Our mission is to transform lives through innovative medical solutions that improve the health of patients around the world. As a medical technology leader for nearly 40 years, we advance science for life by providing a broad range of high performance solutions to address unmet patient needs and reduce the cost of healthcare. When used in this report, the terms "we," "us," "our" and "the Company" mean Boston Scientific Corporation and its divisions and subsidiaries. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our history began in the late 1960s when our co-founder, John Abele, acquired an equity interest in Medi-tech, Inc., a research and development company focused on developing alternatives to surgery. In 1969, Medi-tech introduced a family of steerable catheters used in some of the world's first less-invasive procedures. In 1979, John Abele joined with Pete Nicholas to form Boston Scientific Corporation, which indirectly acquired Medi-tech. This acquisition began a period of active and focused new product development, innovation, market development and organizational growth. Since then, we have advanced the practice of less-invasive medicine by helping physicians and other medical professionals diagnose and treat a wide range of diseases and medical conditions and improve patients&#8217; quality of life by providing alternatives to surgery and other medical procedures that are typically traumatic to the body. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our net sales have increased substantially since our formation. Our growth has been fueled in part by strategic acquisitions designed to improve our ability to take advantage of growth opportunities in the medical device industry and to build depth of portfolio within our core businesses. These strategic acquisitions have helped us to add promising new technologies to our pipeline and to offer one of the broadest product portfolios in the world for use in less-invasive procedures in our core areas of Medical Surgical (MedSurg), Rhythm and Neuro, and Cardiovascular. We believe that the depth and breadth of our product portfolio has also enabled us to compete more effectively in the current healthcare environment that seeks to improve outcomes and lower costs. Our strategy of category leadership also enables us to compete in a changing healthcare landscape and position our products with providers and payers, while also expanding internationally and managing the complexities of the global healthcare market. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Business Strategy</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We operate pursuant to five strategic imperatives: Strengthen Category Leadership, Expand into High Growth Adjacencies, Drive Global Expansion, Fund the Journey to Fuel Growth and Develop Key Capabilities. We believe that our execution of these strategic imperatives will drive innovation, accelerate profitable revenue growth and increase stockholder value while strengthening our leadership position in the medical device industry. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We expect to continue to invest in our core franchises and pursue opportunities to diversify and further expand our presence in strategic growth adjacencies and new global markets. Our approach to innovation combines internally-developed products and technologies with those we may obtain externally through strategic acquisitions, alliances and other investments. Our research and development efforts are focused largely on the development of next-generation and novel technology offerings across multiple programs and all divisions. In the past several years, we have completed numerous acquisitions in support of our growth strategy, both strengthening our core franchises and expanding into high growth adjacent markets.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our Enterprise Risk Management program analyzes the key risks inherent to achieving our strategic and organizational imperatives.

We also have a network of distributors and dealers who offer our products in certain countries and markets. We expect to continue to leverage our infrastructure in markets where commercially appropriate and use third party distributors in those markets where it is not economical or strategic to establish or maintain a direct presence. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">No single institution accounted for more than ten percent of our net sales in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> or </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">; however, large group purchasing organizations, hospital networks and other buying groups have become increasingly important to our business and represent a substantial portion of our net sales. We have a dedicated corporate accounts organization in the U.S. and Europe focused principally on selling to major buying groups and integrated healthcare networks. We consistently strive to understand and exceed the expectations of our customers. Each of our businesses maintains dedicated sales forces and marketing teams focused on physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of different medical conditions, as well as on key hospital service line administrators. We believe that this dual focus on disease state management and hospital administrators enables us to develop highly knowledgeable and dedicated sales representatives and to foster collaborative relationships with both physicians and key service line administrators. We believe that our strong working relationships with physicians, service line administrators and others in the medical industry enable us to gain a detailed understanding of new therapeutic and diagnostic alternatives and to respond quickly to our customers' changing needs. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">International Operations</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">International net sales accounted for </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">42 percent</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of our net sales in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">44 percent</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of our net sales in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">43 percent</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of our net sales in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Maintaining and expanding our international presence is an important component of our long-term growth strategy. Through our international presence, we seek to increase net sales and market share, leverage our relationships with leading physicians and their clinical research programs, accelerate the time to bring new products to market and gain access to worldwide technological developments that we can implement across our product lines. In addition, we continue to invest in infrastructure in emerging markets to strengthen our sales and service capabilities and maximize our opportunities in these countries.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, we had 9 principal international manufacturing facilities, in addition to our U.S. facilities, including three in Ireland, two in Costa Rica, one in Brazil, one in Malaysia, one in Puerto Rico and one in Switzerland.

We strive to improve the efficiency of our sourcing operations and to leverage the technical expertise of the broader market by partnering with strategic suppliers. In doing so, we seek to focus our internal resources on the development and commercial launch of new products and the enhancement of existing products. We continue to implement new systems designed to provide improved quality, reliability, service, greater efficiency and lower supply chain costs. We also drive continuous improvement in product quality through process controls and validations, supplier and distribution controls and then necessary training and tools for our operations team. In addition, we remain focused on examining our operations and general business activities to enhance our operational effectiveness by identifying cost-improvement opportunities. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We remain committed to maintaining appropriate investments in supply chain resiliency on an ongoing basis. Our products are designed and manufactured in technology centers around the world, either by us or third parties. We consistently monitor our inventory levels, manufacturing and distribution capabilities and maintain recovery plans to address potential disruptions that we may encounter. Supply chain resiliency also includes sterilization, which is performed and optimized through a combination of internal and third party locations and may also be subject to potential interruptions. Many components used in the manufacturing of our products are readily fabricated from commonly available raw materials or off-the-shelf items available from multiple supply sources; however, certain items are custom made to meet our specifications. We believe that in most cases, redundant capacity exists at our suppliers and that alternative sources of supply are available or could be developed within a reasonable period of time. We also have an ongoing program to identify single-source components and to develop alternative back-up supplies, and we regularly readdress the adequacy and abilities of our suppliers and sterilizers to meet our needs.</span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 10</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Quality Assurance</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are committed to providing high quality products to our customers. Our quality system starts with the initial product specification and continues through the design of the product, component specification process and the manufacturing, sale and servicing of the product. Our quality system is intended to build in quality and process control and to utilize continuous improvement concepts throughout the product life. These systems are designed to enable us to satisfy various international quality system regulations, including those of the FDA with respect to products sold in the U.S. All of our medical device manufacturing facilities and distribution centers are certified under the ISO 13485 quality system standard, established by the International Standards Organization (ISO) for medical devices, which includes requirements for an implemented quality system that applies to component quality, supplier control, product design and manufacturing operations. This certification can be obtained only after a complete audit of a company&#8217;s quality system by an independent outside auditor. Maintenance of the certification requires that these facilities undergo periodic re-examination.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Environmental Regulation and Management</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are subject to various environmental laws, directives and regulations both in the U.S. and abroad. Our operations involve the use of substances regulated under environmental laws, primarily in manufacturing and sterilization processes. We believe that strong performance across relevant environmental, health and safety metrics enhances our competitive strength while benefiting our patients, customers, stockholders and employees. We are focused on continuous improvement in these areas by reducing pollution, depletion of natural resources and our overall environmental footprint. Specifically, we are working to optimize energy and resource usage, ultimately reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste. We are listed on the FTSE4Good Corporate Social Responsibility Index, managed by the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange, which measures the performance of companies that meet globally recognized standards of corporate responsibility. This listing recognizes our dedication to those standards and it places us in a select group of companies with a demonstrated commitment to responsible business practices and sound environmental policies. We also recognize the need to minimize the impact of the manufacturing of our products on the environment and have committed to carbon neutrality in our manufacturing and key distribution sites by 2030. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We have obtained ISO 14001:2015 certifications at our major manufacturing plants and Tier 1 distribution centers around the world, as well as our Corporate headquarters in Marlborough, Massachusetts.

In certain countries, we face competition from domestic medical device companies that may benefit from their status as local suppliers. We also face competition from non-medical device companies, which may offer alternative therapies for disease states that could also be treated using our products, or from companies offering technologies that could augment or replace procedures using our products. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We believe that our products and solutions compete primarily on their ability to deliver both clinical and economic outcomes for our customers by enabling physicians to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures safely and effectively often in a less-invasive manner. We also compete on ease of use, comparative effectiveness, reliability and physician familiarity. In the current environment of managed care, with economically-motivated buyers, consolidation among healthcare providers, increasing prevalence and importance of regional and national tenders, increased competition and declining reimbursement rates, we have been increasingly required to compete on the basis of price, value, reliability and efficiency. We believe the current global economic conditions and healthcare reform measures could continue to put additional competitive pressure on us, including on our average selling prices, overall procedure rates and addressable market sizes.

These agencies require manufacturers of medical devices to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, marketing and distribution. Medical devices are also generally subject to varying levels of regulatory control based on risk level of the device. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In the U.S., authorization to distribute a new device can generally be met in one of three ways. The first process requires that a premarket notification (510(k)) be made to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is as safe and effective as, or substantially equivalent to, a legally marketed device (the &#8220;predicate&#8221; device). Applicants must submit performance data to establish substantial equivalence. In some instances, data from human clinical trials must also be submitted in support of a 510(k) premarket notification. If so, these data must be collected in a manner that conforms to the applicable Investigational Device Exemption (IDE)&#160;regulations. The FDA must issue a decision finding substantial equivalence before commercial distribution can occur. Changes to cleared devices that could not significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device can generally be made without additional 510(k) premarket notifications; otherwise, a new 510(k) is required.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The second process requires the submission of a premarket approval (PMA) application to the FDA to demonstrate that the device is safe and effective for its intended use. This approval process applies to most Class&#160;III devices and generally requires clinical data to support the safety and effectiveness of the device, obtained in adherence with IDE requirements. The FDA will approve the PMA application if it finds that there is a reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective for its intended purpose and that the proposed manufacturing is in compliance with the Quality System Regulation (QSR). For novel technologies, the FDA will generally seek input from an advisory panel of medical experts and seek their views on the safety, effectiveness and benefit-risk of the device. The PMA process is generally more detailed, lengthier and more expensive than the 510(k) process.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The third process requires that an application for a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE)&#160;be made to the FDA for the use of a Humanitarian Use Device (HUD). A HUD is intended to benefit patients by treating or diagnosing a disease or condition that affects, or is manifested in, not more than 8,000 individuals in the U.S. per year. The application submitted to the FDA for an HDE is similar in both form and content to a PMA application, but is exempt from the effectiveness requirements of a PMA. The HUD provision of the regulation provides an incentive for the development of devices for use in the treatment or diagnosis of diseases affecting smaller patient populations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In the European Union (EU), we will be required to comply with the new Medical Device Regulation (MDR or EU MDR) effective May 2020 which will supersede the current Medical Device Directives. Medical devices which have a valid CE Certificate to the current Directives (issued before May 2020) can continue to be sold until May 2024 or until the CE Certificate expires, whichever comes first, providing there are no significant changes to the design or intended use. The MDR was published in May 2017 with a 3-year transition period. The CE Mark required to sell medical devices in the EU is affixed following conformity assessment and either approval from the appointed independent Notified Body or through self-certification by the manufacturer. The selected pathway to CE marking is based on product risk classification. CE Marking indicates conformity to the applicable Essential Requirements of the relevant Medical Devices Directive and in the future to the General Safety and Performance Requirements for the new MDR. The MDR will change multiple aspects of the existing regulatory framework for CE marking, such as increased clinical evidence requirements and other new requirements, including Unique Device Identification (UDI) as well as many other post-market obligations. MDR also significantly modifies and increases the compliance requirements for the industry and will require significant investment over the next few years to implement. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are also required to comply with the regulations of every other country where we commercialize products before we can launch or maintain new products on the market, such as the requirements that we obtain approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW), the Japanese Pharmaceutical &amp; Medical Device Agency (PMDA)&#160;and the China Food and Drug Administration (NMPA). Many countries that previously did not have medical device regulations, or had minimal regulations, are now introducing them. For example, India is in the process of expanding its current regulations to include all medical device categories while many countries in the Middle East and Southeast Asia are introducing new regulations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 12</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The FDA and other worldwide regulatory agencies and competent authorities actively monitor compliance to local laws and regulations through review and inspection of design and manufacturing practices, record-keeping, reporting of adverse events, labeling and promotional practices. The FDA can ban certain medical devices, detain or seize adulterated or misbranded medical devices, order repair, replacement or refund of these devices and require notification of health professionals and others with regard to medical devices that present unreasonable risks of substantial harm to the public health. The FDA may also enjoin and restrain a company for certain violations of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the Safe Medical Devices Act pertaining to medical devices or initiate action for criminal prosecution of such violations. Regulatory agencies and authorities in the countries where we do business can halt production in or distribution within their respective country or otherwise take action in accordance with local laws and regulations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">International sales of medical devices manufactured in the U.S. that are not approved by the FDA for use in the U.S., or that are banned or deviate from lawful performance standards, are subject to FDA export requirements. Additionally, exported devices are subject to the regulatory requirements of each country to which the device is exported. Some countries do not have medical device regulations, but in most foreign countries, medical devices are regulated. Frequently, regulatory approval may first be obtained in a foreign country prior to application in the U.S. due to differing regulatory requirements; however, other countries, such as China, for example, require approval in the country of origin first. Most countries outside of the U.S. require that product approvals be recertified on a regular basis, generally every five years. The recertification process requires that we evaluate any device changes and any new regulations or standards relevant to the device and, where needed, conduct appropriate testing to document continued compliance. Where recertification applications are required, they must be approved in order to continue selling our products in those countries.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Government Affairs</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We maintain a global Government Affairs presence, headquartered in Washington, D.C., to actively monitor and advocate on myriad legislation and policies impacting us, both on a domestic and an international front. The Government Affairs office works closely with members of Congress and committee staff, the White House and Administration offices, state Governors, legislatures and regulatory agencies, embassies and global governments on issues affecting our business. Our proactive approach and depth of political and policy expertise are aimed at having our positions heard by federal, state and global decision-makers to improve patient care and to advance our business objectives by educating policymakers on our positions, key priorities and the value of our technologies. The Government Affairs office manages our political action committee and works closely with trade groups on issues affecting our industry and healthcare in general. The Government Affairs office also advocates for public policy that benefits our employees, and the patients we serve and supports the communities in which we live. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Healthcare Policies and Reimbursement</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Political, economic and regulatory influences around the world continue to subject the healthcare industry to potential fundamental changes that could substantially affect our results of operations. Government and private sector initiatives related to limiting the growth of healthcare costs (including price regulation), coverage and payment policies, comparative effectiveness reviews of therapies, technology assessments and healthcare delivery structure reforms, are continuing in many countries where we do business. We believe that these changes are causing the marketplace to put increased emphasis on the delivery of treatments that can reduce costs, improve efficiencies and/or increase patient access. Although we believe our less-invasive products and technologies generate favorable clinical outcomes, value and cost efficiency, the resources necessary to demonstrate value to our customers, patients, payers and other stakeholders are significant and new therapies now take longer periods of time to gain widespread adoption.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The impact to our business of the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's (ACA) provisions related to coverage expansion, payment reforms and delivery system has been immaterial. The ACA and Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act were enacted into law in the U.S. in 2010. The legislation imposed on medical device manufacturers a 2.3&#160;percent excise tax on U.S. sales of Class&#160;I, II and III medical devices beginning in January 2013. In December 2015, the Promise for Antibiotics and Therapeutics for Health Act, or PATH Act, was passed, which included legislation which temporarily suspended the 2.3 percent excise tax until December 31, 2017. In January 2018, another temporary two-year suspension of the 2.3 percent excise tax was passed, extending the suspension to December 31, 2019. On December 20, 2019, the President signed the 2020 spending bill, which included a provision to permanently repeal the excise tax.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The U.S. Federal government, as part of the ACA, and certain state governments have enacted laws aimed at increasing transparency, or "sunshine," in relationships between medical device, biologics and pharmaceutical companies and healthcare professionals (HCPs). As a result, we are required by law to report many types of payments and transfers of value provided to HCPs. Certain foreign jurisdictions have similar laws or are currently acting to implement similar laws. Failure to comply with sunshine laws and/or implement and adhere to adequate policies and practices to address changes to legal and regulatory requirements could </span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 13</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">have a negative impact on our results of operations. Additional legislation at the state and federal levels may result in further changes to these laws.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As noted below, we expect certain trends to continue placing pressure on pricing and utilization in the U.S. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts (TCJA), enacted December 22, 2017 in the U.S., changed the tax treatment of healthcare expenses and repealed the &#8220;individual mandate&#8221; to purchase private insurance. These tax law changes have resulted in changes to insurance coverage and financing of insurance coverage in individual markets. Additional legislation may result in changes to government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. In addition, the current U.S. Administration has enacted a number of administrative policy changes that will likely result in additional changes to insurance coverage, financing of insurance coverage and benefits offered through private insurance in both the employer-sponsored and individual markets. These changes and other similar changes being considered are likely to lead to an increase in the number of people without insurance. Other individual coverage policies will be less generous than those required under the ACA. The impact of these changes on coverage levels and patient cost-sharing could affect utilization of non-urgent, non-acute services in which our devices are used.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We expect that pricing of medical devices will remain under pressure as alternative payment reform, such as prospective payment systems for hospital care, preferential site of service payments, value-based purchasing and accountable care organizations (ACOs), continue to take shape globally. We also expect marketplace changes to place pressure on medical device pricing globally as hospitals consolidate and large group purchasing organizations, hospital networks and other groups continue to seek to aggregate purchasing power. Similarly, governments are increasing the use of tenders, placing pressure on medical device pricing. Some governments also seek to limit the growth of healthcare costs through price regulation. Implementation of cost containment initiatives and healthcare reforms in significant markets such as the U.S., Japan and Europe and other markets may limit the price of, or the level at which reimbursement is provided for, our products, which in turn may influence a hospital&#8217;s or physician's selection of products used to treat patients. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our products are purchased principally by hospitals, physicians and other healthcare providers around the world that typically bill various third-party payers, including government programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S.) and private insurance payers, for the services provided to their patients. Third-party payers and governments may approve or deny coverage for certain technologies and associated procedures based on independently determined assessment criteria. Coverage decisions by payers for these technologies and associated procedures are based on a wide range of methodologies that may reflect the assessed resource costs, clinical outcomes and economic value of the technologies and associated procedures.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Proprietary Rights and Patent Litigation</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secrets and other forms of intellectual property to protect our proprietary rights. We generally file patent applications in the U.S. and foreign countries where patent protection for our technology is appropriate and available. As of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, we held more than 21,000 patents and had approximately 6,000 patent applications pending worldwide that cover various aspects of our technology. In addition, we hold exclusive and non-exclusive licenses to a variety of third-party technologies covered by patents and patent applications. In the aggregate, these intellectual property assets and licenses are of material importance to our business; however, we believe that no single patent, technology, trademark, intellectual property asset or license is material in relation to our business as a whole.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We rely on non-disclosure and non-competition agreements with employees, consultants and other parties to protect, in part, trade secrets and other proprietary technology. There has been substantial litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights in the medical device industry, particularly in the areas in which we compete. We continue to defend ourselves against claims and legal actions alleging infringement of the patent rights of others. Additionally, we may find it necessary to initiate litigation to enforce our patent rights, to protect our trade secrets or know-how and to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. Accordingly, we may seek to settle some or all of our pending litigation, particularly to manage risk over time. Settlement may include cross licensing of the patents that are the subject of the litigation as well as our other intellectual property and may involve monetary payments to or from third parties. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We maintain insurance policies providing limited coverage against securities claims. We are substantially self-insured with respect to product liability claims and fully self-insured with respect to intellectual property infringement claims. The absence of significant third-party insurance coverage increases our potential exposure to unanticipated claims or adverse decisions.

Of these employees, we employed approximately 19,000 outside the U.S., approximately 9,000 of whom are in the manufacturing operations function.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Community Outreach</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are united by a goal to make a difference in the lives of the over 30 million patients we serve annually. We seek to give our time and resources to make positive impacts upon those communities where we live, work, and serve. Guided by our core values, we seek to improve access to healthcare, to invest in educational programming for students with limited means and access to opportunities, and to support and embrace the spirit of volunteerism within our global workforce, while adhering to strong ethical standards. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In some parts of the world, access to health information, screening, care and services can be limited. Our collaborations with non-profit community organizations raise awareness of chronic disease and decrease these health disparities by improving health outcomes for underserved populations. We accomplish this through our focus on 3 P&#8217;s - Prevent, Provide and Prepare. We work to prevent chronic disease through education and awareness, provide access to healthcare through increasing the quantity and quality of healthcare workers and screenings, and preparing and empowering children at high risk of chronic disease to successfully navigate their health journey. Each year, our employees play a role in how we reach our health goals by participating in health awareness campaigns like Wear Red Day for heart health, No Shave November for men&#8217;s health, and in walks and runs for various health causes. For the last three years, Boston Scientific partnered with Project HOPE, a global health and humanitarian relief organization, to fund the United Dialogue and Action Against Non-Communicable Disorders (UDAAN) program to help reduce premature mortality in India. The program focuses on improving the health practices related to chronic disease treatment and care. Through the program, a chronic disease tool kit was developed to improve healthcare worker efficiencies and is now being scaled to other Health and Wellness centers in the area.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are also passionate about inspiring young learners to see themselves in a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) role in the future. Our employees work with underrepresented K-12 students around the world and share their passion for STEM by providing interactive product demos, development programs, and hands-on activities for young learners in their communities. A key effort of our STEM volunteers is to create resources that empower other employees to get involved. While each regional team focuses on what is needed most by students in their local communities, they also work together to share best practices that ensure we reach our overall goals. Resources like presentations, STEM kits, interactive displays, and an online activity database have been created to increase global collaboration and overall impact. In 2019, our employee volunteers participated in more than 160 STEM events and school programs. Through this outreach, we are helping to develop the diverse future talent that will enable Boston Scientific to create innovative health solutions for generations to come. Beyond the classroom, we empower our employees to participate in and influence the way we care for people in their local communities. We are proud of these efforts and the collective impact we have on advancing possibilities across the globe. In 2019 our employees volunteered more than 41,000 hours to make a positive impact at more than 600 global community events in 38 countries. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We also support the U.S. communities where we have significant business presences through the Boston Scientific Foundation. The mission of the foundation is simple: to help expand access to quality healthcare and educational opportunities for underserved populations. The Boston Scientific Foundation awarded approximately $1 million dollars in scholarships to children of employees and grant awards across the U.S. in 2019. The process involved more than 70 employee volunteers who evaluated proposals for the Boston Scientific Foundation Board review and approval, upon which the Boston Scientific Foundation was able to help fuel grassroots innovative solutions to improve access to quality healthcare and create new opportunities for students to learn and achieve.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Seasonality</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our net sales are influenced by many factors, including product launches, acquisitions, regulatory and reimbursement approvals, patient, physician and employee holiday schedules and other macro-economic conditions.

