Rhea-AI Filing Summary
AAR Corp. (FY ended 31 May 2025) reported strong top-line momentum. Consolidated sales rose $461.6 M, or 19.9%, driven mainly by commercial demand and the late-FY24 Product Support acquisition. Commercial revenue grew $338.2 M (+20.6%); government revenue increased $123.4 M (+18.1%). Segment mix: Parts Supply 40% of sales, Repair & Engineering 32%, Integrated Solutions 25%, Expeditionary Services 3%.
Key portfolio moves included the sale of the Landing Gear Overhaul business to GA Telesis for $48 M, producing a $71.1 M divestiture loss, and a $2.1 M gain on exit of an Indian MRO JV. Integration of FY24’s Product Support buy and FY23’s Trax software investment is yielding cost synergies and digital upselling opportunities.
Growth pipeline: new multi-year distribution deals (Unison, Chromalloy, Ontic), an extended FTAI Aviation USM agreement (CFM56 through 2030) and two U.S. Navy P-8A support contracts. Firm backlog stands at $537.2 M (≈75% recognizable in FY26). Airframe MRO capacity is expanding via 114 k sq ft Miami and 80 k sq ft Oklahoma City hangars, targeted for service within 12-18 months (Miami slightly delayed by permitting).
Government exposure remains meaningful: U.S. government agencies and contractors accounted for $687.6 M, 24.7% of revenue. Shares outstanding on 30 Jun 2025 were 35.85 M; non-affiliate market value was ~$2.43 B (11 Nov 2024 close). Workforce totals 5,600 employees and 500 contractors.
AAR Corp. (Esercizio chiuso al 31 maggio 2025) ha riportato una forte crescita dei ricavi. Le vendite consolidate sono aumentate di 461,6 milioni di dollari, pari al 19,9%, trainate principalmente dalla domanda commerciale e dall'acquisizione di Product Support a fine FY24. I ricavi commerciali sono cresciuti di 338,2 milioni di dollari (+20,6%); quelli governativi sono aumentati di 123,4 milioni di dollari (+18,1%). Composizione del segmento: Parts Supply 40% delle vendite, Repair & Engineering 32%, Integrated Solutions 25%, Expeditionary Services 3%.
Le principali operazioni di portafoglio hanno incluso la cessione del business di revisione degli atterraggi a GA Telesis per 48 milioni di dollari, con una perdita da dismissione di 71,1 milioni di dollari, e un guadagno di 2,1 milioni di dollari dall'uscita da una joint venture MRO indiana. L'integrazione dell'acquisizione di Product Support nel FY24 e dell'investimento nel software Trax nel FY23 sta generando sinergie di costo e opportunità di upselling digitale.
Pipeline di crescita: nuovi accordi di distribuzione pluriennali (Unison, Chromalloy, Ontic), un'estensione dell'accordo FTAI Aviation USM (CFM56 fino al 2030) e due contratti di supporto per il P-8A della Marina degli Stati Uniti. L'ordine fermo ammonta a 537,2 milioni di dollari (circa il 75% riconoscibile nel FY26). La capacità MRO per fusoliere si sta ampliando con nuovi hangar di 114.000 piedi quadrati a Miami e 80.000 piedi quadrati a Oklahoma City, previsti in servizio entro 12-18 mesi (Miami leggermente ritardato per permessi).
L'esposizione governativa rimane significativa: agenzie governative statunitensi e appaltatori hanno rappresentato 687,6 milioni di dollari, pari al 24,7% dei ricavi. Le azioni in circolazione al 30 giugno 2025 erano 35,85 milioni; il valore di mercato non affiliato era di circa 2,43 miliardi di dollari (chiusura 11 novembre 2024). La forza lavoro conta 5.600 dipendenti e 500 collaboratori.

AAR Corp. (2025년 5월 31일 종료된 회계연도)는 강력한 매출 성장을 보고했습니다. 연결 매출은 4억 6,160만 달러, 19.9% 증가했으며, 주로 상업 수요와 FY24 말의 Product Support 인수에 힘입은 결과입니다. 상업 매출은 3억 3,820만 달러(+20.6%), 정부 매출은 1억 2,340만 달러(+18.1%) 증가했습니다. 부문 구성: 부품 공급 40%, 수리 및 엔지니어링 32%, 통합 솔루션 25%, 원정 서비스 3%.
주요 포트폴리오 조치로는 GA Telesis에 착륙장치 오버홀 사업을 4,800만 달러에 매각하여 7,110만 달러의 매각 손실을 기록했고, 인도 MRO 합작 투자에서 210만 달러의 이익을 실현했습니다. FY24 Product Support 인수와 FY23 Trax 소프트웨어 투자의 통합으로 비용 시너지 및 디지털 업셀링 기회가 창출되고 있습니다.
성장 파이프라인: 다년간 신규 유통 계약 (Unison, Chromalloy, Ontic), FTAI Aviation USM 계약 연장(CFM56 2030년까지), 미 해군 P-8A 지원 계약 2건. 확정 수주 잔고는 5억 3,720만 달러로 FY26에 약 75% 인식 예정입니다. 항공기 동체 MRO 용량은 마이애미 11만 4천 평방피트, 오클라호마시티 8만 평방피트 규모의 격납고 확장 중이며, 12~18개월 내 서비스 시작 예정(마이애미는 허가 지연 약간 있음).
정부 노출도 여전히 중요하며, 미국 정부 기관 및 계약자가 6억 8,760만 달러, 매출의 24.7%를 차지합니다. 2025년 6월 30일 기준 발행 주식 수는 3,585만 주이며, 비계열 시장 가치는 약 24억 3천만 달러(2024년 11월 11일 종가 기준)입니다. 직원 수는 5,600명, 계약자는 500명입니다.

