Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation plc
(NYSE:ETN) today announced record quarterly sales and operating
profits, driven by the acquisition of Cooper Industries. Sales in
the first quarter of 2013 were $5.31 billion, 34 percent above the
same period in 2012. Operating earnings for the first quarter of
2013, excluding charges of $22 million to integrate recent
acquisitions, were a record $400 million, an increase of 28 percent
over 2012. Operating earnings per share, which exclude charges of
$0.05 per share to integrate recent acquisitions, were $0.84 for
the first quarter of 2013. This result is a decrease of 9 percent
from the first quarter of 2012, reflecting the shares issued as
part of the acquisition of Cooper Industries and the purchase price
accounting charges resulting from the transaction.
Alexander M. Cutler, Eaton chairman and chief executive officer,
said, “Our first quarter results are a solid start to the year,
coming in above the high end of our guidance despite markets being
slightly weaker than our expectations. We were able to generate
attractive operating margins, reflecting our enhanced portfolio as
a result of the Cooper Industries acquisition and our continued
focus on productivity improvements.
“Our 34 percent sales growth in the first quarter consisted of a
decline of 5 percent in core sales and a 1 percent decline from
currency translation, offset by 40 percent growth from
acquisitions,” said Cutler. “Our markets in the first quarter were
lower than a year ago, reflecting a continuation of the sluggish
economic conditions experienced in many parts of the world during
the second half of 2012.
“We entered 2013 expecting it would be a year of subpar global
economic growth, leading to approximately 2 to 3 percent growth in
our markets,” said Cutler. “We continue to believe our markets will
grow 2 to 3 percent in 2013, most likely toward the lower end of
the range.
“We anticipate operating earnings per share for the second
quarter of 2013, which exclude an estimated $25 million of charges
to integrate our recent acquisitions, to be between $1.05 and
$1.15,” said Cutler. “There are two primary drivers of the expected
increase in second quarter operating earnings per share over the
first quarter: first, seasonally higher volumes, since our sales in
the second quarter are typically 5 to 10 percent higher, and
second, the absence of purchase price inventory expense in the
second quarter related to the Cooper Industries acquisition.
“We are maintaining our guidance for full year operating
earnings per share of between $4.05 and $4.45,” said Cutler. “2013
is a year in which our results will depend more on our execution
than on global growth. We are off to a great start this year, with
our execution driving stronger than expected results in the first
quarter. Based on the midpoint of our guidance, our operating
earnings per share in 2013 will grow 8 percent.”
Business Segment Results
Sales for the Electrical Products segment were $1.7 billion, up
87 percent over 2012, reflecting the impact of the Cooper
Industries acquisition. Operating profits were $241 million.
Excluding acquisition integration charges of $3 million during the
quarter, operating profits were $244 million, up 76 percent over
the first quarter of 2012.
“Our bookings in the Electrical Products segment were down 3
percent from the combined bookings of Eaton and legacy Cooper in
the first quarter a year ago,” said Cutler.
Sales for the Electrical Systems and Services segment were $1.5
billion, up 79 percent over the first quarter of 2012, reflecting
the impact of the Cooper Industries acquisition. The segment
reported operating profits of $210 million. Excluding acquisition
integration charges of $5 million during the quarter, operating
profits were $215 million, up 176 percent. Combined bookings in the
quarter increased 2 percent compared to the first quarter of
2012.
“In both of our Electrical segments, our end markets were
strongest in the U.S., the Middle East and Latin America, with
mixed conditions in Asia Pacific and weakness in Europe,” said
Cutler. “We believe sales will improve during the balance of the
year, in line with the normal seasonal pattern of demand.”
Hydraulics segment sales were $756 million, an increase of 3
percent compared to the first quarter of 2012. Sales growth was
driven by revenues from acquisitions completed in 2012, which
accounted for 13 percent growth, offset by a 9 percent decline in
core sales and a 1 percent decline from currency translation.
Operating profits in the first quarter were $78 million. Excluding
acquisition integration charges of $12 million, operating profits
were $90 million, a decline of 18 percent.
“The hydraulics markets in the first quarter grew modestly
compared to the fourth quarter,” said Cutler. “Compared to strong
conditions in the first quarter of 2012, the year-over-year
comparisons are negative. Reflecting this, our bookings in the
quarter declined 8 percent from the first quarter of 2012.”
Aerospace segment sales were $434 million, up 1 percent over the
first quarter of 2012. Operating profits in the first quarter were
$62 million, an increase of 3 percent compared to a year
earlier.
“Aerospace markets grew modestly in the first quarter, with
strongest growth in the commercial OEM market,” said Cutler.
The Vehicle segment posted sales of $939 million, down 11
percent compared to the first quarter of 2012. The segment reported
operating profits in the first quarter of $132 million, a decrease
of 18 percent from the first quarter of 2012.
“Continuing the trends we saw in the second half of last year,
our NAFTA and European customers experienced generally weaker
market conditions,” said Cutler.

EATON CORPORATION plcNOTES TO THE FIRST QUARTER 2013
EARNINGS RELEASE
Amounts are in millions of dollars unless indicated otherwise
(per share data assume dilution).
This earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial
measures. These financial measures include operating earnings,
operating earnings per ordinary share, and operating profit before
acquisition integration charges and transaction costs for each
business segment as well as corporate expense, each of which
excludes amounts that differ from the most directly comparable
measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of each of these financial
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included
in this earnings release. Management believes that these financial
measures are useful to investors because they exclude transactions
of an unusual nature, allowing investors to more easily compare
Eaton's financial performance period to period. Management uses
this information in monitoring and evaluating the on-going
performance of Eaton and each business segment.

The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was
5.0% compared to 15.6% for the first quarter of 2012. The lower
effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2013 was primarily
attributable to recording in the first quarter of 2013 the entire
U.S. research and experimentation credit for 2012 as a result of a
legislative change that occurred in January 2013, the effects of
the Cooper transaction and integration, and enhanced utilization of
foreign tax credits in the U.S.
