Global safety equipment manufacturer MSA Safety Incorporated reported results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2017.
“Our fourth quarter results reflect improving macro conditions across many of our key end markets and geographies, as well as returns on investments made in strategic acquisitions and cost reduction programs,” said William M. Lambert, MSA chairman and CEO. “Our quarterly revenue reflected record performance for MSA and increased 14 percent in constant currency from a year ago, or 6 percent excluding Globe. Additionally, our streamlined cost structure provided support to leverage our revenue growth into a 69 percent increase in adjusted earnings.”
