Third Quarter of 2024 (Q3 2024) Guidance
For Q3 2024, we expect a negative $0.16 to $0.22 per share (pre-tax) aggregate impact on net earnings on an IFRS basis for employee stock-based compensation (SBC) expense, amortization of intangible assets (excluding computer software), and restructuring charges. For Q3 2024, we also expect a non-IFRS adjusted effective tax rate* of approximately 20%, without accounting for foreign exchange impacts or unanticipated tax settlements.
2024 Annual Outlook Update
Building on our strong performance in Q2 2024, we are updating our 2024 outlook to the following:
- revenue of $9.45 billion (our previous outlook was $9.1 billion);
- non-IFRS operating margin* of 6.3% (our previous outlook was 6.1%); and
- non-IFRS adjusted EPS* of $3.62 (our previous outlook was $3.30).
Our previous non-IFRS adjusted free cash flow* outlook of $250 million for 2024 remains unchanged. The above outlook assumes an annual non-IFRS adjusted effective tax rate* of approximately 19% (which does not account for foreign exchange impacts or unanticipated tax settlements).
