1 The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 and 2024 included costs related to programs to optimize its organization and cost structure. These restructuring and business optimization costs in 2025 included costs primarily related to its initiatives to reduce its cost structure following the sale of its former Kidney Care segment. These restructuring and business optimization costs in 2024 included costs primarily related to the implementation of a new operating model intended to simplify and streamline its operations and better align its manufacturing and supply chain to its commercial activities and to a lesser extent, third-party costs incurred to support the transformation of certain general and administrative functions. The company's results of discontinued operations in 2024 included costs primarily related to a program to centralize certain of its research and development activities into a new location.
2The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 and 2024 included integration-related items comprised of Hillrom acquisition and integration expenses. In 2025 these expenses primarily reflected the recognition of a noncash impairment of property, plant and equipment related to integration activities. In 2024 these expenses primarily reflected third party consulting costs related to its integration of Hillrom.
3The company's results in 2025 and 2024 included incremental costs to comply with the European Union's medical device regulations for previously registered products, which primarily consisted of contractor costs and other direct third-party costs. The company considers the adoption of these regulations to be a significant one-time regulatory change and believes that the costs of initial compliance for previously registered products over the implementation period are not indicative of its core operating results.
4The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 included charges related to a revised estimate of warranty and remediation activities arising from a field corrective action on certain of our infusion pumps initially recorded in 2022.
5The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 included charges related to Hurricane Helene, which consisted of remediation, air freight and other costs. The company's results of discontinued operations in 2025 included charges related to Hurricane Helene, which consisted of air freight and other costs.
6The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 included charges related to matters involving alleged injury from environmental exposure.
7The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 included separation-related costs primarily related to external advisors supporting its activities related to the separation of its Kidney Care segment. The company's results of discontinued operations in 2025 and 2024 included separation-related costs primarily related to external advisors supporting its activities related to the completed sale of its Kidney Care segment.
8The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 included losses from a noncash impairment write-down in an equity method investment.
9The company's results of discontinued operations in 2025 included a gain from the sale of the Kidney Care business.
10The company's results of continuing operations in 2025 included a tax benefit driven by an entity classification election that it made for U.S. tax purposes, which resulted in a capital loss. The company's results of discontinued operations in 2025 included indirect impacts of the carryback of the tax benefits generated by the sale of its Kidney Care business to prior years. The company's results in 2024 included a change in its permanent reinvestment assertion that it allocated to continuing operations and a reallocation of income tax expense between discontinued and continuing operations resulting from the application of intraperiod tax allocation to its adjusted results in an interim period.
