Overview
Our Company
We are a leading global provider of mission-critical flow creation technologies
and associated aftermarket parts, consumables and services, which we sell across
multiple attractive end-markets. 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, Club Car.
CompAir, Nash, Elmo Rietschle, Robuschi, Thomas, Milton Roy, ARO, Emco Wheaton
and Runtech Systems, which we believe are globally recognized in their
respective end-markets and known for product quality, reliability, efficiency
and superior customer service.
Our Segments
Subsequent to the acquisition of Ingersoll Rand Industrial, we reorganized our
reportable segments. As a result, we no longer report under the three reportable
segments of Industrial, Energy and Medical. Instead, we report utilizing the
four reportable segments of Industrial Technologies and Services, Precision and
Science Technologies, High Pressure Solutions and Specialty Vehicle
Technologies. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker regularly reviews financial
information to allocate resources and assess performance utilizing these
reorganized segments. See Note 5 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" for the
allocation of goodwill to the new reportable segments. See Note 16 "Segment
Results" for a description of the new reportable segments.
Industrial Technologies and Services
We design, manufacture, market and service a broad range of air and gas
compression, vacuum and blower products, fluid transfer equipment, loading
systems, power tools and lifting equipment, including associated aftermarket
parts, consumables and services. We primarily sell under the Ingersoll Rand,
Gardner Denver, CompAir, Elmo Rietschle, Robuschi, Nash and Emco Wheaton
brands. Our customers deploy our products across a wide array of technologies
and applications for use in diverse end-markets. Compressors are used to
increase the pressure of air or gas, vacuum products are used to remove air or
gas in order to reduce the pressure below atmospheric levels, and blower
products are used to produce a high volume of air or gas at low pressure. Almost
every manufacturing and industrial facility, and many service and process
industry applications, use air compression, vacuum and blower products in a
variety of process-critical applications such as the operation of pneumatic
tools, pumps and motion control components, air and gas separation, vacuum
packaging of food products and aeration of waste water, among others. Our liquid
ring vacuum pumps and compressors are used in many power generation, mining, oil
and gas refining and processing, chemical processing and general industrial
applications including flare gas and vapor recovery, geothermal gas removal,
vacuum de-aeration, water extraction in mining and paper and chlorine
compression in petrochemical operations. Our engineered loading systems and
fluid transfer equipment ensure the safe handling and transfer of crude oil,
liquefied natural gas, compressed natural gas, chemicals, and bulk materials.
Our power tools and lifting equipment portfolio includes electric and cordless
fastening systems, pneumatic bolting tools, drilling and material removal tools,
hoists, winches and ergonomic handling devices. Typical applications for these
products include the precision fastening of bolted joints in the production,
assembly and servicing of industrial machinery, on-highway and off-highway
vehicles, aircraft, electronics and other equipment.
Our compression products cover the full range of technologies, including rotary
screw, reciprocating piston, scroll, rotary vane and centrifugal compressors.
Our vacuum products and blowers also cover the full technology spectrum; vacuum
technologies include side channel, liquid ring, claw vacuum, screw, turbo and
rotary vane vacuum pumps among others, while blower technologies include rotary
lobe blowers, screw, claw and vane, side channel and radial blowers. Our liquid
ring vacuum pumps
                                       45

  Table of Content
and compressors are highly engineered products specifically designed for
continuous duty in harsh environments to serve a wide range of applications,
including oil and gas refining and processing, mining, chemical processing and
industrial applications. In addition to our vacuum and blower technology, our
engineered fluid loading and transfer equipment and systems ensure the safe and
efficient transportation and transfer of petroleum products as well as certain
other liquid commodity products in a wide range of industries.
We complement these products with a broad portfolio of service options tailored
to customer needs and a complete range of aftermarket parts, air treatment
equipment, controls and other accessories delivered through our global network
of manufacturing and service locations and distributor partners. The breadth and
depth of our product offering creates incremental business opportunities by
allowing us to cross-sell our full product portfolio and uniquely address
customers' needs in one complete solution.
