## Management's discussion and analysis

As filed, 40,118 characters.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains information about Crane Co., some of which includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements about our current condition. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of terms such as “believes,” “contemplates,” “expects,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” or “anticipates,” other similar phrases, or the negatives of these terms.

Reference herein to “Crane,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Crane Co. and its subsidiaries unless the context specifically states or implies otherwise. References to “core business” or “core sales” in this report include sales from acquired businesses starting from and after the first anniversary of the acquisition, but exclude currency effects. Amounts in the following discussion are presented in millions, except employee, share and per share data, or unless otherwise stated.

We have based the forward-looking statements relating to our operations on our current expectations, estimates and projections about us and the markets we serve. We caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. There are a number of other factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those addressed in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: uncertainties regarding the extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on many aspects of our business, as detailed in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; changes in economic, financial and end-market conditions in the markets in which we operate; fluctuations in raw material prices; the financial condition of our customers and suppliers; economic, social and political instability, currency fluctuation and other risks of doing business outside of the United States; competitive pressures, including the need for technology improvement, successful new product development and introduction and any inability to pass increased costs of raw materials to customers; our ability to value and successfully integrate acquisitions and to realize synergies and opportunities for growth and innovation, and to attract and retain highly qualified personnel and key management; a reduction in congressional appropriations that affect defense spending and our ability to predict the timing and award of substantial contracts in our banknote business; adverse effects on our business and results of operations, as a whole, as a result of increases in asbestos claims or the cost of defending and settling such claims; adverse effects as a result of environmental remediation activities, costs, liabilities and related claims; investment performance of our pension plan assets and fluctuations in interest rates, which may affect the amount and timing of future pension plan contributions; and other risks noted in reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which is incorporated by reference herein.

### OUTLOOK

In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, and it

continues to spread throughout the United States and other countries across the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and is likely to continue to result, in significant economic disruption and has and will likely continue to adversely affect our business. Significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. While all our facilities are operating as essential businesses, some of our facilities have reduced operating levels and shifts, and further reductions may occur as the impacts from COVID-19 and related responses continue to develop.

Factors deriving from the COVID-19 response that have or may negatively impact sales and operating profit in the future include, but are not limited to: limitations on the ability of our suppliers to manufacture, or procure from manufacturers, the products we sell, or to meet delivery requirements and commitments; limitations on the ability of our employees to perform their work due to illness caused by the pandemic or local, state, or federal orders requiring employees to remain at home; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver our products to customers; limitations on the ability of our customers to conduct their business and purchase our products and services; and limitations on the ability of our customers to pay us on a timely basis.

Given the dynamic nature of these circumstances, while we expect a significant unfavorable impact, the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ongoing business, results of operations and overall financial performance is very difficult to forecast. For 2020, we expect sales to decline significantly driven by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by benefits from the I&S and Cummins-Allison acquisitions. At this time, we expect sales to be $2.8 billion to $3.0 billion, reflecting a core sales decline of 17% to 22%. While operating profit in 2020 will benefit from the absence of the 2019 asbestos and environmental provisions which totaled $247.9 million, as well as benefits from incremental cost reduction actions of approximately $100 million, it will be substantially offset by the impact from lower sales volumes related to COVID-19.

### Fluid Handling

In 2020, we expect Fluid Handling sales to decline significantly compared to 2019, driven by lower demand and supply chain disruptions related to COVID-19, which will only be partially offset by benefits from the I&S acquisition. These factors will result in lower sales at Process Valves and Related Products, Commercial Valves, and at Pumps and Systems.

For the segment, we expect a corresponding decline in operating profit and operating margin compared to 2019, with the impact from lower sales volumes more than offsetting productivity, cost reduction actions and restructuring and related savings, net.

### Payment & Merchandising Technologies

In 2020, we expect Payment & Merchandising Technologies sales to decline modestly compared to 2019, driven by lower demand for Payment and Vending equipment related to the COVID-19 pandemic, largely offset by benefits from the Cummins-Allison acquisition and sales growth at Crane Currency.

In 2020, we expect both Crane Payment Innovations and Crane Merchandising Systems core sales will decline significantly compared to 2019 due to COVID-19 related factors. At Crane Currency, we expect core sales to increase compared to 2019 driven primarily by growth in sales to international customers.

We expect the segment’s operating profit to decline compared to 2019, driven by lower sales volume and acquisition-related charges, partially offset by productivity, cost reduction actions and restructuring and related savings, net.