AAR Corp. (Geschäftsjahr endete am 31. Mai 2025) meldete ein starkes Umsatzwachstum. Der konsolidierte Umsatz stieg um 461,6 Mio. USD bzw. 19,9%, hauptsächlich getrieben durch die kommerzielle Nachfrage und die Akquisition von Product Support Ende FY24. Der kommerzielle Umsatz wuchs um 338,2 Mio. USD (+20,6%); der Regierungsumsatz stieg um 123,4 Mio. USD (+18,1%). Segmentmix: Teileversorgung 40% des Umsatzes, Reparatur & Engineering 32%, Integrierte Lösungen 25%, Expeditionary Services 3%.
Wichtige Portfolio-Maßnahmen waren der Verkauf des Landing Gear Overhaul-Geschäfts an GA Telesis für 48 Mio. USD, was einen Veräußerungsverlust von 71,1 Mio. USD zur Folge hatte, sowie ein Gewinn von 2,1 Mio. USD beim Ausstieg aus einem indischen MRO-Joint Venture. Die Integration des Product Support-Kaufs im FY24 und der Trax-Software-Investition im FY23 führt zu Kostensynergien und digitalen Upselling-Möglichkeiten.
Wachstumspipeline: neue mehrjährige Vertriebsvereinbarungen (Unison, Chromalloy, Ontic), eine Verlängerung des FTAI Aviation USM-Vertrags (CFM56 bis 2030) und zwei Support-Verträge der US Navy für P-8A. Der feste Auftragsbestand beträgt 537,2 Mio. USD (≈75% im FY26 realisierbar). Die MRO-Kapazität für Flugzeugrümpfe wird durch Hangars mit 114.000 qm in Miami und 80.000 qm in Oklahoma City erweitert, die innerhalb von 12-18 Monaten in Betrieb genommen werden sollen (Miami leicht verzögert durch Genehmigungen).
Die Regierungsexponierung bleibt bedeutend: US-Regierungsbehörden und Auftragnehmer machten 687,6 Mio. USD, 24,7% des Umsatzes aus. Die ausstehenden Aktien am 30. Juni 2025 betrugen 35,85 Mio.; der nicht verbundene Marktwert lag bei ca. 2,43 Mrd. USD (Schlusskurs 11. Nov. 2024). Die Belegschaft umfasst 5.600 Mitarbeiter und 500 Auftragnehmer.
Positive
- Sales up 19.9% year-on-year, outpacing industry recovery.
- $537.2 M firm backlog with high near-term conversion.
- Multiple new long-term distribution and Navy contracts extend revenue visibility.
- Integration of Product Support and Trax acquisitions delivering synergies and digital capabilities.
- Airframe MRO capacity expansions in Miami and Oklahoma City support future growth.
Negative
- $71.1 M loss on Landing Gear Overhaul divestiture impacts FY25 earnings quality.
- Miami hangar expansion experiencing permitting delays, pushing out capacity addition.
- Continued reliance on U.S. government spending (25% of sales) exposes company to budget risk.
Insights
TL;DR – 19.9% sales surge, contract wins, but divestiture charge trims bottom-line quality.
Revenue acceleration confirms robust aftermarket cycle and successful Product Support integration. Distribution contracts and Navy awards broaden multi-year visibility, while a $537 M backlog supports FY26 growth. However, the $71 M write-down on Landing Gear Overhaul masks underlying EBIT leverage and underscores execution risk in portfolio pruning. Facility expansions should lift long-run capacity but near-term capex and Miami delays warrant monitoring. Overall, qualitative tone remains positive with balanced risk.
TL;DR – Stable federal exposure; budget shifts remain a watch-item.
U.S. government revenue rose 19% to $688 M, buoyed by P-8A contracts and DoD logistics work. Contract structure (multi-year ID/IQ, performance-based) offers predictability, yet future appropriations or State-Department cuts could compress volumes. Backlog conversion (75% within 12 months) provides near-term cushion. No compliance red flags noted; continued large-accelerated-filer status suggests strong reporting discipline.

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, 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.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
For a description of the Company’s acquisition activity for the year ended December 31, 2024, reference is made to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Note 2 thereto included in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report. There were no acquisitions during the six-month period ended June 27, 2025.
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. Only facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment.
Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma information for the periods set forth below gives effect to the 2024 acquisitions as if they had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period, 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 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Sales | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
Net earnings | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Diluted net earnings per common share | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The six-month period ended June 28, 2024 unaudited pro forma net earnings were adjusted to exclude the pretax impact of a $25 million nonrecurring acquisition date fair value adjustment to inventory.
NOTE 3. NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net earnings per common share (“EPS”) is calculated by taking net earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted net EPS is computed by taking net earnings 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 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, approximately 8.3 million and 2.9 million options, respectively, and for the six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, approximately 6.8 million and 1.7 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 in the effect of rounding to the nearest cent per share, the sum of prior quarterly EPS figures may not equal year-to-date EPS.

(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 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, lease revenue was $117 million and $95 million, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, lease revenue was $231 million and $194 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 27, 2025, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $4.9 billion. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 46 % of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, 28 % over the subsequent 12 months, and the remainder recognized thereafter.

