Thank you, Kevin, and good morning everyone. AMETEK had an excellent second quarter with very strong execution of our four growth strategies. In the quarter, we established records for all key financial metrics including orders, sales, operating income, operating margins, net income and diluted EPS. Additionally, we ended the second quarter with a record backlog of $1.25 billion. We remained very active on the acquisition front. During the second quarter, we closed the acquisition of Zygo Corporation and acquired Luphos, a technology acquisition which is highly synergistic with Zygo and our Taylor Hobson and metrology businesses. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we acquired Amptek, a provider of instrumentation used to identify composition of materials used in x-ray fluorescence. I will provide more details on our continued strong acquisition activity in a moment, but let me first provide the financial highlights for the quarter. Sales in the quarter were up 13% to $990.7 million, organic sales increased 4%, while acquisitions added 8% and currency added 1%. Operating income for the second quarter was very strong. It increased 14% to $231.7 million from $202.6 million last year. Operating income margin in the quarter was a record 23.4%, a 30 basis point improvement over the second quarter of 2013. Net income and diluted earnings per share were both up 17% over last year’s second quarter to 150.1 cents and $0.61 respectively. Our diluted earnings per share in the quarter were $0.02 above the high end of our guidance range. Orders in the second quarter were very strong at $1.1 billion, up 21% overall from the prior year driven by solid organic growth and the contributions from recent acquisitions. The book-to-bill ratio in the quarter was 1.09. Operating cash flow was $155 million for the second quarter up 21% from last…

Robert Mandos

Thank you, Frank. As Frank noted, we had an excellent second quarter with strong overall results. I will provide some further details. Core growth in selling expenses was in line with core growth in sales in the quarter. General and administrative expenses were 1.2% of sales, in line with last year's second quarter. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 28%, versus last year's second quarter rate of 29.4% and in line with our guidance. The lower tax rate in the quarter was a result of our ongoing international tax planning activities. For 2014, we expect our tax rate to be between 28% and 29%. As we have said before, actual quarterly tax rates can differ dramatically, either positively or negatively, from this full year rate. On the balance sheet, working capital, defined as receivables plus inventory less payables, was 17.7% of sales in the second quarter versus 17.9% in last year’s second quarter. Strong working capital management will remain a key priority. Capital expenditures were $15 million for the quarter, for the full year of 2014, capital expenditures are expected to be $70 million. Depreciation and amortization was $33 million for the quarter, full year 2014 depreciation and amortization is expected to be approximately $142 million. Operating cash flow was $155 million in the second quarter, up 21% over last year’s second quarter. Free cash flow was $140 million in the quarter, up 19 over last year’s second quarter.. For the full year, we expect free cash flow to be approximately 110% of net income. Total debt was $1.6 billion at June 30, up $188 million from the 2013 year end largely the result of the Zygo acquisition. Offsetting this debt is cash and cash equivalents of $283 million, resulting in a net debt-to-capital ratio at June 30 of 27.8%. At June 30, we had approximately $700 million of cash and existing credit facilities to fund our growth initiatives. During the quarter, we closed the acquisition of Zygo Corporation and acquired Luphos bringing our cumulative expenditures for acquisitions in 2014 to approximately $570 million. Also in the second quarter, we announced a 50% increase in it from $0.06 per share. This dividend increase will raise the annualize dividend payout to $0.36 per share. In summary, we had a very strong second quarter, establishing records for essentially all key financial metrics, strong balance sheet and cash flows.

Great. Thank you, Bob. Susie, we'll now open it up for questions.

Thank you. (Operator Instructions) Our first question is coming from the line of John Baliotti with Janney Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question. John Baliotti – Janney Capital Markets: Thank you. Good morning. Frank, I was wondering, I was kind of looking at, maybe focusing on M&A a little bit. I was just, you continue, cash continues to go up in your balance sheet and you continue to do deals and your working capital as a percent of sales continues to go down or certainly stay in line despite the deals. I was wondering, is there a way to quantify how much of deals that you are doing right now or funded by improvements – and now that the businesses that you have bought, but the businesses that have been core to AMETEK over the years?

