In context
“a key priority. In support of that goal, year-to-date, we have paid down approximately $2.25 billion in maturing debt, including $1 billion in May of outstanding notes. And though we did not monetize any Haleon shares in Q2, we expect to resume monetization of our 23% Haleon stake in the future. I would also note that once our Haleon ownership is less than 20%, our accounting will transition from recording equity income and will no longer be included in our adjusted results. This change is factored into our long-term financial planning and as well as our guidance. As we’ve previously stated previously, we expect operating cash flow to be significantly below typical levels this year and particularly during the first half of 2024, due to the timing of certain payments and one-time expenses.

Despite this near-term pressure, clearly, our objective remains to return to a more balanced capital allocation strategy over time.

With a successful first half now complete, we believe it is appropriate to update our full year earnings outlook to reflect our strong business performance. I’ll remind you that our revised guidance assumes the seasonal cadence of our product portfolio, and that we expect Paxlovid results to trend with infection rates. With that said, we are raising our full year revenue range by $1 billion and our adjusted diluted earnings per share by $0.30. We now expect revenues in the rang”
