Inflation in the U.S. has also had an impact on our input costs and pricing. The Producer Price Index (PPI), published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output. PPI growth has remained in the low single digits during the second quarter, which is consistent with the prior five quarters. Producer prices continue to remain elevated, however, year over year increases remain decelerated from the surges in 2023 and 2022.

In the second quarter of 2025, sales to customers outside the U.S. accounted for less than half of our total sales. These customers include both indigenous companies and multinational companies with a global presence. In addition to the global factors previously mentioned in the Overview section, international demand, particularly in emerging markets, has historically been driven by the strength of the industrial economy in each region, investments in infrastructure, and expanding consumer markets. We use changes in key countries' gross domestic product (GDP), IP, and PMI as indicators of the growth opportunities in each region where we do business. Industrial output outside the U.S. was mostly positive in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Manufacturing PMI readings outside the U.S were mixed with readings in Asia Pacific generally better than readings in Europe, Canada, and Mexico.

Based on currently enacted tariffs, we estimate our cost exposure to be about $125 million for the second half of 2025. We continue to manage the impact of tariffs through actions including pricing and the use of alternative sources of materials and redundant manufacturing locations. Resiliency actions we took in recent years enable us to build certain high value product lines in more than one geographic location. In consideration of these mitigating actions, tariff costs are expected to be neutral to EPS in the current year.

Current wording

Net gains and losses related to derivative forward exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges offset the related gains and losses on the hedged items during the periods in which the hedged items are recognized in earnings. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we reclassified $1 million in pre-tax net losses related to cash flow hedges reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we reclassified $6 million in pre-tax net gains related to cash flow hedges reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, we reclassified $5 million and $18 million, respectively, in pre-tax net gains related to cash flow hedges from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2025, we expect that approximately $18 million of pre-tax net unrealized losses on cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months.
