In context
“nts. As we highlighted previously, we are investing in a metered manner while maintaining the critical growth investments to support our strategic priorities. Finally, as mentioned, we have now included tariffs in the guidance which is a gross headwind of $0.20, partially offset by the foreign exchange headwind reduction from $0.15 to $0.05. On the other nonoperational items, there is no change from the prior guidance. Putting this all together, the EPS growth year-on-year is driven by strong operational improvement, and we now expect an operational benefit of $0.95 to $1.20, partially offset by $0.50 of tariff, FX and non-op headwinds for a total EPS growth of 6% to 10%. Regarding the second half, we expect year-on-year earnings growth of $0.18 at the midpoint. Similar to the first half, this includes an approximately $0.50 to $0.55 benefit from volume growth and continued productivity net of stranded cost and growth investments, which is partially offset by $0.30 to $0.35 of tariff impact and higher interest expense. Before we open the call for questions, I would like to acknowledge and thank the 3M team for their focus on operational excellence and controlling the controllables in a dynamic macro environment which gives us confidence in meeting our increased guidance and delivering strong shareholder returns in 2025. With that, let's open the line for questions. Operator: [Operator Instructions]. Our first question comes from the line of Scott Davis with Melius Research. Scott Davis: Bill, can you talk about the new product plan? And I guess, kind of more specifically teasing out the impact on kind of margin versus growth? And how you think about the tipping point where you can really start to see growth above your end markets? I'll just like to it that, I have a follow-on. William Brown: So Scott,”
