Stephen Williamson · CFO
How to check this claim
Look at: Total capital deployed in 2025 (acquisitions, share buybacks, and dividends combined), as disclosed by the company
It came true if: Total capital deployment >= $7.2 billion (within ~5% of the $7.6 billion guidance)
Where: Company Q4/full-year 2025 earnings release and call (cash flow statement, capital allocation commentary)
In context
“increase in tariff rates between the U.S. and Europe that occurred since the time of our last guidance. The changes in tariffs and trade policy once again caused intra-quarter volatility in FX rates in Q3, as a result, FX in Q3 was $220 million revenue tailwind to our prior guide, and a $0.10 adjusted EPS headwind. So for the full year, we now expect FX to be a year-over-year tailwind to revenue of $230 million and a headwind to adjusted operating income and adjusted EPS of $110 million and $0.37 respectively. Below the line, we now expect net interest expense to be $440 million in 2025, and we continue to expect an adjusted tax rate of 10.5% for the full year. We expect between $1.4 billion and $1.7 billion of net capital expenditures and around $7 billion of free cash flow for the year. Then in terms of capital deployment, our guidance now assumes that we deploy $7.6 billion of capital in 2025. $4 billion on the recently closed acquisitions, $3 billion on already completed share buybacks, and $600 million of capital return to shareholders through dividends. Finally, we estimate that full-year average diluted share count will be approximately 378 million shares. So to conclude, we delivered an excellent Q3, we're in a great position to deliver on our 2025 objectives. With that, I'll turn the call back over to Raf.
