NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts and amounts described in millions)

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gardner Denver, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “Gardner Denver” or the “Company”). Certain prior year balance sheet items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In consolidation, all significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31, 2010 has been prepared from the books and records of the Company without audit. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the complete consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Gardner Denver’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Other than as specifically indicated in these “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has not materially changed its significant accounting policies from those disclosed in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)—Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 updates the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance currently included under FASB Accounting Standards

Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, Revenue Recognition, Multiple-Element Arrangements. The revised guidance primarily provides two significant changes: (i) eliminates the need for objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the undelivered element in order for a delivered item to be treated as a separate unit of accounting, and (ii) eliminates the residual method to allocate the arrangement consideration. In addition, the guidance expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. ASU 2009-13 was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Adoption of this guidance in the first quarter of 2011 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). This update requires the following new disclosures: (i) the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and a description of the reasons for the transfers; and (ii) a reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), including separate information about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements. The update also clarifies existing requirements about fair value measurement disclosures and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the reconciliation of Level 3 activity, which was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2011. See Note 11 “Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements” for the disclosures required by ASU 2010-06. Adoption of this guidance had no effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). This update requires that the components of net income, the components of other comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income be presented as a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. The option of presenting other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity is eliminated. This update also requires the presentation on the face of the financial statements of reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. ASU 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Testing for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 amends existing guidance by giving an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the performance of the two-step goodwill impairment test, as currently prescribed by ASC Topic 350, is required. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted.

Note 2. Restructuring

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the Company announced restructuring plans designed to address (i) rationalization of the Company’s manufacturing footprint, (ii) slowing global economic growth and the resulting deterioration in the Company’s end markets, (iii) integration of CompAir Holdings Limited (“CompAir”) into its existing operations and (iv) additional cost reductions and margin improvement initiatives. These plans included the closure and consolidation of manufacturing facilities in Europe and the U.S., and various voluntary and involuntary employee termination and relocation programs. Execution of these plans was substantively completed during 2010. The Company recorded additional charges during the nine-month period of 2011 in connection with the continued rationalization of facilities and other cost reduction initiatives. Charges recorded in connection with these plans, in accordance with FASB ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations and FASB ASC 712, Compensation-Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, are included in “Other operating expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and are summarized for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 by reportable segment as follows:

Note 4. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each business segment for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, and the year ended December 31, 2010, and cumulative impairment charges are presented in the table below:


	Industrial Products Group			Engineered Products Group			Total

Balance as of September 30, 2011	$	248,930		$	321,074		$	570,004

Cumulative goodwill impairment charges ⁽¹⁾	$	252,533		$	—		$	252,533

(1)	Based on exchange rates at the date of the charge.

The $5.2 million increase in goodwill related to acquisitions in 2010 was associated with the valuation of ILMVAC GmbH (“ILMVAC”).

The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of identifiable intangible assets, other than goodwill, at the dates presented:


	September 30, 2011					December 31, 2010
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Amortized intangible assets:
Customer lists and relationships	$	117,868	$	(35,000	)	$	118,844	$	(29,973	)
Acquired technology		97,698		(57,730	)		94,689		(53,224	)
Trade names		54,292		(10,068	)		55,320		(8,621	)
Other		6,796		(3,943	)		7,344		(3,424	)

Total other intangible assets	$	385,124	$	(106,741	)	$	384,830	$	(95,242	)

Amortization of intangible assets for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

		0000000000		0000000000		0000000000		0000000000
	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Intangible asset amortization expense	$	3,869	$	4,007	$	12,720	$	12,795

Amortization of intangible assets held as of September 30, 2011 is anticipated to be approximately $16.5 million annually in 2012 through 2015 based upon exchange rates as of September 30, 2011. The increase in the gross carrying amount of identifiable assets other than goodwill between December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011 was due primarily to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the acquisition of certain technology during the second quarter of 2011.

On April 20, 2011, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement with the minority shareholders of its two joint ventures in China, Shanghai CompAir Compressor Co. Ltd. and Shanghai CompAir-Dalong High Pressure Equipment Co. Ltd., to acquire all of their equity interests in these entities, representing 49 percent and 40 percent of the two entities, respectively. The purchase price of RMB 122.0 million ($18.8 million based on exchange rates at the date of payment) was placed by the Company into escrow with the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange during the second quarter of 2011 pending finalization of certain Chinese governmental

approvals. Requisite governmental approvals were received and transfer of the equity interests to the Company was completed during the third quarter of 2011. The share purchase was accounted for by the Company as an equity transaction. The cash payment was classified as a cash flow from financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The excess of the cash exchanged for the shares and the carrying value of the non-controlling interests was recorded as a charge to capital in excess of par value on the consolidated balance sheet and resulted in an $8.8 million reduction in stockholders’ equity attributable to Gardner Denver. The non-controlling interests associated with these two joint ventures were eliminated from the consolidated statements of operations and balance sheet as of the closing date.

Note 11. Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements

Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of its business arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of operating and financing activities. The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”), including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, to manage the risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, respectively. The Company does not purchase or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and foreign currency exchange rates can be volatile, and the Company’s risk management activities do not totally eliminate these risks. Consequently, these fluctuations could have a significant effect on the Company’s financial results.

A substantial portion of the Company’s operations is conducted by its subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the USD. Almost all of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. The USD, EUR, British pound sterling (“GBP”), and Chinese yuan (“CNY”) are the principal currencies in which the Company and its subsidiaries enter into transactions. The Company is exposed to the impacts of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, and earnings into USD. The Company partially offsets these exposures by having certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries act as the obligor on a portion of its borrowings and by denominating such borrowings, as well as a portion of the borrowings for which the Company is the obligor, in currencies other than the USD.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the risk that arises when they, from time to time, enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To mitigate this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries typically settle intercompany trading balances monthly. The Company also selectively uses forward currency contracts to manage this risk. These contracts for the sale or purchase of European and other currencies generally mature within one year.

In accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“FASB ASC 815”), the Company records its derivatives as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized either in net income or in other comprehensive income, depending on the designated purpose of the derivative. All cash flows associated with derivatives are classified as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. It is the Company’s policy not to speculate in derivative instruments.

Fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the value of non-USD borrowings that have been designated as hedges of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income.

