"notes": [
"Fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023 come from the consolidated statements of income and cash flows in Linde plc's fiscal 2025 Form 10-K (accession 0001628280-26-011430); the December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 balance sheets come from the same filing. The quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the June 30, 2026 balance sheet, come from the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (accession 0001628280-26-051289).",
"These two filings are the whole of this record. The 10-K prints balance sheets for December 31, 2025 and 2024 only, so fiscal 2023 is reported with an income statement and a cash flow statement and no balance sheet. The 10-Q prints a balance sheet at June 30, 2026 with December 31, 2025 as its comparative, so the year-ago quarter (Q2 2025) carries an income statement and segment detail but no balance sheet.",
"The 10-Q's condensed balance sheet groups three lines that the 10-K's balance sheet shows separately: equity investments inside other long-term assets, accrued taxes inside other current liabilities, and deferred credits inside other long-term liabilities. At December 31, 2025 those groupings tie to the annual balance sheet exactly ($3,419 million + $2,015 million = $5,434 million; $4,171 million + $680 million = $4,851 million; $4,355 million + $6,840 million = $11,195 million), so the two filings agree. The June 30, 2026 balance sheet here follows the 10-Q's grouping; the annual balance sheets follow the 10-K's more detailed one.",
"Total debt is not a line Linde prints. It is stated here as short-term debt plus the current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt: $26,989 million at December 31, 2025, $21,623 million at December 31, 2024 and $28,013 million at June 30, 2026.",
"Free cash flow is not a line Linde prints. It is stated here as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.",
"Cash outflows are carried with the sign the statements print, so capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases, dividends paid and debt repayments are negative numbers.",
"The 10-Q presents its cash flow statement for the six months only, so no three-month cash flow figures are reported for either quarter. The six-month cash flows appear in the year-to-date blocks.",
"The trailing-twelve-month block is derived, not filed: fiscal 2025 plus the six months ended June 30, 2026 less the six months ended June 30, 2025. It is built from columns printed in the two filings above and Linde publishes no such column itself.",
"Segment figures use Linde's own segment measures. Segment sales are external sales only (intersegment sales from Engineering to the industrial gases segments were $2,702 million in 2025), and segment operating profit is defined by the company as operating profit excluding purchase accounting impacts of the Linde AG merger, cost reduction and other charges, and items not indicative of ongoing business trends. Total segment operating profit is therefore larger than consolidated operating profit - $10,137 million against $8,923 million in fiscal 2025, a difference of $1,214 million that is the $941 million of Linde AG purchase accounting impacts plus $273 million of cost reduction program and other charges.",
"No gross profit line is shown. Linde presents cost of sales exclusive of depreciation and amortization, so a gross profit subtotal would not be comparable to one struck after depreciation, and the company does not report one.",
"Linde plc is incorporated in Ireland but reports in US dollars, so no currency conversion was applied. The company has no stock splits on record for the periods shown, and its ordinary shares are listed directly rather than as depositary receipts, so no per-share adjustment was made."
],
"uncertainties": [
"Trailing-twelve-month earnings per share is derived rather than reported. It is trailing-twelve-month net income divided by a weighted average share count built the same way (fiscal 2025 plus the first half of 2026 less the first half of 2025), giving $15.65 diluted. Adding the four published quarterly per-share amounts instead gives about $15.50; the gap is the effect of a falling share count on a weighted average and neither figure is one Linde publishes.",
"No cash flow figures are given for the three months ended June 30, 2026 or June 30, 2025. The 10-Q reports cash flows for the six-month period only and the first-quarter figures needed to difference them out are not on the face of either filing used here.",
"No balance sheet is reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 or for fiscal 2023, because neither filing prints one for those dates.",
"Cost reduction program and other charges is recorded as zero for the second quarters of 2026 and 2025 because the 10-Q prints a dash in both of those columns; the charge in the first half of 2025 ($55 million) fell in the first quarter."

"summary": "Linde plc reported $9.29 billion in sales for Q2 FY2026, the quarter ended June 30, 2026, up 9.3% from a year earlier, with net income of $1.93 billion and diluted earnings per share of $4.15. Growth was broad rather than price-driven, coming from higher volumes in electronics and manufacturing, higher pricing, favorable currency translation and acquisitions, with sales higher in all four of the industrial gas company's reportable segments. Operating profit of $2.55 billion was up 8.5%, a little slower than sales, while per-share earnings rose faster than net income because share repurchases left fewer shares outstanding.",
