NON-CASH GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT

Dealing with Reality of Energy Industry Reset
• We Performed Step One of the Goodwill Impairment Analysis as Required by the Accounting Rules and Concluded the Fair Value of Valves & Controls was Below its Carrying Value
• Carrying Value Established in 2012 at Fair Value with Flow Control Merger … Oil was >$100 at that Time
• Since 2012, the Energy Industry has Faced a Significant Reset … Uncertainty Remains Around the Timing of a Recovery in the Energy Industry
• We Estimate a Pre-Tax Non-Cash Impairment Charge in the Range of $400M to $600M to be Recorded in Q4 2015