We sell our products through an integrated network of direct sales
representatives and independent distributors, which is strategically tailored to
meet the dynamics of each target geography or end-market. Our large installed
base also provides for a significant stream of recurring aftermarket revenue.
For example, the useful life of a compressor is, on average, between 10 and 12
years. However, a customer typically services the compressor at regular
intervals, starting within the first two years of purchase and continuing
throughout the life of the product. The cumulative aftermarket revenue generated
by a compressor over the product's life cycle will typically exceed its original
sale price.
Precision and Science Technologies
We design, manufacture and market a broad range of highly-specialized positive
displacement pumps, fluid management systems and aftermarket parts that provide
liquid and gas dosing, transfer, dispensing, compression, sampling, pressure
management and flow control in specialized or critical applications. Our product
offering covers a range of pump and flow control technologies, including
mechanically- and hydraulically-actuated diaphragm pumps, air-operated diaphragm
and piston pumps, water-powered pumps, peristaltic pumps, gear pumps, flexible
impeller pumps, self-priming centrifugal pumps, syringe pumps, motion control
components, filtration/regulation/lubrication components, gas boosters, high
pressure valves, hydrogen compression systems, liquid and gas sampling systems,
odorant injection systems and more. These offerings are sold under brands that
are highly recognized in their end markets including ARO, Dosatron, Haskel,
Milton Roy, Oberdorfer, Thomas and Welch. Our customer base is composed of a
wide range of end users in markets including medical, laboratory, industrial
manufacturing, water and waste water, chemical processing, energy, food and
beverage, agriculture and others. Our sales are realized primarily through a
combination of independent specialty and national distributors and relationships
directly with original equipment manufacturers ("OEM").
High Pressure Solutions
We design, manufacture, market and service a diverse range of positive
displacement pumps, integrated systems and associated aftermarket parts,
consumables and services. The highly engineered products offered by our High
Pressure Solutions segment serve customers in the upstream energy market, as
well as petrochemical processing, transportation and general industrial sectors.
We are one of the largest suppliers of equipment and associated aftermarket
parts, consumables and services for the upstream energy applications that we
serve.
Our positive displacement pumps are fit-for-purpose to meet the demands and
challenges of modern unconventional drilling and hydraulic fracturing activity.
Our offering includes mission-critical oil and gas drilling pumps, frac pumps
and well servicing pumps, in addition to sales of associated consumables used in
the operation of our pumps. The products we sell into upstream energy
applications are highly aftermarket-intensive, and so we support these products
in the field with one of the industry's most comprehensive service networks,
which encompasses locations across all major basins and shale plays in the North
American land market. This service network is critical to serving our customers
and, by supporting them in the field, to generating demand for new original
equipment sales and aftermarket parts, consumables, service and repair sales
which in aggregate are often multiples of the value of the original equipment.
The Company's customers provide drilling, completions and well services to oil
and gas operators, particularly in the major basins and plays in the North
American land market. The Company is one of the leading suppliers in these
upstream energy applications and has long-standing customer relationships.

Specialty Vehicle Technologies
We design, manufacture and market golf car and other low speed vehicles for
commercial utility and personal transportation under the Club Car ® brand.
Product offerings include new and used electric, gas and diesel-powered
vehicles, accessories and aftermarket parts. Service offerings include repair
and maintenance, short-term rentals and digital connectivity services that
enable fleet management, entertainment and provide enhanced end-user experience.
Sales of golf car fleets and turf utility vehicles are primarily derived from
golf courses owners and operators around the world. Utility, all-wheel drive,
and multi passenger transport vehicles are used in commercial and maintenance
applications at resorts and hospitality sites, government agencies and
municipalities, manufacturing and construction firms, sports and other areas,
colleges and universities and other commercial establishments. Our consumer
vehicles are generally sold to individuals and families for personal
transportation in residential communities, camp grounds and vacation
locations. All of our low speed vehicles are highly featured, and highly
customized for their application and are available in multiple colors, fabrics,
power trains and accessories. The majority of sales are derived through a global
network of independent distributors and dealers. We also sell our products
directly to certain customers within the golf industry, through company-owned
sales resources.
