(Thomson Reuters ONE) -


SHELTON, CT.  (July 18, 2013) - Hubbell Incorporated (NYSE:  HUBA, HUBB) today
reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Net sales in the second quarter of 2013 were $801.3 million, an increase of 3%
compared to the $778.4 million reported in the second quarter of 2012.
 Operating income was $132.1 million, or 16.5% of net sales, compared to $124.5
million, or 16.0% of net sales, for the comparable period of 2012.  Net income
in the second quarter of 2013 was $82.1 million versus $77.5 million reported in
the second quarter of 2012. Earnings per diluted share were $1.37 in the second
quarter of 2013 compared to $1.29 reported in the second quarter of 2012.  Free
cash flow (defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was
$52.8 million in the second quarter of 2013 versus $49.9 million reported in the
comparable period of 2012.

For the first six months of 2013 net sales were $1.5 billion, an increase of 3%
compared to the same period last year.  Operating income was $229.8 million, or
14.9% of net sales, compared to $226.2 million, or 15.1% of net sales, for the
comparable period of 2012.  Net income in the first six months of 2013 was
$148.0 million, an increase of 5% compared to the $140.7 million reported in the
first six months of 2012.  Earnings per diluted share were $2.47, or 6% above
the $2.34 reported for the comparable period of 2012.  Free cash flow was $82.5
million compared to $83.6 million reported in the first six months of 2012.

OPERATIONS REVIEW

David G. Nord, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "I am pleased with
our performance in the quarter which included both higher sales and operating
margin compared to 2012.  The sales increase was due to the impact of
acquisitions while our base business was in line with last year's strong




results.  From a profitability perspective, we were able to expand our operating
margin by fifty basis points despite incurring costs associated with facility
consolidations in our Power segment.  I am also pleased to announce that we
completed the acquisition of Connector Manufacturing Company during the second
quarter. CMC manufactures high quality mechanical and compression connectors and
has been added to our Electrical segment."

Mr. Nord continued "The macroeconomic environment in the second quarter modestly
improved from the beginning of the year. U.S. non-residential activity
benefitted from higher levels of renovation projects, particularly for our
lighting businesses.  North American electrical utility demand was below the
prior year which benefitted from unusually strong spending due to favorable
weather conditions and high levels of transmission project activity. Demand for
our industrial businesses was mixed while the residential markets remained
strong."

SEGMENT REVIEW

The comments and year-over-year percentages in this segment review are based on
second quarter results in 2013 and 2012.

Electrical segment net sales in the second quarter of 2013 increased 5% to
$564.5 million compared to $536.3 million reported in the second quarter of
2012.  The increase was primarily due to acquisitions which contributed 3% to
sales in the quarter.  Organic volume increased due to higher shipments of
lighting products partially offset by weaker industrial demand, most notably in
high voltage test equipment.  Compared to the second quarter of 2012, operating
income increased 9% to $88.9 million, or 15.7% of net sales.  The increase in
operating income was primarily due to the benefit of pricing and material costs
while productivity offset all other cost increases.

Hubbell's Power segment net sales in the second quarter of 2013 were $236.8
million compared to $242.1 million reported in the second quarter of 2012.  The
decrease was primarily due to lower levels of project related transmission
spending and weaker distribution sales partially offset by the favorable impact
of an acquisition.  Compared to the second quarter of 2012, operating income
declined slightly to $43.2 million.  Operating margin in the second quarter of
2013 was 18.2% compared to 17.9% reported in the comparable period of 2012. The
increase in operating margin was primarily due to a favorable product mix
partially offset by facility consolidation costs.

SUMMARY & OUTLOOK

Mr. Nord commented, "Looking to our full year outlook for 2013, we expect
overall sales to increase in the 4 to 6% range and operating margin to expand
approximately 30 basis points. The sales outlook has increased slightly due to
the impact of our recent acquisition.  From a profitability perspective, the
impact of our acquisition activity will slightly mute the level of operating
margin improvement."

Mr. Nord concluded, "The first half results were largely in line with
expectations and we now turn our attention to navigating through the second half
of the year where we will be focused on integrating our recent acquisitions and
driving margin improvement.  Our financial position remains strong and we plan
to continue deploying our capital in value creating ways.  I am encouraged that
the investments we have made in productivity programs and business development
have translated into increased profitability."
