ENPRO INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Overview, Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Overview
EnPro Industries, Inc. (EnPro or the Company) is a leader in the design, development,
manufacturing and marketing of proprietary engineered industrial products that include sealing
products, self-lubricating, non-rolling bearing products, air compressors, and heavy-duty,
medium-speed diesel, natural gas and dual fuel reciprocating engines.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008, was derived from the audited financial
statements included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals,
considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods presented, have been included.
Management believes that the assumptions underlying the consolidated financial statements are
reasonable. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in its annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Revenues, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during each quarter of
the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be
indicative of those for a full year.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Companys operations have
been eliminated.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position No.
APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement) (APB 14-1). APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain
convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion to separately account for
the liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuers
nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early application was not permitted; however, the transition guidance requires retrospective
application to all periods presented. Prior periods presented in these consolidated financial
statements and related notes have been recast to report as if APB 14-1 had been used and the
effects of those changes are shown below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures
about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (FSP 132(R)-1). FSP 132(R)-1 amends FASB Statement No.
132(R), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits to require
additional disclosures about assets held in an employers defined benefit pension or other
postretirement plan. FSP 132(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009.
Since FSP 132(R)-1 requires only additional disclosures, adoption of the standard will not affect
the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
2. Acquisition
In February 2009, the Company acquired PTM (UK) Limited, a full service provider of sealing
solutions. The acquisition was paid for in cash and is included in the Companys Sealing Products
segment. The purchase price allocations of PTM (UK) Limited and other recently acquired businesses
are subject to the completion of the valuation of certain assets and liabilities.
5
3. Other Expense
Included in other non-operating expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, were $2.4
million of incremental costs for legal, financial and strategic advice and proxy solicitation in
connection with the contested election of directors initiated by one of the Companys shareholders.
On April 11, 2008, an agreement with the shareholder was entered into that resolved the contested
election.
4. Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2009 was a 138.0% benefit compared
to a 37.3% expense in 2008. The change in the rate is principally a result of the jurisdictional
mix of earnings and losses. Reflected in the rate are pre-tax losses in high tax jurisdictions
(primarily the U.S.) and earnings in lower tax jurisdictions (primarily Europe). The lower rate
outside the U.S. is partially a result of recent structural and organizational changes the Company
made in its European operations.
As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $6.2 million and $5.6 million,
respectively, of liabilities recorded for unrecognized tax benefits. The liabilities included
interest of $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The unrecognized tax benefit balances as
of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, also included $2.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively,
for tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility was highly certain but for which there was
uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits as
of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, were cumulative amounts of $4.0 million and $4.0 million,
respectively, for uncertain tax positions that would affect the Companys effective tax rate if
recognized. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in
income tax expense.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax
in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. Substantially all state, local and foreign income tax
returns for the years 2003 through 2007 are open to examination. The U.S. federal income tax
return for 2007 is also open to examination. Various foreign and state tax returns are currently
under examination and may conclude within the next twelve months. The final outcomes of these
audits are not yet determinable; however, management believes that any assessments that may arise
will not be material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

As discussed further in Note 9, the Company previously issued $172.5 million in aggregate
principal amount of Convertible Senior Debentures (the Debentures). Under the terms of the
Debentures, the Company would settle the par amount of its obligations in cash and the remaining
obligations, if any, in common shares. Pursuant to applicable accounting guidelines, the Company
includes the conversion option effect in diluted earnings per share during such periods when the
Companys average stock price exceeds the conversion price of $33.79 per share.

The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing certain of its inventories.
An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year
based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are
based on managements estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs, which are subject
to change in the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Due to the impact of the continuing deterioration in the global economic environment and the
Companys reduced enterprise value resulting from the decrease in its stock price, the Company is
in the process of assessing whether any impairment of its goodwill has occurred. Although the
exact amount of the non-cash charges, if any, related to an impairment of goodwill cannot be
determined at this time, the indicators point to a potential impairment in the Companys GGB
reporting unit which is included in the Companys Engineered Products segment and the Plastomer
Technologies reporting unit which is included in the Companys Sealing Products segment. The
goodwill associated with these reporting units as of March 31, 2009 was $110.2 million. The
Company will complete the evaluation during the second quarter and will record the goodwill
impairment charge at that time, if necessary.
The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of identifiable intangible assets is as

Amortization expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, was $2.5 million and $2.6
million, respectively. The Company has trademarks with indefinite lives that are included in the
table above with a carrying amount of approximately $23 million as of March 31, 2009 that are not
amortized.
9. Long-Term Debt
In 2005, the Company issued $172.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Debentures. The
Debentures bear interest at the annual rate of 3.9375%, with interest due on April 15 and October
15 of each year. The Debentures will mature on October 15, 2015 unless they are converted prior to
that date. The Debentures are the Companys direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and
would rank equal in priority with all unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior in right
of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. They would effectively rank junior to all secured
indebtedness to the extent
8
of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Debentures do not contain any
financial covenants.
Holders may convert the Debentures into cash and shares of the Companys common stock, under
certain circumstances. The initial conversion rate, which is subject to adjustment, is 29.5972
shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures. This is equal to an initial
conversion price of $33.79 per share. The debentures may be converted under the following
circumstances:
|
|
|
during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the closing
price of the Companys common stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive
trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter was
130% or more of the then current conversion price per share of common stock on that
30th trading day; |
|
|
|
|
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading-day period
(which is referred to as the measurement period) in which the trading price per
debenture for each day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of
the closing price of the Companys common stock and the applicable conversion rate for
the debentures; |
|
|
|
|
on or after September 15, 2015; |
|
|
|
|
upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; or |
|
|
|
|
in connection with a transaction or event constituting a change of control. |
The conditions that permit conversion were not satisfied at March 31, 2009.
Upon conversion of any Debentures, the principal amount would be settled in cash.
Specifically, in connection with any conversion, the Company will satisfy its obligations under the
Debentures by delivering to holders, in respect of each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of
Debentures being converted:
|
|
|
cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 or the Conversion Value (defined below), and |
|
|
|
|
to the extent the Conversion Value exceeds $1,000, a number of shares equal to the
sum of, for each day of the Cash Settlement Period, (1) 5% of the difference between
(A) the product of the conversion rate (plus any additional shares as an adjustment
upon a change of control) and the closing price of the Companys common stock for such
date and (B) $1,000, divided by (2) the closing price of the Companys common stock for
such day. |
Conversion Value means the product of (1) the conversion rate in effect (plus any additional
shares as an adjustment upon a change of control) and (2) the average of the closing prices of the
Companys common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on the second trading day
after the conversion date for those Debentures.
The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Debentures to enter into
call options (hedge and warrant transactions), which entitle the Company to purchase shares of its
stock from a financial institution at $33.79 per share and entitle the financial institution to
purchase shares from the Company at $46.78 per share. This will reduce potential dilution to the
Companys common stock from conversion of the Debentures by increasing the effective conversion
price to $46.78 per share.
9
APB 14-1 requires that the liability component of the Debentures be recorded at its fair value
as of the issuance date. This resulted in the Company recording debt in the amount of $111.2
million with the $61.3 million offset to the debt discount being recorded in equity on a net of tax
basis. The debt discount, $46.4 million as of March 31, 2009, is being amortized through interest
expense until the maturity date of October 15, 2015, resulting in an effective interest rate of
approximately 9.5% and a $126.1 million net carrying amount of the liability component at March 31,
2009. As of December 31, 2008, the unamortized debt discount was $47.7 million and the net
carrying amount of the liability component was $124.8 million. Interest expense related to the
Debentures for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 includes $1.7 million of contractual
interest coupon in both periods and $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of debt discount
amortization.
10. Pensions and Postretirement Benefits

pension and other postretirement plans for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, are as

The Company anticipates there will be a required funding of $6.4 million in 2009 for its U.S.
defined benefit pension plans. However, the Company may utilize
credit balances, which were received in prior years for making
discretionary contributions to the plans to offset the majority of
the U.S. required contribution. The Company expects to make total contributions of approximately
$0.9 million in 2009 to its foreign pension plans.
11. Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to various risks.
The use of these financial instruments modifies the exposure with the intent of reducing the risk
to the Company. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading purposes, nor does it
use leveraged financial instruments. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are
major financial institutions. The Company uses several different financial institutions for
derivative contracts to minimize the concentration of credit risk. Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS
133), as amended, requires that all derivative instruments be reported in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets at fair value and that changes in a derivatives fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge criteria are met.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations.
