NOTE G – ACQUISITION


In June 2014, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, National Pump Company, acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of Bayou City Pump, Inc. (“BCP”). Founded in 1973, BCP is a leading manufacturer of and service provider for highly-reliable and energy-efficient vertical turbine pumping systems primarily for the inland and coastal marine liquid petroleum and chemical transportation market. BCP has steadily expanded its product designs and service capabilities in recent years to become a significant market share provider in North American marine transportation. BCP also has developed and manufactures a specialty sludge pumping system for use in a variety of industrial applications. During 2013, BCP had approximately $16 million in revenue from sales of its products and services through its Houston, Texas headquarters and its service facility location in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. BCP's strong customer relationships and long history will help expand sales in targeted niche markets complementary to National Pump Company's significant and growing vertical turbine products leadership position. In addition, its Houston, Texas base will provide additional capacity and machining capabilities in combination with National Pump's existing location acquired late in 2012, which together will assist The Gorman-Rupp Company in expanding its growing Gulf Coast operations.


The results of operations of the acquired business have been included in Gorman-Rupp’s consolidated results since the effective date of the transaction. The company financed the all-cash acquisition through a short-term unsecured bank loan of $18.0 million. Supplemental pro forma information has not been provided as the acquisition did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations.
