[Operator Instructions] you. Thank

comes line today with Steve the question Tusa of first from Your JPMorgan.

open line now Your is

afternoon over is or here. of it morning It’s Yes. whatever here. over – kind good Hey,

to kind are of your exposed and but there ground look outside Not are the businesses economy? what dynamic, you China, like of is backlog kind necessarily shutdowns in there? most the, that seeing So just over the the the kind what are of like what you shutdown pace seeing and of order level within

Yes, Steve its Jim.

activities. we in a sale business that still of were cities beginning see didn’t quarter. Point good think the various relative was to the orders a of commercial First quarter, I impact double-digit And think of the at the all, commercially, the started quarter. had up shutdowns really despite in the of throughout good very our it we lot a quarter

So as home, when pivoted that work had we did folks a like an so to commercial XXXX, we’ve easy from was have in example, process. perspective, from we an that

the was well. real and fact described just just factory, activity, really So was the of factory, industrial to the really impact in we down to really a manufacturing were commercial in a the providers that, Shanghai not as our the really facility shut as logistics relative remarks scientific Tek shut issue prepared commercial function well were and as factory that our down and that our

guys, And talk into the of what there’s think around you would if I if be lot I obviously guess what you what recession think of you mean earnings? any, have Right. out you went a for there. can we kind do, would concern algorithm kind your analysis guys around I defend core recession, would how global mild a about, maybe of you done

in leverage what You some pull talk to any the kind you of in reason. kind guys inherent the of industrial cyclicality get you bucketed that’s could about business. cycle Maybe mitigate camp short this would for

weather the an we an I we without think shape of the sort slowdown, our storm guide. than one, saw just this as XXXX, short would number in the we with in position, would well of we in into run, very that issue. businesses anticipate good backlog We give saw Yes, in more backlog some kind if a example, would the be dip that backlog

an So going of in you sense, the we’ve more that as got insurance broadly, second into much more policy half remember.

in our QX even we gross flow, can we cash outstanding it, our, with XXXX, think the see flex protected well. free in more like pretty well extremely gross number, we dramatic, of And we medium expenses something term, margin had which demonstrated we had a then high XXXX. when I obviously we in margins did

like to those recurring think think, be we’ve sure we’d are in or we’d the shape XX% a in then in the be the of recession it’s we’ll a handle bit don’t I we’re I I healthcare the form, resilient And lean six years here, of way, certainly So the to And the levers. of some And more revenue business, on built like which, more so just of the relative I’m thing be, last going impacted. not model or COVID. that going things to far healthcare able happen. little economically portfolio last but with side the It’s anticipation be five our we’ve think in the business talk because resurgence I that really really all described. going want that. And think be for any to about, something to inevitably be to a might which situation we would

Right. Great. lot. Thanks a

Thanks, Steve.

Barclays. question comes of Mitchell with from next line Your Julian the

now is line Your open.

good into just drill adjusted margin. Hey trying Hi, question, the afternoon. operating to first the maybe

So or guess revenues getting sequentially, were pickup in you QX, dip had with sequentially in a at flat-ish big assuming looking year-on-year. sequentially even headwind a the it you worse China QX, I looking margin

that even year-on-year acceleration for looking Again, than headwind. QX. with QX in a China bigger You’re

So on came you in line for I maybe particularly with confidence guide the margins, QX. of the, help me initial think as understand only the sort

but flat the a really sorry, probation, Julian didn’t channel brought there so look couple I revenues things service have first, same at when of was, mean Yes, that but QX, you QX. QX on if from to were QX into to we mix, well, that I’m

things basis XX through prior and through incremental those over we more like I get little the things in, are QX. probably increase coming consumables. in go not around year, revenue And through XX% and bit really year the margins year become even there’s and as as come through service think the more also will and the move incrementals XX% then and volume showing that having a QXs probably we that on see the margins come we it plus points margins up step but channel merits up

towards to pretty, points. consumables these QX on, XX feel half; And profit operating that feel we very more where have environment, in is up XX% start that, that expansion. we said build all to good for margin the Having expect We margins things a in tough second about went given the the everything line basis year.

