DANAHER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1. GENERAL
The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by Danaher Corporation (“Danaher” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In this quarterly report, the terms “Danaher” or the “Company” refer to Danaher Corporation, Danaher Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, or the consolidated subsidiaries of Danaher Corporation, as the context requires. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 21, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”).
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, its results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023 and its cash flows for each of the six-month periods then ended.
There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report that have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related Notes. Reclassifications of certain prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted—In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires additional disclosures about reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted the ASU and it will first apply to the Company’s annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2024, which the Company is in the process of drafting.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted—In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU expands disclosures in the income tax rate reconciliations table and cash taxes paid and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is assessing the impact of the ASU on the Company’s disclosures.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets—Prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily result from advance payments to vendors for good and services which are capitalized until the related goods are received or services are performed and advance payments to tax authorities. The Company’s prepaid expenses and other current assets balances as of June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are primarily comprised of prepaid expenses of $581 million and $771 million, respectively, and taxes receivable for income and other taxes of $613 million and $715 million, respectively.
Operating Leases—As of June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, operating lease right-of-use assets where the Company was the lessee were approximately $1.1 billion and are included within other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The associated operating lease liabilities were approximately $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion as of June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Contingencies—The Company reviews the adequacy of its legal reserves on a quarterly basis and establishes reserves for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. For a further description of the Company’s litigation and contingencies, refer to Note 18 of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
For a description of the Company’s acquisition activity for the year ended December 31, 2023, reference is made to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Note 2 thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.

The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit with the Company’s existing portfolio or expand the Company’s portfolio into a new and attractive business area. The Company has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as purchases and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s financial statements. This goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these businesses exceed the fair value of acquired identifiable net assets due to the purchase prices reflecting a number of factors including the future earnings and cash flow potential of these businesses, the multiple to earnings, cash flow and other factors at which similar businesses have been purchased by other acquirers, the competitive nature of the processes by which the Company acquired the businesses, the avoidance of the time and costs which would be required (and the associated risks that would be encountered) to enhance the Company’s existing product offerings to key target markets and enter into new and profitable businesses and the complementary strategic fit and resulting synergies these businesses bring to existing operations.
The Company makes an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based upon its understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company obtains the information used for the purchase price allocation during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, as the Company obtains additional information about the acquired assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and learns more about the newly acquired business, it is able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. The fair values of acquired intangibles are determined based on estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by the Company. Significant assumptions include the discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted results of the acquired business including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), revenue, revenue growth rates, royalty rates and technology obsolescence rates. These assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. The Company engages third-party valuation specialists who review the Company’s critical assumptions and calculations of the fair value of acquired intangible assets in connection with significant acquisitions. O nly facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment.
During the six-month period ended June 28, 2024, the Company acquired one business for total consideration of $12 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The business acquired complements existing units of the Company’s Life Sciences segment. The aggregate annual sales of the business acquired in 2024 at the time of acquisition, based on the company’s revenues for its last completed fiscal year prior to the acquisition, were less than $3 million. The Company is continuing to evaluate certain pre-acquisition contingencies associated with the 2023 acquisition of Abcam plc (“Abcam”) and its 2024 acquisition and is also in the process of obtaining valuations of certain acquisition-related assets and liabilities in connection with these acquisitions. T he Company will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma information for the periods set forth below gives effect to the 2023 and 2024 acquisitions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2023, including the results from operations for the acquired businesses as well as the impact of assumed financing of the transaction and the impact of the purchase price allocation (including the amortization of acquired intangible assets). The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisitions been consummated as of that time ($ in millions, except per share amounts):

| Three-Month Period Ended |  | Six-Month Period Ended

Diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations (a) | 1.22 |  |  | 1.15 |  |  | 2.70 |  |  | 2.65 |

(a) Diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 is calculated by deducting the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) dividends from net earnings from continuing operations for the anti-dilutive MCPS shares (refer to Note 4 for additional information).
The six-month period ended June 28, 2024 unaudited proforma net earnings from continuing operations set forth above were adjusted to exclude the pretax impact of a $25 million non-recurring acquisition date fair value adjustment to inventory. The six-month period ended June 30, 2023 unaudited proforma net earnings from continuing operations were adjusted to include the pretax impact of $92 million non-recurring acquisition date fair value adjustments to inventory and the settlement of pre-acquisition share-based payment awards related to the acquisition of Abcam, reflecting these fourth quarter of 2023 and first quarter of 2024 charges as if the acquisition had occurred as of January 1, 2023.

NOTE 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On September 30, 2023, the Company completed the separation (the “Separation”) of Veralto Corporation (“Veralto”). For additional details on the Separation, reference is made to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Note 3 thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting requirements for reporting the Separation of Veralto as a discontinued operation were met when the Separation was completed. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for all periods presented reflect this business as a discontinued operation.
In connection with the Separation, Danaher and Veralto entered into various agreements to effect the Separation and provide a framework for their relationship after the Separation, including a separation and distribution agreement, transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement and a Danaher Business System license agreement. These agreements provide for the allocation between Danaher and Veralto of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after Veralto’s separation from Danaher and govern certain relationships between Danaher and Veralto after the Separation.
The key components of income from discontinued operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 were as follows ($ in millions):

| Three-Month Period Ended |  | Six-Month Period Ended
Sales | $ | 1,245 |  |  | $ | 2,463 |
Cost of sales | (522) |  |  | (1,032) |
Selling, general and administrative expenses | (400) |  |  | (775) |
Research and development expenses | (57) |  |  | (113) |
Other income (expense) | (14) |  |  | (14) |
Interest expense | (2) |  |  | (4) |
Income from discontinued operations before income taxes | 250 |  |  | 525 |
Income tax expense | (64) |  |  | (129) |
Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes | $ | 186 |  |  | $ | 396 |

NOTE 4. NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net earnings per common share from continuing operations (“EPS”) is calculated by taking net earnings from continuing operations less the MCPS dividends divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted net EPS from continuing operations is computed by taking net earnings from continuing operations less the MCPS dividends divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding had the potentially dilutive common shares been issued and reduced by the number of shares the Company could have repurchased with the proceeds from the issuance of the potentially dilutive shares. For the three-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, approximately 2.9 million and 4.7 million options, respectively, and for the six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, approximately 1.7 million and 3.5 million options, respectively, to purchase shares were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation, as the impact of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted EPS are computed independently for each quarter and year-to-date period, and each period involves the use of different weighted-average share count figures. As a result, and after factoring the effect of rounding to the nearest cent per share, the sum of prior quarterly EPS figures may not equal year-to-date EPS.
The impact of the MCPS Series B calculated under the if-converted method was dilutive for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, and as such 1.5 million shares underlying the MCPS Series B were included in the calculation of diluted EPS in the three-month period. The impact of the MCPS Series B calculated under the if-converted method was anti-dilutive for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, and as such 5.1 million shares underlying the MCPS Series B were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS and the related MCPS dividends of $21 million were included in the calculation of net earnings for diluted EPS. As of April 17, 2023, all outstanding shares of the MCPS converted into 8.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

