CLEVELAND, Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Parker Hannifin Corporation (NYSE: PH), the global leader in motion and control technologies, today reported results for the fiscal 2013 second quarter ended December 31, 2012. Fiscal 2013 second quarter sales of $3.07 billion were essentially flat compared with $3.11 billion in the prior year quarter. Acquisitions contributed 4 percent to sales which was largely offset by a reduction in organic sales, particularly internationally. Net income was $181.1 million compared with $242.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, primarily reflecting reduced organic sales volume. Fiscal 2013 second quarter earnings per diluted share were $1.19 compared with $1.56 in the prior year quarter.
Cash flow from operations for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was $347.3 million, or 5.5 percent of sales, compared with $563.4 million, or 8.9 percent of sales for the first six months of fiscal 2012. Cash flow from operations for the first six months of fiscal 2013 included a $225.6 million discretionary contribution to the company's pension plan. Excluding this discretionary contribution, cash flow from operations as a percent of sales was 9.1 percent for the first six months of fiscal 2013.
"We performed well in the second quarter considering continued economic weakness across all the regions we operate in," said Chairman, CEO and President, Don Washkewicz. "Although economic conditions may improve, we continued to take prudent actions to strengthen profitability and cash flow as we enter the second half of the year, including cost reduction initiatives and adjustments to planned capital expenditures."

Outlook
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, the company has maintained guidance for earnings from continuing operations in the range of $6.15 to $6.75 per diluted share. Fiscal 2013 guidance includes an expected year-over-year increase in domestic qualified pension expense of approximately $0.35 per diluted share due to accounting regulations which require the use of a lower discount rate based on current market conditions.
Washkewicz added, "Following the natural, annual cycle of our business, we anticipate that the second half of our fiscal year will be stronger than the first half. In addition, ongoing actions to reduce costs and maintain cash flow should position us for a strong finish to fiscal year 2013."