Table of Contents
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 accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis (on a contract-by-contract basis) in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at the end of each reporting period.
NOTE 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates and reports its results in three separate 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. The identifiable assets by segment are those used in each segment’s operations. Intersegment amounts are not significant and are eliminated to arrive at consolidated totals.
The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) uses segment sales and operating profit to allocate resources (including employees and financial or capital resources), predominantly through the annual budget process, to assess the performance of the segments and to evaluate the performance of certain employees for the determination of compensation. The CODM reviews forecast-to-actual variances in segment sales and operating profit on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments.
The table below reconciles segment sales to segment operating profit with the expense categories presented reflecting the expenses that the Company has determined to be significant segment expenses. Significant segment expenses are the expense category details regularly provided to the CODM to allocate resources to the segments and to evaluate segment performance. Detailed segment data for the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024 is as follows ($ in millions):

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes the Company’s effective tax rate:
| Three-Month Period Ended | Six-Month Period Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| June 27, 2025 | June 28, 2024 | June 27, 2025 | June 28, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Effective tax rate | % | % | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||
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 Danaher’s global operations and benefits from tax credits and incentives contributes to a lower effective tax rate compared to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate. For each period presented, the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0
For the three-month period ended June 27, 2025, the effective tax rate was reduced by the tax effect from an intangible asset impairment in a jurisdiction with a higher statutory tax rate than the Company’s effective tax rate, partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions. The net impact reduced the effective tax rate by 1.4 %.
For the three-month period ended June 28, 2024, net discrete tax benefits of $9 million reduced the effective tax rate by 0.8 % and related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
For the six-month period ended June 27, 2025, the effective tax rate was reduced by the tax effect from an intangible asset impairment in a jurisdiction with a higher statutory tax rate than the Company’s effective tax rate and the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitations, partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions. The net impact reduced the effective tax rate by 1.1 %.
For the six-month period ended June 28, 2024, net discrete tax benefits of $45 million reduced the effective tax rate by 1.9 % and related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitations and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions.
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 after 2018. Management believes the positions the Company has taken in its U.S. tax returns are in accordance with the relevant tax laws.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, which includes permanent extensions of most expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions and international tax changes. The Company is still evaluating the potential impacts of the OBBBA; however, the Company does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
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, 2024 and Note 7 thereto included in the Company’s 2024 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 SG&A 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.
Investment Gains (Losses)
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.
Gain on Sale of Product Line
During the six-month period ended June 27, 2025, the Company divested a product line for a cash purchase price of $9 million and recognized a pretax gain on sale of $9 million ($7 million after-tax). The divested product line generated revenues of approximately $50 million in the Diagnostics segment in 2024. The divestiture of this product line did not represent a strategic shift with a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and therefore is not reported as a discontinued operation.

The Company reviews identified intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company decided to reorganize and integrate certain businesses within its Life Sciences segment to better serve the Company’s customers in new market segments and to respond to current market conditions. As a result of these plans, the Company concluded that an indefinite-lived trade name within the genomics consumables business was no longer considered to be indefinite-lived, resulting in an impairment indicator. The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist in the valuation of the trade name using a relief from royalty method of valuation. The significant assumptions in the relief from royalty method include, but were not limited to, revenue, revenue growth rates, planned use of the trade name, royalty rates and discount rates. The Company recorded a noncash impairment charge of $432 328 76 million as of June 27, 2025 and will be amortized over the asset’s remaining useful life of eight years . The Company continues to monitor for any changes to the business performance or key assumptions.
In connection with the trade name impairment, the Company also tested the related long-lived asset group and the related reporting unit goodwill for impairment as of June 27, 2025, and in both cases the Company identified no
The reorganization of the Life Sciences segment resulted in a change to the businesses included in two of the Company’s five reporting units for goodwill beginning at the start of the third quarter of 2025. The Company used the relative fair value method to reallocate goodwill between the impacted reporting units within the Life Sciences segment. The Company performed the quantitative goodwill impairment analysis immediately prior to and following the change in the reporting units. As of the date of the impairment tests, the carrying value of the goodwill included in each individual reporting unit ranged from approximately $1.2 billion to $23.1 billion for both the previous reporting units and for the current reporting units (after the changes within Life Sciences). No impairments of goodwill were identified in either of the impairment evaluations before or immediately after the change in reporting units. The factors used by management in its impairment analysis are inherently subject to uncertainty. If actual results are not consistent with management’s estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may not be recoverable and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings.
During the six-month period ended June 27, 2025, the Company recorded a $15 million impairment related to a facility in the Biotechnology segment.
NOTE 9. 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.

A summary of financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows ($ in millions):

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 the fair value measurement disclosures noted above. As of both June 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s equity method investments included investments in partnerships with a carrying value of approximately $1.4
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 11 for additional information.

As of June 27, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 has historically satisfied short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flow and available cash primarily through issuances of commercial paper under its U.S. dollar and euro-denominated commercial paper programs. 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 2024 Annual Report. As of June 27, 2025, the Company has classified approximately $2.6 billion of its borrowings outstanding under the euro-denominated commercial paper programs and the 2026 Biopharma Euronotes as long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets (even though such borrowings are scheduled to mature within one year of June 27, 2025) as the Company had the intent and ability, as supported by availability under the Credit Facility, to refinance these borrowings for at least one year from the balance sheet date.
As of June 27, 2025, borrowings outstanding under the Company’s euro-denominated commercial paper program had a weighted average annual interest rate of 2.3 % and a weighted average remaining maturity of approximately 41 days. There were no borrowings outstanding under the U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper program as of June 27, 2025.
Guarantors of Debt
NOTE 11. 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 2029 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 2025 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 12, 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 12. 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.
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 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024. 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 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024. Should any ineffectiveness arise, any ineffective

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):

