Amphenol   continues to be a strong generator of cash and generated $146 million of cash from operations and used $15 million in capital expenditures. The company ended the quarter with cash and equivalents of $307.6 million. Total debt of $792 million was down from $821 million at the end of the previous quarter.
Based on constant exchange rates and a continuous improving demand trends, management expects revenues between $720 million and $735 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, up 0.4% – 2.5% sequentially. Management added that although economic conditions remain uncertain, the company expects stabilization of demand in most markets and improvement in demand in some markets.
Amphenol  achieved a book-to-bill ratio of 1.04 to 1, which is positive for the first time since the beginning of the economic downturn in 2008. Earnings per share for the fourth quarter are projected between 47 cents and 49 cents.
We remain optimistic about Amphenol’s long-term growth prospects in the mobile devices business. Demand for mobile phones remains strong. Beyond mobile phones, the company continues to expand the use of its products into fast growing sub-markets such as PDAs, laptops, and desktop computers. The military and aerospace markets also offer strong scope of growth in 2010 as the economy recovers.
Amphenol  Corporation designs and manufactures connectors and interconnecting systems that are used primarily to conduct electrical and optical signals for a wide range of sophisticated electronic applications.
Certain industrial applications involve monitoring and control of industrial processes, together with data acquisition, in harsh environments, and sometimes even in working areas where explosive atmospheres can be present. For applications of this type, the consequences of the tiniest spark can be catastrophic. Hence the necessity of using specific equipment that is compatible with the dangerousness of the working zone in question.
These explosive atmosphere zones Amphenol  are covered by drastic regulations stemming from a European directive, the ATEX (Explosive Atmosphere) regulations, which define three main zones. Thus electronic equipment with ATEX Zone 2 classification is compatible with working atmospheres that are temporarily and/or slightly explosive, while equipment marked ATEX Zone 1 can be used in zones that frequently contain explosive atmospheres. ATEX Zone 0 equipment, for its part, is the only type that can be used in constantly explosive atmospheres.
To transmit signals outside dangerous zones to completely safe data processing areas, Amphenol has developed a hardened 5-port Ethernet Switch, the RJ Switch. Pepperl+Fuchs, the German manufacturer of sensors and electronic components dedicated to industrial automation, wanted to occupy that niche market, so it was seeking to enrich its offer with a high-quality product. Quite logically, it selected the Amphenol   RJ Switch, which it now sells under the terms of an agreement signed with the American manufacturer.
