PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The Gorman-Rupp Company (“Registrant”, “Gorman-Rupp” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Ohio in 1934. The Company designs, manufactures and globally sells pumps and pump systems for use in water, wastewater, construction, dewatering, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire protection, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (“HVAC”), military and other liquid-handling applications.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company acquired South Africa-based Pumptron (Proprietary) Limited (“Pumptron”) and Texas-based American Turbine Pump companies (“American Turbine”) which complement and broaden our existing pump portfolio and provide additional opportunities for global expansion of our major water markets and certain non-water markets.

PRODUCTS

The Company operates in one business segment, the manufacture and international sale of pumps and pump systems. The following table sets forth, for the years 2010 through 2012, the total net sales, income before income taxes and year-end total assets (in thousands) of the Company.

 

     2012      2011      2010  

Net Sales

   $ 375,691       $ 359,490       $ 296,808   

Income Before Income Taxes

     42,447         42,685         38,333   

Assets

     335,183         298,700         286,707   

The Company’s product line consists of pump models ranging in size from  1/4“ to 144” and ranging in rated capacity from less than one gallon per minute to in excess of 700,000 gallons per minute. The types of pumps which the Company produces include self priming centrifugal, standard centrifugal, magnetic drive centrifugal, axial and mixed flow, vertical turbine line shaft, submersible, high pressure booster, rotary gear, diaphragm, bellows and oscillating.

The pumps have drives that range from 1/35 horsepower electric motors up to much larger electric motors or internal combustion engines. Many of the larger units comprise encased, fully integrated water and wastewater pumping stations. In certain cases, units are designed for the inclusion of customer-supplied drives.

The Company’s larger pumps are sold principally for use in the construction, industrial, water and wastewater handling fields; for flood control; for boosting low residential water pressure; for pumping refined petroleum products, including the ground refueling of aircraft; for fluid control in HVAC applications; and for various agricultural purposes.

The Company’s pumps are also utilized for dewatering purposes. Additionally, pumps manufactured for fire protection are used for sprinkler systems, fire hydrants, stand pipes, fog systems and deluge systems at hotels, banks, factories, airports, schools, public buildings and hundreds of other facilities throughout the world.

PART I – CONTINUED

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS – CONTINUED

 

Many of the Company’s smallest pumps are sold to customers for incorporation into such products as food processing, chemical, photo processing, medical and other waste treatment, HVAC equipment, appliances and solar heating.

MARKETING

The Company’s pumps are marketed in the United States and worldwide through a network of more than 1,000 distributors, through manufacturers’ representatives (for sales to many original equipment manufacturers), through third-party distributor catalogs, and by direct sales. The Company is continuously seeking alliances to further enhance marketing opportunities. Government sales are handled directly by the Company and export sales are made primarily through foreign distributors and representatives.

During 2012, 2011 and 2010, there were no shipments to any single customer that exceeded 10% of total net sales.

Gorman-Rupp continues to actively pursue international business opportunities and, in 2012, shipped its pumps to more than 120 countries. However, the Company’s foreign operations do not involve material financial or other risks due to their relatively small size, both individually and collectively. No sales made to customers in any one foreign country amounted to more than 5% of total net sales during 2012, 2011 or 2010.

As a result of this active pursuit of international business, approximately $136.5 million of 2012 sales were shipped outside the United States, as compared to $118.1 million in 2011 and $116.1 million in 2010. International sales represented 36%, 33% and 39% of total sales in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company continues its efforts to penetrate international markets principally by its increased global investments and its sales responses to worldwide pumping needs.

COMPETITION

Since the late 1990’s, a number of consolidations have occurred within the highly competitive pump industry. As a consequence, numerous pump competitors now exist as subsidiaries, divisions or departments within significantly larger corporations. Foreign-sourced pumps have also increasingly penetrated into the Company’s domestic markets.

Gorman-Rupp estimates that 80 other domestic and global companies selling pumps and pump units compete in one or more of the lines of business and applications in which comparable products of the Company are utilized. International competitors are based mostly in Europe and Asia.

Most commercial and industrial pumps are specifically designed and engineered for a particular customer’s application. The Company believes that proper application, product performance, and quality of delivery and service are its principal methods of competition, and attributes its success to its continued emphasis in these areas.

PURCHASING AND PRODUCTION

Virtually all materials, supplies, components and accessories used by the Company in the fabrication of its products, including all castings (for which most patterns are made and owned by the Company), structural steel, bar stock, motors, solenoids, engines, seals, and plastic and elastomeric components are purchased by the Company from other suppliers and manufacturers. No purchases are made under long-term contracts and the Company is not dependent upon a single source for any materials, supplies, components or accessories which are of material importance to its business.

The Company purchases motors for its polypropylene bellows pumps and magnetic drive pumps from several alternative vendors; and motor components for its large submersible pumps, and motors and engines for its pump systems, from a limited number of suppliers. Small motor requirements are also currently sourced from alternative suppliers.

The other production operations of the Company consist of the machining of castings, the cutting, shaping and welding of bar stock and structural members, the design and assembly of electrical control panels, the manufacture of a few minor components, and the assembling, painting and testing of its products. Virtually all of the Company’s products are tested prior to shipment.

OTHER ASPECTS

As of December 31, 2012, the Company employed approximately 1,247 persons, of whom approximately 744 were hourly employees. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements, has never experienced a strike and considers its labor relations to be satisfactory.

Although the Company owns a number of patents, and several of them are important to its business, Gorman-Rupp believes that the business of the Company is not materially dependent upon any one or more patents. The Company’s patents, trademarks and other intellectual property are adequate for its business purposes.

