Net sales reached $6.377 billion, up from $5.943 billion in the same period last year. This increase was primarily driven by a 9% organic growth rate, partially offset by a 2% decrease due to foreign currency translation. The Electrical Americas and Electrical Global segments showed particular strength.
Gross profit margin increased to 38.4% from 37.3% in the prior year. This was attributed to higher sales volume and improved operating efficiencies, but was partially offset by commodity and wage inflation, and an unfavorable product mix.
Net income attributable to Eaton ordinary shareholders rose to $964 million, or $2.45 per diluted share, compared to $821 million, or $2.04 per diluted share, in the prior year. This increase reflects the improved sales and profitability performance.
