PART I

ITEM 1. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Gorman-Rupp Company (the “Company” or “Gorman-Rupp”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, from which related information herein has been derived.

NOTE B - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C - INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The costs for approximately 73% of inventories at June 30, 2015 and 75% of inventories at December 31, 2014 are determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, with the remainder determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method applied on a consistent basis. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimate of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

The major components of inventories are as follows (net of LIFO reserves of $59.4 million and $57.9 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively):

Balance at end of period	$	1,196		$	1,119

NOTE E - PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (“Plan”) covering certain domestic employees. Benefits are based on each covered employee’s years of service and compensation. The Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable U.S. regulations. The Plan was closed to new participants effective January 1, 2008. Employees hired after this date, in eligible locations, participate in an enhanced 401(k) plan instead of the defined benefit pension plan. Employees hired prior to this date continue to accrue benefits. Additionally, the Company sponsors defined contribution pension plans made available to all domestic and Canadian employees.

The Company also sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit health care plan that provides health benefits to certain domestic and Canadian retirees and their spouses. The Company funds the cost of these benefits as incurred.

During the second quarter of 2015 the Company recorded a non-cash settlement loss relating to retirees that received lump-sum distributions from the Company’s defined benefit pension plan totaling $1.5 million. This charge was the result of lump-sum payments to retirees which exceeded the plan’s actuarial service and interest cost threshold for 2015.

The following tables present the components of net periodic benefit cost:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

The Gorman-Rupp Company is a leading designer, manufacturer and international marketer of pumps and pump systems for use in diverse water, wastewater, construction, dewatering, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire protection, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), military and other liquid-handling applications. The Company attributes its success to long-term product quality, applications and performance combined with timely delivery and service, and continually develops initiatives to improve performance in these key areas.

Gorman-Rupp actively pursues growth opportunities through organic growth, international business expansion and acquisitions.

We continually invest in training for our employees, in new product development and in modern manufacturing equipment, technology and facilities all designed to increase production efficiency and capacity and drive growth by delivering innovative solutions to our customers. We believe that the diversity of our markets is a major contributor to the relatively stable financial growth we have produced over the past 80 plus years.

Due to recent increased retirements and a related surge in lump sum pension payments, the Company recorded a GAAP-required $1.5 million non-cash pension settlement charge during the second quarter of 2015 relating to its defined benefit pension plan of which $959,000 related to cost of products sold and $493,000 related to selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect that a non-cash charge will recur during the remainder of this year as additional expected retirements occur. The rate of retirements was less in 2014 and in the first quarter of 2015 and a settlement charge was not required in those periods.

Net sales during the second quarter of 2015 were $103.9 million compared to $109.7 million during the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of 5.3%. Gross profit was $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2015, resulting in gross margin of 23.2% compared to 24.5% for the same period in 2014. Operating income was $9.9 million, resulting in operating margin of 9.5% for the second quarter of 2015 compared to an operating margin of 12.2% for the same period in 2014. Net income was $6.6 million during the second quarter of 2015 compared to $8.9 million in the second quarter of 2014 and earnings per share were $0.25 and $0.34 for the respective periods. The quarter’s gross profit and operating income margin declines were due principally to the sales volume decreases from 2014 to 2015, and the non-cash pension settlement charge described above of 100 and 140 basis points, respectively.

Net sales during the first six months of 2015 were $203.1 million compared to a record $219.8 million during the same period last year, a decrease of 7.6%. Gross profit was $48.1 million for the first six months of 2015, resulting in gross margin of 23.7% compared to 24.8% for the same period in 2014. Operating income was $20.5 million, resulting in operating margin of 10.1% for the first six months of 2015 compared to an operating margin of 12.8% for the same period in 2014. Net income was $13.9 million during the first six months of 2015 compared to $18.8 million in the same period last year and earnings per share were $0.53 and $0.72 for the respective periods. The first half’s gross profit and operating income margin declines were due principally to the sales volume decreases from the records of 2014 to 2015, and the non-cash pension settlement charge described above of 40 and 70 basis points, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – CONTINUED

