Items this document does not state (5)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Higher gross profit from the oil and gas business and increased earnings in the maintenance business drove performance. The mobility business reported lower earnings due to adverse weather, lower profitability, and higher operating costs, but earnings increased overall.
