BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Flowserve Corporation is a world leading manufacturer and aftermarket service provider of comprehensive flow control systems. Under the name of a predecessor entity, we were incorporated in the State of New York on May 1, 1912. Flowserve Corporation as it exists today was created in 1997 through the merger of two leading fluid motion and control companies - BW/IP and Durco International. Over the years, we have evolved through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, and our 220-year history of Flowserve heritage brands serves as the foundation for the breadth and depth of our products and services today. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references to "Flowserve," "the Company" and such words as "we," "our" and "us" include Flowserve Corporation and its subsidiaries.
We develop and manufacture precision-engineered flow control equipment integral to the movement, control and protection of the flow of materials in our customers’ critical processes. Our product portfolio of pumps, valves, seals, automation and aftermarket services supports global infrastructure industries, including oil and gas, chemical, power generation and water management, as well as certain general industrial markets where our products and services add value. Through our manufacturing platform and global network of Quick Response Centers ("QRCs"), we offer a broad array of aftermarket equipment services, such as installation, advanced diagnostics, repair and retrofitting.
We sell our products and services to more than 10,000 companies, including some of the world’s leading engineering, procurement and construction firms ("EPC"), original equipment manufacturers, distributors and end users. Our products and services are used in several distinct industries having a broad geographic reach. Our bookings mix by industry in 2012 and 2011 consisted of:
(1)
General industries includes mining and ore processing, pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, food and beverage and other smaller applications, as well as sales to distributors whose end customers typically operate in the industries we primarily serve.
The breakdown of the geographic regions to which our sales were shipped in 2012 and 2011 were as follows:
We have pursued a strategy of industry diversity and geographic breadth to mitigate the impact on our business of normal economic downturns in any one of the industries or in any particular part of the world we serve. For events that may occur and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, refer to "

ITEM 1A - RISK FACTORS
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
Any of the events discussed as risk factors below may occur. If they do, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. While we believe all known material risks are disclosed, additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations. Because of these risk factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
Our business depends on the levels of capital investment and maintenance expenditures by our customers, which in turn are affected by numerous factors, including the state of domestic and global economies, global energy demand, the cyclical nature of their markets, their liquidity and the condition of global credit and capital markets.
Demand for most of our products and services depends on the level of new capital investment and planned maintenance expenditures by our customers. The level of capital expenditures by our customers depends, in turn, on general economic conditions, availability of credit, economic conditions within their respective industries and expectations of future market behavior. Additionally, volatility in commodity prices can negatively affect the level of these activities and can result in postponement of capital spending decisions or the delay or cancellation of existing orders. The ability of our customers to finance capital investment
and maintenance may also be affected by factors independent of the conditions in their industry, such as the condition of global credit and capital markets.
The businesses of many of our customers, particularly oil and gas companies, chemical companies and general industrial companies, are to varying degrees cyclical and have experienced periodic downturns. Our customers in these industries, particularly those whose demand for our products and services is primarily profit-driven, historically have tended to delay large capital projects, including expensive maintenance and upgrades, during economic downturns. For example, our chemical customers generally tend to reduce their spending on capital investments and operate their facilities at lower levels in a soft economic environment, which reduces demand for our products and services. Additionally, fluctuating energy demand forecasts and lingering uncertainty concerning commodity pricing can cause our customers to be more conservative in their capital planning, which may reduce demand for our products and services. Reduced demand for our products and services could result in the delay or cancellation of existing orders or lead to excess manufacturing capacity, which unfavorably impacts our absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. This reduced demand may also erode average selling prices in our industry. Any of these results could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Additionally, some of our customers may delay capital investment and maintenance even during favorable conditions in their industries or markets. Despite these favorable conditions, the general health of global credit and capital markets and our customers' ability to access such markets may impact investments in large capital projects, including necessary maintenance and upgrades. In addition, the liquidity and financial position of our customers could impact capital investment decisions and their ability to pay in full and/or on a timely basis. Any of these factors, whether individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our customers and, in turn, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Volatility in commodity prices, effects from credit and capital market disruptions and a sluggish global economic recovery could prompt customers to delay or cancel existing orders, which could adversely affect the viability of our backlog and could impede our ability to realize revenues on our backlog.
Our backlog represents the value of uncompleted customer orders. While we cannot be certain that reported backlog will be indicative of future results, our ability to accurately value our backlog can be adversely affected by numerous factors, including the health of our customers' businesses and their access to capital, volatility in commodity prices (e.g., copper, nickel, stainless steel) and economic uncertainty. While we attempt to mitigate the financial consequences of order delays and cancellations through contractual provisions and other means, if we were to experience a significant increase in order delays or cancellations that can result from the aforementioned economic conditions or other factors beyond our control, it could impede or delay our ability to realize anticipated revenues on our backlog. Such a loss of anticipated revenues could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may be unable to deliver our sizeable backlog on time, which could affect our revenues, future sales and profitability and our relationships with customers.
At December 31, 2012, backlog was $2.6 billion. In 2013, our ability to meet customer delivery schedules for backlog is dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, sufficient manufacturing plant capacity, adequate supply channel access to the raw materials and other inventory required for production, an adequately trained and capable workforce, project engineering expertise for certain large projects and appropriate planning and scheduling of manufacturing resources. Many of the contracts we enter into with our customers require long manufacturing lead times and contain penalty clauses related to on-time delivery. Failure to deliver in accordance with customer expectations could subject us to financial penalties, may result in damage to existing customer relationships and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We sell our products in highly competitive markets, which results in pressure on our profit margins and limits our ability to maintain or increase the market share of our products.
The markets for our products and services are geographically diverse and highly competitive. We compete against large and well-established national and global companies, as well as regional and local companies, low-cost replicators of spare parts and in-house maintenance departments of our end-user customers. We compete based on price, technical expertise, timeliness of delivery, contractual terms, previous installation history and reputation for quality and reliability. Competitive environments in slow-growth industries and for original equipment orders have been inherently more influenced by pricing and domestic and global economic conditions during 2012, and current economic forecasts suggest that the competitive influence of pricing has broadened. Additionally, some of our customers have been attempting to reduce the number of vendors from which they purchase in order to reduce the size and diversity of their supply chain. To remain competitive, we must invest in manufacturing, marketing, customer service and support and our distribution networks. No assurances can be made that we will have sufficient resources to continue
to make the investment required to maintain or increase our market share or that our investments will be successful. If we do not compete successfully, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
If we are unable to obtain raw materials at favorable prices, our operating margins and results of operations may be adversely affected.
We purchase substantially all electric power and other raw materials we use in the manufacturing of our products from outside sources. The costs of these raw materials have been volatile historically and are influenced by factors that are outside our control. In recent years, the prices for energy, metal alloys, nickel and certain other of our raw materials have been volatile. While we strive to offset our increased costs through supply chain management, contractual provisions and our CIP initiative, where gains are achieved in operational efficiencies, our operating margins and results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected if we are unable to pass increases in the costs of our raw materials on to our customers or operational efficiencies are not achieved.
Economic, political and other risks associated with international operations could adversely affect our business.
A substantial portion of our operations is conducted and located outside the U.S. We have manufacturing, sales or service facilities in more than 50 countries and sell to customers in over 90 countries, in addition to the U.S. Moreover, we primarily outsource certain of our manufacturing and engineering functions to, and source our raw materials and components from, China, Eastern Europe, India, Latin America and Mexico. Accordingly, our business and results of operations are subject to risks associated with doing business internationally, including:
•
instability in a specific country's or region's political or economic conditions, particularly economic conditions in Europe, and political conditions in the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America and other emerging markets;
•
trade protection measures, such as tariff increases, and import and export licensing and control requirements;
•
potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws or tax examinations;
•
difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations;
•
difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some foreign legal systems;
•
differing and, in some cases, more stringent labor regulations;
•
potentially negative consequences from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
•
partial or total expropriation;
•
differing protection of intellectual property;
•
inability to repatriate income or capital; and
•
difficulty in administering and enforcing corporate policies, which may be different than the customary business practices of local cultures.
For example, political unrest or work stoppages could negatively impact the demand for our products from customers in affected countries and other customers, such as U.S. oil refineries, that could be affected by the resulting disruption in the supply of crude oil. Similarly, military conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa and our customers' potential exposures to sovereign and non-sovereign debt in Europe could soften the level of capital investment and demand for our products and services.
In order to manage our day-to-day operations, we must overcome cultural and language barriers and assimilate different business practices. In addition, we are required to create compensation programs, employment policies and other administrative programs that comply with laws of multiple countries. We also must communicate and monitor standards and directives across our global network. Our failure to successfully manage our geographically diverse operations could impair our ability to react quickly to changing business and market conditions and to enforce compliance with standards and procedures.
Our future success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. Any of these factors could, however, materially adversely affect our international operations and, consequently, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our international operations and foreign subsidiaries are subject to a variety of complex and continually changing laws and regulations.
Due to the international scope of our operations, the system of laws and regulations to which we are subject is complex and includes, without limitation, regulations issued by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control and various foreign governmental agencies, including applicable export controls, customs, currency exchange control and transfer pricing regulations, as applicable. No assurances can be made that we will continue to be found to be operating in compliance with, or be able to detect violations of, any such laws or regulations. In addition, we cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.
Effective December 31, 2011, our foreign subsidiaries completed the withdrawal from autonomously conducting business, under their own local authority, with customers in countries designated by the U.S. State Department as state sponsors of terrorism, including Iran, Syria and Sudan. Our foreign subsidiaries' remaining activities in these countries are limited to government-mandated inspections, which we plan to conclude as soon as possible.
Our international operations expose us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
A significant portion of our revenue and certain of our costs, assets and liabilities, are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The primary currencies to which we have exposure are the Euro, British pound, Mexican peso, Brazilian real, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Singapore dollar, Argentine peso, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Chinese yuan, Colombian peso, Chilean peso and South African rand. Certain of the foreign currencies to which we have exposure, such as the Venezuelan bolivar, have undergone significant devaluation in the past, which can reduce the value of our local monetary assets, reduce the U.S. dollar value of our local cash flow, generate local currency losses that may impact our ability to pay future dividends from our subsidiary to the parent company and potentially reduce the U.S. dollar value of future local net income. Although we enter into forward exchange contracts to economically hedge some of our risks associated with transactions denominated in certain foreign currencies, no assurances can be made that exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We could be adversely affected by violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws and regulations.
The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and similar anti-bribery laws and regulations in other jurisdictions, such as the UK Bribery Act, generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or securing an improper advantage. Because we operate in many parts of the world and sell to industries that have experienced corruption to some degree, our policies mandate compliance with applicable anti-bribery laws worldwide. If we are found to be in violation of the FCPA or other similar anti-bribery laws or regulations, whether due to our or others' actions or inadvertence, we could be subject to civil and criminal penalties or other sanctions that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, actual or alleged violations could damage our reputation or ability to do business.
Terrorist acts, conflicts and wars may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and may adversely affect the market for our common stock.
As a global company with a large international footprint, we are subject to increased risk of damage or disruption to us, our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors, resellers or customers due to terrorist acts, conflicts and wars, wherever located around the world. The potential for future attacks, the national and international responses to attacks or perceived threats to national security, and other actual or potential conflicts or wars, such as the Israeli-Hamas conflict and ongoing military operations in the Middle East at large, have created many economic and political uncertainties. In addition, as a global company with headquarters and significant operations located in the U.S., actions against or by the U.S. may impact our business or employees. Although it is impossible to predict the occurrences or consequences of any such events, they could result in a decrease in demand for our products, make it difficult or impossible to deliver products to our customers or to receive components from our suppliers, create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain and pose risks to our employees, resulting in the need to impose travel restrictions, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Environmental compliance costs and liabilities could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our operations and properties are subject to regulation under environmental laws, which can impose substantial sanctions for violations. We must conform our operations to applicable regulatory requirements and adapt to changes in such requirements in all countries in which we operate.
We use hazardous substances and generate hazardous wastes in many of our manufacturing and foundry operations. Most of our current and former properties are or have been used for industrial purposes, and some may require clean-up of historical contamination. We are currently conducting investigation and/or remediation activities at a number of locations where we have known environmental concerns. In addition, we have been identified as one of many PRPs at five Superfund sites. The projected cost of remediation at these sites, as well as our alleged "fair share" allocation, while not anticipated to be material, has been reserved. However, until all studies have been completed and the parties have either negotiated an amicable resolution or the matter has been judicially resolved, some degree of uncertainty remains.
We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, operating and capital costs to comply with environmental requirements. In addition, new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing requirements, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up requirements could require us to incur costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities. Moreover, environmental and sustainability initiatives, practices, rules and regulations are under increasing scrutiny of both governmental and non-governmental bodies, which can cause rapid change in operational practices, standards and expectations and, in turn, increase our compliance costs. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are party to asbestos-containing product litigation that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are a defendant in a substantial number of lawsuits that seek to recover damages for personal injury allegedly resulting from exposure to asbestos-containing products formerly manufactured and/or distributed by us. Such products were used as internal components of process equipment, and we do not believe that there was any significant emission of asbestos-containing fibers during the use of this equipment. Although we are defending these allegations vigorously and believe that a high percentage of these lawsuits are covered by insurance or indemnities from other companies, there can be no assurance that we will prevail or that payments made by insurance or such other companies would be adequate. Unfavorable rulings, judgments or settlement terms could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our business may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters.
As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately 17,000 employees, of which approximately 6,000 were located in the U.S. Approximately 7% of our U.S. employees are represented by unions. We also have unionized employees or employee work councils in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the U.K. No unionized facility produces more than 10% of our revenues. Although we believe that our relations with our employees are strong and we have not experienced any material strikes or work stoppages recently, no assurances can be made that we will not in the future experience these and other types of conflicts with labor unions, works councils, other groups representing employees or our employees generally, or that any future negotiations with our labor unions will not result in significant increases in our cost of labor.
Inability to protect our intellectual property could negatively affect our competitive position.
We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, confidentiality provisions and licensing arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary rights. We cannot guarantee, however, that the steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property will be adequate to prevent infringement of our rights or misappropriation of our technology. For example, effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in some of the foreign countries in which we operate. In addition, while we generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties to protect our intellectual property, such confidentiality agreements could be breached or otherwise may not provide meaningful protection for our trade secrets and know-how related to the design, manufacture or operation of our products. If it became necessary for us to resort to litigation to protect our intellectual property rights, any proceedings could be burdensome and costly, and we may not prevail. Further, adequate remedies may not be available in the event of an unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets and manufacturing expertise. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Significant changes in pension fund investment performance or assumptions changes may have a material effect on the valuation of our obligations under our defined benefit pension plans, the funded status of these plans and our pension expense.
We maintain defined benefit pension plans that are required to be funded in the U.S., India, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands and the U.K., and defined benefit plans that are not required to be funded in Austria, France, Germany and Sweden. Our pension liability is materially affected by the discount rate used to measure our pension obligations and, in the case of the plans that are required to be funded, the level of plan assets available to fund those obligations and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. A change in the discount rate can result in a significant increase or decrease in the valuation of pension obligations, affecting the reported status of our pension plans and our pension expense. Significant changes in investment performance or a change in the portfolio mix of invested assets can result in increases and decreases in the valuation of plan assets or in a change of the expected rate of return on plan assets. This impact may be particularly prevalent where we maintain significant concentrations of specified investments, such as the U.K. equity and fixed income securities in our non-U.S. defined benefit plans. Changes in the expected return on plan assets assumption can result in significant changes in our pension expense and future funding requirements.
We continually review our funding policy related to our U.S. pension plan in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. U.S. regulations have increased the minimum level of funding for U.S pension plans in prior years, which has at times required significant contributions to our pension plans. Contributions to our pension plans reduce the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, R&D efforts and other general corporate purposes.
We may incur material costs as a result of product liability and warranty claims, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may be exposed to product liability and warranty claims in the event that the use of one of our products results in, or is alleged to result in, bodily injury and/or property damage or our products actually or allegedly fail to perform as expected. While we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain product liability claims, we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against product liability claims. In addition, product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome. An unsuccessful defense of a product liability claim could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Even if we are successful in defending against a claim relating to our products, claims of this nature could cause our customers to lose confidence in our products and our company. Warranty claims are not generally covered by insurance, and we may incur significant warranty costs in the future for which we would not be reimbursed.
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.
We currently have significant net deferred tax assets resulting from tax credit carryforwards, net operating losses and other deductible temporary differences that are available to reduce taxable income in future periods. Based on our assessment of our deferred tax assets, we determined, based on projected future income and certain available tax planning strategies, that approximately $268 million of our deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized in the future, and no valuation allowance is currently required for this portion of our deferred tax assets. Should we determine in the future that these assets will not be realized we will be required to record an additional valuation allowance in connection with these deferred tax assets and our operating results would be adversely affected in the period such determination is made. In addition, tax law changes could negatively impact our deferred tax assets.
Our outstanding indebtedness and the restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness limit our operating and financial flexibility.
We are required to make scheduled repayments and, under certain events of default, mandatory repayments on our outstanding indebtedness, which may require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures, R&D efforts and other general corporate purposes, such as dividend payments and share repurchases, and could generally limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry.
In addition, the agreements governing our indebtedness impose certain operating and financial restrictions on us and somewhat limit management's discretion in operating our businesses. These agreements limit or restrict our ability, among other things, to: incur additional debt; pay dividends and make other distributions; prepay subordinated debt, make investments and other restricted payments; create liens; sell assets; and enter into transactions with affiliates.
We are also required to maintain certain debt ratings, comply with leverage and interest coverage financial covenants and deliver to our lenders audited annual and unaudited quarterly financial statements. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may not be able to continue to expand our market presence through acquisitions, and any future acquisitions may present unforeseen integration difficulties or costs.
Since 1997, we have expanded through a number of acquisitions, and we may pursue strategic acquisitions of businesses in the future. Our ability to implement this growth strategy will be limited by our ability to identify appropriate acquisition candidates, covenants in our credit agreement and other debt agreements and our financial resources, including available cash and borrowing capacity. Acquisitions may require additional debt financing, resulting in higher leverage and an increase in interest expense. In addition, acquisitions may require large one-time charges and can result in the incurrence of contingent liabilities, adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation charges, the amortization of identifiable purchased intangible assets or impairment of goodwill, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Should we acquire another business, the process of integrating acquired operations into our existing operations may create operating difficulties and may require significant financial and managerial resources that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development or expansion of existing operations. Some of the more common challenges associated with acquisitions that we may experience include:
•
loss of key employees or customers of the acquired company;
•
conforming the acquired company's standards, processes, procedures and controls, including accounting systems and controls, with our operations, which could cause deficiencies related to our internal control over financial reporting;
•
coordinating operations that are increased in scope, geographic diversity and complexity;
•
retooling and reprogramming of equipment;
•
hiring additional management and other critical personnel; and
•
the diversion of management's attention from our day-to-day operations.
Further, no guarantees can be made that we would realize the cost savings, synergies or revenue enhancements that we may anticipate from any acquisition, or that we will realize such benefits within the time frame that we expect. If we are not able to timely address the challenges associated with acquisitions and successfully integrate acquired businesses, or if our integrated product and service offerings fail to achieve market acceptance, our business could be adversely affected.

