“The six
percent sequential sales growth we reported in our fiscal third quarter is
encouraging and in line with our internal expectations,” said Dr. Michael J.
Hartnett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We saw the demand
for our products reach bottom and turn positive late in our second quarter;
consequently, our third quarter reflects a modest improvement in sales,
partially constrained by lead times. Today, we are very pleased to
see the continued expansion in demand for our products in most of our major
markets.”
Third Quarter
Results
Net sales
for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were $67.5 million, a decrease of 20.9%
from $85.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and a 6.0% increase over
the second quarter of fiscal 2010. The decrease of 20.9% was driven by a
decrease of 16.6% in our industrial business and by a 23.8% decrease in net
sales in our aerospace and defense business. Gross margin for the
third quarter was $20.4 million compared to $28.5 million for the same period
last year. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 30.3% in the third
quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 33.4% for the same period last year. The
decline in gross margin percentage was mainly driven by the current economic
downturn combined with start-up costs associated with the Company’s expansion
into new bearing products. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales,
excluding $0.6 million of start-up costs, was 31.2% compared to 34.4% for the
same adjusted period last year.
Operating
income decreased 36.4% to $8.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010
compared to $12.8 million for the same period last year. As a percentage of net
sales, operating income was 12.1% compared to 15.0% for the same period last
year. Operating income excluding start-up costs associated with the expansion
into new bearing products, restructuring and moving costs and the disposal of
fixed assets was $8.9 million, a decrease of 38.6% compared to adjusted
operating income for the same period last year. As a percentage of
net sales, operating income, excluding these charges, was 13.2% compared to
17.0% for the same adjusted period last year.
Interest
expense, net for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was $0.4 million, compared to
$0.7 million for the same period last year.
Other
non-operating income was $0.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal
2010. This was mainly comprised of a CDSOA payment of $0.2
million.
For the
third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company reported net income of $5.2 million
compared to net income of $7.7 million in the same period last
year. Excluding the after-tax start-up costs associated with the
expansion into new bearing products, restructuring and moving costs, disposal of
fixed assets, the CDSOA payment and foreign exchange (gain)/loss on intercompany
loans, net income decreased 37.5% to $5.6 million compared to $9.0 million for
the same adjusted period last year.
Nine Month
Results
Net sales
for the nine month period ended December 26, 2009 were $194.9 million, a

27, 2008. Gross margin for the nine month period ended December 26, 2009 was
$59.4 million compared to $89.3 million for the same period last year. Gross
margin as a percentage of net sales was 30.5% for the nine month period of
fiscal 2010 compared to 32.8% for the same period last year. The decline in
gross margin percentage was mainly driven by the current economic downturn
combined with start-up costs associated with the Company’s expansion into new
bearing products. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales,
excluding start-up costs, was 31.5% compared to 33.5% for the same adjusted
period last year.
For the
nine month period ended December 26, 2009, the Company reported operating income
of $23.2 million compared to $45.0 million for the same period last
year. Operating income excluding start-up costs associated with the
expansion into new bearing products, restructuring and moving costs and the
disposal of fixed assets was $25.9 million for the nine month period ended
December 26, 2009 compared to $48.6 million for the same adjusted period last
year. Operating income as a percentage of net sales excluding these
charges was 13.3% for the nine month period ended December 26, 2009 compared to
17.9% for the same adjusted period last year.
Interest
expense, net for the nine month period ended December 26, 2009 was $1.3 million,
a decrease of $0.8 million, from $2.1 million for the same period last
year.
Other
non-operating income was $0.4 million for the nine month period ended December
26, 2009. This was mainly comprised of foreign exchange gains on
inter-company loans between our U.S. division and International division and a
CDSOA payment of $0.2 million.
Net
income for the nine month period ended December 26, 2009 was $14.7 million
compared to net income of $28.0 million for the same period last
year. Excluding the after-tax start-up costs associated with the
expansion into new bearing products, restructuring and moving costs, disposal of
fixed assets, the CDSOA payment, foreign exchange (gain)/loss and loss on early
extinguishment of debt, net income was $16.2 million compared to $30.9 million
for the same adjusted period last year.
CDSOA
Payment
In
December 2009, the Company received approximately $0.2 million in payments under
the U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act “CDSOA” compared to $0.4
million received in December 2008. The CDSOA distributes antidumping duties paid
by overseas companies to qualified domestic firms hurt by unfair trade. This
payment has been classified below Operating income in “Other non-operating
expense (income)” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Non-GAAP
Financial Measures

discloses non-GAAP results of operations that exclude certain
charges. These non-GAAP measures adjust for charges that Management
believes are unusual. Management believes that the presentation of these
non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the
Company’s results of operations, as these non-GAAP measures allow investors to
better evaluate ongoing business performance. Investors should consider non-GAAP
measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures
disclosed in the press release with the most comparable GAAP measures are
included in the financial table attached to this press release.
