NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(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. 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, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. 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, 2024, from which related information herein has been derived.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
The FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (2) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes, as well as individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid, (3) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (4) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state and foreign. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The standard should be applied on a prospective basis, while retrospective application is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's financial disclosures.
The FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The standard is intended to enhance the transparency of business expenses in commonly presented expense captions. This amendment requires entities to disclose the following amounts in each relevant income statement expense caption (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, and (4) intangible asset amortization. Entities are also required to disclose the total amount of selling expense and the entities definition of selling expenses. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The standard should be applied on a prospective basis, while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the standard on the Company's financial disclosures.

NOTE 6 - PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (“GR Plan”) covering certain domestic employees. Benefits are based on each covered employee’s years of service and compensation. The GR Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable U.S. regulations. The GR 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.
The following tables present the components of net periodic benefit costs:

ITEM 2. 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, 2024.
Executive Overview
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 suppression, 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.
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 historically.
The Company’s backlog of orders was $217.8 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $234.2 million at March 31, 2024 and $206.0 million at December 31, 2024. Incoming orders for the first three months of 2025 were $177.7 million, or a decrease of 0.7%, compared to the same period in 2024.
On April 24, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per share on the common stock of the Company, payable June 10, 2025, to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2025. This will mark the 301st 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 we benefit from a primarily U.S. based supply chain, we continue to monitor the impact of tariffs and believe we will be able to mitigate the impact through product pricing and supply arrangements. We remain optimistic about our full year outlook and are focused on delivering profitable growth.

Net sales for the first quarter of 2025 were $163.9 million compared to net sales of $159.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 2.9% or $4.7 million. The increase in sales was due primarily to the impact of price increases taken in the first quarter of 2025.
Sales increased $1.8 million in the municipal market and $3.2 million in the repair market due to water and wastewater projects related to increased infrastructure investment. Sales also increased $2.5 million in the OEM market due to increases in various OEM applications, $1.0 million in the petroleum market, and $0.7 million in the fire suppression market. These increases were partially offset by sales decreases of $2.7 million in the construction market due to a general slow down in construction activity including sales into the rental market, $0.9 million in the agriculture market, and $0.9 million in the industrial market.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The discussion of Results of Operations above includes certain non-GAAP financial data and measures such as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude non-cash LIFO expense. 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 inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which the Company has made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. Further, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which method they may elect. 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 and liquidity from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly
15
titled measures used by other companies. Provided below is a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to its corresponding GAAP financial measure, which includes a description of actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $21.8 million at March 31, 2025. The Company had an additional $99.1 million available under the revolving credit facility after deducting $0.9 million in outstanding letters of credit primarily related to customer orders. We believe we have adequate liquidity from funds on hand and borrowing capacity to execute our financial and operating strategy, as well as comply with debt obligation and financial covenants, for at least the next 12 months.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $356.1 million in total debt outstanding with $326.1 million due in 2029 and $30.0 million due in 2031. 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024. See “Note 9 – Financing Arrangements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for a further description of our outstanding debt.
Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2025 were $3.0 million and consisted primarily of machinery and equipment. Capital expenditures for the full-year 2025 are presently planned to be approximately $20.0 million primarily for machinery and equipment, and are expected to be financed through cash from operations.
On April 24, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.185 per share on the common stock of the Company, payable June 10, 2025, to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2025. This will mark the 301st 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.
The Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common shares. The actual number of shares repurchased will depend on prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors, and will be determined at management’s discretion. The Company is not obligated to make any purchases under the program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $48.1 million available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.

