The following discussion contains management's discussion and analysis of our
financial condition and results of operations and should be read together with
our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to our
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This
discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated
in any forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those
set forth under the "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," "Item
1A. Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Executive Overview

Our Company

mission-critical air, fluid, energy and medical technologies, providing services
and solutions to increase industrial productivity and efficiency. We manufacture
one of the broadest and most complete ranges of compressor, pump, vacuum and
blower products in our markets, which, when combined with our global geographic
footprint and application expertise, allows us to provide differentiated product
and service offerings to our customers. Our products are sold under a collection
of premier, market-leading brands, including Ingersoll Rand, Gardner Denver,
Nash, CompAir, Thomas, Milton Roy, Seepex, Elmo Rietschle, ARO, Robuschi, Emco
Wheaton and Runtech Systems,
                                       23

which we believe are globally recognized in their respective end-markets and known for product quality, reliability, efficiency and superior customer service.



These attributes, along with over 160 years of engineering heritage, generate
strong brand loyalty for our products and foster long-standing customer
relationships, which we believe have resulted in leading market positions within
each of our operating segments. We have sales in all major geographic markets
and our diverse customer base utilizes our products across a wide array of
end-markets that have favorable near- and long-term growth prospects, including
industrial manufacturing, energy, transportation, medical and laboratory
sciences, food and beverage packaging and chemical processing.

Our products and services are critical to the processes and systems in which
they are utilized, which are often complex and function in harsh conditions
where the cost of failure or downtime is high. However, our products and
services typically represent only a small portion of the costs of the overall
systems or functions that they support. As a result, our customers place a high
value on our application expertise, product reliability and the responsiveness
of our service. To support our customers and market presence, we maintain
significant global scale with 61 key manufacturing facilities, approximately 39
complementary service and repair centers across six continents and approximately
16,000 employees worldwide as of December 31, 2021.

The process-critical nature of our product applications, coupled with the
standard wear and tear replacement cycles associated with the usage of our
products, generates opportunities to support customers with our broad portfolio
of aftermarket parts, consumables and services. Customers place a high value on
minimizing any time their operations are offline. As a result, the availability
of replacement parts, consumables and our repair and support services are key
components of our value proposition. Our large installed base of products
provides a recurring revenue stream through our aftermarket parts, consumables
and services offerings. As a result, our aftermarket revenue is significant,
representing 36.2% of total Company revenue and approximately 40.7% of our
Industrial Technologies and Services segment's revenue in 2021.

Components of Our Revenue and Expenses

Revenues



We generate revenue from sales of original equipment and associated aftermarket
parts, consumables and services. We sell our products and deliver services both
directly to end-users and through independent distribution channels, depending
on the product line and geography. Revenue derived from short duration contracts
is recognized at a single point in time when control is transferred to the
customer, generally at shipment or when delivery has occurred or as services are
performed. Certain contracts involve significant design engineering unique to
customer specifications, and depending upon the contractual terms, revenue is
recognized either over the duration of the contract or at contract completion
when equipment is delivered to the customer.

Expenses

Cost of Sales



Cost of sales includes the costs we incur, including purchased materials, labor
and overhead related to manufactured products and aftermarket parts sold during
a period. Depreciation related to manufacturing equipment and facilities is
included in cost of sales. Purchased materials represent the majority of costs
of sales, with steel, aluminum, copper and partially finished castings
representing our most significant material inputs. Stock-based compensation
expense for employees associated with the manufacture of products or delivery of
services to customers is included in cost of sales. We have instituted a global
sourcing strategy to take advantage of coordinated purchasing opportunities of
key materials across our manufacturing plant locations.

Cost of sales for services includes the direct costs we incur, including direct
labor, parts and other overhead costs including depreciation of equipment and
facilities, to deliver repair, maintenance and other field services to our
customers.

Selling and Administrative Expenses



Selling and administrative expenses consist of (i) salaries and other
employee-related expenses for our selling and administrative functions and other
activities not associated with the manufacture of products or delivery of
services to customers; (ii) facility operating expenses for selling and
administrative activities, including office rent, maintenance, depreciation and
insurance; (iii) marketing and direct costs of selling products and services to
customers including internal and external sales commissions; (iv) research and
development expenditures; (v) professional and consultant fees; (vi) employee
related stock-based compensation for our selling and administrative functions
and (vii) other miscellaneous expenses. Certain corporate expenses, including
those related to our shared service centers in the United States and Europe,
that directly benefit our businesses are allocated to our business segments.
Certain corporate administrative expenses, including corporate executive
compensation, treasury, certain information technology, internal audit and tax
compliance, are not allocated to the business segments.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets includes the periodic amortization of intangible assets - including customer relationships, tradenames, developed technology, backlog and internally developed software.

Impairment of Other Intangible Assets



Impairment of other intangible assets represents the recognition of non-cash
charges to reduce the carrying value of intangible assets other than goodwill to
their fair value.