ITEM 2.
PROPERTIES
Our principal executive offices, including our global headquarters, are located at 5215 N. O'Connor Boulevard, Suite 2300, Irving, Texas 75039. Our global headquarters is a leased facility, which we began to occupy on January 1, 2004. In September 2011, we extended our original lease term an additional 10 years making the new termination date December 31, 2023. We have the option to renew the current lease for two additional five-year periods. We currently occupy 125,000 square feet at this facility.
Our major manufacturing facilities (those with 50,000 or more square feet of manufacturing capacity) operating at December 31, 2012 are presented in the table below. See "Item 1. Business" in this Annual Report for further information with respect to all of our manufacturing and operational facilities, including QRCs.
We own the majority of our manufacturing facilities, and those manufacturing facilities we do not own are leased. We also maintain a substantial network of U.S. and foreign service centers and sales offices, most of which are leased. Our various leased facilities are generally covered by leases with terms in excess of seven years, with individual lease terms generally varying based on the facilities’ primary usage. We believe we will be able to extend leases on our various facilities as necessary, as they expire.
We believe that our current facilities are adequate to meet the requirements of our present and foreseeable future operations. We continue to review our capacity requirements as part of our strategy to optimize our global manufacturing efficiency. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report for additional information regarding our operating lease obligations.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to the legal proceedings that are described in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report, and such disclosure is incorporated by reference into this Item 3. In addition to the foregoing, we and our subsidiaries are named defendants in certain other routine lawsuits incidental to our business and are involved from time to time as parties to governmental proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings involving us and our subsidiaries cannot be predicted with certainty, and the amount of any liability that could arise with respect to such lawsuits or other proceedings cannot be predicted accurately, management does not currently expect these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We have established reserves covering exposures relating to contingencies to the extent believed to be reasonably estimable and probable based on past experience and available facts.

Market Information and Dividends
Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "FLS." On February 12, 2013, our records showed 1,520 shareholders of record. The following table sets forth the range of high and low prices per share of our common stock as reported by the NYSE for the periods indicated.
PRICE RANGE OF FLOWSERVE COMMON STOCK
(Intraday High/Low Prices)
The table below presents declaration, record and payment dates, as well as the per share amounts, of dividends on our common stock during 2012 and 2011:
On February 20, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock from $0.32 per share to $0.36 per share payable beginning on April 13, 2012. On February 19, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the payment of dividends on our common stock from $0.36 per share to $0.42 per share payable quarterly beginning on April 12, 2013. Any subsequent dividends will be reviewed by our Board of Directors on a quarterly basis and declared at its discretion dependent on its assessment of our financial situation and business outlook at the applicable time. Our credit facilities contain covenants that could restrict our ability to declare and pay dividends on our common stock. See the discussion of our credit facilities under "Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources" of this Annual Report and in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report.
In February 2013, our Board of Directors approved a 3-for-1 forward stock split. Implementation of the stock split is subject to the Company's shareholders approving an amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock. This amendment, which would enable the proposed stock split, will be voted on by the Company's shareholders at Flowserve's 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders expected to be held May 23, 2013. If approved as recommended by the Board, the record date for the stock split is expected to be on or about June 7, 2013. Each shareholder of record on the record date will receive two additional shares of common stock for each share held, and our past and future earnings per share, and any dividends paid on our common stock, would be proportionately adjusted for any effected stock split.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report includes a comprehensive discussion of our share repurchase program, including our accelerated share repurchase program ("ASR Program") and payment of quarterly dividends on our common stock.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase the understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the “Forward-Looking Statements” included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 ("Annual Report") for a discussion of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions associated with these statements. Unless otherwise noted, all amounts discussed herein are consolidated.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Our Company
We believe that we are a world-leading manufacturer and aftermarket service provider of comprehensive flow control systems. We develop and manufacture precision-engineered flow control equipment integral to the movement, control and protection of the flow of materials in our customers’ critical processes. Our product portfolio of pumps, valves, seals, automation and aftermarket services supports global infrastructure industries, including oil and gas, chemical, power generation and water management, as well as general industrial markets where our products and services add value. Through our manufacturing platform and global network of Quick Response Centers ("QRCs"), we offer a broad array of aftermarket equipment services, such as installation, advanced diagnostics, repair and retrofitting. We currently employ approximately 17,000 employees in more than 50 countries.
Our business model is significantly influenced by the capital spending of global infrastructure industries for the placement of new products into service and aftermarket services for existing operations. The worldwide installed base of our products is an important source of aftermarket revenue, where products are expected to ensure the maximum operating time of many key industrial processes. Over the past several years, we have significantly invested in our aftermarket strategy to provide local support to drive customer investments in our offerings and use of our services to replace or repair installed products. The aftermarket portion of our business also helps provide business stability during various economic periods. The aftermarket business, which is served by our network of 177 QRCs located around the globe, provides a variety of service offerings for our customers including spare parts, service solutions, product life cycle solutions and other value-added services. It is generally a higher margin business compared to our original equipment business and a key component of our profitable growth strategy.
Our operations are conducted through three business segments that are referenced throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A"):
•
Engineered Product Division ("EPD") for long lead time, custom and other highly-engineered pumps and pump systems, mechanical seals, auxiliary systems and replacement parts and related services;
•
Industrial Product Division ("IPD") for pre-configured engineered pumps and pump systems and related products and services; and
•
Flow Control Division ("FCD") for engineered and industrial valves, control valves, actuators and controls and related services.
Our business segments share a focus on industrial flow control technology and have a high number of common customers. These segments also have complementary product offerings and technologies that are often combined in applications that provide us a net competitive advantage. Our segments also benefit from our global footprint and our economies of scale in reducing administrative and overhead costs to serve customers more cost effectively. For example, our segment leadership reports to our Chief Operating Officer ("COO"), and the segments share leadership for operational support functions such as research and development, marketing and supply chain.
The reputation of our product portfolio is built on more than 50 well-respected brand names such as Worthington, IDP, Valtek, Limitorque, Durco, Edward, Anchor/Darling and Durametallic, which we believe to be one of the most comprehensive in the industry. Our products and services are sold either directly or through designated channels to more than 10,000 companies, including some of the world’s leading engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") firms, original equipment manufacturers, distributors and end users.
We continue to build on our geographic breadth through our QRC network with the goal to be positioned as near to customers as possible for service and support in order to capture valuable aftermarket business. Along with ensuring that we have the local capability to sell, install and service our equipment in remote regions, it is equally imperative to continuously improve our global operations. We continue to expand our global supply chain capability to meet global customer demands and ensure the quality and timely delivery of our products. We continue to devote resources to improving the supply chain processes across our business segments to find areas of synergy and cost reduction and to improve our supply chain management capability to ensure it can meet
global customer demands. We also remain focused on improving on-time delivery and quality, while managing warranty costs as a percentage of sales across our global operations, through the assistance of a focused Continuous Improvement Process ("CIP") initiative. The goal of the CIP initiative, which includes lean manufacturing, six sigma business management strategy and value engineering, is to maximize service fulfillment to customers through on-time delivery, reduced cycle time and quality at the highest internal productivity.
We experienced improved bookings in 2012 despite an environment of continued global macroeconomic uncertainty. The oil and gas industry experienced stable conditions, while the chemical industry saw increased activity. The growth in the chemical industry was driven by Asia Pacific and Middle Eastern countries accelerating investment in their chemical processing capabilities and North America producers investing to utilize natural gas as a low-cost feedstock. We experienced a modest decline in bookings into Europe, as economic conditions in the region remain challenged. In the power generation industry, we experienced a slowing in the level of investment during 2012 due to uncertainty relating to environmental regulations and potential regulatory impact to the overall civilian nuclear market.
In 2012, continued favorable conditions in our aftermarket business were driven by our customers' need to maintain continuing operations across several industries and the expansion of our aftermarket capabilities through our integrated solutions offerings. Our pursuit of major capital projects globally and our investments in localized customer service remain key components of our long-term growth strategy, and also provide stability during various economic periods. We believe that our commitment to localize service support capabilities close to our customers' operations through our QRC network has enabled us to grow our market share in the aftermarket portion of our business.
We believe that with our customer relationships, global presence and highly-regarded technical capabilities, we will continue to have opportunities in our core industries; however, we face ongoing challenges affecting many companies in our industry with a significant multinational presence, such as economic, political, currency and other risks.
At December 31, 2012, we had no direct investments in European sovereign or non-sovereign debt. However, certain of our defined benefit plans hold investments in European equity and fixed income securities as discussed in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" ("Item 8") of this Annual Report. Other than broad, macro-level economic impacts, including foreign exchange rate impacts, we did not experience any direct or measurable disruptions during 2012 due to the European economic crisis. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the impact of any future developments in the region on our current business, our customers and suppliers and the state of the global economy. Additional adverse developments could potentially impact our customers’ exposures to sovereign and non-sovereign European debt and could soften the level of capital investment and demand for our products and services.
On May 31, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors endorsed an updated capital structure strategy designed to make our financial structure more efficient. This capital structure strategy includes: (i) targeting a long-term gross leverage ratio of 1.0x-2.0x total debt to EBITDA through the business cycle, versus then-current gross leverage ratio of 0.7x; and (ii) an expanded share repurchase program of $1.0 billion, which at authorization included approximately $233 million remaining under the previous repurchase authorization. The expanded share repurchase program includes amounts incremental to our previously-announced policy of annually returning 40% to 50% of running two-year average net earnings to shareholders. While we intend to adhere to this policy for the foreseeable future, any future returns of cash, whether through any combination of dividends or share repurchases, will be reviewed individually, declared by our Board of Directors and implemented by management at its discretion, depending on our financial condition and business opportunities at the time and market conditions.
As a part of the $1.0 billion share repurchase program, on June 14, 2012, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase program ("ASR Program"). The ASR Program was completed on December 12, 2012. Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report includes a discussion of our ASR Program, share repurchase program and payments of quarterly dividends on our common stock.
As a part of our continuing effort to execute our capital structure strategy, we entered into a new credit agreement in August 2012. This new agreement provided additional debt capacity to execute on our growth initiatives, and also enhanced our operating flexibility and reduced our borrowing costs after attaining investment grade credit ratings with all three rating agencies. Additionally, on September 11, 2012, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due September 15, 2022 ("Senior Notes"). See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report for a more complete discussion of our long-term debt.
Our Markets
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the "Outlook for 2013" section included below in this MD&A.
Our products and services are used in several distinct industries: oil and gas, chemical, power generation, water management, and a number of other industries that are collectively referred to as "general industries."
Demand for most of our products depends on the level of new capital investment and planned and unplanned maintenance expenditures by our customers. The level of new capital investment depends, in turn, on capital infrastructure projects driven by the need for oil and gas, power generation and water management, as well as general economic conditions. These drivers are generally related to the phase of the business cycle in their respective industries and the expectations of future market behavior. The levels of maintenance expenditures are additionally driven by the reliability of equipment, planned and unplanned downtime for maintenance and the required capacity utilization of the process.
Our customers include EPC firms, original equipment manufacturers, end users and distributors. Sales to EPC firms and original equipment manufacturers are typically for large project orders and critical applications, as are certain sales to distributors. Project orders are typically procured for customers either directly from us or indirectly through contractors for new construction projects or facility enhancement projects.
The quick turnaround business, which we also refer to as "book and ship," is defined as orders that are received from the customer (booked) and shipped within three months of receipt. These orders are typically for more standardized, general purpose products, parts or services. Each of our three business segments generate certain levels of this type of business.
In the sale of aftermarket products and services, we benefit from a large installed base of our original equipment, which requires periodic maintenance, repair and replacement parts. We use our manufacturing platform and global network of QRCs to offer a broad array of aftermarket equipment services, such as installation, advanced diagnostics, repair and retrofitting. In geographic regions where we are positioned to provide quick response, we believe customers have traditionally relied on us, rather than our competitors, for aftermarket products due to our highly engineered and customized products. However, the aftermarket for standard products is competitive, as the existence of common standards allows for easier replacement of the installed products. As proximity of service centers, timeliness of delivery and quality are important considerations for all aftermarket products and services, we continue to selectively expand our global QRC network to improve our ability to capture this important aftermarket business.
Oil and Gas
The oil and gas industry, which represented approximately 41% and 40% of our bookings in 2012 and 2011, respectively, experienced a stable level of capital spending in 2012 compared to the previous year due to the need to continue building infrastructure to bring future capacity on line to meet future demand expectations. The majority of investment by the major oil companies continued to focus on upstream production activities; however, there were improved levels of spending in both mid-stream pipeline and downstream refining operations, particularly in the developing markets. Refining overcapacity remained a concern throughout the year in the mature regions, as overall demand for oil remained volatile throughout the year. Aftermarket opportunities in this industry improved throughout the year, with our integrated solutions offering helping to offset a reduction in service-related business, as many refineries performed this work with their own personnel.
The outlook for the oil and gas industry is heavily dependent on the demand growth from both mature markets and developing geographies. We believe oil and gas companies will continue with upstream and downstream investment plans that are in line with projections of future demand growth and the production declines of existing operations. A projected decline in demand could cause oil and gas companies to reduce their overall level of spending, which could decrease demand for our products and services. However, we believe the long-term fundamentals for this industry remain solid based on current supply, projected depletion rates of existing fields and forecasted long-term demand growth. With our long-standing reputation in providing successful solutions for upstream, mid-stream and downstream applications, along with the advancements in our portfolio of offerings, we believe that we continue to be well-positioned to pursue the global opportunities in this industry.
Chemical
The chemical industry represented approximately 19% and 18% of our bookings in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Capital spending in the chemical industry increased in 2012 with the expansion of existing facilities and the approval of new projects around the world. The Middle East and Asia have seen significant growth in chemical projects as countries in those regions try to access the higher margins available downstream in the petrochemical markets. Additionally, North America has seen a revival in the chemical industry, where shale gas has changed the economics of production allowing for a lower cost abundant feedstock to drive high value chemical projects. The aftermarket opportunities improved for the majority of the year with indications that the improvements will continue into 2013.
Despite a strong year, the outlook for the chemical industry remains heavily dependent on global economic conditions. As global economies stabilize and unemployment conditions improve, a rise in consumer spending should follow. An increase in spending would drive greater demand for chemical-based products supporting improved levels of capital investment. We believe the chemical industry in the near-term will continue to invest in maintenance and upgrades for optimization of existing assets and that developing regions will continue investing in capital infrastructure to meet current and future indigenous demand. We believe
our global presence and our localized aftermarket capabilities are well-positioned to serve the potential growth opportunities in this industry.
Power Generation
The power generation industry represented approximately 14% and 16% of our bookings in 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2012, the power generation industry continued to experience some softness in capital spending in the mature regions driven by the uncertainty related to environmental regulations, as well as potential regulatory impacts to the overall civilian nuclear market. In the developing regions, capital investment remained in place driven by increased demand forecasts for electricity in countries such as China and India. Global concerns about the environment continue to support an increase in desired future capacity from renewable energy sources. The majority of the active and planned construction throughout 2012 continued to utilize designs based on fossil fuels. Natural gas increased its percentage of utilization driven by market prices for gas remaining low and relatively stable. With the potential of unconventional sources of gas, such as shale gas, the power generation industry is forecasting an increased use of this form of fuel for power generation plants.
We believe the outlook for the power generation industry remains favorable. Current legislative efforts to limit the emissions of carbon dioxide may have an adverse effect on investment plans depending on the potential requirements imposed and the timing of compliance by country. However, we believe that proposed methods of limiting carbon dioxide emissions offer business opportunities for our products and services. We believe the long-term fundamentals for the power generation industry remain solid based on projected increases in demand for electricity driven by global population growth, advancements of industrialization and growth of urbanization in developing markets. We also believe that our long-standing reputation in the power generation industry, our portfolio of offerings for the various generating methods, our advancements in serving the renewable energy market and carbon capture methodologies, as well as our global service and support structure, position us well for the future opportunities in this important industry.
Water Management
The water management industry represented approximately 4% our bookings in both 2012 and 2011. Although the water management industry displayed weakness in spending levels in 2012 as desalination projects continued to be delayed, worldwide demand for fresh water and water treatment continues to create requirements for new facilities or for upgrades of existing systems, many of which require products that we offer, particularly pumps. We believe that the persistent demand for fresh water during all economic cycles supports continued investments.
The water management industry is facing a future supply/demand challenge relative to forecasted global population growth coupled with the advancement of industrialization and urbanization. Due to the limitations of usable fresh water around the globe, there continues to be a need for increased investment in desalination. This investment is forecasted to significantly increase over the next several decades. We believe we are a global leader in the desalination market, which is already an important source of fresh water in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. We expect that this trend in desalination will expand from these traditional areas to other coastal areas around the globe, which we believe presents a significant market opportunity for pumps, valves, actuation products and energy recovery devices.
General Industries
General industries represented, in the aggregate, approximately 22% of our bookings in both 2012 and 2011. General industries comprises a variety of different businesses, including mining and ore processing, pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, food and beverage and other smaller applications, none of which individually represented more than 5% of total bookings in 2012 and 2011. General industries also includes sales to distributors, whose end customers operate in the industries we primarily serve.
The outlook for this group of industries is heavily dependent upon the condition of global economies and consumer confidence levels. The long-term fundamentals of many of these industries remain sound, as many of the products produced by these industries are common staples of industrialized and urbanized economies. We believe that our specialty product offerings designed for these industries and our aftermarket service capabilities will provide continued business opportunities.
OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Throughout this discussion of our results of operations, we discuss the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have calculated currency effects by translating current year results on a monthly basis at prior year exchange rates for the same periods.
As discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report, effective October 28, 2011, we acquired for inclusion in EPD, Lawrence Pumps, Inc. ("LPI"), a privately-owned, United States ("U.S.") based
company specializing in the design, development and manufacture of engineered centrifugal slurry pumps for critical services within the petroleum refining, petrochemical, pulp and paper and energy markets. We also acquired for inclusion in FCD, Valbart Srl ("Valbart"), a privately-owned Italian valve manufacturer, effective July 16, 2010. The results of operations of LPI and Valbart have been consolidated since the respective dates of acquisition. No pro forma information has been provided for these acquisitions due to immateriality.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the “Outlook for 2013” section included in this MD&A.

