Portions of the 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders (incorporated into Parts I and II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K). =============================================================================== 2 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL Gardner Denver Machinery Inc. ("Gardner Denver" or the "Company") believes, based on total sales in the United States, it is one of the leading manufacturers of stationary air compressors and blowers for industrial applications. Stationary air compressors are used in manufacturing, process applications and materials handling, and to power air tools and equipment. Blowers are used primarily in the pneumatic conveying of dry bulk materials, wastewater aeration and vacuum systems. Gardner Denver also believes that it is one of the leading manufacturers of petroleum pumps used in oil and gas production, well servicing, well stimulation, and oil and gas drilling. In 1997, Gardner Denver had revenues of $291.5 million, of which approximately 78 percent were derived from sales of compressed air products while approximately 22 percent were from sales of petroleum products. Approximately 73 percent of the total revenues in 1997 were derived from sales in the United States and approximately 27 percent were from sales to customers in various foreign countries. Of the total foreign sales, 34 percent were to Europe, 24 percent to Canada, 18 percent to Asia, 16 percent to Latin America and the remainder to Africa and Australia. HISTORY The Company's business of manufacturing industrial and petroleum equipment began in 1859 when Robert W. Gardner redesigned the fly-ball governor to provide speed control for steam engines. By 1900, the then Gardner Company had expanded its product line to include steam pumps and vertical high-speed air compressors. In 1927, the Gardner Company merged with Denver Rock Drill, a manufacturer of equipment for oil wells and mining and construction, and became the Gardner-Denver Company. In 1979, the Gardner-Denver Company was acquired by Cooper Industries, Inc. ("Cooper") and operated as 10 unincorporated divisions. Two of these divisions, the Gardner-Denver Air Compressor Division and the Petroleum Equipment Division, were combined in 1985 to form the Gardner-Denver Industrial Machinery Division (the "Division"). The OPI(R) pump product line was purchased in 1985 and added to the Division. In 1987, Cooper acquired the Sutorbilt(R) and DuroFlow(R) blower product lines and the Joy(R) industrial compressor product line, which were also consolidated into the Division. Effective December 31, 1993, the assets and liabilities of the Division were transferred by Cooper to the Company, which had been formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Cooper. On April 15, 1994, the Company was spun-off as an independent company to the shareholders of Cooper. Gardner Denver has completed a number of acquisitions since becoming an independent company. In 1996, Gardner Denver acquired NORAMPTCO, Inc., renamed Gardner Denver Holdings Inc. ("GDHI"), and its primary operating subsidiary Lamson Corporation ("Lamson"). Lamson designs, manufactures and sells multistage centrifugal blowers and exhausters used in various industrial and wastewater applications. Lamson's products complemented the Company's product offering by enabling it to participate in the centrifugal segment of the air and gas handling industry and in niche markets having lower noise requirements. 3 Also in 1996, the Company acquired TCM Investments, Inc. ("TCM"), an oil field pump manufacturer. This acquisition extended the Company's well stimulation pump product line, provided a physical presence in the oil field market and allowed Gardner Denver to become a sole source supplier of repair parts and remanufacturing services to some of the Company's customers. In 1997, the Company acquired Oy Tamrotor Ab ("Tamrotor"), located in Tampere, Finland. Tamrotor designs and manufactures lubricated rotary screw compressor air ends. The addition of Tamrotor provided the Company with a manufacturing base in Europe and growth opportunities through synergistic product lines and international market penetration. In January 1998, the Company acquired the assets of Geological Equipment Corporation ("Geoquip"), a manufacturer of pumps utilized in the oil and gas well servicing and water blast industries. Geoquip also remanufactures pumps and provides repair services for the industries it serves. The acquisition of Geoquip further strengthens Gardner Denver's market position in the well servicing industry and the Company's ability to serve key well stimulation customers. The Company also acquired the assets of Champion Pneumatic Machinery Company, Inc. ("Champion") in January 1998. Champion manufactures lubricated and oil-less single-acting, single and two-stage compressors for the industrial market, service support industry and consumer market. The acquisition of Champion provides Gardner Denver with a more complete product offering to penetrate the low horsepower compressor market and opens new markets and channels of distribution, such as the automotive service market and catalog sales. In March 1998, Gardner Denver acquired the Wittig Division of Mannesmann Demag A.G. ("Wittig"). Wittig, located in Schofpheim, Germany, manufactures rotary sliding vane compressors and vacuum pumps for use on tankers, bulk transporters and pneumatic handling systems. Wittig also manufactures distillation units for use in the treatment of factory wastewater. The acquisition of Wittig provides the Company with distribution channels for products developed specifically for the European market and local packaging and aftermarket capabilities for its compressor and blower products. MARKETS AND PRODUCTS Gardner Denver designs, manufactures and markets compressed air products and petroleum products. A description of the particular products manufactured and sold by Gardner Denver in its two industry segments is set forth below. Compressed Air Products Segment Gardner Denver designs, manufactures, markets and services a broad line of reciprocating compressors, rotary screw compressors, positive displacement blowers and centrifugal blowers to serve all aspects of the industrial market. Reciprocating compressors range from 5 to 900 horsepower and are sold under the Gardner Denver(R) trademark. Rotary screw compressors range from 5 to 500 horsepower and are sold under the Gardner Denver(R), Electra-Screw(R), Electra-Saver(R), and Twistair(R), Tamrotor(R), and Tempest(TM) trademarks. Blowers are used to produce a high volume of air at low pressures and vacuums. Centrifugal blowers produce a constant level of pressure and varying volumes of air flow. Positive 4 displacement blowers provide a constant volume of air flow at varying levels of pressure. The Company's positive displacement blowers range from 0 to 36 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG) and 0 to 35,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and are sold under the trademarks Gardner Denver(R), Sutorbilt(R), DuroFlow(R) and CycloBlower(R). The Company's multistage centrifugal blowers are sold under the tradename Lamson(R) and range from 0.5 to 25 PSIG and 100 to 50,000 CFM. Sales of compressed air products by Gardner Denver in 1997 were $228.2 million, of which approximately 73 percent were to customers in the United States. Almost all domestic manufacturing plants and industrial facilities, as well as many service industries, utilize air compressors and/or blowers. The largest markets for Gardner Denver's compressor products are durable goods manufacturers; process industries (petroleum, primary metals, pharmaceutical, food and paper); original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"); manufacturers of carpet cleaning equipment, pneumatic conveying equipment and dry bulk trailers; and wastewater treatment facilities. Manufacturers of machinery and related equipment use stationary compressors for automated systems, controls, materials handling and special machinery requirements. The petroleum, primary metals, pharmaceutical, food and paper industries require compressed air for process, instrumentation and control, packaging and pneumatic conveying. Blowers are instrumental to local utilities for aeration in treating industrial and municipal waste. Blowers are also used in service industries, for example, residential carpet cleaning to vacuum moisture from carpets during the shampooing and cleaning process. Blowers are used on trucks that vacuum leaves and debris from street sewers and to unload dry bulk and powder materials such as cement, grain and plastic pellets. Additionally, blowers are used in air separation processes. Petroleum Products Segment Gardner Denver designs, manufactures and markets a diverse group of pumps for oil and gas production, well servicing, well stimulation and oil and gas drilling markets. Positive displacement reciprocating pumps are marketed under the Gardner Denver(R), Ajax(R) and OPI(R) trademarks. Sales of petroleum products in 1997 were $63.3 million of which approximately 73 percent were to customers in the United States. Typical applications of Gardner Denver(R) pumps in oil and gas production include oil transfer, salt water disposal, ammine pumping for gas processing, repressurizing, enhanced oil recovery, hydraulic power and other liquid transfer applications. Gardner Denver's production pumps range from 16 to 1,000 horsepower and consist of horizontal and vertical designed pumps. Gardner Denver markets one of the most complete product lines of well servicing pumps. Well servicing operations include repair of downhole pumps and the replacement of tubing or wellhead equipment, general workover service, completions (bringing wells into production after drilling), and elimination or abandonment of wells. Gardner Denver's well servicing products consist of high pressure plunger pumps ranging from 165 to 880 horsepower. 