“This outlook assumes a range of $100 to $160 million in BT tariff impacts in the fourth quarter, or $0.03 to $0.05 per share.”

In context

“approximately $200 million after tax, which equates to a headwind of $0.08 per share for fiscal 2025. We continue to expect lower non-operating income benefits for the fiscal year. As a reminder, the fourth-quarter base period includes the gain from the divestiture of our Vidal Sassoon brand in China.

While China accounts for just over 10% of total imports exposure to the US, the size of the tariff rate makes the cost impact more substantial. The largest impact of responsive tariffs on US exports is from the finished products shipped from the US to Canada. We will be looking for every opportunity to mitigate the impact, including sourcing flexibility and productivity improvements. We also need to consider s”
