      Reports First Quarter 2017 Financial Results</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      MANSFIELD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 2017--The Gorman-Rupp
      Company (NYSE MKT: GRC) reports financial results for the first quarter
      ended March 31, 2017.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net sales during the first quarter were $92.6 million compared to $100.3
      million during the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of 7.6% or $7.7
      million. Excluding sales from the New Orleans Permanent Canal Closures &amp;
      Pumps (&#8220;PCCP&#8221;) project of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 and
      $5.3 million for the same period in 2016, net sales during the quarter
      decreased 2.9% or $2.8 million. Domestic sales, excluding PCCP,
      decreased 5.8% or $3.6 million while international sales increased 2.6%
      or $0.8 million compared to the same period in 2016.
    </p>
    <p>
      Sales in our larger water markets, excluding PCCP, decreased 4.0% or
      $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter
      of 2016. Sales in the construction market increased $1.1 million due
      primarily to sales for rental market customers and sales of repair parts
      increased $1.0 million. Sales in the municipal market, excluding PCCP,
      decreased $1.9 million driven by decreased shipments attributable to
      other flood control projects and sales in the fire protection market
      decreased $1.6 million principally due to lower domestic sales. Also,
      sales in the agriculture market decreased $1.3 million due to wet
      weather conditions in some key domestic locations and low farm income.
    </p>
    <p>
      Sales decreased 0.6% or $0.2 million in non-water markets during the
      first quarter of 2017 compared to the first quarter of 2016. Sales in
      the industrial market increased $1.7 million driven by an increase in
      oil and gas drilling activity and sales in the OEM market increased $0.8
      million driven by infrastructure spending relating to gas production.
      These increases were offset by decreased shipments of $2.6 million in
      the petroleum market driven by challenging market conditions.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit was $21.2 million for the first quarter of 2017, resulting
      in gross margin of 22.9%, compared to gross profit of $22.9 million and
      gross margin of 22.8% for the same period in 2016. Gross margin includes
      a non-cash pension settlement charge of $1.1 million or 110 basis points
      in the first quarter of 2017 which did not occur in the first quarter of
      2016. Excluding the non-cash pension settlement charge, the 120 basis
      point increase in gross margin was due principally to favorable sales
      mix. Offsetting the sales mix benefit was a 60 basis point increase in
      healthcare expenses and an increase in overhead expenses as a percent of
      sales driven by lower leverage due to sales volume decreases.
    </p>
    <p>
      Selling, general and administrative expense (&#8220;SG&amp;A&#8221;) was $14.2 million
      for the first quarter of 2017 and 15.3% of net sales, compared to $13.7
      million and 13.6% of net sales for the same period in 2016. SG&amp;A
      includes a non-cash pension settlement charge of $0.6 million or 70
      basis points in the first quarter of 2017 which did not occur in the
      first quarter of 2016. The increase in SG&amp;A as percent of sales,
      excluding the non-cash pension settlement charge, was due principally to
      loss of leverage due to lower sales volume. Excluding the non-cash
      pension settlement charge, SG&amp;A decreased slightly compared to the same
      period last year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Operating income was $7.0 million, resulting in operating margin of 7.5%
      for the first quarter of 2017, compared to operating income of $9.2
      million and operating margin of 9.2% for the same period in 2016. The
      decline in operating margin was largely driven by a non-cash pension
      settlement charge totaling $1.7 million or 180 basis points in the first
      quarter of 2017 which did not occur in the same period in 2016 and lower
      operating leverage due to sales volume decreases.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net income was $5.1 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to
      $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2016 and earnings per share were
      $0.19 and $0.24 for the respective periods. A non-cash pension
      settlement charge decreased the first quarter of 2017 earnings by $0.04
      per share.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s backlog of orders was $96.9 million at March 31, 2017
      compared to $111.0 million at March 31, 2016 and $98.8 million at
      December&#160;31, 2016. Excluding the PCCP project in 2017 and 2016, the
      backlog at March 31, 2017 was down 8.6% as compared to March 31, 2016.
      In addition to the impact of PCCP, backlog has been impacted by lower
      orders in the petroleum and fire protection markets.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company generated $7.6 million of operating cash flow during the
      first quarter of 2017. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $60.5 million
      at March 31, 2017 and working capital increased $6.0 million from
      December 31, 2016 to $160.6 million at March 31, 2017. The Company had
      no bank debt as of March 31, 2017. Capital expenditures for the quarter
      ended March 31, 2017 of $2.0 million consisted primarily of machinery
      and equipment. Capital expenditures for the full-year 2017 are presently
      planned to be in the range of $8 to $10 million and are expected to be
      financed through internally-generated funds.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company is very proud to have been recognized for the sixth
      consecutive year as one of the 100 Most Trustworthy Companies in America
      by Forbes. To create this list, the year&#8217;s public filings of 2,500
      publicly-traded nonfinancial American companies with market
      capitalizations of $250 million or more were reviewed and evaluated in
      depth to identify the 100 that most &#8220;consistently demonstrated
      transparent accounting practices and solid corporate governance.&#8221; Among
      the 47 small cap honorees, Gorman-Rupp had the highest annual rating and
      the highest rating over the past four quarters.
    </p>
    <p>
      Jeffrey S. Gorman, President and CEO commented, &#8220;We saw above expected
      sales growth in construction and industrial, hopefully signaling more
      opportunities in these markets. Headwinds still prevail however,
      especially for capital spending in the agriculture and some oil and gas
      related markets. We remain focused on long-term growth both domestically
      and internationally while preserving short-term profitability and
      shareholder value.&#8221;
