Accounting Standards Not YetRecently Adopted—In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU includes amendments to the guidance on convertible instruments and the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity and simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments which include beneficial conversion features or cash conversion features by removing certain separation models in Subtopic 470-20. Additionally, the ASU will requirerequires entities to use the “if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per common share for convertible instruments. TheOn January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management anticipatesand the adoption of this ASU willdid not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832), which requires annual disclosures of transactions with a government that are accounted for by applying a grant or contribution accounting model by analogy. For the Company, these disclosures will initially be required for the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022. These required annual disclosures include information on the nature of transactions and related accounting policies used to account for transactions, detail of the line items on the balance sheet and income statement affected by these transactions, including amounts applicable to each line, and significant terms and conditions of the transactions including commitments and contingencies. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the ASU. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU and drafting the annual disclosures.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The ASU clarifies the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, related to the measurement of the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual sale restrictions and introduces disclosure requirements related to such equity securities. The Company early adopted the ASU effective July 1, 2022. The impact of the adoption of the ASU was not significant.
Operating Leases—As of Octoberboth July 1, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, operating lease right-of-use assets where the Company was the lessee were $980 million and $942 million, respectively,approximately $1.0 billion and are included within other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.  The associated operating lease liabilities were $1,028 million and $974 millionapproximately $1.1 billion as of Octoberboth July 1, 20212022 and December 31, 2020, respectively,2021 and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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. The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component are summarized below ($ in millions). 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.

The Company defines developed markets as all markets that are not high-growth markets.
The Company sells equipment to customers as well as consumables, software licenses 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, filters used in filtration, separation and purification processes and cartridges for marking and coding equipment. Additionally, some of the Company’s consumables are used on a standalone basis, such as water treatment solutions. The Company separates its goods and services between those typically sold to a customer on a recurring basis and those typically sold on a nonrecurring basis. Recurring revenue includes revenue from consumables, services, software licenses recognized over time, software-as-a-service licenses, sales-and-usage based royalties and operating-type leases (“OTLs”). Nonrecurring revenue includes sales from equipment, software licenses recognized at a point in time and sales-type leases (“STLs”). OTLs and STLs are included in the above revenue amounts. For the three-month periods ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, lease revenue was $125 million and $119 million, respectively. For the nine-month periods ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, lease revenue was $359 million and $356 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 October 1, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $3.7 billion. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 50% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, 25% over the subsequent 12 months, and the remainder recognized thereafter.

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 Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Most of the Company’s long-term contracts are billed as work progresses in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of certain milestones. Often this results in billing occurring subsequent to revenue recognition resulting in contract assets. Contract assets are generally classified as other current assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The balance of contract assets as of October 1, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $88 million and $65 million, respectively.
The Company often receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. As of October 1, 2021 and December 31, 2020, contract liabilities were approximately $1.8 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, and are included within accrued expenses and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The increase in the contract liability balance during the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021 was primarily a result of cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations and acquisitions, partially offset by revenue recognized during the year that was included in the opening contract liability balance. Revenue recognized during the nine-month periods ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020 that was included in the contract liability balance on December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $963 million and $537 million, respectively. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

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 reflectexceed the fair value of acquired identifiable net assets due to 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, 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 thisthe 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 these 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 revenue, 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. The Company is continuing to evaluate certain pre-acquisition contingencies associated with its 2021 and 20202022 acquisitions and is also in the process of obtaining valuations of certain acquisition-related assets and liabilities in connection with these acquisitions. The Company will make appropriate adjustments to the purchase price allocation prior to completion of the measurement period, as required.
On August 30, 2021,During the six-month period ended July 1, 2022, the Company acquired Aldevron, L.L.C. (“Aldevron”) for a cash purchase price of approximately $9.6 billion (the “Aldevron Acquisition”). Aldevron manufactures high-quality plasmid DNA, mRNA and proteins, serving biotechnology and pharmaceutical customers across research, clinical and commercial applications, and is now part of the Company’s Life Sciences segment. Aldevron generated revenues of approximately $300 million in 2020. The acquisition of Aldevron is expected to provide additional sales and earnings opportunities for the Company by expanding product line

diversity, including new product offerings supporting genomic medicine. The Company financed the Aldevron Acquisition using cash on hand and proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper.
In addition to the Aldevron Acquisition, during the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021, the Company acquired 9 other2 businesses for total consideration of approximately $1.1 billion$77 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The businesses acquired complement existing units of each of the Company’s 3Life Science and Environmental & Applied Solutions segments. The aggregate annual sales of these 9the 2 businesses acquired in 2022 at the time of their acquisition, in each case based on the company’s revenues for its last completed fiscal year prior to the acquisition, were $93$7 million.
The following summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition for the Aldevron Acquisition, and separately for all other acquisitions during the nine-monthsix-month period ended OctoberJuly 1, 20212022 ($ in millions):

On March 31, 2020, the Company acquired the Biopharma businessTable of General Electric Company’s (“GE”) Life Sciences division, now known as Cytiva, for a cash purchase price of approximately $20.7 billion (net of approximately $0.1 billion of acquired cash) and the assumption of approximately $0.4 billion of pension liabilities (the “Cytiva Acquisition”). Cytiva is a leading provider of instruments, consumables and software that support the research, discovery, process development and manufacturing workflows of biopharmaceutical drugs. Cytiva is included in the Company’s Life Sciences segment results beginning in the second quarter of 2020. The acquisition has provided and is expected to provide additional sales and earnings growth opportunities for the Company’s Life Sciences segment by expanding the business’ geographic and product line diversity, including new product and service offerings that complement the Company’s existing biologics workflow solutions. To fulfill a condition to obtaining certain regulatory approvals for the closing of the transaction, on April 30, 2020, the Company divested certain of its existing product lines in the Life Sciences segment for a cash purchase price, net of cash transferred and transaction costs, of $826 million and recognized a pretax gain on sale of $455 million ($305 million after-tax or $0.42 per diluted common share). The divested product lines in the aggregate generated revenues of approximately $170 million in 2019. The divestiture of these product lines 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 Contentsdiscontinued operation.

