NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying condensed financial statements
include the accounts of Gardner Denver, Inc. ("Gardner Denver" or the
"Company") and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
and accounts have been eliminated. Investments in entities in which the
Company has twenty to fifty percent ownership are accounted for by the
equity method.
The financial information presented as of any date other than December 31
has been prepared from the books and records without audit. The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of such financial statements, have been included.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
incorporated by reference in Gardner Denver's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2000.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.
NOTE 2. RECENT ACQUISITIONS.
Effective September 10, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets and stock
of Hoffman Air and Filtration Systems ("Hoffman"). Hoffman, headquartered in
Syracuse, New York, manufactures and distributes multistage centrifugal
blowers and vacuum systems, primarily for wastewater treatment and
industrial applications. Effective September 1, 2001, the Company also
acquired certain assets and stock of the Hamworthy Belliss & Morcom
compressor business ("HBM"). HBM is headquartered in Gloucester, England and
manufactures and distributes lubricated and oil-free reciprocating air
compressors for a variety of applications. The aggregate purchase price, net
of cash acquired, was approximately $82 million for these acquisitions. The
purchase price of each acquisition has been allocated primarily to
receivables; inventory; property, plant and equipment; and accounts payable
and accrued liabilities, based on their respective fair values at the date
of acquisition.
During 2000, the Company completed three acquisitions. Effective July 1,
2000, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of CRS
Power Flow, Inc. ("CRS"). On April 5, 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the
issued and outstanding stock of Jetting Systems & Accessories, Inc. ("JSA").
CRS and JSA are both located in Houston, Texas. On January 1, 2000, the
Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain agreed
upon liabilities of Invincible Airflow Systems, Co., located in Baltic,
Ohio.
All acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method, and
accordingly, their results are included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements from the respective dates of
- 5 -
acquisition. Under the purchase method, the purchase price is allocated
based on the fair value of assets received and liabilities assumed as of the
acquisition date. The purchase price allocation for Hoffman and HBM, used in
preparation of the September 30, 2001 consolidated balance sheet, is
preliminary and subject to adjustment when finalized.
As a result of the stability of the product technology, markets and
customers associated with these acquisitions, the cost in excess of net
assets acquired for each acquisition prior to June 30, 2001 is being
amortized over 40 years, using the straight-line method. The cost in excess
of net assets acquired for each acquisition made after June 30, 2001 has not
been amortized in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".

Credit Agreement, which was substantially used to complete the Hoffman
acquisition. The Interim Credit Agreement expires in March 2002 and
management expects it to be refinanced at, or prior to, maturity with
longer-term financing.
The Company also has a revolving line of credit agreement and an unsecured
senior note agreement. Effective September 10, 2001, these agreements were
amended to allow for the Interim Credit Facility mentioned above.
NOTE 6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME.
For the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, comprehensive income
was $8.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000, comprehensive income was $19.0 million and
$10.8 million, respectively. Items impacting the Company's comprehensive
income, but not included in net income, consist of foreign currency
translation adjustments.
NOTE 7. CASH FLOW INFORMATION.
In the first nine months of 2001 and 2000, the Company paid $8.6 million and
$6.2 million, respectively, to the various taxing authorities for income

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
PERFORMANCE IN THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED WITH
THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
Revenues
Revenues increased $11.8 million (13%) to $103.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001, compared to the same period of 2000.
Excluding incremental revenue from acquisitions, revenues increased $4.9
million (5%) over the same period of 2000. See Note 2 to the Financial
Statements for further information on the Company's recent acquisitions.
For the three months ended September 30, 2001, revenues for the Compressed
Air Products segment increased $3.6 million (5%) to $80.6 million compared
to the same period of 2000. Excluding acquisitions, revenues decreased $3.3
million due to declining U.S. industrial production, which weakened sales of
domestic rotary screw compressors and blowers, and unfavorable foreign
currency exchange rates. These negative factors were partially offset by
sales growth in the European compressor and domestic water jetting
businesses. Petroleum Products segment revenues increased $8.2 million (56%)
to $22.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to
the same period of 2000. This increase resulted from heightened demand for
petroleum products due to the continued high level of oil and natural gas
prices during the first half of 2001.
Costs and Expenses
Gross margin (defined as sales less cost of sales excluding depreciation and
amortization) for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased $5.3
million (21%) to $30.9 million compared to the same period of 2000. Gross
margin as a percentage of revenues (gross margin percentage) increased to
29.9% in the three-month period of 2001 from 27.9% in the same period of
2000. This increase in the gross margin percentage was principally
attributable to increased sales of higher margin drilling pumps, improved
operational performance at well stimulation and water jetting production
facilities, partially offset by unfavorable sales mix in the Compressed Air
Products segment.
