Todd A. Adams, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite a challenging macro-economic environment, we delivered strong year-over-year margin expansion and free cash flow while continuing to reinvest in our businesses. Solid execution and productivity gains across both platforms allowed us to expand our adjusted EBITDA margin by 110 basis points to 19.5% from 18.4% in the prior year quarter.

In Process & Motion Control, we achieved an adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.7%, an increase of 60 basis points compared to the prior year quarter, despite a 3% contraction in core net sales due to weak short-cycle demand. Looking ahead, we expect short- cycle demand to stabilize and we are encouraged by some of the activity we're seeing in our end-markets all of which we believe will result in an improved market environment in the latter half of the year.