you. sort wanted then you’re orders to current about quarter. And in discuss Thank of just, thinking how your the

XX hardware I think out called you orders in or up XX% there. even QX overall Jim, at including strength China in

wondered intake for So, in you’re the resilience thinking whether the and how anything about seen quarter, in that current terms demand of order yet. European you’ve example, change of

the What’s and pretty out. orders, were things the continued think in so obviously close interesting, as would to say improvement look our good. growth like were with or to or the Julian was and in POS we is around POS order I U.S. like sales European that I orders stick I look order as fact I’ll orders when world that line or at those we Tek Fluke an example, numbers question

this advanced year basis on little progression we The are half, like So, saw about of that. in think the at But things remains at look a blue ahead strength increase. buying for the as some very price a think of I and second we stack bit point. two of that pattern at you the there, I numbers of good the order simply of because slow durability the simply a feel real

inherent said, we And there’s that’s million built, in you of think our a XXX that I but know, all guide. bit in backlog. as So we little we

what good. really So at I you is the durability is think look

the are in second of order that Some the We was half. ordering saw orders real strength customers the for large is the sensing put second half. for some advanced

sense bit typically we what good of of demand little within be looking think at the ordering anything time have elevation, alarmed, of are we that really that channel good be in would not things certainly inventories what’s of we’re a against they And real what’s pretty but at. advanced that demand. number a I base So, and we shape,

balance, So, things suggest the I down look like might for slow out or certainly think at we’re in hardware when we of anything businesses, signs looking that that. to

that far situations I our of deliver sort to the we’re and see about that yet we’ve on in good think backlog thus ability feel that. to

So just in as said, rate in dip the the is would I not planning go were into do current order the the half, guide were rate an to like we’re then order which to the go Steve’s second example, down on much backlog, question, if to if we down of.

Great. Thank you.

you. Thank

comes next line America. Andrew with of Your question Obin of Bank from the

Your line is now open.

morning. Yes. Hi. Good

Hi Andrew.

the the hardware, and Hey volume, from embedding could this, steps to in Slide is allowing that a that actually you to more looking supply measures more shipping higher more to enables seem to just to be looking little at just the just taking, you throughput as is tangible about clearing can the in dig this, sort progress the at system. Thank out of talk you. XX, just some you QX you QX, on achieve or what chain share counter volume that finally are of you maybe get bit but just you

Yes.

Andrew. So thanks,

number is, of getting of a the constraints one some examples the I’ve countermeasures. impact few to the what the would we XXXX, our never quarter really supply much and away anticipated saw will here. what see that the with the obviously months, be think anticipated continue relative quarter issues is we’ve a what I number in we to think go and we saw I were after of in of said quarters chain for chain some what described, last nice And things to the nine pretty for supply just we in consistent what

as Tektronix, line at for outstanding, of quarter, the top would’ve as more been the which line their with saw Tech one the at bottom that example Sensing in was it in if example, another growth shutdown so, week. hadn’t good Shanghai And that. in And quite that on you frankly, we rate, certainly performance the Fluke of both last seen and

So a number quarter those of relative in examples challenges. to the of progress

year So challenges, countermeasure of progresses. to of power but as will FBS see the to challenges lack just the not continue from those that a

the normal of mentioned, what out things provide kind go that second seasonality. more in half, that some the little you a in tend that’ll, is As things of just of half. some We just normal, volume the bit second see to

is that quarter. of U.S. Some government the buying in third

Some of stuff. it is year-end

continue better, then of our consumables elective improve some get to inherent We’ll in I we’re described, to continue see that So in ACV better. we’ll and which part software And I see the some businesses. to Fluke of and sequentially at procedures XXXX. its improvement get the growth we And as Tech going through remaining into year first the Sensing in continued quarter. see at think we’ll Tech, demonstrated demonstrate the

our then and just it’s and has but follow conjecture, most conjecture a again up situation. in we that the advanced the supply Tek chips chain a would’ve thought toughest probably part, but question perhaps And once

So, shifted confidence up what volume the the able million to a lot. that on catch was second half. gives into you’ll Thanks of first out XX be you the of half

Yes, sure.

