HUBBELL REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS;

NET SALES OF $709.2 MILLION AND EARNINGS PER DILUTED SHARE OF $1.07

SHELTON, CT. (July 21, 2011) — Hubbell Incorporated (NYSE: HUBA, HUBB) today reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Net sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $709.2 million, an increase of 10% compared to the $646.4 million reported in the second quarter of 2010. Operating income was $105.1 million, or 14.8% of net sales, compared to $93.5 million, or 14.5% of net sales, for the comparable period of 2010. Net income in the second quarter of 2011 was $65.2 million versus $57.6 million reported in the second quarter of 2010. Earnings per diluted share were $1.07 in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $0.95 reported in the second quarter of 2010. Free cash flow (defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was $53.8 million in the second quarter of 2011 versus $58.0 million reported in the comparable period of 2010.

For the first six months of 2011, net sales were $1.4 billion, an increase of 12% compared to the same period last year. Operating income was $188.7 million, or 13.8% of net sales, compared to $159.2 million, or 13.1% of net sales, for the comparable period of 2010. Net income in the first six months of 2011 was $115.5 million, an increase of 20% compared to the $96.2 million reported in the first six months of 2010. Earnings per diluted share were $1.89, or 19% above the $1.59 reported for the comparable period of 2010. Free cash flow was $85.3 million compared to $70.8 million reported in the first six months of 2010.

OPERATIONS REVIEW

Timothy H. Powers, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer said “I am very pleased with our second quarter results. Our sales increased 10% with solid growth being realized in most of our businesses. We also were able to increase our operating margin to 14.8% which represents a thirty basis point improvement compared to 2010. As we discussed last quarter, higher commodity costs were still a headwind in the second quarter, however, we did manage to narrow the gap between commodity cost increases and pricing actions.

“Looking at our end markets, we experienced continued strong demand for both utility and industrial products. The U.S. non-residential construction market was lower with continued weak demand for private new construction while the public sector spending declined due to stimulus related projects slowing and municipal budgets remaining constrained. However, the non-residential market is continuing to benefit from strong demand for renovation and relight products. The residential market remains weak as a lack of improvement in employment levels and a continued high number of home foreclosures have dampened the recovery.”

SEGMENT REVIEW

The comments and year-over-year percentages in this segment review are based on second quarter results in 2011 and 2010.

Electrical segment net sales in the second quarter of 2011 increased 9% to $497.9 million compared to $458.4 million reported in the second quarter of 2010. The sales increase was broad based and led by higher demand for industrial products, while residential sales declined. Price realization and favorable foreign currency translation each added 2% to sales in the quarter. Compared to the second quarter of 2010, operating income increased 13% to $69.2 million, or 13.9% of net sales. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher sales partially offset by increased commodity costs which were in excess of price realization.

Hubbell’s Power segment net sales in the second quarter of 2011 increased 12% to $211.3 million compared to $188.0 million reported in the second quarter of 2010. The increase was due to higher demand for both distribution and transmission products. Compared to the second quarter of 2010, operating income increased 11% to $35.9 million, or 17.0% of net sales. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher sales partially offset by increased commodity costs. Productivity improvements were offset by inflationary costs and spending on product development initiatives.

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK

Mr. Powers commented “Based on the strength of the first half, we are now forecasting net sales to increase by 7%-9% for the year. We have increased our outlook for the utility market and now expect that market to grow in the high-single digit range with increases in distribution and higher spending on transmission related projects. We have also increased our overall industrial market outlook due to higher factory utilization and increased demand for our harsh and hazardous products that are benefitting from strong energy markets. While the non-residential construction market is expected to decline, we anticipate that continued higher demand for renovation, relight and controls will provide an offset. However, we expect the residential market to remain weak for the remainder of 2011 with any recovery being delayed into next year.”

Mr. Powers concluded “Based on our strong performance in the first half of the year, we anticipate being able to generate record EPS in 2011. We believe that the pricing actions that have been implemented to date are sufficient to offset the commodity cost increases that we have experienced. We expect operating margins to be approximately 15% for the year in line with our previous guidance. Our balance sheet remains in a strong position to pursue acquisitions and we are continuing to evaluate strategic opportunities. Turning to 2012, we remain optimistic that our end markets will drive revenue growth. Despite some moderating third party forecasts for both the non-residential and residential construction markets, we still anticipate organic growth in all of our end markets in 2012 that will support higher earnings.”
