Employees hired prior to this date continue to accrue benefits.

Additionally, the Company sponsors defined contribution pension plans made available to all domestic and Canadian employees. The Company funds the cost of these benefits as incurred.

The Company also sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit postretirement health care plan that provides health benefits to certain domestic and Canadian retirees and eligible spouses and dependent children. The Company funds the cost of these benefits as incurred.

Total long-term debt, net	$	292,765		$	284,406

The carrying value of long term debt, including the current portion, approximates fair value as the variable interest rates approximate rates available to other market participants with comparable credit risk, and interest rates as of March 31, 2026 were approximately the same as interest rates at the time the fixed rate agreement was executed.

Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement

On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement”) with several lenders, which amended, extended, and restated the Company’s previous Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2022. The Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $370 million (the “Senior Term Loan Facility”), a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million (the “Credit Facility”), a letter of credit sub-facility in the aggregate available amount of up to $30 million, as a sublimit of the Credit Facility, and a swing line sub-facility in the aggregate available amount of up to $20 million, as a sublimit of the Credit Facility. The obligations of the Company under the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of its personal property, and guaranteed by certain of the Company’s direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), which guarantees are secured by a first priority lien in substantially all of the Guarantors’ personal property.

The Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement has a maturity date of May 31, 2029, with the Senior Term Loan Facility requiring quarterly installment payments commencing on September 30, 2024 and continuing on the last day of each consecutive December, March, June and September thereafter. The Company has made payments in excess of the required minimum installment payments, which have been applied to future required minimum quarterly installment payments. As a result, the Company does not have any required quarterly installment payments due under the Senior Term Loan Facility within the next 12 months.

At the option of the Company, borrowings under the Senior Term Loan Facility and under the Credit Facility bear interest at either a base rate or at an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Senor Credit Agreement), plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 0.5% to 1.25% for base rate loans and 1.50% to 2.25% for Adjusted Term SOFR Rate loans. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. At March 31, 2026, the applicable interest rate under the Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement was Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.0%, or 5.8%.

The Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a consolidated total net leverage ratio not to exceed 3.50 to 1.00 for the four consecutive fiscal quarter periods ending December 31, 2025 and each of the four consecutive fiscal quarter periods ending thereafter.

The Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 for any four consecutive fiscal quarter period.

The Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including among others, limitations on the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to the incurrence of liens and indebtedness, dispositions of assets, mergers, transaction with affiliates, and the ability to make or pay dividends in excess of certain thresholds.

The Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement also contains customary provisions requiring certain mandatory prepayments, including, among others, prepayments of the net cash proceeds from any non-ordinary course sale of assets, and net cash proceeds of any non-permitted indebtedness.

6.40% Note Agreement

On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Note Agreement (the “6.40% Note Agreement”) whereby the Company issued $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.40% senior secured notes (the “6.40% Notes”). The Company’s obligations under the 6.40% Notes are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of its personal property, and guaranteed by each of the Guarantors, which guarantees are secured by a first priority lien in substantially all of the Guarantors’ personal property. The liens granted under the 6.40% Notes are equal in priority to those granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement.

The 6.40% Note Agreement has a maturity date of May 31, 2031 and interest is payable semiannually on the last day of May and November in each year.

The 6.40% Note Agreement includes representations, warranties, covenants and events of default, substantially consistent with those contained in the Amended and Restated Senior Credit Agreement.

Other

The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2026.

