Accordingly, there's no change in our expectation for fiscal 2026 operating profit to grow materially faster than revenue. Given our Q1 results, we're raising our underlying fiscal 2026 EPS growth expectation, which excludes the impact of tariffs to 4.5% versus the prior 4%. FX is now a flat to 1% benefit to fiscal '26 EPS. Including the impact of tariffs, we're now guiding EPS in the range of $5.60 to $5.66, a raise from our prior range of $5.50 to $5.60.
