“We ended 2012 with a very strong quarter. Quarterly and full year sales and earnings per share were all at record levels," said Robert Mehrabian, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Furthermore, organic revenue growth in the quarter was 5.1%, driven by a 21.9% increase in organic sales in our instrumentation segment. Finally, fourth quarter free cash flow of nearly $100 million was also an all-time record. Throughout 2012, we accelerated our ongoing transformation into a higher technology company serving industrial growth markets. Despite continued economic and government funding uncertainty, we enter 2013 with the strength of our balanced business portfolio, which now has the greatest proportion of commercial and international sales in our history."
