Sales for fiscal year 2010 declined 26.2 percent to $1.94 billion. Profit for the diversified metals manufacturing company was $45.2 million, compared to a year ago loss of $108.2 million.
"The recession has made the past two years very difficult, but I believe we are a better company today because of the way we have responded," said John P. McConnell, Chairman and CEO.
