Max Mitchell, Crane Co. President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We delivered another strong quarter, with solid execution across all segments. We were particularly pleased with our growth and margin performance at Payment & Merchandising Technologies, with solid end market demand and progress on productivity supporting continued momentum into 2017. In addition, our teams across Fluid Handling continued to execute well, with another solid margin performance despite continuing end market challenges. Order activity remains generally stable in Fluid Handling, and although we continue to believe that demand is at a trough, we will exit the year with a lower backlog compared to when we entered 2016. Our Aerospace & Electronics team had an exceptionally strong performance executing on shipments for the Space Fence program in the quarter, though dilutive to margins; we will have lower shipments in the fourth quarter as we close out the program. Overall, we are pleased with our performance year to date and our prospects looking ahead, and we are raising the midpoints of our full-year adjusted EPS guidance by $0.06 and our free cash flow guidance by $5 million."

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain non-recurring items present additional useful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods, providing investors with a clearer view of the underlying trends of the business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, planning and compensation decisions and in evaluating the Company's performance.
In addition, Free Cash Flow provides supplemental information to assist management and investors in analyzing the Company's ability to generate liquidity from its operating activities. The measure of Free Cash Flow does not take into consideration certain other non-discretionary cash requirements such as, for example, mandatory principal payments on the Company's long-term debt. Non-GAAP financial measures, which may be inconsistent with similarly captioned measures presented by other companies, should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
