Comments

Mark Blinn, President and CEO, “our 2015 first quarter results were lower than expected, specifically in the final month, by broad based industrial spending declines, which originated in the oil and gas markets, and were further accentuated by the strengthening US dollar. Despite this environment, Flowserve continues to perform operationally at a high level, as evidenced by out adjusted gross margin. Additionally, our operational strength allows us to quickly capture available market opportunities, while driving additional cost savings through manufacturing optimisation and SG&A efficiency initiatives. Flowserve has a proven track record of successfully managing through challenging markets, and I am confident we will emerge from the current market and even strong culturally.”
