"Coming into this year we were faced with the challenges of an uncertain macro environment and cyclical downturns in two of our key end markets, oil and dairy.Ìý Although we saw some pockets of stabilization in the first half of 2016, overall orders were lower than the second half of 2015, particularly in our oil and industrial related product lines," saidÌýMarc Michael, President and Chief Executive Officer.

"Despite the challenging demand environment, I'm pleased with the effort by our employees across the enterprise to aggressively execute our realignment program.Ìý During the first half of the year, we made significant progress reducing our cost structure, realigning our footprint and streamlining our functional support globally," Michael continued.Ìý "That said, given current order trends, and consistent with our original commitments, we are accelerating our realignment program.Ìý We are also evaluating and intend to take additional actions.Ìý As such, we have increased the annualized savings target from our realignment program to approximatelyÌý$135 million, up from our previous target ofÌý$110 million.Ìý And we now expectÌý$60 millionÌýof savings to be achieved in 2016, up from our previous target ofÌý$40 million."

"Additionally, during the third quarter, we plan to refinance all of ourÌý$600 millionÌýsenior notes due in 2017.Ìý We believe this will give us greater financial flexibility going forward and lower annual interest costs," said Michael.

"We have updated our 2016 guidance to reflect our first half results and revised expectations for the second half of the year.Ìý At the bottom line, we narrowed our full year 2016 EPS guidance range toÌý$1.85 to $2.05Ìýper share, as compared to our previous guidance range ofÌý$1.85 to $2.15Ìýper share.Ìý We are firmly committed to meeting our financial guidance for 2016 and believe the actions we are taking to realign the company and refinance our debt will significantly improve our ability to efficiently and competitively serve our customers," Michael concluded.
