WILSONVILLE, Ore., July 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FLIR Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:FLIR) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014. Revenue was $369.4 million, down 5% compared to second quarter 2013 revenue of $389.3 million. Operating income in the second quarter was $59.4 million, compared to $70.3 million in the second quarter of 2013, and was impacted by $3.5 million in pretax charges related to previously-announced restructuring initiatives. Second quarter 2014 net income was $44.8 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared with net income of $50.2 million, or $0.35 per diluted share in the second quarter a year ago. The net after tax impact of the restructuring charges in the second quarter was approximately $2.7 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. Cash provided by operations in the second quarter was $70.6 million.

Revenue from FLIR's Surveillance segment was $105.8 million, a decrease of 28% from the second quarter results last year. The Instruments segment contributed $84 million of revenue during the second quarter, up 5% from the prior year. The OEM & Emerging Markets segment had $59 million of revenue, an increase of 21% over the prior year.

"Second quarter results were marked by double-digit growth in our commercially-oriented segments and an improved backlog overall," said Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR. "These positive indicators, combined with the anticipated benefit from our restructuring and realignment initiatives, give us confidence in our outlook for the second half of 2014. We are excited about our recent and upcoming product introductions and the momentum being exhibited in many parts of the business."