RISK FACTORS </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report and the exhibits hereto, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business. Our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. This section contains forward-looking statements. You should refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements set forth at the end of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Item 1. Business</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of this Annual Report. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Business and Operational Risks</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We face intense competition and may not be able to keep pace with the rapid technological changes in the medical devices industry, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The medical device markets in which we participate are highly competitive. We encounter significant competition across our product lines and in each market in which our products are sold from various medical device companies. Some of our competitors may have greater financial and marketing resources than we do, including as a result of consolidation among companies in our industry. Our primary competitors include </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Abbott Laboratories and Medtronic plc,</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, as well as a wide range of medical device companies that sell a single or limited number of competitive products or which participate in only a specific market segment or set of segments. We also face competition from non-medical device companies, including pharmaceutical companies, which may offer alternative therapies for disease states also amenable to treatment using our products. New direct or indirect competitors may emerge in the future, potentially including companies introducing new sales or distribution models to our industry or leveraging robotic, navigation, and/or other automation technologies into markets in which we compete.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, the medical device markets in which we participate are characterized by extensive research and development and rapid technological change. Developments by other companies of products and/or services, processes or technologies may make our products or proposed products obsolete or less competitive and may negatively impact our net sales. It is necessary for us to devote continued efforts and financial resources to the development or acquisition of scientifically advanced technologies and products. In addition, we will need to apply our technologies cost-effectively across product lines and markets, obtain patent and other protection for our technologies and products, obtain required regulatory and reimbursement approvals and successfully manufacture and market our products consistent with our quality standards. If we fail to develop or acquire new products or enhance existing products, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, a delay in the timing of the launch of next-generation products and the overall performance of, and continued physician confidence in, those products may result in declines in our market share and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We may experience declines in market size, average selling prices for our products, medical procedure volumes and our share of the markets in which we compete, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We continue to experience pressures across many of our businesses due to competitive activity, increased market power of our customers as the healthcare industry consolidates, economic pressures experienced by our customers, public perception of our products, and the impact of managed care organizations and other third-party payers. These and other factors may adversely impact market sizes, as well as our share of the markets in which we compete, the average selling prices for our products or medical procedure volumes. There can be no assurance that the size of the markets in which we compete will increase above existing levels, that we will be able to regain or gain market share or compete effectively on the basis of price or that the number of procedures in which our products are used will increase above existing levels. Decreases in market sizes or our market share and declines in average selling prices or procedural volumes could materially adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Continued consolidation in the healthcare industry or additional governmental controls exerted over pricing in key markets could lead to increased demands for price concessions or limit or eliminate our ability to sell to certain of our significant market segments, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Numerous initiatives and reforms by legislators, regulators and third-party payers to curb the rising cost of healthcare have catalyzed a consolidation of aggregate purchasing power within the markets in which we sell our products. Additionally, a growing number of countries have instituted or are contemplating introducing regional or national tender processes driven primarily by price. In some cases, such processes may favor local companies to multinational companies like Boston Scientific. As the healthcare industry consolidates, competition to provide products and services is expected to continue to intensify, resulting in pricing pressures, decreased average selling prices and the exclusion of certain suppliers from important market segments. We expect that market demand, government regulation, third-party coverage and reimbursement policies, government contracting requirements and </span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 20</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">societal pressures will continue to change the worldwide healthcare industry, resulting in further business consolidations and alliances among our customers, which may increase competition, exert further downward pressure on the prices of our products and services and may adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Healthcare cost containment pressures, government payment and delivery system reforms, changes in private payer policies, and marketplace consolidations could decrease the demand for our products, the prices which customers are willing to pay for those products and/or the number of procedures performed using our devices, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our products are purchased principally by hospitals, physicians and other healthcare providers around the world that typically bill various third-party payers, including government programs, authorities or agencies (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid in the U.S.) and private health plans, for the healthcare services provided to their patients. Governments and payers may also institute changes in healthcare delivery systems that may reduce funding for services or encourage greater scrutiny of healthcare costs. The ability of customers to obtain appropriate reimbursement for their products and services from private and governmental third-party payers is critical to the success of medical technology companies because it affects which products customers purchase and the prices they are willing to pay. Reimbursement and funding vary by country and can significantly impact the acceptance of new products and technologies and the use of established products and technologies. Even if we develop a promising new product, we may find limited demand for the product unless reimbursement approval is obtained from private and governmental third-party payers. Further legislative or administrative reforms to the reimbursement systems in the U.S., Japan, or other countries in a manner that significantly reduces reimbursement for procedures using our medical devices or denies coverage for those procedures, including price regulation, site of service requirements, competitive bidding and tendering, coverage and payment policies, comparative effectiveness of therapies, heightened clinical data requirements, technology assessments and managed-care arrangements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We are subject to a number of market, business, financial, legal and regulatory risks and uncertainties with respect to our international operations that could have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"> </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">International net sales accounted for </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">42 percent</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of our global net sales in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. An important part of our strategy is to continue pursuing growth opportunities in net sales and market share outside of the U.S. by expanding global presence, including in Emerging Markets. Our international operations are subject to a number of market, business and financial risks and uncertainties, including those related to our use of channel partners, geopolitical and economic instability, foreign currency exchange and interest rate fluctuations, competitive product offerings, local changes in healthcare financing and payment systems and healthcare delivery systems, local product preferences and requirements, including preferences for local manufacturers, workforce instability, weaker intellectual property protection in certain countries than exists in the U.S. and longer accounts receivable cycles. Such risks and uncertainties may adversely impact our ability to implement our growth strategy in these markets and, as a result, our sales growth, market share and operating profits from our international operations may be adversely affected. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our international operations are subject to established and developing legal and regulatory requirements for medical devices in each country in which our products are marketed and sold. Most foreign countries have medical device regulations. Further, most countries outside of the U.S. require product approvals be renewed or recertified on a regular basis in order to continue to be marketed and sold there. In addition, several countries that previously did not have regulatory requirements for medical devices have established such requirements in recent years and other countries have expanded, or plan to expand, existing regulations, including requiring local clinical data in addition to global clinical data. These factors have caused or may cause us to experience more uncertainty, risk, expense and delay in commercializing products in certain foreign jurisdictions, which could affect our ability to obtain approvals for our products in those jurisdictions and adversely impact our net sales, market share and operating profits from our international operations. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Further, international markets are affected by economic pressure to contain healthcare costs, which can lead to more rigorous evidence requirements and lower reimbursement rates for either our products directly or procedures in which our products are used. Governments and payers may also institute changes in healthcare delivery systems that may reduce funding for services or encourage greater scrutiny of healthcare costs. In addition, certain international markets may also be affected by foreign government efforts to reference reimbursement rates in other countries. All of these types of changes may ultimately reduce selling prices of our products and/or reduce the number of procedures in which our products are used, which may adversely impact our net sales, market share and operating profits from our international operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, our international operations are subject to other established and developing U.S. and foreign legal and regulatory requirements, including FCPA and/or similar laws in other countries and U.S. and foreign import and export controls and licensing requirements, trade protection and embargo measures and customs laws. Global businesses, including those in the medical device industry, are facing increasing scrutiny of, and heightened enforcement efforts with respect to, their international operations. Any </span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 21</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">alleged or actual failure to comply with legal and regulatory requirements may subject us to government scrutiny, civil and/or criminal proceedings, sanctions and other liabilities, which may have a material adverse effect on our international operations, financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In a referendum on June 23, 2016, voters approved the exit of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU). Following a formal notification by the UK to the EU that it intends to leave the EU, and after several extensions to the deadline for doing so agreed between the UK and the EU, the UK legally withdrew from the EU on January 31, 2020. Pursuant to the withdrawal agreement entered into on January 24, 2020, the UK will maintain access to the single EU market and to the global trade deals negotiated by the EU on behalf of its members and remain subject to EU for a transition period ending on December 31, 2020. Exit of the UK from the EU will have numerous consequences in all areas of our business, including, economic, regulatory and operational, and the actual impact is very difficult to assess at this time. Changes in industry regulations could have an effect on existing CE certificates being renewed and new certificates being issued which would impact the ability to trade; however, it is impossible to assess the full impact at this stage.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">At this stage, the materiality to us of Brexit remains unknown and unquantifiable. However, we have implemented a Brexit Response Team and have put in place mitigation procedures to reduce any significant operational risks that have been identified to date.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Any significant changes in the political and economic, financial, competitive, legal and regulatory or reimbursement conditions where we conduct, or plan to expand, our international operations may have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">If we are unable to manage our debt levels, maintain investment grade credit ratings at the three ratings agencies, or experience a disruption in our cash flows it could have an adverse effect on our cost of borrowing, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As part of our strategy to maximize stockholder value, we use financial leverage to manage our cost of capital. Our outstanding debt balance was </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$10.008 billion</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$7.056 billion</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Although we currently have investment grade ratings at Moody's Investor Service, Standard &amp; Poor's Rating Service and Fitch Ratings, our inability to maintain investment grade credit ratings could increase our cost of borrowing funds in the future and reduce our access to liquidity. Delays in our product development and new product launches could result in disruption in our cash flow or our ability to continue to effectively manage our debt levels could have an adverse effect on our cost of borrowing, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, our credit and security facilities contain covenants that require us to maintain specified financial ratios and place other limits on our business. If we are unable to satisfy these covenants, we may be required to obtain waivers from our lenders and no assurance can be made that our lenders would grant such waivers on favorable terms or at all and we could be required to repay any borrowings on demand. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We may record future intangible asset impairment charges related to one or more of our global reporting units, which could materially adversely impact our results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We test our goodwill balances during the second quarter of each year for impairment, or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and, in evaluating the potential for impairment of goodwill, we make assumptions regarding estimated revenue projections, growth rates, cash flows and discount rates. In the second quarter of 2019, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test for all of our reporting units existing at the time. In conjunction with our annual test, the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and none of our reporting units were at risk of impairment. Refer to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">contained in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Item 7.

Relatively small declines in the future performance and cash flows of a reporting unit or asset group, changes in our reporting units or in the structure of our business as a result of future reorganizations, acquisitions or divestitures of assets or businesses, or small changes in other key assumptions, may result in the recognition of significant asset impairment charges, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Failure to integrate acquired businesses into our operations successfully could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As part of our strategy to realign our business portfolio, we have completed multiple acquisitions over the past three years and may pursue additional acquisitions in the future.

These efforts result in additional expenses and involve significant management time. Some of the factors that could affect the success of our acquisitions include, among others, the effectiveness of our due diligence process, our ability to execute our business plan for the acquired companies, the strength of the acquired technology, results of clinical trials, regulatory approvals and reimbursement levels of the acquired products and related procedures, the continued performance of critical transition services, our ability to adequately fund acquired in-process research and development projects and retain key employees and our ability to achieve synergies with our acquired companies, such as increasing sales of our products, achieving cost savings and effectively combining technologies to develop new products. In addition, foreign acquisitions involve unique risks, including those related to integration of operations across different geographies, cultures and languages, currency risks and risks associated with the economic, political, legal and regulatory environment in specific countries. Our failure to manage successfully and coordinate the growth of the acquired companies could have an adverse impact on our business and our future growth. In addition, we cannot be certain that the businesses we acquire will become profitable or remain so, and if our acquisitions are not successful, we may record related asset impairment charges in the future or experience other negative consequences on our results.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We may not be successful in our strategy relating to future strategic acquisitions of, investments in, or alliances with, other companies and businesses, which have been a significant source of historical growth for us, and will be key to our diversification into new markets and technologies.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances are intended to further expand our ability to offer customers effective, high quality medical devices that satisfy their interventional needs.

As a result of these assessments, we have undertaken restructuring and optimization initiatives in order to enhance our growth potential and position us for long-term success. In November 2018, we announced a restructuring initiative (the 2019 Restructuring Plan) </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">intended to support our effort to improve operating performance and meet anticipated market demands by ensuring that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver sustainable value to patients and customers.</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Key activities under the 2019 Restructuring Plan include supply chain network optimization intended to maximize our global manufacturing and distribution network capacity and building functional capabilities that support business growth.</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">These activities were initiated in 2019, with the majority of activity expected to be complete by the end of 2021.</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> The 2019 Restructuring Plan is expected to result in total pre-tax charges of approximately </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$200 million</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$300 million</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and reduce gross annual pre-tax operating expenses by approximately $100 million to $150 million by the end of 2022 as program benefits are realized. We expect a substantial portion of the savings to be reinvested in strategic growth initiatives. These measures could yield unintended consequences, such as distraction of our management and employees, business disruption, inability to attract or retain key personnel and reduced employee productivity, which could negatively affect our business, sales, financial condition and results of operations.

These conditions may adversely affect our suppliers, leading them to experience financial difficulties or be unable to borrow money to fund their operations, which could cause disruptions in our ability to produce our products. Our customers may experience financial difficulties or be unable to borrow money to fund their operations, which may adversely impact their ability or decision to purchase our products, particularly capital equipment, or to pay for our products that they purchase on a timely basis, if at all. In addition, we have accounts receivable factoring programs in certain European and Asian countries. Continued deterioration of the global economy or increase in sovereign debt issues may impact our ability to transfer receivables to third parties in certain of those countries in the future. Third parties such as banks offering factoring programs in these countries are looking to reduce their exposure levels to government owned or supported debt. This could result in terminations of, or changes to the costs or credit limits of our existing factoring programs. Such terminations or changes could have a negative impact on our cash flow and days sales outstanding.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The strength and timing of economic recovery remains uncertain and there can be no assurance that there will not be further deterioration in the global economy. Accordingly, we cannot predict to what extent global economic conditions, including sovereign debt issues and increased focus on healthcare systems and costs in the U.S. and abroad, may continue to impact negatively our average selling prices, net sales and profit margins, procedural volumes and reimbursement rates from third party payers. In addition, conditions in the financial markets and other factors beyond our control may adversely affect our ability to borrow money in the credit markets, access the capital markets and to obtain financing for acquisitions or other general corporate and commercial purposes.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Our future growth is dependent upon the development of new products and enhancement of existing products, which requires significant research and development, clinical trials and regulatory approvals, all of which may be very expensive and time-consuming and may not result in commercially viable products.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In order to develop new products and enhance existing products, we focus our research and development programs largely on the development of next-generation and novel technology offerings across multiple programs and businesses. The development of new products and enhancement of existing products requires significant investment in research and development, clinical trials and regulatory approvals. The results of our product development efforts may be affected by a number of factors, including our ability to anticipate customer needs, innovate and develop new products, complete clinical trials, obtain regulatory approvals and reimbursement in the United States and abroad, manufacture products in a cost-effective manner, obtain appropriate intellectual property protection for our products and gain and maintain market approval of our products. There can be no assurance that any products now in development or that we may seek to develop in the future will achieve technological feasibility, obtain regulatory approval or gain market acceptance. If we are unable to develop and launch new products and enhanced products, our ability to maintain or expand our market position in the markets in which we participate may be materially adversely impacted. Further, we are continuing to investigate and have completed several acquisitions that involve opportunities to further expand our presence in and diversify into, priority growth areas by accessing new products and technologies. There can be no assurance that our investments will be successful or that we will be able to access new products and technologies on terms favorable to us, or that these products and technologies will achieve commercial feasibility, obtain regulatory approval or gain market acceptance. A delay in the development or approval of new products and technologies or our decision to reduce our investments may adversely impact the contribution of these technologies to our future growth.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Additionally, certain products or groups of products, in particular new products or enhancements of existing products, may have a disproportionate impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to meet growth projections, poor clinical outcomes, increasing regulatory requirements, launch delays and inability to effectively scale manufacturing and achieve targeted margins with respect to any of these products or groups of products in particular may materially adversely impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Natural disasters, public health crises, and other catastrophic events or other events outside of our control may affect sales of our products or disrupt our supply chain and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If any of our facilities, or the facilities of our suppliers or customers, is affected by natural disasters, public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, or other events outside of our control, our business and operating results could suffer.

In most cases, the manufacturing of any specific product is concentrated in one or a few locations. Factors such as a failure to follow specific internal protocols and procedures, equipment malfunction, environmental factors or damage to one or more of our facilities could adversely affect our ability to manufacture our products. In the event of an interruption in manufacturing, we may be unable to quickly move to alternate means of producing affected products or to meet customer demand. In the event of a significant interruption, for example, as a result of a failure to follow regulatory protocols and procedures, we may experience lengthy delays in resuming production of affected products due primarily to needs for regulatory approvals. As a result, we may experience loss of market share, which we may be unable to recapture and harm to our reputation, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Disruptions in the supply of the materials and components used in manufacturing our products or the sterilization of our products by third-party vendors could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We purchase the majority of the materials and components used in manufacturing our products from third-party vendors. Certain of these materials and components are purchased from single sources due to quality considerations, expertise, costs or constraints resulting from regulatory requirements. In certain cases, we may not be able to establish additional or replacement vendors for such materials or components in a timely or cost effective manner, largely as a result of FDA regulations that require validation of materials and components prior to their use in our products and the complex nature of our and many of our vendors' manufacturing processes. A reduction or interruption in the supply of materials and components used in manufacturing our products, an inability to timely develop and validate alternative sources if required or a significant increase in the price of such materials or components could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, many of our products require sterilization prior to sale and we utilize a mix of internal resources and contract sterilizers to perform this service. To the extent we or our contract sterilizers are unable to sterilize our products, whether due to capacity, availability of materials for sterilization, regulatory or other constraints, including federal and state regulations on the use of ethylene oxide, we may be unable to transition to other internal resources, contract sterilizers, sterilizer locations or sterilization methods in a timely or cost effective manner or at all, which could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Our share price has been volatile and may fluctuate, and accordingly, the value of an investment in our common stock may also fluctuate.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Stock markets in general and our common stock in particular have experienced significant price and trading volume volatility over recent years.

Government and private sector initiatives limiting the growth of healthcare costs (including price regulation), coverage and payment policies, comparative effectiveness of therapies, technology assessments and healthcare delivery structure reforms, are continuing in many countries where we do business. We believe that these changes are causing the marketplace to put increased emphasis on the delivery of more treatments that can reduce costs, improve efficiencies and/or increase patient access. Although we believe our less-invasive products and technologies generate favorable clinical outcomes, value and cost efficiency, the resources necessary and evidence necessary to demonstrate value to our customers, patients, payers and other stakeholders may be significant and it may take a longer period of time to gain widespread adoption. Moreover, there can be no assurance that our strategies will succeed for every product.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010 were enacted into law in the U.S. in March 2010. As a U.S. headquartered company with significant domestic sales, the medical device tax included in this law has materially affected us. The law imposed on medical device manufacturers a 2.3 percent excise tax on U.S. sales of Class I, II and III medical devices beginning in January 2013. In December 2015, this law was temporarily suspended until December 2019, when the law was permanently repealed as part of the 2020 fiscal spending bill. Under the current administration, there may be a permanent repeal or an alteration of other elements of the ACA, but at this time it is not definite that a change will be enacted or what new healthcare provisions may be implemented. While the implementation of the medical device tax has been repealed, other provisions of this law, including comparative effectiveness research, pilot programs to evaluate alternative payment methodologies and other changes to the payment systems, have started changing the way healthcare is delivered, reimbursed and funded. While the extent to which it has affected our business is not clear, these changes, over the long-term, may adversely affect our business and results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We cannot predict the specific healthcare programs and regulations that will be ultimately implemented by regional and national governments globally.

Some countries do not have medical device regulations, but in most foreign countries, medical devices are regulated. Frequently, regulatory approval may first be obtained in a foreign country prior to application in the U.S. due to differing regulatory requirements; however, other countries, such as China for example, require approval in the country of origin or legal manufacturer first. Most countries outside of the U.S. require that product approvals be renewed or recertified on a regular basis, generally every </span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 26</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">four to five years. The renewal or recertification process requires that we evaluate any device changes and any new regulations or standards relevant to the device and conduct appropriate testing to document continued compliance. Where renewal or recertification applications are required, they may need to be renewed and/or approved in order to continue selling our products in those countries. There can be no assurance that we will receive the required approvals for new products or modifications to existing products on a timely basis or that any approval will not be subsequently withdrawn or conditioned upon extensive post-market study requirements.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our global regulatory environment is becoming increasingly stringent and unpredictable, which could increase the time, cost and complexity of obtaining regulatory approvals for our products, as well as the clinical and regulatory costs of supporting those approvals. Several countries that did not have regulatory requirements for medical devices have established such requirements in recent years and other countries have expanded on existing regulations. Certain regulators are exhibiting less flexibility and are requiring local preclinical and clinical data in addition to global data. While harmonization of global regulations has been pursued, requirements continue to differ significantly among countries. We expect this global regulatory environment will continue to evolve, which could impact our ability to obtain future approvals for our products or could increase the cost and time to obtain such approvals in the future. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The FDA and other worldwide regulatory agencies actively monitor compliance with local laws and regulations through review and inspection of design and manufacturing practices, recordkeeping, reporting of adverse events, labeling and promotional practices. The FDA can ban certain medical devices, detain or seize adulterated or misbranded medical devices, order repair, replacement or refund of these devices and require notification of health professionals and others with regard to medical devices that present unreasonable risks of substantial harm to the public health. The FDA can take action against a company that promotes "off-label" uses. The FDA may also enjoin and restrain a company for certain violations of the FDC Act and other amending Acts pertaining to medical devices, or initiate action for criminal prosecution of such violations. Any adverse regulatory action, depending on its magnitude, may restrict a company from effectively marketing and selling its products, may limit a company's ability to obtain future premarket clearances or approvals and could result in a substantial modification to our business practices and operations. International sales of medical devices manufactured in the U.S. that are not approved by the FDA for use in the U.S., or that are banned or deviate from lawful performance standards, are subject to FDA export requirements. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Regulations regarding the development, manufacture and sale of medical devices are evolving and subject to future change. We cannot predict what impact, if any, those changes might have on our business. Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product or manufacturer could result in fines, delays or suspensions of regulatory clearances or approvals, seizures or recalls of products, physician advisories or other field actions, operating restrictions and/or criminal prosecution. We may also initiate field actions as a result of a failure to strictly comply with our internal quality policies. The failure to receive product approval clearance on a timely basis, suspensions of regulatory clearances, seizures or recalls of products, physician advisories or other field actions, or the withdrawal of product approval by the FDA or by comparable agencies in foreign countries could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Our products are continually subject to clinical trials and other analyses conducted by us, our competitors or other third parties, the results of which may be unexpected, or perceived as unfavorable by the market, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As a part of the regulatory process of obtaining marketing clearance for new products and new indications for existing products, we conduct and participate in numerous clinical trials with a variety of study designs, patient populations and trial endpoints. Unexpected or inconsistent clinical data from existing or future clinical trials or other analyses conducted by us, by our competitors or by third parties, including acquired businesses prior to acquisition by us, or the FDA's or the market's perception of this clinical data, may adversely impact our ability to obtain product approvals, our position in, and share of, the markets in which we participate and our business, financial condition, results of operations or future prospects.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The medical device industry and its customers continue to face scrutiny and regulation by governmental authorities and are often the subject of numerous investigations, often involving marketing and other business practices or product quality issues including device recalls or advisories. These investigations could result in the commencement of civil and criminal proceedings; imposition of substantial fines, penalties and administrative remedies, including corporate integrity agreements, stipulated judgments or exclusion; diversion of our employees' and management's attention; imposition of administrative costs and have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity; and may lead to greater governmental regulation in the future.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The medical devices we design, develop, manufacture and market are subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA and numerous other federal, state and foreign governmental authorities. These authorities continue to closely scrutinize our industry. We have received and in the future may receive, subpoenas and other requests for information from Congress and state and federal </span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 27</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">governmental agencies, including, among others, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Defense, as well as from foreign governments and agencies. The requests and/or subpoenas we have received relate primarily to financial arrangements with healthcare providers, regulatory compliance and sale and/or product promotional practices. We have cooperated with these subpoenas and other requests for information and expect to continue to do so in the future. We cannot predict when a matter will be resolved, the outcome of the matter or its impact on us and cooperation may involve significant costs, including document production costs. An adverse outcome in any matter could include the commencement of an investigation, civil and criminal proceedings, substantial fines, penalties and administrative remedies, including exclusion from government reimbursement programs, entry into Corporate Integrity Agreements (CIAs) with governmental agencies and amendments to any existing CIAs. In addition, resolution of any matter could involve the imposition of additional and costly compliance obligations. Cooperation with requests and investigations from external agencies result in employee resource costs and diversion of employee focus. If any requests or investigations continue over a long period of time, they could divert the attention of management from the day-to-day operations of our business and impose significant additional administrative burdens on us. These potential consequences, as well as any adverse outcome from these requests or investigations, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, certain foreign governments, state governments (including that of Massachusetts, where we are headquartered) and the U.S. federal government have enacted legislation aimed at increasing transparency of our interactions with healthcare providers. As an example, compliance with the U.S. Physician Payment Sunshine Act requires us by law to disclose payments and other transfers of value to all U.S. physicians and U.S. teaching hospitals at the U.S. federal level made after August 1, 2013. Any failure to comply with these legal and regulatory requirements could impact our business. In addition, we have and may continue to devote substantial additional time and financial resources to further develop and implement enhanced structure, policies, systems and processes to comply with enhanced legal and regulatory requirements, which may also impact our business.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We anticipate that governmental authorities will continue to scrutinize our industry closely and that additional regulation may increase compliance and legal cost and exposure to litigation and have additional adverse effects on our operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Changes in tax laws, unfavorable resolution of tax contingencies, or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income based taxes and tariffs, in both the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. We are subject to ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions. Tax authorities may disagree with certain positions we have taken and assess additional taxes. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision, and we have established contingency reserves for material, known tax exposures. However, the calculation of such tax exposures involves the application of complex tax laws and regulations in many jurisdictions, as well as interpretations as to the legality under European Union state aid rules of tax advantages granted in certain jurisdictions. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these disputes or other tax audits or that issues raised by tax authorities will be resolved at a financial cost that does not exceed our related reserves and the actual outcomes of these disputes and other tax audits could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Changes in tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and application, in the jurisdictions where we are subject to tax could materially impact our effective tax rate. The U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) on December 22, 2017 and we expect the U.S. Treasury to issue future notices and regulations under the TCJA. Certain provisions of the TCJA and the regulations issued thereunder could have a significant impact on our future results of operations as could interpretations made by the Company in the absence of regulatory guidance and judicial interpretations. The result of the upcoming U.S. presidential and congressional elections may result in additional U.S. tax law changes that could have a material impact on our future effective tax rate.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Additionally, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the European Commission (EC) and individual taxing jurisdictions where we and our affiliates do business have recently focused on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. The OECD has released its comprehensive plan to create an agreed set of international rules for fighting base erosion and profit shifting. In addition, the OECD, the EC and individual countries are examining changes to how taxing rights should be allocated among countries considering the digital economy. As a result, the tax laws in the U.S. and other countries in which we and our affiliates do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis and any such changes could materially adversely affect our business.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our operations in Puerto Rico and Costa Rica presently benefit from various tax incentives and grants. Unless these incentives and grants are extended, they will expire between 2023 and 2028. If we are unable to renew, extend, or obtain new incentive and grants, the expiration of the existing incentives and grants could have a material impact on our financial results in future periods.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Furthermore, changes in customs laws and regulations in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.</span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 28</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We may not effectively be able to protect our intellectual property or other sensitive data, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The medical device market in which we participate is largely technology driven. Physician customers have historically moved quickly to new products and new technologies. As a result, intellectual property rights, particularly patents and trade secrets, play a significant role in product development and differentiation. However, intellectual property litigation is inherently complex and unpredictable and appellate courts can overturn lower court decisions. Furthermore, as our business increasingly relies on technology systems and infrastructure, our intellectual property, other proprietary technology and other sensitive data are potentially vulnerable to loss, damage or misappropriation. Finally, our ability to protect novel business models is uncertain. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Competing parties in our industry frequently file multiple suits to leverage patent portfolios across product lines, technologies and geographies and to balance risk and exposure between the parties. In some cases, several competitors are parties in the same proceeding, or in a series of related proceedings, or litigate multiple features of a single class of devices. These forces frequently drive settlement not only of individual cases, but also of a series of pending and potentially related and unrelated cases. In addition, although monetary and injunctive relief is typically sought, remedies and restitution are generally not determined until the conclusion of the trial court proceedings and can be modified on appeal. Accordingly, the outcomes of individual cases are difficult to time, predict or quantify and are often dependent upon the outcomes of other cases in other geographies.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">A number of third parties have asserted that our current and former product offerings infringe patents owned or licensed by them. We have similarly asserted that products sold by our competitors infringe patents owned or licensed by us. Adverse outcomes in one or more of the proceedings against us could limit our ability to sell certain products in certain jurisdictions, or reduce our operating margin on the sale of these products and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Patents and other proprietary rights are and will continue to be essential to our business and our ability to compete effectively with other companies will be dependent upon the proprietary nature of our technologies. We rely upon trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovations, strategic alliances and licensing opportunities to develop, maintain and strengthen our competitive position. We pursue a policy of generally obtaining patent protection in both the U.S. and abroad for patentable subject matter in our proprietary devices and attempt to review third-party patents and patent applications to the extent publicly available in order to develop an effective patent strategy, avoid infringement of third-party patents, identify licensing opportunities and monitor the patent claims of others. We currently own numerous U.S. and foreign patents and have numerous patent applications pending. We also are party to various license agreements pursuant to which patent rights have been obtained or granted in consideration for cash, cross-licensing rights or royalty payments. No assurance can be made that any pending or future patent applications will result in the issuance of patents, that any current or future patents issued to, or licensed by, us will not be challenged or circumvented by our competitors, or that our patents will not be found invalid. In addition, we may have to take legal action in the future to protect our patents, trade secrets or know-how or to assert them against claimed infringement by others. Any legal action of that type could be costly and time consuming and no assurances can be made that any lawsuit will be successful. We are generally involved as both a plaintiff and a defendant in a number of patent infringement and other intellectual property-related actions. The invalidation of key patents or proprietary rights that we own, or an unsuccessful outcome in lawsuits to protect our intellectual property, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, the laws of certain countries in which we market and plan on manufacturing some of our products in the near future, do not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property in these countries, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Furthermore, our intellectual property, other proprietary technology and other sensitive data are potentially vulnerable to loss, damage or misappropriation from system malfunction, computer viruses and unauthorized access to our data or misappropriation or misuse thereof by those with permitted access and other events. While we have invested to protect our intellectual property, products and other data and continue to work diligently in this area, there can be no assurance that our precautionary measures will prevent breakdowns, breaches, cyber-attacks or other events. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We rely on the proper function, availability and security of information technology systems to operate our business and a cyber-attack or other breach of these systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We rely on information technology systems, including technology from third party vendors, to process, transmit and store electronic information in our day-to-day operations.