These risks include the translation of local currency balances on its foreign subsidiaries balance
sheets, intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign
currencies. The Company strives to control its exposure to these risks through its normal
operating activities and, where appropriate, through derivative instruments. The Company has
entered into contracts to hedge forecasted transactions occurring at various dates through December
2010 that are denominated in foreign currencies. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts
hedging foreign currency transactions was $94.4 million and $130.3 million at March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. These contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. As cash
flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the contracts is reported in accumulated
other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is
10
reported in income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified into
income, primarily cost of sales, in the period that the hedged transactions affect earnings. The
balances of derivative assets are generally recorded in other current assets and the balances of
derivative liabilities are generally recorded in other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
12. Business Segment Information
The Company has three reportable segments. The Sealing Products segment manufactures sealing
products, heavy-duty wheel end components, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) products and rubber
products. The Engineered Products segment manufactures self-lubricating, non-rolling bearing
products, aluminum blocks for hydraulic applications, rotary and reciprocating air compressors,
vacuum pumps, air systems and compressor components. The Engine Products and Services segment
manufactures and services heavy-duty, medium-speed diesel, natural gas and dual fuel reciprocating
engines. The Companys reportable segments are managed separately based on differences in their
products and services and their end-customers. Segment profit is total segment revenue reduced by
operating expenses and restructuring and other costs identifiable with the segment. Corporate
expenses include general corporate administrative costs. Expenses not directly attributable to the
segments, corporate expenses, net interest expense, asbestos-related expenses, gains/losses or
impairments related to the sale of assets and income taxes are not included in the computation of
segment profit. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for the
Company.
During 2009, the Company modified the methodology for allocating certain corporate expenses
that specifically related to the operating segments. For comparability purposes, segment profits
in 2008 have been adjusted to be consistent with the new expense allocation used by management to
evaluate segment performance.
Segment operating results and other financial data for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, are as follows:

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements, (SFAS 157) for financial assets and liabilities. As permitted by FASB
Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No 157, the Company elected to
defer the adoption of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities until
January 1, 2009. SFAS 157 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded
disclosures regarding fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price
that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants on the measurement date.
SFAS 157 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those
three levels:
|
|
|
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entitys own assumptions. |
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as

The Companys cash equivalents, Crucible back-up trust assets and deferred compensation assets
and liabilities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued
using quoted market prices. For further discussion of the Crucible back-up trust, see Note 14,
Commitments and Contingencies Crucible Materials Corporation. The fair values for foreign
currency derivatives are based on quoted market prices from various banks for similar instruments.
In December 2007, the Company was notified that the cash management fund held at a financial
institution would be closed and liquidated. In addition, (1) cash redemptions were temporarily
suspended, although redemptions could be filled through a pro-rata distribution of the underlying
securities, consisting principally of high-quality corporate debt, mortgage-backed securities and
asset-backed securities; (2) the funds valuation would be based on the market value of the
underlying securities, whereas historically the funds valuation was based on amortized cost; and
(3) interest would continue to accrue. Due to this event, the Company re-evaluated the nature of
the investment and determined that it should be reclassified as an investment rather than as a cash
equivalent in its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has been advised by the fund
manager that the intention is to make an orderly liquidation of the cash management fund with the
goal of preserving and distributing as much of the original investment values as possible to the
fund investors. The fair value of the cash management fund assets is determined through broker
quotations or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency and is
reflected in the net asset value of the fund.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
General
Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings, all arising in the ordinary course of
business with respect to commercial, product liability and environmental matters, are pending or
threatened against the Company or its subsidiaries and seek monetary damages and/or other remedies.
In addition, asbestos litigation against certain of the Companys subsidiaries is described in
this section in more detail. The Company believes that any liability that may finally be
determined with respect to commercial and non-asbestos product liability claims should not have a
material effect on the Companys consolidated financial condition or results of operations. From
time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries are also involved as plaintiffs in legal proceedings
involving contract, patent protection, environmental, insurance and other matters.
13
Environmental
The Companys facilities and operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental
and occupational health and safety requirements of the U.S. and foreign countries. The Company
takes a proactive approach in its efforts to comply with environmental, health and safety laws as
they relate to its manufacturing operations and in proposing and implementing any remedial plans
that may be necessary. The Company also conducts comprehensive compliance and management system
audits at its facilities to maintain compliance and improve operational efficiency.
Although the Company believes past operations were in substantial compliance with the then
applicable regulations, the Company or one of its subsidiaries has been named as a potentially
responsible party or is otherwise involved at 19 sites at each of which the costs to the Company or
its subsidiary are expected to exceed $100,000. Investigations have been completed for 14 sites
and are in progress at the other five sites. The majority of these remediation projects involve
former operating facilities that were sold or closed and primarily deal with remediation of soil
and groundwater contamination. The laws governing investigation and remediation of these sites can
impose joint and several liability for the associated costs. Liability for these costs can be
imposed on present and former owners or operators of the properties or on parties that generated
the wastes that contributed to the contamination.
The Companys policy is to accrue environmental investigation and remediation costs when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The
measurement of the liability is based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to
each individual situation and takes into consideration factors such as existing technology,
presently enacted laws and regulations and prior experience in remediation of contaminated sites.
Liabilities are established for all sites based on these factors. As assessments and remediation
progress at individual sites, these liabilities are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect
additional technical data and legal information. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, EnPro
had accrued liabilities of $21.3 million and $22.1 million, respectively, for estimated future
expenditures relating to environmental contingencies. These amounts have been recorded on an
undiscounted basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company believes that its accruals for environmental liabilities are adequate based on
currently available information. Actual costs to be incurred for identified situations in future
periods may vary from estimates because of the inherent uncertainties in evaluating environmental
exposures due to unknown conditions, changing government regulations and legal standards regarding
liability. Subject to the imprecision in estimating future environmental costs, the Company
believes that maintaining compliance with current environmental laws and government regulations
will not require significant capital expenditures or have a material adverse effect on its
financial condition, but could be material to its results of operations or cash flows in a given
period.
Colt Firearms and Central Moloney
The Company has contingent liabilities related to divested businesses for which certain of its
subsidiaries retained liability or are obligated under indemnity agreements. These contingent
liabilities include, but are not limited to, potential product liability and associated claims
related to the Companys former Colt Firearms subsidiary for firearms manufactured prior to its
divestiture in 1990 and the Companys former Central Moloney subsidiary for electrical transformers
manufactured prior to its divestiture in 1994. No product liability claims are currently pending
against the Company related to Colt Firearms or Central Moloney. The Company also has ongoing
obligations, which are included in retained liabilities of previously owned businesses in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets, with regard to workers compensation, retiree medical and other
retiree benefit matters that relate to the Companys periods of ownership of these operations.
14
Crucible Materials Corporation
Crucible Materials Corporation (Crucible), which is engaged primarily in the manufacture and
distribution of high technology specialty metal products, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Coltec
Industries Inc (Coltec), a subsidiary of the Company, until 1985 when a majority of the
outstanding shares were sold. Coltec divested its remaining minority interest in 2004.
In conjunction with the closure of a Crucible plant in the early 1980s, Coltec was required to
fund two trusts for retiree medical benefits for union employees at the plant. The first trust
(the Benefits Trust) pays for these retiree medical benefits on an ongoing basis. Coltec has no
ownership interest in the Benefits Trust, and thus the assets and liabilities of this trust are not
included in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under the terms of the Benefits Trust
agreement, the trustees retained an actuary to assess the adequacy of the assets in the Benefits
Trust in 1995 and 2005. A third, and final, report will be required in 2015. The actuarial
reports in 1995 and 2005 determined that there were adequate assets to fund the payment of future
benefits. If it is determined in 2015 that the trust assets are not adequate to fund the payment
of future medical benefits, Coltec will be required to contribute additional amounts to the
Benefits Trust. In the event there are ever excess assets in the Benefits Trust, those excess
assets will not revert to Coltec.
Because of the possibility that Coltec could be required to make additional contributions to
the Benefits Trust to cover potential shortfalls, Coltec was required to establish a second trust
(the Back-Up Trust). The trust assets and a corresponding liability of the Back-Up Trust are
reflected in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets in other non-current assets and in retained
liabilities of previously owned businesses, respectively, and amounted to $22.7 million each at
March 31, 2009. As noted above, based on the valuation completed in early 2005, an actuary
determined there were adequate assets in the Benefits Trust to fund the estimated payments from the
trust until the final valuation date in 2015. The Back-Up Trust assets and liability will be kept
equal to each other on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets until 2015 when the final
actuarial report is completed and a determination is made as to whether or not a payment to the
Benefits Trust is required. If there is no payment required or the amount of the payment is less
than the value of the assets in the Back-Up Trust, the remaining assets of the Back-Up Trust will
revert to the Company.
The Company also has ongoing obligations, which are included in retained liabilities of
previously owned businesses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with regard to workers
compensation, retiree medical and other retiree benefit matters, in addition to those mentioned
previously, that relate to the Companys period of ownership of this operation.
Debt Guarantees
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had contingent liabilities for potential payments on
guarantees of certain debt obligations totaling $3.2 million. These guarantees arose from the
divestitures of Crucible and Central Moloney, and expire at various dates through 2010. There is
no liability for these guarantees reflected in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the
event that the other parties do not fulfill their obligations under the debt agreements, the
Company could be responsible for these obligations.
Other Contingent Liability Matters
The Company provides warranties on many of its products. The specific terms and conditions of
these warranties vary depending on the product and the market in which the product is sold. The
Company records a liability based upon estimates of the costs that may be incurred under its
warranties
15
after a review of historical warranty experience and information about specific warranty
claims. Adjustments are made to the liability as claims data and historical experience warrant.
