“We delivered strong sequential earnings and margin improvement in the second quarter, supported by solid operational execution and continued efforts to mitigate ongoing supply chain and inflationary headwinds,” said Scott Rowe, Flowserve’s president and chief executive officer. “With our strong customer relationships and comprehensive flow control portfolio, we continued to capitalize on healthy demand across our served markets, which drove solid bookings growth, particularly within our aftermarket and MRO-focused businesses. We expect improved demand for both our traditional energy and energy transition offerings to continue in the quarters ahead, as our project funnel continues to grow.”

Rowe concluded, “Flowserve is well positioned to deliver further revenue and earnings growth in the second half of the year. These expectations are driven by our highest backlog since 2015 and our belief that supportive end-markets will continue, particularly for energy, chemical and power investments. Our 3D strategy to diversify, decarbonize and digitize has gained significant traction year-to-date, with strong first half bookings exceeding our targets, particularly as a result of strength in decarbonization and energy transition projects. Looking forward, we will continue to take action to mitigate external headwinds while we focus on accelerating our backlog conversion and margin expansion. We expect to build on our progress and exit 2022 with positive momentum, positioning us well to deliver substantial long-term value to our customers, shareholders and associates.”

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