(a) The Company defines North America as the United States and Canada.
(b) The Company defines other developed markets as all the markets of the world that are not North America, Western Europe or high-growth markets.
(c) The Company defines high-growth markets as developing markets of the world experiencing accelerated growth, over extended periods, in gross domestic product and infrastructure which include Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America (including Mexico) and Asia (with the exception of Japan, Australia and New Zealand). The Company defines developed markets as all markets of the world that are not high-growth markets.
The Company’s products and services primarily consist of life sciences research, biopharmaceutical drug production and medical diagnostic, products and services. The Company sells equipment to customers as well as consumables, software and services, some of which customers purchase on a recurring basis. Consumables sold for use with the equipment sold by the Company are typically critical to the use of the equipment and are typically used on a one-time or limited basis, requiring frequent replacement in the customer’s operating cycle. Examples of these consumables include reagents used in diagnostic tests, chromatography resins used for research and bioprocessing and filters used in filtration, separation and purification processes. Additionally, some of the Company’s consumables are used on a standalone basis, such as custom nucleic acids, genomics solutions, antibodies and immunoassays. The Company separates its goods and services between those typically sold to a customer on a recurring basis and those typically sold to a customer on a nonrecurring basis. Recurring revenue includes revenue from consumables (both used with Company equipment and used on a standalone basis), services and operating-type leases (“OTLs”). Nonrecurring revenue includes sales of equipment and sales-type leases (“STLs”). OTLs and STLs are included in the above revenue amounts. For the three-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, lease revenue was $95 million and $98 million, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, lease revenue was $194 million and $199 million, respectively.
Remaining performance obligations related to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term greater than one year which are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period. As of June 28, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $4.5 billion. The Company expects to
11

Table of Contents
recognize revenue on approximately 51% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, 26% over the subsequent 12 months, and the remainder recognized thereafter.
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (“contract assets”) and deferred revenue, customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (“contract liabilities”) on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.
The Company often receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance resulting in contract liabilities that are classified as either current or long-term in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. As of June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract liabilities were approximately $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, and are included within accrued expenses and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The decrease in the contract liability balance during the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 was primarily a result of amounts recognized as revenue, partially offset by cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations. Revenue recognized during the six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023 that was included in the contract liability balance on December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $901 million and $892 million, respectively.
NOTE 6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates and reports its results in business segments consisting of the Biotechnology, Life Sciences and Diagnostics segments. Operating profit represents total revenues less operating expenses, excluding nonoperating income and expense, interest and income taxes. Operating profit amounts in the Other segment consist of unallocated corporate costs and other costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of reportable segment operating performance. Intersegment amounts are not significant and are eliminated to arrive at consolidated totals.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes the Company’s effective tax rate:

| Three-Month Period Ended |  | Six-Month Period Ended
| June 28, 2024 |  | June 30, 2023 |  | June 28, 2024 |  | June 30, 2023
Effective tax rate | 16.3 | % |  | 19.4 | % |  | 15.3 | % |  | 18.9 | %

The Company operates globally, including in certain jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States (“U.S.”) federal statutory rate. Therefore, the impact of operating in such jurisdictions contributes to a lower effective tax rate compared to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the impact of the Company’s global operations, research tax credits, foreign-derived intangible income and aggregate net discrete benefits of $9 million related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. The aggregate net discrete benefits reduced the effective tax rate by 0.8% for the three-month period ended June 28, 2024.

Table of Contents
The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the impact of the Company’s global operations, research tax credits, foreign-derived intangible income and aggregate net discrete benefits of $45 million related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitation and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. The aggregate net discrete benefits reduced the effective tax rate by 1.9% for the six-month period ended June 28, 2024.
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the impact of its global operations, research tax credits and foreign-derived intangible income, partially offset by net discrete tax charges of $19 million. Net discrete tax charges related primarily to tax costs related to the separation of the Environmental & Applied Solutions business, tax costs related to legal and operational actions taken to realign certain businesses and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions, partially offset by interest on prior year tax refunds. The net discrete charges increased the effective tax rate by 1.7% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.

The net discrete charges increased the effective tax rate by 0.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) proposed significant adjustments to the Company’s taxable income for the years 2016 through 2018 with respect to the deferral of tax on certain premium income related to the Company’s self-insurance programs. For income tax purposes, the recognition of premium income has been deferred in accordance with U.S. tax laws related to insurance. The proposed adjustments would have increased the Company’s taxable income over the 2016 through 2018 periods by approximately $2.5 billion. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company settled these proposed adjustments with the IRS, although the audit is still open with respect to other matters for the 2016 through 2018 period. The impact of the settlement with respect to the Company’s self-insurance policies was not material to the Company’s financial statements, including cash flows and the effective tax rate. As the settlement with the IRS was specific to the audit period, the settlement does not preclude the IRS from proposing similar adjustments to the Company’s self-insurance programs with respect to periods subsequent to 2018. Management believes the positions the Company has taken in its U.S. tax returns are in accordance with the relevant tax laws.
For a description of the Company’s significant tax matters, reference is made to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Note 7 thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.

Other Components of Net Periodic Benefit Costs
The Company disaggregates the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs of noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement employee benefit plans. The service cost component is presented in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses. The other components of net periodic benefit costs are presented in other income (expense), net. These other components of net periodic benefit costs include the assumed rate of return on plan assets, partially offset by amortization of actuarial losses and interest.

For investments in equity securities without readily available fair values, the Company has elected the measurement alternative to record these investments at cost and to adjust for impairments and observable price changes with a same or similar security from the same issuer within net earnings (the “Fair Value Alternative”). Additionally, the Company is a limited partner in partnerships that invest primarily in early-stage companies. While the partnerships record these investments at fair value, the Company’s investments in the partnerships are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The investment gains (losses) include realized and unrealized gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of the Company’s investments in equity securities and the Company’s equity in earnings of the partnerships that reflect the changes in fair value of the investments of the partnerships, and related management fees and operating expenses.
NOTE 9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The following is a rollforward of the Company’s goodwill ($ in millions):

Balance, December 31, 2023 | $ | 41,608 |
Attributable to 2024 acquisition | 8 |
Adjustments due to finalization of purchase price allocations | (25) |
Foreign currency translation and other | (786) |
Balance, June 28, 2024 | $ | 40,805 |

The carrying value of goodwill by segment is summarized as follows ($ in millions):

| June 28, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Biotechnology | $ | 21,879 |  |  | $ | 22,477 |
Life Sciences | 12,090 |  |  | 12,221 |
Diagnostics | 6,836 |  |  | 6,910 |
Total | $ | 40,805 |  |  | $ | 41,608 |

