The company reported earnings of $2.88 a share, up from $2.81 a share in the same period last year. On an adjusted basis, earnings reached $2.99 a share, comfortably beating the $2.91 consensus forecast from FactSet analysts. Total revenue climbed to $1.71 billion, narrowly exceeding the $1.68 billion anticipated by the market.
