Bookings Analysis –
Total Xerium
Order bookings for Q4 2011 were $127.1M compared to Q4 2010 of $142.8M. Q4 2011
worldwide bookings reflect the impact of reduced paper production primarily in Europe. 
Additional impacts include reduced orders in North America and unfavorable currency
movements in Europe and South America.

Paper Machine Clothing
PMC Q4 2011 order bookings of $80.2M are lower than Q4 2010 and Q3 2011 levels of
$89.9M and $84.5M, respectively. Q4 2011 bookings reflect the impact of reduced paper
production in Europe, lower orders in North America and Asia Pacific, and unfavorable
impacts from currency movements in Europe and South America.

Generally,
over
time,
we
expect
growth
in
paper
production
to
be
greater
in
Asia-
Pacific
than
in the
more
mature
North
American
and
Western
European
regions.

New Product Sales as a Percent of Revenue 
Meaningful progress continues on Xerium’s goal to increase its technological leadership.  Our
goal is to derive 60% of XRM’s sales revenue from products developed within the prior five
years that make a measurable improvement in customer performance, are defendable long
term and simultaneously reduce our operating costs.

Total Xerium Quarterly Sales and Gross Margin
000’s
Q4
2011
net
sales
increased
0.4%
from
Q4
2010.
Gross
margins
declined
to
34.6%
for
Q4
2011
as
compared
to
40.3%
for
Q4
2010.
This
decrease
was
primarily
the
result
of
(1)
unfavorable
production
cost
absorption
due
to
concerted
efforts
to
decrease
production
and
reduce
inventories,
(2)
a
favorable
recovery
of
inventory
reserves
in
2010,
(3)
inability
to
offset
increased
raw
material
costs
and
(4)
strong
sales
growth
in
regions
and
products
with
lower
margins.

S G & A and R&D as a Percent of Revenue
In
Q4
2011,
SG&A
and
R&D
as
a
percent
of
sales
is
25.6%
as
compared
to
Q4
2010
of
25.1%.
Favorable
impacts
include
a
decrease
in
management
incentive
compensation
and
stock
compensation.
Partially
offsetting
these
items
were
bank
and
legal
fees,
bad
debt
reserves,
a
2010
gain
on
the
sale
of
land
in
Brazil
and
higher
selling
expense
due
to
inflation
and
higher
headcount.
