Exhibit 99.1
Coltec Industries' fourth quarter earnings per share increased 15%; cash flow
for the year reaches $88 million
CHARLOTTE, N.C., JANUARY 21, 1999 -- For the fourth quarter, Coltec Industries
Inc (NYSE: COT) reported $.45 in earnings per share, an increase of 15%,
compared to $.39 in the year-ago quarter. Net income in the quarter was $30
million versus $26 million last year, and sales increased 4% to $375 million.
Free cash flow from operations was $36 million, which helped drive total year
free cash flow from operations to $88 million, exceeding Coltec's stated goal of
$70 million. These results marked the tenth consecutive quarter in which Coltec
achieved growth in operating earnings in excess of its 15% target.
For the year, net earnings from operations on a per-share basis increased 18% to
a record $1.68 per share versus $1.42 per share in 1997. Operating income in
1998 was $230 million versus $198 million in the prior-year period. Net earnings
and operating income figures for the current year exclude a one-time gain and
charges in the second quarter. Sales for 1998 increased 14% to approximately
$1.5 billion from $1.3 billion in 1997.
In commenting on the year's results, John W. Guffey, Jr., Coltec's chairman and
chief executive officer, said, "1998 was another year of record performance at
Coltec Industries. We continued to achieve earnings growth in excess of 15%
while maintaining superior operating margins. Our cash flow performance for the
year improved over $100 million compared to 1997. Now that our investments in
growth are behind us and generating the returns we expected, we can look forward
to continued high operating cash flow over the next few years."

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Aerospace Segment, fourth quarter revenues increased 16% and operating
income rose 22%. Every business contributed to higher profits. These results
reflect increased shipments of fully integrated landing gear systems for
Boeing's Next-Generation 737, 757, and 777 aircraft and higher operating profits
and margins at the landing gear overhaul and maintenance business. The engine
component businesses achieved strong growth and improved margins, reflecting
increased demand for regional jets, higher productivity, and the positive impact
of new programs and mix changes.
In the Industrial Segment, sales and earnings in the quarter, excluding Holley,
increased 5% and 2%, respectively, including the contribution of several
businesses acquired earlier this year. Slower economic growth in key markets,
including pulp and paper, chemicals, refining, and steel, along with the strong
U.S. dollar adversely affected sales and profits. As reported, sales and profits
were down compared to last year's fourth quarter, which included Holley.
This press release contains various forward-looking statements. For a discussion
of various factors that may cause Coltec's actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in such forward-looking statements, see Coltec's 1997
Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as Coltec's 1998 filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Coltec Industries is a leading producer of landing gear, industrial sealing
systems, and other highly engineered products for aerospace and industrial
applications. The company, which has its headquarters in Charlotte, North
Carolina, expects to complete its merger with The BFGoodrich Company by late
March/early April of this year. The new company will have revenues approaching
$6 billion and leading positions in aerospace systems, performance materials,
and industrial products.
