The $0.36 gap between GAAP and adjusted is mostly non-cash amortization of acquired intangibles plus transaction and integration costs, so the adjusted number is the better gauge of the operating business but not of the cash spent on deals.
Sales were a record $2.22 billion, up 17.3% from $1.89 billion a year earlier. Both reported segments grew: Electronic Instruments to $1.44 billion, up 15.7%, and Electromechanical to $778.0 million, up 20.4%. Management credits strong organic sales and orders growth plus contributions from recent acquisitions, and calls the growth broad based across businesses.