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 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 materials 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) expenses
related to our public stock offerings and to establish public company reporting
compliance; (vii) employee related stock-based compensation for our selling and
administrative functions and other activities not associated with the
manufacture of products or delivery of services to customers; and (viii) 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.

  Table of Content
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.
Other Operating Expense, Net
Other operating expense, net includes foreign currency transaction gains and
losses, net, restructuring charges, certain shareholder litigation settlement
recoveries, acquisition related expenses and non-cash charges, losses and gains
on asset disposals and other miscellaneous operating expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision 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 High Pressure Solutions
segment, demand for our products that serve upstream energy end-markets are
influenced heavily by energy prices and the expectation as to future trends in
those prices. Energy prices have historically been cyclical in nature and are
affected by a wide range of factors. In addition to energy prices, demand for
our upstream energy products are positively impacted by increasing global land
rig count, drilled but uncompleted wells, the level of hydraulic fracturing
intensity and activity measured by horsepower utilization and lateral lengths as
well as drilling and completion capital expenditures. 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 49% for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2020, 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.
We reorganized our reportable segments as a result of the Ingersoll Rand
Industrial acquisition and formed four new reportable segments.
•Industrial Technologies and Services segment - Ingersoll Rand Industrial's
Compression Technologies and Services ("CTS") and Power Tools and Lift ("PTL")
businesses joined the legacy Gardner Denver Industrial segment (excluding the
Specialty Pump businesses) and the midstream and downstream portions of the
Gardner Denver Energy segment to form the new "Industrial Technologies and
Services" segment.
•Precision and Science Technologies segment - Ingersoll Rand Industrial's
Precision Flow Systems ("PFS") and ARO businesses joined the legacy Gardner
Denver Medical segment and Specialty Pump businesses from the legacy Gardner
Denver Industrial segment to form the new "Precision and Science Technologies"
segment.
•High Pressure Solutions segment - The upstream energy portion of the legacy
Gardner Denver Energy segment was disaggregated to form the new "High Pressure
Solutions" segment.
•Specialty Vehicle Technologies segment - Ingersoll Rand Industrial's Club Car
golf, utility and consumer low-speed vehicles business formed the new "Specialty
Vehicle Technologies" segment.
Ingersoll Rand Industrial is included in our results of operations beginning on
the acquisition date (close of business February 29, 2020). Comparability
between the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 will
be affected by three months and seven months of activity from Ingersoll Rand
Industrial, respectively. Subsequent to the date of acquisition, in the nine
month period ended September 30, 2020, the Ingersoll Rand Industrial acquisition
contributed $1,201.0 million, $277.5 million, and $495.4 million of revenue to
the Industrial Technologies and Services, Precision and Science Technologies and
Specialty Vehicle Technologies segments, respectively.
See Note 2 "Business Combinations" to our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further discussion
of the acquisition of Ingersoll Rand Industrial.
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. Overall demand for our products has decreased as a result of the
pandemic, which impacted our operating results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2020. We are adhering to all state and country
mandates and guidelines wherever we operate. Currently all our major
manufacturing locations in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy,
Brazil and China are operational. In some countries, such as India and South
Africa, our facilities have opened up throughout the three month period ended
September 30, 2020, in accordance with country mandates and guidelines. We are
taking certain actions to reduce costs and preserve cash given the rapidly
changing environment. The length of time the pandemic will impact our
operations, and the operations of our customers and suppliers remains
uncertain. See "The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected our business and
results of operations, and 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" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.