Interest Rate Derivatives

The Company entered into interest rate swaps that hedge interest payments on its SOFR borrowing during the fourth quarter of 2022. All swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges. The following table summarizes the notional amounts, related rates and remaining terms of interest swap agreements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:


	Notional Amount				Average Fixed Rate
	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025		March 31, 2026			December 31, 2025			Term
Interest rate swaps	$	131,250	$	135,625		4.1	%		4.1	%	Extending to May 2027

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps was a payable of $0.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and a payable of $1.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The fair value was based on inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that are observable either directly or indirectly and therefore considered level 2. The mark-to-market effect of interest rate swap agreements that are considered effective as hedges has been included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. The interest rate swap agreements held by the Company on March 31, 2026 are expected to continue to be effective hedges through the end of their respective terms.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments as recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:


	March 31, 2026			December 31, 2025
Liabilities:
Accrued expenses	$	(504	)	$	(847	)

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Dollars in thousands, except for per share amounts)

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, and notes thereto, and the other financial data included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Executive Overview

The Gorman-Rupp Company (“we”, “our”, “Gorman-Rupp” or the “Company”) is a leading designer, manufacturer and international marketer of pumps and pump systems for use in diverse water, wastewater, construction, dewatering, industrial, petroleum, original equipment, agriculture, fire suppression, heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), military and other liquid-handling applications. The Company attributes its success to long-term product quality, applications and performance combined with timely delivery and service, and continually seeks to develop initiatives to improve performance in these key areas.

We regularly invest in training for our employees, in new product development and in modern manufacturing equipment, technology and facilities all designed to increase production efficiency and capacity and drive growth by delivering innovative solutions to our customers. We believe that the diversity of our markets is a major contributor to the generally stable financial growth we have produced historically.

Incoming orders for the first three months of 2026 were $187.5 million, or an increase of 5.5%, compared to the same period in 2025. The Company’s backlog of orders was $247.9 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $217.8 million at March 31, 2025 and $244.0 million at December 31, 2025.

The Company currently expects to continue its exceptional history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.

Outlook

Demand during the first quarter of 2026 remained broad‑based across most of our end markets with incoming order volumes supporting sales growth and increasing our backlog, which we believe positions us well for the remainder of the year. We also generated strong operating cash flow and reduced debt during the first quarter. As we move forward, we remain focused on disciplined execution, investing appropriately in the business, and delivering long-term profitable growth.

Total net sales	$	176,593	$	163,948	$	12,645			7.7	%

Net sales for the first quarter of 2026 were $176.6 million compared to net sales of $163.9 million for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 7.7%, or $12.7 million. The increase was driven by volume growth as well as pricing increases which averaged approximately 3.0% in both 2025 and 2026.

Sales increased in the majority of our markets, including increases of $6.3 million in the construction market due to increased demand in mining and sales of rental equipment, $4.4 million in the agriculture market due to broad based improvement across Fill-Rite's sale channels, $3.5 million in the industrial market due to increased domestic investment, $2.9 million in the municipal market due to increased water and wastewater projects related to infrastructure investment, and $1.7 million in the OEM market due to increased demand related to data centers. These increases were partially offset by a sales decrease of $5.5 million in the fire suppression market primarily due to reduced international shipments. Sales also decreased $0.3 million in the petroleum market and $0.3 million in the repair market.

Cost of Products Sold and Gross Profit


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025			$ Change		% Change

Gross profit was $57.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, resulting in gross margin of 32.5%, compared to gross profit of $50.3 million and gross margin of 30.7% for the same period in 2025. The 180 basis point increase in gross margin was driven by a 100 basis point improvement in labor and overhead leverage from increased sales and an 80 basis point improvement in cost of material due in part to favorable product mix.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025			$ Change		% Change
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	26,802		$	25,107		$	1,695		6.8	%
% of Net sales		15.2	%		15.3	%

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $26.8 million and 15.2% of net sales for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $25.1 million and 15.3% of net sales for the same period in 2025. SG&A expenses increased due to higher advertising expenses related to trade show activity as well as increased freight out costs driven by increased sales.

Operating Income


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025			$ Change		% Change
Operating Income	$	27,477		$	22,125		$	5,352		24.2	%
% of Net sales		15.6	%		13.5	%

Operating income was $27.5 million for the first quarter of 2026, resulting in an operating margin of 15.6%, compared to operating income of $22.1 million and an operating margin of 13.5% for the same period in 2025. The 210 basis point increase in operating margin was driven by improved leverage on labor, overhead, and SG&A expenses due to increased sales and favorable product mix.

