“Although we made substantial progress this quarter on a number of key initiatives, international markets were weaker than anticipated,” said Gary E. Hendrickson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to invest in our long-term opportunities and remain confident we will achieve our new business plans for the full year. However, weak demand in certain international markets is expected to continue and thus we are adjusting our full-year guidance to $3.60 to $3.80 to reflect these market conditions.”