Conditions in oil and gas markets
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2020, oil prices dropped
significantly due to declines in demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and
risks of significant production increases from Saudi Arabia and Russia. We sell
into upstream energy markets, primarily in our High Pressure Solutions segment,
that are influenced heavily by oil and natural gas prices and the expectation of
the future prices of those commodities. As a result of decreases in oil prices,
we experienced a reduction in demand and consequently sales and pricing within
our High Pressure Solutions segment.
We believe it is helpful to consider the impact of our exposure to the upstream
energy market in evaluating our 2019 and 2020 Segment Revenue and Segment
Adjusted EBITDA for our High Pressure Solutions segment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Content
Restructuring and Other Business Transformation Initiatives
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 margins within our merged
Company. We expect total expenses of approximately $350.0 million related to
workforce reductions, lease termination costs, other facility rationalization
costs and other business related transformation costs from 2020 until 2022. We
expect to realize approximately $250.0 million in annualized cost synergies by
the end of 2022. We continue to evaluate operating efficiencies and anticipate
incurring additional costs in the coming years in connection with these
activities, but we are unable to estimate those amounts at this time as such
plans are not yet finalized.
Through September 30, 2020, $84.4 million was charged to expense through "Other
operating expense, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
($66.9 million for Industrial Technologies and Services, $5.6 million for
Precision and Science Technologies, $6.1 million for High Pressure Solutions,
$0.9 million for Specialty Vehicle Technologies and $4.9 million for Corporate).
Outlook
Industrial Technologies and Services Segment
The mission-critical nature of our products across manufacturing processes
drives a demand environment and outlook that are correlated with global and
regional industrial production, capacity utilization and long-term GDP growth.
Due to the uncertainty of current economic conditions associated with COVID-19,
and its impact on end markets, our near-term visibility is limited. In the third
quarter of 2020, we had $902.1 million of orders in our Industrial Technologies
and Services segment, an increase of 124.0% over the third quarter of 2019.
Approximately $533.9 million of these orders relate to the acquisition of
Ingersoll Rand Industrial.
Precision and Science Technologies Segment
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Precision and Science Technologies segment has
seen increased demand for our vacuum pump and compressor solutions used in
respirator and ventilator applications. Demand of other products and services
have been curtailed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and near-term
visibility is limited. In the third quarter of 2020, we had $194.4 million of
orders in our Precision and Science Technologies segment, an increase of 151.2%
over 2019. Approximately $122.1 million of these orders relate to the
acquisition of Ingersoll Rand Industrial.
High Pressure Solutions Segment
The demand and outlook for the majority of our High Pressure Solutions products
and services are influenced heavily by the supply and demand dynamics related to
oil and natural gas products, and have been influenced by oil and natural gas
prices, the level and intensity of hydraulic fracturing activity, global land
rig count, the number of drilled but uncompleted wells and other economic
factors. The COVID-19 pandemic and related economic repercussions have
negatively impacted the global demand for oil and natural gas. While the
ultimate duration of these conditions is unknown, we expect reduced demand for
our products to persist through 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, we had $20.2
million of orders in our High Pressure Solutions segment, a decrease of 80.6%
over the third quarter of 2019.
Specialty Vehicle Technologies Segment
During 2020, the Specialty Vehicle Technologies segment is seeing consistent
demand in golf end markets along with record demand for consumer vehicle and
aftermarket parts offerings. This has helped to offset demand pressure in the
commercial end markets as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the
hospitality and resort industries. In the third quarter of 2020, we had $247.1
million of orders in our Specialty Vehicle Technologies segment and are entering
the fourth quarter with a solid backlog position.
How We Assess the Performance of Our Business
We manage operations through the four 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.
                                       50
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Table of Content
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
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.
See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for reconciliation information.
Results of Operations
Consolidated results should be read in conjunction with the segment results
section herein and Note 16 "Segment Results" to our unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, which
provides more detailed discussions concerning certain components of our
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated within the consolidated results.