Depreciation and amortization increased 6% to $4.3 million in the
three-month period of 2001, compared with $4.0 million for the same period
of 2000. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to
ongoing capital expenditures. For the three-month periods, depreciation and
amortization expense as a percentage of revenues decreased to 4.1% in 2001
from 4.4% in 2000. This percentage decrease is due to the effect of higher
revenues in 2001.
Selling and administrative expenses increased in the three-month period of
2001 by 25% to $17.0 million from $13.6 million in the same period of 2000
primarily due to higher payroll related expenses and the impact of
acquisitions. Due to these factors, selling and administrative
- 9 -
expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 16.4% in the third quarter
of 2001 compared to 14.9% in 2000.
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2001, included
approximately $0.6 million from litigation settlement proceeds. Excluding
the impact of this non-recurring gain, other income has declined due to
lower foreign currency gains generated from U.S. dollar denominated cash and
receivable balances of foreign subsidiaries in 2001 compared to 2000.
The Compressed Air Products segment generated operating margins (defined as
revenues, less cost of sales, depreciation and amortization, and selling and
administrative expenses) of 7.3% for the three-month period ended September
30, 2001, a decrease from 8.6% for the three-month period of 2000. This
decline was primarily attributable to higher payroll related expenses and
unfavorable sales mix partially offset by improved operational performance
at the water jetting production facility.
The Petroleum Products segment generated operating margins of 16.3% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001, compared to 9.0% for the same
period in 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to the positive
impact of increased leverage of the segment's fixed and semi-fixed costs
over a higher revenue base combined with improved operational performance at
well stimulation production facilities.
Interest expense decreased $0.3 million from the prior year period due to
lower average rates and borrowings. The average interest rate for the
three-month period of 2001 was 5.4%, compared to 6.2% for the same period of
2000.
Income before income taxes increased $2.3 million (36%) to $8.8 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2001, compared to the same period of
2000. This improvement was due to increased leverage of the petroleum
segment's fixed and semi-fixed costs on higher revenue volume, improved
operational performance at well stimulation and water jetting production
facilities and the non-recurring gain included in other income mentioned
above.
The provision for income taxes increased by $0.8 million to $3.3 million for
the third quarter of 2001 compared to $2.5 million in 2000, as a result of
the higher income before taxes partially offset by a lower overall effective
tax rate. The Company's effective tax rate for the current three-month
period decreased to 37.0%, compared to 38.1% in 2000 due to increased
savings from the Company's foreign sales corporation and the implementation
of other tax strategies.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased $1.5
million (38%) to $5.6 million ($0.35 diluted earnings per share), compared
to $4.0 million ($0.26 diluted earnings per share) for the same period of
2000. This increase in net income was attributable to the same factors that
resulted in increased income before taxes noted above.
- 10 -
PERFORMANCE IN THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED WITH
THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
Revenues
Revenues increased $33.2 million (12%) to $308.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001, compared to the same period of 2000. Excluding
incremental revenue from acquisitions, revenues increased $23.1 million (8%)
over the same period of 2000. See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for
further information on the Company's recent acquisitions.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, revenues for the Compressed
Air Products segment increased to $240.6 million from $237.2 million in the
comparable prior year period. Excluding acquisitions, revenues decreased
$6.8 million due to declining U.S. industrial production, which weakened
sales of domestic rotary screw compressors and blowers, and unfavorable
foreign currency exchange rates. These negative factors were partially
offset by sales growth in the European compressor and domestic water jetting
businesses. Petroleum Products segment revenues increased $29.8 million
(77%) to $68.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001,
compared to the same period of 2000. This increase resulted from heightened
demand for petroleum products due to the continued high level of oil and
natural gas prices during the first half of 2001.
Costs and Expenses
Gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased $11.5
million (14%) to $91.6 million compared to the same period of 2000. Gross
margin as a percentage of revenues (gross margin percentage) increased
slightly to 29.6% in the nine-month period of 2001 from 29.0% in the same
period of 2000. This increase in the gross margin percentage was principally
attributable to increased sales of higher margin drilling pumps, improved
operational performance at well stimulation and water jetting production
facilities, partially offset by unfavorable sales mix and higher warranty
expense in the Compressed Air Products segment.
