Revenue decreased by 0.9% year-over-year to $1.866 billion, primarily due to a disposition-related decline of 2.7% and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation of 1.1%. These declines were partially offset by acquisition-related revenue growth of 2.4% and organic revenue growth of 0.5%.
Gross profit increased by 6.9% year-over-year to $745.5 million, and gross profit margin increased by 300 basis points to 40.0%. This improvement was attributed to strategic pricing, positive product mix, and productivity and cost actions.
Earnings from continuing operations decreased by 60.3% to $239.2 million, or $1.73 diluted earnings per share, compared to $602.1 million, or $4.30 diluted earnings per share, in the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to the after-tax gain on the sale of De-Sta-Co in the prior year.
