Strong second quarter results leveraged recovering markets with new business wins and new products to deliver double-digit sales and earnings growth.
Reported sales from continuing operations +18% versus last year.
Reported operating margins from continuing operations +710 bps.
Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations were $1.22, +88% versus last year; the strong increase reflects volume increases, accelerating pricing in excess of higher delivered product costs and lower bad debt expense which more than offset increased variable compensation and Texas freeze impacts.
Ecolab expects the U.S. recovery to continue, Europe to reopen as forecasted, the rest of the world to follow soon after, and a continued higher cost environment.
