What management said

  • As a reminder, we successfully completed the separation of our Precision Technologies segment, now operating independently as Rallian, on June 28, 2025.
  • Our results and outlook discussed today are on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise specified.
  • First, our teams are executing very well with laser focus on driving profitable organic growth with the power of our Fortive Business System.
  • This drove solid results ahead of our expectations, including core growth of roughly 2%, adjusted EBITDA growth of 10%, and adjusted EPS growth of 15%.
  • Though we aspire for much better as we continue executing our growth strategy, we were pleased to see acceleration in the business.
  • We now expect to deliver between $2.63 and $2.67 per share, reflecting our adjusted EPS overperformance in the third quarter, the impact of incremental Q3 buybacks, and our otherwise unchanged view on Q4.
  • Third, we deployed capital in the quarter in accordance with our new approach anchored in delivering the strongest relative returns for shareholders.
  • During the third quarter, we deployed $1 billion to share repurchases, retiring approximately 21 million shares or 6% of our fully diluted share count.
  • We are focused on delivering benchmark-beating shareholder returns by leveraging FBS to accelerate profitable organic growth, allocating capital intelligently to optimize shareholder returns over the medium to long term, and rebuilding investor trust.
  • This marks a further foray into the high-growth solar operations vertical and increases customer productivity by reducing troubleshooting time and decreasing hazard exposures in the quarter.
  • We also recently stepped up our efforts in South Asia, including India, as our region continues to see exceptional economic growth.
  • We saw significant acceleration in the region across both segments, and we are confident that our enhanced regional presence will drive strong momentum in this high-growth region in the years to come.
