“We are pleased with the strong results in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from both the diversified industrial and aerospace markets,” said Dr. Michael J. Hartnett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to see strong demand in our core industrial markets, including OEM, and we are increasing our production rates to support the increased demand we are seeing in this sector. Relative to the aerospace markets, momentum continues to build following several quarters of sequential growth and we are planning for increased demand in the coming quarters.”
First Quarter Results
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $93.3 million, an increase of 13.3% from $82.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The increase in net sales was mainly the result of an 11.9% increase in industrial sales driven by strong orders in construction and mining, semiconductor, and the general industrial markets and a 15.0% increase in aerospace and defense driven by commercial aircraft build rates and the aerospace aftermarket. Gross margin for the first quarter was $31.8 million compared to $26.3 million for the same period last year. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 34.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 31.9% for the same period last year.
SG&A for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $14.5 million, an increase of $2.0 million over the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A was 15.6% compared to 15.2% for the same period last year.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2012 other, net consisted of $0.4 million of amortization of intangibles offset by miscellaneous income of $0.1 million. For the same period last year, other, net consisted of a net gain of $1.1 million on the sale of assets offset by $0.3 million of amortization of intangibles, $0.4 million of bad debt expenses, and $0.1 million of other expenses.
Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $17.0 million, an increase of 21.1% compared to operating income of $14.0 million for the same period last year. As a percentage of net sales, operating income was 18.2% compared to 17.1% for the same period last year.

Our effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was 34.5% compared to 31.8% for the same period last year. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of last year includes a $0.5 million benefit due to the reversal of unrecognized tax benefits associated with the conclusion of the Company’s IRS audit.
Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 18.2% to $10.7 million compared to $9.1 million for the same period last year.