5 Gardner Denver also manufactures fracturing pumps for well stimulation; duplex pumps for shallow drilling, including water well drilling, seismic drilling, mineral exploration and oil and gas drilling; and mud pumps for drilling rigs. A small portion of Gardner Denver(R) and Ajax(R) pumps are sold for use in industrial applications. Gardner Denver's fracturing pumps range from 25 to 2,400 horsepower. For financial information over the past three years on the Company's performance by industry segment and the Company's international sales, refer to Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Gardner Denver's 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders and incorporated herein by reference. CUSTOMERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE Gardner Denver sells its products through independent distributors and sales representatives and directly to OEMs, engineering firms and end users. Gardner Denver uses an employee sales force to service OEM and engineering firm accounts since these typically require more technical assistance, shipment scheduling and product service. In 1997, approximately 75 percent of Gardner Denver's products were sold through independent distributors and sales representatives, while the remaining 25 percent were sold direct to OEMs, engineering firms and end users. Because a majority of products are marketed through independent distribution, Gardner Denver is committed to developing and supporting its distribution network of over 200 distributors and representatives. Generally, the distributors of Gardner Denver's compressed air products do not handle competing products. Gardner Denver has a Master Distribution Center in Memphis, Tennessee that stocks parts, accessories and small compressor products in order to provide adequate and timely availability. Gardner Denver also provides its distributors with sales and product literature, technical assistance and training programs, advertising and sales promotions, order-entry and tracking systems and an annual restocking program. Gardner Denver participates in major trade shows and has a telemarketing department to generate sales leads and support the distributors' sales staffs. The Company's distributors maintain an inventory of complete units and parts and provide aftermarket service to end users. There are several hundred field service representatives for Gardner Denver products in the distributor network. Gardner Denver's service personnel and product engineers provide the distributors' service representatives with technical assistance and field training, particularly with respect to installation and repair of equipment. Gardner Denver also provides aftermarket support through its remanufacturing facility near Indianapolis, Indiana. This operation remanufactures and repairs air ends for rotary screw compressors, blowers and reciprocating compressors. Outside the United States, Gardner Denver markets its products through a network of sales representatives, as well as distributors and direct sales persons. As a result of the acquisition of Lamson and Tamrotor, the Company also operates a blower packaging operation in France and a compressor manufacturing and packaging facility in Finland. 6 COMPETITION Over 40 companies manufacture or market industrial air compressors in the United States. Of these, seven suppliers account for more than 80 percent of the domestic compressor market. Gardner Denver's principal competitors in the U.S. compressor market include Ingersoll-Rand, Sullair (a division of Sundstrand Corporation), Roots (a division of Dresser Industries, Inc.), Atlas-Copco, Quincy Compressor (a division of Coltec Industries) and CompAir. The principal competitors in the petroleum market include National-Oilwell, Wheatley/Gaso, Continental Emsco, and IRI International. Each of the Company's business segments has a strong reputation and the Company's trademarks are recognized both domestically and internationally. Demand for air compressors is dependent upon capital spending by manufacturing and process industries, and upon general economic conditions. Demand for petroleum products is tied to the number of working and available rigs and oil and gas prices. The principal competitive factors in all product markets are quality, performance, price and availability. The relative importance of each of these factors varies depending on the specific type of product. The air compressor market and the petroleum pump market are characterized by mature products, with steady and slow technological advances. Technological trends in the compressor market include development of oil-free air compressors, reduction of noise levels, and advanced control systems to upgrade the flexibility and precision of regulating pressure and capacity. Emerging compressor market niches result from new technologies in plastics extrusion, oil and gas well drilling, field gas gathering and air separation processes. Trends in the petroleum pump market include development of larger horsepower and lighter weight pumps. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company actively engages in a continuing research and development program. The Gardner Denver research and development centers are dedicated to various activities, including new product development, product performance improvement and new product applications. Gardner Denver's products are designed to satisfy the safety and performance standards set by various industry groups and testing laboratories. Care is exercised throughout the manufacturing and final testing process to ensure that products conform to industry, government and customer specifications. Gardner Denver has representatives on the American Petroleum Institute's working committee and the Company has relationships with standard enforcement organizations such as Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.), Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and the Canadian Standard Association (C.S.A.). The Company maintains ISO 9001 certification on the quality systems of manufacturing and design locations, excluding those of the subsidiaries acquired in 1996. Expenditures for research and development sponsored by the Company were $2.8 million in 1997, $2.4 million in 1996 and $1.3 million in 1995. 7 MANUFACTURING Gardner Denver has seven manufacturing facilities that conduct a broad variety of processes. At its manufacturing locations, the Company maintains advanced manufacturing, quality assurance and testing equipment geared to the specific products that it manufactures, and uses extensive process automation in its manufacturing operations. Most of the manufacturing facilities utilize computer aided numerical control tools and manufacturing techniques that concentrate the equipment necessary to produce similar products in one area of the plant (cell manufacturing). One operator using cell manufacturing can monitor and operate several machines, as well as assemble and test products made by such machines, thereby improving operating efficiency and product quality while reducing the amount of work-in-process and finished product inventories. RAW MATERIALS The primary raw materials used by Gardner Denver are cast iron and steel. Such materials are generally available from a number of suppliers. With one exception, the Company does not currently have long-term contracts with its suppliers of raw materials, but believes that its sources of raw materials are reliable and adequate for its needs. As part of the sale of its foundry in LaGrange, Missouri in December 1995, the Company signed a five-year agreement with the new owner for the supply of cast iron products. The Company has not experienced any significant supply problems in its operations and does not anticipate any significant supply problems in the foreseeable future. BACKLOG The Company's backlog was approximately $91 million at December 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $47 million at December 31, 1996 and approximately $31 million at December 31, 1995. This increase in backlog is attributable to the significant increase in demand for petroleum products related to the growth in oil and gas well drilling and servicing, continued expansion of the U.S. economy and new niche market applications which strengthened demand for compressor products, and the addition of the backlog from the acquisition completed in 1997. Backlog consists of product orders for which a customer purchase order has been received or communicated and which are scheduled for shipment within 12 months. Since orders may be rescheduled or cancelled, backlog does not necessarily reflect future sales levels. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY The Company believes that the success of its business depends more on the technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees than on any individual patent, trademark or copyright. Nevertheless, as part of its ongoing research, development and manufacturing activities, the Company has a policy of seeking appropriate patents concerning new products and product improvements. 8 Although in the aggregate patents and trademarks are of considerable importance to the manufacturing and marketing of many of its products, the Company does not consider any single patent or trademark or group of patents or trademarks to be material to its business as a whole, except for the Gardner Denver(R) trademark. Other important trademarks used by Gardner Denver include DuroFlow(R), Sutorbilt(R), CycloBlower(R), Lamson(R), Tamrotor(R) and OPI(R). Joy(R) is a registered trademark of Joy Technologies, Inc. Gardner Denver has the right to use the Joy(R) trademark on aftermarket parts until November 2027. The Company's right to use this trademark on air compressors expired in November 1995. Pursuant to trademark license agreements, Cooper has rights to use the Gardner Denver(R) trade-mark for certain power tools and Gardner Denver has rights to use the Ajax(R) trademark for petroleum pumps. Gardner Denver has registered its trademarks in the countries where it is deemed necessary. The Company also relies upon trade secret protection for its confidential and proprietary information. The Company routinely enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees. There can be no assurance, however, that others will not independently obtain similar information and techniques or otherwise gain access to the Company's trade secrets or that the Company can effectively protect its trade secrets. EMPLOYEES As of February 21, 1998, the Company had approximately 1,600 full-time employees, of which approximately 425, including most of the employees in Finland, were represented by labor unions. In March 1997, the Company and the union at the Quincy plant executed a five-year labor contract. In May 1995, prior to its acquisition by Gardner Denver, Lamson experienced a three week work stoppage at its facility in Syracuse, New York. The Company believes its current relations with employees are good. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS The Company is subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the storage, handling, emission and discharge of materials into the environment. The Company believes that its existing environmental control procedures are adequate and it has no current plans for substantial capital expenditures in this area. Gardner Denver has an environmental policy that confirms its commitment to a clean environment and to compliance with environmental laws. Gardner Denver has an active environmental management program aimed at compliance with existing environmental regulations and developing methods to eliminate or significantly reduce the generation of pollutants in the manufacturing processes. The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") with respect to six sites designated for cleanup under federal "Superfund" or similar state laws, which impose liability for cleanup of certain waste sites and for related natural resource damages. Persons potentially liable for such costs and damages generally include the site owner or operator and persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at those 9 sites. Although these laws impose joint and several liability, in application, the PRPs typically allocate the investigation and cleanup costs based upon the volume of waste contributed by each PRP. Based on currently available information, Gardner Denver was only a small contributor to four of these waste sites and has received de minimus settlements for their cleanup. The Company has an accrued liability on its balance sheet to the extent costs are known or can be estimated for its remaining cleanup responsibilities. Based upon consideration of currently available information, the Company does not anticipate any materially adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws or regulations or cleanup costs relating to the sites discussed above. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES As of December 31, 1997, Gardner Denver has seven manufacturing plants, one distribution center, four warehouses, a packaging operation and numerous sales offices. The significant facilities are as follows:
Owned Location Facility Type Sq. Feet or Leased -------- ------------- -------- --------- Quincy, Illinois Executive Office & Sales 600,000 Owned Office; Manufacturing - petroleum and compressor products Sedalia, Missouri Manufacturing - 325,000 Owned compressor products Syracuse, New York Manufacturing - 250,000 Owned compressor products Tulsa, Oklahoma Manufacturing - 46,000 Owned petroleum products Tulsa, Oklahoma Remanufacturing - 12,500 Leased petroleum products Fishers, Indiana Remanufacturing - 60,000 Leased compressor products Memphis, Tennessee Distribution Center 98,000 Owned and Warehouse Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Sales Office and 8,000 Owned Warehouse Bezons, France Packaging and Warehouse 6,270 Leased Tampere, Finland Manufacturing 27,300 Leased compressors Helsinki, Finland Sales Office and 1,121 Leased Warehouse
10 The Sedalia, Missouri facility was previously leased from the City of Sedalia, Missouri in connection with industrial revenue bond financing. The Company exercised its option to purchase the property at a nominal price when the bonds were repaid in March 1997. The Syracuse, New York facility was leased from the Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency, also in connection with industrial revenue bond financing. The Company purchased the property at a nominal price when the bonds were repaid in November 1997. The Company also owns a 25,000 square foot facility in El Cajon, California, which was acquired as part of the purchase of GDHI. This facility is currently idle and offered for sale. In 1997, the Company announced it would close its Syracuse, New York facility and relocate the manufacture of the centrifugal blower product line to a newly constructed site in Peachtree City, Georgia. The new plant is scheduled to be operating by fourth quarter of 1998, at which time the Syracuse plant will be shut down. The Company leases sales office space in various U.S. locations and foreign countries, and warehouse space in Quincy and Singapore. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is a party to various legal proceedings and administrative actions; all but one of which are of an ordinary or routine nature incidental to the operations of the Company. On June 23, 1995, the Dresser-Rand Company and Bernard Zimmern filed suit in the Circuit Court of the Eighth Judicial Circuit of Adams County Illinois, against Cooper and Gardner Denver, alleging misappropriation of trade secrets and interference with contractual relations in connection with research and development of single screw design technology and its related manufacturing techniques. The suit requests $4.7million in compensatory damages and an unspecified amount in punitive damages. In 1995, the plaintiffs' allegation of tortious interference with contractual relations was dismissed as a result of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. In 1996, the court found that attorneys' fees incurred by the plaintiffs in prior litigation, and requested by the plaintiffs as compensatory damages in this litigation, were not recoverable. These attorneys' fees constituted a large portion of the damages requested in the plaintiffs' complaint. Mr. Zimmern is no longer a plaintiff in this litigation. As part of the spin-off of the Company from Cooper, the Company agreed to indemnify Cooper for losses incurred in this type of lawsuit. The parties are engaged in settlement discussions and management of the Company does not believe the ultimate resolution of this legal action will have an adverse impact on the results of operations or the financial condition of the Company. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS During the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report, no matters were submitted to a vote of the stockholders. 11 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF REGISTRANT The executive officers of the Company, their positions with the Company, business history and certain other information, as of March 16, 1998, are set forth below.