I think supply number for we of think you’re large had, components. shipped the million, that chain, but right. into with the performance key And scale if got week partnerships shutdown manufacturers is some we’re A we like unanticipated quarter, number $XX who of rate of number you’re just progress facility last a Tek. a reality for in quarter, We’ve a supply of but semiconductor of China I making, had volume hadn’t represents sophisticated that, good roughly if tax growth sure. good that manufacturing a the an look the at one we in is never you say to if the

third to that things occur some quarter. the are redesigning in We’re and second going

and we’ve So, the look confidence in think in that I those, progress are place, that progress going tangible far, made in the forward. that actions we the thus at

doing This not is is those really would and literally that a the few out conversion and we the of was weeks down guess is are operating than sense where and comes [ph] talked that it team that a know, more year. of the pressure is through us level. And ago, and as of factories, confidence some seeing the literally month. like confidence I in degree any comes really Beaverton Chuck kind every the we and I actions management of walk daily obeyas what actions, now. that’s through So that we really, part we a from. This were progress under what this with about obeyas theoretical the do you of and walking testing the FBS. and those And visual into a at Tek higher and review or team’s having the

Thanks much. Fabulous. so

line Andy from comes of the question Kaplowitz next Your with Citigroup.

open. now is line Your

morning, everyone. Good

Hi, Andy.

series a for Tek refresh, some and time mentioned about five think Fluke in you Tektronix, talking new and significant product the in Jim, you’ve been I now.

maybe this reduction new think that in I said last cycle Fluke And growth give product might you new us had? how case? So XXXX? and minimal year. can in to the previous the little product help Is quarter should for you backlog much then you that more you’ve compared perspective, Tek you’ve a How cycles expect still

Yeah.

talk So, about, let’s break up. let’s them

the five that their to, want coming series. we’ll lines. to they’re coming third start I of here, announcements refresh couple a see has some and their, a certainly don’t don’t in things out mentioned with. product around the second to Tek but want I quarter, think We announcements ruin in I

to So product probably see What’s of inherent step we – new first product? that we’ll Tektronix, hard the is some at what’s second good half I but put the to reduction? say – it’s up I sort will product mean, of those, from the in introductions of sort half backlog in refresh. new sort in

to Some make component we some so chips of that doing with well. some things improvements refreshing quite frankly, changes, comes product to relative changes in as as the were and some to decided

at and going see I the – very kind world has We to Tek said, saying reduction good, independent overall through as don’t consistent growth of China was product Shanghai nice. line. before. – year. situation always of the in So, and We in we’ve we’re said, shape. situation the was the continue to anticipate very And, with to to year rest much going by think what is just relative bit broad at Relative the a I an much to backlog Tek but think good way business should pretty we be Fluke’s very of a been of Fluke. little the a improve

Tek on broader can of there’s clamps So they is half. going to like that necessarily a are moves of category acoustic that that one have unlike line terms in new that But through where more – do one things takes at no difference it be nature a they have some really back But will coming imaging, needle. probably typically business. product and the product product the that make Fluke, some are just – that’ll they the things

But of do, for a year, backlog position we in Fluke will get at reduction a we little but they’ll year well this I as suspect. So, again, bit the XXXX. end good

against the their be the in success demonstrated continued think quarter. those inherent what about relative in continued showed, countermeasures for will the impact business. to to countermeasures the have year – And continue challenges businesses we both will So,

more maybe you obviously of the that. for then market, talking about capacity. a Jim, have a And M&A little just bit Thanks ton

longer. would I story, its say has but deal typically takes it every Well,

transactions would would things things Our that recently a in changed suggest would and that, much. probably I still say situations conversations here of watched we’ve as are couple occur that suggest haven’t

