Second quarter 2023 earnings per share was $1.27, versus earnings per share in the second quarter 2022 of $1.26.

“We delivered another quarter of record sales and EPS performance for Franklin Electric. Results were driven by a solid demand environment that continued into the busy season for our core markets. Strong execution by our global teams enabled backlog and inventory levels to continue trending towards normalized levels, significantly improving our cash flow generation,” said Gregg Sengstack, Franklin Electric’s chairperson and chief executive officer.

“Even though our second quarter sales were adversely impacted by weather and distributors right-sizing inventory levels, our end-market demand remains healthy. As we enter the third quarter, we have an elevated backlog which gives us momentum and confidence in our outlook for the remainder of 2023,” Sengstack said.