Changes in the carrying amount of the product warranty liability for the quarters ended March
31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Asbestos
History. Certain of the Companys subsidiaries, primarily Garlock Sealing
Technologies LLC (Garlock) and The Anchor Packing Company (Anchor), are among a large number of
defendants in actions filed in various states by plaintiffs alleging injury or death as a result of
exposure to asbestos fibers. Among the products at issue in these actions are industrial sealing
products, including gaskets and packing products. The damages claimed vary from action to action,
and in some cases plaintiffs seek both compensatory and punitive damages. To date, neither Garlock
nor Anchor has been required to pay any punitive damage awards, although there can be no assurance
that they will not be required to do so in the future. Liability for compensatory damages has
historically been allocated among responsible defendants. Since the first asbestos-related
lawsuits were filed against Garlock in 1975, Garlock and Anchor have processed more than 900,000
asbestos claims to conclusion (including judgments, settlements and dismissals) and, together with
their insurers, have paid almost $1.4 billion in settlements and judgments and over $400 million in
fees and expenses.
Claims Mix. Of those claims resolved, approximately 3% have been claims of plaintiffs
alleging the disease mesothelioma, approximately 7% have been claims of plaintiffs alleging lung or
other cancers, and approximately 90% have been claims of plaintiffs alleging asbestosis, pleural
plaques or other non-malignant impairment of the respiratory system. Of the approximately 103,900
open cases at March 31, 2009, the Company is aware of approximately 5,800 (5.6%) that involve
claimants alleging mesothelioma.
New Filings. About 1,100 new claims were filed against the Companys subsidiaries in
the first quarter of 2009, down from the 1,400 claims filed in the first quarter of 2008. The
number of new actions filed against the Companys subsidiaries in 2008 (5,500) was about 5% higher
than the number filed in 2007 (5,200) but was significantly lower than the number filed in 2006
(7,700). The number filed against its subsidiaries in each of those three years was much lower
than the number filed in the peak filing year, 2003, when 44,700 new claims were filed. Factors in
the decline include, but are not limited to, tort reform in some high profile states, especially
Mississippi, Texas and Ohio; tort reform in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Kansas and Tennessee;
actions taken and rulings by some judges and court administrators that have had the effect of
limiting access to their courts for claimants without sufficient ties to the jurisdiction or
claimants with no discernible disease; acceleration of claims into past years; and declining
incidence of asbestos-related disease. The trend of declining new filings has been principally in
non-malignant claims; however, the number of new filings of claims alleging mesothelioma, lung and
other cancers has declined only modestly since 2005. The number of new mesothelioma filings
against the Companys subsidiaries was actually higher for 2008 than for 2007.
16
Product Defenses. The asbestos in products formerly sold by Garlock and Anchor was
encapsulated, which means the asbestos fibers were incorporated into the products during the
manufacturing process and sealed in a binder. The products were also nonfriable, which means they
could not be crumbled by hand pressure. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration,
which began generally requiring warnings on asbestos-containing products in 1972, has never
required that a warning be placed on products such as Garlocks gaskets. Even though no warning
label was required, Garlock included one on all of its asbestos-containing products beginning in
1978. Further, gaskets such as those previously manufactured and sold by Garlock are one of the
few asbestos-containing products still permitted to be manufactured under regulations of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. Nevertheless, Garlock discontinued all manufacture and
distribution of asbestos-containing products in the U.S. during 2000 and worldwide in mid-2001.
From the mid-1980s until 2000, U.S. sales of asbestos-containing industrial sealing products were
not a material part of Garlocks sales and were predominantly to sophisticated purchasers such as
the U.S. Navy and large petrochemical facilities.
Garlocks product defenses have enabled it to be successful at trial. Garlock won defense
verdicts in three of the six cases tried to verdict in 2008, and in seven of twelve cases tried to
verdict in the three-year period 2006 through 2008. In the successful jury trials, the juries
determined that either Garlocks products were not defective, that Garlock was not negligent, or
that the claimant was not exposed to Garlocks products.
Recent Trial Results. During the first quarter of 2009, Garlock began two trials
involving two plaintiffs. In a Kentucky mesothelioma case, the jury awarded the plaintiff $2.1
million. Garlocks share of this verdict was $525,000; Garlock will appeal. In California,
Garlock received a dismissal in a mesothelioma case during trial.
In 2008, Garlock began eleven trials involving thirteen plaintiffs. Garlock received three
jury verdicts in its favor, one in an Ohio case and two in a Pennsylvania trial involving two
plaintiffs. A lawsuit in California was dismissed during trial. In South Carolina, Garlock
obtained a dismissal in one case during trial because there was insufficient evidence of exposure
to Garlock products. In a Kentucky lung cancer case, the jury awarded the plaintiff $1.52 million.
Garlocks share of this verdict was approximately $682,000; Garlock has appealed. In a
Pennsylvania lung cancer case the jury awarded the plaintiff $400,000. Garlocks share was
$200,000, 50% of the total verdict. Garlock paid this verdict in the first quarter of 2009. In an
Illinois case the jury awarded $500,000 against Garlock to a plaintiff with asbestosis. Garlock
has appealed. Also in Pennsylvania, four lawsuits involving five plaintiffs settled during trial
before the jury reached a verdict.
In 2007, Garlock began nine trials involving twelve plaintiffs. A Massachusetts jury returned
a defense verdict in favor of Garlock. In a Kentucky case, the jury awarded the plaintiff $145,000
against Garlock. Garlock has appealed. Four lawsuits in Pennsylvania settled during trial before
the juries had reached a verdict. Garlock also settled cases during trial in Louisiana, Maryland
and Washington.
In 2006, Garlock began ten trials involving eleven plaintiffs. Garlock received jury verdicts
in its favor in Oakland, California; Easton, Pennsylvania; and Louisville, Kentucky. In
Pennsylvania, three other lawsuits involving four plaintiffs settled during trial before the juries
reached verdict. Garlock also settled cases in Massachusetts, California and Texas during trial.
In a Kentucky case, the jury awarded the plaintiff $900,000 against Garlock. The award was
significantly less than the $1.75 million award against Garlock in a previous trial of the same
case, which Garlock successfully appealed. In addition, Garlock obtained dismissals in two cases
in Philadelphia after the juries were selected but before the trials began because there was
insufficient evidence of exposure to Garlock products.
17
Appeals. Garlock has historically enjoyed success in a majority of its appeals. The
Company believes that Garlock will continue to be successful in the appellate process, although
there can be no assurance of success in any particular pending or future appeal. In June 2007, the
New York Court of Appeals, in a unanimous decision, overturned an $800,000 verdict that was entered
against Garlock in 2004, granting a new trial. In March 2006, a three-judge panel of the Ohio
Court of Appeals, in a unanimous decision, overturned a $6.4 million verdict that was entered
against Garlock in 2003, granting a new trial. The case subsequently settled. On the other hand,
the Maryland Court of Appeals denied Garlocks appeal from a 2005 verdict in a mesothelioma case in
Baltimore and Garlock paid that verdict, with post-judgment interest, in 2006. In a separate
Baltimore case in 2006, the Maryland Court of Special Appeals denied Garlocks appeal from another
2005 verdict. The subsequent appeal of that decision was also denied and Garlock paid that verdict
in 2007. At March 31, 2009, five Garlock appeals were pending from adverse verdicts totaling $2.7
million, up from $2.2 million at December 31, 2008 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2007.
In some cases, appeals require the provision of security in the form of appeal bonds,
potentially in amounts greater than the verdicts. The Company has been required to provide cash
collateral or letters of credit to secure the full amount of the bonds, which can restrict the use
of a significant amount of the Companys cash for the periods of such appeals. At March 31, 2009,
the Company had approximately $1.7 million of appeal bonds secured by letters of credit.
Settlements. Garlock settles and disposes of actions on a regular basis. Garlocks
historical settlement strategy was to settle only cases in advanced stages of litigation. In 1999
and 2000, however, Garlock employed a more aggressive settlement strategy. The purpose of this
strategy was to achieve a permanent reduction in the number of overall asbestos claims through the
settlement of a large number of claims, including some early-stage claims and some claims not yet
filed as lawsuits. Due to this short-term aggressive settlement strategy and a significant overall
increase in claims filings, the settlement amounts paid in those years and several subsequent years
were greater than the amounts paid in any year prior to 1999. In 2001, Garlock resumed its
historical settlement strategy and focused on reducing settlement commitments. As a result,
Garlock reduced new settlement commitments from $180 million in 2000 to $94 million in 2001 and $86
million in 2002. New settlement commitments have continued to decline gradually and totaled $71
million in 2008. New settlement commitments in the first quarter of 2009 were $22.5 million, up
from $8.2 million in the first quarter of 2008. Much of the increase was because of timing.
Settlements are made without any admission of liability. Settlement amounts vary depending
upon a number of factors, including the jurisdiction where the action was brought, the nature and
extent of the disease alleged and the associated medical evidence, the age and occupation of the
plaintiff, the presence or absence of other possible causes of the plaintiffs alleged illness and
other defendants, alternative sources of payment available to the plaintiff, the availability of
legal defenses, and whether the action is an individual one or part of a group.
