adjusted EBITDA financial
"The acquired business is expected to have adjusted EBITDA margins in the high teens"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Flowserve Business System financial
"Flowserve will integrate TVD using the Flowserve Business System and apply its rigorous 80/20 operating principles"
80/20 operating principles financial
"apply its rigorous 80/20 operating principles, which are anticipated to enhance operational performance"
A management approach that focuses resources and attention on the small portion of activities, customers, or products that produce the majority of results — the idea that roughly 20% of inputs create about 80% of outcomes. For investors, it signals whether a business is prioritizing its most valuable revenue drivers and trimming waste, which can improve margins, growth predictability and the odds that capital is used efficiently, much like pruning a garden to let the healthiest plants thrive.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This news release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regulatory
"made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended"
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Flowserve Corporation (NYSE: FLS) (“Flowserve” or the “Company”), a leading provider of flow control products and services for the global infrastructure markets, has closed its all-cash acquisition of Trillium Flow Technologies’ Valves Division1 (“TVD”) for $490 million plus working capital adjustments. TVD is a leading provider of highly engineered mission-critical valves and other flow control equipment used in nuclear and traditional power generation, industrial, and critical infrastructure applications.
TVD’s comprehensive portfolio of brands serves a global customer base across attractive and growing end markets with a nearly 200-year legacy of engineering excellence and reliable performance. The acquisition will expand Flowserve’s reach in both conventional and emerging end markets by integrating TVD’s highly specialized valve and actuation product portfolio, differentiated power and nuclear technology, and scalable service offerings.
“We are pleased to welcome the TVD team to Flowserve,” said Scott Rowe, Flowserve President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have positioned Flowserve to identify and win in growth sectors, such as nuclear, that drive sustainable and profitable long-term growth. TVD strengthens our position in the accelerating power and nuclear markets and enables us to build on the deep customer relationships we have already developed in this space. Our disciplined approach to capital allocation led to this transaction, which we expect to enhance growth and margin expansion."
Flowserve will integrate TVD using the Flowserve Business System and apply its rigorous 80/20 operating principles, which are anticipated to enhance operational performance, expand margins, and better serve customers with a powerful portfolio of products, services, and aftermarket capabilities. The acquired business is expected to have adjusted EBITDA margins in the high teens, with annualized revenue of approximately $200 million after contemplating reductions from applying 80/20 principles.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods, providing investors with a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, planning and compensation decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
All forward-looking statements included in this news release are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