NOTE 4.3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On July 2, 2016, the Company completed the separation of its former Test & Measurement segment, Industrial Technologies segment (excluding the product identification businesses) and retail/commercial petroleum business by distributing to Danaher stockholders on a pro rata basis all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Fortive Corporation (“Fortive”), the entity the Company incorporated to hold such businesses. For the nine-month periodthree and six-month periods ended October 1,July 2, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $86 million related to the release of previously provided reserves associated with uncertain tax positions on certain of the Company’s tax returns which were jointly filed with Fortive entities. These reserves were released due to the expiration of statutes of limitations for those returns. This income tax benefit is included in earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

NOTE 5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS4. NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net earnings per common share from continuing operations (“EPS”) is calculated by taking net earnings from continuing operations less the MCPS dividends divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted net EPS from continuing operations is computed by taking net earnings from continuing operations less the MCPS dividends divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding 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 July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, approximately 2.4 million and 193 thousand options to purchase shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS from continuing operations calculation and for the six-month periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, approximately 2.4 million and 132 thousand 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 the effect of rounding to the nearest cent per share, the sum of prior quarterly EPS figures may not equal year-to-date EPS.
The following is a rollforwardimpact of the MCPS Series A calculated under the if-converted method was dilutive for both the three and six-month periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, and as such 1.1 million and 6.0 million shares for the three and six-month periods ended July 1, 2022, respectively, and 11.0 million shares, for both the three and six-month periods ended July 2, 2021, underlying the MCPS Series A were included in the calculation of diluted EPS. The related MCPS Series A dividends of $20 million for the six-month period ended July 1, 2022 and $20 million and $40 million for the three and six-month periods ended July 2, 2021, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of net earnings for diluted EPS. On April 15, 2022, all outstanding shares of the MCPS Series A converted into 11.0 million shares of the Company’s goodwill ($common stock. There were 0 MCPS Series A dividends declared in millions):the second quarter of 2022 prior to their conversion and the MCPS Series A were dilutive for all periods prior to the conversion. Refer to Note 15 for additional information about the MCPS Series A conversion.

(a) The Company defines high-growth markets as developing markets of the world experiencing extended periods of accelerated growth in gross domestic product and infrastructure which include Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia (with the exception of Japan, Australia and New Zealand). The Company defines developed markets as all markets that are not high-growth markets.
(b) The Company defines North America as the United States and Canada.
The Company sells equipment to customers as well as consumables 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, filters used in filtration, separation and purification processes and cartridges for marking and coding equipment. Additionally, some of the Company’s consumables are used on a standalone basis, such as water treatment solutions. The Company separates its goods and services between those typically sold to a customer on a recurring basis and those typically sold on a nonrecurring basis. Recurring revenue includes revenue from consumables, services and operating-type leases (“OTLs”). Nonrecurring revenue includes sales from equipment and sales-type leases (“STLs”). OTLs and STLs are included in the above revenue amounts. For both the three-month periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, lease revenue was $117 million. For the six-month periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, lease revenue was $241 million and $234 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 July 1, 2022, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $4.8 billion. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 60% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, 24% over the subsequent 12 months, and the remainder recognized thereafter.

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 Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Most of the Company’s long-term contracts are billed as work progresses in accordance with the contract terms and conditions, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of certain milestones. Often this results in billing occurring subsequent to revenue recognition resulting in contract assets. Contract assets are generally classified as other current assets in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The balance of contract assets as of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $88 million and $75 million, respectively.
The Company often receives cash payments from customers in advance of the Company’s performance resulting in contract liabilities that are classified as either current or long-term in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. As of July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, contract liabilities were approximately $2.0 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, and are included within accrued expenses and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The increase in the contract liability balance during the six-month period ended July 1, 2022 was primarily a result of cash payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations, partially offset by revenue recognized during the period that was included in the opening contract liability balance and the impact of foreign currency. Revenue recognized during the six-month periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021 that was included in the contract liability balance on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $995 million and $775 million, respectively. Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a net basis on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

NOTE 6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates and reports its results in 3 separate business segments consisting of the Life Sciences, Diagnostics, and Environmental & Applied Solutions segments. When determining the reportable segments, the Company aggregated operating segments based on their similar economic and operating characteristics. Operating profit represents total revenues less operating expenses, excluding nonoperating income and expense, interest and income taxes. Operating profit amounts in the Other segment consist of unallocated corporate costs and other costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of reportable segment operating performance. Intersegment amounts are not significant and are eliminated to arrive at consolidated totals.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes the Company’s effective tax rate:
Three-Month Period EndedSix-Month Period Ended
July 1, 2022July 2, 2021July 1, 2022July 2, 2021
Effective tax rate18.8 %16.8 %18.3 %17.6 %
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 operating in such jurisdictions reduces the effective tax rate compared to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate.
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended July 1, 2022 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due the geographic mix of earnings described above and net discrete benefits of $8 million related primarily to changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. The net discrete benefits reduced the effective tax rate by 0.4% for the three-month period ended July 1, 2022.
The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended July 1, 2022 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the geographic mix of earnings described above and net discrete benefits of $49 million related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. The net discrete benefits reduced the effective tax rate by 1.2% for the six-month period ended July 1, 2022.
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended July 2, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to net discrete benefits of $76 million related primarily to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitation, audit settlements and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, net of changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 3.7% for the three-month period ended July 2, 2021.
The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended July 2, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to net discrete benefits of $120 million related primarily to release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitation, audit settlements and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, net of changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 2.9% for the six-month period ended July 2, 2021.
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, 2021 and Note 7 thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Other Components of Net Periodic Benefit Costs
The Company disaggregates the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs of the noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement employee benefit plans and presents the other components of net periodic benefit costs 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. The Company’s net periodic benefit costs for the six-month period ended July 1, 2022 includes a settlement loss of $10 million ($9 million after-tax) as a result of the transfer of a portion of its non-U.S. pension liabilities related to one defined benefit plan to a third-party.