Frank Hermance

Management

Yes, I think the best way look at this, John, is that the majority of the savings that we get and the improvements we get are in the existing businesses, but the existing businesses would include what we acquired in the previous year, not what we acquired this year. And we obviously look at both the acquired companies as well as the existing businesses, but because the existing businesses are so much larger in totality, the majority of the improvements come from the existing business – but we are able to offset that with the existing business improvements and sort of the year that we acquire the company. But then in succeeding years we will work very aggressively to improve the working capital of those acquired companies. So, I think the focus and sort of the real answer to your question is that as the existing business is where the majority of this is coming from including the acquisitions from the previous year. John Baliotti – Janney Capital Markets: Right, and just a follow-on to that, it seems like – and I think in the past you’ve said that, even though you have a rigorous M&A team and a due diligence process, you tend to sort of scatter your deals for lack of a better term in different areas. But it seems like, of the last seven deals, if I have it right about five of them have been more in the metrology, whether it’s contact or non-contact, if you throw to include Creaform in there as complementary to that, I was just wondering, is there – is it greater confidence or interest in that area or is just randomness?

Frank Hermance

Management

It’s more randomness in terms of where the deals come from, John and when you look at where those deals went, although your macro view is absolutely correct that are in these sort of metrology areas. Where they end up in AMETEK is different. For instance, the Amptek acquisition is going to end up in our materials analysis division, where Zygo is ending up in our ultra precision technology division. So, it may seem like, they are all going in the same place, but they are not. We have an internal thought process that we don’t like to do two acquisitions in the same business unit. We might do it in the same division but it would be in different business units just to reduce the risk and only on a few occasions have we not adhered to that. John Baliotti – Janney Capital Markets: Great, thanks, Frank, and congratulations.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Allison Poliniak from Wells Fargo. Please proceed with your question. Allison Poliniak-Cusic – Wells Fargo Securities: Hi, good morning guys.

Frank Hermance

Management

Hello, Allison.

Robert Mandos

Management

Hi, Allison. Allison Poliniak-Cusic – Wells Fargo Securities: I am just sort of riding on that product portfolio question and sort of the ultra precision technology, you’ve done a lot of acquisitions there. Is, outside of sort of organic ideas, is that product portfolio filled out or do you certainly need more immediate end-markets or a different technology there?

Frank Hermance

Management

Yes, we have now done a really superb job of putting key technology into this particular business. So four of the markets that we are focusing on – we now have an excellent portfolio of technologies and we really don’t need additional technologies for that market. However, we can expand the market penetration of UPT and go into other markets and that’s pretty much the strategy that we have used across the company that we get into an area, we fill out the technologies and capabilities for grid access to specific niche markets and then we were on adjacencies that are around that that are really new market segments and we can do that either through acquisition or we can do it through basically internal developments. And I think you may have heard me talk previously about sort of the finger approach which is the way we think about how we bring the deals into AMETEK and every time we do a sizable acquisition it opens up another set of fingers that we can basically add on either additional acquisitions or additional markets through – or internal R&D activities. Allison Poliniak-Cusic – Wells Fargo Securities: That’s great. Thank you.

Frank Hermance

Management

You bet. Allison Poliniak-Cusic – Wells Fargo Securities: And then just a lot of moving parts obviously on the EBIT line with the acquisition, so how should be we thinking about that, maybe EIG versus AMG in the back half of the year?

Frank Hermance

Management

Well, as we’ve talked about these – if you look at the margins, the margins in EIG are very, very good. They were at 26.4% in the quarter and EMG is where the margin opportunity is and we continue to do really well on those margins. EMG was a 22.1% if my recollection is correct which was up 100 basis points. So, as we go forward, you are going to see more margin improvement coming out of EMG than EIG and again, through sort of randomness of the acquisitions, a large number of the acquisitions we’ve done in the last say couple of years have ended up in EMG or excuse me, EIG and therefore there tends to be a bit of a dilutive impact on the margins in EIG. We actually consider that positive because what we want to do with those acquired companies is actually buy businesses that have lower margins and make them better. And therefore the return on invested capital turns out to be superb. But we’ve always been able to outgrow that as a company. In other words, our margins are – the 30 basis points we are talking about includes, all of the dilution of the acquisitions and if we extract it out the 30 basis would be up in the 70, 80 basis points area, just to sort of put some numbers on it. So, that’s probably the best way I can answer your question, Allison. Allison Poliniak-Cusic – Wells Fargo Securities: Great. Thank you so much.

