EXHIBIT 99.1

Harsco Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results

HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 28, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worldwide industrial services and engineered products company Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) today reported third quarter 2010 results.

Third Quarter 2010 Highlights

Third quarter 2010 diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.26, compared with $0.40 in the third quarter of last year. Income from continuing operations was $21.8 million, compared with $35.1 million last year. Third quarter 2009 results were negatively impacted by a $9.0 million or $0.11 per diluted share net non-cash, after-tax charge related to the Harsco Metals business. As expected, results in this year's third quarter continued to be negatively and significantly impacted by poor end-market conditions in the Company's Harsco Infrastructure business segment.  

Sales increased slightly to $752 million, compared with $744 million in the third quarter of last year. Foreign currency translation reduced sales by approximately $16 million when compared with the third quarter of 2009, but increased operating income by approximately $1.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. In addition, a higher tax rate reduced income from continuing operations by approximately $2.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with the third quarter of 2009.

Sales for the first nine months of 2010 were approximately $2.3 billion, an increase of almost 3 percent from approximately $2.2 billion in the same period a year ago. However, income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share were below last year's results, again due to substantially lower operating results from the Company's Harsco Infrastructure Segment. Income from continuing operations was $65.8 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared with $99.0 million or $1.17 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2009. Negatively impacting the 2009 results was the aforementioned $9.0 million or $0.11 per diluted share net non-cash, after-tax charge. For the first nine months of 2010, a higher tax rate reduced income from continuing operations by approximately $8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with the first nine months of 2009.

Foreign currency translation increased sales for the first nine months of 2010 by approximately $10 million and income before taxes by approximately $3.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share when compared with the results for the first nine months of 2009.

Comment and Outlook

Commenting on the Company's results, Harsco Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Salvatore D. Fazzolari said, "While our overall third quarter results were better than we expected, we continue to experience very difficult end-market conditions within our Harsco Infrastructure business. In this regard, we are taking a number of steps to right-size this business, under new leadership, to address the ongoing market challenges. We look forward to more fully discussing these steps at our Annual Analysts Conference to be held in New York City on December 10^th. The result of these actions will culminate in an expected restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 2010. 

"The Company's other businesses, specifically Harsco Metals, Harsco Rail, and the Harsco Minerals and Harsco Industrial ("All Other") group, all performed well and, in total, exceeded our expectations for the quarter. We continue to be pleased with the overall progress seen this year in their performance. However, much work needs to be done to bring our Harsco Infrastructure business back to profitability in future years. The recent austerity measures being implemented in Europe and particularly the United Kingdom, along with the continuing project deferrals, postponements and pricing pressures have significantly diminished our outlook for the Harsco Infrastructure business in the fourth quarter. We now expect the Harsco Infrastructure business to incur an operating loss in the fourth quarter at least equal to or greater than the operating loss of the third quarter."

"Given the foregoing, we are maintaining our previously communicated full year 2010 EPS guidance from continuing operations of $0.80 to $0.90 per diluted share. This full year 2010 guidance excludes any restructuring charge that we expect to incur in the fourth quarter for the Harsco Infrastructure segment."

Third Quarter Review

Harsco Infrastructure

Sales in the third quarter decreased 9 percent to $254 million from $279 million last year. An operating loss of $13.6 million was incurred in the quarter, compared with operating income in last year's third quarter of $22.5 million. Foreign currency translation decreased sales by approximately $12 million in the quarter and decreased operating income by approximately $0.4 million when compared with the third quarter of 2009.

Very difficult end-market conditions persist for this operating segment. Of particular note in the quarter was the reversal of moderating business conditions in the U.K. due to that country's recently implemented economic austerity measures, and continuing negative end-market conditions in mainland Europe due also to austerity measures and the sovereign debt crisis. The Gulf Region of the Middle East continues to be negatively impacted by the sovereign debt crisis of Dubai. All these negative events have resulted in projects being deferred and postponed at higher levels than expected, and pricing continues to be very challenging.

This business segment is expected to incur another significant operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2010. As the Company continues to respond to these difficult challenges with additional countermeasures and new operating leadership for this Segment, the Company expects to incur a substantial restructuring charge in the fourth quarter. Details will be provided at the Company's Annual Analysts Conference.

Harsco Metals

Sales in the third quarter increased 14 percent to $313 million from $275 million in last year's comparable quarter. Operating income in the quarter was $19.4 million, compared with a loss of $4.4 million in last year's quarter. Included in last year's loss was the previously discussed one-time charge. Operating margins in the quarter were 6.2 percent. When compared with the third quarter of 2009, foreign currency translation decreased sales in the quarter by $4.2 million, but increased operating income by $1.3 million. This business segment continues to benefit from cost savings initiatives and new contract start-ups.

