Excluding sales from the Selantic and Biach acquisitions and foreign currency rate changes (which unfavorably impacted sales comparisons by $1 million), core sales increased 4% for the first quarter, the result of increased activity in emerging markets and improved demand in the seismic market.
Engineered Solutions segment first quarter net sales increased by $16 million (18%) to $105 million in 2011. Excluding the $3 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency rate changes, core sales grew 22% in the first quarter due to strong global demand from OEMs serving the heavy-duty truck and specialty vehicle markets (primarily agriculture, construction equipment and defense).
Electrical segment operating profit increased to $4 million for the three months ended November 30, 2010 compared to $3 million in the prior year period. Excluding the $2 million of restructuring costs incurred in the prior year, first quarter fiscal 2011 operating profits were lower as a result of expedited freight costs, investments in growth initiatives and temporary inefficiencies as we completed facility consolidations.
Engineered Solutions segment operating profit increased by $9 million (152%) to $14 million during the three months ended November 30, 2010. Operating profits increased as a result of an improved cost structure, higher sales volumes (increased absorption of fixed costs) and $0.5 million of prior year restructuring costs.
First quarter 2010 cash provided by operations was $7 million, despite a $37 million increase in accounts receivable associated with the expiration of the securitization program. Robust cash flow generated from operating activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 resulted from a significant working capital reduction, on account of lower business levels. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility of $22 million funded the repurchase of $23 million of 2% Convertible Notes, $3 million of capital expenditures and the $3 million payment of the annual cash dividend.