Before any payment on a settled claim is made, the claimant is required to submit a medical
report acceptable to Garlock substantiating the asbestos-related illness and meeting specific
criteria of disability. In addition, sworn testimony or other reliable evidence that the claimant
worked with or around Garlock asbestos-containing products is required. The claimant is also
required to sign a full and unconditional release of Garlock, its subsidiaries, parent, officers,
directors, affiliates and related parties from any liability for asbestos-related injuries or
claims.
Status of Anchor. Anchor is an inactive and insolvent indirect subsidiary of Coltec.
There is no remaining insurance coverage available to Anchor. Anchor has no remaining assets and
has not committed to settle any actions since 1998. As cases reach the trial stage, Anchor is
typically dismissed without payment.
18
Insurance Coverage. At March 31, 2009, Garlock had available $302.2 million of
insurance and trust coverage that the Company believes will be available to cover future asbestos
claims and certain expense payments. In addition, at March 31, 2009, Garlock classified $18.3
million of otherwise available insurance as insolvent. Garlock collected approximately $0.1
million from insolvent carriers in 2008, and the Company believes that Garlock will collect some
additional amounts from insolvent carriers in the future. However, there can be no assurance that
Garlock will collect any additional insurance from insolvent carriers.
Of the $302.2 million of collectible insurance and trust assets, the Company considers $292.0
million (97%) to be of high quality because (a) the insurance policies are written or guaranteed by
U.S.-based carriers whose credit rating by S&P is investment grade (BBB) or better, and whose AM
Best rating is excellent (A-) or better, or (b) the assets are in the form of cash or liquid
investments held in insurance trusts resulting from commutation agreements. The Company considers
$10.2 million (3%) to be of moderate quality because the insurance policies are written with (a)
other solvent U.S. carriers who are unrated or below investment grade ($6.5 million) or (b) various
London market carriers ($3.7 million). Of the $302.2 million, $233.6 million is allocated to
claims that have been paid by Garlock and submitted to its insurance companies for reimbursement
and the remainder is allocated to pending and estimated future claims as described later in this
section.
Arrangements with Garlocks insurance carriers limit the amount of insurance proceeds that
Garlock is entitled to receive in any one year. Based on these arrangements, which include
settlement agreements in place with most of the carriers involved, the Company anticipates that its
remaining solvent insurance will be collected during the period 2009 2018 in approximately the
following annual amounts: 2009 through 2010 $67 million per year ($5.2 million was collected in
the first quarter of 2009); 2011 $40 million; 2012 and 2013 $25 million per year; 2014
through 2016 $20 million per year; and 2017 and 2018 $12 million per year. The Company
collected $73 million of insurance in 2008. These amounts are significantly lower than amounts
collected in past years.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company reached an agreement with a significant group
of related U.S. insurers. These insurers had withheld payments pending resolution of a dispute.
The agreement provides for the payment of the full amount of the insurance policies ($194 million)
in various annual payments to be made from 2007 through 2018. Under the agreement, Garlock
received $22 million in 2007 and $20 million in 2008 and is scheduled to receive $20 million in
2009.
In May 2006, the Company reached agreement with a U.S. insurer that resolved two lawsuits and
an arbitration proceeding. Pursuant to the settlement, Garlock received $3 million in 2008, $3
million in 2007 and $4 million in 2006 and is scheduled to receive another $11 million in the
future.
In the second quarter of 2004, the Company reached agreement with Equitas, the London-based
entity responsible for the pre-1993 Lloyds of London policies in the Companys insurance block,
concerning settlement of its exposure to the Companys subsidiaries asbestos claims. As a result
of the settlement, $88 million was placed in an independent trust. In the fourth quarter of 2004,
the Company reached agreement with a group of London market carriers (other than Equitas) and one
of its U.S. carriers that has some policies reinsured through the London market. As a result of
the settlement, $55.5 million was placed in an independent trust. At December 31, 2008, the
aggregate market value of the funds remaining in the two trusts was $20.6 million, which was
included in the $307.4 million of insurance and trust coverage available to pay future
asbestos-related claims and expenses.
Insurance coverage for asbestos claims is not available to cover exposures initially occurring
on and after July 1, 1984. Although Garlock and Anchor continue to be named as defendants in new
actions, only a few allege initial exposure after July 1, 1984. To date, no payments have been
made with respect
19
to these few claims, pursuant to a settlement or otherwise. Garlock and Anchor believe that
they have substantial defenses to these claims and therefore automatically reject them for
settlement. However, there can be no assurance that any or all of these defenses will be
successful in the future.
The Companys Liability Estimate. Prior to mid-2004, the Company maintained that its
subsidiaries liability for unasserted claims was not reasonably estimable. The Company estimated
and recorded liabilities only for pending claims in advanced stages of processing, for which it
believed it had a basis for making a reasonable estimate. The Company disclosed the significance
of the total potential liability for unasserted claims in considerable detail. During 2004, the
Company authorized counsel to retain Bates White to assist in estimating the Companys
subsidiaries liability for pending and future asbestos claims.
Bates Whites first report, dated February 17, 2005, provided an estimate of the liability as
of December 31, 2004 for the following ten years, which represented a time horizon within which
Bates White believed such liability was both probable and estimable within a range of values.
Bates White has updated its estimate every quarter since the end of 2004. Beginning in 2009, Bates
White will update its estimate of the Companys subsidiaries liability for pending and future
asbestos claims annually in the fourth quarter.
Each quarter until the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company adopted the Bates White estimate
and adjusted the liability to equal the low end of the then-current range. Until the second
quarter of 2006, the additional liability was recorded with a corresponding increase in the
Companys insurance receivable, and thus did not affect net income. During the second quarter of
2006, however, the Companys insurance was fully allocated to past, present and future claims, and
therefore subsequent changes to the Bates White estimate were recorded as charges to income.
The estimated range of potential liabilities provided by Bates White at December 31, 2008 was
$431 million to $627 million. According to Bates White, increases since the initial estimate have
been attributable primarily to (1) an increase in settlement values of mesothelioma claims, (2) an
increase in claims filings and values in some jurisdictions, most notably California, and (3) the
delay in, and uncertain impact of, the funding and implementation of trusts formed under Section
524(g) of the United States Bankruptcy Code to pay asbestos claims against numerous defendants in
Chapter 11 reorganization cases, and (4) an increasing propensity to sue Garlock. Because the
524(g) trusts are estimated by some, including Bates White, to have billions of dollars available
for the payment of asbestos claims, they could have a significant impact on the Companys future
settlement payments and could therefore significantly affect its liability.
The Company has independently developed internal estimates for asbestos-related liabilities.
The Company has used those estimates for a variety of purposes, including guidance for settlement
negotiations and trial strategy, in its strategic planning, budgeting and cash flow planning
processes, and in setting targets for annual and long-term incentive compensation. The Companys
internal estimate has been within the Bates White range of equally likely estimates and has proven
to be a more precise predictor of the actual amounts spent on settlements and verdicts than the low
end of the Bates White range. As a result, while the low end of the Bates White range still
provides a reasonable lower boundary of possible outcomes, Bates White and management believe that
the Companys internal estimate for the next ten years represents the most likely point within the
range. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the recorded liability from the low end of the Bates
White estimate to its point estimate in the fourth quarter of 2006 and has adjusted the liability
in each subsequent quarter consistent with its internal estimates.
The Company focuses on future cash flows to prepare its estimate. It makes assumptions about
future asbestos spending based on (1) past trends, (2) publicly available epidemiological data, (3)
current agreements with plaintiff firms and managements judgment about the current and future
litigation
20
environment, (4) the availability to claimants of other payment sources, both co-defendants
and the 524(g) trusts, (5) the Companys remaining available insurance; (6) general developments in
the asbestos litigation; and (7) the input and insight provided to the Company by Bates White. The
Company adjusts its estimate when current cash flow results and long-term trends suggest that its
targets cannot be met. As a result, the Company has a process that it believes produces the best
estimate of the future liability for the ten-year time period within the Bates White range.
The Company currently estimates that the liability of its subsidiaries for the indemnity cost
of resolving asbestos claims for the next ten years will be $456.4 million. The estimated
liability of $456.4 million is before any tax benefit and is not discounted to present value, and
it does not include fees and expenses, which are recorded as incurred. The recorded liability will
continue to be impacted by actual claims and settlement experience and any change in the legal
environment that could cause a significant increase or decrease in the long-term expectations of
management and Bates White. The Company expects the recorded liability to fluctuate, perhaps
significantly. Any significant change in the estimated liability could have a material effect on
the Companys consolidated financial position and results of operations.
The Companys estimate is within the Bates White range, developed independently, and the
Company believes that its estimate is the best estimate within the Bates White range of reasonable
and probable estimates of Garlocks future obligation.
