shares in oregon’s other fortune 500 company — hint, not nike inc. — fell more than 5 percent tuesday after the rapidly expanding metals-parts maker reported a 23 percent drop in quarterly earnings. nike shox portland’s precision castparts corp. missed analysts’ expectations as second-quarter sales plunged 28 percent to $1.3 billion. but mark donegan, the hard-driving manufacturing manager who runs the company, impressed stock analysts during a 7 a.m. webcast with productivity gains that precision has wrung from its factories during the recession. donegan, precision’s chairman and chief executive, said the company, which makes components for aerospace and other industries, has improved operating margins even as revenues decline. “we’re looking at record productivities at most of our factories,” said donegan, 53. “we’ve been able to focus the operation on those areas of opportunity rather than kind of sit back and be victims.” precision castparts, with $6.9 billion in annual sales, compared to the $19.2 billion raked in by nike, cuts a lower profile at home than the beaverton-area sneaker giant. in contrast to nike’s marketing glitz, precision has used nuts-and-bolts manufacturing and numerous acquisitions to nike shox reach its spot on fortune magazine’s list of the largest public companies. so donegan’s pitch in tuesday’s earnings call played up labor savings, cost structures, maintenance shutdowns and a campaign to reuse every last scrap of waste produced in the manufacturing chain. “dust, sludge, everything has value to us right now,” donegan said. “the teams have been very successful in finding ways of men’s nike shox r2 getting the metallics out of things that we used to pay to dispose of in landfills.” in addition precision, with about 20,000 employees, has cut outsourcing to pull work inside the company. it has shut down partially operating heat-treat machines to concentrate work more efficiently. it has moved some production to its mexican operations to save money. scotland’s caledonian alloys group — one of 13 companies acquired by precision during a six-year, $3.5 billion acquisition binge — leads the effort to recycle metal chips, bar ends, forging flash and other byproducts. resulting savings have buoyed margins as revenues drop, impressing observers such as j.b. groh, senior aerospace analyst at d.a. davidson & co. “typically,” groh said, “you don’t get improved margins on declining revenues.” precision improved margins from continuing operations by 3.4 percentage points between fiscal 2009’s second quarter and the same period this year, ending sept. 27. therefore the company, which is accustomed to making 30 to 35 cents on each additional sales dollar, did not see net operating profit erode at a corresponding men’s nike shox r2 rate when sales declined. “we’re going to fight like hell to hold onto that,” donegan said. “we’re not at the end of this road. there’s not a single facility i could walk in and say, ‘great job. you’re done and i’m moving on.’” precision’s second-quarter sales dropped from $1.8 billion last fiscal year to $1.3 billion this year, as aerospace giants cut purchases and the company shut forging plants for maintenance and repairs. “you either do the repairs or you have a significant catastrophic failure,” donegan said. precision earned $1.54 per diluted share in the second quarter compared to $1.88 a share in the same quarter a year ago. donegan told analysts he had expected the second quarter would be “gut-check time.” he said the second quarter “certainly appears to have been the bottom,” as sales bombed for business jets whose parts the company supplies. as sales pick men’s nike shox r2 up, precision managers plan to call back laid-off workers — the most productive and highly trained first. they anticipate a gradual controlled recovery in the general industrial business. view full sizeprecision continues to digest carlton forge works, a paramount, calif., maker of seamless rolled rings for aerospace customers, acquired recently for $850 million. donegan said he might hold off on acquisitions for another six to nine months if carlton had more than one plant to be absorbed. but he said precision could buy another company anytime. “again, at the right price, at the right value, at the right multiple,” donegan said. precision shares fell $5.61, or nike shox ,nike men’s nike shox ,women’s nike shox 5.36 percent, tuesday to $99.11 on the new york stock exchange.