The following tables summarize the notional amounts, fair values and classification of the Company’s outstanding derivatives by risk category and instrument type within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


	September 30, 2011
	Balance Sheet Location	Notional Amount ⁽¹⁾		Asset Derivatives Fair Value ⁽¹⁾		Liability Derivatives Fair Value ⁽¹⁾
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments under FASB ASC 815

Interest rate swap contracts	Other liabilities	$	76,774	$	—	$	1,087

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under FASB ASC 815

Foreign currency forwards	Current assets	$	75,320	$	2,444	$	386

Foreign currency forwards	Current liabilities	$	10,693	$	—	$	339


	December 31, 2010
	Balance Sheet Location	Notional Amount ⁽¹⁾		Asset Derivatives Fair Value ⁽¹⁾		Liability Derivatives Fair Value ⁽¹⁾
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments under FASB ASC 815

Interest rate swap contracts	Other liabilities	$	76,742	$	—	$	1,560

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under FASB ASC 815

Foreign currency forwards	Accrued liabilities	$	113,871	$	709	$	1,884

(1)

Notional amounts represent the gross contract amounts of the outstanding derivatives excluding the total notional amount of positions that have been effectively closed through offsetting positions. The net gains and net losses associated with positions that have been effectively closed through offsetting positions but not yet settled are included in the asset and liability derivatives fair value columns, respectively.

Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with FASB ASC 815 included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are as presented in the table below:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Interest rate swap contracts ⁽¹⁾
Amount of gain or (loss) recognized in AOCI on derivatives (effective portion)	$	(174	)	$	(543	)	$	(344	)	$	(2,455	)
Amount of gain or (loss) reclassified from AOCI into income (effective portion)		(257	)		(295	)		(808	)		(1,006	)
Amount of gain or (loss) recognized in income on derivatives (ineffective portion and amount excluded from effectiveness testing)		(2	)		—			(3	)		(5	)

(1)	Losses on derivatives reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) into income (effective portion) were included in the interest expense line on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

At September 30, 2011, the Company is the fixed rate payor on three interest rate swap contracts that effectively fix the LIBOR-based index used to determine the interest rates charged on a total of $50.0 million and €20.0 million of the Company’s LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings. These contracts carry fixed rates ranging from 1.8% to 2.2% and have expiration dates ranging from 2012 to 2013. These swap agreements qualify as hedging instruments and have been designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted LIBOR-based interest payments. Based on LIBOR-based swap yield curves as of September 30, 2011, the Company expects to reclassify losses of $0.8 million out of AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months. The Company’s LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2011 were $183.6 million and €42.0 million.

There were 50 foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2011 with notional amounts ranging from $0.1 million to $10.9 million. The Company has not designated any forward contracts as hedging instruments. The majority of these contracts are used to hedge the change in fair value of recognized foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities caused by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in the fair value of these contracts generally offset the changes in the fair value of a corresponding amount of the hedged items, both of which are included in the other operating expense, net, line on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s gains and (losses) on forward currency contracts outstanding and total net foreign currency gains and (losses) for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	2,747		$	(6,150	)	$	742		$	(790	)
Total net foreign currency (losses) and gains ⁽¹⁾		(25	)		(1,760	)		(2,614	)		(1,132	)

(1)	See Note 13 “Supplemental Information”

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had designated approximately €29.7 million of its term loan denominated in EUR as a hedge of its net investment in subsidiaries with EUR functional currencies. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of this debt due to changes in the USD to EUR exchange rate have been recorded through other comprehensive income. The Company’s gains and (losses), net of income tax, associated with changes in the fair value of this debt for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the net balance of such gains and losses at September 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010			2011			2010
Gain (loss), net of income tax, recorded through other comprehensive income	$	1,955	$	(974	)	$	1,638		$	1,663
Balance included in accumulated other comprehensive income at September 30							(3,495	)		(3,795	)

Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, deferred compensation assets and obligations, derivatives and debt instruments. The book values of these instruments are a reasonable estimate of their respective fair values.

The following table summarizes the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2011:


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Note 12. Income Taxes

As of September 30, 2011, the total balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $4.1 million compared with $4.5 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in unrecognized tax benefits was primarily due to expiring statutes of limitations in Germany and other jurisdictions, and the settlement of the 2003 and 2004 tax audits in Germany and certain items related to the 2005 audit. The unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2011 include $4.1 million of uncertain tax positions that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized, of which $2.0 million would be offset by a reduction of a corresponding deferred tax asset. The Company does not expect any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

The Company’s accounting policy with respect to interest expense on underpayments of income tax and related penalties is to recognize such interest expense and penalties as part of the provision for income taxes. The Company’s income tax liabilities at September 30, 2011 include approximately $0.8 million of accrued interest and $0.3 million of penalties.

The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the tax years 2008 and 2009 are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service and this audit is expected to be finalized during the fourth quarter of 2011. The examination was initiated during the quarter ended September 30, 2010. As of the date of this report, the examination is in its final stages and has not identified any material changes. The statutes of limitations for the U.S. state tax returns are open beginning with the 2006 tax year, except for three states for which the statutes have been extended, beginning with the 2003 tax year for one state and the 2006 tax year for the other two states.

The Company is subject to income tax in approximately 30 jurisdictions outside the U.S. The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction. The Company’s significant operations outside the U.S. are located in China, the United Kingdom and Germany. In Germany, the Company has finalized the tax audits for the 2003 to 2007 tax years. Tax years 2008 and beyond remain subject to potential examination. These examinations have not identified any material changes. In China and the United Kingdom, tax years prior to 2006 are closed. In addition, audits are being conducted in certain other countries. To date, no material adjustments have been proposed as a result of these audits.

The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax provision and effective income tax rate:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011			2010			2011			2010
Income before income taxes	$	103,820		$	63,458		$	281,217		$	155,968
Provision for income taxes	$	29,543		$	16,610		$	79,345		$	38,943
Effective income tax rate		28.5	%		26.2	%		28.2	%		25.0	%

The year over year increase in the effective tax rate primarily reflects a higher proportion of taxable income in the U.S. in 2011 compared to 2010.

