Hubbell Inc., Orange, Conn., reported net sales in first quarter of $570.5 million, a decrease of three percent compared to the $585.6 million it reported in the first quarter of 2009. The company's operating income was $65.7 million, 15 percent above 2009.

Timothy Powers, chairman, president, and CEO, said, “The sales decline in the quarter was primarily due to weaker demand for our non-residential construction products, decreased shipments for our high-voltage test equipment and lower storm-related volume in our power business. Importantly, our incoming orders exceeded our billings for the first quarter, resulting in a $33 million increase in backlog.”