The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 2025 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to increased net income, an increase in commissions payable and accrued expenses during the three month period ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period last year.
During the first three months of 2025, investing activities of $3.0 million consisted of capital expenditures primarily for machinery and equipment. During the first three months of 2024, investing activities of $3.9 million consisted of capital expenditures primarily for machinery and equipment.
Net cash used for financing activities of $20.6 million for the first three months of 2025 primarily consisted of net payments on bank borrowings of $14.6 million, dividend payments of $4.9 million, and $1.1 million of payments in the surrender of common shares to cover taxes upon the vesting of stock awards. Net cash used for financing activities of $9.4 million for the first three months of 2024 primarily consisted of net payments on bank borrowings of $4.4 million, dividend payments of $4.7 million, and $0.3 million of payments in the surrender of common shares to cover taxes upon the vesting of stock awards.
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, 2024 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, The Gorman-Rupp Company provides the following cautionary statement: This Form 10-Q contains various forward-looking statements based on assumptions concerning The Gorman-Rupp Company’s operations, future results and prospects. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about important economic, political, and technological factors, among others, and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results or events to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by the forward-looking statements and related assumptions.
Such uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our estimates of future earnings and cash flows, general economic conditions and supply chain conditions and any related impact on costs and availability of materials, retention of supplier and customer relationships and key employees, and the ability to service and repay indebtedness. Other factors include, but are not limited to: company specific risk factors including (1) loss of key personnel; (2) intellectual property security; (3) growth through acquisitions; (4) the Company’s indebtedness and how it may impact the Company’s financial condition and the way it operates its business; (5) acquisition performance and integration; (6) impairment in the value of intangible assets, including goodwill; (7) defined benefit pension plan settlement expense; (8) LIFO inventory method; and (9) family ownership of common equity; and general risk factors including (10) continuation of the current and projected future business environment; (11) highly competitive markets; (12) availability and costs of raw materials and labor; (13) cybersecurity threats; (14) artificial intelligence risk and challenges that can impact our business; (15) compliance with, and costs related to, a variety of import and export laws and regulations; (16) the impact of U.S. trade policy, including resulting tariffs; (17) environmental compliance costs and liabilities; (18) exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; (19) conditions in foreign countries in which The Gorman-Rupp Company conducts business; (20) changes in our tax rates and exposure to additional income tax liabilities; and (21) risks described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except to the extent required by law, we do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to review or update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of such statements to reflect future events or developments or otherwise.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Exposure to foreign exchange rate risk is due to certain costs and revenue being denominated in currencies other than one of the Company’s subsidiaries functional currency. The Company is also exposed to market risk as the result of changes in interest rates which may affect the cost of financing. We continually monitor these risks and regularly develop appropriate strategies to manage them. Accordingly, from time to time, we may enter into certain derivative or other financial instruments. These financial instruments are used to mitigate market exposure and are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
17
Interest Rate Risk
The results of operations are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily with respect to borrowings under the Company’s Senior Term Loan Facility and Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Senior Term Loan Facility and Credit Facility may be made either at (i) a base rate plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 0.50% to 1.25%, or at (ii) an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.5% to 2.25%. At March 31, 2025, the Company had $326.1 million in borrowings under the Senior Term Loan Facility and no borrowings under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, the applicable interest rates under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement were Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.0%. See Note 9 “Financing Arrangements” in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, effective October 31, 2022, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of the Senior Term Loan Facility. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a fixed interest rate and pay a variable interest rate. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as a cash flow hedge, and as a result, the mark-to-market gains or losses will be deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. See “Derivative Financial Instruments” and “Interest Rate Derivatives” in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company estimates that a hypothetical increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would increase interest expense by approximately $1.8 million on an annual basis.
Foreign Currency Risk
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 three month periods ending March 31, 2025 and 2024 were both ($0.1) million, and are reported within Other (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material changes from the legal proceedings previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, except for the following which supplements the COmpany's previously disclosed risk factors:
U.S. trade policy, including the implementation of tariffs, could adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results.
The U.S. administration has implemented numerous tariffs on imported materials and products and, in response, various countries have imposed new, or increased existing, tariffs on imports. These tariffs, to the extent that they continue to be imposed, and any new or increased tariffs, may increase the cost of imported materials used by our suppliers and in our products. Tariffs imposed by other countries may apply to our products sold internationally. The ultimate impact of the announced tariffs and any future tariffs will depend on various factors, including the extent to which such tariffs are implemented, the timing of implementation and the amount, scope and nature of such tariffs. If we are unable to mitigate the impact of tariffs, including through product pricing and supply arrangements, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.