At December 31, 2008, Bates White also indicated a broader range of potential estimates from
$189 million to $711 million. The Company cautions that points within or outside that broader
range remain possible outcomes. Also, while the Company agrees with Bates White that beyond two
to four years for Garlocks economically-driven non-malignant claims and beyond ten years for
Garlocks cancer claims and medically-driven non-malignant claims, there are reasonable scenarios
in which the [asbestos] expenditure is de minimus, it cautions that the process of estimating
future liabilities is highly uncertain. Adjusting the Companys liability to the best estimate
within the range does not change that fact. In the words of the Bates White report, the
reliability of estimates of future probable expenditures of Garlock for asbestos-related personal
injury claims declines significantly for each year further into the future. Scenarios continue to
exist that could result in a total future asbestos liability for pending and future claims for
Garlock in excess of $1 billion.
As previously mentioned, the liability estimate does not include legal fees and expenses,
which add considerably to the costs each year. Over the last two years, these expenses have
averaged approximately $6 million per quarter. In addition to these legal fees and expenses, the
Company expects to continue to record charges or credits to income in future quarters for:
|
|
|
Increases or decreases, if any, in the Companys estimate of Garlocks potential
liability, plus |
|
|
|
|
Increases, if any, that result from additional quarters added to maintain the
ten-year estimation period (increases of this type have averaged approximately $6
million per quarter for the last two years), plus |
|
|
|
|
Amounts, if any, of solvent insurance lost or commuted, amounts of recoveries from
insolvent carriers, and earnings from insurance settlement trusts. |
In the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $13.6 million to
reflect net cash outlays of $4.8 million for fees and expenses paid during the quarter and an $8.8
million non-cash charge consisting of $6.3 million to add an estimate of the liability for the
first quarter of 2019 to maintain a ten-year estimate and an increase of $2.5 million in incurred
but unpaid legal fees. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of
$12.1 million to reflect cash outlays of $5.6 million for
21
fees and expenses incurred during the quarter and a $6.5 million non-cash charge primarily to
add an estimate for the first quarter of 2018 to maintain a ten-year estimate.
Quantitative Claims and Insurance Information. The Companys liability as of March
31, 2009 was $465.8 million (the Companys estimate of the liability described above of $456.4
million plus $9.4 million of accrued legal and other fees already incurred but not yet paid). The
liability as of March 31, 2009, included $96.4 million classified as a current liability and $369.4
million classified as a noncurrent liability. The recorded amounts do not include legal fees and
expenses to be incurred in the future.
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had remaining insurance and trust coverage of $302.2 million
which is reflected on its balance sheet as a receivable ($75.0 million classified in current assets
and $227.2 classified in non-current assets) and which it believes will be available for the
payment of asbestos-related claims. Included in the receivable is $233.6 million in insured claims
and expenses that our subsidiaries have paid out in excess of amounts recovered from insurance.
These amounts are recoverable under the terms of the Companys insurance policies and have been
billed to the insurance carriers. The remaining $68.6 million will be available for pending and
future claims.
The table below quantitatively depicts the number of pending cases, asbestos-related cash
flows, the amount that the Company expects Garlock to recover from insurance related to this
liability, and an analysis of the liability.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following is managements discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have
affected our financial condition, cash flows and operating results during the periods included in
the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes. You should
read this in conjunction with those financial statements and the audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008.
Forward-Looking Information
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes statements that reflect projections or
expectations of the future financial condition, results of operations and business of EnPro that
are subject to risk and uncertainty. We believe those statements to be forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When used in this report, the words may, hope, will,
should, expect, plan, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, predict, potential,
continue, likely, and other expressions generally identify forward-looking statements.
We cannot guarantee that actual results or events will not differ materially from those
projected, estimated, assigned or anticipated in any of the forward-looking statements contained in
this report. In addition to those factors specifically noted in the forward-looking statements and
those identified in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008,
other important factors that could result in those differences include:
|
|
|
the resolution of current and potential future asbestos claims against certain of
our subsidiaries, which depends on such factors as the financial viability of insurance
carriers, the amount and timing of payments of claims and related expenses, the amount
and timing of insurance collections, limitations on the amount that may be recovered
from insurance carriers, the bankruptcies of other defendants and the results of
litigation; |
|
|
|
|
the estimated liability for current and potential future asbestos claims that may be
received, which is highly uncertain, is based on subjective assumptions and is a point
within a range of estimated values; |
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions in the markets served by our businesses, some of which
are cyclical and experience periodic downturns; |
|
|
|
|
prices and availability of raw materials; and |
23
|
|
|
the amount of any payments required to satisfy contingent liabilities related to
discontinued operations of our predecessors, including liabilities for certain
products, environmental matters, guaranteed debt payments, employee benefit obligations
and other matters. |
We caution our shareholders not to place undue reliance on these statements, which speak only
as of the date on which such statements were made.
Whenever you read or hear any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributed
to us or any person acting on our behalf, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements
contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly
any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Overview and Outlook
Overview. EnPro was incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina on
January 11, 2002. We design, develop, manufacture and market proprietary engineered industrial
products. We have 43 primary manufacturing facilities located in the United States and 10
countries outside the United States.
We manage our business as three segments: a Sealing Products segment, an Engineered Products
segment, and an Engine Products and Services segment.
Our Sealing Products segment designs, manufactures and sells sealing products, including
metallic, non-metallic and composite material gaskets, rotary seals, compression packing, resilient
metal seals, elastomeric seals, hydraulic components and expansion joints, as well as wheel-end
component systems, PTFE products, conveyor belting and sheeted rubber products. These products are
used in a variety of industries, including chemical and petrochemical processing, petroleum
extraction and refining, pulp and paper processing, heavy-duty trucking, power generation, food and
pharmaceutical processing, primary metal manufacturing, mining, water and waste treatment,
aerospace, medical, filtration and semiconductor fabrication.
Our Engineered Products segment includes operations that design, manufacture and sell
self-lubricating, non-rolling, metal-polymer, solid polymer and filament wound bearing products,
aluminum blocks for hydraulic applications, rotary and reciprocating air compressors, vacuum pumps,
air systems and compressor components. These products are used in a wide range of applications,
including the automotive, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, natural gas, health, pump and compressor
construction, power generation, machine tools, air treatment, refining, petrochemical and general
industrial markets.
Our Engine Products and Services segment designs, manufactures, sells and services heavy-duty,
medium-speed diesel, natural gas and dual fuel reciprocating engines. The United States government
and the general markets for marine propulsion, power generation, and pump and compressor
applications use these products and services.
In January 2008, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sinflex Sealing
Technologies, a distributor and manufacturer of industrial sealing products, located in Shanghai,
China. The operation conducts business as Garlock Sealing Technologies (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. and is
operated and managed as part of the global Garlock Sealing Technologies business unit in the
Sealing Products segment. Sinflex was Garlocks principal distributor in China for over a decade.
The acquisition establishes an operation presence for Garlock in China and is key to our ability to
address Chinas fast-growing sealing products market.
24
In February 2008, we acquired the stock of V.W. Kaiser Engineering, a manufacturer of pins,
bushings and suspension kits primarily for the heavy-duty truck and bus aftermarket. The
acquisition expands the products we offer to commercial vehicle customers. V.W. Kaiser Engineering
is located in Michigan. It is operated and managed as part of the Stemco business unit, also in
the Sealing Products segment.
In May 2008, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Air Perfection in
California. Air Perfection is engaged in the audit, sale, distribution, rental and service of
compressed air systems and the various components that comprise such systems. The acquisition
improves Quincys access to customers and opportunities for growth in important regional markets.
The business is operated and managed as part of the Quincy Compressor business unit, which is in
the Engineered Products segment.
In June 2008, we purchased the 20% ownership of the minority shareholder of Garlock Pty
Limited in Australia. Subsequent to the share purchase, we own 100% of Garlock Pty Limited, which
is in the Sealing Products segment.
In October and November 2008, we acquired certain assets of and assumed certain liabilities of
three businesses which provide components and aftermarket services for reciprocating compressors to
customers in the petroleum, natural gas, PET bottle molding and chemical processing industries.
The acquired businesses are Horizon Compressor Services, Inc., located in Houston, Texas; RAM Air,
Inc., located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida; and C&P Services (Northern) Limited, located in
Warrington, UK. These acquisitions expand CPIs product lines and provide access to new markets.
The businesses are operated and managed as part of the CPI business unit in the Engineered Products
segment.
In December 2008, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Northern
Gaskets and Mouldings Limited (NGM), a distributor of sealing products and a manufacturer of
gaskets, located in Batley, UK. NGM operates as part of Garlock (Great Britain) Limited in the
Sealing Products segment. NGM increases Garlocks presence in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical
and oil and gas industries in the UK.
In February 2009, we purchased PTM (UK) Limited, a privately-owned manufacturer and
distributor of sealing products with two locations in the United Kingdom. The acquisition of PTM
continues the expansion of Garlocks presence in the U.K., increasing the scale of the U.K. sealing
products business and the ability to address new market segments. PTM is included in our Sealing
Products segment.
On March 3, 2008, pursuant to a $100 million share repurchase authorization approved by our
board of directors, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a
financial institution to provide for the immediate retirement of $50 million of our common stock.
