“We finished the year strong in the fourth quarter, accelerating our organic revenue growth, expanding our adjusted EBIT margins and delivering attractive EPS growth,” said Martha Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our full year 2017 revenue growth exceeded our initial guidance and was driven by 14 percent organic revenue growth in our heavy vehicle & off road business, strength in China, and solid demand from our industrial customers. Our strong margin expansion and adjusted EPS growth are the result of both M&A cost synergies and core productivity improvements. I would like to thank all of Sensata's employees who helped to make 2017 such a successful year. Looking ahead, with our strong cash flow and improved balance sheet, we have significant opportunities to augment our solid operational performance with a balanced, value-creating capital deployment strategy in 2018.”
