“we are maintaining our guide of operating margin improvement by 300 basis points versus 2024. This improvement takes into consideration the dilution from the IntraCellular transaction as well as what we know today about the impact of tariffs on our business.”

In context

“w expect operational sales growth for the full year to be in the range of 3.3% to 4.3% with a midpoint of $92 billion or 3.8%. Excluding the impact from acquisitions and divestitures, we are maintaining our adjusted operational sales growth to the range of 2% to 3% compared to 2024. As you know, we don't speculate on future currency movements, and last quarter, we utilized the euro spot rate relative to the US dollar of 1.04. Last week, the euro spot rate relative to the US dollar was 1.11.

As such, we now expect reported sales growth between 2.6% to 3.6% with a midpoint of $91.4 billion or 3.1%. Turning to other notable items on the P&L, we are maintaining our guide of operating margin improvement by 300 basis points versus 2024.

Despite $0.25 dilution from the IntraCellular acquisition, including the impact of tariffs, based on what is in place today, we are pleased to be able to maintain our adjusted reported earnings per share guidance of 6.2% at the midpoint for a range of $10.50 to $10.70, partially aided by the reduced FX impact. I'll now provide some qualitative considerations on phasing for your models. We continue to expect both innovative medicine and MedTech operational sales growth to be higher in the second half of t”
