Airgas Raises First Quarter Earnings Guidance and Announces Earnings Schedule
RADNOR, PA — June 19, 2007 — Airgas, Inc., (NYSE: ARG), the largest U.S. distributor of industrial, medical, and specialty gases, welding, safety, and related products, today announced that it expects to exceed guidance for its first quarter ending June 30, 2007. The Company now expects first quarter earnings per diluted share from continuing operations in the range of $0.61 to $0.63, which is approximately 17 percent above previous EPS estimates of $0.52 to $0.54.
“The increased estimate is primarily driven by stronger than expected same-store sales, which are running at 9 percent through May, exceeding the pace we saw in the fourth quarter and in early April,” said Airgas Chairman and CEO Peter McCausland. “We have seen good growth in both gas and hardgoods same-store sales with strong demand across our customer base, including manufacturing and non-residential construction sectors. Our new guidance assumes continued sales momentum through June.”
McCausland continued, “We will update our full-year earnings guidance when we announce our results in late July.”
The company will release its first quarter earnings shortly after 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, July 25, 2007, and will host a teleconference at 11:00 a.m. ET on Thursday, July 26, 2007. The presentation materials will be available on the Internet at http://www.shareholder.com/arg/slides.cfm by 5 p.m. on July 25. A web cast of the teleconference will be available live and on demand through August 31 at http://www.shareholder.com/arg/medialist.cfm
The teleconference will be available by calling (800) 665-0430. A replay of the teleconference will be available through August 3. To listen, call (888) 203-1112 and enter passcode 4803679.
