Insights

Corporate actions & capital markets analyst

Spin-off completed; modest growth; debt paydown and large buybacks.

Fortive grew Q3 sales to $1,027.1M, with continuing operations earnings of $117.0M. The company completed the Ralliant spin-off (1-for-3 distribution) and received a $1.15B dividend from Ralliant prior to distribution.

Management redeployed this cash to reduce leverage: redeemed €252M of 3.7% notes due 2026 and repaid the Euro and Yen term loans ($324M and $98M). Commercial paper outstanding was $755.0M, supported by an undrawn $2.0B revolver.

The company executed sizable buybacks, repurchasing 20.8M shares in Q3 at $47.98 average, with shares outstanding at 317.6M on Sep 26, 2025. Actual impact depends on ongoing operating performance and future capital allocation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Fortive Corporation (“Fortive,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) innovates essential technologies to keep the world safe and productive. Our strategic segments - Intelligent Operating Solutions (“IOS”) and Advanced Healthcare Solutions (“AHS”) - include iconic inventor brands with leading positions in their markets. Our businesses design, develop, manufacture, and market products, software, and services, building upon leading brand names, innovative technologies, and strong market positions. Our research and development, manufacturing, sales, distribution, service, and administrative facilities are located in approximately 50 countries around the world.

We prepared the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the footnotes (“Notes”) thereto included within our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain of our operations have been presented as discontinued operations. We present businesses whose disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations and financial results as discontinued operations when the components meet the criteria for held for sale, are sold, or spun-off.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, which consist of only normal, recurring accruals necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Precision Technologies Separation

On June 28, 2025 (the “Distribution Date”), the Company completed the separation (the “Separation” or the “PT Separation”) of its former Precision Technologies segment by distributing to Fortive shareholders on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Ralliant Corporation (“Ralliant”), the entity incorporated to hold the PT businesses. The requirements for reporting the Ralliant business as discontinued operations were met upon completion of the PT Separation. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in this quarterly report refer to continuing operations. Refer to Note 2 for additional information.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

On the Distribution Date, due to certain investments in foreign subsidiaries transferred to Ralliant, the Company de-designated as net investment hedges the outstanding €500 million Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2026, €275 million Euro-denominated term loan, and ¥14.4 billion Yen-denominated term loan. Refer to Note 4 for further detail on the repayments of these debt instruments during the third quarter of 2025. As of September 26, 2025, a portion of the €700 million Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2029 remained designated as a net investment hedge on our investment in applicable foreign operations.

When designated as net investment hedge, the after-tax foreign currency transaction gains and losses on the debt were deferred in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on our investments in foreign subsidiaries. Any amounts deferred in AOCI will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated. Concurrent with the Separation, cumulative net foreign currency transaction losses of $120 million were reclassified from AOCI into retained earnings.

We recognized after-tax foreign currency transaction gains of $0.7 million and losses of $159.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, respectively, and losses of $59.7 million and $38.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, respectively, on the debt that was deferred in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on our investments in foreign subsidiaries. We recorded no ineffectiveness from our net investment hedges during the three and nine-month periods ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024. Foreign currency translation adjustments are generally not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, the foreign currency transaction gains associated with Euro-denominated notes not designated as a net investment hedge were immaterial.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

All trade accounts and unbilled receivables are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets adjusted for any write-offs and net of allowances for credit losses. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our unbilled and trade accounts receivable portfolios over the life of the underlying assets. Additions to the allowances are charged to current period earnings, amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against the allowances, while amounts recovered on previously written-off accounts increase the allowances. During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024, the activity was immaterial.

Restructuring

In the fourth quarter of 2024, we initiated a discrete restructuring plan that was initially expected to be completed by December 31, 2025, and has been extended through the second half of 2026. The nature of the plan is related to the Separation and consisted primarily of targeted workforce reductions to realign cost structures. During the nine months ended September 26, 2025, we incurred charges of $14 million. The restructuring charges incurred during the three months ended September 26, 2025 and the accrued restructuring costs as of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were immaterial.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends certain disclosure requirements related to income taxes on an annual basis. This standard is effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. This standard should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. We are planning to apply the standard on a prospective basis. Upon adoption, we will update the applicable annual disclosures to align with the new standard but there will be no impact on reported income tax expense or related tax assets or liabilities.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) — Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which amends the disclosure requirements related to certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis. This standard is effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and interim periods within fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, and could be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. The adoption of the standard will not impact our consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, we will update the applicable interim and annual disclosures to align with the new standard.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) — Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient to measure credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contracts assets. The practical expedient allows companies to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset when measuring credit losses. This standard is effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and interim periods within 2026, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied on a prospective basis. We are not anticipating this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) — Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which clarifies and modernizes the software cost capitalization guidance by removing the previous “development stage” model and introducing a more judgment-based approach. This standard is effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, and interim periods within 2028, with early adoption permitted, and could be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. We are currently in the process of evaluating the effects of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On the Distribution Date, the Company completed the PT Separation by distributing all of the issued and outstanding shares of Ralliant, the entity that was created to hold the corresponding businesses, to Fortive stockholders on a pro rata basis. To effect the Separation, the Company distributed to its stockholders one share of Ralliant common stock for every three shares of Fortive common stock held on June 16, 2025, the record date for the distribution. Fortive stockholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Ralliant common stock that they would have received after application of this ratio.

