Lincoln Electric Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results
“We are pleased to report excellent results for the first quarter of 2012,” said John M. Stropki, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Sales levels for the quarter were a record and overall profitability and operating cash flows improved significantly. Our strong operating performance in the quarter was the result of improved product mix, better pricing dynamics in all of our business segments and the positive impact from recent acquisitions. The continued strength in both sales and profitability during the quarter were particularly positive considering the ongoing economic challenges in many of our key markets.
“The excellent start to 2012 and improved results from all of our operating segments provides the Company with good momentum to capture available market opportunities in an uncertain economic and political environment. We are seeing robust year over year sales growth with particular strength in equipment and automation. We remain focused on our global growth strategies, which include acquisitions, new product introductions and increasing our commercial presence worldwide. In addition, our ongoing attention to continuous improvements in our operations will provide the increased operating leverage and flexibility required to execute our long-term strategic objectives.”
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $62.5 million to $79.2 million in the first quarter from $16.7 million for the comparable period in 2011. During the quarter, the Company repaid its $80.0 million senior unsecured note. The Company also returned $34.3 million to shareholders through the payment of $14.2 million in dividends and the repurchase of $20.1 million, or 432,384 of the Company’s shares, for treasury during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share, which was paid on April 13, 2012 to holders of record as of March 31, 2012.