### Aerospace & Electronics

In 2020, we expect Aerospace & Electronics sales to decline significantly compared to 2019. We expect declines from our commercial OEM customers in response to COVID-19 related factors, as well as the temporary impact of Boeing halting production of the 737 MAX for a portion of 2020. We also expect a significant decline in our commercial aftermarket business driven by substantially reduced airline flight schedules related to COVID-19. We expect growth in our defense OEM and aftermarket businesses driven by continued government investment in military applications. We expect a corresponding decline in segment operating profit and operating margin compared to 2019 driven by the impact of the lower volumes, partially offset by productivity and cost reduction actions.

### Engineered Materials

In 2020, we expect Engineered Materials sales to decline significantly compared to 2019, driven by lower recreational vehicle industry build rates resulting from COVID-19 related factors; as a result, inclusive of cost reduction actions, segment operating profit and operating margin will decline compared to 2019.

### Results from Operations – Three Month Periods Ended June 30

The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. All comparisons below refer to the second quarter 2020 versus the second quarter 2019, unless otherwise specified.

*(dollars in millions)*

|  | Second Quarter 2020 | 2019 | Change $% |  |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Net sales | $677.9 | $841.6 | $(163.7) | (19.5)% |
| Operating profit | 30.5 | 122.8 | (92.3) | (75.2)% |
| Acquisition-related and integration charges \* | 2.3 | 2.4 | (0.1) | (4.2)% |
| Restructuring and related charges, net \* | 25.1 | 6.4 | 18.7 | 292.2% |
| Operating margin | 4.5% | 14.6% |  |  |
| Other income (expense): |  |  |  |  |
| Interest income | 0.3 | 0.7 | (0.4) | (57.1)% |
| Interest expense | (14.4) | (11.4) | (3.0) | (26.3)% |
| Miscellaneous income, net | 2.5 | 6.4 | (3.9) | (60.9)% |
|  | (11.6) | (4.3) | (7.3) | (169.8)% |
| Income before income taxes | 18.9 | 118.5 | (99.6) | (84.1)% |
| Provision for income taxes | 4.1 | 27.5 | (23.4) | (85.1)% |
| Net income before allocation to noncontrolling interests | 14.8 | 91.0 | (76.2) | (83.7)% |
| Less: Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries’ earnings | — | — | — | —% |
| Net income attributable to common shareholders | $14.8 | $91.0 | $(76.2) | (83.7)% |
| \* Acquisition-related and integration charges and restructuring and related charges are included in operating profit and operating margin. |  |  |  |  |

Sales decreased by $163.7 million, or 19.5%, to $677.9 million in 2020. Net sales related to operations outside the United States were 36.8% and 35.4% of total net sales for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The year-over-year change in sales included:

- a decrease in core sales of $203.2 million, or 24.1%, driven by lower demand related to COVID-19;
- unfavorable foreign currency translation of $7.5 million, or 1.0%; and
- an increase in sales related to a benefit from acquisitions of $47.0 million, or 5.6%.

Operating profit decreased by $92.3 million, or 75.2%, to $30.5 million in 2020. The decrease in operating profit reflected lower operating profit across all segments. Operating profit in the second quarter of 2020 included restructuring and related charges of $25.1 million, primarily relating to workforce reductions initiated in response to COVID-19 and integration actions related to the Cummins-Allison acquisition. We expect recurring annualized pre-tax savings to approximate $80 million from these actions. Please refer to Part I, Note 14, “Restructuring” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. We also recorded acquisition-related and integration charges of $2.3 million related to the Cummins-Allison and I&S acquisitions in the second quarter of 2020. Operating profit in the second quarter of 2019 included restructuring and related charges of $6.4 million and acquisition-related and integration charges of $2.4 million.

Other income (expense) increased $7.3 million, or 169.8%, primarily reflecting higher interest expense and the absence of unrealized gains recognized in 2019 on marketable securities of $3.1 million.

Our effective tax rate is affected by a number of items, both recurring and discrete, including the amount of income we earn in different jurisdictions and their respective statutory tax rates, acquisitions and dispositions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws, regulations and accounting principles, the continued availability of statutory tax credits and deductions, the continued reinvestment of our overseas earnings, and examinations initiated by tax authorities around the world.

Our tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is lower than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to the settlement of income tax audits, partially offset by a lower foreign tax credit utilization.

Our tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is higher than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the U.S. and certain expenses that are statutorily non-deductible for income tax purposes, partially offset by the statutory U.S. deduction related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.

