COLFAX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
 
RICHMOND, VA – April 30, 2010 - Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX), a global leader in fluid-handling solutions for critical applications, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended April 2, 2010. On a year-over-year basis, highlights for the quarter include:
 
First quarter of 2010 (all comparisons versus the first quarter of 2009)
 
 
Net loss of $0.7 million (2 cents per share – basic and diluted) including restructuring and other related charges of $4.0 million; adjusted net income (as defined below) of $5.7 million (13 cents per share), a decrease of 44.6% including positive currency effects of 1 cent per share
 
 
Net sales of $120.0 million, a decrease of 12.0%; organic sales decline (as defined below) of 17.1%
 
 
Operating income of $0.9 million; adjusted operating income (as defined below) of $10.2 million, a decrease of 40.0% including positive currency effects of $0.9 million
 
 
First quarter orders of $119.6 million, a decrease of 2.9%; organic order decline (as defined below) of 8.2%
 
 
Backlog of $281.3 million at period end
 
Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth (decline) are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”). See below for a description of the measures’ usefulness and a reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
 
“Our first quarter results came in higher than our guidance primarily due to improvement in our general industrial business,” said Clay Kiefaber, President and CEO of Colfax Corporation. “We’re continuing to see gradual improvement in most of our end markets as evidenced by our sequential orders which were up 22% on an organic basis over the fourth quarter.”
 
He added, “Our balance sheet remains strong with cash of $60 million and $136 million available under our revolving credit facility at the end of the quarter.  We’ve initiated the global realignment of our organization which will allow us to leverage our capabilities and drive sustained growth.  We’ll continue to focus on reducing costs, enhancing working capital and driving cash flow while pursuing our organic growth initiatives and acquisition opportunities. We’re encouraged by the sequential improvement we saw during the quarter but remain cautious on our outlook for the balance of the year.  We are reaffirming our guidance which includes an organic sales decline of 5% to 9% and adjusted net income per share of $.67 to $.77 for 2010.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Adjustments
Colfax has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, adjusted operating income, organic sales growth (decline), organic order growth (decline) and projected adjusted net income per share. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and adjusted operating income exclude asbestos liability and defense costs and asbestos coverage litigation expenses, and restructuring and other related charges to the extent they impact the periods presented. Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share and projected adjusted net income per share present income taxes at an effective tax rate of 32%. Projected adjusted net income per share excludes actual and estimated restructuring and other related charges, asbestos coverage litigation expenses and asbestos liability and defense costs.  Organic sales growth (decline) and organic order growth (decline) exclude the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange rate fluctuations.  These non-GAAP financial measures assist Colfax in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis because, among other things, they remove the impact of non-recurring items, legacy asbestos issues and items outside the control of its operating management team.
 
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information calculated in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented above to GAAP results has been provided in the financial tables included in this press release.


 
Conference Call and Webcast
Colfax will host a conference call to provide details about its results and outlook on Friday, April 30 at 8:00 a.m. ET. The call will be open to the public through 877-303-7908 or 678-373-0875 and webcast via Colfax’s website at http://www.colfaxcorp.com under the “Investor Relations” section. Access to a supplemental slide presentation can also be found at the Colfax website under the same heading.  Both the audio of this call and the slide presentation will be archived on the website later today and will be available until the next quarterly call.