The Company has not identified any “triggering” events which indicate an impairment of goodwill in 2024.
The Company reviews identified intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company has not identified impairment triggers which resulted in impairments of intangible assets in the second quarter of 2024. The Company identified impairment triggers in the second quarter of 2023 which resulted in impairment charges of certain long-lived assets, including technology and other assets. The Company recorded impairment charges totaling $28 million in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 related to these long-lived assets. In addition, during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $14 million impairment related to a facility.
NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value where the Company’s assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value and provide for certain disclosures related to the valuation methods used within a valuation hierarchy as established within the accounting standards. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other observable characteristics for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Cross-currency swap derivative contracts | 476 |  |  | 291 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 476 |  |  | 291 |  |  | — |  |  | — |

Available-for-sale debt securities, which are included in other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, are measured at fair value using quoted prices reported by investment brokers and dealers based on the underlying terms of the security and comparison to similar securities traded on an active market. As of December 31, 2023, available-for-sale debt securities primarily included U.S. Treasury Notes and corporate debt securities.
The Company’s investments in equity securities consist of investments in publicly traded equity securities and investments in non-marketable equity securities. The publicly traded securities are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as they are measured based on quotes in active markets. For the non-marketable equity securities, the Company estimates the fair value of the investments using the Fair Value Alternative. The Company’s investments in these equity securities are not classified in the fair value hierarchy due to the use of these measurement methods. Additionally, the Company is a limited partner in partnerships that invest primarily in early-stage companies. While the partnerships record these investments at fair value, the Company’s investments in the partnerships are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are not subject to fair value measurement disclosures noted above. As of June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s equity method investments included investments in partnerships with a carrying value of approximately $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on gains and losses on the Company’s investments including investments in the partnerships.
The cross-currency swap derivative contracts are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they are measured using the income approach with the relevant interest rates and current currency exchange rates and forward curves as inputs. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments were as follows ($ in millions):

| June 28, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
| Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value
Debt obligations: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Notes payable and current portion of long-term debt | $ | 701 |  |  | $ | 692 |  |  | $ | 1,695 |  |  | $ | 1,672 |
Long-term debt | 16,309 |  |  | 13,584 |  |  | 16,707 |  |  | 14,415 |

As of June 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, short and long-term borrowings were categorized as Level 1. The fair value of long-term borrowings was based on quoted market prices. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amounts of long-term borrowings is attributable to changes in market interest rates and/or the Company’s credit ratings subsequent to the incurrence of the borrowing. The fair values of borrowings with original maturities of one year or less, as well as cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, net and trade accounts payable generally approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

The Company’s $5.0 billion unsecured, multi-year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that expires on August 11, 2028 (the “Credit Facility”), is available for direct borrowings and provides credit support for the commercial paper programs. For a description of the Credit Facility, refer to the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.

Table of Contents
As of June 28, 2024, borrowings outstanding under the Company’s euro-denominated commercial paper program had a weighted average annual interest rate of 4.0% and a weighted average remaining maturity of approximately 48 days. There were no borrowings outstanding under the U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper program as of June 28, 2024.
Guarantors of Debt
The Company has guaranteed long-term debt and commercial paper issued by certain of its wholly-owned finance subsidiaries: Danaher International, Danaher International II, Danaher Switzerland and Danaher Japan. All of the outstanding and future securities issued by each of these entities are or will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and these guarantees rank on parity with the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
Long-Term Debt Repayments
On April 2, 2024, the Company repaid the €900 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Euronotes upon their maturity using cash distributions received from Veralto prior to the Separation.
NOTE 12. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses cross-currency swap derivative contracts to partially hedge its net investments in non-U.S. operations against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Danish kroner, Japanese yen, euro and Swiss franc. These contracts are agreements to exchange fixed-rate payments in one currency for fixed-rate payments in another currency and effectively convert U.S. dollar-denominated bonds to obligations denominated in the hedged currency. These contracts also reduce the interest rate from the stated interest rates on the U.S. dollar-denominated debt to the interest rates of the swaps. The changes in the spot rate of these instruments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) in stockholders’ equity, partially offsetting the foreign currency translation adjustment of the Company’s related net investment that is also recorded in accumulated OCI. The interest income or expense from these swaps are recorded in interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings consistent with the classification of interest expense attributable to the underlying debt. These instruments mature on dates ranging from September 2025 to December 2031.
The Company also uses cross-currency swap derivative contracts to hedge U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt issuances in a foreign subsidiary whose functional currency is the euro against adverse movements in exchange rates. These contracts effectively convert these U.S. dollar-denominated bonds to obligations denominated in euro. The changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in accumulated OCI and are subsequently reclassified to net earnings to offset the remeasurement of the hedged debt that is also recorded in net earnings. The interest income or expense from these swaps are recorded in interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings consistent with the classification of interest expense attributable to the underlying debt. These instruments mature on dates ranging from November 2024 to November 2049.
The Company has also issued foreign currency denominated long-term debt as partial hedges of its net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the euro, Japanese yen and Swiss franc. These debt issuances are designated and qualify as nonderivative hedging instruments. Accordingly, the foreign currency translation of these debt instruments is recorded in accumulated OCI, offsetting the foreign currency translation adjustment of the Company’s related net investment that is also recorded in accumulated OCI. These instruments mature on dates ranging from July 2024 to May 2032.
The Company used interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability in cash flows due to changes in benchmark interest rates related to a portion of the debt the Company issued. These contracts effectively fixed the interest rate for a portion of the Company’s debt equal to the notional amount of the swaps to the rate specified in the interest rate swap agreements and were settled in November 2019 and December 2021. The changes in the fair value of these instruments were recorded in accumulated OCI prior to the issuance of the debt and are subsequently being reclassified to interest expense over the life of the related debt.

Gains or losses related to the net investment hedges are classified as foreign currency translation adjustments in the schedule of changes in OCI in Note 13, as these items are attributable to the Company’s hedges of its net investment in foreign operations. Gains or losses related to the cash flow hedges are classified as cash flow hedge adjustments in the schedule of changes in OCI in Note 13. The amount reclassified from OCI for the cross-currency swap derivative contracts that are cash flow hedges of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated debt was equal to the remeasurement amount recorded in the three and six-month periods on the hedged debt.

