ITEM 1. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
PART I
Flowserve Corporation is a world leading manufacturer and aftermarket service provider of
comprehensive flow control systems. Under the name of a predecessor entity, we were incorporated in the
State of New York on May 1, 1912. Flowserve Corporation as it exists today was created in 1997 through
the merger of two leading fluid motion and control companies — BW/IP and Durco International. Over
the years, we have evolved through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, and our 220-year history of
Flowserve heritage brands serves as the foundation for the breadth and depth of our products and services
today. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references to ‘‘Flowserve,’’ ‘‘the Company’’ and such words
as ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘our’’ and ‘‘us’’ include Flowserve Corporation and its subsidiaries.
We develop and manufacture precision-engineered flow control equipment integral to the movement,
control and protection of the flow of materials in our customers’ critical processes. Our product portfolio
of pumps, valves, seals, automation and aftermarket services supports global infrastructure industries,
including oil and gas, chemical, power generation (including nuclear, fossil and renewable) and water
management, as well as certain general industrial markets where our products and services add value.
Through our manufacturing platform and global network of Quick Response Centers (‘‘QRCs’’), we offer
a broad array of aftermarket equipment services, such as installation, advanced diagnostics, repair and
retrofitting.
We sell our products and services to more than 10,000 companies, including some of the world’s
leading engineering, procurement and construction firms (‘‘EPC’’), original equipment manufacturers,
distributors and end users. Our products and services are used in several distinct industries having a broad
geographic reach. Our bookings mix by industry in 2016 and 2015 consisted of:

year ended December 31, 2016 (‘‘Annual Report’’). For information on our sales and long-lived assets by
geographic areas, see Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in ‘‘Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data’’ (‘‘Item 8’’) of this Annual Report.
We conduct our operations through three business segments based on type of product and how we
manage the business:
(cid:127) Engineered Product Division (‘‘EPD’’) for long lead time, custom and other highly-engineered
pumps and pump systems, mechanical seals, auxiliary systems and replacement parts and related
services;
(cid:127) Industrial Product Division (‘‘IPD’’) for pre-configured engineered pumps and pump systems and
related products and services; and
(cid:127) Flow Control Division (‘‘FCD’’) for engineered and industrial valves, control valves, actuators and
controls and related services.
Our business segments share a focus on industrial flow control technology and benefit from our global
footprint and our economies of scale in reducing administrative and overhead costs to serve customers
more cost effectively. EPD and IPD have a high number of common customers and complementary
product offerings and technologies that are often combined in applications that provide us a net
competitive advantage. All segments share certain resources and functions, including elements of research
and development (‘‘R&D’’), supply chain, safety, quality assurance and administrative functions that
provide efficiencies and an overall lower cost structure.
Our operations leadership reports to our Chief Operating Officer, and the segments share leadership
for operational support functions such as R&D, marketing and supply chain. We believe this leadership
structure positions the Company to leverage operational excellence, cost reduction initiatives and internal
synergies across our entire operating platform to drive further growth and increase shareholders’ value.
Our sales, product management and commercialization, R&D and strategy leadership reports to our
Chief Sales and Strategy Officer. We believe this structure positions the Company to execute coordinated
customer-centric business and sales strategies, promoting collaboration and best practices across the
organization to drive growth.
Strategies
Our overarching objective is to grow our position as a product and integrated solutions provider in the
flow control industry. This objective includes continuing to sell products by building on existing sales
relationships and leveraging the power of our portfolio of products and services to attract new customers.
It also includes delivering specific end-user solutions that help customers attain their business goals by
ensuring maximum reliability at a decreased cost of ownership. This objective is pursued by cultivating a
corporate culture based on workplace safety for our employees, ethical and transparent business practices
and a dedicated focus on serving our customers. These three pillars support a collaborative, ‘One
Flowserve’ approach that leverages a diverse and inclusive work environment worldwide. We seek to drive
increasing enterprise value by using the following strategies: disciplined profitable growth, customer
intimacy, innovation and portfolio management, strategic localization, operational excellence, employee
focus and sustainable business model. The key elements of these strategies are outlined below.
Disciplined Profitable Growth
Disciplined profitable growth is focused on growing revenues profitably from our existing portfolio of
products and services, as well as through the development or acquisition of new customer-driven products
and services. Its overarching goals are to focus on opportunities that can maximize the organic growth from
existing customers and to evaluate potential new customer-partnering initiatives that maximize the capture

of products’ total life cycle value. We believe we are the largest major pump, valve and seal company that
can offer customers a differentiated option of flow management products and services across a broad
portfolio, as well as offer additional options that include any combination of products and solution support
packages.
We also seek to continue to review our substantial installed pump, valve and seal base as a means to
expand the aftermarket parts and services business. To date, the aftermarket business has provided us with
a steady source of revenues and cash flows at higher margins than are typically realized with original
equipment sales. Aftermarket sales represented approximately 45% and 43% of total sales in 2016 and
2015, respectively. We are building on our established presence through an extensive global QRC network
to provide the immediate parts, service and technical support required to effectively manage and expand
the aftermarket business created from our installed base.
Customer Relationship
Through our ongoing relationships with our customers, we seek to gain a rich understanding of their
business objectives and how our portfolio of offerings can best help them succeed. We collaborate with our
customers on the front-end engineering and design work to drive flow management solutions that
effectively generate the desired business outcomes. As we progress through original equipment projects,
we work closely with our customers to understand and prepare for the long-term support needs for their
operations with the intent of maximizing total life cycle value for our customers’ investments.
We seek to capture additional aftermarket business by creating mutually beneficial opportunities for
us and our customers through sourcing and maintenance alliance programs where we provide all or an
agreed-upon portion of customers’ parts and servicing needs. These alliances enable us to develop
long-term relationships with our customers and serve as an effective platform for introducing new products
and services and generating additional sales.
Innovation and Portfolio Management
The ongoing management of our portfolio of products and services is critical to our success. As part of
managing our portfolio, we continue to rationalize our portfolio of products and services to ensure
alignment with changing market requirements. We also continue to invest in R&D to expand the scope of
our product offerings and our deployment of advanced technologies. The infusion of advanced
technologies into new products and services continues to play a critical role in the ongoing evolution of our
product portfolio. Our objective is to improve the percentage of revenue derived from new products as a
function of overall sales, utilizing technological innovation to improve overall product life cycle and reduce
total cost of ownership for our customers.
We employ a robust portfolio management and project execution process to seek out new product and
technology opportunities, evaluate their potential return on investment and allocate resources to their
development on a prioritized basis. Each project is reviewed on a routine basis for such performance
measures as time to market, net present value, budget adherence, technical and commercial risk and
compliance with customer requirements. Technical skill sets and knowledge are deployed across business
segment boundaries to ensure that we bring the best capabilities to bear for each project. Collectively, our
R&D portfolio is a key to our ability to differentiate our product and service offerings from other
competitors in our target markets.
We are focused on exploring and commercializing new technologies. In many of our research areas,
we are teaming with universities and experts in the appropriate scientific fields to accelerate the required
learning and to shorten the development time in leveraging the value of applied technologies in our
products and services. Our intent is to be a market leader in the application of advanced technology to
improve product performance and return on investment for our customers.

We have a track record of success in the area of remotely monitoring and diagnosing flow control
equipment for our customers. Our approach is to build on that success by utilizing new technologies and
best-in-class technology partners. The growth and acceleration in this space has created new opportunities
to build on our existing capabilities, while also creating opportunities to offer more comprehensive
solutions that help our customers leverage their infrastructure investments and gain new insight into the
performance and reliability of their pump and flow control products. Partnering with best-in-class
technology vendors provides both Flowserve and our partners a mutually beneficial opportunity to deliver
solutions that benefit customers by optimizing their operating performance and lowering their total cost of
ownership
We continually evaluate acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic investment opportunities to
broaden our product portfolio, service capabilities, geographic presence and operational capabilities to
meet the growing needs of our customers. We evaluate all investment opportunities through a decision
filtering process to ensure a good strategic, financial and cultural fit.
Strategic Localization
Strategic localization continues to drive our global growth strategy. While we are a global company,
we recognize that opportunities still remain. Therefore, we strive to advance our presence in geographies
that we believe are critical to our future success as a company by focusing on the following areas:
(cid:127) expanding our global presence to capture business in developing geographic market areas;
(cid:127) expanding our low-cost manufacturing capabilities in Southeast Asia and Latin America for local
markets and exports;
(cid:127) utilizing low-cost sourcing opportunities to remain competitive in the global economy; and
(cid:127) attracting and retaining the global intellectual capital required to support our growth plans in new
geographical areas.
We believe there are attractive opportunities in international markets, particularly in Africa, China,
India, Latin America and the Middle East, and we intend to continue to utilize our global presence and
strategically invest to further penetrate these markets. In the aftermarket services business, we seek to
strategically add QRC sites in order to provide rapid response, fast delivery and field repair on a global
scale for our customers.
We believe that our future success will be supported by investments made to establish indigenous
operations to effectively serve the local market while taking advantage of low-cost manufacturing,
competent engineering and strategic sourcing to support both local markets and export. We believe that
this positions us well to support our global customers from project conception through commissioning and
throughout the life of their operations. For example, we are currently expanding our pump and valve
operations in China, valve operations in India and pump operations in Mexico.
We continue to develop and increase our manufacturing, engineering and sourcing functions in
lower-cost regions and emerging markets such as India, China, Mexico, Latin America, the Middle East
and Eastern Europe as we drive higher value-add from our supply base of materials and components and
satisfy local content requirements. In 2016, these lower-cost regions supplied our business segments with
direct materials ranging from 25% to 35% of business segment spending.

Operational Excellence
The operational excellence strategy encapsulates ongoing programs that work to drive increased
customer fulfillment and yield internal productivity. This initiative includes:
(cid:127) driving improved customer fulfillment through metrics such as on-time delivery, cost reduction,
quality, cycle time reduction and warranty cost reduction as a percentage of sales;
(cid:127) continuing to develop a culture of continuous improvement that delivers maximum productivity and
cost efficiencies; and
(cid:127) implementing global functional competencies to drive standardized processes.
We seek to increase our operational efficiency through our Continuous Improvement Process (‘‘CIP’’)
initiative, which utilizes tools such as value analysis, value engineering, six sigma methodology, lean
manufacturing and capacity management to improve quality and processes, reduce product cycle times and
lower costs. Recognizing that employees are our most valuable resource in achieving operational
excellence goals, we have instituted CIP training tailored to maximize the impact on our business. At this
date, we have approximately 1,700 active employees that are CIP-trained or certified as ‘‘Green Belts,’’
‘‘Black Belts’’ or ‘‘Master Black Belts,’’ and are deployed on CIP projects throughout our operations and
supporting functions of the business. As a result of the CIP initiative, we have developed and implemented
processes at various sites to reduce our engineering and manufacturing process cycle time, improve
on-time delivery and service response time, optimize working capital levels and reduce costs. We have also
experienced success in sharing and applying best practices achieved in one business segment and deploying
those ideas to other segments of the business.
We continue to rationalize existing Enterprise Resource Planning (‘‘ERP’’) systems onto six strategic
ERP systems. Going forward, these six strategic ERP systems will be maintained as core systems with
standard tool sets, and will be enhanced as needed to meet the growing needs of the business in areas such
as e-commerce, back office optimization and export compliance. Further investment in non-strategic ERP
systems will be limited to compliance matters and conversion to strategic ERP systems.
We also seek to improve our working capital utilization, with a particular focus on management of
accounts receivable and inventory. See further discussion in the ‘‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’’ section
of ‘‘Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’’
(‘‘Item 7’’) of this Annual Report.
Employee Focus
We focus on several elements in our strategic efforts to continuously enhance our organizational
capability, including:
(cid:127) institutionalizing our succession planning along with our core competencies and performance
management capabilities, with a focus on key positions and critical talent pools;
(cid:127) utilizing these capabilities to drive employee engagement through our training initiatives and
leadership development programs and facilitate our cross-business segment and functional
development assignments;
(cid:127) developing talent acquisition programs to address current and future critical talent needs to support
our emerging markets and global growth;
(cid:127) capturing the intellectual capital in the current workforce, disseminating it throughout our company
and sharing it with customers as a competitive advantage;

(cid:127) creating a total compensation program that provides our associates with equitable opportunities
that are competitive and linked to business and individual performance while promoting employee
behavior consistent with our code of business conduct and risk tolerance; and
(cid:127) building a diverse and globally inclusive organization with a strong ethical and compliance culture
based on transparency and trust.
We continue to focus on training through the distribution of electronic learning packages in multiple
languages for our Code of Business Conduct, workplace harassment, facility safety, anti-bribery, export
compliance and other regulatory and compliance programs. We also drive our training and leadership
development programs through the deployment of general management development, manager
competencies and a series of multi-lingual programs that focus on enhancing people management skills.
Sustainable Business Model
The sustainable business model initiative is focused on areas that have the potential of adversely
affecting our reputation, limiting our financial flexibility or creating unnecessary risk for any of our
stakeholders. We proactively administer an enterprise risk management program with regular reviews of
high-level matters with our Board of Directors. We work with our capital sourcing partners to ensure that
the terms of our credit facilities and long-term debt are appropriately aligned with our business strategy.
We also train our associates on and monitor matters of a legal or ethical nature to support understanding
and compliance on a global basis.
Competition
Despite consolidation activities in past years, the markets for our products remain highly competitive,
with primary competitive drivers being price, reputation, project management, timeliness of delivery,
quality, proximity to service centers and technical expertise, as well as contractual terms and previous
installation history. In the pursuit of large capital projects, competitive drivers and competition vary
depending on the industry and products involved. Industries experiencing slow growth generally tend to
have a competitive environment more heavily influenced by price due to supply outweighing demand, and
price competition tends to be more significant for original equipment orders than aftermarket services.
Considering the domestic and global economic environments in 2016 and current forecasts for 2017,
pricing was and may continue to be a particularly influential competitive factor. The unique competitive
environments in each of our three business segments are discussed in more detail under the ‘‘Business
Segments’’ heading below.
In the aftermarket portion of our business, we compete against large, well-established national and
global competitors and, in some markets, against regional and local companies. In the oil and gas and
chemical industries, the primary competitors for aftermarket services tend to be customers’ own in-house
capabilities. In the nuclear power generation industry, we possess certain competitive advantages due to
our ‘‘N Stamp’’ certification, which is a prerequisite to serve customers in that industry, as well as our
considerable base of proprietary knowledge. Aftermarket competition for standardized products is
aggressive due to the existence of common standards allowing for easier replacement or repair of the
installed products.
In the sale of aftermarket products and services, we benefit from our large installed base of pumps,
valves and seals, which continually require maintenance, repair and replacement parts due to the nature of
the products and the conditions under which they operate. Timeliness of delivery, quality and the proximity
of service centers are important customer considerations when selecting a provider for aftermarket
products and services. In geographic regions where we are locally positioned to provide a quick response,
customers have traditionally relied on us, rather than our competitors, for aftermarket products relating to
our highly-engineered and customized products, although we are seeing increased competition in this area.

Generally, our customers attempt to reduce the number of vendors from which they purchase, thereby
reducing the size and diversity of their supply chain. Although vendor reduction programs could adversely
affect our business, we have been successful in establishing long-term supply agreements with a number of
customers. While the majority of these agreements do not provide us with exclusive rights, they can
provide us a ‘‘preferred’’ status with our customers and thereby increase opportunities to win future
business. We also utilize our LifeCycle Advantage program to establish fee-based contracts to manage
customers’ aftermarket requirements. These programs provide an opportunity to manage the customer’s
installed base and expand the business relationship with the customer.
Our ability to use our portfolio of products, solutions and services to meet customer needs is a
competitive strength. Our market approach is to create value for our customers throughout the life cycle of
their investments in flow control management. We continue to explore and develop potential new offerings
in conjunction with our customers. In the early phases of project design, we endeavor to create value in
optimizing the selection of equipment for the customer’s specific application, as we are capable of
providing technical expertise on product and system capabilities even outside the scope of our specific
products, solutions and services. After the equipment is constructed and delivered to the customer’s site,
we continue to create value through our aftermarket capabilities by optimizing the performance of the
equipment over its operational life. Our skilled service personnel can provide these aftermarket services
for our products, as well as many competitors’ products, within the installed base. This value is further
enhanced by the global reach of our QRCs and, when combined with our other solutions for our
customers’ flow control management needs, allows us to create value for our customers during all phases
of the capital and operating expenditure cycles.
New Product Development
We spent $42.8 million, $45.9 million and $40.9 million during 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, on
company-sponsored R&D initiatives. Our R&D group consists of engineers involved in new product
development and improvement of existing products. Additionally, we sponsor consortium programs for
research with various universities and jointly conduct limited development work with certain vendors,
licensees and customers. We believe our R&D expenditures are adequate to sustain our ongoing and
necessary future product development. In addition, we work closely with our customers on customer-
sponsored research activities to help execute their R&D initiatives in connection with our products and
services. New product development in each of our three business segments is discussed in more detail
under the ‘‘Business Segments’’ heading below.
Customers
We sell to a wide variety of customers globally including leading EPC firms, original equipment
manufacturers, distributors and end users in several distinct industries: oil and gas, chemical, power
generation, water management and general industries. We believe that we do not have sales to any
individual customer that represent 10% or more of consolidated 2016 revenues. Customer information
relating to each of our three business segments is discussed in more detail under the ‘‘Business Segments’’
heading below.
We are not normally required to carry unusually high amounts of inventory to meet customer delivery
requirements, although higher backlog levels and longer lead times generally require higher amounts of
inventory. We typically require advance cash payments from customers on longer lead time projects to help
offset our investment in inventory. We have initiated programs targeted at improving our operational
effectiveness to reduce our overall working capital needs. While we do provide cancellation policies
through our contractual relationships, we generally do not provide rights of product return for our
customers.

Selling and Distribution
We primarily distribute our products through direct sales by employees assigned to specific regions,
industries or products. In addition, we use distributors and sales representatives to supplement our direct
sales force in countries where it is more appropriate due to business practices or customs, or whenever the
use of direct sales staff is not economically efficient. We generate a majority of our sales leads through
existing relationships with vendors, customers and prospects or through referrals.
Intellectual Property
We own a number of trademarks and patents relating to the names and designs of our products. We
consider our trademarks and patents to be valuable assets of our business. In addition, our pool of
proprietary information, consisting of know-how and trade secrets related to the design, manufacture and
operation of our products, is considered particularly valuable. Accordingly, we take proactive measures to
protect such proprietary information. We generally own the rights to the products that we manufacture and
sell and are unencumbered by licensing or franchise agreements. Our trademarks can typically be renewed
indefinitely as long as they remain in use, whereas our existing patents generally expire 10 to 20 years from
the dates they were filed, which has occurred at various times in the past. We do not believe that the
expiration of any individual patent will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition
or results of operations.
Raw Materials
The principal raw materials used in manufacturing our products are readily available and include
ferrous and non-ferrous metals in the form of bar stock, machined castings, fasteners, forgings and motors,
as well as silicon, carbon faces, gaskets and fluoropolymer components. A substantial volume of our raw
materials is purchased from outside sources, and we have been able to develop a robust supply chain and
anticipate no significant shortages of such materials in the future. We continually monitor the business
conditions of our suppliers to manage competitive market conditions and to avoid potential supply
disruptions. We continue to expand global sourcing to capitalize on localization in emerging markets and
low-cost sources of purchased goods balanced with efficient consolidated and compliant logistics.
Metal castings used in the manufacture of our pump, valve, and mechanical seals are purchased from
qualified and approved foundry sources. We remain vertically integrated with metal castings in certain
strategic product families.
Concerning the products we supply to customers in the nuclear power generation industry, suppliers
of raw materials for nuclear power generation markets must be qualified to meet the requirements of
nuclear industry standards and governmental regulations. Supply channels for these materials are currently
adequate, and we do not anticipate difficulty in obtaining such materials in the future.
Employees and Labor Relations
We have approximately 18,000 employees globally as of December 31, 2016. In the United States
(‘‘U.S.’’), a portion of the hourly employees at our pump manufacturing plant located in Vernon,
California, our valve manufacturing plant located in Lynchburg, Virginia and our foundry located in
Dayton, Ohio, are represented by unions. Additionally, some employees at select facilities in the following
countries are unionized or have employee works councils: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Finland,
France, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Thailand and the
United Kingdom (‘‘U.K.’’). We believe relations with our employees throughout our operations are
generally satisfactory, including those employees represented by unions and employee works councils. No
unionized facility accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated 2016 revenues.

Environmental Regulations and Proceedings
We are subject to environmental laws and regulations in all jurisdictions in which we have operating
facilities. These requirements primarily relate to the generation and disposal of waste, air emissions and
waste water discharges. We periodically make capital expenditures to enhance our compliance with
environmental requirements, as well as to abate and control pollution. At present, we have no plans for any
material capital expenditures for environmental control equipment at any of our facilities. However, we
have incurred and continue to incur operating costs relating to ongoing environmental compliance matters.
Based on existing and proposed environmental requirements and our anticipated production schedule, we
believe that future environmental compliance expenditures will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We use hazardous substances and generate hazardous wastes in many of our manufacturing and
foundry operations. Most of our current and former properties are or have been used for industrial
purposes and some may require clean-up of historical contamination. During the due diligence phase of
our acquisitions, we conduct environmental site assessments to identify potential environmental liabilities
and required clean-up measures. We are currently conducting follow-up investigation and/or remediation
activities at those locations where we have known environmental concerns. We have cleaned up a majority
of the sites with known historical contamination and are addressing the remaining identified issues.
Over the years, we have been involved as one of many potentially responsible parties (‘‘PRP’’) at
former public waste disposal sites that are or were subject to investigation and remediation. We are
currently involved as a PRP at five Superfund sites. The sites are in various stages of evaluation by
government authorities. Our total projected ‘‘fair share’’ cost allocation at these five sites is expected to be
immaterial. See ‘‘Item 3. Legal Proceedings’’ included in this Annual Report for more information.
We have established reserves that we currently believe to be adequate to cover our currently identified
on-site and off-site environmental liabilities.
Exports
Our export sales from the U.S. to foreign unaffiliated customers were $259.1 million in 2016,
$295.6 million in 2015 and $338.5 million in 2014.
Licenses are required from U.S. and other government agencies to export certain products. In
particular, products with nuclear power generation and/or military applications are restricted, as are
certain other pump, valve and seal products.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
In addition to the business segment information presented below, Note 16 to our consolidated
financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report contains additional financial information about our
business segments and geographic areas in which we have conducted business in 2016, 2015 and 2014.
ENGINEERED PRODUCT DIVISION
Our largest business segment is EPD, through which we design, manufacture, distribute and service
custom and other highly-engineered pumps and pump systems, mechanical seals, auxiliary systems,
replacement parts and related services. EPD includes longer lead time, highly-engineered pump products,
and shorter cycle engineered pumps and mechanical seals that are generally manufactured within shorter
lead times. EPD also manufactures replacement parts and related equipment and provides a full array of
replacement parts, repair and support services (collectively referred to as ‘‘aftermarket’’). EPD products
and services are primarily used by companies that operate in the oil and gas, power generation, chemical,
water management and general industries. We market our pump and mechanical seal products through our
global sales force and our regional QRCs and service and repair centers or through independent

distributors and sales representatives. A portion of our mechanical seal products are sold directly to
original equipment manufacturers for incorporation into rotating equipment requiring mechanical seals.
Our pump products are manufactured in a wide range of metal alloys and with a variety of
configurations to meet the critical operating demands of our customers. Mechanical seals are critical to the
reliable operation of rotating equipment in that they prevent leakage and emissions of hazardous
substances from the rotating equipment and reduce shaft wear on the equipment caused by the use of
non-mechanical seals. We also manufacture a gas-lubricated mechanical seal that is used in high-speed
compressors for gas pipelines and in the oil and gas production and process markets. Our products are
currently manufactured at 32 plants worldwide, 10 of which are located in Europe, 10 in North America,
seven in Asia Pacific and five in Latin America.
We also conduct business through strategic foreign joint ventures. We have six unconsolidated joint
ventures that are located in China, India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and the United Arab
Emirates, where a portion of our products are manufactured, assembled or serviced in these territories.
These relationships provide numerous strategic opportunities, including increased access to our current
and new markets, access to additional manufacturing capacity and expansion of our operational platform
to support low-cost sourcing initiatives and capacity demands for other markets.
EPD Products
We manufacture more than 40 different active types of pumps and approximately 185 different models
of mechanical seals and sealing systems. The following is a summary list of our EPD products and globally

We provide engineered aftermarket services through our global network of 123 QRCs, some of which
are co-located in manufacturing facilities, in 47 countries. Our EPD service personnel provide a
comprehensive set of equipment services for flow management control systems, including installation,
commissioning, repair, advanced diagnostics, re-rate and retrofit programs, machining and comprehensive
asset management solutions. We provide asset management services and condition monitoring for rotating
equipment through special contracts with many of our customers that reduce maintenance costs. A large
portion of EPD’s service work is performed on a quick response basis, and we offer 24-hour service in all
of our major markets.
EPD New Product Development
Our investments in new product R&D continue to focus on increasing the capability of our products
as customer applications become more advanced, demanding greater levels of production (i.e., flow, power
and pressure) and under more extreme conditions beyond the level of traditional technology. We continue
to develop innovations that improve product performance and our competitive position in the engineered
equipment industry, specifically targeting pipeline, offshore and downstream applications for the oil and
gas market. The emergence of extreme pressure applications prompted the development of an advanced
stage design and construction of high pressure test capability necessary to validate the technology prior to
introduction into the market.
As new sources of energy generation are explored, we continue to develop new product designs to
support the most critical applications in the power generation market. New designs and qualification test
programs continue to support the critical services found in the modern nuclear power generation plant.
Continued engagement with our end users is exemplified through completion of advancements in coke
cutting technology, nozzle design and auxiliary equipment improvements, as well as creation of an
automated cutting system to improve operator safety.
We continue to address our core products with design enhancements to improve performance and the
speed at which we can deliver our products. Application of advanced computational fluid dynamics
methods utilizing unsteady flow analysis led to the development of an advanced inlet chamber and impeller
vane design for high energy injection water pumps. Our engineering teams continue to apply and develop
sophisticated design technology and methods supporting continuous improvement of our proven
technology. Additionally, we are incentivizing our operations and tracking the R&D projects more closely,
which is leading to broader engagement in developing new products.