Our information systems require an ongoing commitment of significant resources to maintain, protect and enhance existing systems and develop new systems to keep pace with continuing changes in information processing technology, evolving systems and regulatory standards, the increasing need to protect patient and customer information and changing customer patterns. In addition, third parties may attempt to hack into our products to obtain data relating to patients or disrupt performance of our products or to access our proprietary information and the technology from third party vendors that we rely upon may have defects or vulnerabilities which, in turn, create vulnerabilities or disruptions in our system. Any failure by us to maintain or protect our information technology systems, products and data integrity, including from cyber-attacks, intrusions or other breaches, could result in the unauthorized access to patient data and personally identifiable information, theft of intellectual property or other misappropriation of assets, or otherwise compromise our confidential or proprietary information and disrupt our operations, or, in the worst case, could result in harm to patients. Such failure, or demonstration of vulnerability to such failure, may also result in additional regulatory scrutiny. We also grow our company through acquisitions and may face risks associated with defects and vulnerabilities in their systems as we work to integrate the acquisitions into our information technology system. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In the U.S., federal and state privacy and security laws require certain of our operations to protect the confidentiality of personal information including patient medical records and other health information, and to comply with other requirements with respect to personal data. In Europe, the Data Protection Directive requires us to manage individually identifiable information in the EU and, the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) may impose fines of up to four percent of our global revenue in the event of violations after implementation of the requirements on May 25, 2018. Internationally, some countries have also passed laws that require individually identifiable data on their citizens to be maintained on local servers and that may restrict transfer or processing of that data. We believe that we meet the expectations of applicable regulations and that the ongoing costs and impacts of ensuring compliance with such rules are not material to our business. However, there is no guarantee that we will avoid enforcement actions by governmental bodies or civil actions based on this growing body of regulations. Enforcement actions could be costly and interrupt regular operations of our business. Any of these events, in turn, may cause us to lose existing customers, have difficulty preventing, detecting and controlling fraud, have disputes with customers, physicians and other healthcare professionals, be subject to legal claims and liability, have regulatory sanctions or penalties imposed, have increases in operating expenses, incur expenses or lose revenues as a result of a data privacy breach or theft of intellectual property, or suffer other adverse consequences, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Pending and future intellectual property litigation could be costly and disruptive to us.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We operate in an industry that is susceptible to significant intellectual property litigation and, in recent years, it has been common for companies in the medical device field to aggressively challenge the patent rights of other companies.

Adverse outcomes in one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell certain products and on our operating margins, financial condition, results of operation or liquidity. Pending or future patent litigation may result in significant royalty or other payments or injunctions that can prevent the sale of products and may significantly divert the attention of our technical and management personnel. In the event that our right to market any of our products is successfully challenged, we may be required to obtain a license on terms which may not be favorable to us, if at all. If we fail to obtain a required license or are unable to design around a patent, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Pending and future product liability claims and other litigation, including private securities litigation, stockholder derivative suits and contract litigation, may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations or liquidity.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The design, manufacturing and marketing of medical devices of the types that we produce entail an inherent risk of product liability claims. Many of the medical devices that we manufacture and sell are designed to be implanted in the human body for long periods of time or indefinitely. A number of factors could result in an unsafe condition or injury to, or death of, a patient with respect to these or other products that we manufacture or sell, including physician technique and experience in performing the surgical procedure, component failures, manufacturing flaws, design defects, off-label use or inadequate disclosure of product-related risks or product-related information. These factors could result in product liability claims, a recall of one or more of our products or a safety alert relating to one or more of our products. Product liability claims may be brought by individuals or by groups seeking to represent a class.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 30</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are currently the subject of product liability litigation proceedings and other proceedings described in more detail under </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Note J &#8211; Commitments and Contingencies</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated financial statements</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> included in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Item 8.

Plaintiffs in these types of lawsuits often seek recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, including not only actual damages, but also punitive damages. The magnitude of the potential losses relating to these lawsuits may remain unknown for substantial periods of time. In addition, the cost to defend against any future litigation may be significant. Product liability claims, securities and commercial litigation and other litigation in the future, regardless of the outcome, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Additionally, we maintain an insurance policy providing limited coverage against securities claims and we are substantially self-insured with respect to product liability claims and fully self-insured with respect to intellectual property infringement claims. The fact that we do not maintain third-party insurance coverage for all categories of losses increases our exposure to unanticipated claims and adverse decisions and these losses could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Any failure to meet regulatory quality standards applicable to our manufacturing and quality processes could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As a medical device manufacturer, we are required to register our establishments and list our devices with the FDA and are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA for compliance with its Quality System Regulation requirements, which require manufacturers of medical devices to adhere to certain regulations, including testing, quality control and documentation procedures. In addition, the Federal Medical Device Reporting regulations require us to provide information to the FDA whenever there is evidence that reasonably suggests that a device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or, if a malfunction were to occur, could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is subject to continual review and is monitored rigorously through periodic inspections by the FDA which may result in observations on Form&#160;483 and in some cases warning letters that require corrective action. In the European Community, we are required to maintain certain International Standards Organization (ISO)&#160;certifications in order to sell our products and must undergo periodic inspections by notified bodies to obtain and maintain these certifications. Many other countries in which we do business have requirements similar to those of the U.S. or the EU and other foreign governments or agencies may subject us to periodic inspections as well.</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#ff0000;"> </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If we, or our manufacturers, fail to adhere to quality system regulations or ISO requirements, this could delay production of our products and lead to fines, difficulties in obtaining regulatory clearances, recalls, enforcement actions, including injunctive relief or consent decrees, or other consequences, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.</span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 31</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><a id="s4B6F32E345DB50BC92F8E0EA00E0CC05"></a></div><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">ITEM 1B.

associated with recently launched products and excess and obsolete inventory.

The step-up in value is amortized through gross profit over an average estimated inventory turnover period. In 2019, we recorded increased cost of $46 million associated with these step-ups.

When we sell a device with a future service obligation, we defer revenue on the unfulfilled performance obligation and recognize this revenue over the related service period. Many of our Cardiac Rhythm Management product offerings combine the sale of a device with our LATITUDE&#8482; Patient Management System, which represents a future service obligation. Generally, we do not have observable evidence of the standalone selling price related to our future service obligations; therefore, we estimate the selling price using an expected cost plus a margin approach. We allocate the transaction price using the relative standalone selling price method. The use of alternative estimates could result in a different amount of revenue deferral.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Contract liabilities are classified within </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other current liabilities</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other long-term liabilities</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> on our accompanying </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated balance sheets</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Our contractual liabilities are primarily composed of deferred revenue related to the LATITUDE&#8482; Patient Management System.

We base our estimate for sales returns upon historical trends and record the amount as a reduction to revenue when we sell the initial product. In addition, we may allow customers to return previously purchased products for next-generation product offerings. For these transactions, we defer recognition of revenue on the sale of the earlier generation product based upon an estimate of the amount of product to be returned when the next-generation products are shipped to the customer. Uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect our estimates related to sales returns and could cause actual returns to differ from these estimates.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We also offer sales rebates and discounts to certain customers. We treat sales rebates and discounts as a reduction of revenue and classify the corresponding liability as current. We estimate rebates for products where there is sufficient historical information available to predict the volume of expected future rebates. If we are unable to reasonably estimate the expected rebates, we record a liability for the maximum rebate percentage offered.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Post Implant Services</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We provide non-contractual services to customers to ensure the safe and effective use of certain implanted devices.

A significant change in the timing or level of demand for our products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory in the future. Further, the industry in which we participate is characterized by rapid product development and frequent new product introductions. Uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect our estimates related to excess, expired and obsolete inventory.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Valuation of Intangible Assets and Contingent Consideration Liability</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#ff0000;font-weight:bold;"> </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We base the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination, including IPR&amp;D, on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management, which consider management&#8217;s best estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use. Further, for those arrangements that involve potential future contingent consideration, we record on the date of acquisition a liability equal to the fair value of the estimated additional consideration we may be obligated to pay in the future. We re-measure this liability each reporting period and record changes in the fair value through a separate line item within our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated statements of operations</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability can result from changes in discount rates, periods, timing and amount of projected revenue or timing or likelihood of achieving regulatory, revenue or commercialization-based milestones.</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> The use of alternative valuation assumptions, including estimated revenue projections, growth rates, cash flows, discount rates, useful life or probability of achieving clinical, regulatory or revenue-based milestones could result in different purchase price allocations and recognized amortization expense and contingent consideration expense or benefit in current and future periods.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We review intangible assets subject to amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or adjustment to the remaining useful life. If we determine it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired based on our qualitative assessment of impairment indicators, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. If the carrying value of the intangible asset is determined not recoverable</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">we will write the carrying value down to fair value in the period identified. We calculate fair value of our intangible assets as the present value of estimated future cash flows we expect to generate from the asset using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The use of alternative assumptions, including estimated cash flows, discount rates and alternative estimated remaining useful lives could result in different calculations of impairment.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, we test our indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually for impairment and reassess their classification as indefinite-lived assets, or more frequently if indicators exist. We assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that our indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, we then determine the fair value of the intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying value in accordance with </span><span>FASB ASC Topic 350, </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Intangibles - Goodwill and Other</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">(</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">FASB ASC Topic 350</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">)</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">. </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset, we write the carrying value down to fair value.

We test our goodwill balances during the second quarter of each year for impairment, or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component.

In some cases, the claimants seek damages, as well as other relief, which, if granted, could require significant expenditures or impact our ability to sell our products. We accrue anticipated costs of settlement, damages, losses for product liability claims and, under certain conditions, costs of defense, based on historical experience or to the extent specific losses are probable and estimable. Otherwise, we expense these costs as incurred. If the estimate of a probable loss is a range and no amount within the range is more likely, we accrue the minimum amount of the range. Litigation and product liability matters are inherently uncertain, and the outcomes of individual matters are difficult to predict and quantify. As such, significant judgment is required in determining our legal and product liability accruals. Our estimates related to our legal and product liability accruals may change as additional information becomes available to us, including information related to the nature or existence of claims against us, trial court or appellate proceedings, and mediation, arbitration or settlement proceedings.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 53</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Income Taxes</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#ff0000;font-weight:bold;"> </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We establish reserves when we believe that certain positions are likely to be challenged despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable.

Examples of such initiatives include the movement of business activities, facility consolidations and closures and the transfer of product lines between manufacturing facilities, which, due to the highly regulated nature of our industry, requires a significant investment in time and cost to create duplicate manufacturing lines, run product validations and seek regulatory approvals. Restructuring initiatives take place over a defined timeframe and have a distinct project timeline that begins subsequent to approval by our Board of Directors. In contrast to our ongoing cost reduction initiatives, restructuring initiatives typically result in duplicative cost and exit costs over this period of time, are one-time shut downs or transfers and are not considered part of our core, ongoing operations.

The most significant of these was the acquisition of all outstanding equity of BTG, plc. for consideration of approximately $3.62 billion, net of cash acquired. The transactions were accounted for as business combinations. In certain acquisitions, the Company has recognized a liability for acquisition consideration that is contingent upon achieving either research and development and commercialization milestones, or sales-based milestones. The Company determines the fair value of these arrangements, both as part of the initial purchase price allocation, and on an ongoing basis each reporting period until the arrangements are settled. As of December 31, 2019, the amount accrued for future estimated contingent consideration is $354 million.</span></div><div style="padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Auditing the Company&#8217;s accounting for its acquisitions was complex due to the significant estimation required by management to determine the fair value of identified intangible assets, which totaled $2.2 billion and principally consisted of developed technology and assets related to currently marketed products, and to determine the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements. A significant emphasis is placed on the appropriateness of the estimate considerations used by management to determine the fair value of acquired intangible assets due to the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying assumptions. The Company used an income approach to measure the technology-related intangible assets. The significant assumptions used to estimate the value of the intangible assets included discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results, including revenue growth rates, estimates of technological obsolescence, operating profit margin and market participant synergies. The significance of the estimations used by management to determine the fair value of contingent consideration was primarily due to the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the significant underlying assumptions. The significant assumptions include estimation of the probability and timing of payment, future sales forecasts, as well as the appropriate discount rate based on the estimated timing of payments. These significant assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.</span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit</span></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls over the Company&#8217;s accounting for acquisitions.

In testing the valuation of contingent consideration, we assessed, among other things, the terms of the arrangements and the conditions that must be met for the arrangements to become payable. We evaluated the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the analyses. For example, we compared the significant assumptions to current industry, market and economic trends, to the assumptions used to value similar assets in other acquisitions, to the historical results of the acquired business and to other guideline companies within the same industry. We involved our valuation professionals to assist with our evaluation of the methodology used by the Company and significant assumptions included in the fair value estimates.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</span></div></td></tr></table></div></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 63</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"><div style="padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:normal;padding-top:10px;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;text-align:left;"><tr><td colspan="2"></td></tr><tr><td style="width:18%;"></td><td style="width:82%;"></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="overflow:hidden;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</span></div></td><td style="vertical-align:bottom;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Income Taxes&#160;- Intra-entity transfer of a license for intellectual property </span></div></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Description of the Matter</span></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;padding-left:2px;padding-top:2px;padding-bottom:2px;padding-right:2px;"><div style="padding-bottom:10px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">As discussed in Note I - </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Income Taxes,</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;the Company completed intra-entity transfers of certain intellectual property rights among various wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company determined that some of these transactions created a step-up in the tax deductible basis in the transferred intellectual property rights in certain jurisdictions and recognized a deferred tax asset and related income tax benefit of $4.1 billion based upon the tax basis step-up to the intellectual property&#8217;s current fair value.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Auditing management&#8217;s estimation of the intellectual property&#8217;s fair value was especially challenging because the estimates required significant and complex management judgments to establish assumptions about the intellectual property&#8217;s fair value, including revenue growth rates, projected profit margins, and discount rate.

We involved our valuation professionals to assist with the evaluation of the appropriateness of the valuation model used by management and the methodology used in determining the valuation of significant assumptions included in the fair value estimates. We also involved tax professionals to assess the technical merits of the Company&#8217;s tax positions related to the intra-entity transfers. To evaluate the reasonableness of management&#8217;s assumptions about revenue growth rates and projected profit margins, we compared these assumptions to historical revenue and profit margins for the business and to industry benchmarks. We also compared these assumptions to those used in the Company&#8217;s annual budget and forecasting process to determine whether they were consistent, where relevant.

Our investment policy limits exposure to concentrations of credit risk and changes in market conditions. Counterparties to financial instruments expose us to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance. We transact our financial instruments with a diversified group of major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and actively monitor their credit ratings and our outstanding positions to limit our credit exposure. In the normal course, our payment terms with customers, including hospitals, healthcare agencies, clinics, doctors' offices and other private and governmental institutions, are typically 30 days in the U.S. but may be longer in international markets and generally do not require collateral. We record our accounts receivable in our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated balance sheets</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> at net realizable value. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses, based on historical information and management's best estimates. We write-off amounts determined to be uncollectible against this reserve. Write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable were immaterial in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

Our European sales to government-owned or supported customers in Southern Europe are subject to an increased number of days outstanding prior to payment relative to other countries. Historically, receivable balances with certain publicly-owned hospitals in these countries accumulated over a period of time and are then subsequently settled as large lump sum payments, sometimes at large discounts. While we believe our allowance for doubtful accounts in these countries is adequate as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, if significant changes were to occur in the payment practices of these European governments or if government funding becomes unavailable, we may not be able to collect on receivables due to us from these customers, and our write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable may increase. </span></div></ix:nonNumeric><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</span></div><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="FD2019Q4YTD" name="us-gaap:RevenueRecognitionPolicyTextBlock" id="TextSelection-24478DA31609D5A64AB8F706798595B9-0-wk-Fact-F910A4223F1ABAAB47C8F7067904F8C5" continuedAt="TextSelection-24478DA31609D5A64AB8F706798595B9-1" escape="true"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Revenue Recognition</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In May 2014, the FASB issued </span><span>FASB ASC Topic 606, </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Revenue from Contracts with Customers</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">(Topic 606), which was subsequently updated.

We treat shipping and handling costs performed after a customer obtains control of the good as a fulfillment cost and record these costs as a selling expense when incurred. We recognize revenue from consignment arrangements based on product usage, or implant, which indicates that the sale is complete. We recognize a receivable at the point in time we have an unconditional right to payment.

When we sell a device with a future service obligation, we defer revenue on the unfulfilled performance obligation and recognize this revenue over the related service period. Many of our Cardiac Rhythm Management product offerings combine the sale of a device with our LATITUDE&#8482; Patient Management System, which represents a future service obligation. Generally, we do not have observable evidence of the standalone selling price related to our future service obligations; therefore, we estimate the selling price using an expected cost plus a margin approach. We allocate the transaction price using the relative standalone selling price method. The use of alternative estimates could result in a different amount of revenue deferral.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Contract liabilities are classified within </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other current liabilities</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other long-term liabilities</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> on our accompanying </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated balance sheets</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Our contractual liabilities are primarily composed of deferred revenue related to the LATITUDE Patient Management System. Revenue is recognized over the average service period which is based on device and patient longevity. We have elected not to disclose the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations when the original expected contract duration is one year or less. In addition, we have not identified material unfulfilled performance obligations for which revenue is not currently deferred.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Variable Consideration</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We generally allow our customers to return defective, damaged and, in certain cases, expired products for credit. We base our estimate for sales returns upon historical trends and record the amount as a reduction to revenue when we sell the initial product. In addition, we may allow customers to return previously purchased products for next-generation product offerings. For these transactions, we defer recognition of revenue on the sale of the earlier generation product based upon an estimate of the amount of product to be returned when the next-generation products are shipped to the customer. Uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect our estimates related to sales returns and could cause actual returns to differ from these estimates.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We also offer sales rebates and discounts to certain customers. We treat sales rebates and discounts as a reduction of revenue and classify the corresponding liability as current. We estimate rebates for products where there is sufficient historical information available to predict the volume of expected future rebates. If we are unable to reasonably estimate the expected rebates, we record a liability for the maximum rebate percentage offered. We have entered certain agreements with group purchasing organizations to sell our products to participating hospitals at negotiated prices. We recognize revenue from these agreements following the same revenue recognition criteria discussed above.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div></ix:continuation></ix:continuation><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 72</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><ix:continuation id="TextSelection-E314E4AA51FC8ADA890DF70679850A7B-3" continuedAt="TextSelection-E314E4AA51FC8ADA890DF70679850A7B-4"><ix:continuation id="TextSelection-24478DA31609D5A64AB8F706798595B9-2"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Capitalized Contract Costs</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We capitalize commission fees related to contracts with customers when the associated revenue is expected to be earned over a period that exceeds one year.

Our Cardiac Rhythm Management products come with a standard limited warranty covering the replacement of these devices. We offer a full warranty for a portion of the period post-implant and a partial warranty for a period of time thereafter. We estimate the costs that we may incur under our warranty programs based on the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim and record a liability equal to these estimated costs as cost of products sold at the time the product sale occurs.

The qualitative assessment was used for testing certain reporting units where fair value has historically exceeded carrying value by greater than 100 percent. All other reporting units were tested using the quantitative approach described below. The qualitative assessment requires an evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount based on an assessment of relevant events including macroeconomic factors, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other entity-specific factors. After assessing the totality of events, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further steps are required.

We selected this method as being the most meaningful in preparing our goodwill assessments because we believe the income approach most appropriately measures our income producing assets. We have considered using the market approach and cost approach but concluded they are not appropriate in valuing our reporting units given the lack of relevant market comparisons available for application of the market approach and the inability to replicate the value of the specific technology-based assets within our reporting units for application of the cost approach. Therefore, we believe that the income approach represents the most appropriate valuation technique for which sufficient data are available to determine the fair value of our reporting units. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In applying the income approach to our accounting for goodwill, we make assumptions about the amount and timing of future expected cash flows, terminal value growth rates and appropriate discount rates. The amount and timing of future cash flows within our Discounted Cash Flow analysis is based on our most recent operational budgets, long range strategic plans and other estimates. The terminal value growth rate reflects our best estimates for stable, perpetual growth of our reporting units. We use estimates of market-participant risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital as a basis for determining the discount rates to apply to our reporting units&#8217; future expected cash flows. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Refer to </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Note C &#8211; Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated financial statements</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for additional details related to our goodwill balances.</span></div></ix:continuation><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="FD2019Q4YTD" name="us-gaap:EquityAndCostMethodInvestmentsPolicy" id="TextSelection-E4679ADF473A726D5BCBF706798615FE-0-wk-Fact-1FCF7EF7E045E243BFF9F70679085C72" continuedAt="TextSelection-E4679ADF473A726D5BCBF706798615FE-1" escape="true"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Investments in Publicly Traded and Privately Held Entities</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In January 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2016-01, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Financial Instruments - Overall </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">(Subtopic 825-10)</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The purpose of Update No. 2016-01 is to improve financial reporting for financial instruments by reducing the number of items recorded to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other Comprehensive Income</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

For privately-held securities of investee companies over which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, we elected the measurement alternative approach for our existing investments, which is applied prospectively upon adoption. This approach requires entities to measure their investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Examples of such impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, a significant deterioration in earnings performance, recent financing rounds at reduced valuations, a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of an investee or a significant doubt about an investee&#8217;s ability to continue as a going concern. If we identify an impairment indicator, we will estimate the fair value of the investment and compare it to its carrying value. Our estimation of fair value considers financial information related to the investee available to us, including valuations based on recent third-party equity investments in the investee. If the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, the investment is impaired and we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between an investment&#8217;s carrying value and its fair value if accounted for under measurement alternative. For our equity method investments, an impairment loss is recorded if we determine the impairment is other-than-temporary. We deem an impairment to be other-than-temporary unless available evidence indicates that the valuation is more likely than not to recover up to the carrying value of the investment in a reasonable period of time, and we have both the ability and intent to hold the investment for at least the period of time needed to recover the value. For other-than-temporary impairments, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between an investment&#8217;s carrying value and its fair value.

Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when we expect the differences to reverse. We reduce our deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that we will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. We consider relevant evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the need for a valuation allowance. Information evaluated includes our financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, the availability of deferred tax liabilities and tax carrybacks, as well as estimates of the impact of future taxable income and available prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies. We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As part of the TCJA, we are subject to a territorial tax system in which we are required to establish an accounting policy in providing for tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries.

We are also the subject of certain governmental investigations, which could result in substantial fines, penalties and administrative remedies. We maintain an insurance policy providing limited coverage against securities claims, and we are substantially self-insured with respect to product liability claims and fully self-insured with respect to intellectual property infringement claims.

These charges include acquisition-related costs, stock-based compensation expenses as a result of the change in control and retention bonuses and severance payments, adjusted for the related tax effects.

Additionally, the pro forma amounts have been adjusted to reflect the amortization of deferred financing costs and interest expense associated with additional financing entered into as part of the acquisition. The pro forma results exclude BTG&#8217;s historical licensing revenue and related cost of sales, as these arrangements are accounted for as part of the acquisition as a financial asset and liability and are not accounted for within the scope of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">FASB ASC Topic 606</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div></ix:continuation><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 81</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><ix:continuation id="TextSelection-FF5F8D8B671F533D36A3F70679863563-3" continuedAt="TextSelection-FF5F8D8B671F533D36A3F70679863563-4"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The supplemental pro forma information presented below is for informational purposes only and should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements.

