(Source: Business Wire)

Actuant Corporation (NYSE:ATU) completed the sale of its Acme Aerospace
and BH Electronics businesses during the fiscal quarter ended August 31,
2009. As a result of these divestitures, the Company has reclassified
the historical operating results of these businesses to discontinued
operations (see attachment).
On Wednesday September 30, 2009 the Company will be announcing financial
results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended August 31, 2009.
Results will include approximately $13 million of earnings from
discontinued operations, net of income taxes, primarily reflecting the
net gain on the divestitures noted above. During the quarter, the
Company recognized an approximately $2 million pre-tax debt
extinguishment charge upon the retirement of its bank term loan with the
proceeds from its June equity offering. Excluding discontinued
operations, restructuring costs and the debt extinguishment charge, the
Company's fourth quarter results from continuing operations will be
within the $275-$295 million sales and $0.12-$0.20 diluted earnings per
share guidance ranges it provided in its June 17, 2009 press release.

(1) Net earnings and diluted earnings per share excluding restructuring charges, impairment charges, income tax adjustments / credits, debt extinguishment charges and discontinued operations represent net earnings and diluted earnings per share per the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations net of charges or credits for items to be highlighted for comparability purposes.These measures should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or diluted earnings per share as an indicator of the company's operating performance.However, this presentation is important to investors for understanding the operating results of the current portfolio of Actuant companies.The total of the individual components may not equal due to rounding.
(2) EBITDA represents net earnings before financing costs, net, income tax expense, depreciation & amortization, minority interest and discontinued operations.EBITDA is not a calculation based upon generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).The amounts included in the EBITDA calculation, however, are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations data. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or operating profit as an indicator of the company's operating performance, or as an alternative to operating cash flows as a measure of liquidity.Actuant has presented EBITDA because it regularly reviews this as a measure of the company's ability to incur and service debt.In addition, EBITDA is used by many of our investors and lenders, and is presented as a convenience to them.However, the EBITDA measure presented may not always be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the components of the calculation.The total of the individual quarters may not equal the annual total due to rounding.