In 2016, EPD continued to advance our Insight platform (formerly known as Technology Advantage)
through the Integrated Solutions Organization (‘‘ISO’’). This platform utilizes a combination of our
developed technologies and leading edge technology partners to increase our asset management and
service capabilities for our end-user customers. These technologies include intelligent devices, advanced
communication and security protocols, wireless and satellite communications and web-enabled data
convergence. Additionally, we have been exploring the ‘‘additive manufacturing’’ opportunities in our
products and auxiliary systems.
None of these newly developed products or services required the investment of a material amount of
our assets or was otherwise material to our business.
EPD Customers
Our customer mix is diversified and includes leading EPC firms, original equipment manufacturers,
distributors and end users. Our sales mix of original equipment products and aftermarket products and
services diversifies our business and helps mitigate the impact of normal economic cycles on our business.
Our sales are diversified among several industries, including oil and gas, power generation, chemical, water
management and general industries.
EPD Competition
The pump and mechanical seal industry is highly fragmented, with hundreds of competitors. We
compete, however, primarily with a limited number of large companies operating on a global scale.
Competition among our closest competitors is generally driven by delivery times, expertise, price, breadth
of product offerings, contractual terms, previous installation history and reputation for quality. Some of
our largest industry competitors include: Sulzer Pumps; Ebara Corp.; SPX FLOW, Inc.; Eagle Burgmann,
which is a joint venture of two traditional global seal manufacturers, A. W. Chesterton Co. and AES Corp.;
John Crane Inc., a unit of Smiths Group Plc; and Weir Group Plc.
The pump and mechanical seal industry continues to undergo considerable consolidation, which is
primarily driven by (i) the need to lower costs through reduction of excess capacity and (ii) customers’
preference to align with global full service suppliers to simplify their supplier base. Despite the
consolidation activity, the market remains highly competitive.
We believe that our strongest sources of competitive advantage rest with our extensive range of pumps
for the oil and gas, chemical and power generation industries, our large installed base of products, our
strong customer relationships, our more than 200 years of legacy experience in manufacturing and
servicing pumping equipment, our reputation for providing quality engineering solutions and our ability to
deliver engineered new seal product orders within 72 hours from the customer’s request.
EPD Backlog
EPD’s backlog of orders as of December 31, 2016 was $966.8 million (including $11.7 million of
interdivision backlog, which is eliminated and not included in consolidated backlog), compared with
$1,157.3 million (including $10.5 million of interdivision backlog) as of December 31, 2015. We expect to
ship approximately 87% of December 31, 2016 backlog during 2017.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT DIVISION
Through IPD we design, manufacture, distribute and service pre-configured engineered pumps and
pump systems, including submersible motors, for industrial markets. Our globalized operating platform,
low-cost sourcing and continuous improvement initiatives are essential aspects of this business. IPD’s

projects incorporating product rationalization, value engineering, lean manufacturing and overhead
reduction continue to be key drivers for IPD.
None of these newly developed products or services required the investment of a material amount of
our assets or was otherwise material.
IPD Customers
Our customer mix is diversified and includes leading EPC firms, original equipment manufacturers,
distributors and end users. Our sales mix of original equipment products and aftermarket products and
services diversifies our business and helps mitigate the impact of normal economic cycles on our business.
Our sales are diversified among several industries, including oil and gas, chemical, water management,
power generation and general industries.
IPD Competition
The industrial pump industry is highly fragmented, with many competitors. We compete, however,
primarily with a limited number of large companies operating on a global scale. Competition among our
closest competitors is generally driven by delivery times, expertise, price, breadth of product offerings,
contractual terms, previous installation history and reputation for quality. Some of our largest industry
competitors include ITT Industries, KSB Inc. and Sulzer Pumps.
We believe that our strongest sources of competitive advantage rest with our extensive range of pumps
for the chemical industry, our large installed base, our strong customer relationships, our more than
200 years of legacy experience in manufacturing and servicing pumping equipment and our reputation for
providing quality engineering solutions.
IPD Backlog
IPD’s backlog of orders as of December 31, 2016 was $373.5 million (including $14.2 million of
interdivision backlog, which is eliminated and not included in consolidated backlog), compared with
$424.6 million (including $15.7 million of interdivision backlog) as of December 31, 2015. We expect to
ship approximately 90% of December 31, 2016 backlog during 2017.

FCD Products
Our valve, automation and controls product and solutions portfolio represents one of the most
comprehensive in the flow control industry. Our products are used in a wide variety of applications, from
general service to the most severe and demanding services, including those involving high levels of
corrosion, extreme temperatures and/or pressures, zero fugitive emissions and emergency shutdown.
Our ‘‘smart’’ valve and diagnostic technologies integrate sensors, microprocessor controls and
software into high performance integrated control valves, digital positioners and switchboxes for
automated on/off valve assemblies and electric actuators. These technologies permit real-time system
analysis, system warnings and remote indication of asset health. These technologies have been developed
in response to the growing demand for reduced maintenance, improved process control efficiency and
digital communications at the plant level. We are committed to further enhancing the quality of our
product portfolio by continuing to upgrade our existing offerings with cutting-edge technologies.
Our valve automation products encompass a broad range of pneumatic, electric, hydraulic and stored
energy actuation designs to take advantage of whatever power source the customer has available. FCD’s
actuation products can utilize the process fluid flowing through the pipeline as a source of power to actuate
the valve. Our actuation products also cover one of the widest ranges of output torques in the industry,
providing the ability to automate anything from the smallest linear globe valve to the largest multi-turn
gate valve. Most importantly, FCD combines best-in-class mechanical designs with the latest in digital
controls in order to provide complete integrated automation solutions that optimize the combined valve-
actuator-controls package.

FCD New Product Development
Our R&D investment is focused on areas that will advance our technological leadership and further
differentiate our competitive advantage from a product perspective. Investment has been focused on
significantly enhancing the digital integration and interoperability of valve top works (e.g., positioners,
actuators, limit switches and associated accessories) with Distributed Control Systems (‘‘DCS’’). We
continue to pursue the development and deployment of next-generation hardware and software for valve
diagnostics and the integration of the resulting device intelligence through the DCS to provide a practical
and effective asset management capability for the end user. In addition to developing these new
capabilities and value-added services, our investments also include product portfolio expansion and
fundamental research in material sciences in order to increase the temperature, pressure and corrosion/
erosion-resistance limits of existing products, as well as noise and cavitation reduction. These investments
are made by adding new resources and talent to the organization, as well as leveraging the experience of
EPD and IPD and increasing our collaboration with third parties. We expect to continue our R&D
investments in the areas discussed above.
None of these newly developed valve products or services required the investment of a material
amount of our assets or was otherwise material.
FCD Customers

FCD Competition
While in recent years the valve market has undergone a significant amount of consolidation, the
market remains highly fragmented. Some of the largest valve industry competitors include Pentair Ltd.,
Cameron International Corp. (a Schlumberger company), Emerson Electric Co., General Electric Co. and
Crane Co.
Our market research and assessments indicate that the top 10 global valve manufacturers collectively
comprise less than 25% of the total valve market. Based on independent industry sources, we believe that
we are the fourth largest industrial valve supplier in the world. We believe that our strongest sources of
competitive advantage rest with our comprehensive portfolio of valve products and services, our focus on
execution and our expertise in severe corrosion and erosion applications.
FCD Backlog
FCD’s backlog of orders as of December 31, 2016 was $584.5 million, compared with $622.0 million as
of December 31, 2015. We expect to ship approximately 87% of December 31, 2016 backlog during 2017.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Any of the events discussed as risk factors below may occur. If they do, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. While we believe all
known material risks are disclosed, additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we
currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations. Because of these risk factors, as well
as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance may not be a reliable
indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in
future periods.
Our business depends on the levels of capital investment and maintenance expenditures by our customers, which
in turn are affected by numerous factors, including the state of domestic and global economies, global energy
demand, the cyclical nature of their markets, their liquidity and the condition of global credit and capital
markets.
Demand for most of our products and services depends on the level of new capital investment and
planned maintenance expenditures by our customers. The level of capital expenditures by our customers
depends, in turn, on general economic conditions, availability of credit, economic conditions within their
respective industries and expectations of future market behavior. Additionally, volatility in commodity

prices can negatively affect the level of these activities and can result in postponement of capital spending
decisions or the delay or cancellation of existing orders. The ability of our customers to finance capital
investment and maintenance may also be affected by factors independent of the conditions in their
industry, such as the condition of global credit and capital markets.
The businesses of many of our customers, particularly oil and gas companies, chemical companies and
general industrial companies, are to varying degrees cyclical and have experienced periodic downturns.
Our customers in these industries, particularly those whose demand for our products and services is
primarily profit-driven, historically have tended to delay large capital projects, including expensive
maintenance and upgrades, during economic downturns. For example, our chemical customers generally
tend to reduce their spending on capital investments and operate their facilities at lower levels in a soft
economic environment, which reduces demand for our products and services. Additionally, fluctuating
energy demand forecasts and lingering uncertainty concerning commodity pricing, specifically the price of
oil, can cause our customers to be more conservative in their capital planning, which may reduce demand
for our products and services. Reduced demand for our products and services could result in the delay or
cancellation of existing orders or lead to excess manufacturing capacity, which unfavorably impacts our
absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. This reduced demand may also erode average selling prices in our
industry. Any of these results could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
Additionally, some of our customers may delay capital investment and maintenance even during
favorable conditions in their industries or markets. Despite these favorable conditions, the general health
of global credit and capital markets and our customers’ ability to access such markets may impact
investments in large capital projects, including necessary maintenance and upgrades. In addition, the
liquidity and financial position of our customers could impact capital investment decisions and their ability
to pay in full and/or on a timely basis. Any of these factors, whether individually or in the aggregate, could
have a material adverse effect on our customers and, in turn, our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
Volatility in commodity prices, effects from credit and capital market conditions and global economic growth
forecasts could prompt customers to delay or cancel existing orders, which could adversely affect the viability of
our backlog and could impede our ability to realize revenues on our backlog.
Our backlog represents the value of uncompleted customer orders. While we cannot be certain that
reported backlog will be indicative of future results, our ability to accurately value our backlog can be
adversely affected by numerous factors, including the health of our customers’ businesses and their access
to capital, volatility in commodity prices (e.g., copper, nickel, stainless steel) and economic uncertainty.
While we attempt to mitigate the financial consequences of order delays and cancellations through
contractual provisions and other means, if we were to experience a significant increase in order delays or
cancellations that can result from the aforementioned economic conditions or other factors beyond our
control, it could impede or delay our ability to realize anticipated revenues on our backlog. Such a loss of
anticipated revenues could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
We may be unable to deliver our backlog on time, which could affect our revenues, future sales and profitability
and our relationships with customers.
At December 31, 2016, backlog was $1.9 billion. In 2017, our ability to meet customer delivery
schedules for backlog is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, sufficient
manufacturing plant capacity, adequate supply channel access to the raw materials and other inventory
required for production, an adequately trained and capable workforce, project engineering expertise for
certain large projects and appropriate planning and scheduling of manufacturing resources. Many of the
contracts we enter into with our customers require long manufacturing lead times and contain penalty
clauses related to on-time delivery. Failure to deliver in accordance with customer expectations could
subject us to financial penalties, may result in damage to existing customer relationships and could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We sell our products in highly competitive markets, which results in pressure on our profit margins and limits our
ability to maintain or increase the market share of our products.
The markets for our products and services are geographically diverse and highly competitive. We
compete against large and well-established national and global companies, as well as regional and local
companies, low-cost replicators of spare parts and in-house maintenance departments of our end-user
customers. We compete based on price, technical expertise, timeliness of delivery, contractual terms,
previous installation history and reputation for quality and reliability. Competitive environments in
slow-growth industries and for original equipment orders have been inherently more influenced by pricing
and domestic and global economic conditions and current economic forecasts suggest that the competitive
influence of pricing has broadened. Additionally, some of our customers have been attempting to reduce
the number of vendors from which they purchase in order to reduce the size and diversity of their supply
chain. To remain competitive, we must invest in manufacturing, marketing, customer service and support
and our distribution networks. No assurances can be made that we will have sufficient resources to
continue to make the investment required to maintain or increase our market share or that our
investments will be successful. If we do not compete successfully, our business, financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
If we are unable to obtain raw materials at favorable prices, our operating margins and results of operations may
be adversely affected.
We purchase substantially all electric power and other raw materials we use in the manufacturing of
our products from outside sources. The costs of these raw materials have been volatile historically and are
influenced by factors that are outside our control. In recent years, the prices for energy, metal alloys, nickel
and certain other of our raw materials have been volatile. While we strive to offset our increased costs
through supply chain management, contractual provisions and our CIP initiative, where gains are achieved
in operational efficiencies, our operating margins and results of operations and cash flows may be
adversely affected if we are unable to pass increases in the costs of our raw materials on to our customers
or operational efficiencies are not achieved.
Economic, political and other risks associated with international operations could adversely affect our business.
A substantial portion of our operations is conducted and located outside the U.S. We have
manufacturing, sales or service facilities in more than 50 countries and sell to customers in over 90
countries, in addition to the U.S. Moreover, we primarily outsource certain of our manufacturing and
engineering functions to, and source our raw materials and components from, China, Eastern Europe,
India and Latin America. Accordingly, our business and results of operations are subject to risks associated
with doing business internationally, including:
(cid:127) instability in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, particularly economic
conditions in Europe, and political conditions in Russia, the Middle East, North Africa, Latin
America and other emerging markets;
(cid:127) trade protection measures, such as tariff increases, and import and export licensing and control
requirements;
(cid:127) political or economic instability relating to the recent Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom;
(cid:127) uncertainties related to any geopolitical, economic and regulatory effects or changes due to the
2016 U.S. presidential election;

(cid:127) increased aging and slower collection of receivables, particularly in Latin America and other
emerging markets;
(cid:127) difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some foreign legal systems;
(cid:127) differing and, in some cases, more stringent labor regulations;
(cid:127) potentially negative consequences from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
(cid:127) partial or total expropriation;
(cid:127) differing protection of intellectual property;
(cid:127) inability to repatriate income or capital; and
(cid:127) difficulty in administering and enforcing corporate policies, which may be different than the
customary business practices of local cultures.
For example, political unrest or work stoppages could negatively impact the demand for our products
from customers in affected countries and other customers, such as U.S. oil refineries, that could be
affected by the resulting disruption in the supply of crude oil. Similarly, military conflicts in Russia, the
Middle East and North Africa could soften the level of capital investment and demand for our products
and services.
Some of the risks outlined above are particularly prevalent in Venezuela. The operating environment
in Venezuela is challenging, with high inflation, increased risk of political and economic instability and
increased government restrictions. As a result of these factors, we have experienced delays in payments
from the national oil company in Venezuela, our primary Venezuelan customer, though these amounts are
not disputed. Due to certain actions of this customer and the diminished activity of business and payments
in 2016, we have estimated that our ability to fully collect the accounts receivable from our primary
Venezuelan customer has become less than probable and we recorded a charge to selling, general and
administrative expense (‘‘SG&A’’) to fully reserve for those potential uncollectible accounts receivable and
a charge to cost of sales (‘‘COS’’)to reserve for related net inventory exposures. For additional
information, see the discussion in Item 7 of this Annual Report and under Note 1 to our consolidated
financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report. Going forward, additional government
actions, political and labor unrest, or other economic headwinds, including the Venezuelan government’s
inability to fulfill its fiscal obligations, could have further adverse impacts on our ability to fully collect our
receivable and our business in Venezuela.
In order to manage our day-to-day operations, we must overcome cultural and language barriers and
assimilate different business practices. In addition, we are required to create compensation programs,
employment policies and other administrative programs that comply with laws of multiple countries. We
also must communicate and monitor standards and directives across our global network. Our failure to
successfully manage our geographically diverse operations could impair our ability to react quickly to
changing business and market conditions and to enforce compliance with standards and procedures.
Our future success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these
and other risks associated with our international operations. Any of these factors could, however,
materially adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.
Our international operations and foreign subsidiaries are subject to a variety of complex and continually
changing laws and regulations.
Due to the international scope of our operations, the system of laws and regulations to which we are
subject is complex and includes, without limitation, regulations issued by the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, the U.S. Treasury

There may be uncertainty as to the position the U.S. will take with respect to world affairs and events
following the 2016 U.S. presidential election and related change in the U.S. political agenda, coupled with
the transition of administrations. This uncertainty may relate to such issues as the new administration’s
support or plans for new or existing treaty and trade relationships with other countries, such as the January
2017 U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which may affect restrictions or tariffs imposed
on products we buy or sell. This uncertainty, together with other key global events during 2016 (such as the
continuing uncertainty arising from the Brexit referendum in the U.K. as well as ongoing terrorist activity),
may adversely impact the ability or willingness of non-U.S. companies to transact business in the U.S. This
uncertainty may also affect regulations and trade agreements affecting U.S. companies, global stock
markets (including the NYSE, on which our common shares are traded), currency exchange rates, and
general global economic conditions. All of these factors are outside of our control, but may nonetheless
cause us to adjust our strategy in order to compete effectively in global markets.
Our international operations expose us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
A significant portion of our revenue and certain of our costs, assets and liabilities, are denominated in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The primary currencies to which we have exposure are the Euro,
British pound, Mexican peso, Brazilian real, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, Argentine peso,
Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Chinese yuan, Colombian peso, Chilean peso and South African rand.
Certain of the foreign currencies to which we have exposure, such as the Venezuelan bolivar and Argentine
peso, have undergone significant devaluation in the past, which can reduce the value of our local monetary
assets, reduce the U.S. dollar value of our local cash flow, generate local currency losses that may impact
our ability to pay future dividends from our subsidiary to the parent company and potentially reduce the
U.S. dollar value of future local net income. Although we enter into forward exchange contracts to
economically hedge some of our risks associated with transactions denominated in certain foreign
currencies, no assurances can be made that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide
anti-bribery laws and regulations.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (‘‘FCPA’’) and similar anti-bribery laws and regulations in
other jurisdictions, such as the UK Bribery Act, generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries
from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business
or securing an improper advantage. Because we operate in many parts of the world and sell to industries
that have experienced corruption to some degree, our policies mandate compliance with applicable
anti-bribery laws worldwide. If we are found to be in violation of the FCPA or other similar anti-bribery
laws or regulations, whether due to our or others’ actions or inadvertence, we could be subject to civil and
criminal penalties or other sanctions that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our
reputation or ability to do business.

Terrorist acts, conflicts and wars may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations and may adversely affect the market for our common stock.
As a global company with a large international footprint, we are subject to increased risk of damage or
disruption to us, our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors, resellers or customers due to
terrorist acts, conflicts and wars, wherever located around the world. The potential for future attacks, the
national and international responses to attacks or perceived threats to national security, and other actual
or potential conflicts or wars, such as the Israeli-Hamas conflict and ongoing instability in Syria and Egypt,
have created many economic and political uncertainties. In addition, as a global company with
headquarters and significant operations located in the U.S., actions against or by the U.S. may impact our
business or employees. Although it is impossible to predict the occurrences or consequences of any such
events, they could result in a decrease in demand for our products, make it difficult or impossible to deliver
products to our customers or to receive components from our suppliers, create delays and inefficiencies in
our supply chain and pose risks to our employees, resulting in the need to impose travel restrictions, any of
which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Environmental compliance costs and liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
Our operations and properties are subject to regulation under environmental laws, which can impose
substantial sanctions for violations. We must conform our operations to applicable regulatory requirements
and adapt to changes in such requirements in all countries in which we operate.
We use hazardous substances and generate hazardous wastes in many of our manufacturing and
foundry operations. Most of our current and former properties are or have been used for industrial
purposes, and some may require clean-up of historical contamination. We are currently conducting
investigation and/or remediation activities at a number of locations where we have known environmental
concerns. In addition, we have been identified as one of many PRPs at five Superfund sites. The projected
cost of remediation at these sites, as well as our alleged ‘‘fair share’’ allocation, while not anticipated to be
material, has been reserved. However, until all studies have been completed and the parties have either
negotiated an amicable resolution or the matter has been judicially resolved, some degree of uncertainty
remains.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, operating and capital costs to comply with
environmental requirements. In addition, new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing
requirements, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up
requirements could require us to incur costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities. Moreover,
environmental and sustainability initiatives, practices, rules and regulations are under increasing scrutiny
of both governmental and non-governmental bodies, which can cause rapid change in operational
practices, standards and expectations and, in turn, increase our compliance costs. Any of these factors
could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are party to asbestos-containing product litigation that could adversely affect our financial condition, results
of operations and cash flows.
We are a defendant in a substantial number of lawsuits that seek to recover damages for personal
injury allegedly resulting from exposure to asbestos-containing products formerly manufactured and/or
distributed by us. Such products were used as internal components of process equipment, and we do not
believe that there was any significant emission of asbestos-containing fibers during the use of this
equipment. Although we are defending these allegations vigorously and believe that a high percentage of
these lawsuits are covered by insurance or indemnities from other companies, there can be no assurance
that we will prevail or that coverage or payments made by insurance or such other companies would be

adequate. Unfavorable rulings, judgments or settlement terms could have a material adverse impact on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our business may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters.
As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately 18,000 employees, of which approximately 5,000 were
located in the U.S. Approximately 5% of our U.S. employees are represented by unions. We also have
unionized employees or employee work councils in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Finland, France,
Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Thailand and the U.K. No
individual unionized facility produces more than 10% of our revenues. Although we believe that our
relations with our employees are generally satisfactory and we have not experienced any material strikes or
work stoppages recently, no assurances can be made that we will not in the future experience these and
other types of conflicts with labor unions, works councils, other groups representing employees or our
employees generally, or that any future negotiations with our labor unions will not result in significant
increases in our cost of labor.
Our ability to implement our business strategy and serve our customers is dependent upon the
continuing ability to employ talented professionals and attract, train, develop and retain a skilled
workforce. We are subject to the risk that we will not be able to effectively replace the knowledge and
expertise of an aging workforce as workers retire. Without a properly skilled and experienced workforce,
our costs, including productivity costs and costs to replace employees may increase, and this could
negatively impact our earnings.
We depend on key personnel, the loss of whom would harm our business.
Our future success will depend in part on the continued service of key executive officers and
personnel. The loss of the services of any key individual could harm our business. Our future success also
depends on our ability to recruit, retain and engage our personnel sufficiently, both to maintain our
current business and to execute our strategic initiatives. Competition for officers and employees in our
industry is intense and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.
We have recently experienced changes in our senior management, including the resignation and
retirement of Mark A. Blinn, our President and Chief Executive Officer, effective March 31, 2017, and the
hiring of his successor, R. Scott Rowe.
Inability to protect our intellectual property could negatively affect our competitive position.
We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality provisions
and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We cannot guarantee, however,
that the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property will be adequate to prevent infringement
of our rights or misappropriation of our technology. For example, effective patent, trademark, copyright
and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in some of the foreign countries in which we
operate. In addition, while we generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and third
parties to protect our intellectual property, such confidentiality agreements could be breached or otherwise
may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets and know-how related to the design,
manufacture or operation of our products. If it became necessary for us to resort to litigation to protect
our intellectual property rights, any proceedings could be burdensome and costly, and we may not prevail.
Further, adequate remedies may not be available in the event of an unauthorized use or disclosure of our
trade secrets and manufacturing expertise. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights,
our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.

