The facts
Third-quarter reported diluted EPS was US$6.45, compared with US$5.74 a year earlier. Adjusted diluted EPS, a non-GAAP measure, was US$6.57 versus US$5.75. [1]
Revenue was approximately US$5.6 billion, up 9% year-on-year. [1]
The company said some costs shifted from the third quarter into the fourth, contributing to the quarterly performance. Fuel and currency movements partly offset the improvement in its annual forecast. [1][2]