Note 14. Contingencies

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings, lawsuits and administrative actions, which are of an ordinary or routine nature for a company of its size and sector. In addition, due to the bankruptcies of several asbestos manufacturers and other primary defendants, among other things, the Company has been named as a defendant in a number of asbestos personal injury lawsuits. The Company has also been named as a defendant in a number of silica personal injury lawsuits. The plaintiffs in these suits allege exposure to asbestos or silica from multiple sources and typically the Company is one of approximately 25 or more named defendants. In the Company’s experience to date, the substantial majority of the plaintiffs have not suffered an injury for which the Company bears responsibility.

Predecessors to the Company sometimes manufactured, distributed and/or sold products allegedly at issue in the pending asbestos and silica litigation lawsuits (the “Products”). However, neither the Company nor its predecessors ever mined, manufactured, mixed, produced or distributed asbestos fiber or silica sand, the materials that allegedly caused the injury underlying the lawsuits. Moreover, the asbestos-containing components of the Products, if any, were enclosed within the subject Products.

The Company has entered into a series of agreements with certain of its or its predecessors’ legacy insurers and certain potential indemnitors to secure insurance coverage and/or reimbursement for the costs associated with the asbestos and silica lawsuits filed against the Company. The Company has also pursued litigation against certain insurers or indemnitors where necessary. The latest of these actions, Gardner Denver, Inc. v. Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s, London, et al., was filed on July 9, 2010, in the Eighth Judicial District, Adams County, Illinois, as case number 10-L-48 (the “Adams County Case”). In the lawsuit, the Company seeks, among other things, to require certain excess insurer defendants to honor their insurance policy obligations to the Company, including payment in whole or in part of the costs associated with the asbestos lawsuits filed against the Company.

The Company believes that the pending and future asbestos and silica lawsuits are not likely to, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, based on: the Company’s anticipated insurance and indemnification rights to address the risks of such matters; the limited potential asbestos exposure from the Products described above; the Company’s experience that the vast majority of plaintiffs are not impaired with a disease attributable to alleged exposure to asbestos or silica from or relating to the Products or for which the Company otherwise bears responsibility; various potential defenses available to the Company with respect to such matters; and the Company’s prior disposition of comparable matters. However, due to inherent uncertainties of litigation and because future developments, including, without limitation, potential insolvencies of insurance companies or other defendants, an adverse determination in the Adams County Case, or other inability to collect from the Company’s historical insurers or indemnitors could cause a different outcome. While the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, based on presently known facts, experience, and circumstances, the Company believes that the amounts accrued on its balance sheet related to this litigation are adequate and that the liabilities arising from the asbestos and silica personal injury lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, at this time, based on presently available information, the Company views this possibility as remote.

The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to several sites designated for cleanup under U.S. federal “Superfund” or similar state laws that impose liability for cleanup of certain waste sites and for related natural resource damages. Persons potentially liable for such costs and damages generally include the site owner or operator and persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at those sites. Although these laws impose joint and several liability, in application, the PRPs typically allocate the investigation and cleanup costs based upon the volume of waste contributed by each PRP. Based on currently available information, the Company was only a small contributor to these waste sites, and the Company has, or is attempting to negotiate, de minimis settlements for their cleanup. The cleanup of the remaining sites is substantially complete and the Company’s future obligations entail a share of the sites’ ongoing operating and maintenance expense.

The Company is also addressing three on-site cleanups for which it is the primary responsible party. Two of these cleanup sites are in the operation and maintenance stage and the third is in the implementation stage. Based on currently available information, the Company does not anticipate that any of these sites will result in material additional costs beyond those already accrued on its balance sheet.

The Company has an accrued liability on its balance sheet to the extent costs are known or can be reasonably estimated for its remaining financial obligations for these matters. Based on currently available information, the Company does not anticipate any material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or competitive position as a result of compliance with federal, state, local or foreign environmental laws or regulations, or cleanup costs relating to the sites discussed above.

Note 15. Segment Results

The Company has determined its reportable segments in accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting (“FASB ASC 280”), and evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on, among other measures, operating income, which is defined as income before interest expense, other income, net, and income taxes. Reportable segment operating income and segment operating margin (defined as segment operating income divided by segment revenues) are indicative of short-term operating performance and ongoing profitability. Management closely monitors the operating income and operating margin of each reportable segment to evaluate past performance and actions required to improve profitability.

In the Industrial Products Group, the Company designs, manufactures, markets and services the following products and related aftermarket parts for industrial and commercial applications: rotary screw, reciprocating, and sliding vane air and gas compressors; positive displacement, centrifugal and side channel blowers; and vacuum pumps primarily serving manufacturing, transportation and general industry and selected OEM and engineered system applications.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company currently expects to fund the purchase price with cash on hand and borrowings under its 2008 Credit Agreement (as described below).

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, including the financial statements, accompanying notes and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Segments

The Company has determined its reportable segments in accordance with FASB ASC 280 and evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on, among other measures, operating income, which is defined as income before interest expense, other income, net, and income taxes. Reportable segment operating income and segment operating margin (defined as segment operating income divided by segment revenues) are indicative of short-term operating performance and ongoing profitability. Management closely monitors the operating income and operating margin of each business segment to evaluate past performance and identify actions required to improve profitability. See Note 15 “Segment Results” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, management, from time to time, uses additional measures to clarify and enhance understanding of past performance and prospects for the future. These measures may exclude, for example, the impact of unique and infrequent items or items outside of management’s control (e.g. foreign currency exchange rates). Such measures are provided in addition to and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable measure under GAAP.

Results of Operations

Performance during the Quarter Ended September 30, 2011 Compared

with the Quarter Ended September 30, 2010

Revenues

Revenues increased $121.3 million, or 25%, to $614.7 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to $493.4 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. This increase was attributable to higher volume in both segments ($85.0 million, or 18%), favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($25.7 million, or 5%) and price increases ($10.6 million, or 2%).

Revenues in the Industrial Products Group increased $39.6 million, or 14%, to $320.2 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $280.6 million in the third quarter of 2010. This increase reflects higher volume (6%), favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates (6%) and price increases (2%). The volume increase was attributable to ongoing improvement in demand for OEM products, compressors, custom engineered packages and aftermarket parts and services on a global basis. Strong growth was experienced in all major geographic regions.

