Quarterly top-line results were above expectations, while earnings were just below our expectations primarily due to non-operating income line items. Management raised FY18 revenue guidance, with EPS projections tightened. Margins are expected to improve in FY18, but by slightly less than prior projections (+160 bps from +170 bps)." (8/11/2017)