Significant changes in pension fund investment performance or assumptions changes may have a material effect
on the valuation of our obligations under our defined benefit pension plans, the funded status of these plans and
our pension expense.
We maintain defined benefit pension plans that are required to be funded in the U.S., Belgium,
Canada, India, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, Switzerland and the U.K., and defined benefit plans that
are not required to be funded in Austria, France, Germany, Japan and Sweden. Our pension liability is
materially affected by the discount rate used to measure our pension obligations and, in the case of the
plans that are required to be funded, the level of plan assets available to fund those obligations and the
expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. A change in the discount rate can result in a significant
increase or decrease in the valuation of pension obligations, affecting the reported status of our pension
plans and our pension expense. Significant changes in investment performance or a change in the portfolio
mix of invested assets can result in increases and decreases in the valuation of plan assets or in a change of
the expected rate of return on plan assets. This impact may be particularly prevalent where we maintain
significant concentrations of specified investments, such as the U.K. equity and fixed income securities in
our non-U.S. defined benefit plans. Changes in the expected return on plan assets assumption can result in
significant changes in our pension expense and future funding requirements.
We continually review our funding policy related to our U.S. pension plan in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations. U.S. regulations have increased the minimum level of funding for U.S
pension plans in prior years, which has at times required significant contributions to our pension plans.
Contributions to our pension plans reduce the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital
expenditures, R&D efforts and other general corporate purposes.
We may incur material costs as a result of product liability and warranty claims, which could adversely affect our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may be exposed to product liability and warranty claims in the event that the use of one of our
products results in, or is alleged to result in, bodily injury and/or property damage or our products actually
or allegedly fail to perform as expected. While we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain
product liability claims, we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, and
any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against product liability claims. In addition,
product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other
personnel for significant periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome. An unsuccessful defense of a
product liability claim could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows. Even if we are successful in defending against a claim relating to our products,
claims of this nature could cause our customers to lose confidence in our products and our company.
Warranty claims are not generally covered by insurance, and we may incur significant warranty costs in the
future for which we would not be reimbursed.
The recording of increased deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future or the impact of tax law changes
on such deferred tax assets could affect our operating results.
We currently have significant net deferred tax assets resulting from tax credit carryforwards, net
operating losses and other deductible temporary differences that are available to reduce taxable income in
future periods. Based on our assessment of our deferred tax assets, we determined, based on projected
future income and certain available tax planning strategies, that approximately $290 million of our
deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized in the future, and no valuation allowance is
currently required for this portion of our deferred tax assets. Should we determine in the future that these
assets will not be realized we will be required to record an additional valuation allowance in connection
with these deferred tax assets and our operating results would be adversely affected in the period such
determination is made. In addition, tax law changes could negatively impact our deferred tax assets.

Our outstanding indebtedness and the restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness limit
our operating and financial flexibility.
We are required to make scheduled repayments and, under certain events of default, mandatory
repayments on our outstanding indebtedness, which may require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our
cash flows from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash
flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, R&D efforts and other general corporate purposes,
such as dividend payments and share repurchases, and could generally limit our flexibility in planning for,
or reacting to, changes in our business and industry.
In addition, the agreements governing our indebtedness impose certain operating and financial
restrictions on us and somewhat limit management’s discretion in operating our businesses. These
agreements limit or restrict our ability, among other things, to: incur additional debt; pay dividends and
make other distributions; prepay subordinated debt; make investments and other restricted payments;
create liens; sell assets; and enter into transactions with affiliates.
We are also required to maintain certain debt ratings, comply with leverage and interest coverage
financial covenants and deliver to our lenders audited annual and unaudited quarterly financial statements.
Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control. Failure to
comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may not be able to continue to expand our market presence through acquisitions, and any future acquisitions
may present unforeseen integration difficulties or costs.
Since 1997, we have expanded through a number of acquisitions, and we may pursue strategic
acquisitions of businesses in the future. Our ability to implement this growth strategy will be limited by our
ability to identify appropriate acquisition candidates, covenants in our credit agreement and other debt
agreements and our financial resources, including available cash and borrowing capacity. Acquisitions may
require additional debt financing, resulting in higher leverage and an increase in interest expense. In
addition, acquisitions may require large one-time charges and can result in the incurrence of contingent
liabilities, adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation charges, the
amortization of identifiable purchased intangible assets or impairment of goodwill, any of which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Should we acquire another business, the process of integrating acquired operations into our existing
operations may create operating difficulties and may require significant financial and managerial resources
that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development or expansion of existing operations. Some
of the more common challenges associated with acquisitions that we may experience include:
(cid:127) loss of key employees or customers of the acquired company;
(cid:127) conforming the acquired company’s standards, processes, procedures and controls, including
accounting systems and controls, with our operations, which could cause deficiencies related to our
internal control over financial reporting;
(cid:127) coordinating operations that are increased in scope, geographic diversity and complexity;
(cid:127) retooling and reprogramming of equipment;
(cid:127) hiring additional management and other critical personnel; and
(cid:127) the diversion of management’s attention from our day-to-day operations.
Further, no guarantees can be made that we would realize the cost savings, synergies or revenue
enhancements that we may anticipate from any acquisition, or that we will realize such benefits within the
time frame that we expect. If we are not able to timely address the challenges associated with acquisitions

and successfully integrate acquired businesses, or if our integrated product and service offerings fail to
achieve market acceptance, our business could be adversely affected.
Goodwill impairment could negatively impact our net income and stockholders’ equity.
Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an
operating segment or one level below an operating segment. Goodwill is required to be tested for
impairment annually and between annual tests if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than
not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Reductions in or impairment of the
value of our goodwill or other intangible assets will result in charges against our earnings, which could have
a material adverse effect on our reported results of operations and financial position in future periods.
There are numerous risks that may cause the fair value of a reporting unit to fall below its carrying
amount, which could lead to the measurement and recognition of goodwill impairment. These risks
include, but are not limited to, lowered expectations of future financial results, adverse changes in the
business climate, increase in the discount rate, an adverse action or assessment by a regulator, the loss of
key personnel, a more-likely-than-not expectation that all or a significant portion of a reporting unit may
be disposed of, failure to realize anticipated synergies from acquisitions, a sustained decline in the
Company’s market capitalization, and significant, prolonged negative variances between actual and
expected financial results. In recent years, the estimated fair value of EPO and IPD have fluctuated,
partially due to broad-based capital spending declines and heightened pricing pressures experienced in the
oil and gas markets. Although we have concluded that there is no impairment on the goodwill associated
with our EPO and IPD reporting units as of December 31, 2016, we will continue to monitor their
performance and related market conditions for future indicators of potential impairment. For additional
information, see the discussion in Item 7 of this Annual Report and under Note 1 to our consolidated
financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
Cybersecurity threats could disrupt our business and result in the loss of critical and confidential information.
Our information technology networks and related systems and devices are critical to the operation of
our business and essential to our ability to successfully perform day-to-day operations. Cybersecurity
breaches could expose us to a risk of loss, misuse, or interruption of sensitive and critical information and
functions, including our proprietary information and information related to our customers, suppliers and
employees. While we devote substantial resources to maintaining adequate levels of cybersecurity, there
can be no assurance that we will be able to prevent all of the rapidly evolving forms of increasingly
sophisticated and frequent cyberattacks. The potential consequences of a material cybersecurity incident
include reputational damage, litigation with third parties, regulatory actions, theft of intellectual property,
and increased cybersecurity protection and remediation costs. If we are unable to prevent, detect or
adequately respond to security breaches, our operations could be disrupted and our business could be
materially and adversely affected.
If we are not able to successfully execute and realize the expected financial benefits from our strategic realignment
and other cost-saving initiatives, our business could be adversely affected.
In April 2015, we announced cost saving actions and a strategic manufacturing optimization initiative
intended to reduce our cost structure and drive an optimized, low-cost manufacturing footprint. This
initiative was expanded in the latter half of 2015 and the beginning of 2016 to include additional
realignment activities that will continue beyond 2016. This initiative will involve reducing our workforce,
accelerating structural changes in our global manufacturing footprint through leveraging investments in
low-cost regions, additional consolidation of product manufacturing and further SG&A reductions.
While we expect significant financial benefits from our strategic realignment, we may not realize the
full benefits that we currently expect within the anticipated time frame or at all. Adverse effects from our

execution of realignment activities could interfere with our realization of anticipated synergies, customer
service improvements and cost savings from these strategic initiatives. Additionally, our ability to fully
realize the benefits and implement the realignment program may be limited by the terms of our credit
facilities and other contractual commitments. Moreover, because such expenses are difficult to predict and
are necessarily inexact, we may incur substantial expenses in connection with the execution of our
realignment plans in excess of what is currently forecast. Further, realignment activities are a complex and
time-consuming process that can place substantial demands on management, which could divert attention
from other business priorities or disrupt our daily operations. Any of these failures could, in turn,
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, which
could constrain our liquidity.
If these measures are not successful or sustainable, we may undertake additional realignment and cost
reduction efforts, which could result in future charges. Moreover, our ability to achieve our other strategic
goals and business plans may be adversely affected, and we could experience business disruptions with
customers and elsewhere if our realignment efforts prove ineffective.
Forward-Looking Information is Subject to Risk and Uncertainty
This Annual Report and other written reports and oral statements we make from time-to-time include
‘‘forward-looking statements’’ within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Annual Report regarding our
financial position, business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, industry
conditions, market conditions and indebtedness covenant compliance are forward-looking statements. In
some cases forward looking statements can be identified by terms such as ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘expects,’’
‘‘could,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘projects,’’ ‘‘predicts,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘anticipates,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘forecasts’’ or
other comparable terminology. These statements are not historical facts or guarantees of future
performance, but instead are based on current expectations and are subject to significant risks,
uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of our control.
We have identified factors that could cause actual plans or results to differ materially from those
included in any forward-looking statements. These factors include those described above under this ‘‘Risk
Factors’’ heading, or as may be identified in our other SEC filings from time to time. These uncertainties
are beyond our ability to control, and in many cases, it is not possible to foresee or identify all the factors
that may affect our future performance or any forward-looking information, and new risk factors can
emerge from time to time. Given these risks and uncertainties, undue reliance should not be placed on
forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
All forward-looking statements included in this Annual Report are based on information available to
us on the date of this Annual Report and the risk that actual results will differ materially from expectations
expressed in this report will increase with the passage of time. We undertake no obligation, and disclaim
any duty, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement or disclose any facts, events or
circumstances that occur after the date hereof that may affect the accuracy of any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in our expectations or otherwise.
This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and all of
our forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements

We own the majority of our manufacturing facilities, and those manufacturing facilities we do not own
are leased. We also maintain a substantial network of U.S. and foreign service centers and sales offices,
most of which are leased. The majority of our manufacturing leased facilities are covered by lease
agreements with terms ranging from two to seven years, with individual lease terms generally varying based
on the facilities’ primary usage. We believe we will be able to extend leases on our various facilities as
necessary, as they expire.
We believe that our current facilities are adequate to meet the requirements of our present and
foreseeable future operations. We continue to review our capacity requirements as part of our strategy to
optimize our global manufacturing efficiency. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements
included in Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information regarding our operating lease
obligations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to the legal proceedings that are described in Note 12 to our consolidated financial
statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report, and such disclosure is incorporated by reference into
this Item 3. In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are named defendants in certain other
routine lawsuits incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental
proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other
proceedings involving us and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any
liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately,
management does not currently expect these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a
material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We have established reserves
covering exposures relating to contingencies to the extent believed to be reasonably estimable and
probable based on past experience and available facts.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase the understanding of, and should be read
in conjunction with, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. See ‘‘Item 1A. Risk
Factors’’ and the ‘‘Forward-Looking Statements’’ included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2016 (‘‘Annual Report’’) for a discussion of the risks, uncertainties and
assumptions associated with these statements. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts discussed herein are
consolidated.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Our Company
We believe that we are a world-leading manufacturer and aftermarket service provider of
comprehensive flow control systems. We develop and manufacture precision-engineered flow control
equipment integral to the movement, control and protection of the flow of materials in our customers’
critical processes. Our product portfolio of pumps, valves, seals, automation and aftermarket services
supports global infrastructure industries, including oil and gas, chemical, power generation and water
management, as well as general industrial markets where our products and services add value. Through
our manufacturing platform and global network of Quick Response Centers (‘‘QRCs’’), we offer a broad
array of aftermarket equipment services, such as installation, advanced diagnostics, repair and retrofitting.
We currently employ approximately 18,000 employees in more than 50 countries.
Our business model is significantly influenced by the capital spending of global infrastructure
industries for the placement of new products into service and maintenance spending for aftermarket
services for existing operations. The worldwide installed base of our products is an important source of
aftermarket revenue, where products are expected to ensure the maximum operating time of many key
industrial processes. Over the past several years, we have significantly invested in our aftermarket strategy
to provide local support to drive customer investments in our offerings and use of our services to replace or
repair installed products. The aftermarket portion of our business also helps provide business stability
during various economic periods. The aftermarket business, which is primarily served by our network of
183 QRCs located around the globe, provides a variety of service offerings for our customers including
spare parts, service solutions, product life cycle solutions and other value-added services. It is generally a
higher margin business compared to our original equipment business and a key component of our
profitable growth strategy.
Our operations are conducted through three business segments that are referenced throughout this
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (‘‘MD&A’’):
(cid:127) Engineered Product Division for long lead time, custom and other highly-engineered pumps and
pump systems, mechanical seals, auxiliary systems and replacement parts and related services;
(cid:127) Industrial Product Division for pre-configured engineered pumps and pump systems and related
products and services; and
(cid:127) Flow Control Division for engineered and industrial valves, control valves, actuators and controls
and related services.
Our business segments share a focus on industrial flow control technology and have a high number of
common customers. These segments also have complementary product offerings and technologies that are
often combined in applications that provide us a net competitive advantage. Our segments also benefit
from our global footprint and our economies of scale in reducing administrative and overhead costs to
serve customers more cost effectively. For example, our segment leadership reports to our Chief Operating

Officer (‘‘COO’’) and the segments share leadership for operational support functions, such as research
and development, marketing and supply chain.
The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 50 well-respected brand names such as
Worthington, IDP, Valtek, Limitorque, Durco, Edward, Anchor/Darling and Durametallic, which we
believe to be one of the most comprehensive in the industry. Our products and services are sold either
directly or through designated channels to more than 10,000 companies, including some of the world’s
leading engineering, procurement and construction (‘‘EPC’’) firms, original equipment manufacturers,
distributors and end users.
We continue to leverage our QRC network to be positioned as near to customers as possible for
service and support in order to capture valuable aftermarket business. Along with ensuring that we have
the local capability to sell, install and service our equipment in remote regions, it is equally imperative to
continuously improve our global operations. We continue to expand our global supply chain capability to
meet global customer demands and ensure the quality and timely delivery of our products. Additionally, we
continue to devote resources to improving the supply chain processes across our business segments to find
areas of synergy and cost reduction and to improve our supply chain management capability to ensure it
can meet global customer demands. We also remain focused on improving on-time delivery and quality,
while managing warranty costs as a percentage of sales across our global operations, through the assistance
of a focused Continuous Improvement Process (‘‘CIP’’) initiative. The goal of the CIP initiative, which
includes lean manufacturing, six sigma business management strategy and value engineering, is to
maximize service fulfillment to customers through on-time delivery, reduced cycle time and quality at the
highest internal productivity.
During 2015, 2016 and in early 2017, we have been challenged by broad-based capital spending
declines, originating in the oil and gas industry, heightened pricing pressures and negative currency
impacts caused by a stronger U.S. dollar. This has been further compounded by economic and geo-political
conditions in Latin America, the Middle East and China. In addition, we experienced lower than expected
activity levels in our aftermarket business due to deferred spending of our customers’ repair and
maintenance budgets. We expect that the current environment will persist into 2017, with potential
improvement in the second half of the year.
We have experienced a deterioration from plan in the operating results of our Engineered Product
Operations (‘‘EPO’’) and IPD reporting units which we believe was both operationally and market driven.
We have concluded that there is no impairment of the goodwill associated with EPO and IPD as of
December 31, 2016. Conditions are uncertain and can quickly change in the markets in which we operate
which could result in sustained or further deterioration and could impact the recoverability of certain of
our long-lived assets, including goodwill. We will continue to closely monitor their performance and related
market conditions.
To better align costs and improve long-term efficiency, we initiated Realignment Programs to
accelerate both short- and long-term strategic plans, including targeted manufacturing optimization
through the consolidation of facilities, SG&A efficiency initiatives, transfer of activities from high-cost
regions to lower-cost facilities and the divestiture of certain non-strategic assets. At the completion of the
programs, we expect a 15% to 20% reduction in our global workforce, relative to early 2015 workforce
levels. With an expected near-term investment of approximately $400 million, including projects still under
final evaluation, we expect the results of our Realignment Programs will deliver annualized run-rate
savings of approximately $230 million. Since inception of the Realignment Programs in 2015, we have
incurred charges of $222.6 million and we expect to incur most remaining charges in 2017.
In addition, we are focusing on our ongoing low-cost sourcing, including greater use of third-party
suppliers and increasing our lower-cost, emerging market capabilities.

Our Markets
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the ‘‘Outlook for 2017’’ section included
below in this MD&A.
Our products and services are used in several distinct industries: oil and gas, chemical, power
generation, water management, and a number of other industries that are collectively referred to as
‘‘general industries.’’
Demand for most of our products depends on the level of new capital investment and planned and
unplanned maintenance expenditures by our customers. The level of new capital investment depends, in
turn, on capital infrastructure projects driven by the need for oil and gas, chemicals, power generation and
water management, as well as general economic conditions. These drivers are generally related to the
phase of the business cycle in their respective industries and the expectations of future market behavior.
The levels of maintenance expenditures are additionally driven by the reliability of equipment, planned
and unplanned downtime for maintenance and the required capacity utilization of the process.
Sales to EPC firms and original equipment manufacturers are typically for large project orders and
critical applications, as are certain sales to distributors. Project orders are typically procured for customers
either directly from us or indirectly through contractors for new construction projects or facility
enhancement projects.
The quick turnaround business, which we also refer to as ‘‘short-cycle,’’ is defined as orders that are
received from the customer (booked) and shipped generally within six months of receipt. These orders are
typically for more standardized, general purpose products, parts or services. Each of our three business
segments generate certain levels of this type of business.
In the sale of aftermarket products and services, we benefit from a large installed base of our original
equipment, which requires periodic maintenance, repair and replacement parts. We use our manufacturing
platform and global network of QRCs to offer a broad array of aftermarket equipment services, such as
installation, advanced diagnostics, repair and retrofitting. In geographic regions where we are positioned to
provide quick response, we believe customers have traditionally relied on us, rather than our competitors,
for aftermarket products due to our highly engineered and customized products. However, the aftermarket
for standard products is competitive, as the existence of common standards allows for easier replacement
of the installed products. As proximity of service centers, timeliness of delivery and quality are important
considerations for all aftermarket products and services, we continue to selectively expand our global QRC
capabilities to improve our ability to capture this important aftermarket business.
Oil and Gas
The oil and gas industry represented approximately 36% of our bookings in both 2016 and 2015.
Capital spending in the oil and gas industry decreased in 2016 compared to the previous year due to
continued broad-based capital spending declines, heightened pricing pressures and negative currency
impacts caused by a stronger U.S. dollar. Aftermarket opportunities in this industry decreased in 2016 due
to deferred spending on our customers’ repair and maintenance budgets and the impact of end-user union
strikes in North America.
The outlook for the oil and gas industry is heavily dependent on the demand growth from both mature
markets and developing geographies. We believe lower oil prices that began in the fourth quarter of 2014
will continue to negatively impact oil and gas upstream investment most acutely and impact mid-stream
and downstream investment to a lesser extent. In addition, a reduction in the overall level of spending by
oil and gas companies could continue to decrease demand for our products and services. However, we
believe the long-term fundamentals for this industry remain solid in spite of the current down cycle as the
industry works through current excess supply with projected depletion rates of existing fields and
forecasted long-term demand growth. With our long-standing reputation in providing successful solutions

for upstream, mid-stream and downstream applications, along with the advancements in our portfolio of
offerings, we believe that we continue to be well-positioned to assist our customers in this challenging
environment.
Chemical
The chemical industry, which represented approximately 21% and 22% of our bookings in 2016 and
2015, respectively, experienced a decreased level of capital spending in 2016 due to broad-based capital
spending declines, heightened pricing pressures and negative currency impacts caused by a stronger U.S.
dollar. The aftermarket opportunities decreased in 2016 due to deferred spending of our customers’ repair
and maintenance budgets.
The outlook for the chemical industry remains heavily dependent on global economic conditions. As
global economies stabilize and unemployment conditions improve, a rise in consumer spending should
follow. An increase in spending would drive greater demand for chemical-based products supporting
improved levels of capital investment. We believe the chemical industry in the near-term will continue to
invest in North America and Middle East capacity additions, maintenance and upgrades for optimization
of existing assets and that developing regions will selectively invest in capital infrastructure to meet current
and future indigenous demand. We believe our global presence and our localized aftermarket capabilities
are well-positioned to serve the potential growth opportunities in this industry.
Power Generation
The power generation industry represented approximately 14% of our bookings in both 2016 and
2015. In 2016, the power generation industry continued to experience some softness in capital spending in
the mature regions driven by the uncertainty related to environmental regulations, as well as potential
regulatory impacts to the overall civilian nuclear market. In the developing regions, capital investment
remained in place driven by increased demand forecasts for electricity in countries such as China and
India. Global concerns about the environment continue to support an increase in desired future capacity
from renewable energy sources. The majority of the active and planned construction throughout 2016
continued to utilize designs based on fossil fuels. Natural gas increased its percentage of utilization driven
by market prices for gas remaining low and relatively stable. With the potential of unconventional sources
of gas, such as shale gas, the power generation industry is forecasting an increased use of this form of fuel
for power generation plants.
We believe the outlook for the power generation industry remains favorable. Current legislative
efforts to limit the emissions of carbon dioxide may have an adverse effect on investment plans depending
on the potential requirements imposed and the timing of compliance by country. However, we believe that
proposed methods of limiting carbon dioxide emissions offer business opportunities for our products and
services. We believe the long-term fundamentals for the power generation industry remain solid based on
projected increases in demand for electricity driven by global population growth, advancements of
industrialization and growth of urbanization in developing markets. We also believe that our long-standing
reputation in the power generation industry, our portfolio of offerings for the various generating methods,
our advancements in serving the renewable energy market and carbon capture methodologies, as well as
our global service and support structure, position us well for the future opportunities in this important
industry.
Water Management
The water management industry represented approximately 4% our bookings in both 2016 and 2015.
Water management industry activity level experienced some softness in 2016 despite worldwide demand
for fresh water and water treatment continuing to create requirements for new facilities or for upgrades of
existing systems, many of which require products that we offer, particularly pumps. The proportion of

people living in regions that find it difficult to meet water requirements is expected to double by 2025. We
believe that the persistent demand for fresh water during all economic cycles supports continued
investments, especially in North America and developing regions.
General Industries
General industries represented, in the aggregate, approximately 25% and 24% of our bookings in
2016 and 2015, respectively. General industries comprises a variety of different businesses, including
mining and ore processing, pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, food and beverage and other smaller
applications, none of which individually represented more than 5% of total bookings in 2016 and 2015.
General industries also includes sales to distributors, whose end customers operate in the industries we
primarily serve.
The outlook for this group of industries is heavily dependent upon the condition of global economies
and consumer confidence levels. The long-term fundamentals of many of these industries remain sound, as
many of the products produced by these industries are common staples of industrialized and urbanized
economies. We believe that our specialty product offerings designed for these industries and our
aftermarket service capabilities will provide continued business opportunities.
OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Throughout this discussion of our results of operations, we discuss the impact of fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates. We have calculated currency effects on operations by translating current
year results on a monthly basis at prior year exchange rates for the same periods.
In the first and second quarters of 2015, we initiated realignment programs that consist of both
restructuring and non-restructuring charges (‘‘Realignment Programs’’) that are further discussed in
Note 18 of our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report. The
Realignment Programs have continued throughout 2016 and the total charges for the Realignment
Programs by segment are detailed below for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

We anticipate a total investment in these Realignment Programs of approximately $400 million,
including projects still under final evaluation. Since inception of the Realignment Programs in 2015, we
have incurred charges of $222.6 million and we expect to incur most remaining charges in 2017.
Based on actions under our Realignment Programs, we estimate that we have achieved annual cost
savings of approximately $120 million as of December 31, 2016, of which approximately $75 million was in
COS with the remainder in SG&A. Upon completion of the Realignment Programs, we expect annual
run-rate cost savings of approximately $230 million. Actual savings could vary from expected savings, which
represent management’s best estimate to date.
Effective January 7, 2015, we acquired for inclusion in IPD, 100% of SIHI Group B.V. (‘‘SIHI’’), a
global provider of engineered vacuum and fluid pumps and related services.
Effective March 31, 2014, we sold our FCD Naval OY (‘‘Naval’’) business to a Finnish valve
manufacturer. The sale included Naval’s manufacturing facility located in Laitila, Finland and a service
and support center located in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report discusses the
details of the above acquisition and disposition.

