COMMENT SPX Corp’s Flow Technology segment saw revenues increase 37.4% in the second quarter of 2012 to US$677.3 million compared with US$492.8 million in the second quarter of 2011. Organic revenues were up 11.9%, reflecting growth in all of the segment’s end markets. Sales of large-scale food and beverage systems in Asia Pacific experienced the strongest growth. Geographically, Flow Technology delivered organic growth in the Americas and Asia Pacific, which was partially offset by a decline in Europe. Acquisitions increased reported revenues by 31.5%, driven primarily by pump manufacturer ClydeUnion where revenues increased 15.1% sequentially. Currency fluctuations, primarily
involving the Euro, decreased reported revenues by 6.0% from the year-ago quarter. Flow Technology’s income was US$69.8 million, or 10.3% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2012, compared with US$56.6 million, or 11.5% of revenues, a year earlier. The increase in segment income mainly reflects the impact of organic revenue growth. The decline in segment margin was due primarily to 240 basis points of dilution from the operating performance of ClydeUnion and to purchase accounting charges, partially offset by the leverage from the organic revenue growth and increased year-over-year pricing. ■ www.spx.com
