„This second quarter proved difficult for our company,“ noted Earl Lewis, President and CEO of FLIR. „Macroeconomic conditions impacted many of our largest markets, but we continued to manage our business in response to these challenges. Both divisions had meaningful increases in backlog during the quarter, and we further streamlined our operations. While the first half of 2012 underperformed our expectations, we anticipate an improved second half and a return to earnings growth in the fourth quarter.“
As announced previously, based on financial results for the first half of 2012 and the outlook for the remainder of the year, FLIR has modified its outlook for revenue and earnings per share for the full year 2012. Management currently expects revenue for 2012 to be in the range of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion and net earnings to be in the range of $1.40 to $1.50 per diluted share.