Frank Hermance

Thank you. Our next question is coming from line of Matt Summerville with KeyBanc. Please proceed with your question. Matt Summerville – KeyBanc Capital Markets: Morning.

Frank Hermance

Management

Hi, Matt. Matt Summerville – KeyBanc Capital Markets: With respect to the core business, Frank, I think you talked about orders been up total 21%. Can you talk about what that looks like organically give the actual number is well if what your sort of core backlog looks like on a year-over-year basis?

Frank Hermance

Management

Yes, I think, I’ll try to do that off the top of my head and Bob, you can correct me if I don’t have exactly the right numbers here. But the organic growth in orders was in the 2%, 3% kind of area. If we look at the backlogs, the backlog was $1.25 billion and the most significant contributor to that was Zygo and Zygo was $83 million. Did I get those numbers right?

Robert Mandos

Management

You got it.

Frank Hermance

Management

I got them right. Okay. Matt Summerville – KeyBanc Capital Markets: And then, with respect to – you’ve obviously done a lot of M&A in the last 12 months and it sounds you are going to exclude the integration costs related to Zygo, but can you quantify the inventory step-up cost, the other acquisition expenses transaction costs that are still flowing through the P&L in aggregate for 2014?

Frank Hermance

Management

Yes, we have not yet finalized exactly what the integration cost of Zygo are going to be going forward and we are in the process of working with the Zygo team to refine that and by the next conference call, I’ll be able to quantify those for you. But they won’t be minor and the reason is, you may recall, Matt, that we are looking for synergy in this deal that is extremely large. And we think there is tremendous synergy between, in particular the Zygo operation or Zygo business and AMETEK. And that’s the reason why we did exclude those costs in our forward-looking guidance and we will get it quantified – I mean, it’s not sort of a material number, it will probably be on the order of $0.04 something like that in that kind of region but it has not been finalized. Matt Summerville – KeyBanc Capital Markets: And then, just a follow-up Frank, with respect to all the other deals you’ve done, there is inventory step-up costs, there is transaction costs, what is indeed flowing through the P&L that you are not calling out as one-time?

Frank Hermance

Management

Okay, well, I can give you some numbers for the second quarter. For instance, in the second quarter we had $1.6 million of costs that were used in terms of acquiring Zygo. Okay, and we are sort of separating those costs from going forward integration costs and that $1.6 million was in the P&L and we are just absorbing that. So our earnings would have been – if we excluded that, it would have been $1.6 million higher and it was a very similar number in the first quarter for Zygo. So, just in that six months for one acquisition, we are talking $3.2 million which is basically a penny a share which we have absorbed. And then there are other costs associated with the other deals but they are relatively small in comparison. Matt Summerville – KeyBanc Capital Markets: Great. Thank you, Frank.

Frank Hermance

Management

You bet, Matt.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Scott Graham with Jefferies. Please proceed with your question. Scott Graham – Jefferies: Hey, good morning, Frank, Bob, Kevin.

Frank Hermance

Management

Hi, Scott. Scott Graham – Jefferies: Just somebody has to ask it, so Frank, hopefully you can go through your by business unit analysis for us, particularly, give us maybe a little bit more color than normal if possible on EMET which is the kind of first time we’ve kind of mentioned that possibly in some time?