We define a booking as the receipt of a customer order that contractually engages us to perform
activities on behalf of our customer in regards to the manufacture, delivery, and/or support of products or
the delivery of service. Bookings recorded and subsequently canceled within the same fiscal period are
excluded from bookings. Bookings of $3.8 billion in 2016 decreased by $416.4 million, or 10.0%, as
compared with 2015. The decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $108 million. The
decrease was primarily driven by the oil and gas industry, and to a lesser extent, the chemical and general
industries. The decrease was primarily due to customer original equipment bookings.
Bookings in 2015 decreased by $984.2 million, or 19.1%, as compared with 2014. The decrease
included negative currency effects of approximately $377 million. The decrease was primarily driven by the
oil and gas industry, and to a lesser extent, the general and chemical industries. The decrease was more
heavily weighted toward customer original equipment bookings.
Backlog represents the aggregate value of booked but uncompleted customer orders and is influenced
primarily by bookings, sales, cancellations and currency effects. Backlog of $1.9 billion at December 31,
2016 decreased by $275.5 million, or 12.7%, as compared with December 31, 2015. The decrease included
negative currency effects of approximately $18 million (currency effects on backlog are calculated using the
change in period end exchange rates). Backlog related to aftermarket orders was approximately 30% and
26% of the backlog at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We expect to ship approximately 88% of
December 31, 2016 backlog during 2017.
Backlog of $2.2 billion at December 31, 2015 decreased by $531.0 million, or 19.6%, as compared with
December 31, 2014. The decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $145 million and the
impact of cancellations of $118.4 million of orders booked during prior years. Order cancellations do not
typically result in material negative impacts to our financial results due to the cancellation provisions of
our long lead time contracts.

Sales in 2016 decreased by $569.5 million, or 12.5%, as compared with 2015. The decrease included
negative currency effects of approximately $114 million. The decrease was more heavily weighted toward
original equipment sales. Sales decreased into every region except for sales into the Middle East.
Sales in 2015 decreased by $316.9 million, or 6.5%, as compared with 2014. The decrease included
negative currency effects of approximately $433 million. The decrease was more heavily weighted towards
original equipment sales. Sales decreased into every region except for sales into Europe, primarily due to
the favorable impact of SIHI sales into the region. Sales in 2015 include $294.2 million sales from SIHI
which do not compare to 2014.
Sales to international customers, including export sales from the U.S., were approximately 64% of
total sales in 2016, 66% in 2015 and 68% in 2014. Sales into Europe, the Middle East and Africa (‘‘EMA’’)
were approximately 35%, 34% and 32% of total sales in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sales into Asia
Pacific were approximately 18% of total sales for 2016, 18% for 2015 and 20% for 2014. Sales into Latin

margin in 2016 of 30.9% decreased from 32.6% in 2015. The decrease in gross profit and gross profit
margin was primarily attributed to the negative impact of decreased sales on our absorption of fixed
manufacturing costs, unfavorable impacts of short-term operational inefficiencies related to the initial
execution of certain Realignment Programs, lower margin projects that shipped from backlog and a
$15.5 million charge to write down inventory in Brazil, partially offset by realignment savings achieved
related to our Realignment Programs and a mix shift to higher margin aftermarket sales. Aftermarket sales
increased to approximately 45% of total sales, as compared with approximately 43% of total sales for the
same period in 2015.
Gross profit in 2015 decreased by $227.3 million, or 13.3%, as compared with 2014. Gross profit
margin in 2015 of 32.6% decreased from 35.2% in 2014. The decrease in gross profit and gross profit
margin was primarily attributed to the negative impact resulting from purchase accounting adjustments on
acquired SIHI backlog and inventory of $18.1 million, charges related to our Realignment Programs of
$66.7 million, and to a lesser extent, certain lower margin projects that shipped from backlog and the
negative impact of decreased sales on our absorption of fixed manufacturing costs, as compared with the
same period in 2014. The decrease was partially offset by a decrease in compensation, which included a
decrease in broad-based annual incentive program compensation, and a mix shift to higher margin
aftermarket sales. Aftermarket sales increased to approximately 43% of total sales, as compared with
approximately 42% of total sales for the same period in 2014.

Interest expense in 2016 decreased by $5.2 million as compared with 2015. The decrease was primarily
attributable to decreased commitments and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility (as such term
is defined in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report) in 2016, as
compared to the same period in 2015. Interest expense in 2015 increased by $5.0 million as compared with
2014. The increase was primarily attributable to interest expense associated with increased borrowings in
2015 related to our public offering of A500.0 million of Euro senior notes in aggregate principal amount
due March 17, 2022 (the ‘‘2022 EUR Senior Notes’’) issued on March 17, 2015.

Other income, net increased $43.5 million from expense of $40.2 million in 2015 to income of
$3.3 million in 2016. The increase was primarily due to a $60.7 million decrease in losses arising from
transactions in currencies other than our sites’ functional currencies, partially offset by a $18.2 million
decrease in gains from foreign exchange contracts. The net change was primarily due to the foreign
currency exchange rate movements in the Brazilian real, Canadian dollar and British pound in relation to
the U.S. dollar during the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared with the same period in 2015, and
the $18.5 million loss as a result of the remeasurement of our Venezuelan bolivar-denominated net
monetary assets in the first quarter of 2015 that did not recur.
Other expense, net increased $42.2 million from income of $2.0 million in 2014 to a loss of
$40.2 million in 2015. The increase was primarily due to a $57.0 million increase in losses arising from
transactions in currencies other than our sites’ functional currencies, including the impact of the
$18.5 million loss as a result of the first quarter of 2015 remeasurement of our bolivar-denominated
Venezuelan net monetary assets, partially offset by a $15.4 million increase in gains from foreign exchange
contracts. The changes are primarily due to the foreign currency exchange rate movements of the Brazilian
real, Mexican peso and Euro in relation to the U.S. dollar as compared with the same period in 2014.

The 2016 tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the net impact of
foreign operations, tax impacts from our Realignment Programs and losses in certain foreign jurisdictions
for which no tax benefit was provided. Our effective tax rate of 33.7% for the year ended December 31,
2016 decreased from 35.3% in 2015 due primarily to the tax impacts described above. The 2015 tax rate
differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax impacts of the realignment programs,

the non-deductible Venezuelan exchange rate remeasurement loss, and the establishment of a valuation
allowance against our deferred tax assets in Brazil in the amount of $12.6 million, partially offset by the net
impact of foreign operations, which included the impacts of lower foreign tax rates and changes in our
reserves established for uncertain tax positions. The 2014 tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate
of 35% primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations, which included the impacts of lower foreign
tax rates and changes in our reserves established for uncertain tax positions.
On May 17, 2006, the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 was signed into law,
creating an exclusion from U.S. taxable income for certain types of foreign related party payments of
dividends, interest, rents and royalties that, prior to 2006, had been subject to U.S. taxation. On
December 18, 2015, this exclusion was further extended for five additional years. This exclusion is effective
for the years 2006 through 2019, and applies to certain of our related party payments.
Our effective tax rate is based upon current earnings and estimates of future taxable earnings for each
domestic and international location. Changes in any of these and other factors, including our ability to
utilize foreign tax credits and net operating losses or results from tax audits, could impact the tax rate in
future periods. As of December 31, 2016, we have foreign tax credits of $60.0 million, expiring in 2020
through 2026 against which we recorded a valuation allowance of $0.6 million. Additionally, we have
recorded other net deferred tax assets of $86.0 million, which relate to net operating losses, tax credits and
other deductible temporary differences that are available to reduce taxable income in future periods, most
of which do not have a definite expiration. Should we not be able to utilize all or a portion of these credits
and losses, our effective tax rate would increase.

Business Segments
We conduct our operations through three business segments based on type of product and how we
manage the business. We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segment’s
operating income. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual
Report for further discussion of our segments. The key operating results for our three business segments,
EPD, IPD and FCD, are discussed below.
Engineered Product Division Segment Results
Our largest business segment is EPD, through which we design, manufacture, distribute and service
custom and other highly-engineered pumps and pump systems, mechanical seals and auxiliary systems
(collectively referred to as ‘‘original equipment’’). EPD includes longer lead time, highly-engineered pump
products, and shorter cycle engineered pumps and mechanical seals that are generally manufactured within
shorter lead times. EPD also manufactures replacement parts and related equipment and provides
aftermarket services. EPD primarily operates in the oil and gas, power generation, chemical, and general
industries. EPD operates in 47 countries with 32 manufacturing facilities worldwide, 10 of which are
located in Europe, 10 in North America, seven in Asia and five in Latin America, and it has 123 QRCs,
including those co-located in manufacturing facilities and/or shared with FCD.

Bookings in 2016 decreased by $241.8 million, or 11.7%, as compared with 2015. The decrease
included negative currency effects of approximately $76 million. The decrease in customer bookings was
primarily driven by the oil and gas and general industries, and to a lesser extent, the chemical industry.
Customer bookings decreased $87.0 million into Europe, $52.0 million into Latin America, $38.0 million
into North America, $36.4 million into the Middle East, $26.2 million into Asia Pacific and $2.6 million
into Africa. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased customer original equipment bookings. Of the
$1.8 billion of bookings in 2016, approximately 48% were from oil and gas, 17% from general industries,
18% from chemical, and 17% from power generation. Interdivision bookings (which are eliminated and
are not included in consolidated bookings as disclosed above) decreased $8.4 million.
Bookings in 2015 decreased by $767.2 million, or 27.1%, as compared with 2014. The decrease
included negative currency effects of approximately $228 million. The decrease in customer bookings was
primarily driven by the oil and gas industry, and to a lesser extent, the chemical and general industries.
Customer bookings decreased $267.5 million into North America, $226.0 million into Latin America,
$149.1 million into Europe, and $92.4 million into Asia Pacific. The decrease was more heavily weighted
toward customer original equipment bookings. Of the $2.1 billion of bookings in 2015, approximately 47%
were from oil and gas, 19% from general industries, 17% from chemical, 15% from power generation and

2% from water management. Interdivision bookings (which are eliminated and are not included in
consolidated bookings as disclosed above) decreased $18.9 million.
Sales in 2016 decreased $265.2 million, or 11.7%, as compared with 2015. The decrease included
negative currency effects of approximately $87 million. The decrease was proportionally driven by
decreased original equipment and aftermarket sales, resulting from decreased customer sales of
$110.2 million into Latin America, $84.3 million into North America, $27.7 million into Europe,
$19.3 million into Africa, $13.5 million into Asia Pacific and $2.0 million into the Middle East.
Interdivision sales (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated sales as disclosed above)
decreased $14.0 million.
Sales in 2015 decreased $304.6 million, or 11.9%, as compared with 2014. The decrease included
negative currency effects of approximately $258 million. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased
original equipment sales, resulting from decreased customer sales of $127.4 million into Asia Pacific,
$71.4 million into Latin America, $39.9 million into the Middle East, $27.8 million into Europe and
$11.3 million into North America. Interdivision sales (which are eliminated and are not included in
consolidated sales as disclosed above) decreased $10.0 million.
Gross profit in 2016 decreased by $131.3 million, or 17.6%, as compared with 2015. Gross profit
margin in 2016 of 30.8% decreased from 33.0% in 2015. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily
attributable to the negative impact of decreased sales on our absorption of fixed manufacturing costs, a
$15.0 million charge to write down inventory in Brazil and increased charges related to our Realignment
Programs, partially offset by realignment savings achieved.
Gross profit in 2015 decreased by $146.1 million, or 16.4%, as compared with 2014. Gross profit
margin in 2015 of 33.0% decreased from 34.8% in 2014. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily
attributable to the charges related to our Realignment Programs and the negative impact of decreased
sales on our absorption of fixed manufacturing costs, partially offset by a decrease in broad-based annual
incentive program compensation.
Operating income in 2016 decreased by $158.9 million, or 48.3%, as compared with 2015. The
decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $14 million. The decrease was due to a
$131.3 million decrease in gross profit, and a $29.1 million increase in SG&A (including a decrease due to
currency effects of approximately $21 million). The increase in SG&A is primarily due to increased bad
debt expense as a result of EPD’s $60.9 million portion of the $63.2 million reserve established for our
primary Venezuelan customer in the third quarter of 2016, partially offset by savings achieved related to
our Realignment Programs and lower selling-related expenses.
Operating income in 2015 decreased by $118.2 million, or 26.4%, as compared with 2014. The
decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $28 million. The decrease was due to a
$146.1 million decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a $31.0 million decrease in SG&A (including a
decrease due to currency effects of approximately $49 million). The decrease in SG&A was due primarily
to decreased selling and marketing-related expenses resulting from lower sales, savings associated with
strategic cost reduction programs and a decrease in broad-based annual incentive program compensation,
partially offset by charges related to our Realignment Programs and increased bad debt expenses.
Backlog of $1.0 billion at December 31, 2016 decreased by $190.5 million, or 16.5%, as compared with
December 31, 2015. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $2 million. Backlog at
December 31, 2016 included $11.7 million of interdivision backlog (which is eliminated and not included in
consolidated backlog as disclosed above). Backlog of $1.2 billion at December 31, 2015 decreased by
$416.0 million, or 26.4%, as compared with December 31, 2014. Currency effects provided a decrease of
approximately $80 million. The decrease includes the impact of cancellations of orders booked during
prior years. Order cancellations do not typically result in material negative impacts to our financial results
due to the cancellation provisions of our long lead time contracts. Backlog at December 31, 2015 included

driven by the oil and gas, power generation and chemical industries. Bookings decreased $36.7 million into
Asia Pacific, $19.1 million into Europe, $12.5 million into Africa, $7.7 million into Latin America and
$7.2 million into North America. The decrease was driven by customer original equipment bookings. Of
the $797.7 million of bookings in 2016, approximately 44% were from general industries, 22% from
chemical, 14% from oil and gas, 14% from water management and 6% from power generation.
Interdivision bookings (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated bookings as disclosed

Bookings in 2015 increased by $106.2 million, or 13.6%, as compared with 2014. The increase included
negative currency effects of approximately $42 million. Increased customer bookings in the chemical,
general and power generation industries were partially offset by a decrease in the oil and gas and the water
management industries. Bookings increased $116.1 million into Europe and $30.7 million into Asia Pacific
primarily due to SIHI, partially offset by a $30.5 million decrease into North America. The increase was
primarily driven by customer original equipment bookings. Interdivision bookings (which are eliminated
and are not included in consolidated bookings as disclosed above) decreased $4.5 million. Of the
$887.2 million of bookings in 2015, approximately 38% were from general industries, 23% from chemical,
18% from oil and gas, 13% from water management and 8% from power generation.
Sales in 2016 decreased by $144.7 million, or 14.7%, as compared with 2015. The decrease included
negative currency effects of approximately $13 million and was primarily driven by customer original
equipment sales. Customer sales decreased $54.8 million into Europe, $31.3 million into North America
and $17.8 million into Asia Pacific, $14.5 million into the Middle East, $13.1 million into Latin America
and $5.4 million into Africa. Interdivision sales (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated

Sales in 2015 increased by $176.0 million, or 21.8%, as compared with 2014. The increase included
negative currency effects of approximately $50 million and was primarily driven by customer original
equipment sales. Customer sales increased $151.7 million into Europe, $39.8 million into North America
and $36.6 million into Asia Pacific primarily due to SIHI, partially offset by decreased sales of $29.6 million
into Latin America and $22.1 million into Africa. Interdivision sales (which are eliminated and are not
included in consolidated sales as disclosed above) decreased $0.8 million.
Gross profit in 2016 decreased by $50.1 million, or 20.9%, as compared with 2015. Gross profit margin
in 2016 of 22.6% decreased from 24.4% in 2015. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily
attributable to the negative impact of decreased sales on our absorption of fixed manufacturing costs,
lower margin projects that shipped from backlog and the unfavorable impact of short-term operational
inefficiencies related to the initial execution of certain Realignment Programs, partially offset by savings
achieved related to our Realignment Programs and the reduced impact of SIHI purchase accounting
adjustments in 2016.
Gross profit in 2015 increased by $18.7 million, or 8.5%, as compared with 2014. Gross profit margin
in 2015 of 24.4% decreased from 27.4% in 2014. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily
attributable to charges related to our Realignment Programs and the negative impact of SIHI’s purchase
accounting adjustments, partially offset by a decrease in broad-based annual incentive program
compensation.
Operating income for 2016 decreased by $29.2 million, or 96.7%, as compared with 2015. The
decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $2 million. The decrease was primarily due to
the $50.1 million decrease in gross margin, partially offset by a $21.0 million decrease in SG&A related
primarily to savings achieved and decreased charges related to our Realignment Programs, lower SIHI
integration costs and lower selling-related expenses.
Operating income for 2015 decreased by $76.8 million, or 71.8%, as compared with 2014. The
decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $5 million. The decrease was primarily due to
a $96.6 million increase in SG&A, due primarily to the inclusion of SIHI’s SG&A, which included charges
related to our Realignment Programs and acquisition-related costs, and increased bad debt expense,
partially offset by a decrease in broad-based annual incentive compensation.
Backlog of $373.5 million at December 31, 2016 decreased by $51.1 million, or 12.0%, as compared
with December 31, 2015. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $17 million. Backlog at
December 31, 2016 included $14.2 million of interdivision backlog (which is eliminated and not included in
consolidated backlog as disclosed above). Backlog of $424.6 million at December 31, 2015 decreased by
$30.7 million, or 7.8%, as compared to December 31, 2014. Currency effects provided an decrease of
approximately $16 million. Backlog at December 31, 2015 included $15.7 million of interdivision backlog
(which is eliminated and not included in consolidated backlog as disclosed above).

Bookings in 2016 decreased $101.7 million, or 7.7%, as compared with 2015. The decrease included
negative currency effects of approximately $22 million. The decrease in customer bookings was primarily
driven by the oil and gas industry, and to a lesser extent, the general and chemical industries. Decreased
customer bookings of $69.6 million into North America and $46.7 million into the Middle East were
partially offset by increased bookings of $22.7 million into Europe and $6.6 million into Latin America.
The decrease was primarily driven by decreased customer original equipment bookings. Of the $1.2 billion
of bookings in 2016, approximately 31% were from oil and gas, 28% from chemical, 24% from general
industries, 16% from power generation and 1% from water management.
Bookings in 2015 decreased $346.7 million, or 20.8%, as compared with 2014. The decrease included
negative currency effects of approximately $107 million. The decrease in customer bookings was primarily
driven by the general, chemical, and oil and gas industries. Customer bookings decreased $136.2 million
into Europe, $129.8 million into Asia Pacific, $46.3 million into Latin America and $37.3 million into
North America. The decrease was driven by decreased customer original equipment bookings. Of the
$1.3 billion of bookings in 2015, approximately 32% were from oil and gas, 27% from chemical, 24% from
general industries, 15% from power generation and 2% from water management.
Sales in 2016 decreased by $181.8 million, or 12.8%, as compared with 2015. The decrease included
negative currency effects of approximately $14 million and was primarily driven by decreased customer
original equipment sales. Sales decreased $83.5 million into Asia Pacific, $62.7 million into Europe,
$45.0 million into North America and $18.3 million into Latin America, partially offset by an increase of
$25.9 million into the Middle East.
Sales in 2015 decreased by $200.2 million, or 12.4%, as compared with 2014. The decrease included
negative currency effects of approximately $125 million and was primarily driven by decreased customer
original equipment sales. Sales decreased $66.0 million into Asia Pacific, $54.8 million into Europe,
$38.4 million into North America, $24.3 million into Latin America, and $22.2 million into Africa, partially
offset by an increase of $3.5 million into the Middle East.
Gross profit in 2016 decreased by $70.4 million, or 14.2%, as compared with 2015. Gross profit margin
in 2016 of 34.6% decreased from 35.1% for the same period in 2015. The decrease in gross profit margin
was primarily attributable to the negative impact of decreased sales on our absorption of fixed
manufacturing costs and lower margin projects that shipped from backlog, partially offset by savings
achieved and decreased charges related to our Realignment Programs compared to the same period in
2015.
Gross profit in 2015 decreased by $105.5 million, or 17.5%, as compared with 2014. Gross profit
margin in 2015 of 35.1% decreased from 37.3% for the same period in 2014. The decrease in gross profit
margin was primarily attributable to unfavorable shift in product line mix and charges related to our
Realignment Programs, partially offset by a decrease in broad-based annual incentive compensation.

Operating income in 2016 decreased by $36.2 million, or 15.4%, as compared with 2015. The decrease
included negative currency effects of approximately $2 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to
the $70.4 million decrease in gross profit, partially offset by the $34.2 million decrease in SG&A. The
decrease in SG&A was primarily due to savings achieved and decreased charges related to our
Realignment Programs and lower selling-related expenses as compared to the same period in 2015.
Operating income in 2015 decreased by $88.4 million, or 27.4%, as compared with 2014. The decrease
included negative currency effects of approximately $14 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to
the $105.5 million decrease in gross profit, partially offset by the $17.2 million decrease in SG&A. The
decrease in SG&A was primarily driven by the decrease in broad-based annual incentive compensation,
partially offset by charges related to our Realignment Programs and the $13.4 million gain from the sale of
the Naval business in the first quarter of 2014 that did not recur.
Backlog of $584.5 million at December 31, 2016 decreased by $37.5 million, or 6.0%, as compared
with December 31, 2015. Currency effects provided an increase of less than $1 million. Backlog of
$622 million at December 31, 2015 decreased by $152.8 million, or 19.7%, as compared to December 31,
2014. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $49 million.

Existing cash, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our existing revolving
credit facility are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. We monitor the depository institutions that
hold our cash and cash equivalents on a regular basis, and we believe that we have placed our deposits with
creditworthy financial institutions. Our sources of operating cash generally include the sale of our products
and services and the conversion of our working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventories.
Our total cash balance at December 31, 2016 was $367.2 million, compared with $366.4 million at
December 31, 2015 and $450.4 million at December 31, 2014.
Our cash provided by operating activities was $227.6 million, $418.1 million and $570.2 million in
2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which provided cash to support short-term working capital needs. Cash
flow used by working capital increased in 2016 due primarily to lower accounts payable of $69.8 million
and lower accrued liabilities of $97.7 million, partially offset by higher cash provided by lower accounts
receivable of $37.7 million and lower inventory of $30.9 million. During 2016, we contributed $42.5 million
to our defined benefit pension plans. Working capital increased in 2015 due primarily to lower accounts
payable of $113.6 million and higher inventory of $26.2 million, partially offset by lower accounts
receivable of $50.4 million. During 2015, we contributed $43.8 million to our defined benefit pension plans.
Decreases in accounts receivable provided $37.7 million of cash flow in 2016, as compared with
$50.4 million in 2015 and a use of $79.7 million in 2014. The decrease in accounts receivable in 2016 was
partially attributable to lower sales during the period. As described more fully in Note 1 to our
consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report, we estimated that our ability to
fully collect the accounts receivable from our primary Venezuelan customer became less than probable and
in the third quarter of 2016 we recorded a charge of $63.2 million to selling, general and administrative
expense (‘‘SG&A’’) to fully reserve for those potentially uncollectible accounts receivable. We continue to
pursue payments and on-going business with our Venezuelan customer. For the fourth quarter of 2016 our

days’ sales outstanding (‘‘DSO’’) was 75 days. DSO was 72 days for 2015 and 73 for 2014. We have not
experienced a significant increase in customer payment defaults in 2016.
Decreases in inventory provided $30.9 million of cash flow in 2016 compared with a use of
$26.2 million in 2015 and a use of $35.5 million in 2014. The source of cash from inventory in 2016 was
primarily due to decreased inventory balances as a result of decreased backlog. The use of cash from
inventory in 2015 was primarily due to a decrease in progress billings on large orders at December 31,
2015. Inventory turns were 3.2 times at December 31, 2016, compared with 3.6 times for same period in
both 2015 and 2014. Our calculation of inventory turns does not reflect the impact of advanced cash
received from our customers.
Decreases in accounts payable used $69.8 million of cash flow in 2016 compared with $113.6 million in
2015. Decreases in accrued liabilities and income taxes payable used $97.7 million of cash flow in 2016
compared with a source of cash of $33.4 million in 2015.
Cash flows used by investing activities were $91.5 million, $525.3 million and $84.1 million in 2016,
2015 and 2014, respectively. Capital expenditures represent the largest use in 2016 and were $89.7 million,
$181.9 million and $132.6 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In the second quarter of 2016 we
divested of a non-strategic foundry business which resulted in a cash outflow of $5.1 million and a loss of
$7.7 million. Cash outflows for the same period in 2015 resulted primarily from payments for the SIHI
acquisition of $353.7 million. In 2017, we currently estimate capital expenditures to be between $80 million
and $90 million before consideration of any acquisition activity.
Cash flows used by financing activities were $130.8 million in 2016 compared with a source of cash of
$60.3 million in 2015 and a use of cash of $366.9 million in 2014. Cash outflows during 2016 resulted
primarily from $97.7 million of dividend payments and $60.0 million in payments on long-term debt. Cash
inflows during 2015 resulted primarily from the $526.3 million in proceeds from the issuance of the 2022
EUR Senior Notes, partially offset by outflows from the repurchase of $303.7 million of our common
stock, $93.7 million of dividend payments and $45.0 million in payments on long-term debt. Cash outflows
during 2014 resulted primarily from the repurchase of $246.5 million of our common stock, $85.1 million of
dividend payments and $40.0 million in payments on long-term debt.
We have maintained our previously-announced policy of annually returning 40% to 50% of running
two-year average net earnings to shareholders following attainment of the previously announced target
leverage ratio. On November 13, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $500.0 million share repurchase
authorization, which included approximately $175 million of remaining capacity under the previous share
repurchase authorization. As of December 31, 2016, we had $160.7 million of remaining capacity under
our current share repurchase program. While we intend to adhere to this policy for the foreseeable future,
any future returns of cash through dividends and/or share repurchases, will be reviewed individually,
declared by our Board of Directors and implemented by management at its discretion, depending on our
financial condition, business opportunities and market conditions at such time.
In the fourth quarter of 2015, through amendment we extended the maturity of our Senior Credit
Facility by two years to October 14, 2020, lowered the sublimits for the issuance of letters of credit and
reduced the commitment fee from 0.175% to 0.15% on the daily unused portions of the Senior Credit
Facility. The amended Senior Credit Facility also increases the maximum permitted leverage ratio from
3.25 to 3.5 times debt to total Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility).
Additionally, on March 17, 2015, we issued $500.0 million 2022 EUR Senior Notes, which bear an annual
stated interest rate of 1.25%. These items are more fully described in Note 10 to our consolidated financial
statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
Our cash needs for the next 12 months are expected to be comparable to those of 2016. We believe
cash flows from operating activities, combined with availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and our
existing cash balances, will be sufficient to enable us to meet our cash flow needs for the next 12 months.

