Lincoln Electric Reports Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results
“We are pleased to report very strong sales and operating results for the third quarter,” said John M. Stropki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The significant increase in both sales and operating profits in the quarter were achieved in the midst of ongoing global economic and political uncertainty in many of the key markets we serve.
“Despite this ongoing uncertainty, we continue to focus on our growth strategies which include acquisitions, new product introductions and increasing our commercial presence around the world. These strategies continue to result in market share gains, which played a role in the strong sales increase during the quarter. In addition, our ongoing attention to productivity improvements and selling, general and administrative expenses will continue to provide operating leverage and the flexibility required to execute our long-term strategic objectives to the benefit of our customers, shareholders and employees.”
