In context

.3% and earnings growth of 12%. Giving us confidence to raise our full year guidance across all the financial metrics on Slide 9.

Given the higher earnings growth, and progress in working capital, we have increased our free cash flow guidance by $100 million to a $4.7 billion to $4.9 billion implying conversion greater than 100%.