Under the ASR agreement, we purchased approximately 1.7 million shares of our common stock from a
financial institution at an initial price of $29.53 per share. Total consideration paid at initial
settlement to repurchase these shares, including commissions and other fees, was approximately
$50.2 million and was recorded in shareholders equity as a reduction of common stock and
additional paid-in capital. The price adjustment period under the ASR terminated on August 29,
2008. In connection with the finalization of the ASR, we remitted in cash a final settlement
adjustment of $11.9 million to the financial institution that executed the ASR. The final
settlement adjustment, recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, was based on the
average of the reported daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock during the term of
the ASR. It resulted in a remittance to the financial institution because the volume-weighted
average price of our common stock during the term of the ASR exceeded the initial price of $29.53
per share. After the final settlement adjustment, we had completed about $62 million of the share
repurchase authorization.
25
Pursuant to the share repurchase authorization and in accordance with the terms of a plan to
repurchase shares announced on September 8, 2008, we acquired 252,400 shares of our common stock in
open-market transactions at an average price of about $28.00 per share, resulting in total
repurchases of approximately $7.1 million, including commissions and fees, from October 1, 2008 to
October 29, 2008. On October 29, 2008, in light of the volatility in the financial and credit
markets, the board of directors terminated the share repurchase plan.
Outlook. We believe we are making progress in connection with our business priorities
to pursue operational, commercial, pricing and sourcing excellence; to accelerate growth through
new products, new markets and acquisitions; and to effectively manage cash. We believe the
acquisitions we have completed contribute to the geographic expansion of our key businesses and
that they improve our product offerings. However, the weaknesses in our markets that we began to
encounter in 2008 have continued into 2009. Sharp declines in volume in most of our industrial
markets have significantly reduced our profitability. As our markets have deteriorated, we have
acted quickly to reduce employment levels, freeze salaries and shorten work weeks, and we have
taken other significant steps to lower production costs and reduce spending. While we expect to
benefit from these actions, we continue to expect lower sales and operating income in 2009 compared
to 2008 as we expect the weaknesses in our markets to continue throughout the year.
As a result of recent structural and organizational changes we have made in our European
operations, our mix of domestic and foreign earnings, and the application of the required interim
period accounting rules, we expect that our effective tax rate for 2009 may be volatile throughout
2009. The actual effective tax rate depends on our actual results versus the projections used in
estimating the effective tax rate by jurisdiction, and therefore the actual effective tax rate may
vary significantly as a result. For years beyond 2009, we anticipate that our effective tax rate
should generally be lower than historical rates.
Due to recent volatility in the equity and fixed income investment markets, we, like many
companies, have experienced a significant decline in the value of the assets that fund our U.S.
defined benefit pension plans and an increase in the value of plan liabilities. Based on currently
available data, which is subject to change, we estimate that we will be required to make cash
contributions in 2009 totaling $6.4 million. However, we may utilize our remaining credit
balances, which we received in prior years for making discretionary contributions to the plans
which were not required, to offset the majority of the required contributions in 2009. We estimate
that the annual U.S. pension expense will increase to approximately $14.0 $15.0 million in 2009
compared to $4.8 million in 2008.
In connection with our business strategy to accelerate growth, we will continue to evaluate
acquisitions and divestitures in 2009; however, the impact of such acquisitions and divestitures
cannot be predicted and therefore is not reflected in this outlook.
We are currently conducting an evaluation of goodwill to determine if it has been impaired by
deterioration in the global economic environment. Preliminary results indicate potential
impairments at GGB in the Engineered Products segment and at Plastomer Technologies in the Sealing
Products segment. Total goodwill associated with these businesses at March 31, 2009 was $110.2
million. While the exact amount of any potential impairment charge cannot be determined at this
time, the charge would be non-cash and would be recorded in our second quarter results.

Segment profit is total segment revenue reduced by operating expenses and restructuring and
other costs identifiable with the segment. Corporate expenses include general corporate
administrative costs. Expenses not directly attributable to the segments, corporate expenses, net
interest expense, asbestos-related expenses, gains/losses or impairments related to the sale of
assets, and income taxes are not included in the computation of segment profit. The accounting
policies of the reportable segments are the same as those for EnPro.
First Quarter of 2009 Compared to the First Quarter of 2008
Sales of $216.4 million in the first quarter of 2009 decreased 24% from $283.1 million in the
comparable quarter of 2008. The decrease in the values of foreign currencies relative to the U.S.
dollar negatively impacted results by six percentage points. The additional results from the
acquisitions completed since the first quarter of 2008, which contributed two percentage points to
revenue on a year-over-year basis, partially offset the currency impact. The decline in sales was
the result of weak automotive and industrial markets for GGB, lower air compressor unit volumes at
Quincy, reduced OEM volumes at Stemco and lower demand for Garlock Sealing Technologies and
Garlock Rubber Technologies products in North America.
Segment profit, managements primary measure of how our operations perform, decreased 64% from
$45.1 million in the first quarter of 2008 to $16.3 million in 2009. Segment profit decreased
primarily due to lower volumes and lower absorption of manufacturing costs due to reduced
production levels. These decreases were partially offset by material cost improvements and
selected price increases. Segment margins, defined as segment profit divided by sales, declined
from 15.9% in 2008 to 7.5% in 2009. The weaker results at most businesses were the primary cause
for the decrease in segment margins, offsetting margin improvements at Fairbanks Morse Engines.
27
Other expense, net was lower in the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to $2.4 million of
expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2008 for external advisors and service providers engaged
in connection with the contested election of directors, which was subsequently resolved. There
were no such expenses in the first quarter of 2009.
The income tax provision for the interim periods presented is computed at the effective rate
expected to be applicable in each respective full year using the statutory rates on a
country-by-country basis. The effective tax rate on continuing operations was a 138.0% benefit for
the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to a 37.3% expense for the same period in the
prior year. Our effective tax rate fluctuates due to a variety of factors, including state income
taxes, the mix of income between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions taxed at varying rates, various
changes in estimates of permanent differences and valuation allowances and the relative size of our
consolidated income before income taxes.
The primary factor impacting our effective tax rate is the mix of earnings between the various
tax jurisdictions in which we do business. Each tax jurisdiction has its own set of tax laws and
tax rates. The income earned by our subsidiaries in each jurisdiction is taxed independently by
these various jurisdictions. Currently, the applicable statutory income tax rates in the
jurisdictions that we operate in range from 0% to 38%. Therefore, the amount of income tax expense
in each jurisdiction as compared to our consolidated income (loss) before income taxes has a
significant impact on our annual effective tax rate.
Net income was $3.2 million, or $0.16 per share, in the first quarter of 2009 compared to
$12.5 million, or $0.58 per share, in the same quarter of 2008. Earnings per share are expressed
on a diluted basis.
Following is a discussion of operating results for each segment during the quarter:
Sealing Products. Sales of $97.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 were 21% lower
than the $123.6 million reported in the same quarter of 2008. Organic decreases caused seventeen
percentage points of the reduction and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates
versus the U.S. dollar accounted for five percentage points of the reduction. Acquisitions
completed since the first quarter of 2008 favorably impacted revenue by one percentage point.
Sales at Garlock Sealing Technologies decreased 19%. Its sales were unfavorably impacted by
reduced demand in U.S. and Asian markets; weakness in the steel sector; and decreases in the value
of foreign currencies. Stemcos sales during the quarter decreased 20% year-over-year primarily as
a result of the lower volumes, partially offset by the inclusion of the V.W. Kaiser business for a
full quarter in 2009. Its OEM and aftermarket sales for the U.S. heavy-duty truck market were
lower compared to 2008 as the number of new trailers built and usage of existing trucks decreased
as a result of the U.S. economic slowdown. Garlock Rubber Technologies and Plastomer Technologies
experienced sales decreases during the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same quarter last year
due to reduced volumes in their key markets.
Segment profit of $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2009 decreased 38% compared to the
$20.6 million reported in the first quarter of 2008. A 32% decrease in profit at Garlock Sealing
Technologies reflected the impact of lower sales and lower absorption of manufacturing costs due to
reduced production levels. Stemco reported a decline in profit primarily due to the slowdown in
the heavy-duty vehicle markets and the resulting lower volume and absorption of manufacturing costs
partially offset by selected price increases. Garlock Rubber Technologies reported a slight
decrease in segment profit. Manufacturing costs and volume decline negatively impacted Plastomer
Technologies results as they reported a decline in earnings compared to last year. Operating
margins for the segment decreased to 13.1% in 2009 from 16.7% in 2008 as a result of the earnings
declines at these operations.
28
Engineered Products. Sales of $88.0 million in the first quarter of 2009 were 34%
lower than the $133.1 million reported in 2008. Acquisitions completed since the first quarter of
2008 favorably impacted revenue by three percentage points. This was more than offset by reduced
activity in the segments other operations, which reduced sales by 30 percentage points, and the
year-over-year decrease in the value of foreign currencies, which produced seven percentage points
of the sales decrease. Sales for GGB in the first quarter of 2009 were 47% lower than the amount
reported in the comparable quarter of 2008 primarily due to reduced volume in automotive and
industrial markets. Quincy Compressors sales decreased as a result of reduced volumes in its key
markets, which were partially offset by the sales from an acquisition completed in the second
quarter of 2008. Sales for Compressor Products International in the first quarter of 2009 were 19%
lower due to lower volume in its natural gas and other markets and unfavorable foreign exchange
rates.