Other Operating Expense, Net



Other operating expense, net includes foreign currency transaction gains and
losses, net, restructuring charges, certain shareholder litigation settlement
recoveries, acquisition and other transaction related expenses and non-cash
charges, losses and gains on asset disposals and other miscellaneous operating
expenses.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes



The provision or benefit for income taxes includes U.S. federal, state and local
income taxes and all non-U.S. income taxes. We are subject to income tax in
approximately 47 jurisdictions outside of the United States. Because we conduct
operations on a global basis, our effective tax rate depends, and will continue
to depend, on the geographic distribution of our pre-tax earnings among several
different taxing jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate can also vary based on
changes in the tax rates of the different jurisdictions, the availability of tax
credits and non-deductible items.

Items Affecting our Reported Results

General Economic Conditions and Capital Spending in the Industries We Serve



Our financial results closely follow changes in the industries and end-markets
we serve. Demand for most of our products depends on the level of new capital
investment and planned and unplanned maintenance expenditures by our customers.
The level of capital expenditures depends, in turn, on the general economic
conditions as well as access to capital at reasonable cost. In particular,
demand for our Industrial Technologies and Services products generally
correlates with the rate of total industrial capacity utilization and the rate
of change of industrial production. Capacity utilization rates above 80% have
historically indicated a strong demand environment for industrial equipment. In
the midstream and downstream portions of our Industrial Technologies and
Services segment, overall economic growth and industrial production, as well as
secular trends, impact demand for our products. In our Precision and Science
Technologies segment, we expect demand for our products to be driven by
favorable trends, including the growth in healthcare spend and expansion of
healthcare systems due to an aging population requiring medical care and
increased investment in health solutions and safety infrastructures in emerging
economies. Over longer time periods, we believe that demand for all of our
products also tends to follow economic growth patterns indicated by the rates of
change in the GDP around the world, as augmented by secular trends in each
segment. Our ability to grow and our financial performance will also be affected
by our ability to address a variety of challenges and opportunities that are a
consequence of our global operations, including efficiently utilizing our global
sales, manufacturing and distribution capabilities and engineering innovative
new product applications for end-users in a variety of geographic markets.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations



A significant portion of our revenues, approximately 59% for the year ended
December 31, 2021, was denominated in currencies other than the U.S.
dollar. Because much of our manufacturing facilities and labor force costs are
outside of the United States, a significant portion of our costs are also
denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Changes in foreign
exchange rates can therefore impact our results of operations and are quantified
when significant to our discussion.

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations



As a result of a number of factors, our historical results of operations are not
comparable from period to period and may not be comparable to our financial
results of operations in future periods. Key factors affecting the comparability
of our results of operations are summarized below.

Acquisition of Ingersoll Rand Industrial



On February 29, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Ingersoll Rand Industrial.
Ingersoll Rand Industrial is included in our results of operations beginning on
the acquisition date (close of business February 29, 2020). Comparability

Table of Contents



ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 will be affected by the inclusion of twelve
months of activity from Ingersoll Rand Industrial in 2021 compared to only ten
months of activity in 2020.

See Note 4 "Business Combinations" to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further discussion of the acquisition of Ingersoll Rand Industrial.

Other acquisitions



Part of our strategy for growth is to acquire complementary flow control and
compression equipment businesses, which provide access to new technologies or
geographies or improve our aftermarket offerings. In addition to the Ingersoll
Rand Industrial transaction discussed above, we have acquired several other
businesses during the three year period ended December 31, 2021. While these
acquisitions are not individually significant or significant in the aggregate,
they may be relevant when comparing our results from period to period.

See Note 4 "Business Combinations" to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further discussion of these acquisitions.

Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19)



We continue to assess and actively manage the impact of the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic on our global operations and also the operations of our suppliers and
customers. Demand for our products was negatively impacted throughout the
majority of 2020 as a result of the pandemic. Demand began to improve in the
fourth quarter of 2020 and accelerated in the first half of 2021 as markets
strengthened and gained greater visibility to vaccine roll-out strategies in
various regions. Order rates in the first half of 2021 were particularly strong
and we believe represent some deferred demand from 2020. In order to position
ourselves to fulfill demand we continue to monitor the supply chain closely and
are taking proactive steps to ensure continuity of supply. We are adhering to
all state and country mandates and guidelines wherever we operate. Currently all
our major manufacturing locations are operational. We have taken certain actions
to reduce costs and preserve cash given the uncertain environment. The degree to
which the pandemic will continue to impact our operations, and the operations of
our customers and suppliers remains uncertain. See "The COVID-19 pandemic could
have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition in the future" in Part II Item 1A. "Risk Factors" included
elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Restructuring and Other Business Transformation Initiatives



We continue to implement business transformation initiatives. A key element of
those business transformation initiatives was restructuring programs within our
Industrial Technologies and Services and Precision and Science Technologies
segments, as well as at the Corporate level. Restructuring charges, program
related facility reorganization, relocation and other costs, and related capital
expenditures were impacted most significantly.

