Flowserve acquires Lawrence Pumps

Flowserve Corp. (NYSE:FLS) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Lawrence Pumps, Inc., a privately owned American manufacturer of highly engineered critical service centrifugal pumps used primarily in the petrochemical and oil and gas industries.

The acquisition of Lawrence will provide Flowserve with severe service API and chemical slurry pump technology that is critical to the refining, oil sands, polyolefin and polyethylene industries, which are core markets for Flowserve. The acquisition is expected to close early in the fourth quarter of 2011 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approval in the U.S.

"Lawrence has consistently been an industry leader in critical slurry services solving complex pumping problems involving solids and high temperatures in our core markets," said Tom Ferguson, president, Flowserve Flow Solutions Group. "The Lawrence brand has an outstanding reputation, and many Lawrence products have proprietary niche applications that strategically complement our industry-leading portfolio. We look forward to leveraging our expansive network of service centers and global sales force to expand the reach of Lawrence products and capture unrealized aftermarket potential as we continue to serve the needs of our customers."

"We are excited to become part of the Flowserve family," said Paul Reddick, president, Lawrence Pumps, Inc. "Flowserve provides Lawrence an industry-leading global platform that will provide us the opportunity to drive future growth and the resources to develop new reliability-enhancing products."

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, Lawrence had revenues of approximately $44 million and EBITDA of approximately $8 million. For 2011, Lawrence estimates having revenues of around $50 million and EBITDA of around $10 million.

Flowserve expects to fund the transaction with cash on hand. Other terms of the acquisition were not announced. Based on initial valuations, the Lawrence acquisition is expected to have a dilutive impact of less than $0.05 on the company's 2011 earnings per share due to transaction costs and non-cash purchase price accounting effects from inventory and backlog revaluation, partially offset by favorable operations impact.

"We are excited about our acquisition of Lawrence, as it reflects our disciplined approach during the current economic environment to use our strong balance sheet to grow Flowserve in a way that meaningfully increases long-term shareholder value," said Mark Blinn, Flowserve president and chief executive officer. "The close strategic fit of Lawrence's highly-engineered products, the meaningful synergies our management team has identified and the transaction size, which enables us to 'tuck in' Lawrence to the global Flowserve platform, combine to make the transaction a good example of our acquisition strategy. We plan to follow this disciplined approach as we evaluate similar shareholder value-creating opportunities that meet both our strategic and financial return objectives."

Lawrence Pumps was formed in 1936 and is headquartered in Lawrence, Mass. With locations in China, India and Singapore, Lawrence specializes in the design, development and manufacture of engineered centrifugal pumps for critical services within the petroleum refining, petrochemical, pulp and paper, and energy markets.

Moser Baer India to develop Thermal Power Plant

Moser Baer India Ltd (MBIL) plans to develop 6,000 MW of thermal power plants in Gujarat and Orissa in the next three to four years with an investment of nearly Rs 30,000 crore, a senior official said here on Wednesday.

"We have signed an MoU with the Gujarat Government for a 4,000-MW thermal power project and another with the Orissa Government for a 1,980-MW project. We are in the process of selecting the sites in the two States," Mr Ratul Puri, Executive Director, MBIL, told Business Linehere.

COAL LINKAGES

MBIL is constructing thermal power plants of 3,840 MW capacity in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh with an investment of about Rs 20,000 crore. They include a 2,520-MW (660x2, 600x2) plant at Anuppur, near Shahdol in Madhya Pradesh, and 1,320-MW (660x2) unit at Champa, Chhattisgarh. Both these projects are almost on pit-heads, with coal source being around 100 km away.

The company has a primary coal linkage with South-Eastern Coalfields Ltd, a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd, and also has two captive merchant coal mines at Sondhia in Chhattisgarh with 100 million tonnes of reserves. MBIL will require 20 mt domestic coal for these power plants, he said.

About MBIL's hydro-electricity projects, Mr Puri said the two hydel projects in Himachal Pradesh are expected to be commissioned from 2015 to produce 560 MW from the Chenab waters. The company has invested about Rs 7.50 crore per MW on these projects. Besides, it will also start work in 2014 on two hydel projects in Nepal to produce 1,200 MW.

The Chief Minister, Mr Narendra Modi, will inaugurate Moser Baer's 30-MW, Rs 465-crore solar energy farm on October 14 at Gunthawada in Banaskantha district of North Gujarat.

Mr Puri, who is also chairman of Moser Baer Projects Pvt Ltd (MBPPL), said this would be Asia's largest solar energy farm and also the first major project commissioned under the Gujarat Solar Mission, 2009. The multinational company plans to commission 300 MW of solar projects in the next 12 months in India, Germany, Italy and the UK. "We will have 100 MW of solar operational capacity this month and plan to install more than five giga-watt (Gw) by 2020."