(the "Gardner Denver Division"). Essentially, all of the assets and liabilities of the Gardner Denver Division were transferred to Gardner Denver Machinery Inc. ("Gardner Denver" or the "Company") at December 31, 1993. In 1994, through April 15, Gardner Denver Machinery Inc. was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cooper Industries, Inc. As such, the first quarter expenses were lower than if Gardner Denver had been a stand-alone company. In 1994, the Company had nonrecurring expenses related to the discontinuance of product lines, write-off of goodwill and reserve for the sale of the Company's foundry. During 1993, when the Company operated as the Gardner Denver Division, there was no capital stock outstanding. Earnings per share have been adjusted for two stock splits effected in the form of stock dividends in 1997. See Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
12 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto. Overview The Company's operations are organized into two separate business segments - Compressed Air Products and Petroleum Products. In the Compressed Air Products segment, the Company manufactures stationary rotary screw and reciprocating air compressors and blowers for industrial applications. The largest markets for Gardner Denver's compressors and blowers are durable goods manufacturers; process industries such as petroleum, primary metals, pharmaceuticals, food and paper; original equipment manufacturers; manufacturers of carpet cleaning equipment, pneumatic conveying equipment and dry bulk trailers; and wastewater treatment facilities. Revenues of the Compressed Air Products segment constituted approximately 78% of total revenues in 1997. In the Petroleum Products segment, the Company manufactures pumps used in oil and gas production, well servicing and stimulation, and oil and gas drilling. Typical applications include oil transfer, salt water disposal, ammine pumping for gas processing, enhanced oil recovery, hydraulic power, and other liquid transfer requirements. Revenues of the Petroleum Products segment constituted approximately 22% of total revenues in 1997. The Company sells approximately 75% of its products through independent distributors and sales representatives and the remainder directly to original equipment manufacturers, engineering firms and end users. In 1997, Gardner Denver completed the acquisition of Oy Tamrotor Ab ("Tamrotor"). Tamrotor, formerly a subsidiary of Tamrock Corp., is located in Tampere, Finland, and designs and manufactures lubricated rotary screw compressor air ends. The addition of Tamrotor provides Gardner Denver with a manufacturing base in Europe, as well as market penetration in several European compressor markets. The acquisition provides growth opportunities through synergistic product lines and international market penetration. The Petroleum Products segment again had significant growth in 1997 due to the increased demand for products used in improved recovery techniques in the oil and gas industry, including the Company's high pressure pumps. The profitability of the segment continued to improve in 1997 due to cost reductions, leveraging of fixed costs and price increases. Excluding the incremental revenue from the acquisition of TCM Investments, Inc. ("TCM") in 1996, petroleum products revenues increased 70.2% during 1997 on the strength of the petroleum market, while operating earnings improved to 20.9% of revenues. In 1996, Gardner Denver completed two acquisitions and experienced significant revenue growth in the Petroleum Products segment. The first acquisition was NORAMPTCO, Inc. (renamed Gardner Denver Holdings Inc.), including its primary operating subsidiary, Lamson Corporation ("Lamson"), based in Syracuse, New York. Lamson designs, manufactures and sells multistage centrifugal blowers and exhausters used in various industrial and wastewater applications. The acquisition complemented the Company's product offering by enabling it to participate in the centrifugal segment of the air and gas handling industry. In addition, since centrifugal blowers operate at reduced noise levels, the acquisition allowed the Company to compete in niche markets having lower noise requirements. This acquisition is included in the Company's Compressed Air Products segment. The second 1996 acquisition was TCM, an oil field pump manufacturer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This acquisition further extended the Company's product line in well stimulation pumps, provided a physical presence in the oil field market and allowed Gardner Denver to become a sole source supplier of repair parts and remanufacturing services to some of the Company's customers. TCM is included in the Company's Petroleum Products segment. Performance in the Petroleum Products segment improved significantly in 1996. Excluding revenues from the TCM acquisition in 1996 and the drilling components product line which the Company sold in 1995, petroleum products revenues increased 29.8% in 1996 compared to 1995. The following table sets forth percentage relationships to revenues of certain income statement items for the years presented. 13 3 Gardner Denver Machinery Inc.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 Revenues Revenues for 1997 increased $73.5 million or 33.7% over 1996 to $291.5 million. Revenues in the Compressed Air Products segment improved 21.4% to $228.2 million, while revenues in the Petroleum Products segment increased 111.3% to $63.3 million. Revenues included approximately $48.7 million attributable to the incremental revenues from three acquisitions which the Company has completed since August 1996. Excluding incremental revenues from acquisitions, revenues increased approximately $24.8 million (11.4%) for the year, compared to 1996, due to significant growth in oil and gas well drilling and servicing, and continued expansion of the U.S. economy which strengthened demand for compressor products. Revenues in the Compressed Air Products segment increased $40.2 million in 1997. Acquisitions generated approximately $36.4 million of the increase. Excluding the incremental revenues from acquisitions, revenues for this segment increased 2.0% in 1997 compared to the previous year, primarily due to price increases. Price increases were implemented in 1997 for most products in the Compressed Air Products segment, generally offsetting cost increases. Selected volume increases resulted from expansion of industrial investment and niche compressor applications in the petroleum industry. The order backlog as of December 31, 1997 for the Company's compressor products, excluding acquisitions, increased 34.0% to $49.7 million, compared to the previous year. In the Petroleum Products segment, revenues increased 111.3% to $63.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, as compared to 1996. Incremental revenues from acquisitions generated $12.3 million of the $33.3 million increase in revenues. Significant price increases were implemented in this segment in 1997. The remaining revenue increase resulted from volume growth in oil and gas well drilling and well servicing activity. The order backlog for the Company's petroleum products, as of December 31, 1997, increased 246.8% to $32.6 million, compared to the previous year. Costs and Expenses Gross margins (defined as revenues less cost of sales) increased $30.1 million or 43.1% to $99.9 million in 1997 compared to 1996, as a result of the additional sales volume. Incremental gross margin due to the acquisitions accounts for $17.5 million of the increase. As a percentage of revenues, gross margins increased from 32.0% in 1996 to 34.3% in 1997. In 1997, gross margins were enhanced $1.2 million as a result of the liquidation of LIFO inventory layers, compared to $2.0 million in 1996. The Lamson acquisition positively affected the gross margin percentage, since its products are sold by commissioned sales representatives rather than through distributors which resell to the end user, resulting in higher mark-ups. Excluding the acquisition of Lamson and LIFO income, gross margin as a percentage of revenues improved from 30.6% in 1996 to 33.3% in 1997. The higher gross margin as a percentage of revenues was a result of the combined effects of cost reduction efforts such as manufacturing process improvements, leverage of fixed costs over higher volume and price increases. Manufacturing process improvements included programs to reduce set-up, improve quality, reduce rework and improve production flow. Programs were also put in place in 1996 and 1997 to reduce costs for purchased parts used in the Company's products. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.6 million in 1997 from 1996 levels. Depreciation expense increased $0.8 million in 1997 compared to 1996, primarily as a result 14 4 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of acquisitions. Excluding acquisitions, depreciation declined $0.4 million, as additional assets became fully depreciated. Amortization expense increased $0.8 million or 29.2% from the prior year, primarily due to amortization of goodwill related to 1996 and 1997 acquisitions. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization declined from 3.7% in 1996 to 3.3% in 1997, due to the effect of higher revenues. Selling and administrative expenses increased by 32.4% to $39.9 million for 1997 from $30.2 million in 1996. As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses decreased from 13.8% in 1996 to 13.7% in 1997. Newly acquired operations accounted for approximately $5.8 million of the $9.7 million increase. The remainder of the increase is due primarily to higher manpower levels and an increase in travel and purchased services, most of which is related to the increased revenues and integration of the acquisitions. Operating earnings for the Compressed Air Products segment increased 27.0% over 1996 to $38.6 million. As a percentage of revenues, operating earnings were 16.9% in 1997, compared to 16.2% in 1996. The increase was due to additional revenues and improved manufacturing efficiencies. The Petroleum Products segment had operating earnings of $13.2 million in 1997, compared to $2.3 million in 1996. The Company was able to leverage its manufacturing operations and obtain significant price increases as a result of the increased demand for petroleum products, resulting in operating earnings of 20.9% of petroleum products revenues, compared to 7.5% in 1996. Interest expense for 1997 increased $0.8 million to $3.9 million due to incremental debt incurred for the acquisitions and higher average interest rates. Interest rates on the Company's long-term debt in 1997 averaged 7.3% compared to 7.1% in 1996. The higher interest rate is primarily due to the $35 million senior note issued in September 1996 at a fixed rate of approximately 7.3% and the assumption of a fixed rate industrial development bond as part of one of the acquisitions. See Note 9 of the Notes to Financial Statements for further information on the Company's borrowing arrangements. Income Income before taxes increased $17.8 million, from $28.4 million to $46.2 million, or 62.3%. Approximately $6.8 million of this improvement was provided by the incremental impact of the acquisitions, net of goodwill amortization and interest expense on debt incurred to complete the acquisitions. The remaining $11.0 million increase is primarily a result of incremental revenues, improved gross margin and lower interest expense (excluding debt related to acquisitions) in 1997 compared to the previous year. Income tax expense increased $7.0 million from 1996 to $18.5 million, a 60.4% increase, as a result of the incremental income before taxes. The Company's effective tax rate in 1997 was 40.1% compared to 40.6% in 1996. The lower effective tax rate in 1997 is due to the tax savings from the Foreign Sales Corporation (the "FSC"), the lower statutory tax rate in Finland compared to the U.S., and the implementation of other tax strategies, partly offset by an increase in nondeductible goodwill related to the acquisitions. See Note 11 of the Notes to Financial Statements. Net income increased $10.7 million, or 63.6%, to $27.7 million for 1997 compared to $16.9 million for 1996. The increase in net income included approximately $3.1 million incremental after tax income from the acquisitions in 1997 compared to 1996, offset by $0.5 million less in after tax LIFO income in 1997 compared to 1996. Excluding LIFO income and incremental income from acquisitions, net income increased $8.2 million (51.8%) for the year due to revenue growth and process improvements in manufacturing operations. On a per share basis, diluted earnings increased $0.63 (56.8%) to $1.74 in 1997, compared to $1.11 in the previous year. Excluding LIFO income and incremental income from acquisitions, diluted earnings per share increased $0.47 (45.6%) in 1997 compared to the previous year. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 Revenues Revenues for 1996 increased $26.5 million or 13.8% over 1995 to $218.0 million. Revenues in the Compressed Air Products segment improved 9.4% to $188.0 million, while revenues in the Petroleum Products segment increased 52.8% to $30.0 million. Revenues included approximately $24.3 million attributable to the August 1996 acquisitions of Lamson and TCM. Revenues for 1995 included approximately $5.1 million from sales of castings and drilling components, which did not recur in 1996 since the Company's foundry and drilling components product line were sold in the fourth quarter of 1995. Excluding revenues from these acquisitions from 1996 and sales of castings and drilling components from 1995, revenues increased approximately $7.3 million (3.9%) from 1995 to 1996. Revenues in the Compressed Air Products segment increased $18.7 million in 1996 due to the acquisition of Lamson, while the sale of the LaGrange foundry in 1995 resulted in a $4.3 million reduction in revenues. Excluding revenues from the acquisition in 1996 and casting sales in 1995, revenues increased approximately $1.7 million (1.0%) to $169.3 million for 1996 from $167.6 million for 1995. Unit volume increases for reciprocating compressors and aftermarket products contributed to the increase as industrial demand remained steady and penetration of niche markets favorably impacted revenues. However, screw compressor volume declined slightly from the unusually high levels experienced in 1995, offsetting 15 5 Gardner Denver Machinery Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the reciprocating compressor and aftermarket volume increases. Price increases were implemented for most products in 1996, contributing to revenue improvement. In the Petroleum Products segment, revenues increased $5.6 million in 1996 due to the acquisition of TCM, while the sale of the drilling components business in 1995 reduced revenues by $0.8 million. Excluding revenues from the acquisition in 1996 and drilling component sales in 1995, revenues increased approximately $5.6 million (29.8%) to $24.4 million for 1996 from $18.8 million in 1995 due to higher volume of drilling and high pressure well stimulation pumps, aftermarket products and selected price increases. The increased volume was directly related to the improved economics of oil and gas exploration and production. With higher oil and natural gas prices in 1996, which remained relatively stable during the year, oil and gas drilling and production began to increase, resulting in a corresponding increase in demand for products used for drilling, well servicing and production. Costs and Expenses Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased $15.3 million or 11.5% to $148.2 million as a result of the additional sales volume. As a percentage of revenues, cost of sales decreased from 69.4% in 1995 to 68.0% in 1996. In 1996, cost of sales were reduced $2.0 million as a result of the liquidation of LIFO inventory layers, compared to a reduction of $2.5 million in 1995. Excluding LIFO income, cost of sales as a percentage of revenues improved from 70.7% in 1995 to 68.9% in 1996. The lower cost of sales as a percentage of revenues was a result of the combined effects of cost reduction efforts, manufacturing efficiency improvements, leverage of fixed costs over higher volume and price increases. Manufacturing efficiency improvements resulted from continuous improvement programs to reduce set-up, improve quality, reduce rework and improve production flow. Programs were also put in place in 1995 and 1996 to reduce costs for purchased parts used in the Company's products. The Lamson acquisition positively affected the cost of sales percentage, since its products are sold by commissioned sales representatives rather than through distributors which resell to the end user, resulting in higher mark-ups. Depreciation and amortization declined $0.2 million in 1996 from 1995 levels, as additional assets became fully depreciated and new assets were not added to fully offset the reduction. Depreciation expense declined $0.7 million in 1996 compared to 1995 as a result of the disposal of the foundry assets upon the completion of the sale in 1995. This reduction was more than offset by depreciation and amortization expense related to the acquisitions. Amortization increased $0.6 million or 29.0% from the prior year, primarily due to amortization of goodwill related to 1996 acquisitions. As a percentage of revenues, depreciation and amortization declined from 4.3% in 1995 to 3.7% in 1996, due to the combined effects of higher revenues and the reduction in depreciation and amortization as discussed. Selling and administrative expenses increased by 17.7% to $30.2 million for 1996 from $25.6 million in 1995. As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses increased from 13.4% in 1995 to 13.8% in 1996. This increase was due in part to the Lamson acquisition, which has higher selling costs due to commissions paid to agents and sales representatives. Selling and administrative expenses were reduced in 1996 by approximately $1.4 million as a result of the amortization of actuarial gains and plan amendments for other postretirement employee benefits ("OPEB") compared to a reduction of $1.0 million in 1995. See Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements. In 1996, professional fees associated with acquisition activities totaled approximately $0.4 million. In 1995, selling and administrative expenses included $0.7 million related to the early extinguishment of a long-term debt agreement. Excluding the impact of acquisitions in 1996, the net annual OPEB expense and the cost related to the early extinguishment of debt in 1995, selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues were 13.9% in 1996 compared to 13.6% in 1995. Compressed Air Products segment operating earnings, before interest and an allocation of general corporate expenses, increased 9.2% over 1995 operating earnings to $30.4 million. The Petroleum Products segment had operating earnings of $2.3 million in 1996, compared to an operating loss in 1995 of $1.4 million. Interest expense for 1996 decreased $1.8 million to $3.1 million due to lower floating interest rates under a new credit agreement and lower debt levels through the first seven months of 1996 (prior to borrowings required for acquisitions). Interest rates on the Company's long-term debt in 1996 averaged 7.1% compared to 8.7% in 1995. The average interest rate decline in 1996 compared to 1995 was due to a reduction in the interest rate of approximately two percentage points after the refinancing under a new credit agreement effective November 30, 1995. This reduction was partially offset by the Company's unsecured note agreement effective September 1996 which has a fixed interest rate of 7.3%. See Note 9 of the Notes to