SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT: This news release contains various forward-looking
statements and includes assumptions about Flowserve's future market conditions,
operations and results. These statements are based on current expectations and
are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. They are made pursuant to
safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Among the many factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
the forward-looking statements are: further changes in the already competitive
environment for the Company's products or competitors' responses to Flowserve's
strategies; the Company's ability to integrate Invatec into its management and
operations; political risks or trade embargoes affecting important country
markets; the health of the petroleum, chemical and power industries; economic
turmoil in areas outside the United States; continued economic growth within the
United States; unanticipated difficulties or costs or reduction in benefits
associated with the implementation of the Company's "Flowserver" business
process improvement initiative, including software; the impact of the "Year
2000" computer issue; and the recognition of significant expenses associated
with adjustments to realign the combined Company's facilities and other
capabilities with its strategies and business conditions.
