Parker Hannifin FY27 Q1: record $5.99 billion sales, 10% EPS growth
Parker opened fiscal 2027 with record sales of $5.99 billion, up 17.9%, and adjusted EPS of $8.90, up 23% — a clean beat against a bar the company had already raised. Read the quarter on adjusted profit and on orders, not on GAAP EPS, which grew only 10.0% because acquisition costs and interest expense bit harder. Free cash flow is the one line that went backwards, and that is where the leverage shows.

The $1.98 gap is mostly $1.48 a share of amortization of acquired intangibles plus $0.61 of acquisition-related expenses — real costs of the deal, but not operating performance. Interest expense of $146 million, up from $101 million, is the new debt making its first appearance in the P&L.
Sales of $5.99 billion rose 17.9% from $5.08 billion. Acquisitions contributed 6.9 points and currency was a 0.5-point drag, leaving organic growth of 11.5% — the number that actually says something about demand. Gross margin edged up to 37.7% from 37.5%, so the extra volume came with a little pricing power attached.
