PART I
ITEM 1. | NOTES TO |
(Amounts in tables in thousands of dollars)
NOTE A1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to FormForm 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Gorman-Rupp Company (the “Company” or “Gorman-Rupp”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain amounts for 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 presentation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.2017. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015,2016, from which related information herein has been derived.
NOTE B2 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined either to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) – Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”, which provides additional guidance on the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs in the income statement and on the components eligible for capitalization. The amendments in this ASU require that an employer report the service cost component of the net periodic benefit costs in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period. Thenon-service-cost components of net periodic benefit costs are to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost components and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The ASU also allows for the capitalization of the service cost components, when applicable (i.e., as a cost of internally manufactured inventory or a self-constructed asset). The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently assessing the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”, which eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The ASU is effective for impairment tests performed in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied on a prospective basis and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU2016-02,“Leases “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with a term of more than one year. Accounting by lessors will remain similar to existing generally accepted accounting principles.U.S. GAAP. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of ASU2016-02 to will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” which amended accounting guidance related to the presentation of deferred tax liabilities and assets. The amended guidance requires that all deferred tax liabilities and assets be classifiedstatements as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 during the quarter ended December 31, 2015. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330 ),”which revises the measurement of inventory at the lower of cost or market. Currently, market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. In accordance with ASU 2015-11, an entity will measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value which is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendment doesits future minimum lease commitments are not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first out (LIFO). The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.material.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU2014-09, “Revenue “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Subsequent accounting standards updates have been issued, which amend and/or clarify the application of ASU2014-09.The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016; however, in July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of executing its implementation plan and has determined it will use the modified retrospective method as its transition method in the adoption of the new revenue standard. The Company has identified all material revenue streams and is currently does not expectevaluating its significant contracts, accumulating information that will be necessary for implementation disclosures and assessing the impact the adoption of ASU2014-09 towill have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – CONTINUED
The Company is in the process of identifying and implementing changes to processes and controls to meet the ASU’s updated reporting and discosure requirements and continues to update its assessment of the impact of the ASU. The Company will continue its evaluation of this new guidance through the date of adoption.
NOTE C3 - INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The costs for approximately 72%70% of inventories at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 73%72% of inventories at December 31, 20152016 are determined using thelast-in,first-out (LIFO) method, with the remainder determined using thefirst-in,first-out (FIFO) method applied on a consistent basis. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
PART I – CONTINUED
NOTE C - INVENTORIES – CONTINUED
Interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimate of expectedyear-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the finalyear-end LIFO inventory valuation.
The major components of inventories are as follows (net of LIFO reserves of $60.0$59.2 million and $59.1$58.4 million at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively):

Excluding thenon-cash pension settlement charge, the 120 basis point increase in gross margin was due principally to favorable sales mix. Offsetting the sales mix benefit was a 60 basis point increase in healthcare expenses and an increase in overhead expenses as a percent of sales driven by lower leverage due to sales volume decreases.
Selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) was $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2017 and 15.3% of net sales, compared to $13.7 million and 13.6% of net sales for the same period in 2016.

PART I – CONTINUED
The decrease in backlog from last year is due primarily to approximately $25.0 million of shipments relatedMarch 31, 2016. In addition to the impact of PCCP, project in the last twelve months along withbacklog has been impacted by lower orders in the petroleum and agriculture markets. Incoming orders during the second quarter of 2016 remained steady as compared to the first quarter of 2016 as orders increased in the municipal and construction markets while orders decreased in the fire protection and OEM markets. Approximately $2.7 million of orders related to the PCCP project remain in the June 30, 2016 backlog total and are expected to ship by the end of the third quarter of 2016. When completed, this flood control project will be one of the largest such projects in the world.
On July 28, 2016,April 27, 2017, the Board of Directors ofauthorized the Company declaredpayment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.105$0.115 per share, onrepresenting the common stock of the Company, payable September 9, 2016, to shareholders of record August 15, 2016. This will mark the 266th269th consecutive quarterly dividend to be paid by The Gorman-Ruppthe Company. During 2015, the Company again paid increased dividends and thereby attained its forty-third consecutive year of increased dividends. These consecutive years place Gorman-Rupp in the top 50 of all U.S. public companies with respect to number of consecutive years of increased dividend payments. The dividend yield at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was 1.5%.
The Company currently expects to continue its exceptional history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
Outlook
Domestic and foreign uncertainties, including turmoil related to the production and price of oil extensive foreign currency translation impacts and low commodity prices continuedcontinue to make 2017 challenging. In addition, with the first halfcompletion of 2016 challenging. The second halfthe PCCP project, comparisons of most years is seasonally slower, and the remainder ofrevenue with 2016 will compareneed to a second halfbe appropriately adjusted during 2017. We are encouraged by the new federal administration’s attention to increased spending for water and wastewater infrastructure, military growth and renewed pipeline projects. Along with the administration’s focus on U.S. manufacturing, these initiatives could have positive impacts for Gorman-Rupp as the majority of 2015our products continue to be manufactured domestically. We are also hopeful that included substantial PCCP sales. As periods of economic and business volatility persist,capital spending in the oil & gas industries will start to rebound as oil prices begin to stabilize. The Company remains focused on operational efficiencies and will continue to manage expenses closely asclosely. Our underlying fundamentals remain strong and we do not yet see stable sales growth occurring in the near future. Our strong balance sheet provides us with the flexibility to continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities and new product development that will help add value to our operations over the longer-term
Generally we believe that the Company isremain well positioned to grow organically at a reasonably comparable sales pace and operating margin over the long term by expanding our customer base, both domestically and globally, and through new product offerings. We expect that the increasing need for water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation within the United States, and similar needs internationally, including in emerging economies, along with increasing demand for pumps and pump systems for industrial and agricultural applications, will provide continuing growth opportunities for Gorman-Rupp in the future.

