EnPro Industries Announces Third Quarter 2011 Results
Sales in the Sealing Products segment improved by 75% over the third quarter of 2010. Acquisitions contributed $41.7 million to the segment's sales and accounted for 51 points of the segment's sales growth. Organic growth in the segment's core markets accounted for 21 points of the year-over-year improvement in sales while three points came from favorable foreign exchange. The segment's profits improved by 45% as all businesses in the segment reported increases and acquisitions made a contribution, but segment margins declined, primarily because of investments related to sales growth and moderately higher material costs, as well as acquisition-related expenses. Product mix also contributed to the decline in margins as both Stemco and the Technetics Group pursue growth strategies aligned with deeper penetration of original equipment markets.
Engineered Products Segment
In the Engineered Products segment, sales improved by 33% over the third quarter of 2010. Sales grew 14 points or $10.1 million from acquisitions, organic improvements in the segment's markets contributed 12 points of growth and favorable foreign exchange created seven points of growth. Segment profits more than doubled and profit margins improved as both GGB and CPI benefited from increased volumes and improved pricing compared to a year ago; acquisitions did not make a contribution to segment profits in the quarter.
Engine Products and Services Segment
In the third quarter of 2011, Engine Products and Services segment sales increased 53% over the third quarter of 2010. Sales benefited from higher engine shipments and the transition to percentage of completion accounting on new engine contracts, but those benefits were partially offset by lower sales of aftermarket parts and services. Fairbanks Morse Engine shipped six engines in the third quarter of 2011 compared with one engine in the third quarter of 2010 and recognized sales of $3.3 million as a result of percentage of completion in accounting. However, parts and service sales declined significantly from the third quarter of 2010, when repairs to engines on a class of U.S. Navy ships created unusually strong aftermarket demand.
The segment's profits and profit margins were affected by a shift in the product mix to lower margin engine sales as well as by the combined effect of several items. These included a warranty provision for an issue related to engines supplied to a U.S. Navy shipbuilding program over the past several years; a loss provision on a contract related to Fairbanks Morse's nuclear power strategy, including investments made to sustain FME's position in the nuclear power generation market prior to the Fukushima disaster; and reimbursement of costs upon the cancellation of the South Texas Nuclear Project. The net reduction to segment income from these items was $2.1 million.
Garlock Sealing Technologies
GST and its subsidiaries reported an increase in third party sales of 14% from the third quarter of 2010 as demand grew from industrial markets in the United States. GST's profits improved as volumes increased, but profit margins declined slightly as improvements in pricing only partially offset increases in cost and a $1 million increase to its environmental accrual. Measures of GST's profitability, including adjusted net income, do not reflect expenses of about $3.9 million incurred in connection with the asbestos claims resolution process.
Cash Flows
EnPro's cash balance stood at $22.9 million at September 30, 2011, a reduction of $196.3 million from December 31, 2010. The cash balance at September 30 reflects an investment of $228.2 million to complete acquisitions during 2011. Operating activities generated $32.6 million in cash during the first nine months of 2011 as volumes increased. Operating activities generated cash of $19.1 million in the first nine months of 2010, after net outflows of $3.8 million for asbestos-related claims and expenses. GST completed the first nine months of 2011 with a cash balance of $120.1 million, compared to a balance of $87.1 million at the end of 2010.
Outlook
For the fourth quarter of 2011, EnPro expects sales to improve over the fourth quarter of 2010 as acquisitions completed in 2011 contribute sales of about $50 million. However, sales are also likely to reflect typical fourth quarter seasonality in the Sealing Products and Engineered Products segments and a sequential decrease in engine shipments in the Engine Products and Services segment. The company expects segment profit margins in the fourth quarter to be in line with the levels of the fourth quarter of 2010, reflecting activity levels, acquisition related expenses and the effect of recent acquisitions on the profitability of the company's product mix.
"We have made significant progress towards our long-term goals so far in 2011," said Macadam. "Acquisitions have expanded our presence in very attractive markets, brought us new products and new platforms for growth. We're very excited about where we stand as we enter the last quarter of the year, and we look forward to increasing the benefits we expect to capture from the execution of our strategy in 2012 and beyond."

Deconsolidation of Garlock Sealing Technologies
Results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 reflect the deconsolidation of Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC (GST) and its subsidiaries, effective June 5, 2010, when GST filed a voluntary petition to begin an asbestos claims resolution process intended to permanently resolve all current and future asbestos claims against it under Section 524(g) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Deconsolidation is required by generally accepted accounting standards, which do not permit the restatement of results of prior periods to reflect the deconsolidation. However, to aid in comparisons of year-over-year data, the company has attached a schedule to this press release showing key operating measures for both EnPro and GST on a pro forma basis. The schedule presents results for the third quarters and first nine months of 2011 and 2010 as if the deconsolidation of GST had occurred on January 1, 2010.
