BERWYN, Pa., Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced third quarter results that established records for sales, operating income, operating margins, net income and diluted earnings per share. 

AMETEK's third quarter 2012 sales of $839.4 million were up 12% over the same period of 2011.  Operating income was $188.2 million in the quarter, an 18% increase from the $159.6 million recorded in the same period of 2011.  Operating margins improved 110 basis points to 22.4% in the third quarter of 2012.  Net income in the third quarter of 2012 increased 18% to $115.4 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, from the third quarter 2011 level of $98.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share.  

"AMETEK achieved strong results in the third quarter with sales, operating income, operating margins and diluted earnings per share at record levels.  Our Operational Excellence initiatives, contributions from acquired businesses, and strength in our oil and gas, aerospace, and power businesses allowed us to exceed our third quarter earnings expectations and raise our 2012 earnings guidance," noted Frank S. Hermance, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

"Cash flow was superb, with operating cash flow a record $163 million for the quarter, an increase of 19% over the third quarter of 2011," continued Mr. Hermance.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, AMETEK sales increased 12% to $2.49 billion from $2.23 billion in the same period of 2011.  Operating income increased 19% to $555.9 million, from $468.6 million earned in the first nine months of 2011.  Net income for the first nine months was $339.2 million, up 20% from $282.6 million in the same period of 2011.  Diluted earnings per share were $1.39 for the first nine months of 2012, up 20% from $1.16 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2011. 

Electronic Instruments Group (EIG)
For the third quarter of 2012, EIG sales increased 12% to $457.1 million.  Operating income in the third quarter of 2012 increased 19% to $121.6 million, compared with $102.4 million in the third quarter of 2011.  Operating margins for the quarter were 26.6%, up 160 basis points from 25.0% in last year's third quarter.

"EIG performed very well in the third quarter.  Sales were up due to strength in our oil and gas, aerospace, and power businesses, combined with contributions from the recently acquired O'Brien, TMC, EM Test, and Reichert Technologies businesses.  Operating margins expanded sharply to a record 26.6%, driven by the higher revenue and our Operational Excellence initiatives," said Mr. Hermance.

Electromechanical Group (EMG)
For the 2012 third quarter, EMG sales increased 12% to $382.3 million.  Operating income in the third quarter of 2012 of $77.3 million was up 13%, compared with $68.4 million in the same period of 2011.  Operating margins for the quarter were 20.2%, up 20 basis points from 20.0% in last year's third quarter. 

"EMG had a solid third quarter.  Sales were up on core growth in our differentiated businesses and the contributions from the recent acquisition of Dunkermotoren, more than offsetting continued weakness in our cost-driven motor business.  Operating margins were up nicely driven by the higher revenue and our Operational Excellence initiatives," commented Mr. Hermance.

2012 Outlook
"Despite the sluggish global environment, AMETEK performed well due to our strong portfolio of businesses, proven operational capabilities, and a successful focus on strategic acquisitions.  We are increasing our earnings guidance for 2012 given our third quarter results and expectations for the balance of the year.  As we have demonstrated in the past, we will respond with additional cost containment actions should business conditions warrant, and we will remain an active acquirer," noted Mr. Hermance.

"We anticipate 2012 revenue to be up low double digits on a percentage basis from 2011 reflecting low to mid single digit organic growth and the contributions from recent acquisitions including Micro-Poise Measurement Systems, which we announced today.  Earnings for 2012 are now expected to be in the range of $1.85 to $1.87 per diluted share, up 17% to 18% over 2011, reflecting the leveraged impact of core growth, the benefit from recent acquisitions and our operational initiatives.  This EPS guidance is an increase from our previous guidance of $1.83 to $1.85 per diluted share that was provided as part of our second quarter earnings release," added Mr. Hermance.

"Fourth quarter sales are expected to be up mid teens on a percentage basis over last year's fourth quarter.  We estimate our earnings to be approximately $0.46 to $0.48 per diluted share, an increase of 10% to 14% over last year's fourth quarter of $0.42 per diluted share," concluded Mr. Hermance.

Conference Call
The Company will webcast its Third Quarter 2012 investor conference call on Tuesday, October 23, 2012, beginning at 8:30 AM ET. The live audio webcast 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.
