Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, we believe 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 audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 and the footnotes (“Notes”) thereto included within our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to fairly present our financial position as of ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, our results of operations for the three ~~and six~~ month periods ended ~~June 26,~~April 2, 2021 and March 27, 2020, ~~and June 28, 2019,~~ and cash flows for the ~~six~~three month periods ended ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 and ~~June 28, 2019.~~

Beginning January 1, 2020, our Hengstler and Dynapar businesses are reported within our Professional Instrumentation segment. Previously, these businesses were reported within our Industrial Technologies segment.March 27, 2020. Reclassification of certain prior year amounts have been made to conform to current year presentation.

Vontier Separation and Discontinued Operations

On October 9, 2020 (the “Distribution Date”), the Company completed the separation of its Industrial Technologies segment by distributing 80.1% of the outstanding shares of Vontier Corporation (“Vontier”), the entity incorporated to hold such businesses, to Fortive stockholders (the “Vontier Separation”) on a pro rata basis. To effect the Vontier Separation, the Company distributed to its stockholders two shares of Vontier common stock for every five shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding held on September 25, 2020, the record date for the distribution, with the Company retaining 19.9% of the shares of Vontier common stock immediately following the Vontier Separation (the “Retained Vontier Shares”).

On September ~~4, 2019, we announced our intention~~29, 2020, Vontier entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and on the Distribution Date, Vontier drew down the full $1.8 billion available under their term loan facilities. Vontier used the proceeds to ~~separate into two independent, publicly traded companies, subject~~make payments to the ~~satisfaction~~Company, with $1.6 billion used as part of the consideration for the contribution of certain ~~conditions. The separation will create (i)~~assets and liabilities to Vontier by the Company in connection with the Vontier Separation and $202 million used as an ~~industrial technology company, retaining~~adjustment for excess cash balances remaining with Vontier (collectively, the ~~Fortive name, with a differentiated portfolio~~“Cash Consideration”). We have used the Cash Consideration to repay certain outstanding indebtedness, make interest payments on certain debt instruments, and to pay certain of growth-oriented businesses focused on connected workflow solutions that incorporate advanced sensors, instrumentation, software, data, and analytics, and (ii) a global industrial company (“Vontier”the Company’s regular, quarterly cash dividends.

On January 19, 2021, we completed an exchange (the “Debt-for-Equity Exchange”) ~~consisting~~of 33.5 million shares of common stock of Vontier, representing all of the Retained Vontier Shares, for $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness of the Company held by Goldman Sachs & Co.

Refer to Note 11 of our ~~Transportation Technologies~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and ~~Franchise Distribution platforms with a focus on growth opportunities in~~Note 6 to the ~~rapidly evolving transportation and mobility markets. The proposed separation is expected to be structured in a tax-efficient manner. The timing and structure~~consolidated condensed financial statements for the description of the ~~separation will depend, in part, on~~debt repayments made subsequent to the ~~state~~Distribution Date. Interest expense and extinguishment costs related to the debt retired during the first quarter of the capital market environment over time as affected by the future evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy. All assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of the businesses comprising Vontier2021 are included in continuing operations.

The accounting requirements for reporting the Vontier business as a discontinued operation were met when the Vontier Separation was completed. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the Vontier business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Fortive did not retain a controlling interest in Vontier and therefore the Retained Vontier Shares were included in our assets of continuing operations as of December 31, 2020 and subsequent fair value changes in the ~~accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.~~Retained Vontier Shares prior to the Debt-for-Equity Exchange are included in our results from continuing operations for the three month period ended April 2, 2021.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)—

Foreign currency translation adjustments are generally not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. We designated our ¥13.8 billion senior unsecured term facility loan and our Euro-denominated commercial paper outstanding during the ~~six months~~three month period ended ~~June 26,~~March 27, 2020 as net investment hedges of our investment in certain foreign operations; ~~as of June 26, 2020,~~ we exited our Euro-denominated commercial paper ~~positions. Accordingly,~~positions during the second quarter of 2020 and repaid our ¥13.8 billion senior unsecured term facility loan during the fourth quarter of 2020. As of April 2, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had no designated net investment hedges.

During the three month period ended March 27, 2020, we recognized foreign currency transaction gains ~~or losses~~of $0.9 million on the debt ~~are~~that were deferred in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on our investments in foreign subsidiaries. We recognized gains of $3.1 million and $4.0 million for the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2020, respectively, in other comprehensive income related to the net investment hedges. We recognized losses of $7.1 million and gains of $0.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2019, respectively, in other comprehensive income related to the net investment hedges. Any amounts deferred in AOCI will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated. We recorded no ineffectiveness from our net investment hedges during the three ~~and six~~ month ~~periods~~period ended ~~June 26, 2020 and June 28, 2019.~~March 27, 2020.

~~Recently Adopted Accounting Standard—In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,~~ ~~Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~ (“ASU 2016-13”), which amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including financing, trade accounts, and unbilled receivables. On January 1, 2020, we adopted ~~ASU 2016-13~~ ~~and recognized in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2020 an increase in the allowance~~Allowances for ~~trade accounts, unbilled, and financing receivables of $40.0 million, with a corresponding net of tax adjustment to beginning retained earnings of $31.3 million.~~

Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2020 reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-13, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historical accounting practices.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020, we recognized an allowance for incurred losses when they were probable based on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including delinquency.After the adoption of ASU 2016-13, we measure our allowance to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining contractual life of the asset. We pool assets with similar risk characteristics for this measurement based on attributes that may include asset type, duration, and/or credit risk rating. The future expected losses of each pool are estimated based on numerous quantitative and qualitative factors reflecting management’s estimate of collectibility over the remaining contractual life of the pooled assets, including:

•~~duration;~~

•~~historical, current, and forecasted future loss experience by asset type;~~

•~~historical, current, and forecasted delinquency and write-off trends;~~

•~~historical, current, and forecasted economic conditions; and~~

•~~historical, current, and forecasted credit risk.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

Expected credit losses of the assets originated during the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2020, as well as changes to expected losses during the same periods, are recognized in earnings for the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2020.

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-13, we have updated our significant accounting policy related to unbilled, trade accounts, and financing receivables and allowances for credit losses from what was previously disclosed in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 as follows:

Doubtful Accounts

All trade accounts ~~financing,~~ and unbilled receivables are reported in the ~~accompanying~~ Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet adjusted for any write-offs and net of allowances for credit losses. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our unbilled and trade accounts ~~and financing~~ receivable portfolios over the life of the underlying assets. Determination of the allowances requires management to exercise judgment about the severity of credit losses, which includes judgments regarding the risk profile of each underlying receivable and expectations regarding the impact of current and future economic conditions on the creditworthiness of its customers. We regularly perform detailed reviews of our portfolios to evaluate the collectability of receivables based on a combination of past, current, and future financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay, including customers’ financial condition, collateral, debt-servicing ability, payment experience, credit bureau information, and economic conditions. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. Additions to the allowances are charged to current period earnings, amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against the allowances, while amounts recovered on previously written-off accounts increase the allowances.

Recent deterioration in overall global economic conditions and worldwide capital markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact our customers’ ability to pay and, as a result, may increase the difficulty in collecting trade accounts, financing, and unbilled receivables. We did not realize notable increases in loss rates and delinquencies during the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2020, and given the nature of our portfolio of receivables, our historical experience during times of challenging economic conditions, and our forecasted future impact of COVID-19 on our customer’s ability to pay, we did not record material provisions for credit losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic during the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2020. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate beyond our current estimates, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, we would be required to write-off additional receivable balances, which would adversely impact our net earnings and financial condition.

The following is a rollforward of the aggregated allowance for credit losses related to our trade accounts ~~unbilled, and financing~~ receivables as of ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 ($ in millions):


Balance, December 31, ~~2019~~2020	$	~~82.1~~42.5
~~Transition Adjustment~~	~~40.0~~
Provision	~~30.3~~1.6
Write-offs	~~(26.7)~~(3.7)
FX and Other	~~(0.6)~~(0.2)
Balance, ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021	$	~~125.1~~40.2

The allowance for unbilled receivables was immaterial for all periods presented.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which amends the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. We may adopt this standard using either a modified retrospective or a fully retrospective method of transition. This standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2022, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements and the method of adoption we plan to utilize.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

For a description of our material acquisition activity refer to Note 3 of our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We continually evaluate potential mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures that align with our strategy and expedite the evolution of our portfolio of businesses into new and attractive areas. We have completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as purchases and resulted in the recognition of goodwill in our financial statements. This goodwill arises because the purchase price for each acquired business reflects a number of factors including the complimentary fit, acceleration of our strategy and synergies the business brings with respect to our existing operations, the future earnings and cash flow potential of the business, the potential to add other strategically complimentary acquisitions to the acquired business, the scarce or unique nature of the business in its markets, competition to acquire the business, the valuation of similar businesses in the marketplace (as reflected in a multiple of revenues, earnings, or cash flows), and the avoidance of the time and costs which would be required (and the associated risks that would be encountered) to enhance our existing offerings to key target markets and develop new and profitable businesses.