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

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, 2024, included in the Company’s 2024 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 27, 2025 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, presentations, 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 tariff impacts, revenue, expenses, profit, profit margins, asset values, pricing, tax rates, tax provisions, cash flows, pension and benefit obligations and funding requirements, 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, executive compensation and potential executive stock sales or purchases; growth, declines and other trends in markets we sell into; future, new or modified laws, regulations, accounting pronouncements 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,” “assume,” “continue,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “aim,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “upcoming,” “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, risks and uncertainties 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
•Conditions in the global economy, the particular markets we serve and the financial markets can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
23
Table of Contents
•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.
•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 also suffers when 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 U.S. and outside the U.S., can negatively affect our business and financial statements. For example, elections can result in significant political shifts and/or disruptions, and the change in the U.S. administration as well as recent Supreme Court decisions have resulted in policy, regulatory and economic changes, challenges and uncertainty, including with respect to tariffs.
•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.
•Global heath crises, pandemics, epidemics or other outbreaks can adversely impact certain elements of our business and financial statements.
•Business 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
•The inability to consummate acquisitions at our historical rate and appropriate prices, realize the economic benefits of consummated acquisitions or to make appropriate investments that support our long-term strategy, can negatively impact our business. Our acquisition of businesses, investments, joint ventures and other strategic relationships can 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, manufacturing problems and unanticipated use or inadequate disclosure with respect to our products or services, or allegations thereof, can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
•Climate change, legal or regulatory measures to address climate change and other sustainability topics and any inability to address regulatory requirements or stakeholder expectations with respect to climate change and other sustainability topics, may negatively 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, as well as adverse changes with respect to key distributors and channel partners.
•Our success depends on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate talented employees.
•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.
24
Table of Contents
•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.
Financial and Tax Risks
•From time to time 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. or non-U.S. laws or policies 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.
•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.
•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 2024 Annual Report and Part II-Item 1A of this 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, presentation, 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 (particularly with respect to computing, automation, artificial intelligence, mobile connectivity and digitization) 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 2025, the Company’s overall revenues increased 3.5% compared to the comparable period of 2024. Core sales increased 1.5% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to the comparable prior year period as higher core sales in the Biotechnology and Diagnostics segments were partially offset by lower core sales in the Life Sciences segment. The impact of foreign currency increased reported sales by 2.0%. For the six-month period ended June 27, 2025, overall revenues increased 1.0% compared to the comparable prior year period due to higher core sales in the Biotechnology segment that were partially offset by lower core sales in the Life Sciences segment. Price increases contributed 0.5% to sales growth on a year-over-year basis during the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 and are reflected as a component of core sales above. Price increases did not have a significant impact on the change in sales on a year-over-year basis during the six-month period ended June 27, 2025. 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 27, 2025 in developed markets increased year-over-year by 5% and core sales in developed markets were up low-single digits, primarily due to high-single digit core sales increases in Western Europe. The increase in core sales in developed markets was primarily driven by increases in the Biotechnology segment and to a lesser extent in the Diagnostics segment, partially offset by decreased year-over-year core sales in the Life Sciences segment. For the same period, sales and core sales in high-growth markets were flat year-over-year as a mid-single digit decline in core revenue in China was offset by increased core sales in other regions. The Diagnostics and Life Sciences segments increase in demand in the high-growth markets was offset by core sales declines in the Biotechnology segment. High-growth markets represented approximately 29% of the Company’s total sales in the second quarter of 2025. For additional information regarding the Company’s sales by geographical region during the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, refer to Note 4 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The Company’s net earnings for the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 totaled $555 million and approximately $1.5 billion, or $0.77 and $2.10 per diluted common share, respectively, compared to $907 million and approximately $2.0 billion, or $1.22 and $2.68 per diluted common share, respectively, for the three and six-month periods ended June 28, 2024. Impairment charges of $432 million ($328 million after-tax or $0.46 per diluted common share), and $447 million ($339 million after-tax or $0.47 per diluted common share), recorded in the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025, respectively, drove the year-over-year decline in net earnings and diluted net earnings per common share for the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025.
Currency exchange rates increased reported sales by approximately 2.0% for the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 compared to the comparable period of 2024, primarily due to the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar compared to the euro and other major currencies in the second quarter of 2025. Currency exchange rates did not have a significant impact on the change in sales on a year-over-year basis during the six-month period ended June 27, 2025. In future periods, strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies compared to the exchange rates in effect as of June 27, 2025 would adversely impact the Company’s sales and results of operations on an overall basis, and weakening of the U.S. dollar against other major currencies compared to the exchange rates in effect as of June 27, 2025 would positively impact the Company’s sales and results of operations. In addition to the translational exchange rate risk to sales, the Company also faces transactional exchange rate risk from transactions with customers in countries outside the U.S. and from intercompany transactions between affiliates. Transactional exchange rate risk (and any resulting gains or losses) arises from the purchase and sale of goods and services in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency or the functional currency of its applicable subsidiary.
As a diversified, global business, Danaher operates a global supply chain and sources parts and materials globally. In the second quarter of 2025, the U.S. implemented significant new tariffs on imports from a wide range of countries, which has also prompted retaliatory tariffs by a number of countries and a cycle of retaliatory tariffs by both the U.S. and other countries. Subsequently, actions were taken by the U.S. and certain other countries to modify certain of these tariffs and/or delay their effective dates, but a number of new tariffs remain in effect, including significant tariffs between the U.S. and China. In addition, a number of new tariffs have been threatened and the U.S. and other countries continue to negotiate trade arrangements and tariff levels.
Based on the tariffs enacted and in effect as of July 20, 2025 (the “enacted tariffs”), the Company anticipates incurring incremental tariff costs for the full year 2025 of several hundred millions of dollars. These incremental costs from the enacted tariffs reflect their impact on the costs of parts and materials used by the Company to produce products, as well as costs the Company may incur on finished goods shipped to customers. The Company expects to largely offset the operating profit impact of the enacted tariffs with manufacturing footprint changes, supply chain adjustments, surcharges and additional productivity and cost savings actions. To the extent the Company is unable to offset the incremental cost from the enacted tariffs, or the enacted tariffs negatively impact demand, the Company’s revenue and profitability would be adversely impacted. If the delayed tariffs come into effect or other additional tariffs are adopted, the Company would
26

