MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Quarterly and Year-to-Date Earnings
Mueller Industries, Inc. (NYSE: MLI), announced today that net income in the third quarter was $15.5 million, or 41 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $514.2 million. This compares with net income of $10.5 million, or 27 cents per diluted share, on net sales of $585.8 million in the third quarter of 2011.
Year-to-date, the Company earned $66.0 million, or $1.72 per diluted share. For the same period of 2011, net income was $73.4 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, which includes a favorable litigation settlement gain of 18 cents per diluted share. Net sales for the first nine months of 2012 were $1.69 billion compared with net sales of $1.93 billion for the same period a year ago.
In the third quarter, the Company repurchased 10,422,859 shares of its outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $427.4 million, or $41.00 per share. As of the end of the third quarter, the total common stock outstanding was 27,970,180 shares (excluding dilutive equity awards). The privately negotiated transaction significantly reduced the outstanding shares which should result in significant accretion to earnings per share in future periods. On a pro forma basis (assuming the repurchase occurred at the beginning of the period), net income for the third quarter of 2012 would have been 51 cents per diluted share.

Business Outlook
Regarding the outlook, Greg Christopher, CEO said, "We agree with the many economists who believe the construction industry is in the process of recovery. Most predict that 2013 will be a much better year for housing and thereafter commercial construction.
"Absent disruptions to the market from potential changes in federal tax and spending policies, we should see improved demand levels for our products, especially as we move into the seasonally stronger spring months."
