"European and Asian sales were both up over 20% in the second quarter and contributed more than 60% to Sun's total growth for the period," reported Allen Carlson, Sun CEO and president. "The North American rebound we commented on early in the year continued to gain strength last quarter and domestic sales were up 13.5% compared to last year." "Profitability continued to benefit from the gross margin leverage resulting from the incremental sales volume," added Carlson. "We are, however, beginning to experience rising material input costs, as well as increasing utility and freight costs. Effective October 1, 2008, Sun will implement an across the board price increase that is expected to have a net effect of approximately 3%." "Sales for the first half of 2008 were up 19%. Demand for Sun products has outpaced the industry for several years and remains strong. We have established the fundamentals that will allow us to continue to grow, gain market share, and outpace the industry," affirmed Carlson. Outlook "Sun's products are used in diversified equipment markets around the globe," stated Carlson. "Many of these markets, such as mining and energy, remain strong and demand is high. In other more obvious markets, such as equipment used in residential and commercial construction, we have begun to see some softening." "The diversity of our end markets, both geographically and the segments we participate in, is pivotal to maintaining our growth," concluded Carlson. 2008 third quarter sales are estimated to be approximately $45 million, a 9% increase over last year. Third quarter earnings per share are estimated to be between $0.35 and $0.37 per share, compared to $0.32 per share last year. EPS estimates for the third quarter include a charge of $775K for U.S. income taxes due on the repatriation of $6 million from Sun Germany in July 2008.
