Sun Hydraulics Reports Second Quarter Sales of $57 Million and Earnings of $0.43 per share

SARASOTA, FLA, August 6, 2012 – Sun Hydraulics Corporation (NASDAQ: SNHY) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2012 as follows:

(Dollars in millions except net income per share)


	June 30, 2012		July 2, 2011		Increase

Three Months Ended
Net Sales	$	57.0	$	54.8		4	%
Net Income	$	11.2	$	10.4		8	%
Net Income per share:
Basic	$	0.43	$	0.41		5	%
Diluted	$	0.43	$	0.41		5	%

Six Months Ended
Net Sales	$	112.3	$	105.5		6	%
Net Income	$	21.9	$	20.2		8	%
Net Income per share:
Basic	$	0.85	$	0.79		8	%
Fully Diluted	$	0.84	$	0.79		6	%

Commenting on results, Sun’s CEO and President Allen Carlson said, “Sun had another record quarter with sales of $57 million. Second quarter sales were up 4%, despite a 2% negative impact due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar. Strong domestic demand continued to drive the top line, with year-to-date North American sales up 19% compared to last year. Despite emerging headwinds, Sun had a strong first half and is on track to have another great year of sales and earnings.”

“Our international business slowed in the second quarter, primarily in Europe,” Carlson continued.” While the European economy struggles and China’s growth remains constrained, we continue to add new customers, enlarging our customer base in these regions. Long-term, this market penetration will help bolster Sun’s global market share.”

“We are in a period of economic volatility and it is difficult to anticipate short-term business conditions in this environment,” Carlson concluded. “The PMI, which came in at 49.8, supports the idea of short-term uncertainty. But, Sun is a very agile company and, as we have demonstrated in the past, we are able to rapidly flex and adapt to changing business conditions. Our focus remains on long-term profitable growth by providing both products and services that our customers value. We believe this is the best way to achieve better than average returns for our shareholders.”

Outlook

All geographic regions continue to moderately slow down and third quarter 2012 revenues are expected to be approximately $49 million, compared to $53 million in the third quarter of 2011. For comparison purposes, the third quarter 2012 outlook includes $1 million in revenue from High Country Tek (HCT), while there was no revenue impact in 2011’s third quarter results from HCT.

Third quarter 2012 earnings per share are estimated to be $0.34 to $0.36, compared to $0.44 in the same period a year ago. HCT is not expected to contribute to 2012 earnings. However, for comparison purposes, 2011 third quarter results included a one-time $0.03 per share gain resulting from the acquisition of HCT. The remainder of the earnings decline is predominantly related to lower sales volume.