Table of Contents
The Company did not reclassify any other deferred gains or losses related to net investment hedges or cash flow hedges from accumulated OCI to earnings during the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023. In addition, the Company did not have any ineffectiveness related to net investment hedges or cash flow hedges during the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023. Should any ineffectiveness arise, any ineffective portions of the hedges would be reclassified from accumulated OCI into earnings during the period of change. The cash inflows and outflows associated with the Company’s derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges are classified in all other investing activities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. The cash inflows and outflows associated with the Company’s derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges are classified in cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company’s derivative instruments, as well as its nonderivative debt instruments designated and qualifying as net investment hedges, were classified in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as follows ($ in millions):

NOTE 13. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stockholders’ Equity
On July 16, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 17.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock for approximately $4.6 billion (which includes $46 million of excise taxes which will be paid in 2025) as part of the Repurchase Program. As of June 28, 2024, approximately 2.6 million shares remained available for repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Program. In July 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 1.9 million shares under the Repurchase Program. On July 22, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new repurchase program (the “New Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to an additional 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions (in addition to the shares remaining available for repurchase under the Repurchase Program). There is no expiration date for either the Repurchase Program or the New Repurchase Program, and the timing and amount of any shares repurchased under either program will be determined by members of the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. Either program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with the Company’s equity compensation plans (or any successor plans) and for other corporate purposes.

Stock-based compensation has been recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. As of June 28, 2024, $202 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs/PSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years. As of June 28, 2024, $230 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years. Future compensation amounts will be adjusted for any changes in estimated forfeitures.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated OCI refers to certain gains and losses that under U.S. GAAP are included in comprehensive income (loss) but are excluded from net earnings as these amounts are initially recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency translation adjustments generally relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries, as well as the impact from the Company’s hedges of its net investment in foreign operations, including the Company’s cross-currency swap derivatives, net of any income tax impacts.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide material information relevant to an assessment of Danaher Corporation’s (“Danaher,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) financial condition and results of operations, including an evaluation of the amounts and certainty of cash flows from operations and from outside sources. The MD&A is designed to focus specifically on material events and uncertainties known to management that are reasonably likely to cause reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results or of future financial condition. This includes descriptions and amounts of matters that have had a material impact on reported operations, as well as matters that are reasonably likely based on management’s assessment to have a material impact on future operations. The Company’s MD&A is divided into five sections:
•Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
•Overview
•Results of Operations
•Liquidity and Capital Resources
•Critical Accounting Estimates
You should read this discussion along with the Company’s MD&A and audited financial statements and Notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report and the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and related Notes as of and for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”).
INFORMATION RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this Report, in other documents we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our press releases, webcasts, conference calls, materials delivered to shareholders and other communications, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. All statements other than historical factual information are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding: projections of revenue, expenses, profit, profit margins, pricing, tax rates, tax provisions, cash flows, pension and benefit obligations and funding requirements, asset values, our liquidity position or other projected financial measures; management’s plans and strategies for future operations, including statements relating to anticipated operating performance, customer demand, cost reductions, restructuring activities, new product and service developments, competitive strengths or market position, acquisitions and the integration thereof, divestitures, spin-offs, split-offs, initial public offerings, other securities offerings, or other distributions, strategic opportunities, stock repurchases, dividends and executive compensation and potential executive stock sales or purchases; growth, declines and other trends in markets we sell into; new or modified laws, regulations and accounting pronouncements; future laws, regulations or public policy changes; regulatory approvals and the timing and conditionality thereof; outstanding claims, legal proceedings, tax audits and assessments and other contingent liabilities; future currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates; the potential or anticipated direct or indirect impact of public health crises, climate change, military conflicts or other man-made or natural disasters on our business, results of operations and/or financial condition; general economic and capital markets conditions; the anticipated timing of any of the foregoing; assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and any other statements that address events or developments that Danaher intends or believes will or may occur in the future. Terminology such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “forecast” and “positioned” and similar references to future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements are accompanied by such words.
Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from the results, developments and business decisions contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Important factors that in the future could cause actual results to differ materially from those envisaged in the forward-looking statements, and that in some cases have affected us in the past, include the following:
Business and Strategic Risks
•We face intense competition and if we are unable to compete effectively, we may experience decreased demand and decreased market share. Even if we compete effectively, we may be required to reduce the prices we charge.
23

Table of Contents
•Our growth depends on the timely development and commercialization, and customer acceptance, of new and enhanced products and services based on technological innovation. Our growth can also suffer if the markets into which we sell our products and services decline, do not grow as anticipated or experience cyclicality.
•The healthcare industry and related industries that we serve are undergoing significant changes in an effort to reduce (and increase the predictability of) costs, which can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
•Economic, political, geopolitical, legal, compliance, social and business factors (including the impact of military conflicts), both in the United States (“U.S.”) and outside the U.S., can negatively affect our business and financial statements. For example, elections in the U.S. and other countries may result in significant political shifts and/or disruptions, including changes in the regulatory environment, and recent Supreme Court decisions in the U.S. may also result in regulatory uncertainty.
•Uncertainties with respect to the development, deployment, and use of artificial intelligence in our business and products may result in harm to our business and reputation.
•Collaborative partners and other third-parties we rely on for development, supply and/or marketing of certain products, potential products and technologies could fail to perform sufficiently.
Acquisitions, Divestitures and Investment Risks
•Any inability to consummate acquisitions at our historical rate and appropriate prices, and to make appropriate investments that support our long-term strategy, could negatively impact our business. Our acquisition of businesses, investments, joint ventures and other strategic relationships could also negatively impact our business and financial statements and our indemnification rights may not fully protect us from liabilities related thereto.
•Divestitures or other dispositions could negatively impact our business, and contingent liabilities from businesses that we or our predecessors have previously disposed could adversely affect our business and financial statements. For example, we could incur significant liability if any of the split-off or spin-off transactions we have previously consummated are determined to be a taxable transaction or otherwise pursuant to our indemnification obligations with respect to such transactions.
Operational Risks
•Significant disruptions in, or breaches in security of, our information technology (“IT”) systems or data; data privacy violations; other losses or disruptions to facilities, supply chains, distribution systems or IT systems due to catastrophe; and labor disputes can all adversely affect our business and financial statements.
•Defects and unanticipated use or inadequate disclosure with respect to our products or services, or allegations thereof, can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
•Our financial results are subject to fluctuations in the cost and availability of the supplies we use in, and the labor we need for, our operations.
•Climate change, legal or regulatory measures to address climate change and any inability to address regulatory requirements or stakeholder expectations with respect to climate change, may negatively affect us.
•Our success depends on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate talented employees representing diverse backgrounds, experiences and skill sets.
•Our restructuring actions can have long-term adverse effects on our business and financial statements.
Intellectual Property Risks
•Any inability to adequately protect or avoid third-party infringement of our intellectual property, and third-party claims we are infringing intellectual property rights, can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
•The U.S. government has certain rights with respect to incremental production capacity attributable to, and/or the intellectual property we have developed using, government financing. In addition, in times of national emergency the U.S. government could also control our allocation of manufacturing capacity.
24