However, cash flows from operations could be adversely affected by a decrease in the rate of general global
economic growth and an extended decrease in capital spending of our customers, as well as economic,
political and other risks associated with sales of our products, operational factors, competition, regulatory
actions, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in interest rates, among other
factors. We believe that cash flows from operating activities and our expectation of continuing availability
to draw upon our credit agreements are also sufficient to meet our cash flow needs for periods beyond the
next 12 months.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities of various sizes. The cost and terms of any financing
to be raised in conjunction with any acquisition, including our ability to raise economical capital, is a
critical consideration in any such evaluation.
Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this this Annual Report contains
a discussion of our acquisition and disposition activity.
Financing
A discussion of our debt and related covenants is included in Note 10 to our consolidated financial
statements included in Item 8 of this this Annual Report. We were in compliance with all covenants as of
December 31, 2016.
Certain financing arrangements contain provisions that may result in an event of default if there was a
failure under other financing arrangements to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that
could result in an acceleration of payment due. Such provisions are referred to as ‘‘cross default’’
provisions. The Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Notes as described in Note 10 to our consolidated
financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report are cross-defaulted to each other.
The rating agencies assign credit ratings to certain of our debt. Our access to capital markets and costs
of debt could be directly affected by our credit ratings. Any adverse action with respect to our credit ratings
could generally cause borrowing costs to increase and the potential pool of investors and funding sources
to decrease. In particular, a decline in credit ratings would increase the cost of borrowing under our Senior
Credit Facility.
Liquidity Analysis
Our cash balance increased by $0.7 million to $367.2 million as of December 31, 2016 as compared
with December 31, 2015. The slight cash increase included $89.7 million in capital expenditures,
$97.7 million in dividend payments and $60.0 million in payments on long-term debt, partially offset by
$227.6 million in operating cash flows.
Approximately 27% of our currently outstanding Term Loan Facility (as such term is defined in
Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report) and $33.3 million of
other short-term borrowings are due to mature in 2017 and 2018. Our Senior Credit Facility matures in
October 2020. As of December 31, 2016, we had no revolving loans and $102.6 million letters of credit
outstanding under our $1.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2016, due to a financial
covenant in the Senior Credit Facility, the amount available for borrowings under our Revolving Credit
Facility was effectively limited to $553.5 million. Our Revolving Credit Facility is committed and held by a
diversified group of financial institutions.
At December 31, 2016 and 2015, as a result of increases in values of the plan’s assets and our
contributions to the plan, our U.S. pension plan was fully-funded as defined by applicable law. After
consideration of our intent to maintain fully funded status, we contributed $20.0 million to our U.S.
pension plan in 2016, excluding direct benefits paid of $2.5 million. We continue to maintain an asset

allocation consistent with our strategy to maximize total return, while reducing portfolio risks through asset
class diversification.
At December 31, 2016, $342.8 million of our total cash balance of $367.2 million was held by foreign
subsidiaries, $228.8 million of which we consider permanently reinvested outside the U.S. Based on the
expected 2017 liquidity needs of our various geographies, we currently do not anticipate the need to
repatriate any permanently reinvested cash to fund domestic operations that would generate adverse tax
results. However, in the event this cash is needed to fund domestic operations, we estimate the
$228.8 million could be repatriated resulting in a U.S. cash tax liability between $5 million and $15 million.
Should we be required to repatriate this cash, it could limit our ability to assert permanent reinvestment of
foreign earnings and invested capital in future periods.
OUTLOOK FOR 2017
Our future results of operations and other forward-looking statements contained in this Annual
Report, including this MD&A, involve a number of risks and uncertainties — in particular, the statements
regarding our goals and strategies, new product introductions, plans to cultivate new businesses, future
economic conditions, revenue, pricing, gross profit margin and costs, capital spending, expected cost
savings from our realignment programs, depreciation and amortization, research and development
expenses, potential impairment of investments, tax rate and pending tax and legal proceedings. Our future
results of operations may also be affected by employee incentive compensation including our annual
program and the amount, type and valuation of share-based awards granted, as well as the amount of
awards forfeited due to employee turnover. In addition to the various important factors discussed above, a
number of other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. See the risks
described in ‘‘Item 1A. Risk Factors’’ of this Annual Report.
Our bookings were $3,760.4 million during 2016. Because a booking represents a contract that can be,
in certain circumstances, modified or canceled, and can include varying lengths between the time of
booking and the time of revenue recognition, there is no guarantee that bookings will result in comparable
revenues or otherwise be indicative of future results.
We believe lower oil prices that began in the fourth quarter of 2014 will continue to negatively impact
oil and gas upstream investment most acutely and impact mid-stream and downstream investment to a
lesser extent. In addition, a reduction in the overall level of spending by oil and gas companies could
continue to decrease demand for our products and services. However, we believe the long-term
fundamentals for this industry remain solid in spite of the current down cycle as the industry works through
current excess supply with projected depletion rates of existing fields and forecasted long-term demand
growth. With our long-standing reputation in providing successful solutions for upstream, mid-stream and
downstream applications, along with the advancements in our portfolio of offerings, we believe that we
continue to be well-positioned to assist our customers in this challenging environment.
We expect a continued competitive economic environment in 2017. Continued execution of our
Realignment Programs and investments in broad-based employee incentive compensation, while providing
long-term benefits, will pressure operating margins in 2017. We anticipate benefits from the continuation
of our end-user strategies, the strength of our high margin aftermarket business, continued disciplined cost
management, our diverse customer base, our broad product portfolio and our unified operating platform.
Similar to prior years, we expect our results will be weighted towards the second half of the year. While we
believe that our primary markets continue to provide opportunities, we remain cautious in our outlook for
2017 given the continuing uncertainty of capital spending in many of our markets and global economic
conditions. Accordingly, due to the decrease in backlog at December 31, 2016 as compared with the prior
year and a continued competitive environment we expect that sales will decline between 6% to 11% in
2017. For additional discussion on our markets and our opportunities, see the ‘‘Business Overview — Our
Markets’’ section of this MD&A.

On December 31, 2016, we had $1,313.1 million of fixed-rate Senior Notes outstanding and
$224.3 million of variable-rate debt under our Term Loan Facility. As of December 31, 2016, we had no
variable to fixed interest rate derivative contracts. However, because a portion of our debt carries a
variable rate of interest, our debt is subject to volatility in rates, which could impact interest expense. We
expect our interest expense in 2017 will be relatively consistent with amounts incurred in 2016. Our results
of operations may also be impacted by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. See
‘‘Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk’’ of this Annual Report.
We expect to generate sufficient cash from operations and have sufficient capacity under our
Revolving Credit Facility to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, dividend payments, share
repurchases, debt payments and pension plan contributions in 2017. The amount of cash generated or
consumed by working capital is dependent on our level of revenues, customer cash advances, backlog,
customer-driven delays and other factors. We seek to improve our working capital utilization, with a
particular focus on improving the management of accounts receivable and inventory. In 2017, our cash
flows for investing activities will be focused on strategic initiatives to pursue new markets, geographic
expansion, information technology infrastructure and cost reduction opportunities and we currently
estimate capital expenditures to be between $80 million and $90 million, before consideration of any
acquisition activity. We have $60.0 million in scheduled principal repayments in 2017 under our Term Loan
Facility, and we expect to comply with the covenants under our Senior Credit Facility in 2017. See Note 10
to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report for further discussion of
our debt covenants.
We currently anticipate that our minimum contribution to our qualified U.S. pension plan will be
approximately $20 million, excluding direct benefits paid, in 2017 in order to maintain fully-funded status
as defined by applicable law. We currently anticipate that our contributions to our non-U.S. pension plans
will be approximately $6 million in 2017, excluding direct benefits paid.

(4) Retirement and postretirement benefits represent estimated benefit payments for our U.S. and
non-U.S. defined benefit plans and our postretirement medical plans, as more fully described below
and in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
As of December 31, 2016, the gross liability for uncertain tax positions was $59.3 million. We do not
expect a material payment related to these obligations to be made within the next twelve months. We are
unable to provide a reasonably reliable estimate of the timing of future payments relating to the uncertain
tax positions.

PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OBLIGATIONS
Plan Descriptions
We and certain of our subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution plans
for full-time and part-time employees. Approximately 65% of total defined benefit pension plan assets and
approximately 54% of defined benefit pension obligations are related to the U.S. qualified plan as of
December 31, 2016. The assets for the U.S. qualified plan are held in a single trust with a common asset
allocation. Unless specified otherwise, the references in this section are to all of our U.S. and non-U.S.
plans. None of our common stock is directly held by these plans.
Our U.S. defined benefit plan assets consist of a balanced portfolio of primarily U.S. equity and fixed
income securities. Our non-U.S. defined benefit plan assets include a significant concentration of United
Kingdom (‘‘U.K.’’) fixed income securities, as discussed in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements
included in Item 8 of this Annual Report. We monitor investment allocations and manage plan assets to
maintain acceptable levels of risk. At December 31, 2016, the estimated fair market value of U.S. and
non-U.S. plan assets for our defined benefit pension plans increased to $642.3 million from $639.0 million
at December 31, 2015. Assets were allocated as follows:

The projected benefit obligation (‘‘Benefit Obligation’’) for our defined benefit pension plans was
$833.5 million and $812.4 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Benefits under our
defined benefit pension plans are based primarily on participants’ compensation and years of credited
service.
The estimated prior service cost and the estimated actuarial net loss for the defined benefit pension
plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net pension expense in 2017
is approximately $0.1 million and $9.5 million, respectively. We amortize estimated prior service costs and
estimated net losses over the remaining expected service period or over the remaining expected lifetime
for plans with only inactive participants.
We sponsor defined benefit postretirement medical plans covering certain current retirees and a
limited number of future retirees in the U.S. These plans provide for medical and dental benefits and are
administered through insurance companies. We fund the plans as benefits are paid, such that the plans
hold no assets in any period presented. Accordingly, we have no investment strategy or targeted allocations
for plan assets. The benefits under the plans are not available to new employees or most existing
employees.
The Benefit Obligation for our defined benefit postretirement medical plans was $27.3 million and
$28.6 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The estimated actuarial net loss for the
defined benefit postretirement medical plans that will be amortized from accumulated other
comprehensive loss into net pension expense in 2017 is $0.1 million. The estimated prior service cost that is
expected to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into pension expense in 2017 is
$0.1 million. We amortize any estimated net loss over the remaining expected service period of
approximately three years.
Accrual Accounting and Significant Assumptions
We account for pension benefits using the accrual method, recognizing pension expense before the
payment of benefits to retirees. The accrual method of accounting for pension benefits requires actuarial
assumptions concerning future events that will determine the amount and timing of the benefit payments.

Our key assumptions used in calculating our cost of pension benefits are the discount rate, the rate of
compensation increase and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. We, in consultation with
our actuaries, evaluate the key actuarial assumptions and other assumptions used in calculating the cost of
pension and postretirement benefits, such as discount rates, expected return on plan assets for funded
plans, mortality rates, retirement rates and assumed rate of compensation increases, and determine such
assumptions as of December 31 of each year to calculate liability information as of that date and pension
and postretirement expense for the following year. See discussion of our accounting for and assumptions
related to pension and postretirement benefits in the ‘‘Our Critical Accounting Estimates’’ section of this
MD&A.
In 2016, net pension expense for our defined benefit pension plans included in operating income was
$37.5 million compared with $40.1 million in 2015 and $45.5 million in 2014.

At December 31, 2016, as compared with December 31, 2015, we decreased our discount rate for the
U.S. plan from 4.75% to 4.00% based on an analysis of publicly-traded investment grade U.S. corporate
bonds, which had lower yields due to current market conditions. The average discount rate for the
non-U.S. plans decreased from 3.13% to 2.34% based on analysis of bonds and other publicly-traded
instruments, by country, which had lower yields due to market conditions. The average assumed rate of
compensation remained relatively constant at approximately 4.00% for the U.S. plan and decreased to
3.22% from 3.61% for our non-U.S. plans. To determine the 2016 pension expense, the expected rate of
return on U.S. plan assets decreased to 6.00% from 6.25% and we decreased our average rate of return on
non-U.S. plan assets from 5.03% to 4.68%, primarily based on our target allocations and expected
long-term asset returns. As the expected rate of return on plan assets is long-term in nature, short-term
market changes do not significantly impact the rate. For all U.S. plans, we adopted the RP-2006 mortality
tables and the MP-2016 improvement scale published in October 2016. We applied the RP-2006 tables
based on the constituency of our plan population for union and non-union participants. We adjusted the
improvement scale to utilize 75% of the ultimate improvement rate, consistent with assumptions adopted
by the Social Security Administration trustees, based on long-term historical experience. Currently, we
believe this approach provides the best estimate of our future obligation. Most plan participants elect to
receive plan benefits as a lump sum at the end of service, rather than an annuity. As such, the updated
mortality tables had an immaterial effect on our pension obligation.
We expect that the net pension expense for our defined benefit pension plans included in earnings
before income taxes will be approximately $3.5 million lower in 2017 than the $37.5 million in 2016,
primarily due to the reduction in the amortization of the actuarial net loss. We have used discount rates of
4.00%, 2.34% and 3.75% at December 31, 2016, in calculating our estimated 2017 net pension expense for
U.S. pension plans, non-U.S. pension plans and postretirement medical plans, respectively.
The assumed ranges for the annual rates of increase in health care costs were 7.5% for 2016, 2015 and
2014, with a gradual decrease to 5.0% for 2025 and future years. If actual costs are higher than those
assumed, this will likely put modest upward pressure on our expense for retiree health care.
Plan Funding
Our funding policy for defined benefit plans is to contribute at least the amounts required under
applicable laws and local customs. We contributed $42.5 million, $43.8 million and $43.5 million to our
defined benefit plans in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. After consideration of our intent to remain
fully-funded based on standards set by law, we currently anticipate that our contribution to our U.S.
pension plan in 2017 will be approximately $20 million, excluding direct benefits paid. We expect to
contribute approximately $6 million to our non-U.S. pension plans in 2017, excluding direct benefits paid.
For further discussion of our pension and postretirement benefits, see Note 11 to our consolidated
financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
OUR CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of
estimates and assumptions to determine reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses and the disclosure of related contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions
are based upon information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions, including our historical
experience, where relevant. The most significant estimates made by management include: timing and
amount of revenue recognition; deferred taxes, tax valuation allowances and tax reserves; reserves for
contingent loss; pension and postretirement benefits; and valuation of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible
assets and other long-lived assets. The significant estimates are reviewed at least annually if not quarterly
by management. Because of the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates, assumptions and
judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements, actual results may differ from the estimates,
and the difference may be material.

Our critical accounting policies are those policies that are both most important to our financial
condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments on the
part of management in their application, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of
matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that the following represent our critical accounting
policies. For a summary of all of our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to our consolidated
financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report. Management and our external auditors have
discussed our critical accounting estimates and policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of
Directors.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues for product sales are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to
the customers, which is typically based on the contractual delivery terms agreed to with the customer and
fulfillment of all but inconsequential or perfunctory actions. In addition, our policy requires persuasive
evidence of an arrangement, a fixed or determinable sales price and reasonable assurance of collectibility.
We defer the recognition of revenue when advance payments are received from customers before
performance obligations have been completed and/or services have been performed. Freight charges billed
to customers are included in sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of sales in our
consolidated statements of income. Our contracts typically include cancellation provisions that require
customers to reimburse us for costs incurred up to the date of cancellation, as well as any contractual
cancellation penalties.
We enter into certain agreements with multiple deliverables that may include any combination of
designing, developing, manufacturing, modifying, installing and commissioning of flow management
equipment and providing services related to the performance of such products. Delivery of these products
and services typically occurs within a one to two-year period, although many arrangements, such as ‘‘short-
cycle’’ type orders, have a shorter timeframe for delivery. We separate deliverables into units of accounting
based on whether the deliverable(s) have standalone value to the customer (impact of general rights of
return is immaterial). Contract value is allocated ratably to the units of accounting in the arrangement
based on their relative selling prices determined as if the deliverables were sold separately.
Revenues for long-term contracts that exceed certain internal thresholds regarding the size and
duration of the project and provide for the receipt of progress billings from the customer are recorded on
the percentage of completion method with progress measured on a cost-to-cost basis. Percentage of
completion revenue represents less than 7% of our consolidated sales for each year presented.
Revenue on service and repair contracts is recognized after services have been agreed to by the
customer and rendered. Revenues generated under fixed fee service and repair contracts are recognized on
a ratable basis over the term of the contract. These contracts can range in duration, but generally extend
for up to five years. Fixed fee service contracts represent approximately 1% of consolidated sales for each
year presented.
In certain instances, we provide guaranteed completion dates under the terms of our contracts. Failure
to meet contractual delivery dates can result in late delivery penalties or non-recoverable costs. In
instances where the payment of such costs are deemed to be probable, we perform a project profitability
analysis, accounting for such costs as a reduction of realizable revenues, which could potentially cause
estimated total project costs to exceed projected total revenues realized from the project. In such instances,
we would record reserves to cover such excesses in the period they are determined. In circumstances where
the total projected revenues still exceed total projected costs, the incurrence of penalties or
non-recoverable costs generally reduces profitability of the project at the time of subsequent revenue
recognition. Our reported results would change if different estimates were used for contract costs or if
different estimates were used for contractual contingencies.

Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves
We recognize valuation allowances to reduce the carrying value of deferred tax assets to amounts that
we expect are more likely than not to be realized. Our valuation allowances primarily relate to the deferred
tax assets established for certain tax credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards for non-U.S.
subsidiaries, and we evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets by assessing the related valuation
allowance and by adjusting the amount of these allowances, if necessary. We assess such factors as our
forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to
realize the net deferred tax assets in determining the sufficiency of our valuation allowances. Failure to
achieve forecasted taxable income in the applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of
deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in our effective tax rate on future earnings.
Implementation of different tax structures in certain jurisdictions could, if successful, result in future
reductions of certain valuation allowances.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax
authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. Significant judgment is required in determining
income tax provisions and evaluating tax positions. We establish reserves for open tax years for uncertain
tax positions that may be subject to challenge by various tax authorities. The consolidated tax provision and
related accruals include the impact of such reasonably estimable losses and related interest and penalties
as deemed appropriate. Tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from uncertain tax positions are
measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized
upon ultimate settlement.
While we believe we have adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related to
these matters, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax
liabilities. To the extent that the expected tax outcome of these matters changes, such changes in estimate
will impact the income tax provision in the period in which such determination is made.
Reserves for Contingent Loss
Liabilities are recorded for various contingencies arising in the normal course of business when it is
both probable that a loss has been incurred and such loss is estimable. Assessments of reserves are based
on information obtained from our independent and in-house experts, including recent legal decisions and
loss experience in similar situations. The recorded legal reserves are susceptible to changes due to new
developments regarding the facts and circumstances of each matter, changes in political environments,
legal venue and other factors. Recorded environmental reserves could change based on further analysis of
our properties, technological innovation and regulatory environment changes.
Estimates of liabilities for unsettled asbestos-related claims are based on known claims and on our
experience during the preceding two years for claims filed, settled and dismissed, with adjustments for
events deemed unusual and unlikely to recur. A substantial majority of our asbestos-related claims are
covered by insurance or indemnities. Estimated indemnities and receivables from insurance carriers for
unsettled claims and receivables for settlements and legal fees paid by us for asbestos-related claims are
estimated using our historical experience with insurance recovery rates and estimates of future recoveries,
which include estimates of coverage and financial viability of our insurance carriers. We have claims
pending against certain insurers that, if resolved more favorably than estimated future recoveries, would
result in discrete gains in the applicable quarter. We are currently unable to estimate the impact, if any, of
unasserted asbestos-related claims, although future claims would also be subject to existing indemnities
and insurance coverage. Changes in claims filed, settled and dismissed and differences between actual and
estimated settlement costs and insurance or indemnity recoveries could impact future expense.

Pension and Postretirement Benefits
We provide pension and postretirement benefits to certain of our employees, including former
employees, and their beneficiaries. The assets, liabilities and expenses we recognize and disclosures we
make about plan actuarial and financial information are dependent on the assumptions and estimates used
in calculating such amounts. The assumptions include factors such as discount rates, health care cost trend
rates, inflation, expected rates of return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates, turnover, rates of
compensation increases and other factors.
The assumptions utilized to compute expense and benefit obligations are shown in Note 11 to our
consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report. These assumptions are
assessed annually in consultation with independent actuaries and investment advisors as of December 31
and adjustments are made as needed. We evaluate prevailing market conditions and local laws and
requirements in countries where plans are maintained, including appropriate rates of return, interest rates
and medical inflation (health care cost trend) rates. We ensure that our significant assumptions are within
the reasonable range relative to market data. The methodology to set our significant assumptions includes:
(cid:127) Discount rates are estimated using high quality debt securities based on corporate or government
bond yields with a duration matching the expected benefit payments. For the U.S. the discount rate
is obtained from an analysis of publicly-traded investment-grade corporate bonds to establish a
weighted average discount rate. For plans in the U.K. and the Eurozone we use the discount rate
obtained from an analysis of AA-graded corporate bonds used to generate a yield curve. For other
countries or regions without a corporate AA bond market, government bond rates are used. Our
discount rate assumptions are impacted by changes in general economic and market conditions that
affect interest rates on long-term high-quality debt securities, as well as the duration of our plans’
liabilities.
(cid:127) The expected rates of return on plan assets are derived from reviews of asset allocation strategies,
expected long-term performance of asset classes, risks and other factors adjusted for our specific
investment strategy. These rates are impacted by changes in general market conditions, but because
they are long-term in nature, short-term market changes do not significantly impact the rates.
Changes to our target asset allocation also impact these rates.
(cid:127) The expected rates of compensation increase reflect estimates of the change in future compensation
levels due to general price levels, seniority, age and other factors.
Depending on the assumptions used, the pension and postretirement expense could vary within a
range of outcomes and have a material effect on reported earnings. In addition, the assumptions can
materially affect benefit obligations and future cash funding. Actual results in any given year may differ
from those estimated because of economic and other factors.
We evaluate the funded status of each retirement plan using current assumptions and determine the
appropriate funding level considering applicable regulatory requirements, tax deductibility, reporting
considerations, cash flow requirements and other factors. We discuss our funding assumptions with the
Finance Committee of our Board of Directors.
Valuation of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets
The initial recording of goodwill and intangible assets requires subjective judgments concerning
estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets. We test the value of goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets for impairment as of December 31 each year or whenever events or circumstances
indicate such assets may be impaired.
The test for goodwill impairment involves significant judgment in estimating projections of fair value
generated through future performance of each of the reporting units. The identification of our reporting