incur additional tariff costs that could be material and the Company’s revenue and profitability could be adversely impacted.
In addition to changes in trade policy, the new U.S. administration has implemented a number of other regulatory, policy and personnel changes, including the elimination, downsizing and reduced funding of certain government agencies and programs and the cancellation or delay of government contracts and research grants. In addition, the administration has changed the composition of advisory panels on healthcare practices.
The full impact of the matters noted above on the Company, our customers, end-users and business partners, the overall economy and capital markets remains uncertain. The Company currently expects academic and government demand to remain weaker, with ongoing uncertainty around research funding. Refer to “Risk Factors” for additional information.
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 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 growth (decline) 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. The Company 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% and 2.0%, respectively, to sales growth on a year-over-year basis during the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and are reflected as a component of core sales above.
Total segment sales increased 8.0% and 7.0% during the three and six-month periods, respectively. The increase in segment sales in the three and six-month periods was led by increased core sales and to a lesser extent by the impact of currency exchange rates. The year-over-year increase in total segment core sales was led by increased sales of consumables, partially offset by declines in equipment sales in both periods. Geographically, the increase in core sales was led by Western Europe in both periods.
The year-over-year increase in core sales in the segment was led by the bioprocessing business in both the three and six-month periods and was primarily driven by improved consumables demand from large pharmaceutical customers, primarily in Western Europe, partially offset by lower demand for equipment across most major markets. Core sales in the discovery and medical business decreased year-over-year as lower demand for equipment in the life science research end-markets more than offset the improved demand for consumables.
Operating Profit Performance
Operating profit margins increased 170 basis points during the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable period of 2024 due to higher 2025 core sales, the impact of product mix and the impact of changes in leverage in the segment’s operational and administrative cost structure, net of the impact of currency exchange rates.
Operating profit margins increased 380 basis points during the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable period of 2024.
Year-to-date 2025 vs. year-to-date 2024 operating profit margin comparisons were favorably impacted by:
•Higher 2025 core sales, the impact of product mix and improvements in the segment’s operational and administrative cost structure, net of the impact of currency exchange rates - 425 basis points
Year-to-date 2025 vs. year-to-date 2024 operating profit margin comparisons were unfavorably impacted by:
•First half of 2025 impairment charge related to a facility in the Biotechnology segment - 45 basis points
Amortization of intangible assets as a percentage of sales decreased during both the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable periods of 2024, primarily as a result of the increase in sales.

Price increases in the segment contributed 0.5% to the change in sales on a year-over-year basis during both the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and are reflected as a component of core sales above.
Total segment sales increased 0.5% and decreased 1.5% during the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025, respectively. The sales increase during the three-month period was driven by the impact of an acquisition and currency exchange rates, partially offset by a decline in core sales. The sales decline during the six-month period was primarily a result of decreased core sales, partially offset by the impact of acquisitions and to a lesser extent the impact of currency exchange rates. The year-over-year decrease in total segment core sales in both the three and six-month periods was driven by declines in both consumables and equipment. Lower funding levels at emerging biotechnology customers and in the academic and government end-markets reduced demand for the segment’s products in both periods. Geographically, the core sales decline was led by North America in both periods.
The year-over-year decrease in segment core sales in the three and six-month periods was led by the genomics consumables business, primarily in North America, driven by lower demand for the plasmids and protein product lines at two large customers and lower funding levels at emerging biotechnology and academic research customers. Lower year-over-year demand in the academic and government end-markets reduced core sales in the protein consumables and in the flow cytometry and lab automation solutions businesses in both the three and six-month periods. Core sales declined year-over-year in both periods in the microscopy and mass spectrometry businesses as decreased demand for equipment more than offset increased demand for consumables. During both periods, year-over-year core sales increased in the filtration business, where increased demand in the microelectronic and aerospace end-markets more than offset decreased demand in the energy-related end-market.
Operating Profit (Loss) Performance
Operating profit margins decreased 2,660 basis points during the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable period of 2024. The following factors unfavorably impacted year-over-year operating profit margin:
•Second quarter 2025 impairment charge related to a trade name. Refer to Note 8 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information - 2,430 basis points

•Lower second quarter 2025 core sales, the impact of changes in leverage in the segment’s operational and administrative cost structure and the impact of product mix - 155 basis points
•The incremental dilutive effect in 2025 of acquired businesses - 75 basis points
Operating profit margins decreased 1,440 basis points during the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable period of 2024.
Year-to-date 2025 vs. year-to-date 2024 operating profit margin comparisons were unfavorably impacted by:
•First half of 2025 impairment charge related to a trade name - 1,250 basis points
•Lower first half of 2025 core sales, the impact of product mix, changes in leverage in the segment’s operational and administrative cost structure and the impact of currency exchange rates - 200 basis points
•The incremental dilutive effect in 2025 of acquired businesses - 60 basis points
Year-to-date 2025 vs. year-to-date 2024 operating profit margin comparisons were favorably impacted by:
•First half of 2024 acquisition-related fair value adjustment to inventory - 70 basis points
Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets increased as a percentage of sales during both the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025, primarily as a result of the decrease in sales and the impact of acquisitions.