~~Table of Contents~~

We make an initial allocation of the purchase price at the date of acquisition based on our understanding of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. We obtain this information during due diligence and through other sources. In the months after closing, as we obtain additional information about these assets and liabilities, including through tangible and intangible asset appraisals, and learn more about the newly acquired business, we are able to refine the estimates of fair value and more accurately allocate the purchase price. Only items identified as of the acquisition date are considered for subsequent adjustment. We are in the process of obtaining valuations of certain acquired assets and evaluating the tax impact of certain acquisitions. We make appropriate adjustments to purchase price allocations prior to completion of the applicable measurement period, as required.

During the ~~six~~three month period ended ~~June 26, 2020, we~~April 2, 2021, immaterial adjustments were recorded ~~adjustments~~ to the preliminary purchase price allocation of acquisitions that closed during ~~2019 that resulted in a net increase to goodwill of $22.7 million, prior~~ ~~to foreign currency translation impacts.~~2020.

Advanced Sterilization Products

On April 1, 2019 (the “Principal Closing Date”), we acquired the advanced sterilization products business (“ASP”) of Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation (“Johnson & Johnson”) for an aggregate purchase price of $2.7 billion (the ~~“Transaction”~~

Table of Contents

“Transaction”), subject to certain post-closing adjustments set forth in a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated effective as of June 6, 2018 (the “Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and Ethicon, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Ethicon”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. ASP engages in the research, development, manufacture, marketing, distribution, and sale of low-temperature terminal sterilization and high-level disinfection products.

On the Principal Closing Date, we paid $2.7 billion in cash and obtained the transferred assets and assumed liabilities in 20 countries (“Principal Countries”), general patent and trademark assignments, and all transferred equity interests in ASP. ASP has operations in an additional 39 countries (“Non-Principal Countries”). The transferred assets and liabilities associated with these operations will close when requirements of country-specific agreements or regulatory approvals are satisfied.

The $2.7 billion purchase price was paid in exchange for ASP’s businesses in both Principal and Non-Principal Countries. As of ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 we have closed 20 Principal Countries and 837 Non-Principal Countries that, in aggregate, accounted for approximately 99% of the preliminary valuation of ASP. The remaining 2 Non-Principal Countries represent ~~approximately~~ less than 1% of the preliminary valuation of ASP, or ~~$30.6~~$2.7 million,, which is included as a prepaid asset in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As each Non-Principal Country closes, we reduce the prepaid asset and record the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. All of the provisional goodwill associated with the Transaction is included in goodwill at ~~June 26, 2020,~~April 2, 2021, and the majority of the provisional goodwill is tax deductible. There were no material measurement period adjustments recorded for the Non-Principal Countries during the three month period ended April 2, 2021.

In addition, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with Johnson & Johnson for certain administrative and operational services (“TSA”), and distribution agreements in the Non-Principal Countries. Under the distribution agreements, ASP sells finished goods to Ethicon at prices agreed by the parties. ASP recognizes these sales as revenue when the conditions for revenue recognition are met. Following the sale of finished goods by ASP, Ethicon obtains title of the finished goods, has full authority to sell and market the finished goods to end customers as it sees fit, and retains any revenue and profit from sale. As of April 2, 2021, ASP had exited the ~~TSA in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia,~~TSAs and ~~New Zealand in prior periods and exited the TSA in EMEA during the three month period ended June 26, 2020.~~

In connection with management’s updated forecastdiscontinued operation for the Telematics reporting unit that indicated a decline in sales and operating profit to levels lower than previously forecasted, due in large part to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment over the Telematics reporting unit on March 27, 2020.all periods presented.

We estimated the fair value of the Telematics reporting unit by considering an income approach, using the discounted cash flow method. The income approach was based on projected future (debt-free) cash flows that were discounted to present value and assumed a terminal growth value. The discount rate was based on the reporting unit’s weighted average cost of capital, taking into account market participant assumptions. Management’s revenue and profitability forecasts used in the valuation considered recent and historical performance of the reporting unit, strategic initiatives, industry trends, and the current and future expectations of the macroeconomic environment. Assumptions used in the valuation were similar to those that would be used by market participants performing independent valuations of this reporting unit.

~~Key assumptions developed by management and used in the quantitative analysis included the following:~~

~~Table of Contents~~

•~~Near-term revenue declines in 2020 with later-term improvements over the projection period;~~

•~~Improved profitability over the projection period, trending consistent with revenues; and~~

•~~Market-based discount rates.~~

~~We did not consider the market approach in our fair value calculation given the near term uncertainty in the market data and forecasts of the guideline companies upon which the approach relies.~~Vontier Impairment Charge

As a result of the interim impairment testing performed, we concluded that the estimated fair value of ~~our~~the Telematics reporting unit was less than ~~our~~its carrying value as of March 27, 2020, and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $85.3 million during the three ~~months~~month period ended March 27, 2020. The Telematics reporting unit was included in our former Industrial Technologies segment and part of the Vontier Separation. Accordingly, the impairment charge is recorded in Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

The key components of income from discontinued operations for the three month periods ended April 2, 2021 and March 27, 2020 ~~to reduce~~were as follows ($ in millions):

We have not identified any triggering events which would have indicated a potential impairment of goodwill in the ~~operating results of our Industrial Technologies segment.~~

The impairment testing of goodwill utilized significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) to determine the estimated fair value. The factors used in our impairment analysis are inherently subject to uncertainty, particularly in light of the recent deterioration in overall global economic conditions and capital markets due to COVID-19. While we believe we made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of the Telematics reporting unit, alternative interpretations of the qualitative inputs considered may have resulted in different conclusions regarding the size of the impairment, and it is possible our conclusions could change in future periods. There can be no assurance the estimates and assumptions used in our goodwill impairment testing performed in the first quarter of 2020 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Specifically, variations in our assumptions related to business performance and execution of planned growth strategies and the discount rate could impact future conclusions. A future impairment charge for goodwill could have a material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

~~Impairment Testing~~

~~During the second quarter~~three month period ended June 26, 2020, we evaluated the impact of the deterioration in overall global economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the change in our market capitalization and changes in forecasts for the Telematics reporting unit, and determined no triggering events had occurred.

The results of our 2019 impairment testing indicated our eleven other reporting units had fair values that were significantly in excess of their carrying values. We evaluated the impact of the deterioration in overall global economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the change in our market capitalization and changes in forecasts for each reporting unit, and determined no triggering events had occurred.April 2, 2021.

NOTE 4.5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value where our 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) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other observable characteristics for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation.

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our assumptions. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

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

On October 9, 2020, we completed the Vontier Separation and retained 19.9% of the shares of Vontier common stock immediately following the Vontier Separation. We did not retain a controlling interest in Vontier and therefore the fair value of our Retained Vontier Shares were included in our assets of continuing operations as of December 31, 2020, and subsequent fair value changes are included in our results from continuing operations for the three month period ended April 2, 2021.

On January 19, 2021, we completed the Debt-for-Equity Exchange of 33.5 million shares of common stock of Vontier, representing all of the Retained Vontier Shares, for $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness of the Company held by Goldman Sachs & Co., including (i) all $400.0 million of the 364-day delayed draw term loan due March 22, 2021 (the “Term Loan due March 2021”) and (ii) $683.2 million of the delayed-draw term loan due May 30, 2021 (the “Term Loan due May 2021”). The change in fair value of the Retained Vontier Shares and the resulting gain of $57.0 million was recorded in the three month period ended April 2, 2021. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of the debt included in the Debt-for-Equity Exchange of $94.4 million in the three month period ended April 2, 2021.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain non-financial assets, primarily property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at their carrying value. However, these assets are required to be assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

~~On March 27, 2020, we~~We evaluated our Telematics reporting unit for impairment and recorded an impairment of goodwill of $85.3 million to adjust the carrying value of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value. Refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding the inputs and methodology used to estimate the fair value. During the second quarter ended June 26, 2020, we evaluated the impact of the deterioration in overall global economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the change in our market capitalization and changes in forecasts for the Telematics reporting unit, and determined no triggering events had occurred. In addition, we evaluated our other long-lived non-financial assets as of ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 and determined no ~~triggering~~ events ~~were identified.~~or circumstances existed indicating the carrying value may not be fully recoverable.

