• Q2 results exceeded expectations, with $757 million in sales, flat core growth despite a difficult comparison, and underlying adjusted operating margin expansion of 70 basis points excluding tariff refunds.
• Environmental & Fueling Solutions delivered approximately 5% core growth, supported by strong dispenser, aftermarket, modernization, and replacement demand; full-year growth expectations were raised to mid-single digits.
• The company raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $3.45–$3.55, representing 8%–11% growth, and expects cost savings to exceed its $15 million commitment while continuing substantial share repurchases.
• Repair Solutions remains the primary weakness, with same-store sales essentially flat and margins down 180 basis points in Q2; full-year operating margin is now expected to decline about 150 basis points as new management pursues supply-chain, SKU, and execution improvements.
• Mobility Technologies’ underlying demand grew mid-single digits, but revenue was pressured by a prior-year vehicle-identification shipment comparison and delays in larger Patheon software migrations; management expects these projects to support longer-term growth despite slipping beyond 2026.
