Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
General | 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, 2024 and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 20, 2025 (the “2024 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 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, its results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024 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 2024 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. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2024 on a retrospective basis. Refer to Note 5 for additional segment disclosures. 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. The Company adopted the ASU effective January 1, 2025. This accounting standard will increase the tax disclosures in the Company’s annual reporting but has no impact on reported income tax expense or related tax assets or liabilities. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted—In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expenses, including specific expense categories. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is assessing the impact of the ASU on the Company’s disclosures and expects that the standard will increase disclosures in the Company’s annual and interim reporting when adopted. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets—Prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily result from advance payments to vendors for goods 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 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are primarily comprised of prepaid expenses of $747 million and $620 million, respectively, and taxes receivable for income and other taxes and deferred tax assets of $952 million and $853 million, respectively. Operating Leases—As of June 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 17 of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report.
