This outlook does not include any potential impacts related to the February 20, 2026 Supreme Court ruling on IEEPA tariffs or subsequent actions by the U.S. administration. Certain items impacting the GAAP tax rate pertain to future events and are not currently estimable with a reasonable degree of accuracy; therefore, no reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share to non-GAAP has been provided.
