Adjusted earnings totaled $0.54 per share. Agilent said revenue rose more than 30%, to $1.38 billion. The company, which makes electronic testing equipment, saw a 62% increase in revenue from its chemicals analysis division. That was helped by the addition of Varian (VAR), which it acquired in May.
