Event / data period:
Published: · Updated:

The reported operating margin was 15.9%, compared with an adjusted operating margin of 26.2%. Adjusted diluted earnings rose 10.3% to 3.52 dollars per share. Adjusted results exclude specified acquisition, integration, impairment, regulatory, legal and other items, so they differ from reported accounting results.
The company repurchased 1.0 billion dollars of shares during the quarter and said its board increased the existing repurchase programme by 3.0 billion dollars in October. The additional authorisation is separate from completed purchases. Full-year adjusted earnings guidance was 14.80–14.90 dollars per diluted share, a forecast rather than a quarterly result.
