CLEVELAND, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Parker Hannifin Corporation today reported a 29-percent increase in fiscal second-quarter net income of $37.6 million, or 32 cents per diluted share, on sales of $1.52 billion for the period ended December 31, 2002. Before five cents per share in previously announced realignment costs (severance and manufacturing relocations) and write-down of an investment in a Japanese joint venture, quarterly earnings were 37 cents per diluted share. Also, a change in the company's tax rate decreased earnings by an additional penny per share. Last year, second-quarter net income was $29.1 million, or 25 cents per diluted share (33 cents before realignment costs and an investment write-down), on sales of $1.44 billion.

"We're in the final stages of our planned realignment activities," said Parker CEO Don Washkewicz. "Our cash flow was strong again this quarter, and working capital and capital expenditures are down materially from two years ago. We remain focused on our 'Win Strategy' initiatives to further enhance our prospects for future growth and profitability."
Working off of backlog, Parker Aerospace recorded an operating margin of 15.5 percent for the quarter, with a 4.5-percent decline in sales. The company noted stability in commercial aviation, but expects its aerospace unit to contend with margin pressure for the foreseeable future.
Both the North American and International Industrial units increased sales and operating income during the second quarter. With help from recent acquisitions and currency, sales were up 29 percent in the company's International Industrial businesses, and the operating margin was 6.0 percent. The North American Industrial margin was 4.1 percent, on a four-percent increase in sales.
In the "Other" segment, sales decreased seven percent after last year's divestiture of a non-core business, while the operating margin improved to 6.3 percent. Included in this segment is Climate and Industrial Controls, which posted higher sales and profits.
Year-to-Date Results
For the first six months of fiscal 2003, the company recorded net income of $98.5 million, or 84 cents per diluted share (90 cents before realignment charges and an investment write-down) on sales of $3.10 billion. Income is up 10 percent over last year's $89.6 million, or 77 cents per diluted share (88 cents excluding realignment costs and an investment write-down), earned on sales of $2.91 billion.
Outlook
"Historically, our post-recession rebound has been very strong. When the industrial recession ends, we're confident the company will be positioned to resume more robust growth and margin improvement," said Washkewicz.
Excluding realignment costs, the company's earnings in the third quarter of fiscal year 2003 are expected to be between 55 and 65 cents per share, while earnings for the full year are expected to range from $2.10 to $2.30 per share.
In addition to providing earnings estimates, Parker advises shareholders to note order trends, for which the company makes a disclosure several business days after the conclusion of each month. This information is available on the company's investor information web site, at www.phstock.com .

Forward-Looking Statements:
Forward-looking statements contained in this and other written and oral reports are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of release, and as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen uncertainties and risks. All statements regarding future performance, earnings projections, events or developments are forward-looking statements. It is possible that the company's future performance and earnings projections may differ materially from current expectations, depending on economic conditions within both its industrial and aerospace markets, and the company's ability to achieve anticipated benefits associated with announced realignment activities and strategic initiatives to improve operating margins. Among the other factors which may affect future performance are: changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers or suppliers, including delays or cancellations in shipments; uncertainties surrounding timing, successful completion and integration of acquisitions; threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism; competitive market conditions and resulting effects on sales and pricing; increases in raw-material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing; and global economic factors, including currency exchange rates, difficulties entering new markets and general economic conditions such as interest rates. In each quarterly earnings report, the company intends to provide a range stating expected earnings per share for the succeeding quarter and full fiscal year, reflecting these ranges as estimates of diluted earnings per share before realignment activities. The company makes these statements as of the date of this disclosure, and while it undertakes no obligation to update them, reserves the right to update its earnings projections for any reason during the quarter, including the occurrence of material events.
