Joy Global (JOY), the mining equipment maker, reported second-quarter net income of $213.6 million, or $2 a share, up from year-earlier earnings of $162 million, or $1.52 a share.

Analysts anticipated the company would report earnings of $1.94 a share.

"Aftermarket demand flows to shipments in two months, on average," CEO Mike Sutherlin said in a statement. "The current softness in the U.S. aftermarket orders is not expected to be completely offset by strength in the international markets, and therefore the aftermarket bookings rate is expected to adversely impact revenues by $100 million for 2012." Joy Global said its fiscal 2012 earnings are expected to be negatively impacted by 18 cents a share.

Shares of Joy Global fell 1.78% to $58 in premarket trading Thursday.
