GAAP earnings in the reported quarter were 26 cents per share compared with $1.03 in the year-ago quarter. The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP earnings was due to a 13-cent impact from after-tax non-core adjustments.
Total revenues were $6.45 billion, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.47 billion by 0.3%. The top line also lagged 6.2% year over year due to softer contributions from its Oil & Gas segment and Chemical segment.
