“This should lead to somewhat improved earnings over our last estimate.”

In context

“o let me provide you our operating forecast for 2025 with some specifics around our outlook for each business group and then the company-wide rollup. For 2025, we now expect Aerospace revenue of around $12.9 billion, up around $250 million over prior estimate. Gulfstream deliveries will be $150 million to $155 million, up a little over our previous estimate. We anticipate a 13.5% operating margin for the year, 20 basis points lower than our earlier estimate. The third quarter operating margin will be about the same as this quarter with a somewhat better fourth quarter. In short, revenue is up on more deliveries, margin is down a little due to mix in airplane deliveries and at the service businesses. In Combat, we expect revenue of about $9.2 billion, coupled with a 14.5% operating margin. This should lead to somewhat improved earnings over our last estimate. As noted earlier, the Marine Group has been on a remarkable but difficult growth journey. It will continue during the rest of 2025, albeit at slightly lower growth rate. Our outlook for this year now anticipates revenue around $15.6 billion with operating margin of 7%, which should provide better earnings than previously estimated. In Technologies, we are making no change to the 2025 revenue and earnings estimate provided at the beginning of the year. So for 2025 company-wide, we expect to see revenue of approximately $51.2 billion and operating margin of 10.3%. The revenue estimate is increased by $900 million and the overall operating margin held constant. You have already heard Kim's commentary about our estimate for increased cash for the year. All of this rolls up to an increased EPS”