Our derivative instruments do not subject our earnings to material risk, as the gains or losses on these derivatives generally offset losses or gains recognized on the hedged item.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We manage concentration of counterparty credit risk by limiting acceptable counterparties to major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of credit exposure to individual counterparties and by actively monitoring counterparty credit ratings and the amount of individual credit exposure. We also employ master netting arrangements that limit the risk of counterparty non-payment on a particular settlement date to the net gain that would have otherwise been received from the counterparty. Although not completely eliminated, we do not consider the risk of counterparty default to be significant as a result of these protections. Further, none of our derivative instruments are subject to collateral or other security arrangements, nor do they contain provisions that are dependent on our credit ratings from any credit rating agency.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div></ix:nonNumeric><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:right;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> 89</span></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"></hr><div><br/></div><ix:continuation id="TextSelection-F3FB261D56B66E62602EF706798610D8-1" continuedAt="TextSelection-F3FB261D56B66E62602EF706798610D8-2"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Currency Hedging Instruments</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Risk Management Strategy</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our risk from changes in currency exchange rates consists primarily of monetary assets and liabilities, forecast intercompany and third-party transactions, net investments in certain subsidiaries and the purchase price of any acquisition that is denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are generally not recorded on the balance sheet, unless the arrangement includes an option to purchase the underlying asset, or an option to renew the arrangement, that we are reasonably certain to exercise (short-term leases). We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term for short-term leases that we do not record on our balance sheet. If there is a change in our assessment of the lease term and, as a result, the remaining lease term extends more than 12 months from the end of the previously determined lease term, or we subsequently become reasonably certain that we will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, the lease no longer meets the definition of a short-term lease and is accounted for as either an operating or finance lease and recognized on the balance sheet.

Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, we utilize the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. </span></div><div

As a result, intellectual property rights, particularly patents and trade secrets, play a significant role in product development and differentiation. Over the years, there has been litigation initiated against us by others, including our competitors, claiming that our current or former product offerings infringe patents owned or licensed by them. Intellectual property litigation is inherently complex and unpredictable. In addition, competing parties frequently file multiple suits to leverage patent portfolios across product lines, technologies and geographies and to balance risk and exposure between the parties. In some cases, several competitors are parties in the same proceeding, or in a series of related proceedings, or litigate multiple features of a single class of devices. These dynamics frequently drive settlement not only for individual cases, but also for a series of pending and potentially related and unrelated cases. Although monetary and injunctive relief is typically sought, remedies and restitution are generally not determined until the conclusion of the trial court proceedings and can be modified on appeal. Accordingly, the outcomes of individual cases are difficult to time, predict or quantify and are often dependent upon the outcomes of other cases in other geographies. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">During recent years, we successfully negotiated closure of several long-standing legal matters and have received favorable rulings in several other matters; however, there continues to be outstanding intellectual property litigation.

Similar claims may be asserted against us in the future related to events not known to management at the present time. We maintain an insurance policy providing limited coverage against securities claims and we are substantially self-insured with respect to product liability claims and fully self-insured with respect to intellectual property infringement claims. The absence of significant third-party insurance coverage increases our potential exposure to unanticipated claims or adverse decisions. Product liability claims, securities and commercial litigation and other legal proceedings in the future, regardless of their outcome, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, like other companies in the medical device industry, we are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and other countries in which we operate.

On April 13, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, as well as a separate opposition to the multidistrict litigation motion and on May 31, 2017, the Joint Panel on Multi-District Litigation denied ABRAMGE&#8217;s motion for the multidistrict litigation. On September 1, 2017, ABRAMGE filed a motion for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint, while our motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint remained pending. On September 15, 2017, we filed an opposition to the motion seeking leave to amend. On November 8, 2018, the Court granted ABRAMGE&#8217;s motion for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint, while also granting us leave to renew our motion to dismiss. We filed our motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on January 18, 2019. On February 28, 2019, ABRAMGE dismissed its Second Amended Complaint, concluding the lawsuit.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On or about January 12, 2016, Teresa L. Stevens filed a claim against us and three other defendants asserting, for herself and on behalf of a putative class of similarly situated women, that she was harmed by a vaginal mesh implant that she alleges contained a counterfeit or adulterated resin product that we imported from China. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, before the same Court that is hearing the mesh MDL. The complaint, which alleges Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) violations, fraud, misrepresentation, deceptive trade practices and unjust enrichment, seeks both equitable relief and damages under state and federal law. On January 26, 2016, the Court issued an order staying the case and directing the plaintiff to submit information to allow the FDA to issue a determination with respect to her allegations. In addition, we were in contact with the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia and responded voluntarily to their requests in connection with that office&#8217;s review of the allegations concerning the use of mesh resin in the complaint. We reached a settlement on this matter and this case was dismissed on May 13, 2019.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On February 27, 2017, Carolyn Turner filed a complaint against us and five other defendants asserting for herself and on behalf of a putative class of similarly situated women, that she was harmed by a vaginal mesh implant that she alleges contained a counterfeit or adulterated resin product that we imported from China. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division and alleges violations of the RICO, negligence, strict liability, breach of an express or implied warranty, intentional and negligent misrepresentation, fraud and unjust enrichment. Ms. Turner served this complaint against us on April 7, 2017. As of April 27, 2017, this case was stayed, pending resolution of the transfer petition to the mesh multidistrict litigation. We reached a settlement on this matter and this case was dismissed on February 25, 2019.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On April 24, 2019, a class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Boston Scientific Corporation, Michael F.

The complaint alleges violations of federal securities laws based on false and/or misleading statements and failure to disclose facts related to the Company&#8217;s transvaginal surgical mesh products.&#160;On September 20, 2019, the case was dismissed with prejudice.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On March 10, 2017, Imran Niazi filed a patent infringement action against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin alleging that a U.S. patent owned by him is infringed by our Acuity&#8482; Lead Delivery System. On June 30, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss for improper venue and on November 7, 2017 the Wisconsin Court granted the motion to dismiss.&#160;On November 13, 2017 Niazi refiled the same action in the U.S. District of Minnesota. We reached a confidential settlement on this matter on February 3, 2020 pursuant to which we anticipate the court will dismiss the pending action.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On August 3, 2012, we were served with a qui tam complaint that had previously been filed under seal against Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on March 2, 2011.

On September 10, 2012, the relators filed an amended complaint revising and restating certain of the claims in the original complaint. Our motion to dismiss, filed subsequently, was denied on May 31, 2013 and on June 28, 2013, we answered the amended complaint and brought certain counterclaims arising from relators&#8217; unauthorized removal of documents from the business during their employments, which the relators moved to dismiss on July 22, 2013. The Court denied relators&#8217; motion to dismiss the counterclaims on September 4, 2014. Following the completion of fact and expert discovery, we filed a motion for summary judgment against all claims on January 27, 2017, relators filed their own motion for summary judgment against our counterclaims that same date. On December 15, 2017, the Court denied both motions for summary judgment. The parties reached a settlement on May 2, 2019, and the Court subsequently ordered the case dismissed, except for any claim by relators to recover attorneys&#8217; fees.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On November 1, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement with Channel Medsystems, Inc. (Channel) pursuant to which we could have been obligated to pay </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$145 million</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in cash up-front and a maximum of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$130 million</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in contingent payments to acquire Channel. The agreement contained a provision allowing Channel to sell the remaining equity interests of Channel to us upon achievement of a regulatory milestone and an option allowing us to acquire the remaining equity interests. We sent a notice of termination of that agreement to Channel in the second quarter of 2018. On September 12, 2018, Channel filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court against us for alleged breach of the agreement. Channel alleged that we breached the agreement by terminating it. We have answered the complaint, denied the claims by Channel and counterclaimed to recover part of our investment in Channel, alleging fraud in the inducement. On April 2, 2019, Channel announced its receipt of FDA approval of the Cerene&#8482; Cryotherapy Device. Trial testimony was taken in April 2019, and the post-trial briefing and hearing have been completed. During the third quarter of 2019, Channel notified us that they were exercising their option to sell the remaining equity interests in Channel to us. We responded to the notification that we did not intend to purchase Channel since the previous agreement had been terminated. On December 18, 2019, the Chancery Court ruled that Boston Scientific was in breach of the agreement and granted Channel's request for specific performance to require the Company to complete the purchase. On January 10, 2020, we filed a Notice of Appeal of the Chancery Court&#8217;s decision to the Delaware Supreme Court. On February 4, 2020, the Company settled the dispute with Channel resulting in termination of the agreement, payment by the Company of an undisclosed sum and surrender of the Company's equity interest in Channel.</span></div></ix:continuation><div><a id="sFA8019A3857D5DF7936EA44786B5075F"></a></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><ix:nonNumeric contextRef="FD2019Q4YTD" name="us-gaap:StockholdersEquityNoteDisclosureTextBlock" id="TextSelection-5E4377AFB35BD2A4D1B4F706798A3202-0-wk-Fact-D8E97F7A076EBA8AAB46F706795615C7" escape="true"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">NOTE K &#8211; STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Preferred Stock</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We are authorized to issue </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span><ix:nonFraction id="d42093759e647-wk-Fact-90638C914297A222F642F70678EBFB93" name="us-gaap:PreferredStockSharesAuthorized" contextRef="FI2019Q4" unitRef="shares" decimals="0" scale="6" format="ixt:numdotdecimal">50</ix:nonFraction> million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, option or other rights thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption terms, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series, without any further vote or action by our stockholders.

The U.K. Plan was closed to new entrants as of June 1, 2004. Prior to the acquisition close date of August&#160;19, 2019, the Trustees of the U.K. Plan executed buy-in arrangements (Buy-in Contracts), which effectively, as structured under the Buy-in Contracts, are intended to provide payments designed to equal all future designated contractual benefit payments to covered participants. The benefit obligation of the pension plan is not transferred to the insurers, and we remain responsible for paying pension benefits. We do not anticipate any additional material contributions or payments to the U.K. Plan or the insurer. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span

We believe this is a reasonable proxy for an effective settlement rate of the buy-in assets. The discount rate is calculated as the single equivalent assumption that gives the same value of the liabilities as if the figures were calculated using the full yield curve. We assume that all pension increases will continue to be linked to the Retail Price Inflation (RPI), both before and after retirement, for all members, with the exception of post-88 Guaranteed Minimum Pensions (GMP), which will be based on Consumer Price Inflation (CPI). We base our rate of expected return on plan assets as equal to the discount rate used to value the buy-in assets. The U.K. Plan assets' investment policy is to invest in fully matching assets. This has been achieved through the purchase of two buy-in policies (Buy-in contracts), which provide payments designed to equal all future benefit payments due from the fund.

We are subject to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporate Law, or the DGCL. Section&#160;203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a &#8220;business combination&#8221; with an &#8220;interested stockholder&#8221; for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A &#8220;business combination&#8221; includes mergers, consolidations, assets sales, and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an &#8220;interested stockholder&#8221; is a person who, together with affiliates owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation&#8217;s voting stock.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">Liability of Directors and Officers</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">. As permitted by the DGCL, our Charter provides that our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except in certain circumstances involving wrongful acts, such as the breach of a director&#8217;s duty of loyalty, acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. Our directors are also subject to liability under Section&#160;174 of the DGCL, which makes directors personally liable for unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions if the unlawful conduct is willful or results from negligence.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Under our Charter and by-laws (and in accordance with Section&#160;145 of the DGCL), we will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding. These include civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceedings by reason of the fact that the person is or was one of our directors, officers or employees, or is or was serving in that capacity or as an agent at our request for another entity. Our indemnity covers expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of an action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interest and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful. We will indemnify a person in a derivative action under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person is adjudged to be liable to us in performance of his or her duty. Derivative actions are actions by us or in our right to procure a judgment in our favor. Our agents may&#160;be similarly indemnified at the discretion of our board of directors. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements provide rights of indemnification substantially similar to and, in certain respects, broader than those provided by the Charter and by-laws.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">Election of Directors; Removal; Vacancies</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.

Our by-laws provide that each nominee for director shall be elected to the board of directors by the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast, in person or by proxy, by the holders of shares entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected at any such meeting, the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, in person or by proxy.

The provisions of our Charter and by-laws that govern the number, election, and terms of the board of directors may&#160;not be amended without the affirmative vote of at least 80% of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">Meetings of Stockholders</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">. Our Charter provides that stockholder action can only be taken at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and that the business permitted to be conducted at any special meeting of stockholders is limited to the business brought before the meeting by the Chairman of the board of directors or our President or at the request of a majority of the members of the board of directors. Our Charter and by-laws provide that special meetings of stockholders can be called only by the Chairman of the board of directors, the Chief Executive Officer (or if there is no Chief Executive Officer, the President), or pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the total number of directors which we would have if there were no vacancies on the board of directors. Stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require that the board of directors call a special meeting of stockholders.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominees. </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Our by-laws provide that stockholders seeking to make nominations of candidates for election as directors, or to bring other business before an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder&#8217;s notice must be delivered to and received at our principal executive offices not less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date that our proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the previous year's annual meeting. However, in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or after the first anniversary date of the preceding year&#8217;s annual meeting, or in the event of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, then the deadline is a reasonable time before the we begin to print and mail our proxy materials. Our by-laws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder&#8217;s notice. These provisions may restrict the ability of our stockholders to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders or to make nominations for directors at our annual meeting or any special meeting of stockholders.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">Proxy Access.</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#32;&#32;Our by-laws permit an eligible stockholder or group of stockholders to include up to a specified number of director nominees in our proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders. To qualify, the stockholders (or group of up to twenty stockholders) must have continuously owned for at least three years 3% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock. The maximum number of stockholder nominees permitted under the proxy access provisions of our by-laws is the greater of (i) two or (ii) 20% of the total number of our directors in office as of the last day on which notice of a nomination may be delivered.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Notice of a nomination under our proxy access by-law provisions must generally be submitted to our principal executive offices not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days prior to the first anniversary of the date that we first mailed our proxy statement to stockholders for the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders.

The DGCL provides generally that the vote of a majority of shares entitled to vote is required to act on most matters and to amend a corporation&#8217;s certificate of incorporation. Our Charter and by-laws contain provisions requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting stock, voting together as a single class, to amend certain provisions of the Charter and our by-laws, including certain of the foregoing provisions. Such a supermajority vote would be in addition to any separate class&#160;vote that might in the future be required with respect to shares of preferred stock then outstanding.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-style:italic;">Miscellaneous</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.

Our investment policy limits exposure to concentrations of credit risk and changes in market conditions. Counterparties to financial instruments expose us to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance. We transact our financial instruments with a diversified group of major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and actively monitor their credit ratings and our outstanding positions to limit our credit exposure. In the normal course, our payment terms with customers, including hospitals, healthcare agencies, clinics, doctors' offices and other private and governmental institutions, are typically 30 days in the U.S. but may be longer in international markets and generally do not require collateral. We record our accounts receivable in our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated balance sheets</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> at net realizable value. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses, based on historical information and management's best estimates. We write-off amounts determined to be uncollectible against this reserve. Write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable were immaterial in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

Our European sales to government-owned or supported customers in Southern Europe are subject to an increased number of days outstanding prior to payment relative to other countries. Historically, receivable balances with certain publicly-owned hospitals in these countries accumulated over a period of time and are then subsequently settled as large lump sum payments, sometimes at large discounts. While we believe our allowance for doubtful accounts in these countries is adequate as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, if significant changes were to occur in the payment practices of these European governments or if government funding becomes unavailable, we may not be able to collect on receivables due to us from these customers, and our write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable may increase. </span></div><span></span>

Generally, we do not have observable evidence of the standalone selling price related to our future service obligations; therefore, we estimate the selling price using an expected cost plus a margin approach. We allocate the transaction price using the relative standalone selling price method. The use of alternative estimates could result in a different amount of revenue deferral.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Contract liabilities are classified within </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other current liabilities</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other long-term liabilities</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> on our accompanying </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated balance sheets</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Our contractual liabilities are primarily composed of deferred revenue related to the LATITUDE Patient Management System. Revenue is recognized over the average service period which is based on device and patient longevity. We have elected not to disclose the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations when the original expected contract duration is one year or less. In addition, we have not identified material unfulfilled performance obligations for which revenue is not currently deferred.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Variable Consideration</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We generally allow our customers to return defective, damaged and, in certain cases, expired products for credit. We base our estimate for sales returns upon historical trends and record the amount as a reduction to revenue when we sell the initial product. In addition, we may allow customers to return previously purchased products for next-generation product offerings. For these transactions, we defer recognition of revenue on the sale of the earlier generation product based upon an estimate of the amount of product to be returned when the next-generation products are shipped to the customer. Uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect our estimates related to sales returns and could cause actual returns to differ from these estimates.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We also offer sales rebates and discounts to certain customers. We treat sales rebates and discounts as a reduction of revenue and classify the corresponding liability as current. We estimate rebates for products where there is sufficient historical information available to predict the volume of expected future rebates. If we are unable to reasonably estimate the expected rebates, we record a liability for the maximum rebate percentage offered. We have entered certain agreements with group purchasing organizations to sell our products to participating hospitals at negotiated prices. We recognize revenue from these agreements following the same revenue recognition criteria discussed above.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Capitalized Contract Costs</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We capitalize commission fees related to contracts with customers when the associated revenue is expected to be earned over a period that exceeds one year. Deferred commissions are primarily related to the sale of devices enabled with our LATITUDE&#8482; Patient Management System. We have elected to expense commission costs when incurred for contracts with an expected duration of one year or less. Capitalized commission fees are amortized over the period the associated products or services are transferred. Similarly, we capitalize certain recoverable costs related to the delivery of the LATITUDE Remote Monitoring Service. These fulfillment costs are amortized over the average service period.

We allocate assets and liabilities not directly related to a specific reporting unit, but from which the reporting unit benefits, based primarily on the respective revenue contribution of each reporting unit.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> annual impairment assessments, for those reporting units for which a quantitative test was performed, we used only the income approach, specifically the Discounted Cash Flow&#160;method, to derive the fair value of each of our reporting units in preparing our goodwill impairment assessments. We selected this method as being the most meaningful in preparing our goodwill assessments because we believe the income approach most appropriately measures our income producing assets. We have considered using the market approach and cost approach but concluded they are not appropriate in valuing our reporting units given the lack of relevant market comparisons available for application of the market approach and the inability to replicate the value of the specific technology-based assets within our reporting units for application of the cost approach. Therefore, we believe that the income approach represents the most appropriate valuation technique for which sufficient data are available to determine the fair value of our reporting units. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In applying the income approach to our accounting for goodwill, we make assumptions about the amount and timing of future expected cash flows, terminal value growth rates and appropriate discount rates. The amount and timing of future cash flows within our Discounted Cash Flow analysis is based on our most recent operational budgets, long range strategic plans and other estimates. The terminal value growth rate reflects our best estimates for stable, perpetual growth of our reporting units. We use estimates of market-participant risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital as a basis for determining the discount rates to apply to our reporting units&#8217; future expected cash flows. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Refer to </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Note C &#8211; Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated financial statements</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for additional details related to our goodwill balances.</span></div><span></span>

Examples of such impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, a significant deterioration in earnings performance, recent financing rounds at reduced valuations, a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of an investee or a significant doubt about an investee&#8217;s ability to continue as a going concern. If we identify an impairment indicator, we will estimate the fair value of the investment and compare it to its carrying value. Our estimation of fair value considers financial information related to the investee available to us, including valuations based on recent third-party equity investments in the investee. If the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, the investment is impaired and we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between an investment&#8217;s carrying value and its fair value if accounted for under measurement alternative. For our equity method investments, an impairment loss is recorded if we determine the impairment is other-than-temporary. We deem an impairment to be other-than-temporary unless available evidence indicates that the valuation is more likely than not to recover up to the carrying value of the investment in a reasonable period of time, and we have both the ability and intent to hold the investment for at least the period of time needed to recover the value. For other-than-temporary impairments, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between an investment&#8217;s carrying value and its fair value.

Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when we expect the differences to reverse. We reduce our deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that we will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. We consider relevant evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the need for a valuation allowance. Information evaluated includes our financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, the availability of deferred tax liabilities and tax carrybacks, as well as estimates of the impact of future taxable income and available prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies. We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As part of the TCJA, we are subject to a territorial tax system in which we are required to establish an accounting policy in providing for tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. We have elected to treat the impact of GILTI as a period cost and will be reported as a part of continuing operations.

Furthermore, we elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our leases.

The purpose of Update No. 2016-13 is to replace the current incurred loss impairment methodology for financial assets measured at amortized cost with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information, including forecasted information, to develop credit loss estimates.

We operate these programs pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies and do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Our derivative instruments do not subject our earnings to material risk, as the gains or losses on these derivatives generally offset losses or gains recognized on the hedged item.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We manage concentration of counterparty credit risk by limiting acceptable counterparties to major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of credit exposure to individual counterparties and by actively monitoring counterparty credit ratings and the amount of individual credit exposure. We also employ master netting arrangements that limit the risk of counterparty non-payment on a particular settlement date to the net gain that would have otherwise been received from the counterparty. Although not completely eliminated, we do not consider the risk of counterparty default to be significant as a result of these protections. Further, none of our derivative instruments are subject to collateral or other security arrangements, nor do they contain provisions that are dependent on our credit ratings from any credit rating agency.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">Currency Hedging Instruments</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Risk Management Strategy</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Our risk from changes in currency exchange rates consists primarily of monetary assets and liabilities, forecast intercompany and third-party transactions, net investments in certain subsidiaries and the purchase price of any acquisition that is denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. We manage currency exchange rate risk at a consolidated level to reduce the cost of hedging by taking advantage of offsetting transactions. We employ derivative and nonderivative instruments, primarily forward currency contracts, to reduce the risk to our earnings and cash flows associated with changes in currency exchange rates. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The success of our currency risk management program depends, in part, on forecast transactions denominated primarily in Euro, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi and British pound sterling.

In doing so, we use inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, other observable inputs for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.

BTG had three key portfolios, the largest of which is its interventional medicine portfolio (Interventional Medicine) that encompasses interventional oncology therapeutic technologies for patients with liver and kidney cancers, as well as a vascular portfolio for treatment of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, deep venous obstruction and superficial venous disease. Following the closing of the acquisition, we began to integrate BTG's Interventional Medicine business into our Peripheral Interventions division. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition to the Interventional Medicine product lines, the BTG portfolio also included a specialty pharmaceutical business (Specialty Pharmaceuticals) comprised of acute care antidotes to treat overexposure to certain medications and toxins and a licensing portfolio (Licensing arrangements) that generates net royalties related to BTG intellectual property and product license agreements. In connection with the acquisition, we acquired rights to future royalties associated with the Zytiga&#8482; drug used to treat certain forms of prostate cancer. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we sold our rights to these royalties for </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$256 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in cash, included in </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Proceeds from royalty rights transfer</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

In 2019, we incurred nonrecurring charges that we attributed to our acquisition of BTG, which are presented in our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated statements of operations</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for this period. These charges include acquisition-related costs, stock-based compensation expenses as a result of the change in control and retention bonuses and severance payments, adjusted for the related tax effects.

Additionally, the pro forma amounts have been adjusted to reflect the amortization of deferred financing costs and interest expense associated with additional financing entered into as part of the acquisition. The pro forma results exclude BTG&#8217;s historical licensing revenue and related cost of sales, as these arrangements are accounted for as part of the acquisition as a financial asset and liability and are not accounted for within the scope of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">FASB ASC Topic 606</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">The supplemental pro forma information presented below is for informational purposes only and should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition. Accordingly, the unaudited estimated pro forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined companies would have been had the acquisition of BTG occurred as of January 1, 2018, nor are they indicative of future results of operations.

Additionally, we transferred certain contingent consideration arrangements arising from our initial acquisition of the portfolio to Varian and agreed to indemnify Varian for any payments ultimately arising under the terms of the contingent consideration arrangement.

The transaction price consisted of an upfront cash payment of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$465 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and contingent payments that are based on a percentage of Vertiflex sales growth in the first three years following the acquisition close.

The performance-based and market-based awards discussed above do not contain provisions that would accelerate the full vesting of the awards upon retirement-eligibility.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We recognize stock-based compensation expense for the value of the portion of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. </span><span>FASB ASC Topic 718, </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Compensation &#8211; Stock Compensation</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> allows forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term &#8220;forfeitures&#8221; is distinct from &#8220;cancellations&#8221; or &#8220;expirations&#8221; and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock-based award. We have applied, based on an analysis of our historical forfeitures, a weighted-average annual forfeiture rate of approximately </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>six percent</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to all unvested stock-based awards as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which represents the portion that we expect will be forfeited each year over the vesting period. We re-evaluate this analysis annually or more frequently if there are significant changes in circumstances and adjust the forfeiture rate as necessary. Ultimately, we will only recognize expense for those shares that vest.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span

Our investment policy limits exposure to concentrations of credit risk and changes in market conditions. Counterparties to financial instruments expose us to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance. We transact our financial instruments with a diversified group of major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and actively monitor their credit ratings and our outstanding positions to limit our credit exposure. In the normal course, our payment terms with customers, including hospitals, healthcare agencies, clinics, doctors' offices and other private and governmental institutions, are typically 30 days in the U.S. but may be longer in international markets and generally do not require collateral. We record our accounts receivable in our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated balance sheets</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> at net realizable value. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses, based on historical information and management's best estimates. We write-off amounts determined to be uncollectible against this reserve. Write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable were immaterial in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.

Our European sales to government-owned or supported customers in Southern Europe are subject to an increased number of days outstanding prior to payment relative to other countries. Historically, receivable balances with certain publicly-owned hospitals in these countries accumulated over a period of time and are then subsequently settled as large lump sum payments, sometimes at large discounts. While we believe our allowance for doubtful accounts in these countries is adequate as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, if significant changes were to occur in the payment practices of these European governments or if government funding becomes unavailable, we may not be able to collect on receivables due to us from these customers, and our write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable may increase. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Revenue Recognition</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In May 2014, the FASB issued </span><span>FASB ASC Topic 606, </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Revenue from Contracts with Customers</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">(Topic 606), which was subsequently updated.