The Company’s backlog of orders was $144.2 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $173.8 million a year ago and $160.7 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease in backlog from a year ago is due principally to record shipments during the second half of 2014, approximately $30.8 million related to the Permanent Canal Closures and Pumps (“PCCP”) project, and a decline in order rates due to inconsistent economic conditions in most markets. Approximately $27.4 million of orders related to the PCCP project remain in the June 30, 2015 backlog total. Approximately $18.7 million of the remaining PCCP project orders are scheduled to ship during the last half of 2015 and $8.7 million of related installation services are scheduled during the first three quarters of 2016.

The Company places a strong emphasis on cash flow generation and having excellent liquidity and financial flexibility. This focus has afforded us the ability to continually reward shareholders with increased dividends, reinvest our cash resources and preserve a strong balance sheet to position us for future opportunities. Net capital expenditures for 2015, consisting primarily of machinery and equipment, a new operations facility in Ireland and other building improvements, are currently estimated to be in the range of $11 to $13 million and are expected to be financed through internally generated funds.

On July 23, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $ 0.10 per share, representing the 262nd consecutive quarterly dividend to be paid by the Company. During 2014, the Company again paid increased dividends and thereby attained its forty-second consecutive year of increased dividends. These consecutive years place Gorman-Rupp in the top 50 of all U.S. public companies with respect to number of consecutive years of increased dividend payments.

The Company currently expects to continue its exceptional history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent upon our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.

The Company is pleased with Patterson Pump Company’s performance on the PCCP project, for which shipments of the large flood control pumps for New Orleans began in 2014, and expect it to be an even larger contributor this year. When completed, this flood control project is anticipated to be one of the largest such projects in the world. Also, 2015 results will be the first full fiscal year that includes the operations of Bayou City Pump Company, which we acquired in June 2014 and adds market diversity for our petroleum handling products and services.

Outlook

The business environment in most of the markets we serve has improved since the economic downturn in 2008 and 2009 as the U.S. economy has steadily recovered from the recession. However, the recent economic impacts of the rapid decline in oil and natural gas prices and related production has had a substantive negative affect on our construction, rental and industrial pumps markets, and indirectly impacted most of our other markets. Additionally, the strong U.S. dollar has worked against our export sales, and lower commodity prices combined with unseasonably wet weather conditions in most parts of the country negatively impacted agricultural sales. Despite this, the Company expects that fire and municipal pump sales will continue to improve gradually and our portion of the New Orleans PCCP flood control project will remain on schedule for the remainder of this year and 2016. Although these strong headwinds may well continue for several more quarters, the Company intends to remain focused on our long-term track record of solid organic growth combined with strategic acquisition opportunities.

Generally we believe that the Company is well positioned to grow organically at historically comparable sales growth rates and operating margins over the long term by expanding our customer base both domestically and globally, and through new product offerings. We expect that the well-publicized increasing need for water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation within the United States, and even greater needs internationally, especially in emerging economies, along with increasing demand for pumps and pump systems for industrial and agricultural applications, will provide excellent growth opportunities for Gorman-Rupp in the future.

Second Quarter 2015 Compared to Second Quarter 2014

Net Sales

	Three Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2015		2014		$ Change			% Change
Net sales	$	103,892	$	109,728	$	(5,836	)		(5.3	)%

Sales in the water end markets were comparable between periods as they increased approximately $700,000 or 1.0%. The change includes increased sales in the fire protection market of $8.2 million due to both higher international sales of $5.7 million to Middle-Eastern and Pacific-Rim countries and domestic sales of $2.5 million driven primarily by product sold for the now-halted Keystone pipeline. This increase was offset by lower sales in the construction market, including rental sales, of $3.9 million due primarily to the decline in drilling of oil and gas in North America. Sales in the municipal market decreased $2.2 million driven by lower sales of large volume pumps for wastewater and water supply projects, despite increased shipments related to the PCCP project of $9.1 million. Also, sales decreased in the agricultural market $1.8 million primarily due to depressed domestic farm income in 2015 and unseasonably wet weather conditions in most locations domestically.

