    Linde’s sales for the first quarter were $8,112 million, flat versus prior year. Compared to prior year, underlying sales increased 1% from 2% price attainment partially offset by 1% lower volumes largely driven by the manufacturing and metals & mining end markets.

    First-quarter operating profit was $2,184 million. Adjusted operating profit of $2,438 million was up 4% versus prior year led by higher price and continued productivity initiatives across all segments. Adjusted operating profit margin of 30.1% was 120 basis points above prior year.

    First-quarter operating cash flow of $2,161 million increased 11% versus prior year. After capital expenditures of $1,270 million, free cash flow was $891 million. During the quarter, the company returned $1,808 million to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases, net of issuances.

    Commenting on the financial results and business outlook, Chief Executive Officer Sanjiv Lamba said, “While first quarter macroeconomic headwinds largely played out as anticipated, Linde employees delivered another resilient performance by expanding operating margins 120 basis points to 30.1%, growing EPS (excluding FX) by 8%, and maintaining industry leading return on capital of 25.7%. These results were achieved through disciplined capital allocation and proactive management actions.”

    Lamba continued, “Looking forward, while we remain cautious on the economic outlook, I’m confident the Linde business model can continue to create shareholder value in any environment.”

    For the second quarter of 2025, Linde expects adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $3.95 to $4.05, up 3% to 5% versus prior-year quarter or 5% to 7% when excluding 2% of estimated currency headwind.

    For the full year 2025, the company expects adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $16.20 to $16.50, up 4% to 6% versus prior year or 6% to 8% when excluding 2% of estimated currency headwind. Full-year capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $5.0 billion to $5.5 billion to support growth and maintenance requirements including the $7.0 billion contractual sale of gas project backlog.