units began at the operating segment level and considered whether components one level below the
operating segment levels should be identified as reporting units for purpose of testing goodwill for
impairment based on certain conditions. These conditions included, among other factors, (i) the extent to
which a component represents a business and (ii) the aggregation of economically similar components
within the operating segments and resulted in five reporting units. Other factors that were considered in
determining whether the aggregation of components was appropriate included the similarity of the nature
of the products and services, the nature of the production processes, the methods of distribution and the
types of industries served.
An impairment loss for goodwill is recognized if the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the
carrying value. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based on an income approach, whereby we
calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. A
discounted cash flow analysis requires us to make various judgmental assumptions about future sales,
operating margins, growth rates and discount rates, which are based on our budgets, business plans,
economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and market participants. Assumptions are also made
for varying perpetual growth rates for periods beyond the long-term business plan period.
We did not record an impairment of goodwill in 2016, 2015 or 2014; however the estimated fair value
of our Engineered Product Operations (‘‘EPO’’) and IPD reporting units reduced significantly due to
broad-based capital spending declines and heightened pricing pressure experienced in the oil and gas
markets which are anticipated to continue in the near to mid-term. The EPO reporting unit is a component
of our EPD reporting segment and is primarily focused on long lead time, custom and other highly-
engineered pumps and pump systems. As of December 31, 2016 our EPO reporting unit had approximately
$156 million of goodwill and its estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 45%. In
addition, our IPD reporting unit, which is primarily focused on pre-configured industrial pumps and pump
systems had approximately $298 million of goodwill and it fair value exceeded its carrying value by
approximately 70%. Key assumptions used in determining the estimated fair value of our EPO and IPD
reporting units included the annual operating plan and forecasted operating results, successful execution of
our current realignment programs and identified strategic initiatives, a constant cost of capital, a
short-term stabilization and mid to long-term improvement of the macro-economic conditions of the oil
and gas market, and a relatively stable global gross domestic product. A 100 basis point increase in our cost
of capital would reduce the estimated fair values of both EPO and IPD reporting units by approximately
13%, which coupled with a prolonged down cycle of the oil and gas markets, could potentially put both
reporting units’ goodwill at risk of a future impairment. Although we have concluded that there is no
impairment on the goodwill associated with our EPO and IPD reporting units as of December 31, 2016, we
will continue to closely monitor their performance and related market conditions for future indicators of
potential impairment and reassess accordingly.
We also consider our market capitalization in our evaluation of the fair value of our goodwill. Our
market capitalization increased as compared with 2015 and did not indicate a potential impairment of our
goodwill as of December 31, 2016.
Impairment losses for indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized whenever the estimated fair
value is less than the carrying value. Fair values are calculated for trademarks using a ‘‘relief from royalty’’
method, which estimates the fair value of a trademark by determining the present value of estimated
royalty payments that are avoided as a result of owning the trademark. This method includes judgmental
assumptions about sales growth and discount rates that have a significant impact on the fair value and are
substantially consistent with the assumptions used to determine the fair value of our reporting units
discussed above. We did not record a material impairment of our trademarks in 2016, 2015 or 2014.
The recoverable value of other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-
lived intangible assets, is reviewed when indicators of potential impairments are present. The recoverable
value is based upon an assessment of the estimated future cash flows related to those assets, utilizing

assumptions similar to those for goodwill. Additional considerations related to our long-lived assets
include expected maintenance and improvements, changes in expected uses and ongoing operating
performance and utilization.
Due to uncertain market conditions and potential changes in strategy and product portfolio, it is
possible that forecasts used to support asset carrying values may change in the future, which could result in
non-cash charges that would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
We have presented the information about accounting pronouncements not yet implemented in Note 1
to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have market risk exposure arising from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange
rate movements. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by
counterparties to financial instruments, but we currently expect all counterparties will continue to meet
their obligations given their current creditworthiness.
Interest Rate Risk
Our earnings are impacted by changes in short-term interest rates as a result of borrowings under our
Senior Credit Facility, which bear interest based on floating rates. At December 31, 2016, we had
$224.3 million of variable rate debt obligations outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility with a
weighted average interest rate of 2.25%. A hypothetical change of 100 basis points in the interest rate for
these borrowings, assuming constant variable rate debt levels, would have changed interest expense by
$2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A substantial portion of our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in
currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The primary currencies in which we operate, in addition to the U.S.
dollar, are the Argentine peso, Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese
yuan, Colombian peso, Euro, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona,
Russian ruble, Malaysian ringgit and Venezuelan bolivar. Almost all of our non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct
their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Foreign
currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars
and from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated transactions, denominated in a
currency other than a non-U.S. subsidiary’s functional currency. In March 2015, we designated
A255.7 million of our A500.0 million 2022 EUR Senior Notes as a net investment hedge of our investments
in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency. Generally, we
view our investments in foreign subsidiaries from a long-term perspective and use capital structuring
techniques to manage our investment in foreign subsidiaries as deemed necessary. We realized net losses
associated with foreign currency translation of $72.1 million, $174.9 million and $148.6 million for the years
ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which are included in other comprehensive loss.
The net loss in 2016 was primarily driven by the weakening of the British pound, Euro and Mexican peso
versus the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2016 as compared with December 31, 2015.
We employ a foreign currency risk management strategy to minimize potential changes in cash flows
from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. Where available, the use of forward
exchange contracts allows us to mitigate transactional exposure to exchange rate fluctuations as the gains
or losses incurred on the forward exchange contracts will offset, in whole or in part, losses or gains on the
underlying foreign currency exposure. Our policy allows foreign currency coverage only for identifiable

foreign currency exposures, and beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013 instruments that meet certain
criteria are designated for hedge accounting. As of December 31, 2016, we had a U.S. dollar equivalent of
$393.8 million in aggregate notional amount outstanding in foreign exchange contracts with third parties,
compared with $397.3 million at December 31, 2015. Transactional currency gains and losses arising from
transactions outside of our sites’ functional currencies and changes in fair value of non-designated foreign
exchange contracts are included in our consolidated results of operations. We recognized foreign currency
net gains (losses) of $3.8 million, $(38.7) million and $2.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016,
2015 and 2014, respectively, which are included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying
consolidated statements of income. See discussion of the impact in 2015 of the devaluation of the
Venezuelan bolivar in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual
Report.
Based on a sensitivity analysis at December 31, 2016, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange
rates for the year ended December 31, 2016 would have impacted our net earnings by approximately
$5 million. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion
relative to the U.S. dollar and that there are no indirect effects, such as changes in non-U.S. dollar sales
volumes or prices. This calculation does not take into account the impact of the foreign currency forward
exchange contracts discussed above.
Hedging related transactions for designated foreign exchange contracts recorded to other
comprehensive loss, net of deferred taxes, are summarized in Note 17 to our consolidated financial
statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
We expect to recognize losses of $0.1 million, net of deferred taxes, into earnings in the next twelve
months related to designated cash flow hedges based on their fair values at December 31, 2016.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Flowserve Corporation:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under
Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Flowserve Corporation and its
subsidiaries at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedule listed in the accompanying index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial
statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on criteria established in Internal
Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements
and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for
its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these
financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the
assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have
a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2016 AND 2015 AND FOR THE
THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2016
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
We are principally engaged in the worldwide design, manufacture, distribution and service of
industrial flow management equipment. We provide long lead time, custom and other highly-engineered
pumps; standardized, general-purpose pumps; mechanical seals; industrial valves; and related automation
products and solutions primarily for oil and gas, chemical, power generation, water management and other
general industries requiring flow management products and services. Equipment manufactured and
serviced by us is predominantly used in industries that deal with difficult-to-handle and corrosive fluids, as
well as environments with extreme temperatures, pressure, horsepower and speed. Our business is affected
by economic conditions in the United States (‘‘U.S.’’) and other countries where our products are sold and
serviced, by the cyclical nature and competitive environment of our industries served, by the relationship of
the U.S. dollar to other currencies and by the demand for and pricing of our customers’ end products.
Venezuela — Our operations in Venezuela primarily consist of a service center that performs service
and repair activities. Our Venezuelan subsidiary’s sales for the year ended December 31, 2016 represented
less than 0.5% of consolidated sales and its assets at December 31, 2016 represented less than 0.5% of total
consolidated assets. Assets primarily consisted of United States (‘‘U.S.’’) dollar-denominated monetary
assets and bolivar-denominated non-monetary assets at December 31, 2016. In addition, certain of our
operations in other countries sell equipment and parts that are typically denominated in U.S. dollars
directly to Venezuelan customers.
We continue to experience delays in collecting payment on our accounts receivable from the national
oil company in Venezuela, our primary Venezuelan customer. Our total outstanding gross accounts
receivable with this customer was approximately 6% and 7% of our gross accounts receivable at
December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, of which 100% and 64% has been classified as
long-term within other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016 and
2015, respectively. These accounts receivable are primarily U.S. dollar-denominated and not disputed.
However, while we have not historically had write-offs relating to this customer, the accounts receivable
continue to be significantly in arrears. The increased deterioration of the social, political, economic and
legal climate in 2016 has given rise to significant uncertainties about Venezuela’s economic and political
stability, and while we continue to conduct business on a prepayment basis with the Venezuelan customer,
the volume of activity has diminished significantly throughout 2016 from prior year levels. In September
2016, the Venezuelan customer offered current bondholders the ability to swap their current bonds for new
bonds with a delayed maturity, price premium and higher coupon rate due to their current inability to
service their debt obligations. As a result of the bond swap offer, S&P Global Ratings downgraded the
customer’s bonds to CC which potentially indicates that default is imminent with little prospect for
recovery. Although we do not currently hold any related bonds, we interpreted this action to be indicative
of the customer’s increasing inability to make future payments on our accounts receivable. Accordingly,
due to these actions and the diminished activity of business and payments in 2016, we estimated that our
ability to fully collect the accounts receivable from our primary Venezuelan customer became less than
probable and in the third quarter of 2016 we recorded a charge of $63.2 million to selling, general and
administrative expense (‘‘SG&A’’) to fully reserve for those potentially uncollectible accounts receivable
and a charge to cost of sales (‘‘COS’’) of $1.9 million to reserve for related net inventory exposures. We
continue to pursue payments and on-going business with our Venezuelan customer.
At December 31, 2016 the DICOM exchange rate (formerly SIMADI) was 674 bolivars to the U.S.
dollar, compared with the official exchange rate of 10.0 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2015,

we determined, based on our specific facts and circumstances, that the SIMADI exchange rate was the
most appropriate for the remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiary’s bolivar-denominated net
monetary assets in U.S. dollars. As a result of the remeasurement, in the first quarter of 2015 we
recognized a loss of $20.6 million of which $18.5 million was reported in other income (expense), net and
$2.1 million in cost of goods sold in our condensed consolidated statement of income and resulted in no tax
benefit. As of December 31, 2016, we believe the DICOM exchange rate continues to be the most
appropriate rate to remeasure the U.S. dollar value of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of our
Venezuelan subsidiary.
Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our
company and our wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. In addition, we would consolidate any variable
interest entities for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests of
non-affiliated parties have been recognized for all majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany
profits/losses, transactions and balances among consolidated entities have been eliminated from our
consolidated financial statements. Investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies, which represent
noncontrolling ownership interests between 20% and 50%, are accounted for using the equity method,
which approximates our equity interest in their underlying equivalent net book value under accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. (‘‘U.S. GAAP’’). Investments in interests where we own less than
20% of the investee are accounted for by the cost method, whereby income is only recognized in the event
of dividend receipt. Investments accounted for by the cost method are tested for impairment if an
impairment indicator is present.
Use of Estimates — The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP
requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results
may differ materially from such estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions are used in
determining:
(cid:127) Timing and amount of revenue recognition;
(cid:127) Deferred taxes, tax valuation allowances and tax reserves;
(cid:127) Reserves for contingent loss;
(cid:127) Pension and postretirement benefits; and
(cid:127) Valuation of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets.
Revenue Recognition — Revenues for product sales are recognized when the risks and rewards of
ownership are transferred to the customers, which is typically based on the contractual delivery terms
agreed to with the customer and fulfillment of all but inconsequential or perfunctory actions. In addition,
our policy requires persuasive evidence of an arrangement, a fixed or determinable sales price and
reasonable assurance of collectibility. We defer the recognition of revenue when advance payments are
received from customers before performance obligations have been completed and/or services have been
performed. Freight charges billed to customers are included in sales and the related shipping costs are
included in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income. Our contracts typically include
cancellation provisions that require customers to reimburse us for costs incurred up to the date of
cancellation, as well as any contractual cancellation penalties.
We enter into certain agreements with multiple deliverables that may include any combination of
designing, developing, manufacturing, modifying, installing and commissioning of flow management
equipment and providing services related to the performance of such products. Delivery of these products
and services typically occurs within a one to two-year period, although many arrangements, such as ‘‘short-
cycle’’ type orders, have a shorter timeframe for delivery. We separate deliverables into units of accounting
based on whether the deliverable(s) have standalone value to the customer (impact of general rights of

return is immaterial). Contract value is allocated ratably to the units of accounting in the arrangement
based on their relative selling prices determined as if the deliverables were sold separately.
Revenues for long-term contracts that exceed certain internal thresholds regarding the size and
duration of the project and provide for the receipt of progress billings from the customer are recorded on
the percentage of completion method with progress measured on a cost-to-cost basis. Percentage of
completion revenue represents less than 7% of our consolidated sales for each year presented.
Revenue on service and repair contracts is recognized after services have been agreed to by the
customer and rendered. Revenues generated under fixed fee service and repair contracts are recognized on
a ratable basis over the term of the contract. These contracts can range in duration, but generally extend
for up to five years. Fixed fee service contracts represent approximately 1% of consolidated sales for each
year presented.
In certain instances, we provide guaranteed completion dates under the terms of our contracts. Failure
to meet contractual delivery dates can result in late delivery penalties or non-recoverable costs. In
instances where the payment of such costs are deemed to be probable, we perform a project profitability
analysis, accounting for such costs as a reduction of realizable revenues, which could potentially cause
estimated total project costs to exceed projected total revenues realized from the project. In such instances,
we would record reserves to cover such excesses in the period they are determined. In circumstances where
the total projected revenues still exceed total projected costs, the incurrence of penalties or
non-recoverable costs generally reduces profitability of the project at the time of subsequent revenue
recognition.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — We place temporary cash investments with financial institutions and, by
policy, invest in those institutions and instruments that have minimal credit risk and market risk. These
investments, with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, are classified as cash
equivalents. They are highly liquid and principal values are not subject to significant risk of change due to
interest rate fluctuations.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Risk — The allowance for doubtful accounts is established
based on estimates of the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable, which is determined principally
based upon the aging of the accounts receivable, but also customer credit history, industry and market
segment information, economic trends and conditions and credit reports. Customer credit issues, customer
bankruptcies or general economic conditions may also impact our estimates.
Credit risks are mitigated by the diversity of our customer base across many different geographic
regions and industries and by performing creditworthiness analyses on our customers. Additionally, we
mitigate credit risk through letters of credit and advance payments received from our customers. In 2016
we have experienced increased aging and slower collection of receivables with our primary Venezuelan
customer. Due to certain actions of this customer and the diminished activity of business and payments in
2016, we have estimated that our ability to fully collect the accounts receivable from our primary
Venezuelan customer has become less than probable and we recorded a charge to selling, general and
administrative expense (‘‘SG&A’’) to fully reserve for those potential uncollectible accounts receivable and
a charge to cost of sales (‘‘COS’’) to reserve for related net inventory exposures. We do not believe that we
have any other significant concentrations of credit risk.
Inventories and Related Reserves — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined by the first-in, first-out method. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventories are based upon
our assessment of market conditions for our products determined by historical usage and estimated future
demand. Due to the long life cycles of our products, we carry spare parts inventories that have historically
low usage rates and provide reserves for such inventory based on demonstrated usage and aging criteria.

Income Taxes, Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves — We account for income
taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes
the enactment date. We record valuation allowances to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets
that may not be realized based upon our analysis of existing deferred tax assets, net operating losses and
tax credits by jurisdiction and expectations of our ability to utilize these tax attributes through a review of
past, current and estimated future taxable income and establishment of tax strategies.
We provide deferred taxes for the temporary differences associated with our investment in foreign
subsidiaries that have a financial reporting basis that exceeds tax basis, unless we can assert permanent
reinvestment in foreign jurisdictions. Financial reporting basis and tax basis differences in investments in
foreign subsidiaries consist of both unremitted earnings and losses, as well as foreign currency translation
adjustments.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state, and foreign tax
authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. We establish reserves for open tax years for
uncertain tax positions that may be subject to challenge by various tax authorities. The consolidated tax
provision and related accruals include the impact of such reasonably estimable losses and related interest
and penalties as deemed appropriate.
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the
tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the
technical merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the
relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The tax benefits recognized in
the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater
than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Legal and Environmental Contingencies — Legal and environmental reserves are recorded based upon
a case-by-case analysis of the relevant facts and circumstances and an assessment of potential legal
obligations and costs. Amounts relating to legal and environmental liabilities are recorded when it is
probable that a loss has been incurred and such loss is estimable. Assessments of legal and environmental
costs are based on information obtained from our independent and in-house experts and our loss
experience in similar situations. Estimates are updated as applicable when new information regarding the
facts and circumstances of each matter becomes available. Legal fees associated with legal and
environmental liabilities are expensed as incurred.
Estimates of liabilities for unsettled asbestos-related claims are based on known claims and on our
experience during the preceding two years for claims filed, settled and dismissed, with adjustments for
events deemed unusual and unlikely to recur, and are included in retirement obligations and other
liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. A substantial majority of our asbestos-related claims are
covered by insurance or indemnities. Estimated indemnities and receivables from insurance carriers for
unsettled claims and receivables for settlements and legal fees paid by us for asbestos-related claims are
estimated using our historical experience with insurance recovery rates and estimates of future recoveries,
which include estimates of coverage and financial viability of our insurance carriers. Estimated receivables
are included in other assets, net in our consolidated balance sheets. We have claims pending against certain
insurers that, if resolved more favorably than estimated future recoveries, would result in discrete gains in
the applicable quarter. We are currently unable to estimate the impact, if any, of unasserted asbestos-
related claims, although future claims would also be subject to existing indemnities and insurance
coverage.

Warranty Accruals — Warranty obligations are based upon product failure rates, materials usage,
service delivery costs, an analysis of all identified or expected claims and an estimate of the cost to resolve
such claims. The estimates of expected claims are generally a factor of historical claims and known product
issues. Warranty obligations based on these factors are adjusted based on historical sales trends for the
preceding 24 months.
Insurance Accruals — Insurance accruals are recorded for wholly or partially self-insured risks such as
medical benefits and workers’ compensation and are based upon an analysis of our claim loss history,
insurance deductibles, policy limits and other relevant factors that are updated annually and are included
in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The estimates are based upon information
received from actuaries, insurance company adjusters, independent claims administrators or other
independent sources. Receivables from insurance carriers are estimated using our historical experience
with insurance recovery rates and estimates of future recoveries, which include estimates of coverage and
financial viability of our insurance carriers. Estimated receivables are included in accounts receivable, net
and other assets, net, as applicable, in our consolidated balance sheets.
Pension and Postretirement Obligations — Determination of pension and postretirement benefits
obligations is based on estimates made by management in consultation with independent actuaries and
investment advisors. Inherent in these valuations are assumptions including discount rates, expected rates
of return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and rates of compensation increase and other
factors all of which are reviewed annually and updated if necessary. Current market conditions, including
changes in rates of return, interest rates and medical inflation rates, are considered in selecting these
assumptions.
Actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive
loss as they arise and we amortize these costs into net pension expense over the remaining expected service
period.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation — Property, plant and equipment are stated at
historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. If asset retirement obligations exist, they are capitalized as
part of the carrying amount of the asset and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. The
useful lives of leasehold improvements are the lesser of the remaining lease term or the useful life of the
improvement. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in income from
operations for the period. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method based on the estimated
useful lives of the depreciable assets, or in the case of assets under capital leases, over the related lease
turn. Generally, the estimated useful lives of the assets are:
Buildings and improvements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

10 to 40 years
3 to 14 years
3 to 7 years
Costs related to routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Internally Developed Software — We capitalize certain costs associated with the development of
internal-use software. Generally, these costs are related to significant software development projects and
are amortized over their estimated useful life, typically three to five years, upon implementation of the
software.
Intangible Assets — Intangible assets, excluding trademarks (which are considered to have an
indefinite life), consist primarily of engineering drawings, patents, existing customer relationships,
software, distribution networks and other items that are being amortized over their estimated useful lives
generally ranging from four to 40 years. These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events and
circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

Valuation of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets — The value of
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets is tested for impairment as of December 31 each year or
whenever events or circumstances indicate such assets may be impaired. The identification of our reporting
units began at the operating segment level and considered whether components one level below the
operating segment levels should be identified as reporting units for purpose of testing goodwill for
impairment based on certain conditions. These conditions included, among other factors, (i) the extent to
which a component represents a business and (ii) the aggregation of economically similar components
within the operating segments and resulted in five reporting units. Other factors that were considered in
determining whether the aggregation of components was appropriate included the similarity of the nature
of the products and services, the nature of the production processes, the methods of distribution and the
types of industries served.
An impairment loss for goodwill is recognized if the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the
carrying value. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based on an income approach, whereby we
calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. A
discounted cash flow analysis requires us to make various judgmental assumptions about future sales,
operating margins, growth rates and discount rates, which are based on our budgets, business plans,
economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and market participants. Assumptions are also made
for varying perpetual growth rates for periods beyond the long-term business plan period.
We did not record an impairment of goodwill in 2016, 2015 or 2014; however the estimated fair value
of our Engineered Product Operations (‘‘EPO’’) and IPD reporting units reduced significantly due to
broad-based capital spending declines and heightened pricing pressure experienced in the oil and gas
markets which are anticipated to continue in the near to mid-term. The EPO reporting unit is a component
of our EPD reporting segment and is primarily focused on long lead time, custom and other highly-
engineered pumps and pump systems. As of December 31, 2016 our EPO reporting unit had approximately
$156 million of goodwill and its estimated fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 45%. In
addition, our IPD reporting unit, which is primarily focused on pre-configured industrial pumps and pump
systems had approximately $298 million of goodwill and it fair value exceeded its carrying value by
approximately 70%. Key assumptions used in determining the estimated fair value of our EPO and IPD
reporting units included the annual operating plan and forecasted operating results, successful execution of
our current realignment programs and identified strategic initiatives, a constant cost of capital, a
short-term stabilization and mid to long-term improvement of the macro-economic conditions of the oil
and gas market, and a relatively stable global gross domestic product. Although we have concluded that
there is no impairment on the goodwill associated with our EPO and IPD reporting units as of
December 31, 2016, we will continue to closely monitor their performance and related market conditions
for future indicators of potential impairment and reassess accordingly.
We also consider our market capitalization in our evaluation of the fair value of our goodwill. Our
market capitalization increased as compared with 2015 and did not indicate a potential impairment of our
goodwill as of December 31, 2016.
Impairment losses for indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized whenever the estimated fair
value is less than the carrying value. Fair values are calculated for trademarks using a ‘‘relief from royalty’’
method, which estimates the fair value of a trademark by determining the present value of estimated
royalty payments that are avoided as a result of owning the trademark. This method includes judgmental
assumptions about sales growth and discount rates that have a significant impact on the fair value and are
substantially consistent with the assumptions used to determine the fair value of our reporting units
discussed above. We did not record a material impairment of our trademarks in 2016, 2015 or 2014.
The recoverable value of other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-
lived intangible assets, is reviewed when indicators of potential impairments are present. The recoverable
value is based upon an assessment of the estimated future cash flows related to those assets, utilizing

assumptions similar to those for goodwill. Additional considerations related to our long-lived assets
include expected maintenance and improvements, changes in expected uses and ongoing operating
performance and utilization.
Deferred Loan Costs — Deferred loan costs, consisting of fees and other expenses associated with debt
financing, are amortized over the term of the associated debt using the effective interest method.
Additional amortization is recorded in periods where optional prepayments on debt are made.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments — Our financial instruments are presented at fair value in our
consolidated balance sheets, with the exception of our long-term debt. Fair value is defined as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market
prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not
available, valuation models may be applied.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based
upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Hierarchical levels,
as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) 820, ‘‘Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures,’’ are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation
of these assets and liabilities. An asset or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based
on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. Hierarchical levels are as follows:
Level I — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities at the measurement date.
Level II — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or
indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the
measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level III — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk
inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
Recurring fair value measurements are limited to investments in derivative instruments and certain
equity securities. The fair value measurements of our derivative instruments are determined using models
that maximize the use of the observable market inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and
spot prices for currencies, and are classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of
our derivative instruments are included in Note 6. The fair value measurements of our investments in
equity securities are determined using quoted market prices and are classified as Level I. The fair values of
our investments in equity securities, and changes thereto, are immaterial to our consolidated financial
position and results of operations.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities — We have a foreign currency derivatives and hedging policy
outlining the conditions under which we can enter into financial derivative transactions. We do not use
derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recognized on the
balance sheet at their fair values. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value
depends on whether the derivative is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.
Foreign Exchange Contracts — We employ a foreign currency economic hedging strategy to
mitigate certain financial risks resulting from foreign currency exchange rate movements that impact
foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, firm committed transactions and forecasted
sales and purchases. In 2013 we began to designate certain forward exchange contracts as hedging
instruments and apply hedge accounting to those instruments.

