Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 28, 2025, Flowserve Corporation, a New York corporation (”Parent”), issued a press release announcing financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results

On October 29, 2025, Parent will make a presentation about its financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2025, as noted in the press release described in Item 2.02 above. Parent has posted the presentation on its website at http://www.flowserve.com under the “Investors” section.

Flowserve Divests Legacy Asbestos Liabilities

On October 28, 2025, Parent and its wholly owned subsidiaries Flowserve International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FL International”), Flowserve US Company, a Delaware statutory trust (“FL US Company” and together with Parent and FL International, the “Sellers”) and BW/IP – New Mexico, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to permanently divest all of their legacy asbestos liabilities by selling the Company, which holds these liabilities and the related insurance and deferred tax assets (the “Divestiture”). The Divestiture will be made to Ajax HoldCo LLC (“Buyer”), an affiliate of Acorn Investment Partners, a portfolio company of funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management L.P.

Closing of the Divestiture is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2025. At closing of the Divestiture, the Company will be capitalized with the related assets and a total of approximately $219,000,000 in cash, of which Parent will contribute $199,000,000 and Buyer will contribute $20,000,000. In connection with the Divestiture, the board of directors of each Seller has received a solvency opinion from an independent advisory firm that will form the basis (along with other inputs) for its determination that the Company is solvent and adequately capitalized as of the date of, and after giving effect to the consummation of, the Divestiture.

As a result of the Divestiture, the divested asbestos liabilities and related insurance assets will be removed from Parent’s consolidated balance sheet. Following the closing of the Divestiture, Buyer will assume management of the Company, including the management of its claims and insurance policy reimbursements.

On October 28, 2025, Parent issued a press release announcing entry into the Purchase Agreement in connection with the Divestiture, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.

Parent believes the Divestiture will provide greater long-term financial certainty for Parent’s investors and will enable Parent to continue to focus on organic and inorganic investments to advance its capabilities and expand its addressable markets, while ensuring responsible stewardship of the legacy asbestos liabilities.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC has acted as exclusive financial advisor to Sellers in connection with the Divestiture, and Baker McKenzie LLP has acted as legal counsel.

The information furnished in Items 2.02 and 7.01 of this Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.

“Flowserve delivered another quarter of exceptional performance highlighted by strong revenue growth, significant margin and earnings expansion, and robust cash generation. This performance enabled us to repurchase over $140 million shares during the quarter. Consistent execution of our strategy has enabled us to maintain momentum, led by the strength of our aftermarket franchise and a resurgent Power and Nuclear end market fueled by growth of AI, increasing data center development, and broader electrification trends. We remain focused on leveraging the Flowserve Business System and our 80/20 initiatives to accelerate margin expansion, deliver outsized growth, and execute with excellence,” said Scott Rowe, Flowserve’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Rowe continued, “Following three consecutive quarters of strong execution and performance, we are increasing our full-year earnings outlook. Our revised outlook represents a substantial year-over-year improvement, reinforces our confidence in the trajectory of the business, and marks an important step toward achieving our long-term targets and delivering sustained value for our shareholders.”

FLOWSERVE DIVESTS LEGACY ASBESTOS LIABILITIES

 

 

Divestiture includes all asbestos liabilities, related insurance assets, and associated deferred tax assets

 

 

Simplifies capital structure, reduces volatility, and strengthens cash flow generation

 

 

Improves flexibility for capital allocation toward strategic growth opportunities

DALLAS - (BUSINESS WIRE)—October 28, 2025 - Flowserve Corporation (NYSE:FLS) (“Flowserve” or the “Company”), a leading provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, has reached an agreement to divest BW/IP - New Mexico, Inc. (“BW/IP”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that holds asbestos liabilities and related insurance assets, to an affiliate of Acorn Investment Partners (“Acorn”), a portfolio company of funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management L.P.

Under the terms of the agreement, Acorn will assume full responsibility for BW/IP and its administration and resolution of all current and future asbestos-related claims associated with the acquired liabilities. As a result of the transaction, Flowserve will permanently divest these liabilities, enabling the Company to simplify its capital structure and focus its future capital allocation towards value enhancing opportunities.

At closing, Flowserve will have no further financial exposure to the transferred liabilities, which will be fully managed and administered by Acorn, and for which Flowserve will be fully indemnified.

Transaction Overview

Acorn will acquire 100% of the equity in BW/IP. At closing of the transaction, BW/IP will be capitalized with the related insurance assets and a total of approximately $219 million in cash, of which Flowserve will contribute $199 million in cash and Acorn will contribute $20 million in cash. As a result of the transaction, Flowserve will remove all asbestos liabilities, related insurance assets, and associated deferred tax assets from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The estimated impact of the divestiture will be a one-time loss of approximately $135 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, including certain transaction related costs, and subject to customary closing adjustments as of the final close date. The one-time loss will be excluded from adjusted earnings per share.

The transaction, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, will improve free cash flow by approximately $15 million to $20 million annually.

Third Quarter Earnings Webcast and Conference Call Instructions

Flowserve will host its quarterly earnings conference call to discuss third quarter results on Wednesday, October 29, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The call can be accessed by shareholders and other interested parties on Flowserve’s Investors page.