Price decreases in the segment of 1.0%, attributable to factors discussed below, negatively impacted the year-over-year change in sales during both the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and are reflected as a component of core sales above.
Total segment sales increased 2.0% during the three-month period primarily as a result of increased core sales and to a lesser extent currency exchange rates, net of the impact of divestitures. Total segment sales decreased 0.5% during the six-month period as a result of the impact of divestitures. In the three-month period, the increase in segment core sales was primarily driven by increased year-over-year demand for consumables, partially offset by decreased demand for equipment. In the six-month period, core sales were flat as increased year-over-year demand for consumables was offset by lower demand for equipment. Geographically, increased core sales in North America and most other major markets were offset by decreased core sales in China attributable to the pricing impact of China’s volume-based procurement program and healthcare reimbursement changes in both periods.

During the three-month period, core sales growth in the molecular diagnostics business increased year-over-year as core sales in non-respiratory tests more than offset decreased core sales of respiratory tests, while during the six-month period, core sales declined year-over-year as decreased core sales of respiratory tests more than offset increased core sales of non-respiratory tests. In the segment’s clinical diagnostics businesses core sales for all the businesses increased during both the three and six-month periods on a year-over-year basis. In the clinical lab business, increased year-over-year sales outside of China, led by North America, more than offset core sales declines in China in both the three and six-month periods, due to the impact of China’s volume-based procurement and healthcare reimbursement changes.
Operating Profit Performance
Operating profit margin decreased 60 basis points during the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable period of 2024. The following factors unfavorably impacted year-over-year operating profit margin:
•The impact of product mix, partially offset by higher second quarter 2025 core sales and changes in leverage in the segment’s operational and administrative cost structure - 45 basis points
•The impact of a product line disposition which did not qualify as discontinued operations - 15 basis points
Operating profit margin decreased 230 basis points during the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable period of 2024. The following factors unfavorably impacted year-over-year operating profit margin:
•The impact of product mix, changes in leverage in the segment’s operational and administrative cost structure, currency exchange rates and lower sales - 215 basis points
•The impact of a product line disposition which did not qualify as discontinued operations - 15 basis points

Cost of sales increased year-over-year during both the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable periods in 2024. The increase during the three-month period was primarily due to the impact of higher year-over-year sales volumes, currency exchange rates and product mix. The increase during the six-month period was primarily due to the impact of higher year-over-year sales volumes, currency exchange rates, product mix and a $15 million impairment charge related to a facility in the Biotechnology segment recorded in the first half of 2025. These increases were partially offset by a $25 million acquisition-related charge associated with the fair value adjustment to inventory recorded in the first half of 2024 in connection with the acquisition of Abcam plc.
Year-over-year gross profit margin decreased during the three-month period ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable period in 2024 primarily due to the impact of currency exchange rates, product mix and tariff costs, partially offset by the impact of continued productivity improvement initiatives and higher year-over-year sales volumes. Year-over-year gross profit margin increased in the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 primarily due to the impact of product mix and higher year-over-year sales volumes, partially offset by the impact of currency exchange rates and tariff costs. The increase is also due to the impact of an acquisition-related charge recorded in the first half of 2024, net of the facility impairment recorded in the first half of 2025, both referenced above.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased during both the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable periods in 2024, primarily driven by the $432 million impairment charge related to a trade name in the Life Sciences segment recorded in the second quarter of 2025, and to a lesser extent, a year-over-year increase in costs incurred for productivity improvement actions, net of incremental year-over-year cost savings associated with continuing productivity improvement initiatives and cost structure improvements. Refer to Note 8 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information regarding the impairment.
R&D expenses (consisting principally of internal and contract engineering personnel costs) as a percentage of sales remained essentially flat during both the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 as compared to the comparable period of 2024, as increased R&D spending correlated to the increases in sales.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
For a description of the Company’s other income (expense), net during the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, refer to Note 7 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
INTEREST COSTS AND FINANCING
For a discussion of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, refer to Note 10 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Interest expense of $71 million and $143 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025, respectively, was $6 million higher and $13 million higher than the comparable periods of 2024, due primarily to the impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a lower average interest rate on the Company’s commercial paper borrowings versus the comparable periods of 2024.
Interest income of $8 million and $14 million for the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025, respectively, was $31 million lower and $85 million lower than the comparable periods of 2024, due primarily to lower average cash balances in 2025 as a result of share repurchases and acquisitions.
INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes the Company’s effective tax rate:
| Three-Month Period Ended | Six-Month Period Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| June 27, 2025 | June 28, 2024 | June 27, 2025 | June 28, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Effective tax rate | 15.3 | % | 16.3 | % | 15.4 | % | 15.3 | % | |||||||||||||||
The Company operates globally, including in certain jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate. Therefore, the impact of Danaher’s global operations and benefits from tax credits and incentives contributes to a lower effective tax rate compared to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate. For each period presented, the effective tax rate 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 or charges.
For the three-month period ended June 27, 2025, the effective tax rate was reduced by the tax effect from an intangible asset impairment in a jurisdiction with a higher statutory tax rate than the Company’s effective tax rate, partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions. The net impact reduced the effective tax rate by 1.4%.
For the three-month period ended June 28, 2024, net discrete tax benefits of $9 million reduced the effective tax rate by 0.8% and related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation.
For the six-month period ended June 27, 2025, the effective tax rate was reduced by the tax effect from an intangible asset impairment in a jurisdiction with a higher statutory tax rate than the Company’s effective tax rate and the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitations, partially offset by changes in uncertain tax positions. The net impact reduced the effective tax rate by 1.1%.
For the six-month period ended June 28, 2024, net discrete tax benefits of $45 million reduced the effective tax rate by 1.9% and related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitations and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions.