Revenues in the Engineered Products Group increased $81.7 million, or 38%, to $294.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $212.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. This increase reflects higher volume (31%), favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates (4%) and price increases (3%). The volume increase reflected continued strong demand for drilling and well servicing pumps, liquid ring pumps, aftermarket products and related services, loading arms and growth in emerging markets.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $45.2 million, or 28%, to $205.5 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to $160.3 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, and as a percentage of revenues was 33.4% in 2011, compared to 32.5% in 2010. The increase in gross profit primarily reflects the volume increases discussed above, favorable product mix, cost reductions and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the benefits of operational improvements, cost reductions, volume leverage and favorable product mix.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased $3.1 million, or 3%, to $94.2 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $91.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. This increase reflects unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($5.0 million), partially offset by cost reductions. As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses improved to 15.3% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 18.5% in the third quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of cost reductions and leverage from higher revenues.

Other Operating Expense, Net

Other operating expense, net, was $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. Restructuring charges of $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 were primarily associated with facility consolidations in Europe. Other operating expenses recorded in the third quarter of 2011 also included acquisition due diligence costs totaling $1.4 million, primarily associated with the Company’s agreement to acquire Robuschi, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2011. Net foreign currency losses of $1.8 million recorded in the third quarter of 2010 reflected the effect of the weakening of the USD against primarily the EUR and GBP on the Company’s financial instruments denominated in the EUR and GBP.

Operating Income

Operating income of $106.6 million in the third quarter of 2011 increased $38.6 million, or 57%, compared to $68.0 million in the third quarter of 2010. Operating income as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter of 2011 was 17.3% compared to 13.8% in the third quarter of 2010. This improvement was due primarily to incremental profitability on revenue growth, favorable product mix and the benefits of operational improvements previously implemented. Charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items totaled $4.9 million, or 0.8% of revenues, in 2011 and $0.1 million in 2010.

The Industrial Products Group generated segment operating income and segment operating margin of $38.6 million and 12.1%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $26.5 million and 9.4%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010 (see Note 15 “Segment Results” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated income before tax). The year over year improvement in operating income and operating margin was primarily attributable to incremental profit on revenue growth, favorable product mix and cost reductions. Charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items totaled $3.2 million, or 1.0% of revenues, in 2011. Credits associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items totaled $0.2 million in 2010.

The Engineered Products Group generated segment operating income and segment operating margin of $68.0 million and 23.1%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $41.5 million and 19.5%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010 (see Note 15 “Segment Results” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated income before tax). The year over year improvement in operating income and operating margin was primarily attributable to incremental profit on revenue growth, favorable product mix and cost reductions. Charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items totaled $1.7 million, or 0.5% of revenues, in 2011 and $0.3 million, or 0.2% of revenues, in 2010.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2011 decreased $2.8 million from $5.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 due to lower average borrowings and a lower weighted average interest rate. The year over year reduction in borrowings was primarily due to the redemption in the second quarter of 2011 of all $125.0 million in aggregate principal of the Company’s outstanding 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due in 2013 (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”), partially offset by incremental borrowings associated with the acquisition of outstanding common stock under the Company’s share repurchase program during the third quarter of 2011. The weighted average interest rate, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, decreased to 5.3% in the third quarter of 2011 compared to 7.2% in the third quarter of 2010, also due primarily to the redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $29.5 million and the effective tax rate was 28.5% in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $16.6 million and 26.2%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010. The year over year increase in the provision reflects higher taxable income, and the increase in the effective tax rate primarily reflects a higher proportion of taxable income in the U.S. in 2011 compared to 2010.

Net Income Attributable to Gardner Denver

Net income attributable to Gardner Denver of $73.6 million and diluted earnings per share (“DEPS”) of $1.42 in the third quarter of 2011 compares with net income attributable to Gardner Denver and DEPS of $46.6 million and $0.88, respectively, in the third quarter of 2010. This improvement reflects the net effect of the operating income, interest expense and income tax factors discussed above. Results in the third quarter of 2011 included charges for profit improvement initiatives and other items totaling $3.5 million after income taxes, or $0.06 on a diluted per share basis. Net charges for profit improvement initiatives and other items were not material in the third quarter of 2010. The Company’s repurchase of shares of its common stock, primarily during the third quarter of 2011, resulted in a $0.02 increase in DEPS in the third quarter.

Performance during the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared

with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

Revenues

Revenues increased $392.1 million, or 29%, to $1,757.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to $1,365.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. This increase was attributable to higher volume in both segments ($284.8 million, or 21%), favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($68.4 million, or 5%) price increases ($30.4 million, or 2%), and the acquisition of ILMVAC in the third quarter of 2010 ($8.5 million, or 1%).

Revenues in the Industrial Products Group increased $138.5 million, or 17%, to $934.2 million in the nine-month period of 2011, compared to $795.7 million in the nine-month period of 2010. This increase reflects higher volume (9%), favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates (6%) and price increases (2%). The volume increase was attributable to ongoing improvement in demand for OEM products, compressors, custom engineered packages and aftermarket parts and services on a global basis. Strong growth was experienced in all major geographic regions.

Revenues in the Engineered Products Group increased $253.5 million, or 45%, to $823.0 million in the nine-month period of 2011, compared to $569.5 million in the nine-month period of 2010. This increase reflects higher volume (37%), favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates (4%), price increases (3%) and the acquisition of ILMVAC (1%). The volume increase reflected continued strong demand for drilling and well servicing pumps, liquid ring pumps, medical OEM products, aftermarket products and related services, loading arms and growth in emerging markets.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $154.5 million, or 35%, to $600.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to $445.7 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, and as a percentage of revenues was 34.2% in 2011, compared to 32.7% in 2010. The increase in gross profit primarily reflects the volume increases discussed above, favorable product mix, cost reductions and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The improvement in gross profit as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to the benefits of operational improvements, cost reductions, volume leverage and favorable product mix.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased $24.7 million, or 9%, to $295.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to $270.5 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. This increase reflects unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($13.4 million), higher compensation and benefit expenses and the acquisition of ILMVAC ($1.9 million), partially offset by cost reductions. As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses improved to 16.8% in the nine-month period of 2011 compared to 19.8% in the nine-month period of 2010, primarily as a result of cost reductions and leverage from higher revenues.

