Guidance

Full-Year 2025 Outlook

Our guidance for 2025 is provided below. We expect full-year 2025 organic growth to be broadly in line with the prior year (6%). Despite the adverse USD exchange rate movement, the absence of last year’s pension gain, and additional restructuring, we expect the adjusted operating profit margin in reported currency to be near the top end of the range, supported by most divisions.
