1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (Mettler-Toledo or the Company) is a leading global supplier of precision instruments and services. The Company manufactures weighing instruments for use in laboratory, industrial, packaging, logistics and food retailing applications. The Company also manufactures several related analytical instruments and provides automated chemistry solutions used in drug and chemical compound discovery and development. In addition, the Company manufactures metal detection and other end-of-line inspection systems used in production and packaging and provides solutions for use in certain process analytics applications. The Company's primary manufacturing facilities are located in China, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Company's principal executive offices are located in Columbus, Ohio and Greifensee, Switzerland.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include all entities in which the Company has control, which are its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These financial statements were prepared using information reasonably available as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and through the date of this report. Actual results may differ from those estimates due to uncertainty in the economic environment and our end markets, ongoing developments in Ukraine,the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and inflation, as well as other factors.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for expected credit losses represents the Company’s best estimate based on historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes direct materials, labor and overhead, is generally determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The estimated net realizable value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. Adjustments to the cost basis of the Company’s inventory are made for excess and obsolete items based on usage, orders and technological obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required.

Inventories consisted of the following:

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over the net asset value of companies acquired, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The annual evaluation for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are generally based on an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount.

Other intangible assets include indefinite-lived assets and assets subject to amortization. Where applicable, amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit. The straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in each reporting period. The Company assesses the initial acquisition of intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805 "Business Combinations" and the continued accounting for previously recognized intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 "Intangible - Goodwill and Other" and ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment".

Other intangible assets consisted of the following:

Revenue Recognition

Product revenue is recognized from contracts with customers when a customer has obtained control of a product. The Company considers control to have transferred based upon shipping terms. To the extent the Company’s arrangements have a separate performance obligation, revenue related to any post-shipment performance obligation is deferred until completed. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total net sales and the associated expense is a component of cost of sales. Certain products are also sold through indirect distribution channels whereby the distributor assumes any further obligations to the end customer. Revenue is recognized on these distributor arrangements upon transfer of control to the distributor. Contracts do not contain variable pricing arrangements that are retrospective, except for rebate programs. Rebates are estimated based on expected sales volumes and offset against revenue at the time such revenue is recognized. The Company generally maintains the right to accept or reject a product return in its terms and conditions and also maintains appropriate accruals for outstanding credits. The related provisions for estimated returns and rebates are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

Certain of the Company’s product arrangements include separate performance obligations, primarily related to installation. Such performance obligations are accounted for separately when the deliverables have stand-alone value and the satisfaction of the undelivered performance obligations is probable and within the Company's control. The allocation of revenue between the performance obligations is based on the observable stand-alone selling prices at the time of the sale in accordance with a number of factors including service technician billing rates, time to install, and geographic location.

Software is generally not considered a distinct performance obligation with the exception of a few small software applications. The Company generally does not sell software products without the related hardware instrument as the software is embedded in the product. The Company’s products typically require no significant production, modification, or customization of the hardware or software that is essential to the functionality of the products.

Service revenue not under contract is recognized upon the completion of the service performed. Revenue from spare parts sold on a stand-alone basis is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment or delivery. Revenue from service contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period using a time-based method. These contracts represent an obligation to perform repair and other services including regulatory compliance qualification, calibration, certification, and preventative maintenance on a customer’s pre-defined equipment over the contract period.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded $4.2 million and ~~$8.2~~$12.5 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $4.7 million and ~~$9.2~~$13.9 million for the corresponding periods in 2022.

Research and Development

Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries, consulting and other costs. The Company expenses these costs as incurred.

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

The Company accounts for business acquisitions under the accounting standards for business combinations. The results of each acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated results as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values and any consideration in excess of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The determination of the values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill and intangible assets, require significant judgment. Acquisition transaction costs are expensed when incurred.

In circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the expected contingent payments as of the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded to other charges (income), net.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, January 2021 and December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01 and ASU-2022-06: Reference Rate Reform which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR or another referenced rate. The guidance may be applied to any applicable contract entered into before December 31, 2024. During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, the Company amended its credit agreement and cross currency swap agreements to change the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR and other non-U.S. dollar references, which did not change the amount or timing of cash flows. As a result, the discontinuation of LIBOR in June 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3.REVENUE

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by product, service, timing of revenue recognition and geography. A summary of revenue by the Company’s reportable segments for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 follows:

The Company's global revenue mix by product category is laboratory (55% of sales), industrial (39% of sales) and retail (6% of sales). The Company's product revenue by reportable segment is proportionately similar to the Company's global mix except the Company's Swiss Operations is largely comprised of laboratory products while the Company's Chinese Operations has a slightly higher percentage of industrial products. A breakdown of the Company’s sales by product category for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30 is as follows:


		Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended					Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

The payment terms in the Company’s contracts with customers do not exceed one year and therefore contracts do not contain a significant financing component. In most cases, after appropriate credit evaluations, payments are due in arrears and are recognized as receivables. Unbilled revenue is recorded when performance obligations have been satisfied, but not yet billed to the customer. Unbilled revenue as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was ~~$40.0~~$43.5 million and $29.2 million, respectively, and is included within accounts receivable. Deferred revenue and customer prepayments are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of the performance obligation being satisfied. Deferred revenue primarily includes prepaid service contracts, as well as deferred installation.

Changes in the components of deferred revenue and customer prepayments during the ~~six~~nine month periods ending ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:


		2023		2022			2023		2022

Ending balance as of September 30						Ending balance as of September 30	$	190,784	$	198,179

The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the contract period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses. The value of unsatisfied performance obligations other than customer prepayments and deferred revenue associated with contracts greater than one year is immaterial.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. The Company enters into certain interest rate and cross currency swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The amount of the Company's fixed obligation interest payments may change based upon the expiration dates of its interest rate and cross currency swap agreements and the level and composition of its debt. The Company also enters into certain foreign currency forward contracts to limit the Company's exposure to currency fluctuations on the respective hedged items. For additional disclosures on derivative instruments regarding balance sheet location, fair value, and the amounts reclassified into other comprehensive income and the effective portion of the cash flow hedges, also see Note 5 and Note 9 to the interim consolidated financial statements. As also described in Note 7, the Company has designated its euro-denominated debt as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated foreign subsidiaries.

Cash Flow Hedges

In June 2023, the Company entered into a cross currency swap arrangement designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement converts $50 million of borrowings under the Company's credit facility into synthetic Swiss franc debt, which allows the Company to effectively change the floating rate SOFR-based interest payments, excluding the credit spread, to a fixed Swiss franc expense of 1.55%. The swap replaced the agreement that matured in June 2023. The swap matures in June 2027.

The Company amended all active cross currency swap agreements to replace all references of LIBOR to SOFR as the interest rate benchmark to align with the amendment to the Company's Credit Facility Agreement, as discussed in Note 7 to the interim consolidated financial statements. As part of these amendments, the corresponding fixed Swiss Franc interest rates were amended as well to reflect the change in the benchmark.

In November 2021, the Company entered into a cross currency swap arrangement designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement converts $50 million of borrowings under the Company's credit facility into synthetic Swiss franc debt, which allows the Company to effectively change the floating rate SOFR-based interest payments, excluding the credit spread, to a fixed Swiss franc income of 0.67%. The swap matures in November 2023.

In June 2021, the Company entered into a cross currency swap arrangement designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement converts $50 million of borrowings under the Company's credit facility into synthetic Swiss franc debt, which allows the Company to effectively change the floating rate SOFR-based interest payments, excluding the credit spread to a fixed Swiss franc income of 0.59%. The swap matures in June 2025.

In June 2019, the Company entered into a cross currency swap arrangement designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement converts $50 million of borrowings under the Company's credit facility into synthetic Swiss franc debt, which allows the Company to effectively change the floating rate LIBOR-based interest payments, excluding the credit spread, to a fixed Swiss franc income of 0.82%. The swap matured in June 2023.

The Company's cash flow hedges are recorded gross at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. A derivative gain of ~~$7.1~~$6.0 million based upon interest rates at ~~June~~September 30, 2023, is expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings in the next twelve months. The cash flow hedges remain effective as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023.

Other Derivatives

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts in order to economically hedge short-term trade and non-trade intercompany balances largely denominated in Swiss franc, other major European currencies, and the Chinese Renminbi with its foreign businesses. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, these contracts are considered “derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.” Gains or losses on these instruments are reported in current earnings. The foreign currency forward contracts are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as disclosed in Note 5. The Company recognized in other charges (income) a net loss of ~~$19.0~~$0.2 million and net loss of ~~$10.0~~$20.9 million during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a net loss of ~~$15.5~~$15.7 million and a net loss of ~~$8.5~~$29.3 million during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which offset the related transaction gains (losses) associated with these contracts. At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, these contracts had a notional value of ~~$725.0~~$697.3 million and $930.3 million, respectively.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

At ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had derivative assets totaling ~~$5.9~~$13.8 million and $11.5 million respectively, and derivative liabilities totaling ~~$9.3~~$4.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and therefore does not need to present all the required disclosures in tabular format. The fair values of the cross-currency swap agreements and foreign currency forward contracts that economically hedge short-term intercompany balances are estimated based upon inputs from current valuation information obtained from dealer quotes and priced with observable market assumptions and appropriate valuation adjustments for credit risk. The Company has evaluated the valuation methodologies used to develop the fair values by dealers in order to determine whether such valuations are representative of an exit price in the Company’s principal market. In addition, the Company uses an internally developed model to perform testing on the valuations received from brokers. The Company has also considered both its own credit risk and counterparty credit risk in determining fair value and determined these adjustments were insignificant at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement consists of observable and unobservable inputs that reflect the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A fair value hierarchy has been established that categorizes these inputs into three levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3: Unobservable inputs

The Company had ~~$23.0~~$9.7 million and $25.3 million of cash equivalents at ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the fair value of which is determined using Level 2 inputs, through quoted and corroborated prices in active markets. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates cost.

The fair value of the Company's debt is less than the carrying value by approximately ~~$248.0~~$274.7 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023. The fair value of the Company's fixed interest rate debt was estimated using Level 2 inputs, primarily discounted cash flow models, based on estimated current rates offered for similar debt under current market conditions for the Company.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, $10.0 million of contingent consideration was paid relating to the PendoTECH acquisition of which $5.6 million is included in financing activities for the amount accrued at the acquisition date and $4.4 million is included in operating activities for the amount not accrued at the acquisition date on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

During the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2022, $10.0 million of contingent consideration was paid relating to the PendoTECH acquisition of which $7.9 million is included in financing activities for the amount accrued at the acquisition date and $2.1 million is included in operating activities for the amount not accrued at the acquisition date on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company no longer has a contingent consideration obligation relating to the PendoTECH acquisition as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023.

6. INCOME TAXES

The Company's reported tax rate was ~~18.8%~~19.7% and ~~17.4%~~20.0% during the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and ~~17.9%~~18.5% and ~~17.8%~~18.6% during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The provision for taxes is based upon using the Company's projected annual effective tax rate of 19.0% before non-recurring discrete tax items during ~~both~~ 2023 and 2022. The difference between the Company's projected annual effective tax rate and the reported tax rate is primarily related to the timing of excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises.

14. CONTINGENCIES

The Company is party to various legal proceedings, including certain environmental matters, incidental to the normal course of business. Management does not expect that any of such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

General

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

Changes in local currency exclude the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations. Local currency amounts are determined by translating current and previous year consolidated financial information at an index utilizing historical currency exchange rates. We believe local currency information provides a helpful assessment of business performance and a useful measure of results between periods. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We present non-GAAP financial measures in reporting our financial results to provide investors with an additional analytical tool to evaluate our operating results.

We also include in the discussion below disclosures of immaterial qualitative factors that are not quantified. Although the impact of such factors is not considered material, we believe these disclosures can be useful in evaluating our operating results.

Results of Operations – Consolidated

The following tables set forth certain items from our interim consolidated statements of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine month periods ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022 (amounts in thousands).

However, there is increased uncertainty in the economic environment and our end markets, including the risk of recession in many countries, and market conditions may change quickly. In particular, market demand in China has significantly deteriorated ~~sharply~~ and we expect reduced sales during the remainder of 2023 as compared to the prior year. The ongoing developments related to Ukraine, and inflation, also present several risks to our business as further described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The recent escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has led to further turmoil in the geopolitical environment, and has increased global economic uncertainty.These ~~topics~~developments could adversely impact our financial results and could have a greater impact on our operating results in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities to meet our obligations and commitments. In addition, liquidity includes available borrowings under our Credit Agreement, the ability to obtain appropriate financing and our cash and cash equivalent balances. Currently, our liquidity needs are primarily driven by working capital requirements, capital expenditures, share repurchases and acquisitions. Global market conditions can be uncertain, and our ability to generate cash flow could be reduced by a deterioration in global markets.

We currently believe that cash flows from operating activities, together with liquidity available under our Credit Agreement, local working capital facilities, and cash balances, will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated working capital needs and spending requirements for at least the foreseeable future.

Cash provided by operating activities totaled ~~$420.1~~$684.4 million during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, compared to ~~$310.0~~$555.4 million in the corresponding period in 2022. The increase for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 is primarily related to favorable working capital and lower cash incentive payments of $20 million.

Capital expenditures are made primarily for investments in information systems and technology, machinery, equipment and the purchase and expansion of facilities. Our capital

expenditures totaled ~~$51.9~~$72.9 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 compared to ~~$62.4~~$89.2 million in the corresponding period in 2022.

In September 2021, we entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense to increase domestic production capacity of pipette tips and enhance manufacturing automation and logistics. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we have obtained ~~$30.9~~$32.3 million of the $35.8 million of total funding to be received through the remainder of 2023, which will offset associated capital expenditures.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 ~~and 2022, respectively,~~ we incurred approximately ~~$7.1 million and $24.9~~$7.7 million of capital expenditures relating to this funding ~~agreement, respectively.~~agreement.

We continue to explore potential acquisitions. In connection with any acquisition, we may incur additional indebtedness. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023, $10.0 million of contingent consideration was paid relating to the PendoTECH acquisition of which $5.6 million is included in financing activities for the amount accrued at the acquisition date and $4.4 million is included in operating activities for the amount not accrued at the acquisition date on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Cash flows used in financing activities are primarily comprised of share repurchases. In accordance with our share repurchase program, we spent ~~$500.0~~$724.0 million and ~~$550.0~~$825.0 million on the repurchase of ~~344,382~~526,019 shares and ~~408,901~~629,380 shares, during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was enacted on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes provisions imposing a 1% excise tax on net share repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022 and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) on adjusted financial statement income. We expect the financial impact of the IRA to be immaterial to our financial statements.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2023, approximately ~~$569.3~~$545.2 million of additional borrowings was available under our Credit Agreement, and we maintained ~~$83.6~~$69.7 million of cash and cash equivalents.

~~- 30 -~~

~~Table of Contents~~

In May 2023 we amended our Credit Agreement to replace all references of LIBOR to SOFR and other non-U.S. dollar references as the interest rate benchmark.

Changes in exchange rates between the currencies in which we generate cash flows and the currencies in which our borrowings are denominated affect our liquidity. In addition, because we borrow in a variety of currencies, our debt balances fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. Further, we do not have any downgrade triggers relating to ratings from rating agencies that would accelerate the maturity dates of our debt. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023.

In December 2022, we entered into an agreement to issue and sell $150 million 10-year Senior Notes in a private placement. We issued $150 million with a fixed interest rate of 5.45% (5.45% Senior Notes) in March 2023. The 5.45% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The 5.45% Senior Notes mature onin March 1, 2033. The terms of the 5.45% Senior Notes are consistent with the previous Senior Notes as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. We used the proceeds from the sale of the 5.45% Senior Notes to refinance existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

In December 2021, we entered into an agreement to issue and sell $300 million 15-year Senior Notes in a private placement. We issued $150 million with a fixed interest rate of 2.81% (2.81% Senior Notes) in March 2022, which will mature in March 2037, and an additional $150 million with a fixed interest rate of 2.91% (2.91% Senior Notes) in September 2022, which will mature in September 2037. We will use the proceeds from the sale of the notes to refinance existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

Other Local Arrangements

In April 2018, two of our non-U.S. pension plans issued loans totaling $39.6 million (Swiss franc 38 million) to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The loans have the same terms and conditions which include an interest rate of SARON plus 87.5 basis points. The loans were renewed for one year in April 2023.

Share Repurchase Program

We have ~~$3.0~~$2.7 billion of remaining availability for our share repurchase program as of ~~June~~September 30, 2023. The share repurchases are expected to be funded from cash generated from operating activities, borrowings, and cash balances. Repurchases will be made through open market transactions, and the amount and timing of purchases will depend on business and market conditions, the stock price, trading restrictions, the level of acquisition activity, and other factors.

We have purchased ~~31.4~~31.5 million shares since the inception of the program in 2004 through ~~June~~September 30, 2023. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, we spent ~~$500.0~~$724.0 million and ~~$550.0~~$825.0 million on the repurchase of ~~344,382~~526,019 and ~~408,901~~629,380 shares at an average price per share of ~~$1,464.00~~$1,388.54 and ~~$1,345.05,~~$1,310.79, respectively. We also reissued ~~70,191~~70,812 shares and ~~72,408~~80,466 shares held in treasury upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Effect of Currency on Results of Operations

- 32 -

Our earnings are affected by changes in exchange rates. We are most sensitive to changes in the exchange rates between the Swiss franc, euro, Chinese renminbi, and U.S. dollar. We have more Swiss franc expenses than we do Swiss franc sales because we develop and manufacture products in Switzerland that we sell globally, and have a number of corporate functions located in Switzerland. When the Swiss franc strengthens against our other trading currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar and euro, our earnings decrease. We also have significantly more sales in the euro than we do ~~expenses.~~expenses. When the euro weakens against the U.S. dollar and Swiss franc, our earnings also decrease. We estimate a 1% strengthening of the Swiss franc against the euro would reduce our earnings before tax by approximately ~~$1.9~~$2.0 million to ~~$2.1~~$2.3 million annually.

~~- 31 -~~

We also conduct bu~~siness~~business in many geographies throughout the world, including Asia Pacific, the United Kingdom, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Canada. Fluctuations in these currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar can also affect our operating results. The most significant of these currency exposures is the Chinese renminbi. The impact on our earnings before tax of the Chinese renminbi weakening 1% against the U.S. dollar is a reduction of approximately ~~$3.8~~$3.3 million to ~~$4.3~~$3.6 million annually.

In addition to the effects of exchange rate movements on operating profits, our debt levels can fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates, particularly between the U.S. dollar, the Swiss franc and the euro. Based on our outstanding debt at ~~June~~September 30, 2023, we estimate that a 5% weakening of the U.S. dollar against the currencies in which our debt is denominated would result in an increase of approximately ~~$35.5~~$34.1 million in the reported U.S. dollar value of our debt.
