Equity [Abstract] |
Envista Initial Public Offering | ENVISTA INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING On September 20, 2019, Envista, a subsidiary of the Company, completed an underwritten initial public offering (the “Envista IPO”) of 30.8 million shares of its common stock, which represents 19.4% of Envista’s outstanding shares, at a public offering price of $22.00 per share (the “IPO price”). Envista shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “NVST”. Envista realized net proceeds of $643 million from the Envista IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and deal expenses. In connection with the completion of the Envista IPO, through a series of equity and other transactions, the Company transferred its dental businesses to Envista. In exchange, Envista transferred consideration of approximately $2.0 billion to the Company, which consists primarily of the net proceeds from the Envista IPO and approximately $1.3 billion of proceeds from Envista’s term debt financing. The excess of the net book value of the business transferred to Envista over the net proceeds from the IPO was $60 million and was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. Of the Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents as of September 27, 2019, $193 million is owned by Envista. Danaher continues to consolidate Envista, as the Company owns 80.6% of Envista’s outstanding common shares and retains control over Envista. The earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Envista for the period from the Envista IPO until September 27, 2019 were $6 million. As of September 27, 2019, the noncontrolling interest of $681 million associated with Envista is reflected in noncontrolling interests in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. Danaher intends to use a portion of the consideration received from Envista to redeem $882 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness in the fourth quarter of 2019 (consisting of the Company’s 2.4% senior unsecured notes due 2020 and 5.0% senior unsecured notes due 2020. The Company expects the make-whole premiums required in connection with the redemption will be $7 million ($5 million after-tax or $0.01 per diluted share). The Company intends to use the balance of the consideration it received from Envista for quarterly cash dividend payments to its shareholders. The Company intends to make a tax-free distribution to its stockholders of all or a portion of its remaining equity interest in Envista, which may include one or more distributions effected as a dividend to all Danaher stockholders, one or more distributions in exchange for Danaher shares or other securities or any combination thereof (the “Distribution”). The Company has no obligation to pursue or consummate any further dispositions of its ownership interest in Envista, including through the Distribution, by any specified date or at all. If pursued, the Distribution may be subject to various conditions, including receipt of any necessary regulatory or other approvals, the existence of satisfactory market conditions and the receipt of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the separation, together with such Distribution, will be tax-free to Danaher and its stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
