North America Integrated Solutions & Services: Revenues came in at $1,004 million, an increase from the prior-year figure of $972 million, as the positive impact of acquisition overrode the weak Canadian dollar.

Rest of World Integrated Solutions & Services: Revenues decreased 6% year over year to $794 million primarily due to an adverse impact from currency translation. Organic revenues were up 2% due to an increase in sales of integrated solutions.
However, a backlog of $1.94 billion reflected an increase of 14% year over year. Adjusted operating income came in at $92 million compared with $93 million in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted operating margin was 11.6% compared with 11.0% in the prior-year period. The 60 basis point improvement in operating margin was driven by revenue growth, improved execution and productivity benefits.
