COMMENT Crane Co’s Fluid Handling segment, home to Barnes, Burks, Crown, Deming, Prosser and Weinman pumps, saw fourth quarter 2011 sales increase US$35.8 million, or 13.7%. This included a core sales increase of US$29.9 million (11.4%), an increase in sales from the acquisition of WT Armatur (WTA) of US$4.8 million (1.9%), and favourable foreign currency translation of US$1.0 million (0.4%). The sales increase was broadbased across Fluid Handling and operating margin improved to 13%. Fluid Handling order backlog was US$314 million at
January 2012
31 December 2011, compared with US$329 million at 30 September 2011 and US$272 million at the end of December 2010. Crane’s overall group sales are expected to increase approximately 3–5% in 2012, driven by a core sales increase of 5–6%, incremental sales from the WTA acquisition of less than 1%, partially offset by unfavourable foreign exchange of approximately 2%. The company’s 2012 earnings guidance is US$3.75–3.95 per diluted share, reflecting revenue and profit growth across all segments. ■ www.craneco.com

COMMENT With a solid fourth quarter, Dover Corp delivered a record setting 2011 in terms of revenue, earnings, earnings per share and bookings. Organic revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 6% was driven by broad-based strength in energy, handsets, fluids and industrial end-markets. Solid performances in the Energy, Communication Technologies
and Engineered Systems segments partially offset weakness in Printing & Identification and acquisition-related costs. During 2011 Dover realigned its businesses into a new segment structure to more closely match its targeted growth markets. The Pump Solutions Group is now part of Dover’s Engineered Systems Division. ■ www.dovercorporation.com
