In context
“lly offset by inflation, mix, and investments. Corporate costs and eliminations are up year over year to $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion from lower interest income, AI investments, and higher eliminations from internal BAT growth. In total, we expect low double-digit revenue growth for the company, with profit in the range of $9.85 billion to $10.25 billion, up $1 billion or more than 10% at the midpoint. Further unpacking the drivers of EPS and free cash flow growth, we expect EPS in the range of $7.10 to $7.40, up nearly 15% at the midpoint. About 85% of the improvement will be from higher operating profit. The balance will be from a marginal improvement in the tax rate to below 17% and a reduction of 18 million shares from our previously completed and announced capital allocation actions. Interest expense is expected to be roughly $900 million. We expect to generate $8 billion to $8.4 billion of free cash flow, primarily from higher earnings. Working capital and AD&A combined will be a source year-over-year from slower inventory growth. We continue to expect CapEx at roughly 3% of sales. Overall, we expect another year of conversion solidly above 100%. Taken together, GE Aerospace is poised for another year of solid growth ahead. Larry Culp: Rahul, thank you. 2025 was another outstanding year. Our sustained competitive advantages support our in our leadership positions across both commercial and defense.
