"The global capital goods expansion is strong and Sun's second quarter activity reflects that," commented Allen Carlson, Sun's CEO and president. "Sales were a bit higher than our Q2 estimates and all regions contributed to the top line growth. Earnings were consistent with our strong first quarter results. Gross margin remains high, at 39.6%, as we continue to leverage our manufacturing assets. The U.S. PMI, Sun's primary leading indicator, continued to show growth in July for the 24th month in a row, albeit at a slower rate. This demonstrates to us that the economy is still expanding."
"Product development continues to yield interesting additions to Sun's product line," Carlson continued. "New products, which account for approximately 10% - 12% of sales, provide new and efficient innovative solution possibilities. Sun's brand is built on developing products that help customers create unique solutions for their motion control needs and we continue to meet that challenge."
"In June, the Board declared a 50% stock dividend," stated Carlson. "The new share amounts enhance the trading activity in the marketplace and provide Sun a flexible platform for future financing activities. Coupled with the stock dividend, the Board elected to keep the cash dividend at $0.09 per share on the new shares outstanding, effectively increasing the cash dividend by 50%. We continue to believe that Sun is an attractive and rewarding choice for the investment community."
Outlook
Third quarter 2011 revenues are expected to be approximately $53 million, reflecting what the Company believes is its normal seasonal business pattern. This represents a 39% increase over 2010 third quarter revenue of $38 million.
Earnings per share for the third quarter are estimated to be $0.38 to $0.41, commensurate with sales levels, and compared with $0.23 in the same quarter last year.
