“Third quarter sales were as expected,” said Allen Carlson, Sun’s CEO and president. “The sales decline was driven primarily by Asia/Pacific and Europe. While business was down in these regions, we continued to gain new customers to make up for slowing business with existing customers. North America was able to eke out a modest increase in the period. Earnings were within our forecast range, despite being negatively impacted by approximately $0.01 due to taxes.”

Continuing, Carlson commented, “Our product development efforts are ongoing and new products continue to represent between 10 and 15% of sales. We have also been working to revamp and enhance our website and expect to launch the new version in early 2013. The new website will be faster, with added configuration mechanisms to make it easier for customers to define and procure solutions.”

Carlson concluded by saying, “Our fourth quarter forecast reflects continued sluggishness in the macro economy. The PMI is bouncing around the 50 mark, plus or minus, and has yet to provide any clear trend indications either positive or negative. Despite global headwinds, 2012 will be a successful year for Sun. Our efforts remain focused on product and market development and providing differentiated solutions and services to our customers.”

Outlook

Fourth quarter 2012 revenues are expected to be approximately $41 million, down approximately 10% from the fourth quarter of 2011. Earnings per share are estimated to be $0.22 to $0.24 compared to $0.24 in the same period a year ago.


Management estimates year-end 2012 sales to be approximately $202 million, down approximately 1% from 2011 sales. Earnings per share for 2011 are estimated to be $1.40 to $1.42, compared to $1.46 in 2011.

For comparison purposes, 2011 results included a one-time $0.03 per share gain resulting from the acquisition of HCT.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain oral statements made by management from time to time and certain statements contained herein that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, including those in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations, estimates or projections of the Company, its Directors or its Officers about the Company and the industry in which it operates, and assumptions made by management, and include among other items, (i) the Company’s strategies regarding growth, including its intention to develop new products; (ii) the Company’s financing plans; (iii) trends affecting the Company’s financial condition or results of operations; (iv) the Company’s ability to continue to control costs and to meet its liquidity and other financing needs; (v) the declaration and payment of dividends; and (vi) the Company’s ability to respond to changes in customer demand domestically and internationally, including as a result of standardization. Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that the anticipated results will occur.

Important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among other items, (i) the economic cyclicality of the capital goods industry in general and the hydraulic valve and manifold industry in particular, which directly affect customer orders, lead times and sales volume; (ii) conditions in the capital markets, including the interest rate environment and the availability of capital; (iii) changes in the competitive marketplace that could affect the Company’s revenue and/or cost bases, such as increased competition, lack of qualified engineering, marketing, management or other personnel, and increased labor and raw materials costs; (iv) changes in technology or customer requirements, such as standardization of the cavity into which screw-in cartridge valves must fit, which could render the Company’s products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete; (v) new product introductions, product sales mix and the geographic mix of sales nationally and internationally; and (vi) changes relating to the Company’s international sales, including changes in regulatory requirements or tariffs, trade or currency restrictions, fluctuations in exchange rates, and tax and collection issues.