The backlog of orders at December 31, 2012 was valued at $143.4 million compared to $155.5 million at December 31, 2011. Approximately 92% of the Company’s backlog of unfilled orders is scheduled to be shipped during 2013, with the remainder during early 2014.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

The Company maintains a website accessible through its internet address of www.gormanrupp.com. Gorman-Rupp makes available free of charge on or through www.gormanrupp.com its Annual Report to Shareholders, its annual reports on Form 10-K, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and its current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after those reports (and any amendments) are electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”). However, the information contained on the Company’s website is not a part of this Form 10-K or any other report filed with or furnished to the Commission.

As noted in Gorman-Rupp’s Annual Report to Shareholders, a paper copy of the Company’s Form 10-K is also available free of charge upon written request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Market influences and cost pressures

The overall pump industry is cyclical in nature, and some of its business activity is generally related to business conditions in the durable goods and capital equipment markets. The Company cannot predict the timing or extent of future economic or market swings. Additionally, raw material and energy purchases are major drivers of costs in the manufacture of pumps, and these costs are usually highly unpredictable. While efforts are made to recoup higher production costs through increased prices, the future acceptability of such price increases by customers is not guaranteed due to the highly competitive market place.

Compliance with a variety of import and export laws and regulations, and the cost of compliance as well as the consequences of failure to properly comply with such laws

The Company is subject to a variety of laws regarding international operations, including regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security and various foreign governmental agencies. The Company cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international operations and trading practices might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted. Future regulations could limit the countries in which certain of our products may be manufactured or sold or could restrict our access to, and increase the cost of obtaining, products from foreign sources. In addition, actual or alleged violations of import-export laws could result in enforcement actions and substantial financial penalties.

Family ownership of common equity

A substantial percentage of the Company’s Common Shares is held by various members of the Gorman and Rupp families and their affiliates. These family holdings do not typically trade; therefore, the Common Shares, in part because of these circumstances, generally have a history of relatively thin trading experiences on the NYSE MKT Exchange.

 

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company’s corporate headquarters is located in Mansfield, Ohio. The production operations of the Company are conducted at several locations throughout the United States and other countries as set forth below. The Company is a lessee under a number of operating leases for certain real properties, none of which is material to its operations.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES—CONTINUED

 

The Company owns facilities in Sparks, Nevada and Dallas, Texas comprising training centers and warehouses, and leases a warehouse and training facility in Bangkok, Thailand. In addition, the Company leases warehouse facilities in Jebal Ali, Dubai and Culemborg, The Netherlands.

The Company’s principal production operations are:

 

United States      
Mansfield (two) and Bellville, Ohio    Glendale, Arizona    Houston, Texas*
Toccoa, Georgia    Olive Branch, Mississippi    Lubbock, Texas (two)
Royersford, Pennsylvania      
Other Countries      
St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada    County Westmeath, Ireland*    Leeuwarden, The Netherlands*
Culemborg, The Netherlands*    Johannesburg, South Africa*   

 

* Leased properties

Gorman-Rupp considers its plants, machinery and equipment to be well maintained, in good operating condition and adequate for the present uses and business requirements of the Company.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For more than ten years, numerous business entities in the pump and fluid-handling industries, as well as a multitude of companies in many other industries, have been targeted in a series of lawsuits in several jurisdictions by various individuals seeking redress to claimed injury as a result of the entities’ alleged use of asbestos in their products. The Company and two of its subsidiaries remain drawn into this mass-scaled litigation, typically as one of many co-defendants in a particular proceeding; the vast majority of these cases were against Patterson Pump Company. The allegations in the lawsuits involving the Company and/or its subsidiaries are vague, general and speculative, and most cases have not advanced beyond the early stage of discovery. Insurers of the Company have engaged legal counsel to represent the Company and its subsidiaries and to protect their interests. In certain situations, the plaintiffs have voluntarily dismissed the Company and/or its subsidiaries from some of the lawsuits after the plaintiffs have acknowledged that there is no basis for their claims. In other situations, the Company and/or its subsidiaries have been dismissed from some of the lawsuits as a result of court rulings in favor of motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment. In sixty-five cases, the Company and/or its subsidiaries have entered into nominal economic settlements recommended and paid for by insurers, coupled with dismissal of the lawsuits. During the fourth quarter 2011, Patterson Pump Company entered into an agreement with plaintiffs’ counsel for the voluntary dismissal of more than 95% of the cases against it at no cost to Patterson Pump Company or its insurer.

In addition, the Company and/or its subsidiaries are parties in a small number of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not currently believe that these proceedings, or the industry-wide asbestos litigation, will materially impact the Company’s consolidated results of operations, liquidity or financial condition.

On May 22, 1997, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Non-Employee Directors’ Compensation Plan. This Plan became effective without shareholder approval and constitutes the Company’s only equity compensation plan. The Plan provides (originally through 2006) for share compensation for regular services performed by each of the Company’s non-employee Directors. In addition to cash compensation, non-employee Directors historically received an automatic award of 500 Common Shares (from the Company’s treasury) on each July 1. On July 27, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution extending the Non-Employee Directors’ Compensation plan for an additional term until the earlier of (i) May 21, 2017, (ii) at such time as all of the Company’s Common Shares authorized for award under the Plan and registered under Form S-8 Registration Statement No. 333-30159 shall have been awarded and issued, (iii) at such time as the Company deregisters any Common Shares not issued under the foregoing Registration Statement, or (iv) at such time as the Plan is terminated by action of the Board of Directors. On July 28, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted an amendment effective August 1, 2011 to provide for the aggregate award of 1,000 Common Shares to each Non-Employee Director during 2011 and 1,000 Common Shares each July 1 thereafter. The number of Common Shares which may be awarded under the Plan cannot exceed 50,000, subject to certain conditions (e.g., stock splits, stock dividends).