As of ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, net of current maturities were categorized as Level 1.

The fair values of the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt were based on quoted market prices. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amounts of long-term borrowings may be attributable to changes in market interest rates

In prior periods, we generally satisfied any short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flows and available cash through issuances of commercial paper under our U.S. dollar and Euro-denominated commercial paper programs (“Commercial Paper Programs”). Due to recent volatility and disruption in the commercial paper market, we have temporarily reduced our reliance on this source of funding, and consequently paid down and refinanced our outstanding commercial paper with a 364-day delayed-draw term loan, as detailed in the 2021 Term Loan section below. Credit support for the Commercial Paper Programs is provided by a ~~five~~-year $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on November 30, 2023 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which, to the extent not otherwise providing credit support for the commercial paper programs, can also be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of June 26, 2020, 0 borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.Debt-for-Equity Exchange

On ~~April 24, 2020,~~January 19, 2021, we ~~amended (the “Amendments”)~~completed the ~~credit agreement~~Debt-for-Equity Exchange of 33.5 million shares of common stock of Vontier, representing all of the Retained Vontier Shares, for each of our (i) $500 million delayed draw term loan facility, with $250 million in principal amount outstanding as of June 26, 2020 (“2020 Term Loan”), (ii) $1.0 billion delayed draw term loan facility, with $1.0$1.1 billion in principal amount outstanding as of June 26, 2020 (the “2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan”), (iii) $750 million delayed draw term loan facility, with $750 million in principal amount outstanding as of June 26, 2020 (“2021 Term Loan”), and (iv) $2.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility, with 0 borrowings thereunder as of June 26, 2020 as follows:

•For any four fiscal quarters ending in the periods noted below (each an “Adjusted Four Quarters”) that end prior to the maturity date of the applicable facility, the maximum permitted consolidated net leverage ratio of consolidated net funded indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA was increased from 3.50 to 1.00 to, (i) with respect to the four fiscal quarters ending June 26, 2020, September 25, 2020, December 31, 2020, or April 2, 2021, 4.75 to 1.00, (ii) with respect to the four fiscal quarters ending July 2, 2021, 4.5 to 1.0, (iii) with respect to the four fiscal quarters ending October 1, 2021, 4.25 to 1.0 and (iv) with respect to the four fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2021, 3.75 to 1.0; provided however, that for any four fiscal quarters that are not an Adjusted Four Quarters, the maximum permitted consolidated net leverage ratio remains at 3.5 to 1.0, as may be increased to 4.0 to 1.0 following a material acquisition (the “Unadjusted Maximum Ratio”).

Convertible Senior Notes

On February 22, 2019, we issued $1.4 billion in aggregate principal amount of our 0.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Convertible Notes”), including $187.5 million in aggregate principal amount resulting from an exercise in full of an over-allotment option. The Convertible Notes were issued in a private placement to certain initial purchasers for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.875% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2019. The Convertible Notes mature on February 15, 2022, unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

~~The~~As a result of the Vontier Separation and in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the Convertible Notes, effective October 9, 2020, the Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an ~~initial~~adjusted conversion rate of ~~9.3777~~10.9568 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of ~~$106.64~~$91.27 per share), subject to future adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

Of the $1.4 billion in principal amount from the issuance of the Convertible Notes, $1.3 billion was classified as debt and $102.2 million was classified as equity, using an assumed effective interest rate of 3.38%. Debt issuance costs of $24.3 million were proportionately allocated to debt and equity. On February 9, 2021, we repurchased $281 million of the Convertible Notes at fair value using the remaining cash proceeds received from Vontier in the Vontier Separation and other cash on hand. In connection with the repurchase, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment during the three month period ended April 2, 2021

of $10.5 million. In addition, upon repurchase we recorded $11.6 million as a reduction to additional paid-in capital related to the equity component of the repurchased Convertible Notes.

We recognized ~~$13.6~~$12.2 million in interest expense during the three month period ended April 2, 2021, of which $2.8 million was related to the contractual coupon rate of 0.875%, $1.7 million was attributable to the amortization of debt issuance costs and $7.7 million was attributable to the amortization of the discount.

As of ~~$300 million. On October 25, 2019, we drew down the full $300 million available~~April 2, 2021, 0 borrowings were outstanding under the 2020 Term Loan in order to fund, in part, the Censis acquisition. We subsequently increased the size of this facility by $200 million on November 8, 2019 and drew the additional amount on the same day resulting in an outstanding amount of $500 million. The 2020 Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin currently at 75 basis points. As of June 26, 2020, borrowings under this facility bore an interest rate of 1.00% per annum. The 2020 Term Loan is due on October 23, 2020 and prepayable at our option. We are not permitted to re-borrow once the term loan is repaid. The terms and conditions, including covenants, applicable to the 2020 Term Loan are substantially similar to those applicable to our Revolving Credit Facility.

~~On February 26, 2020, we prepaid $250 million of the 2020 Term Loan. The prepayment fees associated with this payment were immaterial.~~

~~2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan~~

On March 1, 2019, we entered into a credit facility agreement that provides for the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. On March 20, 2019, we drew down the full $1.0 billion available under the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan in order to fund, in part, the ASP acquisition. The 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a ratings based margin, prior to the Amendments, at 75 basis points and, following the Amendments, at 155 basis points. As of June 26, 2020, borrowings under this facility bore an interest rate of 1.80% per annum. The 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan is prepayable at our option, and we are not permitted to re-borrow once the term loan is repaid. The terms and conditions, including covenants, applicable to the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan are substantially similar to those applicable to our Revolving Credit Facility.

On February 25, 2020, we extended the maturity of the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan to August 28, 2020. Additionally, on April 24, 2020 we further extended the maturity to May 30, 2021. We were in compliance with our covenants both before and after the extension. The 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan is not callable and remains prepayable at our option.

~~2021 Term Loan~~

On March 23, 2020, we entered into a credit facility agreement that provides for the 2021 Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $425 million. On the same day, we drew down $375 million available under the 2021 Term Loan. We subsequently increased the size of this facility by $325 million on April 3, 2020, and drew the additional $375 million in April 2020, resulting in an outstanding amount of $750 million. We paid approximately $2.0 million in debt issuance costs associated with the 2021 Term Loan. The borrowings from this credit facility were used for settlement of outstanding commercial paper. The 2021 Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin currently at 155 basis points. As of June 26, 2020, borrowings under this facility bore an interest rate of 1.80% per annum. The 2021 Term Loan is due on March 19, 2021 and prepayable at our option. We are not permitted to re-borrow once the term loan is repaid. The terms and conditions, including covenants, applicable to the 2021 Term Loan, are substantially similar to those applicable to our Revolving Credit Facility.

Classification of Debt Due within the Next Twelve Months

We classified our borrowings outstanding under the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan and the 2021 Term Loan as long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 26, 2020, as we have the intent and ability, as supported by availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, to refinance these borrowings for at least one year from the balance sheet date. Our intent with respect to the refinancing of these outstanding borrowings may change once the proposed separation of Vontier is effectuated, in which case these loans may be repaid using the cash flows received from the separation.

~~Our 2020 Term Loan and 2.35%~~Convertible Senior ~~unsecured notes due 2021~~Notes are recorded in the Current portion of long-term debt line item in ~~our~~the Consolidated Condensed Balance ~~Sheet.~~Sheet as of April 2, 2021.

NOTE 6.7. SALES

We derive revenues primarily from the sale of ~~Professional Instrumentation and Industrial Technologies~~ products, ~~and~~ software, and services. Revenue is recognized when control of promised products, ~~and~~ software, or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products, ~~and~~ software, or services.

Sales of products and software includes revenues from the sale of products and equipment, software product offerings, and equipment rentals.

Sales of services includes revenues from extended warranties, post-contract customer support (“PCS”), maintenance contracts or services, contract labor to perform ongoing service at a customer location, and services related to previously sold products.

