    In September 2018, the Company entered into a partnership in Saudi Arabia. The Company has majority voting rights with an approximate 75% interest. Accordingly, the Company has consolidated the operations of the Saudi Arabia partnership in its Consolidated Balance Sheets and recorded the noncontrolling interests. The noncontrolling interest related to the partner’s 25% interest is included in noncontrolling interests in the equity section of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income representing the noncontrolling partner's share of income from operations is included in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
    In April 2015, the Company acquired 73.5% of the then outstanding shares of MeVis Medical, a publicly traded company based in Bremen, Germany that provides image processing software and services for cancer screening. In August 2015, the Company, through one of its German subsidiaries, entered into a Domination and Profit and Loss Transfer Agreement (the “DPLTA”) with MeVis Medical. In fiscal years 2017 and 2018, the Company purchased an additional 0.2% of outstanding shares such that the Company now owns 73.7% of the outstanding shares of common stock of MeVis Medical. Under the DPLTA, MeVis Medical subordinates its management to the Company and undertakes to transfer all its annual profits and losses to the Company. In return, the DPLTA grants the noncontrolling shareholders of MeVis Medical, an annual recurring net compensation of €0.95 per MeVis Medical share. At October 3, 2025, noncontrolling shareholders together held approximately 0.5 million shares of MeVis Medical, representing 26.3% of the outstanding shares.
    During the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company acquired a controlling interest in MeVis Breastcare, in which the Company now holds an 87.1% ownership interest. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded an associated noncontrolling interest of $0.7 million.