For designated forward exchange contracts, the changes in fair value are recorded in other
comprehensive loss until the underlying hedged item affects earnings, at which time the change in fair
value is recognized in sales in the consolidated statements of income. For non-designated forward
exchange contracts, the changes in the fair values are recognized immediately in other income
(expense), net in the consolidated statements of income. See Note 6 for further discussion of forward
exchange contracts.
We discontinue hedge accounting when (1) we deem the hedge to be ineffective and determine that
the designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate; (2) the derivative
matures, terminates or is sold; or (3) occurrence of the contracted or committed transaction is no longer
probable or will not occur in the originally expected period.
When hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, we carry the
derivative at its estimated fair value on the balance sheet, recognizing changes in the fair value in current
period earnings. If a cash flow hedge becomes ineffective, any deferred gains or losses remain in
accumulated other comprehensive loss until the underlying hedged item is recognized. If it becomes
probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will not occur, deferred gains or losses on the hedging
instrument are recognized in earnings immediately.
We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to
our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties under forward exchange
contracts and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. If necessary, we would adjust the values
of our derivative contracts for our or our counterparties’ credit risks.
Foreign Currency Translation — Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S.
dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, while income and expenses are translated at
average rates for each month. Translation gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive loss. Transactional currency gains and losses arising from transactions in currencies
other than our sites’ functional currencies are included in our consolidated results of operations.
Transaction and translation gains and losses arising from intercompany balances are reported as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss when the underlying transaction stems from a
long-term equity investment or from debt designated as not due in the foreseeable future. Otherwise, we
recognize transaction gains and losses arising from intercompany transactions as a component of income.
Where intercompany balances are not long-term investment related or not designated as due beyond the
foreseeable future, we may mitigate risk associated with foreign currency fluctuations by entering into
forward exchange contracts.
Stock-Based Compensation — Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant-date fair value. The
exercise price of stock option awards and the value of restricted share, restricted share unit and
performance-based unit awards (collectively referred to as ‘‘Restricted Shares’’) are set at the closing price
of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant, which is the date such grants
are authorized by our Board of Directors. Restricted share units and performance-based units refer to
restricted awards that do not have voting rights and accrue dividends, which are forfeited if vesting does
not occur.
The intrinsic value of Restricted Shares, which is typically the product of share price at the date of
grant and the number of Restricted Shares granted, is amortized on a straight-line basis to compensation
expense over the periods in which the restrictions lapse based on the expected number of shares that will
vest. The forfeiture rate is based on unvested Restricted Shares forfeited compared with original total
Restricted Shares granted over a 3-year period, excluding significant forfeiture events that are not expected
to recur.

Earnings Per Share — We use the two-class method of calculating Earnings Per Share (‘‘EPS’’), which
determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security as if all earnings
for the period had been distributed. Unvested restricted share awards that earn non-forfeitable dividend
rights qualify as participating securities and, accordingly, are included in the basic computation as such.
Our unvested restricted shares participate on an equal basis with common shares; therefore, there is no
difference in undistributed earnings allocated to each participating security. Accordingly, the presentation
below is prepared on a combined basis and is presented as earnings per common share. The following is a
reconciliation of net earnings of Flowserve Corporation and weighted average shares for calculating basic
net earnings per common share.
Earnings per weighted average common share outstanding was calculated as follows:

Research and Development Expense — Research and development costs are charged to expense when
incurred. Aggregate research and development costs included in selling, general and administrative
expenses (‘‘SG&A’’) were $42.8 million, $45.9 million and $40.9 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014,
respectively. Costs incurred for research and development primarily include salaries and benefits and
consumable supplies, as well as rent, professional fees, utilities and the depreciation of property and
equipment used in research and development activities.
Accounting Developments
Pronouncements Implemented
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12 ‘‘Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718):
Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target
Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.’’ This ASU was issued to address share-based
payment awards with a performance target affecting vesting that could be achieved after the employee’s
requisite service period. Our adoption of ASU No. 2014-12 effective January 1, 2016 did not have an
impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements — Going
Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern.’’ This ASU requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise
substantial doubt about the ability of a company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date
the financial statements are issued or within one year after the date that the financial statements are
available to be issued when applicable. Further, the ASU provides management guidance regarding its
responsibility to disclose the ability of a company to continue as a going concern in the notes to the
financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim
periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 did not have an
impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16, ‘‘Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815):
‘‘Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share
Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity.’’ This ASU was issued to clarify and reinforce the practice of evaluating
all relevant terms and features when reviewing the nature of a host contract. Our adoption of ASU
No. 2014-16 effective January 1, 2016 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and
results of operations.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, ‘‘Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual
Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of
Extraordinary Items.’’ In connection with the FASB’s efforts to simplify accounting standards, the FASB
released new guidance on simplifying Income Statement presentation by eliminating the concept of
extraordinary items from accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (‘‘U.S. GAAP’’). Our
adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 effective January 1, 2016 did not have an impact on our consolidated
financial condition and results of operations.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, ‘‘Consolidation (Topic 810) — Amendments to
the Consolidation Analysis,’’ which provides guidance on the analysis process companies must perform in
order to determine whether a legal entity should be consolidated. Our adoption of ASU No. 2015-02
effective January 1, 2016 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of
operations.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, ‘‘Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic
835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.’’ The ASU was issued in connection with the
FASB’s efforts to simplify accounting standards for the presentation of debt issuance costs. The ASU
requires companies to present debt issuance costs in the same manner that debt discounts are currently
reported, as a direct deduction from the carrying value of that debt liability. The applicability of this
requirement does not impact the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. In August
2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, ‘‘Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation
and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements-
Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC
Update).’’ In this ASU the SEC staff announced that it would ‘‘not object to an entity deferring and
presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs
ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement.’’ We adopted the provisions of ASU 2015-03 and
ASU 2015-15 as of January 1, 2016. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation. As of December 31, 2015, $10.3 million of debt issuance costs were reclassified in our
consolidated balance sheet from other assets, net to long-term debt. Our adoption of ASU No. 2015-03
and ASU No. 2015-15 effective January 1, 2016 did not have an impact on our consolidated results of
operations.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, ‘‘Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures

consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force).’’ The ASU removes the requirement to categorize all

investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient within
the fair value hierarchy. Our adoption of ASU No. 2015-07 effective January 1, 2016 did not have an
impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred
Taxes to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The ASU requires that deferred tax liabilities
and assets be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. We adopted ASU No. 2015-17 effective
January 1, 2016 and as a result, prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period presentation. As of December 31, 2015, $156.0 million of current deferred tax assets and
$11.4 million of current deferred tax liabilities were reclassified from current with an increase of
$43.1 million in noncurrent deferred tax assets and a decrease of $101.5 million in noncurrent deferred tax
liabilities on our balance sheet. Our adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 effective January 1, 2016 did not have
an impact on our consolidated results of operations.
Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606)’’ which supersedes most of the revenue recognition requirements in ‘‘Revenue Recognition (Topic
605).’’ The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue
is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects
to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Companies are permitted to adopt the new standard
using one of two transition methods. Under the full retrospective method, the requirements of the new
standard are applied to contracts for each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of
applying the standard is recognized in the earliest period presented. Under the modified retrospective
method the requirements of the new standard are applied to contracts that are open as of January 1, 2018,
the required date of adoption and the cumulative effect of applying the standard is recognized as an
adjustment to beginning retained earnings in that same year. The standard also includes significantly
expanded disclosure requirements for revenue. Since 2014, the FASB has issued several updates to Topic
606.
We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2014-09 and all related ASU’s on our consolidated
financial condition and results of operations. We plan to adopt the new revenue guidance effective
January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for transition. In 2015, we established a cross-
functional implementation team consisting of representatives from across all of our reportable segments to
begin the process of analyzing the impact of the standard on our contracts. The preliminary results of our
evaluation, which is still in process, indicate that one of the changes upon adoption may be potentially
increased ‘‘over-time’’ revenue recognition. Currently, revenue recognized under the percentage of
completion method is less than 7% of our consolidated sales. We also anticipate changes to the
consolidated balance sheet related to accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities.
Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating and designing the necessary changes to our business
processes, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. We are
continuing our evaluation to determine the impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of
operations.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, ‘‘Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the
Measurement of Inventory.’’ The ASU updates represent changes to simplify the subsequent measurement
of inventory. Previous to the issuance of this ASU, ASC 330 required that an entity measure inventory at
the lower of cost or market. The amendments of ASU 2015-11 update narrows that ‘‘market’’ requirement
to ‘‘net realizable value,’’ which is defined by the ASU as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course
of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is
effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
2016. Application of this ASU is to be made prospectively and early application is permitted as of the

beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-11 is not expected to
have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, ‘‘Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic
825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.’’ The ASU requires
entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under
the equity method at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The ASU also requires
an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair
value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected
to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The
requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for
financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet has been eliminated by this ASU.
This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-01 on our consolidated
financial condition and results of operations.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, ‘‘Leases (Topic 842)’’. The ASU requires that
organizations that lease assets recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and
obligations created by those leases. The ASU will affect the presentation of lease related expenses on the
income statement and statement of cash flows and will increase the required disclosures related to leases.
This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods
within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU
No. 2016-02 on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Although we are continuing
to evaluate, upon initial qualitative evaluation, we believe a key change upon adoption will be the balance
sheet recognition of leased assets and liabilities. Based on our qualitative evaluation to date, we believe
that any changes in income statement recognition will not be material.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, ‘‘Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic
718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.’’ The ASU affects the accounting for
employee share-based payment transactions as it relates to accounting for income taxes, accounting for
forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted.
We have evaluated the impact of ASU No. 2016-09 and believe it will not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, ‘‘Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326),
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.’’ The amendments in this ASU replace the
current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and
requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss
estimates. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-13 on our
consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, ‘‘Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):
Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments — A consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues
Task Force.’’ The update was issued with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how
certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under
Topic 230 and other topics. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU
No. 2016-15 on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, ‘‘Income Taxes (Topic 740) Intra-Entity Transfers
of Assets Other Than Inventory.’’ The ASU guidance requires the recognition of the income tax
consequences of an intercompany asset transfer, other than transfers of inventory, when the transfer

occurs. For intercompany transfers of inventory, the income tax effects will continue to be deferred until
the inventory has been sold to a third party. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU
No. 2016-16 on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, ‘‘Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held
through Related Parties That Are Under Common Control.’’ The amendments in this ASU affect the
consolidation guidance regarding how a reporting entity that is the single decision maker of variable
interest entity (‘‘VIE’’) should treat indirect interests in the entity held through related parties that are
under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of
the VIE. The ASU is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim
periods with those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-17 is not expected to have a material impact
on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, ‘‘Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):
Restricted Cash.’’ The amendments in this ASU require that a statement of cash flows explain the change
during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash
or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted
cash equivalents should be
the
beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The ASU is
effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods with those
fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 is not expected to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-19, ‘‘Technical Corrections and Improvements.’’
The ASU makes minor changes to several topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for
U.S. GAAP. The amendments of the ASU require transition guidance that are effective for annual and
interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for the
amendments that require transition guidance. All other amendments were effective immediately. We are
currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016- 19 on our consolidated financial condition and results of
operations.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, ‘‘Business Combinations (Topic 805): ‘‘Clarifying
the Definition of a Business.’’ The ASU clarifies the definition of a business and provides guidance on
evaluating as to whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or
businesses. The definition clarification as outlined in this ASU affects many areas of accounting including
acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments of the ASU are effective for annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. We are
currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2017- 01 on our consolidated financial condition and results of
operations.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, ‘‘Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350):
Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.’’ The amendments in this ASU allow companies to apply a
one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s
carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting
unit. The amendments of the ASU are effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill
impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact
of ASU No. 2017- 04 on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

2. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION
SIHI Group B.V.
Effective January 7, 2015, we acquired for inclusion in Industrial Product Division (‘‘IPD’’), 100% of
SIHI Group B.V. (‘‘SIHI’’), a global provider of engineered vacuum and fluid pumps and related services,
primarily servicing the chemical market, as well as the pharmaceutical, food & beverage and other process
industries, in a stock purchase for A286.7 million ($341.5 million based on exchange rates in effect at the
time the acquisition closed and net of cash acquired) in cash. The acquisition was funded using
approximately $110 million in available cash and approximately $255 million in initial borrowings from our
Revolving Credit Facility (as defined and discussed in Note 10), which was subsequently paid down with a
portion of the net proceeds from our March 2015 offering of the 2022 EUR Senior Notes (as defined and
discussed in Note 10). SIHI, based in The Netherlands, had operations primarily in Europe and, to a lesser
extent, the Americas and Asia.
The allocation of the purchase price is summarized below:

The excess of the acquisition date fair value of the total purchase price over the estimated fair value of

obtained from strengthening our portfolio of products and services through the addition of SIHI’s
engineered vacuum and fluid pumps, as well as the associated aftermarket services and parts. The goodwill
related to this acquisition is recorded in the IPD segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax
purposes. Subsequent to January 7, 2015, the revenues and expenses of SIHI have been included in our
consolidated statement of income.
Naval OY
Effective March 31, 2014, we sold our Flow Control Division’s (‘‘FCD’’) Naval OY (‘‘Naval’’) business
to a Finnish valve manufacturer. The sale included Naval’s manufacturing facility located in Laitila,
Finland and a service and support center located in St. Petersburg, Russia. The cash proceeds for the sale
totaled $46.8 million, net of cash divested, and resulted in a $13.4 million pre-tax gain recorded in selling,
general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of income. Net sales related to the
Naval business totaled $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2014.

In 2016 we recorded a $15.5 million charge which was primarily related to our EPD reporting segment
to write down inventory in Brazil of which approximately $5 million related to 2015. The out of period
amount is not material to the consolidated financial results or our reporting segment results in the current
or prior period.
During 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recognized expenses of $18.6 million, $24.2 million and $19.2 million,
respectively, for excess and obsolete inventory. These expenses are included in cost of sales (‘‘COS’’) in our
consolidated statements of income.
5. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
We maintain the Flowserve Corporation Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the ‘‘2010 Plan’’),
which is a shareholder-approved plan authorizing the issuance of up to 8,700,000 shares of our common
stock in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted shares, restricted share
units and performance-based units (collectively referred to as ‘‘Restricted Shares’’), stock appreciation
rights and bonus stock. Of the 8,700,000 shares of common stock authorized under the 2010 Plan,
3,240,638 were available for issuance as of December 31, 2016. The long-term incentive program was
amended to allow Restricted Shares granted after January 1, 2016 to employees who retire and have
achieved at least 55 years of age and ten years of service to continue to vest over the original vesting
period. No stock options have been granted since 2006.
Stock Options — Options granted to officers, other employees and directors allow for the purchase of
common shares at the market value of our stock on the date the options are granted. Options generally

become exercisable over a staggered period ranging from one to five years (most typically from one to
three years). At December 31, 2016, all outstanding options were fully vested. Options generally expire ten
years from the date of the grant or within a short period of time following the termination of employment
or cessation of services by an option holder. No options were granted during 2016, 2015 or 2014.
Information related to stock options issued to officers, other employees and directors under all plans is

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at December 31, 2015 and
2014 was one year and 1.8 years, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the
year ended December 31, 2016 was $2.4 million and was less than $1 million for the same period in both
2015 and 2014. No stock options vested during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
Restricted Shares — Generally, the restrictions on Restricted Shares do not expire for a minimum of
one year and a maximum of three years , and shares are subject to forfeiture during the restriction period.
Most typically, Restricted Share grants have staggered vesting periods over one to three years from grant
date. The intrinsic value of the Restricted Shares, which is typically the product of share price at the date of
grant and the number of Restricted Shares granted, is amortized on a straight-line basis to compensation
expense over the periods in which the restrictions lapse.
Unearned compensation is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of the
Restricted Shares. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, we had $15.2 million and $30.2 million, respectively,
of unearned compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Shares, which is expected to be recognized
over a weighted-average period of approximately one year. These amounts will be recognized into net
earnings in prospective periods as the awards vest. The total fair value of Restricted Shares vested during
the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $38.8 million, $41.3 million and $34.8 million,
respectively.

Unvested Restricted Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2016, includes approximately
831,000 units with performance-based vesting provisions. Performance-based units are issuable in common
stock and vest upon the achievement of pre-defined performance targets, primarily based on our average
annual return on net assets over a three-year period as compared with the same measure for a defined peer
group for the same period. Most units were granted in three annual grants since January 1, 2014 and have
a vesting percentage between 0% and 200% depending on the achievement of the specific performance
targets. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over a cliff-vesting period of 36 months based on the
fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, as adjusted for anticipated forfeitures. During
the performance period, earned and unearned compensation expense is adjusted based on changes in the
expected achievement of the performance targets. Vesting provisions range from 0 to approximately
1,593,000 shares based on performance targets. As of December 31, 2016, we estimate vesting of
approximately 601,000 shares based on expected achievement of performance targets.
6. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Our risk management and foreign currency derivatives and hedging policy specifies the conditions
under which we may enter into derivative contracts. See Note 1 for additional information on our purpose
for entering into derivatives and our overall risk management strategies. We enter into foreign exchange
forward contracts to hedge our cash flow risks associated with transactions denominated in currencies
other than the local currency of the operation engaging in the transaction. All designated foreign exchange
hedging instruments are highly effective.
In 2013 we elected to designate and apply hedge accounting to certain forward exchange contracts.
Foreign exchange contracts designated as hedging instruments had notional values of $0.6 million and
$21.0 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Foreign exchange contracts not designated as
hedging instruments had notional values of $393.2 million and $376.3 million at December 31, 2016 and
2015, respectively. At December 31, 2016, the length of foreign exchange contracts currently in place
ranged from 13 days to 23 months.
We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to
our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties under forward exchange
contracts and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses
from our counterparties.

Gains and losses recognized in our consolidated statements of income for foreign exchange contracts
are classified as other income (expense), net.
In March 2015, we designated A255.7 million of our A500.0 million 2022 EUR Senior Notes discussed
in Note 10 as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use
the Euro as their functional currency. We used the spot method to measure the effectiveness of our net
investment hedge. Under this method, for each reporting period, the change in the carrying value of the
2022 EUR Senior Notes due to remeasurement of the effective portion is reported in accumulated other
comprehensive loss on our consolidated balance sheet and the remaining change in the carrying value of
the ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements
of income. We evaluate the effectiveness of our net investment hedge on a prospective basis at the
beginning of each quarter. We did not record any ineffectiveness for the year ended December 31, 2016.
7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of our debt, excluding the Senior Notes (as described in Note 10), was estimated using
interest rates on similar debt recently issued by companies with credit metrics similar to ours and is
classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of our debt is included in Note 10
and, except for the Senior Notes, approximates fair value. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes is
based on Level I quoted market rates. The estimated fair value of our Senior Notes at December 31, 2016
was $1,327.2 million compared to the carrying value of $1,313.1 million. The carrying amounts of our other
financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and accounts payable)
approximated fair value due to their short-term nature at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

9. EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS
We occasionally enter into joint venture arrangements with local country partners as our preferred
means of entry into countries where barriers to entry may exist. Similar to our consolidated subsidiaries,
these unconsolidated joint ventures generally operate within our primary businesses of designing,
manufacturing, assembling and distributing fluid motion and control products and services. We have
agreements with certain of these joint ventures that restrict us from otherwise entering the respective
market and certain joint ventures produce and/or sell our products as part of their broader product
offering. Net earnings from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is reported in net earnings from
affiliates in our consolidated statements of income. Given the integrated role of the unconsolidated joint
ventures in our business, net earnings from affiliates is presented as a component of operating income.
As of December 31, 2016, we had investments in eight joint ventures (one located in each of Chile,
India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates and two located in China) that
were accounted for using the equity method and are immaterial for disclosure purposes.

Senior Notes
On March 17, 2015, we completed a public offering of A500.0 million of Euro senior notes in
aggregate principal amount due March 17, 2022 (‘‘2022 EUR Senior Notes’’). The 2022 EUR Senior Notes
bear an interest rate of 1.25% per year, payable each year on March 17, commencing on March 17, 2016.
The 2022 EUR Senior Notes were priced at 99.336% of par value, reflecting a discount to the aggregate
principal amount. The proceeds of the offering were A496.7 million ($526.3 million based on exchange
rates in effect at the time the offering closed). We used a portion of the proceeds of the 2022 EUR Senior
Notes to ultimately fund the acquisition of SIHI described in Note 2 and utilized the remaining portion for
other general corporate purposes.
On November 1, 2013 we completed the public offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of senior notes due November 15, 2023 (‘‘2023 Senior Notes’’). The 2023 Senior Notes bear an
interest rate of 4.00% per year, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 2023 Senior Notes
were priced at 99.532% of par value, reflecting a discount to the aggregate principal amount.
On September 11, 2012, we completed the public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of senior notes due September 15, 2022 (‘‘2022 Senior Notes’’). The 2022 Senior Notes bear an
interest rate of 3.50% per year, payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 2022 Senior
Notes were priced at 99.615% of par value, reflecting a discount to the aggregate principal amount.
We have the right to redeem the 2022 Senior Notes and 2023 Senior Notes at any time prior to
June 15, 2022 and August 15, 2023, respectively, in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price
equal to the greater of: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes being redeemed; or (2) the
sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the
Senior Notes being redeemed discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, at the applicable
Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points for the 2022 Senior Notes and plus 25 basis points for the 2023 Senior
Notes. In addition, at any time on or after June 15, 2022 for the 2022 Senior Notes and August 15, 2023 for
the 2023 Senior Notes, we may redeem the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed. In each case, we will also pay the accrued and
unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date. Similarly, we have the
right to redeem the 2022 EUR Senior Notes on or after December 17, 2021, in whole or in part, at our
option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes
being redeemed; or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal
and interest in respect of the Senior Notes being redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to, but excluding,
the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on an annual basis, at the Comparable German
Government Bond Rate plus 25 basis points.

Senior Credit Facility
Our credit agreement provides for a $400.0 million term loan (‘‘Term Loan Facility’’) and a $1.0 billion
revolving credit facility (‘‘Revolving Credit Facility’’ and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the ‘‘Senior
Credit Facility’’). On October 14, 2015 we amended our Senior Credit Facility. The amendment extended
the maturity of our Senior Credit Facility by two years to October 14, 2020, lowered the sublimits for the
issuance of letters of credit and reduced the commitment fee from 0.175% to 0.15% on the daily unused
portions of the Senior Credit Facility. The amended Senior Credit Facility also increased the maximum
permitted leverage ratio from 3.25 to 3.5 times debt to total Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the
Senior Credit Facility). Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Facility and the indentures governing
the Senior Notes, our obligations will no longer carry a conditional guarantee by certain of our 100%
owned domestic subsidiaries. Subject to certain conditions, we have the right to increase the amount of the
Term Loan Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $400.0 million.
All other existing terms under the Senior Credit Facility remained unchanged.
As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no revolving loans outstanding under the
Revolving Credit Facility. We had outstanding letters of credit of $102.6 million and $105.2 million at
December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, due to a financial
covenant in the Senior Credit Facility, the amount available for borrowings under our Revolving Credit
Facility was effectively limited to $553.5 million. The amount available for borrowings under our Revolving
Credit Facility was $894.8 million at December 31, 2015.
The Senior Credit Facility contains, among other things, covenants defining our and our subsidiaries’
ability to dispose of assets, merge, pay dividends, repurchase or redeem capital stock and indebtedness,
incur indebtedness and guarantees, create liens, enter into agreements with negative pledge clauses, make
certain investments or acquisitions, enter into transactions with affiliates or engage in any business activity
other than our existing business. Our compliance with these financial covenants under the Senior Credit
Facility is tested quarterly. We were in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2016.
Repayment of Obligations — We may prepay loans under our Senior Credit Facility in whole or in part,
without premium or penalty, at any time. A commitment fee, which is payable quarterly on the daily
unused portions of the Senior Credit Facility, was 0.15% (per annum) at December 31, 2016. We made
scheduled principal repayments under our Term Loan Facility of $60.0 million, $45.0 million and
$40.0 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We have scheduled principal repayments of
$15.0 million due in each of the next four quarters of 2017 under our Term Loan Facility.
Operating Leases
We have non-cancelable operating leases for certain offices, service and quick response centers,
certain manufacturing and operating facilities, machinery, equipment and automobiles. Rental expense
relating to operating leases was $54.7 million, $53.1 million and $56.2 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014,
respectively.

11. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
We sponsor several noncontributory defined benefit pension plans, covering substantially all U.S.
employees and certain non-U.S. employees, which provide benefits based on years of service, age, job
grade levels and type of compensation. Retirement benefits for all other covered employees are provided
through contributory pension plans, cash balance pension plans and government-sponsored retirement
programs. All funded defined benefit pension plans receive funding based on independent actuarial
valuations to provide for current service and an amount sufficient to amortize unfunded prior service over
periods not to exceed 30 years, with funding falling within the legal limits prescribed by prevailing
regulation. We also maintain unfunded defined benefit plans that, as permitted by local regulations,
receive funding only when benefits become due.
Our defined benefit plan strategy is to ensure that current and future benefit obligations are
adequately funded in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, our investing objective is to achieve the highest
level of investment performance that is compatible with our risk tolerance and prudent investment
practices. Because of the long-term nature of our defined benefit plan liabilities, our funding strategy is
based on a long-term perspective for formulating and implementing investment policies and evaluating
their investment performance.
The asset allocation of our defined benefit plans reflect our decision about the proportion of the
investment in equity and fixed income securities, and, where appropriate, the various sub-asset classes of
each. At least annually, we complete a comprehensive review of our asset allocation policy and the
underlying assumptions, which includes our long-term capital markets rate of return assumptions and our
risk tolerances relative to our defined benefit plan liabilities.
The expected rates of return on defined benefit plan assets are derived from review of the asset
allocation strategy, expected long-term performance of asset classes, risks and other factors adjusted for
our specific investment strategy. These rates are impacted by changes in general market conditions, but
because they are long-term in nature, short-term market changes do not significantly impact the rates.
Our U.S. defined benefit plan assets consist of a balanced portfolio of primarily U.S. equity and fixed
income securities. Our non-U.S. defined benefit plan assets include a significant concentration of United
Kingdom (‘‘U.K.’’) fixed income securities. We monitor investment allocations and manage plan assets to
maintain acceptable levels of risk.
For all periods presented, we used a measurement date of December 31 for each of our U.S. and
non-U.S. pension plans and postretirement medical plans.