We treat shipping and handling costs performed after a customer obtains control of the good as a fulfillment cost and record these costs as a selling expense when incurred. We recognize revenue from consignment arrangements based on product usage, or implant, which indicates that the sale is complete. We recognize a receivable at the point in time we have an unconditional right to payment. Payment terms are typically 30 days in the U.S. but may be longer in international markets.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Deferred Revenue</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We record a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when we have an obligation to provide a product or service to the customer and payment is received or due in advance of our performance. When we sell a device with a future service obligation, we defer revenue on the unfulfilled performance obligation and recognize this revenue over the related service period. Many of our Cardiac Rhythm Management product offerings combine the sale of a device with our LATITUDE&#8482; Patient Management System, which represents a future service obligation. Generally, we do not have observable evidence of the standalone selling price related to our future service obligations; therefore, we estimate the selling price using an expected cost plus a margin approach. We allocate the transaction price using the relative standalone selling price method. The use of alternative estimates could result in a different amount of revenue deferral.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Contract liabilities are classified within </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other current liabilities</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other long-term liabilities</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> on our accompanying </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated balance sheets</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Our contractual liabilities are primarily composed of deferred revenue related to the LATITUDE Patient Management System. Revenue is recognized over the average service period which is based on device and patient longevity. We have elected not to disclose the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations when the original expected contract duration is one year or less. In addition, we have not identified material unfulfilled performance obligations for which revenue is not currently deferred.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Variable Consideration</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We generally allow our customers to return defective, damaged and, in certain cases, expired products for credit. We base our estimate for sales returns upon historical trends and record the amount as a reduction to revenue when we sell the initial product. In addition, we may allow customers to return previously purchased products for next-generation product offerings. For these transactions, we defer recognition of revenue on the sale of the earlier generation product based upon an estimate of the amount of product to be returned when the next-generation products are shipped to the customer. Uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect our estimates related to sales returns and could cause actual returns to differ from these estimates.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We also offer sales rebates and discounts to certain customers. We treat sales rebates and discounts as a reduction of revenue and classify the corresponding liability as current. We estimate rebates for products where there is sufficient historical information available to predict the volume of expected future rebates. If we are unable to reasonably estimate the expected rebates, we record a liability for the maximum rebate percentage offered. We have entered certain agreements with group purchasing organizations to sell our products to participating hospitals at negotiated prices. We recognize revenue from these agreements following the same revenue recognition criteria discussed above.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Capitalized Contract Costs</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We capitalize commission fees related to contracts with customers when the associated revenue is expected to be earned over a period that exceeds one year. Deferred commissions are primarily related to the sale of devices enabled with our LATITUDE&#8482; Patient Management System. We have elected to expense commission costs when incurred for contracts with an expected duration of one year or less. Capitalized commission fees are amortized over the period the associated products or services are transferred. Similarly, we capitalize certain recoverable costs related to the delivery of the LATITUDE Remote Monitoring Service. These fulfillment costs are amortized over the average service period. Our total capitalized contract costs are immaterial to our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated financial statements</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Post-Implant Services</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We provide non-contractual services to customers to ensure the safe and effective use of certain implanted devices. Following our modified retrospective adoption of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">FASB ASC Topic 606</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> on January 1, 2018, because the revenue related to the immaterial services is recognized before they are delivered, we forward accrue the costs to provide these services at the time the devices are sold. We record these costs to</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> Selling, general and administrative expenses</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. We estimate the amount of time spent by our representatives performing these services and their compensation throughout the device life to determine the service cost.&#160;Changes to our business practice or the use of alternative estimates could result in a different amount of accrued cost.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Warranty Obligations</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We offer warranties on certain of our product offerings. The majority of our warranty liability relates to implantable devices offered by our Cardiac Rhythm Management business, which include implantable defibrillator and pacemaker systems. Our Cardiac Rhythm Management products come with a standard limited warranty covering the replacement of these devices. We offer a full warranty for a portion of the period post-implant and a partial warranty for a period of time thereafter. We estimate the costs that we may incur under our warranty programs based on the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim and record a liability equal to these estimated costs as cost of products sold at the time the product sale occurs. We assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities on a quarterly basis and adjust these amounts as necessary. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Inventories</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We state inventories at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or net realizable value. We base our provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory primarily on our estimates of forecasted net sales. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for our products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory in the future.

Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, a product recall or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If we determine it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired based on our qualitative assessment of impairment indicators, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, we group our amortizable intangible assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of the intangible asset or asset group exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the intangible asset or asset group, we will write the carrying value down to fair value in the period impairment is identified. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We calculate fair value of our intangible assets as the present value of estimated future cash flows we expect to generate from the asset.

We test our goodwill balances during the second quarter of each year for impairment or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. For our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> annual impairment assessment, we identified the following reporting units: Interventional Cardiology, Peripheral Interventions (including the Interventional Medicine business acquired with BTG), Cardiac Rhythm Management, Electrophysiology, Endoscopy, Urology and Pelvic Health and Neuromodulation. In addition, following the BTG acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, we added Specialty Pharmaceuticals as an additional reporting unit.

The qualitative assessment was used for testing certain reporting units where fair value has historically exceeded carrying value by greater than 100 percent. All other reporting units were tested using the quantitative approach described below. The qualitative assessment requires an evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount based on an assessment of relevant events including macroeconomic factors, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other entity-specific factors. After assessing the totality of events, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further steps are required. If it is determined that impairment is more likely than not, then we perform the quantitative impairment test. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">When allocating goodwill from business combinations to our reporting units, we assign goodwill to the reporting units that we expect to benefit from the respective business combination at the time of acquisition. In addition, for purposes of performing our goodwill impairment tests, assets and liabilities, including corporate assets, which relate to a reporting unit&#8217;s operations, and would be considered in determining its fair value, are allocated to the individual reporting units.

We selected this method as being the most meaningful in preparing our goodwill assessments because we believe the income approach most appropriately measures our income producing assets. We have considered using the market approach and cost approach but concluded they are not appropriate in valuing our reporting units given the lack of relevant market comparisons available for application of the market approach and the inability to replicate the value of the specific technology-based assets within our reporting units for application of the cost approach. Therefore, we believe that the income approach represents the most appropriate valuation technique for which sufficient data are available to determine the fair value of our reporting units. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In applying the income approach to our accounting for goodwill, we make assumptions about the amount and timing of future expected cash flows, terminal value growth rates and appropriate discount rates. The amount and timing of future cash flows within our Discounted Cash Flow analysis is based on our most recent operational budgets, long range strategic plans and other estimates. The terminal value growth rate reflects our best estimates for stable, perpetual growth of our reporting units.

We adopted Update No. 2016-01 in the first quarter of 2018, using both the modified retrospective and prospective methods. For publicly-held securities, we used the modified retrospective approach.&#160;Unrealized gains and losses previously recorded to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other comprehensive income (loss)</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> were reclassified to retained earnings,</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">and all future fair value changes will be recorded to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Net income (loss)</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. For privately-held securities of investee companies over which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, we elected the measurement alternative approach for our existing investments, which is applied prospectively upon adoption. This approach requires entities to measure their investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.&#160;</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In 2017, we accounted for our publicly traded investments as available-for-sale securities based on the quoted market price at the end of the reporting period.

Examples of such impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, a significant deterioration in earnings performance, recent financing rounds at reduced valuations, a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of an investee or a significant doubt about an investee&#8217;s ability to continue as a going concern. If we identify an impairment indicator, we will estimate the fair value of the investment and compare it to its carrying value. Our estimation of fair value considers financial information related to the investee available to us, including valuations based on recent third-party equity investments in the investee. If the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, the investment is impaired and we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between an investment&#8217;s carrying value and its fair value if accounted for under measurement alternative. For our equity method investments, an impairment loss is recorded if we determine the impairment is other-than-temporary. We deem an impairment to be other-than-temporary unless available evidence indicates that the valuation is more likely than not to recover up to the carrying value of the investment in a reasonable period of time, and we have both the ability and intent to hold the investment for at least the period of time needed to recover the value. For other-than-temporary impairments, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between an investment&#8217;s carrying value and its fair value. Impairment losses on our investments are included in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Other, net </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">in our </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">consolidated statements of operations</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Income Taxes</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In February 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2018-02, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">(Topic 220):</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;The purpose of Update No. 2018-02 is to allow an entity to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) on items within </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax (AOCI)</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to retained earnings.&#160;Update No. 2018-02 is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods.&#160;We adopted Update No. 2018-02 in the first quarter of 2019 and have not elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the TCJA from AOCI to retained earnings.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In October 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2016-16,</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"> Income Taxes</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> (Topic 740): </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. The purpose of Update No. 2016-16 is to allow an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, as opposed to waiting until the asset is sold to a third party, or impaired. Update No. 2016-16 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted Update No. 2016-16 prospectively in the first quarter of 2018 and recognized a net reduction to retained earnings of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$55 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> for income tax consequences not previously recognized for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventories.

Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when we expect the differences to reverse. We reduce our deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that we will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. We consider relevant evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the need for a valuation allowance. Information evaluated includes our financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, the availability of deferred tax liabilities and tax carrybacks, as well as estimates of the impact of future taxable income and available prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies. We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As part of the TCJA, we are subject to a territorial tax system in which we are required to establish an accounting policy in providing for tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. We have elected to treat the impact of GILTI as a period cost and will be reported as a part of continuing operations.

In some cases, the claimants seek damages, as well as other relief, which, if granted, could require significant expenditures or impact our ability to sell our products. We are also the subject of certain governmental investigations, which could result in substantial fines, penalties and administrative remedies. We maintain an insurance policy providing limited coverage against securities claims, and we are substantially self-insured with respect to product liability claims and fully self-insured with respect to intellectual property infringement claims. We accrue anticipated costs of settlement, damages, losses for product liability claims and, under certain conditions, costs of defense, based on historical experience or to the extent specific losses are probable and estimable. Otherwise, we expense these costs as incurred. If the estimate of a probable loss is a range and no amount within the range is more likely, we accrue our best estimate of the minimum amount of the range. We analyze litigation settlements to identify each element of the arrangement. We allocate arrangement consideration to patent licenses received based on estimates of fair value and capitalize these amounts as assets if the license will provide an ongoing future benefit.

Generally, only investments with original maturities of three months or less qualify as cash equivalents by definition. Original maturity means an original maturity to the entity holding the investment. For example, both a three-month US Treasury bill and a three-year Treasury note purchased three months from maturity qualify as cash equivalents. However, a Treasury note purchased three-years ago does not become a cash equivalent when its remaining maturity is three months.</p></div>

These transactions occurred to more closely align the global economic ownership of our intellectual property rights with our current and future business operations. These transactions did not result in a taxable gain in any jurisdiction, </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">however, some of the transactions did create a step-up in the tax-deductible basis in the transferred intellectual property rights in certain jurisdictions. As a result, we recorded deferred tax assets in the amount of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$4.102 billion</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, which represents the book and tax basis differences measured at applicable statutory tax rates, net of a valuation allowance of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$542 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.  </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">After consideration of all positive and negative evidence, we believe that it is more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized.

As a result of settling our various tax audits, the revised amount of transition tax is approximately </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$856 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> as of December 31, 2018 as compared to the preliminary amount recorded of approximately </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$1.044 billion</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> as of December 31, 2017.

The U.K. Plan was closed to new entrants as of June 1, 2004. Prior to the acquisition close date of August&#160;19, 2019, the Trustees of the U.K. Plan executed buy-in arrangements (Buy-in Contracts), which effectively, as structured under the Buy-in Contracts, are intended to provide payments designed to equal all future designated contractual benefit payments to covered participants. The benefit obligation of the pension plan is not transferred to the insurers, and we remain responsible for paying pension benefits. We do not anticipate any additional material contributions or payments to the U.K. Plan or the insurer. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In connection with our preliminary purchase price allocation of BTG, we recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.

The rate of compensation increase is based on historical and expected rate increases. We base our rate of expected return on plan assets on historical experience, our investment guidelines and expectations for long-term rates of return. Our assets are invested in a variety of securities, primarily equity securities and government bonds. These securities are considered Level 1 and Level 2 investments.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For our U.K. Plan, we utilize the insurance buy-in methodology and base our discount rate on a yield curve reflective of the market pricing obtained in the most recent buy-in transaction, which occurred prior to the acquisition of BTG, and movements in market-observed buy-in pricing as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. We believe this is a reasonable proxy for an effective settlement rate of the buy-in assets. The discount rate is calculated as the single equivalent assumption that gives the same value of the liabilities as if the figures were calculated using the full yield curve. We assume that all pension increases will continue to be linked to the Retail Price Inflation (RPI), both before and after retirement, for all members, with the exception of post-88 Guaranteed Minimum Pensions (GMP), which will be based on Consumer Price Inflation (CPI). We base our rate of expected return on plan assets as equal to the discount rate used to value the buy-in assets. The U.K. Plan assets' investment policy is to invest in fully matching assets. This has been achieved through the purchase of two buy-in policies (Buy-in contracts), which provide payments designed to equal all future benefit payments due from the fund. As of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Buy-in contracts represented 99% of the total plan assets, as compared to the target percentage of 100%, and are considered Level 3 investments. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span

When used in this report, the terms "we," "us," "our" and "the Company" mean Boston Scientific Corporation and its divisions and subsidiaries. We assess the terms of our investment interests to determine if any of our investees meet the definition of a variable interest entity (VIE)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;For any VIEs, we perform an analysis to determine whether our variable interests give us a controlling financial interest in a VIE. The analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both 1) the power to direct activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity&#x2019;s economic performance and 2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Based on our assessments under the applicable guidance, we did not have controlling financial interests in any VIEs and, therefore, did not consolidate any VIEs for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Basis of Presentation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and with the instructions to Form 10-K and Regulation&#160;S-X.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Amounts reported in millions within this report are computed based on the amounts in thousands.&#160;As a result, the sum of the components reported in millions may not equal the total amount reported in millions due to rounding.

Our policy is to invest excess cash in short-term marketable securities earning a market rate of interest without assuming undue risk of loss of principal amounts invested and we limit our direct exposure to securities in any one industry or issuer. We consider to be cash equivalents all short-term marketable securities with remaining days to maturity of 90 days or less from the purchase date that can be readily converted to cash.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Restricted Cash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Amounts included in restricted cash represent cash on hand required to be set aside by a contractual agreement related to receivable factoring arrangements and deferred compensation plans and are included in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other current assets &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;caption on our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated balance sheets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Generally, the restrictions related to the factoring arrangements lapse at the time we remit the customer payments collected by us as servicer of previously sold customer receivables to the purchaser. Restrictions for deferred compensation lapse when amounts are paid to the employee. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Restricted Cash Equivalents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Restricted cash equivalents primarily represent amounts paid into various qualified settlement funds related to our ongoing transvaginal surgical mesh litigation and current amounts related to our non-qualified pension plan and are included in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other current assets &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;caption on our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated balance sheets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The restrictions related to the various qualified settlement funds will lapse as we approve amounts payable to claimants, at which time we no longer have rights to a return of the amounts paid into the various qualified settlement funds. Restricted cash equivalents included in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other long-term assets &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;caption on our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated balance sheets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; are related to deferred compensation plans. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Concentrations of Credit Risk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and accounts and notes receivable. Our investment policy limits exposure to concentrations of credit risk and changes in market conditions. Counterparties to financial instruments expose us to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance. We transact our financial instruments with a diversified group of major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and actively monitor their credit ratings and our outstanding positions to limit our credit exposure. In the normal course, our payment terms with customers, including hospitals, healthcare agencies, clinics, doctors' offices and other private and governmental institutions, are typically 30 days in the U.S. but may be longer in international markets and generally do not require collateral. We record our accounts receivable in our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated balance sheets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; at net realizable value. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses, based on historical information and management's best estimates. We write-off amounts determined to be uncollectible against this reserve. Write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable were immaterial in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We are not dependent on any single institution, and no single customer accounted for more than ten percent of our net sales in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;; however, large group purchasing organizations, hospital networks, international distributors and dealers and other buying groups have become increasingly important to our business and represent a substantial portion of our net sales.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We closely monitor outstanding receivables for potential collection risks, including those that may arise from economic conditions, in both the U.S. and international economies. Our European sales to government-owned or supported customers in Southern Europe are subject to an increased number of days outstanding prior to payment relative to other countries. Historically, receivable balances with certain publicly-owned hospitals in these countries accumulated over a period of time and are then subsequently settled as large lump sum payments, sometimes at large discounts. While we believe our allowance for doubtful accounts in these countries is adequate as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, if significant changes were to occur in the payment practices of these European governments or if government funding becomes unavailable, we may not be able to collect on receivables due to us from these customers, and our write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable may increase. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In May 2014, the FASB issued &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 606, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue from Contracts with Customers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;(Topic 606), which was subsequently updated. We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, we applied &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 606&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to contracts that were not complete as of January 1, 2018 and recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 606&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Prior period amounts are not adjusted and are reported in accordance with legacy GAAP requirements in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 605, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Due to the adoption of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 606&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, we recorded a net reduction to retained earnings of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$177 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on January 1, 2018, primarily related to the cost of providing non-contractual post-implant support to certain customers, which we historically deemed immaterial in the context of the arrangement. Upon the adoption of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 606&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, when we sell a device with an implied non-contractual post-implant support obligation, we forward accrue the cost of the service within&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; Selling, general and administrative expenses &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;and recognize it at the point in time the associated revenue is earned. We release the accrual over the related service period. These costs were previously expensed as incurred due to such service obligation being non-contractual. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The impact of adopting &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 606&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated balance sheets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; resulted in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;an increase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other current liabilities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$59 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;an increase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other long-term liabilities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$205 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of December&#160;31, 2018, as a result of accruing for our post-implant support obligation. We also recorded deferred tax assets primarily related to post-implant support, resulting in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;an increase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other long-term assets &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$12 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;a reduction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Deferred income taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$41 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of December&#160;31, 2018. The remaining impact of adopting &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 606&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; was not material to our financial position or results of operations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We sell our products primarily through a direct sales force. In certain international markets, we sell our products through independent distributors or dealers. We consider revenue to be earned when all of the following criteria are met:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:48px;"/&gt;&lt;td/&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We have a contract with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:48px;"/&gt;&lt;td/&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Promised products or services are identified,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:48px;"/&gt;&lt;td/&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The transaction price, or the amount we expect to receive, is determinable and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:48px;"/&gt;&lt;td/&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We have transferred control of the promised items to the customer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Transfer of control is evidenced upon passage of title and risk of loss to the customer unless we are required to provide additional services. We treat shipping and handling costs performed after a customer obtains control of the good as a fulfillment cost and record these costs as a selling expense when incurred. We recognize revenue from consignment arrangements based on product usage, or implant, which indicates that the sale is complete. We recognize a receivable at the point in time we have an unconditional right to payment. Payment terms are typically 30 days in the U.S. but may be longer in international markets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Deferred Revenue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We record a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when we have an obligation to provide a product or service to the customer and payment is received or due in advance of our performance. When we sell a device with a future service obligation, we defer revenue on the unfulfilled performance obligation and recognize this revenue over the related service period. Many of our Cardiac Rhythm Management product offerings combine the sale of a device with our LATITUDE&#x2122; Patient Management System, which represents a future service obligation. Generally, we do not have observable evidence of the standalone selling price related to our future service obligations; therefore, we estimate the selling price using an expected cost plus a margin approach. We allocate the transaction price using the relative standalone selling price method. The use of alternative estimates could result in a different amount of revenue deferral.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Contract liabilities are classified within &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other current liabilities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other long-term liabilities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on our accompanying &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated balance sheets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Our contractual liabilities are primarily composed of deferred revenue related to the LATITUDE Patient Management System. Revenue is recognized over the average service period which is based on device and patient longevity. We have elected not to disclose the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations when the original expected contract duration is one year or less. In addition, we have not identified material unfulfilled performance obligations for which revenue is not currently deferred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Variable Consideration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We generally allow our customers to return defective, damaged and, in certain cases, expired products for credit. We base our estimate for sales returns upon historical trends and record the amount as a reduction to revenue when we sell the initial product. In addition, we may allow customers to return previously purchased products for next-generation product offerings. For these transactions, we defer recognition of revenue on the sale of the earlier generation product based upon an estimate of the amount of product to be returned when the next-generation products are shipped to the customer. Uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect our estimates related to sales returns and could cause actual returns to differ from these estimates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We also offer sales rebates and discounts to certain customers. We treat sales rebates and discounts as a reduction of revenue and classify the corresponding liability as current. We estimate rebates for products where there is sufficient historical information available to predict the volume of expected future rebates. If we are unable to reasonably estimate the expected rebates, we record a liability for the maximum rebate percentage offered. We have entered certain agreements with group purchasing organizations to sell our products to participating hospitals at negotiated prices. We recognize revenue from these agreements following the same revenue recognition criteria discussed above.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Capitalized Contract Costs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We capitalize commission fees related to contracts with customers when the associated revenue is expected to be earned over a period that exceeds one year. Deferred commissions are primarily related to the sale of devices enabled with our LATITUDE&#x2122; Patient Management System. We have elected to expense commission costs when incurred for contracts with an expected duration of one year or less. Capitalized commission fees are amortized over the period the associated products or services are transferred. Similarly, we capitalize certain recoverable costs related to the delivery of the LATITUDE Remote Monitoring Service. These fulfillment costs are amortized over the average service period. Our total capitalized contract costs are immaterial to our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated financial statements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Post-Implant Services&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We provide non-contractual services to customers to ensure the safe and effective use of certain implanted devices. Following our modified retrospective adoption of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 606&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on January 1, 2018, because the revenue related to the immaterial services is recognized before they are delivered, we forward accrue the costs to provide these services at the time the devices are sold. We record these costs to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; Selling, general and administrative expenses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We estimate the amount of time spent by our representatives performing these services and their compensation throughout the device life to determine the service cost.&#160;Changes to our business practice or the use of alternative estimates could result in a different amount of accrued cost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Warranty Obligations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We offer warranties on certain of our product offerings. The majority of our warranty liability relates to implantable devices offered by our Cardiac Rhythm Management business, which include implantable defibrillator and pacemaker systems. Our Cardiac Rhythm Management products come with a standard limited warranty covering the replacement of these devices. We offer a full warranty for a portion of the period post-implant and a partial warranty for a period of time thereafter. We estimate the costs that we may incur under our warranty programs based on the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim and record a liability equal to these estimated costs as cost of products sold at the time the product sale occurs. We assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities on a quarterly basis and adjust these amounts as necessary. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Inventories&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We state inventories at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or net realizable value. We base our provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory primarily on our estimates of forecasted net sales. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for our products as compared to forecasted amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess, expired and obsolete inventory in the future. Further, the industry in which we participate is characterized by rapid product development and frequent new product introductions. Uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect our estimates related to excess, expired and obsolete inventory. Approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;32 percent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of our finished goods inventory as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;40 percent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of December 31, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; was at customer locations pursuant to consignment arrangements or held by sales representatives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Property, Plant and Equipment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We state property, plant, equipment and leasehold improvements at historical cost. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to expense and capitalize additions and improvements that extend the life of the underlying asset. We provide for depreciation using the straight-line method at rates that approximate the estimated useful lives of the assets. We depreciate buildings over a maximum life of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;40&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#160;years; building improvements over the remaining useful life of the building structure; equipment, furniture and fixtures over a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;three&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;seven&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; year life; and leasehold improvements over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the term of the related lease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Leases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2016-02, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Leases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 842, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Leases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;). We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach and the transition method provided by ASC Update No. 2018-11, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Leases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;(Topic 842): Targeted Improvements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Under this method, we applied the new leasing rules on the date of adoption and recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to our January 1, 2019 opening balance sheet, rather than at the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Prior periods presented are in accordance with the previous lease guidance under &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 840, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Leases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 840&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In addition, we applied the package of practical expedients permitted under &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 842&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; transition guidance to our entire lease portfolio at January 1, 2019. As a result, we were not required to reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the classification of any expired or existing leases and (iii) the treatment of initial direct costs for any existing leases. Furthermore, we elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our leases. Instead, for all applicable classes of underlying assets, we accounted for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component, as a single lease component.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As a result of adopting &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 842&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on January 1, 2019, we recognized right-of-use assets of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$271 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and corresponding liabilities of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$278 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for our existing operating lease portfolio on our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated balance sheet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

In addition, we designed and implemented new processes and internal controls during the first quarter of 2019 to ensure the completeness and accuracy of the transition adjustment and subsequent financial reporting under &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 842&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We have also established monitoring controls to ensure we have appropriate mechanisms in place to identify material leases in a timely manner, particularly contracts that may contain embedded lease features.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Valuation of Business Combinations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We allocate the amounts we pay for each acquisition to the assets we acquire and liabilities we assume based on their fair values at the date of acquisition, including identifiable intangible assets and in-process research and development (IPR&amp;amp;D), which either arise from a contractual or legal right or are separable from goodwill. We base the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination, including IPR&amp;amp;D, on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management, which consider management&#x2019;s best estimates of inputs and assumptions that a market participant would use. We allocate to goodwill any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions are expensed as incurred through &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Selling, general and administrative expenses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In those circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement, we recognize a liability equal to the fair value of the contingent payments we expect to make as of the acquisition date. We re-measure this liability each reporting period and record changes in the fair value through &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Contingent consideration expense (benefit)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated statements of operations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability can result from changes in discount rates, periods, timing and amount of projected revenue or timing or likelihood of achieving regulatory, revenue or commercialization-based milestones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; Payment of additional consideration is generally contingent on the acquired company reaching certain performance milestones after the acquisition date, including attaining specified revenue levels, achieving product development targets and/or obtaining regulatory approvals for products in development at the date of the acquisition.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Indefinite-lived Intangibles, including IPR&amp;amp;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Our indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are not subject to amortization, include acquired balloon and other technology, which is foundational to our ongoing operations within the Cardiovascular market and other markets within interventional medicine and IPR&amp;amp;D intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Our IPR&amp;amp;D represents intangible assets that are used in research and development activities but have not yet reached technological feasibility, regardless of whether they have alternative future use. The primary basis for determining the technological feasibility or completion of these projects is obtaining regulatory approval to market the underlying products in an applicable geographic region. We classify IPR&amp;amp;D as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Upon completion of the associated research and development efforts, we will determine the useful life of the technology and begin amortizing the assets to reflect their use over their remaining lives. Upon permanent abandonment, we write-off the remaining carrying amount of the associated IPR&amp;amp;D intangible asset. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We test our indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually during the third quarter for impairment and reassess their classification as indefinite-lived assets. In addition, we review our indefinite-lived intangible assets for classification and impairment more frequently if impairment indicators exist. We assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that our indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, we then determine the fair value of the intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying value in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 350, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Intangibles - Goodwill and Other&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset, we write the carrying value down to the fair value.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We use the income approach to determine the fair values of our IPR&amp;amp;D. We base our revenue assumptions on estimates of relevant market sizes, expected market growth rates, expected trends in technology and expected levels of market share. In arriving at the value of the in-process projects, we consider, among other factors, the in-process projects&#x2019; stage of completion, the complexity of the work completed as of the acquisition date, the costs already incurred, the projected costs to complete, the contribution of other acquired assets, the expected regulatory path and introduction dates by region and the estimated useful life of the technology.

