Neal J. Keating, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We continued to demonstrate strength across the majority of our businesses in the third quarter. In Industrial Distribution, we have maintained a steady pace of growth and our focus on profitability improvements continues to yield year-over-year gains. In Aerospace, strong demand across our product lines including bearing product lines, partially offset a delay in shipments of our Joint Programmable Fuzes. The Joint Programmable Fuze program is expected to return to acceptance testing in early November, after encountering acceptance test interruptions, and we expect to achieve our full year delivery target for the program.
"We continue to pursue acquisition opportunities in both business segments to supplement our organic growth and I am pleased that we have announced three acquisitions since the beginning of September - Vermont Composites in Aerospace; and Target Electronics and Plains Bearings in Industrial Distribution. In addition to acquisitions, we continue to develop a range of longer-term opportunities that we believe will enable us to deliver continued revenue growth and margin improvement. These opportunities include the unmanned K-MAX®, two of which are undergoing final testing for deployment in Afghanistan. We are proud that along with our partner, Lockheed Martin, our aircraft will be performing a vital life saving role for the Marine Corps by the end of the year."
Segment reports follow:
Industrial Distribution segment sales increased 7.2% in the 2011 third quarter to $239.1 million compared to $223.1 million a year ago. Acquisitions contributed $1.1 million in sales in the quarter (sales from acquisitions are classified as organic beginning with the thirteenth month following the acquisition). On a sales per sales day* basis, organic sales were up 6.7% over last year's third quarter (see Table 2 for additional details regarding the Company's sales per sales day performance). Segment operating income for the third quarter of 2011 was $11.9 million, a 39.7% increase from operating income of $8.5 million in the third quarter of 2010. The operating profit margin for the third quarter of 2011 was 5.0%. In comparison, the operating profit margin was 5.1% in the second quarter of 2011 and 3.8% in the third quarter of 2010.
Industrial Distribution segment sales for the third quarter of 2011 reflect continued positive market conditions. Market strength was broad based across most geographies, customers and end markets. Operating margin was higher on a year-over-year basis as a result of the higher sales volume, improved productivity resulting from IT investments and our organizational realignment, and continued gross margin improvement.
Aerospace segment sales were $117.4 million, a decrease of 13.9% from sales of $136.4 million in the third quarter of 2010. Operating income for the third quarter of 2011 was $18.7 million, compared to operating income of $19.0 million in the 2010 third quarter. The operating margin in this year's third quarter was 15.9% as compared to 13.9% (15.7% adjusted*) in the comparable period in the prior year. Third quarter 2011 results benefited as compared to the prior year period from higher sales of bearing product lines and the unmanned K-MAX® program. These increases were offset by lower deliveries associated with acceptance testing interruptions on the Joint Programmable Fuze program. During the third quarter approximately 1,200 JPF fuzes were delivered as compared to over 9,000 in the prior year period. The program is expected to return to acceptance testing in early November. Results in the prior year include a pre-tax charge of $2.0 million, or after-tax $0.05 per diluted share, related to the resolution of pricing associated with a customer contract.
Other
During the third quarter of 2010 the Company received a look-back interest payment of $6.6 million from the IRS, which was recorded as interest income, related to the Australian helicopter program. Net of tax, this resulted in income of $0.17 per diluted share.
Outlook
The Company's updated expectations for 2011 are as follows:
- Aerospace segment sales of approximately $560 million up 15% over 2010
- Aerospace operating margins of 15.3% to 15.5%
- Industrial Distribution sales of approximately $950 million up 14% over 2010
- Industrial Distribution segment operating margins of 4.8% to 5.0%
- Interest expense of approximately $12.0 million
- Corporate expenses of approximately $43.0 million to $44.0 million for the year
- Tax rate for the full year of approximately 34%
- Free cash flow* of $15 million to $20 million
The Aerospace outlook excludes contributions from the acquisition of Vermont Composites. The outlook for corporate expenses excludes the non-recurring benefit of $2.4 million recognized in the first quarter of 2011 resulting from the death of a former executive.
Chief Financial Officer, William C. Denninger, commented, "We have essentially maintained our full year outlook for sales and operating profit for both of our businesses, but tightened it up a bit with three quarters of the year behind us. Order intake in our aerospace bearing product lines has been robust affirming our expectations for that business, and notwithstanding the delays in the JPF program, we expect to meet our full year outlook. Our Industrial Distribution business also remains on track with our previous full-year expectations, including a positive but slowing rate of sales growth. We continue to focus on total return to shareholders demonstrated by our recent 14% dividend increase and stock repurchases.”

A conference call has been scheduled for tomorrow, November 3, 2011 at 8:30 AM EDT. Listeners may access the call live over the Internet through a link on the home page of the Company's website at http://www.kaman.com. In its discussion, management may include certain non-GAAP measures related to company performance. If so, a reconciliation of that information to GAAP, if not provided in this release, will be provided in the exhibits to the conference call and will be available through the Internet link provided above.
Non-GAAP Measure Disclosure
Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures indicated by an asterisk (*) used in this release or in other disclosures provide investors with important perspectives into the Company's ongoing business performance. The Company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Other companies may define the measures differently. We define the non-GAAP measures used in this report and other disclosures, as follows:
Organic Sales per Sales Day - Organic sales per sales day is defined as GAAP “Net sales from the Industrial Distribution segment” less sales derived from acquisitions, divided by the number of sales days in a given period. Sales days are essentially business days that the Company's branch locations are open for business and exclude weekends and holidays. Sales days are provided as part of this release. Management believes sales per sales day provides investors with an important perspective on how net sales may be impacted by the number of days the segment is open for business.
Management uses sales per sales day as a measurement to compare periods in which the number of sales days differ. The following table illustrates the calculation of organic sales per sales day using “Net sales: Industrial Distribution” from the “Segment Information” footnote in the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” from the Company's Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2011. Sales from acquisitions are classified as organic beginning with the thirteenth month following the acquisition.

| Organic sales per sales day | $ | 3,778 | $ | 3,542 | ||||
Free Cash Flow - Free cash flow is defined as GAAP “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” less “Expenditures for property, plant & equipment.” Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for dividends to shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long-term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow internally to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. The following table illustrates the calculation of free cash flow using “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” and “Expenditures for property, plant & equipment”, GAAP measures from the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows included in this release.

Debt to Capitalization Ratio - Debt to capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing debt by capitalization. Debt is defined as GAAP “Notes payable” plus “Current portion of long-term debt” plus “Long-term debt, excluding current portion.” Capitalization is defined as Debt plus GAAP “Total shareholders' equity.” Management believes that debt to capitalization is a measurement of financial leverage and provides investors with an insight into the financial structure of the Company and its financial strength. The following table illustrates the calculation of debt to capitalization using GAAP measures from the balance sheets included in this release.
