Opportunistically pursue both complementary “bolt-on” acquisitions and larger, free standing businesses that meet our qualitative criteria within the industrial sector while selectively returning free cash flow to our shareholders.
Financial Performance And Business Update:
Recent Financial Performance:
2009 recessionary troughs were meaningfully higher than those reached in prior downturn due to revenue growth and recent structural cost initiatives;
Margins, at both the recent recessionary trough and current point in recovery, compare favorably to historical precedents on a significantly broader and larger revenue base;
2010 performance reflected meaningful improvement due to improved volume and enhanced operating leverage;
Cost reductions, both cyclical and structural, during past two years should continue to provide operating leverage through next full growth cycle;
2010 reflected all-time record operating cash flow from operations and free cash flow from operations.
General Market Update:
Industrial businesses, particularly industrial machinery, medical and semiconductor equipment, have seen continued improvement in both shipments and orders;
Military business will see year-over-year moderation from “winding down” of key program as the year progresses;
Wind orders and shipments will continue to be impacted by the downturn in electricity demand and ongoing uncertainty over a national Renewable
Electricity Standard or carbon legislation;
