Eaton Sales Down Slightly From Year Ago Eaton Corporation today an nounced sales of SI .67 billion in the first half of 1980 and net in come of $78.4 million or $2.97 per share. These results compare with $1.74 billion in sales and $91.0 million in net income or $3.50 per share during the same period in 1979. Sales for the second quarter 1980 were $824 million and net income amounted to $29.4 million or $ 1.11 per share. These results compare with $873 million in sales and $46.2 million in net income or $1.78 per share during the same period in 1979. Commenting on the company’s performance, Eaton Chairman E.M. de Windt said, “Eaton’s second quarter results reflect the significant impact the current recession is having on many of our primary markets.” He pointed out that in recent years the company has made progress in expanding into new markets and improving the balance of its businesses, but the recent decline in the North American transportation markets had a significant impact on operating profits. “We have taken a number of steps to reduce operating and ad ministrative expenses in an ef fort to soften the impact of the downturn. Overall, though, we probably have not yet seen the full effects of the current reces sion,” Mr. de Windt said. In reviewing results from Eaton’s operations during the first six months of 1980, James R. Stover, President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, “^es in the transportation seg ment of our business continued their downward trend during the second quarter, caused mainly by the severly depressed condi tions in the North American truck and passenger car markets.” He pointed out that Eaton’s international transporta tion business is still performing well and has helped to cushion the impact from declining sales in North America. Commenting on Eaton’s in dustrial products segment, Mr. Stover said business has held up reasonably well to date, with some units experiencing strong order activity. However, other units in the industrial products segment have experienced a softening of incoming orders during the second quarter, he said. ‘Those operations which serve the energy and electronics markets are still performing strongly; but those related to residential construction and con sumer durables have been severely impacted by the reces sionary trend in those segments of the economy,” he stated. Eaton is a manufacturer of ad vanced technology products ser ving worldwide transportation and industrial markets. The com pany employs 53,000 persons in 165 plants on six continents. 401 South Battleground Hours: Mon.-Sot. 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. puumishino •outhirn homis sinci last Choose from Hundreds of SUPER INFLATION FIGHTERS!