In preparation for the Separation, on May 15, 2025, Ralliant entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and on June 27, 2025, borrowed $1.15 billion to fund the $1.15 billion cash dividend Ralliant made to Fortive prior to the Distribution Date (the “Ralliant Dividend”).

The accounting requirements for reporting Ralliant as a discontinued operation were met when the Separation was completed. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements for all periods presented reflect this business as a discontinued operation.

In connection with the Separation, the Company incurred $46 million and $109 million in Separation-related costs during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, respectively, which were recorded within net earnings (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. These costs were primarily related to professional fees associated with finance, tax, legal, banking and information technology services as well as redundant general and administrative costs.

Table of Contents

Fortive and Ralliant entered into various agreements to effect the Separation and provide a framework for their relationship after the Separation, including a separation and distribution agreement, a transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement, a Fortive Business System (“FBS”) license agreement and a Fort solutions license agreement. These agreements provide for the allocation between Fortive and Ralliant of assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including investments, property, employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Separation and govern certain relationships between Fortive and Ralliant after the Separation. The amounts paid and received by Fortive for transition services provided under the above agreements as well as sales and purchases to and from Ralliant were not material to the Company’s results of operations during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025.

The key components of income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025 and September 27, 2024 were as follows ($ in millions):

NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value for assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value, and provide for certain disclosures related to the valuation methods used within the 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) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•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 our 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.

Below is a summary of financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($ in millions):

			Quoted Prices in Active Market (Level 1)						Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)						Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)						Total
September 26, 2025
Deferred compensation liabilities			$	—					$	39.8					$	—					$	39.8
December 31, 2024
Deferred compensation liabilities			—						39.2						—						39.2

Certain management employees participate in our nonqualified deferred compensation programs that permit such employees to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pretax basis, until after their termination of employment. All amounts deferred under such plans are unfunded, unsecured obligations and are recorded within Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Participants may choose among alternative earning rates for the amounts they defer, which are primarily based on investment options within our defined contribution plans for the benefit of U.S. employees (except that the earnings rates for amounts contributed unilaterally by the Company are entirely based on changes in the value of Fortive common stock). Changes in the deferred compensation liability under these programs are recognized based on changes in the fair value of the participants’ accounts and are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain non-financial assets, primarily property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at their carrying value. However, these assets are required to be assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. We evaluated events or circumstances that may indicate the carrying value of our non-financial assets may not be fully recoverable during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, and recorded no impairments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount and fair value of financial instruments are as follows ($ in millions):

			September 26, 2025												December 31, 2024
			Carrying Amount						Fair Value						Carrying Amount						Fair Value
Current portion of long-term debt			$	1,189.2					$	1,183.6					$	376.2					$	376.3
Long-term debt, net of current maturities			2,117.1						2,059.5						3,331.1						3,243.8

As of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, net of current maturities were categorized as Level 1.

Table of Contents

The fair value of the long-term borrowings were based on quoted market prices. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amounts of long-term borrowings may be attributable to changes in market interest rates and/or our credit ratings subsequent to the borrowing. The fair value of cash and equivalents, trade accounts receivable, net, trade accounts payable, and commercial paper approximates their carrying amount due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

NOTE 4. FINANCING

The components of our debt were as follows ($ in millions):

Refer to Note 9 of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details of our debt financing.

Commercial Paper Programs

We generally satisfy any short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flows and available cash primarily through issuances of commercial paper under our U.S. dollar commercial paper programs. Under this program, we may issue unsecured promissory notes with maturities not exceeding 397 days. Proceeds from borrowings under the commercial paper programs are typically available for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.

Interest expense on commercial paper is paid at maturity and is generally based on our credit ratings at the time of issuance and prevailing short-term interest rates.

The details of our outstanding Commercial Paper Programs as of September 26, 2025 were as follows ($ in millions):

			Carrying value (a)						Annual effective rate						Weighted average maturity (in days)
U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper			$	754.0					4.43		%				27
(a) Net of unamortized debt discount.

Credit support for the Commercial Paper Programs is provided by a five-year $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on October 18, 2027 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which, to the extent not otherwise providing credit support for our commercial paper programs, can also be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of September 26, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

We classified our borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Programs as of September 26, 2025 as Long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as we had the intent and ability, as supported by availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, to refinance these borrowings for at least one year from the balance sheet date.

During the third quarter, Fortive used approximately $302 million of the Ralliant Dividend to redeem €252 million of the outstanding principal of the 3.7% Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2026, and the accrued interest thereon, with €248 million, or approximately $290 million remaining outstanding following such redemption. Fortive also used $324 million and $98 million of the Ralliant Dividend to repay the outstanding principle of the Euro Term Loan and Yen Term Loan, and accrued interest thereon.

NOTE 5. SALES

We derive revenue primarily from the sales of products, including software, and services. Revenue is recognized when control of promised products or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products, software, or services.

Product sales include revenue from the sale of products and equipment, which includes our software and software as a service (“SaaS”) product offerings and equipment rentals. Service sales include revenues from extended warranties, post-contract customer support (“PCS”), maintenance contracts or services, contract labor to perform ongoing service at a customer location, services related to previously sold products, and software implementation services.

