GAAP income from continuing operations was $238 million, or 54 cents per share, compared with $176 million, or 40 cents per share, in the same period last year.

IndustrialsCo sales increased 1% to $2.09 billion, with 2% volume growth offset by a 1% price decline. Healthcare & Water Technologies grew in the high single digits, while Diversified Industrials declined due to ongoing weakness in construction markets.
