(Amounts in tables in thousands of dollars, except for per share amounts)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Gorman-Rupp Company (the “Company” or “Gorman-Rupp”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results. In the opinion of management of the Company, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, from which related information herein has been derived.
COVID-19 Impact
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. While the near-term effects of the pandemic have negatively impacted our financial results, uncertainty over the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 means the ultimate related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein reflect estimates and assumptions made by management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods presented. Such estimates and assumptions affect, among other things, the Company’s goodwill, long-lived asset and indefinite-lived intangible asset valuation; inventory valuation; the allowance for doubtful accounts; and pension plan assumptions. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained.
NOTE 2 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined either to be not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which, as part of its Simplification Initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes, removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of GAAP. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 effective January 1, 2021 with no material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 7 - PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (“Plan”) covering certain domestic employees. Benefits are based on each covered employee’s years of service and compensation. The Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable U.S. regulations. The Plan was closed to new participants effective January 1, 2008. Employees hired after this date, in eligible locations, participate in an enhanced 401(k) plan instead of the defined benefit pension plan. Employees hired prior to this date continue to accrue benefits.
Additionally, the Company sponsors defined contribution pension plans made available to all domestic and Canadian employees. The Company funds the cost of these benefits as incurred.
The Company also sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit postretirement health care plan that provides health benefits to certain domestic and Canadian retirees and eligible spouses and dependent children. The Company funds the cost of these benefits as incurred.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
(Dollars in thousands, except for per share amounts)
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, and notes thereto, and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had an adverse effect on the Company’s reported results, although our facilities and supply chain have remained operational through the pandemic. The extent to which the Company’s operations will continue to be impacted by the pandemic will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and actions by government authorities to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among other things.
Executive Overview
The following discussion of Results of Operations includes certain non-GAAP financial data and measures such as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted earnings per share amounts which exclude non-cash pension settlement charges in 2020. Management utilizes these adjusted financial data and measures to assess comparative operations against those of prior periods without the distortion of non-comparable factors. The Gorman-Rupp Company believes that these non-GAAP financial data and measures also will be useful to investors in assessing the strength of the Company’s underlying operations from period to period. Provided below is a reconciliation of adjusted earnings per share amounts and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