Contract Assets — In certain circumstances, we record contract assets which include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not only subject to the passage of time. Contract assets were $150 million as of September 26, 2025 and $116 million as of December 31, 2024. Contract assets are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Contract Costs — We incur and capitalize incremental costs to obtain certain contracts, typically sales-related commissions where the amortization period is greater than one year and costs associated with assets used by our customers in certain service arrangements. As of September 26, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $71 million and $59 million, respectively, in net revenue-related contract costs primarily related to certain software contracts. Revenue-related contract costs are recorded within Other assets in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. These assets have estimated useful lives between three and five years.

Contract Liabilities — Our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue generally related to subscription-based software contracts, PCS and extended warranty sales, where we generally receive up-front payment and recognize revenue over the service or support term. We classify deferred revenue as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The current portion of deferred revenue is recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion of deferred revenue is recorded within Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Our contract liabilities consisted of the following ($ in millions):

			September 26, 2025						December 31, 2024
Deferred revenue - current			$	415.0					$	410.1
Deferred revenue - noncurrent			21.1						23.1
Total contract liabilities			$	436.1					$	433.2

During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, we recognized revenue related to our contract liabilities at December 31, 2024 of $78 million and $339 million, respectively. The change in our contract liabilities from December 31, 2024 to September 26, 2025 was primarily due to the timing of billings and revenue recognized for subscription-based software contracts, PCS and extended warranty services.

Remaining Performance Obligations — Our remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm, non-cancelable orders and the average contract value for software contracts, for which work has not been performed. We have excluded performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less from the amounts below.

The aggregate remaining performance obligations attributable to each of our segments is as follows ($ in millions):

			September 26, 2025
Intelligent Operating Solutions			$	701.2
Advanced Healthcare Solutions			109.4
Total remaining performance obligations			$	810.6

The majority of remaining performance obligations are related to service and support contracts, which we expect to fulfill approximately 75 percent within the next two years, approximately 90 percent within the next three years, and substantially all within four years.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax (benefit) rate for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025 was 13.3% and 16.4%, respectively, as compared to (2.2)% and 11.3%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 26, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2024 was primarily related to changes in applicable statutory tax rates, resulting in a discrete benefit in the comparable prior year period. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 27, 2024 was primarily related to changes in applicable statutory tax rates.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the impact of credits and deductions provided by law, including those associated with state income taxes, and changes in our uncertain tax position reserves.

NOTE 7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”), provides for the grant of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, and performance stock units (collectively, “Stock Awards”), stock options, or any other stock-based award. As of September 26, 2025, approximately 12 million shares of our common stock were available for subsequent issuance under the Stock Plan. For a full description of our Stock Plan, refer to Note 14 of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock-based compensation has been recognized as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings based on the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

Table of Contents

The following summarizes the components of our stock-based compensation expense under the Stock Plan ($ in millions):

			Three Months Ended												Nine Months Ended
			September 26, 2025						September 27, 2024						September 26, 2025						September 27, 2024

Stock options:
Pretax compensation expense			18.2						6.9						28.0						20.0
Income tax benefit			(2.6)						(1.0)						(4.0)						(2.8)
Stock option expense, net of income taxes			15.6						5.9						24.0						17.2
Total stock-based compensation:
Pretax compensation expense			50.9						22.9						96.9						67.1
Income tax benefit			(5.2)						(3.5)						(13.0)						(9.7)
Total stock-based compensation expense, net of income taxes			$	45.7					$	19.4					$	83.9					$	57.4

The following summarizes the unrecognized compensation cost for the Stock Awards and stock options as of September 26, 2025. This compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years, representing the remaining service period related to the awards. Future compensation amounts will be adjusted for any changes in estimated forfeitures ($ in millions):

Stock Awards			$	103.5
Stock options			23.6
Total unrecognized compensation cost			$	127.1

Ralliant Separation

In connection with the Separation and in accordance with the employee matters agreement between Fortive and Ralliant, the number of shares underlying each stock-based award outstanding as of the date of the Separation was multiplied by a factor of 1.3662 and the related exercise price for the stock options was divided by a factor of 1.3662, which was intended to preserve the intrinsic value of the awards immediately prior to the Separation. The adjustment factor was calculated using the Fortive common stock per share price at the close of market on June 27, 2025 relative to the 3-trading day volume weighted average price of Fortive common stock immediately after the Separation. Stock-based awards of Fortive held by employees who transferred to Ralliant in the Separation were converted into stock-based awards of Ralliant issued under Ralliant’s stock plan. Additionally, at the completion of the Separation, we accelerated the recognition of compensation expense related to certain Stock Awards due to executive retirements. In the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, we recorded $33 million of stock based compensation expense related to these adjustments within Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings.

NOTE 9. NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of shares under stock-based compensation plans under the treasury stock method, except where the inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive impact. Anti-dilutive options excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for the three months ended September 26, 2025 were 4.4 million, and none for the nine months ended September 26, 2025, and were 1.5 million and 1.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024.

Information related to the calculation of net earnings per share of common stock is summarized as follows ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

Share Repurchase Programs

On February 17, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 20 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock (the “General Share Repurchase Program”). Under this program, shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plans”). On January 23, 2024 and May 27, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the number of shares authorized under the share repurchase program by an additional 11 million and 15.6 million shares, respectively. On May 27, 2025, in connection with the Separation, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a separate and incremental special purpose share repurchase program (the “Special Purpose Share Repurchase Program”) under which Fortive may purchase up to $550 million in Fortive’s common stock exclusively from the proceeds of the Ralliant Dividend, together with any other cash received by Fortive from Ralliant in connection with the Separation (collectively, the “Ralliant Cash Proceeds”). Repurchases of shares of Fortive common stock using the Ralliant Cash Proceeds will only be made through the Special Purpose Share Repurchase Program.

