Neal J. Keating, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Stronger performance across our businesses allowed us to end the third quarter with higher sales and profitability than originally anticipated. In our Industrial Distribution segment, organic daily sales increased 3.6% sequentially over the second quarter of 2010 and the acquisitions completed earlier this year are proving to be more accretive than projected. In our Aerospace segment, after resuming production of JPF fuzes in August, we were able to achieve a higher rate of output than anticipated in our outlook and we transitioned to the more profitable Option 6 of the contract. We also achieved record BLACK HAWK cockpit deliveries. Despite the anticipated top line weakness of our aerospace bearing product lines, the strength of our diversified product portfolio allowed us to report an increase in Aerospace sales and maintain flat operating margins, excludin g the charge associated with the resolution of the pricing of the Company’s contract to produce the composite tail rotor pylon (TRP) for the Sikorsky MH-92 helicopter program. Given the improved profitability in Industrial Distribution, we expanded our consolidated operating margin by approximately 250 basis points during the quarter (on a non-GAAP basis). We are encouraged by the underlying trends we are seeing in our businesses and believe these trends coupled with several new contract awards in our Aerospace business during the quarter should allow us to build on this progress."

November 1, 2010
Segment reports follow:
Industrial Distribution segment sales increased 37.0% in the 2010 third quarter to $223.1 million from $162.9 million a year ago. Acquisitions contributed $35.3 million in sales during the quarter. On a sales per sales day* basis, organic sales were up 17.1% over last year’s third quarter (see table on page 5 for additional details regarding the Company’s sales per day performance). Segment operating income for the third quarter of 2010 was $8.5 million, a 150.7% increase from operating income of $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2009. The operating profit margin for the third quarter of 2010 was 3.8% compared to 3.7% in the second quarter of 2010 and 2.1% in the third quarter of 2009.
Industrial Distribution segment sales for the third quarter of 2010 reflect growth from acquisitions made in 2010 and a healthier business environment for the segment compared to the same period in 2009. The improved market conditions were broad based across geographies, customers and end markets. Sales and operating margin were higher on a sequential basis in the third quarter due to the contribution from acquisitions and the better operating environment.
Aerospace segment sales were $136.4 million, an increase of 7.4% from sales of $127.0 million in the third quarter of 2009. The sales increase was primarily attributable to the Joint Programmable Fuze program combined with higher deliveries of BLACK HAWK cockpits and Bell blade components. These increases were partially off-set by anticipated lower sales of bearing product lines and helicopter services and support revenue. Operating income for the third quarter of 2010 was $19.0 million, compared to operating income of $19.9 million in the 2009 third quarter. The current quarter includes a pre-tax charge of $2.0 million, or after-tax $0.05 per diluted share related to the resolution of pricing associated with the TRP 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, and was 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 full year 2010 include:
· | Aerospace segment sales of $480 million to $490 million |
· | Aerospace operating margins of 14.0% to 14.5%, excluding the $2.0 million TRP settlement |
· | Industrial Distribution organic sales growth of 10% to 13% yielding sales in a range of $810 million to $830 million when combined with previously announced acquisitions |
· | Industrial Distribution segment operating margins of 3.3% to 3.5% |
· | Interest expense of approximately $9.8 million (net interest expense will be approximately $3.2 million as a result of the one-time look-back interest benefit) |
· | Fourth quarter corporate expenses of approximately $8.5 million to $9.5 million |

Aerospace expectations do not include sales related to either SH-2G(I) inventory or deployment of the unmanned K-MAX aircraft.
Chief Financial Officer William C. Denninger commented, "Given our stronger than expected third quarter performance, we are increasing our outlook for the full year. The strengthening that we experienced in our Industrial Distribution segment, both organically and in our acquired businesses, provides us with the confidence that we will once again be able to drive significant year-over-year growth in the fourth quarter. In Aerospace, while we expect sales of our bearing product lines to be lower than the prior year, we still expect to generate growth for the segment overall as we deliver a substantial quantity of JPF fuzes in the fourth quarter. With generally favorable underlying market conditions and internal initiatives gaining traction, Kaman is well positioned as we move toward the end of the year and into 2011."
Please see the MD&A section of the company’s Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) concurrently with the issuance of this release for more information on the quarter’s results and various company programs.

Non-GAAP Measures 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 of the Industrial Distribution segment” less sales derived from acquisitions, divided by the number of sales days in the 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 differs. The following table illustrates the calculation of 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 SEC on November 1, 2010 (in thousands, except days):

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 cash flow statement on page 9 (in thousands):

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 on page 8 (in thousands):