We use a straight-line method of amortization, unless a method that better reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up can be reliably determined. The approximate useful lives for amortization of our intangible assets are as follows: patents and licenses, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;two&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;20&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#160;years; amortizable technology-related and customer relationships, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;five&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;25&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#160;years; other intangible assets, various.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We review intangible assets subject to amortization quarterly to determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful life. Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, a product recall or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If we determine it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired based on our qualitative assessment of impairment indicators, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, we group our amortizable intangible assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of the intangible asset or asset group exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the intangible asset or asset group, we will write the carrying value down to fair value in the period impairment is identified. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We calculate fair value of our intangible assets as the present value of estimated future cash flows we expect to generate from the asset. In determining our estimated future cash flows associated with our intangible assets, we use estimates and assumptions about future revenue contributions, cost structures and remaining useful lives of the asset or asset group. See &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Note C &#x2013; Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for more information related to impairments of intangible assets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;For patents developed internally, we capitalize costs incurred to obtain patents, including attorney fees, registration fees, consulting fees and other expenditures directly related to securing the patent. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Goodwill Valuation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We allocate any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination to goodwill. We test our goodwill balances during the second quarter of each year for impairment or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. For our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; annual impairment assessment, we identified the following reporting units: Interventional Cardiology, Peripheral Interventions (including the Interventional Medicine business acquired with BTG), Cardiac Rhythm Management, Electrophysiology, Endoscopy, Urology and Pelvic Health and Neuromodulation. In addition, following the BTG acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, we added Specialty Pharmaceuticals as an additional reporting unit. We aggregated the Cardiac Rhythm Management and Electrophysiology reporting units, components of the Rhythm Management operating segment, based on the criteria prescribed in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 350&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In performing the goodwill impairment assessments for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, we utilized both the optional qualitative assessment and the quantitative approach prescribed under &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 350&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The qualitative assessment was used for testing certain reporting units where fair value has historically exceeded carrying value by greater than 100 percent. All other reporting units were tested using the quantitative approach described below. The qualitative assessment requires an evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount based on an assessment of relevant events including macroeconomic factors, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other entity-specific factors. After assessing the totality of events, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further steps are required. If it is determined that impairment is more likely than not, then we perform the quantitative impairment test. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;When allocating goodwill from business combinations to our reporting units, we assign goodwill to the reporting units that we expect to benefit from the respective business combination at the time of acquisition. In addition, for purposes of performing our goodwill impairment tests, assets and liabilities, including corporate assets, which relate to a reporting unit&#x2019;s operations, and would be considered in determining its fair value, are allocated to the individual reporting units. We allocate assets and liabilities not directly related to a specific reporting unit, but from which the reporting unit benefits, based primarily on the respective revenue contribution of each reporting unit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;For our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; annual impairment assessments, for those reporting units for which a quantitative test was performed, we used only the income approach, specifically the Discounted Cash Flow&#160;method, to derive the fair value of each of our reporting units in preparing our goodwill impairment assessments. We selected this method as being the most meaningful in preparing our goodwill assessments because we believe the income approach most appropriately measures our income producing assets. We have considered using the market approach and cost approach but concluded they are not appropriate in valuing our reporting units given the lack of relevant market comparisons available for application of the market approach and the inability to replicate the value of the specific technology-based assets within our reporting units for application of the cost approach. Therefore, we believe that the income approach represents the most appropriate valuation technique for which sufficient data are available to determine the fair value of our reporting units. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In applying the income approach to our accounting for goodwill, we make assumptions about the amount and timing of future expected cash flows, terminal value growth rates and appropriate discount rates. The amount and timing of future cash flows within our Discounted Cash Flow analysis is based on our most recent operational budgets, long range strategic plans and other estimates. The terminal value growth rate reflects our best estimates for stable, perpetual growth of our reporting units. We use estimates of market-participant risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital as a basis for determining the discount rates to apply to our reporting units&#x2019; future expected cash flows. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Refer to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Note C &#x2013; Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated financial statements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for additional details related to our goodwill balances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Investments in Publicly Traded and Privately Held Entities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In January 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2016-01, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Financial Instruments - Overall &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;(Subtopic 825-10)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The purpose of Update No. 2016-01 is to improve financial reporting for financial instruments by reducing the number of items recorded to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other Comprehensive Income&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We adopted Update No. 2016-01 in the first quarter of 2018, using both the modified retrospective and prospective methods. For publicly-held securities, we used the modified retrospective approach.&#160;Unrealized gains and losses previously recorded to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other comprehensive income (loss)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; were reclassified to retained earnings,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;and all future fair value changes will be recorded to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Net income (loss)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. For privately-held securities of investee companies over which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, we elected the measurement alternative approach for our existing investments, which is applied prospectively upon adoption. This approach requires entities to measure their investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2017, we accounted for our publicly traded investments as available-for-sale securities based on the quoted market price at the end of the reporting period. Unrealized holding gains or losses during the period, net of tax, were recorded to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We computed realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities at fair value, adjusted for any other-than-temporary declines in fair value. We accounted for investments in privately-held entities in which we had less than a 20&#160;percent ownership interest under the cost method of accounting if we did not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 325&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Investments - Other&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We account for investments in entities over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method if we hold 50&#160;percent or less of the voting stock and the entity is not a VIE in which we are the primary beneficiary in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 323, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We record these investments initially at cost and adjust the carrying amount to reflect our share of the earnings or losses of the investee, including all adjustments similar to those made in preparing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated financial statements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Lastly, we have notes receivable from certain companies that we account for in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 320&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Refer to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Note B &#x2013; Acquisitions and Strategic Investments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for additional details on our investment balances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Each reporting period, we evaluate our investments to determine if there are any events or circumstances that are likely to have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. Examples of such impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, a significant deterioration in earnings performance, recent financing rounds at reduced valuations, a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of an investee or a significant doubt about an investee&#x2019;s ability to continue as a going concern. If we identify an impairment indicator, we will estimate the fair value of the investment and compare it to its carrying value. Our estimation of fair value considers financial information related to the investee available to us, including valuations based on recent third-party equity investments in the investee. If the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, the investment is impaired and we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between an investment&#x2019;s carrying value and its fair value if accounted for under measurement alternative. For our equity method investments, an impairment loss is recorded if we determine the impairment is other-than-temporary. We deem an impairment to be other-than-temporary unless available evidence indicates that the valuation is more likely than not to recover up to the carrying value of the investment in a reasonable period of time, and we have both the ability and intent to hold the investment for at least the period of time needed to recover the value. For other-than-temporary impairments, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between an investment&#x2019;s carrying value and its fair value. Impairment losses on our investments are included in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other, net &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;in our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated statements of operations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Income Taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In February 2018, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2018-02, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;(Topic 220):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#160;The purpose of Update No. 2018-02 is to allow an entity to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) on items within &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax (AOCI)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to retained earnings.&#160;Update No. 2018-02 is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods.&#160;We adopted Update No. 2018-02 in the first quarter of 2019 and have not elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the TCJA from AOCI to retained earnings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In October 2016, the FASB issued ASC Update No. 2016-16,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; Income Taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; (Topic 740): &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The purpose of Update No. 2016-16 is to allow an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, as opposed to waiting until the asset is sold to a third party, or impaired. Update No. 2016-16 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted Update No. 2016-16 prospectively in the first quarter of 2018 and recognized a net reduction to retained earnings of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$55 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for income tax consequences not previously recognized for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventories. All future income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventories will be recognized through &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Income tax expense (benefit)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when we expect the differences to reverse. We reduce our deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that we will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. We consider relevant evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the need for a valuation allowance. Information evaluated includes our financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, the availability of deferred tax liabilities and tax carrybacks, as well as estimates of the impact of future taxable income and available prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies. We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As part of the TCJA, we are subject to a territorial tax system in which we are required to establish an accounting policy in providing for tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. We have elected to treat the impact of GILTI as a period cost and will be reported as a part of continuing operations. See &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Note I &#x2013; Income Taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for further information and discussion of our income tax provision and balances including a discussion of the impacts of the TCJA.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Legal and Product Liability Costs &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In the normal course of business, we are involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings, including intellectual property, breach of contract, securities litigation and product liability suits. In some cases, the claimants seek damages, as well as other relief, which, if granted, could require significant expenditures or impact our ability to sell our products. We are also the subject of certain governmental investigations, which could result in substantial fines, penalties and administrative remedies. We maintain an insurance policy providing limited coverage against securities claims, and we are substantially self-insured with respect to product liability claims and fully self-insured with respect to intellectual property infringement claims. We accrue anticipated costs of settlement, damages, losses for product liability claims and, under certain conditions, costs of defense, based on historical experience or to the extent specific losses are probable and estimable. Otherwise, we expense these costs as incurred. If the estimate of a probable loss is a range and no amount within the range is more likely, we accrue our best estimate of the minimum amount of the range. We analyze litigation settlements to identify each element of the arrangement. We allocate arrangement consideration to patent licenses received based on estimates of fair value and capitalize these amounts as assets if the license will provide an ongoing future benefit. We record certain legal and product liability charges, credits and costs of defense, which we consider to be unusual or infrequent and significant as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Litigation-related charges (credits)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated statements of operations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;; all other legal and product liability charges, credits and costs are recorded within &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Selling, general and administrative expenses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

We accrue employee termination costs associated with an ongoing benefit arrangement if the obligation is attributable to prior services rendered, the rights to the benefits have vested, the payment is probable and we can reasonably estimate the liability. We account for involuntary employee termination benefits that represent a one-time benefit in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ASC Topic 420&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Exit or Disposal Cost Obligation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies for, and has been designated as part of a hedging relationship, as well as on the type of hedging relationship. Our derivative instruments do not subject our earnings to material risk, as gains and losses on these derivatives generally offset gains and losses on the item being hedged, and we do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.

When used in this report, the terms "we," "us," "our" and "the Company" mean Boston Scientific Corporation and its divisions and subsidiaries. We assess the terms of our investment interests to determine if any of our investees meet the definition of a variable interest entity (VIE)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;For any VIEs, we perform an analysis to determine whether our variable interests give us a controlling financial interest in a VIE. The analysis identifies the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise that has both 1) the power to direct activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity&#x2019;s economic performance and 2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity.

Our investment policy limits exposure to concentrations of credit risk and changes in market conditions. Counterparties to financial instruments expose us to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance. We transact our financial instruments with a diversified group of major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and actively monitor their credit ratings and our outstanding positions to limit our credit exposure. In the normal course, our payment terms with customers, including hospitals, healthcare agencies, clinics, doctors' offices and other private and governmental institutions, are typically 30 days in the U.S. but may be longer in international markets and generally do not require collateral. We record our accounts receivable in our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated balance sheets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; at net realizable value. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain allowances for potential credit losses, based on historical information and management's best estimates. We write-off amounts determined to be uncollectible against this reserve. Write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable were immaterial in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We are not dependent on any single institution, and no single customer accounted for more than ten percent of our net sales in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;; however, large group purchasing organizations, hospital networks, international distributors and dealers and other buying groups have become increasingly important to our business and represent a substantial portion of our net sales.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We closely monitor outstanding receivables for potential collection risks, including those that may arise from economic conditions, in both the U.S. and international economies. Our European sales to government-owned or supported customers in Southern Europe are subject to an increased number of days outstanding prior to payment relative to other countries. Historically, receivable balances with certain publicly-owned hospitals in these countries accumulated over a period of time and are then subsequently settled as large lump sum payments, sometimes at large discounts. While we believe our allowance for doubtful accounts in these countries is adequate as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, if significant changes were to occur in the payment practices of these European governments or if government funding becomes unavailable, we may not be able to collect on receivables due to us from these customers, and our write-offs of uncollectible accounts receivable may increase. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:ConcentrationRiskDisclosureTextBlock>

We treat shipping and handling costs performed after a customer obtains control of the good as a fulfillment cost and record these costs as a selling expense when incurred. We recognize revenue from consignment arrangements based on product usage, or implant, which indicates that the sale is complete. We recognize a receivable at the point in time we have an unconditional right to payment. Payment terms are typically 30 days in the U.S. but may be longer in international markets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Deferred Revenue&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We record a contract liability, or deferred revenue, when we have an obligation to provide a product or service to the customer and payment is received or due in advance of our performance. When we sell a device with a future service obligation, we defer revenue on the unfulfilled performance obligation and recognize this revenue over the related service period. Many of our Cardiac Rhythm Management product offerings combine the sale of a device with our LATITUDE&#x2122; Patient Management System, which represents a future service obligation. Generally, we do not have observable evidence of the standalone selling price related to our future service obligations; therefore, we estimate the selling price using an expected cost plus a margin approach. We allocate the transaction price using the relative standalone selling price method. The use of alternative estimates could result in a different amount of revenue deferral.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Contract liabilities are classified within &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other current liabilities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other long-term liabilities&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on our accompanying &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated balance sheets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Our contractual liabilities are primarily composed of deferred revenue related to the LATITUDE Patient Management System. Revenue is recognized over the average service period which is based on device and patient longevity. We have elected not to disclose the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations when the original expected contract duration is one year or less. In addition, we have not identified material unfulfilled performance obligations for which revenue is not currently deferred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Variable Consideration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We generally allow our customers to return defective, damaged and, in certain cases, expired products for credit. We base our estimate for sales returns upon historical trends and record the amount as a reduction to revenue when we sell the initial product. In addition, we may allow customers to return previously purchased products for next-generation product offerings. For these transactions, we defer recognition of revenue on the sale of the earlier generation product based upon an estimate of the amount of product to be returned when the next-generation products are shipped to the customer. Uncertain timing of next-generation product approvals, variability in product launch strategies, product recalls and variation in product utilization all affect our estimates related to sales returns and could cause actual returns to differ from these estimates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We also offer sales rebates and discounts to certain customers. We treat sales rebates and discounts as a reduction of revenue and classify the corresponding liability as current. We estimate rebates for products where there is sufficient historical information available to predict the volume of expected future rebates. If we are unable to reasonably estimate the expected rebates, we record a liability for the maximum rebate percentage offered. We have entered certain agreements with group purchasing organizations to sell our products to participating hospitals at negotiated prices. We recognize revenue from these agreements following the same revenue recognition criteria discussed above.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Capitalized Contract Costs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We capitalize commission fees related to contracts with customers when the associated revenue is expected to be earned over a period that exceeds one year. Deferred commissions are primarily related to the sale of devices enabled with our LATITUDE&#x2122; Patient Management System. We have elected to expense commission costs when incurred for contracts with an expected duration of one year or less. Capitalized commission fees are amortized over the period the associated products or services are transferred. Similarly, we capitalize certain recoverable costs related to the delivery of the LATITUDE Remote Monitoring Service. These fulfillment costs are amortized over the average service period. Our total capitalized contract costs are immaterial to our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated financial statements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:24px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Post-Implant Services&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We provide non-contractual services to customers to ensure the safe and effective use of certain implanted devices. Following our modified retrospective adoption of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 606&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on January 1, 2018, because the revenue related to the immaterial services is recognized before they are delivered, we forward accrue the costs to provide these services at the time the devices are sold. We record these costs to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; Selling, general and administrative expenses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We estimate the amount of time spent by our representatives performing these services and their compensation throughout the device life to determine the service cost.&#160;Changes to our business practice or the use of alternative estimates could result in a different amount of accrued cost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:RevenueRecognitionPolicyTextBlock>

Our Cardiac Rhythm Management products come with a standard limited warranty covering the replacement of these devices. We offer a full warranty for a portion of the period post-implant and a partial warranty for a period of time thereafter. We estimate the costs that we may incur under our warranty programs based on the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim and record a liability equal to these estimated costs as cost of products sold at the time the product sale occurs. We assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities on a quarterly basis and adjust these amounts as necessary. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:ProductWarrantyDisclosureTextBlock>

We adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach and the transition method provided by ASC Update No. 2018-11, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Leases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;(Topic 842): Targeted Improvements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

As a result, we were not required to reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the classification of any expired or existing leases and (iii) the treatment of initial direct costs for any existing leases. Furthermore, we elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our leases.

Our IPR&amp;amp;D represents intangible assets that are used in research and development activities but have not yet reached technological feasibility, regardless of whether they have alternative future use. The primary basis for determining the technological feasibility or completion of these projects is obtaining regulatory approval to market the underlying products in an applicable geographic region. We classify IPR&amp;amp;D as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Upon completion of the associated research and development efforts, we will determine the useful life of the technology and begin amortizing the assets to reflect their use over their remaining lives. Upon permanent abandonment, we write-off the remaining carrying amount of the associated IPR&amp;amp;D intangible asset. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We test our indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually during the third quarter for impairment and reassess their classification as indefinite-lived assets. In addition, we review our indefinite-lived intangible assets for classification and impairment more frequently if impairment indicators exist. We assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that our indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, we then determine the fair value of the intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying value in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 350, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Intangibles - Goodwill and Other&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;If the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset, we write the carrying value down to the fair value.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We use the income approach to determine the fair values of our IPR&amp;amp;D. We base our revenue assumptions on estimates of relevant market sizes, expected market growth rates, expected trends in technology and expected levels of market share. In arriving at the value of the in-process projects, we consider, among other factors, the in-process projects&#x2019; stage of completion, the complexity of the work completed as of the acquisition date, the costs already incurred, the projected costs to complete, the contribution of other acquired assets, the expected regulatory path and introduction dates by region and the estimated useful life of the technology.

We use a straight-line method of amortization, unless a method that better reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed or otherwise used up can be reliably determined.

Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, a product recall or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If we determine it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired based on our qualitative assessment of impairment indicators, we test the intangible asset for recoverability. For purposes of the recoverability test, we group our amortizable intangible assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level of identifiable cash flows if the intangible asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets and liabilities. If the carrying value of the intangible asset or asset group exceeds the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the intangible asset or asset group, we will write the carrying value down to fair value in the period impairment is identified. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We calculate fair value of our intangible assets as the present value of estimated future cash flows we expect to generate from the asset.

We test our goodwill balances during the second quarter of each year for impairment or more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. We assess goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. For our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; annual impairment assessment, we identified the following reporting units: Interventional Cardiology, Peripheral Interventions (including the Interventional Medicine business acquired with BTG), Cardiac Rhythm Management, Electrophysiology, Endoscopy, Urology and Pelvic Health and Neuromodulation. In addition, following the BTG acquisition in the third quarter of 2019, we added Specialty Pharmaceuticals as an additional reporting unit. We aggregated the Cardiac Rhythm Management and Electrophysiology reporting units, components of the Rhythm Management operating segment, based on the criteria prescribed in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 350&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In performing the goodwill impairment assessments for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, we utilized both the optional qualitative assessment and the quantitative approach prescribed under &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 350&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The qualitative assessment was used for testing certain reporting units where fair value has historically exceeded carrying value by greater than 100 percent. All other reporting units were tested using the quantitative approach described below. The qualitative assessment requires an evaluation of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount based on an assessment of relevant events including macroeconomic factors, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other entity-specific factors. After assessing the totality of events, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further steps are required. If it is determined that impairment is more likely than not, then we perform the quantitative impairment test. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;When allocating goodwill from business combinations to our reporting units, we assign goodwill to the reporting units that we expect to benefit from the respective business combination at the time of acquisition. In addition, for purposes of performing our goodwill impairment tests, assets and liabilities, including corporate assets, which relate to a reporting unit&#x2019;s operations, and would be considered in determining its fair value, are allocated to the individual reporting units. We allocate assets and liabilities not directly related to a specific reporting unit, but from which the reporting unit benefits, based primarily on the respective revenue contribution of each reporting unit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;For our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; annual impairment assessments, for those reporting units for which a quantitative test was performed, we used only the income approach, specifically the Discounted Cash Flow&#160;method, to derive the fair value of each of our reporting units in preparing our goodwill impairment assessments. We selected this method as being the most meaningful in preparing our goodwill assessments because we believe the income approach most appropriately measures our income producing assets. We have considered using the market approach and cost approach but concluded they are not appropriate in valuing our reporting units given the lack of relevant market comparisons available for application of the market approach and the inability to replicate the value of the specific technology-based assets within our reporting units for application of the cost approach. Therefore, we believe that the income approach represents the most appropriate valuation technique for which sufficient data are available to determine the fair value of our reporting units. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In applying the income approach to our accounting for goodwill, we make assumptions about the amount and timing of future expected cash flows, terminal value growth rates and appropriate discount rates. The amount and timing of future cash flows within our Discounted Cash Flow analysis is based on our most recent operational budgets, long range strategic plans and other estimates. The terminal value growth rate reflects our best estimates for stable, perpetual growth of our reporting units. We use estimates of market-participant risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital as a basis for determining the discount rates to apply to our reporting units&#x2019; future expected cash flows. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Refer to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Note C &#x2013; Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated financial statements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for additional details related to our goodwill balances.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:GoodwillAndIntangibleAssetsGoodwillPolicy>

We adopted Update No. 2016-01 in the first quarter of 2018, using both the modified retrospective and prospective methods. For publicly-held securities, we used the modified retrospective approach.&#160;Unrealized gains and losses previously recorded to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other comprehensive income (loss)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; were reclassified to retained earnings,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;and all future fair value changes will be recorded to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Net income (loss)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. For privately-held securities of investee companies over which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence, we elected the measurement alternative approach for our existing investments, which is applied prospectively upon adoption. This approach requires entities to measure their investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2017, we accounted for our publicly traded investments as available-for-sale securities based on the quoted market price at the end of the reporting period. Unrealized holding gains or losses during the period, net of tax, were recorded to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We computed realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities at fair value, adjusted for any other-than-temporary declines in fair value. We accounted for investments in privately-held entities in which we had less than a 20&#160;percent ownership interest under the cost method of accounting if we did not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 325&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Investments - Other&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We account for investments in entities over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence under the equity method if we hold 50&#160;percent or less of the voting stock and the entity is not a VIE in which we are the primary beneficiary in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 323, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We record these investments initially at cost and adjust the carrying amount to reflect our share of the earnings or losses of the investee, including all adjustments similar to those made in preparing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated financial statements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

Examples of such impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, a significant deterioration in earnings performance, recent financing rounds at reduced valuations, a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of an investee or a significant doubt about an investee&#x2019;s ability to continue as a going concern. If we identify an impairment indicator, we will estimate the fair value of the investment and compare it to its carrying value. Our estimation of fair value considers financial information related to the investee available to us, including valuations based on recent third-party equity investments in the investee. If the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, the investment is impaired and we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between an investment&#x2019;s carrying value and its fair value if accounted for under measurement alternative. For our equity method investments, an impairment loss is recorded if we determine the impairment is other-than-temporary. We deem an impairment to be other-than-temporary unless available evidence indicates that the valuation is more likely than not to recover up to the carrying value of the investment in a reasonable period of time, and we have both the ability and intent to hold the investment for at least the period of time needed to recover the value. For other-than-temporary impairments, we recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between an investment&#x2019;s carrying value and its fair value. Impairment losses on our investments are included in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other, net &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;in our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated statements of operations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:EquityAndCostMethodInvestmentsPolicy>

The purpose of Update No. 2016-16 is to allow an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, as opposed to waiting until the asset is sold to a third party, or impaired. Update No. 2016-16 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted Update No. 2016-16 prospectively in the first quarter of 2018 and recognized a net reduction to retained earnings of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$55 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for income tax consequences not previously recognized for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventories.

Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when we expect the differences to reverse. We reduce our deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that we will not realize some portion or all of the deferred tax assets. We consider relevant evidence, both positive and negative, to determine the need for a valuation allowance. Information evaluated includes our financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, the availability of deferred tax liabilities and tax carrybacks, as well as estimates of the impact of future taxable income and available prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies. We recognize interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense. As part of the TCJA, we are subject to a territorial tax system in which we are required to establish an accounting policy in providing for tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. We have elected to treat the impact of GILTI as a period cost and will be reported as a part of continuing operations.

