“Our second-quarter results reflect solid execution across our businesses and robust demand for our aftermarket parts and services, resulting in record revenue and strong earnings growth. Although capital project timing remains challenged by customer caution and extended approval cycles, we continue to see evidence that interest in our products and technologies remains healthy. Our large installed base and disciplined operational execution enabled us to deliver excellent results in the quarter while positioning the company for meaningful upside as capital spending recovers.”
