Ladish Co., Inc. (www.ladishco.com) (NASDAQ: LDSH) today
reported 2011 first quarter sales of $114.1 million in comparison
to $98.9 million of sales in the first quarter of 2010. The Company
had net earnings of $9.4 million, resulting in per share net income
of $0.60 for the first quarter of 2011, compared to net income of
$5.3 million, or $0.34 per share, in the same period of 2010.
"We're off to a solid start in 2011 with these improved first
quarter results," said Gary J. Vroman, Ladish's President and CEO.
"It's good to see our sales up by 15% over last year, and we are
very pleased about the 77% increase in net income. That tells us we
have managed the growth effectively, keeping operating expenses
under control and benefiting from better fixed cost
absorption."
"Every business unit contributed positively in the first three
months of this year," remarked Vroman. "Our employees have done a
fine job of serving our customers as we prepare for even more
growth in the months and years ahead."
"Demand for our products is robust," observed Vroman. "Year to
date, new orders have exceeded sales, driving our backlog up to
$603 million, versus $503 million at the same time last year. This
20% increase in our order board bodes well for continued financial
success in future periods."

implied in those statements. Examples include statements regarding
the parties' ability to consummate the proposed transaction and
timing thereof, the benefits and impact of the proposed
transaction, including effects on cash flow or earnings, the
combined company's ability to achieve the synergies and value

given that any of the events anticipated by the forward-looking
