Fiscal 2014 second quarter as reported net income was $253.4 million, or $1.66 earnings per diluted share compared with $181.1 million or $1.19 earnings per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2014 second quarter was $189.9 million, or $1.24 earnings per diluted share. Fiscal 2014 second quarter adjusted net income and earnings per diluted share exclude asset write downs and a previously announced gain associated with a joint venture agreement between Parker Aerospace and GE Aviation.

Cash flow from operations was $540.1 million or 8.5 percent of sales for the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared with $347.3 million or 5.5 percent of sales in the prior year period. Excluding a discretionary contribution to the company’s pension plan of $75 million for the first six months of fiscal 2014 cash flow from operations was 9.7 percent of sales.
“Earnings on an adjusted basis were ahead of what we expected for this quarter as we continue to perform well operationally,” said Chairman, CEO and President, Don Washkewicz. “With continued positive order growth and modestly improved macro-economic trends, we remain optimistic about stronger operating performance in the second half of fiscal year 2014.”

Note on Orders
Orders provide near-term perspective on the company's outlook, particularly when viewed in the context of prior and future quarterly order rates. However, orders are not in themselves an indication of future performance. All comparisons are at constant currency exchange rates, with the prior year restated to the current-year rates. All exclude acquisitions until they can be reflected in both the numerator and denominator. Aerospace comparisons are rolling 12-month average computations. The total Parker orders number is derived from a weighted average of the year-over-year quarterly percent change in orders for Diversified Industrial North America and Diversified Industrial International, and the year-over-year 12-month rolling average of orders for the Aerospace Systems segment.
Note on Non-GAAP Numbers
This press release contains references to (a) sales growth excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and currency exchange rates, (b) net income without the effect of a gain associated with a joint venture agreement and asset write downs, (c) actual and forecasted earnings per diluted share without the effect of a gain associated with a joint venture agreement and asset write downs, and (d) cash flow excluding discretionary contributions to the company’s pension plan. The effects of acquisitions, divestitures, currency exchange rates, gain associated with a joint venture agreement, asset write downs, and pension plan contributions are removed to allow investors and the company to meaningfully evaluate changes in sales, net income, earnings per diluted share, and cash flow on a comparable basis from period to period.
