“We are pleased to report strong revenue growth and enhanced margins in the second quarter, building on the momentum we established over the past several quarters,” said Scott Rowe, Flowserve’s president and chief executive officer. “The improved operating environment, combined with our internal process changes, has Flowserve delivering at a much higher level. My confidence around our operational execution continues to grow, which has led us to increase our full year guidance range for the second time this year.”

We fully expect that the strong aftermarket and MRO spending environment will continue at least into next year.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods, providing investors with a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, planning and compensation decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