Frank Hermance

Management

Yes, now I’d be glad to do that, Scott. Just put a star there. So I’ve got some notes, so I normally do regarding the business sort of sub-segments and I’ll start with EIG. EIG aerospace business really had an excellent quarter, high single-digit organic sales growth and the growth was driven by our business and regional jet business along with continued strength in commercial aerospace. We really expect continued strong performance in this EIG aerospace business throughout 2014 and the trends in OEM build rates for excellent commercial sales, while the continued ramp up that we’ve talked about before Scott, in key business and regional jet platforms, will drive significant demand for us, even though the business and regional jet market has not yet rebounded in a similar or in the way that commercial market has rebounded. So what we are estimating for all of 2014 is that EIG aerospace should be up at least mid single-digits. But process businesses also had a great quarter. Overall sales were up mid-teens on a percentage basis and organic sales were up mid single-digits. Overall growth was driven by very good core growth in ultra precision technologies. And material analysis divisions, the two we just talked about a few moments ago, combined with obviously the strong acquisitions we did in this segment which were Control Southeast, Creaform and VTI. For the full year, we expect our process businesses grow mid-teens overall with organic growth up low to mid-single digits. And again, I think it’s going to be pressing more towards the mid than the low. And the last part of EIG is power and industrial sales for that part of the business was up more than 30% in the second quarter and that growth was driven by the contributions from the acquisitions…

Frank Hermance

Management

Sure. Scott Graham – Jefferies: I think you – something you expressed a quarter or so ago was the desire to really kind of build out your power business and we really haven’t seen other than Powervar the acquisitions there in 2014. How does the pipeline look for that area that I think you are still far getting?

Frank Hermance

Management

No, it looks very good and just to add on, in addition to Powervar, which we did at the end of last year, in the first quarter we acquired Teseq and that’s a power business. So, I am pretty pleased now if you take that whole power business, it has grown to about a $0.5 billion and it also has some diversification within it. There is a roughly $220 million is in power, test and measurement equipment. There is another $200 million that is in battery back-up systems, that’s where Powervar went and there is about $80 million that’s in instrumentation that’s used in generation, transmission and distribution applications. So, for a while, we were not growing the power business. We’ve now done to – we are out of $0.5 billion and that team has there on a $1 billion and that’s the way we are thinking about it. And in terms of the pipeline, yes, there are deals that we are actively looking at in power. So, this is a good to buy because the market is just turning up and hopefully we can close some deals in this space and start to get towards that $1 billion level. Scott Graham – Jefferies: Frank, you again, thank you.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Mark Douglas with Longbow Research. Please proceed with your question. Mark Douglas – Longbow Research: Hi, good morning gentlemen.

Frank Hermance

Management

Good morning.

Robert Mandos

Management

Hi, Mark. Mark Douglas – Longbow Research: Bob, the payables?

Robert Mandos

Management

$383 million. Mark Douglas – Longbow Research: $383 million. Thank you. Frank, can you discuss the organic growth by region, maybe expand on the strong growth in Asia, but it sounds like a lot of that is you are just outgrowing the markets there with a lot of new initiatives in sales and marketing I would assume maybe some new products too. But could you just walk through what happened in the different areas?

Frank Hermance

Management

Sure, I am glad to do that. Let’s look organically, organically, in the US, we were up low single-digits and similarly in Europe, we were up low single-digits and as you stated in your question, a significant part of our growth came out of Asia where that growth was up in the mid-teens organically. If you look at the BRIC countries, just another cut, the BRIC countries were up 21% overall and about 13% organically. China, just is superb. China was up organically, almost 25% and total I think it was a number like 35%. You got that with that am I right? 35%. Mark Douglas – Longbow Research: Yes.

