Contributes $17.1 million to Employee Profit Sharing and Savings
Plan, issued on Wednesday, February 22, by Baldor Electric Company
over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the third
paragraph, third sentence, should read "Baldor's sales in 2007 were
$1.82 billion" rather than "$1.82 million" as originally issued
inadvertently. Complete, corrected release follows: FORT SMITH,
Ark., Feb. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Baldor Electric Company
(NYSE:BEZ) markets, designs, and manufactures industrial electric
motors, power transmission products, drives, and generators and is
based in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Today Baldor announced the results
of its 2007 employee profit sharing plan contribution. This year
marks the 51st anniversary of the Baldor Employee Profit Sharing
and Savings Plan. In 1957, Baldor Electric Company began sharing
its profits as a way of sharing the company's financial success
with its employees. This philosophy still applies today and is as
equally important as it was back in 1957. The plan also reinforces
the significant role Baldor employees play throughout the year in
taking care of our customers and contributing to the company's
success. Today, Baldor contributes approximately 12% of the pre-tax
earnings to the plan. As a result of record company sales and
earnings, this year's profit sharing contribution is $17,135,952.
Baldor's sales in 2007 were $1.82 billion and profits were $94
million. For 2007, there were 5,439 eligible employees in Baldor's
profit sharing plan and the average contribution was 3.5 weeks of
pay. Baldor employees who have worked for the company for two years
or more are included in the plan. In the past 5 years, the company
has contributed $48,364,944 to the profit sharing plan on behalf of
its employees. Participants in the Baldor Employee Profit Sharing
and Savings Plan have approximately $270 million invested in the
plan. In addition, employees retiring from Baldor in 2007 withdrew
over $20 million from the plan. The plan is fully funded each year
and Baldor employees have 10 investment choices for their money.
John McFarland, Chairman and CEO said, "Baldor feels it's the right
thing to do to share profits with our employees and has been doing
so for 51 years. Our profit sharing plan is a great way for our
employees to see how their efforts to continually improve
productivity, quality and customer service enable the company to
increase profits and our profit sharing contribution. Our profit
sharing plan is also an outstanding way for Baldor employees to
accumulate money for retirement." Baldor Electric Company,
headquartered in Fort Smith, Arkansas, was founded in 1920 and has
approximately 8,000 employees across the United States, Canada,
Latin America, Europe and the Far East. Baldor also sells its
products in more that 60 countries throughout the world.
