-- Quarterly cash dividend increased 13.3 percent to $.17 from $.15 per share.

Business Conditions and Management Commentary

James O'Leary, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented,

"We are pleased with the record results achieved in the second quarter of 2008. Our two largest segments, Friction Control Products and Velocity Control Products, both had excellent overall performances. Friction Control Products had a record second quarter as sales of turntable bearings to the wind energy market and split roller bearings globally grew significantly. Similarly, Velocity Control Products enjoyed record results with significant growth in its overseas operations and a solid performance domestically.

"Our ongoing expansion in the global wind energy infrastructure market positions us well for the balance of 2008 and beyond. We expect 2008 to be a record year in terms of revenues, net income and earnings per share. Meaningful gains are expected during the latter half of 2008 as additional capacity comes online in our growing wind energy business. We expect wind energy revenues during 2008 to approximate $90 million which compares to $32.8 million in 2007. For the first six months of 2008, we have already exceeded all of 2007 with shipments to date of $34.9 million.

"While we continue to work towards our historical target of 10 - 12 percent earnings per share growth, attainment in 2008 will be more challenging than previously anticipated given current business conditions. Meeting our target in 2008 will be predicated upon an improved flow of immediately shippable orders, or 'book and ship' orders, to our general industrial markets in North America, and upon the funding and release of certain military orders previously expected in the fourth quarter, which are now expected to be delayed due to funding issues, and therefore fall into 2009.

"Also, while increases in material and operating costs sustained over the past year have been thus far offset through proactive remediation steps, this may become increasingly difficult absent relief in the upward pressure on these inputs. Finally, interest income continues to trend lower as market interest rates remain well below prior years' levels. With investable cash balances redeployed into capital projects and the Avon acquisition which will generate meaningfully higher operating earnings and earnings per share contribution in the coming quarters, the near term contribution from interest income will be commensurately lower. The Company expects interest income to approximate $7.0 million in 2008 as compared to $18.1 million in 2007.

"Nonetheless, we expect a record year for revenues, net income and earnings per share as growth in our wind energy business offsets the potential for softening and funding delays in our general industrial and military markets, respectively, during the second half of 2008. Our strategic investments, including the Avon acquisition in 2007, coupled with strong growth internationally, highlight the potential within the wind energy market and for our businesses overall. Coupled with the strength of our balance sheet, our businesses are positioned well to take full advantage of organic and acquisition opportunities to further build on the foundation in place."

Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results

Sales during the second quarter of 2008 were a quarterly record $139.9 million, a 23.4 percent increase compared to $113.4 million during the second quarter of 2007 with particularly strong growth in friction control products and velocity control products. Gross profit equaled $54.2 million or 38.7 percent of sales for the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $48.0 million or 42.3 percent of sales for the second quarter of 2007. This year's gross margin was affected by changes in product mix and the inclusion of Avon whose margins and absolute contribution are negatively impacted in the current period by acquisition accounting requirements. As the impact of the costs associated with the Avon acquisition dissipate, margins on Avon sales should approximate those of Kaydon's other wind energy sales.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses equaled $22.0 million compared to $19.6 million in the prior second quarter.

Operating income was a second quarter record of $32.1 million and equaled 23.0 percent of sales, compared to $28.3 million and 25.0 percent of sales last year. Operating margins were impacted by product mix shifts and Avon purchase accounting.

Second quarter 2008 interest income of $1.7 million declined from the $4.8 million earned during the second quarter of 2007. This decline was due to lower interest rates achieved on lower average investable balances as average interest rates earned have declined from 5.1 percent during last year's second quarter to 2.4 percent this year. Higher capital expenditures, the Avon acquisition, 2007 pension contributions, and stock repurchase actions resulted in lower investable balances.

The effective tax rate during the second quarter of 2008 was 35.4 percent compared with 36.1 percent in the prior second quarter primarily due to an increase in foreign earnings in 2008. The Company currently expects the effective tax rate for 2008 to be 35.4 percent.

Net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $20.3 million or $.64 per share on a diluted basis, based on 34.2 million common shares outstanding. During the second quarter of 2007, Kaydon generated net income of $19.6 million or $.61 per share on a diluted basis, based on 34.8 million common shares outstanding.

Order Entry and Backlog

Order entry during the second quarter of 2008 increased 12.0 percent compared to 2007, achieving a second quarter record of $144.0 million. Including Avon, backlog equaled a record $324.0 million at the end of second quarter 2008, a 60.8 percent increase compared to a backlog of $201.5 million at the end of second quarter 2007, and 1.3 percent higher than the previous quarter-end record achieved at the end of the first quarter of 2008.

Orders booked and backlog are comprised of products expected to be shipped during the next eighteen months. Growth in the Company's wind energy business, which is categorized by larger, discrete orders from major customers, has resulted in a shipping pattern more heavily weighted towards the fourth quarter of 2008 and throughout 2009.

Operating Review

During the second quarter of 2008, sales of friction control products increased $21.8 million or 33.6 percent, to $86.8 million, when compared with second quarter 2007. Sales to the wind energy market more than tripled, and sales of split roller bearings and sales to the medical and heavy equipment markets showed double-digit growth. Sales to the military, machinery and semiconductor markets also increased compared to the prior second quarter but at lower rates of growth. Second quarter 2008 operating income increased to $21.5 million, a 15.7 percent increase compared with $18.6 million in the prior second quarter driven largely by the increased volume.