Contract Assets — In certain circumstances, we record contract assets which include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not only subject to the passage of time. Contract assets were ~~$73~~$67 million as of ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 and ~~$79~~$56 million as of December 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Contract Costs — We incur direct incremental costs to obtain certain contracts, typically sales-related commissions and costs associated with assets used by our customers in certain software arrangements. Deferred sales-related commissions are generally not capitalized as the amortization period is one year or less, and we elected to use the practical expedient to expense these sales commissions as incurred. As of ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had ~~$114~~$29 million and ~~$147~~$31 million,

~~Table of Contents~~

respectively, in net revenue-related contract assets primarily related to certain software contracts. Revenue-related contract assets are recorded in the Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets line items in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets have estimated useful lives between 3 and 8 years.

Impairment losses recognized on our revenue-related contract assets were immaterial during the three ~~and six~~ month periods ended ~~June 26,~~April 2, 2021 and March 27, 2020.

Contract Liabilities — Our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue generally related to PCS and extended warranty sales, where in most cases we receive up-front payment and recognize revenue over the support term. We classify deferred revenue as

Table of Contents

current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The noncurrent portion of deferred revenue is included in Other long-term liabilities in the ~~accompanying~~ Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

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


		June 26, 2020		December 31, 2019			April 2, 2021		December 31, 2020
Deferred revenue - current	Deferred revenue - current	$	439.2	$	410.1	Deferred revenue - current	$	397.8	$	376.4
Deferred revenue - noncurrent	Deferred revenue - noncurrent	91.9		99.2		Deferred revenue - noncurrent	32.3		34.2
Total contract liabilities	Total contract liabilities	$	531.1	$	509.3	Total contract liabilities	$	430.1	$	410.6

During the three ~~and six~~ month ~~periods~~period ended ~~June 26, 2020,~~April 2, 2021, we recognized revenue related to our contract liabilities at December 31, ~~2019~~2020 of ~~$83 million and $209 million, respectively.~~$123 million. The change in our contract liabilities from December 31, ~~2019~~2020 to ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 was primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and sales of PCS and extended warranty services.

Remaining Performance Obligations — Our remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm, noncancelable orders, with expected delivery dates to customers greater than one year from ~~June 26, 2020,~~April 2, 2021, for which work has not been performed. We have excluded performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less from the amounts below.

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


	~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021
~~Professional Instrumentation~~Intelligent Operating Solutions	$	~~144.6~~105.2
~~Industrial~~Precision Technologies	~~382.3~~25.4
Advanced Healthcare Solutions	1.2
Total remaining performance obligations	$	~~526.9~~131.8

The majority of remaining performance obligations are related to service and support contracts, which we expect to fulfill approximately 4055 percent within the next two years, approximately 7085 percent within the next three years, and substantially all within four years.

NOTE 7.8. PENSION PLANS

For a full description of our noncontributory defined benefit pension plans refer to Note 12 of our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following sets forth the components of our net periodic costs associated with our noncontributory defined benefit pension plans ($ in millions):


		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended					Three Months Ended

Net periodic pension cost	Net periodic pension cost	$	1.8	$	1.3	$	3.7	$	2.4	Net periodic pension cost	$	1.8	$	1.9

We report all components of net periodic pension costs, with the exception of service costs, in other non-operating expenses as a component of non-operating income in the ~~accompanying~~ Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Service costs are reported in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the ~~accompanying~~ Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings according to the classification of the participant’s compensation.

Employer Contributions

During ~~2020,~~2021, our cash contribution requirements for our non-U.S. and U.S. defined benefit plans for Fortive’s pension plans are expected to be approximately ~~$10.6~~$12 million and ~~$0.8~~$1 million, respectively. The actual amounts to be contributed depend upon, among other things, legal requirements, underlying asset returns, the plan’s funded status, the anticipated tax deductibility of the contribution, local practices, market conditions, interest rates, and other factors. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain countries have enacted or proposed legislation to enable employers to defer minimum contributions to qualified defined benefit plans during all or part of 2020. We are actively assessing the available reliefs and will continue to monitor and utilize relevant legislative reliefs as we deem prudent. This may reduce our cash contribution requirements under our defined benefit plans in 2020.

NOTE 8.9. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates for the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2020 were 14.9% and 23.2%, respectively, as compared to 14.2% and 14.5% for the three and six month periods ended June 28, 2019, respectively. There were no significant differences in the year-over-year effective tax rate for the three month period ended ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 was 5.9% as compared to 24.2% for the three month period ended March 27, 2020. The year-over-year decrease in the effective tax rate for the three month period ended April 2, 2021 as compared to the three month period ended ~~June 28, 2019. The year-over-year increase in the effective tax rate for the six month period ended June 26,~~March 27, 2020 ~~compared to the six month period ended June 28, 2019~~ was due primarily to a ~~non-deductible goodwill impairment~~permanent difference on the gain on our Retained Vontier Shares due to the tax-free treatment of our disposition of the shares through the Debt-for-Equity Exchange and increases in certain federal tax benefits, as well as tax costs incurred during the three month period ended March 27, 2020 associated with ~~repatriating~~the repatriation of a portion of our previously reinvested earnings outside of the United States. For the six month period ended June 26, 2020, these factors were partially offset by favorable impacts of a higher mix of income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% and increases in favorable impacts of certain federal and international tax benefits.

Our effective tax rate for both periods in ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the positive and negative effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), U.S. federal permanent differences, and the impact of credits and deductions provided by ~~law, and current year earnings outside the United States that are indefinitely reinvested and taxed at rates lower than~~law. Specific to 2021, our effective tax rate also differs from the U.S. federal statutory ~~rate.~~rate of 21% due to a permanent difference on the gain on our Retained Vontier Shares due to the tax-free treatment of our disposition of the shares through the Debt-for-Equity Exchange. Specific to 2020, our effective tax rate also differs from the U.S. federal

~~Table of Contents~~

statutory rate of 21% due to ~~a non-deductible goodwill impairment and~~ the ~~tax costs associated with repatriating~~repatriation of a portion of our previously reinvested earnings outside of the United States.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The CARES Act is an emergency economic stimulus package in response to the COVID-19 outbreak which, among other things, contains numerous income tax provisions. Some of these tax provisions are expected to be effective retroactively for years ending before the date of enactment. We anticipate the provisions of the CARES Act will impact income tax in 2020; however, we have not identified material impacts to the tax provision as of June 26, 2020. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the CARES Act as new clarifying guidance is issued throughout 2020.

NOTE 9.10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Our stock-based compensation program (the “Stock Plan”) provides for the grant of stock appreciation rights, performance stock units, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and performance stock awards (collectively, “Stock Awards”), stock options, or any other stock-based award. As of ~~June 26, 2020,~~April 2, 2021, approximately 17 19 million shares of our common stock were available for subsequent issuance under the Stock Plan. For a full description of our stock-based compensation program refer to Note 17 of our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

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

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

NOTE ~~10.~~11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

For a description of our litigation and contingencies and additional information about our leases, refer to Note 16 and Note 10, respectively, in our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Warranty

We generally accrue estimated warranty costs at the time of sale. In general, manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Warranty period terms depend on the nature of the product and range from 90 days up to the life of the product. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and, in certain instances, estimated property damage. The accrued warranty liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known.

The following is a rollforward of our accrued warranty liability ($ in millions):


Balance, December 31, ~~2019~~2020	$	~~79.0~~24.9
Accruals for warranties issued during the period	~~25.0~~5.3
Settlements made	~~(29.6)~~(3.7)

Leases

Operating lease cost was ~~$20~~$15 million and $16 million for ~~each of~~ the three month periods ended ~~June 26,~~April 2, 2021 and March 27, 2020, ~~and June 28, 2019, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 26, 2020 and June 28, 2019, operating lease cost was $41 million and $38 million,~~ respectively. During the ~~six-month~~three-month periods ended ~~June 26,~~April 2, 2021 and March 27, 2020, ~~and June 28, 2019,~~ cash paid for operating leases included in operating cash flows was ~~$36~~$16 million and ~~$32~~$14 million, respectively. Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations were ~~$27~~$9 million and ~~$44~~$7 million during the ~~six~~three month periods ended ~~June 26,~~April 2, 2021 and March 27, 2020, ~~and June 28, 2019,~~ respectively.

As of ~~June 26, 2020,~~April 2, 2021, we had entered into operating leases for which the lease had not yet commenced. These operating leases will commence in ~~2020~~2021 with lease terms between 1 and 153 years and have aggregate fixed payments of the non-cancelable lease terms of ~~$22~~$1 million.