Table of Contents
Investment Gains (Losses)
The Company estimates the fair value of its investments in equity securities using the Fair Value Alternative and records adjustments to fair value within net earnings. 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.
Gain on Sale of Product Lines
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company divested certain product lines for a cash purchase price, net of cash transferred and transaction costs, of $26 million and recognized a pretax gain on sale of $13 million ($10 million after-tax). The divested product lines generated revenues of approximately $88 million in the Environmental & Applied Solutions segment in 2020. The divestiture of these product lines 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 has not identified any “triggering” events which indicate an impairment of goodwill in 2022.
The Company reviews identified intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company identified impairment triggers during the second quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2021 which resulted in the impairment of certain long-lived assets, including technology and customer relationships in 2022 and a trade name in 2021. The Company recorded impairment charges totaling $9 million in the three and six-month periods ended July 1, 2022 and $10 million in the six-month period ended July 2, 2021 related to these long-lived assets.

NOTE 6.10. 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.

Available-for-sale debt securities, which are included in other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, are measured at fair value using quoted prices reported by investment brokers and dealers based on the underlying terms of the security and comparison to similar securities traded on an active market. As of OctoberJuly 1, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, available-for-sale debt securities primarily includeincluded U.S. Treasury Notes and corporate debt securities, which are valued based on the terms of the instruments in comparison with similar terms traded on the active market.securities.
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 in equity securities based on the measurement alternative and adjusts for impairments and observable price changes with a same or similar security from the same issuer within net earnings (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 fair value measurement disclosures. As of OctoberJuly 1, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company’s equity method investments included investments in partnerships with a carrying value of approximately $1.2$1.5 billion and $453 million,$1.3 billion, respectively. During the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended OctoberJuly 1, 2022, the Company recorded net realized and unrealized losses of $98 million and $122 million, respectively, and during the three and six-month periods ended July 2, 2021, the Company recorded net realized and unrealized gains of $128$86 million and $330$202 million, respectively, 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. During the three and nine-month periods ended October 2, 2020, the Company recorded unrealized gains of $3 million and unrealized losses of $10 million, respectively, related to changes in the fair value of the Company’s investments including investments of the partnerships. Refer to Note 128 for additional information on gains and losses on the Company’s investments including investments in the

partnerships. These gains and losses are reflected in other income (expense), net in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
The cross-currency swap derivative contracts are used to partially hedge the Company’s net investments in foreignnon-U.S. operations against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Danish kroner, Japanese yen, euro and Swiss franc. The Company also uses cross-currency swap derivative contracts to hedge the exchange rate exposure from long-term debt issuances in a foreign currency other than the functional currency of the borrower. 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 foreign currency current exchange rates and forward curves as inputs. Refer to Note 812 for additional information.
The Company has established nonqualified contribution and deferred compensation programs that permit the Company to make tax-deferred contributions to officers and certain other employees, and also permit directors, officers and certain other employees to voluntarily defer taxation on a portion of their compensation. All amounts contributed or deferred under such plans are unfunded, unsecured obligations of the Company and are presented as a component of the Company’s compensation and benefits accrual included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Non-director participants may choose among alternative earning rates for the amounts they defer, which are primarily based on investment options within the Company’s 401(k) program. Changes in the deferred compensation liability under these programs are recognized based on changes in the fair value of the participants’ accounts, which are based on the applicable earnings rates. Amounts voluntarily deferred by directors and amounts unilaterally contributed to participant accounts by the Company are deemed invested in the Company’s common stock and future distributions of such contributions (as well as future distributions of any voluntary deferrals allocated at any time to the Danaher common stock investment option) will be made solely in shares of Company common stock, and therefore are not reflected in the above amounts.

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 (other than the Company’s Liquid Yield Option Notes due 2021 (the “LYONs”) prior to their redemption on January 22, 2021) is attributable to changes in market interest rates and/or the Company’s credit ratings subsequent to the incurrence of the borrowing. In the case of the LYONs, differences in the fair value from the carrying value were attributable to changes in the price of the Company’s common stock due to the LYONs’ conversion features.

NOTE 8. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses cross-currency swap derivative contracts to partially hedge its net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Danish kroner, Japanese yen, euro and Swiss franc. The cross-currency swap derivative contracts are agreements to exchange fixed-rate payments in one currency for fixed-rate payments in another currency. These contracts effectively convert U.S. dollar-denominated bonds to obligations denominated in Danish kroner, Japanese yen, euro and Swiss franc, and partially offset the impact of changes in currency rates on the Company’s foreign currency denominated net investments. 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) in stockholders’ equity, partially offsetting the foreign currency translation adjustment of the Company’s related net investment that is also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the period of change. 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 October 2030.

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 between the U.S. dollar and the euro. 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 other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity, with a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to net earnings to offset the remeasurement of the hedged debt that is also recorded in net earnings. Any ineffective portions of the cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the period of change. 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 2022 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 foreign currency denominated long-term debt issuances are designated and qualify as nonderivative hedging instruments. Accordingly, the foreign currency translation of these debt instruments is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity, offsetting the foreign currency translation adjustment of the Company’s related net investment that is also recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any ineffective portions of net investment hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings during the period of change. These instruments mature on dates ranging from June 2022 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 U.S. debt the Company issued to fund the Cytiva Acquisition. These contracts effectively fixed the interest rate for a portion of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated 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. The changes in the fair value of these instruments were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity prior to the issuance of the debt and are subsequently being reclassified to interest expense over the life of the related debt.

The service cost component of net periodic benefit costs is presented in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses while the other cost components are presented in other income (expense), net. The Company’s net periodic pension cost for the six-month period ended July 1, 2022 includes a settlement loss of $10 million as a result of the transfer of a portion of its non-U.S. pension liabilities related to one defined benefit plan to a third-party.
Employer Contributions
During 2021, 2022, the Company’s cash contribution requirements for its U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans are forecasted to be approximately $50 million. The Company is forecasting no cash contributions for its U.S. defined benefit pension plan in 2021.$10 million and $44 million, respectively. The ultimate amounts to be contributed depend upon, among other things, legal requirements, underlying asset returns, the plan’s funded status, the anticipated tax deductibility of the contribution, local practices, market conditions, interest rates and other factors.

NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes the Company’s effective tax rate:
Three-Month Period EndedNine-Month Period Ended
October 1, 2021October 2, 2020October 1, 2021October 2, 2020
Effective tax rate16.5 %13.5 %17.3 %18.5 %
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended October 1, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to net discrete benefits of $23 million related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, audit settlements and a higher tax benefit associated with the pretax expense in the quarter related to the modification and partial termination of a commercial arrangement and resolution of the associated litigation. These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 3.2% for the three-month period ended October 1, 2021.
The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to net discrete benefits of $143 million related primarily to release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitation, audit settlements, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and a higher tax benefit associated with the pretax expense in the quarter related to the modification and partial termination of a commercial arrangement and resolution of the associated litigation, net of changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 2.9% for the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021.
The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended October 2, 2020 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to net discrete benefits related primarily to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions from audit settlements and the expiration of statutes of limitation, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and other items. These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 6.1% for the three-month period ended October 2, 2020.

Table of Contents
The effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2020 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions from audit settlements and expiration of statutes of limitation and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, partially offset by a higher tax rate associated with the gain on the divestiture of certain product lines in the Life Sciences segment in the second quarter of 2020 and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 1.1% for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2020.
For a description of the tax provision for discontinued operations, refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Condensed 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, 2020 and Note 15 thereto included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report.
Tax authorities in Denmark have issued tax assessments related to interest accrued by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries for the years 2004 through 2015. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received a notice from the Danish tax authorities that included a reduction in the interest amounts imposed in the original tax assessments. Taking into account the revised interest amounts, the assessments total approximately DKK 2.1 billion including interest accrued to date (approximately $328 million based on the exchange rate as of October 1, 2021). The Company’s appeal of the original assessments with the Danish National Tax Tribunal has been put on hold awaiting the final outcome of other preceding withholding tax cases that are to be heard by the Danish High Court. Management believes the positions the Company has taken in Denmark are in accordance with the relevant tax laws and is vigorously defending its positions. The Company intends on pursuing this matter through the Danish High Court should the appeal to the Danish National Tax Tribunal be unsuccessful. While the ultimate resolution of this matter is uncertain and could take many years, taking into account the notice reducing the interest amounts and tax payments previously made related to these assessments, the Company does not expect the resolution of this matter will have a future material adverse impact to the Company’s financial statements, including its cash flow and effective tax rate.

NOTE 11. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
Effective July 24, 2021, the Company’s indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, Beckman Coulter, Inc. (“Beckman”), entered into a series of related agreements with Quidel Corporation and a subsidiary thereof (“Quidel”) to resolve litigation that Beckman initiated against Quidel and to modify and partially terminate the related prior commercial arrangement. Pursuant to the related agreements, the dispute regarding Beckman’s ability to compete in B-type Naturietic Peptide (“BNP”) test related activities has been settled, allowing Beckman to research, develop, manufacture and distribute BNP type tests. Beckman’s commitment to supply certain BNP test kits to Quidel has also been terminated. Beckman also obtained the right to distribute and sell the BNP assay currently sold by Quidel. As consideration under the agreements, Beckman will pay Quidel predominantly fixed payments of approximately $75 million per year through 2029 (subject to proration in 2021). The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist in determining the value of the elements of the transaction. The present value of the payments to Quidel is estimated to be $581 million, of which $547 million was recorded as a pretax contract settlement expense primarily due to the unfavorable nature of the prior arrangement (consisting of a cash charge of $5 million and a noncash charge of $542 million) in the third quarter of 2021 related to the modification and partial termination of the prior commercial arrangement and resolution of the associated litigation. The Company also capitalized $34 million in intangible assets, comprised of proprietary technology, customer relationships and the use of a trade name acquired in the settlement, which represent a noncash investing activity. Due to the extended payment terms of the arrangement, the arrangement represents a noncash financing activity of $576 million. Over the period of the arrangement, the cash payments related to servicing the obligation due to Quidel will be recorded as cash outflows from financing activities and the payments related to the imputed interest on the obligation due to Quidel will be recorded as cash outflows from operating activities in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.

Other Components of Net Periodic Benefit Costs
The Company disaggregates the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs of the noncontributory defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement employee benefit plans and presents the other components of net periodic benefit cost 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)
The Company estimates the fair value of its investments in equity securities using the Fair Value Alternative and records adjustments to fair value within net earnings. 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.
Gain on Sale of Product Lines
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company divested certain product lines for a cash purchase price, net of cash transferred and transaction costs, of $26 million and recognized a pretax gain on sale of $13 million ($10 million after-tax). The divested product lines generated revenues of approximately $88 million in the Environmental & Applied Solutions segment in 2020. The divestiture of these product lines 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.
As a condition to obtaining certain regulatory approvals for the closing of the Cytiva Acquisition, the Company was required to divest certain of its existing product lines in the Life Sciences segment that in the aggregate generated revenues of approximately $170 million in 2019. On April 30, 2020, the Company completed the sale of the majority of these product lines for a cash purchase price, net of cash transferred and transaction costs, of $826 million and recognized a pretax gain on sale of $455 million ($305 million after tax). The divestiture of these product lines 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.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company reviews the adequacy of its legal reserves on a quarterly basis and establishes reserves for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. For a further description of the Company’s litigation and contingencies, refer to Note 18 of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report.
The Company generally accrues estimated warranty costs at the time of sale. In general, manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly and appropriately maintained. Warranty periods depend on the nature of the product and range from the date of such sale up to ten years. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor and in certain instances estimated property damage. The accrued warranty liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known.

