Management Commentary

James O’Leary, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Our results through the end of our third quarter reflect an industrial environment that has been generally strong and stable through much of 2011. However, the third quarter of 2011 saw a lower level of industrial orders, particularly those placed for immediate shipment, than experienced earlier in the year due to economic uncertainty that persisted through much of August and September, principally in Europe. While order rates remain more volatile than earlier in the year, the absolute level of orders in the first few weeks of the fourth quarter has stabilized relative to prior year.

“Overall, our wind energy and military businesses continue to perform in line with expectations that reflect the economic and fiscal issues affecting these end markets. While we currently expect these end markets to remain stable in the near term, the potential expiration of the Production Tax Credit (PTC) in 2012 could provide upside to expectations for wind energy in the upcoming year.

“Our performance for the balance of 2011 and into 2012 remains dependent on renewed strengthening in economic and industrial conditions as experienced earlier in 2011. Regardless of the economic backdrop, however, our strategy of proactively managing costs and maximizing cash flow while identifying and pursuing new opportunities will continue to serve us well. Notably, we continue to make progress in expanding our footprint globally, better positioning us to serve faster growing industrial markets around the world. For the year thus far, we have record international sales both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of overall sales as we broaden our businesses’ global reach and better balance our overall portfolio.”

Segment Results and Review

Friction Control Products sales in the third quarter of 2011 were $69.9 million, compared to $78.0 million in the 2010 third quarter. The expected decline was attributable to decreased wind energy sales, as wind energy sales declined approximately $10 million compared to the third quarter of 2010. Management expects annual wind energy sales of approximately $60 million for 2011. Management currently expects wind energy sales at a level at least equal to 2011 in 2012, with an upward bias due to the potential expiration of the PTC in 2012. Third quarter 2011 sales to industrial markets increased almost 7 percent compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Third quarter 2011 Friction Control Products operating income totaled $11.1 million, compared to $12.7 million in the prior third quarter. The decline was attributable primarily to the decreased wind energy sales as compared to the third quarter 2010.

Velocity Control Products sales in the third quarter of 2011 were $24.4 million, compared to $15.9 million in the third quarter of 2010. Operating income for this segment in the third quarter of 2011 totaled $6.1 million, compared to $4.1 million earned in the third quarter of 2010, due to improved sales and the addition of Hahn which was acquired in the second quarter of 2011. This segment benefited from both the Hahn acquisition and the continued emphasis upon reinvigorating our sales efforts in North America and expanding our reach abroad.

Other Industrial Products sales in the third quarter of 2011 equaled $27.4 million, compared to $24.3 million in the prior year third quarter. Operating income equaled $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2010, due primarily to improved volume and product mix. This segment benefitted from successful cost reduction efforts in its Sealing Products business and strong aerospace sales of these products.

Order Activity

Orders were $130.4 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $136.8 million in the third quarter of 2010. Backlog at October 1, 2011 was $205.1 million, compared to $205.0 million at October 2, 2010 and $196.4 million at July 2, 2011, the end of second quarter 2011.

Financial Position and Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure defined by the Company, was $10.5 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $10.3 million in the third quarter of 2010.

On July 5, 2011, the Company paid common stock dividends of $.19 per share or $6.1 million. The Company’s third quarter 2011 dividend, paid on October 3, 2011, was at a rate of $.20 per share, an increase of 5.3 percent from the previous rate. During the third quarter of 2011 the Company repurchased 205,000 shares of common stock for $6.6 million. Year-to-date share repurchases totaled 947,091 shares for $34.7 million.

As of October 1, 2011, the Company had unrestricted cash totaling $219.1 million. The Company has a $250 million senior revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks which provides for borrowings by the Company for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this facility and no other debt outstanding as of October 1, 2011.