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 U.S. and non-U.S. taxing authorities. The IRS has completed substantially all of the examinations 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-insurance programs with respect to periods after 2018. Management believes the positions the Company has taken in its U.S. tax returns are in accordance with the relevant tax laws.
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted, which includes permanent extensions of most expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions and international tax changes. The Company is still evaluating the potential impacts of the OBBBA; however, the Company does not anticipate it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company expects its effective tax rate for the remainder of 2025 to be approximately 17.0% 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 2025 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 additional 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 compared to the estimate above.
Refer to Note 6 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for discussion regarding the Company’s significant tax matters.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income increased by $538 million and approximately $3.0 billion for the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods of 2024. For the three-month period ended June 27, 2025, 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 27, 2025, the increase in comprehensive income was primarily driven by increased gains from foreign currency translation adjustments and to a lesser extent, gains on cash flow hedges, partially offset by lower net earnings. The Company recorded foreign currency translation gains of approximately $1.0 billion and $121 million for the three-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024, respectively. The Company recorded foreign currency translation gains of approximately $2.5 billion for the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 compared to losses of $827 million for the six-month period ended June 28, 2024. The foreign currency translation gains in the three and six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 were primarily

Table of Contents
driven by the change in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar, Swedish krona, the euro and the British pound. 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 $13 million and $169 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 27, 2025, respectively, as compared to gains of $30 million and losses of $20 million for the comparable periods of 2024.
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 or to take advantage of favorable interest rate environments or other market conditions. Subject to any limitations that may result from market disruptions, the Company anticipates following the same approach in the future.

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.
35
Table of Contents
Operating cash flows were approximately $2.6 billion for the first six months of 2025, a decrease of $519 million, or 16%, as compared to the comparable period of 2024. The year-over-year change in operating cash flows from 2024 to 2025 was primarily attributable to the following factors:
•2025 operating cash flows reflected a decrease of $486 million in net earnings for the first six months of 2025 as compared to the comparable period in 2024.
•Net earnings for the first six months of 2025 also included $492 million higher year-over-year noncash charges primarily for impairments, as well as for unrealized investment gains/losses, intangible asset amortization, depreciation and stock compensation expense, net of a year-over-year decrease in amortization of an acquisition-related inventory step-up and a 2025 pretax gain on the sale of a product line. Depreciation expense relates to the Company’s manufacturing and operating facilities as well as instrumentation leased to customers under OTL arrangements. Depreciation, amortization, impairments 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 used $225 million in operating cash flows during the first six months of 2025, compared to $334 million of operating cash flows provided in the comparable period of 2024. 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 $573 million of operating cash flows during the first six months of 2025, compared to $607 million of operating cash flows used in the comparable period of 2024. The timing of cash income tax payments and customer funding, net of normal operations 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 decreased $181 million in the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 compared to the comparable period of 2024, primarily as a result of a decrease in cash paid for capital expenditures and cash used for purchases of investments. In addition, during the six-month periods ended June 27, 2025 and June 28, 2024 the Company invested $50 million and $127 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, the manufacture of instruments that are used in OTL arrangements that certain of the Company’s businesses enter into with customers, replacing equipment, purchasing facilities, supporting new product development and improving IT systems. Capital expenditures decreased $85 million on a year-over-year basis for the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 compared to the comparable period in 2024.
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 $1.5 billion during the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 compared to approximately $5.8 billion of cash used in the comparable period of 2024. The year-over-year decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to lower repurchases of the Company’s common stock in the 2025 period compared to 2024 and a repayment of long-term borrowings in 2024, partially offset by lower proceeds from the issuance of common stock in connection with stock-based compensation in the 2025 period compared to 2024 and higher dividend payments year-over-year.
For a description of the Company’s outstanding debt as of June 27, 2025 and the Company’s commercial paper programs and credit facility, refer to Note 10 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. As of June 27, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of its respective debt covenants.