Frank Hermance

Management

So, all the efforts and you’ve heard me talking about the expansion in the BRIC countries, the expansion in Asia, they are really coming to fruition now and it’s just an exciting time and even though, many of our peer companies are talking about issues in China and issues in Asia. We are simply outgrowing the market from both a product point of view and also we got very strong distribution capability there now. In Asia, we have approximately 300 people who are engaged in selling our products and that doesn’t include people in some cases were using distributors were not direct sales. So it doesn’t include the number of sales people that will be on the street in essence thought those distributors. These are about 300 people that are our AMETEK employees and it’s just paying off in super dividends. And you look at the lower organic growth in Europe and the US, we actually had a pretty difficult comparison that those numbers would probably be up closer to the mid single-digit area if you took out some of the large shipments that were done last year. So, just in general, Mark, we are feeling better, we are feeling better. I can tell you that it’s easier than it was six months ago to put up the results that we are putting up and that’s because these economies are starting to move in a direction that’s helping. So, it’s a tailwind instead of a headwind. And then you couple that with all of the operational things that we are doing and that’s what has given us these really superb results. Mark Douglas – Longbow Research: Well, thanks for that. And then looking at your process business, can you discuss what’s happening in process, in particular what you are seeing in oil and gas?

Frank Hermance

Management

Yes, it’s a great question Mark and as you are aware, over the last few years, oil and gas has been the driver to process and what is happening now which actually I view quite favorably is that there is balance now across all of those process businesses. So, in essence, we saw very strong growth in the non-oil and gas business. But oil and gas results are also good. It just wasn’t at the level that it was in terms of growth a year or two ago. So we are feeling pretty good about the process businesses, because, we’ve got that broad-based strength. We’ve talked a little bit about the ultra precision technology business. That is doing even exclusive of the acquisitions is doing extremely well organically. Our med division had a really good quarter which is in the process area and also our measurement calibration technology division was fine. So, there is a broader base now and we are not as dependent just on oil and gas. Although just to expand a bit. We see true opportunities in the fracking area. There is a lot going on in fracking. We think it’s going to expand in China and other places outside the US. So there are definite opportunities for us to continue to grow in oil and gas even as the market dynamics come down a bit from where they were a year or two ago. Mark Douglas – Longbow Research: Okay, thank you.

Sure, Mark.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Christopher Glynn with Oppenheimer. Please proceed with your question. Christopher Glynn – Oppenheimer: Thanks. Good morning.

Frank Hermance

Management

Hi, Chris. Christopher Glynn – Oppenheimer: So what’s been asked, but just going back to the Asia mid-teens organic, obviously it sounds like a lot of internal execution there. But just wondered if you could kind of add some commentary on to the extent that you are you’ve really just lifted these to higher run rates versus now you have tough comps for next year with Asia?

Frank Hermance

Management

Well, no, we think that – Chris, that we are going to continue to grow. So sure, we have improved our penetration in Asia. But we don’t consider it that it’s a new plateau that is going to be flat. We are going to continue to put investments in that region. We are putting in the BRIC countries which is a little bit broader obviously than just Asia. We are putting in about 50 people this year. We are adding additional manufacturing capability in Asia and that is key to access to the markets there as you have products that are locally built. So we are just going to continue to add to those regions and if you take China for instance, even though the GDP in China has come down from the 9% to 10% region to the 7%, 7.5% region. That GDP is still heck of a lot better than the US and Europe. So, we are going to continue to put investments in those regions and if you look at what has transpired in the company and just step back, the area that we were underpenetrated in was Asia. And if you look at the mix now of that 56% that is outside the United States, the mix has gone, it’s about 30% in Europe, it’s now 20% in Asia and I can remember that number when it was 10%. So, it’s now 20% and then you got 5% or 6% in sort of the other areas of the world. So, we are getting a better balance, but we are still not there. It’s still the part of the world, where I don’t feel we have our fair share. And we are just going to continue to go after it and hopefully, although the comps will be a little bit more difficult next year. We are going to be able to show you increased performance over the levels of this year. Christopher Glynn – Oppenheimer: Thanks. Very helpful.

Hi Drew.

Unidentified Analyst

Frank, just a question on M&A going – or M&A accretion going forward. I’m not sure how quantitative you can be here but maybe just qualitative given how much – how much synergy do you expect from the Zygo acquisition and then the other acquisitions to-date? Just what you are thinking about as far as accretion into 2015?

Frank Hermance

Management

Yes, I haven’t actually quantified what that is going to be in 2015. It’s not significant in 2014. We will pick up a few pennies in 2014, but obviously as we start to put our synergies in place, and as I mentioned before, we are working through that. On Zygo, we will be able to quantify that, but I really don’t have a number right now for that.

