Carlisle Companies Incorporated (NYSE:CSL) reported net sales of
$675.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, an 11%
improvement over net sales of $608.7 million in the fourth quarter
of 2006. Organic sales growth of 4% was due primarily to increased
sales volumes for Construction Materials. The acquisition of
Insulfoam, in April 2007, accounted for $39.4 million, or 6%, of
sales growth in the fourth quarter. The impact of foreign currency
exchange rates on net sales growth was approximately 1% in the
fourth quarter. For the full year ended December 31, 2007, net
sales were $2.88 billion, a 12% increase over net sales of $2.56
billion in 2006. Organic growth of 7% was driven by increased sales
volumes across all reporting segments. The acquisition of Insulfoam
contributed $125.4 million, or 5%, to sales growth as compared to
last year. Net income from continuing operations was $40.9 million,
or $0.66 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2007, an 8%
increase as compared with $38.0 million, or $0.61 per diluted
share, in the fourth quarter of 2006. Income from continuing
operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $213.0 million,
or $3.40 per diluted share, as compared to $178.8 million, or $2.87
per diluted share, reported in 2006. Income from continuing
operations for the full year of 2007 included an after-tax gain of
$29.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, on the sale of the
Company�s interest in the European roofing company, Icopal, on July
31, 2007. David A. Roberts, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer, commented, �2007 was another successful year for Carlisle
with fourth quarter and full year sales growth in all of our
segments. Income from continuing operations of $2.92 per diluted
share, excluding the gain from the sale of Icopal of $0.48 per
diluted share, exceeded our guidance range of $2.80 to $2.85 per
diluted share. Our attention is now turned to the opportunities
ahead. We have established a five year average sales growth target
of 10% and have�set our sights on achieving a 15% operating income
margin by 2012. We plan to reach these goals through a combination
of operating excellence and strategic growth.� Roberts also
commented that �While it is early in the year, we expect organic
sales growth to be at least equal to 2007, and operating margin to
improve over the prior year.� �To help reach our goals, we are
announcing key management changes that will be critical in
achieving our long-term objectives,� continued Roberts. �Carlisle
will be leveraging some of its existing management team in new
responsibilities while adding to its management bench strength.
First, Kevin Forster, formerly President, Carlisle Asia Pacific,
will assume responsibilities as Group President for the Specialty
Products Group which now includes the Company�s braking businesses,
power transmission belt business and refrigerated truck body
business. Mike Popielec will serve as Group President of the
Applied Technologies Group which includes Carlisle�s foodservice
and wire and cable businesses, key growth platforms for the
Company. Mike�s focus will be on growth opportunities for these
businesses as well as the integration of the recent acquisition of
Dinex that is now part of the foodservice business. John Altmeyer
will continue as Group President for the Construction Materials
Group.� �I am pleased to announce that Fred Sutter has joined
Carlisle as Group President of the Transportation Products Group
managing the tire and wheel business and the specialty trailer
business,� stated Roberts. Sutter joins Carlisle from Graco Inc.
where he most recently served as Vice President and General Manager
of the Applied Fluid Technologies Division. During his tenure at
Graco, Sutter also served as Vice President of the Industrial and
Automotive Equipment Divisions and as Vice President, Asia Pacific
and Latin America. Sutter joined Graco from the Emerson Process
Group, a division of Emerson Electric. Sutter holds a B.S. in
Electrical Engineering from the University of Minnesota.� Roberts
also noted, �Carlisle is also very fortunate to have Chris Koch
join the Company as President, Carlisle Asia Pacific. Koch most
recently served as Vice President and General Manager, Asia Pacific
for Graco Inc. While at Graco, he held various positions including
Vice President, Lubrication Equipment Division. Prior to joining
Graco, Koch served as President of TEC, Inc., a subsidiary of H.B.
Fuller. He holds a B.A. in Economics from Macalester College and a
M.B.A. from the University of Minnesota.� �Both Fred and Chris are
excellent additions to the Carlisle management team,� said Roberts.