Table of Contents
Financial and Tax Risks
•Our outstanding debt has increased significantly as a result of acquisitions, and we may incur additional debt. Such indebtedness may limit our operations and use of cash flow and negatively impact our credit ratings; and failure to comply with our indebtedness-related covenants could adversely affect our business and financial statements.
•Our business and financial statements can be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rates, changes in our tax rates (including as a result of changes in tax laws) or income tax liabilities/assessments, the outcome of tax audits, recognition of impairment charges for our goodwill or other intangible assets, and fluctuations in the cost and availability of commodities.
Legal, Regulatory, Compliance and Reputational Risks
•Significant developments or changes in national laws or policies to protect or promote domestic interests and/or address foreign competition can have an adverse effect on our business and financial statements.
•Our businesses are subject to extensive regulation (including those applicable to the healthcare industry). Failure to comply with those regulations (including by our employees, agents or business partners) or significant developments or changes in U.S. laws or policies can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
•With respect to the regulated medical devices we offer, product introductions or modifications can require regulatory clearance or authorizations and we can be required to recall or cease marketing such products; off-label marketing can result in penalties; and clinical trials can have results that are unexpected or are perceived unfavorably by the market, all of which can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
•We are subject to or otherwise responsible for a variety of litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings in the course of our business that can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
•Our operations, products and services also expose us to the risk of environmental, health and safety liabilities, costs and violations that can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
•Our By-law exclusive forum provisions could limit our stockholders’ ability to choose their preferred judicial forum for disputes.
See “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s 2023 Annual Report for further discussion regarding reasons that actual results may differ materially from the results, developments and business decisions contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, document, press release, webcast, call, materials or other communication in which they are made. Except to the extent required by applicable law, we do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events and developments or otherwise.
OVERVIEW
General
As a result of the Company’s geographic and industry diversity, the Company faces a variety of opportunities and challenges, including rapid technological development in most of the Company’s served markets, the expansion and evolution of opportunities in high-growth markets, trends and costs associated with a global labor force, consolidation of the Company’s competitors and increasing regulation. The Company operates in a highly competitive business environment in most markets, and the Company’s long-term growth and profitability will depend in particular on its ability to expand its business in high-growth geographies and high-growth market segments, identify, consummate and integrate appropriate acquisitions and identify and consummate appropriate investments and strategic partnerships, develop innovative and differentiated new products and services with higher gross profit margins, expand and improve the effectiveness of the Company’s sales force, continue to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency and quality and effectively address the demands of an increasingly regulated global environment. The Company is making significant investments, organically and through acquisitions and investments, to address the rapid pace of technological change in its served markets and to globalize its manufacturing, research and development and customer-facing resources (particularly in high-growth markets) to be responsive to the Company’s customers throughout the world and improve the efficiency of the Company’s operations.

Business Performance and Outlook
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company’s overall revenues decreased 3.0% compared to the comparable period of 2023. Core sales decreased 3.5% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the comparable prior year period due primarily to lower core sales in the Biotechnology segment, and to a lesser extent in the Life Sciences segment, partially offset by increases in demand for certain products and services in the Diagnostics segment. The impact of currency translation decreased reported sales 1.5% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the comparable prior year period and the impact of acquisitions increased reported sales 2.0%. For the six-month period ended June 28, 2024, overall revenues decreased 2.5% and core sales decreased 3.5% compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to lower core sales in the Biotechnology segment, and to a lesser extent in the Life Sciences segment, partially offset by increases in demand for certain products and services in the Diagnostics segment. The impact of currency translation decreased reported sales 1.0% and the impact of acquisitions increased reported sales 2.0% in the six-month period compared to the comparable prior year period. Price increases contributed 1.0% and 1.5%, respectively, to sales growth on a year-over-year basis during the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and are reflected as a component of core sales decline above. For the definitions of “core sales” and “acquisitions” refer to “—Results of Operations” below.
Geographically, the Company’s sales in the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 in developed markets decreased year-over-year by 1% and core sales in the developed markets decreased at a low-single digit rate driven primarily by decreased sales in Western Europe, partially offset by increased sales in North America. The decline in core sales in developed markets was primarily driven by reduced demand in the Biotechnology and Life Sciences segments, partially offset by increased demand in the Diagnostics segment. For the same period, sales in high-growth markets decreased year-over-year by 8% and core sales in high-growth markets decreased at a high-single digit rate, due primarily to high-teens core revenue declines in China. The decline in core sales in high-growth markets was primarily driven by declines in the Life Sciences and Biotechnology segments primarily due to weakness in the funding environment and lower underlying activity levels. High-growth markets represented approximately 30% of the Company’s total sales in the second quarter of 2024. For additional information regarding the Company’s sales by geographical region during the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, refer to Note 5 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The Company’s net earnings from continuing operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 totaled $907 million and approximately $2.0 billion or $1.22 and $2.68 per diluted common share from continuing operations, respectively, compared to $920 million and approximately $2.2 billion or $1.24 and $2.89 per diluted common share from continuing operations, respectively, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023. Net earnings attributable to common stockholders for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 totaled $907 million and approximately $2.0 billion or $1.22 and $2.68 per diluted common share, respectively, compared to approximately $1.1 billion and $2.5 billion or $1.49 and $3.42 per diluted common share, respectively, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023. Decreased core sales and increased other expenses in the 2024 period drove the year-over-year decline in net earnings from continuing operations and diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024. In addition to the above factors, lower earnings from discontinued operations contributed to the lower net earnings in both the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024.
Currency exchange rates decreased reported sales by approximately 1.5% and 1.0% for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024, respectively, compared to the comparable periods of 2023, primarily due to the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar compared to the euro and other major currencies in 2024. Strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies compared to the exchange rates in effect as of June 28, 2024 would adversely impact the Company’s sales and results of operations on an overall basis, and any weakening of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies compared to the exchange rates in effect as of June 28, 2024 would positively impact the Company’s sales and results of operations for the remainder of the year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Non-GAAP Measures
In this report, references to the non-GAAP measure of core sales (also referred to as core revenues or sales/revenues from existing businesses) refer to sales calculated according to U.S. GAAP, but excluding:
•sales from acquired businesses (as defined below); and
•the impact of currency translation.
References to sales or operating profit attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to sales or operating profit, as applicable, from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less any sales and
26

Table of Contents
operating profit, during the applicable period, attributable to divested product lines not considered discontinued operations. The portion of revenue attributable to currency translation is calculated as the difference between:
•the period-to-period change in revenue (excluding sales from acquired businesses (as defined above)); and
•the period-to-period change in revenue (excluding sales from acquired businesses (as defined above)) after applying current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.
Core sales (decline) growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that reporting this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in Danaher’s business and facilitating comparisons of Danaher’s revenue performance with its performance in prior and future periods and to Danaher’s peers. Management also uses this non-GAAP financial measure to measure the Company’s operating and financial performance and uses core sales growth as one of the performance measures in the Company’s executive short-term cash incentive compensation program. The Company excludes the effect of currency translation from this measure because currency translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends, and excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestiture-related items because the nature, size, timing and number of acquisitions and divestitures can vary dramatically from period-to-period and between the Company and its peers and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
Throughout this discussion, references to sales growth or decline refer to the impact of both price and unit sales and references to productivity improvements generally refer to improved cost-efficiencies resulting from the ongoing application of the Danaher Business System.