Subsequent to the acquisition of Ingersoll Rand Industrial, we announced a
restructuring program ("2020 Plan") to drive efficiencies and synergies, reduce
the number of facilities and optimize operating margin within the merged
Company. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, $13.4 million and $83.0
million, respectively, were charged to expense related to this restructuring
program. Through December 31, 2021, we recognized expense related to the 2020
Plan of $78.7 million, $6.9 million and $10.8 million for Industrial
Technologies and Services, Precision and Science Technologies and Corporate,
respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense



For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred stock-based
compensation expense of approximately $87.2 million and $47.5 million,
respectively. The increase from 2020 was primarily due to the $150 million
equity grant to nearly 16,000 employees worldwide announced in the third quarter
of 2020. See Note 18 "  Stock-Based Compensation  " to our audited consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further discussion
around our stock-based compensation expense.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business



We manage operations through the two business segments described above. In
addition to our consolidated GAAP financial measures, we review various non-GAAP
financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash
Flow.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are helpful supplemental measures to assist us and investors in evaluating our operating results as they exclude certain items whose fluctuation from period to period do not necessarily


                                       26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



correspond to changes in the operations of our business. Adjusted EBITDA
represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization
and certain non-cash, non-recurring and other adjustment items. We believe that
the adjustments applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide
additional information to investors about certain material non-cash items and
about non-recurring items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in
the future. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) including
interest, depreciation and amortization of non-acquisition related intangible
assets and excluding other items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA and further
adjusted for the tax effect of these exclusions.

We use Free Cash Flow to review the liquidity of our operations. We measure Free
Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. We
believe Free Cash Flow is a useful supplemental financial measure for us and
investors in assessing our ability to pursue business opportunities and
investments and to service our debt. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of our
liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash
flows from operating activities.

Management and our board of directors regularly use these measures as tools in
evaluating our operating and financial performance and in establishing
discretionary annual compensation. Such measures are provided in addition to,
and should not be considered to be a substitute for, or superior to, the
comparable measures under GAAP. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow are frequently used by investors and
other interested parties in the evaluation of issuers, many of which also
present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow when reporting
their results in an effort to facilitate an understanding of their operating and
financial results and liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow should not be considered
as alternatives to net income (loss) or any other performance measure derived in
accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities
as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free
Cash Flow have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider such
measures either in isolation or as substitutes for analyzing our results as
reported under GAAP.

Included in our discussion of our consolidated and segment results below are
changes in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA on a Constant Currency basis. Constant
Currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had
remained constant period over period. We define Constant Currency revenues and
Adjusted EBITDA as total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of
foreign exchange rate movements and use it to determine the Constant Currency
revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth on a year-over-year basis. Constant Currency
revenues and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated by translating current period
revenues and Adjusted EBITDA using corresponding prior period exchange rates.
These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for,
results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a Constant Currency basis,
as we present them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by
other companies and are not a measure of performance presented in accordance
with GAAP.

For further information regarding these measures, see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Results of Continuing Operations



Consolidated results should be read in conjunction with segment results and the
Segment Information notes to our audited consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, which provide more detailed discussions
concerning certain components of our consolidated statements of operations. All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated within the
consolidated results.

This section discusses our results of continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 2021 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. For a
discussion and analysis of the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to the
same in 2019, please refer to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in   Item 7 of     our

Revenues



Revenues for 2021 were $5,152.4 million, an increase of $1,179.2 million, or
29.7%, compared to $3,973.2 million in 2020. The increase in revenues was
primarily due to acquisitions, including Ingersoll Rand Industrial, of $537.5
million and organic volume growth in our Industrial Technologies and Services
segment of $330.3 million. The increase due to acquisitions is impacted by the
inclusion of twelve months of activity from Ingersoll Rand Industrial in 2021
compared to only ten months of activity in 2020. Organic volume growth in 2021
partially reflects the adverse impact of COVID-19 in 2020. The percentage of
consolidated revenues derived from aftermarket parts and services was 36.2% in
2021 compared to 35.5% in 2020.
                                       28

Gross Profit



Gross profit in 2021 was $1,988.5 million, an increase of $583.6 million, or
41.5%, compared to $1,404.9 million in 2020, and as a percentage of revenues was
38.6% in 2021 and 35.4% in 2020. The increase in gross profit is primarily due
to acquisitions, including Ingersoll Rand Industrial, higher volumes in our
Industrial Technologies and Services segment, and the runoff of the fair
valuation adjustments related to the acquisition of Ingersoll Rand Industrial
impacting cost of sales in 2020 that did not recur in 2021. The increase due to
acquisitions is impacted by the inclusion of twelve months of activity from
Ingersoll Rand Industrial in 2021 compared to only ten months of activity in
2020. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenues is primarily due
to the runoff of the fair valuation adjustments related to the acquisition of
Ingersoll Rand Industrial impacting cost of sales in 2020 that did not recur in
2021.