XXXX would real So, of I a that’s second more half early, impact. anticipate

guys. Hi, good morning

Josh. Hi

a like do what to backlog, my like does Is been like doesn’t think Like has around? like trying mean double cancellations? happening world, really mentioned a backlog bit Just something Cosco call Jim, quick of to a I ordering what talking happens you a see [ph] orders shorter environment? or like, several of soften, if really kind you in if it, like sound anything’s Just the there historical the environment on question backlog, for this this get context context Any the backlog change? cycle any this does arms in point, dynamic, for industrial times for channel and today? look what incoming

in we few the time Yes, of of seeing into I double our say obviously get what places it ordering. kind wanting first think, thing. a And break another a just to what with spend are like the lot Presidents build for sense of topic real you a we That’s being want million every Sensing like a deliveries of and in that. shipments Tech our And I I’d quarter, backlog, on for Josh, businesses, like we orders operating say, looks for it’s Hey, would it we’re the with not Fortive. something somebody things reviews, within obviously CFOs, November That’s like. placed a did conversation XXX in month have to is, some we queue that I seeing and when

ordering, people so day, see the And in We with to that we’re case of sense I the flow Tech, get at it a end some pricing, backlog out around confident good of trying the bit of double of think little and backlog. will we flow have will don’t but Sensing in the and that.

side, a their feel profusely their What on very those XX% and much very about order? Fluke’s that. and channel little, a inventory do positions to little sale are perspective those, revenue. from the sort the look inventory Tektronix we of we where On of we that is what see range. going? or business of close needs and use see today trends we good those looking then test bit see The cases that’s like? getting tested methodology can an that. in direct and calculation and at data. And That’s don’t Tek than use about, XX% into out have Where less analytical we do we’ve customers they point revenue half we have What that is of get pretty and of anything and to a And XX%

things at place. good, and some U.S. better – in that’s bit Europe And And with a analytics significantly natural demand so data And natural on are you consistently. say remain we the remains get that’s doesn’t things we The rest back the and little watch time go test the what we And the to what’s sale that of in order that inventory And where would we tell a those around that in their it how does play I natural world, all patterns there’s of substantive more We’d are numbers. any step sort do portfolio. increases and no inventory point get we that, say, if And the inventories quickly. not the increase good. We haywire soon. of good think levels refined of what you? watch. you relative but when

gives I the the second about near makes confidence, the term. what feel that’s good pretty say, backlog. with And good start would guide. So us half our It that informs we’ll us

so of might of might those And seen some haven’t saw if a historically, cancellation, see lot in and we changes a that. you see I some little demand patterns, a say would – you we although,

ago to helpful. a more And guess months or, well, work like that behavior the bad? anything just six Got expected organization facilities in that’s on model some seems would’ve the more kind software it. some those remote permeated a folks alongside hybrid That’s it’s changes of and then of than or tracks through of I platforms and facing maybe that customer side, order good of on, even return

the collaboration offices, kinds time facilities Well, ServiceChannel of doing and things to combination extent, in they time I and supports occur are do as time. full support not what to but, that is lifecycle work to be some time, into And it from it’s going a asset Accruent. really, they’re of in of hybrid the Gordian think people management and facilities come and great the the back because want to to from kinds supports people we’re software to perspective, over changes

those for going be in that It’s documented out and early transformations. think secular, years. the I of to very we’re trend in that well driver’s So, there innings

think, I balance many we’re are customers back on hospitals. cases back, so our in And back, we’re at

of example, and when times little But – take service revenue to value. help start as service compress we a site starting customers whether to get customer We’re the mentioned to an a in we’re it get from as a on those see places, on longer. to a in couple opportunity be time there’s our can we things trying up site timelines the hardware, business to when come to software bit

into down the at back to the see work, So, we’re into come office, come those to come back come the back people starting facilities.

So, things I trajectory to of conduct think balance we of we how inherent sort business these being on how and business. of is happening, our the some natural helpful in