As of September 26, 2025, there were 8.3 million shares and $78.2 million remaining authorized under the General Share Repurchase Program and Special Share Repurchase Program, respectively. There is no expiration date for these repurchase programs, and the timing and amount of repurchases under the programs are determined by the Company's management based on market conditions, tax regulation and other factors. The repurchase programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Board of Directors. Refer to Part II - Item 2 for additional information.

During the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, the Company purchased 20.8 million and 25.2 million shares of its common stock at an average share price of $47.98 and $52.99, respectively. Prior to the Separation, during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024, the Company purchased 3.8 million and 5.8 million shares of its common stock at an average share price of $70.87 and $72.78, respectively. Our common stock repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act. Any excise tax incurred is recorded as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired within Common stock repurchases in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Equity. The payment of the excise tax is recorded within Repurchase of common shares in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.

NOTE 10. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We report our results in two separate business segments consisting of Intelligent Operating Solutions and Advanced Healthcare Solutions. We determine our business segments based on the identification of segment managers and similarities in products, end markets, economic characteristics, technologies, and services, as well as the financial data utilized by the Company's chief executive officer. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the chief executive officer.

The CODM uses gross profit and operating profit at the segment level to assess performance and allocate resources, including merger and acquisition targets. The CODM also compares the actual results to expectations in assessing the performance of the segments. Gross profit represents total revenue less total cost of sales. Operating expenses generally include selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses. Depreciation expense is allocated between Cost of sales and Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Amortization expense is recorded within Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Operating profit represents gross profit less operating expenses. The identifiable assets by segment are those used in each segment’s operations. Inter-segment amounts are not significant and are eliminated in the combined totals. Unallocated costs and other costs are not considered part of our evaluation of reportable segment operating performance.

The IOS segment provides advanced instrumentation, software and services to tens of thousands of customers enabling their mission-critical workflows. These offerings include professional instruments used in applications including maintenance, repair, measurement and condition monitoring, facility and asset lifecycle software applications, connected worker safety and compliance solutions across a range of vertical end markets, including manufacturing, process industries, healthcare, utilities and power, communications and electronics, among others. Typical users of these safety, productivity and sustainability solutions include electrical engineers, electricians, electronic technicians, EHS professionals, network technicians, facility managers, first-responders, and maintenance professionals.

The AHS segment supplies critical workflow solutions enabling healthcare providers to deliver exceptional patient care more efficiently. Our offerings include instrument sterilization solutions, instrument tracking, biomedical test tools, radiation detection and safety monitoring, and end-to-end clinical productivity software and solutions. Our healthcare offerings help ensure critical safety standards are met, instruments and operating rooms are working at peak performance, and complex procedures are followed accurately in these mission-critical healthcare environments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fortive Corporation (“Fortive,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) innovates essential technologies to keep the world safe and productive. Our strategic segments - Intelligent Operating Solutions (“IOS”) and Advanced Healthcare Solutions (“AHS”) - include iconic inventor brands with leading positions in their markets. Our businesses design, develop, manufacture, and market products, software, and services, building upon leading brand names, innovative technologies, and strong market positions. Our research and development, manufacturing, sales, distribution, service, and administrative facilities are located in approximately 50 countries around the world.

Precision Technologies Separation

On June 28, 2025 (the “Distribution Date”), the Company completed the separation (the “Separation” or the “PT Separation”) of its former Precision Technologies segment by distributing to Fortive shareholders on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Ralliant Corporation (“Ralliant”), the entity incorporated to hold the PT businesses. The accounting requirements for reporting Ralliant as a discontinued operation were met when the Separation was completed. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements for all periods presented reflect this business as a discontinued operation. Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this report refer to continuing operations. Refer to Note 2 of the consolidated condensed financial statements for additional information.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the MD&A and consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our MD&A is divided into five sections:

•Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

•Overview

•Results of Operations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Critical Accounting Estimates

INFORMATION RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this quarterly report, in other documents we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in our press releases, webcasts, conference calls, materials delivered to shareholders and other communications, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws. All statements other than historical factual information are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding: projections of revenue, expenses, profit, profit margins, tax rates, tax provisions, cash flows, pension and benefit obligations and funding requirements, our liquidity position or other financial measures; impact of government actions, including tariffs, other trade policies, government spending and tax laws; management’s plans and strategies for future operations, including statements relating to anticipated operating performance, cost reductions, restructuring activities, new product and service developments, competitive strengths or market position, acquisitions, divestitures, strategic opportunities, stock repurchases, and dividends; growth, declines and other trends in markets we sell into, including the expected impact of trade and tariff policies; new or modified laws, regulations and accounting pronouncements; outstanding claims, legal proceedings, tax audits and assessments and other contingent liabilities; foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates; general economic and capital markets conditions, including expected impact of inflation or interest rate changes; impact of geopolitical events and other hostilities; the timing of any of the foregoing; assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and any other statements that address events or developments that we intend or believe will or may occur in the future. Terminology, such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “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 they believe to be appropriate. 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

Table of Contents

place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those envisaged in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

Risk Related to Our Business Operations

•Conditions in the global economy, the markets we serve, and the financial markets may adversely affect our business and financial results.

