What an earnings report is: every 3 months, a company tells everyone how much it sold and earned. We read the figures, the outlook, and how the stock moved after.
Sales of $1.9B, 33% more than a year ago; a profit of $1.39 a share, from $0.65.
“Organic sales 1 increased 18%, reflecting the impact of lapping the ERP transition-related inventory drawdown in the year-ago quarter.”

| Measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Gross margin | about 41.5% |
“Adjusted EPS 1 increased 82% to $1.55 from $0.85 in the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by higher net sales, cost savings and a lower tax rate, partially offset by higher commodity costs and higher manufacturing and logistics costs.”