### Comprehensive Income

*(in millions)*

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 | 2019 |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Net income before allocation to noncontrolling interests | $14.8 | $91.0 |
| Components of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax |  |  |
| Currency translation adjustment | 17.2 | 4.7 |
| Changes in pension and postretirement plan assets and benefit obligation, net of tax | 3.6 | 1.9 |
| Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax | 20.8 | 6.6 |
| Comprehensive income before allocation to noncontrolling interests | 35.6 | 97.6 |
| Less: Noncontrolling interests in comprehensive income | 0.2 | — |
| Comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders | $35.4 | $97.6 |

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, comprehensive income before allocations to noncontrolling interests was $35.6 million compared to $97.6 million in the same period of 2019. The $62.0 million decrease was driven by lower net income before allocation to noncontrolling interests of $76.2 million, partially offset by a $12.5 million year over year favorable impact of foreign currency translation adjustments, primarily related to the British pound.

### Segment Results of Operations - Three Month Periods Ended June 30

### Fluid Handling

- Sales of Process Valves and Related Products decreased by $21.6 million, or 11.8%, to $160.8 million in 2020. The decrease reflected lower core sales of $34.4 million, or 18.8%, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $2.3 million, or 1.3%, primarily due to the euro weakening against the U.S. dollar, partially offset by a benefit from the acquisition of I&S of $15.1 million, or 8.3%. The core sales decline primarily reflected a broad-based decline in demand related to impacts from COVID-19, including sharply lower oil and gas prices.
- Sales of Commercial Valves decreased by $25.3 million, or 30.3%, to $58.3 million in 2020, primarily driven by a core sales decrease of $23.1 million, or 27.7%, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $2.2 million, or 2.6%, as the Canadian dollar and British pound weakened against the U.S. dollar. The core sales decline reflected a broad-based decline in demand related to COVID-19 across all geographies.

| Income before income taxes | 99.2 | 222.9 | (123.7) | (55.5)% |
| Provision for income taxes | 21.6 | 49.4 | (27.8) | (56.3)% |
| Net income before allocation to noncontrolling interests | 77.6 | 173.5 | (95.9) | (55.3)% |

Sales decreased by $197.6 million, or 11.8%, to $1,475.7 million in 2020. Net sales related to operations outside the United States were 36.3% and 35.2% of total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The year-over-year change in sales included:

- a decrease in core sales of $283.5 million, or 16.9%, primarily due to lower demand related to COVID-19;
- unfavorable foreign currency translation of $14.6 million, or 0.9%; and
- an increase in sales related to a benefit from acquisitions of $100.5 million, or 6.0%.

Operating profit decreased by $117.4 million, or 49.6%, to $119.1 million in 2020. The decrease in operating profit primarily reflected the lower operating profit in each of our segments. Operating profit in the first six months of 2020 included restructuring and related charges, net of $25.2 million and acquisition-related and integration charges of $7.5 million. Operating profit in the first six months of 2019 included restructuring and related charges of $11.7 million and acquisition-related and integration charges of $3.5 million.

Other income (expense) decreased $6.3 million, or 46.3% primarily reflecting higher interest expense and the absence of $3.1 million of unrealized gains recognized in 2019 on marketable securities.

Our effective tax rate is affected by a number of items, both recurring and discrete, including the amount of income we earn in different jurisdictions and their respective statutory tax rates, acquisitions and dispositions, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws, regulations and accounting principles, the continued availability of statutory tax credits and deductions, the continued reinvestment of our overseas earnings, and examinations initiated by tax authorities around the world.

Our tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is lower than the prior year’s comparable period primarily due to the settlement of income tax audits, partially offset by a lower foreign tax credit utilization.

Our tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is higher than the statutory U.S. federal tax rate of 21% primarily due to earnings in jurisdictions with statutory tax rates higher than the U.S. and certain expenses that are statutorily non-deductible for income tax purposes, partially offset by excess share-based compensation benefits and the statutory U.S. deduction related to our non-U.S. subsidiaries’ income.

### Comprehensive Income

*(in millions)*

|  | Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 | 2019 |
| --- | ---: | ---: |

| Less: Noncontrolling interests in comprehensive income | (0.1) | (0.1) |
| Comprehensive income attributable to common shareholders | $56.8 | $182.3 |

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, comprehensive income before allocations to noncontrolling interests was $56.7 million compared to $182.2 million in the same period of 2019. The $125.5 million decrease was primarily driven by lower net income before allocation to noncontrolling interests of $95.9 million and a $31.9 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation adjustments primarily related to the British pound and Canadian dollar.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

*(in millions)*

| Net cash provided by (used for): | Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 | 2019 |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Operating activities | $76.6 | $52.5 |
| Investing activities | (183.1) | (44.2) |
| Financing activities | 314.9 | (45.3) |
| Effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | (10.2) | 0.6 |
| Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $198.2 | $(36.4) |

Our operating philosophy is to deploy cash provided from operating activities, when appropriate, to provide value to shareholders by reinvesting in existing businesses, by making acquisitions that will strengthen and complement our portfolio, by divesting businesses that are no longer strategic and by paying dividends and/or repurchasing shares.

