Revenue grew 3% with organic flat as the professional channel delivered high-single-digit growth, while adjusted EPS of $0.80 beat the $0.55-$0.60 guidance on a lower tax rate. The CAM divestiture closed with $1.57 billion in net proceeds applied to debt reduction and a $500 million share repurchase authorization was announced.
