:BW) today reported that third quarter sales were $135.6 million, up $9.8 million or 8% compared to the third quarter 2004 sales of $125.8 million. Net income for the quarter was $3.9 million, up 14% compared to the prior year. Earnings per share were $0.20 compared to $0.18 for the same quarter of the prior year.

The stronger sales for the third quarter were driven by continued strength in the product applications that the Company serves in the magnetic media, wireless photonics photonics, the science and technology based on and concerned with the controlled flow of photons, or light particles.

The strength in these areas was offset in part by continued weakness in the Company's product applications in the telecommunications Communicating information, including data, text, pictures, voice and video over long distance.

 consecutive quarter where sales were higher than the comparable quarter of the prior year.

While earnings for the third quarter improved when compared to the prior year, results were negatively affected by significantly higher material costs, especially copper, as well as an unfavorable product mix. During the quarter copper prices increased by approximately 17% and negatively affected earnings by approximately $0.8 million. The Company can only pass through to customers a portion of the higher copper cost. This, along with the weaker mix and higher costs of other materials, combined to drive the Company's gross margin down 2.0 points compared to the third quarter of the prior year.

Higher copper prices have negatively impacted earnings by approximately $2.0 million on a year-to-date basis.

The Metal Systems Group's third quarter sales were $73.8 million, down 4% compared to the third quarter of 2004 sales of $76.7 million.

 was $0.2 million, about flat with the third quarter 2004 operating profit of $0.3 million. Operating profit for the first nine months was $6.3 million, up 12% compared to the same period of last year.

Alloy Products' third quarter sales were up 5% to $51.5 million from $48.9 million in the prior year. Approximately 35% of the third quarter sales increase was due to higher copper prices which were passed through to customers. Third quarter sales of Alloy strip products were negatively affected by the normal domestic and European European

 seasonal factors. In addition, demand for our strip products in the telecommunications infrastructure, computer and U.S. automotive electronics markets remained weak throughout the third quarter and as a result, Alloy strip product sales were flat year over year. The softness in these markets was offset in part by the continued progress in the sale of new products targeted for applications in the industrial components markets which include oil and gas, aerospace and heavy equipment. New product sales helped drive Alloy bulk products' revenue up 17% in the third quarter. Alloy Products' margins were negatively impacted by higher copper prices, product mix and the third quarter seasonal factors. Alloy Products year to date sales were $155.1 million which compares to $156.1 million in the prior year. The year to date comparison is negatively affected by the strong demand that existed in the earlier quarters of the prior year which was in part driven by customer inventory builds.

TMI's third quarter sales of $11.8 million were 16% below the third quarter 2004 sales of $14.1 million. Year-to-date sales were $37.1 million, down 13% from the same period last year. TMI's lower sales are a direct result of the continued weakness for their products in their two largest markets, U.S. automotive electronics and telecommunications.

Beryllium Products' third quarter sales of $8.0 million were 11% lower than the third quarter 2004 sales. For the first nine months of the year, sales increased 28% to $33.9 million compared to the same period in 2004. The strong year-to-date sales increase was driven by shipments of materials for the NASA NASA: see National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The third quarter sales were negatively impacted by the continuing delay in defense spending for the new programs that include our materials.

Brush Resources had sales in the third quarter of $2.5 million compared to $4.7 million for the third quarter of 2004. For the first nine month of the year sales were $5.7 million, up 21% compared to the same period last year.

The Microelectronics Group's sales for the third quarter of 2005 were $61.9 million, up 26% compared to $49.0 million in the third quarter of 2004. Sales for the first nine months were $168.9 million, 12% higher than 2004 year-to-date sales of $150.5 million. Operating profit for the third quarter was $5.7 million, up 46% compared to $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2004. Operating profit year to date is $14.1 million, about flat with the same period last year due to new product development costs and an unfavorable mix shift driven by a decline in U.S. automotive and telecommunications infrastructure product shipments.

WAM's third quarter sales were up 34% to $55.6 million compared to $41.5 million for the prior year. Year-to-date, WAM grew 18% to $149.6 million compared to $127.0 million in the prior year. Metal prices that were passed through to customers accounted for 11% of the sales increase for the third quarter and 17% year to date. The sales growth in the third quarter and first nine months of the year is due to the strength of new applications in the magnetic data storage, wireless photonics, handset and semiconductor markets. This strength is expected to continue through the fourth quarter.

Electronic Products' third quarter 2005 sales were $6.3 million and first nine months sales were $19.3 million down 17% as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2004 due to weaker conditions in U.S. automotive, telecommunications infrastructure and defense.

OUTLOOK

The overall outlook in the Company's major markets is largely unchanged. While some improvement has been experienced, the weakness reported earlier in the Company's larger markets, telecommunications infrastructure, computer and automotive electronics continued through the third quarter. The softness in demand for the Company's products in these markets continues to be offset by strength and ongoing growth for the Company's materials and new products in the magnetic media, wireless photonic Dealing with light (photons). See photon and photonics. , handset, semiconductor and industrial components markets.

While the Company's sales outlook, including mix, is somewhat improved from earlier estimates, other factors are now adversely affecting the earnings outlook. Operating margins Operating Margin

 for the third and fourth quarter 2005 had been expected to be consistent with the prior year. However, raw material price increases, primarily copper, as well as unfavorable mix and higher energy costs have driven gross margins down by approximately three percentage points thus far in 2005.

The Company had previously reported that it expected sales growth for the full year to be in the 4% to 8% range. The Company now believes that sales growth for the year will be in the mid to high end of that range. Although lead times are short and forecasting in this market environment continues to be difficult, the Company currently expects fourth quarter sales to be 8% to 12% ahead of the prior year and in the range of $125.0 to $130.0 million. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company shipped approximately $4.8 million of optical mirror material for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope program. Excluding the Webb business from the year-to-year comparisons, the expected fourth quarter growth in the remainder of the Company's markets is in the range of 13% to 17%