We define a booking as the receipt of a customer order that contractually engages us to perform activities on behalf of our customer in regards to the manufacture, delivery, and/or support of products or the delivery of service. Bookings recorded and subsequently canceled within the same fiscal period are excluded from bookings. Bookings in 2012 increased by $51.6 million, or 1.1%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $204 million. The increase was primarily driven by the oil and gas and chemical industries in EPD and IPD and general industries in EPD, partially offset by declines in the power generation industry in EPD and IPD and the oil and gas and general industries in FCD. The increase was more heavily weighted toward aftermarket bookings in EPD and to a lesser extent original equipment bookings in IPD, offset by reduced original equipment bookings in FCD. The increase included the 2012 impact of IPD orders in excess of $90 million to supply offshore oil and gas platform equipment over the next five years and an order in 2011 in excess of $80 million to supply a variety of pumps for a refinery that did not recur in 2012.
Bookings in 2011 increased by $433.0 million, or 10.2%, as compared with 2010. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $149 million. The increase was primarily attributable to increased original equipment bookings in FCD and IPD, coupled with increased aftermarket bookings in EPD. These increases were partially offset by decreased original equipment bookings in EPD, including the impact of an order in excess of $80 million to supply a variety of pumps for a refinery, received primarily in the first quarter of 2011, as well as the impact of an order in excess of $80 million for crude oil pumps, seals and related support services booked in 2010 that did not recur. The increase was also attributable to strength in the oil and gas and chemical industries in FCD, general industries in both FCD and IPD and power generation and chemical industries in EPD, partially offset by a decrease in the oil and gas industry in EPD.
Backlog represents the aggregate value of booked but uncompleted customer orders and is influenced primarily by bookings, sales, cancellations and currency effects. Backlog of $2.6 billion at December 31, 2012 decreased by $41.2 million, or 1.5%, as compared to December 31, 2011. Currency effects provided an increase of approximately $22 million (currency effects on backlog are calculated using the change in period end exchange rates). Approximately 24% of the backlog at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was related to aftermarket orders. Backlog of $2.7 billion at December 31, 2011 increased by $95.4 million, or 3.7%, as compared to December 31, 2010. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $51 million.

Sales in 2012 increased by $241.1 million, or 5.3%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $204 million. The increase was primarily due to increased original equipment sales in IPD and FCD, and aftermarket sales in EPD. The increase was driven by customer sales to North America, Asia Pacific and the Middle East, partially offset by a decrease in customer sales to Europe.
Sales in 2011 increased by $478.2 million, or 11.9%, as compared with 2010. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $144 million. The increase was primarily due to increased original equipment sales in FCD and IPD, and increased aftermarket sales in EPD. The increase was driven by customer sales to North America, Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
Sales to international customers, including export sales from the U.S., were approximately 71% of sales in 2012, and 73% in both 2011 and 2010. Sales to Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMA") were approximately 37%, 39% and 40% of total
sales in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sales to Asia Pacific were approximately 20%, 19% and 18% of total sales in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sales to Latin America were approximately 10% of total sales in each of 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Gross profit in 2012 increased by $67.4 million, or 4.5%, as compared with 2011. Gross profit margin in 2012 of 33.3% decreased from 33.6% in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributed to the larger effect on revenue of certain large, lower margin projects that shipped from backlog in EPD as compared with the same period in 2011, partially offset by the effects of operational execution improvements in EPD and IPD. Aftermarket sales of approximately 41% of total sales were consistent with the same period in 2011.
Gross profit in 2011 increased by $103.9 million, or 7.4%, as compared with 2010. The increase included the effect of approximately $13 million in increased savings realized and $9.9 million of decreased charges resulting from our realignment programs, partially offset by $6.8 million in charges related to the IPD recovery plan, as compared with 2010. Gross profit margin in 2011 of 33.6% decreased from 35.0% in 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower margins on certain large projects primarily in beginning of year backlog, the negative impact of currency on margins of U.S. dollar-denominated sales produced in some of our non-U.S. facilities, incremental charges associated with certain projects that have not shipped or shipped late in EPD, charges related to the IPD recovery plan and increased material costs in FCD. The decrease was partially offset by a mix shift to higher margin aftermarket sales in all business segments. As a result of the sales mix shift, aftermarket sales increased to approximately 41% of total sales, as compared with approximately 39% of total sales for the same period in 2010.

SG&A in 2012 increased by $8.0 million, or 0.9%, as compared with 2011. Currency effects yielded a decrease of approximately $28 million. Selling-related expenses and broad-based annual incentive compensation expenses primarily contributed to the increase. These increases were partially offset by a $10.4 million gain in EPD during the first quarter of 2012 from the sale of our manufacturing facility in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in preparation for opening a new manufacturing facility there in 2013. SG&A as a percentage of sales in 2012 improved 90 basis points as compared with 2011, due in part to a continued focus on cost management.
SG&A in 2011 increased by $69.1 million, or 8.2%, as compared with 2010. The increase included currency effects that yielded an increase of approximately $25 million, and also included the effect of approximately $10 million in increased savings realized and $3.6 million of decreased charges resulting from our realignment programs as compared with 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental selling and marketing-related expenses associated with the above mentioned increase in sales, merit-related compensation increases, acquisition-related costs and other incremental SG&A costs associated with the acquisition of LPI during the fourth quarter of 2011 and the impact of hiring associates to support high-growth areas of the business. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in broad-based annual and long-term incentive program compensation. SG&A as a percentage of sales in 2011 improved 70 basis points as compared with 2010.

Net earnings from affiliates represents our net income from investments in eight joint ventures (one located in each of Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and the United Arab Emirates and two located in each of China and India) that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Net earnings from affiliates in 2012 decreased by $2.1 million, or 11.0%, as compared with 2011,
primarily due to decreased earnings of our FCD joint venture in India. Net earnings from affiliates in 2011 increased by $2.5 million, or 15.1%, as compared with 2010, primarily due to increased earnings of our FCD joint venture in India.

Operating income in 2012 increased by $57.1 million, or 9.2%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $36 million. The increase was primarily a result of the $67.4 million increase in gross profit. The improvement in operating income as a percentage of sales was primarily due to SG&A as a percentage of sales decreasing to 19.4% from 20.3% for the same period in 2011, partially offset by the slight decrease in gross profit margin.
Operating income in 2011 increased by $37.3 million, or 6.4%, as compared with 2010. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $17 million. The increase included the effect of approximately $24 million in increased savings realized from our realignment programs as compared with 2010. The overall net increase was primarily a result of the $103.9 million increase in gross profit, which was partially offset by the $69.1 million increase in SG&A, as discussed above.

Interest expense in 2012 increased by $7.3 million as compared with 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to interest expense associated with increased borrowings under our Bridge Loan and Senior Notes and $1.3 million in unamortized deferred loan costs related to our Prior Credit Agreement that were expensed in the third quarter of 2012. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report for definition and discussion of our various credit resources. Interest expense in 2011 increased by $1.9 million as compared with 2010 primarily due to increased interest expense on local borrowings to fund short-term cash needs in support of growth in emerging markets and the impact of the refinancing of our credit facilities in late 2010. At December 31, 2012, approximately 70% of our debt was at fixed rates, including the effects of $275.0 million of notional interest rate swaps.
Interest income in 2012 decreased by $0.6 million as compared with 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower average cash balances in 2012 as compared with 2011. Interest income in 2011 was consistent with 2010.

Other (expense) income, net in 2012 decreased $25.3 million to other expense, net of $21.6 million, as compared to other income, net of $3.7 million in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a $21.6 million increase in losses (reflecting a $14.3 million loss in 2012, relating primarily to the Euro and Mexican peso, as compared with a $7.3 million gain in 2011) arising from transactions in currencies other than our sites’ functional currencies, as well as a $3.4 million increase in losses on foreign exchange contracts.
Other income (expense), net in 2011 increased $22.0 million to income of $3.7 million, as compared to expense of $18.3 million in 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $23.9 million increase in gains arising from transactions in currencies other than our sites' functional currencies, which reflect the relative strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus the Euro during 2011 as compared with 2010. Currency losses in 2010 included the impact of the $7.6 million net loss recorded as a result of Venezuela's currency devaluation and the settlement of U.S. dollar denominated liabilities at the more favorable essential items rate of 2.60 Bolivars to the U.S. dollar. These losses were partially offset by a $3.1 million gain on the sale of an investment in a joint venture in 2010 that was accounted for under the cost method.

The 2012, 2011 and 2010 effective tax rates differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations, which included the impacts of lower foreign tax rates, and changes in our reserves established for uncertain tax positions.
On May 17, 2006, the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 was signed into law, creating an exclusion from U.S. taxable income for certain types of foreign related party payments of dividends, interest, rents and royalties that, prior to 2006, had been subject to U.S. taxation. This exclusion is effective for the years 2006 through 2013, and applies to certain of our related party payments.
Our effective tax rate is based upon current earnings and estimates of future taxable earnings for each domestic and international location. Changes in any of these and other factors, including our ability to utilize foreign tax credits and net operating losses or results from tax audits, could impact the tax rate in future periods. As of December 31, 2012, we have foreign tax credits of $31.4 million, expiring in 2020 and 2021 against which we recorded no valuation allowances. Additionally, we have recorded other net deferred tax assets of $73.2 million, which relate to net operating losses, tax credits and other deductible temporary differences that are available to reduce taxable income in future periods, most of which do not have a definite expiration. Should we not be able to utilize all or a portion of these credits and losses, our effective tax rate would increase.
Net Earnings and Earnings Per Share
Net earnings in 2012 increased by $19.7 million to $448.3 million, or to $8.51 per diluted share, as compared with 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $57.1 million increase in operating income, partially offset by a $25.3 million decrease in other income, net, a $7.3 million increase in interest expense and a $2.3 million increase in tax expense.
Net earnings in 2011 increased by $40.3 million to $428.6 million, or to $7.64 per diluted share, as compared with 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to $37.3 million increase in operating income and a $22.0 million increase in other income (expense), net, partially offset by a $1.9 million increase in interest expense and a $16.9 million increase in tax expense.