Selling and Administrative Expenses



Selling and administrative expenses were $1,028.0 million in 2021, an increase
of $238.7 million, or 30.2%, compared to $789.3 million in 2020. Selling and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 20.0% in 2021
from 19.9% in 2020. This increase in selling and administrative expenses was
primarily due to acquisitions, including Ingersoll Rand Industrial, and
increased incentive compensation.

Amortization of Intangible Assets



Amortization of intangible assets was $332.9 million in 2021, a decrease of $2.2
million compared to $335.1 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to
certain intangible assets, primarily backlog, related to the acquisition of
Ingersoll Rand Industrial becoming fully amortized, partially offset by the
inclusion of twelve months of activity from Ingersoll Rand Industrial in 2021
compared to only ten months of activity in 2020 as well as intangible assets
acquired in 2021.

Impairment of Intangible Assets



Impairment of intangible assets was $19.9 million in 2020 due to the impairment
of two tradenames in the Industrial Technologies and Services segment. There
were no impairments recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021. See Note
9 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" to our consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further details.

Other Operating Expense, Net



Other operating expense, net was $61.9 million in 2021, a decrease of $139.1
million compared to $201.0 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to
lower restructuring charges of $69.6 million, lower acquisition related expenses
of $38.0 million, and higher foreign currency transaction gains, net of $30.6
million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $87.7 million in 2021, a decrease of $23.4 million, compared to $111.1 million in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the weighted-average interest rate as well as the payoff of the Dollar Term Loan Series A in the third quarter of 2021. The weighted-average interest rate was approximately 2.0% in 2021 and 3.5% in 2020.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt



Loss on extinguishment of debt was $9.0 million in 2021, which was related to
the payoff of the Dollar Term Loan Series A. Loss on extinguishment of debt was
$2.0 million in 2020, which was related to the refinancing of the Original
Dollar Term Loan and the Original Euro Term Loan. See Note 11 "Debt" to our
audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K
for further details.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net, was $44.0 million in 2021, an increase of $35.9 million compared to $8.1 million in 2020. The increase in other income, net was primarily due to recognition of a $30.0 million gain upon settling post-acquisition contingencies related to the Ingersoll Rand Industrial transaction outside of the measurement period in the second quarter of 2021.

Provision for Income Taxes



The benefit for income taxes was $21.8 million resulting in a (4.2)% effective
tax rate in 2021 compared to a provision for income taxes of $11.4 million
resulting in a (25.1)% effective tax provision rate in 2020. The decrease in the
tax provision and the change in the effective tax rate is primarily due to an
increase in the pre-tax book income in jurisdictions with lower effective
                                       29

tax rates combined with lower earnings in jurisdictions with higher tax rates.
The rate increase was mitigated by the release of unrecognized tax reserves as a
result of the lapse of the limitation on statutes, a benefit associated with the
final settlement on the merger transaction, a one-time restructuring benefit,
and foreign tax credit utilization.

Net Income (Loss)



Net income was $565.0 million in 2021 compared to net loss of $(32.4) million in
2020. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher gross profit on
increased revenues and lower other operating expenses, net, partially offset by
higher selling and administrative expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA



Adjusted EBITDA increased $313.8 million to $1,191.9 million in 2021 compared to
$878.1 million in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues increased
100 basis points to 23.1% in 2021 from 22.1% in 2020. The increase in Adjusted
EBITDA was primarily due to higher organic sales volume of $157.6 million,
improved pricing of $139.0 million and acquisitions, including Ingersoll Rand
Industrial, of $127.5 million, partially offset by increased selling and
administrative expenses. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of
revenues is primarily attributable to organic growth in our Industrial
Technologies and Services segment.

Adjusted Net Income



Adjusted Net Income increased $361.4 million to $881.4 million in 2021 compared
to $520.0 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher Adjusted
EBITDA, lower income tax provision, as adjusted and lower interest expense.

Segment Results

We classify our business into two segments: Industrial Technologies and Services
and Precision and Science Technologies. Our Corporate operations (as described
below) are not discussed separately as any results that had a significant impact
on operating results are included in the consolidated results discussion above.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based on Segment Revenues and
Segment Adjusted EBITDA. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is indicative of operational
performance and ongoing profitability. Our management closely monitors Segment
Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate past performance and identify actions required to
improve profitability.

The segment measurements provided to, and evaluated by, the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") are described in Note 23 "Segment Information" to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K.