Domestic sales decreased 7.7% or $5.3 million while international sales decreased 6.7% or $2.3 million compared to the same period in 2015. Of the total decrease in net sales in the second quarter, approximately $0.4 million was due to unfavorable foreign currency translation. Excluding sales from the New Orleans Permanent Canal Closures & Pumps (“PCCP”) project of $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $11.7 million for the same period in 2015, net sales during the quarter increased 1.7%.
Sales in the second quarter of 2016 in our larger water markets decreased 12.0% or $9.2 million. Sales in the municipal market decreased $4.9 million driven by reduced PCCP project sales noted above, offset in part by increased shipments attributable to other Gulf Coast flood control projects and other wastewater applications. Sales in the fire protection market decreased $3.2 million largely due to reduced international shipments, and sales in the agriculture market decreased $2.1 million principally due to wet weather conditions in most locations domestically and lower farm income. However, sales in the construction market increased $1.6 million driven primarily by domestic sales of engine-driven pump systems and pumps for applications independent of oil and gas.
PART I – CONTINUED
Sales increased 5.6% or $1.6 million in non-water markets during the second quarter. The net increase included increased sales of $2.6 million in the OEM market related to power generation equipment and services, as well as increased sales of fuel-handling pumps for military applications.

Gross Margin | 24.1 | % | 23.2 | % |
The increase in gross margin in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015 was principally due to lower cost of material driven by sales mix changes. In addition, labor decreased 80 basis points due principally to lower pension expense because of a non-cash pension settlement charge of 100 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 which did not recur in the second quarter of 2016. Partially offsetting these favorable variances were higher warranty services and depreciation expenses of approximately 42 and 35 basis points, respectively.

The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015 was due principally to lower sales volume and increased professional services of approximately 31 basis points related largely to costs incurred in connection with recently acquired businesses.

The decrease in the effective tax rate between the two periods is due primarily to a research and development tax credit being in effect in the second quarter of 2016 but not in the second quarter of 2015, changes in the estimated domestic production activities deduction and the impact of more income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates.

Net sales | $ | 196,522 | $ | 203,125 | $ | (6,603 | ) | (3.3 | )% |
Domestic sales decreased 2.1% or $2.8 million and international sales decreased 5.6% or $3.8 million. Of the total decrease in net sales in the first half of 2016, approximately $0.9 million was due to unfavorable foreign currency translation. Excluding sales from the PCCP project of $7.9 million in the first half of 2016 and $20.5 million in the first half of 2015, net sales for the first half increased 3.3%.
Sales in the first half of 2016 in our larger water markets decreased 5.7% or $8.4 million. Sales in the municipal market decreased $3.7 million driven by reduced PCCP project sales noted above, offset in part by increased shipments attributable to other Gulf Coast flood control projects and other wastewater applications. Sales decreased $1.9 million in the fire protection market due to a decline in international shipments, and sales in the agriculture market decreased $1.3 million principally due to wet weather conditions in most locations domestically and lower farm income.
Sales increased 3.1% or $1.8 million in non-water markets. The net increase was primarily due to increased sales of $3.4 million in the OEM market related to power generation equipment and services, and increased sales of $1.3 million in the petroleum market due to mid-stream transmission of refined petrochemical products. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $2.9 million in the industrial market largely attributable to the downturn in oil and gas production and the related decline in the offloading of oil from barges due to excess inventory.

Gross Margin | 23.5 | % | 23.7 | % |
The decrease in gross margin in the first half of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 was principally driven by sales mix changes and higher warranty services and depreciation expenses of approximately 24 and 22 basis points, respectively. Partially offsetting these unfavorable variances was lower labor expense of approximately 71 basis points because of a non-cash pension settlement charge of 40 basis points in the first half of 2015 which did not recur in the same period in 2016 and lower headcount from normal employee retirements.

Domestic sales, excluding PCCP, decreased 5.8% or $3.6 million while international sales increased 2.6% or $0.8 million compared to the same period in 2016.
Sales in our larger water markets, excluding PCCP, decreased 4.0% or $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Sales in the construction market increased $1.1 million due primarily to sales for rental market customers and sales of repair parts increased $1.0 million. Sales in the municipal market, excluding PCCP, decreased $1.9 million driven by decreased shipments attributable to other flood control projects and sales in the fire protection market decreased $1.6 million principally due to lower domestic sales. Also, sales in the agriculture market decreased $1.3 million due to wet weather conditions in some key domestic locations and low farm income.
Sales decreased 0.6% or $0.2 million innon-water markets during the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Sales in the industrial market increased $1.7 million driven by an increase in oil and gas drilling activity and sales in the OEM market increased $0.8 million driven by infrastructure spending relating to gas production. These increases were offset by decreased shipments of $2.6 million in the petroleum market driven by challenging market conditions.

Excluding thenon-cash pension settlement charge, the 120 basis point increase in gross margin was due principally to favorable sales mix. Offsetting the sales mix benefit was a 60 basis point increase in healthcare expenses and an increase in overhead expenses as a percent of sales driven by lower leverage due to sales volume decreases.