The segment loss in the first quarter of 2009 was $1.9 million, compared to the $21.1 million
segment profit reported in the same quarter of 2008. GGBs profits decreased in 2009 due to lower
volume in its automotive and industrial markets, lower absorption of manufacturing costs due to
reduced production levels, and cost increases. Quincy Compressor reported a decrease in its profit
as a result of lower volume and lower absorption of manufacturing costs. Profits at Compressor
Products International decreased as a result of lower volume, unfavorable foreign exchange rates
and higher costs. The negative operating margins in the quarter for the segment compare to 15.9%
margins in the first quarter of 2008.
Engine Products and Services. Sales increased 20% from $26.5 million in the first
quarter of 2008 to $31.7 million in the first quarter of 2009. The increase was attributable to
higher parts, service and engine sales.
The segment reported a profit of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $3.4
million in the first quarter of 2008. The year-over-year improvement consisted of higher
aftermarket sales and engine volumes, partially offset by higher material costs in the current
quarter compared to the first quarter of 2008. Operating margins for the segment increased to
17.4% in 2009 from 12.8% in 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt repayments and
common stock repurchases have been and continue to be funded from cash balances on hand and cash
generated from operations. The Company intends to continue to consider acquisition opportunities,
some of which may be of a size that would exceed available cash balances. Should we need
additional capital in the future, we have other resources available, which are discussed under the
heading of Capital Resources.
Cash Flows
Operating activities generated cash in the amount of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2009
compared to $9.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease in operating cash flows was
primarily attributable to lower earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) resulting from lower volumes in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 2008. The decrease
in EBITDA was partially offset by a lower increase in working capital.
Investing activities used $10.6 million and $39.4 million of cash during the first quarter of
2009 and 2008, respectively. We made net payments for acquisitions of $5.3 million in 2009
compared to $27.2 million in 2008. In addition, capital expenditures in 2009 were $5.4 million
less than in 2008 due to reduced spending at GGB in Europe and on Garlocks Palmyra modernization
project, as well as the Companys actions to reduce spending in response to the current economic
environment. We also received $2.0 million from the distribution of proceeds from an investment.
29
In the first quarter of 2009, we paid off $9.6 million in industrial revenue bonds that
matured during the period. This transaction was included in financing activities in the
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Capital Resources
Our primary U.S. operating subsidiaries have a senior secured revolving credit facility with a
group of banks, which matures on April 21, 2011. We have not borrowed against this facility. The
facility is collateralized by our receivables, inventories, intellectual property, insurance
receivables and all other personal property assets (other than fixed assets), and by pledges of 65%
of the capital stock of our direct foreign subsidiaries and 100% of the capital stock of our direct
and indirect U.S. subsidiaries. The facility contains covenants and restrictions that are
customary for an asset-based loan, including limitations on dividends, limitations on incurrence of
indebtedness and maintenance of a fixed charge coverage financial ratio. Certain of the covenants
and restrictions apply only if availability under the facility falls below certain levels.
The maximum initial amount available for borrowings under the facility is $75 million. Under
certain conditions, we may request that the facility be increased by up to $25 million, to $100
million in total. Actual borrowing availability at any date is determined by reference to a
borrowing base of specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and is
reduced by usage of the facility, which includes outstanding letters of credit, and any reserves.
We issued $172.5 million of convertible debentures in 2005. The debentures bear interest at
an annual rate of 3.9375%, and we pay accrued interest on April 15 and October 15 of each year.
The debentures will mature on October 15, 2015. The debentures are direct, unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations and rank equal in priority with our unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness and will be senior in right of payment to all subordinated indebtedness. They
effectively rank junior to our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets
securing such indebtedness. The debentures do not contain any financial covenants. Holders may
convert the debentures into cash and shares of our common stock, if any, at an initial conversion
rate of 29.5972 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (which is equal to
an initial conversion price of $33.79 per share), subject to adjustment, before the close of
business on October 15, 2015. Upon conversion, we would deliver (i) cash equal to the lesser of
the aggregate principal amount of the debentures to be converted or our total conversion
obligation, and (ii) shares of our common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of our
conversion obligation. Conversion is permitted only under certain circumstances that had not
occurred at March 31, 2009.
We used a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the debentures to enter into call
options (hedge and warrant transactions), which entitle us to purchase shares of our stock from a
financial institution at $33.79 per share and entitle the financial institution to purchase shares
of our stock from us at $46.78 per share. This will reduce potential dilution to our common
stockholders from conversion of the debentures and have the effect to us of increasing the
conversion price of the debentures to $46.78 per share.
The $3.1 million of 71/2% Coltec Senior Notes were paid in the second quarter of 2008.
Industrial revenue bonds, in the amount of $9.6 million were repaid in full during the first
quarter of 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Please refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008,
for a complete list of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
30
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by
reference, for a description of new accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of
adoption and the expected effects on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition,
if any.
Contingencies
General
Various claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings with respect to commercial, product
liability, asbestos and environmental matters, all arising in the ordinary course of business, are
pending or threatened against us or our subsidiaries and seek monetary damages and/or other
remedies. We believe that any liability that may finally be determined with respect to commercial
and non-asbestos product liability claims should not have a material effect on our consolidated
financial condition or results of operations. From time to time, we and our subsidiaries are also
involved as plaintiffs in legal proceedings involving contract, patent protection, environmental,
insurance and other matters.
Environmental
Our facilities and operations are subject to federal, state and local environmental and
occupational health and safety requirements of the U.S. and foreign countries. We take a proactive
approach in our efforts to comply with environmental, health and safety laws as they relate to our
manufacturing operations and in proposing and implementing any remedial plans that may be
necessary. We also regularly conduct comprehensive environmental, health and safety audits at our
facilities to maintain compliance and improve operational efficiency.
Although we believe past operations were in substantial compliance with the then applicable
regulations, we or one of our subsidiaries have been named as a potentially responsible party, or
are otherwise involved, at 19 sites where the costs to us are expected to exceed $100,000.
Investigations have been completed for 14 sites and are in progress at the other five sites. The
majority of these remediation projects involve former operating facilities that were sold or closed
and primarily deal with remediation of soil and groundwater contamination.
As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, EnPro had accrued liabilities of $21.3 million and
$22.1 million, respectively, for estimated future expenditures relating to environmental
contingencies. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
regarding our environmental contingencies.
Colt Firearms and Central Moloney
We have contingent liabilities related to divested businesses for which certain of our
subsidiaries retained liability or are obligated under indemnity agreements. These contingent
liabilities include, but are not limited to, potential product liability and associated claims
related to Coltec Industries Incs (Coltec), one of our subsidiaries, former Colt Firearms
subsidiary for firearms manufactured prior to its divestiture in 1990 and Coltecs former Central
Moloney subsidiary for electrical transformers manufactured prior to its divestiture in 1994. No
product liability claims are currently pending against Coltec related to Colt Firearms or Central
Moloney. Coltec also has ongoing obligations, which are included in retained liabilities of
previously owned businesses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, with regard to workers
compensation, retiree medical and other retiree benefit matters that relate to Coltecs periods of
ownership of these operations.
31
Crucible Materials Corporation
Crucible Materials Corporation (Crucible), which is engaged primarily in the manufacture and
distribution of high technology specialty metal products, was a wholly owned subsidiary of Coltec
until 1985 when a majority of the outstanding shares were sold. Coltec divested its remaining
minority interest in 2004. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information
about certain liabilities relating to Coltecs ownership of Crucible.
Debt Guarantees
As of March 31, 2009, we had contingent liabilities for potential payments on guarantees of
certain debt obligations totaling $3.2 million. These guarantees arose from the divestiture of
Crucible and Central Moloney, and expire at various dates through 2010. There is no liability for
these guarantees reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the event that the other parties
do not fulfill their obligations under the debt agreements, we could be responsible for these
obligations.
Asbestos
History. Certain of our subsidiaries, primarily Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC
(Garlock) and The Anchor Packing Company (Anchor), are among a large number of defendants in
actions filed in various states by plaintiffs alleging injury or death as a result of exposure to
asbestos fibers. Among the products at issue in these actions are industrial sealing products,
including gaskets and packing products. Since the first asbestos-related lawsuits were filed
against Garlock in 1975, Garlock and Anchor have processed more than 900,000 asbestos claims to
conclusion (including judgments, settlements and dismissals) and, together with their insurers,
have paid almost $1.4 billion in settlements and judgments and over $400 million in fees and
expenses. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by
reference, for information on the disease mix in the claims, new claims recently filed, product
defenses asserted by our subsidiaries, recent trial and appeal results, and settlements.
Status of Anchor. Anchor is an inactive and insolvent indirect subsidiary of Coltec.
There is no remaining insurance coverage available to Anchor. Anchor has no remaining assets and
has not committed to settle any actions since 1998. As cases reach the trial stage, Anchor is
typically dismissed without payment.