Interest Expense


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025			$ Change			% Change
Interest Expense	$	4,967		$	6,203		$	(1,236	)		(19.9	%)
% of Net sales		2.8	%		3.8	%

Interest expense was $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to a decrease in outstanding debt.

Net Income


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026			2025			$ Change		% Change
Income before income taxes	$	22,252		$	15,536		$	6,716		43.2	%

The Company’s effective tax rate was 19.8% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 21.9% for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate was driven by a favorable discrete adjustment recorded during the first quarter of 2026. The Company expects the effective tax rate for the full year 2026 to be between 22.0% and 23.0%.

Net income was $17.8 million, or $0.68 per share, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to net income of $12.1 million, or $0.46 per share, in the first quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA was $35.5 million and 20.1% of sales for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $29.7 million and 18.1% of sales for the first quarter of 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The discussion of Results of Operations above includes certain non-GAAP financial data and measures such as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization is net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude non-cash LIFO expense. Management utilizes these adjusted financial data and measures to assess comparative operations against those of prior periods without the distortion of non-comparable factors. The inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which the Company has made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. Further, the impact of the LIFO inventory costing method can cause results to vary substantially from company to company depending upon whether they elect to utilize LIFO and depending upon which LIFO method they may elect. The Gorman-Rupp Company believes that these non-GAAP financial data and measures also will be useful to investors in assessing the strength of the Company’s underlying operations and liquidity from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Provided below is a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to its corresponding GAAP financial measure, which includes a description of actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from operations and borrowings under our Credit Facility. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $29.9 million at March 31, 2026. The Company had an additional $99.6 million available under the revolving credit facility after deducting $0.4 million in outstanding letters of credit primarily related to customer orders. We believe we have adequate liquidity from funds on hand and borrowing capacity to execute our financial and operating strategy, as well as comply with financial covenants, for at least the next 12 months. The Company has made payments on the Senior Term Loan Facility in excess of the required minimum installment payments and, as a result, has no required quarterly installment payments due on the Senior Term Loan Facility within the next 12 months.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $295.8 million in total debt outstanding with $265.8 million due in 2029 and $30.0 million due in 2031. The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants, including limits on additional borrowings and maintenance of certain operating and financial ratios, at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. See “Note 9 – Financing Arrangements” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for a further description of our outstanding debt.

Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2026 were $4.3 million consisting of machinery and equipment and a building. Capital expenditures for the full-year 2026 are presently planned to be approximately $22.0 - $24.0 million primarily for machinery and equipment, and are expected to be financed through cash from operations.

On April 23, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized the payment of a quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share on the common stock of the Company, payable June 10, 2026, to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2026. This will mark the 305th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by The Gorman-Rupp Company. The Company currently expects to continue its exceptional history of paying regular quarterly dividends and increased annual dividends. However, any future dividends will be reviewed individually and declared by our Board of Directors at its discretion, dependent on our assessment of the Company’s financial condition and business outlook at the applicable time.

The Board of Directors has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common shares. The actual number of shares repurchased will depend on prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors, and will be determined at management’s discretion. The Company is not obligated to make any purchases under the program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $48.1 million available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.

	2026			2025
Beginning of period cash and cash equivalents	$	35,083		$	24,213
Net cash provided by operating activities		21,987			21,100
Net cash used for investing activities		(4,131	)		(3,001	)

End of period cash and cash equivalents	$	29,855		$	21,840

The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of 2026 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to increased net income partially offset by increased working capital for the three month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period last year.

During the first three months of 2026, investing activities included $4.3 million of capital expenditures for machinery and equipment and a building. During the first three months of 2025, investing activities of $3.0 million consisted of capital expenditures primarily for machinery and equipment.