NOTE ~~11.~~12. NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of shares under stock-based compensation plans under the treasury stock method, except where the inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive impact. There were ~~5.7~~0.1 million anti-dilutive options excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for the three month period ended ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 and ~~an insignificant amount~~5.7 million of anti-dilutive options excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for the three month period ended ~~June 28, 2019. There were 5.7 million and 1.7 million anti-dilutive options excluded for the six month periods ended June 26, 2020 and June 28, 2019, respectively.~~March 27, 2020.

As described in Note 5,6, upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, holders will receive cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, at our election. Our intention is to settle such conversions through cash up to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes and, if applicable, through shares of our common stock for conversion value, if any, in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes. We believe we have the ability to settle these obligations as intended, and therefore we have accounted for the conversion features under the treasury stock method in our calculation of EPS. Because the fair value of our common stock is below the conversion price, the Convertible Notes had no impact on our earnings per share for the three ~~and six~~ month periods ended ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 and ~~June 28, 2019.~~

The impact of our Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (“MCPS”) calculated under the if-converted method was anti-dilutive for ~~both~~ the three month period ended April 2, 2021, and ~~six month periods ended June 26, 2020, and 18.4~~20.0 million shares were excluded from the diluted EPS ~~calculation for each respective period.~~calculation.

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

Fortive Corporation (“Fortive,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a ~~diversified industrial technology growth company comprised~~provider of ~~Professional Instrumentation and Industrial Technologies segments and encompassing businesses that are recognized leaders in~~essential technologies for connected workflow solutions across a range of attractive ~~markets.~~end-markets. Our well-known brands hold leading positions in ~~field~~intelligent operating solutions, ~~product realization, sensing technologies, health, transportation~~precision technologies, and ~~franchise distribution.~~advanced healthcare solutions. Our businesses design, develop, service, manufacture, and market professional and engineered products, software, and services for a variety of end markets, building upon leading brand names, innovative ~~technology,~~technologies, and significant market positions. Our research and development, manufacturing, sales, distribution, service, and administrative facilities are located in more than 50 countries across North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Latin America.

On January 19, 2021, we completed an exchange (the “Debt-for-Equity Exchange”) of 33.5 million shares of Vontier common stock, representing all of the Retained Vontier Shares, for $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of indebtedness of the Company held by Goldman Sachs & Co.

The accounting requirements for reporting the Vontier business as a discontinued operation were met when the Vontier Separation was completed. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the Vontier business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Fortive did not retain a controlling interest in Vontier and therefore the Retained Vontier Shares were included in our assets of continuing operations as of December 31, 2020 and subsequent fair value changes in the Retained Vontier Shares prior to the Debt-for-Equity Exchange are included in our results from continuing operations for the three month period ended April 2, 2021.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the MD&A and consolidated ~~and combined~~ financial statements included in our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our MD&A is divided into five sections:

•Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

•Overview

•Results of Operations

•Liquidity and Capital Resources

•Critical Accounting Estimates

OVERVIEW

General

Fortive is a ~~diversified,~~ multinational ~~industrial technology growth~~business with global operations with approximately 47% of our sales derived from customers outside the United States in 2020. As a company with global operations, ~~and~~ our businesses are affected by worldwide, regional, and industry-specific economic and political factors. Our geographic and industry diversity, as well as the range of ~~our~~ products, software, and services we offer, typically help limit the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country (except for the United States) on our operating results. Given the broad range of products manufactured, software and services provided, and geographies served, we do not use any indices other than general economic trends to predict the overall outlook for the Company. Our individual businesses monitor key competitors and customers, including their sales, to the extent possible, ~~their sales,~~ to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future.

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

change in the markets we serve and to improve our manufacturing, research and development, and customer-facing resources in order to be responsive to our customers throughout the world.

Beginning January 1, 2020, our Hengstler and Dynapar businesses are reported within our Professional Instrumentation segment. Previously, these businesses were reported within our Industrial Technologies segment. Reclassification of certain prior year amounts have been made to conform to current year presentation.

On September 4, 2019, we announced our intention to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The separation will create (i) an industrial technology company, retaining the Fortive name, with a differentiated portfolio of growth-oriented businesses focused on connected workflow solutions that incorporate advanced sensors, instrumentation, software, data, and analytics, and (ii) a global industrial company (“Vontier”) consisting of our Transportation Technologies and Franchise Distribution platforms with a focus on growth opportunities in the rapidly evolving transportation and mobility markets. The proposed separation is expected to be structured in a tax-efficient manner. The timing and structure of the separation will depend, in part, on the state of the capital market environment over time as affected by the future evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy. All assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses of the businesses comprising Vontier are included in continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.ASP Acquisition

Vontier Separation

On October ~~1, 2018,~~9, 2020 (the “Distribution Date”), the Company completed the separation of its Industrial Technologies segment by distributing 80.1% of the outstanding shares of Vontier Corporation (“Vontier”), the entity incorporated to hold such businesses, to Fortive stockholders (the “Vontier Separation”) on a pro rata basis. To effect the Vontier Separation, the Company distributed to its stockholders two shares of Vontier common stock for every five shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding held on September 25, 2020, the record date for the distribution, with the Company retaining 19.9% of the shares of Vontier common stock immediately following the Vontier Separation (the “Retained Vontier Shares”).

On September 29, 2020, Vontier entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and on the Distribution Date, Vontier drew down the full $1.8 billion available under their term loan facilities. Vontier used the proceeds to make payments to the Company, with $1.6 billion used as part of the consideration for the contribution of certain assets and liabilities to Vontier by the Company in connection with the Vontier Separation and $202 million used as an adjustment for excess cash balances remaining with Vontier (collectively, the “Cash Consideration”). We have used the Cash Consideration to repay certain outstanding indebtedness, make interest payments on certain debt instruments, and to pay certain of the Company’s regular, quarterly cash dividends.

On January 19, 2021, we completed an exchange (the “Debt-for-Equity Exchange”) of 33.5 million shares of common stock of Vontier, representing all of the ~~split-off~~Retained Vontier Shares, for $1.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of ~~four~~indebtedness of the Company held by Goldman Sachs & Co.

Refer to Note 11 of our ~~operating companies (the “A&S Business”),~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and ~~have reported~~Note 6 to the ~~A&S Business~~consolidated condensed financial statements for the description of the debt repayments made subsequent to the Distribution Date. Interest expense and extinguishment costs related to the debt retired during the first quarter of 2021 is included in our results from continuing operations for the three month period ended April 2, 2021.

The accounting requirements for reporting the Vontier business as a discontinued operation were met when the Vontier Separation was completed. Accordingly, the consolidated condensed financial statements reflect the results of the Vontier business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Fortive did not retain a controlling interest in Vontier and therefore the Retained Vontier Shares were included in our assets of continuing operations as of December 31, 2020 and subsequent fair value changes in the Retained Vontier Shares prior to the Debt-for-Equity Exchange are included in our results from continuing operations for the three month period ended April 2, 2021.

In preparation for and executing the Vontier Separation, we incurred $26 million in Vontier stand-up and separation-related transaction costs during the three month period ended March 27, 2020, which were recorded in the Selling, general, and administrative expenses component of Earnings from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in ~~our~~the Consolidated Condensed Statements of ~~Earnings, Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets,~~Earnings. These stand-up and ~~Consolidated Condensed Statements~~separation-related costs primarily relate to professional fees associated with preparation of ~~Cash Flows~~regulatory filings and transaction execution and separation activities within finance, tax, legal, and information system functions.

In connection with the Vontier Separation, Fortive and Vontier entered into various agreements to effect the Vontier Separation and provide a framework for ~~all~~Vontier’s relationship with Fortive after the Vontier Separation, including a transition services agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement, a Fortive Business System (“FBS”) license agreement, and a stockholder’s and registration rights agreement (the “Agreements”). These Agreements govern the Vontier Separation between Fortive and Vontier of the assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including its investments, property and employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) of Fortive and its subsidiaries attributable to periods ~~presented. Discussion within this MD&A relates~~prior to, ~~continuing operations.~~at and after the Vontier Separation and also govern certain relationships between Fortive and Vontier after the Vontier Separation. The impact of these services on our consolidated condensed financial statements was immaterial.

Segment Presentation

In light of the Vontier Separation, we changed our internal reporting structure on the first day of the fourth quarter, September 26, 2020, to reflect organizational and leadership changes that allow us to better assess the operational performance of and allocate resources to our businesses. Our chief operating decision maker assesses performance and allocates resources based on our new operating segments, which are also our new reportable segments. Our new reportable segments are comprised of Intelligent Operating Solutions, Precision Technologies, and Advanced Healthcare Solutions. All prior period segment information has been restated to reflect our new reportable segments.