Business Segments
We conduct our operations through three business segments based on type of product and how we manage the business. We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each segment’s operating income. See Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report for further discussion of our segments. The key operating results for our three business segments, EPD, IPD and FCD, are discussed below.
Engineered Product Division Segment Results
Our largest business segment is EPD, through which we design, manufacture, distribute and service custom and other highly-engineered pumps and pump systems, mechanical seals and auxiliary systems (collectively referred to as "original equipment"). EPD includes longer lead time, highly-engineered pump products, and shorter cycle engineered pumps and mechanical seals that are generally manufactured much more quickly. EPD also manufactures replacement parts and related equipment and provides a full array of replacement parts, repair and support services (collectively referred to as "aftermarket"). EPD primarily operates in the oil and gas, power generation, chemical, water management and general industries. EPD operates in 41 countries with 29 manufacturing facilities worldwide, nine of which are located in Europe, 11 in North America, four in Asia and five in Latin America, and it has 128 QRCs, including those co-located in manufacturing facilities and/or shared with FCD.

Includes the post-acquisition operating results of LPI, which was acquired in October 2011.
Bookings in 2012 increased by $39.6 million, or 1.7%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $105 million. The increase in customer bookings was primarily driven by the chemical, oil and gas and general industries, partially offset by the power generation industry. Customer bookings increases of $80.1 million into North America, $53.0 million into Asia Pacific and $47.1 million into Europe were partially offset by a decrease of $129.8 million into the Middle East. The overall net increase was driven by aftermarket bookings. The increase included the impact of an order in the first quarter of 2011 in excess of $80 million to supply a variety of pumps for a refinery in the Middle East that did not recur in 2012. Of the $2.4 billion of bookings in 2012, approximately 51% were from oil and gas, 17% from power generation, 15% from chemical, 2% from water management and 15% from general industries. The trend toward globalization is continuing to drive spending in the chemical, oil and gas and general industries in 2012. The North American pipeline business and the global fertilizer market strengthened compared to last year. Interdivision bookings (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated bookings as disclosed above) decreased $11.2 million.
Bookings in 2011 increased by $91.5 million, or 4.1%, as compared with 2010. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $65 million. Customer bookings increases of $94.1 million into North America, $64.5 million into Asia Pacific, $47.3 into the Middle East and $23.2 million into Latin America were partially offset by a decrease of $136.4 million into Europe. The overall net increase primarily consisted of an increase in the power generation and chemical industries. Of the $2.3 billion of bookings in 2011, approximately 50% were from oil and gas, 21% from power generation, 13% from chemical, 1% from water management and 15% from general industries. Interdivision bookings (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated bookings as disclosed above) increased $3.3 million.
Sales in 2012 increased $81.7 million, or 3.5%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $106 million. The increase was more heavily weighted towards aftermarket sales, primarily resulting from customer sales increases of $75.0 million into North America, $52.9 million into the Middle East and $21.1 million into Asia Pacific, partially offset by sales decreases of $28.6 million into Europe and $21.6 million into Latin America. Interdivision sales (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated sales as disclosed above) decreased $17.4 million.
Sales in 2011 increased $168.7 million, or 7.8%, as compared with 2011. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $67 million. The increase was primarily driven by increased aftermarket sales. Sales increases of $71.7 million into Latin America, $49.4 million into North America, $43.7 million into Asia Pacific and $39.1 million into the Middle East were partially offset by sales decreases of $28.9 million into Europe. Interdivision sales (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated sales as disclosed above) increased $16.3 million.
Gross profit in 2012 increased by $7.8 million, or 1.0%, as compared with 2011. Gross profit margin in 2012 of 33.8% decreased from 34.6% in 2011. The decrease was primarily attributed to a larger effect on revenue of certain large, lower margin
projects that shipped from backlog, as compared with the same period in 2011, partially offset by the effects of operational execution improvements and a sales mix shift towards higher margin aftermarket sales.
Gross profit in 2011 increased by $20.5 million, or 2.6%, as compared with 2010. Gross profit margin in 2011 of 34.6% decreased from 36.4% in 2010. The decrease was primarily attributable to a larger effect on revenue of certain large projects at low margins primarily in beginning of year backlog, the negative impact of currency on margins of U.S. dollar denominated sales produced in some of our non-U.S. facilities and incremental charges associated with certain projects that have not shipped or shipped late, partially offset by a sales mix shift towards higher margin aftermarket sales.
Operating income in 2012 increased by $0.9 million, or 0.2%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $20 million. The increase was due primarily to the gross profit increase of $7.8 million, partially offset by increased SG&A of $7.4 million (including a decrease due to currency effects of approximately $13 million). The increase in SG&A included a $10.4 million gain from the sale of our manufacturing facility in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in preparation for opening a new manufacturing facility there in 2013, offset by increased SG&A costs associated with LPI, increased broad-based annual incentive compensation and increased selling-related expenses.
Operating income in 2011 decreased by $17.4 million, or 4.2%, as compared with 2010. The decrease included currency benefits of approximately $9 million. The overall net decrease was due primarily to the SG&A increase of $37.9 million (including an increase due to currency effects of approximately $12 million), partially offset by increased gross profit of $20.5 million. Increased SG&A was attributable to incremental selling and marketing-related expenses associated with the above mentioned increase in sales, merit-related compensation increases, the impact of hiring associates to support high-growth areas of the business, acquisition-related and other incremental SG&A costs associated with the acquisition of LPI in the fourth quarter of 2011 and a $3.9 million penalty that was assessed by a Spanish regulatory commission in the second quarter of 2011. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in broad-based annual and long-term incentive program compensation.
Backlog of $1.4 billion at December 31, 2012 decreased by $41.3 million, or 2.9%, as compared to December 31, 2011. Currency effects provided an increase of approximately $11 million. Backlog at December 31, 2012 included $21.4 million of interdivision backlog (which is eliminated and not included in consolidated backlog as disclosed above). Backlog of $1.4 billion at December 31, 2011 increased by $6.1 million, or 0.4%, as compared to December 31, 2010. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $14 million. Backlog at December 31, 2011 included $19.9 million of interdivision backlog (which is eliminated and not included in consolidated backlog as disclosed above).
Industrial Product Division Segment Results
Through IPD we design, manufacture, distribute and service engineered, pre-configured industrial pumps and pump systems, including submersible motors and specialty products, collectively referred to as "original equipment." Additionally, IPD manufactures replacement parts and related equipment, and provides a full array of support services (collectively referred to as "aftermarket"). IPD primarily operates in the oil and gas, chemical, water management, power generation and general industries. IPD operates 12 manufacturing facilities, three of which are located in the U.S and six in Europe, and it operates 20 QRCs worldwide, including 11 sites in Europe and three in the U.S., including those co-located in manufacturing facilities.
Bookings in 2012 increased by $58.9 million, or 6.5%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $35 million. The increase was primarily driven by increased customer bookings in the oil and gas and chemical industries, partially offset by the power industry. The increase included the impact of 2012 orders in excess of $90 million to supply offshore oil and gas platform equipment over the next five years primarily to an end customer in Latin America. Customer bookings increases of $105.2 million into Latin America and $32.7 million into North America were partially offset by a decrease of $37.7 million into Europe and $22.8 million into Asia Pacific. The increase was more heavily weighted toward customer original
equipment bookings. Interdivision bookings (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated bookings as disclosed above) decreased $24.7 million. Of the $964.3 million of bookings in 2012, approximately 35% were from oil and gas, 16% from water management, 13% from chemical, 5% from power generation and 31% from general industries. In 2012, opportunities in the chemical industry were driven by inexpensive natural gas in North America and demand for product diversification in the Middle East. Additionally, stable pricing in 2012 promoted investment in both conventional and unconventional oil.
Bookings in 2011 increased by $77.9 million, or 9.4%, as compared with 2010. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $29 million. Customer bookings increases of $49.8 million into Asia Pacific, $12.8 million into Africa and $12.7 million into Europe were partially offset by a decrease of $19.4 million into the Middle East and $15.5 million into Latin America. Customer bookings increases were driven by general and chemical industries, partially offset by decreased customer bookings in the water management industry. Interdivision bookings (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated bookings as disclosed above) increased $32.2 million. Of the $905.4 million of bookings in 2011, approximately 29% were from oil and gas, 19% from water management, 11% from chemical, 8% from power generation and 33% from general industries.
Sales in 2012 increased by $75.7 million, or 8.6%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $31 million. The increase in customer sales was primarily driven by original equipment sales. Customer sales increases of $35.9 million into North America, $15.2 million into the Middle East, $14.3 million into Asia Pacific and $12.1 million into Latin America were partially offset by decreased sales of $22.7 million into Europe. Interdivision sales (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated sales as disclosed above) increased $14.6 million.
Sales in 2011 increased by $78.0 million, or 9.7%, as compared with 2010. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $29 million. The increase was primarily driven by increased aftermarket sales. The increase in customer sales was attributed to the increase of $48.9 million into North America. Interdivision sales (which are eliminated and are not included in consolidated sales as disclosed above) increased $30.0 million.
Gross profit in 2012 increased by $32.8 million, or 16.6%, as compared with 2011. Gross profit margin in 2012 of 24.1% increased from 22.5% in 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to $7.1 million of IPD recovery plan realignment charges incurred in 2011 that did not recur in 2012, lower costs resulting from operational improvements and continued realization of realignment savings, partially offset by a sales mix shift to lower margin original equipment sales.
Gross profit in 2011 decreased by $7.2 million, or 3.5%, as compared with 2010. Gross profit margin in 2011 of 22.5% decreased from 25.6% in 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to less favorable pricing on projects shipped from backlog, increased material costs, charges related to the IPD recovery plan and incremental charges resulting from operational efficiency issues in certain sites, partially offset by increased savings realized from our realignment programs, as compared with the same period in 2010, and a mix shift to higher margin aftermarket sales.
Operating income for 2012 increased by $36.6 million, or 58.2%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $4 million. The increase was due to the $32.8 million increase in gross profit discussed above and a $3.8 million decrease in SG&A.
Operating income for 2011 decreased by $5.6 million, or 8.2%, as compared with 2010. The decrease included currency benefits of approximately $2 million. The overall net decrease is due to the $7.2 million decrease in gross profit discussed above, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in SG&A.
Backlog of $593.0 million at December 31, 2012 increased by $25.2 million, or 4.4%, as compared with December 31, 2011. Currency effects provided an increase of approximately $13 million. Backlog at December 31, 2012 included $40.7 million of interdivision backlog (which is eliminated and not included in consolidated backlog as disclosed above). Backlog of $567.8 million at December 31, 2011 remained flat, as compared to December 31, 2010. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $13 million. Backlog at December 31, 2011 included $56.7 million of interdivision backlog (which is eliminated and not included in consolidated backlog as disclosed above).
Flow Control Division Segment Results
Our second largest business segment is FCD, which designs, manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of engineered-to-order and configured-to-order isolation valves, control valves, valve automation products, boiler controls and related services. FCD leverages its experience and application know-how by offering a complete menu of engineered services to complement its expansive product portfolio. FCD has a total of 58 manufacturing facilities and QRCs in 25 countries around the world, with five of its 25 manufacturing operations located in the U.S. and 13 located in Europe. Based on independent industry sources, we believe that FCD is the fourth largest industrial valve supplier on a global basis.