Stock Repurchase Program
For information regarding the Company’s stock repurchase program and repurchases of common stock, refer to Part II—Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds”.
Dividends
Aggregate cash payments for dividends on Company common stock during the six-month period ended June 27, 2025 were $423 million compared to $377 million for the six-month period ended June 28, 2024. The increase in dividend payments on the Company’s common stock compared to the comparable period of 2024 is due to the increase in the quarterly dividend rate for common stock beginning with respect to the dividends paid in the second quarter of 2024 and 2025, partially offset by lower average common stock outstanding.
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.32 per share of Company common stock payable on July 25, 2025 to holders of record as of June 27, 2025.
Cash and Cash Requirements
As of June 27, 2025, the Company held approximately $3.0 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, $306 million was held within the U.S. and approximately $2.7 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 any other notes scheduled to mature during the next twelve months, 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. Refer to Note 10 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information regarding the classification of commercial paper and other notes scheduled to mature during the next twelve months.
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 27, 2025, management believes that it has sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy its cash needs, including its cash needs in the U.S.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The Company is supplementing the critical accounting estimates as described in the 2024 Annual Report with the following critical accounting estimate. There have been no other material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates as described in the 2024 Annual Report.
Acquired intangibles - The Company reviews identified intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Determining whether an impairment loss occurred for finite-lived intangibles requires a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. These analyses require management to make judgments and estimates about future revenues, expenses, market conditions and discount rates related to these assets. Indefinite-lived intangibles are subject to impairment testing at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that potential impairment exists. Determining whether an impairment loss occurred for indefinite-lived intangible assets involves calculating the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets and comparing the fair value to their carrying value. In addition, the Company reviews the useful lives for intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that an indefinite life may no longer be appropriate. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss. If actual results are not consistent with management’s
37
Table of Contents
estimates and assumptions, goodwill and other intangible assets may be overstated, and a charge would need to be taken against net earnings which would adversely affect the Company’s financial statements.
The Company estimates the fair value of acquired trade names through the use of a relief from royalty method, which values an indefinite-lived intangible asset by estimating the royalties saved through the ownership of an asset. Under this method, an owner of an indefinite-lived intangible asset determines the arm’s length royalty that likely would have been charged if the owner had to license the asset from a third-party. The royalty rate, which is based on the estimated rate applied against forecasted sales, is tax-effected and discounted to present value using a discount rate commensurate with the relative risk of achieving the cash flow attributable to the asset. Management judgment is necessary to determine key assumptions, including revenue growth rates, perpetual revenue growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates. As further described in Note 8 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, in connection with the decision to reorganize and integrate certain genomics consumables businesses in the Life Sciences operating segment, the Company recorded a noncash impairment charge of $432 328
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on a reporting unit basis. Reporting units resulting from recent acquisitions generally present the highest risk of impairment. Management believes the impairment risk associated with these reporting units generally decreases as these businesses are integrated into the Company and better positioned for potential future earnings growth. The Company’s reorganization and integration of certain businesses in the Life Sciences operating segment at the beginning of third quarter of 2025, as described in the previous paragraph, changed two of its five goodwill reporting units and triggered a goodwill impairment analysis. In the third quarter of 2025, the Company performed goodwill impairment analyses prior to and after the change in reporting units and in both instances, the fair values of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying values and consequently did not result in an impairment charge. In the test of the prior reporting units, the excess of the estimated fair value over carrying value (expressed as a percentage of carrying value for the respective reporting unit) for each of the previous reporting units as of the testing date ranged from approximately 30% to approximately 365%. The excess of the estimated fair value over carrying value for each of the Company’s current reporting units as of the testing date ranged from approximately 40% to approximately 365%. The decrease in the excess of the estimated fair value over carrying value from the Company’s 2024 annual goodwill impairment test to the third quarter 2025 tests reflect the 2025 business performance and the current trading multiples for companies operating in businesses similar to the Company’s reporting units (used within the market approach to estimate fair value under the goodwill impairment test). To evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value calculations used in both goodwill impairment tests, the Company applied a hypothetical 10% decrease to the fair values of each of the reporting units and compared those hypothetical values to the reporting unit carrying values. Based on this hypothetical 10% decrease, the excess of the estimated fair value over carrying value for each of the Company’s current reporting units ranged from approximately 30% to approximately 315%.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's 2024 Annual Report with the following risk factor. Additional information regarding risk factors can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Information Related to Forward-Looking Statements,” in Part I—Item 2 of this Report and in Part I—Item 1A of Danaher’s 2024 Annual Report.
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.
Significant developments or changes in national laws or policies to protect or promote domestic interests and/or address foreign competition, including laws and policies in areas such as trade, manufacturing, government purchasing, healthcare, intellectual property, regulatory enforcement and investment/development, can adversely affect our business and financial statements. The U.S. has announced and/or implemented significant new tariffs on imports from a wide range of countries, which has prompted retaliatory tariffs by a number of countries and a cycle of retaliatory tariffs by both the U.S. and other countries. Subsequently, actions have been taken by the U.S. and certain other countries to modify certain of these tariffs and/or delay their effective dates, but as of July 21, 2025 a number of new tariffs remain in effect, including significant tariffs between the U.S. and China. Collectively, these tariffs increase the cost to us of supplies and components we import, which in turn has required and will require us to implement surcharges and/or increase the price of certain of our products; can increase the cost to our customers of certain of our finished goods, which together with the surcharges and price increases noted above can adversely impact demand for our products and our competitive positioning; could adversely impact the availability to us of certain products in certain countries and disrupt our supply chains, with related impacts to our operations; and could exacerbate inflation, diminish investment and result in broader negative impacts, economic instability and capital markets dislocation that may adversely impact demand for our products. In addition, whenever we are unable to fully recover higher costs, or whenever there is a time delay between the increase in costs and our ability to recover these costs, our margins and profitability can decline. The delayed tariffs may take effect, the U.S. may implement additional tariffs and other measures, further retaliatory tariffs and other retaliatory actions may follow and the risks and adverse effects noted above may increase. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further discussion of the impact of these tariffs. Though the risks identified above in certain cases have already adversely impacted part of our business, the full impact of these tariffs and other actions on the Company and on our business partners remains highly uncertain and subject to rapid change.
In addition, certain governments have implemented policies to induce “re-shoring” of supply chains, reduce reliance on imported supplies and promote national production. For example, the Chinese government has issued a series of policies in the past several years to promote the development and use of local medical devices.
All of the risks identified in this risk factor can adversely affect our business and financial statements.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Neither the Company nor any “affiliated purchaser” repurchased any shares of Company common stock during the three-month period ended June 27, 2025. On July 22, 2024, 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. As of June 27, 2025, approximately 12 million shares remained available for repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Program. There is no expiration date for the Repurchase Program, and the timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the program will be determined by members of the Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The Repurchase 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. The Company expects to fund any future stock repurchases using the Company’s available cash balances or proceeds from the issuance of debt.