Insurance Coverage. At March 31, 2009, Garlock had available $302.2 million of
insurance and trust coverage that we believe will be available to cover future asbestos claims and
certain expense payments. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information about the quality of Garlocks solvent insurance, additional insurance classified as
insolvent, arrangements for payments with certain insurers, the resolution of past insurance
disputes, and coverage exclusions for exposure after July 1, 1984.
Our Liability Estimate. Prior to mid-2004, we maintained that our subsidiaries
liability for unasserted claims was not reasonably estimable. We estimated and recorded
liabilities only for pending claims in advanced stages of processing, for which we believed we had
a basis for making a reasonable estimate. We disclosed the significance of the total potential
liability for unasserted claims in considerable detail. During 2004, we authorized counsel to
retain Bates White to assist in estimating our subsidiaries liability for pending and future
asbestos claims.
Bates Whites first report, dated February 17, 2005, provided an estimate of the liability as
of December 31, 2004 for the following ten years, which represented a time horizon within which
Bates White believed such liability was both probable and estimable within a range of values.
Bates White has
32
updated its estimate every quarter since the end of 2004. Beginning in 2009, Bates White will
update its estimate of the Companys subsidiaries liability for pending and future asbestos claims
annually in the fourth quarter.
Each quarter until the fourth quarter of 2006, we adopted the Bates White estimate and
adjusted the liability to equal the low end of the then-current range. Until the second quarter of
2006, the additional liability was recorded with a corresponding increase in our insurance
receivable, and thus did not affect net income. During the second quarter of 2006, however, our
insurance was fully allocated to past, present and future claims, and therefore subsequent changes
to the Bates White estimate were recorded as charges to income.
We have independently developed internal estimates for asbestos-related liabilities. We have
used those estimates for a variety of purposes, including guidance for settlement negotiations and
trial strategy, in our strategic planning, budgeting and cash flow planning processes, and in
setting targets for annual and long-term incentive compensation. Our internal estimate has been
within the Bates White range of equally likely estimates and has proven to be a more precise
predictor of the actual amounts spent on settlements and verdicts than the low end of the Bates
White range. As a result, while the low end of the Bates White range still provides a reasonable
lower boundary of possible outcomes, Bates White and management believe that our internal estimate
for the next ten years represents the most likely point within the range. Accordingly, we adjusted
the recorded liability from the low end of the Bates White estimate to our point estimate in the
fourth quarter of 2006 and have adjusted the liability in each subsequent quarter consistent with
our internal estimates.
We currently estimate that the liability of our subsidiaries for the indemnity cost of
resolving asbestos claims for the next ten years will be $456.4 million. The estimated liability
of $456.4 million is before any tax benefit and is not discounted to present value, and it does not
include fees and expenses, which are recorded as incurred. The recorded liability will continue to
be impacted by actual claims and settlement experience and any change in the legal environment that
could cause a significant increase or decrease in the long-term expectations of management and
Bates White. We expect the recorded liability to fluctuate, perhaps significantly. Any
significant change in the estimated liability could have a material effect on our consolidated
financial position and results of operations.
Our estimate is within the Bates White range, developed independently, and we believe that
our estimate is the best estimate within the Bates White range of reasonable and probable estimates
of Garlocks future obligation. At December 31, 2008, Bates White also indicated a broader range
of potential estimates from $189 million to $711 million. We caution that points within or outside
that broader range remain possible outcomes. Also, while we agree with Bates White that beyond
two to four years for Garlocks economically-driven non-malignant claims and beyond ten years for
Garlocks cancer claims and medically-driven non-malignant claims, there are reasonable scenarios
in which the [asbestos] expenditure is de minimus, we caution that the process of estimating
future liabilities is highly uncertain. Adjusting our liability to the best estimate within the
range does not change that fact. In the words of the Bates White report, the reliability of
estimates of future probable expenditures of Garlock for asbestos-related personal injury claims
declines significantly for each year further into the future. Scenarios continue to exist that
could result in a total future asbestos liability for pending and future claims for Garlock in
excess of $1 billion.
As previously mentioned, the liability estimate does not include legal fees and expenses,
which add considerably to the costs each year. Over the last two years, these expenses have
averaged approximately $6 million per quarter. In addition to these legal fees and expenses, we
expect to continue to record charges or credits to income in future quarters for:
|
|
|
Increases or decreases, if any, in our estimate of Garlocks potential liability,
plus |
33
|
|
|
Increases, if any, that result from additional quarters added to maintain the
ten-year estimation period (increases of this type have averaged approximately $6
million per quarter for the last two years), plus |
|
|
|
|
Amounts, if any, of solvent insurance lost or commuted, amounts of recoveries from
insolvent carriers, and earnings from insurance settlement trusts. |
In the first quarter of 2009, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $13.6 million to reflect net
cash outlays of $4.8 million for fees and expenses paid during the quarter and an $8.8 million
non-cash charge consisting of $6.3 million to add an estimate of the liability for the first
quarter of 2019 to maintain a ten-year estimate and an increase of $2.5 million in incurred but
unpaid legal fees. In the first quarter of 2008, we recorded a pre-tax charge of $12.1 million to
reflect cash outlays of $5.6 million for fees and expenses incurred during the quarter and a $6.5
million non-cash charge primarily to add an estimate for the first quarter of 2018 to maintain a
ten-year estimate.
See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about our
liability estimate.
Quantitative Claims and Insurance Information. Our liability as of March 31, 2009 was
$465.8 million (our estimate of the liability described above of $456.4 million plus $9.4 million
of accrued legal and other fees already incurred but not yet paid). The liability as of March 31,
2009, included $96.4 million classified as a current liability and $369.4 million classified as a
noncurrent liability. The recorded amounts do not include legal fees and expenses to be incurred
in the future. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information
about pending cases, insurance, cash flows and our liability.
Strategy. Garlocks strategy is to focus on trial-listed cases and other cases in
advanced stages, to reduce new settlement commitments each year, to carefully manage and maximize
insurance collections, and to proactively support legislative and other efforts aimed at meaningful
asbestos reform. We believe that this strategy should result in the reduction of the negative
annual cash flow impact from asbestos claims over time. However, the risk of large verdicts
sometimes impacts the implementation of the strategy, and therefore it is likely that, from time to
time, Garlock will enter into settlements that involve large numbers of cases, including
early-stage cases, when it believes that the risk outweighs the benefits of the strategy. We
believe that, as predicted in various epidemiological studies that are publicly available, the
incidence of asbestos-related disease is in decline and should continue to decline steadily over
the next decade and thereafter, so that claims activity against Garlock will eventually decline to
a level that can be paid from the cash flow expected from Garlocks operations, even after Garlock
exhausts its insurance coverage. However, there can be no assurance that epidemiological
predictions about incidence of asbestos-related disease will prove to be accurate, or that, even if
they are, there will be a commensurate decline in the number of asbestos-related claims filings.
Considering the foregoing, as well as the experience of our subsidiaries and other defendants
in asbestos litigation, the likely sharing of judgments among multiple responsible defendants,
bankruptcies of other defendants, and legislative efforts, and given the amount of insurance
coverage available to our subsidiaries from solvent insurance carriers, we believe that pending
asbestos actions against our subsidiaries are not likely to have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition, but could be material to our results of operations or cash flows in given
future periods. We anticipate that asbestos claims will continue to be filed against our
subsidiaries. Because of (1) the uncertainty as to the number and timing of potential future
claims and the amount that will have to be paid to litigate, settle or satisfy claims, and (2) the
finite amount of insurance available for future payments, future claims could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
34
Reform Legislation. Reform measures have been adopted in several states and are
likely to be considered from time-to-time on a state-by-state basis in a number of other
jurisdictions. While reform legislation ultimately may be adopted by the U.S. Congress, it appears
unlikely that any federal asbestos legislation will be enacted in the foreseeable future.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to certain market risks as part of our ongoing business operations, including
risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates that could impact our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these and
other market risks through regular operating and financing activities or through the use of
derivative financial instruments. We intend to use derivative financial instruments as risk
management tools and not for speculative investment purposes. For information about our interest
rate risk, see Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Interest Rate Risk
in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the following section.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations. These
risks include the translation of local currency balances of our foreign subsidiaries, intercompany
loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our objective
is to control our exposure to these risks through our normal operating activities and, where
appropriate, through foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts. The following table

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The
purpose of our disclosure controls and procedures is to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, including this
report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that
such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions
regarding disclosure.
35
Based on the controls evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to reasonably ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified, and that management will be
timely alerted to material information required to be included in our periodic reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting has occurred during
the quarter ended March 31, 2009, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

A total of 1,374 shares were transferred to a rabbi trust that we established in connection
with our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, pursuant to which non-employee
directors may elect to defer directors fees into common stock units. Coltec, which is a
wholly owned subsidiary of EnPro, furnished these shares in exchange for management and other
services provided by EnPro. These shares were valued at a price of $17.05 per share, the
average of the high and low prices of our common stock on March 31, 2009. We do not consider
the transfer of shares from Coltec in this context to be pursuant to a publicly announced plan
or program. |
