Mueller Industries, Inc. Reports Forty-Four Percent Increase in Second Quarter 2011 Earnings
MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Harvey L. Karp, Chairman of Mueller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLI), announced today that Mueller's net income in the second quarter of 2011 was $22.3 million, or 59 cents per diluted share. This compares with net income of $15.6 million, or 41 cents per diluted share, for the same period of 2010. Net sales for the second quarter of 2011 were $652.9 million compared with $540.4 million in the second quarter of 2010.
For the first half of 2011, net income was $62.9 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, on net sales of $1.34 billion. This compares with net income of $49.5 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, on net sales of $1.03 billion for the first half of 2010. The year-to-date results of both 2011 and 2010 include unusual items in net income. For the 2011 period, income of 18 cents per diluted share was included, resulting from the favorable settlement of a legal action. And, in 2010, income of 58 cents per diluted share was included in net income, resulting from an insurance claim. Excluding these unusual items, Mueller's net income for the first half of 2011 was $56.1 million, or $1.47 per diluted share, compared with $27.6 million, or 73 cents per diluted share, for the first half of 2010.

Business Outlook

RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME AS REPORTED | ||||||
TO NET INCOME BEFORE LITIGATION SETTLEMENT AND INSURANCE SETTLEMENT | ||||||
(In thousands, except per share data) | ||||||
Earnings without the litigation settlement in 2011 and without the insurance settlement in 2010 is a measurement not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Excluding the litigation settlement and insurance settlement is useful as it measures the operating results that are the outcome of daily operating decisions made in the normal course of business. The litigation settlement resulted from the collection of proceeds from the lawsuit against Peter Berkman, Jeffrey Berkman, and Homewerks Worldwide LLC. The insurance settlement resulted from the final settlement for losses claimed as a result of a fire at our U.K. subsidiary in November 2008, the results of which are not impacted by daily operations and are not expected to recur in future periods. Reconciliations of earnings without the litigation settlement and insurance settlement to net income as reported are as follows: | ||||||
