Reports Q4 revenue $2.04B, consensus $2.07B.”Orders for the quarter came in lower than expected, reflecting continued softness in many of our end markets. Operating performance was solid, with good sales conversion, margin, and EPS. The performance of our Lifecycle Services segment stands out, with its higher exposure to process end markets, growth in digital services, and continued margin expansion. Reflecting on the full year, our people around the world have demonstrated remarkable dedication to serve our customers and bring new innovation to market, and to make the changes necessary to position us for market-beating growth and profit,” said Blake Moret, Chairman and CEO.
