Enpro's thriving sealing segment carries second quarter
EnPro Industries Inc. announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, with essentiall flat sales for the second quarter. Record performance in the sealing sector offset declines in AST.
“Our Sealing Technologies segment achieved another quarter of record performance while our AST segment declined, as expected, due to weakness in the semiconductor market. The year-over-year increase in Sealing roughly offset the decline in the AST segment, demonstrating the balance inherent in our best-in-class portfolio of businesses,” said Eric Vaillancourt, president and CEO. “Our positioning, investments and strong execution capabilities across the company support the many attractive opportunities we see for long-term growth and value creation."
“Strong cash generation enabled us to further reduce our net leverage to 1.5x," he continued. "Our balance sheet provides us with the flexibility to invest in compelling organic growth and productivity opportunities, while prudently considering acquisitions that meet our strategic and financial criteria. As a result of our recent reshaping, we are more resilient, and well-positioned to outperform through economic cycles."
