Milwaukee, Wis.—Global water technology company A. O. Smith Corporation (NYSE:AOS) today announced a 24 percent increase in net earnings on record second quarter sales.

Second quarter sales for the North America segment increased more than 13 percent to $534.2 million compared with second quarter 2017 sales of $470.7 million.