Depreciation and amortization increased 7% to $12.7 million in the
nine-month period of 2001, compared with $11.9 million for the same period
of 2000. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense was due to
ongoing capital expenditures and goodwill amortization associated with
acquisitions completed prior to June 30, 2001. For the nine-month periods,
depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of revenues decreased
to 4.1% in 2001 from 4.3% in 2000. This percentage decrease was due to the
effect of higher revenues in 2001.
Selling and administrative expenses increased in the nine-month period of
2001 by 13% to $50.3 million from $44.3 million in the same period of 2000
primarily due to higher payroll related expenses and the impact of
acquisitions. Due to these factors, selling and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues increased to 16.3% in 2001 compared to 16.1% in 2000.
Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, includes
approximately $2.0 million from litigation settlement proceeds and $0.5
million from interest income related to finalization of an income tax
settlement with the Internal Revenue Service. Other income for the
- 11 -
nine months ended September 30, 2000 includes a $0.7 million gain from the
sale of the Company's idle facility in Syracuse, New York. Excluding the
impact of these non-recurring gains, other income has declined due to lower
foreign currency gains generated from U.S. dollar denominated cash and
receivable balances of foreign subsidiaries in 2001 compared to 2000.
The Compressed Air Products segment generated operating margins of 7.2% for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, a decrease from 8.8% for the
nine-month period of 2000. This decline was primarily attributable to higher
payroll related expenses and unfavorable sales mix partially offset by
improved operational performance at the water jetting production facility.
The Petroleum Products segment generated operating margins of 16.6% for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, compared to 7.8% for the same
period in 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to the positive
impact of increased leverage of the segment's fixed and semi-fixed costs
over a higher revenue base combined with improved operational performance at
well stimulation production facilities.
Interest expense decreased $0.7 million compared to the prior year period to
$4.9 million, due to lower average rates and borrowings. The average
interest rate was 5.8% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001,
compared to 6.2% for the same period of 2000.
Income before income taxes increased $6.3 million (31%) to $26.7 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to the same period of
2000. This improvement was due to increased leverage of the petroleum
segment's fixed and semi-fixed costs on higher revenue volume, improved
operational performance at well stimulation and water jetting production
facilities and the non-recurring gains included in other income mentioned
above.
The provision for income taxes increased by $2.1 million to $9.9 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001, compared to $7.8 million in 2000,
as a result of the higher income before taxes partially offset by a lower
overall effective tax rate. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine
month period decreased to 37.0%, compared to 38.1% in 2000 due to increased
savings from the Company's foreign sales corporation and the implementation
of other tax strategies.
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased $4.2
million (33%) to $16.8 million ($1.07 diluted earnings per share), compared
to $12.6 million ($0.82 diluted earnings per share) for the same period of
2000. This increase in net income was attributable to the same factors that
resulted in increased income before taxes noted above.
Outlook
Demand for petroleum products is related to market expectations for oil and
natural gas prices. Orders for petroleum products were $19.6 million in the
third quarter of 2001, an increase of $5.9 million compared to the same
period of 2000. For the first nine months of 2001, petroleum product orders
were $82.4 million, an increase of $40.2 million compared to the same period
of 2000. Compared to September 30, 2000, backlog for this business segment
increased $15.5 million to $26.3 million on September 30, 2001. These
increases can primarily be attributed to
- 12 -
the continued high level of oil and natural gas prices during the first half
of 2001. Future increases in demand for these products will likely be
dependent upon oil and natural gas prices, which the Company cannot predict.
Recent trends indicate a slowdown in this segment as oil and natural gas
prices have fallen off their highs of late 2000.
In general, demand for compressed air products follows the rate of
manufacturing capacity utilization and the rate of change of industrial
production because compressed air is often used as a fourth utility in the
manufacturing process. Over longer time periods, demand also follows the
economic growth patterns indicated by the rates of change in the Gross
Domestic Product. In the third quarter of 2001, orders for compressed air
products, including $6.7 million from acquisitions, were $76.1 million,
compared to $76.7 million in the same period of 2000. For the first nine
months of 2001, orders for compressed air products, including $9.9 million
from acquisitions were $236.3 million, compared to $231.2 million in the
same period of 2000. Order backlog for compressed air products, including
$22.7 million from acquisitions, was $68.5 million as of September 30, 2001,
compared to $45.1 million as of September 30, 2000. Excluding acquisitions,
the decreases in order activity in this segment are primarily the result of
a slowing U.S. industrial economy and unfavorable foreign currency rates,
partially offset by growth in European rotary screw compressors and domestic
water jetting products.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Working Capital
During the nine months ended September 30, 2001, operating working capital
(defined as receivables plus inventories, less accounts payable and accrued
liabilities) increased $7.7 million to $86.6 million, primarily due to
acquisitions.