�I was fortunate to have worked with Fred and Chris at Graco. I
know firsthand the talent and experience they bring to their new
roles. I am confident that with the addition of Chris and Fred to
our already strong management team, we will drive the Company
towards achievement of our long-term goals.� Roberts concluded his
comments by noting �These organizational changes represent how we
will manage the Carlisle businesses going forward. Our current
financial reporting segments will be reviewed and future changes in
our segmentation may be necessary to reflect the Company�s
management structure.� Below is an overview of the new operations
management structure: Carlisle Construction Materials Group, John
Altmeyer, Group President � Carlisle Transportation Products Group,
Fred Sutter, Group President Carlisle Tire & Wheel Trail King �
Carlisle Applied Technologies Group, Mike Popielec, Group President

Products Group, Kevin Forster, Group President Motion Control

Koch, Regional President Construction Materials: Growth in
Insulation and TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) roofing systems
volumes contributed to net sales of $339.0 million in the fourth
quarter 2007. The 22% increase over 2006 net sales of $278.6
million also included $39.4 million of net sales from the Insulfoam
acquisition. Net sales for the full year of 2007 were up 23% from
2006 on higher insulation and TPO sales. The acquisition of
Insulfoam contributed $125.4 million in the current year. Earnings
before interest and income taxes (�EBIT�) of $43.3 million in the
fourth quarter of 2007 were 15% higher than in the same period
2006. EBIT for the year ended 2007 was $240.6 million, compared to
$175.9 million in 2006, and included a $48.5 million gain on the
sale of Icopal. Earnings margins for the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 2007 were impacted by increased competition.
Industrial Components: Net sales of $167.7 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2007 increased 4% compared with net sales
of $161.6 million in 2006, primarily reflecting increased sales in
the commercial lawn and garden market, offsetting lower sales in
the high-speed trailer market. Sales for the year ended December
31, 2007 were $799.9 million, a 5% increase compared to the prior
year reflecting improvements in the consumer and commercial power
equipment and replacement markets, which more than offset lower
sales of power transmission belts, high-speed trailer tires and
styled wheels. EBIT of $8.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007
was slightly below EBIT of $8.8 million for the same period of 2006
partially resulting from increased raw material costs. For the full
year of 2007, EBIT was $58.9 million as compared with $59.9 million
for 2006. The 2% decrease is due primarily to lower sales and
earnings for the power transmission belts business. Specialty
Products: The Company�s braking business recorded net sales of
$40.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to net
sales of $40.1 million for the same period in 2006. Net sales for
the year ended December 31, 2007 were $181.4 million, a 4% increase
over net sales of $174.5 million for the full year 2006. For 2007,
sales in the off-highway business improved 8% over the prior year
on increased demand in the mining and heavy construction markets.
On-highway brake sales were down year-over-year, impacted by the
2006 pre-buy of heavy-duty trucks associated with certain
regulatory emission changes. Fourth quarter 2007 EBIT of $0.6
million compared favorably with the loss of $0.8 million in the
fourth quarter 2006, reflecting improved performance in the
off-highway business. Full year 2007 EBIT of $5.1 million was lower
than EBIT of $9.7 million in 2006. Results for the year ended
December 31, 2007 reflected pre-tax charges of $4.6 million related
to asset impairment and restructuring costs, net of a $1.2 million
gain on the sale of a closed facility. Also included in the 2007
full year results was a $4.7 million charge related to the facility
and management transition of an acquired operation in Wales, U.K.
