Excluding sales, Flowserve provides guidance only on a non-GAAP basis due to the inherent and increasing difficulty and unreasonable effort required to forecast certain amounts that would be included in GAAP earnings. This includes, but is not limited to, items such as foreign currency fluctuations, realignment expenses, impairments, and discrete tax events. As a result, we have not provided a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures for these forward-looking non-GAAP measures.

Authorized Dividend:

Flowserve’s Board of Directors authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share on the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. The dividend is payable on April 11, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 28, 2025. While Flowserve currently intends to pay regular quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, any future dividends, at this $0.21 per share rate or otherwise, will be reviewed individually and declared by the Board at its discretion.

Webcast and Conference Call Instructions:

Flowserve will host its conference call to discuss fourth quarter results on Wednesday, February 19, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The call can be accessed by shareholders and other interested parties on Flowserve’s Investors page.

²Adjusted gross margin is calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit by sales. Adjusted gross profit is derived by excluding the adjusted items.

³Adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by sales. Adjusted operating income is derived by excluding the adjusted items.

⁴Adjusted 2025 EPS includes expected 16 cent contribution from MOGAS operations (inclusive of $7 million cost synergy benefit) and excludes potential realignment expenses, below-the-line foreign currency effects, and certain other discrete items which may arise during the year and utilizes prevailing FX rates and approximately 132 million fully diluted shares.

⁵Adjusted 2024 EPS excludes realignment expenses, the impact from other specific discrete and below-the-line foreign currency effects and utilizes the then-applicable FX rates and approximately 132 million fully diluted shares.

⁶Organic is defined as the change in sales, as defined by U.S. GAAP, excluding the impacts of currency translation and acquisitions. The impact of currency translation is calculated by translating current year results on a monthly basis at prior year exchange rates for the same period.

Safe Harbor Statement: This news release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Words or phrases such as, "may," "should," "expects," "could," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "estimates," "believes," "forecasts," "predicts" or other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which include, without limitation, earnings forecasts, statements relating to our business strategy and statements of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies and anticipated developments concerning our industry, business, operations and financial performance and condition.

The forward-looking statements included in this news release are based on our current expectations, projections, estimates and assumptions. These statements are only predictions, not guarantees. Such forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. These risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from what is forecast in such forward-looking statements, and include, without limitation, the following: global supply chain disruptions and the current inflationary environment could adversely affect the efficiency of our manufacturing and increase the cost of providing our products to customers; a portion of our bookings may not lead to completed sales, and our ability to convert bookings into revenues at acceptable profit margins; changes in global economic conditions and the potential for unexpected cancellations or delays of customer orders in our reported backlog; our dependence on our customers’ ability to make required capital investment and maintenance expenditures; if we are not able to successfully execute and realize the expected financial benefits from any restructuring and realignment initiatives, our business could be adversely affected; the substantial dependence of our sales on the success of the oil and gas, chemical, power generation and water management industries; the adverse impact of volatile raw materials prices on our products and operating margins; economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations, including military actions, trade embargoes, epidemics or pandemics or changes to tariffs or trade agreements that could affect customer markets, particularly North African, Latin American, Asian and Middle Eastern markets and global oil and gas producers, and non-compliance with U.S. export/re-export control, foreign corrupt practice laws, economic sanctions and import laws and regulations; the impact of public health emergencies, such as outbreaks of epidemics, pandemics, and contagious diseases, on our business and operations; increased aging and slower collection of receivables, particularly in Latin America and other emerging markets; our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, including in hyperinflationary countries such as Argentina; potential adverse consequences resulting from litigation to which we are a party, such as litigation involving asbestos-containing material claims; expectations regarding acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses; the potential adverse impact of an impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets; our dependence upon third-party suppliers whose failure to perform timely could adversely affect our business operations; the highly competitive nature of the markets in which we operate; if we are not able to maintain our competitive position by successfully developing and introducing new products and technology, including artificial intelligence and machine learning; environmental compliance costs and liabilities; potential work stoppages and other labor matters; access to public and private sources of debt financing; our inability to protect our intellectual property in the United States, as well as in foreign countries; obligations under our defined benefit pension plans; our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud; the recording of increased deferred tax asset valuation allowances in the future or the impact of tax law changes on such deferred tax assets could affect our operating results; our information technology infrastructure could be subject to service interruptions, data corruption, cyber-based attacks or network security breaches, which could disrupt our business operations and result in the loss of critical and confidential information; ineffective internal controls could impact the accuracy and timely reporting of our business and financial results; and other factors described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All forward-looking statements included in this news release are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

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.