Includes the post-acquisition operating results of Valbart, which was acquired in July 2010.
Bookings in 2012 decreased $76.2 million, or 4.8%, as compared with 2011. The decrease included negative currency effects of approximately $63 million. The decrease in customer bookings was primarily attributable to customer project delays in the oil and gas industry and fewer pulp and paper projects in general industries. Customer bookings decreases of $68.6 million into Europe and $21.9 million into Latin America were partially offset by an increase of $13.6 million into the Middle East. The decrease was more heavily weighted toward original equipment bookings. Of the $1.5 billion of bookings in 2012, approximately 29% were from oil and gas, 29% from chemical, 27% from general industries, 14% from power generation and 1% from water management.
Bookings in 2011 increased $296.4 million, or 22.7%, as compared with 2010. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $54 million and Valbart bookings increases of $110.4 million. The increase in customer bookings was primarily attributable to strength in the oil and gas industry, and increased bookings in the chemical and general industries. Increased bookings were partially offset by decreases in the power generation industry due primarily to a slowdown in global nuclear power projects. Customer bookings increased $98.0 million into Europe, $79.4 into Asia Pacific, $62.7 million into North America and $38.0 million into Latin America. Of the $1.6 billion of bookings in 2011, approximately 31% were from oil and gas, 27% from chemical, 27% from general industries 14% from power generation and 1% from water management.
Sales in 2012 increased $83.8 million, or 5.7%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $67 million. The increase was primarily driven by customer original equipment sales in the oil and gas and chemical industries. Sales increases of $77.8 million into Asia Pacific and $47.5 million into North America were partially offset by a decrease of $42.4 million into Europe.
Sales in 2011 increased $275.8 million, or 23.0%, as compared with 2010. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $48 million. Customer sales increased by approximately $92.7 million into Europe, reflecting continued recovery in the oil and gas industry and included Valbart sales increases of $74.6 million. Customer sales increased by $59.8 million into the Middle East, $49.8 million into Asia Pacific and $47.2 million into North America.
Gross profit in 2012 increased by $29.9 million, or 5.8% as compared with 2011. Gross profit margin in 2012 of 34.8% was comparable to the same period in 2011.
Gross profit in 2011 increased by $89.2 million, or 21.1% as compared with 2010. Gross profit margin in 2011 of 34.7% decreased from 35.3% for the same period in 2010. The decrease was attributable to increased material costs, partially offset by increased sales, which favorably impacted our absorption of fixed manufacturing costs, and various CIP initiatives.
Operating income in 2012 increased by $20.1 million, or 8.6%, as compared with 2011. The increase included negative currency effects of approximately $12 million. The increase was principally attributable to the $29.9 million increase in gross profit noted above, partially offset by a $7.2 million increase in SG&A (including a decrease due to currency effects of approximately $11 million). Increased SG&A was primarily attributable to increased selling and research and development costs.
Operating income in 2011 increased by $52.9 million, or 29.3%, as compared with 2010. The increase included currency benefits of approximately $7 million. The increase was principally attributable to the $89.2 million increase in gross profit discussed above. The increase was partially offset by a $38.8 million increase in SG&A, which was attributable to incremental selling and marketing-related expenses associated with the above mentioned increase in sales, merit-related compensation increases, increased research and development costs and the impact of hiring associates to support high-growth areas of the business.
Backlog of $723.9 million at December 31, 2012 decreased by $36.0 million, or 4.7%, as compared to December 31, 2011. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $3 million. Backlog of $759.9 million at December 31, 2011 increased
by $101.4 million, or 15.4%, as compared to December 31, 2010. Currency effects provided a decrease of approximately $24 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flow Analysis
Existing cash, cash generated by operations and borrowings available under our existing revolving credit facility are our primary sources of short-term liquidity. We monitor the depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents on a regular basis, and we believe that we have placed our deposits with creditworthy financial institutions. Our sources of operating cash generally include the sale of our products and services and the conversion of our working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventories. Our total cash balance at December 31, 2012 was $304.3 million, compared with $337.4 million at December 31, 2011 and $557.6 million at December 31, 2010.
Our cash balance decreased by $33.1 million to $304.3 million as of December 31, 2012 as compared with December 31, 2011. The cash used in 2012 included $771.9 million for share repurchases, $135.5 million in capital expenditures, the funding of increased working capital requirements discussed below, $80.0 million in net payments on long-term debt and $73.8 million of dividend payments, partially offset by $498.1 million in proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes (discussed below).
Our cash provided by operating activities was $517.1 million, $218.2 million and $355.8 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which provided cash to support short-term working capital needs. Working capital increased in 2012 due primarily to higher inventory of $72.7 million and higher accounts receivable of $35.1 million. During 2012, we contributed $28.1 million to our defined benefit pension plans. Working capital increased in 2011 due primarily to higher accounts receivable of $243.1 million and higher inventory of $139.8 million. During 2011, we contributed $27.0 million to our defined benefit pension plans.
Increases in accounts receivable used $35.1 million of cash flow in 2012, as compared with $243.1 million in 2011 and $52.0 million in 2010. The use of cash for accounts receivable in 2012 was primarily attributable to delays in the collection of accounts receivable due to slower than anticipated payments from certain customers. The use of cash for accounts receivable in 2011 was primarily attributable to delays in the collection of accounts receivable due to slower than anticipated payments from certain customers, relatively strong sales in December 2011, in part due to the completion of certain previously past due projects, and contractually longer payment terms in 2011 as compared to 2010. For the fourth quarter of 2012, our days' sales outstanding ("DSO") was 75 days as compared with 75 days and 66 days for the same periods in 2011 and 2010, respectively. For reference purposes based on 2012 sales, a DSO improvement of one day could provide approximately $15 million in cash. We have not experienced a significant increase in customer payment defaults in 2012.
Increases in inventory used $72.7 million of cash flow in 2012 compared with $139.8 million in 2011 and $52.9 million in 2010. The use of cash for inventory in 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in progress billings on large orders at December 31, 2012 and higher raw material inventory needed to support an increased level of bookings. The use of cash for inventory in 2011 was primarily due to shipment delays and growth of short cycle orders during 2011, requiring higher raw material and work in process inventory to support end of period backlog. Inventory turns were 3.2 times at December 31, 2012, compared with 3.4 times at both December 31, 2011 and 2010. Our calculation of inventory turns does not reflect the impact of advanced cash received from our customers. For reference purposes based on 2012 data, an improvement of one-tenth of a turn could yield approximately $26 million in cash.
Cash flows used by investing activities were $126.4 million, $194.2 million and $286.7 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, due primarily to capital expenditures and cash paid for 2011 and 2010 acquisitions. Capital expenditures during 2012 were $135.5 million, an increase of $27.6 million as compared with 2011. In 2012, our capital expenditures were focused on strategic initiatives to pursue new markets, geographic and capacity expansion, information technology infrastructure and cost reduction opportunities.
Cash flows used by financing activities were $428.9 million in 2012 compared with $239.0 million in 2011 and $142.9 million in 2010. Cash outflows during 2012 resulted primarily from the repurchase of $771.9 million of our common stock (including the $300.0 million ASR Program payment discussed below), $80.0 million in net payments on long-term debt and $73.8 million of dividend payments, partially offset by $498.1 million in net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes. Cash outflows during
2011 resulted primarily from the repurchase of $150.0 million of our common stock, payment of $69.6 million in dividends and $25.0 million of payments on long-term debt.
On May 31, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors endorsed an updated capital structure strategy designed to make our financial structure more efficient. This capital structure strategy includes: (i) targeting a long-term gross leverage ratio of 1.0x-2.0x total debt to EBITDA through the business cycle, versus then-current gross leverage ratio of 0.7x; and (ii) an expanded share repurchase program of $1.0 billion, which at authorization included approximately $233 million remaining under the previous repurchase authorization. The expanded share repurchase program includes amounts incremental to our previously-announced policy of annually returning 40% to 50% of running two-year average net earnings to shareholders. While we intend to adhere to this policy for the foreseeable future, any future returns of cash, whether through any combination of dividends or share repurchases, will be reviewed individually, declared by our Board of Directors and implemented by management at its discretion, depending on our financial condition, business opportunities at the time and market conditions.
As a part of the $1.0 billion share repurchase program, on June 14, 2012, we entered into an ASR Program with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as agent for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, under which we agreed to repurchase an aggregate of $300.0 million of our common stock. The ASR Program was completed on December 12, 2012. Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report includes a discussion of our share repurchase program, including the ASR Program, and payments of quarterly dividends on our common stock.
As a part of our continuing effort to execute our capital structure strategy, we entered into a new credit agreement that provides for an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion, including a $400.0 million term loan facility with a maturity date of August 20, 2017 (“Term Loan Facility”) and an $850.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of August 20, 2017 (“Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facility”). This new agreement provided additional debt capacity to execute on our growth initiatives and enhance our operating flexibility and reduced our borrowing costs. Additionally, on September 11, 2012, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, which bear an annual stated interest rate of 3.50% (see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report).
Our cash needs for the next 12 months are expected to be less than those of 2012, resulting from a decreased level of anticipated share repurchases and improvements in working capital, partially offset by increases in pension contributions, incentive compensation payments and cash dividends. We believe cash flows from operating activities, combined with availability under our Revolving Credit Facility and our existing cash balances, will be sufficient to enable us to meet our cash flow needs for the next 12 months. However, cash flows from operations could be adversely affected by a decrease in the rate of general global economic growth, as well as economic, political and other risks associated with sales of our products, operational factors, competition, regulatory actions, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in interest rates, among other factors. We believe that cash flows from operating activities and our expectation of continuing availability to draw upon our credit agreements are also sufficient to meet our cash flow needs for periods beyond the next 12 months.
Payments for Acquisitions
We regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities of various sizes. The cost and terms of any financing to be raised in conjunction with any acquisition, including our ability to raise economical capital, is a critical consideration in any such evaluation.
Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this this Annual Report contains a discussion of acquisitions.
Financing
A discussion of our refinanced Senior Credit Facility and our European Letter of Credit ("LOC") Facility and related covenants is included in Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this this Annual Report. We were in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2012.
Certain financing arrangements contain provisions that may result in an event of default if there was a failure under other financing arrangements to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that could result in an acceleration of payment due. Such provisions are referred to as "cross default" provisions. Each of the Senior Credit Facility, the Senior Notes and the European LOC Facility is cross-defaulted to the other.
The rating agencies assign credit ratings to certain of our debt. Our access to capital markets and costs of debt could be directly affected by our credit ratings. Any adverse action with respect to our credit ratings could generally cause borrowing costs to increase and the potential pool of investors and fundings sources to decrease. In particular, a decline in credit ratings would increase the cost of borrowing under our Senior Credit Facility.
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our exposure to variable interest payments related to our Senior Credit Facility. These agreements are more fully described in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report, and in "

ITEM 7A - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
ITEM 7A.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have market risk exposure arising from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate movements. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, including interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts, but we currently expect all counterparties will continue to meet their obligations given their current creditworthiness.
Interest Rate Risk
Our earnings are impacted by changes in short-term interest rates as a result of borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility, which bear interest based on floating rates. At December 31, 2012, after the effect of interest rate swaps, we had $120.0 million of variable rate debt obligations outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility with a weighted average interest rate of 1.81%. A hypothetical change of 100 basis points in the interest rate for these borrowings, assuming constant variable rate debt levels, would have changed interest expense by $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had $275.0 million and $330.0 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding interest rate swaps with third parties with varying maturities through June 2015.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
A substantial portion of our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries outside of the U.S. in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The primary currencies in which we operate, in addition to the U.S. dollar, are the Argentine peso, Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Colombian peso, Euro, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Singapore dollar, Swedish krona and Venezuelan bolivar. Almost all of our non-U.S. subsidiaries conduct their business primarily in their local currencies, which are also their functional currencies. Foreign currency exposures arise from translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and from transactions, including firm commitments and anticipated transactions, denominated in a currency other than a non-U.S. subsidiary’s functional currency. Generally, we view our investments in foreign subsidiaries from a long-term perspective and, therefore, do not hedge these investments. We use capital structuring techniques to manage our investment in foreign subsidiaries as deemed necessary. We realized net gains (losses) associated with foreign currency translation of $18.2 million, $(56.8) million and $(10.6) million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are included in other comprehensive loss.
We employ a foreign currency risk management strategy to minimize potential changes in cash flows from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movements. Where available, the use of forward exchange contracts allows us to mitigate transactional exposure to exchange rate fluctuations as the gains or losses incurred on the forward exchange contracts will offset, in whole or in part, losses or gains on the underlying foreign currency exposure. Our policy allows foreign currency coverage only for identifiable foreign currency exposures, and changes in the fair values of these instruments are included in other (expense)
income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2012, we had a U.S. dollar equivalent of $608.9 million in aggregate notional amount outstanding in forward exchange contracts with third parties, compared with $481.2 million at December 31, 2011. Transactional currency gains and losses arising from transactions outside of our sites’ functional currencies and changes in fair value of certain forward exchange contracts are included in our consolidated results of operations. We recognized foreign currency net (losses) gains of $(21.3) million, $3.7 million and $(26.5) million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are included in other (expense) income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Based on a sensitivity analysis at December 31, 2012, a 10% change in the foreign currency exchange rates for the year ended December 31, 2012 would have impacted our net earnings by approximately $29 million, due primarily to the Euro. This calculation assumes that all currencies change in the same direction and proportion relative to the U.S. dollar and that there are no indirect effects, such as changes in non-U.S. dollar sales volumes or prices. This calculation does not take into account the impact of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts discussed above.
Hedging related transactions, which are related to interest rate swaps and recorded to other comprehensive loss, net of deferred taxes, are summarized below:
We expect to recognize losses of $1.0 million, $0.5 million and $0.2 million, net of deferred taxes, into earnings in 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively, related to interest rate swap agreements based on their fair values at December 31, 2012.