Non-GAAP Measures

In this report, references to sales from existing businesses refers to sales from operations calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) but excluding (1) the impact from acquired businesses and (2) the impact of currency translation. References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition and the effect of purchase accounting adjustments, less the amount of sales attributable to certain divested businesses or product lines not considered discontinued operations prior to the first anniversary of the divestiture. The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. Sales from existing businesses should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Management believes that reporting the non-GAAP financial measure of sales from existing businesses provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestiture related items because the nature, size, and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation from sales from existing businesses because the impact of currency translation is not under management’s control and is subject to volatility. Management believes the exclusion of the effect of acquisitions and divestitures and currency translation may facilitate the assessment of underlying business trends and may assist in comparisons of long-term performance. References to sales volume refer to the impact of both price and unit sales.

Business Performance and Outlook

A novel strain of coronavirus was ~~first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and subsequently~~ declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March of 2020 (“COVID-19”). This outbreak ~~has~~ surfaced in nearly all regions around the world in 2020, resulting in governments implementing ~~increasingly~~ strict measures to help contain or mitigate the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “shelter in place,” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions, school and commercial facility closures, re-opening restrictions, among others (collectively “virus control measures”). Further, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has issued Guidance documents for use by businesses and states defining “critical-infrastructure” industries that may continue to operate despite the virus control measures implemented. These virus control measures have led to slowdowns or shutdowns for businesses deemed both “essential” and “non-essential” in affected areas, ~~causing~~which caused significant disruption in the financial markets both globally and in the United ~~States.

On a year-over-year basis, our Professional Instrumentation segment reported a decline in sales from existing businesses of 14.4%, while sales from existing businesses in our Industrial Technologies segment declined 20.8% for the three month period ended June 26, 2020. For the six month period ended June 26, 2020, sales from existing businesses in our Professional Instrumentation segment reported a decline of 11.2%, while sales from existing businesses in our Industrial Technologies segment declined 10.3% for the same respective period. The decline in both segments for the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2020 reflects both direct and indirect declines in demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

~~Outlook~~

During the first half of 2020, the worldwide capital markets were volatile and overall global economic conditions deteriorated significantly as a result of COVID-19. In addition, the economic uncertainties that continue to exist as a resultdetrimental impacts of COVID-19 ~~suggest that year-over-year global demand for~~on our ~~products and services will likely continue to contract through the remainder of 2020.

In the third quarter of 2020, we anticipate a sequential improvement in sales for each significant geography from the salesresults.

The businesses we believe will becontinue being relatively more resilient include our businesses with a greater proportion of recurring revenue, including our software as a service (“SAAS”) businesses that provide critical workflow solutions to their customers, ~~our~~certain healthcare businesses, and those with longer business cycles with strong backlogs. We believe ~~that~~ our businesses that are more dependent on short-cycle industrial demand and production dynamics will continue sequentially recovering and experiencing ~~a challenging environment~~strong demand; however, our future results may be impacted by the length, severity, and recurrence of virus control measures and the continued availability of antiviral medications and distribution and administration of vaccinations. We will continue deploying the Fortive Business System to help drive near-term performance and execute against our longer-term strategic initiatives. As such, we expect year-over-year global demand for our products and services to increase between 20% and 23% in the ~~third~~second quarter of 2021, reflecting both the continued momentum of our portfolio and the detrimental impacts of COVID-19 on our second quarter of 2020 results.

Despite the virus control measures in place in geographies critical to our supply chain, we have successfully implemented solutions to support our operations and have not experienced significant production material shortages, supply chain constraints, or distribution limitations impacting our operations as of the date of this Report; however, in light of theCOVID-19 created uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic severity and duration, we are continuing to evaluate and monitor the condition of our supply chain, including the financial health of our suppliers and their ability to access raw materials and other key inputs and may experience shortages, constraints, or disruptions during the remainder of 2020.

To mitigate the impact of the recessionary economic conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic as well as any escalation of geopolitical uncertainties related to governmental policies toward international trade, monetary and fiscal policies, and relations between the U.S. and China, we will continue applying and deploying the Fortive Business System to actively manage our supply chain and drive operating efficiencies, and continue to collaborate with our customers and suppliers to minimize disruption to their businesses. Additionally, we will continue actively managing our working capital with a focus on maximizing cash flows and cost efficiency and assessing market conditions and taking actions as we deem necessary to appropriately position our businesses in light of the economic environment and geopolitical uncertainties.

~~Although recent distress~~ in the financial markets ~~has not had a significant impact on our financial position, liquidity, and ability to meet our debt covenants~~in 2020, but as of the filing date of this Report, we have not experienced a significant impact on our financial position and liquidity. We continue to monitor the financial markets and general global economic ~~conditions. Further, we utilized certain provisions of The Coronavirus Aid, Relief,~~conditions and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) enacted by the U.S. Government to provide additional short-term liquidity, including deferral of estimated Federal income tax payments into the third quarter and relief from employer payroll tax remittance, and expect to continue utilizing these benefits throughout 2020. We are also evaluating other potential income tax impacts of the CARES Act. If furtherif changes in financial markets or other areas of the economy adversely affect our access to the capital markets, we would expect to rely on a combination of available cash and existing available capacity under our credit facilities to provide short-term funding. Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for additional discussion.

Additionally, we are evaluating the impacts of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 on our business and the potential impacts of various investment and taxation policy initiatives in the United States and by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). As of the filing date of this Report, we are unable to quantify the anticipated impacts on our financial results for the year ending December 31, 2021, if any, and for future periods. We will continue monitoring these developments.

Sales from existing businesses in our Transportation Technologies businesses declined greater than 20% and declined low-double digits during the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2020, respectively, as compared to the comparable periods of 2019. The year-over-year results for both periods were driven by broad-based declines across all product categories and significant geographies, which was driven by COVID-19 virus control measures. Despite the push-out to April 2021increase in cost of the liability shift related to the enhanced credit card security requirements for outdoor payment systems based on the Europay, Mastercard, and Visa global standards, demand for fuel management systems increased in North America during both periods. However, the COVID-19 pandemic somewhat impacted our ability to convert orders for fuel management systems to shipmentssales during the three month period ended ~~June 26, 2020, and therefore we experienced an increase in backlog that we anticipate will normalize in the second half of 2020.~~

Sales from existing businesses in our Franchise Distribution businesses declined at a rate in the high-teens and at a low-double digit rate during the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2020 as compared to the comparable periods of 2019 due to decreased demand across most product categories, which was driven by COVID-19 virus control measures. The results reflect sharp declines in demand due to COVID-19 virus control measures early in the second quarter, which were partially offset by improvements in demand as the quarter progressed, as virus control measures began to lift in certain jurisdictions.

As of April 2, 2021, ~~4.5 to 1.0, (iii) with respect to~~no borrowings were outstanding under the four fiscal quarters ending October 1, 2021, 4.25 to 1.0 and (iv) with respect to the four fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2021, 3.75 to 1.0; provided however, that for any four fiscal quarters that is not an Adjusted Four Quarters, the maximum permitted consolidated net leverage ratio remains at 3.5 to 1.0, as may be increased to 4.0 to 1.0 following a material acquisition (the “Unadjusted Maximum Ratio”).Revolving Credit Facility.

•The ~~maturity date for the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan was extended from August 28, 2020 to May 30, 2021.~~

•~~From April 24, 2020 to December 31, 2021, the minimum London inter-bank offered rate (“LIBOR”) for each~~availability of ~~the facilities will increase from 0% to 0.25%, and the minimum base rate for each of the facilities will increase from 1.00% to 1.25%. In addition, with respect to~~ the Revolving Credit Facility ~~and for any Adjusted Four Quarters~~as a standby liquidity facility to repay maturing commercial paper is an important factor in ~~which~~maintaining the ~~consolidated net leverage ratio is greater the Unadjusted Maximum Ratio, the applicable margin (as determined based on our long-term debt~~existing credit rating) for any LIBOR rate loans will increase from a range of 80.5 and 117.5 basis points to a range of 118.0 and 155.0 basis points and for any base rate loans from a range of 0.0 and 17.5 basis points to a range of 18.0 and 55.0 basis points. Furthermore, with respect to the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan, the applicable margin (as determined based on our long-term debt credit rating) for any LIBOR rate loans will increase from a range of 75.0 and 97.5 basis points to a range of 155.0 and 180.0 basis points and for any base rate loans from 0.0 to a range of 55.0 and 80.0 basis points.

