"We started the year strongly, however, our performance in the second half of
the year reflected the impact of the ongoing global recession, which resulted
in significantly reduced order rates," said Chairman, CEO and President Don
Washkewicz. "As we had anticipated, our focus on implementing the Win
Strategy throughout much of this decade, has re-shaped our company and allowed
us to weather this downturn much more successfully than in previous
recessions. We are especially pleased with our very strong operating cash
flow, both in the quarter and for the year, and that we maintained total
segment operating margins approaching 10 percent for the year. Additionally,
we are proud of the fact that our decline in operating profit during the
quarter was 32 percent of the decline in revenue, and includes the effect of
acquisitions, inventory reduction, and reductions in force."

Fiscal 2009 fourth quarter sales were $2.2 billion, a decline of 33.9 percent
from $3.3 billion in the same quarter a year ago. Net income for the fourth
quarter declined 80.4 percent to $49.5 million from $252.6 million in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Earnings per diluted share for the quarter
declined 79.2 percent to 31 cents, compared with $1.47 in last year's fourth
quarter. Cash flow from operations in the quarter was $413.1 million, or a
record 18.7 percent of sales, compared with $452.8 million, or 13.5 percent in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. The company used its cash flow to pay
down $321 million in outstanding debt in the quarter.

Reflecting on the quarter Washkewicz added, "Our fourth quarter performance
was influenced by order rates which declined year-over-year and sequentially
from the third quarter levels. This led to a 32 percent decline in organic
sales for the quarter, while foreign currency translation negatively impacted
sales by 5 percent and acquisitions contributed 3 percent to sales. The
decline in sales was the primary driver of lower profitability levels, and our
Industrial International segment was hit particularly hard as reductions in
workforce have taken longer to implement. However, with cash being our
primary focus, I am particularly pleased that fourth quarter cash flow reached
such a strong level. We remain committed to deploying cash to pay down debt
and strengthening our balance sheet to prepare the company to fund future
growth opportunities, while maintaining our long standing dividend increase
record."

"As we move into fiscal 2010, we will continue to manage our business for
cash, while maintaining productivity levels and reducing inventories. Actions
to reduce our workforce to align with customer order rates, a broad-based wage
freeze, reduced work weeks and significantly reduced discretionary spending
are anticipated to benefit us more fully in the year ahead. While many
challenges and uncertainties await, our ability to respond reflects favorably
on our management team and is a credit to the remarkable performance of Parker
employees throughout our company. They have stepped up to the challenges
presented to them with their capabilities, loyalty, perseverance and
sacrifice."

Segment Results
In the Industrial North America segment, fourth-quarter sales declined 33.3
percent to $777.5 million, and operating income declined 67.0 percent to $53.7
million, compared with the same period a year ago. For the full year,
Industrial North America sales declined 12.1 percent to $3.7 billion, and
operating income declined 35.0 percent to $394.9 million, compared with fiscal
2008.

In the Industrial International segment, fourth-quarter sales declined 42.6
percent to $793.2 million, and the segment reported an operating loss of $5.7
million, compared with an operating profit of $213.0 million in the same
period a year ago. For the full year, Industrial International sales
declined 22.2 percent to $3.9 billion, and operating income declined 55.6
percent to $350.7 million, compared with fiscal 2008.

In the Aerospace segment, fourth-quarter sales decreased 11.5 percent to
$451.1 million, and operating income declined 19.7 percent to $58.5 million,
compared with the same period a year ago. For the full year, Aerospace sales
increased 2.5 percent to $1.9 billion, and operating income increased 4.6
percent to $262.0 million, compared with fiscal 2008.

In the Climate & Industrial Controls segment, fourth-quarter sales declined

of $0.9 million, compared with an operating profit of $20.3 million in the
same period a year ago. For the full year, Climate & Industrial Controls
sales decreased 24.4 percent to $795.3 million, and the segment reported an
operating loss of $3.7 million, compared with an operating profit of $59.5
million in fiscal 2008.

Orders
In addition to financial results, Parker also reported a decline of 38 percent
in total orders for the quarter ending June 30, 2009, compared with the same
quarter a year ago. Parker reported the following orders by operating
segment:
-- Orders declined 40 percent in the Industrial North America segment,
compared with the same quarter a year ago.
-- Orders declined 43 percent in the Industrial International segment,
compared with the same quarter a year ago.
-- Orders declined 22 percent in the Aerospace segment on a rolling 12
month average basis.

-- Orders declined 31 percent in the Climate and Industrial Controls
segment, compared with the same quarter a year ago.

Outlook
For fiscal 2010, the company has issued guidance for earnings from continuing
operations in the range of $1.25 to $1.75 per diluted share.

Washkewicz added, "In the year ahead, we will continue to focus on maintaining
a strong balance sheet, managing for cash and maintaining our costs at a level
consistent with reduced demand. We anticipate that conditions will not
improve appreciably in our markets for the balance of this calendar year.
However, near-term challenges aside, the actions that we continue to implement
give me every confidence that we will emerge from this recession far stronger
than we have ever been, poised to benefit significantly from the recovery."

Notes on Orders
Orders provide near-term perspective on the company's outlook, particularly
when viewed in the context of prior and future quarterly order rates. However,
orders are not in themselves an indication of future performance. All
comparisons are at constant currency exchange rates, with the prior year
restated to the current-year rates. All exclude acquisitions until they can be
reflected in both the numerator and denominator. Aerospace comparisons are
rolling 12-month average computations. The Total Parker orders number is
derived from a weighted average of the year-over-year quarterly percent change
in orders for the Industrial North America, Industrial International, and
Climate and Industrial Controls segments, and the year-over-year 12-month
rolling average of orders in the Aerospace segment.

Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements contained in this and other written and oral
reports are made based on known events and circumstances at the time of
release, and as such, are subject in the future to unforeseen uncertainties
and risks. All statements regarding future performance, earnings projections,
events or developments are forward-looking statements. It is possible that the
future performance and earnings projections of the company and individual
segments may differ materially from current expectations, depending on
economic conditions within its mobile, industrial and aerospace markets, and
the company's ability to maintain and achieve anticipated benefits associated
with announced realignment activities, strategic initiatives to improve
operating margins, actions taken to combat the effects of the current
recession, and growth, innovation and global diversification initiatives. A
change in economic conditions in individual markets may have a particularly
volatile effect on segment results. Among the other factors which may affect
future performance are: changes in business relationships with and purchases
by or from major customers or suppliers, including delays or cancellations in
shipments, disputes regarding contract terms or significant changes in
financial condition; uncertainties surrounding timing, successful completion
or integration of acquisitions; threats associated with and efforts to combat
terrorism; uncertainties surrounding the ultimate resolution of outstanding
legal proceedings, including the outcome of any appeals; competitive market
conditions and resulting effects on sales and pricing; increases in raw
material costs that cannot be recovered in product pricing; the company's
ability to manage costs related to employee retirement and health care
benefits and insurance; and global economic factors, including manufacturing
activity, air travel trends, currency exchange rates, difficulties entering
new markets and general economic conditions such as inflation, deflation,
interest rates and credit availability. The company makes these statements as
of the date of this disclosure, and undertakes no obligation to update them.
