NOTE A—BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management of The Gorman-Rupp Company (the “Company” or “Gorman-Rupp”), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, from which related information herein has been derived.

NOTE B—INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The costs for approximately 74% of inventories at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, with the remainder generally determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method applied on a consistent basis. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimate of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

The major components of inventories are as follows (net of LIFO reserves of $55.1 million and $53.2 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively):

NOTE C—PRODUCT WARRANTIES

A liability is established for estimated future warranty and service claims based on historical claims experience and specific product failures. The Company expenses warranty costs directly to cost of products sold. Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability are:

NOTE D—PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

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

Additionally, the Company sponsors defined contribution pension plans available to all domestic employees and all Canadian employees.

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

Due to continued increased lump-sum retirement payments, the Company recorded a GAAP-required $1.6 million non-cash pension settlement charge during the second quarter of 2013 relating to its defined benefit pension plan. The Company has recorded $3.0 million in non-cash pension settlement charges during the first six months of 2013. These required charges were driven by exceeding the actuarial payments threshold relating to retirees receiving lump-sum distributions during 2013.

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

NOTE E—ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Executive Overview and Outlook

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

Gorman-Rupp actively pursues growth opportunities through organic growth, international business opportunities and acquisitions. We continually invest in training for our employees, new product development and modern manufacturing equipment and technology designed to increase production efficiency and capacity and drive growth by delivering innovative solutions to our customers.

The following discussion of results of operations includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. The adjusted gross margins, operating margins and earnings per share amounts exclude non-cash pension settlement charges. Management utilizes these adjusted financial measures to assess comparative operations against those of prior periods without the distortion of this non-operating factor. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures will be useful to investors as well as to assess the continuing strength of the Company’s underlying operations.

PART I – CONTINUED

Net sales during the second quarter 2013 increased 14.9% to a new quarterly record of $106.4 million compared to $92.6 million during the same period in 2012. Domestic sales increased 28.4% or $15.4 million while international sales decreased 4.0% or $1.6 million. The increase in sales in our water end markets of $10.2 million was primarily due to increased shipments for Gulf Coast flood control projects and for the agriculture market. Increased shipments for the industrial and OEM markets of $2.9 million were major contributors to the increase in our non-water end market sales.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were a record $198.9 million compared to $195.4 million during the same period in 2012, an increase of 1.8%. The increase in water end market sales of $9.1 million was primarily due to increased shipments for Gulf Coast flood control projects and for the fire and agriculture markets. This increase was partially offset by reduced construction market demand for pumps from rental businesses as compared to the strong sales in the first six months of 2012. The decrease in non-water market sales of $5.7 million was primarily in the OEM market due to reduced shipments related to power generation equipment.

Due to continued increased lump-sum retirement payments, the Company recorded a GAAP-required $1.6 million non-cash pension settlement charge during the second quarter of 2013 relating to its defined benefit pension plan which negatively impacted margins and earnings as detailed below. The Company has recorded $3.0 million in non-cash pension settlement charges during the first six months of 2013. These required charges were driven by exceeding the actuarial payments threshold relating to retirees receiving lump-sum distributions during 2013. Therefore, it is likely that margins and earnings will continue to be negatively impacted as a result of lump-sum retirement payments during the remainder of the year, although we expect in lesser amounts. A non-cash pension settlement charge was not required to be recognized in 2012 until the fourth quarter when the actuarial payments threshold was exceeded.

Gross profit was $26.5 million for the second quarter 2013 resulting in gross margin of 24.9% compared to 24.6% in the same period last year. The increase in gross margin was principally due to leverage from the record sales during the quarter, but was reduced by 100 basis points as a result of the non-cash pension settlement charge described above. Additionally, healthcare costs and depreciation expense increased $474,000. Operating income was $13.5 million resulting in operating margin of 12.7% compared to 12.4% in the second quarter 2012. Excluding the pension settlement charge, gross margin was 25.9% and 24.6% and operating margin was 14.2% and 12.4% for the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Net income increased 21.1% during the quarter to $9.2 million compared to $7.6 million in the second quarter 2012 and earnings per share were $0.43 and $0.36 for the respective periods. Excluding the non-cash pension settlement charge of $0.05 per share, earnings were $0.48 and $0.36 per share for the respective periods.

Gross profit was $47.7 million for the first six months of 2013 resulting in gross margin of 24.0% compared to 25.3% in the same period last year. The decline in gross margin was principally due to a more favorable product mix in the first quarter of 2012 combined with the non-cash pension settlement charges described above. Additionally, healthcare costs and depreciation expense increased $934,000. Operating income was $21.8 million resulting in operating margin of 10.9% compared to 13.7% in the first six months of 2012. Excluding the pension settlement charge, gross margin was 25.0% and 25.3% and operating margin was 12.5% and 13.7% for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The current operating margin was also reduced due to SG&A expenses incurred in the first six months of 2013 from the two acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Net income was $15.0 million during the first six months of 2013 compared to a record $17.8 million in the same period last year and earnings per share were $0.71 and $0.85 for the respective periods. Excluding the non-cash pension settlement charge of $0.09 per share, earnings were $0.80 and $0.85 per share for the respective periods.

