Altra Holdings Announces 14% Sequential Sales Growth
for the First Quarter 2010

Reports 3% year-over-year revenue growth
Diluted EPS climbs to $0.22 from $0.05 in the prior year quarter
Company raises top- and bottom-line guidance for 2010
Early cycle portion of the business drives demand

BRAINTREE, Mass., May 4, 2010 — Altra Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIMC), a leading global supplier of clutch brakes, couplings, gearing, belted drives and power transmission components, today announced unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended April 3, 2010.

Financial Highlights

• First-quarter net sales increased 3% to $127.7 million compared with the prior-year first quarter. Sales increased 14% from the fourth quarter of 2009.

• First-quarter net income was $0.22 per diluted share compared with net income of $0.05 per diluted share in the prior-year period. Non-GAAP recurring diluted earnings per share were $0.24 for the first quarter of 2010 compared with $0.12 in the prior year.*

• Income from operations increased 390 basis points to 10.7% from the first quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP recurring income from operations increased 250 basis points to 11.4% year over year.

• Company raises sales and earnings per share guidance on strengthening demand and corresponding earnings leverage on higher volumes.

• Interest expense was reduced by $1.4 million year over year as a result of lower outstanding borrowings and the Company’s refinancing in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Management Comments

“The sales momentum we saw in the fourth quarter of last year carried into the first quarter of 2010 as we reported 14% sequential revenue growth,” said Carl Christenson, President and CEO. “We reported 3% year-over-year sales growth on demand strength from our early-cycle businesses, and benefitted from our distributors significantly reducing destocking efforts. Non-GAAP recurring income from operations increased 250 basis points year over year to 11.4% due to volume leverage and gains in productivity. As a result, we also performed well on the bottom line, doubling non-GAAP recurring earnings per share year over year to $0.24.”

Financial Results

Net sales for the first quarter of 2010 increased 3% to $127.7 million from $124.5 million in the prior-year period.

Income from operations for the first quarter of 2010 was $13.6 million compared with income from operations of $8.5 million in the prior-year first quarter. Income from operations in the first quarter of 2010 included restructuring charges of $1.0 million and income from operations in the first quarter of 2009 included restructuring costs, an OPEB (other post employment benefit) plan settlement gain and inventory adjustments due to the economic downturn totaling $2.6 million. Excluding the charges in both periods, non-GAAP income from operations increased to $14.6 million, or 11.4% of sales, in the first quarter of 2010 compared with non-GAAP income from operations of $11.1 million, or 8.9% of sales, in the first quarter of 2009.

Other expense was $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared with income of $0.2 million in the year-earlier quarter, driven mainly by unfavorable foreign currency.

For the first quarter of 2010, the Company reported net income of $5.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. This compares with net income of $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the prior-year first quarter. Excluding the items described above in both periods, non-GAAP recurring diluted earnings per share were $0.24 in the first quarter of 2010 compared with $0.12 in the prior-year period (see reconciliation table).

Cash and cash equivalents were $53.6 million at April 3, 2010, up 4% from year-ended December 31, 2009.

Business Outlook

“During 2009, we were primarily focused on cost reduction and cash generation,” said Christenson. “We are now concentrating our efforts on initiatives that will enable us to grow Altra for the long-term. For 2010, these initiatives include investing in organic growth, seeking strategic acquisitions, targeting key underpenetrated geographic regions, entering new high-growth markets, enhancing our efficiency and productivity through the Altra Business System and focusing on the development of our people and processes.”

“We expect the demand momentum we have experienced at our early-cycle businesses will continue throughout 2010,” added Christenson. “While some of our first-quarter sales increase was likely due to some of our customers restocking their channels, we believe the majority of the increase was due to improvement in end market demand. There also are some early positive signs from our late-cycle markets. We are encouraged that we may see an increase in orders from those markets later this year, which should lead to sales growth in 2011. As a result of our optimism about the remainder of the year, we have raised our top- and bottom-line guidance for 2010.”

The Company is raising its guidance and is now forecasting 2010 sales in the range of $470 million to $485 million and non-GAAP recurring EPS of $0.70 to $0.80 for the full year. The Company now expects capital expenditures of approximately $13 million, and depreciation and amortization in the range of $22 to $23 million. The Company now expects its tax rate to be in the range of 33.0% to 35.0%.

The company will conduct an investor conference call on May 5, 2010 at 11:00 AM ET to discuss its unaudited first-quarter 2010 financial results. The public is invited to listen to the conference call by dialing (877) 407-8293 domestically or (201) 689-8349 for international access.

*Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As used in this release and the accompanying slides posted on the company’s website, non-GAAP recurring diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP recurring income from operations and non-GAAP recurring net income are each calculated using either net income or income from operations that excludes premiums, discounts and interest expense associated with the extinguishment of debt, other post employment benefit plan settlement gains, restructuring costs, inventory adjustments due to the economic downturn and other income or charges that management does not consider to be directly related to the company’s core operating performance. Non-GAAP recurring diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing non-GAAP recurring net income by GAAP weighted average shares outstanding (diluted).

As used in this release and the accompanying slides posted on the company’s website, non-GAAP free cash flow is calculated as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures.

Altra believes that the presentation of non-GAAP recurring net income, non-GAAP recurring income from operations, non-GAAP recurring diluted earnings per share and non-GAAP free cash flow provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s financial condition and results of operations.
