Its revenue climbed 10.6% to $696.5 million in the period. However, analysts were expecting earnings of $0.80 per share on revenue of $685.5 million.
Total Life Sciences segment sales jumped 14% to $352 million, while Total Industrial segment gained 13% to $344 million in the quarter.
Orders in the quarter gained 8% in the quarter.
Larry Kingsley, Pall Chairman and CEO, said, “The dramatic strengthening of the U.S. Dollar, which began during our first quarter, will be a very significant earnings headwind for the year. However, our operating momentum provides us with confidence that we can largely offset FX and deliver a full year outlook consistent with our original guidance.”
For the full year, Pall projects earnings of $3.75 to $3.95 per share.
Pall shares closed at $94.69 yesterday.