Included in our discussion of our segment results below are changes in Segment
Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA on a Constant Currency basis. Constant
Currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had
remained constant period over period. We define Constant Currency as changes in
Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of foreign
exchange rate movements. We use these measures to determine the Constant
Currency Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA growth on a year-on-year
basis. Constant Currency Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA are
calculated by translating current period Segment Revenues and Segment Adjusted
EBITDA using prior period exchange rates. These results should be considered in
addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP.
Results on a constant currency basis, as we present them, may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not a measure of
performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Revenues



Revenues for 2021 were $430.9 million, a decrease of $310.5 million, or 41.9%,
compared to $741.4 million in 2020. The decrease in revenues from discontinued
operations was primarily due to the sale of SVT being substantially completed on
June 1, 2021. Refer to Note 3 "Discontinued Operations" to our consolidated
financial statements for additional discussion.

Gross Profit



Gross profit for 2021 was $109.6 million, a decrease of $67.2 million, or 38.0%,
compared to $176.8 million for 2020, and as a percentage of revenues was 25.4%
for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 23.8% in 2020. The decrease in gross
profit is primarily due to the sale being substantially completed on June 1,
2021.

Gain on Sale

Gain on sale for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $298.3 million was due to the purchase price exceeding the carrying value of the SVT business.

Other Operating Expense (Income), Net



Other operating expense, net was $18.1 million for the year ended December 31,
2021, an increase of $16.4 million, compared to $1.7 million in 2020. The
increase was primarily due to higher separation related expenses and non-cash
charges of $17.2 million, partially offset by lower restructuring charges of
$0.8 million.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes



The provision for income taxes for income taxes was $87.1 million, resulting in
a 25.3% effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared
to a provision for income taxes of $12.9 million resulting in a 17.2% effective
income tax rate in the same period in 2020. The increase in the tax provision in
2021 is primarily due to one-time discrete items associated with the sale of the
SVT business.

Revenues

Revenues for 2021 were $71.9 million, a decrease of $123.7 million, or 63.2%,
compared to $195.6 million in 2020. The decrease in revenues from discontinued
operations was primarily due to the sale of HPS being substantially completed on
April 1, 2021. Refer to Note 3 "Discontinued Operations" to our consolidated
financial statements for additional discussion.

Gross Profit



Gross profit for 2021 was $11.7 million, a decrease of $20.0 million, or 63.1%,
compared to $31.7 million in 2020, and as a percentage of revenues was 16.3% for
the year ended December 31, 2021 and 16.2% in 2020. The decrease in gross profit
is primarily due to the sale being substantially completed on April 1, 2021.

Loss on Sale

Loss on sale for 2021 of $207.7 million was a charge taken to reduce the carrying value of the HPS business to the estimated fair value of the net proceeds and residual equity interest from the transaction.

Other Operating Expense, Net



Other operating expense, net were $19.0 million for 2021, an increase of $4.5
million, compared to $14.5 million in 2020. The increase was primarily due to
expenses incurred in connection with the separation of $14.4 million, partially
offset by lower restructuring charges of $8.5 million.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes



The benefit for income taxes was $7.7 million, resulting in a 3.5% effective
income tax rate for year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a benefit for
income taxes of $11.3 million resulting in a 23.1% effective income tax rate in
2020. The decrease in the tax benefit in 2021 is primarily due to one-time
discrete items associated with the sale of the HPS business.

As of December 31, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings, $6.6 million of outstanding letters of credit under the New Revolving Credit Facility and unused availability of $1,093.4 million.

As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants and no event of default had occurred or was ongoing.

Liquidity



A substantial portion of our liquidity needs arise from debt service
requirements, and from the ongoing cost of operations, working capital and
capital expenditures.
                                                                           Year Ended December 31,
                                                                           2021                   2020

Short-term borrowings and current maturities of long-term debt     $        38.8              $    40.4
Long-term debt                                                           3,401.8                3,859.1
Total debt                                                         $     3,440.6              $ 3,899.5


We can increase the borrowing availability under the Senior Secured Credit
Facilities by up to $1,600.0 million in the form of additional commitments under
the Revolving Credit Facility and/or incremental term loans plus an additional
amount so long as we do not exceed a specified senior secured leverage ratio. We
can incur additional secured indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit
Facilities if certain specified conditions are met under the credit agreement
governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Our liquidity requirements are
significant primarily due to debt service requirements. See Note 11 "Debt" to
our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form
10-K for further details.

