BERWYN, Pa., April 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced first quarter results that established records for orders, sales, operating income, operating margins, net income and diluted earnings per share.

AMETEK's first quarter 2012 sales of $827.2 million were up 15% over the same period of 2011.  Operating income was $182.8 million for the first quarter of 2012, a 20% increase from $152.0 million recorded in the same period of 2011.  Operating margins in the first quarter of 2012 were 22.1%, a 90 basis point improvement over the first quarter of 2011.  Net income in the first quarter of 2012 increased 22% to $110.2 million, from $90.4 million in last year's first quarter.  Diluted earnings per share increased 21% to $0.68 per diluted share, from the first quarter 2011 level of $0.56 per diluted share. 

"AMETEK achieved excellent results in the first quarter. Sales were up 15% on solid core growth and the contributions from acquisitions completed during the past year.  As expected, our aerospace and process businesses had an excellent quarter.  The strong overall growth translated into a record level of sales and, coupled with our continued focus on Operating Excellence, drove the excellent bottom line performance," noted Frank S. Hermance, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. 

"Cash flow was superb, with operating cash flow totaling $141 million for the quarter, an increase of 36% over the same period in 2011," continued Mr. Hermance. 

Electronic Instruments Group (EIG)
For the 2012 first quarter, EIG sales increased 21% to $468.8 million.  Operating income in the first quarter of 2012 increased 23% to $123.0 million, compared with $100.0 million in the first quarter of 2011.  Operating margins were 26.2% in the first quarter of 2012, up 50 basis points from 25.7% in last year's first quarter.

"EIG had a tremendous first quarter.  Excellent core growth resulted from strength in our aerospace and process businesses.  The recent Reichert Technologies, EM Test, Technical Manufacturing Corp. and O'Brien acquisitions also contributed to the revenue increase.  Operating margins expansion was driven by the higher revenue and our Operational Excellence initiatives," said Mr. Hermance.

Electromechanical Group (EMG)
For the first quarter of 2012, EMG sales increased 9% to $358.3 million.  Operating income in the first quarter of 2012 of $70.9 million was up 13%, compared with $62.9 million in the same period of 2011.  Operating margins were 19.8% in the first quarter of 2012, up 70 basis points from 19.1% in last year's first quarter.

"EMG also had a strong first quarter.  Core growth in our differentiated businesses and the contributions from the acquisitions of Avicenna Technology and Coining drove the top line increase.  Operating margins were up nicely on the higher revenue and our Operational Excellence initiatives," commented Mr. Hermance.

2012 Outlook
"We expect our businesses to continue to show solid growth in 2012, with our higher margin, longer cycle aerospace, oil and gas, and power businesses showing particular strength.  Our strong portfolio of businesses, proven operational capabilities, and a successful focus on strategic acquisitions should enable us to perform well in 2012," noted Mr. Hermance.

"We anticipate 2012 revenue to be up low double digits on a percentage basis from 2011 reflecting mid single digit core growth and contributions from recent acquisitions.  Earnings for 2012 are expected to be in the range of $2.70 to $2.75 per diluted share, up 14% to 16% over 2011, reflecting the leveraged impact of core growth, operational initiatives and the benefit from recent acquisitions.  This is an increase from our previous guidance of $2.65 to $2.70 per diluted share," added Mr. Hermance.

"Second quarter sales are expected to be up approximately 10% over last year's second quarter.  We estimate our earnings to be approximately $0.65 to $0.68 per diluted share, an increase of 12% to 17% over last year's second quarter of $0.58 per diluted share," concluded Mr. Hermance.
