CIRCOR Reports Record Fourth Quarter Earnings of $0.63 Per Share

BURLINGTON, Mass., Feb. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CIRCOR International, Inc. (NYSE: CIR), a leading provider of valves and other fluid control devices for the instrumentation, aerospace, thermal fluid and energy markets, today announced results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2006.

Revenues for the 2006 fourth quarter were $169.6 million, an increase of 41% from $120.4 million for the fourth quarter 2005. Net income for the fourth quarter 2006 increased 119% to $10.4 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $4.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the 2005 fourth quarter. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2006 included a $0.01 charge for the adoption of FAS 123R, the expensing of stock options. The Company also recorded income tax benefits in the fourth quarter 2006 of $0.03 per diluted share primarily related to tax credits for product development and research activities.

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2006, revenues were $591.7 million, an increase of 31% from $450.5 million for 2005. Net income for 2006 was $29.3 million or $1.80 per diluted share, an increase of 44% from $20.4 million or $1.27 per diluted share in 2005. The earnings per share for 2006 includes a $0.05 charge for the adoption of FAS 123R, the expensing of stock options.

The Company received orders totaling $171.3 million during the fourth quarter 2006, increasing 43% over the fourth quarter of 2005. For the full year 2006, orders totaled $713.3 million with year-end backlog reaching $285.7 million, representing increases of 60% and 101%, respectively, over 2005 results.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company generated $13.5 million of free cash flow (defined as net cash from operating activities, less capital expenditures and dividends paid) and, for the full year 2006, the Company generated $17.5 million of free cash flow, a decrease of 37% from $27.9 million of free cash flow generated in 2005. The decrease from 2005 largely resulted from an investment in working capital in 2006 to support its 60% increase in customer orders and 31% increase in revenues as compared to 2005.

Circor's Instrumentation and Thermal Fluid Controls Products segment revenues increased 19% to $81.6 million from $68.3 million in the fourth quarter 2005 primarily due to acquisitions. Incoming orders for this segment were $76.0 million. Excluding acquisitions, orders were $62.9 million for the fourth quarter 2006, a decrease of 12% from the fourth quarter 2005. Last year's fourth quarter orders included $8 million related to military helicopter programs received by the Company's Loud Engineering subsidiary. However, during 2006, orders were received earlier throughout the year. This segment's backlog at year-end increased 35% to $113.4 million compared to $84.0 million at December 31, 2005. Excluding acquisitions, backlog increased 19% as market conditions in this segment's aerospace, instrumentation and steam markets remain relatively healthy. This segment's operating margin for the fourth quarter was 8.2%, down from the 8.7% operating margin achieved in the fourth quarter 2005. Operating results for the fourth quarter were adversely affected by higher-than-expected production expediting costs related to specific large project shipments within the Aerospace and Thermal Fluid Controls product lines and higher production and inventory costs affecting our Instrumentation operations.

Circor's Energy Products segment revenues increased 69% to $88.0 million from $52.1 million in the fourth quarter last year. Incoming orders for the quarter were $95.4 million and ending backlog totaled $172.2 million compared to incoming orders of $43.7 million and ending backlog of $58.1 million as of December 31, 2005. Excluding acquisitions, orders for the fourth quarter 2006 were $86.8 million and ending backlog totaled $145.4 million. Capital spending in the energy sector continued at high levels as quotation activity and the level of planned international oil and gas projects remained strong. This segment's operating margin was 15.4% during the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to 9.2% for the fourth quarter of 2005. The fourth quarter of 2006 benefited from significantly higher units shipped including certain high margin projects.

David A Bloss, Sr., Circor's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said "We are pleased with our overall performance in the fourth quarter and with our healthy backlog of orders as we begin 2007. While clearly above our estimates, fourth quarter earnings were bolstered by the performance of our Energy Products segment, where strong market conditions and productivity improvements contributed to greater efficiencies. These strong results more than offset the lower earnings from our Instrumentation and Thermal Fluid Controls segment where we continue to focus significant effort to improve the long-term profitability of its product lines. We continue to foresee improved operating performance for the Instrumentation and Thermal Fluid Controls segment in 2007 as our cost reduction initiatives take hold."

Circor provided guidance for its first quarter 2007 results, indicating it expects earnings to be in the range of $0.41 to $0.43 per diluted share, excluding anticipated special charges related to a facility closure during the quarter. The guidance compares favorably to earnings in the first quarter 2006 of $0.32 per diluted share, but is lower than fourth quarter 2006 results due to the timing of major project shipments.

CIRCOR International has scheduled a conference call to review its results for the fourth quarter of 2006 tomorrow, February 22, 2007, at 10:30 am ET. Interested parties may access the call by dialing (800) 238-9007 from the US and Canada and (719) 457-2622 from international locations.
