  • Flowserve expects fourth quarter 2022 bookings of $1.1 billion, revenues of approximately $1.0 billion and Adjusted EPS[1] of 59 to 63 cents
  • Initiates 2023 guidance metrics, excluding contribution from Velan acquisition which was announced separately today
  • Expects 2023 revenue growth of 9% to 11% and Reported and Adjusted EPS[1] of $1.40 to $1.65 and $1.50 to $1.75, respectively
  • Company to host Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 earnings call on February 22, 2023

Flowserve Corporation (NYSE: FLS), a leading provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, today announced preliminary fourth quarter 2022 financial results and initiated its 2023 guidance metrics. The company expects to report its full results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022 the afternoon of Tuesday, February 21, 2023.

2022 Fourth Quarter Preliminary Preview

Based on its preliminary review, Flowserve anticipates fourth quarter 2022 revenues of approximately $1 billion, representing an increase of approximately 13 percent compared to the prior year. With solid margin performance, fourth quarter 2022 Reported and Adjusted operating income is anticipated between $100 to $110 million, producing operating margins above 10 percent. Including a discrete tax benefit, Reported EPS is anticipated at $0.88 to $0.92 per share, and Adjusted EPS[1] is expected to range from $0.59 to $0.63 per share, also benefitting from a low double-digit Adjusted tax rate and calculated using approximately 131.6 million fully diluted shares.

Bookings for the 2022 fourth quarter are expected at $1.1 billion, or an increase of 14 percent year-over-year. Including this expected fourth quarter level, bookings for the full year 2022 would be $4.4 billion. With anticipated full year 2022 revenues of approximately $3.6 billion, last year’s book-to-bill would equal 1.2 times. As a result, total backlog at December 31, 2022 is expected at approximately $2.7 billion, which would represent an increase of over 30 percent as compared to year end 2021.

“Our preliminary fourth quarter results create the foundation for the solid revenue and earnings growth that we anticipate in 2023, and we are well-positioned to convert on our strong backlog with our improved operational performance,” said Scott Rowe, Flowserve’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered another quarter of robust bookings, driven by our successful implementation of our 3D growth strategy, which will be further enhanced with the expected complementary acquisition of Velan later this year.”

Flowserve also ended the year with approximately $435 million of cash and cash equivalents, an increase of approximately $80 million compared to the company’s balance at September 30, 2022. There were no borrowings under its revolving credit facility at year end.

2023 Guidance

Flowserve today also provided its stand-alone Reported and Adjusted EPS guidance for 2023, as well as certain other financial metrics, as shown in the table below.

 

2023 Target Range

Revenue Growth

Up 9.0% to 11.0%

This outlook excludes any contribution from the expected acquisition of Velan Inc., which was announced separately today. Additionally, Flowserve’s 2023 Adjusted EPS target range also excludes expected adjusted items including expected realignment charges of approximately $20 million, as well as the potential impact of below-the-line foreign currency effects and certain other discrete items which may arise during the course of the year.

Amy Schwetz, Flowserve’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer said, “With a beginning backlog up over 30 percent year-over-year and continued end market strength, we are confident in our ability to deliver strong revenue growth in 2023. Furthermore, our improved operational cadence, effective pricing actions and ongoing cost reduction efforts are expected to drive year-over-year Adjusted margin improvement and Adjusted EPS growth.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Results and Conference Call

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. 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.
