The company increased its guidance for 2009 diluted earnings per share to at least $1.97 versus the previous expectation of at least $1.93. This guidance reflects strong year-to-date profit performance and a reduction in its full-year effective tax rate to approximately 30% versus the previous expectation of approximately 31.5%. The company also revised its forecast for 2009 organic net revenue growth to be approximately 2% versus a prior expectation of approximately 3%. The change in outlook primarily reflects a lower contribution from pricing as a result of lower-than-expected input costs. As a result of its increased profit guidance, as well as the benefit of improved working capital management, the company raised its outlook for full-year discretionary cash flow to at least $3.0 billion versus its previous estimate of $2.6 billion.