Transportation Products: Fourth quarter 2007 net sales of $48.4
million increased 7% over net sales of $45.4 million in the same
period of 2006. Net sales for the full year ended December 31, 2007
were $189.8 million, a 4% increase as compared to $183.0 million
for 2006. Fourth quarter 2007 EBIT of $7.2 million increased 8% as
compared with 2006 EBIT of $6.7 million. For the full year, EBIT
was $28.3 million in 2007, down 8% from 2006. Increased labor and
overhead costs associated with recent capacity expansion at the
Company�s new Fargo, North Dakota and expanded Brookville,
Pennsylvania facilities and increased raw material costs
contributed to the earnings decline. General Industry: Net sales of
$80.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 declined 3% from 2006
fourth quarter net sales of $83.0 million as increased sales in the
foodservice and high-performance wire and cable businesses were
more than offset by lower sales in the refrigerated truck bodies
business. EBIT in the fourth quarter of 2007 of $9.0 million
increased 7% over $8.4 million for the same period of 2006. The
Company successfully managed the negative impact on earnings of the
refrigerated truck bodies sales decline through cost containment.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, net sales were $339.9
million, a 4% increase over net sales of $326.2 million in 2006. A
20% net sales improvement in the wire and cable business,
reflecting increased demand in the aerospace market, and a 6%
increase in the foodservice business more than offset the
previously mentioned decline in the refrigerated truck bodies
business. The strong sales performance for the wire and cable and
foodservice businesses contributed to EBIT of $38.2 million for the
year ended 2007, a 27% improvement over the prior year. Results for
2006 included a $2.5 million charge related to an arbitration
proceeding concerning the termination of a supply agreement in the
wire and cable business. Corporate Corporate pre-tax expense of
$41.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared to
pre-tax expense of $28.5 million for the same period in 2006. The
increase in expense included $6.6 million of costs associated with
the change in executive management in the second quarter 2007,
charges of $3.1 million associated with the sale of Icopal, and
$1.1 million in expenses related to a terminated acquisition
initiative. Pre-tax expense in 2006 was reduced by $2.0 million as
a result of the favorable resolution of certain legal matters.
Discontinued Operations Income from discontinued operations for the
three and twelve months ended December 31, 2006 included an
after-tax gain of $34.6 million on the sale of the Carlisle Systems
& Equipment businesses, which included Carlisle Process Systems
and the Walker Group. Net Income Net income for the fourth quarter
2007 was $42.9 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared to
$78.1 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter
2006. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $215.6
million, or $3.44 per diluted share, which compared to $217.1
million, or $3.49 per diluted share, for the year ended December
31, 2006. Included in the full year 2007 results was an after-tax
gain of $29.9 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, on the sale of
Icopal. The gain on the sale of Icopal was partially offset by
after-tax charges of $4.5 million associated with the change in
management, $3.2 million for plant closure and asset impairment
charges for the on-highway brake business, and $4.7 million for
facility and management transition for the off-highway brake
business. Results for the three and twelve months ended December
31, 2006 included an after-tax gain of $34.6 million, or $0.56 per
diluted share, on the sale of the Carlisle Systems & Equipment
businesses. Cash Flow Cash flow provided by operations of $259.3
million for the year ended December 31, 2007 compared favorably
with cash provided by operations of $19.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 2006. Cash used from working capital was $1.9
million in 2007, which compared to $87.8 million in 2006. Operating
cash flow for 2006 reflected a decrease of $137.9 million in the
utilization of the Company�s securitization program. In the third
quarter of 2007, the Company effectively terminated its existing
accounts receivable securitization facility and subsequently
executed a new agreement whereby the receivables and related debt
are included on the balance sheet. Cash flows related to the
securitization facility have been reported as a financing activity
in 2007. Cash used in investing activities was $134.1 million in
2007 compared to cash provided from investing activities of $11.1
million in 2006. Cash used for acquisitions of $189.7 million in
2007 included the purchase of Insulfoam and the acquisitions of
manufacturing operations in China for the tire and wheel and
high-performance wire and cable businesses. Cash from the sale of
investments, property and equipment included $114.8 million from
the sale of Icopal and $15.7 million received for notes and accrued
interest owed to the Company by Icopal. Proceeds from the sale of
investments, property and equipment in 2006 include $99.5 million
from the sale of the Carlisle Systems & Equipment businesses.
Capital expenditures of $82.5 million in 2007 compared with $95.5
million in 2006. Net cash flow used in financing activities of
$182.4 million in 2007 included the retirement of $150.0 million in
senior notes and the repurchase of 1.5 million shares of the
Company�s stock for $60.0 million. Cash provided by financing
activities of $74.5 million in 2006 included proceeds from the
issuance of $150.0 million in senior notes. Conference Call and