Our principal sources of liquidity have been existing cash and cash equivalents,
cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit
Facilities. Our principal uses of cash will be to provide working capital, meet
debt service requirements, fund capital expenditures and finance strategic
plans, including possible acquisitions. We may also seek to finance capital
expenditures under capital leases or other debt arrangements that provide
liquidity or favorable borrowing terms. We continue to consider acquisition
opportunities, but the size and timing of any future acquisitions and the
related potential capital requirements cannot be predicted. In the event that
suitable businesses are available for acquisition upon acceptable terms, we may
obtain all or a portion of the necessary financing through the incurrence of
additional long-term borrowings. We may from time to time, seek to repay loans
that we have borrowed, including the borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit
Facilities. Based on our current level of operations and available cash, we
believe our cash flow from operations, together with availability under the
Revolving Credit Facility, will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current
obligations, projected working capital requirements, debt service requirements
and capital spending requirements for the foreseeable future. Our ability to do
so depends on, among other factors, prevailing economic conditions, many of
which are beyond our control. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain
events, such as a change in control, we could be required to repay or refinance
our indebtedness. We may not be able to refinance any of our indebtedness,
including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, on commercially reasonable terms
or at all. Any future acquisitions, joint ventures, or other similar
transactions may require additional capital and there can be no assurance that
any such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

We may from time to time repurchase shares of our common stock in the open
market at prevailing market prices (including through a Rule 10b5-1 plan), in
privately negotiated transactions, a combination thereof or through other
transactions. The actual timing, number, manner and value of any shares
repurchased will depend on several factors, including the market price of our
stock, general market and economic conditions, our liquidity requirements,
applicable legal requirements and other business considerations.

A substantial portion of our cash is in jurisdictions outside the United States.
We do not assert ASC 740-30 (formerly APB 23) indefinite reinvestment of our
historical non-U.S. earnings or future non-U.S. earnings. The Company records a
deferred foreign tax liability to cover all estimated withholding, state income
tax and foreign income tax associated with repatriating all non-U.S. earnings
back to the United States. Our deferred income tax liability as of December 31,
2021 is $49.6 million which consists mainly of withholding taxes.

Net working capital increased $283.7 million to $2,647.2 million as of
December 31, 2021 from $2,363.5 million as of December 31, 2020. Operating
working capital increased $46.3 million to $975.4 million as of December 31,
2021 from $929.1 million as of December 31, 2020. Operating working capital as
of December 31, 2021 was 18.9% of 2021 revenues as compared to 23.4% as of
December 31, 2020 as a percentage of 2020 revenues. The increase in operating
working capital was primarily due to higher inventories and higher accounts
receivable, partially offset by higher accounts payable and higher contract
liabilities. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the
increase in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter
of 2020 and to acquisitions completed in 2021. The increase in inventory was
primarily attributable to additions to inventory in anticipation of increased
demand for certain products and to acquisitions completed in 2021. The increase
in accounts payable was primarily due to the timing of vendor cash
disbursements. The increase in contract liabilities was due to the timing of
customer milestone payments for in-process engineered to order contracts.

Cash Flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.


                                                                2021

(1)See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.



Operating activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $25.7 million to $627.8 million in 2021 from $653.5 million in 2020, primarily due to changes in accrued liabilities and cash used in operating working capital partially offset by higher income from continuing operations.



Operating working capital used cash of $3.0 million in 2021 compared to
generating cash of $171.3 million in 2020. Changes in account receivables used
cash of $62.5 million in 2021 compared to generating cash of $52.4 million in
2020. Changes in contract assets used cash of $0.4 million in 2021 compared to
using cash of $11.7 million in 2020. Changes in inventory used cash of $134.4
million in 2021 compared to generating cash of $159.0 million in 2020. Changes
in accounts payable generated cash of $118.2 million in 2021 compared to using
cash of $43.4 million in 2020. Changes in contract liabilities generated cash of
$76.1 million in 2021 compared to generating cash of $15.0 million in 2020.

Investing activities



Cash flows used in investing activities included capital expenditures of $64.1
million (1.2% of consolidated revenues) and $42.0 million (1.1% of consolidated
revenues) in 2021 and 2020, respectively. We expect capital expenditures will be
approximately
                                       39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



2% of consolidated revenues in 2022. Cash acquired (paid) in business
combinations was $(974.8) million in 2021 and $9.0 million in 2020. Net proceeds
from the disposal of property, plant and equipment were $9.5 million and $1.7
million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Financing activities



Cash used in financing activities of $1,157.0 million in 2021 is primarily due
to purchases of treasury stock of $736.8 million, repayments of long-term debt
of $435.7 million, and cash dividends on common stock of $8.2 million, offset by
proceeds from stock option exercises of $23.7 million.

Cash provided by financing activities of $328.7 million in 2020 is primarily due
to proceeds from long-term debt of $1,980.1 million, offset by repayments of
long-term debt of $1,619.1 million and payments of debt issuance costs of $47.8
million. Also included are proceeds from stock option exercises of $22.7 million
and a net usage of cash of $3.0 million related to the purchase and sale of
noncontrolling interests of our India subsidiary. See Note 13 "Stockholders'
Equity and Noncontrolling Interests" to our audited consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further details.