•If we cannot adjust our manufacturing capacity, supply chain management or the purchases required for our manufacturing activities to reflect changes in market conditions, international trade policies, customer demand, prolonged government shutdown, and supply chain disruptions, our profitability may suffer. In addition, our reliance upon sole or limited sources of supply for certain materials, components, and services could cause production interruptions, delays and inefficiencies.

•Our financial results are subject to fluctuations in the cost and availability of commodities or components that we use in our operations.

•Our growth could suffer if the markets into which we sell our products and services decline, do not grow as anticipated, or experience cyclicality.

•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 prices for our products and services.

•Our growth depends in part on the timely development and commercialization and customer acceptance of new and enhanced products and services based on technological innovation.

•Our ability to attract, develop, and retain senior leaders and other key employees is critical to our success.

•Disruptions in, or breaches in security of, our information technology systems have adversely affected, and in the future could adversely affect, our business.

•Defects and unanticipated use or inadequate disclosure with respect to our products (including software) or services could adversely affect our business, reputation, and financial results.

•Adverse changes in our relationships with, or the financial condition, performance, purchasing patterns, or inventory levels of, key distributors and other channel partners could adversely affect our financial results.

•Our restructuring activities could have long-term adverse effects on our business.

•Work stoppages, works council campaigns, and other labor disputes could adversely impact our productivity and results of operations.

•If we suffer loss to our facilities, supply chains, distribution systems, or information technology systems due to catastrophe or other events, our operations could be seriously harmed.

•If we do not or cannot adequately protect our intellectual property, or if third parties infringe our intellectual property rights, we may suffer competitive injury or expend significant resources enforcing our rights.

•Third parties may claim that we are infringing or misappropriating their intellectual property rights and we could suffer significant litigation expenses, losses, or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products or services.

•We are subject to a variety of litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings in the course of our business that could adversely affect our financial results.

•Climate change, or legal or regulatory measures to address climate change, may negatively affect us.

•We use artificial intelligence in our business and in our products, and challenges with properly managing its use could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and adversely affect our results of operations.

Risk Related to our International Operations

•International economic, political, legal, trade policies, compliance, and business factors could negatively affect our financial results.

27

Table of Contents

•Trade relations between the United States and other countries, including imposition of tariffs and related uncertainty thereof, and the impact on cost and demand resulting therefrom could continue to have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

•Foreign currency exchange rates, including the volatility thereof, may adversely affect our financial results.

Risk Related to Our Acquisitions, Investments, and Dispositions

•Any inability to consummate acquisitions at appropriate prices, and to make appropriate investments and capital allocation that support our long-term strategy, could negatively impact our growth rate and stock price.

•Our acquisition of businesses, investments, joint ventures, and other strategic relationships could negatively impact our financial results.

•The indemnification provisions of acquisition agreements by which we have acquired companies may not fully protect us and as a result we may face unexpected liabilities.

•Divestitures or other dispositions could negatively impact our business, and contingent liabilities from businesses that we have sold could adversely affect our financial results.

•Potential indemnification liabilities to Ralliant Corporation (“Ralliant”) and Vontier Corporation (“Vontier”) pursuant to the respective separation agreements could materially and adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Risk Related to Regulatory and Compliance Matters

•Changes in industry standards and governmental regulations may reduce demand for our products or services or increase our expenses.

•Our reputation, ability to do business, and financial results may be impaired by improper conduct by any of our employees, agents, or business partners.

•Our operations, products, and services expose us to the risk of environmental, health, and safety liabilities, costs, and violations that could adversely affect our reputation and financial results.

•Our businesses are subject to extensive regulation, including healthcare regulations; failure to comply with those regulations could adversely affect our financial results and our business, including our reputation.

Risk Related to Our Tax and Accounting Matters

•Changes in our effective tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities or assessments could affect our profitability. In addition, audits by tax authorities could result in additional tax payments for prior periods.

•We could incur significant liability if our separation from Danaher, our separation of our Automation and Specialty business, our separation of Vontier, or our separation of Ralliant (collectively, the “Separation Transactions”) is determined to be a taxable transaction.

•Changes in U.S. GAAP could adversely affect our reported financial results and may require significant changes to our internal accounting systems and processes.

•We may be required to recognize impairment charges for our goodwill and other intangible assets.

Risk Related to Our Financing Activities

•We have incurred a significant amount of debt, and our debt obligations, including the cost of such debt, will increase further if we incur additional debt and do not retire existing debt, our credit rating declines, or if the applicable interest rates rise.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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, materials or other communication in which they are made (or such earlier date as may be specified in such statement). 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

Fortive is a multinational business with global operations with approximately 44% of our sales derived from customers outside the United States in 2024. As a company with global operations, our businesses are affected by worldwide, regional, and industry-specific economic, trade policies, fiscal policies, regulatory, and political factors. Our geographic and industry diversity, as well as the range of products, software, and services we offer, typically help limit the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country, except for the United States, on our operating results. Given the broad range of products manufactured, software and services provided, and geographies served, we do not use any indices other than general economic trends to predict the overall outlook for the Company. Our individual businesses monitor key competitors and customers, including their sales, to the extent possible, to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future.

