Factors to Note

Strength in the medical, food and pharma businesses is likely to have driven Ingersoll Rand’s performance in the third quarter.

Benefits from the acquisitions of Westwood Technical Limited, Houdstermaatschappij Jorc and Tuthill Pump Group are expected to get reflected in IR’s top-line number. The acquisition of Westwood expanded IR’s IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) offerings.

The Houdstermaatschappij Jorc acquisition is expected to have boosted performance of the Industrial Technologies & Services segment. The Tuthill Pump acquisition has strengthened Ingersoll Rand’s existing pumping solution offerings.

However, high raw material costs, supply-chain issues and logistics problems are expected to have impacted Ingersoll Rand’s third-quarter performance. Given IR’s substantial international presence, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have affected the top line.
