Nature of Operations

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (the company or Thermo Fisher) enables customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer by helping them accelerate life sciences research, solve complex analytical challenges, increase laboratory productivity, and improve patient health through diagnostics and the development and manufacture of life-changing therapies. Markets served include pharmaceutical and biotech, academic and government, industrial and applied, as well as healthcare and diagnostics.

Interim Financial Statements

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the company, are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at September 26, 2026, the results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 26, 2026 and September 27, 2025, and the cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 26, 2026 and September 27, 2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2025, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain all information that is included in the annual financial statements and notes thereto of the company. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the 2025 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for 2025 describes the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes in the company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 26, 2026.

Amounts and percentages reported within these condensed consolidated financial statements are presented and calculated based on underlying unrounded amounts. As a result, the sum of components may not equal corresponding totals due to rounding.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The company’s estimates include, among others, asset reserve requirements as well as the amounts of future cash flows associated with certain assets and businesses that are used in assessing the risk of impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The effective interest rates for the fixed-rate debt include the stated interest on the notes, the accretion of any discounts/premiums and the amortization of any debt issuance costs.

See Note 4 for fair value information pertaining to the company’s long-term borrowings.

Credit Facilities

The company has a revolving credit facility (the Facility) with a bank group that provides for up to $5.00 billion of unsecured multi-currency revolving credit. The Facility expires on January 7, 2028. The revolving credit agreement calls for interest at either a Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), EURIBOR-based rate (for funds drawn in euro), or a rate based on the prime lending rate of the agent bank, at the company’s option. The agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The covenants in the Facility include a Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio (Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Net Interest Expense), as such terms are defined in the Facility. Specifically, the company has agreed that, so long as any lender has any commitment under the Facility, any letter of credit is outstanding under the Facility, or any loan or other obligation is outstanding under the Facility, it will maintain a minimum Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.5:1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. As of September 26, 2026, no borrowings were outstanding under the Facility.

Commercial Paper Programs

The company has commercial paper programs pursuant to which it may issue and sell unsecured, short-term promissory notes (CP Notes). Under the U.S. program, a) maturities may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue and b) the CP Notes are issued on a private placement basis under customary terms in the commercial paper market and are not redeemable prior to maturity nor subject to voluntary prepayment. Under the euro program, maturities may not exceed 183 days and may be denominated in euro, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds sterling, Swiss franc, Canadian dollars or other currencies. Under both programs, the CP Notes are issued at a discount from par (or premium to par, in the case of negative interest rates), or, alternatively, are sold at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis.

Senior Notes

Interest is payable annually on the euro and public Swiss franc-denominated fixed rate senior notes, quarterly on the euro-denominated floating rate senior note, and semi-annually on all other senior notes. Each of the U.S. dollar and euro-denominated fixed rate senior notes, and Japanese yen-denominated and Swiss franc-denominated private placement notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus a specified make-whole premium and accrued interest, together with swap breakage costs payable to holders of the Japanese yen-denominated and Swiss franc-denominated private placement notes who have entered into cross-currency swap agreements. The company is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants under the indentures and note purchase agreement governing the senior notes, the most restrictive of which limits the ability of the company

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

The company is currently involved in various stages of investigation and remediation related to environmental matters. The company cannot predict all potential costs related to environmental remediation matters and the possible impact on future operations given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the complexity and interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, the varying costs of alternative cleanup methods and the extent of the company’s responsibility. Expenses for environmental remediation matters related to the costs of installing, operating and maintaining groundwater-treatment systems and other remedial activities related to historical environmental contamination at the company’s domestic and international facilities were not material in any period presented. At September 26, 2026, there have been no material changes to the accruals for pending environmental-related matters disclosed in the company’s 2025 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. While management believes the accruals for environmental remediation are adequate based on current estimates of remediation costs, the company may be subject to additional remedial or compliance costs due to future events such as changes in existing laws and regulations, changes in agency direction or enforcement policies, developments in remediation technologies or changes in the conduct of the company’s operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Litigation and Related Contingencies

The company is involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquiries, investigations and proceedings, and litigation matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The disputes and litigation matters include product liability, intellectual property, employment and commercial issues. Due to the inherent uncertainties associated with pending litigation or claims, the company cannot predict the outcome, nor, with respect to certain pending litigation or claims where no liability has been accrued, make a meaningful estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome. The company has

THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

no material accruals for pending litigation or claims for which accrual amounts are not disclosed in these interim financial statements and notes, nor are material losses deemed probable for such matters. It is reasonably possible, however, that an unfavorable outcome that exceeds the company’s current accrual estimate, if any, for one or more such matters could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Product Liability, Workers Compensation and Other Personal Injury Matters

The company is involved in various proceedings and litigation that arise from time to time in connection with product liability, workers compensation and other personal injury matters. At September 26, 2026, there have been no material changes to the accruals for pending product liability, workers compensation, and other personal injury matters disclosed in the company’s 2025 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although the company believes that the amounts accrued and estimated insurance recoveries are probable and appropriate based on available information, including actuarial studies of loss estimates, the process of estimating losses and insurance recoveries involves a considerable degree of judgment by management and the ultimate amounts could vary, which could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Insurance contracts do not relieve the company of its primary obligation with respect to any losses incurred. The collectability of amounts due from its insurers is subject to the solvency and willingness of the insurer to pay, as well as the legal sufficiency of the insurance claims. Management monitors the payment history as well as the financial condition and ratings of its insurers on an ongoing basis.

Restructuring and Other Costs

In the first nine months of 2026, restructuring and other costs primarily included impairments of long-lived assets, continuing charges for headcount reductions and facility consolidations in an effort to streamline operations, and, to a lesser extent, net charges for pre-acquisition litigation and other matters, partially offset by gain on the sale of a business. In 2026, severance actions associated with facility consolidations and cost reduction measures affected approximately 2% of the company’s workforce.