ITEM 8 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
ITEM 8.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Flowserve Corporation:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Flowserve Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
We are principally engaged in the worldwide design, manufacture, distribution and service of industrial flow management equipment. We provide long lead time, custom and other highly-engineered pumps; standardized, general-purpose pumps; mechanical seals; industrial valves; and related automation products and solutions primarily for oil and gas, chemical, power generation, water management and other general industries requiring flow management products and services. Equipment manufactured and serviced by us is predominantly used in industries that deal with difficult-to-handle and corrosive fluids, as well as environments with extreme temperatures, pressure, horsepower and speed. Our business is affected by economic conditions in the United States ("U.S.") and other countries where our products are sold and serviced, by the cyclical nature and competitive environment of the oil and gas, chemical, power generation, water management and other general industries served, by the relationship of the U.S. dollar to other currencies and by the demand for and pricing of our customers’ end products.
Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and our wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries. In addition, we would consolidate any variable interest entities for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interests of non-affiliated parties have been recognized for all majority-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany profits/losses, transactions and balances among consolidated entities have been eliminated from our consolidated financial statements. Investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies, which represent noncontrolling ownership interests between 20% and 50%, are accounted for using the equity method, which approximates our equity interest in their underlying equivalent net book value under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"). Investments in interests where we own less than 20% of the investee are accounted for by the cost method, whereby income is only recognized in the event of dividend receipt. Investments accounted for by the cost method are tested for impairment if an impairment indicator is present.
Use of Estimates - The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may differ materially from such estimates. The most significant estimates and assumptions are used in determining:
•
Revenue recognition, net of liquidated damages and other delivery penalties;
•
Income taxes, deferred taxes, tax valuation allowances and tax reserves;
•
Reserves for contingent loss;
•
Retirement and postretirement benefits; and
•
Valuation of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues for product sales are recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customers, which is typically based on the contractual delivery terms agreed to with the customer and fulfillment of all but inconsequential or perfunctory actions. In addition, our policy requires persuasive evidence of an arrangement, a fixed or determinable sales price and reasonable assurance of collectability. We defer the recognition of revenue when advance payments are received from customers before performance obligations have been completed and/or services have been performed. Freight charges billed to customers are included in sales and the related shipping costs are included in cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income. Our contracts typically include cancellation provisions that require customers to reimburse us for costs incurred up to the date of cancellation, as well as any contractual cancellation penalties.
We enter into certain contracts with multiple deliverables that may include any combination of designing, developing, manufacturing, modifying, installing and commissioning of flow management equipment and providing services related to the performance of such products. Delivery of these products and services typically occurs within a one to two-year period, although many arrangements, such as "book and ship" type orders, have a shorter timeframe for delivery. We aggregate or separate deliverables into units of accounting based on whether the deliverable(s) have standalone value to the customer and when no general right of return exists. Contract value is allocated ratably to the units of accounting in the arrangement based on their relative selling prices determined as if the deliverables were sold separately.
Revenues for long-term contracts that exceed certain internal thresholds regarding the size and duration of the project and provide for the receipt of progress billings from the customer are recorded on the percentage of completion method with progress
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
measured on a cost-to-cost basis. Percentage of completion revenue represents less than 9% of our consolidated sales for each year presented.
Revenue on service and repair contracts is recognized after services have been agreed to by the customer and rendered. Revenues generated under fixed fee service and repair contracts are recognized on a ratable basis over the term of the contract. These contracts can range in duration, but generally extend for up to five years. Fixed fee service contracts represent aproximately 1% of consolidated sales for each year presented.
In certain instances, we provide guaranteed completion dates under the terms of our contracts. Failure to meet contractual delivery dates can result in late delivery penalties or non-recoverable costs. In instances where the payment of such costs are deemed to be probable, we perform a project profitability analysis, accounting for such costs as a reduction of realizable revenues, which could potentially cause estimated total project costs to exceed projected total revenues realized from the project. In such instances, we would record reserves to cover such excesses in the period they are determined. In circumstances where the total projected revenues still exceed total projected costs, the incurrence of penalties or non-recoverable costs generally reduces profitability of the project at the time of subsequent revenue recognition.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - We place temporary cash investments with financial institutions and, by policy, invest in those institutions and instruments that have minimal credit risk and market risk. These investments, with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, are classified as cash equivalents. They are highly liquid and principal values are not subject to significant risk of change due to interest rate fluctuations.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Risk - The allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on estimates of the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable, which is determined principally based upon the aging of the accounts receivable, but also customer credit history, industry and market segment information, economic trends and conditions and credit reports. Customer credit issues, customer bankruptcies or general economic conditions may also impact our estimates.
Credit risks are mitigated by the diversity of our customer base across many different geographic regions and industries and by performing creditworthiness analyses on our customers. Additionally, we mitigate credit risk through letters of credit and advance payments received from our customers. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we do not believe that we have any significant concentrations of credit risk.
Inventories and Related Reserves - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventories are based upon our assessment of market conditions for our products determined by historical usage and estimated future demand. Due to the long life cycles of our products, we carry spare parts inventories that have historically low usage rates and provide reserves for such inventory based on demonstrated usage and aging criteria.
Income Taxes, Deferred Taxes, Tax Valuation Allowances and Tax Reserves - We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. We record valuation allowances to reflect the estimated amount of deferred tax assets that may not be realized based upon our analysis of existing deferred tax assets, net operating losses and tax credits by jurisdiction and expectations of our ability to utilize these tax attributes through a review of past, current and estimated future taxable income and establishment of tax strategies.
We provide deferred taxes for the temporary differences associated with our investment in foreign subsidiaries that have a financial reporting basis that exceeds tax basis, unless we can assert permanent reinvestment in foreign jurisdictions. Financial reporting basis and tax basis differences in investments in foreign subsidiaries consist of both unremitted earnings and losses, as well as foreign currency translation adjustments.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state, and foreign tax authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. We establish reserves for open tax years for uncertain tax positions that may be subject to challenge by various tax authorities. The consolidated tax provision and related accruals include the impact of such reasonably estimable losses and related interest and penalties as deemed appropriate.
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The determination is based on the technical merits of the position and presumes that each uncertain tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Legal and Environmental Accruals - Legal and environmental reserves are recorded based upon a case-by-case analysis of the relevant facts and circumstances and an assessment of potential legal obligations and costs. Amounts relating to legal and environmental liabilities are recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and such loss is estimable. Assessments of legal and environmental costs are based on information obtained from our independent and in-house experts and our loss experience in similar situations. Estimates are updated as applicable when new information regarding the facts and circumstances of each matter becomes available. Legal fees associated with legal and environmental liabilities are expensed as incurred.
Estimates of liabilities for unsettled asbestos-related claims are based on known claims and on our experience during the preceding two years for claims filed, settled and dismissed, with adjustments for events deemed unusual and unlikely to recur, and are included in retirement obligations and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. A substantial majority of our asbestos-related claims are covered by insurance or indemnities. Estimated indemnities and receivables from insurance carriers for unsettled claims and receivables for settlements and legal fees paid by us for asbestos-related claims are estimated using our historical experience with insurance recovery rates and estimates of future recoveries, which include estimates of coverage and financial viability of our insurance carriers. Estimated receivables are included in other assets, net in our consolidated balance sheets. We have claims pending against certain insurers that, if resolved more favorably than estimated future recoveries, would result in discrete gains in the applicable quarter.
Warranty Accruals - Warranty obligations are based upon product failure rates, materials usage, service delivery costs, an analysis of all identified or expected claims and an estimate of the cost to resolve such claims. The estimates of expected claims are generally a factor of historical claims and known product issues. Warranty obligations based on these factors are adjusted based on historical sales trends for the preceding 24 months.
Insurance Accruals - Insurance accruals are recorded for wholly or partially self-insured risks such as medical benefits and workers’ compensation and are based upon an analysis of our claim loss history, insurance deductibles, policy limits and other relevant factors that are updated annually and are included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. The estimates are based upon information received from actuaries, insurance company adjusters, independent claims administrators or other independent sources. Receivables from insurance carriers are estimated using our historical experience with insurance recovery rates and estimates of future recoveries, which include estimates of coverage and financial viability of our insurance carriers. Estimated receivables are included in accounts receivable, net and other assets, net, as applicable, in our consolidated balance sheets.
Pension and Postretirement Obligations - Determination of pension and postretirement benefits obligations is based on estimates made by management in consultation with independent actuaries and investment advisors. Inherent in these valuations are assumptions including discount rates, expected rates of return on plan assets, retirement rates, mortality rates and rates of compensation increase and other factors all of which are reviewed annually and updated if necessary. Current market conditions, including changes in rates of return, interest rates and medical inflation rates, are considered in selecting these assumptions.
Actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss as they arise and we amortize these costs into net pension expense over the remaining expected service period.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation - Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. If asset retirement obligations exist, they are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the asset and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. The useful lives of leasehold improvements are the lesser of the remaining lease term or the useful life of the improvement. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in income from operations for the period. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets, or in the case of assets under capital leases, over the related lease turn. Generally, the estimated useful lives of the assets are:
Costs related to routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Internally Developed Software - We capitalize certain costs associated with the development of internal-use software. Generally, these costs are related to significant software development projects and are amortized over their estimated useful life, typically three to five years, upon implementation of the software.
Intangible Assets - Intangible assets, excluding trademarks (which are considered to have an indefinite life), consist primarily of engineering drawings, patents, existing customer relationships, software, distribution networks and other items that are being amortized over their estimated useful lives generally ranging from three to 40 years. These assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.
Valuation of Goodwill, Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets - The value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets is tested for impairment as of December 31 each year or whenever events or circumstances indicate such assets may be impaired. The identification of our reporting units began at the operating segment level and considered whether components one level below the operating segment levels should be identified as reporting units for purpose of testing goodwill for impairment based on certain conditions. These conditions included, among other factors, (i) the extent to which a component represents a business and (ii) the aggregation of economically similar components within the operating segments and resulted in eight reporting units. Other factors that were considered in determining whether the aggregation of components was appropriate included the similarity of the nature of the products and services, the nature of the production processes, the methods of distribution and the types of industries served.
Impairment losses for goodwill are recognized whenever the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based on an income approach, whereby we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. A discounted cash flow analysis requires us to make various judgmental assumptions about future sales, operating margins, growth rates and discount rates, which are based on our budgets, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and market participants. Assumptions are also made for varying perpetual growth rates for periods beyond the long-term business plan period. We did not record an impairment of goodwill in 2012, 2011 or 2010.
We also consider our market capitalization in our evaluation of the fair value of our goodwill. Our market capitalization increased as compared with 2011 and did not indicate a potential impairment of our goodwill as of December 31, 2012.
Impairment losses for indefinite-lived intangible assets are recognized whenever the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value. Fair values are calculated for trademarks using a "relief from royalty" method, which estimates the fair value of the trademarks by determining the present value of estimated royalty payments that are avoided as a result of owning the trademark. This method includes judgmental assumptions about sales growth and discount rates that have a significant impact on the fair value and are substantially consistent with the assumptions used to determine the fair value of our reporting units discussed above. We did not record a material impairment of our trademarks in 2012, 2011 or 2010.
The net realizable value of other long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, is reviewed when indicators of potential impairments are present. The net realizable value is based upon an assessment of the estimated future cash flows related to those assets, utilizing a methodology similar to that for goodwill. Additional considerations related to our long-lived assets include expected maintenance and improvements, changes in expected uses and ongoing operating performance and utilization.
Deferred Loan Costs - Deferred loan costs, consisting of fees and other expenses associated with debt financing, are amortized over the term of the associated debt using the effective interest method. Additional amortization is recorded in periods where optional prepayments on debt are made.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments - Except for our senior notes, the carrying amounts of our financial instruments approximated fair value at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Hierarchical levels, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities. An asset or a liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation. Hierarchical levels are as follows:
Level I - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Level II - Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level I) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level III - Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.
Derivatives and Hedging Activities - We have a risk-management and derivatives policy outlining the conditions under which we can enter into financial derivative transactions. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values. The accounting for gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value depends on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting.
Forward Exchange Contracts -We employ a foreign currency economic hedging strategy to mitigate certain financial risks resulting from foreign currency exchange rate movements that impact foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, firm committed transactions and forecasted sales and purchases. As we have not elected to apply hedge accounting to these derivatives, the changes in the fair values are recognized currently in other (expense) income, net in the consolidated statements of income. See Note 6 for further discussion of forward exchange contracts.
Interest Rate Swaps - We enter into interest rate swap agreements for the purpose of hedging our cash flow exposure to floating interest rates on certain portions of our debt. We document the hedging relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, the risk management objective and strategy for entering into the hedges and the designation of the formal hedging relationship. We assess (both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis) whether the derivatives have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives may be expected to remain highly effective in future periods. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective, documented, designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge, to the extent that the hedge is effective, are recorded in other comprehensive loss until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is immediately recognized in earnings. No gain or loss due to ineffectiveness was recorded in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010. Upon settlement, realized gains and losses are recognized in interest expense in the consolidated statements of income.
We discontinue hedge accounting when (1) we deem the hedge to be ineffective and determine that the designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate; (2) the derivative no longer effectively offsets changes in the cash flows of a hedged item (such as firm commitments or contracts); (3) the derivative expires, terminates or is sold; or (4) occurrence of the contracted or committed transaction is no longer probable, or will not occur in the originally expected period.
When hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, we carry the derivative at its estimated fair value on the balance sheet, recognizing changes in the fair value in current period earnings. If a cash flow hedge becomes ineffective, any deferred gains or losses on the cash flow hedge remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the exposure relating to the item underlying the hedge is recognized. If it becomes probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will not occur, deferred gains or losses on the hedging instrument are recognized in earnings immediately.
Foreign Currency Translation - Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date, while income and expenses are translated at average rates for each month. Translation gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Transactional currency gains and losses arising from transactions in currencies other than our sites’ functional currencies are included in our consolidated results of operations.
Transaction and translation gains and losses arising from intercompany balances are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss when the underlying transaction stems from a long-term equity investment or from debt designated as not due in the foreseeable future. Otherwise, we recognize transaction gains and losses arising from intercompany transactions as a component of income. Where intercompany balances are not long-term investment related or not designated as due beyond the foreseeable future, we may mitigate risk associated with foreign currency fluctuations by entering into forward exchange contracts.
Stock-Based Compensation - Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant-date fair value. The exercise price of stock option awards and the value of restricted share, restricted share unit and performance-based unit awards (collectively referred to as "Restricted Shares") are set at the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant,
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
which is the date such grants are authorized by our Board of Directors. Restricted share units and performance-based units refer to restricted awards that do not have voting rights and accrue dividends, which are forfeited if vesting does not occur.
The intrinsic value of Restricted Shares, which is typically the product of share price at the date of grant and the number of Restricted Shares granted, is amortized on a straight-line basis to compensation expense over the periods in which the restrictions lapse based on the expected number of shares that will vest. The forfeiture rate is based on unvested Restricted Shares forfeited compared with original total Restricted Shares granted over a 4-year period, excluding significant forfeiture events that are not expected to recur.
Earnings Per Share - We use the two-class method of calculating Earnings Per Share ("EPS"), which determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security as if all earnings for the period had been distributed. Unvested restricted share awards that earn non-forfeitable dividend rights qualify as participating securities and, accordingly, are included in the basic computation as such. Our unvested restricted shares participate on an equal basis with common shares; therefore, there is no difference in undistributed earnings allocated to each participating security. Accordingly, the presentation below is prepared on a combined basis and is presented as earnings per common share. The following is a reconciliation of net earnings of Flowserve Corporation and weighted average shares for calculating basic net earnings per common share.
Earnings per weighted average common share outstanding was calculated as follows:
Diluted earnings per share above is based upon the weighted average number of shares as determined for basic earnings per share plus shares potentially issuable in conjunction with stock options, restricted share units and performance share units.
For each of the three years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we had no options to purchase common stock that were excluded from the computations of potentially dilutive securities because none were considered to be anti-dilutive.
Research and Development Expense - Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred. Aggregate research and development costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") were $38.9 million, $35.0 million and $29.5 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Costs incurred for research and development primarily include salaries and benefits and consumable supplies, as well as rent, professional fees, utilities and the depreciation of property and equipment used in research and development activities.

Accounting Developments
Pronouncements Implemented
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs," which clarifies the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in order to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"). The amendments do not result in a major change in the application of the requirements in Topic 820, but clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and change particular principles or requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Our adoption of ASU No. 2011-04, effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income," which specifies that an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This amendment also requires an entity to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05," to defer the requirement to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. Our adoption of ASU Nos. 2011-05 and 2011-12, effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment," which specifies that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Our adoption of ASU No. 2011-08, effective January 1, 2012, had no impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which requires enhanced disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 210-20-45, "Balance Sheet - Offsetting," or ASC 815-10-45, "Derivatives and Hedging - Overall," or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45. ASU No. 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2012. The disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-11 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," which specifies that an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Unless an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of such an asset is less than its carrying amount, it would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset in that year. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2012-02 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which limits the scope of ASU 2011-11 to derivatives, repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions to the extent that they are (1) offset in the financial statements or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU No. 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim period within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-01 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. ASU No. 2013-02 is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim period within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

ACQUISITIONS
Lawrence Pumps, Inc.
Effective October 28, 2011, we acquired for inclusion in the Engineered Product Division ("EPD"), 100% of Lawrence Pumps, Inc. ("LPI"), a privately-owned, U.S.-based pump manufacturer. The final purchase price of $88.2 million reflects immaterial adjustments to goodwill and current liabilities during 2012. LPI specializes in the design, development and manufacture of engineered centrifugal slurry pumps for critical services within the petroleum refining, petrochemical, pulp and paper and energy markets. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we deposited $1.5 million into escrow to be held and applied against any breach of representations, warranties or indemnities for 24 months. Additionally, we have the right to make indemnification claims up to 15% of the purchase price for 18 months. At the expiration of the escrow period, any residual amounts shall be released to the sellers in satisfaction of the purchase price.
The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of fair values at the date of acquisition and is summarized below:
The excess of the acquisition date fair value of the total purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the value expected to be obtained from the ability to be more competitive through the offering of a more complete pump product portfolio and from leveraging our current sales, distribution and service network. LPI products have proprietary niche applications that strategically complement our product portfolio. The goodwill related to this acquisition is recorded in the EPD segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Upon acquisition, existing customer relationships represent approximately $16 million of the intangible assets acquired and had an expected weighted average useful life of ten years. Total amortizable intangible assets had an expected weighted average useful life of ten years.
Subsequent to October 28, 2011, the revenues and expenses of LPI have been included in our consolidated statements of income. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality. LPI generated approximately $44 million in sales during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Valbart Srl
Effective July 16, 2010, we acquired for inclusion in Flow Control Division ("FCD"), 100% of Valbart Srl ("Valbart"), a privately-owned Italian valve manufacturer, in a share purchase for cash of $199.4 million, which included $33.8 million of existing Valbart net debt (defined as Valbart’s third party debt less cash on hand) that was repaid at closing. Valbart manufactures trunnion-mounted ball valves used primarily in upstream and midstream oil and gas applications, which enables us to offer a more complete valve product portfolio to our oil and gas project customers. The acquisition included Valbart’s portion of the joint venture with us that we entered into in December 2009 that was not operational during 2010. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, we deposited $5.8 million into escrow to be held and applied against any breach of representations, warranties or indemnities for 30 months. At the expiration of the escrow, any residual amounts shall be released to the sellers in satisfaction of the purchase price.

The goodwill related to this acquisition is recorded in the FCD segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Trademarks are indefinite-lived intangible assets. Upon acquisition, existing customer relationships, non-compete agreements and engineering drawings had expected weighted average useful lives of five years, four years and ten years, respectively. In total, amortizable intangible assets had a weighted average useful life of approximately five years.
Subsequent to July 16, 2010, the revenues and expenses of Valbart have been included in our consolidated statements of income. No pro forma information has been provided due to immateriality.