In May 2020, the Company completed the underwritten public offering of 10.9 million shares of Danaher common stock at a price to the public of $163.00 per share (the “2020 Common Stock Offering”), resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.73 billion, after deducting expenses and the underwriters’ discount of $54 million. Simultaneously, the Company completed the underwritten public offering of 1.72 million shares of its 5.0% Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS Series B”), without par value and with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “2020 MCPS Offering”), resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.67 billion, after deducting expenses and the underwriters’ discount of $49 million. The Company has used the net proceeds from the 2020 Common Stock Offering and the 2020 MCPS Offering for general corporate purposes.
In March 2019, the Company completed the underwritten public offering of 1.65 million shares of its 4.75% MCPS Series A, without par value and with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share.
Unless converted earlier in accordance with the terms of the applicable certificate of designations, each share of MCPS Series A and MCPS Series B (together, the “MCPS Shares”) will mandatorily convert on their respective Mandatory Conversion Date, set forth below, into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock between the applicable Minimum Conversion Rate and the applicable Maximum Conversion Rate, set forth below, subject to further anti-dilution adjustments. The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion will be determined based on the average volume-weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately before the applicable Mandatory Conversion Date. Subject to certain exceptions, at any time prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, holders may elect to convert the MCPS Shares into common stock based on the applicable Minimum Conversion Rate, subject to further anti-dilution adjustments. In the event of a fundamental change, the MCPS Shares will convert at the fundamental change rates specified in the applicable certificate of designations, and the holders of MCPS Shares would be entitled to a fundamental change make-whole dividend. In the third quarter of 2021, 20 shares of MCPS Series A were converted into 133 shares of Danaher common stock.

As of October 1, 2021, $211 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs/PSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years. As of October 1, 2021, $225 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately three years. Future compensation amounts will be adjusted for any changes in estimated forfeitures.

NOTE 15. NET EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Basic net earnings per common share from continuing operations (“EPS”) is calculated by taking net earnings from continuing operations less the MCPS dividends divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted net EPS from continuing operations is computed by taking net earnings from continuing operations plus the interest accrued on the Company’s LYONs (prior to their redemption in January 22, 2021) less the MCPS dividends divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding 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 October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, no options to purchase shares were excluded from the diluted net EPS calculation. For the nine-month periods ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, approximately 88 thousand and 1.0 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 the effect of rounding to the nearest cent per share, the sum of prior quarterly EPS figures may not equal year-to-date EPS.
The impact of the MCPS Series A calculated under the if-converted method was anti-dilutive for the three-month period ended October 1, 2021, and as such 11.0 million shares underlying the MCPS Series A were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the three-month period and the related MCPS Series A dividends of $19 million were included in the calculation of net earnings for diluted EPS for the period. The impact of the MCPS Series A calculated under the if-converted method was dilutive for the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021, and as such 11.0 million shares underlying the MCPS Series A were included in the calculation of diluted EPS for the nine-month period and the related MCPS Series A dividends of $59 million were excluded from the calculation of net earnings for diluted EPS for the period.
The impact of the MCPS Series B calculated under the if-converted method was anti-dilutive for the three and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2021, and as such 8.6 million shares underlying the MCPS Series B were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS in both periods and the related MCPS Series B dividends of $22 million and $64 million were included in the calculation of net earnings for diluted EPS for the respective periods.
The impact of the MCPS Series A and MCPS Series B calculated under the if-converted method was anti-dilutive for the three and nine-month periods endedOctober 2, 2020, and as such 19.6 million and 16.3 million shares, respectively, underlying the MCPS Series A and MCPS Series B were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation and the related MCPS Series A and MCPS Series B dividends were included in the calculation of net earnings for diluted EPS for the three and nine-month periods ended October 2, 2020.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) 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.

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, communications 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