Sales decreased $6.5 million in non-water markets primarily due to lower sales in the OEM market of $5.1 million related to power generation equipment and pumps for military applications. Sales in the petroleum market decreased approximately $900,000 due primarily to lower international shipments.

Domestic sales decreased 10.8% or $8.4 million principally due to lower sales in the construction, agriculture and OEM markets. International sales increased 7.9% or $2.5 million principally due to higher sales in the fire protections market. Of the total decrease in net sales in the second quarter of 2015 of $5.8 million, $2.1 million or 36.2% of the decrease was due to unfavorable foreign currency translation.

In addition, labor and overhead increased as a percent of net sales due to volume decreases from 2014 to 2015 and health care expense increased 39 basis points. Cost of material was lower as a percent of net sales primarily due to product mix.

Net sales	$	203,125	$	219,792	$	(16,667	)		(7.6	)%

Sales decreased $8.5 million in the water end markets due to lower sales in the construction market, including rental sales, of $8.2 million due primarily to the decline in fracking activity in North America and the global decline in oil and gas production, which affected both domestic and international sales. Sales in the municipal market decreased $3.9 million driven by lower sales of large volume pumps for wastewater and water supply projects, despite increased shipments related to the PCCP project of $16.5 million. Sales decreased in the agricultural market $4.8 million primarily due to depressed domestic farm income in 2015 and unseasonably wet weather conditions in most locations domestically. These decreases were offset by increased sales in the fire protection market of $6.7 million due to higher international sales to Middle-Eastern and Pacific-Rim countries.

Sales decreased $8.1 million in non-water markets primarily due to lower sales in the OEM market related to power generation equipment and pumps for military applications and residential appliances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2015
	2015			2014
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	17,514		$	11,983
Net cash used in investing activities		(4,070	)		(21,866	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		(11,252	)		8,941

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $26.2 million, and there was $6.0 million in outstanding bank debt at June 30, 2015. In addition, the Company had $24.4 million available in bank lines of credit after deducting $5.6 million in outstanding letters of credit primarily related to customer orders. The Company was in compliance with its nominal restrictive covenants, including limits on additional borrowings and maintenance of normal operating and financial ratios, at June 30, 2015.

Working capital rose $12.5 million from December 31, 2014 to a record $148.9 million at June 30, 2015 principally due to higher accounts receivable from June shipments related to the PCCP project and the re-payment of short-term debt of $6.0 million during the period.

The primary driver of operating cash flows during the first six months of 2015 was net earnings during the period combined with non-cash charges relating to depreciation and amortization and pension expense, offset by changes in working capital. During this same period in 2014 operating cash flows beyond net earnings were primarily driven by increased accounts receivable due to record sales during the period.

During the first six months of 2015, investing activities of $4.1 million primarily consisted of net capital expenditures for machinery and equipment and building improvements. Net capital expenditures for the full year of 2015, consisting principally of machinery and equipment, a new operations facility in Ireland and other building improvements, are estimated to be in the range of $11 to $13 million and are expected to be principally financed through internally generated funds. During the first six months of 2014, investing activities of $21.9 million consisted primarily of the purchase of Bayou City Pump Company and capital expenditures for machinery and equipment and building improvements.

Net cash used in financing activities for the first six months of 2015 consisted of dividend payments of $5.3 million and re-payment of $6.0 in short-term debt. During the first six months of 2014, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of the borrowing of $18.0 million to fund the acquisition of Bayou City Pump Company, offset by dividend payments of $4.7 million and re-payment of $4.3 million in short-term debt. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.6 to 1 at June 30, 2015 and 3.1 to 1 at December 31, 2014.

On July 23, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $ 0.10 per share on the common stock of the Company, payable September 10, 2015, to shareholders of record August 14, 2015. This marks the 262nd consecutive dividend paid by The Gorman-Rupp Company.

The Company currently expects to continue its distinguished history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