The Gorman-Rupp Company (“we”, “our”, “Gorman-Rupp” or the “Company”) is a leading designer, manufacturer and international marketer of pumps and pump systems for use in diverse water, wastewater, construction, dewatering, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire protection, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), military and other liquid-handling applications. The Company attributes its success to long-term product quality, applications and performance combined with timely delivery and service, and continually seeks to develop initiatives to improve performance in these key areas.
Gorman-Rupp actively pursues growth opportunities through organic growth, international business expansion and acquisitions.
We regularly invest in training for our employees, in new product development and in modern manufacturing equipment, technology and facilities all designed to increase production efficiency and capacity and drive growth by delivering innovative solutions to our customers. We believe that the diversity of our markets is a major contributor to the generally stable financial growth we have produced for more than 85 years.
The Company places a strong emphasis on cash flow generation and maintaining excellent liquidity and financial flexibility. This focus has afforded us the ability to reinvest our cash resources and preserve a strong balance sheet to position us to weather the COVID-19 pandemic and for future acquisition and product development opportunities. The Company had no bank debt as of March 31, 2021. The Company’s cash position increased $8.3 million during the first three months of 2021 to $116.5 million at March 31, 2021 and the Company generated $12.3 million in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during the same period.
Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2021 were $0.9 million and consisted primarily of machinery and equipment and building improvements. Capital expenditures for the full-year 2021 are presently planned to be in the range of $15-$20 million primarily for building improvements and machinery and equipment purchases, and are expected to be financed through internally-generated funds.
Net sales for the first quarter of 2021 were $89.0 million compared to net sales of $91.7 million for the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 2.9% or $2.7 million. Domestic sales decreased 4.2% or $2.7 million and international sales were flat compared to the same period in 2020.
Gross profit was $23.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, resulting in gross margin of 25.9%, compared to gross profit of $23.4 million and gross margin of 25.6% for the same period in 2020. Gross margin increased 30 basis points due to improved leverage on labor and overhead.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $14.1 million and 15.8% of net sales for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $14.9 million and 16.2% of net sales for the same period in 2020. SG&A expenses decreased 5.4% or $0.8 million and improved 40 basis points as a percentage of sales primarily due to reduced marketing and travel related expenses combined with overall expense management.
Operating income was $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2021, resulting in an operating margin of 10.1%, compared to operating income of $8.6 million and operating margin of 9.4% for the same period in 2020. Operating margin increased 70 basis points primarily as a result of improved leverage on labor and overhead, reduced marketing and travel related expenses, and overall expense management.
Other income (expense), net was $0.3 million of income for the first quarter of 2021 compared to expense of $1.7 million for the same period in 2020. The change was due primarily to a non-cash pension settlement charge of $1.5 million and $0.5 million of foreign exchange losses which both occurred in the first quarter of 2020 and did not recur in the first quarter of 2021
Net income was $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2020, and earnings per share were $0.28 and $0.21 for the respective periods. Earnings per share for the first quarter of 2020 included a non-cash pension settlement charge of $0.04 per share.
The Company’s backlog of orders was $125.5 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $113.8 million at March 31, 2020 and $113.1 million at December 31, 2020. Incoming orders for the first quarter of 2021 increased 1.3% compared to the same period in 2020 and 9.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Incoming orders during the first quarter of 2021 included increases primarily in OEM, repair, and construction partially offset by decreases in petroleum and agriculture when compared to the same period last year.
On April 22, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.155 per share on the common stock of the Company, payable June 10, 2021, to shareholders of record as of May 14, 2021. This will mark the 285th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by The Gorman-Rupp Company.
The Company currently expects to continue its exceptional history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
Outlook
Although the timing of the global economy fully recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic remains somewhat uncertain, we were pleased to see our incoming orders improve in the first quarter of this year. Our ongoing focus on managing both operating and SG&A expenses resulted in improved earnings compared to the prior year. Our increase in incoming orders has resulted in a strong backlog position as we begin the second quarter of 2021. While we continue to believe sales in the first half of this year will be more challenging than in the back half, the change in trend that we saw during the first quarter was encouraging. We continue to monitor developments in our global supply chain related to increased lead times and rising material costs. To the extent that these could impact our financial results, we are taking measures to mitigate risks and to ensure that we are able to continue to meet our customers’ needs. We remain well positioned to maximize the opportunity as the economy recovers while at the same time continuing to focus on our long-term strategic initiatives.

Sales in our non-water markets decreased 11.7% or $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, along with reduced demand from midstream oil and gas customers and softness in oil and gas drilling activity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $116.5 million and there was no outstanding bank debt at March 31, 2021. The Company had $25.2 million available in bank lines of credit after deducting $5.8 million in outstanding letters of credit primarily related to customer orders. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants, including limits on additional borrowings and maintenance of certain operating and financial ratios, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure for reporting cash flow, is defined by the Company as adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization, less capital expenditures and dividends. The Company believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on cash available for investments, acquisitions and working capital requirements.
The following table reconciles adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes and depreciation and amortization as reconciled above to free cash flow:

The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 2021 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to decreased inventories, increased accounts payable, and increased net income, partially offset by increased accounts receivable.
During the first three months of 2021 and 2020, investing activities consisted of capital expenditures primarily for machinery and equipment of $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Net cash used for financing activities for the first three months of 2021 and 2020 primarily consisted of dividend payments of $4.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
The Company currently expects to continue its exceptional history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

| ITEM 3. |
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
The Company is subject to market risk associated principally with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited primarily to the Euro, Canadian Dollar, South African Rand and British Pound. The Company manages its foreign exchange risk principally through invoicing customers in the same currency as is used in the market of the source of products. The foreign currency transaction gains (losses) for the periods ending March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $0.3 million and $(0.5) million, respectively, and are reported within Other (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
