position on others. The Company continues to believe it complied with the law with respect to these allegations. While management believes it should ultimately prevail with respect to these ULP allegations, several levels of appeal may be necessary. The litigation process, including appeals if elected by either party, could reasonably take 3 to 5 years and potentially even longer to resolve with finality. Given the broad scope of possible remedies that may apply pursuant to conflicting case law, the Company cannot estimate the range of loss at this time. Although the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be ascertained at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

U.K. Pension Plan

During July 2009, the Company received notification from the current plan trustees of one of its subsidiaries’ pension plans in the United Kingdom that sex equalization under the plan may have been achieved later than originally expected. The third-party trustee at the time action was taken believes that it had taken the appropriate steps to properly amend the plan as originally expected. The Company has accrued $4.9 to address contingent exposure regarding this dispute over potential unequal treatment of men and women under the pension plan related to a period in the 1990s and is exploring its rights against others.

Enviroil Litigation

In March 1998, Enviroil Italia, S.p.A. (“Enviroil”), which became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company upon the acquisition of Grupo Guascor, S.L. in May 2011, entered into an agreement with the Italian Ministry of Economic Development (“MISE”) to construct a plant in Gela, Italy for the production of heating gasoil from exhausted oil. In August 2007, following the completion of construction and upon commencement of the operation of the plant, an accident

occurred and the plant’s operations were discontinued. In November 2008, Enviroil proposed converting the plant into a facility for the manufacturing of solar panels, and this proposal was rejected by MISE. In January 2010, MISE issued a decree declaring Enviroil in default of the agreement and ordering Enviroil to reimburse MISE the approximately €7.0 paid to Enviroil under the agreement, as well as sanctions, interest and other related costs. Enviroil initiated a proceeding in the Court of Caltanissetta requesting an order to suspend the effect of the MISE decree primarily based on Enviroil’s proposed conversion of the plant. The Court of Caltanissetta rejected Enviroil’s request by order issued in October 2010, and following an appeal by Enviroil, issued a second order in December 2010 denying the appeal. In June 2010, while the proceedings in the Court of Caltanissetta were still pending, Enviroil also initiated proceedings before the Lazio Administrative Court requesting the revocation of the MISE decree. These proceedings are still pending. In March 2011, Enviroil appealed the decree directly with MISE through an administrative procedure, and has engaged in settlement negotiations with MISE.

Although the ultimate outcome of these pending settlement negotiations and judicial and administrative proceedings cannot be ascertained at this time, the Company has recorded an accrual based on its assessment of the potential liability with respect to this matter. It is the opinion of management that, in light of the Company’s right to be indemnified under the SPA by the sellers of Guascor for losses incurred in connection with this matter, the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities ($ in millions except per share amounts)

On February 10, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $450.0 of the Company’s common stock. On August 26, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors further authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 of the Company’s common stock, including amounts authorized on February 10, 2011, but not yet used to repurchase common stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company entered into three accelerated stock acquisition programs. Upon the completion of the stock acquisition programs, the full amount of common stock authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors had been repurchased. The repurchases were funded from operating cash flows and borrowings under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. The total number of shares purchased was determined by dividing the purchase price by the volume-weighted average trading prices of our shares of common stock during the applicable valuation period, minus a fixed discount. The plans were executed as follows:
