NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts
_______________________
1. Management representation
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of March 31, 1998, the results of operations for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 and cash flows
for the nine months then ended.
2. Non-recurring charge
During the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 the Company
incurred an acquisition-related charge of $5.2 million or $.05 per
share. The independent appraisal of Computer Technology Corporation, a
February 1998 acquisition, attributed a portion of the goodwill premium
to in-process research and development. Generally accepted accounting
principles require research and development to be expensed. The charge
was recorded to Cost of sales within the North American Industrial
segment.
3. Earnings per share
Earnings per share have been computed according to Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS 128 replaced
the previously reported "primary earnings per share" with "basic earnings
per share" and replaced "fully diluted earnings per share" with "diluted
earnings per share". This Statement had no effect on the resulting earnings
per share for the Company. Earnings per share were computed as follows:

PARKER-HANNIFIN CORPORATION
FORM 10-Q
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
AND COMPARABLE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME
Net sales reached a record $1.20 billion for the quarter, an increase of
14.3 percent for the third quarter and 14.1 percent for the nine-month
period ended March 31, 1998. Without the effect of acquisitions, the
increases would have been 11.3 percent and 11.7 percent, respectively.
The growth occurred throughout all segments of the business, reflecting
strong demand for both Industrial and Aerospace products.
Income from operations was $151.0 million for the current third quarter
and $401.5 million for the current nine months, before an acquisition-
related charge of $5.2 million for in-process research & development
purchased as part of the acquisition of Computer Technology Corporation.
Excluding the non-recurring charge, this resulted in an increase of 15.4
percent for the quarter and 29.6 percent for the nine months compared to
the prior year. After the charge, Income from operations was $145.8
million, an 11.5 percent increase for the quarter, and $396.3 million, a
27.9 percent increase for the nine months.
Excluding the R&D charge, Income from operations as a percent of sales
remained fairly steady at 12.6 percent for the quarter but increased to
11.8 percent from 10.4 percent for the nine months. After the charge,
Income from operations as a percent of sales was 12.2 percent for the
quarter and 11.7 percent for the current nine months. Cost of sales,
without the R&D charge in 1998, improved as a percent of sales to 75.8
percent from 76.5 percent for the quarter and to 76.5 percent from 77.8
percent for the nine months. The improvement in gross profit is the
result of better absorption of fixed costs due to higher volume. In
addition, as acquisitions become more integrated they are contributing
higher margins. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
percent of sales, increased to 11.6 percent from 11.1 percent for the
quarter, but year-to-date have decreased to 11.7 percent from 11.8
percent. The quarterly increase is primarily due to incentive programs
and initiatives to penetrate new markets.
Interest expense increased $1.7 million to $13.5 million for the quarter
due to increased borrowings to complete acquisitions. Year-to-date
interest has remained steady compared to the prior year.
The effective tax rate for year-to-date 1998 is 36.0 percent, compared to
a rate of 35.5 percent in fiscal 1997. The increase in rate is the result
of receiving no tax benefit for the acquisition-related $5.2 million
charge for in-process R&D.
Net income as a percent of sales, without the R&D charge, remained at 7.4
percent for the quarter and improved to 7.0 percent from 6.1 percent for
the nine months. After the charge, Net income was $83.2 million or 7.0
percent of sales for the quarter and $232.8 million or 6.9 percent of
sales for the nine months.
Backlog increased to $1.67 billion at March 31, 1998 compared to $1.47
billion the prior year and $1.49 billion at June 30, 1997. Approximately
one-half of the increase is due to internal growth within the Aerospace
Segment. The growth within the Industrial Segment was approximately two-
thirds internal growth and one-third from acquisitions.
- 8 -
<PAGE>
The Company's performance benefited from strong order-entry rates and a
high level of capacity utilization in North America for both Industrial
and Aerospace products. Current order-entry rates reflect a steady
economy and favorable business climate for the remainder of the fiscal
year. With favorable market conditions, management anticipates continuing
improvement during the fourth quarter.
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION BY INDUSTRY
INDUSTRIAL - The Industrial Segment achieved the following Net sales
increases in the current year when compared to the equivalent prior-year
period:
Period ending March 31,
Three Months Nine Months
Industrial North America 15.0 % 16.8 %
Industrial International 10.0 % 6.0 %
Total Industrial 13.4 % 13.2 %
Without the effect of acquisitions completed within the past 12 months,
the increases in Net sales would have been:
Period ending March 31,
Three Months Nine Months
Industrial North America 11.4 % 13.8 %
Industrial International 6.2 % 3.0 %
Total Industrial 9.7 % 10.2 %
Without the significant impact of changes in currency rates, but with the
effect of acquisitions, volume for the Industrial International
operations for the third quarter increased over 19 percent and the nine-
month increase was approximately 18 percent.