Price increases in the segment contributed 2.5% to sales growth on a year-over-year basis during both the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and are reflected as a component of core sales decline above.
Total segment sales decreased 9.0% and 13.5% during the three and six-month periods, respectively, led by decreased core sales in the bioprocessing business, and to a lesser extent the impact of currency exchange rates. The decrease in total segment core sales was driven by Western Europe and China, and to a lesser extent North America. Core sales in the bioprocessing business decreased year-over-year at a high-single digit rate and a low-double digit rate during the three and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to lower demand as customers reduced their inventory levels. Revenue declines moderated compared to the first quarter 2024 as the Company believes that its larger customers in the

U.S. and Europe have, in aggregate, reduced the majority of their excess inventory levels and are returning to normal ordering patterns. Additionally, while the Company believes that emerging biotech customers are continuing to manage their liquidity, we also believe they are prioritizing select cell and gene therapy projects, and we further believe that the improvement in the overall funding environment in the period is a positive leading indicator for these customers. The Company expects core revenue for the bioprocessing business to decline for the full year 2024 on a year-over-year basis with an anticipated gradual year-over-year improvement in demand through the remainder of the year. Core sales in the discovery and medical business decreased year-over-year during both the three and six-month periods due primarily to lower demand for equipment, partially offset by an increase in demand for consumables.
Operating Profit Performance
Operating profit margins increased 150 basis points during the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable period of 2023.
Second quarter 2024 vs. second quarter 2023 operating profit margin comparisons were favorably impacted by:
•Second quarter 2023 impairment charges related to technology and other assets - 220 basis points
Second quarter 2024 vs. second quarter 2023 operating profit margin comparisons were unfavorably impacted by:
•Lower second quarter 2024 core sales, net of improvements in the Company’s operational and administrative cost structure, the impact of product mix and 2023 inventory write-offs - 70 basis points
Operating profit margins decreased 440 basis points during the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable period of 2023.
Year-to-date 2024 vs. year-to-date 2023 operating profit margin comparisons were unfavorably impacted by:
•Lower first half of 2024 core sales and the impact of product mix, net of improvements in the Company’s operational and administrative cost structure and 2023 inventory write-offs - 550 basis points
Year-to-date 2024 vs. year-to-date 2023 operating profit margin comparisons were favorably impacted by:
•Second quarter 2023 impairment charges related to technology and other assets - 110 basis points
Amortization of intangible assets as a percentage of sales increased during both the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable periods of 2023, primarily as a result of the decrease in sales.
LIFE SCIENCES
The Life Sciences segment offers a broad range of instruments, consumables, services and software that are primarily used by customers to study genomics and the basic building blocks of life, including DNA and RNA, nucleic acid, proteins, metabolites and cells, in order to understand the causes of disease, identify new therapies, and test and manufacture new drugs, vaccines and gene editing technologies.

Price increases in the segment contributed 1.0% and 1.5%, respectively, to sales growth on a year-over-year basis during the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and are reflected as a component of core sales decline.
Total segment sales decreased 1.5% during the three-month period ended June 28, 2024, primarily as a result of decreased segment core sales, and to a lesser extent the impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by acquisitions. Total segment sales increased 0.5% during the six-month period, primarily as a result of acquisitions, largely offset by decreased segment core sales, and to a lesser extent the impact of currency exchange rates. Core sales decreased in the three and six-month periods across most major geographic regions, led by China. The core sales decline in the mass spectrometry, flow cytometry and lab automation solutions and microscopy businesses in both periods was primarily the result of demand weakness in equipment, in most major end-markets, partially offset by increased demand for consumables and service. Core sales also declined in the three-month period in the genomics consumables business led by lower core sales in the plasmids, proteins and next-generation sequencing product lines, partially offset by increased demand in the gene writing and editing product line. The core sales decline in the genomics consumables business during the six-month period was driven by lower demand in next-generation sequencing, partially offset by higher demand for plasmids and proteins.
Operating Profit Performance
Operating profit margins decreased 570 basis points during the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable period of 2023. The following factors unfavorably impacted year-over-year operating profit margin:
•Lower second quarter 2024 core sales and the impact of product mix, net of improvements in the Company’s operational and administrative cost structure - 340 basis points
•The incremental dilutive effect in 2024 of acquired businesses - 230 basis points
Operating profit margins decreased 560 basis points during the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable period of 2023. The following factors unfavorably impacted year-over-year operating profit margin:

Price increases in the segment did not have a significant impact on sales growth on a year-over-year basis during the three-month period but contributed 0.5% to sales growth during the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 and are reflected as a component of core sales growth.
Total segment sales increased 1.5% and 4.0%, respectively, during the three and six-month periods, primarily as a result of increased core sales resulting from the factors discussed below. Changes in currency exchange rates negatively impacted sales in both periods. Overall segment core sales growth in both periods was driven primarily by North America, partially offset by lower year-over-year demand in the high-growth markets. During both the three and six-month periods, core sales in the segment’s clinical diagnostics businesses grew on a year-over-year basis led by the clinical lab business, primarily in North America and the high-growth markets, and to a lesser extent, by the pathology and acute care businesses. Core sales in the molecular diagnostics business declined slightly during the three-month period as lower year-over-year demand in Western Europe and the high-growth markets offset increased core sales of both respiratory and non-respiratory disease tests in North America. For the six-month period, core sales in the molecular diagnostics business grew on a year-over-year basis, led by North America, as the business experienced increased sales of both respiratory and non-respiratory disease tests.
Operating Profit Performance
Operating profit margin increased 560 basis points during the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable period of 2023.