Discontinued Operations



Cash provided by discontinued operations increased $1,677.2 million to $1,931.4
million in 2021 from $254.2 million in 2020, primarily due to proceeds from sale
of discontinued operations.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow decreased $47.8 million to $563.7 million in 2021 from $611.5 million in 2020 primarily due to the decrease in cash provided by operating activities discussed above.

Purchase Obligations



Purchase obligations consist primarily of agreements to purchase inventory or
services made in the normal course of business to meet operational requirements.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had purchase of obligations of $441.2
million, with $371.5 million payable in the next 12 months. The purchase
obligation amounts do not represent the entire anticipated purchases in the
future, but represent only those items for which we are contractually obligated
as of December 31, 2021. For this reason, these amounts will not provide a
complete and reliable indicator of our expected future cash outflows.

Contingencies



We are a party to various legal proceedings, lawsuits and administrative
actions, which are of an ordinary or routine nature for a company of our size
and in our sector. We believe that such proceedings, lawsuits and administrative
actions will not materially adversely affect our operations, financial
condition, liquidity or competitive position. We have accrued liabilities and
other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet, including a total
litigation reserve of $136.9 million as of December 31, 2021 with respect to
potential liability arising from our asbestos-related litigation. Other than our
asbestos-related litigation reserves, we only have de minimis accrued
liabilities and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet with respect
to other legal proceedings, lawsuits and administrative actions. A more detailed
discussion of certain of these proceedings, lawsuits and administrative actions
is set forth in "Item 3. Legal Proceedings."

Critical Accounting Policies



Accounting policies discussed in this section are those that we consider to be
the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they
involve significant judgments and uncertainties. Certain of these policies
include estimates and assumptions. These estimates reflect our best judgment
about current, and for some estimates, future economic and market conditions and
their effect based on information available as of the date of these financial
statements. If these conditions change from those expected, it is reasonably
possible that the judgments and estimates described below could change, which
may result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets,
increases in reserves for contingencies, establishment of valuation allowances
on deferred tax assets and increase in tax liabilities, among other effects.
Also see Note 1 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to our audited
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, which
discusses the significant accounting policies that we have selected from
acceptable alternatives.

Business Combinations



We apply the acquisition method of accounting with respect to the identifiable
assets and liabilities of a business combination and record the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition
date. The excess of the
                                       40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



cost of the acquired business and the fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Estimates of fair value represent
management's best estimate of assumptions and about future events and
uncertainties, including significant judgments related to future cash flows,
discount rates, competitive trends, margin and revenue growth assumptions
including royalty rates and customer attrition rates, market comparables and
others. Inputs used are generally obtained from historical data supplemented by
current and anticipated market conditions and growth rates.

Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of identifiable
intangible assets and in assigning their respective useful lives. The fair value
estimates are based on historical information and on future expectations and
assumptions deemed reasonable by management, but which are inherently uncertain.
See Note 3 "Business Combinations" to our consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for further information regarding the fair
value determination of each of the classes of identifiable intangible assets.
Determining the useful life of an intangible asset also requires judgment.
Certain intangibles are expected to have indefinite lives while certain other
identifiable intangible assets have determinable lives. The useful lives of
identifiable intangibles with determinable useful lives are based on a variety
of factors, including but not limited to, the competitive environment, product
cycles, order life cycles, historical customer attrition rates, market share,
operating plans and the macroeconomic environment. The costs of
determinable-lived intangible assets are amortized to expense over the estimated
useful life.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Identified Intangible Assets



We test goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year
using data as of October 1 of that year and whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Upon
adoption of ASU 2019-04, the impairment test consists of comparing the fair
value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the reporting unit. An
impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount
exceeds the reporting unit's fair value; provided, the loss recognized cannot
exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. If
applicable, we consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on
the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment
loss. We determined fair values for all of the reporting units using a
combination of the income and market multiples approaches which are weighted 75%
and 25%, respectively.

Under the income approach, fair value is determined based on the present value
of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate.
We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and include an
estimate of long-term future growth rates based on our most recent views of the
long-term outlook for each business. Actual results may differ from those
assumed in our forecasts. We derive our discount rates using a capital asset
pricing model and analyzing published rates for industries relevant to our
reporting units to estimate the cost of equity financing. We use discount rates
that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective
businesses and in our internally developed forecasts. Discount rates used in our
2021 reporting unit valuations ranged from 8.5% to 9.5%. Additionally, we
assumed 3.0% terminal growth rates for all reporting units, except a single
reporting unit in which we determined it most appropriate to assume an 2.0%
terminal growth rate due to it being closely aligned to the GDP percentage
growth rate.

