Management Comments
Aaron W. Saak
We had strong operational performance in Q2, delivering on our value creation priorities of accelerating growth, building on our leadership positions, and driving operational excellence. With our strong first-half performance, and expected continued momentum, we are raising our full-year Adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $4.22 to $4.42. I’m pleased with the progress we’ve made during our first 90 days with the integration of Antares Vision. We are quickly implementing the Crane Business System to drive growth and margin expansion. As our performance shows, we are executing on our strategic priorities and are well positioned to deliver meaningful long-term value creation for our shareholders.
