“During 2015 and into the fourth quarter, our end-markets deteriorated further than anticipated a year ago and we are not currently forecasting near-term improvement. However, Flowserve’s operating results for the fourth quarter were solid, which generated full year Adjusted EPS in-line with our third quarter guidance. SIHI, which was acquired in the 2015 first quarter, also delivered on our expectations for the year,” said Mark Blinn, Flowserve’s president and chief executive officer. “In light of current business conditions, we are using this as an opportunity to accelerate our longer-term plans by implementing key strategic and structural changes to our operating platform and cost structure, which we anticipate will enable continued success in varied market conditions.
