Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

ACQUISITION

BUSINESS COMBINATIONOn February 28, 2023, the Company acquired 61% of the then outstanding shares of a medical technology company in an all cash transaction. The Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of this VIE, and the VIE has been consolidated in the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements. In addition, the Company amended and restated its previous option agreement with the medical technology company. The option agreement gives Edwards the option to acquire the remaining equity interest in the medical technology company.

The medical technology company is dedicated to developing technologies for detecting and managing patients with cardiovascular disease. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired were recorded based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded to goodwill. The Company is in the process of finalizing its purchase price allocation. Therefore, the amounts reflected below are subject to change and will be finalized during 2023. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):

Assets						$	7.5
Goodwill						143.0
In-process research and development						150.5
Liabilities assumed						(16.1)
Deferred tax liabilities						(25.1)
Fair value of net assets acquired						259.8
Less: Noncontrolling interest (a)						(84.0)
Total purchase price						175.8
Less: cash acquired						(6.8)
Total purchase price, net of cash acquired (b)						$	169.0

_______________________________________

(a) Includes the fair value of the noncontrolling interest of $99.0 million offset by the purchase consideration allocated to the option of $15.0 million, which was ascribed to the noncontrolling interest.

(b)     Includes $22.5 million paid in a previous year under option agreements and $5.3 million for the settlement of a pre-existing note.

Goodwill includes expected synergies and other benefits the Company believes will result from the acquisition. Goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Rest of World segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The results of operations for the medical technology company since the date of acquisition were immaterial. Pro forma results have not been presented as the results of the medical technology company are not material in relation to the consolidated financial statements of Edwards Lifesciences.
