Inside the Headlines

In the reported quarter, Carlisle’s revenues came in at $1,847 million, up 56.8% year over year.

The quarterly segmental results are briefly discussed below.

Revenues from CCM totaled $1,113.4 million, increasing 54% year over year. The same represented 60.3% of the total revenues. Organic revenues grew 54.9% on the back of strong demand for U.S. commercial roofing, price and strength in all product lines.

CWT revenues, representing 24.3% of total revenues, were $448.9 million, up 109.3% year over year. The increase was driven by 24.4% growth in organic revenues on account of price, Henry's acquisition and strength in the product lines.

CIT revenues, accounting for 11.5% of total revenues, were $212.6 million, up 25.9% year over year. The increase was driven by improving aerospace and medical end markets.

Outlook

Approximately 60% growth is anticipated in the CWT segment on the back of strong demand for product lines and the accretive Henry acquisition. Revenues from the CIT segment are expected to increase about 20%, driven by increasing backlogs in the Commercial Aerospace and Medical end markets.
