S&P Global reported higher revenue in the second quarter, lifted by sales growth across its businesses.

The New York-based credit-ratings and data provider reported a profit of $511 million, or $1.60 a share, down from a profit of $972 million, or $2.86 a share, in the same quarter a year ago.

Stripping out one-time items, earnings came to $3.12 a share, matching expectations of analysts polled by FactSet.

Sales rose 4% to $3.10 billion. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected $3.05 billion.

Sales rose across all of the company's businesses, excluding its engineering-solutions business, which it has agreed to sell for $975 million to private-equity buyers. S&P Global's ratings business recorded a 7% rise in sales and its market-intelligence unit posted a 5% increase in sales.
