SWK shows double-digit growth

Stanley Black & Decker's fourth quarter and full year benefited from sales volume and the impact of acquisitions.

Fourth-quarter sales for one of the nation's iconic tool brands increased 17% to $2.8 billion, with the company's construction and DIY business (CDIY) showing organic growth of 8%.

The company's fourth-quarter gains were attributable to volume (up 5%), price (up 1%) and the impact of acquisitions (11%).

“As we look back on 2011, we are proud of all we accomplished in the face of a choppy and unpredictable global macroeconomic backdrop," said Stanley Black & Decker’s president and CEO, John F. Lundgren.

Earnings for the fourth quarter were $165.3 million, up from $137.8 million in the fourth quarter last year. 

For the full year, Stanley's sales increased 12% to $10.4 billion. Net earnings increased to $674.6 million, up from $198.2 million in 2010.

The CDIY segment is expected to produce low single-digit organic revenue growth in 2012. While weakness is expected in Europe, modest growth in North America and strength in Latin America and Asia are expected, the company said.

So what is "organic growth"

So what is "organic growth" anyway? Stanley, Black&Decker made money in the 4th quarter by promoting a large line of Christmas presents, which is fine, good for them, but that is it.
