It came true if: Adjusted operating profit margin, ex-tariff impact, falls in the top half of the company's disclosed target margin range

In context

wer versus the prior year. Given the strength of our three -- across our three primary segments, we now expect full year 2025 sales and revenues to be higher than we previously anticipated, resulting in modest growth versus 2024. We continue to expect full year services revenues to be about flat versus 2024. Based on the incremental tariffs announced in 2025 and expected to be in place by November 1, we expect the full year net impact from tariffs to be between $1.6 billion and $1.75 billion. Tariff and trade negotiations remain fluid. Our team is continuously evaluating options to further reduce the impact of tariffs going forward, and we fully intend to implement longer-term actions once there is sufficient certainty. I remain confident that we'll manage the impact of tariffs over time. Excluding the net impact of incremental tariffs, full year adjusted operating profit margin is expected to be in the top half of our target margin range. Including the net impact from incremental tariffs, we expect full year adjusted operating profit margin to be near the bottom of the target range, corresponding to our current expectation for full year sales and revenues. This margin estimate includes the initial mitigating actions already implemented and currently planned throughout the rest of the year. We also expect ME&T free cash flow to be above the midpoint of the $5 billion to $10 billion target range. Andrew will provide more details on key assumptions for the fourth quarter and full year in a moment. To further support our sales outlook, I'll now share the latest view of our end markets. Starting with Construction Industries. As I mentioned earlier, we're encouraged by another quarter of growth in sales to users and strong order
