Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
We exceeded our margin expectations across the board and our legacy businesses really perform soundly with incremental margins above 30% in every single segment
We were cautious last quarter, and I think we obviously are very pleased with the performance
Q3 was a quarter of outstanding performance across all of Parker
So when you take that out, if you could look at just the legacy portion of North America, it would be very similar to what you're seeing across the rest of the company, record performance, record volumes, record incrementals and -- or strong incrementals, I should say and really sound performance across those legacy businesses
When you look at the Meggitt business, we're extremely happy with the way the Meggitt business is performing
We had record sales of $5.1 billion in the quarter, a 24% increase over prior year with organic growth of 12%
The Win Strategy and portfolio changes have clearly delivered record performance, driving a full year guidance increase
So between mega CapEx projects and secular trends, again, it's the reason we feel so confident about those targets in the future, 4% to 6% organically and really why we believe we're going to grow differently with this portfolio
And today, if you look at the secular trends, obviously, aerospace, we've been talking about that a lot definitely benefiting from that secular trend in that market recovery
Also although it's a little bit longer-term for these to be online, but we'll directly benefit from a lot of the chip and sensor production that is coming to the U.S
So it's -- it's difficult to directly tie it to a specific project, but we are definitely benefiting from some of these projects in the secular trends
I would tell you, we're just extremely happy with the way that's performing
We feel really good about aerospace, and we're watching North America and international
With the addition of Meggitt to our portfolio, we are well positioned for long aerospace cycle growth
Very strong execution, obviously
So we feel positive about that being a tailwind for next year
And as I mentioned before, we're very well-positioned for what's going on today and into the future
We are greatly benefiting from the recovery of the aerospace market
Commercial MRO and OEM is very strong and military is positioned to do well in the upcoming years
With the addition of Meggitt complementary technologies, we provide a comprehensive offering and a stronger bill of material that allows us to add value and help solve our customers' problems
They're doing exactly the same thing that we're doing everywhere across the board, it was really just really solid execution
And it was just solid execution across the board, so easiest that
And Latin America has really been very solid for us
Asia has been extremely resilient with the start-ups and shutdowns and the back and forth with certain end markets
International margins, international volumes far surpassed our forecast
What is encouraging is that in Q3, we saw our backlog dollars increased 3% sequentially
I mean, stellar far exceeded our expectations
So we feel really good going forward about aerospace
As demonstrated by the strong performance in the quarter, and the increasing power of our transformed portfolio, I want to share a few slides with you on why Parker is built for the present and the future
So strong outlook
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
still some tough comps related to COVID vaccine business last year and some supply chain challenges
You've seen the orders, the orders did turn negative, still robust
We're very challenging when it comes to continuous improvement
So in North America, orders to go negative, as Todd mentioned, a negative 4%
It has been a headwind to cash flow
Interest, as you all know, is a headwind
And just on the orders cuts, down 4% for both North America and International
If I look at the North America industrial, it looks like you're assuming sort of margins are down a bit year-on-year in the current fourth fiscal quarter
We were forecasting a slight decline in margin for Q3
And as my math is 1Q, you're guiding for sales to be down roughly 4%, 5%
Semicon soft, but that's pretty much what drove the international negative
If we're looking at the last couple of quarters, we've seen order intake declines
And when you look at the growth compared to last year, military OEM will still be negative mid-single digits
It's minus 2.4% impact for the quarter and that is obviously unfavorable to prior year
Just a reminder, real tough comp as North America last Q3 was plus 23%
That decrease was mainly driven by Asia-Pacific, which was down the mid-teens
It is one of our markets that is single-digit negative right now
There's still some uncertainty out there
I think if you look at it, we might be close to 2%, down from Q3
And currency still remains negative, but it's basically exactly as we forecast
