Precision Castparts has achieved solid top- and bottom-line growth not only through its legacy operations, but also through acquisition of businesses specifically targeted to complement those operations. With a focus on aerospace and power markets, acquisition candidates are selected in accordance with our core capabilities: production of complex components for critical applications; a direct relationship with the original equipment manufacturer; process control; similarity in metals or technologies; and improvement of underperforming assets. We value businesses fairly and, as disciplined buyers, will pay a reasonable multiple based on that valuation. To date, our acquisitions have been immediately accretive to earnings, with post-acquisition synergies generating increased shareholder value.
