“We are pleased to report our tenth consecutive year of revenue growth along with higher operating income and earnings in 2005,” commented Martin R. Benante, Chairman and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation. “We also experienced strong overall organic operating income growth, led by our Metal Treatment segment at 21%, followed by the Motion Control and Flow Control segments which grew 15% and 10%, respectively, in 2005. Our diversification strategy has provided growth in 2005 for both our defense markets, which grew 19%, and commercial and industrial markets, which grew 17%, over the prior year period. Our backlog is at a new record level, which provides us with good momentum heading into 2006. Over the last five years, Curtiss-Wright has delivered a compounded annual growth rates of 28% in sales, 17% in operating income, and 11% in earnings per share. During this same time, our total shareholder return was 20%, which has outperformed the broad market indices and was one of the top performances in the aerospace and defense industry. Achievement of these results during a time in which we acquired over 30 businesses is a strong indication of our ability to integrate acquisitions quickly and profitably.”

Sales
Sales growth in 2005 for the fourth quarter and full year as compared to 2004 was driven by organic growth in most of our base businesses and by contributions from acquisitions. Overall organic growth was 8% for both the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2005 over the prior year periods. The organic sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2005 was spread equally across all of our segments, with Flow Control at 8% and Metal Treatment and Motion Control both at 7%. Acquisitions made in 2004 and 2005 contributed $15.8 million and $100.5 million in incremental sales for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, over the comparable periods in 2004.
In our base businesses, higher sales from our Flow Control segment to the oil and gas and U.S. Navy markets, higher sales from our Motion Control segment to the global ground defense, aerospace defense, and global commercial aerospace markets, and higher sales from our Metal Treatment segment of global shot peening services, all contributed to the organic growth. In addition, foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted sales by $3.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and favorably impacted sales by $1.2 million for the full year ended December 31, 2005, as compared to the prior year periods.
Operating Income
Operating income in 2005 for the fourth quarter and full year increased 31% and 25%, respectively, over the 2004 prior year periods. The increases were due to higher sales volumes, previously implemented cost control initiatives, and favorable sales mix. Overall, organic operating income growth was 30% and 21% for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The strong quarterly operating income performance was led by our Motion Control and Metal Treatment segments, which produced organic growth of 23% and 22%, respectively, while the Flow Control segment grew organically by 12%, as compared to the prior year period.
On a consolidated basis, our operating margin was 14.1% in the fourth quarter of 2005 versus 12.2% in the prior year. All segments posted operating margin improvement in the fourth quarter of 2005 versus the prior year, led by our Metal Treatment segment. Our full year consolidated operating margin was 12.2% for 2005, up considerably from 11.6% in 2004, however, we experienced favorable results in 2005 as compared to 2004 from lower environmental remediation costs of $4.5 million, a gain on the sale of property for $2.8 million, and lower costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 compliance. These favorable impacts were partially offset by increased pension expense and additional infrastructure costs incurred to support our business growth. The overall segment operating margins were flat year-over-year at 12.3%. In addition to the strong organic operating income growth in the segments, foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted operating income by $0.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 and favorably impacted operating income by $0.2 million for the full year ended December 31, 2005, compared to the prior year periods.

Net Earnings
Net earnings increased 24% and 16% for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, over the comparable prior year periods. This improvement was achieved by strong operating income from our business segments, which increased $7.7 million and $22.0 million for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2005, respectively, over the prior year periods.
These improvements were offset by higher interest expense associated with the debt incurred to fund our acquisition program and from higher interest rates. Net earnings for 2004 included nonrecurring tax benefits totaling $3.4 million.
Segment Performance
Flow Control – Sales for the fourth quarter of 2005 were $130.7 million, up 10% over the comparable period last year, principally due to solid organic growth of 8% in the base businesses, and contribution from the fourth quarter 2004 acquisition. The improvement in sales was mainly due to higher sales to the oil and gas market, led by the higher demand for our coker valve products. Higher sales of electronic products, such as the digital signal processing cards used on Naval ships, and JP-5 valve and ball valve products used on aircraft carriers and submarines, respectively, also contributed to the organic growth in 2005. Foreign currency translation had minimal impact on sales in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the prior year period.
Operating income for this segment increased 13% in the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to the prior year period. The improvement was due to strong organic growth of 12%, lead by higher sales volume and favorable sales mix of our oil and gas products, higher volume of our U.S. Navy products, and previously implemented cost reduction initiatives.
Motion Control – Sales for the fourth quarter of 2005 of $137.3 million increased 18% over last year, principally due to the contribution from the 2005 acquisition, which contributed $12.9 million of incremental sales in the fourth quarter of 2005. Sales from the base businesses increased 7% in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the prior year period. This organic growth was due to higher electronic sales to the global ground defense market, led by higher sales of spares for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and higher drive systems spares to the European defense market. New orders for the AN-APR 39 Radar Warning System and production work on the F-22 drove sales increases in our defense aerospace market. Higher commercial aerospace aftermarket sales from our repair and overhaul and integrated sensors businesses also contributed to the organic growth. In addition, foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted sales of this business segment by $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the prior year period.
Operating income for this segment increased 25% for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to the prior year period. The improvement was driven by higher sales volume previously mentioned, favorable sales mix within our European drive system business, and previously implemented cost control initiatives.

Metal Treatment – Sales for the fourth quarter of 2005 of $49.9 million were 7% higher than the comparable period last year. The improvement, all of which was organic, was driven by higher global shot peening revenues due mainly to production work on wing skin components to the commercial aerospace market. This segment also experienced organic growth in the coatings and heat treating businesses due to improved economic conditions. Foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted sales by $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the prior year period.
Operating income increased 22% for the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the prior year period. Operating income improved due to increased sales volume in our shot peening division, favorable sales mix in our coatings division, and general administrative cost reduction programs. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted operating income for the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to the prior year period.
2006 Management Guidance
For the full year 2006, management expects to achieve total revenues to be in the range of $1.225 billion and $1.250 billion, an increase of 8 to 10 percent over 2005. We anticipate operating income in the range of $155 million to $162 million, including $5 million of pension expense, which is a 12 to 17 percent increase over 2005. We are forecasting earnings per share on a pre-split basis between $3.60 and $3.80 per fully diluted share, or 5 to 10 percent EPS growth. Our EPS guidance assumes an average of 22.5 million shares outstanding. In addition, we are expecting free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, to be between $65 million and $70 million in 2006.
Mr. Benante concluded, “In 2005, we continued to demonstrate our ability to generate long-term shareholder value by growing our sales and earnings. Over the past several years, our operating income has been growing faster than our sales while we executed a very active, yet disciplined, acquisition program. Our strong performance in 2005 once again demonstrates our ability to execute our strategy and achieve our financial targets. Our successful growth is the result of our diversification and ability to deliver the high performance, technologically advanced products for which Curtiss-Wright is world renowned. We continue to experience increasing demand for our new technologies, many of which are only at the beginning of their life cycles, which should continue to provide strong returns to our shareholders into the future. Our diversification strategy, the continued successful integration of our acquisitions, and ongoing emphasis on technology should continue to generate growth opportunities in each of our three business segments in 2006 and beyond.”
