Additional Data on Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2005 Results

, and specialty ball products. Sales of continuing operations for the full year 2005 were $354.6 million, an increase of 19.5 percent compared to $296.7 million during 2004.

Gross profit from continuing operations equaled $37.2 million or 41.5 percent of sales during the fourth quarter of 2005 as compared to $29.9 million or 41.4 percent of sales during the fourth quarter of 2004. Although higher material costs continued to have an impact on gross margins during the fourth quarter of 2005, they were substantially offset by selling price increases initiated during the third quarter of 2005. Affected by operating inefficiencies during the first half of the year related to new programs for military and wind power applications and by higher material costs that were not offset by selling price increases, gross profit from continuing operations equaled $139.0 million or 39.2 percent of sales during the full year 2005 as compared to $121.2 million or 40.8 percent of sales during the full year 2004.

Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of continuing operations equaled $17.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2005, as compared to $14.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2004. Both amounts represented 19.7 percent of sales. During the fourth quarter, costs associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance declined $1.1 million when compared to 2004. At the same time, we experienced increased SG&A costs related to higher sales volumes and increased amortization primarily associated with recent acquisitions. SG&A expenses of continuing operations equaled $68.9 million, or 19.4 percent of sales, during the full year 2005 as compared to $58.8 million, or 19.8 percent of sales, during full year 2004.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2005 was 28.7 percent, reflecting $1.1 million of reductions to the tax provision resulting from several tax audit settlements during the quarter related to deductions previously not recognized for financial reporting purposes.

Segment Discussion

During the fourth quarter of 2005 sales of the Friction and Motion Control Products segment equaled $51.0 million, a 22.9 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2004. This segment continues to benefit from increased demand for specialty bearings utilized in defense, heavy equipment, wind power, and various industrial markets. Operating income during this year's fourth quarter equaled $14.6 million, a 36.4 percent increase compared to the $10.7 million generated in the fourth quarter of 2004. Although fourth quarter 2005 operating income continued to be affected by higher, but moderating, material costs and subcontracting expenses, these higher costs were substantially offset by selling price and capacity increases initiated during the third quarter. During 2005, sales of the Friction and Motion Control Products segment increased $31.2 million, to $195.0 million, or 19.0 percent when compared with 2004. Operating income increased $8.6 million or 20.9 percent, to $49.5 million.

Sales for the fourth quarter 2005 of the Velocity Control Products segment were $11.0 million compared to sales of $12.3 million for the fourth quarter 2004. Due in part to lower Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs at certain foreign locations, fourth quarter operating income increased $0.6 million, to $1.8 million. Aided by the small product line acquisition completed in September September: see month.  2004, full year 2005 sales of this segment increased 5.5 percent, to $53.8 million, compared with 2004. Operating income increased to $12.2 million compared to $11.8 million in 2004.

Fourth quarter sales of the Sealing Products segment increased $3.1 million, or 45.0 percent, to $10.0 million as the segment benefited from increased demand from all its key markets. As was previously disclosed dis·close

Kaydon's management believes free cash flow, 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 GAAP performance measure.

Kaydon's management believes EBITDA, or earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization, a non-GAAP measure, is a gauge
of financial strength from continuing operations before financing
costs, investment income, taxes on income and non-cash charges.  In
addition, EBITDA is widely used by financial analysts and investors,
and is utilized in measuring compliance with financial covenants in
the Company's credit agreement. Accordingly, EBITDA is a determinant
of the Company's capacity to incur additional senior capital to
enhance future profit growth and cash flow growth.  However, it should
be viewed as supplemental data, rather than as a substitute or
alternative to the GAAP performance measure.
