Net earnings rose to $612.9 million, or 86 cents per share, compared with $429.4 million, or 63 cents per share, a year earlier.

Earnings from continuing operations were 73 cents a share, beating the analysts' average estimate by 2 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Sales rose 31 percent to $4.32 billion, largely reflecting acquisitions.