On April 16, 2020, to enhance financial flexibility and maintain maximum liquidity in response to the uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we entered into a senior unsecured 364-day credit facility (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”). We borrowed term loans denominated in dollars in an aggregate principal amount equal to $300 million, and term loans denominated in euros in an aggregate principal amount equal to €40 million under the 364-Day Credit Agreement. Our current cash balance, together with cash we expect to generate from future operations (inclusive of actions we are taking to reduce costs and spending across our organization in response to the COVID-19 pandemic) along with our commercial paper program or borrowings available under our revolving credit facility and 364-Day Credit Agreement, is expected to be sufficient to finance our short- and long-term capital requirements, as well as to fund payments associated with our asbestos and environmental liabilities and expected pension contributions. In addition, we believe our investment grade credit ratings afford us adequate access to public and private debt markets.

#### Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities was $76.6 million in the first six months of 2020, compared to $52.5 million during the same period last year. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by lower working capital requirements due to lower sales, partially offset by lower net income. Net asbestos-related payments in the first six months of 2020 and 2019 were $19.2 million and $17.9 million, respectively. In 2020, we expect to make payments related to asbestos settlement and defense costs, net of related insurance recoveries, of approximately $50 million. We have chosen to defer contributions to our U.S. pension plans of $18.2 million until January 1, 2021 as permitted by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020.

#### Investing Activities

Cash flows relating to investing activities consist primarily of cash used for acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cash used for investing activities was $183.1 million in the first six months of 2020, compared to $44.2 million in the comparable period of 2019. The increase in cash used for investing activities was driven by cash paid for the acquisition of I&S of $172.3 million, partially offset by lower capital expenditures compared to the same period last year. Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing capacity, replacing equipment, supporting new product development and improving information systems. As it relates to COVID-19, we are deferring certain capital expenditures and expect to spend $45 million in 2020 from the previously disclosed projected amount of approximately $75 million.

#### Financing Activities

Financing cash flows consist primarily of dividend payments to shareholders, share repurchases, repayments of indebtedness, proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and commercial paper and proceeds from the issuance of common stock. Cash provided by financing activities was $314.9 million during the first six months of 2020, compared to cash used for financing activities of $45.3 million in the comparable period of 2019. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was driven by $92.0 million of net proceeds received from the issuance of commercial paper and $343.9 million of borrowings under the 364-day credit facility, partially offset by $70.0 million of cash used for the repurchase of shares in the first quarter of 2020.

## Risk factors

As filed, 3,639 characters.

The following represents a material change in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

***Our financial condition and results of operations are expected to continue to be adversely affected by the recent coronavirus pandemic.***

The novel strain of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic is expected to continue to have an adverse impact on our operations and financial performance, as well as on the operations and financial performance of many of the customers and suppliers in industries that we serve. It is very difficult to predict the extent to which the pandemic and related impacts will have on our business operations, financial performance, results of operations, and financial position.

We believe our operations and financial performance will be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic which has and will continue to cause a global slowdown of economic activity (including a decrease in demand for a broad variety of goods and services), disruptions in global supply chains and significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. Because the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences remain uncertain and rapidly changing, it is difficult to predict the extent of the pandemic’s impact on our operations and financial performance. Further, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance depends on many factors that are not within our control, including, but not limited, to: governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic (including shutdown orders, border closings, restrictions on travel and transport and workforce pressures); the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response on global and regional economies, travel, and economic activity; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and financial market volatility; global economic conditions and levels of economic growth; commodity prices such as oil and gas, and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

We continue to expect lower demand and volume for products and services, customer requests for payment deferrals and other contract modifications including price concessions, supply chain disruptions, delays of deliveries and other factors related directly and indirectly to the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect that the longer the period of economic and global supply chain and disruption continues, the more adverse the impact will be on our business operations, financial performance and results of operations.

As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. A continued worldwide disruption could materially affect our future access to our sources of liquidity, particularly our cash flows from operations and access to credit markets, which could impact our financial condition, capitalization, and capital investments. In the event of a sustained market deterioration, we may need additional liquidity, which would require us to evaluate available alternatives and take appropriate actions. Additionally, a prolonged period of generating lower cash flows from operations could adversely affect our financial condition and the achievement of our strategic objectives. Conditions in the financial and credit markets may also limit the availability of funding or increase the cost of funding, which could adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.