Operating margins of this segment were affected by product mix shifts as growth in wind energy and split roller bearing products lower the overall blended margin and the inclusion of Avon whose margins are negatively impacted in the short-term by non-cash acquisition accounting requirements.

Second quarter 2008 sales of velocity control products totaled $20.0 million, 23.6 percent over the prior second quarter with a particularly strong performance from the European operations, including the favorable effects of foreign exchange rates. Operating income of $6.1 million, increased 43.9 percent over second quarter 2007, primarily as the result of higher volume, improved pricing, and favorable effects of foreign exchange rates.

Sales of sealing products were $11.7 million compared to $11.5 million in the second quarter of 2007, as higher pricing offset lower volume. Operating income declined to $1.5 million from $2.0 million largely due to inefficiencies and redundant costs being incurred during our previously announced facility relocation.

Sales of the Company's remaining businesses equaled $21.4 million during the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $0.6 million from second quarter 2007 resulting from higher demand for air filtration products and higher pricing for metal alloy products. Operating income was $3.2 million in both the second quarters of 2008 and 2007.

Free Cash Flow, Financial Position and Capital Allocation

The Company's historical ability to generate high free cash flow and its strong balance sheet will enable the Company to prudently return capital to its shareholders through opportunistic share repurchases and periodically increased dividends while proactively pursuing value-enhancing acquisitions. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company paid common stock dividends of $.15 per share or $4.2 million and repurchased 81,800 shares of Company common stock for $4.5 million. Year-to-date share repurchases totaled 258,141 shares for $12.1 million. The Company's third quarter dividend, payable on September 29, 2008, has been increased 13.3 percent to $.17 per share from the previous $.15 per share.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure defined by the Company as net cash from operating activities less capital expenditures, was a negative $1.9 million during the second quarter 2008, as $13.2 million of net cash from operating activities was more than offset by capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $15.1 million during this year's second quarter, or $2.4 million higher than the second quarter last year due to continued investment in capacity expansion, particularly for the wind energy business. Higher than historical capital expenditures will continue in 2008 as the Company continues its wind energy capacity expansion projects. Readers should refer to the attached Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure exhibit for the calculation of free cash flow and the reconciliation of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measure.

The Company currently has investable balances totaling $280.0 million. Because of the strategic capital investments, share repurchases, 2007 pension contributions, and the Avon acquisition made last year, this balance is $94.1 million less than at this time in 2007. In addition, investable balances earned approximately 270 basis points less during this year's second quarter than they did during last year's comparable period. During late 2007 and early 2008, the Company reviewed its investments and proactively reallocated certain amounts to reduce liquidity and valuation risks for certain higher yielding securities.

During the quarter, the Company reduced its outstanding debt by $11.5 million when holders of that portion of the Company's 4% Contingent Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023 presented their notes for conversion into 394,375 shares of common stock. The Company's outstanding debt totaled $188.5 million at June 28, 2008.

Wind Energy Expansion Update

The Company's previously announced expansions of its large turntable bearing operations continue to progress as expected. The Company has recorded sales to the wind energy market of $34.9 million for the first six months of 2008 as compared to $32.8 million for all of 2007 and expects full year sales to equal approximately $90 million.

As a result of the continued strength in demand for specialty bearings utilized by the wind energy industry, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to review options to add capacity to serve this rapidly-growing market. The Company intends to solidify its leadership position in this important end-market and is currently considering options to expand its North American facilities, including its devoted wind energy facility in Monterrey, Mexico, during the next 12 to 36 months. While any expansion decision and the scale, scope, and timing of any incremental investments will be dependent on finalizing customer commitments, the Company believes the long-term strength of this market and our unique position in it will result in further meaningful investments by the Company. With existing infrastructure already in place, the Company believes it is well positioned to expand its presence in this robust market to the benefit of both its customers and its shareholders.

Kaydon's management believes free cash flow, as defined above and a
 non-GAAP measure, is an important indicator of the Company's ability
 to generate excess cash above levels required for capital investment
 to support future growth. However, it should be viewed as
 supplemental data, rather than as a substitute or alternative to the
 comparable GAAP measure.

Kaydon Corp. downgraded to hold at Deutsche Bank; 2Q profit edges estimates - Zibb.com

Kaydon Corp. was downgraded Tuesday to hold from buy at Deutsche Bank, which said second-quarter margin erosion was sharper than expected and that earnings numbers are likely to be revised downwards on the back of commentary that reaching 10% to 12% run-rate growth will be "more challenging than previously anticipated."

The broker, which also maintained its price target of $58 on the stock, said the market is factoring in best-in-class multiples for both the industrial and wind sides of the franchise, but that it could be tempered by a sharper deterioration in the legacy industrial businesses than anticipated.

Earlier, Kaydon reported second-quarter net income of $20.3 million, or 64 cents a share, compared with earnings of $19.6 million, or 61 cents a share, a year earlier.

The mean estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters was for earnings of 63 cents a share.

Revenue for the three months ended June 28 rose 23% to $139.9 million from $113.4 million. Wall Street analysts had, on average, estimated sales of $132.9 million.

Shares of the Ann Arbor, Mich.-based engineered products manufacturer closed Monday at $55.95. Greg Saulnier gs/vj
