Capital Deployment
Our strong balance sheet provides us with significant flexibility and capacity to deploy capital. Our capital deployment priorities have not changed: make investments to fund organic growth, drive a point or more per year of growth from strategic acquisitions, and return excess cash to shareowners through dividends and share repurchases.

Framework for Continued Superior Financial Returns
Our longer-term framework for financial performance starts with organic sales growth, which drives earnings conversion (incremental margins). Free cash flow conversion of 100% or more and a strong balance sheet provide significant capacity for strategic capital deployment, including acquisitions and share repurchases. As a result, we expect EPS growth to outpace revenue growth and ROIC to remain over 20%.