Other Operating Expense, Net

Other operating expense, net, was $12.4 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 and $3.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. Restructuring charges of $6.6 million incurred in the nine-month period of 2011 were primarily associated with facility consolidations in Europe and compare with charges of $2.3 million recorded in the nine-month period of 2010. Net foreign currency losses of $2.6 million recorded in the nine-month period of 2011 reflected the effect of the weakening of the USD against primarily the EUR and GBP on the Company’s financial instruments denominated in the EUR and GBP during the first six months of the year. Net foreign currency losses of $1.1 million recorded in the nine-month period of 2010 reflected the effect of the weakening of the USD against those currencies during the third quarter of 2010, partially offset by the strengthening of the USD against those currencies during the first quarter. Other operating expenses recorded in the nine-month period of 2011 included acquisition due diligence costs totaling $1.6 million, primarily associated with the Company’s agreement to acquire Robuschi, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2011. Results in 2010 reflected an insurance settlement received in the first quarter.

Operating Income

Operating income of $292.6 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 increased $120.5 million, or 70%, compared to $172.1 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. Operating income as a percentage of revenues in the nine-month period of 2011 was 16.6% compared to 12.6% in the nine-month period of 2010. This improvement was due primarily to incremental profitability on revenue growth, favorable product mix and the benefits of operational improvements previously implemented. Charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items totaled $11.8 million, or 0.7% of revenues, in 2011 and $2.9 million, or 0.2% of revenues, in 2010.

The Industrial Products Group generated segment operating income and segment operating margin of $103.7 million and 11.1%, respectively, in the nine-month period of 2011, compared to $66.2 million and 8.3%, respectively, in the nine-month period of 2010 (see Note 15 “Segment Results” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated income before tax). The year over year improvement in operating income and operating margin was primarily attributable to incremental profit on revenue growth, favorable product mix and cost reductions. Charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items totaled $8.8 million, or 0.9% of revenues, in 2011 and $3.7 million, or 0.5% of revenues, in 2010.

The Engineered Products Group generated segment operating income and segment operating margin of $188.8 million and 22.9%, respectively, in the nine-month period of 2011, compared to $105.9 million and 18.6%, respectively, in the nine-month period of 2010 (see Note 15 “Segment Results” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of segment operating income to consolidated income before tax). The year over year improvement in operating income and operating margin was primarily attributable to incremental profit on revenue growth, favorable product mix and cost reductions. Charges associated with profit improvement initiatives and other items totaled $3.0 million, or 0.4% of revenues, in 2011 and a credit of $0.8 million, or 0.1% of revenues, in 2010.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $12.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 decreased $5.6 million from $17.8 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 due to lower average borrowings and a lower weighted average interest rate. The year over year reduction in borrowings was primarily due to the redemption in the second quarter of 2011 of the Senior Subordinated Notes as discussed above, partially offset by incremental borrowings associated with the acquisition of outstanding common stock under the Company’s share repurchase program, primarily during the third quarter of 2011. The weighted average interest rate, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, decreased to 6.3% in the nine-month period of 2011 compared to 7.1% in the nine-month period of 2010, also due primarily to the redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes in the second quarter of 2011.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $79.3 million and the effective tax rate was 28.2% in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to $38.9 million and 25.0%, respectively, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. The year over year increase in the provision reflects higher taxable income, and the increase in the effective tax rate primarily reflects a higher proportion of taxable income in the U.S. in 2011 compared to 2010.

Net Income Attributable to Gardner Denver

Net income attributable to Gardner Denver of $200.2 million and DEPS of $3.82 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 compares with net income attributable to Gardner Denver and DEPS of $115.9 million and $2.20, respectively, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. This improvement reflects the net effect of the operating income, interest expense and income tax factors discussed above. Results in the nine-month period of 2011 included charges for profit improvement initiatives and other items totaling $8.4 million after income taxes, or $0.16 on a diluted per share basis. Results in the nine-month period of 2010 included net charges for profit improvement initiatives and other items totaling $2.2 million after income taxes, or $0.04 on a diluted per share basis. The Company’s repurchase of shares of its common stock, primarily during the third quarter of 2011, resulted in a $0.02 increase in DEPS in the nine-month period of 2011.

Outlook

Industrial Products Group

In general, the Company believes that demand for products in its Industrial Products Group tends to correlate with the rate of total industrial capacity utilization and the rate of change of industrial production because compressed air is often used as a fourth utility in the manufacturing process. Capacity utilization rates above 80% have historically indicated a good demand environment for industrial equipment such as compressor and vacuum products. Over longer time periods, the Company believes that demand also tends to follow economic growth patterns indicated by the rates of change in the gross domestic product around the world.

In the third quarter of 2011, orders in the Industrial Products Group increased $56.4 million, or 21%, to $327.2 million, compared to $270.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. This increase reflected on-going improvement in demand for OEM products, compressors, custom engineered packages in Asia Pacific and aftermarket parts and services, with growth realized in all major geographic regions ($39.0 million, or 15%), and the favorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($17.4 million, or 6%). Order backlog for the Industrial Products Group increased 17% to $248.6 million as of September 30, 2011 from $211.7 million at December 31, 2010 due primarily to the growth in orders as discussed above ($39.9 million, or 19%), partially offset by the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($3.0 million, or 2%). Order backlog for the Industrial Products Group as of September 30, 2011 increased 15% compared to $217.0 million as of September 30, 2010, due primarily to the growth in orders ($33.8 million, or 16%), partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($2.2 million, or 1%). The Company currently expects continued revenue growth in the Industrial Products Group, as a result of healthy demand in its core end markets as well as growth in emerging markets such as Asia Pacific. It expects that global capacity utilization will remain steady for the balance of 2011, resulting in sustained levels of manufacturing spending and investment in customer plants, and that this growth will drive demand for compressors, blowers, vacuum products and opportunities for replacement parts and services.

Engineered Products Group

Orders for products in the Engineered Products Group have historically corresponded to demand for petrochemical products and been influenced by prices for oil and natural gas, and rig count, among other factors,

which the Company cannot predict. Revenues for Engineered Products depend more on existing backlog levels than revenues for Industrial Products. Many of these products are used in process applications, such as oil and gas refining and chemical processing, which are industries that typically experience increased demand very late in economic cycles.

