The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 and 2024 included costs related to programs to optimize its organization and cost structure. These restructuring and business optimization costs in 2025 included costs primarily related to its initiatives to reduce its cost structure following the sale of its former Kidney Care segment and the exit of a product line at one of its manufacturing facilities. These restructuring and business optimization costs in 2024 included costs which were primarily related to its implementation of a new operating model intended to simplify and streamline its operations and better align its manufacturing and supply chain to its commercial activities, and initiatives within its Healthcare Systems & Technologies segment. The company's results of discontinued operations in 2024 included costs primarily related to inventory write-offs due to the exit of a product line and the decision to cease production of dialyzers at one of its |

The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 and 2024 included integration-related items comprised of Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (Hillrom) acquisition and integration expenses. |
|
3 |
The company’s results in 2025 and 2024 included incremental costs to comply with the European Union’s medical device regulations for previously registered products, which primarily consisted of contractor costs and other direct third-party costs. The company considers the adoption of these regulations to be a significant one-time regulatory change and believes that the costs of initial compliance for previously registered products over the implementation period are not indicative of its core operating results. |
|
4 |
The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 included charges related to estimates of warranty and remediation activities arising from field corrective actions across its infusion pump category and a revised estimate of warranty and remediation activities arising from a field corrective action on certain of its infusion pumps initially recorded in 2022. The company results of continuing operations in 2024 included charges related to a revised estimate of warranty and remediation activities arising from a field corrective action on certain of its infusion pumps initially recorded in 2022. |
|
5 |
The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 and 2024 included charges related to Hurricane Helene. In 2025 this amount consisted of remediation, air freight and other costs. In 2024 this amount consisted of a charge related to damaged inventory and fixed assets, partially offset by a benefit related to insurance recoveries as a result of those asset write-offs. |
|
6 |
The company’s results of continuing operations in 2025 and discontinued operations in 2024 included separation-related costs primarily related to external advisors supporting its activities related to the sale of its former Kidney Care segment. |
|
7 |
The company’s results in 2024 included charges related to environmental reserves for remediation actions associated with historic operations at certain of our facilities. |
|
8 |
The company's results of discontinued operations in 2025 included the final settlement of certain net working capital adjustments reducing the gain on sale of its former Kidney Care segment made in accordance with the terms of the related Equity Purchase Agreement (Kidney Care EPA). |
|
9 |
The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 included an income tax expense primarily related to an increase in reserves for uncertain tax positions and a step-up in Swiss valuation allowances, partially offset by the release of valuation allowances on foreign tax credits. The company's results of discontinued operations in 2025 included an income tax benefit attributable to the allocation of reserves for uncertain tax positions to discontinued operations and indirect impacts of the carryback of the tax benefits generated by the sale of its former Kidney Care business to prior years. The company's results of continuing operations in 2024 included tax items consisting of a valuation allowance recorded to reduce the carrying amount of a tax attributable carryforward in the |
