In context
“. Moving on now to non-China-related tariffs, these recently raised tariffs are increasing our costs where we directly import items into the U.S. but also likely increase the cost of many items that we buy in the U.S. that have overseas content.

Then in terms of the changes in US policy focus, the largest impact is likely to be on our US academic and government customers. We now expect their purchases to be more muted in 2025, especially for instruments and equipment, as we evaluate the impact of potential changes to government funding and work out how to access new funding sources to continue their critical work. We're baking into our guidance a lower level of clinical trials work also related to vaccine studies. Net of appropriate cost management, these changes to US policy focus reduced our guidance midpoint by $500 million of revenue, $150 million of operating income, and $0.30 of adjusted EPS. The tariffs and policy changes are also creating some very relevant medium and long-term opportunities, and we're working to maximize”
