(NYSE:UNA) today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter which ended October 2, 2005. UNOVA reported third quarter revenues of $219.8 million and after tax earnings from continuing operations of $11.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to 2004 third quarter revenues of $194.8 million and after tax earnings from continuing operations of $6.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. Including discontinued operations, net earnings for the third quarter of 2005 was $4.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share compared to net earnings of $5.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share in the prior year's third quarter. Intermec operating profits, including the impact of $5.7 million of incremental legal expense, increased to $18.0 million for the third quarter of 2005, compared to $17.1 million for the same prior year period. The Company's pre-tax earnings from continuing operations increased 140% in the current quarter to $12.9 million, compared to $5.4 million in the prior year's third quarter. "This third quarter performance reflects the continuing growth and operating leverage that have characterized our business for some time," said Larry D. Brady, Chairman and CEO. "Our ongoing efforts to establish Intermec as the technology leader were bolstered this quarter by the launch of our MEMS -- based laser scanning technology, along with the success derived from our RFID Rapid Start licensing program." Intermec product revenue categories achieved double digit growth over the comparable 2004 quarter. Systems and Solutions revenue increased 12 percent and Printer and Media revenues increased 10 percent over the comparable prior-year period. Service revenue increased 16 percent over the comparable prior-year period. Geographically, North American revenues achieved an increase of 18 percent over the comparable prior-year period. Revenues in Europe, Mid-East and Africa (EMEA) increased 7 percent, Latin America revenues increased 8 percent and revenues in Asia Pacific decreased 6 percent. Corporate and other expenditures were $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2005, a reduction of $3.9 million compared to the $8.3 million in the prior-year-quarter. The Company's discontinued operations recorded an after-tax loss of ($6.7) million for the current quarter, including an after-tax charge of approximately $6.5 million related to the settlement of a legal dispute with Tower Automotive. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company reached an agreement to sell its Landis Grinding Systems operations to Groupe Fives-Lille, a leading industrial engineering group based in Montreuil-sous-Bois, France. The anticipated transaction will fully complete UNOVA's stated commitment to divest its Industrial Automation Systems businesses. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Under the terms of the agreement, Groupe Fives-Lille will purchase the global operations of UNOVA's Landis Grinding Systems. The consideration for the purchased assets consists of $69 million in cash, a $10 million two-year note plus the assumption of certain liabilities including pension and other post-retirement obligations. The purchase price is subject to possible adjustments based on net working assets at closing. The Company's cash and cash equivalent position at the end of the third quarter was $180 million, an increase of $7 million during the third quarter. The increase in cash reflects the use of $8.5 million for debt repayment, reducing the Company's total debt to $100 million. The Company's net cash, defined as cash and cash equivalents less total debt, increased approximately $15 million to a record $80 million.