Thank you. Our next question is coming from the line of Rob Mason – Robert W. Baird. Please proceed with your question. Robert Mason – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Yes good morning.

Frank Hermance

Management

Hi, Robert. Robert Mason – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Frank, I wanted to know, if you could give us a feel for what pricing may have contributed to the 4% core growth in the quarter? And maybe how that compares to what you were getting earlier in the year?

Frank Hermance

Management

Yes, it’s about the same and it was 1.5% in the second quarter, another measure of that, sometimes we talk about is pricing minus inflation, where inflation is essentially everything in the business. Salaries, materials, et cetera, et cetera and that number of pricing minus inflation was about 0.6%. So we focus on that. So that we do in fact, get some of the pricing to the bottom-line. So, that’s the best quantification I can give you and these are also not what I would call exact numbers, they are not the easiest thing to establish. But we have a practice in place that we are very consistent and so the numbers are comparable, but they are not what I would call a GAAP precise. Robert Mason – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Sure, that’s helpful. And perhaps I missed it when you gave the run down on the aerospace business, but how did the military portion do in the quarter and the outlook there for the balance of the year? And if you have any insight in 2015 on military, that would be helpful?

Frank Hermance

Management

It’s a great question and that was probably and has been for the first half of the year and for our forecast for the rest of the year, surprisingly good. It’s basically been in the low single-digit arena. And we are just not seeing a really major impact of sequestration in the US, US is down some, but it’s being compensated by our international military business which is about half of the overall military business. So, we actually thought it was going to be worst than what it is and I would say the outlook with everything I know in 2015 is going to be very similar. It’s not going to be a high growth segment, but it’s not going to be a major drain on the growth of the company. Robert Mason – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Okay, that’s helpful. And lastly, we spent a fair amount of time today, just discussing your ultra precision portfolio. Do you have a ballpark number on the size of the market that you are now addressing there? And give us a feel for what your share is?

Frank Hermance

Management

Yes, I think if you think about all of those businesses in UPT and you think about probably a 35% market share, and I am going to use rough numbers here, so, this is a $500 million business in very rough numbers. So, you are talking about $1.5 billion kind of market opportunity, but as you know, this business, like most AMETEK businesses is very niche-oriented. So, you can define the market in ways that either make it a very small market share or a very high market share. What I’ve given you is sort of an average of the way we think about it. But probably more importantly, it’s not only the share in that addressable market but as I said before, we have this internal process that we actually look at adjacencies around that. So we feel, we can continue to grow into other market segments. So, I mean, a great example of this, I’ll switch to a different part of the company, but when you look at the genesis of our power business, that actually came out of our aerospace business. We decided to take land gas turbines or excuse me – take aircraft engines and simply convert them to land gas turbines and that’s what got us started in the power business and now we have a $0.5 billion business. So, you can sort of expand your market by taking technologies and putting them in other market areas or just doing – take in existing products and putting them in new markets. So there is, many different ways you can do this, but I think, that one-third or 33% market share is the most best way I can answer your question. Robert Mason – Robert W. Baird & Co.: Okay, that’s great. Thanks, Frank.

I didn’t catch the last part of your question, Scott. What was that? Scott Graham – Jefferies: What was – when you say it was strong, did you mean to say that that’s because it was up more than in the third quarter or if you can give us a number or attach a number to it, that would even be better, but whatever you can do.

Okay, well, the trend is positive. It’s moving in an upward direction. The growth in orders was across the businesses it was not that we had one or two businesses that blew it out, it was – and I think that reflects the improvement in the overall global environment and when we look at July, it continued that trend. I really was focused on July. I wanted to see, how strong the orders came in and it was very good. So now, we’ll have to look at what occurs obviously in August which – this tend to be a little bit slower month and then hopefully, very, very good in September. But, I can’t really quantify it for you except to say it was broad-based. It was strong and I think it reflects the global environment from an organic viewpoint. Scott Graham – Jefferies: Thanks very much.
