Another Q of Record Revenue and EPS...Revenue Growth of 13.3%(BEAT) with EPS growth of 5.5%(BEAT).
Adjusting for the FX loss Adjusted EPS of 0.405 (12.5% EPS Growth)
Very strong Gross Margin and EBITDA Margin expansion as well.
2Q guidance remains firm even with unplanned shutdowns and an Earthquake(not even shifts in tectonic plates can slow this company)
I see this management team driving EPS growth even if auto sales consolidate at this level through operational efficiencies and scale at their new plants and continued production wins.
I believe Europe is bottoming and be a driver of growth YoY growth going forward and RoW fluids segment growth is an area to watch going forward as it scales and cost efficiencies are realized.
This Management Team continues to deliver.
