Barnes Group Inc. (NYSE: B), a global provider of highly engineered products, differentiated industrial technologies, and innovative solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2022.
“In the third quarter, Aerospace continued to deliver excellent performance driven by robust year-over-year growth in the Aftermarket business. At Industrial, performance remains challenged as persistent economic headwinds and operational challenges impact our results,” said Thomas J. Hook, President and Chief Executive Officer of Barnes. “To address Industrial’s performance, our ongoing, multi-phased, restructuring efforts are targeting core business execution, systematically integrating our business portfolio, rationalizing cost, and advancing an action-oriented culture across the enterprise. Our objective is to return to, and eventually surpass, Industrial’s pre-pandemic margin performance,” added Hook.
