How to check this claim

Look at: Energy & Transportation segment operating margin/profit headwind attributable to incremental net tariff costs in Q2 2025, relative to full-year net tariff cost estimate for the segment

It came true if: Disclosed or calculable incremental tariff-related headwind for Energy & Transportation in Q2 2025 approximates 25% of the segment's full-year net tariff cost estimate (within a few percentage points)

Where: Company Q2 2025 earnings release and earnings call segment commentary (Energy & Transportation results and tariff impact discussion)

In context

on to $350 million to be incurred in Construction Industries. In Resource Industries, similar to Construction Industries, a strong prior year margin sets a challenging comparison in the second quarter. Excluding any tariff impacts, we would have expected lower margins versus the prior year, primarily due to unfavorable price, which I commented on a moment ago, and higher SG&A and R&D costs. In addition, Resource Industries will be expected to incur an additional headwind of about 25% of the net tariff quarters -- tariff costs in the second quarter. In Energy & Transportation, excluding any tariff impacts, we would have expected slightly higher margins compared to the prior year with favorable volume and price realization, partially offset by manufacturing costs and SG&A and R&D increases. For Energy & Transportation, we would be expected to incur an additional headwind of about 25% of the net tariff costs in the second quarter. So turning to slide 18, let me summarize. Despite the evolving environment, we would expect the range of sales will be flattish to slightly lower as we -- and we currently expect to be comfortably within our target ranges for adjusted operating profit margins and ME&T free cash flow. Business activity and customer financial health remains resilient, while our balance sheet and liquidity positions are strong. We continue to reward our shareholders deploying $4.3 billion of cash in the quarter. We continue to execute our strategy for long-term profitable growth. And with that, we'll take your questions. Operator: Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session [Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from Michael Feniger at Bank of America. Michael Feniger: Good mornin
