“Continued improvements in the current economic climate, particularly within our industrial and automotive end markets, led to double-digit sales growth for the second consecutive quarter,” said Gregory F. Milzcik, President and Chief Executive Officer, Barnes Group Inc. “This increase in sales, paired with our continued focus on maintaining an efficient cost structure and productivity, contributed to a meaningful improvement to our third quarter operating profit.
“We also experienced continued growth in our backlog and strong order rates, which position us well to build upon our success as we move into the fourth quarter,” Milzcik said. “While we are seeing strong growth in Precision Components and increased activity within our distribution and aerospace aftermarket businesses, we continue to remain cautious. Our 2010 diluted earnings per share guidance has been tightened to $0.95 to $1.00 given current and anticipated market conditions.”

Logistics and Manufacturing Services
|
·
|
Third quarter 2010 sales at Logistics and Manufacturing Services were $138.9 million, an increase of 5.8 percent from $131.3 million in the same period last year. The increase in sales was driven primarily by revenue growth in the North American distribution businesses as macro-economic conditions, including industrial production, continued to improve. The European-based distribution business experienced a slight decline in sales compared to the same period last year mainly due to the negative impact of foreign exchange. Aerospace aftermarket reported an increase in sales over the prior year period reflecting modest improvement in maintenance, repair and overhaul activity and new product introduction. Foreign exchange negatively impacted third quarter 2010 sales by $1.5 million.
|
|
·
|
Operating profit was $10.8 million, compared with $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2009. This primarily results from increased personnel costs related to expanding the sales force and improving productivity in the distribution businesses. Operating profit was also impacted by higher product and freight costs. Higher sales helped partially offset the impact of these trends. Operating margin was 7.8 percent compared to 9.0 percent in the prior year.
|
Precision Components
|
·
|
Order rates within Precision Components experienced an increase over the prior year and outpaced sales for the fourth consecutive quarter. Third quarter 2010 sales were $154.0 million, up 18.4 percent from $130.0 million in the same period last year. Year-over-year sales growth continued to be driven by improved market demand primarily from the industrial manufacturing businesses in North America and Europe and from improvements in the transportation industry, including automotive. Sales in the aerospace original equipment manufacturing business were relatively flat compared to the third quarter of 2009. Foreign exchange negatively affected sales by $1.2 million in the third quarter.
|
|
·
|
Operating profit for the third quarter of 2010 increased significantly to $14.0 million, as compared with $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2009. The higher operating profit was due primarily to the increase in 2010 sales levels, as well as a lower fixed cost structure, and a focus on lean initiatives to improve operating efficiency. Sales gains helped offset higher personnel costs and expenses associated with increases in new product introductions. Included in Precision Components third quarter 2009 results are $3.4 million (pre-tax) for restructuring charges related to moving operations in two facilities that provided a more cost effective manufacturing footprint. Operating margin was 9.1 percent compared to 2.1 percent in the prior year.

Additional Information
|
·
|
Other income, net of other expenses, decreased $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2010, compared to the same period of 2009 primarily as a result of a $1.5 million gain in 2009 on the repurchase of certain convertible notes. Year-to-date, other income, net of other expenses, decreased $4.8 million, primarily as a result of a $3.8 million gain in 2009 on the repurchase of certain convertible notes.
|
|
·
|
The Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2010 was 17.7 percent compared to 5.1 percent in 2009. Included in the 2009 year-to-date tax expense is a $1.6 million tax benefit related to the third quarter 2009 restructuring actions. Changes to the Company’s tax rate are largely based on changes in the projected mix of income between taxing jurisdictions.
