Second Quarter 2017 Results:

Net income for the second quarter of 2017 was $25.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, versus net income of $33.3 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, in last year’s second quarter. Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2017 were $0.621 versus the prior year’s adjusted result of $0.671. Higher raw material costs were the primary driver of the year-over-year decline.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $561.7 million, up 5.5 percent versus the second quarter of 2016. Higher volume, and acquisitions positively impacted net revenue growth, which was offset by negative foreign currency translation. Constant currency revenue2 grew by nearly 10 percent year over year. Organic revenue, defined as constant currency revenue less the impact from acquisitions, was up 4 percent.

Gross profit margin was 26.0 percent and adjusted gross profit margin4 was 27.2 percent. During the quarter, margins declined year over year due to increasing raw material costs relative to the timing of price increases. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expense was $102.8 million. Adjusted SG&A expense5 was $102.6 million, down by approximately 1 percent versus last year, primarily driven by discretionary expense management and restructuring actions, offset by the impact of acquisitions.
