BERWYN, Pa., April 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced first quarter results that established quarterly records for orders, sales, operating margins, and diluted earnings per share. In addition, backlog at March 31, 2011 was $910 million -- an all-time high.

AMETEK's first quarter 2011 sales of $717.8 million were up 29% over the same period of 2010.  Operating income was $152.0 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared with $102.4 million in the same period of 2010.  Operating income margin in the quarter of 21.2% was a 280 basis point improvement over the first quarter of 2010.  Net income in the first quarter of 2011 increased 56% to $90.4 million, from $57.9 million in last year's first quarter.  Diluted earnings per share increased 56% to $0.56 per diluted share, from the first quarter 2010 level of $0.36 per diluted share.  

"AMETEK had a tremendous first quarter.  Orders were up 37% to a record $799 million in the quarter with broad based strength evident in most of our markets.  Sales were up 29% on the strength of the order input and the contributions from the acquisitions completed last year.  Our focus on Operational Excellence, coupled with the higher sales, resulted in record earnings and margins for the quarter," noted Frank S. Hermance, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  

Electronic Instruments Group (EIG)

For the 2011 first quarter, EIG sales increased 30% to $388.8 million.  Operating income in the first quarter of 2011 increased 45% to $100.0 million, compared with $69.1 million in the first quarter of 2010.  For the first quarter of 2011, operating margins were 25.7%, up 260 basis points from 23.1% in last year's first quarter.

"EIG had an excellent first quarter.  Strong core growth resulted from the continuing strength in our Process, Power and Industrial businesses.  As expected, our oil and gas businesses showed sizable strength.  The recent Atlas Materials Testing Technology acquisition also contributed to the revenue increase.  This higher revenue, coupled with a streamlined cost structure, enabled us to significantly expand operating margins," said Mr. Hermance.

Electromechanical Group (EMG)

For the 2011 first quarter, EMG sales increased 27% to $328.9 million.  Operating income in the first quarter of 2011 increased 45% to $62.9 million, compared with $43.4 million in the first quarter of 2010.  For the first quarter of 2011, operating margins were 19.1%, up 230 basis points from 16.8% in last year's first quarter.

"EMG also had an excellent first quarter. Strong core growth in our differentiated businesses and the contributions from the acquisitions of Haydon Enterprises and Technical Services for Electronics drove the top line increase.  Operating margins expanded sharply on the higher revenues and our lowered cost structure," commented Mr. Hermance.

2011 Outlook

"We expect our businesses to continue to show solid growth in 2011, with our longer cycle oil and gas, power and aerospace business showing particular strength.  Our record backlog, strong portfolio of businesses, proven operational capabilities, and a successful focus on strategic acquisitions should enable us to perform well in 2011," noted Mr. Hermance.

"We anticipate 2011 revenue to be up high teens on a percentage basis from 2010.  Earnings for 2011 are expected to be in the range of $2.20 to $2.25 per diluted share, up 25% to 28% over 2010, reflecting the leveraged impact of core growth and our streamlined cost structure. This guidance is in-line with our April 15th announcement, and up significantly from our January guidance of $2.00 to $2.07 per diluted share," added Mr. Hermance.

"Second quarter 2011 sales are expected to be up approximately 20% over last year's second quarter.  We estimate our earnings to be approximately $0.53 to $0.55 per diluted share, an increase of 26% to 31% over last year's second quarter of $0.42 per diluted share," concluded Mr. Hermance.  

Included in both the full-year and second quarter guidance is $0.02 per diluted share of costs associated with the performance-based, accelerated vesting of restricted stock, which resulted from a doubling of our stock price since the April 23, 2009 grant date.

Conference Call

The Company will Web cast its First Quarter 2011 investor conference call on Thursday, April 28, 2011, beginning at 8:30 AM ET. The live audio Web cast will be available at the Investors section of www.ametek.com and at www.streetevents.com.  The call will also be archived at the Investors section of www.ametek.com.
