Air Products & Chemicals Inc. on Thursday reported a rise in
profit and revenue in its third quarter, as higher pricing and
volume offset higher costs.
The Allentown, Pa.-based provider of essential industrial gases
and chemicals posted net income attributable to the company of
$582.1 million, or $2.62 a share, up from the $533.6 million, or
$2.40 a share, it reported in the previous year.
On an adjusted basis, per-share earnings were $2.62. Analysts
polled by FactSet forecast adjusted earnings of $2.61 a share.
Sales for the quarter ended June 30 grew to $3.2 billion from
$2.6 billion in the year-ago quarter. Analysts had expected sales
of $3 billion, according to FactSet.
The company said prices and volume rose 7% and 5%, respectively.
Volume growth was driven by new assets and increased demand, though
earnings were offset by inflation, supply chain snarls and
unfavorable currency movements, the company said.