The Company’s backlog of orders was $195.4 million at June 30, 2013 compared to $133.7 million a year ago and $143.4 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in backlog reflects the award of the Permanent Canal Closure Project (PCCP) contract of approximately $60.0 million to supply major flood control pumps to a member of a joint venture construction group for a significant New Orleans flood control project. The pumps are expected to be shipped beginning in late 2013 through 2016, with the majority of the shipments occurring in 2014 and 2015.

The Company’s balance sheet continues to remain strong and flexible as cash and short-term investments totaled $27.1 million and short-term bank debt was reduced to $15.0 million at June 30, 2013. Working capital increased 11.1% from December 31, 2012 to $123.1 million at June 30, 2013 largely due to record sales during the second quarter of 2013.

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

Second Quarter 2013 Compared to Second Quarter 2012

Net Sales

Sales increased $10.2 million in our water end markets primarily due to increased shipments for domestic flood control projects of $5.4 million and for the agriculture market of $3.5 million.

Sales increased $3.6 million in the non-water markets primarily due to increases in the OEM market of $1.7 million and in the industrial market of $1.2 million.

Cost of Products Sold and Gross Profit

The increase in the gross profit percentage was principally due to leverage from the record sales during the quarter, but was reduced by $1.1 million or 100 basis points as a result of the non-cash pension settlement charge described above. Additionally, healthcare costs and depreciation expense increased $474,000.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

The increase in SG&A expenses is principally due to the expenses incurred in the first three months of 2013 from the two acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the non-cash pension settlement charge described above of $543,000 or 50 basis points.

Net Income

Table of Contents

PART I – CONTINUED

The increase in net income was primarily due to the factors described above, including record sales during the current quarter of $106.4 million partially offset by the $1.1 million non-cash pension settlement charge, net of income taxes. The difference in the effective tax rate between the two periods is primarily due to the federal research and development tax credit which was reinstated and extended in January 2013 from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013, and was not permitted to be recorded in 2012 under current accounting rules based on the date of enactment.

Six Months 2013 Compared to Six Months 2012

Net Sales

Sales increased $9.1 million in our water end markets primarily due to increased shipments for flood control projects of $6.4 million and for the fire and agriculture markets of $5.3 million each. This increase was partially offset by reduced construction market demand for pumps from rental businesses of $7.2 million as compared to the strong sales in the first six months of 2012.

Sales decreased $5.7 million in the non-water markets primarily due to decreased shipments in the OEM market in as a result of reduced shipments related to power generation equipment.

Cost of Products Sold and Gross Profit

The decrease in the gross profit percentage was principally due to a more favorable product mix in the first six months of 2012 combined with the non-cash pension settlement charge described above of $2.0 million or 100 basis points.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

The increase in SG&A expenses is principally due to the expenses incurred in the first six months of 2013 from the two acquisitions made in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the non-cash pension settlement charge described above of $1.0 million or 50 basis points.

Net Income

The decrease in net income was primarily due to the factors explained above, including the $2.0 million non-cash pension settlement charge described above, net of income taxes. The difference in the effective tax rate between the two periods is primarily due to the federal research and development tax credit which was reinstated and extended in January 2013 from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013, and was not permitted to be recorded in 2012 under current accounting rules based on the date of enactment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Table of Contents

PART I – CONTINUED

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $27.1 million, and there was $15.0 million in outstanding bank debt at June 30, 2013. In addition, the Company had $24.5 million available in bank lines of credit after deducting $5.5 million in outstanding letters of credit primarily related to customer orders. The Company was in compliance with its nominal restrictive covenants, including limits on additional borrowings and maintenance of certain operating and financial ratios, at June 30, 2013.

Working capital increased 11.1% from December 31, 2012 to $123.1 million at June 30, 2013 primarily due to increased current accounts receivable from record sales.

The primary driver of operating cash flows during the first six months of 2013 was net earnings after removing the impact of the non-cash pension settlement charges and reduced inventory levels, partially offset by increased accounts receivable due to record sales during the first six months of 2013. During this same period in 2012 operating cash flows were primarily driven by growth in sales and related improved operating results compared to the first six months of 2011.

During the first six months of 2013, investing activities of $3.4 million primarily consisted of capital expenditures for machinery and equipment. Capital expenditures for 2013, consisting principally of machinery and equipment, are estimated to be in the range of $17 to $19 million and are expected to be financed through internally generated funds and existing lines of credit. During the first six months of 2012, investing activities of $10.8 million consisted primarily of capital expenditures for an expansion of the National Pump facilities of $2.4 million and machinery and equipment of $8.6 million.

Net cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of dividend payments of $4.2 million and re-payment of $7.0 million in short-term debt. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.9 to 1 at June 30, 2013 and 2.7 to 1 at December 31, 2012.

On July 25, 2013 the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.105 per share on the common stock of the Company, payable September 10, 2013, to shareholders of record on August 15, 2013. This marks the 254th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by The Gorman-Rupp Company and represents a 5.0% increase over the $0.10 dividend paid during the previous quarter.

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