REGAL BELOIT REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
| Quarterly Sales Increased 31% |
|
| Strong Operating Cash Flow |
May 2, 2011 (Beloit, WI): Regal Beloit Corporation (NYSE: RBC) today reported financial results
for the first quarter ended April 2, 2011. Net sales of $662.7 million increased 30.6% compared to
$507.3 million for the first quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per share were $0.99 compared to
$0.98 for the first quarter of 2010.
In line with our guidance, sales across all business units improved over the first quarter 2010,
commented Mr. Mark Gliebe, Chief Executive Officer. However, we faced continued inflationary
pressure on input costs, especially costs for copper and steel. We are implementing our previously
announced price increases that were effective beginning in March 2011 to help offset these cost
increases. Additionally we incurred significant transaction-related expenses as we prepare for the
closing of the acquisition of A.O. Smiths motor business.

Net sales for the first quarter 2011 increased $155.3 million compared to the first quarter of

including strong demand for energy efficient products.

to the first quarter 2010, including $81.3 million of incremental net sales from the acquired

2011 compared to the first quarter 2010. North American commercial and industrial net sales
increased 12.8% for the first quarter compared to the first quarter 2010 driven by improving
economic conditions, the impact of the EISA legislation and a strong recovery in our generator
business.

improving demand in Europe.

quarter 2011 compared to 27.1% of total net sales for the first quarter 2010. First quarter 2011

Net interest expense for the first quarter 2011 was $4.8 million, compared to $4.4 million for the
first quarter 2010. The effective tax rate for the first quarter 2011 was 31.2% which was in line
with prior guidance.
Net income attributable to Regal Beloit Corporation for the first quarter 2011 was $38.8 million, a
2.9% increase compared to $37.8 million for the first quarter 2010. Fully diluted earnings per
share for the first quarter 2011 were $0.99 compared to $0.98 for the first quarter 2010.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $56.2 million for the first quarter 2011, an increase
of 26.7% compared to the first quarter 2010. Capital expenditures were $27.7 million which
included the purchase of our factory in Faridabad, India which was previously leased. Cash and
investments totaled $259.5 million at April 2, 2011, an increase of $28.6 million from January 1,
2011.
Looking back on the quarter we are encouraged by the strength in our sales growth but are
disappointed with our margin performance which was negatively impacted by commodity inflation,
continued Mr. Gliebe. As we look forward to the second quarter we are expecting to see the
normal seasonal improvement in our HVAC sales which can be impacted by the weather. Steel input
costs will be a significant headwind and copper costs remain at elevated levels. We anticipate
starting to realize the benefit of previously announced price increases and seeing improved
contributions from our 2010 acquisitions. Accordingly, we are projecting second quarter diluted
earnings per share of $1.22 to $1.28 per share. Our guidance for the second quarter includes
similar levels of acquisition related expense, but does not include the impact of closing on the
acquisition of the A.O. Smith motor business.
