Key financial metrics for the third quarter included an operating margin of 33.4%, up from 32.0% in the prior year. Earnings per share (EPS) grew 8% to $0.93. The company noted that comparable EPS (non-GAAP) grew 11% to $0.91, driven by organic revenue growth and currency tailwinds, partially offset by increased marketing investments and operating expenses.