Orders in the Engineered Products Group increased 7% to $300.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $279.9 million in the third quarter of 2010, due to strong demand for well servicing pumps and growth in emerging markets, partially offset by reduced orders for loading arms ($12.0 million, or 4%), and the favorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($8.6 million, or 3%). Order backlog for the Engineered Products Group increased 23% to $420.8 million as of September 30, 2011 from $341.8 million at December 31, 2010 due primarily to the net growth in orders ($80.7 million, or 24%), partially offset by the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($1.7 million, or 1%). Order backlog for the Engineered Products Group as of September 30, 2011 increased 23% compared to $341.7 million as of September 30, 2010, primarily as a result of the net growth in orders ($81.1 million, or 24%), partially offset by the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($2.0 million, or 1%). Demand for well servicing pumps and aftermarket fluid ends continue to grow as shale activity increases, and the Company is investing in additional capacity to meet this growth. Additionally, demand for engineered packages and OEM compressors remains healthy.

Order backlog consists of orders believed to be firm for which a customer purchase order has been received or communicated. However, since orders may be rescheduled or canceled, order backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenue levels.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Working Capital

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, net working capital (defined as total current assets less total current liabilities) increased to $494.3 million from $468.9 million at December 31, 2010. Operating working capital (defined as accounts receivable plus inventories, less accounts payable and accrued liabilities) increased $29.1 million to $318.1 million from $289.0 million at December 31, 2010 due to higher accounts receivable ($89.2 million) and inventory ($41.3 million), partially offset by higher accounts payable ($51.9 million) and accrued liabilities ($49.5 million). The increase in accounts receivable was due primarily to higher revenues and the timing of shipments within the third quarter, partially offset by the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($2.0 million). Days sales in receivables increased to 69 at September 30, 2011 from 64 at December 31, 2010 due primarily to the timing of shipments within the third quarter, and were up slightly from 68 days at September 30, 2010. The increase in inventory primarily reflects growth attributable to increases in both orders and backlog during the first nine months of 2011, offset slightly by the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates ($0.8 million). Inventory turns were 5.8 in the third quarter of 2011, compared with 5.8 in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 5.6 in the third quarter of 2010. Productivity improvements offset the impact of the significant growth in orders and backlog on inventory turns. Inventory turns improved in the third quarter of 2011 from 4.7 in the first quarter and 5.3 in the second quarter of 2011. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was due primarily to the timing of payments to vendors and higher accrued income taxes, compensation, customer advance payments and product warranty, partially offset the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Cash Flows

Cash provided by operating activities of $211.5 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 increased $58.3 million from $153.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. This improvement was primarily due to higher net income (excluding non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization and unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses), partially offset by higher cash used by operating working capital in 2011 compared to 2010. Operating working capital used cash of $27.5 million in the nine-month period of 2011 and $13.4 million in the nine-month period of 2010. Cash used in accounts receivable of $91.2 million and $40.4 million in the nine-month periods of 2011 and 2010, respectively, reflected increased sales and the timing of shipments within both periods. Cash used in inventory of $42.1 million and $10.0 million in the nine-month periods of 2011 and 2010, respectively, reflected the growth in orders and backlog during the nine-month period of each year. Changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses generated cash of $105.8 million in the nine-month period of 2011 and $37.0 million in the nine-month period of 2010. The year over year improvement was due primarily to the timing of payments to vendors in 2011 and higher employee termination benefit payments in 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities of $38.4 million and $30.1 million in the nine-month periods of 2011 and 2010, respectively, consisted primarily of capital expenditures on assets intended to increase production output to meet improving demand and reduce costs. The Company currently expects capital expenditures to total approximately $55 million for the full year 2011. As a result of the Company’s application of lean principles, non-capital or less capital-intensive solutions are often utilized in process improvement initiatives and capital replacement. Capital expenditures related to environmental projects have not been significant in the past and are not expected to be significant in the foreseeable future. Net cash paid in business combinations reflected the acquisition of certain technology in the nine-month period of 2011 and the acquisition of ILMVAC in the nine-month period of 2010.

Net cash used in financing activities of $183.4 million in the nine-month period of 2011 compares with $65.1 million used in the nine-month period of 2010. Cash provided by operating activities was used for net repayments of short-term and long-term borrowings totaling $31.3 million in the nine-month period of 2011 and $56.7 million in the nine-month period of 2010. The Company’s redemption of its Senior Subordinated Notes (aggregate principal of $125.0 million) in the second quarter of 2011 was funded with available cash of $55.0 million and borrowings under its revolving credit facility of $70.0 million. Cash used for the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock totaled $132.6 million and $17.9 million in the nine-month periods of 2011 and 2010, respectively, including shares exchanged or surrendered in connection with its stock option plans of $1.2 million in 2011 and $0.3 million in 2010. The share repurchases were funded through a combination of cash on hand and utilization of the Company’s Revolving Line of Credit (as defined below). During the third quarter of 2011, the Company completed the purchase of the equity interests of the minority shareholders of its two joint ventures in China for a total cost of RMB 122.0 million ($18.8 million based on exchange rates at the date of payment). The purchase was accounted for by the Company as an equity transaction. Cash dividends paid were $7.9 million ($0.15 per common share) in the nine-month periods of both years.

Share Repurchase Program

In November 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to acquire up to 3.0 million shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, of which approximately 0.3 million shares remained available for repurchase as of September 30, 2011.

Liquidity

The Company’s debt to total capital ratio (defined as total debt divided by the sum of total debt plus total stockholders’ equity) was 17.2% as of September 30, 2011 compared to 19.5% as of December 31, 2010. This decrease primarily reflects a $30.8 million net decrease in borrowings between these two dates, including the effect of the redemption of the Senior Subordinated Notes.

The Company’s primary cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, principal and interest payments on indebtedness, cash dividends on its common stock, selective acquisitions and any stock repurchases. The Company’s primary sources of funds are its ongoing net cash flows from operating activities and availability under its Revolving Line of Credit (as defined below). At September 30, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $143.9 million, of which $7.1 million was pledged to financial institutions as collateral to support issued standby letters of credit and similar instruments. The Company also had $177.2 million of unused availability under its Revolving Line of Credit at September 30, 2011. Based on the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2011 and its pro-forma results of operations for the twelve months then ended, the unused availability under its Revolving Line of Credit would not have been limited by the financial ratio covenants in the 2008 Credit Agreement (as described below).

As previously announced, on October 6, 2011, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to purchase 100 percent of the outstanding shares of Robuschi, a market leading European manufacturer of blowers and pumps, for a purchase price of approximately €152 million. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Company currently expects to fund the purchase price with cash on hand and borrowings under its 2008 Credit Agreement (as described below).

