Net sales
Net sales decreased 7% as organic sales declined 4%, along with currency headwinds of 1% and unfavorable portfolio impact of 2%.
Organic sales decline of 4% consisted of a 6% decrease in volume partially offset by a 2% increase in price.
- Lower volume resulted from decreased consumer electronics spending and channel inventory destocking, along with softness in construction end-markets, partially offset by continued strength in areas such as water, auto and in industrial end-markets such as aerospace and healthcare.
- Price increase reflects the carryover impact of actions taken in 2022 to offset broad-based
cost inflation.
