“In the fourth quarter of 2021, Flowserve delivered our highest level of quarterly bookings since the beginning of the pandemic. We expect this momentum to continue based on the current market environment and believe Flowserve is well-positioned to capture the building growth opportunities that we see across our end markets,” said Scott Rowe, Flowserve’s president and chief executive officer. “While our fourth quarter results and operations were impacted by the Omicron variant, including additional supply chain and logistics disruptions and labor availability headwinds that resulted in incremental revenue deferral and temporary margin deterioration, we ended the year with a solid $2 billion backlog, supporting our 2022 growth expectations.”

Rowe concluded, “In addition to improved conditions in our traditional end-markets, Flowserve is setting the stage to accelerate new growth opportunities through our new 3D strategy, focused on Diversification, Decarbonization and Digitization. With this focus, we are targeting opportunities in less cyclical markets with higher growth potential, such as water, specialty chemical and general industries, while supporting our customers’ aspirations to decarbonize, lower operating costs and maximize energy efficiency. We are confident that our growth strategy, coupled with our improved cost structure and operating platform, provides Flowserve with a strong foundation to deliver value for all of our stakeholders.”

¹ See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures table for detailed reconciliation of reported results to adjusted measures.

² Adjusted gross and operating margins are calculated by dividing adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income, respectively, by revenues. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income are derived by excluding the adjusted items. See reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures table for detailed reconciliation.

³ Adjusted 2022 EPS excludes realignment expenses, the impact from other specific discrete items and below-the-line foreign currency effects and utilizes year-end 2021 FX rates and approximately 131 million fully diluted shares.

^_ FX impact is calculated by comparing the difference between the actual average FX rates of 2021 and the year-end 2021 spot rates both as applied to our 2022 expectations, divided by the number of shares expected for 2022.

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. Throughout our materials we refer to non-GAAP measures as “Adjusted.” 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.
