In context

“nd gas and favorable price realization. We expect strong sales growth in Construction Industries in the second quarter versus the prior year, mainly due to strong sales to users supported by the backlog and favorable price realization. We anticipate a more typical sequential sales increase in the second quarter as compared to the first. In contrast to the sizable sales increase we saw a year ago, following a lighter first quarter, which was impacted by the lack of dealer inventory build. In Resource Industries, we also expect strong sales growth versus the prior year primarily due to higher sales of users. We also anticipate favorable price realization with the primary driver being geographic mix. Now I'll provide some color on our second quarter margin expectations versus the prior year. Excluding tariff costs, we expect higher margins at the enterprise level, primarily due to price realization and higher volumes. But partially offset by higher manufacturing costs and SG&A and R&D expenses. The higher manufacturing costs assume unfavorable cost absorption and investments to support higher volume and capacity investments, including depreciation. SG&A and R&D expenses will reflect investments and higher compensation expense. Despite the ongoing impact of tariffs, we also expect higher margins in the second quarter versus the prior year. We anticipate tariff costs of around $700 million. This remains a headwind compared to the impact last year, which was around $400 million. We expect about 50% of the tariff cost to be incurred in Construction Industries and 25% in both Power and Energy and Resource Industries. Now on to the second quarter margins by segment. In Power and Energy, including tariffs, we”