Financial Statements for further information on the Company's borrowing arrangements. Income Income before taxes increased $8.6 million, from $19.8 million to $28.4 million, or 43.5%. Approximately $2.2 million of this improvement was provided by the acquisitions, with the remaining $6.4 million increase primarily a result of incremental revenue volume, improved gross margin and lower interest expense in 1996 compared to the previous year. Additionally, income before taxes was 16 6 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- reduced by $0.7 million in 1995 due to expenses related to the early extinguishment of a long-term debt agreement. Income tax expense increased $3.3 million from 1995 to $11.5 million, a 40.2% increase, as a result of the incremental income before taxes. The Company's effective tax rate in 1996 was 40.6% compared to 41.5% in 1995. The lower effective tax rate in 1996 is due to the tax savings from the FSC and the implementation of other tax strategies, partly offset by an increase in nondeductible goodwill related to the acquisitions. See Note 11 of the Notes to Financial Statements. Net income increased $5.3 million, or 45.8%, to $16.9 million for 1996 compared to $11.6 million for 1995. In 1996, net income included approximately $1.2 million after tax from the acquisitions and approximately $1.2 million after tax in income from reductions in LIFO inventory layers. Net income for 1995 included approximately $1.6 million after tax in income from reductions in LIFO inventory layers and $0.4 million after tax in expenses related to the early extinguishment of debt. Excluding net income provided by acquisitions and LIFO inventory layer reductions, and after tax expenses related to the early extinguishment of debt, net income increased $4.1 million (39.4%) in 1996 compared to 1995. This increase was primarily a result of incremental revenue volume, improved gross margin and lower interest expense in 1996 compared to 1995. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Operating Working Capital During 1997, operating working capital (defined as receivables plus inventories, less accounts payable and accrued liabilities) increased $5.1 million to $52.2 million. Receivables increased $14.8 million since the end of 1996, of which $6.4 million was due to the acquisition of Tamrotor. Excluding Tamrotor, receivables increased $8.4 million due to higher revenues in 1997 compared to 1996 and the timing of sales within the fourth quarter of 1997. Inventories increased $0.4 million since the end of 1996. Without the impact of the Tamrotor acquisition, inventories declined $4.7 million due to reductions in petroleum inventory as a result of increased customer demand, and improved inventory turnover as programs to reduce raw materials and finished goods inventories took effect. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $10.1 million from the balance at the end of 1996. Tamrotor accounted for $5.7 million of the increase. The remaining increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was primarily a result of increased capital expenditures and expenses. Cash Flows During 1997, the Company generated cash flows from operations totaling $42.1 million. These cash flows enabled the Company to expend $9.8 million on capital expenditures, including capitalized software, and make an acquisition for $26.2 million. Net cash used by financing activities totaled $2.7 million. The cash balance increased $0.2 million to $8.8 million at the end of the year. Capital Expenditures and Commitments Capital projects to reduce product costs, improve product quality, increase manufacturing efficiency and operating flexibility, improve management information systems and expand production capacity resulted in expenditures of $9.8 million in 1997, compared with $4.2 million in 1996, and $3.3 million in 1995. Part of the increase in expenditures in 1997 was related to a project to install an integrated management information system. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures will increase to approximately $20 million in 1998, primarily due to the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Peachtree City, Georgia. In 1997, the Company announced that it would close its blower manufacturing plant in Syracuse, New York, and consolidate operations at its new Georgia site. The new plant should be operating by the fourth quarter of 1998, at which time the Syracuse plant will be shut down. The Company expects to spend approximately $7.0 million in capital for the new facility and plans to issue industrial revenue bonds in 1998 in connection with this project. Additionally, expenditures will be made to improve manufacturing processes at newly acquired businesses and purchase several large machine tools to increase capacity, quality and flexibility in manufacturing compressor and petroleum products. At December 31, 1997, commitments for capital expenditures amounted to $9.7 million. Capital expenditures related to environmental projects have not been significant in the past and are not expected to be significant in the foreseeable future. LIQUIDITY General During 1997, the Company utilized a revolving line of credit providing for an aggregate $65.0 million borrowing capacity (the "Credit Line"). On December 31, 1997, the Credit Line had an outstanding balance of $15.0 million, leaving $50.0 million available for future use. The Credit Line requires no principal payments during the term of the agreement. Principal repayment is due at termination in the year 2000. The Company has outstanding $35.0 million of unsecured senior debt at a fixed interest rate of 7.3% and a final maturity of September 26, 2006. Principal payments on this debt begin in the year 2000. These borrowing arrangements are unsecured and permit certain investments and dividend payments. There are no material restrictions on the Company as a result of these arrangements, other than 17 7 Gardner Denver Machinery Inc. Management's Discussion and Analysis - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- customary covenants regarding certain earnings, liquidity, and capital ratios. Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company entered into a new revolving line of credit agreement with an aggregate $125 million borrowing capacity and terminated the previous Credit Line. The new agreement's terms and restrictions are similar to the previous Credit Line except that the new agreement matures in 2003. As in the previous Credit Line, the Company's interest rate is adjusted, depending on the Company's level of debt relative to its cash flows. The lowest interest rate on the new credit facility will be 10 basis points less than the original Credit Line, while the highest interest rate will be 25 basis points less than the original Credit Line. Management currently expects that the Company's future cash flows will be sufficient to fund the scheduled debt service under the unsecured senior note and the new credit facility and provide required resources for working capital and capital investments. The Company has one interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $15 million. The swap agreement expired in November 1997, but was extended for one year at the counter party's discretion. The swap agreement results in a fixed interest rate of approximately 6% for $15 million of debt. This interest rate swap agreement is subject to credit risk in that it depends on the performance of the contracting commercial bank. See Note 12 of the Notes to Financial Statements. Pending Litigation The Company is a defendant (together with its former parent, Cooper Industries, Inc.) in a lawsuit alleging misappropriation of trade secrets and interference with contractual relations in connection with research and development of single screw design technology and its related manufacturing techniques. The Company is engaged in settlement discussions with respect to this case and management does not believe the ultimate resolution of this legal action will have an adverse impact on the results of operations or the financial condition of the Company. Impact of the Year 2000 Issue The "Year 2000 Issue" is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs that have date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices or statements, perform material requirements planning or engage in similar normal business activities. The Company believes the recent implementation of its integrated management information system addresses the Year 2000 Issue for the programs replaced with the new system. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the Year 2000 Issue on other parts of its business. The Company expects to implement the necessary upgrades in 1998 without a material impact on the results of operations. These upgrades include significant enhancements other than addressing the Year 2000 Issue, the costs of which will be capitalized in accordance with the Statement of Position 98-1: "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." Although its assessment process relating to the Year 2000 Issue is not yet complete, the Company presently believes that modifications to existing software and conversions to new software can be made such that the Company will be able to operate its systems without significant disruptions due to the Year 2000 Issue and without a material impact upon its results of operations or financial condition. The Company intends to communicate with its significant suppliers and large customers to determine the extent to which the Company would be vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 Issue. The success of the Company's suppliers and customers in remediating their respective Year 2000 Issue is not within the Company's control, but the Company does not currently expect that its operations will be materially impacted by the Year 2000 Issue due to its suppliers or customers.