On September 19, 2008, the Company entered into the 2008 Credit Agreement consisting of (i) a $310.0 million Revolving Line of Credit (the “Revolving Line of Credit”), (ii) a $180.0 million term loan (“U.S. Dollar Term Loan”) and (iii) a €120.0 million term loan (“Euro Term Loan”). In addition, the 2008 Credit Agreement provides for a possible increase in the Revolving Line of Credit of up to $200.0 million.

On October 15 and 16, 2008, the Company borrowed $200.0 million and £40.0 million, respectively, pursuant to the Revolving Line of Credit. This amount was used by the Company, in part to retire the outstanding balances under its previous credit agreement, at which point it was terminated, and in part to pay a portion of the cash purchase price of the Company’s acquisition of CompAir. On October 17, 2008, the Company borrowed $180.0 million and €120.0 million pursuant to the U.S. Dollar Term Loan and the Euro Term Loan, respectively. These facilities, together with a portion of the borrowing under the Revolving Line of Credit and existing cash, were used to pay the cash portion of the CompAir acquisition.

The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the 2008 Credit Agreement are, at the Company’s option, either a base rate plus an applicable margin percentage or a Eurocurrency rate plus an applicable margin. The base rate is the greater of (i) the prime rate or (ii) one-half of 1% over the weighted average of rates on overnight federal funds as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Eurocurrency rate is LIBOR.

The initial applicable margin percentage over LIBOR under the 2008 Credit Agreement was 2.5% with respect to the term loans and 2.1% with respect to loans under the Revolving Line of Credit, and the initial applicable margin percentage over the base rate was 1.25% with respect to floating rate loans. After the Company’s delivery of its financial statements and compliance certificate for each fiscal quarter, the applicable margin percentages are subject to adjustments based upon the ratio of the Company’s consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) (each as defined in the 2008 Credit Agreement) being within certain defined ranges. The applicable margin percentage over LIBOR was adjusted down during the third quarter of 2010. At September 30, 2011, the applicable margin percentage over LIBOR under the 2008 Credit Agreement was 1.5% with respect to the term loans and 1.2% with respect to loans under the Revolving Line of Credit, and the applicable margin percentage over the base rate was 0.25% with respect to floating rate loans.

The obligations under the 2008 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The obligations under the 2008 Credit Agreement are also secured by a pledge of the capital stock of each of the Company’s existing and future material domestic subsidiaries, as well as 65% of the capital stock of each of the Company’s existing and future first-tier material foreign subsidiaries.

The 2008 Credit Agreement includes customary covenants. Subject to certain exceptions, these covenants restrict or limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things: incur liens; engage in mergers, consolidations and sales of assets; incur additional indebtedness; pay dividends and redeem stock; make investments (including loans and advances); enter into transactions with affiliates, make capital expenditures and incur rental obligations. In addition, the 2008 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios on a quarterly basis, including a maximum total leverage ratio test and a minimum interest coverage ratio test. As of September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with each of the financial ratio covenants under the 2008 Credit Agreement.

The 2008 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including upon a change of control. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the 2008 Credit Agreement will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the 2008 Credit Agreement.

The U.S. Dollar and Euro Term Loans have a final maturity of October 15, 2013. The U.S. Dollar Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments aggregating approximately $4.6 million, $25.4 million and $34.6 million in fiscal years 2011 through 2013, respectively. The Euro Term Loan requires quarterly principal payments aggregating approximately €3.0 million, €16.5 million and €22.5 million in fiscal years 2011 through 2013, respectively.

The Revolving Line of Credit also matures on October 15, 2013. Loans under this facility may be denominated in USD or several foreign currencies and may be borrowed by the Company or two of its foreign subsidiaries as outlined in the 2008 Credit Agreement.

As discussed above, the Company redeemed its $125.0 million 8% Senior Subordinated Notes during the second quarter of 2011. The Senior Subordinated Notes had a fixed annual interest rate of 8% and were guaranteed by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The Senior Subordinated Notes were redeemed on May 2, 2011 for a total of $125.0 million, consisting of the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption.

Management currently expects that the Company’s cash on hand and future cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to fund its working capital, capital expenditures, scheduled principal and interest payments on indebtedness, cash dividends on its common stock and any stock repurchases for at least the next twelve months, and believes that its overall liquidity position, including availability under the Revolving Line of Credit, is adequate. The Company continues to consider additional acquisition opportunities, but the size and timing of any future acquisitions and the related potential capital requirements cannot be predicted. In the event that suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon acceptable terms, the Company may obtain all or a portion of the necessary financing through the incurrence of additional long-term borrowings.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table and accompanying disclosures summarize the Company’s significant contractual obligations at September 30, 2011 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flow in future periods:


	Payments Due by Period
(Dollars in millions)	Total		Balance of 2011		2012-2013		2014-2015		After 2015
Contractual Cash Obligations
Debt	$	249.7	$	10.5	$	235.6	$	0.8	$	2.8
Estimated interest payments ⁽¹⁾		20.1		2.5		10.9		2.5		4.2
Capital leases		7.4		0.2		0.9		2.7		3.6
Operating leases		50.3		5.0		25.6		11.5		8.2
Purchase obligations ⁽²⁾		356.1		252.8		103.2		—		0.1

Total	$	683.6	$	271.0	$	376.2	$	17.5	$	18.9

(1)

Estimated interest payments for long-term debt were calculated as follows: for fixed-rate debt and term debt, interest was calculated based on applicable rates and payment dates; for variable-rate debt and/or non-term debt, interest rates and payment dates were estimated based on management’s determination of the most likely scenarios for each relevant debt instrument.

(2)

Purchase obligations consist primarily of agreements to purchase inventory or services made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements. The purchase obligation amounts do not represent the entire anticipated purchases in the future, but represent only those items for which the Company is contractually obligated as of September 30, 2011. For this reason, these amounts will not provide a complete and reliable indicator of the Company’s expected future cash outflows.

The above table does not include the Company’s total pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities and net deferred income tax liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 because such liabilities, due to their nature, do not represent expected liquidity needs. There have not been material changes to such liabilities or the Company’s minimum pension funding obligations other than as disclosed in Note 6 “Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits” and Note 12 “Income Taxes” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Also please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

In the normal course of business, the Company or its subsidiaries may sometimes be required to provide surety bonds, standby letters of credit or similar instruments to guarantee its performance of contractual or legal obligations. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $77.9 million in such instruments outstanding and had pledged $7.1 million of cash to the issuing financial institutions as collateral for such instruments.