Under the market multiples approach, fair value is determined based on multiples
derived from the stock prices of publicly traded guideline companies to develop
a business enterprise value ("BEV") for our reporting units. The application of
the market multiples method entails the development of book value multiples
based on the market value of the guideline companies. The multiples are
developed by first calculating the market value of equity of the guideline
companies and then adjusting these multiples for cash and debt to arrive at a
BEV multiple. Identifying appropriate guideline companies and computing
appropriate market multiples is subjective. We considered various public
companies that had reasonably similar qualitative factors as our reporting units
while also considering quantitative factors such as revenue growth,
profitability and total assets.

With the exception of one reporting unit formed through a recent acquisition,
the estimated fair values of our reporting units were well in excess of their
carrying values. The carrying value of the recently-formed reporting unit was
approximately equal to its fair value due to the close proximity of the
acquisition date to the impairment testing date. The estimated fair values of
all other reporting units were at least 47% higher than their carrying values
and therefore, no impairments were identified.

We test intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually
utilizing a discounted cash flow valuation referred to as the relief from
royalty method. We estimated forecasted revenues for a period of five years with
discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 10.0%, terminal growth rates of 2.0 % to
3.0%, and royalty rates ranging from 0.5% to 4.0%. As a result of this test,
there were no impairments recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021.

We review identified intangible assets with defined useful lives and subject to
amortization for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an
impairment loss occurred requires comparing the carrying amount to the sum of
undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

Income Taxes



Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates and tax planning
opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.
Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer
and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required
in determining our tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions, including
evaluating uncertainties. We review our tax positions quarterly and adjust the
balances as new information becomes available.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted on December 22, 2017, created a new
requirement that certain income (i.e., Global intangible low taxed income
("GILTI")) earned by controlled foreign corporations ("CFC") must be included
currently in the gross income of the CFCs' U.S. shareholder. GILTI is the excess
of the shareholder's "net CFC tested income" over the net deemed tangible income
return, which is currently defined as the excess of (1) 10% of the aggregate of
the U.S. shareholder's pro rata share of the qualified business asset investment
of each CFC with respect to which it is a U.S. shareholder over (2) the amount
of certain interest expense taken into account in the determination of net
CFC-tested income.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is allowed to make an accounting policy choice of
either (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income
related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the "period cost
method") or (2) factoring such amounts into a company's measurement of its
deferred taxes (the "deferred method"). The Company has determined that it will
follow the period cost method (option 1 above) going forward. The tax provision
for the year ended December 31, 2021 reflects this decision. All of the
additional calculations and rule changes found in the Tax Act have been
considered in the tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2021. The
Company recorded a tax expense of $11.7 million in 2021 for the GILTI provisions
of the Tax Act.

Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes
payable on taxable income in future years. Such assets arise because of
temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets
and liabilities, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions and
credits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all
sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted
operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These sources of
income rely heavily on estimates. To the extent we do not consider it more
likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation
allowance is established. Amounts recorded for deferred tax assets related to
tax attribute carryforwards, net of valuation allowances, were $38.0 million and
$40.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, with the decrease
related to utilizing the attributes.

Loss Contingencies



Loss contingencies are uncertain and unresolved matters that arise in the
ordinary course of business and result from events or actions by others that
have the potential to result in a future loss. Such contingencies include, but
are not limited to, asbestos and silica related litigation, environmental
obligations, litigation, regulatory proceedings, product quality and losses
resulting from other events and developments.

When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, we record a
liability in the amount of our best estimate for the ultimate loss. When there
appears to be a range of possible costs with equal likelihood, liabilities are
based on the low-end of such range. However, the likelihood of a loss with
respect to a particular contingency is often difficult to predict and
determining a meaningful estimate of the loss or a range of loss may not be
practicable based on the information available and the potential effect of
future events and decisions by third parties that will determine the ultimate
resolution of the contingency. In particular, as it relates to estimating
asbestos and silica contingencies, there are a number of key variables and
assumptions including the number and type of new claims to be filed each year,
the resolution or outcome of these claims, the average cost of resolution of
each new claim, the amount of insurance available, allocation methodologies, the
contractual terms with each insurer with whom we have reached settlements, the
resolution of coverage issues with other excess insurance carriers with whom we
have not yet achieved settlements and the solvency risk with respect to our
insurance carriers. Moreover, it is not uncommon for such matters to be resolved
over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information
must be continuously evaluated to determine both the likelihood of potential
loss and whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
When a loss is probable but a reasonable estimate cannot be made, disclosure is
provided.

Disclosure also is provided when it is reasonably possible that a loss will be
incurred or when it is reasonably possible that the amount of a loss will exceed
the recorded provision. We regularly review all contingencies to determine
whether the likelihood of loss has changed and to assess whether a reasonable
estimate of the loss or range of loss can be made. As discussed above,
development of a meaningful estimate of loss or a range of potential loss is
complex when the outcome is directly dependent on
                                       42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



negotiations with or decisions by third parties, such as regulatory agencies,
the court system and other interested parties. Such factors bear directly on
whether it is possible to reasonably estimate a range of potential loss and
boundaries of high and low.
