CLEVELAND, January 20, 2011 – Parker Hannifin Corporation (NYSE: PH), the global leader in motion and control technologies, today reported record results for the fiscal 2011 second quarter ending December 31, 2010. Fiscal 2011 second quarter sales were $2.9 billion, an increase of 21.7 percent from $2.4 billion in the same quarter a year ago. Net income was $231.8 million an increase of 120.9 percent from $105.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Earnings per diluted share for the quarter were $1.39 compared with $0.64 in last year’s second quarter. Cash flow from operations for the first six months of fiscal 2011 was $408.2 million, or 7.2 percent of sales, compared with cash flow from operations of $606.3 million, or 13.2 percent of sales in the prior year period. Cash flow from operations in the first six months of fiscal 2011 included a $200 million discretionary contribution to the company’s pension plan. Excluding this discretionary contribution, cash flow from operations as a percent of sales was 10.7 percent for the first six months of fiscal 2011.

“Demand levels remain strong across many markets, resulting in a significant increase in sales for the second quarter and increased order levels relative to the prior year period,” said Chairman, CEO and President Don Washkewicz. “We were able to deliver sales increases in every segment, as total organic sales increased 22 percent. Order rates also increased in all segments and we are particularly pleased to see demand levels recover in our aerospace segment.”

Notes on Orders

Orders provide near-term perspective on the company’s outlook, particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future quarterly order rates. However, orders are not in themselves an indication of future performance. All comparisons are at constant currency exchange rates, with the prior year restated to the current-year rates. All exclude acquisitions until they can be reflected in both the numerator and denominator. Aerospace comparisons are rolling 12-month average computations. The total Parker orders number is derived from a weighted average of the year-over-year quarterly percent change in orders for the Industrial North America, Industrial International, and Climate and Industrial Controls segments, and the year-over-year 12-month rolling average of orders for the Aerospace segment.

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 future performance and earnings projections of the company, including its individual segments, may differ materially from current expectations, depending on economic conditions within its mobile, industrial and aerospace markets, and the company’s ability to maintain and achieve anticipated benefits associated with announced realignment activities, strategic initiatives to improve operating margins, actions taken to combat the effects of the current economic environment, and growth, innovation and global diversification initiatives. A change in economic conditions in individual markets may have a particularly volatile effect on segment performance. Among other factors which may affect future performance are: changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers, suppliers or distributors, including delays or cancellations in shipments, disputes regarding contract terms or significant changes in financial condition, and changes in contract cost and revenue estimates for new development programs; uncertainties surrounding timing, successful completion or integration of acquisitions; ability to realize anticipated costs savings from business realignment activities; threats associated with and efforts to combat terrorism; uncertainties surrounding the ultimate resolution of outstanding legal proceedings, including the outcome of any appeals; competitive market conditions and resulting effects on sales and pricing; increases in raw material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing; the company’s ability to manage costs related to insurance and employee retirement and health care benefits; and global economic factors, including manufacturing activity, air travel trends, currency exchange rates, difficulties entering new markets and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation, interest rates and credit availability. The company makes these statements as of the date of this disclosure, and undertakes no obligation to update them unless otherwise required by law.