New Accounting Standards

Refer to Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a description of new accounting pronouncements, including the expected impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management has evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed financial statements and related notes and believes those policies to be reasonable and appropriate. Certain of these accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on historical experience, trends in the industry, information provided by customers and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. The most significant areas involving management judgments and estimates may be found in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 28, 2011, in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis and in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All of the statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” other than historical facts, are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the statements made under the caption “Outlook.” As a general matter, forward-looking statements are those focused upon anticipated events or trends, expectations, and beliefs relating to matters that are not historical in nature. The words “could,” “anticipate,” “preliminary,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “foresee,” “project,” “forecast,” or the negative thereof or variations thereon, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for these forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors relating to the Company’s operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. These known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in, anticipated by or implied by such forward-looking statements.

These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the Company’s exposure to the risks associated with future global economic down turns, which may negatively impact its revenues, liquidity, suppliers and customers; (2) exposure to cycles in specific markets, particularly the level of oil and natural gas prices and oil and natural gas drilling production, which affect demand for the Company’s petroleum products, and industrial production and manufacturing capacity utilization rates, which affect demand for the Company’s industrial products; (3) the risks associated with competition in the Company’s market segments, particularly the pricing of the Company’s products; (4) the risks of large or rapid increases in raw material costs or substantial decreases in their availability, and the Company’s dependence on particular suppliers, particularly copper, aluminum, iron casting and other metal suppliers; (5) economic, political and other risks associated with the Company’s international sales and operations, including changes in currency exchange rates (primarily between the USD, the EUR, the GBP and the CNY); (6) the risks associated with the potential loss of key customers for petroleum products and the potential resulting negative impact on the Company’s profitability and cash flows; (7) the risks associated with potential product liability and warranty claims due to the nature of the Company’s products; (8) the risks that the Company will not realize the expected financial benefits from potential future restructuring actions; (9) the ability to attract and retain quality executive management and other key personnel; (10) the risk that communication or information systems failure may disrupt the Company’s business and result in financial loss and liability to its customers; (11) the ability to avoid employee work stoppages and other labor difficulties; (12) the risks associated with potential changes in shale oil and gas regulation; (13) the risks associated with pending asbestos and silica personal injury lawsuits; (14) the risk of non-compliance with U.S. and foreign laws and regulations applicable to the Company’s international operations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other similar laws; (15) the risks associated with environmental compliance costs and liabilities, including the compliance costs and liabilities of future climate change regulations; (16) the risks associated with enforcing the Company’s intellectual property rights and defending against potential intellectual property claims; (17) the risk of possible future charges if the Company determines that the value of goodwill and other intangible assets, representing a significant portion of the Company’s total assets, are impaired; (18) risks associated with the Company’s indebtedness and changes in the availability or costs of new financing to support the Company’s operations and future investments; (19) the ability to continue to identify and complete strategic acquisitions and effectively integrate such acquired companies to achieve desired financial benefits; and (20) changes in discount rates used for actuarial assumptions in pension and other postretirement obligation and expense calculations and market performance of pension plan assets. The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with important information regarding risks and factors that may affect the Company’s future performance set forth under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

These statements reflect the current views and assumptions of management with respect to future events. The Company does not undertake, and hereby disclaims, any duty to update these forward-looking statements, even though its situation and circumstances may change in the future. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The inclusion of any statement in this report does not constitute an admission by the Company or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to certain market risks during the normal course of business arising from adverse changes in commodity prices, interest rates, and currency exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to these risks is managed through a combination of operating and financing activities. The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments (“derivatives”), including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps, to manage the risks from fluctuations in currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company does not hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, and currency exchange rates can be volatile, and the Company’s risk management activities do not totally eliminate these risks. Consequently, these fluctuations could have a significant effect on the Company’s financial results.

Notional transaction amounts and fair values for the Company’s outstanding derivatives, by risk category and instrument type, as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, are summarized in Note 11 “Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements” in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Commodity Price Risk

The Company is a purchaser of certain commodities, principally aluminum. In addition, the Company is a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including cast iron, aluminum, copper and steel. The Company generally buys these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process. The Company does not use commodity financial instruments to hedge commodity prices.

The Company has long-term contracts with some of its suppliers of key components. However, to the extent that commodity prices increase and the Company does not have firm pricing from its suppliers, or its suppliers are not able to honor such prices, then the Company may experience margin declines to the extent it is not able to increase selling prices of its products.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from its borrowings of $257.1 million at September 30, 2011. The Company manages its debt centrally, considering tax consequences and its overall financing strategies. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mixture of fixed and variable rate debt and uses pay-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt in order to adjust the relative proportions. The interest rates on approximately 33% of the Company’s borrowings were effectively fixed as of September 30, 2011. If the relevant LIBOR amounts for all of the Company’s borrowings had been 100 basis points higher than actual in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s interest expense would have increased by $1.0 million.

Exchange Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to the impacts of changes in currency exchange rates on the translation of its non-U.S. subsidiaries’ assets, liabilities, and earnings into USD. The Company partially offsets these exposures by having certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries act as the obligor on a portion of its borrowings and by denominating such borrowings, as well as a portion of the borrowings for which the Company is the obligor, in currencies other than the USD. Borrowings by the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries at September 30, 2011 totaled $16.6 million, and the Company’s consolidated borrowings denominated in currencies other than the USD totaled $72.9 million. Fluctuations due to changes in currency exchange rates in the value of non-USD borrowings that have been designated as hedges of the Company’s net investment in foreign operations are included in other comprehensive income.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to the risk that arises when they, from time to time, enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To mitigate this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries typically settle intercompany trading balances monthly. The Company also selectively uses forward currency contracts to manage this risk. At September 30, 2011, the notional amount of open forward currency contracts was $86.0 million and their aggregate fair value was an asset of $1.7 million.

To illustrate the impact of currency exchange rates on the Company’s financial results, the Company’s operating income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 would have decreased by approximately $15.0 million if the USD had been 10% more valuable than actual relative to other currencies. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion to the USD and that there are no indirect effects of the change in the value of the USD such as changes in non-USD sales volumes or prices.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management carried out an evaluation (as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon this evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, such that the information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In addition, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation, as required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
