“profit of $9.85 billion to $10.25 billion”

In context

“hnologies grew 29% with growth across the portfolio led by Avio Aero. Profit grew 17% from increased volume and price. Margins were down 20 basis points to 11.8% driven by mix, investments, and inflation. DPT delivered a solid first quarter with continued demand strength and improved output. Moving to guidance on slide 12: Our first quarter exceeded expectations, given stronger spare parts sales growth and shop visits increase. We have a robust backlog supporting our growth for several years, and we are taking actions to navigate the current environment. Due to the dynamic macroeconomic backdrop, we are maintaining our guidance across the board, and as Larry mentioned, given our strong start to the year, we are trending towards the high end of the range of low double-digit revenue growth; profit of $9.85 billion to $10.25 billion; EPS of $7.10 to $7.40; and free cash flow of $8 billion to $8.4 billion for total company. We are also maintaining segment guidance for both CES and DPT, with a similar trend towards the higher end. Our guidance is based on full-year departures growth of flat to low single digits and is underpinned by the following assumptions: fuel prices remain elevated above current levels through the third quarter and decrease to current levels by year-end; a near-term impact from fuel availability in certain geographical regions; a global reduction in GDP growth impacting air travel demand. This guidance does not contemplate a global recession unfolding. Near term, orders continue to be strong, and we expect the strength in the first quarter to continue into the second quarter, with 95% of spare par”
