Lincoln Electric reports 3Q'10 Sales increase of 17.5%; 3Q Operating income increase of 44.5% or 21.7%, as adjusted; 3Q EPS of $0.76 or $0.79, as adjusted

Karachi, Oct. 29 -- Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: LECO) today reported third quarter 2010 net income of $32.5 million, or $0.76 per diluted share. Sales were $519.3 million in the third quarter of 2010 versus $441.8 million in the comparable 2009 period, an increase of 17.5%. Operating income for the third quarter increased $14.9 million to $48.2 million, or 9.3% of sales, from $33.3 million in the comparable 2009 period. Adjusted operating income in the quarter was $49.3 million, or 9.5% of sales.

"Current demand levels are stable in most market segments and geographical regions. I am cautiously optimistic that the global recovery will continue as we focus on market share gains and achieving our international expansion objectives. We also believe that our strong financial position will continue to provide the flexibility to execute our long-term strategic objectives to the benefit of our shareholders." Net cash provided by operating activities was $56.0 million in the third quarter compared with $97.1 million for the comparable period in 2009.

Adjusted operating income in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $134.7 million, or 8.9% of sales. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $88.7 million, or $2.08 per diluted share, compared with net income of $24.2 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2009. Adjusted net income was $91.3 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, compared with $45.4 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