Cash Flows
During the first nine months of 2001, the Company generated cash from
operations totaling $31.7 million, compared to $12.8 million in the prior
year period. This change is due to the higher net income coupled with a more
favorable change in operating working capital compared to the prior year
period. Net borrowings on short-term and long-term debt were $50.0 and $5.9
million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
These borrowings were substantially used to complete the Hoffman
acquisition. Cash used for other financing activities of $1.1 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 represents dividends paid to a
minority interest of one of the Company's foreign subsidiaries and debt
issue costs. The cash flows provided by operating and financing activities
and used in investing activities resulted in a net cash decrease of $2.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
Capital Expenditures and Commitments
Capital projects to increase operating efficiency and flexibility and to
expand production capacity and product quality resulted in expenditures of
$8.1 million in the first nine months of 2001. This was $0.4 million higher
than the level of capital expenditures in the comparable period in 2000 due
to the timing of capital projects. Commitments for capital expenditures at
September
- 13 -
30, 2001 totaled $3.4 million. Management expects additional capital
authorizations to be committed during the remainder of the year and that
capital expenditures for 2001 will approximate $14 million, primarily due to
expenditures for cost reductions and additional machining capacity at
certain operations. Capital expenditures related to environmental projects
have not been significant in the past and are not expected to be significant
in the foreseeable future.
In October 1998, Gardner Denver's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 1,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be
used for general corporate purposes. Approximately 200,000 shares remain
available for repurchase under this program. The Company also established a
Stock Repurchase Program for its executive officers to provide a means for
them to sell Gardner Denver common stock and obtain sufficient funds to meet
alternative minimum tax obligations which arise from the exercise of
incentive stock options. As of September 30, 2001, a total of 1,572,542
shares have been repurchased at a cost of $22.8 million under both
repurchase programs. During the first nine months of 2001, the Company
accepted shares of its common stock, valued at $0.1 million, which were
tendered for the exercise of stock options.
Liquidity
On September 10, 2001, the Company borrowed $50 million under an Interim
Credit Agreement, which was substantially used to complete the Hoffman
acquisition. The Interim Credit Agreement expires in March 2002 and
management expects it to be refinanced at, or prior to, maturity with
longer-term financing.
The Company also has a revolving line of credit agreement with an aggregate
$125 million borrowing capacity (the "Credit Line") and an unsecured senior
note agreement. Effective September 10, 2001, these agreements were amended
to allow for the Interim Credit Agreement mentioned above. On September 30,
2001, the Credit Line had an outstanding balance of approximately $91
million, leaving $34 million available for future use. The Credit Line
requires no principal payments during the term of the agreement, which
expires in January 2003.
The Company's borrowing arrangements are generally unsecured and permit
certain investments and dividend payments. There are no material
restrictions on the Company as a result of these arrangements, other than
customary covenants regarding certain earnings, liquidity, and capital
ratios.
Management currently expects that the Company's future cash flows will be
sufficient to fund the scheduled debt service under existing credit
facilities and provide required resources for working capital and capital
investments.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 ("SFAS 141"), "Business
Combinations", and No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that all business combinations be accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting and requires separate
- 14 -
recognition of intangible assets that meet certain criteria. This statement
applies to all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. The
adoption of SFAS 141 did not have a significant impact on the Company's
financial statements.
SFAS 142 requires that an intangible asset that is acquired shall be
initially recognized and measured based on its fair value. This statement
also provides that goodwill should not be amortized, but shall be tested for
impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential
impairment, through a comparison of fair value to its carrying amount. SFAS
No. 142 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2001.
As a result of this new standard, the Company will continue to amortize
goodwill which existed prior to June 30, 2001, through the remainder of
2001, at which time amortization will cease and a transitional impairment
test will be performed. The Company is currently reviewing the new standard
and evaluating the impact on its future financial condition, results of
operations, and accounting policies and practices. Amortization of goodwill
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, totaled $3.3 million.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" and in October 2001, issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." These standards are
effective on January 1, 2003 and January 1, 2002, respectively. The Company
is currently reviewing these standards and evaluating their impact on its
future financial condition, results of operations, and accounting policies
and practices.