Net cash used for financing activities of $22.7 million for the first three months of 2026 primarily consisted of net payments on bank borrowings of $15.0 million, dividend payments of $5.0 million, and $2.6 million of payments in the surrender of common shares to cover taxes upon the vesting of stock awards. Net cash used for financing activities of $20.6 million for the first three months of 2025 primarily consisted of net payments on bank borrowings of $14.6 million, dividend payments of $4.9 million, and $1.1 million of payments in the surrender of common shares to cover taxes upon the vesting of stock awards.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

In connection with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, The Gorman-Rupp Company provides the following cautionary statement: This Form 10-Q contains various forward-looking statements based on assumptions concerning The Gorman-Rupp Company’s operations, future results and prospects. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about important economic, political, and technological factors, among others, and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results or events to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by the forward-looking statements and related assumptions.

Such uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our estimates of future earnings and cash flows, general economic conditions and supply chain conditions and any related impact on costs and availability of materials, retention of supplier and customer relationships and key employees, and the ability to service and repay indebtedness. Other factors include, but are not limited to: company specific risk factors including (1) loss of key personnel; (2) intellectual property security; (3) growth through acquisitions; (4) the Company’s indebtedness and how it may impact the Company’s financial condition and the way it operates its business; (5) impairment in the value of intangible assets, including goodwill; (6) defined benefit pension plan settlement expense; (7) LIFO inventory method; and (8) family ownership of common equity; and general risk factors including (9) continuation of the current and projected future business environment; (10) highly competitive markets; (11) availability and costs of raw materials and labor; (12) cybersecurity threats; (13) artificial intelligence risk and challenges that can impact our business; (14) compliance with, and costs related to, a variety of import and export laws and regulations; (15) the impact of U.S. trade policy, including resulting tariffs; (16) environmental compliance costs and liabilities; (17) exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; (18) conditions in foreign countries in which The Gorman-Rupp Company conducts business; (19) changes in our tax rates and exposure to additional income tax liabilities; and (20) risks described from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except to the extent required by law,

we do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to review or update any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of such statements to reflect future events or developments or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Exposure to foreign exchange rate risk is due to certain costs and revenue being denominated in currencies other than one of the Company’s subsidiaries functional currency. The Company is also exposed to market risk as the result of changes in interest rates which may affect the cost of financing. We continually monitor these risks and regularly develop appropriate strategies to manage them. Accordingly, from time to time, we may enter into certain derivative or other financial instruments. These financial instruments are used to mitigate market exposure and are not used for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

The results of operations are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily with respect to borrowings under the Company’s Senior Term Loan Facility and Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Senior Term Loan Facility and Credit Facility may be made either at (i) a base rate plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 0.50% to 1.25%, or at (ii) an Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, plus the applicable margin, which ranges from 1.5% to 2.25%. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $265.8 million in borrowings under the Senior Term Loan Facility and no borrowings under the Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2026, the applicable interest rates under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement were Adjusted Term SOFR plus 2.0%, or 5.8%. See Note 9 “Financing Arrangements” in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

To reduce the exposure to changes in the market rate of interest, effective October 31, 2022, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements for a portion of the borrowing under the Senior Term Loan Facility. Terms of the interest rate swap agreements require the Company to receive a fixed interest rate and pay a variable interest rate with respect to the hedged portion of the Senior Term Loan Facility borrowings. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as a cash flow hedge, and as a result, the mark-to-market gains or losses will be deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to interest expense in the period during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. See “Derivative Financial Instruments” and “Interest Rate Derivatives” in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company estimates that a hypothetical increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would increase interest expense by approximately $1.3 million on an annual basis.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company’s foreign currency exchange rate risk is limited primarily to the Euro, Canadian Dollar, South African Rand and British Pound. The Company manages its foreign exchange risk principally through invoicing customers in the same currency as is used in the market of the source of products. The foreign currency transaction gains (losses) for the three month periods ending March 31, 2026 and 2025 were both ($0.1) million, and are reported within Other (expense) income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q.
