The standout driver was the Industrial & Energy Technology segment, where a 59% jump in Gas Technology Equipment revenue helped push total IET revenue to $3.13 billion, up 28% from a year ago, and lifted company-wide adjusted EBITDA margins to 15.8%. New energy orders reached $445.00 million in the quarter, with Climate Technology Solutions bookings climbing to $392.00 million from $152.00 million a year ago. The Oilfield Services & Equipment segment contributed steadily as well, with operating margins expanding 1.5 percentage points to 12.3%, supported by contract wins including multiple awards from Petrobras offshore Brazil, a region where broader oilfield services activity has been accelerating. Buoyed by first-half momentum, management raised the midpoint of full-year 2024 guidance by 5%, signaling confidence in structurally higher margins ahead.
