“Our solid second quarter operating performance was driven by strong industrial sales growth, combined with continued gross margin improvements across the organization,” said Dr. Michael J. Hartnett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are able to maintain our improved margin profile as a result of our cost initiatives, manufacturing process improvements, and consolidation programs. Moving forward, our backlog remains strong and we are confident in our ability to maintain the strong momentum throughout the second half of the year.”
Second Quarter Results
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 were $164.3 million, an increase of 6.7% from $153.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Net sales for the aerospace markets decreased 1.2% and the industrial markets increased by 22.9%. Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was $61.8 million compared to $56.7 million for the same period last year.

Other operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 totaled $8.9 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period last year.

Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was $25.3 million compared to operating income of $29.6 million for the same period last year. Excluding costs associated with restructuring of our Canadian operation, operating income would have been $31.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to an adjusted $29.8 million for the same period last year.

Restructuring of Canadian Operation
In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company reached a decision to restructure its manufacturing operation in Montreal, Canada. After completing its obligations, the Company expects to close its Montreal location and consolidate certain residual assets into other locations by the end of this fiscal year. As a result, the Company recorded an after-tax charge of $5.6 million associated with the restructuring in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 attributable to the Engineered Products segment. The $5.6 million charge includes $1.3 million impairment of fixed assets and $5.2 million impairment of intangible assets offset by $0.9 million tax benefit. The total expected impact of this restructuring will be between $7.0 million and $7.5 million in after-tax charges. The Company expects a positive cash flow result of approximately $4.4 million from this action.
Outlook for the Third Quarter Fiscal 2018
The Company expects net sales to be approximately $162.0 million to $163.0 million in the third quarter fiscal 2018. This would result in a growth rate of approximately 10.5% to 11.1% on a year over year basis.
