Second-quarter reported net income declined 5% to $691 million from $726 million, while reported diluted EPS increased 1% to $1.65 because diluted weighted-average shares declined to 417.7 million from 445.5 million. Adjusted net income declined 1% on a reported basis and 2% on an organic operational basis to $781 million, while adjusted diluted EPS increased 5% on a reported basis to $1.87. The $90 million difference between reported and adjusted net income primarily reflected $75 million of restructuring and cost-reduction charges, $6 million of business-process-transformation costs, and $30 million of purchase-accounting adjustments before tax. Net interest expense increased 15% to $61 million, adding pressure to pretax earnings.
