Pall Corporation First Quarter Sales Up 4.3% in Local Currency

Sales Overview

First quarter sales grew to $578 million, a 4.3%, or $24 million local currency ("LC") increase over the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Foreign currency translation reduced reported sales by $7 million or 1.3%.

Eric Krasnoff, Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are pleased that sales growth in the quarter was within guidance. Strong Aerospace results offset decreased Microelectronics sales. By geography, Europe and Asia posted mid-single digit growth, while the Western Hemisphere was flat."

Energy, Water & Process Technologies grew 5.7% overall, with both consumables and systems contributing to the growth in the quarter. Sales in the Municipal Water and Food & Beverage markets in both the Western Hemisphere and Asia were particularly strong.

In Aerospace & Transportation, Military sales increased 37.6% (in LC) while Commercial Aerospace declined 7.5% (in LC).

Microelectronics sales decreased reflecting growing weakness in the semiconductor and consumer electronics markets.

In the above comparisons to prior year amounts, both periods conform to the current classification.

BioPharmaceuticals sales increased 8.1% in the quarter driven by growth in both the Laboratory and Pharmaceuticals markets, particularly in Europe and Asia. The U.S. Pharmaceuticals market remains weak. Systems sales increased 13% (in LC) in the quarter as Pall continues to win business for new drugs and factories.

Medical sales decreased 0.9% in the quarter, reflecting lower Blood Filtration sales in the Western Hemisphere. The Hospital, Cell Therapy and OEM markets within Medical saw growth.

Conclusion

Mr. Krasnoff concluded, "These are unprecedented times for the global economy. The Company's financial strength translates into an ability to fully support our customers and capitalize on new business opportunities. Customers rely on Pall products to run their own businesses.

In addition to the well-established cost reduction and productivity improvement initiatives we have been executing on, we have taken further measures to contain expenditures and manage cash flow. We look forward to reporting full first quarter results after the market closes on December 9th."