All shares of common stock and per share amounts have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to a three-for-two stock split distributed on December 29, 1997 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 8, 1997 and a two-for-one stock split distributed on January 15, 1997 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 27, 1996. Both stock splits were effected in the form of a stock dividend. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which the Company has 20% - 50% ownership are accounted for by the equity method. Foreign Currency Translation Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenues when goods are shipped to the customer. Inventories Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market value, primarily using the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets: buildings - 10 to 45 years; machinery and equipment - 10 to 12 years; and tooling, dies, patterns, etc. - 5 years. Intangibles Intangibles consist primarily of goodwill related to the various purchase acquisitions that comprise the Company's business. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over the period estimated to be benefited, not exceeding 40 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of an intangible asset by determining whether the amortization of the asset balance over its remaining life can be recovered through related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Income Taxes The Company has determined tax expense and other deferred tax information based on the liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Research and Development Costs for research and development are expensed as incurred and were $2,845, $2,405, and $1,316 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Financial Instruments Off balance sheet derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 1997 consist of an interest rate swap agreement used to fix interest rates on floating rate debt. Included on the balance sheet is a foreign currency forward contract in Finnish Marka to hedge foreign exchange risk on the Company's investment in Tamrotor. The contract is marked to market and both unrealized and realized gains and losses are included in the cumulative translation adjustments component of stockholders' equity. Earnings Per Share The 1997 and 1996 basic earnings per share were calculated based on 15,059,569 and 14,625,078 weighted shares outstanding, respectively. The 1997 and 1996 diluted earnings per share were calculated based on 15,871,727 and 24 14 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15,294,330 weighted shares outstanding, respectively. The basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 128 ("SFAS 128"). For additional information on the calculation of earnings per share required by SFAS 128, see Note 8. NOTE 2: Acquisitions On June 30, 1997, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Tamrotor, a subsidiary of Tamrock Corporation located in Tampere, Finland, for approximately $26.2 million. The purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition, and resulted in cost in excess of net assets acquired of $15.4 million. On August 9, 1996, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Gardner Denver Holdings Inc., formerly NORAMPTCO, Inc. ("GDHI") for $26.8 million. The purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition and resulted in cost in excess of net assets acquired of $26.4 million. On August 14, 1996, the Company purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of TCM Investments, Inc. ("TCM") for $7.2 million. The purchase price was allocated to assets and liabilities based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition and resulted in cost in excess of net assets acquired of $4.1 million. As a result of the stability of the product technology, markets and customers associated with these three acquisitions, the cost in excess of net assets acquired for each acquisition is being amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method. All acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method, and accordingly, the results of operations of Tamrotor, GDHI and TCM are included in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations from the dates of acquisition. Certain estimates of fair market value of assets received and liabilities assumed were made with adjustments to each separate company's historical financial statements. The estimates and adjustments for Tamrotor have not been finalized. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3: INVENTORIES

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- During 1997, 1996 and 1995, reductions in inventory quantities (net of acquisitions) resulted in liquidations of LIFO inventory layers carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years. The effect was to increase net income in 1997, 1996 and 1995 by $732, $1,213 and $1,619, respectively. It is the Company's policy to record the earnings effect of LIFO inventory liquidations in the quarter in which a decrease for the entire year becomes certain. In each of the years 1995 through 1997, the LIFO liquidation income was recorded in the fourth quarter. 25 15 Gardner Denver Machinery Inc.