5.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
We established the Flowserve Corporation Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2010 Plan"), effective January 1, 2010. This shareholder-approved plan authorizes the issuance of up to 2,900,000 shares of our common stock in the form of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, Restricted Shares, stock appreciation rights and bonus stock. Of the 2,900,000 shares of common stock authorized under the 2010 Plan, 2,171,883 were available for issuance as of December 31, 2012. In addition to the 2010 Plan, we also maintain the Flowserve Corporation 2004 Stock Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”), which was established on April 21, 2004. The 2004 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 3,500,000 shares of common stock through grants of Restricted Shares, stock options and other equity-based awards. Of the 3,500,000 shares of common stock authorized under the 2004 Plan, 275,945 were available for issuance as of December 31, 2012.
Stock Options - Options granted to officers, other employees and directors allow for the purchase of common shares at the market value of our stock on the date the options are granted. Generally, options, whether granted under the 2004 Plan or other previously approved plans, become exercisable over a staggered period ranging from one to five years (most typically from one to three years). At December 31, 2012, all outstanding options were fully vested. Options generally expire 10 years from the date of the grant or within a short period of time following the termination of employment or cessation of services by an option holder. No options were granted during 2012, 2011 or 2010. Information related to stock options issued to officers, other employees and directors prior to 2010 under all plans is presented in the following table:
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
Additional information relating to the ranges of options outstanding at December 31, 2012, is as follows:
As of December 31, 2012, we had no unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock option awards.
The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 3.3 years and 3.7 years, respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $0.7 million, $1.5 million and $8.6 million, respectively. No stock options vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
Restricted Shares - Generally, the restrictions on Restricted Shares do not expire for a minimum of one year and a maximum of three years, and shares are subject to forfeiture during the restriction period. Most typically, Restricted Share grants have staggered vesting periods over one to three years from grant date. The intrinsic value of the Restricted Shares, which is typically the product of share price at the date of grant and the number of Restricted Shares granted, is amortized on a straight-line basis to compensation expense over the periods in which the restrictions lapse.
Unearned compensation is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of the Restricted Shares. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had $30.4 million and $27.0 million, respectively, of unearned compensation cost related to unvested Restricted Shares, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately one year. These amounts will be recognized into net earnings in prospective periods as the awards vest. The total fair value of Restricted Shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $36.4 million, $35.1 million and $31.9 million, respectively.
We recorded stock-based compensation for restricted shares as follows:
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The following table summarizes information regarding Restricted Shares:
Unvested Restricted Shares outstanding as of December 31, 2012, includes approximately 317,000 units with performance-based vesting provisions. Performance-based units are issuable in common stock and vest upon the achievement of pre-defined performance targets, primarily based on our average annual return on net assets over a three-year period as compared with the same measure for a defined peer group for the same period. Most units were granted in three annual grants since January 1, 2010 and have a vesting percentage between 0% and 200% depending on the achievement of the specific performance targets. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over a cliff-vesting period of 36 months based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, as adjusted for anticipated forfeitures. During the performance period, earned and unearned compensation expense is adjusted based on changes in the expected achievement of the performance targets. Vesting provisions range from 0 to approximately 627,000 shares based on performance targets. As of December 31, 2012, we estimate vesting of approximately 506,000 shares based on expected achievement of performance targets.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Our risk management and derivatives policy specifies the conditions under which we may enter into derivative contracts. See Note 1 for additional information on our purpose for entering into derivatives not designated as hedging instruments and our overall risk management strategies. We enter into forward exchange contracts to hedge our risks associated with transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency of the operation engaging in the transaction. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had $608.9 million and $481.2 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding forward exchange contracts with third parties. At December 31, 2012, the length of forward exchange contracts currently in place ranged from 2 days to 29 months.
Also as part of our risk management program, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to hedge exposure to floating interest rates on certain portions of our debt. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had $275.0 million and $330.0 million, respectively, of notional amount in outstanding interest rate swaps with third parties. All interest rate swaps are 100% effective. At December 31, 2012, the maximum remaining length of any interest rate contract in place was approximately 30 months.
We are exposed to risk from credit-related losses resulting from nonperformance by counterparties to our financial instruments. We perform credit evaluations of our counterparties under forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements and expect all counterparties to meet their obligations. We have not experienced credit losses from our counterparties.
The fair value of forward exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments are summarized below:

The impact of net changes in the fair values of forward exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments are summarized below:
The impact of net changes in the fair values of interest rate swaps in cash flow hedging relationships are summarized below:
We expect to recognize losses of $1.0 million, $0.5 million and $0.2 million, net of deferred taxes, into earnings in 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively, related to interest rate swap agreements based on their fair values at December 31, 2012.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our financial instruments are presented at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models may be applied. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Recurring fair value measurements are limited to investments in derivative instruments and some equity securities. The fair value measurements of our derivative instruments are determined using models that maximize the use of the observable market inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies, and are classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of our derivatives are included above in Note 6. The fair value measurements of our investments in equity securities are determined using quoted market prices and are classified as Level I. The fair values of our investments in equity securities, and changes thereto, are immaterial to our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
The fair value of our debt, excluding the Senior Notes, as defined below in Note 10, was estimated using interest rates on similar debt recently issued by companies with credit metrics similar to ours and is classified as Level II under the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of our debt is included in Note 10, and except for the Senior Notes, approximates fair value. The estimated fair value of our Senior Notes at December 31, 2012 was $502.7 million compared to the carrying value of $498.1 million. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes is based on Level I quoted market rates. The carrying amounts of our other
financial instruments (e.g., accounts receivable, net and accounts payable) approximated fair value at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

DEBT AND LEASE OBLIGATIONS
Debt, including capital lease obligations, consisted of:
Scheduled maturities of the Senior Credit Facility (as described below), as well as our Senior Notes and other debt, are:
Senior Notes
On September 11, 2012, we completed the public offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due September 15, 2022 ("Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes bear an interest rate of 3.50% per year, payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2013. The Senior Notes were priced at 99.615% of par value, reflecting a discount to the aggregate principal amount.
At any time prior to June 15, 2022, we have the right to redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes being redeemed; or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest in respect of the Senior Notes being redeemed discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, at the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points. In addition, at any time on or after June 15, 2022, we may redeem the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
the Senior Notes being redeemed. In each case, we will also pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.
The Senior Notes are unsecured and are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries that are guarantors under our Senior Credit Facility (described below). The guarantees will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged when: the guarantor subsidiary is sold or sells all of its assets; the requirement for legal or covenant defeasance or to discharge our obligations has been satisfied; or upon the delivery of an officer's certificate to the trustee that such guarantor subsidiary does not guarantee our obligations under our Senior Credit Facility. The Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our other senior unsecured indebtedness.
We used a portion of the net proceeds of the Senior Notes offering to repay the $250.0 million outstanding principal balance on the Bridge Loan (described below). We used the remaining portion of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repayment of the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility (described below) and the repurchase of shares of our common stock (as discussed in Note 15).
Senior Credit Facility
On August 20, 2012, we entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as swingline lender, letter of credit issuer and administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (together, the “Lenders”), providing for term debt and a revolving credit facility. The credit agreement provides for an aggregate commitment of $1.25 billion, including a $400.0 million term loan facility with a maturity date of August 20, 2017 (“Term Loan Facility”) and an $850.0 million revolving credit facility with a maturity date of August 20, 2017 (“Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $300.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $30.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. Subject to certain conditions, we have the right to increase the amount of the Term Loan Facility or the Revolving Credit Facility by an aggregate amount not to exceed $250.0 million. Our obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. The Lenders have agreed to release such guarantees if we achieve certain credit ratings. We had not achieved these ratings as of December 31, 2012.
We used all of the $400.0 million proceeds advanced under the Term Loan Facility, along with approximately $217 million advanced under the Revolving Credit Facility, to repay all outstanding indebtedness under our then-existing term loan and revolving credit facility (“Prior Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to our then-existing credit agreement dated as of December 14, 2010, as amended (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). In connection with this repayment, our outstanding letters of credit under the Prior Credit Agreement were transferred to the Revolving Credit Facility, and we terminated the Prior Credit Agreement on August 20, 2012. Future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be subject to various conditions, including the absence of any default under the Senior Credit Facility.
At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility or the Prior Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. We had outstanding letters of credit of $152.2 million and $147.4 million at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which reduced our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility and Prior Revolving Credit Facility to $697.8 million and $352.6 million, respectively.
The Senior Credit Facility contains, among other things, covenants defining our and our subsidiaries' ability to dispose of assets, merge, pay dividends, repurchase or redeem capital stock and indebtedness, incur indebtedness and guarantees, create liens, enter into agreements with negative pledge clauses, make certain investments or acquisitions, enter into transactions with affiliates or engage in any business activity other than our existing business. The Senior Credit Facility requires us to have a maximum permitted leverage ratio of 3.25 times debt to total Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) and a minimum interest coverage of 3.25 times Consolidated EBITDA to total interest expense. Our compliance with these financial covenants under the Senior Credit Facility is tested quarterly. We were in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2012.
Repayment of Obligations -We may prepay loans under our Senior Credit Facility in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time. A commitment fee, which is payable quarterly on the daily unused portions of the Senior Credit Facility, was 0.225% during the period ended December 31, 2012. We made scheduled principal repayments of $5.0 million under our Senior Credit Facility and $12.5 million under our Prior Credit Agreement in 2012. We made scheduled principal repayments under our Prior Credit Agreement and previous credit agreement of $25.0 million, and $4.3 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. We have scheduled principal repayments of $5.0 million due in each of the next three quarters and $10.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 under our Senior Credit Facility. Our Senior Credit Facility bears a floating rate of interest, and we have entered into $275.0 million of notional amount of interest rate swaps at December 31, 2012 to hedge exposure to floating interest rates.

Bridge Loan
On June 15, 2012, we entered into a loan agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto, providing for a term loan with an aggregate commitment of $250.0 million for a term of 364 days (“Bridge Loan”). The proceeds from the Bridge Loan were used to fund our share repurchase program described in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. The Bridge Loan was repaid in its entirety in the third quarter of 2012 using a portion of the net proceeds from the Senior Notes offering.
European Letter of Credit Facilities
On October 30, 2009, we entered into a new 364-day unsecured European Letter of Credit Facility ("European LOC Facility") with an initial commitment of €125.0 million. The European LOC Facility is renewable annually and is used for contingent obligations in respect of surety and performance bonds, bank guarantees and similar obligations with maturities up to five years. We renewed the European LOC Facility in October 2012 for an additional 364-day period and amended certain provisions to conform to those in our Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Notes. We pay fees between 1.00% and 1.35% for utilized capacity and 0.35% for unutilized capacity under our European LOC Facility. We had outstanding letters of credit drawn on the European LOC Facility of €63.1 million ($83.3 million) and €81.0 million ($105.0 million) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Our ability to issue additional letters of credit under our previous European Letter of Credit Facility ("Old European LOC Facility"), which had a commitment of €110.0 million, expired November 9, 2009. We paid annual and fronting fees of 0.875% and 0.10%, respectively, for letters of credit written against the Old European LOC Facility. We had no outstanding letters of credit written against the Old European LOC Facility as of December 31, 2012 and €12.2 million ($15.8 million) as of December 31, 2011. The available capacity under the European LOC Facility was €61.9 million ($81.7 million) as of December 31, 2012.
Our European letter of credit facilities contain covenants restricting the ability of certain foreign subsidiaries to issue debt, incur liens, sell assets, merge, consolidate, make certain investments, pay dividends, enter into agreements with negative pledge clauses or engage in any business activity other than our existing business. The European LOC Facility also incorporates by reference the covenants contained in our Senior Credit Facility. We were in compliance with all covenants under our European LOC Facility as of December 31, 2012.
Operating Leases
We have non-cancelable operating leases for certain offices, service and quick response centers, certain manufacturing and operating facilities, machinery, equipment and automobiles. Rental expense relating to operating leases was $63.6 million, $52.8 million and $46.9 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The future minimum lease payments due under non-cancelable operating leases are (amounts in thousands):

PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
We sponsor several noncontributory defined benefit pension plans, covering substantially all U.S. employees and certain non-U.S. employees, which provide benefits based on years of service, age, job grade levels and type of compensation. Retirement benefits for all other covered employees are provided through contributory pension plans, cash balance pension plans and government-sponsored retirement programs. All funded defined benefit pension plans receive funding based on independent actuarial valuations to provide for current service and an amount sufficient to amortize unfunded prior service over periods not to exceed 30 years, with funding falling within the legal limits prescribed by prevailing regulation. We also maintain unfunded defined benefit plans that, as permitted by local regulations, receive funding only when benefits become due.
Our defined benefit plan strategy is to ensure that current and future benefit obligations are adequately funded in a cost-effective manner. Additionally, our investing objective is to achieve the highest level of investment performance that is compatible with our risk tolerance and prudent investment practices. Because of the long-term nature of our defined benefit plan liabilities, our funding strategy is based on a long-term perspective for formulating and implementing investment policies and evaluating their investment performance.
The asset allocation of our defined benefit plans reflect our decision about the proportion of the investment in equity and fixed income securities, and, where appropriate, the various sub-asset classes of each. At least annually, we complete a comprehensive review of our asset allocation policy and the underlying assumptions, which includes our long-term capital markets rate of return assumptions and our risk tolerances relative to our defined benefit plan liabilities.
The expected rates of return on defined benefit plan assets are derived from review of the asset allocation strategy, expected long-term performance of asset classes, risks and other factors adjusted for our specific investment strategy. These rates are impacted by changes in general market conditions, but because they are long-term in nature, short-term market changes do not significantly impact the rates.
Our U.S. defined benefit plan assets consist of a balanced portfolio of primarily U.S. equity and fixed income securities. Our non-U.S. defined benefit plan assets include a significant concentration of United Kingdom ("U.K.") equity and fixed income securities. We monitor investment allocations and manage plan assets to maintain acceptable levels of risk. In addition, certain of our defined benefit plans hold investments in European equity and fixed income securities.
For all periods presented, we used a measurement date of December 31 for each of our U.S. and non-U.S. pension and postretirement medical plans.
U.S. Defined Benefit Plans - We maintain qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. The qualified plan provides coverage for substantially all full-time U.S. employees who receive benefits, up to an earnings threshold specified by the U.S. Department of Labor. The non-qualified plans primarily cover a small number of employees including current and former members of senior management, providing them with benefit levels equivalent to other participants, but that are otherwise limited by U.S. Department of Labor rules. The U.S. plans are designed to operate as "cash balance" arrangements, under which the employee has the option to take a lump sum payment at the end of their service. The total accumulated benefit obligation is equivalent to the total projected benefit obligation ("Benefit Obligation").
The following are assumptions related to the U.S. defined benefit pension plans:
At December 31, 2012 as compared with December 31, 2011, we decreased our discount rate from 4.50% to 3.75% based on an analysis of publicly-traded investment grade U.S. corporate bonds, which had a lower yield due to current market conditions. At December 31, 2012 as compared with December 31, 2011 our average assumed rate of compensation increase remained constant at 4.25%. In determining 2012 expense, the expected rate of return on U.S. plan assets remained consistent with 2011 at 6.25%,

Net pension expense for the U.S. defined benefit pension plans (including both qualified and non-qualified plans) was:
The estimated prior service benefit and the estimated net loss for the U.S. defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into pension expense in 2013 is less than $0.1 million and $13.8 million, respectively. We amortize estimated prior service benefits and estimated net losses over the remaining expected service period.

The following is a reconciliation of the U.S. defined benefit pension plans’ assets:
We contributed $7.9 million and $8.9 million to the U.S. defined benefit pension plans during 2012 and 2011, respectively. These payments exceeded the minimum funding requirements mandated by the U.S. Department of Labor rules. Our estimated contribution in 2013 is expected to be approximately $20 million, excluding direct benefits paid.

