GORMAN-RUPP REPORTS RECORD SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTH RESULTS

Mansfield, Ohio — July 26, 2007 — The Gorman-Rupp Company (AMEX:GRC) reports record earnings and sales for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007.

Net income during the second quarter of 2007 increased 18.9% to $6,538,000 compared to $5,499,000 for the same period in 2006. Net sales during the quarter increased 17.3% to $79,647,000 compared to $67,905,000 in 2006. Earnings per share for the second quarter 2007 were $0.49 compared to $0.41 during 2006.

Net income for the first six months of 2007 increased 15.9% to $11,630,000 compared to $10,037,000 during 2006. Net sales increased 14.2% to $154,108,000 during the first six months of 2007 compared to $134,992,000 during 2006. Earnings per share for the first six months of 2007 were $0.87 compared to $0.75 in 2006.

Record net income resulted from additional sales and corresponding improvement in manufacturing efficiencies during the quarter. The Company’s Mansfield Division and Patterson Pump Company subsidiary both reported strong sales of pumps and pump systems for water, wastewater and de-watering applications. Integration of Gorman-Rupp Europe B.V. into the Company continued during the quarter, providing expanded European market opportunities.

Patterson Pump Company completed on-time delivery in June of a $15.0 million pump order for a New Orleans flood control project.

The backlog of orders at June 30, 2007 was $98.0 million compared to the record $115.2 million at March 31, 2007. The decrease primarily reflects the record level of shipments during the quarter.

Jeffrey S. Gorman, President and CEO, stated, “We are extremely pleased with the record sales and earnings during the second quarter and first six months. 2007 is shaping up to be a very good year for Gorman-Rupp. Our product diversity in the fluid-handling markets, and related infrastructure, has produced very positive results both domestically and internationally”.
