Shortcut’s reasoning.

Pre-incident run-rate built by business ~ $5.28bn, in line with the Jul-29 3Q26 guide (3-5% growth, $0.80-0.82 adj. EPS): base businesses ~+6%, U.S. WATCHMAN and U.S. EP down mid-single digits sequentially as guided.

Aug-25 cyber incident halted global manufacturing/shipping for ~8 days (CEO); operations fully restored Sep-9; company 8-K says Q3 guidance unlikely to be met. Model: 8/92 days lost x 45% not recaptured = ~3.9% (~$206m) net sales loss -> ~$5.07bn.

Drop-through: ~70% adjusted gross margin on lost sales plus ~$35m idle-plant/expedite cost, offset by ~$35m variable-cost flex; adj. op margin ~25.9% vs 28.4% in Q2; BTL $125m; 12% tax; 1,451m diluted shares -> $0.72 adj. EPS.

On the record.
