Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 were $88.9 million, an increase of 11.4% from $79.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 34.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 31.5% for the same period last year. The increase in gross margin percentage was mainly driven by the current recovery in our industrial and aerospace businesses offset by costs associated with our expansion into large bearing products.  Gross margin as a percentage of net sales, excluding $0.7 million of large bearing expansion costs, was 34.9% compared to 32.3% for the same adjusted period last year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations, as these non-GAAP measures allow investors to better evaluate ongoing business performance. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.  A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures disclosed in the press release with the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the financial table attached to this press release.
