BARNES GROUP INC. ANNOUNCES RECORD
FULL YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER 2005 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 
Record full year 2005 net income of $60.5 million or $2.48 per share
 
2005 annual sales surpass $1 billion, up 11% to $1.1 billion
 
12th consecutive quarter-over-quarter double-digit sales growth
 

Bristol, Connecticut, February 16, 2006---Barnes Group Inc. (NYSE: B) today announced financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2005. For the full year 2005, Barnes Group’s net sales exceeded $1 billion for the first time in the Company’s 148-year history. Sales were $1.1 billion, up 11 percent from $994.7 million in 2004. Reported net income for the full year 2005 was a record $60.5 million or $2.48 per diluted share.

Adjusted net income increased 46 percent to $54.3 million, or $2.22 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to adjusted net income of $37.2 million, or $1.56 per diluted share in 2004.

References in this release to adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, and adjusted operating profit are non-GAAP financial measures. The 2005 references exclude the gain on the sale of the NASCO joint venture interest, retroactive tax benefits, a positive out-of-period adjustment related to accounts payable, and the cumulative effect of the fourth quarter 2005 change in accounting principle. The 2004 references to these non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain charges related to severance, inventories and facilities that occurred in the fourth quarter. Please refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Reconciliation at the end of this press release for detailed reconciliations to amounts reported in accordance with GAAP.

Net sales for the fourth quarter were $276.4 million, up 10 percent from $251.6 million in the fourth quarter 2004. Adjusted net income increased 79 percent to $12.0 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter 2005 from an adjusted net income of $6.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the previous fourth quarter.

“Last year was a banner year for Barnes Group. The Company exceeded $1 billion in sales for the first time. Sales in the fourth quarter were also at record levels,” said Edmund M. Carpenter, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Solid sales growth, driven by organic growth, provided the foundation for terrific year-over-year improvements in operating income and net income. Our full

year results in all three business segments reflect strong operational execution in support of our objective of balanced, sustainable, profitable growth.
 
“The Company’s situation is dramatically stronger as we enter 2006. The Company’s targeted earnings for the full year 2006, based on current market conditions, are in the range of $2.50 to $2.60 per diluted share,” added Carpenter.
 
Sales at Barnes Distribution were $112.8 million for the fourth quarter 2005, up 8 percent from  $104.2 million in the same quarter last year. Driving this growth were increases in U.S., Canadian and European operations as well as Raymond Distribution. Barnes Distribution Raymond and Barnes Distribution Europe included the third quarter acquisitions of Service Plus Distributors, Inc. and Toolcom Supplies Ltd., respectively. Barnes Distribution’s key growth initiatives, Corporate Accounts and Tier II, posted double-digit sales increases in the fourth quarter, up 10 percent and 54 percent, respectively, as compared to last year.

Reported operating profit for Barnes Distribution in the fourth quarter of 2005 was $5.3 million, up from an adjusted operating profit of $1.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The strong improvement in adjusted operating profit was due to higher sales volume, improved gross margin, and a decrease in distribution costs.

For all of 2005, sales at Barnes Distribution were $453.8 million, up 7 percent from $424.8 million in 2004. Adjusted operating profit for 2005 was $24.6 million, up 53 percent from an adjusted operating profit of $16.1 million last year, due to higher sales volume and improved gross margins driven by costs savings and operational improvements.

“Barnes Distribution continues its strategic focus on sales and operational improvements,” said Idelle K. Wolf, President, Barnes Distribution. “With continued distribution network improvements, decreasing distribution costs and service levels sustained at targeted ranges, Barnes Distribution is well positioned to execute its growth initiatives in 2006.”

Sales at Associated Spring were $101.1 million in the fourth quarter 2005, up 4 percent from $97.0 million in the comparable quarter in 2004. Associated Spring’s reported operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $5.5 million, down slightly compared to an adjusted operating profit of $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. The decrease in reported operating profit compared to last year’s adjusted amount was primarily due to higher than anticipated domestic operational costs in its traditional spring operations, partially offset by the impact of higher sales volume.

For all of 2005, sales at Associated Spring were $422.4 million, up 13 percent from $373.5 million in 2004. Reported operating profit for 2005 grew 25 percent to $32.1 million, from an adjusted operating profit of $25.6 million in 2004. The increase was driven in large part by the profit contribution on higher sales volume from the specialty operations and incremental sales from the Barnes Precision Valve acquisition.

“Fourth quarter and full year sales were at record levels,” said Gregory F. Milzcik, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Barnes Group Inc. and President, Associated Spring. “Associated Spring continues to focus on strengthening financial results by generating profitable sales, growing high potential businesses, and improving the underperforming domestic traditional spring operations.”
 

 
Barnes Group Inc. / 3
 
Sales at Barnes Aerospace were $64.2 million for the fourth quarter 2005, up 25 percent from $51.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Generating this sales growth in the fourth quarter was an 18 percent increase in Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) sales and a 48 percent increase in Aftermarket sales including Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) and aftermarket Revenue Sharing Programs (RSPs). Orders for Barnes Aerospace in the fourth quarter were $77.7 million, compared to $71.5 million in the previous fourth quarter. Backlog increased to a record $269.3 million.