Cost of sales decreased year-over-year during both the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable periods in 2023, primarily due to the impact of lower year-over-year sales volumes and $87 million of charges incurred in the second quarter of 2023 related to inventory, partially offset by the impact of recently acquired businesses. Additionally, an acquisition-related charge associated with the fair value adjustment to inventory recorded in connection with the acquisition of Abcam increased cost of sales by $25 million in the six-month period ended June 28, 2024.
Year-over-year gross profit margin increased during both the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable period in 2023. These increases were due primarily to inventory charges incurred in the second quarter of 2023 and the positive impact from the gross profit margin of Abcam, net of the impact of product mix and an acquisition-related charge recorded in the first half of 2024 referenced above.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased during both the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable periods in 2023, primarily driven by the impact of the acquisition of Abcam, including the associated amortization expense. To a lesser extent, the increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales was driven by decreased leverage of the Company’s general and administrative cost base, including amortization expense, resulting from lower 2024 sales.
R&D expenses (consisting principally of internal and contract engineering personnel costs) as a percentage of sales increased during both the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable periods of 2023 as a result of increased spending on R&D activities and the impact of lower year-over-year sales.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes the Company’s effective tax rate:

| Three-Month Period Ended |  | Six-Month Period Ended
| June 28, 2024 |  | June 30, 2023 |  | June 28, 2024 |  | June 30, 2023
Effective tax rate | 16.3 | % |  | 19.4 | % |  | 15.3 | % |  | 18.9 | %

The Company operates globally, including in certain jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate. Therefore, the impact of operating in such jurisdictions contributes to a lower effective tax rate compared to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the impact of the Company’s global operations, research tax credits, foreign-derived intangible income and aggregate net discrete benefits of $9 million related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. The aggregate net discrete benefits reduced the effective tax rate by 0.8% for the three-month period ended June 28, 2024.
The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the impact of the Company’s global operations, research tax credits, foreign-derived intangible income and aggregate net discrete benefits of $45 million related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitation and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. The aggregate net discrete benefits reduced the effective tax rate by 1.9% for the six-month period ended June 28, 2024.
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the impact of its global operations, research tax credits and foreign-derived intangible income, partially offset by net discrete tax charges of $19 million. Net discrete tax charges related primarily to tax costs related to the separation of the Environmental & Applied Solutions business, tax costs related to legal and operational actions taken to realign certain businesses and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions, partially offset by interest on prior year tax refunds. The net discrete charges increased the effective tax rate by 1.7% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.
The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the impact of its global operations, research tax credits and foreign-derived intangible income, partially offset by net discrete tax charges of $19 million. Net discrete tax charges related primarily to tax costs related to the separation of the Environmental & Applied Solutions business, tax costs related to legal and operational actions taken to realign certain businesses and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions, partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and interest on prior year tax refunds. The net discrete charges increased the effective tax rate by 0.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.
The Company (including its subsidiaries) conducts business globally, and files numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. In addition to the Company’s significant presence in the U.S., the Company also has a significant presence in China, Denmark, Germany, Singapore, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Excluding these jurisdictions, the Company believes that a change in the statutory tax rate of any individual foreign country would not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements given the geographical dispersion of the Company’s taxable income.
The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely examined by various domestic and international taxing authorities. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has completed the examinations of substantially all of the Company’s federal income tax returns through 2015 and is currently examining certain of the Company’s federal income tax returns for 2016 through 2022. In addition, the Company has subsidiaries in Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and various other countries, states and provinces that are currently under audit for years ranging from 2004 through 2023.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the IRS proposed significant adjustments to the Company’s taxable income for the years 2016 through 2018 with respect to the deferral of tax on certain premium income related to the Company’s self-insurance programs. For income tax purposes, the recognition of premium income has been deferred in accordance with U.S. tax laws related to insurance. The proposed adjustments would have increased the Company’s taxable income over the 2016 through 2018 periods by approximately $2.5 billion. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company settled these proposed adjustments with the IRS, although the audit is still open with respect to other matters for the 2016 through 2018 period. The impact of the settlement with respect to the Company’s self-insurance policies was not material to the Company’s financial statements, including cash flows and the effective tax rate. As the settlement with the IRS was specific to the audit period, the settlement does not preclude the IRS from proposing similar adjustments to the Company’s self-
33

insurance programs with respect to periods subsequent to 2018. Management believes the positions the Company has taken in its U.S. tax returns are in accordance with the relevant tax laws.
The Company expects its effective tax rate for the remainder of 2024 to be approximately 17.5% based on its projected mix of earnings. The Company’s effective tax rate could vary as a result of many factors, including but not limited to the following:
•The expected rate for the remainder of 2024 includes the anticipated discrete income tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to the Company’s stock compensation programs, which are reflected as a reduction in tax expense, though the actual benefits (if any) will depend on the Company’s stock price and stock option exercise patterns.
•The actual mix of earnings by jurisdiction could fluctuate from the Company’s projection.
•The tax effects of other discrete items, including accruals related to tax contingencies, the resolution of worldwide tax matters, tax audit settlements, statute of limitations expirations and changes in tax regulations.
•Any future changes in tax law or the implementation of increases in tax rates, the impact of future regulations and any related additional tax planning efforts to address these changes.
As a result of the uncertainty in predicting these items, it is reasonably possible that the actual effective tax rate used for financial reporting purposes will change in future periods.
Refer to Note 7 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for discussion regarding the Company’s significant tax matters.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income increased $764 million for the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 and decreased $700 million for the six-month period ended June 28, 2024, as compared to the comparable periods of 2023. For the three-month period ended June 28, 2024, the increase in comprehensive income was primarily driven by increased gains from foreign currency translation adjustments, partially offset by lower net earnings. For the six-month period ended June 28, 2024, the decrease in comprehensive income was primarily driven by lower net earnings and increased losses from foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company recorded foreign currency translation gains of $121 million for the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 compared to losses of $704 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. The Company recorded foreign currency translation losses of $827 million and $679 million for the six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The foreign currency translation gains in the three-month period ended June 28, 2024 and losses in the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 were primarily driven by the change in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Swedish krona and the euro. Foreign currency translation adjustments reflect the gain or loss resulting from the impact of the change in currency exchange rates on the Company’s foreign operations as they are translated to the Company’s reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. The Company recorded gains of $30 million and losses of $20 million from cash flow hedge adjustments related to the Company’s cross-currency swap derivative contracts for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024, respectively, as compared to losses of $106 million and $25 million for the comparable periods of 2023.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management assesses the Company’s liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company continues to generate substantial cash from operating activities and believes that its operating cash flow, cash on hand and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient to allow it to continue investing in existing businesses (including capital expenditures), consummating strategic acquisitions and investments, paying interest and servicing debt, paying dividends and funding restructuring activities, as well as to repurchase common stock when deemed appropriate and manage its capital structure on a short-term and long-term basis.
The Company has relied primarily on borrowings under its commercial paper program to address liquidity requirements that exceed the capacity provided by its operating cash flows and cash on hand, while also accessing the capital markets from time to time including to secure financing for more significant acquisitions. Subject to any limitations that may result from market disruptions, the Company anticipates following the same approach in the future.

