DPC reports Adj. EBITDA of $48mn, above consensus by ~7.3% and above MSe by

~10.6%. DPC printed a better-than-expected topline (~9% / ~13.5% above cons /

MSe), with strength in Europe and North America, reflecting solid growth in the

Aerospace and Industrial Gas Turbine markets. Adj. EBITDA came in above estimates,

but adj. EBITDA margin was below estimates at ~17.8% vs. cons / MSe of ~18.1% /