As a result of our geographic and industry diversity, we face a variety of opportunities and challenges, including technological development in most of the markets we serve, the expansion and evolution of opportunities in growing markets, trends and costs associated with a global labor force, trade policies, and consolidation of our competitors. We operate in a highly competitive business environment in most markets, and our long-term growth and profitability will depend, in particular, on our ability to expand our business across geographies and market segments, identify, consummate, and integrate appropriate acquisitions, develop innovative and differentiated new products, services, and software, expand and improve the effectiveness of our sales force, continue to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency and quality, attract relevant talent and retain, grow, and empower our talented workforce, and effectively address the demands of an increasingly regulated environment. We are making significant investments, organically and through acquisitions, to address technological change in the markets we serve and to improve our manufacturing, research and development, and customer-facing resources in order to be responsive to our customers throughout the world.

Segment Presentation

The IOS segment provides advanced instrumentation, software and services to tens of thousands of customers enabling their mission-critical workflows. The AHS segment supplies critical workflow solutions enabling healthcare providers to deliver exceptional patient care more efficiently. Refer to Note 10 of the consolidated condensed financial statements for further description of each segment.

Non-GAAP Measures

In this report, references to sales from existing businesses (“core revenue”) refer to sales from operations calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) but excluding (1) the impact from acquired and divested businesses and (2) the impact of foreign currency translation. References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition, less the amount of sales attributable to certain businesses or product lines that have been divested, or, at the time of reporting, are pending divestiture, but are not, and will not be, considered discontinued operations prior to the first anniversary of the divestiture. The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. Core revenue 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 the non-GAAP financial measure of core revenue provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisition and divestiture related items because the nature, size, and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation from core revenue because the impact of currency translation is not under management’s control and is subject to volatility. Management believes the exclusion of the effect of acquisitions and divestitures and currency translation may facilitate the assessment of underlying business trends and may assist in comparisons of long-term performance. References to sales volume from existing businesses refer to the impact of both price and unit sales.

Business Trends

Our financial outlook is subject to various assumptions and risks, including but not limited to: ongoing geopolitical events; global economic and consumer trends and sentiments; monetary policies; inflationary pressures on expenses and pricing; uncertainties in governmental policies on international trade, regulations, sanctions, and healthcare; prolonged government shutdown; operational challenges from tariffs; foreign exchange rate volatility, including the impact of unhedged foreign currency debts; reduction in U.S. government spending due to H.R.1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act; and overall fiscal policies, including investment and taxation policy initiatives being considered in the U.S.; the incremental impacts of the Pillar Two initiative from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”); and the impact from the Separation.

The development of tariffs and trade relations remains uncertain. While most of the reciprocal tariffs have been implemented in August of 2025, certain of these tariffs have been temporarily postponed until November of 2025, with periodic escalation. For additional discussion of risks related to tariffs and trade relations, please refer to the risk factor, “Trade relations between the United States and other countries, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs and related uncertainty thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results” in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2025.

We continue to monitor the conditions above and deploy the Fortive Business System (“FBS”), including tools and processes to leverage existing sourcing strategies and optimize production and logistics to actively manage these challenges and utilize pricing, cost and productivity actions and other countermeasures designed to offset the aforementioned dynamics.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales Growth

The following table summarizes total aggregate year-over-year sales growth and the components thereof for the third quarter as compared to the comparable period of 2024:

Components of Sales Growth

			% Change Three Months Ended September 26, 2025 vs. Comparable 2024 Period						% Change Nine Months Ended September 26, 2025 vs. Comparable 2024 Period
Total revenue growth (GAAP)			2.3		%				0.9		%
Excluding impact of:
Divestitures			0.3		%				0.2		%
Currency exchange rates			(0.7)		%				—		%
Core revenue growth (Non-GAAP)			1.9		%				1.1		%

Sales in the three months ended September 26, 2025 (the “quarter” or the “third quarter”) were driven by favorable pricing of 2.6%, partially offset by volume decline of 0.7%. Sales in the nine months ended September 26, 2025 (“year-to-date period”) were driven by favorable pricing of 2.3%, partially offset by volume decline of 1.2%.

Geographically, in the third quarter, core revenue growth was driven primarily by strengthening demand in North America, led by the IOS segment, partially offset by modest declines in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”), mostly in Europe. In the year-to-date period, core revenue growth was driven by moderate growth in North America in both segments, partially offset by modest declines in EMEA, mostly in Europe.

Operating Profit Margins

In the third quarter and year-to-date period, respectively, operating profit margin was 15.5% and 16.3%, comparing to 17.1% and 16.8% in the comparable period of 2024, resulting in a decrease of 160 basis points and 50 basis points:

•The year-over-year increase in price and gains from productivity measures through our FBS initiatives partially offset by volume declines, higher employee compensation, and unfavorable impacts from tariffs net of countermeasures — favorable 205 basis points and 105 basis points, in the third quarter and year-to-date period, respectively

•The year-over year effect of all other items in the third quarter including -370 basis points primarily from incremental stock-based compensation costs related to the Separation, +25 basis points from amortization of existing businesses and -20 basis points in discrete restructuring charges — unfavorable 365 basis points

•The year-over year effect of all other items in the year-to-date period including -125 basis points primarily from incremental stock-based compensation costs related to the Separation, -45 basis points in discrete restructuring charges, +15 basis points from amortization of existing businesses — unfavorable 155 basis points

Sales growth in the third quarter and year-to-date period were driven by favorable pricing of 2.4%, and 2.1%, respectively, including countermeasures to mitigate unfavorable tariff impacts. Volume declined slightly in the third quarter, and declined modestly in the year-to-date period, driven by declines in professional instrumentation, partially offset by increases in facilities and asset lifecycle software and gas detection.