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) in order 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 thirdsecond quarter of 2021,2022, the Company’s overall revenues increased 23.0%7.5% compared to the comparable period of 2020. Foreign currency exchange rates contributed 1.5%2021. Core sales increased 9.5% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior period and acquisitions contributed 1.0%2.5% to the increase in revenues. The impact of currency translation decreased reported sales 4.5%. For the six-month period ended July 1, 2022, overall revenues increased 9.5%. Core sales increased 20.5%10.5% in the third quarter of 2021six-month period ended July 1, 2022 compared to the prior period. Beginningperiod and acquisitions contributed 2.5% to the increase in the second quarterrevenues. The impact of 2021, Cytiva sales are included in core sales, and therefore we do not provide the measure “core sales including Cytiva” for quarterly periods beginning with the second quarter of 2021. For the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021, overall revenues increased by 37.0%, with foreign currency exchange rates increasingdecreased revenues by 2.5%3.5%. Acquisitions, primarily driven by Cytiva, contributed 10.0% of the increase in revenues in the nine-month period. Core sales increased 24.5% and core sales including Cytiva increased 27.0% in the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021 compared to the prior period. For the definition of “core sales” and “core sales including Cytiva” refer to “—Results of Operations” below.
Despite differences in our businesses, on an overall basis, the Company saw continued strong core sales growth in the third quarter of 2021. As the conditions related to the pandemic continued to improve in many geographies compared to conditions in 2020, the Company generally experienced increasing demand in the end-markets it serves. In addition to the impact of the improving pandemic conditions, COVID-19 related research and development among biotech and pharmaceutical customers continued to generate strong demand for bioprocessing and genomic products in the Company’s life science businesses and COVID-19 related testing generated strong demand in the Company’s molecular diagnostics business.
COVID-19 as well as broader market dynamics have also affected the ability of certain suppliers and vendors to provide products and services to certain of our businesses. While we have not experienced widespread disruption to our supply chain or labor availability, labor costs have increased in certain of our businesses and supply constraints have increased for certain components and commodities used in our operations. In certain instances these constraints have resulted in cost inflation and logistics delays. We are working with our suppliers to understand the existing and potential future impacts to our supply chain and are taking actions in an effort to mitigate such impacts, however, we expect these supply chain and labor availability pressures to continue.
Geographically, the Company saw increases in core sales in both developed markets and the high-growth markets. Developed markets grew at nearly 20% during the thirdsecond quarter of 20212022 compared to the thirdsecond quarter of 2020,2021. Developed markets core sales grew at a low-double digit rate driven primarily by North America and Western Europe. High-growth markets increased nearly 25% during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the comparable period of 2020, ledcore sales grew mid-single digits, driven primarily by growthChina, as the Company largely recovered from COVID-19 related shutdowns early in China.the second quarter. High-growth markets represented approximately 32%30% of the Company’s total sales in the thirdsecond quarter of 2021.2022. For additional information regarding the Company’s sales by geographical region during the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended OctoberJuly 1, 20212022 and OctoberJuly 2, 2020,2021, refer to Note 25 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The Company’s net earnings from continuing operations for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended OctoberJuly 1, 20212022 totaled approximately $1.2 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively, compared to $883$1,680 million and approximately $2.4 billion$3,405 million, respectively, and the Company’s net earnings from continuing operations for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended OctoberJuly 2, 2020.2021 totaled $1,699 million and $3,401 million, respectively. Net earnings attributable to common stockholders for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended OctoberJuly 1, 20212022 totaled approximately $1.1 billion$1,658 million or $1.54$2.25 per diluted common share and approximately $4.5 billion$3,342 million or $6.22$4.56 per diluted common share, respectively, compared to $1,744 million or $2.40 per diluted common share and $3,405 million or $4.68 per diluted common share, respectively, compared to $842 million or $1.16 per diluted common share and approximately $2.3 billion or $3.22 per diluted common share for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended OctoberJuly 2, 2020, respectivel2021y.. Increased core sales, and related earnings including the impact of Cytiva, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, investment losses and higher material, transportation and labor costs drove the modification and partial termination of a prior commercial arrangement and resolution of the associated litigation, are the primary drivers of the year-over-year increasechange in net earnings from continuing operations and diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations for both the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended OctoberJuly 1, 2021.2022.
WhileDuring the ultimatethree and six-month periods ended July 1, 2022, supply chain disruptions (including in some cases shortages of supply, cost inflation and shipping delays), labor availability constraints and labor costs impacted a number of the Company’s businesses. Through the application of DBS tools and processes, the Company largely mitigated the impact of COVID-19these pressures on the Company’s financial performance in future periods remains highly uncertain,profitability and as a result such pressures did not have a material adverse effect on the Company expects core sales to growbusiness in the fourth quarter of 2021 comparedthree and six-month periods ended July 1, 2022.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict
In response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, in addition to suspending sales prohibited by sanctions, the Company has suspended the shipment of products to Russia with the exception of products for consumablesthe purposes of diagnosing and treating patients and producing vaccines and therapeutics. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $43 million, primarily related to COVID-19-related testing capabilities are expectedthe impairment of accounts receivable and inventory, as well as accruals for contractual obligations related to Russian operations. The Company will continue monitoring the military, social, political, regulatory and economic environment in the fourth quarter of 2021. In addition, demand for the Company’s non-COVID-19 related products is expected to continue recovering, driving year-over-year core sales growth in the Company’s other businesses. As discussed below however, an increase of COVID-19 related casesUkraine and the re-imposition of significant government required restrictions could have a material negative impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Russia, and will consider further actions as appropriate.
The COVID-19 Pandemic
The global spread of a novel strain of COVID-19 has led to unprecedented restrictions on, and disruptions in, business and personal activities, including as a result of preventive and precautionary measures that we, other businesses, our communities and governments have taken and are taking to mitigate the spread of the virus and to manage its impact. The Company continues to actively monitor the COVID-19 pandemic, including the current spread of certain variants of the virus and has taken and intends to continue taking steps to identify and mitigate the adverseplan for potential impacts on and risks to, the Company’s business (including but not limited to its employees, customers, business partners, manufacturing capabilities and capacity, and supply and distribution channels) posed by the spread of COVID-19 and the governmental and community responses thereto. The Company’s businesses have activated their business continuity plans as a result of this pandemic, including taking steps in an effort to help keep our workforce healthy and safe, and are assessing and updating those plans on an ongoing basis. As a result of COVID-19 the Company’s businesses have modified certain of their respective business practices and the Company expects to take such further actions as may be required by government authorities or as determined to be in the best interests of our employees, customers and other business partners.business. The Company has developed and is implementing return-to-workplace protocols designed to help ensure the health and safety of its employees, customers and business partners, for its businesses to apply as and when return-to-workplace is legally permissible and deemed appropriate. Given that the prevalence of COVID-19 and the nature of the response thereto (including the degree to which restrictions are being relaxed or re-imposed) varies significantly by geography, the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s different business locations around the world at any given time also varies significantly.
We are also deploying our capabilities, expertise and scale to address the critical health needs related to COVID-19. We have developedCOVID-19, including developing and mademaking available diagnostic tests for the rapid detection of COVID-19 and a diagnostic test that can detect antibodies in blood to confirm current or past exposure to COVID-19. In addition, our businesses areas well as providing critical support to firms that are developing and producing vaccines and therapeuticstherapies for COVID-19, among other support. As and to the extent the COVID-19 pandemic subsides we expect the demand for products and services related to COVID-19 will moderate, though when and to what level remains unclear.
As noted below and subject to the assumptions discussed below, the Company expects core sales to grow in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the prior year, driven by both continued demand for COVID-19 testing solutions and vaccines and therapeutics development and testing, as well as recovering demand in the Company’s other businesses. Although theCOVID-19. While conditions related to the pandemic generally appearhave improved in 2022 compared to be improving, due2021, conditions vary significantly by geography. Late in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of COVID-19 related cases in certain parts of China resulted in the re-imposition of widespread shut-downs and restrictions. These measures continued through most of the second quarter of 2022, impacting portions of the Company’s operations in China prior to the easing of restrictions in May and the return to more normalized activity levels by the end of June. The extent to which these restrictions may recur in the future will depend upon the prevalence of COVID-19 in the impacted regions of China. Due to the speed with which the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, the global breadth of its spread, the range of governmental and community responses thereto and

Acquisitions
On August 30, 2021,During the six-month period ended July 1, 2022, the Company acquired Aldevron, L.L.C. (“Aldevron”) for a cash purchase price of approximately $9.6 billion (the “Aldevron Acquisition”). Aldevron manufactures high-quality plasmid DNA, mRNA and proteins, serving biotechnology and pharmaceutical customers across research, clinical and commercial applications, and is now part of the Company’s Life Sciences segment. Aldevron generated revenues of approximately $300 million in 2020. The acquisition of Aldevron is expected to provide additional sales and earnings opportunities for the Company by expanding product line diversity, including new product offerings supporting genomic medicine. The Company financed the Aldevron Acquisition using cash on hand and proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper. For a description of the Company’s other acquisitions, refer to Note 3 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
In addition to the Aldevron Acquisition, during the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021, the Company acquired nine other businessestwo businesses for total consideration of approximately $1.1 billionof $77 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The businesses acquired complement existing units of each of the Company’s threeLife Science and Environmental & Applied Solutions segments. The aggregate annual sales of these ninethe two businesses acquired in 2022 at the time of their acquisition, in each case based on the company’s revenues for its last completed fiscal year prior to the acquisition, were approximately $93$7 million.

