The $0.17 per share quarterly dividend represents a 2.0 percent increase over the previous dividend, which equated to a split-adjusted dividend of $0.1667 per share. “Operating results for the first half of the year improved in both segments compared to the prior year,” stated President and Chief Executive Officer Bruce G.