nike innovation chieftinker hatfield doesn’t do things quietly. his home in the gray-shingled town of gearhart, ore., is orange and green. his portland, ore., home is the stage for huge parties (complete with musical acts) as well as fierce badminton games usually featuring mr. hatfield’s three daughters.”riling up the natives is part of my job as a designer,” said mr. hatfield. a sprightly 57-year-old ex-pole vaulter, he air max 360 is best known for designing most of nike’s air jordans and is credited with helping turn sneakers into collectibles. summer camp comes home view slideshow nike air max alexis andrews’camp hatfield,’ includes a lookout tower and an outdoor fireplace topped with a harry potter-style hatso when word spread that mr. hatfield was building a third home at this conservative lakefront community, neighbors grew so alarmed that mr. hatfield hand-delivered a handwritten letter featuring colorful drawings of the house plans as well as reassurances that the home wouldn’t turn the neighborhood into a media circus. “my job does involve lots of interaction with celebrity athletes, musicians and movie stars,” he wrote. “a few of them have become good friends. but the reality is we don’t expect any visits. if it does happen it would be hush-hush, in and out, no paparazzi, no rvs.” in august mr. hatfield completed camp hatfield as a gift to his wife jackie. a fit 55-year-old with long dark hair, she majored in recreation and park management and always wanted to be a camp director. sitting on lake pend oreille, the 3,300-square-foot home looks like three homes on top of each other, with its siding painted red, purple green and blue. there’s a 40-foot lookout tower, a crooked gazebo-like structure dubbed “gilligan’s island” and an outdoor fireplace whose chimney pipe is topped with a rendering of a harry potter hat.”his creativity is totally different from the norm. everything he does comes from that creativity and there’s always a story behind it,” says michael jordan, the former pro-basketball player.while mr. jordan has no plans to visit, gabrielle reece, the former champion volleyball player and model whose nike shoes mr. hatfield also designed, says she’s trying to convince her husband, surfer laird hamilton, to head on over. “it’s like, ‘go ride your bike and get dirty and camp out,’ yet at the same time it’s sophisticated,” she says. “that’s the way their houses are and that’s how they are.”view full imagehatfield familya side view of ‘camp hatfield’the house’s layout was inspired by mrs. hatfield’s experience as a girl at a sanborn western camps in colorado. there’s a room that sleeps 12 in bunk beds with brown and orange comforters, each with its own reading light and storage crate. the “mess hall” is an open kitchen and a table that seats 24. a nike air max celtic-looking “ch” logo designed by mr. hatfield to establish “esprit de corps” adorns posts, railings, ceilings and the mailbox. last august the hatfields invited some 30 friends and relatives ranging in age from 10 months to 77 years old for a two-week session. after dinner, mrs. hatfield, armed with a clipboard, went over announcements (who was coming and who was leaving the next day) and the rules (always put the toilet seat down) and assigned chores (sweeping the porch, cooking duty). “she’s the camp director. everybody listens to her,” says pearl hatfield, married to mr. hatfield’s brother. “it’s tinker’s design and jackie’s spirit.”campers then signed on for the next day’s activities: waterskiing, wake-boarding, windsurfing, mountain-bike rides and morning runs. crafts on a long table on the porch included making frames from collected twigs. on “field day” the couple staged a mini-olympics, with events like log-rolling and swimming. on skit and talent night campers played guitar and recited “casey at the bat” at the campfire, where they also sang from camp sanborn songbooks. “it was like sending my kids to camp and being there too,” says bridget winsor, an old friend from boulder, colo. who was there with her husband and two sons. mr. hatfield believes modernism has become too antiseptic, so lately he’s been trying to add old-world craftsmanshipboth to his shoes and his homes. camp hatfield is a mixture of rustic and modern, like red-stained fir cabinets and high-tech lighting. the home frontprivate properties: bundchen agrees to sale relative values: local color on a recent friday morning mrs. hatfield, 55, stopped in front of sconces that resemble goggles and

the camp is supposed to be my dream.” mr. hatfield grimaced. “i started to get tired of that story after awhile,” he joked. they tussled over whose idea it was to turn a planned closet on the second floor into a bedroom. contractor bob bianco interjected: “i think it was a great move on everybody’s part.” mr. hatfield declined to say how much the camp cost him. records show the land was purchased for $700,000; a four-bedroom, three bath lakefront home built in 2006 is currently on the market for $2.8 million. camp starts up again this winter, with activities like skiing and snowshoeing. if mr. jordan or lance armstrong do show up, mrs. hatfield said they’ll be assigned chores and have to sit through announcements: “no special treatment here.”