Operating income for the Industrial Segment, before the acquisition-
related charge of $5.2 million for in-process R & D, increased 6.8
percent for the quarter and 22.8 percent for the nine months. Industrial
North American Operating income, before the charge, increased 7.6 percent
for the quarter and 19.5 percent for the nine months. After the charge,
North American Operating income was $93.9 million, a 1.9 percent increase
for the quarter and $266.4 million, a 17.3 percent increase for the nine
months. Industrial International Operating income improved 3.9 percent
for the quarter and 39.1 percent for the nine months.
As a percent of sales, Industrial North American Operating income, before
the R&D charge, was 15.4 percent compared to 16.4 percent for the prior-
year quarter. Nine-month Operating income as a percent of sales improved
to 14.9 percent from 14.5 percent. Industrial International Operating
income decreased to 8.1 percent from 8.5 percent for the quarter, but
increased to 7.5 percent from 5.7 percent for the nine months.
The North American Industrial markets remain healthy. Customers in the
better-performing industrial markets during the period were manufacturers
of light and heavy-duty trucks, agricultural & construction equipment and
machine tools, in addition to the telecommunications and processing
industries. Related markets within Europe are also experiencing steady
growth.
Total Industrial Segment backlog increased 18.8 percent compared to
March 31, 1997 and 17.7 percent since June 30, 1997. Nearly one-third
of the increase was the result of acquisitions. The remainder of the
increase was internal growth primarily within the North American
operations. Strong order-entry indicates a continuation of this growth
through the rest of the fiscal year.
- 9 -
<PAGE>
AEROSPACE - Aerospace Segment Net sales were up 17.8 percent for the
quarter and 17.6 percent for the nine months. The continuing high level
of activity reflects robust commercial aircraft deliveries and expanding
volume of commercial repair and overhaul business.
Operating income for the Aerospace Segment increased 60.2 percent for
the quarter and 57.8 percent for the nine-month period. As a percent
of sales Operating income improved to 17.6 percent from 13.0 percent
for the quarter and to 16.1 percent from 12.0 percent for the nine-
month period. Current-year margins are benefiting from improved
capacity utilization due to higher volume. Also, prior-year margins
were affected by the lower margins of the Abex operations which are
now more fully integrated into the segment. In addition, prior-year
margins were impacted by increases to long-term contract reserves
related to several new contracts.
Backlog for the Aerospace Segment increased 11.0 percent from March 31,
1997 and 9.53 percent since June 30, 1997. Current order-entry rates
indicate a continuation of this growth.
CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
Working capital decreased to $766.7 million at March 31, 1998 from $783.6
million at June 30, 1997 with the ratio of current assets to current
liabilities decreasing to 1.8 to 1. The decline in working capital was
primarily due to an increase in Notes payable which was only partially
offset by an increase in Inventories.
Notes payable increased $185.4 million since June 30, 1997 to finance
recent acquisitions. The debt to debt-equity ratio increased to 31.2
percent at March 31, 1997 from 24.5 percent at June 30, 1997.
Inventories increased $145.4 million since June 30, 1997. Acquisitions
contributed $30.4 million of the increase. The majority of the increase
occurred within the North American Industrial and Aerospace operations.
Months supply increased slightly, primarily within the Aerospace
operations.
Other fluctuations on the Balance Sheet include an increase of $75.9
million in Accounts receivable from June 30, 1997 to March 31, 1998.
Acquisitions contributed $28.4 million of this increase. Higher sales
volume is causing receivables to increase throughout the operations. Days
sales outstanding has remained steady.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Net cash provided by operating activities was $198.1 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to $242.7 million for the same
nine months in 1997. The reduction in cash provided was primarily due to
$128.1 million in cash used for an increase in Inventories in the current
year, compared to $6.5 million cash provided by a decrease in Inventories
in fiscal 1997. In addition, Other accrued liabilities used cash of $2.3
million in fiscal 1998 compared to providing cash of $34.0 million in
fiscal 1997. These additional uses were partially offset by the $51.2
million increase in Net income and Accounts payable providing cash of $5.6
million in fiscal 1998 compared to using cash of $37.9 million in fiscal
1997.
Net cash used in investing activities increased to $328.5 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 1998 compared to $150.2 million for the same
period in fiscal 1997, primarily due to an additional $145.4 million used
for acquisitions. Capital expenditures also used additional cash of $38.4
million in fiscal 1998 compared to fiscal 1997.
Financing activities provided net cash of $105.6 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 1998 as opposed to using cash of $108.1 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The change resulted primarily from
Notes payable providing cash of $187.0 million in fiscal 1998 compared to
using cash of $41.5 million the prior year.