U.S. Defined Benefit Plans
We maintain qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. The qualified plan
provides coverage for substantially all full-time U.S. employees who receive benefits, up to an earnings
threshold specified by the U.S. Department of Labor. The non-qualified plans primarily cover a small
number of employees including current and former members of senior management, providing them with
benefit levels equivalent to other participants, but that are otherwise limited by U.S. Department of Labor
rules. The U.S. plans are designed to operate as ‘‘cash balance’’ arrangements, under which the employee
has the option to take a lump sum payment at the end of their service. The total accumulated benefit
obligation is equivalent to the total projected benefit obligation (‘‘Benefit Obligation’’).
The following are assumptions related to the U.S. defined benefit pension plans:

At December 31, 2016 as compared with December 31, 2015, we decreased our discount rate from
4.75% to 4.00% based on an analysis of publicly-traded investment grade U.S. corporate bonds, which had
a lower yield due to current market conditions. In determining 2016 expense, the expected rate of return
on U.S. plan assets decreased to 6.00%, primarily based on our target allocations and expected long-term
asset returns. The long-term rate of return assumption is calculated using a quantitative approach that
utilizes unadjusted historical returns and asset allocation as inputs for the calculation. For all US plans, we
adopted the RP-2006 mortality tables and the MP-2016 improvement scale published in October 2016. We
applied the RP-2006 tables based on the constituency of our plan population for union and non-union
participants. We adjusted the improvement scale to utilize 75% of the ultimate improvement rate,
consistent with assumptions adopted by the Social Security Administration trustees, based on long-term
historical experience. Currently, we believe this approach provides the best estimate of our future
obligation. Most plan participants elect to receive plan benefits as a lump sum at the end of service, rather
than an annuity. As such, the updated mortality tables had an immaterial effect on our pension obligation.
Net pension expense for the U.S. defined benefit pension plans (including both qualified and
non-qualified plans) was:

The estimated prior service cost and the estimated net loss for the U.S. defined benefit pension plans
that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into pension expense in 2017 is
$0.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively. We amortize estimated prior service benefits and estimated net
losses over the remaining expected service period.

We contributed $22.5 million and $21.0 million to the U.S. defined benefit pension plans during 2016
and 2015, respectively. These payments exceeded the minimum funding requirements mandated by the
U.S. Department of Labor rules. Our estimated contribution in 2017 is expected to be approximately
$20 million, excluding direct benefits paid.

None of our common stock is directly held by our qualified plan. Our investment strategy is to earn a
long-term rate of return consistent with an acceptable degree of risk and minimize our cash contributions
over the life of the plan, while taking into account the liquidity needs of the plan. We preserve capital
through diversified investments in high quality securities. Our current allocation target is to invest
approximately 50% of plan assets in equity securities and 50% in fixed income securities. Within each
investment category, assets are allocated to various investment strategies. A professional money
management firm manages our assets, and we engage a consultant to assist in evaluating these activities.
We periodically review the allocation target, generally in conjunction with an asset and liability study and in
consideration of our future cash flow needs. We regularly rebalance the actual allocation to our target
investment allocation.
Plan assets are invested in commingled funds and the individual funds are actively managed with the
intent to outperform specified benchmarks. Our ‘‘Pension and Investment Committee’’ is responsible for
setting the investment strategy and the target asset allocation, as well as selecting individual funds. As the
qualified plan approached fully funded status, we implemented a Liability-Driven Investing (‘‘LDI’’)
strategy, which more closely aligns the duration of the assets with the duration of the liabilities. The LDI
strategy results in an asset portfolio that more closely matches the behavior of the liability, thereby
protecting the funded status of the plan.

At December 31, 2016 as compared with December 31, 2015, we decreased our average discount rate
for non-U.S. plans from 3.13% to 2.34% based on analysis of bonds and other publicly-traded instruments,
by country, which had lower yields due to market conditions. To determine 2016 pension expense, we
decreased our average expected rate of return on plan assets from 5.03% at December 31, 2015 to 4.68%
at December 31, 2016, primarily based on our target allocations and expected long-term asset returns. As
the expected rate of return on plan assets is long-term in nature, short-term market changes do not
significantly impact the rate.
Many of our non-U.S. defined benefit plans are unfunded, as permitted by local regulation. The
expected long-term rate of return on assets for funded plans was determined by assessing the rates of
return for each asset class and is calculated using a quantitative approach that utilizes unadjusted historical
returns and asset allocation as inputs for the calculation. We work with our actuaries to determine the
reasonableness of our long-term rate of return assumptions by looking at several factors including
historical returns, expected future returns, asset allocation, risks by asset class and other items.

In 2017, there is no significant estimated prior service cost that will be amortized from accumulated
other comprehensive loss into pension expense for the non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The
estimated net loss for the non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated
other comprehensive loss into pension expense in 2017 is $3.5 million. We amortize estimated net losses
over the remaining expected service period or over the remaining expected lifetime of inactive participants
for plans with only inactive participants.

None of our common stock is held directly by these plans. In all cases, our investment strategy for
these plans is to earn a long-term rate of return consistent with an acceptable degree of risk and minimize
our cash contributions over the life of the plan, while taking into account the liquidity needs of the plan
and the legal requirements of the particular country. We preserve capital through diversified investments
in high quality securities.
Asset allocation differs by plan based upon the plan’s Benefit Obligation to participants, as well as the
results of asset and liability studies that are conducted for each plan and in consideration of our future cash
flow needs. Professional money management firms manage plan assets and we engage consultants in the
U.K. to assist in evaluation of these activities. The assets of the U.K. plans are overseen by a group of
Trustees who review the investment strategy, asset allocation and fund selection. These assets are passively
managed as they are invested in index funds that attempt to match the performance of the specified
benchmark index.

Postretirement Medical Plans
We sponsor several defined benefit postretirement medical plans covering certain current retirees and
a limited number of future retirees in the U.S. These plans provide for medical and dental benefits and are
administered through insurance companies and health maintenance organizations. The plans include
participant contributions, deductibles, co-insurance provisions and other limitations and are integrated
with Medicare and other group plans. We fund the plans as benefits and health maintenance organization
premiums are paid, such that the plans hold no assets in any period presented. Accordingly, we have no
investment strategy or targeted allocations for plan assets. Benefits under our postretirement medical plans
are not available to new employees or most existing employees.
The following are assumptions related to postretirement benefits:

We made contributions to the postretirement medical plans to pay benefits of $4.4 million in 2016,
$5.1 million in 2015 and $3.8 million in 2014. Because the postretirement medical plans are unfunded, we
make contributions as the covered individuals’ claims are approved for payment. Accordingly,
contributions during any period are directly correlated to the benefits paid.

12. LEGAL MATTERS AND CONTINGENCIES
Asbestos-Related Claims
We are a defendant in a substantial number of lawsuits that seek to recover damages for personal
injury allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured and/or distributed by
our heritage companies in the past. While the overall number of asbestos-related claims has generally
declined in recent years, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue, or that the average cost
per claim will not further increase. Asbestos-containing materials incorporated into any such products
were encapsulated and used as internal components of process equipment, and we do not believe that any
significant emission of asbestos fibers occurred during the use of this equipment.
Our practice is to vigorously contest and resolve these claims, and we have been successful in resolving
a majority of claims with little or no payment. Historically, a high percentage of resolved claims have been
covered by applicable insurance or indemnities from other companies, and we believe that a substantial
majority of existing claims should continue to be covered by insurance or indemnities. Accordingly, we
have recorded a liability for our estimate of the most likely settlement of asserted claims and a related
receivable from insurers or other companies for our estimated recovery, to the extent we believe that the
amounts of recovery are probable and not otherwise in dispute. While unfavorable rulings, judgments or
settlement terms regarding these claims could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows, we currently believe the likelihood is remote.
Additionally, we have claims pending against certain insurers that, if resolved more favorably than
reflected in the recorded receivables, would result in discrete gains in the applicable quarter. We are
currently unable to estimate the impact, if any, of unasserted asbestos-related claims, although future
claims would also be subject to then existing indemnities and insurance coverage.
United Nations Oil-for-Food Program
In mid-2006, the French authorities began an investigation of over 170 French companies, of which
one of our French subsidiaries was included, concerning suspected inappropriate activities conducted in
connection with the United Nations Oil for Food Program. As previously disclosed, the French
investigation of our French subsidiary was formally opened in the first quarter of 2010, and our French
subsidiary filed a formal response with the French court. In July 2012, the French court ruled against our
procedural motions to challenge the constitutionality of the charges and quash the indictment. Hearings
occurred on April 1-2, 2015, and the Company presented its defense and closing arguments. On June 18,
2015, the French court issued its ruling dismissing the case against the Company and the other defendants.
However, on July 1, 2015, the French prosecutor lodged an appeal. We currently do not expect to incur
additional case resolution costs of a material amount in this matter. However, if the French authorities
ultimately take enforcement action against our French subsidiary regarding its investigation, we may be
subject to monetary and non-monetary penalties, which we currently do not believe will have a material
adverse financial impact on our company.
Other
We are currently involved as a potentially responsible party at five former public waste disposal sites in
various stages of evaluation or remediation. The projected cost of remediation at these sites, as well as our
alleged ‘‘fair share’’ allocation, will remain uncertain until all studies have been completed and the parties
have either negotiated an amicable resolution or the matter has been judicially resolved. At each site, there
are many other parties who have similarly been identified. Many of the other parties identified are
financially strong and solvent companies that appear able to pay their share of the remediation costs.
Based on our information about the waste disposal practices at these sites and the environmental
regulatory process in general, we believe that it is likely that ultimate remediation liability costs for each
site will be apportioned among all liable parties, including site owners and waste transporters, according to

the volumes and/or toxicity of the wastes shown to have been disposed of at the sites. We believe that our
financial exposure for existing disposal sites will not be materially in excess of accrued reserves.
As previously disclosed, we terminated an employee of an overseas subsidiary after uncovering actions
that violated our Code of Business Conduct and may have violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We
completed our internal investigation into the matter, self-reported the potential violation to the United
States Department of Justice (the ‘‘DOJ’’) and the SEC, and continue to cooperate with the DOJ and
SEC. We previously received a subpoena from the SEC requesting additional information and
documentation related to the matter and have completed our response to the subpoena. We currently
believe that this matter will not have a material adverse financial impact on the Company, but there can be
no assurance that the Company will not be subjected to monetary penalties and additional costs.
We are also a defendant in a number of other lawsuits, including product liability claims, that are
insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, arising in the ordinary course of business, and we are also
involved in other uninsured routine litigation incidental to our business. We currently believe none of such
litigation, either individually or in the aggregate, is material to our business, operations or overall financial
condition. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and resolutions or dispositions of claims or
lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows for the reporting period in which any such resolution or disposition occurs.
Although none of the aforementioned potential liabilities can be quantified with absolute certainty
except as otherwise indicated above, we have established reserves covering exposures relating to
contingencies, to the extent believed to be reasonably estimable and probable based on past experience
and available facts. While additional exposures beyond these reserves could exist, they currently cannot be
estimated. We will continue to evaluate and update the reserves as necessary and appropriate.

April 11, 2014. Generally, our dividend date-of-record is in the last month of the quarter, and the dividend
is paid the following month. Any subsequent dividends will be reviewed by our Board of Directors and
declared at its discretion dependent on its assessment of our financial situation and business outlook at the
applicable time.

The expected cash payments for the current income tax expense for 2016, 2015 and 2014 were reduced
by $0.2 million, $6.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively, as a result of tax deductions related to the
vesting of restricted stock and the exercise of non-qualified employee stock options. The income tax
benefit resulting from these stock-based compensation plans has increased capital in excess of par value.

The 2016 tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the net impact of
foreign operations, tax impacts from our Realignment Programs and losses in certain foreign jurisdictions
for which no tax benefit was provided. Our effective tax rate of 33.7% for the year ended December 31,
2016 decreased from 35.3% in 2015 due primarily to the tax impacts described above. The 2015 tax rate
differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax impacts of the realignment programs,

the non-deductible Venezuelan exchange rate remeasurement loss, and the establishment of a valuation
allowance against our deferred tax assets in Brazil in the amount of $12.6 million, partially offset by the net
impact of foreign operations, which included the impacts of lower foreign tax rates and changes in our
reserves established for uncertain tax positions. The 2014 tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate
of 35% primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations, which included the impacts of lower foreign
tax rates and changes in our reserves established for uncertain tax positions.
We assert permanent reinvestment on the majority of invested capital and unremitted foreign earnings
in our foreign subsidiaries. However, we do not assert permanent reinvestment on a limited number of
foreign subsidiaries where future distributions may occur. The cumulative amount of undistributed
earnings considered permanently reinvested is $1.5 billion. Should these permanently reinvested earnings
be repatriated in a future period in the form of dividends or otherwise, our provision for income taxes may
increase materially in that period. Quantification of the deferred tax liability, if any, associated with
indefinitely reinvested differences is not practicable due to the complexities with its hypothetical
calculation. During each of the three years reported in the period ended December 31, 2016, we have not
recognized any net deferred tax assets attributable to excess foreign tax credits on unremitted earnings or
foreign currency translation adjustments in our foreign subsidiaries with excess financial reporting basis.
For those subsidiaries where permanent reinvestment was not asserted, we had cash and deemed
dividend distributions that resulted in the recognition of $4.6 million, $2.4 million and $6.9 million of
income tax expense in December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As we have not recorded a benefit
for the excess foreign tax credits associated with deemed repatriation of unremitted earnings, these credits
are not available to offset the liability associated with these dividends.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. Significant components of the consolidated deferred tax assets and liabilities were:

The amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2016 was $75.1 million, which
includes $15.8 million of accrued interest and penalties. Of this amount $66.5 million, if recognized, would
favorably impact our effective tax rate. During the years ended December 31, 2016 we recognized net
interest and penalty income of $1.6 million, for the same period in 2015 we recognized no net interest and
penalty income and in 2014 we recognized $1.5 million.
With limited exception, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax audits for years through
2014, state and local income tax audits for years through 2010 or non-U.S. income tax audits for years
through 2009. We are currently under examination for various years in Austria, Canada, Germany, India,
Italy, Singapore, the U.S. and Venezuela.
It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the effective tax rate will be impacted by the
resolution of some or all of the matters audited by various taxing authorities. It is also reasonably possible
that we will have the statute of limitations close in various taxing jurisdictions within the next 12 months.
As such, we estimate we could record a reduction in our tax expense up to approximately $17 million
within the next 12 months.
16. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our business segments share a focus on industrial flow control technology and have a high number of
common customers. These segments also have complementary product offerings and technologies that are
often combined in applications that provide us a net competitive advantage. Our segments also benefit
from our global footprint and our economies of scale in reducing administrative and overhead costs to
serve customers more cost effectively.

We conduct our operations through these three business segments based on type of product and how
we manage the business:
(cid:127) EPD for long lead time, custom and other highly-engineered pumps and pump systems, mechanical
seals, auxiliary systems and replacement parts and related services;
(cid:127) IPD for engineered and pre-configured industrial pumps and pump systems and related products
and services; and
(cid:127) FCD for engineered and industrial valves, control valves, actuators and controls and related
services.
For decision-making purposes, our Chief Executive Officer (‘‘CEO’’) and other members of senior
executive management use financial information generated and reported at the reportable segment level.
Our corporate headquarters does not constitute a separate division or business segment. We evaluate
segment performance and allocate resources based on each reportable segment’s operating income.
Amounts classified as ‘‘Eliminations and All Other’’ include corporate headquarters costs and other minor
entities that do not constitute separate segments. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost plus
a profit margin, with the sales and related margin on such sales eliminated in consolidation.
During the first quarter of 2015, we made composition changes to our EPD and IPD reportable
segments to take into consideration the acquisition of SIHI that was closed on January 7, 2015. Effective
January 1, 2015, certain activities, primarily related to engineered pumps and seals, that were previously
included in the IPD business segment are now reported in the EPD business segment. These changes did
not materially impact segment results or segment assets. We did not change our business segments,
management structure, chief operating decision maker or how we evaluate segment performance and
allocate resources. Prior periods were retrospectively adjusted to conform to the new reportable segment
composition. The following is a summary of the financial information of our reportable segments as of and
for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 reconciled to the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements.

(1) Amounts in parentheses indicate decreases to income. None of the reclassification amounts have a
noncontrolling interest component.
(2) These accumulated other comprehensive loss components are included in the computation of net
periodic pension cost. See Note 11 for additional details.
At December 31, 2016, we expect to recognize losses of $0.1 million, net of deferred taxes, into
earnings in the next twelve months related to designated cash flow hedges based on their fair values at
December 31, 2016.

18. REALIGNMENT PROGRAMS
In the first quarter of 2015, we initiated a realignment program (‘‘R1 Realignment Program’’) to
reduce and optimize certain non-strategic QRCs and manufacturing facilities from the SIHI acquisition. In
the second quarter of 2015, we initiated a second realignment program (‘‘R2 Realignment Program’’) to
better align costs and improve long-term efficiency, including further manufacturing optimization through
the consolidation of facilities, a reduction in our workforce, the transfer of activities from high-cost regions
to lower-cost facilities and the divestiture of certain non-strategic assets.
The R1 Realignment Program and the R2 Realignment Program (collectively the ‘‘Realignment
Programs’’) consist of both restructuring and non-restructuring charges. Restructuring charges represent
costs associated with the relocation or reorganization of certain business activities and facility closures and
include related severance costs. Non-restructuring charges are primarily employee severance associated
with workforce reductions to reduce redundancies. Expenses are primarily reported in COS or SG&A, as
applicable, in our condensed consolidated statements of income. We anticipate a total investment in these
programs of approximately $400 million, including projects still under final evaluation. We anticipate that
the majority of any remaining charges will be incurred throughout 2017.
Generally, the aforementioned charges will be paid in cash, except for asset write-downs, which are
non-cash charges. The following is a summary of total charges, net of adjustments, related to the
Realignment Programs:

Restructuring charges represent costs associated with the relocation or reorganization of certain
business activities and facility closures and include costs related to employee severance at closed facilities,
contract termination costs, asset write-downs and other costs. Severance costs primarily include costs
associated with involuntary termination benefits. Contract termination costs include costs related to
termination of operating leases or other contract termination costs. Asset write-downs include accelerated
depreciation of fixed assets, accelerated amortization of intangible assets, divestiture of certain
non-strategic assets and inventory write-downs. Other costs generally include costs related to employee
relocation, asset relocation, vacant facility costs (i.e., taxes and insurance) and other charges.

(1) Earnings per share is computed independently for each of the quarters presented. The sum of the
quarters may not equal the total year amount due to the impact of changes in weighted average
quarterly shares outstanding.
The significant fourth quarter impact to 2016 earnings before income taxes was to record $29.8 million
in charges related to our Realignment Programs. See Note 18 for additional information on our
Realignment Programs.
The significant fourth quarter impact to 2015 earnings before income tax was to record $52.4 million
in charges related to our Realignment Programs. In addition, there was $31.5 million less broad-based
annual incentive compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared to the same period in
2014.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’)) are designed to ensure that the information, which we are required to
disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the United States (‘‘U.S.’’) Securities and Exchange
Commission’s (‘‘SEC’’) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (‘‘Annual Report’’) for the
year ended December 31, 2016, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our
Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31,
2016. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of
December 31, 2016.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer
and Principal Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control
over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (‘‘U.S. GAAP’’). Internal
control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or
disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with existing policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Financial Officer, our management conducted an assessment of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework (2013), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, our internal
control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, has been
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in
their report, which is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended
December 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
On February 14, 2017, in connection with an annual review of the compensation plans and
arrangements of the Company, the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
of the Company (the ‘‘Committee’’) approved the consolidation of the Flowserve Corporation Executive
Officer Change in Control Severance Plan, the Flowserve Corporation Officer Change in Control
Severance Plan and the Flowserve Corporation Key Management Change in Control Severance Plan
(collectively, the ‘‘Prior Change in Control Plans’’) into one plan, and approved certain updates and
amendments to such plan. In addition, the Committee approved the amendment and restatement of the
Flowserve Corporation Amended and Restated Officer Severance Plan, the Flowserve Corporation
Annual Incentive Plan and the 2007 Flowserve Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the
‘‘Amended and Restated Plans’’). The terms of the consolidation and amendment of the Prior Change in
Control Plans and each of the Amended and Restated Plans are described further below.
Flowserve Corporation Change in Control Severance Plan
The Flowserve Corporation Change in Control Severance Plan (the ‘‘Change in Control Plan’’)
amends and supersedes the Prior Change in Control Plans. Under the Change in Control Plan, the
Company’s chief executive officer, executive vice presidents, senior vice presidents, presidents of each
division of the Company and certain vice presidents (collectively, the ‘‘Participants’’) will be entitled to
payments and benefits in connection with certain terminations of employment in connection with a change
in control.
Under the Prior Change in Control Plans, certain Participants were entitled to a tax ‘‘gross-up’’ for
excise taxes payable under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in connection
with certain ‘‘change in control payments’’ made to such Participants. The Change in Control Plan replaces
all excise tax ‘‘gross-up’’ provisions with a ‘‘best-after-tax’’ cutback for all Participants.
In addition, under the Change in Control Plan, Participants are no longer entitled to accelerated
vesting of any outstanding equity or equity-based awards upon a change in control of the Company, and
will be entitled to such accelerated vesting only upon certain qualifying terminations within two years
following (or, in certain cases, within the 90-day period prior to) a change in control of the Company (a
‘‘Qualifying Termination’’).
Consistent with the Prior Change in Control Plans, the Change in Control Plan provides that, upon a
Qualifying Termination, each Participant will be entitled to severance payments consisting of the product
of a specified severance multiple and the sum of Participant’s base salary and target annual bonus. Under
the Change in Control Plan, effective as of January 1, 2019, the applicable severance multiples will be
amended so that (i) each Participant who is an executive vice president of the Company will be entitled to a
severance multiple of two and one-half, instead of three, (ii) each Participant who is a senior vice president
of the Company will be entitled to a severance multiple of two, instead of three and (iii) each Participant
who has a vice president title that is specified in an appendix to the Change in Control Plan will be entitled
to a severance multiple of one, instead of two. No change was made to the applicable severance multiples

of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Participants who are presidents of a division of the
Company.
In addition, under the Change in Control Plan, Participants will continue to be entitled to service
credit for the period equal to the product of 12 and the applicable severance multiple described above for
purposes of payments under the Company’s pension and retirement plans, but will no longer be entitled to
additional age credit for such period for purposes of calculating payments under such pension and
retirement plans.
The Change in Control Plan also clarifies certain definitions under the Plan, including the definitions
of ‘‘cause,’’ ‘‘change in control,’’ ‘‘constructive termination’’ and ‘‘separation from service’’, to maintain
consistency with market practice and the Company’s other compensation plans and arrangements.
Except for the modifications described above, the Change in Control Plan is substantially similar to
the Prior Change in Control Plans.
The foregoing description of the Change in Control Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the complete Change in Control Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.42 and
incorporated by reference herein.
Amended and Restated Plans
Each of the Flowserve Corporation Amended and Restated Officer Severance Plan (the ‘‘Severance
Plan’’) and the Flowserve Corporation Annual Incentive Plan (the ‘‘Annual Incentive Plan’’) clarifies
certain definitions under the Company’s prior Amended and Restated Officer Severance Plan (the ‘‘Prior
Severance Plan’’) and the Company’s prior Annual Incentive Plan (the ‘‘Prior Annual Incentive Plan’’),
including the definitions of ‘‘cause,’’ ‘‘separation from service’’ and ‘‘change in control,’’ as applicable, to
maintain consistency with market practice and the Company’s other compensation plans and
arrangements. In addition, the Annual Incentive Plan provides that Participants in the Change in Control
Plan will be included among all participants in the Annual Incentive Plan who are entitled to a pro-rata
payment of awards under the Annual Incentive Plan in the event of a change in control.
The 2007 Flowserve Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan (the ‘‘Long Term Incentive Plan’’)
clarifies certain terms of the prior 2007 Flowserve Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan (the ‘‘Prior Long
Term Incentive Plan’’), including with respect to the Committee’s ability to make certain adjustments to
the performance goals applicable to awards under the Long Term Incentive Plan.
Except for the modifications described above, the Amended and Restated Plans are substantially
similar to the Prior Severance Plan, Prior Annual Incentive Plan and Prior Long Term Incentive Plan.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Plans is not complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Plans, each of which is attached hereto as
Exhibits 10.43, 10.44 and 10.45 and incorporated by reference herein.
