In context
“ull year impact of tariffs implemented since the beginning of 2025 and in place over the course of this year. This compares to the $2.6 billion estimate we provided last quarter. Let me provide some additional context on our tariff assumptions. The bottom line is our expectation for tariff cost in the second through fourth quarters has not changed significantly since January. Based on the recent ruling on IEEPA tariffs by the U.S. Supreme Court, we removed these tariffs from our estimate and added Section 122 tariffs.

And our anticipated global estimated annual effective tax rate remains approximately 23% for '26, excluding discrete items. We now anticipate MP&E free cash flow will be higher than the $9.5 billion last year, an improvement versus our expectations last quarter, reflecting our improved outlook. While our CapEx forecast for 2026 remains approximately $3.5 billion. As Joe discussed, we are increasing our large reciprocating engine capacity from 2x to nearly 3x 2024 levels with additional CapEx spend occurring primarily from 2027 to 2029. We now anticipate MP&E CapEx spend to average approximately 4% to 5% of MP&E sales through 2030. Capital spend for our large engine capacity expansion is supported by strong demand signals and confidence in a positive cash payback by the end of the day. We”
