The revenue decline was attributed to lower revenue from both the Communications Solutions Group and the Electronic Industrial Solutions Group.
Net income for the three and six months ended April 30, 2024, was $126 million and $298 million, respectively, compared to $283 million and $543 million for the same periods last year.
