Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 16, 2003
TELEFLEX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2003 RESULTS
REVENUES INCREASED 6% TO $578 MILLION
Plymouth Meeting, PA -- Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE: TFX) today reported that
revenues for the second quarter ended June 29, 2003, were $577.9 million, a 6
percent increase compared to revenues of $546.3 million for the same period last
year. Net income in the quarter was $31.8 million, 5 percent lower than the
comparable period in 2002, and diluted earnings per share were 80 cents.
Revenues in the first six months of 2003 increased 7 percent to $1.12
billion compared to $1.05 billion last year. Net income was $61.1 million in the
first six months compared with $64.0 million for the same period a year ago.
Diluted earnings per share were $1.54 compared with $1.61 per share for the same
period in 2002.
"In the second quarter, Teleflex produced solid revenue growth and
strong cash flow," said Jeffrey P. Black, president and chief executive officer.
"Our Commercial Segment businesses performed well and the Medical Segment
recorded double-digit gains in sales and operating profit. However, Aerospace
Segment sales and earnings declined as we continued to address lower volumes and
weakness in the commercial aerospace and industrial gas turbine markets."
Mr. Black added, "We are positioning ourselves for improved performance
in the Aerospace Segment. The steps we are taking to adjust to market conditions
should provide us with a stronger foundation for long-term growth. Given these
trends and current economic conditions, we anticipate that Teleflex's earnings
for the full year 2003 will be in the range of $3.05 to $3.20 per share."
The Commercial Segment reported sales of $318.2 million for the
quarter, a 9 percent increase over second quarter 2002. Sales increased across
all three Commercial product lines, Automotive, Marine and Industrial.
Automotive sales increased as a result of new products, including increased
sales of shifters and pedal systems and a positive currency impact. Marine sales
overall were up slightly, although unseasonable weather adversely affected sales
of marine aftermarket products. Industrial sales increased primarily as a result
of acquisitions. Overall operating profit for the Commercial Segment increased
compared to the same period last year, generally as a result of higher volumes.
Medical Segment sales for the quarter increased to $129.7 million, a 14
percent increase compared to second quarter 2002. Health Care Supply sales and
profit benefited from increased volume and favorable currency effects. Surgical
Devices sales and profit increased primarily due to an acquisition.
Aerospace Segment sales for the quarter were $130.1 million, an 8
percent decline from the second quarter of 2002. Sales increased in the Repair
Services product line but decreased in each of the other three Aerospace
businesses, Cargo Systems, Manufactured Components, and Industrial Gas Turbine
Services. Operating profit for the Aerospace Segment fell sharply as a result of
pricing pressure and significantly lower volume in the Industrial Gas Turbine
Services product line. Cargo Systems, Manufactured Components, and Repair
Services all generated modest returns.
As previously announced, Teleflex will comment on second quarter 2003
results on a conference call to be held Thursday, July 17th, at 11:15 a.m. (ET).
The call will be archived and available on the company's website,
