Flowserve Corporation (FLS) provides pumps, valves, seals and related services to industrial and municipal markets globally. Bookings in Q1 2009 were $968 million, with a backlog of $2.67 billion. FLS initiated a realignment to reduce costs through facility optimization and headcount reductions, expecting $40 million in charges but $56 million in annual savings. Q2 2009 results exceeded projections with EPS of $1.92, excluding $0.25 in realignment charges. Analysts project FLS will continue outperforming competitors due to its diversification and aftermarket services. Top competitors include Crane, Dresser-Rand, KSB and Tyco's flow control division.

4. Using Q1 2009 as example (sales of $1.02 billion):

5. Bookings in Q1 2009 = $968 millionvalue of all orders received in 2009.

11. Reducing headcount

12. SG&A expense reductions

13. Accelerate continuing improvement programs

14. Expect to incur up to $40 million in realignment fees in 2009 ($0.50/share).

31. Sales decreased 6% (4% excluding negative currency effects) to $1.09 billion.

44. Comforting for the following reason:Management says that in the past, pump orders tend to lead both valve and seal orders because pumps take much longer to produce – may be indication that orders for valves and seals will be stronger in the future. Sulzer, a major competitor which solely makes pumps, reported dramatic decrease in bookings for the quarter – that FLS’s were up excluding unusual factors is comforting.
