BERWYN, PA, NOVEMBER 1, 2016 – AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced its financial results for the three month period ended September 30, 2016.
AMETEK reported third quarter 2016 sales of $945.0 million, down 5% from last year’s third quarter. Operating income was $201.1 million and operating margins were 21.3% in the quarter. Diluted earnings per share of $0.56 were down 14% from last year’s third quarter.
“I am pleased with our team’s performance having delivered results that met our expectations in a challenging macro environment,” said David A. Zapico, AMETEK Chief Executive Officer. “Although prior year comparisons were impacted by weakness in oil and gas and metals markets, we are encouraged to see these markets begin to stabilize.”
Electronic Instruments Group (EIG)
In the third quarter of 2016, EIG sales were $579.3 million, down 3% from last year’s third quarter. Operating income was $142.7 million and operating margins were 24.6% in the quarter.
“Sales in EIG benefited from the recent acquisitions of Brookfield, ESP/SurgeX, Nu Instruments and HS Foils. This growth was offset in large part by weakness across our oil and gas businesses. We are continuing to see solid growth across our Ultra Precision Technologies business,” added Mr. Zapico.
Electromechanical Group (EMG)
For the third quarter of 2016, EMG sales decreased 9% to $365.7 million. Operating income was $71.4 million and operating margins were 19.5% in the quarter.
“Sales continue to be impacted by weakness across our Engineered Materials, Interconnects and Packaging businesses,” noted Mr. Zapico.

2016 Outlook
“We continue to expect 2016 sales to be down low-single digits with organic sales down mid-single digits on a percentage basis versus 2015. We have tightened our earnings guidance range for 2016 to $2.29 to $2.31 per diluted share, leaving the mid-point of our previous guidance unchanged,” adds Mr. Zapico.
“Fourth quarter 2016 sales are expected to be down low-single digits on a percentage basis compared to last year’s fourth quarter. We estimate our earnings in the fourth quarter to be approximately $0.57 to $0.59 per diluted share,” notes Mr. Zapico.
“I am confident in our team’s ability to manage through these market headwinds and am very excited about the long-term opportunity for AMETEK. We remain focused on investing in our businesses for the long-term, deploying our strong cash flow on strategic acquisitions, and driving commercial and operational synergies across our businesses,” concludes Mr. Zapico.
