“And we've also embedded in the guidance $0.04 to $0.05 of dilution coming from M&A activity.”
Thierry Pieton · CFO
How to check this claim
Look at: EPS dilution from M&A activity (Cath Works and Antares deals) embedded in fiscal 2027 guidance
It came true if: Reported/confirmed M&A-related EPS dilution between $0.04 and $0.05 per share for fiscal year 2027
Where: Company guidance commentary and reconciliation in quarterly earnings releases/calls (Q4 FY2026 release and subsequent FY2027 quarterly releases)
In context
“year. I think the way to think about that is about $75 million per quarter. So on a full year basis, it means around $300 million of our headwind versus the $185 million we had in -- what we're having in '26. We'll have a little bit of help from the fact that there's 53 weeks in fiscal year '27 as opposed to 52 usually. And then the Diabetes deal, we fully expect the deal to be accretive. But between the moment we do the IPO and the moment we do the split, you should expect some dilution to the tune of $0.01 to $0.02 per month. The reason behind that is that most of the stock -- the Medtronic stock retirement that we will do that drives the accretion happens only upon the separation. And so we'll see the accretion later. But initially, we've got a little bit of pressure coming from that. And we've also embedded in the guidance $0.04 to $0.05 of dilution coming from M&A activity. So we've already announced Cath Works and Antares. And so we've embedded that in the guidance. So it's all in as we get more visibility to the timing of Diabetes and the closing of the M&A deals, we'll give you more specifics on the different impacts in the Q4 release. But as you can see, we're committed to the growth acceleration. We're committed to the investment with M&A and with R&D, and we're committed to the guidance. Geoffrey Martha: Yes. And just on [indiscernible] acceleration. Go ahead, Travis. Travis Steed: There's an extra selling week next year. Is that -- is the growth acceleration excluding the extra selling day? Thierry Pieton: So that will be part of it. That will be part of it. And again, we'll give you the details of the impact as we go into the Q4 announcement. Geoffre”
