'Organic revenue grew 7% with broad-based contributions from each of our four segments, including strong organic growth across our portfolio of software businesses. Our solid cash flow performance allowed us to reduce debt by approximately $375 million in the second quarter, bringing our total leverage reduction to $1.4 billion since completing our 2020 acquisitions.'
'Our outstanding first half performance was driven by accelerating recurring revenue growth, broadly improving end-market conditions, and ongoing benefits from the enhanced quality of our portfolio.