All U.S. defined benefit plan assets are held by the qualified plan. The asset allocations for the qualified plan at the end of 2012 and 2011 by asset category, are as follows:
_______________________________________
(1)
Less than 1% of holdings are in the Other category in 2011.
None of our common stock is directly held by our qualified plan. Our investment strategy is to earn a long-term rate of return consistent with an acceptable degree of risk and minimize our cash contributions over the life of the plan, while taking into account the liquidity needs of the plan. We preserve capital through diversified investments in high quality securities. Our current allocation target is to invest approximately 50% of plan assets in equity securities and 50% in fixed income securities. Within each investment category, assets are allocated to various investment strategies. A professional money management firm manages our assets, and we engage a consultant to assist in evaluating these activities. We periodically review the allocation target, generally in conjunction with an asset and liability study and in consideration of our future cash flow needs. We regularly rebalance the actual allocation to our target investment allocation.
Plan assets are invested in commingled funds and the individual funds are actively managed with the intent to outperform specified benchmarks. Our "Pension and Investment Committee" is responsible for setting the investment strategy and the target asset allocation, as well as selecting individual funds. As the qualified plan approached fully funded status, we implemented a Liability-Driven Investing ("LDI") strategy, which more closely aligns the duration of the assets with the duration of the liabilities. An LDI strategy will result in an asset portfolio that more closely matches the behavior of the liability, thereby protecting the funded status of the plan.

The following are assumptions related to the non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans:
At December 31, 2012 as compared with December 31, 2011, we decreased our average discount rate for non-U.S. plans from 5.09% to 4.16% based primarily on lower applicable corporate AA bond yields for the Euro zone and the U.K. In determining 2012 expense, we decreased our average expected rate of return on plan assets from 6.13% at December 31, 2011 to 5.78% at December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of a decrease in the expected return on long-term bond yields. As the expected rate of return on plan assets is long-term in nature, short-term market changes do not significantly impact the rates.
Many of our non-U.S. defined benefit plans are unfunded, as permitted by local regulation. The expected long-term rate of return on assets for funded plans was determined by assessing the rates of return for each asset class and is calculated using a quantitative approach that utilizes unadjusted historical returns and asset allocation as inputs for the calculation. We work with our actuaries to determine the reasonableness of our long-term rate of return assumptions by looking at several factors including historical returns, expected future returns, asset allocation, risks by asset class and other items.
Net pension expense for non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was:
The estimated net loss for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into non-U.S. pension expense in 2013 is $6.6 million. We amortize estimated net losses over the remaining expected service period or over the remaining expected lifetime of inactive participants for plans with only inactive participants.

Asset allocation differs by plan based upon the plan’s Benefit Obligation to participants, as well as the results of asset and liability studies that are conducted for each plan and in consideration of our future cash flow needs. Professional money management firms manage plan assets and we engage consultants in the U.K. and The Netherlands to assist in evaluation of these activities. The assets of the U.K. plans are overseen by a group of Trustees who review the investment strategy, asset allocation and fund selection.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans with Accumulated Benefit Obligations in Excess of Plan Assets - The following summarizes key pension plan information regarding U.S. and non-U.S. plans whose accumulated benefit obligations exceed the fair value of their respective plan assets.
Postretirement Medical Plans - We sponsor several defined benefit postretirement medical plans covering certain current retirees and a limited number of future retirees in the U.S. These plans provide for medical and dental benefits and are administered through insurance companies and health maintenance organizations. The plans include participant contributions, deductibles, co-insurance provisions and other limitations and are integrated with Medicare and other group plans. We fund the plans as benefits and health maintenance organization premiums are paid, such that the plans hold no assets in any period presented. Accordingly, we have no investment strategy or targeted allocations for plan assets. Benefits under our postretirement medical plans are not available to new employees or most existing employees.
The following are assumptions related to postretirement benefits:
The assumed ranges for the annual rates of increase in medical costs used to determine net expense were 8.0% for 2012, 8.5% for 2011 and 9.0% for 2010, with a gradual decrease to 5.0% for 2032 and future years.
Net postretirement benefit income for postretirement medical plans was:
No estimated prior service benefit or cost is expected to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into U.S. pension expense in 2013. The estimated net gain for postretirement medical plans that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into U.S. expense in 2013 is $1.2 million.

Accordingly, contributions during any period are directly correlated to the benefits paid.

LEGAL MATTERS AND CONTINGENCIES
Asbestos-Related Claims
We are a defendant in a substantial number of lawsuits that seek to recover damages for personal injury allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured and/or distributed by our heritage companies in the past. While the overall number of asbestos-related claims has generally declined in recent years, there can be no assurance that this trend will continue, or that the average cost per claim will not further increase. Asbestos-containing materials incorporated into any such products were primarily encapsulated and used as internal components of process equipment, and we do not believe that any significant emission of asbestos fibers occurred during the use of this equipment.
Our practice is to vigorously contest and resolve these claims, and we have been successful in resolving a majority of claims with little or no payment. Historically, a high percentage of resolved claims have been covered by applicable insurance or indemnities from other companies, and we believe that a substantial majority of existing claims should continue to be covered by insurance or indemnities. Accordingly, we have recorded a liability for our estimate of the most likely settlement of asserted claims and a related receivable from insurers or other companies for our estimated recovery, to the extent we believe that the amounts of recovery are probable and not otherwise in dispute. While unfavorable rulings, judgments or settlement terms regarding these claims could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, we currently believe the likelihood is remote. Additionally, we have claims pending against certain insurers that, if resolved more favorably than reflected in the recorded receivables, would result in discrete gains in the applicable quarter. We are currently unable to estimate the impact, if any, of unasserted asbestos-related claims, although future claims would also be subject to then existing indemnities and insurance coverage.

United Nations Oil-for-Food Program
In mid-2006, French authorities began an investigation of over 170 French companies, of which one of our French subsidiaries was included, concerning suspected inappropriate activities conducted in connection with the United Nations Oil for Food Program. As previously disclosed, the French investigation of our French subsidiary was formally opened in the first quarter of 2010, and our French subsidiary filed a formal response with the French Court. In July 2012, the French Court ruled against our procedural motions to challenge the constitutionality of the charges and quash the indictment. While the French Court ruling is currently proceeding through a formal review process, we currently do not expect to incur additional case resolution costs of a material amount in this matter. However, if the French authorities take enforcement action against our French subsidiary regarding its investigation, we may be subject to monetary and non-monetary penalties, which we currently do not believe will have a material adverse financial impact on our company.
In addition to the governmental investigation referenced above, on June 27, 2008, the Republic of Iraq filed a civil suit in federal court in New York against 93 participants in the United Nations Oil-for-Food Program, including us and our two foreign subsidiaries that participated in the program. On February 6, 2013 the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a ruling that dismissed the suit with prejudice. On February 15, 2013 the plaintiff appealed the District Court's ruling. We will continue to vigorously contest the suit, and we believe that we have valid defenses to the claims asserted. We do not currently believe the resolution of this suit will have a material adverse financial impact on our company.
Other
We are currently involved as a potentially responsible party at five former public waste disposal sites in various stages of evaluation or remediation. The projected cost of remediation at these sites, as well as our alleged "fair share" allocation, will remain uncertain until all studies have been completed and the parties have either negotiated an amicable resolution or the matter has been judicially resolved. At each site, there are many other parties who have similarly been identified. Many of the other parties identified are financially strong and solvent companies that appear able to pay their share of the remediation costs. Based on our information about the waste disposal practices at these sites and the environmental regulatory process in general, we believe that it is likely that ultimate remediation liability costs for each site will be apportioned among all liable parties, including site owners and waste transporters, according to the volumes and/or toxicity of the wastes shown to have been disposed of at the sites. We believe that our financial exposure for existing disposal sites will not be materially in excess of accrued reserves.
We are also a defendant in a number of other lawsuits, including product liability claims, that are insured, subject to the applicable deductibles, arising in the ordinary course of business, and we are also involved in other uninsured routine litigation incidental to our business. We currently believe none of such litigation, either individually or in the aggregate, is material to our business, operations or overall financial condition. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable, and resolutions or dispositions of claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the reporting period in which any such resolution or disposition occurs.
Although none of the aforementioned potential liabilities can be quantified with absolute certainty except as otherwise indicated above, we have established reserves covering exposures relating to contingencies, to the extent believed to be reasonably estimable and probable based on past experience and available facts. While additional exposures beyond these reserves could exist, they currently cannot be estimated. We will continue to evaluate and update the reserves as necessary and appropriate.

Any subsequent dividends will be reviewed by our Board of Directors and declared in its discretion dependent on its assessment of our financial situation and business outlook at the applicable time.
Share Repurchase Program - On May 31, 2012, we announced that our Board of Directors endorsed an updated capital structure strategy. A part of this capital structure strategy includes returning additional capital more quickly to shareholders through an expanded share repurchase program of $1.0 billion. The $1.0 billion share repurchase program authorization included approximately $233 million of remaining capacity under our prior share repurchase program, which was originally approved by our Board of Directors on September 12, 2011 and replenished on December 15, 2011. On February 19, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a $750 million share repurchase authorization, which included approximately $193 million of remaining capacity under the $1.0 billion share repurchase authorization. Our share repurchase program does not have an expiration date, and we reserve the right to limit or terminate the repurchase program at anytime without notice.
As a part of the $1.0 billion share repurchase program, on June 14, 2012, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase program (“ASR Program”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as agent for JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, under which we agreed to repurchase an aggregate of $300.0 million of our common stock. Under the ASR Program, we paid $300.0 million and received an initial delivery of 2,260,738 shares, representing 80% of the ASR Program's value at the then-current share price. The remaining 20% of the ASR Program's value was delivered on December 12, 2012 at program settlement, which resulted in us receiving an additional 153,659 shares. The total 2,414,397 shares repurchased under the ASR Program were based on the volume-weighted average price of $126.93, which was our average common stock price during the repurchase period, less an agreed upon discount.
Inclusive of the total shares of 2,414,397 delivered under the ASR Program, we repurchased 6,212,780, 1,482,833 and 450,000 shares for $771.9 million, $150.0 million and $46.0 million during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, we have $285.7 million of remaining capacity under our current share repurchase program.

INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes consists of the following:
The expected cash payments for the current income tax expense for 2012, 2011 and 2010 were reduced by $11.0 million, $5.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively, as a result of tax deductions related to the exercise of non-qualified employee stock
FLOWSERVE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
options and the vesting of restricted stock. The income tax benefit resulting from these stock-based compensation plans has increased capital in excess of par value.
The provision for income taxes differs from the statutory corporate rate due to the following:
The 2012, 2011 and 2010 effective tax rates differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the net impact of foreign operations, which included the impacts of lower foreign tax rates and changes in our reserves established for uncertain tax positions.
We assert permanent reinvestment on the majority of invested capital and unremitted foreign earnings in our foreign subsidiaries. However, we do not assert permanent reinvestment on a limited number of foreign subsidiaries where future distributions may occur. The cumulative amount of undistributed earnings considered permanently reinvested is $1.6 billion. Should these permanently reinvested earnings be repatriated in a future period in the form of dividends or otherwise, our provision for income taxes may increase materially in that period. During each of the three years reported in the period ended December 31, 2012, we have not recognized any net deferred tax assets attributable to excess foreign tax credits on unremitted earnings or foreign currency translation adjustments in our foreign subsidiaries with excess financial reporting basis.
For those subsidiaries where permanent reinvestment was not asserted, we had cash and deemed dividend distributions that resulted in the recognition of $2.3 million of income tax expense in the year ended December 31, 2012 and $9.5 million and $8.2 million of income tax benefit during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As we have not recorded a benefit for the excess foreign tax credits associated with deemed repatriation of unremitted earnings, these credits are not available to offset the liability associated with these dividends.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the consolidated deferred tax assets and liabilities were:

We have $163.4 million of U.S. and foreign net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2012. Of this total, $44.5 million are state net operating losses. Net operating losses generated in the U.S., if unused, will expire in 2013 through 2027. The majority of our non-U.S. net operating losses carry forward without expiration. Additionally, we have $31.4 million of foreign tax credit carryforwards at December 31, 2012, expiring in 2020 and 2021 for which no valuation allowance reserves have been recorded.
Earnings before income taxes comprised:

A tabular reconciliation of the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows (in millions):
The amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2012 was $77.6 million, which includes $18.5 million of accrued interest and penalties. Of this amount $55.0 million, if recognized, would favorably impact our effective tax rate. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 we recognized net interest and penalty income of $2.9 million, $1.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, in our consolidated statement of income.
With limited exception, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax audits for years through 2010, state and local income tax audits for years through 2008 or non-U.S. income tax audits for years through 2005. We are currently under examination for various years in India, Italy, Singapore, the U.S., Venezuela and Vietnam.
It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months the effective tax rate will be impacted by the resolution of some or all of the matters audited by various taxing authorities. It is also reasonably possible that we will have the statute of limitations close in various taxing jurisdictions within the next 12 months. As such, we estimate we could record a reduction in our tax expense up to approximately $14 million within the next 12 months.

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Our business segments, defined below, share a focus on industrial flow control technology and have a high number of common customers. These segments also have complementary product offerings and technologies that are often combined in applications that provide us a net competitive advantage. Our segments also benefit from our global footprint and our economies of scale in reducing administrative and overhead costs to serve customers more cost effectively.
We conduct our operations through these three business segments based on type of product and how we manage the business:
•
EPD for long lead time, custom and other highly-engineered pumps and pump systems, mechanical seals, auxiliary systems and replacement parts and related services;
•
Industrial Product Division ("IPD") for engineered and pre-configured industrial pumps and pump systems and related products and services; and
•
FCD for engineered and industrial valves, control valves, actuators and controls and related services.
For decision-making purposes, our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and other members of senior executive management use financial information generated and reported at the reportable segment level. Our corporate headquarters does not constitute a separate division or business segment. On January 11, 2012, a new unified operational leadership structure was announced resulting in the creation of a Chief Operating Officer position. The creation of this position did not impact how we have defined the above three business segments or our assessment of our CEO as the chief operating decision maker.
We evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on each reportable segment’s operating income. Amounts classified as "Eliminations and All Other" include corporate headquarters costs and other minor entities that do not constitute separate segments. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost plus a profit margin, with the sales and related margin on such sales eliminated in consolidation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
The following is a summary of the financial information of our reportable segments as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 reconciled to the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.
_______________________________________

The changes in identifiable assets for "Eliminations and All Other" in 2012, 2011 and 2010 are primarily a result of changes in cash balances.
Geographic Information - We attribute sales to different geographic areas based on the facilities’ locations. Long-lived assets are classified based on the geographic area in which the assets are located and exclude deferred tax assets categorized as noncurrent. Sales and long-lived assets by geographic area are as follows:

Germany accounted for approximately 8% of 2012, 9% of 2011 and 9% of 2010 consolidated sales, and Italy accounted for approximately 10% of consolidated long-lived assets in both 2012 and 2011. No other individual country within this group represents 10% or more of consolidated totals for any period presented.

Foreign currency translation adjustments in 2012 primarily represents the strengthening of the Euro, Mexican peso and Indian rupee exchange rate versus the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2012 as compared with December 31, 2011. Foreign currency translation adjustments in 2011 primarily represents the strengthening of the U.S. dollar exchange rate versus the Euro and the British pound at December 31, 2011 as compared with December 31, 2010.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 8, 2013, the Venezuelan government announced its intention to devalue its currency (bolivar) from 4.3 to 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. Our operations in Venezuela generally consist of a service center that performs service and repair activities. In addition, certain of our operations in other countries sell equipment and parts that are typically denominated in U.S. dollars directly to Venezuelan customers. Our Venezuelan subsidiary's sales in 2012 and total assets at December 31, 2012 represented less than 1% of consolidated sales and total assets for the same period. We are currently assessing the ongoing impact of the currency devaluation on our Venezuelan operations and imports into the market, including further actions of the Venezuelan government and economic conditions in Venezuela, such as inflation and capital spending.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) are designed to ensure that the information, which we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the United States ("U.S.") Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Annual Report") for the year ended December 31, 2012, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012. Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2012.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with existing policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, our management conducted an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
