“Following our strong first quarter of 2017, we had another outstanding quarter with record bookings, adjusted diluted EPS, and adjusted EBITDA,” said Jonathan Painter, president and chief executive officer of Kadant. “Our adjusted diluted EPS performance achieved a new milestone and was driven by a strong gross margin, which benefited from near-record parts and consumables revenue. Our adjusted diluted EPS excludes the costs related to our acquisition of the forest products business of NII FPG Company (NII), which we completed in early July. We are working hard on the integration of this business, which is proceeding quite well. The more we learn about NII and its management team the more optimistic we are about our future together."
