Second Quarter Results
Olivier Filliol, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Strong performance in all product lines in Asia / Rest of World, combined with particularly robust Industrial sales in the Americas and Europe, drove sales growth in the quarter.

Outlook
The Company updated its outlook for 2011. Based on today’s assessment, management anticipates that local currency sales growth in 2011 will be approximately 10% and Adjusted EPS will be in the range of $7.95 to $8.05, an increase of 15% to 16%. The Company stated that Adjusted EPS guidance for 2011 is negatively impacted due to unfavorable currency rates, principally due to the strengthening of the Swiss franc versus the Euro. The Company’s previous 2011 guidance of Adjusted EPS was $7.90 to $8.00. Adjusted EPS excludes purchased intangible amortization, discrete tax items, restructuring charges and other one-time items.
The Company stated that, based on its assessment of market conditions today, management anticipates that local currency sales growth in the third quarter 2011 will be in the range of 8% to 9%, while Adjusted EPS will be in the range of $1.87 to $1.93, an increase of 9% to 13%. The Company stated that Adjusted EPS guidance for third quarter 2011 is negatively impacted due to unfavorable currency rates, principally due to the strengthening of the Swiss franc versus the Euro.
While the Company has provided an outlook for Adjusted EPS, it has not provided an outlook for EPS. EPS guidance would require an estimate of non-recurring items, which are not yet known.
Conclusion
Filliol concluded, “We are pleased with our excellent results in the first half of the year. While our sales growth rate for the remainder of the year will be affected by strong previous-year comparisons and the adverse currency situation will impact EPS, our business remains well on track. We continue to capture incremental market share by capitalizing on our sophisticated marketing programs and our strong product pipeline. As we look to the remainder of the year, we remain confident in our ability to execute on our strategies but acknowledge that the economy remains uncertain.”
