CLEVELAND, April 26, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Applied Industrial Technologies (NYSE: AIT) today reported third quarter fiscal 2012 sales and earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  

Net sales for the third quarter increased 7.0% to $605.5 million from $566.0 million in the comparable period a year ago.  Net income for the quarter increased 10.9% to $29.4 million, or $0.69 per share, compared to $26.5 million, or $0.61 per share, last year.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, sales increased 8.2% to $1.76 billion from $1.62 billion in the same period last year.  Net income increased 12.0% to $76.7 million, or $1.79 per share, compared to $68.5 million, or $1.58 per share, last year.

Commenting on the Company's performance, Applied's Chief Executive Officer Neil A.

"Entering the final quarter of our fiscal year, we are operating in an active industrial economic environment.  We are maintaining our full fiscal 2012 sales guidance of $2.35 billion to $2.45 billion, and we are narrowing our earnings per share guidance to between $2.45 and $2.55 per share," said Schrimsher.

In addition, Mr. Schrimsher announced today that the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per common share, payable on May 31, 2012, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2012.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     (1)  Applied uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing U.S. inventory.  An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can only be made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.  Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory determination.


There were no LIFO layer liquidation benefits recognized for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  We recorded overall LIFO benefits in the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2011 of $0.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and LIFO reserves were reduced by the same amount.