•From April 24, 2020 to December 31, 2021, the maximum principal amount of secured indebtedness, other than certain types of secured indebtedness expressly permitted under each credit agreement, is decreased from 15% of our consolidated net assets (when added together with indebtedness incurred or guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries) to 11.25% of our consolidated net assets (when added together with indebtedness incurred or guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries).

In connection with the Amendments, we incurred approximately $6.5 million of fees. Our credit facility agreements require, among others, that we maintain certain financial covenants, and we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants on June 26, 2020.

We continue to generate cash from operating activities and believe our cash flow and other sources of liquidity, which consists of access to short-term loans and our revolving credit facility currently, in addition to short-term liquidity benefits provided by cash repatriation and certain provisionsratings of the ~~CARES Act, including relief from employer payroll tax remittance and other tax impacts~~Commercial Paper Programs when we ~~are evaluating, will be~~have outstanding borrowings.

Operating Activities

~~Cash~~Operating cash flows from ~~operating activities~~continuing operations can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period as working capital needs and the timing of payments for income taxes, ~~various employee liabilities, restructuring activities,~~pension funding, and other items impact reported cash flows.

~~Cash~~Operating cash flows from ~~operating activities~~continuing operations were approximately ~~$671~~$152 million during the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020,~~2021, an increase of ~~$250~~$30 million, or approximately 25%, as compared to the comparable period of ~~2019.~~2020. The year-over-year change in operating cash flows from continuing operations was primarily attributable to the following factors:

•~~2020 operating~~Operating cash flows were impacted by ~~lower~~higher net earnings for the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020~~2021 as compared to the comparable period in ~~2019.~~2020. Net earnings for the ~~six~~three month period ended ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 were impacted by a year-over-year ~~decrease~~increase in operating ~~profits~~profit of ~~$58~~$82 million, ~~a gain on the sale property of $5 million, and~~ a decrease in net interest expense of $1$11 million associated with ~~our financing activities related to recent acquisitions. The year-over-year decrease in operating profit~~the repayment of debt, and a gain on the Retained Vontier Shares of $57 million that was ~~impacted~~partially offset by the loss on extinguishment of debt of $105 million. The gain on the Retained Vontier Shares and loss on the extinguishment of debt are non-cash ~~goodwill impairment charge of $85 million, costs associated with the proposed Vontier separation, and a~~items that impact net year-over-year increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of $44 million largely attributable to recently acquired businesses. Depreciation, amortization, and goodwill impairment charges are noncash expenses that decrease earnings without a corresponding impact to operating cash flows.

•The aggregate of accounts receivable, inventories, and trade accounts payable ~~provided $163~~used $44 million of cash during the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020~~2021 as compared to ~~using $68~~providing $14 million in the comparable period of ~~2019.~~2020. The amount of cash flow generated from or used by the aggregate of accounts receivable, inventories, and trade accounts payable depends upon how effectively we manage the cash conversion cycle, which ~~effectively~~generally represents the number of days that elapse from the day we pay for the purchase of raw materials and components to the collection of cash from our customers, and can be significantly impacted by the timing of collections and payments in a period.

•The aggregate of prepaid expenses and other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities used ~~$20~~$77 million of cash during the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020~~2021 as compared to using ~~$71~~$58 million of cash in the comparable period of ~~2019.~~2020. The year over year change was largely driven by ~~the timing of tax payments~~various compensation and ~~various employee~~ benefit ~~accruals.~~payments.

Investing Activities

Investing cash flows from continuing operations consist primarily of cash paid for acquisitions and capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations decreased ~~$3.2 billion~~$19 million during the ~~six~~three month period ended ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 as compared to the comparable period of ~~2019,~~2020, due to year-over-year decreases in capital expenditures of $18 million largely due to ~~cash paid for~~higher spending in the ~~acquisitions~~comparable period in 2020 related to the integration of the ASP and Intelex during the six month period ended June 28, 2019 and the proceeds from the disposition of assets during the six month period ended June 26, 2020, which was minimally offset by a year-over-year increase in capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing capacity, replacing equipment, supporting product development initiatives, improving information technology systems, and purchasing equipment that is used in revenue arrangements with customers. For the year ~~ended~~ending December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, we expect capital spending to be in a range between approximately ~~$80~~$75 million and ~~$100~~$85 million, ~~which includes approximately $20 million of one-time capital expenditures related to the integration of the ASP acquisition.

Financing Activities and Indebtedness

~~Cash~~Financing cash flows from ~~financing activities~~continuing operations consist primarily of cash flows associated with the issuance of equity, the issuance and repayments of debt and commercial paper, and payments of quarterly cash dividends to shareholders.

Financing activities from continuing operations used cash of ~~$728~~$655 million during the ~~six~~three month period ended ~~June 26,~~April 2, 2021, reflecting the following transactions:

•On January 21, 2021, we repaid the remaining $316.8 million outstanding of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Due 2020 ~~reflecting $750~~using the cash proceeds received from Vontier in the Vontier Separation.

•On February 9, 2021, we repurchased $281 million of the 0.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 using the remaining cash proceeds received from Vontier in the Separation and other cash on hand. In connection with the repurchase, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment during the three months ended April 2, 2021 of $10.5 million.

In the comparable 2020 period, financing activities from continuing operations used $282 million of cash, reflecting borrowings from our ~~2021~~ Term Loan due March 2021, which ~~was~~were more than offset by repayments of ~~$1.1 billion of~~ commercial paper of $383 million and ~~$250.0~~$250 million of our 2020 Term Loan. In

On January 19, 2021, we completed the ~~comparable 2019 period, financing activities generated cash~~non-cash Debt-for-Equity Exchange of ~~approximately $2.8 billion, largely due to the issuance~~33.5 million shares of ~~our Convertible Senior Notes and borrowings under our2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan. During the six month period ended June 26, 2020, we paid $64 million of cash dividends to shareholders of our~~ common stock ~~and MCPS.~~

~~2021 Term Loan~~

~~On March 23, 2020, we entered into a credit facility agreement that provides~~of Vontier, representing all of the Retained Vontier Shares, for ~~the 2021 Term Loan~~$1.1 billion in an aggregate principal amount of $425 million. On the same day, we drew down $375 million available under the 2021 Term Loan. We subsequently increased the size of this facility by $325 million on April 3, 2020, and drew the additional $375 million in April 2020, resulting in an outstanding amount of $750 million. We paid approximately $2.0 million in debt issuance costs associated with the 2021 Term Loan. The borrowings from this credit facility were used for settlement of outstanding commercial paper. The 2021 Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin currently at 155 basis points. As of June 26, 2020, borrowings under this facility bore an interest rate of 1.80% per annum. The 2021 Term Loan is due on March 19, 2021 and prepayable at our option. We are not permitted to re-borrow once the term loan is repaid. The terms and conditions, including covenants, applicable to the 2021 Term Loan, are substantially similar to those applicable to our Revolving Credit Facility.

~~2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan~~

On March 1, 2019, we entered into a credit facility agreement that provides for the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. On March 20, 2019, we drew down the full $1.0 billion available under the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan in order to fund, in part, the ASP acquisition. The 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a ratings based margin, prior to the Amendments, at 75 basis points and, following the Amendments, at 155 basis points. As of June 26, 2020 borrowings under this facility bore an interest rate of 1.80% per annum. The 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan is prepayable at our option, and we are not permitted to re-borrow once the term loan is repaid. The terms and conditions, including covenants, applicable to the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan are substantially similar to those applicable to our Revolving Credit Facility.

~~On February 25, 2020, we extended the maturity~~indebtedness of the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan to August 28, 2020. Additionally, on April 24, 2020 we further extended the maturity to May 30, 2021. We were in compliance with our covenants both before and after the extension. The 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan is not callable and remains prepayable at our option.

~~2020 Term Loan~~

On October 25, 2019, we entered into a credit facility agreement that provides for the 2020 Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million. On October 25, 2019, we drew down the full $300 million available under the 2020 Term Loan in order to fund, in part, the Censis acquisition. We subsequently increased the size of this facilityCompany held by $200 million on November 8, 2019 and drew the additional amount on the same day resulting in an outstanding amount of $500 million. The 2020 Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin currently at 75 basis points. As of June 26, 2020, borrowings under this facility bore an interest rate of 1.00% per annum. The 2020 Term Loan is due on October 23, 2020 and prepayable at our option.