Currency Exchange Rates
On a year-over-year basis, currency exchange rates positivelynegatively impacted reported sales by approximately 1.5%4.5% and 2.5%3.5% for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended OctoberJuly 1, 2021,2022, respectively, compared to the comparable periods of 2020,2021, primarily due to the weakeningstrengthening of the U.S. dollar against most major currencies in 2021.2022. If the currency exchange rates in effect as of OctoberJuly 1, 20212022 were to prevail throughout the remainder of 2021,2022, currency exchange rates would increasedecrease the Company’s estimated second half 2022 sales by approximately 4.0% and full year sales by approximately 1.5%3.5% on a year-over-year basis. From July 1, 2022 through the date of this Report, the U.S. dollar continued to strengthen compared to other major currencies including the euro. Any further strengthening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies would adversely impact the Company’s sales and results of operations for the remainder of the year, and any further weakening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies would positively impact the Company’s sales and results of operations for the remainder of the year.
United Kingdom’s Exit From the EU
The United Kingdom (“UK”) ceased to be a member state of the EU on January 31, 2020 (commonly referred to as “Brexit”), and the parties have agreed to and ratified a trade and cooperation agreement.
The Company continues to monitor the ramifications of Brexit and plan for potential impacts on its business. To mitigate the potential impact of Brexit on the import of goods to the UK, the Company continues to strategically manage its inventory levels and logistical channels with respect to the UK. While the Company experienced only minor disruptions related to Brexit during the nine-month period ended October 1, 2021, the ultimate impact of Brexit on the Company’s financial results in future periods is uncertain. For additional information, refer to the “Item 1A-Risk Factors” section of the Company’s 2020 Annual Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Non-GAAP Measures
In this report, references to the non-GAAP measures of core sales (also referred to as core revenues or sales/revenues from existing businesses) and core sales including Cytiva refer to sales calculated according to U.S. GAAP, but excluding:
sales from acquired businesses (as defined below, as applicable); 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; provided that in calculating core sales including Cytiva, Cytiva’s sales (net of the sales of the Company product lines divested in 2020 to obtain regulatory approval to acquire Cytiva, or the “divested product lines”) (“Cytiva sales”) are excluded from the definition of sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses.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, as applicable)above)); and
the period-to-period change in revenue (excluding sales from acquired businesses (as defined above, as applicable)above)) after applying current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.
As noted above, beginning with results for the second quarter of 2020, the Company also presents core sales on a basis that includes Cytiva sales. Prior to the acquisition of Cytiva, Danaher calculated core sales growth solely on a basis that excluded sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition. However, given Cytiva’s significant size and historical core sales growth rate, in each case compared to Danaher’s existing businesses, management believes it is appropriate to also present core sales on a basis that includes Cytiva sales. Management believes this presentation provides useful information to investors by demonstrating the impact Cytiva has on the Company’s current growth profile, rather than waiting to demonstrate such impact 12 months after the acquisition when Cytiva would normally have been included in Danaher’s core sales calculation. Danaher calculates period-to-period core sales growth including Cytiva by adding Cytiva sales to core sales for both the baseline and current periods. Beginning in the second quarter of 2021, Cytiva sales are included in core sales, and therefore the measure “core sales including Cytiva” is no longer provided for quarterly periods beginning with the second quarter of 2021.
Core sales growth (and the related measure of core sales including Cytiva) 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.

translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends, and excludes the effect of acquisitions (other than Cytiva, in the case of core growth including Cytiva) 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 volumegrowth 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.

The acquisitions of Cytiva on March 31, 2020 and Aldevron on August 30, 2021 have provided, and are expected to continue to provide, additional sales and earnings growth opportunities for the Company’s Life Sciences segment by expanding the business’ geographic and product line diversity, including new product and service offerings that complement the Company’s biologics workflow and genomic medicine solutions. Due to the proximity of the Cytiva acquisition date to the end of the first quarter of 2020, there are no results of operations for Cytiva included in the Life Sciences segment in the first quarter of 2020. In both the three and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2021, Cytiva experienced significant increased year-over-year demand across all major geographies, driven by continued strong demand for instruments and consumables used in the research and development of COVID-19-related treatments and vaccines and increased demand for non-COVID-19 related products in both periods as well as by the completion of a major project in the first half of 2021.

This increase wasbusinesses, and incremental year-over-year material, transportation and labor costs. Additionally, cost of sales for the first half of 2022 included an inventory charge related to Russia. These increases were partially offset by lower incremental year-over-year acquisition-related charges associated with fair value adjustments to inventory in connection with acquisitions (the acquisition of Aldevron during the third quarter of 2021 and Cytiva during the first quarter of 2020), which increased cost of sales by $17 million and $46 million in the three and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2021 and $220 million and $417 million in the three and nine-month periods ended October 2, 2020, respectively.

The gross profit margins in both periods were negatively impacted by incremental year-over-year material, transportation and labor costs. In addition, the gross profit margin for the first half of 2022 was negatively impacted by an inventory charge related to Russia. Gross profit margins in both periods were favorably impacted by increased core sales, product mix and year-over-year productivity improvement initiatives as well as the impact of first half of 2021 were lower than theacquisition-related charges associated with fair value adjustments to inventory and deferred revenue recorded in connection with the acquisition of Cytiva during the first quarter of 2020, which also contributed to the increased gross profit margins. These fair value adjustments negatively impacted gross profit by $17 million and $63 million in the three and nine-month periods ended October 1, 2021, respectively, compared to $232 million and $460 million in the three and nine-month periods ended October 2, 2020, respectively.

These factors reduced the effective tax rate by 1.1% for the nine-month period ended October 2, 2020.
The Company 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 UK. 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 domestic and international taxing authorities. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has completed the examinations of substantially all 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 2018. In addition, the Company has subsidiaries in Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, the UK and various other countries, states and provinces that are currently under audit for years ranging from 2004 through 2020.

