Carlisle Companies Incorporated (NYSE:CSL) reported net sales from continuing operations of $665.9 million for the third quarter of 2010, a 10% increase from net sales of $604.2 million in the third quarter of 2009. Organic sales increased by 7.9% from the same quarter in the prior year. The Interconnect Technologies segment’s acquisition of Jerrik and Electronic Cable Specialists (ECS) and the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment’s acquisition of Japan Power Brake contributed $14.0 million in sales, or 2.3%, in the third quarter of 2010.

Income from continuing operations was $46.8 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, in the third quarter 2010 compared with $47.1 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2009. In the third quarter of 2010, income was positively impacted by a reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate, higher sales volumes, efficiencies from the Carlisle Operating System and selling price increases. Offsetting these positive impacts were higher raw material costs primarily in the Construction Materials and Engineered Transportation Solutions segments.

Comment

David A. Roberts, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the third quarter of 2010, all of our business segments achieved organic growth, contributing to an overall organic growth rate of 7.9%. Although still experiencing higher raw material cost levels versus the prior year, EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Income Taxes) margins of 10% in the third quarter of 2010 reflect continued emphasis on the Carlisle Operating System and realization of pricing actions taken by our businesses to address rising raw material costs.

“The consolidation of our US tire manufacturing operations into our Jackson, Tennessee facility is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2010 and will provide a foundation for margin growth in the Engineered Transportation Solutions segment in 2011. During the third quarter of 2010, we incurred costs of $3.4 million related to company-wide consolidation and plant closures. We estimate an additional $6 million in related costs for the fourth quarter of 2010. We expect to achieve company-wide savings from our consolidation efforts of approximately $7 million in 2010, with $3 million anticipated in the fourth quarter, and an additional $14 million in 2011.”

Roberts continued, “We have recently taken several important actions directed towards our long-term goals to reach $5 billion in revenue, 15% EBIT margins, expand globally and produce strong free cash flow. On October 4, 2010, we completed the sale of Trail King, our non-core specialty trailer business, for proceeds of $35 million plus a $5 million earn-out potential. This divestiture enables Carlisle management to focus on growing our core businesses and provides additional capital which we intend to allocate to investments that will generate greater returns for our shareholders. Operating results for Trail King are now being reported in Discontinued Operations.

“On October 15, 2010, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Hawk Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of friction materials for brakes, clutches and transmissions, for total consideration of approximately $413 million. As indicated in our related announcement, the acquisition of Hawk provides an excellent growth opportunity in our industrial brake and friction product line. We expect this acquisition to close by the end of 2010 and to be accretive in 2011. We estimate costs associated with the transaction and the change in control will be between $9 and $12 million during the fourth quarter of 2010.

“With a debt to capital ratio of 11% and available borrowings of $469 million under our revolving credit facility, we are well-positioned to carry out the Hawk acquisition and continue to maintain our focus on growth through bolt-on acquisitions and new product development.”

Roberts concluded by stating, “We continue to plan for revenue growth for full year 2010 in our core operating segments but remain cautious on our outlook for margin improvement for the remainder of the year given current raw material cost levels and the general economic environment. We will continue to respond with pricing actions and pursuit of operating improvements through the Carlisle Operating System.”

Segment Results

Construction Materials: Third quarter 2010 net sales of $354.8 million increased by 4.3% from net sales of $340.1 million; EBIT declined 10% to $54.1 million from $60.4 million for the same period in 2009. The increase in sales primarily reflected higher demand for re-roofing applications. The Company achieved an EBIT margin of 15.2% for the third quarter 2010 partially attributable to the realization of efficiency gains from the Carlisle Operating System and other manufacturing improvements. This compared to margin of 17.8% for prior year period, which reflected a period of significantly lower raw material price levels. Selling prices during the third quarter 2010 increased from the second quarter of 2010 but declined slightly when compared to the same quarter of the prior year.

Engineered Transportation Solutions: Third quarter 2010 net sales of $186.0 million increased by 17% compared to net sales of $158.3 million in the same prior year period. EBIT of $8.4 million increased by 11% compared to EBIT of $7.6 million for the same period in 2009. Sales from the acquisition of Japan Power Brake contributed $2.9 million to net sales in the third quarter of 2010. The segment achieved double digit organic sales growth in all of its major product lines, most notably 48% in its industrial brake and friction product line and, within its power sports product line, ATV sales growth of 28%. During the third quarter of 2010, EBIT margin remained relatively flat at 4.5% when compared to 4.8% for the third quarter of 2009. EBIT was negatively impacted by higher costs for natural and synthetic rubber and steel, which were significantly offset by increased selling prices during the third quarter. Plant restructuring expenses in the third quarter of 2010 of $3.3 million compared to restructuring expenses of $3.4 million for the same period in 2009.

