What changed this quarter
Revenue was $15.7B in Q3 2026, up 1% year over year and down 1% from the previous quarter.
Operating profit was $0.93B, a 5.9% margin (down 0.9 points year over year). Operating profit fell $0.13B even though revenue rose $0.16B versus Q3 2025, so costs grew faster than sales. Total costs grew 2% against revenue growth of 1%. Net earnings were $1.1B, down 10% year over year. The effective tax rate was 18.6%. Non-operating items added $0.38B, 29% of pre-tax earnings, so the bottom line overstates operating performance.
Operating cash flow was $1.6B (up 5% year over year), 151% of net earnings. Non-cash charges added back $0.31B of depreciation and amortization and $0.14B of share-based compensation. Working capital and other items added $0.09B. Capital expenditures of $0.75B left free cash flow of $0.86B.
