WALLINGFORD, CT – Amphenol reported second quarter sales of $3.61 billion, representing an increase of 18% from the second quarter of 2023.
"We are pleased to have closed the second quarter of 2024 with record sales and Adjusted Diluted EPS both exceeding the high end of our guidance," said president and CEO R. Adam Norwitt. "Sales increased from prior year by 18%, primarily driven by growth in the IT datacom, defense, commercial air, mobile devices, mobile networks and automotive markets, as well as contributions from the company’s acquisition program, partially offset by organic moderations in the broadband and industrial markets. During the quarter, we again realized strong profitability with Adjusted Operating Margin reaching a record 21.3%. We are very proud of the company’s outstanding performance during the quarter."
For the third quarter, the company expects sales in the range of $3.7 billion to $3.8 billion.
I am very pleased with the company’s second quarter 2024 results," Norwitt said. "The revolution in electronics continues to accelerate, with new innovations creating exciting growth opportunities for Amphenol across each of our diversified end markets. In turn, we have expanded our range of high-technology interconnect products, both through our organic innovation efforts as well as through our successful acquisition program. This expanded technology position coupled with our unique entrepreneurial culture has strengthened our competitive advantage. Our ongoing drive to leverage that competitive advantage and thereby create sustained financial strength has established an excellent base for the company’s future performance. I am confident in the ability of our outstanding and growing entrepreneurial management team to continue to dynamically adjust to changing market conditions, to capitalize on the wide array of growth opportunities that arise in all market cycles and to continue to generate sustainable long-term value for our shareholders and other stakeholders."