~~When market conditions allow, we also have the ability to satisfy any short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flows~~Loan due March 2021 and available cash through issuances of commercial paper under the Commercial Paper Programs. Credit support for the Commercial Paper Programs is provided by our five-year, $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on November 30, 2023 (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The availability(ii) $683.2 million of the ~~Revolving Credit Facility as~~Term Loan due May 2021.

We expect to limit any borrowings under~~debt included in the ~~Revolving Credit Facility to amounts that would leave sufficient credit available under~~Debt-for-Equity Exchange of $94.4 million in the ~~facility to allow us to borrow, if needed, and to repay any outstanding commercial paper as it matures.~~three month period ended April 2, 2021.

We had $2.0 billion available under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 26, 2020, and did not hold commercial paper as of June 26, 2020, and accordingly, we had the ability to incur an additional $2.0 billion of indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 26, 2020. Refer to Note ~~5 of~~6 to the consolidated condensed financial statements for information regarding our financing activities and indebtedness.

We have $2.7 billion in debt with maturities within one year of June 26, 2020. Based on our intent and ability to refinance our borrowings outstanding under the 2020 Delayed-Draw Term Loan of $1.0 billion and the 2021 Term Loan of $748.7 million for at least one year from the balance sheet date, as supported by availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, we have classified these loans as long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 26, 2020. Our intent with respect to the refinancing of these outstanding borrowings may change once the proposed separation of Vontier is effectuated, in which case these loans may be repaid using the cash flows received from the separation. Borrowings under the 2020 Term Loan of $250 million and 2.35% Senior unsecured notes due 2021 of $748.8 million are recorded in the Current portion of long-term debt line item in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet ~~as of June 26, 2020~~.

~~Dividends~~

Aggregate cash payments for preferred and common stock dividends paid to shareholders during the ~~six~~three month period ended ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 were ~~$64~~$41 million and are recorded as dividends to shareholders in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Changes in Equity and the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.

As such, our~~2021 to preferred ~~dividends were accrued and recorded as Mandatory convertible preferred stock cumulative dividends in the Consolidated Condensed Statement~~stockholders of ~~Changes in Equity and in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of~~record on June ~~26, 2020.~~15, 2021.

Cash and Cash Requirements

As of ~~June 26, 2020,~~April 2, 2021, we held approximately ~~$1.1~~$1.3 billion of cash and equivalents that were invested in highly liquid investment-grade instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less ~~with an annual effective~~that yielded insignificant interest ~~rate that approximated 0.5%~~income during the three month period ended ~~June 26, 2020.~~April 2, 2021. Approximately ~~75%~~50% of the ~~$1.1~~$1.3 billion of cash and equivalents we held as of ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 was held outside of the United States.

We have cash requirements to support working capital needs, capital expenditures and acquisitions, pay interest and service debt, pay taxes and any related interest or penalties, fund our ~~restructuring activities and~~ pension plans as required, pay dividends to shareholders, and support other business needs or objectives. With respect to our cash requirements, we generally intend to use available cash and internally generated funds to meet these cash requirements, but in the event that additional liquidity is required, particularly in connection with acquisitions, we may also borrow under our commercial paper programs or credit facilities or enter into new credit facilities and either borrow directly thereunder or use such credit facilities to backstop additional borrowing capacity under our commercial paper ~~programs, and/or access the capital markets.~~programs. We also may from time to time access the capital markets, including to take advantage of favorable interest rate environments or other market conditions.

Additionally, we anticipate the provisions of the CARES Act will continue providing us with short-term liquidity benefits, specifically the deferral of employer payroll tax payments until December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 of approximately $40 million to $50 million, in addition to other potential income tax impacts that we are continuing to evaluate. During the three month period ended June 26, 2020, we deferred remittance of approximately $15 million in payroll tax payments into 2021 and approximately $10 million of estimated Federal income tax payments into the third quarter of 2020.

Given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and current market conditions in the U.S., we have updated our assertion for previously unremitted earnings from 2019 and prior periods due to new facts and circumstances that we did not face in prior periods. The TCJA eliminated the U.S. tax cost for qualified repatriation beginning in 2018 but foreignForeign cumulative earnings remain subject to foreign remittance taxes. ~~During the six month period ended June 26, 2020, we provided foreign remittance taxes of $13 million on the repatriation of $310 million of previously unremitted earnings from 2019 and prior periods.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

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

As of ~~June 26, 2020,~~April 2, 2021, we expect to have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs for the foreseeable future, including our cash needs in the United States.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

~~Other than noted below, there~~There were no material changes during the three ~~and six~~ month ~~periods~~period ended ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 to the items we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

~~On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2016-13,~~ ~~Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments~~ ~~(“ASU 2016-13”). Concurrent with our adoption of ASU 2016-13, we updated our methodology for estimating the allowance for credit losses as provided below:~~

~~Trade Accounts, Financing, and Unbilled Receivables~~: We maintain allowances for credit losses to reflect expected credit losses inherent in our portfolio of receivables. Determination of the allowances requires us to exercise judgment about the timing, frequency, and severity of credit losses that could materially affect the allowances and, therefore, net earnings. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our trade accounts, financing, and unbilled receivable portfolios over the remaining contractual life. We pool assets with similar risk characteristics for this measurement based on attributes that may include asset type, duration, and/or credit risk rating. The future expected losses of each pool are estimated based on numerous quantitative and qualitative factors reflecting management’s estimate of collectibility over the remaining contractual life of the pooled assets, including:

•~~duration;~~

•~~historical, current, and forecasted future loss experience by asset type;~~

•~~historical, current, and forecasted delinquency and write-off trends;~~

•~~historical, current, and forecasted economic conditions; and~~

•~~historical, current, and forecasted credit risk.~~

We regularly perform detailed reviews of our trade accounts, financing, and unbilled receivable portfolios to determine if changes in the aforementioned qualitative and quantitative factors have impacted the adequacy of the allowances.

~~Acquired Intangibles:~~ Our business acquisitions typically result in the recognition of goodwill, in-process R&D and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of future period amortization expense and possible impairment charges that we may incur. We review identified intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

In connection with management’s updated forecast for the Telematics business that indicated a decline in sales and operating profit to levels lower than previously forecasted, due in large part to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, management determined the change in forecast indicated the related carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable and performed a quantitative impairment assessment over the Telematics reporting unit on March 27, 2020. This analysis resulted in an impairment of $85.3 million. Refer to Note 3 for information regarding management’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of the reporting unit.

~~Table of Contents~~

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our concentrations of credit risk arising from receivables from customers are limited due to the diversity of our customers. Our businesses perform credit evaluations of their customers’ financial conditions as appropriate and also obtain collateral or other security when appropriate. ~~Notwithstanding these efforts, the current distress in the global economy resulting from COVID-19 may increase the difficulty in collecting receivables.~~

Additional ~~Quantitative~~quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk appear in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Financial Instruments and Risk Management,” in our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no material changes during the three ~~and six~~ month ~~periods~~period ended ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 to the information reported in our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K relating to our evaluation of interest rate, foreign currency exchange, and commodity price risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer, and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer, and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the most recent completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Information regarding risk factors appears in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements,” in Part I - Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and in the “Risk Factors” section of our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and such information should be read in conjunction with the new risk factor relating to COVID-19 that is presented below. The developments described in this additional risk factor have heightened, or in some cases manifested, certain of the risks disclosed in the other risk factor identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2019 Annual Report Form 10-K, and such risk factors are further qualified by the information relating to COVID-19 that is described in this Report.10-K. There were no ~~other~~ material changes during the quarter ended ~~June 26, 2020~~April 2, 2021 to the risk factors reported in the “Risk Factors” section of our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our global operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers, and vendors is continuing to have a material, adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

Our global operations expose us broadly to the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues to spread worldwide. In particular, continued efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus have caused us, our suppliers, and customers to reduce commercial activities and utilization of facilities and manufacturing sites, resulting in reduction in demand for our products and services, our ability to source required materials and components, and our ability to manufacture, sell, and service our products. In addition, implementation of measures to help control the spread of the virus, including internal work-from-home policies to protect the health of our employees and community, “shelter in place” and “stay at home” orders, travel restrictions, school closures, social distancing measures, and re-opening restrictions have negatively impacted our collaboration efforts with our global colleagues, customers, vendors, and service providers, and our ability to retain our workforce without implementing targeted furloughs, and increased the risk and cost of protecting against cyber attacks. Furthermore, the volatility and disruption in the capital markets from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy has adversely effected the cost of, and access to, capital and the timing of the proposed separation of Vontier.