Geographically, in the third quarter, core revenue growth was driven primarily by solid growth in North America, partially offset by declines in EMEA, mostly in Europe. In the year to date period, core revenue growth was driven by moderate growth in North America, partially offset by modest declines in EMEA, mostly in Europe.

In the third quarter and year-to-date period, operating profit margin increased 110 basis points and 60 basis points, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods of 2024:

The year-over-year increase in SG&A during both the third quarter and year-to-date period were primarily due to incremental stock-based compensation related to the Separation incurred in 2025, higher employee compensation costs, and discrete restructuring charges, all partially offset by benefits from productivity measures through our FBS initiatives.

R&D, consisting principally of internal and contract engineering personnel costs, remained relatively flat during the third quarter and increased slightly during the year-to-date period as compared to the comparable period of 2024 due to ongoing investments in innovation.

NON-OPERATING INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

Interest costs

Net interest expense for the third quarter and year-to-date period was $25.4 million and $89.5 million as compared to $37.1 million and $119.8 million in the comparable periods in 2024. The year-over-year decrease in net interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in outstanding debt and lower interest rates on floating rate debt instruments. For discussion of our outstanding indebtedness, refer to Note 4 to the consolidated condensed financial statements.

Other non-operating income (expense), net

Other non-operating income for the third quarter and year-to-date period was $0.8 million and $3.1 million, as compared to expense of $25.8 million and $58.2 million in the comparable periods in 2024. The year-over-year change in both the third quarter and year-to-date was primarily due to losses from our equity investments recognized in the comparable prior year periods. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2024, there was a charitable contribution made to the Fortive Foundation, a related party, without any donor imposed conditions or restrictions.

INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax (benefit) rate for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025 was 13.3% and 16.4%, respectively, as compared to (2.2)% and 11.3%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 26, 2025 as compared to the three months ended September 27, 2024 was primarily related to changes in applicable statutory tax rates, resulting in a discrete benefit in the comparable prior year period. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 26, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 27, 2024 was primarily related to changes in applicable statutory tax rates.

33

Table of Contents

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2025, differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the impact of credits and deductions provided by law, including those associated with state income taxes, and changes in our uncertain tax position reserves.

Globally, the Company monitors legislative action and OECD initiatives related to global taxation. The impact of the OECD framework for a “Pillar Two” global minimum corporate income tax rate of fifteen percent (15%) has been included within the provision for income taxes. On June 28, 2025, the OECD released a statement recognizing an agreement between OECD and the G20 to recognize the U.S. minimum tax rules to exempt U.S. multinationals certain portions of the Pillar Two framework. We continue to monitor further guidance and legislative developments related to the Pillar Two framework.

H.R.1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, enacted in the U.S on July 4, 2025 resulted in significant income tax provisions with effective dates spanning from 2025 through 2027. Changes from H.R.1 include modifications to allow for immediate expensing of certain business investments and provides certain permanent extensions and modifications to the U.S. international tax framework. There is no material impact of H.R.1 to our continuing operations financial statements.

Repatriation

Foreign cumulative earnings remain subject to foreign remittance taxes. We have made an election regarding the amount of earnings that we do not intend to repatriate due to local working capital needs, local law restrictions, high foreign remittance costs, previous investments in physical assets and acquisitions, or future growth needs. For most of our foreign operations, we make an assertion regarding the amount of earnings in excess of intended repatriation that are expected to be held for indefinite reinvestment. No provisions for foreign remittance taxes have been made with respect to earnings that are planned to be reinvested indefinitely. The amount of foreign remittance taxes that may be applicable to such earnings is not readily determinable given local law restrictions that may apply to a portion of such earnings, unknown changes in foreign tax law that may occur during the applicable restriction periods caused by applicable local corporate law for cash repatriation, and the various tax planning alternatives we could employ if we repatriated these earnings.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income decreased by $267 million during the third quarter as compared to the comparable period in 2024 due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency translation of $100 million, partially offset by a $6 million increase in net earnings from continuing operations. Additionally, there was a $172 million decrease in net earnings from discontinued operations.

Comprehensive income decreased by $55 million during the year-to-date period as compared to the comparable period in 2024 due primarily to favorable changes in foreign currency translation adjustments of $176 million and a $52 million increase in net earnings from continuing operations. Additionally, there was a $283 million decrease in net earnings from discontinued operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing, and financing activities. We generate substantial cash from operating activities and believe that our operating cash flow and other sources of liquidity, which consist of available cash, our revolving credit facility, and access to commercial paper, bank loans, and capital markets, will be sufficient to allow us to continue funding and investing in our existing businesses, consummate strategic acquisitions, execute strategic separations, repurchase common stock, make interest and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, fulfill our contractual obligations, and manage our capital structure on a short and long-term basis.

As of September 26, 2025, we held approximately $431 million of cash and equivalents that were invested in highly liquid investment-grade instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less, of which approximately 93% was held outside of the United States.

We have generally satisfied any short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flows and available cash through issuances of commercial paper under our U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper program. Credit support for this program is provided by a five-year $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on October 18, 2027 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which, to the extent not otherwise providing credit support for the commercial paper programs, can also be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of September 26, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. We also may from time to time access the capital markets, including to take advantage of favorable interest rate environments or other market conditions.