Benefits are provided to employees under defined benefit pay-related and service-related plans which are noncontributory. Annual contributions to retirement plans equal or exceed the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The Company also sponsors defined contribution plans. Benefits are determined and funded annually based on terms of the plans or as stipulated in a collective bargaining agreement. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Retirement plan expenses are as follows:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The full-time salaried and hourly employees of the Company's operations in Finland have pension benefits which are guaranteed by the Finnish government. Although the plans are similar to defined benefit plans, the guarantee feature of the government causes the substance of the plans to be defined contribution. Therefore, the discounted future liability of these plans is not included in the liability for defined benefit plans, but the expense for the Company's contribution is included in the pension cost for defined contribution plans. Certain of the Company's full-time salaried and nonunion hourly employees are eligible to participate in the Company's Retirement Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan"), which is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company's matching contributions are in the form of the Company's common stock, previously authorized for issuance under the Savings Plan. Stock-Based Compensation Plans Under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), designated employees are eligible to receive awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock grants or performance shares, as determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. An aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of common stock has been reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan. Through December 31, 1997, the Company has granted options on 1,898,409 shares. Under the Incentive Plan, the option exercise price equals the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. One-third of employee options granted become vested and exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. The options granted to employees in 1994, 1995, and 1997 expire five years after the date of grant. The options granted to employees in 1996 expire ten years after the date of the grant. Under the Incentive Plan, each nonemployee director is automatically granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares of common stock on the day after each annual meeting of stockholders. These options are granted at the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and expire five years after the date of grant. The Company has an employee stock purchase plan (the "Stock Purchase Plan") and has reserved 675,000 shares for issuance. All eligible employees who enroll in an offering receive options to purchase shares of common stock at the lesser of 90% of the fair market price of the stock on the offering date or 100% of the fair market price on the exercise date. Each offering under the Stock Purchase Plan requires participating employees to have withheld from pay the purchase price of the options over a two year period. The exercise date for the previous offering was November 7, 1997, at which time employees elected to purchase 277,185 shares at the offering price of $5.12 per share. The exercise date for the most recent offering is November 8, 1999. As of December 31, 1997, employees had enrolled to purchase 103,146 shares at the current offering price of $21.97 per share. The Company accounts for both the Incentive Plan and the Stock Purchase Plan using the intrinsic value methodology prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires pro forma disclosure of the impact on earnings as if the compensation costs for these plans had been determined consistent with this statement. The Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts under SFAS 123: 28 18 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997 1996 1995 ------- ------ ------ Net income As reported $27,651 16,906 11,594 Pro forma 26,817 16,328 11,389 Basic EPS As reported $ 1.84 1.16 0.81 Pro forma 1.78 1.12 0.80 Diluted EPS As reported $ 1.74 1.11 0.79 Pro forma 1.69 1.07 0.78
Because the SFAS 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be representative of that to be expected in future years. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A summary of the status of the Company's Incentive Plan at December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, and changes during the years then ended, is presented in the table and narrative below (shares in thousands):

The fair value of each option grant under the Incentive Plan and the Stock Purchase Plan is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 6.3%, 6.8% and 6.6%; expected lives of 4.1, 8.8 and 3.3 years; and expected volatility of 35%. No dividends payments are included in this valuation. 29 19 Gardner Denver Machinery Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 7: POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS Salaried employees who retired prior to 1989, as well as certain other employees who were near retirement and elected to receive certain benefits, have retiree medical, prescription and life insurance benefits. All other active salaried employees will not have postretirement medical benefits. The hourly employees have separate plans with varying benefit formulas. In all cases, however, currently active hourly employees, except for certain employees who are near retirement, will not receive health care benefits after retirement. All of the Company's postretirement medical plans are unfunded. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net postretirement plan income is as follows:

The interest rate varies with market rates for prime, CD's and/or LIBOR and the Company's debt to adjusted income ratio. As of December 31, 1997 and 1996, this rate was 6.5% and 6.2%, respectively, and averaged 6.3% and 6.2% for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. On September 26, 1996, the Company entered into an unsecured senior note agreement at a fixed interest rate of 7.3%. This debt matures in ten years and requires equal annual principal payments for seven years beginning September 26, 2000. The fixed rate industrial revenue bond carried interest at 8.0% and was secured by a letter of credit which guaranteed the outstanding principal. This bond was assumed by the Company at the acquisition of Lamson and prepaid in 1997. This debt was assumed upon the acquisition of Tamrotor and provides for an interest rate of 4.9%. The debt was used to purchase machinery and equipment and is secured by such equipment.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On August 1, 1997, the Company requested, and its lenders agreed to, the second and final extension of its three-year revolving loan, which was refinanced in November 1995. In September 1996, the Company obtained additional financing by entering into an unsecured senior note agreement for $35,000. This debt has a ten-year final, seven-year average maturity with principal payments beginning in 2000. Both of the Company's borrowing agreements are unsecured and permit certain investments and dividend payments. There are no material restrictions on the Company as a result of these agreements, other than customary covenants regarding certain earnings, liquidity and capital ratios. The total available credit line is $65,000, with $15,000 outstanding at December 31, 1997, leaving $50,000 available for additional borrowings or to issue as letters of credit. The total debt balance will mature on November 30, 2000. Maturities of long-term debt for the five years subsequent to December 31, 1997 are $459, $463, $20,455, $5,309 and $5,000, respectively. Interest paid for 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $4,374, $2,423 and $5,348, respectively. The rentals for all operating leases were $2,108, $1,519 and $1,351 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. NOTE 10: INDUSTRY SEGMENTS The Company's operations are organized into two segments, Compressed Air Products and Petroleum Products.

United States taxes and foreign country withholding taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries because the Company intends to reinvest such earnings indefinitely. The estimated amount of income taxes that would be incurred should such earnings be distributed is not significant due to available foreign tax credits. 34 24 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 12: OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK, CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk At December 31, 1997, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement with a commercial bank (the "Counter Party") outstanding, having a notional principal amount of $15,000. The swap provides a fixed interest rate of 6%. The interest rate swap terminated in November 1997, but was extended for one additional year at the option of the Counter Party. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the Counter Party to the interest rate swap agreement. However, the Company does not anticipate such nonperformance. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets into which the Company's products are sold, as well as their dispersion across many different geographic areas. As a result, as of December 31, 1997, the Company does not consider itself to have any significant concentrations of credit risk. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of trade receivables, trade payables, debt instruments, the swap agreement and a forward foreign currency contract hedging the Company's investment in its Finnish operations. The book values of these instruments are not materially different from their respective fair values. The interest rate swap agreement is not valued in the financial statements and any incremental interest expense or income generated is accrued as incurred. NOTE 13: CONTINGENCIES The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") with respect to various sites designated for cleanup under various state and federal laws. The Company does not own any of these sites. Current estimates of the Company's remaining maximum exposure before reimbursement by other PRPs are in a range between $1,500 and $3,500. The Company believes that the costs related to these sites will not have a materially adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In addition to the environmental matters, the Company is a party to various other legal proceedings and administrative actions, most of which are of an ordinary or routine nature, incidental to the operations of the Company. However, one lawsuit alleges misappropriation of trade secrets and interference with contractual relations. The Company is engaged in settlement discussions with respect to this case and management does not believe that the outcome of this litigation will have an adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. NOTE 14: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On January 5, 1998, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of Geological Equipment Corporation ("Geoquip") for approximately $12 million and paid approximately $2 million in cash to acquire patents, previously owned by Geoquip's shareholders, for products manufactured by Geoquip. The Company also assumed certain liabilities of Geoquip. The purchase price for the assets of Geoquip was paid in cash ($1.5 million) and 430,695 shares of Gardner Denver common stock. Geoquip, located in Fort Worth, Texas, is a leading manufacturer of pumps, ranging from 250 to 2,400 horsepower, for the well service and water blast industries. Geoquip also remanufactures pumps and provides repair services. On January 29, 1998, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Champion Pneumatic Machinery Company, Inc. ("Champion"), a subsidiary of CRL Industries, Inc., for approximately $24 million. Champion, located in Princeton, Illinois, is a leading manufacturer of lubricated and non-lubricated single acting, single and two-stage reciprocating compressors. Champion's products serve the industrial market, service support industry, oil-free applications and consumer market. On January 20, 1998, the Company entered into a new revolving line of credit agreement with an aggregate $125 million borrowing capacity and terminated the existing Credit Line. The new agreement's terms and restrictions are similar to the previous Credit Line except that the new agreement matures in 2003. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 15: UNAUDITED QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS
