DANAHER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1. GENERAL

The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included herein have been prepared by Danaher Corporation (“Danaher” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In this quarterly report, the terms “Danaher” or the “Company” refer to Danaher Corporation, Danaher Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, or the consolidated subsidiaries of Danaher Corporation, as the context requires. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 23, 2022 (the “2021 Annual Report”).

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, its results of operations for the ~~three-month~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and ~~April~~July 2, 2021 and its cash flows for each of the ~~three-month~~six-month periods then ended.

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report that have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related Notes. Reclassifications of certain prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted—In 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 requires entities to use the “if-converted” method when calculating diluted earnings per common share for convertible instruments. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the ASU and the ASU did 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 ~~ended~~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 ~~April~~both July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, operating lease right-of-use assets where the Company was the lessee were approximately $1.0 billion ~~in both periods~~ and are included within other long-term assets in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The associated operating lease liabilities were approximately $1.1 billion as of ~~April~~both July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 ~~respectively,~~ and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and other long-term liabilities.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

For a description of the Company’s acquisition activity for the year ended December 31, 2021, reference is made to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Note 2 thereto included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Table of Contents

The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that either strategically fit with the Company’s existing portfolio or expand the Company’s portfolio into a new and attractive business area. The Company has completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as purchases and have resulted in the recognition of goodwill in the Company’s financial statements. This goodwill arises because the purchase prices for these businesses exceed the fair value of acquired identifiable

~~Table of Contents~~

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 the information used for the purchase price allocation during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, as the Company obtains additional information about 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 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 2022 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.

During the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022, the Company acquired ~~1 business~~2 businesses for total consideration of ~~$13~~$77 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The businesses acquired ~~and recorded goodwill and intangible assets of $3 million and $10 million, respectively.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma information for the periods set forth below gives effect to the 2021 and 2022 acquisitions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2021. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisitions been consummated as of that time ($ in millions, except per share amounts):

Diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations (a)	2.25		2.20		4.56		4.38

(a) Diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations is calculated by deducting the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) dividends from net earnings from continuing operations for the anti-dilutive MCPS shares (refer to Note 34 for additional information).

NOTE 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 three and six-month periods ended 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 3.4. 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 ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and ~~April~~July 2, 2021, approximately ~~418~~2.4 million and 193 thousand options to purchase shares, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS from continuing operations calculation and 71for 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.

~~Table of Contents~~

The impact of the MCPS Series A calculated under the if-converted ~~meth~~odmethod was dilutive for both the ~~three-month~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and ~~April~~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 for both three-month periods and the~~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~~EPS. On April 15, 2022, all outstanding shares of the MCPS Series A converted into 11.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock. There were 0 MCPS Series A dividends declared in the second quarter of 2022 prior to their conversion and the MCPS Series A were dilutive for ~~both periods.~~all periods prior to the conversion. Refer to Note 15 for additional information about the MCPS Series A conversion.

The impact of the MCPS Series B calculated under the if-converted method was anti-dilutive for both the ~~three-month~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and ~~April~~July 2, 2021, and as such 8.6 million shares, for both the three and six-month periods underlying the MCPS Series B were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS ~~in both periods~~ and the related MCPS Series B dividends of ~~$21~~of $22 million and $21 million for the three-month periods, respectively, and $43 million and $42 million for the six-month periods, respectively, were included in the calculation of net earnings for diluted ~~EPS for both periods.~~EPS.

(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 ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and ~~April~~July 2, 2021, lease revenue was ~~$124~~$117 million. For the six-month periods ended July 1, 2022 and July 2, 2021, lease revenue was $241 million and ~~$117~~$234 million, respectively.

~~Table of Contents~~

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 ~~April~~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 ~~56%~~60% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 months, ~~22%~~24% over the subsequent 12 months, and the remainder recognized thereafter.

Table of Contents

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (“contract assets”) and deferred revenue, customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (“contract liabilities”) on the 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 ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was ~~$89~~$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 ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, contract liabilities were approximately ~~$2.1~~$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 ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~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.~~balance and the impact of foreign currency. Revenue recognized during the ~~three-month~~six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and ~~April~~July 2, 2021 that was included in the contract liability balance on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was ~~$662~~$995 million and ~~$520~~$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 5.6. 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.

Segment results are shown below ($ in millions):

NOTE 6.7. INCOME TAXES

The following table summarizes the Company’s effective tax rate:

Three-Month Period Ended
April 1, 2022 April 2, 2021
Effective tax rate 17.8 % 18.3 %


	Three-Month Period Ended				Six-Month Period Ended
	July 1, 2022		July 2, 2021		July 1, 2022		July 2, 2021
Effective tax rate	18.8	%	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 ~~April~~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 ~~$41~~$49 million related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. ~~These factors~~The net discrete benefits reduced the effective tax rate by ~~2.0%~~1.2% for the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022.

The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended ~~April~~July 2, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to net discrete benefits of ~~$44~~$76 million related primarily to ~~excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and~~ the ~~benefit from~~ release of reserves for uncertain tax positions ~~from~~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 ~~2.1%~~3.7% for the three-month period ended ~~April~~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 ~~cost~~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 ~~pension cost~~benefit costs for the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~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.

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.

NOTE 8.9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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 an impairment ~~trigger~~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.~~name in 2021.

NOTE 9.10. 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.

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

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 ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, available-for-sale debt securities primarily included U.S. Treasury Notes and corporate debt 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 ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s equity method investments included investments in partnerships with a carrying value of approximately $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. During the ~~three-month~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022, the Company recorded net realized and ~~April~~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 ~~losses~~gains of ~~$24~~$86 million and ~~net realized and unrealized gains of $116~~$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. Refer to Note 78 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 non-U.S. operations against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Danish kroner, Japanese yen, euro and Swiss franc. 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 1112 for additional information.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s other financial instruments were as follows ($ in millions):


		April 1, 2022				December 31, 2021					July 1, 2022				December 31, 2021

As of ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and December 31, 2021, short and long-term borrowings were categorized as Level 1. The fair value of long-term borrowings was based on quoted market prices. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amounts of long-term borrowings is attributable to changes in market interest rates and/or the Company’s credit ratings subsequent to the incurrence of the borrowing. The fair values of borrowings with original maturities of one year or less, as well as cash and cash

For additional details regarding the Company’s debt financing, refer to Note 14 of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

The Company has historically satisfied short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flow and available cash primarily through issuances of commercial paper under its U.S. dollar and euro-denominated commercial paper programs.

NOTE ~~11.~~12. HEDGING TRANSACTIONS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company uses cross-currency swap derivative contracts to partially hedge its net investments in non-U.S. operations against adverse movements in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Danish kroner, Japanese yen, euro and Swiss franc. 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 December 2031.

The Company also uses cross-currency swap derivative contracts to hedge U.S. dollar-denominated long-term debt issuances in a foreign subsidiary whose functional currency is the euro against adverse movements in exchange rates 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), 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), 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 ~~April~~July 2022 to May 2032.

Table of Contents

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 acquisition of Cytiva and a portion of the 2051 Notes. 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 and December 2021, respectively. The changes in the fair value of these instruments were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) prior to the issuance of the debt and are subsequently being reclassified to interest expense over the life of the related debt.

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.

The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component are summarized below ($ in millions).

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

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide material information relevant to an assessment of Danaher Corporation’s (“Danaher,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) financial condition and results of operations, including an evaluation of the amounts and certainty of cash flows from operations and from outside sources. The MD&A is designed to focus specifically on material events and uncertainties known to management that are reasonably likely to cause reported financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating results or of future financial condition. This includes descriptions and amounts of matters that have had a material impact on reported operations, as well as matters that are reasonably likely based on management’s assessment to have a material impact on future operations. The Company’s MD&A is divided into five sections:

•Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

•Overview

•Results of Operations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Critical Accounting Estimates

You should read this discussion along with the Company’s MD&A and audited financial statements and Notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report and the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and related Notes as of and for the ~~three-month period~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Report”).

Unless otherwise indicated, all financial results in this Report refer to continuing operations.

INFORMATION RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this Report, in other documents we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our press releases, webcasts, conference calls, materials delivered to shareholders and other communications, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. All statements other than historical factual information are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding: projections of revenue, expenses, profit, profit margins, pricing, tax rates, tax provisions, cash flows, pension and benefit obligations and funding requirements, our liquidity position or other projected financial measures; management’s plans and strategies for future operations, including statements relating to anticipated operating performance, cost reductions, restructuring activities, new product and service developments, competitive strengths or market position, acquisitions and the integration thereof, divestitures, spin-offs, split-offs or other distributions, strategic opportunities, securities offerings, stock repurchases, dividends and executive compensation; growth, declines and other trends in markets we sell into; new or modified laws, regulations and accounting pronouncements; future regulatory approvals and the timing and conditionality thereof; outstanding claims, legal proceedings, tax audits and assessments and other contingent liabilities; future foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates; the potential or anticipated direct or indirect impact of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations and/or financial condition; general economic and capital markets conditions; the anticipated timing of any of the foregoing; assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and any other statements that address events or developments that Danaher intends or believes will or may occur in the future. Terminology such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “forecast” and “positioned” and similar references to future periods are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements are accompanied by such words.

Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from the results, developments and business decisions contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any

2125

Table of Contents

such forward-looking statements. Important factors that in some cases have affected us in the past and that in the future could cause actual results to differ materially from those envisaged in the forward-looking statements include the following:

Business and Strategic Risks

•The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and continues to pose risks to, certain elements of our business and our financial statements, the nature and extent of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.

•Conditions in the global economy (including the current, high levels of inflation and supply chain challenges), the particular markets we serve and the financial markets can adversely affect our business and financial statements.

•We face intense competition and if we are unable to compete effectively, we may experience decreased demand and market share. Even if we compete effectively, we may be required to reduce the prices we charge.

•Our growth depends on the timely development and commercialization, and customer acceptance, of new and enhanced products and services based on technological innovation. Our growth can also suffer if the markets into which we sell our products and services decline, do not grow as anticipated or experience cyclicality.

•The health care industry and related industries that we serve have undergone, and are in the process of undergoing, significant changes in an effort to reduce (and increase the predictability of) costs, which can adversely affect our business and financial statements.

•Non-U.S. economic, political, legal, compliance, social and business factors (including the conflict in Ukraine and the United Kingdom’s (“U.K”) departure from the European Union (“EU”)) can negatively affect our business and financial statements.

•Collaborative partners and other third-parties we rely on for development, supply and marketing of certain products, potential products and technologies could fail to perform sufficiently.

Acquisitions, Divestitures and Investment Risks

•Any inability to consummate acquisitions at our historical rate and appropriate prices, and to make appropriate investments that support our long-term strategy, could negatively impact our business. Our acquisition of businesses, investments, joint ventures and other strategic relationships could also negatively impact our business and financial statements and our indemnification rights may not fully protect us from liabilities related thereto.

•Divestitures or other dispositions could negatively impact our business, and contingent liabilities from businesses that we or our predecessors have disposed could adversely affect our business and financial statements. For example, we could incur significant liability if any of the split-off or spin-off transactions we have consummated is determined to be a taxable transaction or otherwise pursuant to our indemnification obligations with respect to such transactions.

Operational Risks

•Significant disruptions in, or breaches in security of, our information technology systems or data; other losses or disruptions due to catastrophe; and labor disputes can all adversely affect our business and financial statements.

•Defects and unanticipated use or inadequate disclosure with respect to our products or services, or allegations thereof, can adversely affect our business and financial statements.

•If we encounter problems manufacturing products, fail or are unable to adjust our manufacturing capacity or related purchases to reflect changing conditions, or suffer disruptions due to sole or limited sources of supply or due to limited availability of labor, our business and financial statements may suffer. Adverse changes with respect to key distributors and other channel partners can also adversely affect our business and financial statements.

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

•Our success depends on our ability to recruit, retain and motivate talented employees representing diverse backgrounds, experiences and skill sets.

•Our restructuring actions can have long-term adverse effects on our business and financial statements.

2226

Table of Contents

Intellectual Property Risks

•Any inability to adequately protect or avoid third-party infringement of our intellectual property, and third-party claims we are infringing intellectual property rights, can adversely affect our business and financial statements.

Financial and Tax Risks

•Our outstanding debt has increased significantly as a result of acquisitions and we may incur additional debt in the future. Our existing and future indebtedness may limit our operations and our use of our cash flow and negatively impact our credit ratings; and any failure to comply with the covenants that apply to our indebtedness could adversely affect our business and financial statements.

•Our business and financial statements can be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rates, changes in our tax rates (including as a result of changes in tax laws) or income tax liabilities/assessments, the outcome of tax audits or litigation, financial market risks related to our defined benefit pension plans, recognition of impairment charges for our goodwill or other intangible assets and fluctuations in the cost and availability of commodities.

Legal, Regulatory, Compliance and Reputational Risks

•Our businesses are subject to extensive regulation (including regulations applicable to the healthcare industry). Failure to comply with those regulations (including by our employees, agents or business partners) or significant developments or changes in U.S. laws or policies can adversely affect our business and financial statements. Changes in governmental regulations can also reduce demand for our offerings or increase our expenses.

•With respect to the regulated medical devices we offer, certain modifications to such products may require new regulatory clearance (such as 510(k) clearances) or other marketing authorizations and may require us to recall or cease marketing such products; off-label marketing of such products could result in ~~penalties;~~liabilities; and clinical trials we conduct with respect to such products or potential products may have results that are unexpected or are perceived unfavorably by the market, all of which could adversely affect our business and financial statements.

•We are subject to or otherwise responsible for a variety of litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings in the course of our business that can adversely affect our business and financial statements.

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

•Our By-law exclusive forum provisions could limit our stockholders’ ability to choose their preferred judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees.

See Part I—Item 1A of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report and Part II-Item 1A of this report for further discussion regarding reasons that actual results may differ materially from the results, developments and business decisions contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, document, press release, webcast, call, materials or other communication in which they are made. Except to the extent required by applicable law, we do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events and developments or otherwise.

OVERVIEW

General

As a result of the Company’s geographic and industry diversity, the Company faces a variety of opportunities and challenges, including rapid technological development ~~(particularly with respect to computing, automation, artificial intelligence, mobile connectivity, 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

Table of Contents

global environment. The Company is making significant investments, organically and through acquisitions and investments, to address the rapid pace of technological change in its served markets and to globalize its manufacturing, research and development and customer-facing resources (particularly in high-growth markets) to be responsive to the Company’s customers throughout the world and improve the efficiency of the Company’s operations.

Business Performance and Outlook

During the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, the Company’s overall revenues increased ~~12.0%~~7.5% compared to the comparable period of 2021. Core sales increased ~~12.0%~~9.5% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 compared to the prior period and acquisitions contributed ~~2.0%~~2.5% to the increase in revenues. The impact of currency translation decreased reported sales ~~2.0%~~4.5%. For the six-month period ended July 1, 2022, overall revenues increased 9.5%. Core sales increased 10.5% in the six-month period ended July 1, 2022 compared to the prior period and acquisitions contributed 2.5% to the increase in revenues. The impact of foreign currency exchange rates decreased revenues by 3.5%. For the definition of “core sales” refer to “—Results of Operations” below.

Geographically, the Company saw increases in core sales in both developed markets and the high-growth ~~markets. Developed~~ markets ~~grew more than 15%~~ during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022 compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2021,~~2021. Developed markets core sales grew at a low-double digit rate driven primarily by North America and Western Europe. High-growth markets ~~increased at a low-single-digit rate during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the comparable period of 2021, as growth in India and other high-growth markets offset lower demand in~~core sales grew mid-single digits, driven primarily by China, as ~~a result of a difficult prior year comparison due to~~ the ~~completion of a major project~~Company largely recovered from COVID-19 related shutdowns early in ~~China in 2021 as well as~~ the ~~impact of COVID-related shutdowns in China that accelerated in late March.~~second quarter. High-growth markets represented approximately ~~28%~~30% of the Company’s total sales in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022. For additional information regarding the Company’s sales by geographical region during the ~~three-month~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and ~~April~~July 2, 2021, refer to Note 45 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

The Company’s net earnings from continuing operations for the ~~three-month period~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 totaled ~~$1,725~~$1,680 million ~~compared to $1,702~~and $3,405 million, respectively, and the Company’s net earnings from continuing operations for the ~~three-month period~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 2, ~~2021.~~2021 totaled $1,699 million and $3,401 million, respectively. Net earnings attributable to common stockholders for the ~~three-month period~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 totaled ~~$1,684~~$1,658 million or ~~$2.31~~$2.25 per diluted common share and $3,342 million or $4.56 per diluted common share, respectively, compared to ~~$1,661~~$1,744 million or ~~$2.29~~$2.40 per diluted common share and $3,405 million or $4.68 per diluted common share, respectively, for the ~~three-month period~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 2, 2021. ~~The increase in net earnings and diluted net earnings per common share for the three-month period ended April 1, 2022 compared to the~~ ~~three-month period ended April 2, 2021~~ ~~was primarily driven by increased~~Increased core sales, ~~partially~~ offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, ~~Russia-related charges described below~~investment losses and higher material, transportation and labor ~~costs.~~costs drove the change in net earnings from continuing operations and diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations for both the three and six-month periods ended July 1, 2022.

During the three 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 these pressures on the Company’s profitability and as a result such pressures did not have a material adverse effect on the business in the three and six-month periods ended July 1, 2022. The Company continues to monitor these supply chain and inflation factors, as well as the uncertainty resulting from the overall economic environment and rising interest rates.

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 the purposes of diagnosing and treating patients and producing vaccines and therapeutics. ~~The~~In the first quarter of 2022, the Company ~~has~~ recorded a pretax charge of $43 million, ~~in the first quarter of 2022,~~ primarily related to the 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 Ukraine and Russia, and will consider further actions as appropriate.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company continues to actively monitor the COVID-19 pandemic, including the current spread of certain variants of the virus and plan for potential impacts on its business. The Company is also deploying our capabilities, expertise and scale to address the critical health needs related to COVID-19, including developing and making available diagnostic tests for the rapid detection of COVID-19 as well as providing critical support to firms that are developing and producing vaccines and therapies for COVID-19. While conditions related to the pandemic generally have improved in 2022 compared to 2021, 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, with a modest impact on~~restrictions. These measures continued through most of the second quarter of 2022, impacting portions of the Company’s operations in ~~China. These stay-at-home~~China prior to the easing of restrictions in May and ~~quarantine mandates have also impacted patient volumes for~~ the Company’s Diagnostics business and have continued with a more significant impact in the second quarter of 2022 through the date of this Report. The Company anticipates the situation will ease in the coming weeks with an eventual return to more normalized activity levels by the end of June. The extent to which these restrictions ~~continue~~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

Table of Contents

our geographic and business line diversity, its further impact on our business remains highly uncertain, but may be materially negative to certain elements of our business. The potential negative impact will depend on future developments including but not limited to:

•the degree of spread and severity of COVID-19 variants such as Omicron ~~BA.2~~BA.5 and government responses thereto;

~~Table of Contents~~

•the timing and durability of continued recovery in the global demand for our non-COVID-19 related products and services; and

•the degree of ongoing demand for products supporting COVID-19 testing and for products related to developing and producing vaccines and therapies for COVID-19.

For additional information on the risks of COVID-19 to the Company’s operations, refer to the “Item 1A. Risk Factors” section of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

Acquisitions

During the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022, the Company acquired ~~one business~~two businesses for total consideration of ~~$13~~$77 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The businesses acquired ~~and recorded goodwill and intangible assets of $3 million and $10 million, respectively. The business acquired complements an~~complement existing ~~unit~~units of the Company’s Life Science and Environmental & Applied Solutions ~~segment.~~segments. The aggregate annual sales of ~~this business~~the two businesses acquired in 2022 at the time of acquisition, in each case based on the company’s revenues for its last completed fiscal year prior to the acquisition, were $7 million. ~~The Company also paid $4 million for working capital adjustments related to 2021 acquisitions during the first quarter of 2022.~~

Currency Exchange Rates

On a year-over-year basis, currency exchange rates negatively impacted reported sales by approximately ~~2.0%~~4.5% and 3.5% for the ~~three-month period~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022, respectively, compared to the comparable ~~period~~periods of 2021, primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most major currencies in 2022. If the currency exchange rates in effect as of ~~April~~July 1, 2022 were to prevail throughout the remainder of 2022, currency exchange rates would decrease the Company’s estimated second half 2022 sales by approximately 4.0% and full year sales by approximately ~~2.0%~~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 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.

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) 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. The portion of revenue attributable to currency translation is calculated as the difference between:

•the period-to-period change in revenue (excluding sales from acquired businesses (as defined above)); and

•the period-to-period change in revenue (excluding sales from acquired businesses (as defined above)) after applying current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period.

Core sales growth should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that reporting this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in Danaher’s business and facilitating comparisons of Danaher’s revenue performance with its performance in prior and future periods and to Danaher’s peers. Management also uses this non-GAAP financial ~~measures~~measure to measure the Company’s operating and financial performance and uses core sales growth as one of the performance measures in the Company’s executive short-term cash incentive compensation program. The Company excludes the effect of currency translation from this measure because currency

Table of Contents

translation is not under management’s control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends, and excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestiture-related items because the nature, size, timing and number of acquisitions and divestitures can vary dramatically from period-to-period and between the Company and its peers and can also obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.

~~Table of Contents~~

Throughout this discussion, references to sales growth or decline refer to the impact of both price and unit sales and references to productivity improvements generally refer to improved cost-efficiencies resulting from the ongoing application of the Danaher Business System.

The impact of currency translation decreased reported sales ~~2.0%~~4.5% and 3.5% on a year-over-year basis during the ~~three-month period~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022, respectively, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against most other major currencies in 2022 compared to the comparable ~~period~~periods of 2021.

These declines were partially offset in both the three and six-month periods by continued investments in sales and marketing growth initiatives, increased labor costs and higher amortization expense, as well as an impairment charge related to technology and customer relationships in the second quarter of 2022, net of the impact of an impairment charge related to a trade name which was incurred in the first quarter of ~~2021.

In June 2022, the Company repatriated approximately $2.5 billion of non-U.S. cash and used a portion of the funds for the repayment of the Company’s outstanding U.S. commercial paper and the Floating Rate 2022 Euronotes. The remaining funds were deposited into short-term bank deposits and interest-bearing investment-grade securities.

Interest expense of ~~$54~~$51 million and $105 million for the ~~three-month period~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022, respectively, was $4$11 million lower and $15 million lower than the comparable ~~period~~periods of 2021, due primarily to lower average debt balances in the ~~three-month period~~three and six-month periods in 2022 versus the comparable ~~period~~periods of 2021 and the impact of the stronger U.S. dollar in 2022 on the interest expense for the Company’s foreign currency denominated debt (and U.S. dollar debt that has been converted into a foreign currency through cross-currency swap derivative contracts).

Interest income of $1$2 million and $3 million for the ~~three-month period~~three and six-month periods ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022, respectively, was $3$1 million lower and $4 million lower than the comparable ~~period~~periods of 2021, due primarily to lower average cash balances in 2022 compared to ~~2021.~~2021 during both periods.

INCOME TAXES

The following table summarizes the Company’s effective tax rate:

Three-Month Period Ended
April 1, 2022 April 2, 2021
Effective tax rate 17.8 % 18.3 %


	Three-Month Period Ended				Six-Month Period Ended

Effective tax rate	18.8	%	16.8	%	18.3	%	17.6	%

The Company operates globally, including in certain jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the 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 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.

~~Refer to Note 6 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for discussion regarding the Company’s significant tax matters.~~

Table of Contents

The Company expects its effective tax rate for the remainder of 2022 to be approximately 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 2022 includes the anticipated discrete income tax benefits from excess tax deductions related to the Company’s stock compensation programs, which are reflected as a reduction in tax expense, though the actual benefits (if any) will depend on the Company’s stock price and stock option exercise patterns.

•The actual mix of earnings by jurisdiction could fluctuate from the Company’s projection.

•The tax effects of other discrete items, including accruals related to tax contingencies, the resolution of worldwide tax matters, tax audit settlements, statute of limitations expirations and changes in tax regulations.

•Any future changes in tax law or the implementation of recently proposed increases in tax rates, the impact of future regulations and any related additional tax planning efforts to address these changes.

As a result of the uncertainty in predicting these items, it is reasonably possible that the actual effective tax rate used for financial reporting purposes will change in future periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management assesses the Company’s liquidity in terms of its ability to generate cash to fund its operating, investing and financing activities. The Company continues to generate substantial cash from operating activities and believes that its operating cash flow, cash on hand and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient to allow it to continue investing in existing businesses (including capital expenditures), consummating strategic acquisitions and investments, paying interest and servicing debt, paying dividends, 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, the Company anticipates following the same approach in the future.

•Operating cash flows ~~increased $97~~from continuing operations decreased $23 million, or 5%1%, during the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 as compared to the comparable period of 2021, ~~due to~~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)~~. These increases~~ were ~~partially~~more than offset by higher cash used in aggregate for accounts receivables, inventories, trade accounts payable and accrued and prepaid expenses in 2022 compared to the prior year.

•Net cash used in investing activities for continuing operations consisted primarily of investments and capital expenditures and decreased year-over-year primarily as a result of lower cash paid for acquisitions and investments in the 2022 period compared to 2021. Refer to Note 2 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for information on the Company’s acquisitions.

•As of ~~April~~July 1, 2022, the Company held approximately ~~$3.7~~$4.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents.

~~Table of Contents~~

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 ~~$2.0~~$4.0 billion for the first ~~three~~six months of 2022, ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$97~~$23 million, or 5%1%, as compared to the comparable period of 2021. The year-over-year change in operating cash flows from 2021 to 2022 was primarily attributable to the following factors:

•2022 operating cash flows reflected an increase of ~~$23~~$4 million in net earnings from continuing operations for the first ~~three~~six months of 2022 as compared to the comparable period in 2021.

•Net earnings for the first ~~three~~six months of 2022 also reflected an increase of ~~$186~~$472 million of depreciation, intangible asset amortization, ~~and~~ stock compensation expense and unrealized investment gains/losses and the gain on sale of product lines as compared to the comparable period of 2021, net of a decrease in amortization of an acquisition-related inventory step-up ~~unrealized investment gains/losses and the gain on sale of product lines~~ in 2022 compared to 2021. 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 operating-type lease arrangements. Depreciation,

Table of Contents

amortization and stock compensation are noncash expenses that decrease earnings without a corresponding impact to operating cash flows. 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 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 ~~$482~~$824 million in operating cash flows during the first ~~three~~six months of 2022, compared to ~~$150~~$433 million of operating cash flows used in the comparable period of 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 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 ~~provided $56~~used $33 million of operating cash flows during the first ~~three~~six months of 2022, compared to ~~$164~~$75 million of operating cash flows ~~used~~provided in the comparable period of 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.

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 ~~$490~~$1,157 million in the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 compared to the comparable period of 2021, primarily as a result of cash used for the Company’s acquisitions in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2021 exceeding the cash used for acquisitions in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2022. For a discussion of the Company’s acquisitions during the first ~~three~~six months of 2022 refer to “—Overview”. In addition, in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2022 and 2021, the Company invested ~~$274~~$328 million and ~~$420~~$552 million, respectively, in non-marketable equity securities and partnerships.

Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing manufacturing capacity, replacing equipment, supporting new product development, improving information technology systems and the manufacture of instruments that are used in OTL arrangements that certain of the Company’s businesses enter into with customers. Capital expenditures ~~were essentially flat~~decreased $10 million on a year-over-year basis for the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 compared to the comparable period in ~~2021.~~2021, due to declines in expenditures for instruments used in operating-type lease arrangements, partially offset by expenditures to increase capacity, including incremental capital expenditures as a result of the Cytiva and Aldevron acquisitions. For the full year 2022, the Company forecasts capital spending to be approximately $1.5 billion, driven primarily by continued expenditures ~~primarily~~ to support customer ~~demand for products related to testing, treatment and vaccine production for COVID-19 and other growth opportunities.~~demand.

Financing Activities and Indebtedness

Cash flows relating to financing activities typically consist primarily of cash flows associated with the issuance and repayments of commercial paper, issuance and repayment of long-term debt, borrowings under committed credit facilities, issuance and repurchases of common stock, issuance of preferred stock and payments of cash dividends to shareholders. Financing activities used cash of ~~$274~~$1,434 million during the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 compared to ~~$449~~$588 million of cash used in the comparable period of 2021. The year-over-year ~~decrease~~increase in cash used by financing activities was due primarily to repayment of borrowings in ~~2021.~~2022.

For a description of the Company’s outstanding debt as of ~~April~~July 1, 2022 and the Company’s commercial paper programs and credit facility, refer to Note 1011 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. As of ~~April~~July 1, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of its respective debt covenants.

~~As discussed in Note 14 to the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, all~~All outstanding shares of the Company’s 4.75% MCPS Series A converted to common shares on April 15, 2022 at a rate of 6.6632 common shares per share of preferred stock.

Dividends

Aggregate cash payments for dividends on Company common stock during the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 were ~~$150~~$329 million and aggregate cash payments for dividends on the Company’s MCPS during the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022 were ~~$41~~$82 million. The increase in dividend payments over the comparable period of 2021 primarily relates to an increase in the quarterly dividend rate for common stock beginning with respect to the dividend paid in the second quarter of 2021.

In the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, the Company declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share of Company common stock payable on ~~April~~July 29, 2022 to holders of record as of ~~March 25,~~June 24, 2022. In addition, the Company declared a ~~quarterly cash dividend of $11.875 per MCPS Series A that was paid on April 15, 2022 to holders of record as of March 31, 2022 and~~ quarterly cash dividend of $12.50 per MCPS Series B that was paid on ~~April~~July 15, 2022 to holders of record as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Cash and Cash Requirements

As of ~~April~~July 1, 2022, the Company held approximately ~~$3.7~~$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, ~~$186 million~~approximately $1.7 billion was held within the United States and approximately ~~$3.5~~$2.3 billion was held outside of the United States. The Company will continue to have cash requirements to support general corporate purposes, which may include working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments, paying interest and servicing debt, paying taxes and any related interest or penalties, funding its restructuring activities and pension plans as required, paying dividends to shareholders, repurchasing shares of the Company’s common stock and supporting other business needs.

The Company generally intends to use available cash and internally generated funds to meet these cash requirements, but in the event that additional liquidity is required, the Company may also borrow under its commercial paper programs (if available) or borrow under the Company’s Five-Year Facility, enter into new credit facilities and either borrow directly thereunder or use such credit facilities to backstop additional borrowing capacity under its commercial paper programs (if available) and/or access the capital markets (if available). The Company also may from time to time seek to access the capital markets to take advantage of favorable interest rate environments or other market conditions. With respect to the commercial paper and other notes scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2022, the Company expects to repay the principal amounts when due using available cash, proceeds from new issuances of commercial paper (if available), drawing on its Five-Year Facility and/or proceeds from other debt issuances.

While repatriation of some cash held outside the United States may be restricted by local laws, most of the Company’s foreign cash could be repatriated to the United States. Following enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the associated Transition 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

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's 2021 Annual Report with the following risk factor. Additional information regarding risk factors can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Information Related to Forward-Looking Statements,” in Part I—Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and in Part I—Item 1A of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report.

The military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has adversely affected and may further adversely affect our business and financial statements.

Given the nature of our business and our global operations, military, political, economic, social and other conditions in non-U.S. countries and regions, including geopolitical risks such as the current military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, may adversely affect our business and financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2021, approximately 1% of the Company’s sales were derived from customers based in Russia, and Ukraine accounted for a de minimis percentage of the Company’s sales. In light of the situation 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 the purposes of diagnosing and treating patients and producing vaccines and therapeutics. We incurred a pretax charge of $43 million in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2022 as a result of Russia-related asset impairments, accruals for contractual obligations and similar items and we may incur additional charges in the future. The conflict in Ukraine may escalate and/or expand in scope and the broader consequences of this conflict, which have included and/or may in the future include sanctions, embargoes, regional instability and geopolitical shifts; potential retaliatory action by the Russian government against companies, including us, such as nationalization of foreign businesses in Russia; and increased tensions between the United States and countries in which we operate cannot be predicted, nor can we predict the conflict’s impact on the global economy and on our business and financial statements.

The Russia and Ukraine conflict may also heighten many other risks disclosed in our Annual Report, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and financial statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including increased inflation, constraints on the availability of commodities, supply chain disruption and decreased business spending; disruptions to our or our business partners’ global technology infrastructure, including through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; claims, litigation and regulatory enforcement; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy; terrorist activities; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; reputational risk; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets.

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

Neither the Company nor any “affiliated purchaser” repurchased any shares of Company common stock during the ~~three-month~~six-month period ended ~~April~~July 1, 2022. On July 16, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to 20 million shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. There is no expiration date for the Repurchase Program, and the timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the program will be determined by ~~the~~members of Company’s management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Any repurchased shares will be available for use in connection with the Company’s equity compensation plans (or any successor plans) and for other corporate purposes. As of ~~April~~July 1, 2022, 20 million shares remained available for repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Program. The Company expects to fund any future stock repurchases using the Company’s available cash balances or proceeds from the issuance of debt.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Disclosure Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act

Pursuant to Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012, which amended the Exchange Act to add Section 13(r) thereof, an issuer is required to disclose in its annual or quarterly reports, as applicable, whether, during the relevant reporting period, it or any entity acting on its behalf knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings related to parties subject to sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) within the U.S. Department of the Treasury, even if those transactions are authorized by law.

Table of Contents

On March 2, 2021, the U.S. government designated the Russian Federal Security Service (the “FSB”) as a blocked party under Executive Order 13382. On the same day, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control issued General License No. 1B (the “OFAC General License”), which generally authorizes U.S. companies to engage in certain transactions and dealings with the FSB necessary and ordinarily incident to requesting or obtaining licenses, permits, certifications or notifications issued or registered by the FSB for the importation, distribution or use of information technology products in Russia.