The availability of the Revolving Credit Facility as a standby liquidity facility to repay maturing commercial paper is an important factor in maintaining the existing credit ratings of the Commercial Paper Programs when we have outstanding

34

Table of Contents

borrowings. We expect to limit any future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to amounts that would leave sufficient credit available under the facility to allow us to borrow, if needed, and repay any outstanding commercial paper as it matures.

On June 7, 2023, we filed with the SEC an “automatic shelf” registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Under the Shelf Registration Statement, we may from time to time sell shares of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depository shares, purchase contracts, purchase units, warrants and subscription rights in one or more offerings.

We continue to monitor the financial markets, the stability of U.S. and international banks and general global economic conditions. In addition, our access to the capital markets and other financing sources is impacted by any change in our credit rating. If changes in financial markets or other areas of the economy or downgrade in our credit rating adversely affect our access to the capital markets and other financing sources, we would expect to rely on a combination of available cash and existing available capacity under our credit facilities to provide short-term funding. As of September 26, 2025, we expect to have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs for the foreseeable future.

Refer to Note 4 of the consolidated condensed financial statements for additional information regarding our financing activities and indebtedness.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flows from continuing operations can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period as working capital needs and the timing of payments for income taxes, interest, pension funding, and other items impact reported cash flows.

Operating cash flows from continuing operations were $692 million during the year-to-date period, representing a decrease of $9 million when compared to the comparable period of 2024. The year-over-year change in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to the following factors:

•Year-over-year increase of $46 million in Operating cash flows from net earnings, net of non-cash items (Amortization, Depreciation, Stock-based compensation, and Loss from equity investments).

•The aggregate changes in accounts receivable, inventories, and trade accounts payable generated $12 million of cash during the year-to-date period as compared to generating $48 million 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 we manage the cash conversion cycle, which generally represents the number of

35

Table of Contents

days that elapse from the day we pay for the purchase of raw materials and components to the collection of cash from our customers, and can be significantly impacted by the timing of collections and payments in a period.

•The aggregate changes in prepaid expenses and other assets, and accrued expenses and other liabilities used $85 million of cash in the year-to-date period as compared to using $66 million of cash in the comparable period of 2024. The year-over-year changes were driven by timing differences related to contract assets, contract liabilities, and payments of income taxes and interest.

Investing Activities

Investing cash outflows from continuing operations were $5 million less than the prior year. The current year had higher capital expenditures offset by cash inflows related to acquisitions and divestments.

Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing production capacity, replacing aged equipment, supporting product development initiatives for hardware and software offerings, improving information technology systems, and purchasing equipment that is used in revenue arrangements with customers.

Financing Activities

Financing cash flows from continuing operations consist primarily of cash flows associated with the issuance and repayment of debt and commercial paper, payments of cash dividends to shareholders and share repurchases.

In the year-to-date period, financing activities from continuing operations used cash of $863 million, reflecting the following transactions:

•We incurred $106 million in net commercial paper borrowings.

•We received a cash dividend of $1.15 billion from Ralliant in connection with the Separation (the “Ralliant Dividend”).

•We repurchased 25.2 million shares of our common stock for approximately $1,345 million, with $426 million from the Ralliant Dividend.

•On July 15, 2025, we used approximately $294 million of the Ralliant Dividend to redeem €252 million of the outstanding principal of the 3.7% Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2026.

•On July 24, 2025 and July 25, 2025, we used approximately $421 million of the Ralliant Dividend to repay the outstanding principal of the Euro Term Loan and Yen Term Loan.

•We made dividend payments to common shareholders totaling $73 million.

In the comparable 2024 period, financing activities from continuing operations used cash of $297 million, reflecting the following transaction:

•We repaid $571 million in net commercial paper borrowings.

•On January 2, 2024, we drew down $450 million of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan due 2024.

•On February 13, 2024, we completed the sale of our registered offering of the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes, yielding net proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion.

•On February 13 2024, Fortive repaid $1.0 billion in outstanding principal of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan due 2024, using net proceeds from the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes.

•We repurchased 5.8 million shares of our common stock for approximately $423 million.

•We made dividend payments to common shareholders totaling $84 million.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On February 17, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 20 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock (the “General Share Repurchase Program”). Under this program, shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, including under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“10b5-1 Plans”). On January 23, 2024 and May 27, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the number of shares authorized under the share repurchase program by an additional 11 million and 15.6 million shares, respectively. On May 27, 2025, in connection with the Separation, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a separate and incremental special purpose share repurchase program (the “Special Purpose Share Repurchase Program”) under which Fortive may purchase up to $550 million in Fortive’s common stock exclusively from the proceeds of the Ralliant Dividend, together with any other cash received by Fortive from Ralliant in connection with the Separation (collectively, the “Ralliant Cash Proceeds”). Repurchases of shares of Fortive common stock using the Ralliant Cash Proceeds will only be made through the Special Purpose Share Repurchase Program.

As of September 26, 2025, there were 8.3 million shares and $78.2 million remaining authorized under the General Share Repurchase Program and Special Share Repurchase Program, respectively. There is no expiration date for these repurchase programs, and the timing and amount of repurchases under the programs are determined by the Company's management based on market conditions and other factors. The repurchase programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Board of Directors. During the fiscal quarter ended September 26, 2025, the Company purchased 20.8 million shares of its common stock at an average share price of $47.98.
