MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio, Aug. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Preformed Line Products Company (Nasdaq: PLPC) today reported financial results for the second quarter and the first six months of 2013.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 decreased 3% to $6,386,000, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $6,596,000 or $1.21 per diluted share, for the comparable period in 2012.  Currency exchange rates had a negative impact on net income of $138,000 or $.03 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2013.

Net sales in the second quarter of 2013 were $111,716,000, compared to $111,940,000 in the second quarter of 2012.  Currency exchange rates had a negative impact on sales of $1,137,000 for the second quarter of 2013.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $11,351,000, or $2.08 per diluted share, compared to $14,729,000, or $2.71 per diluted share for the comparable period in 2012.  Currency exchange rates had a negative impact on net income of $326,000 or $.06 per diluted share for the first six months of 2013.

Net sales decreased 5% to $210,405,000 for the first six months of 2013 compared to $220,786,000 in the first six months of 2012.  Currency exchange rates had a negative impact on sales of $3,263,000 for the first six months of 2013.

Rob Ruhlman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our second quarter was one of our strongest quarters.  With 60 percent of our revenues originating in operations outside of the United States, we were faced with currency headwinds.  Excluding the negative impact of translating foreign denominated financial statements into dollars, our sales were up over last year.  In addition, our U.S. results were negatively impacted by translation losses of $1.7 million in the quarter and $1.6 million for the year on intercompany loans to our subsidiaries.  Although these losses due to intercompany loans are not realized until the loans are repaid, we still recognize these translation losses in our income statement."
