Ecolab reported a strong second quarter with sales of $3.6 billion, reflecting a 13% increase year-over-year, and an impressive 17% growth in fixed currency sales. However, adjusted diluted EPS fell by 10% to $1.10, impacted by unfavorable currency translation and increased product costs. Total pricing accelerated to 9%, helping to stabilize gross margins. Despite a slight decrease in operating income and net income, the company anticipates continued growth and improved performance in the second half of 2022, supported by a new global energy surcharge to counter inflationary pressures.