Operating profit increased 32 percent to $8.4 million in the fourth quarter 2005 from $6.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. The strong improvement in operating profit was driven by higher sales volume, an increased percentage of aftermarket activity, and operational improvements from Six Sigma and lean manufacturing initiatives.

For all of 2005, sales at Barnes Aerospace were $235.4 million, up 14 percent from $205.9 million in 2004. Operating profit increased 33 percent in 2005 to $28.4 million from $21.4 million in 2004, driven by the increased sales volume particularly from the higher margin aftermarket RSPs and the increase in MRO sales.
 
“Barnes Aerospace achieved records in sales, orders, backlog and operating profit in 2005,” said Patrick J. Dempsey, President, Barnes Aerospace. “During 2006, Barnes Aerospace will continue its focus on accelerating profitable growth by adding capacity through improved productivity, capital initiatives, and the transition of selected manufacturing activities to Singapore.”

William C. Denninger, Barnes Group Inc.’s Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “All three businesses contributed to our record results. These results reflect the leverage the Company can achieve when all three businesses demonstrate balanced, sustainable, and profitable growth. With the recent realignment of our international operations and a strong balance sheet, we have strengthened our ability to implement our key global growth initiatives.”

Notes: The Company has excluded certain discrete items from its financial measurements. These discrete items include:
 
1) As part of management's on-going internal control assessment, during the third quarter of 2005, the Company identified and recorded an adjustment to accounts payable and cost of sales at Barnes Distribution. The Company determined that cost of sales was overstated in prior periods due to inaccuracies in recording inventory receipts from 2000 through 2005. This overstatement was corrected in the third quarter of 2005 as a reduction to cost of sales of $1,814. The after-tax effect of this adjustment was $1,141 or $0.05 per share. Management concluded that such corrections were immaterial, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to the 2005 financial statements and to the previously reported results of the prior years to which they relate.
 
2) During the third quarter of 2005, the Company was granted Pioneer tax status in Singapore and recorded retroactive tax benefits of which $1,473 or $0.06 per share related to periods prior to January 1, 2005.
 
3) During the second quarter of 2005, the Company sold its 45 percent interest in NHK-Associated Spring Suspension Components Inc. ("NASCO"), resulting in a pre-tax gain of $8,892 and an after-tax gain of $4,030 or $0.17 per share.
 
4) The fourth quarter 2004 charges which aggregate $4,510 included severance costs of $2,184 at Associated Spring and $1,298 at Barnes Distribution and $1,028 of inventory and facility charges at Barnes Distribution. $471 of these charges impacted cost of sales. The after-tax impact of these charges was $2,792 or $0.12 per share. The charges related to discrete actions taken in the fourth quarter of 2004.
 
5) In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company adopted FIN No. 47 "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" resulting in a charge of $391, net of taxes, or $0.02 per share.
 
These adjustments represent discrete items and an out-of-period adjustment. Management believes that providing results excluding these items is useful to investors. Management does not intend results excluding the adjustments to represent results as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider it as an alternative measurement calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Accordingly, the measurements have limitations depending on their use.

Notes: The Company has presented certain per share financial measurements, excluding the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, a positive adjustment related to accounts payable, certain retroactive tax benefits and the gain on the sale of NASCO and as if the Company had adopted SFAS No. 123 during 2005 as follows:
 
1) In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company adopted FIN No. 47 "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations" resulting in a charge of $391, or $0.02 per diluted share, net of taxes.
 
2) As part of management's on-going internal control assessment, during the third quarter of 2005, the Company identified and recorded an adjustment to accounts payable and cost of sales at Barnes Distribution. The Company determined that cost of sales was overstated in prior periods due to inaccuracies in recording inventory receipts from 2000 through 2005. This overstatement was corrected in the third quarter of 2005 as a reduction to cost of sales of $1,814. The after-tax effect of this adjustment was $1,141, or $0.05 per diluted share. Management concluded that such corrections were immaterial, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to the 2005 financial statements and to the previously reported results of the prior years to which they relate.
 
3) During the third quarter of 2005, the Company was granted Pioneer tax status in Singapore and recorded retroactive tax benefits of $2,553 of which $1,473, or $0.06 per diluted share, related to periods prior to January 1, 2005 and $1,080, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to the first half of 2005 ($0.02 in each the first and second quarter of 2005).
 
4) During the second quarter of 2005, the Company sold its 45 percent interest in NHK-Associated Spring Suspension Components Inc. ("NASCO"), resulting in a pre-tax gain of $8,892 and an after-tax gain of $4,030, or $0.17 per diluted share.
 
5) The Company grants stock options and other equity-based compensation to its employees and discloses the pro forma effect of compensation expense had the Company applied the provisions of SFAS No. 123 in the footnotes to its financial statements. Under SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payment," which the Company will adopt in 2006, the Company will be required to record this compensation expense in the Company's results of operations. Upon adoption, the Company will utilize the modified retrospective method of application which will result in the restatement of prior period amounts as indicated.
 
These adjustments represent discrete items and an out-of-period adjustment. Management believes that providing results excluding these items is useful to investors. Management does not intend results excluding the adjustments to represent results as defined by GAAP, and the reader should not consider it as an alternative measurement calculated in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Accordingly, the measurements have limitations depending on their use.
