2014 Outlook
“We expect our businesses overall to show solid growth in 2014 as economic conditions continue to modestly improve across our end markets.

AMETEK’s continued focus on our core strategies of operational excellence, global and market expansion, new product development and strategic acquisitions position us well in 2014 and beyond,” notes Mr. Hermance.

“We anticipate 2014 revenue to be up high single digits on a percentage basis from 2013. Earnings for 2014 are expected to be in the range of $2.30 to $2.35 per diluted share, up 10% to 12% over 2013, reflecting the leveraged impact of core growth, continued operational excellence initiatives, and the benefit of contributions from recent acquisitions,” adds Mr. Hermance.
