The company reported net income of $56.1 million, or $1.49 a share, compared with $59.8 million, or $1.60 a share, in the same quarter last year. Revenue was $3.33 billion, down from $3.46 billion in the prior-year quarter.

The company’s board, at its June meeting, voted to raise its quarterly dividend by 13% to 43 cents per share.