Interconnect Technologies: Third quarter 2010 net sales of $61.4 million increased by 43% from net sales of $43.1 million, and EBIT increased 67% to $8.2 million from $4.9 million for the same period in 2009. The acquisition of Jerrik and ECS contributed $11.1 million, or 26%, to net sales in the third quarter 2010. Organic sales increased by 17% in the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to growth within the aerospace and RF microwave markets. EBIT margin increased to 13.4% in the third quarter of 2010 from 11.4% in the third quarter of 2009 as a result of organic sales growth and cost efficiencies driven by the Carlisle Operating System.

FoodService Products: Third quarter 2010 net sales increased by 1.6% to $63.7 million compared to net sales of $62.7 million in the prior year period. EBIT declined 25% to $6.3 million from $8.4 million for the same period in 2009. Despite continued softness in restaurant traffic, sales demand in the foodservice market was higher on increased inventory replenishment orders. This increase was offset by lower demand in the healthcare foodservice market. EBIT margin decreased to 9.9% in the third quarter of 2010 from 13.4% in the third quarter of 2009, due primarily to higher transportation costs and higher raw material costs, which were relatively level with the second quarter of 2010, but higher in comparison to the prior year period.

Corporate Expense

Corporate expense increased from $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2009 to $10.5 million for the third quarter of 2010. The increase primarily reflects higher costs related to the ramp-up of sales and sourcing support service in the Asia Pacific region, which has seen increased sales of 81% during the first nine months of 2010 versus the prior year period. Corporate expense was also impacted by higher foreign currency exchange rate losses incurred during the third quarter of 2010 as compared to the third quarter of 2009.

Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations of $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared with a loss of $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2009. Income from discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2010 reflects higher operating earnings from the specialty trailer business, Trail King, which was sold on October 4, 2010 and classified as held for sale in the balance sheet at September 30, 2010. The specialty trailer business’ related results of operations for all periods have been reclassified into Discontinued Operations. During the third quarter 2009, the specialty trailer business operated at a loss.

Net Income

Net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $50.5 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to net income of $46.6 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2009. Third quarter 2010 net income was positively impacted by a reduction in the effective tax rate, higher sales volumes, operating improvements from the Carlisle Operating System and income from Discontinued Operations. These positive impacts were partially offset by higher raw material costs.

Year-to-Date

Net sales of $1.90 billion for the first nine months of 2010 increased 10% as compared with $1.73 billion for the same period in 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, organic sales increased by 6.6% from the prior year period, with organic growth generated by all business segments with the exception of FoodService Products. Acquisitions in the Interconnect Technologies and Engineered Transportation Solutions segments contributed $45.9 million, or 2.6%, in sales in the first nine months of 2010 as compared to the same period of 2009.

Income from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2010 of $108.7 million, or $1.75 per diluted share, decreased 9% as compared with $119.2 million, or $1.93 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009. 2010 EBIT year-to-date declined from 2009 due to a gain of $27.0 million recorded in 2009 from fire insurance recoveries, higher raw material costs experienced in 2010 and reduction in selling prices, which have been increasing throughout 2010, but have declined on a year-over-year basis. Partially offsetting these impacts were higher sales volumes and efficiencies gained through the Carlisle Operating System. Plant and corporate restructuring charges of $10.3 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to charges of $14.7 million in the first nine months of 2009.

Income from Discontinued Operations of $4.7 million in first nine months of 2010 compared to a Loss from Discontinued Operations of $10.5 million in the first nine months of 2009.

Net income for the first nine months of 2010 was $113.4 million, or $1.83 per diluted share. Net income for the first nine months of 2009 was $108.7 million, or $1.76 per diluted share.

Cash flow provided by operating activities of $62.4 million for the first nine months of 2010 compared with $333.4 million for the same period in 2009. Cash used for working capital and other assets and liabilities of $102.3 million for the first nine months of 2010 primarily reflected an increase in receivables and inventory due to higher sales activity, as compared to cash provided by working capital and other assets and liabilities of $178.3 million for the first nine months of 2009. For the first nine months of 2010, average working capital (defined as the average of the quarter end balances of receivables, plus inventory less accounts payable) as a percentage of annualized sales (defined as year-to-date net sales calculated on an annualized basis) was 21.6%, as compared to a percentage of 25.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Capital expenditures were $46.8 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to capital expenditures of $34.9 million in the first nine months of 2009. The increase in capital expenditures primarily reflects the Company’s consolidation of its US tire manufacturing operations into a new facility in Jackson, Tennessee, expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2010.
