“Excluding the impact of a gain on disposition in 2026 of 86 percentage points, employee severance charges in 2025 of 7 percentage points and ELT transition costs in 2025 of 2 percentage points, partially offset by higher amortization of intangibles from acquisitions in 2026 of 4 percentage points, higher disposition-related costs in 2026 of 1 percentage point and higher acquisition-related costs in 2026 of 1 percentage point, operating profit increased 11% primarily due to revenue growth, partially offset by expenses associated with recent acquisitions, higher compensation costs and an increase in bad debt expense.”
“Interest Expense, net Interest expense, net increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to an increase in interest expense related to the issuance of our senior notes in December of 2025 and increased expense related to commercial paper borrowings in 2026 to partially finance the Company's ASR agreement entered into in February of 2026 and short-term working capital requirements.”
“The decrease in the unearned revenue balance at March 31, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025 is primarily driven by $ 1.8 billion of revenues recognized that were included in the unearned revenue balance at the beginning of the period, offset by cash payments received in advance of satisfying our performance obligations.”
