SARASOTA, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 08/05/13 -- Sun Hydraulics Corporation (NASDAQ: SNHY) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2013 as follows:
June 29, June 30, Increase/
2013 2012 (Decrease)
Three Months Ended
Net sales $ 55.8 $ 57.0 (2)%
Net income $ 11.8 $ 11.2 5%
Net income per share:
Basic $ 0.45 $ 0.43 5%
Diluted $ 0.45 $ 0.43 5%
Six Months Ended
Net sales $ 106.8 $ 112.3 (5)%
Net income $ 21.4 $ 21.9 (2)%
Net income per share:
Basic $ 0.82 $ 0.85 (4)%

"The second quarter was strong with better than expected earnings due to higher revenues and a $0.01 per share gain resulting from the acquisition of WhiteOak Controls," said Allen Carlson, Sun's President and CEO. "On a year-over-year basis, second quarter sales were off a bit in the Americas, flat in Europe and up slightly in Asia."
"Our new factory in Sarasota is progressing nicely and we expect to be operational in the third quarter," Carlson said. "An important part of our value proposition is delivery reliability. The new factory ensures we will continue to offer the industry's best delivery. With the new factory coming online, we are closing our Kansas facility. We started the Kansas operation in 2003 to manufacture both ductile iron and larger aluminum manifolds used in integrated packages. The added space the new factory provides now makes it possible to consolidate these operations in Sarasota."
"The WhiteOak Controls acquisition is complete and fully integrated into High Country Tek (HCT)," Carlson continued. "Integrated solutions continue to represent the evolution of the cartridge valve industry and these electronic additions to our product portfolio enhance our position in the market place. As HCT and WhiteOak become more fully assimilated under the Sun brand, including representation by our global distribution network, we improve our ability to develop differentiated, integrated solutions for our customers."
Concluding, Carlson said, "As the outlook indicates, the 3rd quarter should follow our normal seasonal pattern. Global capital goods leading indicators are more positive than negative. Last week's U.S. PMI at 55.4 was encouraging and bodes well for the manufacturing environment and Sun. With our new factory, we have put Sun in position to take full advantage of the next growth cycle. We will continue to offer the industry's best delivery reliability and remain engaged in product and market development activities, while we continue to deliver strong financial results."
Outlook
Third quarter 2013 revenues are expected to be approximately $49 - 50 million, up approximately 1% from the third quarter of 2012. Earnings per share are estimated to be $0.32 to $0.34 compared to $0.34 in the same period a year ago. The Kansas relocation will cost approximately $0.02 per share, $0.01 of which is included in the third quarter estimate.