In some cases, the claimants seek damages, as well as other relief, which, if granted, could require significant expenditures or impact our ability to sell our products. We are also the subject of certain governmental investigations, which could result in substantial fines, penalties and administrative remedies. We maintain an insurance policy providing limited coverage against securities claims, and we are substantially self-insured with respect to product liability claims and fully self-insured with respect to intellectual property infringement claims. We accrue anticipated costs of settlement, damages, losses for product liability claims and, under certain conditions, costs of defense, based on historical experience or to the extent specific losses are probable and estimable. Otherwise, we expense these costs as incurred. If the estimate of a probable loss is a range and no amount within the range is more likely, we accrue our best estimate of the minimum amount of the range. We analyze litigation settlements to identify each element of the arrangement. We allocate arrangement consideration to patent licenses received based on estimates of fair value and capitalize these amounts as assets if the license will provide an ongoing future benefit.

BTG had three key portfolios, the largest of which is its interventional medicine portfolio (Interventional Medicine) that encompasses interventional oncology therapeutic technologies for patients with liver and kidney cancers, as well as a vascular portfolio for treatment of deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, deep venous obstruction and superficial venous disease. Following the closing of the acquisition, we began to integrate BTG's Interventional Medicine business into our Peripheral Interventions division. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In addition to the Interventional Medicine product lines, the BTG portfolio also included a specialty pharmaceutical business (Specialty Pharmaceuticals) comprised of acute care antidotes to treat overexposure to certain medications and toxins and a licensing portfolio (Licensing arrangements) that generates net royalties related to BTG intellectual property and product license agreements. In connection with the acquisition, we acquired rights to future royalties associated with the Zytiga&#x2122; drug used to treat certain forms of prostate cancer. In the fourth quarter of 2019, we sold our rights to these royalties for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$256 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in cash, included in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Proceeds from royalty rights transfer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

acquisition through &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The unaudited estimated pro forma results presented below include the effects of our acquisition of BTG as if it was consummated on January 1, 2018. In 2019, we incurred nonrecurring charges that we attributed to our acquisition of BTG, which are presented in our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated statements of operations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for this period. These charges include acquisition-related costs, stock-based compensation expenses as a result of the change in control and retention bonuses and severance payments, adjusted for the related tax effects. We have reflected these nonrecurring charges as adjustments to the pro forma earnings presented below for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Additionally, these pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of BTG to reflect the additional costs associated with fair value adjustments relating to inventories, property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018, with the consequential tax effects. Additionally, the pro forma amounts have been adjusted to reflect the amortization of deferred financing costs and interest expense associated with additional financing entered into as part of the acquisition. The pro forma results exclude BTG&#x2019;s historical licensing revenue and related cost of sales, as these arrangements are accounted for as part of the acquisition as a financial asset and liability and are not accounted for within the scope of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 606&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The supplemental pro forma information presented below is for informational purposes only and should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements. The pro forma results do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisition. Accordingly, the unaudited estimated pro forma financial information below is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined companies would have been had the acquisition of BTG occurred as of January 1, 2018, nor are they indicative of future results of operations. We believe that the pro forma assumptions and adjustments are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances and are factually supported based on information currently available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span

style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On August 21, 2019, we completed the sale of our drug-eluting and bland embolic microsphere portfolio to Varian Medical Systems, Inc. (Varian) in connection with our acquisition of BTG. The transaction price consisted of an upfront cash payment of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$90 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, a portion of which is allocated to the fair value of the services to be rendered under the Transition Services Agreement and Transition Manufacturing Agreement entered into with Varian as part of this transaction. Additionally, we transferred certain contingent consideration arrangements arising from our initial acquisition of the portfolio to Varian and agreed to indemnify Varian for any payments ultimately arising under the terms of the contingent consideration arrangement. Accordingly, as part of the disposal, we recorded a liability of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$16 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to recognize the fair value of this guarantee based on our potential obligation resulting from the indemnifications. The maximum amount payable under this guarantee is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$200 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 460, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Guarantees&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which is consistent with the contingent consideration arrangement executed with our initial acquisition of the portfolio in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 805&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Vertiflex, Inc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On June 11, 2019, we announced the closing of our acquisition of Vertiflex, Inc. (Vertiflex), a privately-held company which has developed and commercialized the Superion&#x2122; Indirect Decompression System, a minimally-invasive device used to improve physical function and reduce pain in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). The transaction price consisted of an upfront cash payment of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$465 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and contingent payments that are based on a percentage of Vertiflex sales growth in the first three years following the acquisition close. We estimate the sales-based contingent payments to be in a range of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;zero&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$100 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;; however, the payments are uncapped over the three year earn-out period. Following the closing of the acquisition, we have integrated the Vertiflex business into our Neuromodulation division.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Millipede, Inc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On January 29, 2019, we announced the closing of our acquisition of Millipede, Inc. (Millipede)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, a privately-held company that has developed the IRIS Transcatheter Annuloplasty Ring System for the treatment of severe mitral regurgitation. We had previously been an investor in Millipede since the first quarter of 2018 as part of an investment and acquisition option agreement, whereby we purchased a portion of the outstanding shares of Millipede, along with newly issued shares of the company, for an upfront cash payment of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$90 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. In the fourth quarter of 2018, upon the successful completion of a first-in-human clinical study, we exercised our option to acquire the remaining shares of Millipede. We held an interest of approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;20 percent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; immediately prior to the acquisition date. We remeasured the fair value of our previously-held investment based on the implied enterprise value and allocation of purchase price consideration according to priority of equity interests. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The transaction price for the remaining stake consisted of an upfront cash payment of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$325 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and up to an additional &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$125 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of future payments upon achievement of a commercial milestone. Following the closing of the acquisition, we have integrated the Millipede business into our Interventional Cardiology division.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Purchase Price Allocation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We accounted for our 2019 acquisitions of Vertiflex and Millipede as business combinations, and in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 805&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, we recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition dates.

The transaction price to acquire the remaining stake consisted of an upfront cash payment of approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$240 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and up to approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$85 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in future potential payments contingent upon achieving commercial milestones over the four years following the date of acquisition.

We operate these programs pursuant to documented corporate risk management policies and do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. Our derivative instruments do not subject our earnings to material risk, as the gains or losses on these derivatives generally offset losses or gains recognized on the hedged item.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We manage concentration of counterparty credit risk by limiting acceptable counterparties to major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of credit exposure to individual counterparties and by actively monitoring counterparty credit ratings and the amount of individual credit exposure. We also employ master netting arrangements that limit the risk of counterparty non-payment on a particular settlement date to the net gain that would have otherwise been received from the counterparty. Although not completely eliminated, we do not consider the risk of counterparty default to be significant as a result of these protections. Further, none of our derivative instruments are subject to collateral or other security arrangements, nor do they contain provisions that are dependent on our credit ratings from any credit rating agency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Currency Hedging Instruments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Risk Management Strategy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:13px;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Our risk from changes in currency exchange rates consists primarily of monetary assets and liabilities, forecast intercompany and third-party transactions, net investments in certain subsidiaries and the purchase price of any acquisition that is denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. We manage currency exchange rate risk at a consolidated level to reduce the cost of hedging by taking advantage of offsetting transactions. We employ derivative and nonderivative instruments, primarily forward currency contracts, to reduce the risk to our earnings and cash flows associated with changes in currency exchange rates. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The success of our currency risk management program depends, in part, on forecast transactions denominated primarily in Euro, Japanese yen, Chinese renminbi and British pound sterling. We may experience unanticipated currency exchange gains or losses to the extent the actual activity is different than forecast. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates related to any unhedged transactions may impact our earnings and cash flows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Hedge Designations and Relationships&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Certain of our currency derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges under &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 815&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;, Derivatives and Hedging&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 815&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;), and are intended to protect the U.S. dollar value of forecasted transactions. The gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Net change in derivative financial instruments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; component of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax (OCI)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; until the underlying third-party transaction occurs. When the underlying third-party transaction occurs, we recognize the gain or loss in earnings within the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Cost of products sold&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; caption of our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated statements of operations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. In the event the hedging relationship is no longer effective, or if the occurrence of the hedged forecast transaction becomes no longer probable, we reclassify the gains or losses within &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;AOCI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to earnings at that time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We also designate certain forward currency contracts as net investment hedges to hedge a portion of our net investments in certain of our entities with functional currencies denominated in the Euro, Swiss franc, Japanese yen, British pound sterling, South Korean won and Taiwan dollar. We elected to use the spot method to assess effectiveness for our derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges. Under the spot method, the change in fair value attributable to changes in the spot rate is recorded in the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt; Foreign currency translation adjustment (CTA)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; component of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;OCI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We have elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are amortizing this amount separately, as calculated at the date of designation, on a straight-line basis over the term of the currency forward contracts.

We use interest rate derivative instruments to mitigate the risk to our earnings and cash flows associated with exposure to changes in interest rates. Under these agreements we and the counterparty, at specified intervals, exchange the difference between fixed and floating interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. We designate these derivative instruments either as fair value or cash flow hedges in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 815&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Hedge Designations and Relationships&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We had no interest rate derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December 31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$1.000 billion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; outstanding as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December 31, 2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which were intended to manage our earnings and cash flow exposure to changes in the benchmark interest rate in connection with the forecasted issuance of fixed-rate debt. For outstanding designated cash flow hedges, we record the changes in the fair value of the derivatives within &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;OCI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; until the underlying hedged transaction occurs, at which time we recognize the gain or loss within &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Interest expense&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; over the same period that the hedged items affect earnings, so long as the hedge relationship remains effective. If we determine the hedging relationship is no longer effective, or if the occurrence of the hedged forecast transaction becomes no longer probable, we reclassify the amount of gains or losses from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;AOCI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to earnings at that time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;During the fourth quarter of 2018, we entered into interest rate derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges having a notional amount of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$1.000 billion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to hedge interest rate risk.

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; requires all derivative and nonderivative instruments to be recognized at their fair values as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. We determine the fair value of our derivative and nonderivative instruments using the framework prescribed by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 820, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, and considering the estimated amount we would receive or pay to transfer these instruments at the reporting date with respect to current currency exchange rates, interest rates, the creditworthiness of the counterparty for unrealized gain positions and our own creditworthiness for unrealized loss positions. In certain instances, we may utilize financial models to measure fair value of our derivative and nonderivative instruments. In doing so, we use inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, other observable inputs for the asset or liability and inputs derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means.

In connection with our acquisition of BTG, we acquired intellectual property and related licensing arrangements, principally relating to Zytiga&#x2122;, as a result of our acquisition of BTG that provides the contractual right to receive future royalty payments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In the fourth quarter of 2019, we entered into a royalty purchase agreement with the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS), whereby we sold to OMERS our remaining &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;50 percent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of the future Zytiga&#x2122; royalty stream. The purchase price for these royalty interests consisted of an upfront cash payment of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$256 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Prior to our acquisition of BTG, BTG agreed to pay &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;50 percent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of the Zytiga&#x2122; royalty stream, net of certain offsets, to the inventors associated with the intellectual property. As such, we do not expect to receive any future cash benefit from Zytiga&#x2122; royalties subsequent to our transaction with OMERS. In accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 860, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Transfers and Servicing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, we are accounting for the transfer as a secured borrowing and continue to recognize the financial asset and financial liability in our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated balance sheets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We have elected the fair value option to account for the licensing arrangements' financial asset and financial liability in accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 825, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Financial Instruments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December 31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, we have recorded the fair values of the financial asset and financial liability using a discounted cash flow approach considering the probability-weighted expected future cash flows to be generated by the royalty stream. The fair value of the financial liability also considers the related contractual provisions that govern our payment obligations. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In connection with our preliminary purchase price allocation of BTG as of the acquisition date, the amount recognized for the financial asset was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$567 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in aggregate, comprised of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$195 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; included in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other current assets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$373 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; included in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other long-term assets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are generally not recorded on the balance sheet, unless the arrangement includes an option to purchase the underlying asset, or an option to renew the arrangement, that we are reasonably certain to exercise (short-term leases). We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term for short-term leases that we do not record on our balance sheet. If there is a change in our assessment of the lease term and, as a result, the remaining lease term extends more than 12 months from the end of the previously determined lease term, or we subsequently become reasonably certain that we will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, the lease no longer meets the definition of a short-term lease and is accounted for as either an operating or finance lease and recognized on the balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;FASB ASC Topic 842&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as discussed in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Note A &#x2013; Significant Accounting Policies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. Beginning in 2019, we account for the lease components and the non-lease components as a single lease component, with the exception of our warehouse leases. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;1 year&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;60 years&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;10 years&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. If we are reasonably certain we will exercise an option to extend the lease, the time period covered by the extension option is included in the lease term.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We determine whether an arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present at the inception of the arrangement. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, we utilize the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

The 2019 Restructuring Plan is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;intended to support our effort to improve operating performance and meet anticipated market demands by ensuring that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver sustainable value to patients and customers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Key activities under the 2019 Restructuring Plan include supply chain network optimization intended to maximize our global manufacturing and distribution network capacity and building functional capabilities that support business growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;These activities were initiated in 2019, with the majority of activity expected to be complete by the end of 2021.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On June 6, 2016, our Board of Directors approved, and we committed to a restructuring initiative (the 2016 Restructuring Plan). The 2016 Restructuring Plan was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;intended to&#160;develop global commercialization, technology and manufacturing capabilities in key growth markets, build on our Plant Network Optimization (PNO) strategy which is intended to simplify our manufacturing plant structure by transferring certain production lines among facilities and expand operational efficiencies in support of our operating income margin goals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Key activities under the 2016 Restructuring Plan included strengthening global infrastructure through evolving global real estate assets and workplaces, developing global commercial and technical competencies, enhancing manufacturing and distribution expertise in certain regions and continuing implementation of our PNO strategy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; These activities were initiated &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;in the second quarter of 2016 and substantially completed in 2019.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span

These transactions occurred to more closely align the global economic ownership of our intellectual property rights with our current and future business operations. These transactions did not result in a taxable gain in any jurisdiction, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;however, some of the transactions did create a step-up in the tax-deductible basis in the transferred intellectual property rights in certain jurisdictions. As a result, we recorded deferred tax assets in the amount of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$4.102 billion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which represents the book and tax basis differences measured at applicable statutory tax rates, net of a valuation allowance of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$542 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;After consideration of all positive and negative evidence, we believe that it is more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result, we established a valuation allowance of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$915 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$344 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, representing an &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;increase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$571 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

The income tax impact of the unrealized gain or loss component of other comprehensive income and stockholders' equity was a charge of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$13 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, a charge of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$37 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and a benefit of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$63 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We obtain tax incentives through Free Trade Zone Regime offered in Costa Rica which allows 100.0 percent exemption from income tax in the first eight years of operations and 50.0 percent exemption in the following four years. This tax incentive resulted in income tax savings of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$173 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$146 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$127 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. The tax incentive for 100.0 percent exemption from income tax was renewed during 2019 and is expected to expire in 2027. The impact on per share earnings was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$0.12&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$0.10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$0.09&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

As a result of settling our various tax audits, the revised amount of transition tax is approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$856 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of December 31, 2018 as compared to the preliminary amount recorded of approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$1.044 billion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of December 31, 2017. We anticipate offsetting this liability against existing tax attributes reducing the required payment to approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$499 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which will be remitted over an eight-year period. We have begun remitting the required installment payments, with a balance remaining of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$420 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. In addition, we have provided for U.S. state income taxes of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$18 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on all U.S. dollar-denominated E&amp;amp;P accumulated through December 31, 2017, which constitutes the preponderance of our foreign subsidiaries' accumulated E&amp;amp;P through December 31, 2017. We intend to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted foreign earnings of all other subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017, as well as all subsequent earnings generated by all of our foreign subsidiaries. Determining the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to any remaining undistributed foreign earnings and additional outside basis difference in these entities is not practicable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;We are subject to a territorial tax system under the TCJA, in which we are required to provide for tax on Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. We have established an accounting policy election to provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense.</us-gaap:IncomeTaxDisclosureTextBlock>

As a result, intellectual property rights, particularly patents and trade secrets, play a significant role in product development and differentiation. Over the years, there has been litigation initiated against us by others, including our competitors, claiming that our current or former product offerings infringe patents owned or licensed by them. Intellectual property litigation is inherently complex and unpredictable. In addition, competing parties frequently file multiple suits to leverage patent portfolios across product lines, technologies and geographies and to balance risk and exposure between the parties. In some cases, several competitors are parties in the same proceeding, or in a series of related proceedings, or litigate multiple features of a single class of devices. These dynamics frequently drive settlement not only for individual cases, but also for a series of pending and potentially related and unrelated cases. Although monetary and injunctive relief is typically sought, remedies and restitution are generally not determined until the conclusion of the trial court proceedings and can be modified on appeal. Accordingly, the outcomes of individual cases are difficult to time, predict or quantify and are often dependent upon the outcomes of other cases in other geographies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;During recent years, we successfully negotiated closure of several long-standing legal matters and have received favorable rulings in several other matters; however, there continues to be outstanding intellectual property litigation. Adverse outcomes in one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell certain products and on our operating margins, financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In the normal course of business, product liability, securities and commercial claims are asserted against us. Similar claims may be asserted against us in the future related to events not known to management at the present time. We maintain an insurance policy providing limited coverage against securities claims and we are substantially self-insured with respect to product liability claims and fully self-insured with respect to intellectual property infringement claims. The absence of significant third-party insurance coverage increases our potential exposure to unanticipated claims or adverse decisions. Product liability claims, securities and commercial litigation and other legal proceedings in the future, regardless of their outcome, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In addition, like other companies in the medical device industry, we are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and other countries in which we operate. From time to time we are the subject of qui tam actions and governmental investigations often involving regulatory, marketing and other business practices. These qui tam actions and governmental investigations could result in the commencement of civil and criminal proceedings, substantial fines, penalties and administrative remedies and have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In accordance with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 450, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Contingencies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, we accrue anticipated costs of settlement, damages, losses for product liability claims and, under certain conditions, costs of defense, based on historical experience or to the extent specific losses are probable and estimable. Otherwise, we expense these costs as incurred. If the estimate of a probable loss is a range and no amount within the range is more likely, we accrue the minimum amount of the range.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Our accrual for legal matters that are probable and estimable was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$697 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$929 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and includes certain estimated costs of settlement, damages and defense. The decrease in our legal accrual was mainly due to settlement payments associated with product liability cases or claims related to transvaginal surgical mesh products. A portion of our legal accrual is already funded through our qualified settlement fund (QSF), which is included in our restricted cash and restricted cash equivalent balances in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Other current assets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$346 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$655 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, as discussed in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Note A &#x2013; Significant Accounting Policies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We recorded litigation-related net charges of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$115 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$103 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$285 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. These included litigation-related net charges included a net charge of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$223 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in the fourth quarter of 2019, primarily related to litigation with Channel Medsystems, Inc., net charges of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$25 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in the third quarter of 2019 and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$15 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in the second quarter of 2019, primarily related to transvaginal surgical mesh product liability litigation, and a gain of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$148 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; recorded in the first quarter of 2019, which represents a portion of the total &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$180 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; one-time settlement payment received from Edwards Lifesciences Corporation (Edwards) in January 2019.

As such, a portion of the related gain from the Edwards settlement was recorded in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;Selling, general and administrative expenses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated statements of operations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We continue to assess certain litigation and claims to determine the amounts, if any, that management believes will be paid as a result of such claims and litigation and, therefore, additional losses may be accrued and paid in the future, which could materially adversely impact our operating results, cash flows and/or our ability to comply with our debt covenants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In management's opinion, we are not currently involved in any legal proceedings other than those specifically identified below, which, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operations and/or cash flows. Unless included in our legal accrual or otherwise indicated below, a range of loss associated with any individual material legal proceeding cannot be estimated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Patent Litigation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On October 28, 2015, BSC filed suit against Cook Group Limited and Cook Medical LLC (collectively, &#x201c;Cook&#x201d;) in the District Court for the District of Delaware (1:15-cv-00980) alleging infringement of certain Company patents regarding Cook&#x2019;s Instinct Endoscopic Hemoclip.&#160;The case was transferred to the District Court for the S.D. Indiana.&#160;Cook filed seven Inter Partes Review (&#x201c;IPR&#x201d;) requests with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office against the four asserted patents.&#160;All IPRs have concluded with claims confirmed in each patent.&#160;Cook and Boston Scientific have both appealed the Patent Office&#x2019;s IPR decisions to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.&#160;The district court had stayed the case pending the appeals court decision on the IPRs.&#160; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On November 29, 2016 Nevro Corp. (Nevro) filed a patent infringement action against us and one of our subsidiaries, Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that six U.S. patents (Alataris) owned by Nevro are infringed by our spinal cord stimulation systems. On June 29, 2017, Nevro amended the complaint to add an additional patent (Fang). On July 24, 2018, summary judgment was entered in favor of the Company and on July 31, 2018, we received final judgment and dismissal of the action. On July 31, 2018, Nevro filed an appeal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On December 9, 2016, the Company and Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation filed a patent infringement action against Nevro in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that ten U.S. patents owned by Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation are infringed by Nevro&#x2019;s Senza&#x2122; Spinal Cord Stimulation System.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On November 20, 2017, The Board of Regents, University of Texas System (UT) and TissueGen. Inc., served a lawsuit against us in the Western District of Texas. The complaint against us alleges patent infringement of two U.S. patents owned by UT, relating to &#x201c;Drug Releasing Biodegradable Fiber Implant&#x201d; and &#x201c;Drug Releasing Biodegradable Fiber for Delivery of Therapeutics,&#x201d; and affects the manufacture, use and sale of our Synergy&#x2122; Stent System. On March 12, 2018, the District Court for the Western District of Texas dismissed the action and transferred it to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. On September 5, 2019, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the dismissal of the District Court for the Western District of Texas. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On April 21, 2018, the Company and Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation filed a patent infringement, theft of trade secrets and tortious interference with a contract action against Nevro in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;amended the complaint on July 18, 2018, alleging that nine U.S. patents owned by Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation are infringed by Nevro&#x2019;s Senza&#x2122; I and Senza&#x2122; II Spinal Cord Stimulation Systems. On December 9, 2019, Nevro filed an answer and counterclaims, in which it alleged that our Spinal Cord Stimulation systems infringe 5 Nevro patents. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On April 30, 2019,&#160;Tissue Anchor Innovations filed a complaint for patent infringement in the United States District Court Central District of California against Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and Medical Center, Los Alamitos Medical Center and us.&#160;The complaint alleges that the Solyx&#x2122; Sling System infringes US Patent 6,506,190. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Product Liability Litigation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;January 29, 2020&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;54,000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; product liability cases or claims related to transvaginal surgical mesh products designed to treat stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse have been asserted against us. As of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;January 29, 2020&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, we have entered into master settlement agreements in principle or are in the final stages of entering one with certain plaintiffs' counsel to resolve an aggregate of approximately&#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;52,000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#160;cases and claims. These master settlement agreements provide that the settlement and distribution of settlement funds to participating claimants are conditional upon, among other things, achieving minimum required claimant participation thresholds. Of the approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;52,000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; cases and claims, approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;46,000&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; have met the conditions of the settlement and are final. All settlement agreements were entered into solely by way of compromise and without any admission or concession by us of any liability or wrongdoing. On&#160;April&#160;16, 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered that all manufacturers of surgical mesh products indicated for the transvaginal repair of pelvic organ prolapse stop selling and distributing their products in the United States immediately, stemming from the FDA&#x2019;s 2016 reclassification of these devices to class III (high risk) devices, and as a result, the Company ceased global sales and distribution of surgical mesh products indicated for transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse. The pending cases are in various federal and state courts in the U.S. Generally, the plaintiffs allege personal injury associated with use of our transvaginal surgical mesh products. The plaintiffs assert design and manufacturing claims, failure to warn, breach of warranty, fraud, violations of state consumer protection laws and loss of consortium claims. Over &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;3,100&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of the cases were specially assigned to one judge in state court in Massachusetts. On February 7, 2012, the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation (MDL) established MDL-2326 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia and transferred the federal court transvaginal surgical mesh cases to MDL-2326 for coordinated pretrial proceedings. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we received written discovery requests from certain state attorneys general offices regarding our transvaginal surgical mesh products. We have responded to those requests. On December 12, 2019 the Mississippi Attorney General filed suit against BSC in State Court alleging violations of the Mississippi Consumer Protection Act which the Company plans to vigorously defend. There were also fewer than &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;25&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; cases in Canada, inclusive of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;one&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; certified class action and fewer than &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;25&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; claims in the United Kingdom. We have reached an agreement to settle the Canadian class action pending Court approval. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We have established a product liability accrual for known and estimated future cases and claims asserted against us as well as with respect to the actions that have resulted in verdicts against us and the costs of defense thereof associated with our transvaginal surgical mesh products. While we believe that our accrual associated with this matter is adequate, changes to this accrual may be required in the future as additional information becomes available. While we continue to engage in discussions with plaintiffs&#x2019; counsel regarding potential resolution of pending cases and claims and intend to vigorously contest the cases and claims asserted against us, that do not settle, the final resolution of the cases and claims is uncertain and could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity. Initial trials involving our transvaginal surgical mesh products have resulted in both favorable and unfavorable judgments for us. We do not believe that the judgment in any one trial is representative of potential outcomes of all cases or claims related to our transvaginal surgical mesh products.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Governmental Investigations and Qui Tam Matters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On May 5, 2014, we were served with a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General. The subpoena seeks information relating to the launch of the Cognis&#x2122; and Teligen&#x2122; line of devices in 2008, the performance of those devices from 2007 to 2009 and the operation of the Physician Guided Learning Program. We are cooperating with this request. On May 6, 2016, a qui tam lawsuit in this matter was unsealed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. At the same time, we learned that the U.S. government and the State of California had earlier declined to intervene in that lawsuit on April 15, 2016. The complaint was served on us on July 21, 2016. On October 7, 2016, the plaintiff/relator served an amended complaint that dropped the allegations relating to the Physician Guided Learning Program. We filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on December 7, 2016 and the court heard our motion to dismiss on April 5, 2017. On August 29, 2017, the Court granted the motion to dismiss, without prejudice and on September 19, 2017, the relator filed a Second Amended Complaint.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on October 10, 2017 and the Court denied that motion on December 13, 2017.

