Whirlpool Corp on Monday reported better-than-expected results for the first quarter, mainly on the back of strong demand for its refrigerators and washing machines in North America – its largest market. 据路透社报道称，主要得益于其最大市场北美的冰箱和洗衣机的强劲需求，惠而浦集团（以下简称：惠而浦）于本周一公布了其好于预期的第1季度业绩。 Whirlpool, like many consumer products makers, has had to raise prices to combat higher raw material costs and supply chain pressures. 为减轻原材料成本的上涨和来自供应链的压力，如同其他的消费品厂商一样，惠而浦不得不提价。 These price increases helped the company post an over 400-basis-point sequential increase in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin for the North America region in the first quarter. 价格上涨，帮助惠而浦在第1季度北美地区的 EBIT (息税前利润)连续增长了400多个基点。 Shares of the home appliances maker, which also reaffirmed its full-year revenue and adjusted profit forecast, were up 3 per cent after the bell on Monday. 作为一家家电厂商，惠而浦还重申了全年收益和调整后的利润预期，其股价在周一收盘后上涨了3%。 Whirlpool reported an adjusted profit of $2.66 per share for the quarter ended March 31, beating analysts' estimates of $2.28 per share, according to Refinitiv data. 依据Refinitiv 的数据，惠而浦公布截至3月31日的季度调整后每股收益为2.66 美元，高于分析师预期的每股2.28美元。 The company's net sales fell 5.5 per cent to $4.65 billion, but came ahead of expectations of $4.50 billion. 尽管惠而浦的净销售额下跌5.5%至46.5美元，要大于预期的45亿美元。 1、strong demand 强劲的需求 2、combat 减轻，防止 3、home appliance 家用电器 |