•Operating cash flows from continuing operations decreased $296 million, or 9%, during the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 as compared to the comparable period of 2023, due to higher cash used in aggregate for accounts receivables, inventories, trade accounts payable and prepaid and accrued expenses, including deferred taxes, in the 2024 period compared to the 2023 period, partially offset by higher net earnings (after excluding charges for depreciation, amortization (including intangible assets and inventory step-up), stock compensation and unrealized investment gains/losses) in the 2024 period compared to the 2023 period.
•Net cash used in investing activities for continuing operations in the 2024 period consisted primarily of cash paid for capital expenditures and investments and decreased year-over-year as a result of lower cash paid for capital expenditures and investments in the 2024 period compared to the 2023 period.
•As of June 28, 2024, the Company held approximately $2.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents.
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period as working capital needs and the timing of payments for income taxes, restructuring activities and productivity improvement initiatives and other items impact reported cash flows.
Operating cash flows from continuing operations were approximately $3.2 billion for the first six months of 2024, a decrease of $296 million, or 9%, as compared to the comparable period of 2023. The year-over-year change in operating cash flows from 2023 to 2024 was primarily attributable to the following factors:
•2024 operating cash flows reflected a decrease of approximately $165 million in net earnings from continuing operations for the first six months of 2024 as compared to the comparable period in 2023.
•Net earnings from continuing operations for the first six months of 2024 also included $198 million higher noncash charges for depreciation, intangible asset amortization, amortization of an acquisition-related inventory step-up and unrealized investment gains/losses as compared to the comparable period of 2023, net of a decrease in stock compensation expense in the 2024 period compared to the 2023 period. Depreciation expense relates to the Company’s manufacturing and operating facilities as well as instrumentation leased to customers under OTL

arrangements. Depreciation, amortization and stock compensation are noncash expenses that decrease earnings without a corresponding impact to operating cash flows. Unrealized investment gains/losses impact net earnings without immediately impacting cash flows as the cash flow impact from investments occurs when the invested capital is returned to the Company.
•The aggregate of trade accounts receivable, inventories and trade accounts payable provided $334 million in operating cash flows during the first six months of 2024, compared to $295 million of operating cash flows provided in the comparable period of 2023. The amount of cash flow generated from or used by the aggregate of trade accounts receivable, inventories and trade accounts payable depends upon how effectively the Company manages the cash conversion cycle, which effectively represents the number of days that elapse from the day it pays for the purchase of raw materials and components to the collection of cash from its customers and can be significantly impacted by the timing of collections and payments in a period.
•The aggregate of prepaid expenses and other assets, deferred income taxes and accrued expenses and other liabilities used $607 million of operating cash flows during the first six months of 2024, compared to $239 million of operating cash flows used in the comparable period of 2023. The timing of income tax refunds and payments, the timing of cash payments for customer funding, various employee-related liabilities, realized investment returns, and changes in accrued expenses drove the majority of this change.
Investing Activities
Cash flows relating to investing activities consist primarily of cash used for acquisitions and capital expenditures, including instruments leased to customers, cash used for investments and cash proceeds from divestitures of businesses or assets.
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations decreased $35 million in the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 compared to the comparable period of 2023, primarily as a result of a decrease in cash paid for capital expenditures and cash used for the purchase of investments, partially offset by an increase in cash paid for acquisitions. For a discussion of the Company’s acquisition during the first six months of 2024 refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. In addition, during the six-month periods ended June 28, 2024 and June 30, 2023 the Company invested $127 million and $144 million, respectively, in non-marketable equity securities and partnerships.
Though the relative significance of particular categories of capital investment can change from period to period, capital expenditures are typically made for increasing manufacturing capacity, replacing equipment, the manufacture of instruments that are used in OTL arrangements that certain of the Company’s businesses enter into with customers, supporting new product development and improving IT systems. Capital expenditures decreased $17 million on a year-over-year basis for the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 compared to the comparable period in 2023.
Financing Activities and Indebtedness
Cash flows relating to financing activities can consist of cash flows associated with the issuance and repayments of commercial paper, issuance and repayment of long-term debt, borrowings under committed credit facilities, issuance and repurchases of common stock, issuance of preferred stock and payments of cash dividends to shareholders. Financing activities used cash of approximately $5.8 billion during the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 compared to $470 million of cash used in the comparable period of 2023. The year-over-year increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the repurchase of approximately $4.5 billion of the Company’s common stock and higher repayments of borrowings, partially offset by an increase in cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with stock-based compensation, a decrease in dividends paid primarily due to the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Company’s Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) on April 17, 2023 and an increase in the proceeds received from commercial paper.
For a description of the Company’s outstanding debt as of June 28, 2024 and the Company’s commercial paper programs and credit facility, refer to Note 11 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. As of June 28, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of its respective debt covenants. On April 2, 2024, the Company repaid the €900 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Euronotes upon their maturity using cash distributions received from Veralto Corporation (“Veralto”) prior to the completion of the separation of Veralto on September 30, 2023 (“the Separation”).

Dividends
Aggregate cash payments for dividends on Company common stock during the six-month period ended June 28, 2024 were $377 million. Dividend payments on the Company’s common stock were consistent with the comparable period of 2023. Aggregate cash payments for dividends on the Company’s MCPS during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 were $43 million. The decrease in MCPS dividend payments compared to the comparable period of 2023 primarily relates to the conversion of all outstanding shares of MCPS to common shares on April 17, 2023.
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share of Company common stock payable on July 26, 2024 to holders of record as of June 28, 2024.
Cash and Cash Requirements
As of June 28, 2024, the Company held approximately $2.4 billion of cash and cash equivalents that were held on deposit with financial institutions or invested in highly liquid investment-grade debt instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less. Of the cash and cash equivalents, $872 million was held within the U.S. and approximately $1.5 billion was held outside of the U.S. The Company will continue to have cash requirements to support general corporate purposes, which may include working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments, paying interest and servicing debt, paying taxes and any related interest or penalties, funding its restructuring activities and pension plans as required, paying dividends to shareholders, repurchasing shares of the Company’s common stock and supporting other business needs.
The Company generally intends to use available cash and internally generated funds to meet these cash requirements, but in the event that additional liquidity is required, the Company may also borrow under its commercial paper programs (if available) or borrow under the Company’s Credit Facility, enter into new credit facilities and either borrow directly thereunder or use such credit facilities to backstop additional borrowing capacity under its commercial paper programs (if available) and/or access the capital markets (if available). The Company also may from time to time seek to access the capital markets to take advantage of favorable interest rate environments or other market conditions. With respect to the commercial paper and other notes scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2024, the Company expects to repay the principal amounts when due using available cash, proceeds from new issuances of commercial paper (if available), drawing on its Credit Facility and/or proceeds from other debt issuances.
While repatriation of some cash held outside the U.S. may be restricted by local laws, most of the Company’s foreign cash could be repatriated to the U.S. Following enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the associated Transition Tax, in general, repatriation of cash to the U.S. can be completed with no incremental U.S. tax; however, repatriation of cash could subject the Company to non-U.S. taxes on distributions. The cash that the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries hold for indefinite reinvestment is generally used to finance foreign operations and investments, including acquisitions. The income taxes, if any, that would be applicable to the repatriation of such earnings (including basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries) are not readily determinable. As of June 28, 2024, management believes that it has sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy its cash needs, including its cash needs in the U.S.