On November 10, 2017, the Court issued a ruling that convicted one Boston Scientific employee but acquitted two others and levied a fine of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#x20ac;245 thousand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; against us and imposed joint and several civil damages of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#x20ac;620 thousand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; on all defendants.

On June 20, 2017, CADE, through the publication of a &#x201c;technical note,&#x201d; announced that it was launching a formal administrative proceeding against Boston Scientific&#x2019;s Brazilian subsidiary, Boston Scientific do Brasil Ltda., as well as against the Brazilian operations of Medtronic, Biotronik and St. Jude Medical, two Brazilian associations, ABIMED and AMBIMO and 29 individuals for alleged anti-competitive behavior.

All pending cases or appeals in courts and patent offices between the two companies will be dismissed, and the parties will not litigate patent disputes related to current portfolios of transcatheter aortic valves, certain mitral valve repair devices, and left atrial appendage closure devices. Any injunctions currently in place will be lifted.

(Sadra), in the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division Patents Court in the United Kingdom, alleging that a European patent owned by Sadra relating to a repositionable heart valve is invalid. On January 15, 2016, we filed our defense and counterclaim for a declaration that our European patent is valid and infringed by Edwards.

On April 13, 2018, the &#x2018;550 patent was revoked by the European Patent Office.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:48px;"/&gt;&lt;td/&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On August 1, 2018, the Company filed a patent infringement action on the merits in Dusseldorf, Germany against Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and Edwards Lifesciences GmbH (collectively Edwards) alleging that the Sapien 3&#x2122; Device and Sapien 3 Ultra Device infringed a patent owned by the Company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:48px;"/&gt;&lt;td/&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On August 3, 2018, the Company filed a preliminary injunction request in Dusseldorf, Germany against Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and Edwards Lifesciences GmbH (collectively Edwards) alleging that the Sapien 3 Ultra Device infringed a patent owned by the Company. On October 23, 2018, the court found that the Sapien 3 Ultra Device infringed the patent. Edwards had the right to appeal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;padding-left:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="width:48px;"/&gt;&lt;td/&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&#x2022;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="vertical-align:top;"&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On August 22, 2018, Edwards Lifesciences LLC filed a patent infringement action against Boston Scientific Corporation, in the U. S. District Court of Delaware, alleging that two U.S. patents (Schweich) owned by them are infringed by our Watchman&#x2122; Left Atrial Appendage Closure Device, Watchman Delivery System and Watchman Access System.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On December 14, 2016, we learned that the Associacao Brasileira de Medicina de Grupo d/b/a ABRAMGE filed a complaint against us, Arthrex and Zimmer Biomet Holdings, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. This complaint, which ABRAMGE never served against us, alleges that the defendants or their agents paid kickbacks to health care providers in order to increase sales and prices and are liable under a variety of common law theories. On February 6, 2017, ABRAMGE filed and served an amended complaint on us and the other defendants.&#160;The amended complaint does not contain any material changes in the allegations against us. Subsequently, on March 2, 2017, ABRAMGE filed a motion to consolidate this lawsuit with two other similar suits that it had brought against Stryker and Abbott Laboratories, in a multidistrict litigation proceeding. On April 13, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, as well as a separate opposition to the multidistrict litigation motion and on May 31, 2017, the Joint Panel on Multi-District Litigation denied ABRAMGE&#x2019;s motion for the multidistrict litigation. On September 1, 2017, ABRAMGE filed a motion for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint, while our motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint remained pending. On September 15, 2017, we filed an opposition to the motion seeking leave to amend. On November 8, 2018, the Court granted ABRAMGE&#x2019;s motion for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint, while also granting us leave to renew our motion to dismiss. We filed our motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on January 18, 2019. On February 28, 2019, ABRAMGE dismissed its Second Amended Complaint, concluding the lawsuit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On or about January 12, 2016, Teresa L. Stevens filed a claim against us and three other defendants asserting, for herself and on behalf of a putative class of similarly situated women, that she was harmed by a vaginal mesh implant that she alleges contained a counterfeit or adulterated resin product that we imported from China. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, before the same Court that is hearing the mesh MDL. The complaint, which alleges Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) violations, fraud, misrepresentation, deceptive trade practices and unjust enrichment, seeks both equitable relief and damages under state and federal law. On January 26, 2016, the Court issued an order staying the case and directing the plaintiff to submit information to allow the FDA to issue a determination with respect to her allegations. In addition, we were in contact with the U.S. Attorney&#x2019;s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia and responded voluntarily to their requests in connection with that office&#x2019;s review of the allegations concerning the use of mesh resin in the complaint. We reached a settlement on this matter and this case was dismissed on May 13, 2019.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On February 27, 2017, Carolyn Turner filed a complaint against us and five other defendants asserting for herself and on behalf of a putative class of similarly situated women, that she was harmed by a vaginal mesh implant that she alleges contained a counterfeit or adulterated resin product that we imported from China. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Orlando Division and alleges violations of the RICO, negligence, strict liability, breach of an express or implied warranty, intentional and negligent misrepresentation, fraud and unjust enrichment. Ms. Turner served this complaint against us on April 7, 2017. As of April 27, 2017, this case was stayed, pending resolution of the transfer petition to the mesh multidistrict litigation. We reached a settlement on this matter and this case was dismissed on February 25, 2019.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On April 24, 2019, a class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Boston Scientific Corporation, Michael F. Mahoney, our Chief Executive Officer, and Daniel J. Brennan, our Chief Financial Officer. The complaint alleges violations of federal securities laws based on false and/or misleading statements and failure to disclose facts related to the Company&#x2019;s transvaginal surgical mesh products.&#160;On September 20, 2019, the case was dismissed with prejudice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On March 10, 2017, Imran Niazi filed a patent infringement action against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin alleging that a U.S. patent owned by him is infringed by our Acuity&#x2122; Lead Delivery System. On June 30, 2017, we filed a motion to dismiss for improper venue and on November 7, 2017 the Wisconsin Court granted the motion to dismiss.&#160;On November 13, 2017 Niazi refiled the same action in the U.S. District of Minnesota. We reached a confidential settlement on this matter on February 3, 2020 pursuant to which we anticipate the court will dismiss the pending action.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On August 3, 2012, we were served with a qui tam complaint that had previously been filed under seal against Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on March 2, 2011. On August 8, 2012, we learned that the federal government had previously declined to intervene in this matter. The relators&#x2019; complaint, now unsealed, alleges that Boston Scientific Neuromodulation Corporation violated the federal and various states' false claims acts through &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;submission of fraudulent bills for implanted devices, under-reporting of certain adverse events and promotion of off-label uses. On September 10, 2012, the relators filed an amended complaint revising and restating certain of the claims in the original complaint. Our motion to dismiss, filed subsequently, was denied on May 31, 2013 and on June 28, 2013, we answered the amended complaint and brought certain counterclaims arising from relators&#x2019; unauthorized removal of documents from the business during their employments, which the relators moved to dismiss on July 22, 2013. The Court denied relators&#x2019; motion to dismiss the counterclaims on September 4, 2014. Following the completion of fact and expert discovery, we filed a motion for summary judgment against all claims on January 27, 2017, relators filed their own motion for summary judgment against our counterclaims that same date. On December 15, 2017, the Court denied both motions for summary judgment. The parties reached a settlement on May 2, 2019, and the Court subsequently ordered the case dismissed, except for any claim by relators to recover attorneys&#x2019; fees.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;On November 1, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement with Channel Medsystems, Inc. (Channel) pursuant to which we could have been obligated to pay &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$145 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in cash up-front and a maximum of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;$130 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in contingent payments to acquire Channel. The agreement contained a provision allowing Channel to sell the remaining equity interests of Channel to us upon achievement of a regulatory milestone and an option allowing us to acquire the remaining equity interests. We sent a notice of termination of that agreement to Channel in the second quarter of 2018. On September 12, 2018, Channel filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court against us for alleged breach of the agreement. Channel alleged that we breached the agreement by terminating it. We have answered the complaint, denied the claims by Channel and counterclaimed to recover part of our investment in Channel, alleging fraud in the inducement. On April 2, 2019, Channel announced its receipt of FDA approval of the Cerene&#x2122; Cryotherapy Device. Trial testimony was taken in April 2019, and the post-trial briefing and hearing have been completed. During the third quarter of 2019, Channel notified us that they were exercising their option to sell the remaining equity interests in Channel to us. We responded to the notification that we did not intend to purchase Channel since the previous agreement had been terminated. On December 18, 2019, the Chancery Court ruled that Boston Scientific was in breach of the agreement and granted Channel's request for specific performance to require the Company to complete the purchase. On January 10, 2020, we filed a Notice of Appeal of the Chancery Court&#x2019;s decision to the Delaware Supreme Court. On February 4, 2020, the Company settled the dispute with Channel resulting in termination of the agreement, payment by the Company of an undisclosed sum and surrender of the Company's equity interest in Channel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

In addition, award recipients must remain employed by us throughout the three-year performance period to attain the full amount of the market-based DSUs that satisfied the market performance criteria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We determined the fair value of the market-based DSU awards to be approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$10 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$7 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;$8 million&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We recognize compensation expense for our stock incentive plan using a straight-line method over the substantive vesting period. Most of our stock awards provide for immediate vesting upon death or disability of the participant. In addition, our stock grants to employees provide for accelerated vesting of our stock-based awards, other than performance-based and market-based awards, upon retirement, if the stock award has been held for at least one year by the recipient. In accordance with the terms of our stock grants, for employees who will become retirement eligible prior to the vest date we expense stock-based awards, other than performance-based and market-based awards, over the greater of one year or the period between grant date and retirement-eligibility. The performance-based and market-based awards discussed above do not contain provisions that would accelerate the full vesting of the awards upon retirement-eligibility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We recognize stock-based compensation expense for the value of the portion of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;FASB ASC Topic 718, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Compensation &#x2013; Stock Compensation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; allows forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The term &#x201c;forfeitures&#x201d; is distinct from &#x201c;cancellations&#x201d; or &#x201c;expirations&#x201d; and represents only the unvested portion of the surrendered stock-based award. We have applied, based on an analysis of our historical forfeitures, a weighted-average annual forfeiture rate of approximately &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;six percent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; to all unvested stock-based awards as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which represents the portion that we expect will be forfeited each year over the vesting period. We re-evaluate this analysis annually or more frequently if there are significant changes in circumstances and adjust the forfeiture rate as necessary. Ultimately, we will only recognize expense for those shares that vest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span

employees. Under the global employee stock purchase plan, we grant each eligible employee, at the beginning of each six-month offering period, an option to purchase shares of our common stock equal to not more than &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;ten percent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of the employee&#x2019;s eligible compensation or the statutory limit under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Such options may be exercised only to the extent of accumulated payroll deductions at the end of the offering period, at a purchase price equal to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;85 percent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; of the fair market value of our common stock at the beginning or end of each offering period, whichever is less.

Operating income of reportable segments as a percentage of net sales of reportable segments is defined as operating income of reportable segments divided by net sales of reportable segments. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;We exclude from operating income of reportable segments certain corporate-related expenses and certain transactions or adjustments that our chief operating decision maker (CODM) considers to be non-operational, such as amounts related to amortization expense, intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition/divestitures-related items, restructuring and restructuring-related items, medical device regulation charges and litigation-related charges/(credits). Although we exclude these amounts from operating income of reportable segments, they are included in reported &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Income (loss) before income taxes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; on the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;consolidated statements of operations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and are included in the reconciliation below.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Our seven core businesses are organized into three reportable segments: MedSurg, Rhythm and Neuro, and Cardiovascular. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Following our acquisition of BTG, which closed during the third quarter of 2019, we have included BTG&#x2019;s Interventional Medicine business within our Peripheral Interventions operating segment, within the Cardiovascular reportable segment.

The Guidant Supplemental Retirement Plan was partially funded through a Rabbi Trust that contains segregated company assets within restricted cash used to pay the benefit obligations related to the plan. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;We also maintain an Executive Retirement Plan, a defined benefit plan covering executive officers and division presidents.

The U.K. Plan was closed to new entrants as of June 1, 2004. Prior to the acquisition close date of August&#160;19, 2019, the Trustees of the U.K. Plan executed buy-in arrangements (Buy-in Contracts), which effectively, as structured under the Buy-in Contracts, are intended to provide payments designed to equal all future designated contractual benefit payments to covered participants. The benefit obligation of the pension plan is not transferred to the insurers, and we remain responsible for paying pension benefits. We do not anticipate any additional material contributions or payments to the U.K. Plan or the insurer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In connection with our preliminary purchase price allocation of BTG, we recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date.

The rate of compensation increase is based on historical and expected rate increases. We base our rate of expected return on plan assets on historical experience, our investment guidelines and expectations for long-term rates of return. Our assets are invested in a variety of securities, primarily equity securities and government bonds. These securities are considered Level 1 and Level 2 investments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;For our U.K. Plan, we utilize the insurance buy-in methodology and base our discount rate on a yield curve reflective of the market pricing obtained in the most recent buy-in transaction, which occurred prior to the acquisition of BTG, and movements in market-observed buy-in pricing as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We believe this is a reasonable proxy for an effective settlement rate of the buy-in assets. The discount rate is calculated as the single equivalent assumption that gives the same value of the liabilities as if the figures were calculated using the full yield curve. We assume that all pension increases will continue to be linked to the Retail Price Inflation (RPI), both before and after retirement, for all members, with the exception of post-88 Guaranteed Minimum Pensions (GMP), which will be based on Consumer Price Inflation (CPI). We base our rate of expected return on plan assets as equal to the discount rate used to value the buy-in assets. The U.K. Plan assets' investment policy is to invest in fully matching assets. This has been achieved through the purchase of two buy-in policies (Buy-in contracts), which provide payments designed to equal all future benefit payments due from the fund. As of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the Buy-in contracts represented 99% of the total plan assets, as compared to the target percentage of 100%, and are considered Level 3 investments. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

The rate of compensation increase is based on historical and expected rate increases. We base our rate of expected return on plan assets on historical experience, our investment guidelines and expectations for long-term rates of return. Our assets are invested in a variety of securities, primarily equity securities and government bonds. These securities are considered Level 1 and Level 2 investments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;For our U.K. Plan, we utilize the insurance buy-in methodology and base our discount rate on a yield curve reflective of the market pricing obtained in the most recent buy-in transaction, which occurred prior to the acquisition of BTG, and movements in market-observed buy-in pricing as of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. We believe this is a reasonable proxy for an effective settlement rate of the buy-in assets. The discount rate is calculated as the single equivalent assumption that gives the same value of the liabilities as if the figures were calculated using the full yield curve. We assume that all pension increases will continue to be linked to the Retail Price Inflation (RPI), both before and after retirement, for all members, with the exception of post-88 Guaranteed Minimum Pensions (GMP), which will be based on Consumer Price Inflation (CPI). We base our rate of expected return on plan assets as equal to the discount rate used to value the buy-in assets. The U.K. Plan assets' investment policy is to invest in fully matching assets. This has been achieved through the purchase of two buy-in policies (Buy-in contracts), which provide payments designed to equal all future benefit payments due from the fund. As of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;December&#160;31, 2019&lt;/span&gt;, the Buy-in contracts represented 99% of the total plan assets, as compared to the target percentage of 100%, and are considered Level 3 investments.</us-gaap:PensionAndOtherPostretirementPlansPolicy>

Total expense for our matching contributions to the plan was </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$98 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$87 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$79 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">2017</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For our defined benefit plans excluding our U.K. Plan, we base our discount rate on the rates of return available on high-quality bonds with maturities approximating the expected period over which benefits will be paid. The rate of compensation increase is based on historical and expected rate increases. We base our rate of expected return on plan assets on historical experience, our investment guidelines and expectations for long-term rates of return. Our assets are invested in a variety of securities, primarily equity securities and government bonds. These securities are considered Level 1 and Level 2 investments.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For our U.K. Plan, we utilize the insurance buy-in methodology and base our discount rate on a yield curve reflective of the market pricing obtained in the most recent buy-in transaction, which occurred prior to the acquisition of BTG, and movements in market-observed buy-in pricing as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. We believe this is a reasonable proxy for an effective settlement rate of the buy-in assets. The discount rate is calculated as the single equivalent assumption that gives the same value of the liabilities as if the figures were calculated using the full yield curve. We assume that all pension increases will continue to be linked to the Retail Price Inflation (RPI), both before and after retirement, for all members, with the exception of post-88 Guaranteed Minimum Pensions (GMP), which will be based on Consumer Price Inflation (CPI). We base our rate of expected return on plan assets as equal to the discount rate used to value the buy-in assets. The U.K. Plan assets' investment policy is to invest in fully matching assets. This has been achieved through the purchase of two buy-in policies (Buy-in contracts), which provide payments designed to equal all future benefit payments due from the fund. As of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span>, the Buy-in contracts represented 99% of the total plan assets, as compared to the target percentage of 100%, and are considered Level 3 investments.<span></span>

Update No. 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods.

Prior to the acquisition close date of August&#160;19, 2019, the Trustees of the U.K. Plan executed buy-in arrangements (Buy-in Contracts), which effectively, as structured under the Buy-in Contracts, are intended to provide payments designed to equal all future designated contractual benefit payments to covered participants.

The rate of compensation increase is based on historical and expected rate increases. We base our rate of expected return on plan assets on historical experience, our investment guidelines and expectations for long-term rates of return. Our assets are invested in a variety of securities, primarily equity securities and government bonds. These securities are considered Level 1 and Level 2 investments.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">For our U.K. Plan, we utilize the insurance buy-in methodology and base our discount rate on a yield curve reflective of the market pricing obtained in the most recent buy-in transaction, which occurred prior to the acquisition of BTG, and movements in market-observed buy-in pricing as of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. We believe this is a reasonable proxy for an effective settlement rate of the buy-in assets. The discount rate is calculated as the single equivalent assumption that gives the same value of the liabilities as if the figures were calculated using the full yield curve. We assume that all pension increases will continue to be linked to the Retail Price Inflation (RPI), both before and after retirement, for all members, with the exception of post-88 Guaranteed Minimum Pensions (GMP), which will be based on Consumer Price Inflation (CPI). We base our rate of expected return on plan assets as equal to the discount rate used to value the buy-in assets. The U.K. Plan assets' investment policy is to invest in fully matching assets. This has been achieved through the purchase of two buy-in policies (Buy-in contracts), which provide payments designed to equal all future benefit payments due from the fund. As of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December&#160;31, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, the Buy-in contracts represented 99% of the total plan assets, as compared to the target percentage of 100%, and are considered Level 3 investments. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span

As a result, intellectual property rights, particularly patents and trade secrets, play a significant role in product development and differentiation. Over the years, there has been litigation initiated against us by others, including our competitors, claiming that our current or former product offerings infringe patents owned or licensed by them. Intellectual property litigation is inherently complex and unpredictable. In addition, competing parties frequently file multiple suits to leverage patent portfolios across product lines, technologies and geographies and to balance risk and exposure between the parties. In some cases, several competitors are parties in the same proceeding, or in a series of related proceedings, or litigate multiple features of a single class of devices. These dynamics frequently drive settlement not only for individual cases, but also for a series of pending and potentially related and unrelated cases. Although monetary and injunctive relief is typically sought, remedies and restitution are generally not determined until the conclusion of the trial court proceedings and can be modified on appeal. Accordingly, the outcomes of individual cases are difficult to time, predict or quantify and are often dependent upon the outcomes of other cases in other geographies. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">During recent years, we successfully negotiated closure of several long-standing legal matters and have received favorable rulings in several other matters; however, there continues to be outstanding intellectual property litigation. Adverse outcomes in one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell certain products and on our operating margins, financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In the normal course of business, product liability, securities and commercial claims are asserted against us. Similar claims may be asserted against us in the future related to events not known to management at the present time. We maintain an insurance policy providing limited coverage against securities claims and we are substantially self-insured with respect to product liability claims and fully self-insured with respect to intellectual property infringement claims. The absence of significant third-party insurance coverage increases our potential exposure to unanticipated claims or adverse decisions. Product liability claims, securities and commercial litigation and other legal proceedings in the future, regardless of their outcome, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In addition, like other companies in the medical device industry, we are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local government agencies in the U.S. and other countries in which we operate.

These qui tam actions and governmental investigations could result in the commencement of civil and criminal proceedings, substantial fines, penalties and administrative remedies and have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or liquidity.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">In accordance with </span><span>FASB ASC Topic 450, </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Contingencies</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, we accrue anticipated costs of settlement, damages, losses for product liability claims and, under certain conditions, costs of defense, based on historical experience or to the extent specific losses are probable and estimable.

As of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">January 29, 2020</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, we have entered into master settlement agreements in principle or are in the final stages of entering one with certain plaintiffs' counsel to resolve an aggregate of approximately&#160;</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>52,000</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;cases and claims.

All settlement agreements were entered into solely by way of compromise and without any admission or concession by us of any liability or wrongdoing. On&#160;April&#160;16, 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ordered that all manufacturers of surgical mesh products indicated for the transvaginal repair of pelvic organ prolapse stop selling and distributing their products in the United States immediately, stemming from the FDA&#8217;s 2016 reclassification of these devices to class III (high risk) devices, and as a result, the Company ceased global sales and distribution of surgical mesh products indicated for transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse. The pending cases are in various federal and state courts in the U.S. Generally, the plaintiffs allege personal injury associated with use of our transvaginal surgical mesh products. The plaintiffs assert design and manufacturing claims, failure to warn, breach of warranty, fraud, violations of state consumer protection laws and loss of consortium claims. Over </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>3,100</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the cases were specially assigned to one judge in state court in Massachusetts. On February 7, 2012, the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation (MDL) established MDL-2326 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia and transferred the federal court transvaginal surgical mesh cases to MDL-2326 for coordinated pretrial proceedings. During the fourth quarter of 2013, we received written discovery requests from certain state attorneys general offices regarding our transvaginal surgical mesh products. We have responded to those requests. On December 12, 2019 the Mississippi Attorney General filed suit against BSC in State Court alleging violations of the Mississippi Consumer Protection Act which the Company plans to vigorously defend.

While we continue to engage in discussions with plaintiffs&#8217; counsel regarding potential resolution of pending cases and claims and intend to vigorously contest the cases and claims asserted against us, that do not settle, the final resolution of the cases and claims is uncertain and could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition and/or liquidity.

Our motion to dismiss, filed subsequently, was denied on May 31, 2013 and on June 28, 2013, we answered the amended complaint and brought certain counterclaims arising from relators&#8217; unauthorized removal of documents from the business during their employments, which the relators moved to dismiss on July 22, 2013. The Court denied relators&#8217; motion to dismiss the counterclaims on September 4, 2014. Following the completion of fact and expert discovery, we filed a motion for summary judgment against all claims on January 27, 2017, relators filed their own motion for summary judgment against our counterclaims that same date. On December 15, 2017, the Court denied both motions for summary judgment. The parties reached a settlement on May 2, 2019, and the Court subsequently ordered the case dismissed, except for any claim by relators to recover attorneys&#8217; fees.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">On November 1, 2017, we entered into a definitive agreement with Channel Medsystems, Inc. (Channel) pursuant to which we could have been obligated to pay </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$145 million</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in cash up-front and a maximum of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$130 million</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> in contingent payments to acquire Channel. The agreement contained a provision allowing Channel to sell the remaining equity interests of Channel to us upon achievement of a regulatory milestone and an option allowing us to acquire the remaining equity interests. We sent a notice of termination of that agreement to Channel in the second quarter of 2018. On September 12, 2018, Channel filed a complaint in Delaware Chancery Court against us for alleged breach of the agreement. Channel alleged that we breached the agreement by terminating it. We have answered the complaint, denied the claims by Channel and counterclaimed to recover part of our investment in Channel, alleging fraud in the inducement. On April 2, 2019, Channel announced its receipt of FDA approval of the Cerene&#8482; Cryotherapy Device. Trial testimony was taken in April 2019, and the post-trial briefing and hearing have been completed. During the third quarter of 2019, Channel notified us that they were exercising their option to sell the remaining equity interests in Channel to us. We responded to the notification that we did not intend to purchase Channel since the previous agreement had been terminated. On December 18, 2019, the Chancery Court ruled that Boston Scientific was in breach of the agreement and granted Channel's request for specific performance to require the Company to complete the purchase. On January 10, 2020, we filed a Notice of Appeal of the Chancery Court&#8217;s decision to the Delaware Supreme Court. On February 4, 2020, the Company settled the dispute with Channel resulting in termination of the agreement, payment by the Company of an undisclosed sum and surrender of the Company's equity interest in Channel.</span></div><span></span>

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are generally not recorded on the balance sheet, unless the arrangement includes an option to purchase the underlying asset, or an option to renew the arrangement, that we are reasonably certain to exercise (short-term leases). We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term for short-term leases that we do not record on our balance sheet. If there is a change in our assessment of the lease term and, as a result, the remaining lease term extends more than 12 months from the end of the previously determined lease term, or we subsequently become reasonably certain that we will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, the lease no longer meets the definition of a short-term lease and is accounted for as either an operating or finance lease and recognized on the balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">FASB ASC Topic 842</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> as discussed in </span><span style="font-style:italic;">Note A &#8211; Significant Accounting Policies</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. Beginning in 2019, we account for the lease components and the non-lease components as a single lease component, with the exception of our warehouse leases. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>1 year</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> to approximately </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>60 years</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, some of which may include options to extend the leases for up to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>10 years</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. If we are reasonably certain we will exercise an option to extend the lease, the time period covered by the extension option is included in the lease term.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We determine whether an arrangement is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present at the inception of the arrangement. Operating lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, we utilize the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. </span></div><div