As expected, global steel production in the quarter moderated from first half levels, yet still remained notably above the levels of the third quarter of 2009. Near term, steel production is expected to further moderate somewhat in the fourth quarter of 2010, as the restocking of steel inventories by service centers and end-customers returns to more normal levels.

Longer-term, this segment should continue to benefit from the Company's ongoing cost cutting initiatives, further new contract signings and higher steel production volumes as the economies of the world return to more normalized growth rates in the years ahead.

Harsco Rail

As expected, sales in the quarter decreased to $71 million, down approximately 8 percent from sales of $77 million in the comparable quarter of last year. However, operating income of $14.4 million was only slightly less than that of $14.8 million in last year's third quarter. Operating margins of 20.4 percent were some 130 basis points higher in the quarter, compared with last year. Foreign currency did not have a meaningful impact on results in the quarter when compared with the third quarter of 2009.

As has been reported previously, quarterly results of Harsco Rail are affected by the timing of unit deliveries as they are completed. In the first half of 2010, there was a significant pull-forward effect of deliveries at the request of a major customer. Nevertheless, operating income and margins in the third quarter benefited somewhat from improved year-over-year utilization rates under certain contract service programs, as well as the Company's cost containment initiatives and its continuous improvement program.

Looking ahead, Harsco Rail is expected to post its second consecutive record year and is currently positioning itself for another strong performance in 2011 and beyond. This expectation is underpinned by anticipated contract services revenue, expected parts sales for units previously sold, and new unit sales. Bidding activity remains strong across a wide range of geographies.

Harsco Minerals & Harsco Industrial ("All Other" Category)

Sales in the third quarter increased by approximately 2 percent to $115 million from last year's $112 million. Operating income of $24.9 million was essentially flat with the $24.8 million in the prior year quarter. Operating margins of 21.7 percent were slightly lower than the 22.1 percent posted last year. Foreign currency translation did not have a material impact on results in the quarter when compared with the third quarter of 2009.

The Harsco Minerals business showed healthy gains in sales, operating income and operating margins in this year's third quarter compared with the same period last year. While Harsco Industrial remained solidly profitable in the quarter, sales were flat and operating income and margins both declined. This is due to higher LIFO costs and the poor end markets in non-residential construction, which are negatively impacting the industrial grating product line.

While the Company anticipates that higher LIFO expense will continue to negatively impact Harsco Industrial in the fourth quarter, the longer-term outlook for this Category remains positive. Continued strong global bidding activity in the Harsco Minerals business; the start-up over the next several quarters of contracts previously signed; and the expected future benefits from international joint venture opportunities being developed within the Harsco Industrial businesses are expected to have an overall favorable effect on Harsco Minerals & Harsco Industrial performance.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Other Matters

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of 2010 was $236 million, compared with $277 million for the prior year period. Net cash used by investing activities was $142 million, compared with $127 million in the first nine months of 2009. As previously reported, the increase was the result of the timing of the cash settlement of an acquisition that was announced in the fourth quarter of last year, for which the cash transfer occurred in this year's first quarter. The modest increase in capital expenditures year-over-year of $6.9 million is principally due to capital required for new contract signings in the Harsco Metals and Harsco Minerals businesses. Free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was $106 million for the first nine months of 2010, compared with $154 million in the comparable period last year. The year-over-year decline is principally the result of lower income for the Harsco Infrastructure business in the f irst nine months of 2010. The Company's target is to achieve approximately $200 million in free cash flow in 2010.

The total debt to capital ratio at September 30, 2010 was 43.3 percent, compared with 39.5 percent at end of the prior year. However, this is due to the successful issuance on September 20, 2010 of $250 million in 5-year notes (coupon 2.70 percent). As previously announced, the proceeds from this offering were used to repay the maturing 200 million British pound sterling-denominated ($316 million) notes (coupon 7.25 percent) due on October 27, 2010. Net debt to net capital at September 30, 2010 was 35.5 percent, compared with 37.1 percent at December 31, 2009.

Discontinued Operations

The third quarter of 2010 includes a loss after tax of $0.9 million, or $0.01 per diluted share from discontinued operations, compared with a loss of $11.8 million or $0.15 per diluted share in 2009.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure.  The Company's Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures due to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to maintain and expand the Company's asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations.  It is important to note that Free Cash Flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.
