1327 ET - Agilent Technologies CEO Padraig McDonnell says a winter storm in the U.S. hurt topline in the latest quarter, hitting during the last week of January, a critical week for shipments. "This is typically the busiest shipping week of the quarter," McDonnell says during a call with analysts. McDonnell says the weather meant Agilent's logistics providers couldn't ship products from its main logistics center in Memphis, Tenn. for three days, posing a $10 million hit to revenue. He says the majority of that hit was recovered at the beginning of February. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
