Shortcut’s reasoning.

The segment build forecasts adjusted diluted EPS of $2.34 versus the Street’s $2.32. It retains a 46.5% International adjusted operating margin, a −1.5% IC mix effect and $70m in equity income.

These are optimistic assumptions. The model’s implied operating expenses decline despite the announced Q3 SG&A phasing, which the build does not incorporate. Holding operating expenses at Q2 lowers EPS by about $0.030; using historical-average IC mix lowers it by about $0.045. The original judgments and forecast remain on the record.

On the record.