The Company expects its effective tax rate for the remainder of 20212022 to be approximately 20.2%19.5%. 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 20212022 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, particularly given the uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.projection.

For the nine-month periodthree and six-month periods ended October 1,July 2, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $86 million related to the release of previously provided reserves associated with uncertain tax positions on certain of the Company’s tax returns which were jointly filed with Fortive entities.

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 flows,flow, cash on hand and other available 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, funding restructuring activities and managing 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. Subject to any limitations that may result from the COVID-19 pandemic or other market disruptions, (such as the disruptions in the financial and capital markets that occurred at times in 2020), the Company anticipates following the same approach in the future.

Operating cash flows from continuing operations increased approximately $2.0 billion,decreased $23 million, or 51%1%, during the nine-monthsix-month period ended OctoberJuly 1, 20212022 as compared to the comparable period of 2020, due to2021, as higher net earnings from continuing operations (after excluding in both periods charges for depreciation, amortization (including intangible assets and inventory step-up), stock compensation, gain on sale of product lines and unrealized investment gains/losses in both periods and the contract settlement expense in 2021). These increaseslosses) were partiallymore than offset by higher cash used in aggregate for accounts receivables, inventories, and trade accounts payable and higher cash used for accrued and prepaid expenses in 20212022 compared to the prior year.
Net cash used in investing activities for continuing operations consisted primarily of cash paid for acquisitions, investments and capital expenditures and decreased year-over-year primarily as a result of lower cash paid for acquisitions and investments in the 20212022 period compared to 2020.2021. Refer to Note 32 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information on the Company’s acquisitions.
As of OctoberJuly 1, 2021,2022, the Company held approximately $2.6$4.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents.
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities provided by continuing operations 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, pension funding and other items impact reported cash flows.
Operating cash flows from continuing operations were approximately $6.0$4.0 billion for the first ninesix months of 2021, an increase2022, a decrease of approximately $2.0 billion,$23 million, or 51%1%, as compared to the comparable period of 2020.2021. The year-over-year change in operating cash flows from 20202021 to 20212022 was primarily attributable to the following factors:
20212022 operating cash flows reflected an increase of approximately $2.2 billion$4 million in net earnings from continuing operations for the first ninesix months of 20212022 as compared to the comparable period in 2020.2021.
Net earnings for the first ninesix months of 20212022 also reflected an increase of $609$472 million of depreciation, intangible asset amortization, (intangible assets and inventory step-up), stock compensation expense and unrealized investment gains/losses and

Amortization expense primarily relates to the amortization of intangible assets and inventory fair value adjustments. Depreciation expense relates to both the Company’s manufacturing and operating facilities as well as instrumentation leased to customers under OTLoperating-type lease arrangements. Contract settlement expense represents the pretax charge related to the modificationDepreciation,

Refer to Note 11 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for additional information on the contract settlement expense.

Cash flows from the gain on sale of product lines are reflected in cash flows from investing activities while unrealized investment gains/losses impact net earnings without immediately impacting cash flows.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 $490$824 million in operating cash flows during the first ninesix months of 2021,2022, compared to $138$433 million of operating cash flows used in the comparable period of 2020.2021. 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 growth of the Company’s business and the timing of collections and payments in a period.period, as well as actions to increase inventory to mitigate supply chain disruptions.
The aggregate of prepaid expenses and other assets, deferred income taxes and accrued expenses and other liabilities used $29$33 million of operating cash flows during the first ninesix months of 2021,2022, compared to $351$75 million of operating cash flows provided in the comparable period of 2020.2021. The timing of cash payments for income taxes, various employee-related liabilities, customer funding and changes in accrued expenses, drove the majority of this change.
Dynamics relating to the COVID-19 pandemic could have a future adverse impact on the Company’s operating cash flow if demand for the Company’s products related to COVID-19 declines or if future measures to contain and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 adversely impact the Company’s sales and earnings or the collections of accounts receivable (including delays in collections and increases in uncollectible receivables), and/or further adversely impact our supply chain and inventory levels.
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 approximately $8.6 billion$1,157 million in the nine-monthsix-month period ended OctoberJuly 1, 20212022 compared to the comparable period of 2020,2021, primarily as a result of cash used for the Company’s acquisition of Cytivaacquisitions in the first quarterhalf of 2020 partially offset by2021 exceeding the approximately $9.6 billion of cash used for the acquisition of Aldevronacquisitions in the third quarterfirst half of 2021.2022.

Cash and Cash Requirements
As of OctoberJuly 1, 2021,2022, the Company held approximately $2.6$4.0 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, $58 millionapproximately $1.7 billion was held within the United States and approximately $2.5$2.3 billion was held outside of the United States.

Tax, in general, repatriation of cash to the United States 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, applicable to such earnings including basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries are not readily determinable. As of OctoberJuly 1, 2021,2022, management believes that it has sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy its cash needs, including its cash needs in the United States. For information on the second quarter repatriation of cash held outside the United States, refer to “-Interest Costs and Financing.”
During 2021,2022, the Company’s cash contribution requirements for its U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans are forecasted to be approximately $50 million. The Company is forecasting no cash contributions for its U.S. defined benefit pension plan in 2021.$10 million and $44 million, respectively. The ultimate amounts to be contributed depend upon, among other things, legal requirements, underlying asset returns, the plan’s funded status, the anticipated tax deductibility of the contribution, local practices, market conditions, interest rates and other factors.

In the normal course of business, as permitted and authorized by the OFAC General License (but subject to the Company’s suspension of sales prohibited by sanctions and suspension of certain product shipments to Russia as a result of the conflict with Ukraine, as described above), certain of the Company’s subsidiaries may file notifications with, or apply for import licenses and permits from, the FSB as required pursuant to Russian encryption product import controls for the purpose of enabling such subsidiaries or their channel partners to import and distribute certain products in the Russian Federation. There are no gross revenues or net profits directly associated with these activities, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries distribute or sell products or provide services to the FSB. The Company expects that certain of its subsidiaries will continue to file notifications with and apply for import licenses and permits from the FSB to qualify their products for importation and distribution in the Russian Federation if and as permitted by applicable U.S. law, including the OFAC General License.
