AMETEK ANNOUNCES RECORD RESULTS
Berwyn, PA, April 25, 2013 – AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced first quarter results that established records for sales, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share.
AMETEK’s first quarter 2013 sales of $882.9 million were up 7% over the same period of 2012. Operating income was $197.2 million in the first quarter of 2013, an 8% increase from $182.8 million recorded in the same period of 2012. Net income in the first quarter of 2013 increased 14% to $125.1 million, from $110.2 million in last year’s first quarter. Diluted earnings per share increased 13% to $0.51 per diluted share, from the first quarter 2012 level of $0.45 per diluted share.
The first quarter 2013 results include approximately $0.01 per diluted share in realignment costs and approximately $0.01 per diluted share in costs related to the performance-based accelerated vesting of restricted stock. Performance-based vesting occurred as a result of the stock price doubling in less than three years since the issue of the grant, reflecting the significant value created for AMETEK shareholders.
“AMETEK achieved solid results in the first quarter with sales, operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share at record levels. While end market demand remains tepid, our team executed extremely well on Operational Excellence initiatives, which led to strong results in the quarter,” noted Frank S. Hermance, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“Cash flow was strong, with operating cash flow totaling $157 million for the quarter, an increase of 11% over the same period in 2012,” continued Mr. Hermance.
Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) For the 2013 first quarter, EIG sales increased 3% to $484.5 million. Operating income in the quarter increased 7% to $131.7 million, compared with $123.0 million in the first quarter of 2012. Operating margins were 27.2% in the first quarter, up 100 basis points from 26.2% in last year’s first quarter.
“EIG had a solid first quarter with excellent operating performance. Sales were up due to strength in our Aerospace and oil and gas businesses, combined with the contribution from the Micro-Poise acquisition. Operating margins expanded nicely driven by the higher revenue and our Operational Excellence initiatives,” said Mr. Hermance.

Electromechanical Group (EMG) For the first quarter of 2013, EMG sales increased 11% to $398.4 million. Operating income in the first quarter of 2013 of $78.0 million was up 10%, compared with $70.9 million in the same period of 2012. Operating margins were 19.6% in the first quarter, compared with 19.8% in last year’s first quarter.
“EMG also had a solid first quarter with strong core growth in our third party Aerospace MRO business and the contribution from the Dunkermotoren acquisition driving the top line increase,” commented Mr. Hermance.
2013 Outlook “We expect sluggish end market conditions to continue. We have taken additional cost actions to ensure we are properly positioned for the remainder of 2013. Organic growth in the second half of the year is expected to be stronger than the first half. Our strong portfolio of businesses, proven operational capabilities, and a successful focus on strategic acquisitions should enable us to perform well in 2013,” noted Mr. Hermance.
“We anticipate 2013 revenue to be up high single digits on a percentage basis from 2012, reflecting low to mid-single digit core growth and contributions from recent acquisitions. Earnings for 2013 are expected to be in the range of $2.08 to $2.12 per diluted share, up 11% to 13% over 2012, reflecting the leveraged impact of core growth, operational initiatives and the contributions from recently acquired businesses,” added Mr. Hermance.
“Second quarter sales are expected to be up mid to high single digits over last year’s second quarter. We estimate our earnings to be approximately $0.51 to $0.52 per diluted share, an increase of 9% to 11% over last year’s second quarter of $0.47 per diluted share,” concluded Mr. Hermance.
