    --  U.S. GAAP net sales of $2,390 million, up 2.6% compared with second
        quarter 2016.
        --  On a comparable basis, excluding the impact of foreign currencies
            and the sale of the Remy light vehicle aftermarket business, net
            sales were up 7.8% compared with second quarter 2016.

Full Year 2017 Guidance: The company has increased its 2017 full year organic growth guidance. Full year net sales are expected to be $9.28 billion - $9.38 billion, implying organic net sales growth of 6.5% to 7.5%. Foreign currencies are expected to lower sales by approximately $100 million, due to the depreciation of the Euro, Yuan and Pound. The divested Remy light vehicle aftermarket business contributed net sales of approximately $255 million in 2016. Net earnings are now expected to be within a range of $3.65 to $3.70 per diluted share, with the increase in guidance primarily due to higher than previously expected sales. Excluding the impact of non-comparable items, operating margin is expected to improve by 30 to 40 basis points.

Third Quarter 2017 Guidance: The company expects third quarter 2017 organic net sales growth of 3.0% to 6.0% compared with third quarter 2016 proforma net sales of $2.1 billion.