As of October 30, 2026, the company has identified restructuring actions, primarily in the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services segment, that it expects will result in additional charges of approximately $180 million, primarily in 2026, and expects to identify additional actions in future periods.

During the first quarter of 2026, the company recorded a deferred tax benefit of $175 million resulting from the recognition of tax attributes related to domestication transactions. During the second quarter of 2026, the company recorded a deferred tax benefit of $148 million in jurisdictions where the deferred tax assets are now expected to be realized due to forecasted income. During the third quarter of 2026, the company recorded a deferred tax benefit of $161 million resulting from the recognition of tax attributes related to a domestication transaction. The company also recorded a $171 million tax expense related to the tax gain associated with the sale of the microbiology division that was completed during the quarter.

During the first quarter of 2025, the company recorded a deferred tax benefit of $125 million resulting from the recognition of a tax attribute related to a domestication transaction. During the second quarter of 2025, the company recorded a deferred tax benefit of $153 million related to capital losses generated as part of intra-entity transactions and a $93 million benefit in jurisdictions where the deferred tax assets are now expected to be realized due to forecasted income. During the third quarter of 2025, the company recorded $86 million of tax benefits resulting from tax return reassessments.

The company has operations and a taxable presence in approximately 70 countries outside the U.S. The company's effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate each year due to certain operations that are subject to tax incentives, state and local taxes, and foreign taxes that are different than the U.S. federal statutory rate.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As of September 26, 2026, the company had $0.41 billion of unrecognized tax benefits substantially all of which, if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Note 12. Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

The company’s acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the determined fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill, primarily due to expectations of the synergies that will be realized by combining the businesses and the benefits that will be gained from the assembled workforces. These synergies include: the elimination of redundant facilities, functions and staffing; use of the company’s existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired businesses’ products and services; and use of the commercial infrastructure of the acquired businesses to cost-effectively expand sales of company products and services.

Acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and the acquired companies’ results have been included in the accompanying financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

2026

On March 24, 2026, the company acquired, within the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services segment, Clario Holdings, Inc., a U.S.-based leading provider of endpoint data solutions for clinical trials. The acquisition expands the segment’s portfolio with the addition of highly complementary clinical research offerings, enabling customers to gain critical insights from clinical data to improve decision-making, accelerate innovation and drive greater productivity. The goodwill recorded as a result of this business combination is not tax deductible.

The components of the preliminary purchase price and net assets acquired are as follows:


(In millions)	Clario
Purchase price
Cash paid	$	5,811
Debt settled	3,180
Purchase price payable	115
Fair value of contingent consideration	113
Cash acquired	(117)
	$	9,102

Net assets acquired
Definite-lived intangible assets
Customer relationships	$	2,510
Product technology	844
Trade names	19
Backlog	423
Goodwill	5,945
Net other assets/(liabilities)	380
Contract liabilities	(375)
Deferred tax assets/(liabilities)	(645)
	$	9,102

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of Clario is based on the estimates of the fair value of the purchase price and net assets acquired and is subject to adjustment upon finalization, largely with respect to acquired intangible assets, contract liabilities and the related deferred taxes. Measurements of these items inherently require significant estimates and assumptions.

In 2026, the company also acquired, within the Analytical Instruments segment, two proteomics software companies including one in the U.S. and one in Germany, further strengthening our mass spectrometry and proteomics software capabilities.

The weighted-average amortization periods for definite-lived intangible assets acquired in 2026 are 20 years for customer relationships, 7 years for product technology, 3 years for trade names, and 6 years for backlog. The weighted-average amortization period for all definite-lived intangible assets acquired in 2026 is 15 years.

2025

On September 1, 2025, the company acquired, within the Life Sciences Solutions segment, our filtration and separation business, a leading provider of purification and filtration technologies used in the production of biologics as well as in medical technologies and industrial applications, from Solventum Corporation. The business strengthens the segment’s bioproduction offerings with advanced filtration technologies that improve quality and efficiency across upstream and downstream workflows. In addition, its industrial filtration and membrane solutions will expand our reach into industries including battery, semiconductor and medical device manufacturing. The goodwill recorded as a result of this business combination is not tax deductible.

During the third quarter of 2026, customer activity remained strong across our end markets. Revenue growth was very strong in the pharma and biotech market, as underlying market conditions continued to strengthen. Revenues in the academic and government market were flat. Revenue in the industrial and applied market was very strong, driven by customer demand for our innovative high-end instruments. Revenue to customers in the diagnostics and healthcare market also grew slightly. During the third quarter of 2026, sales increased across all major geographies. Revenue growth was strong in North America and Europe and very strong in Asia-Pacific, including China. Contributions to organic revenue during the third quarter of 2026 were led by the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services segment and the Analytical Instruments segment.

During the first nine months of 2026, revenue growth in the pharma and biotech market was strong, with performance driven by strengthening underlying market conditions. Revenues in the academic and government market were flat. Revenues to customers in the industrial and applied market were also strong, driven by customer demand for our innovative high-end instruments. Revenues in the diagnostics and healthcare market grew slightly. During the first nine months of 2026, sales grew in North America. Revenue growth in Asia-Pacific, including China, and Europe was strong. Contributions to organic revenue during the first nine months of 2026 were led by the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services segment.

The company continues to execute its proven growth strategy which consists of three pillars:

•High-impact innovation;

•Our trusted partner status with customers; and

•Our unparalleled commercial engine.

GAAP operating income margin and adjusted operating income margin increased in the third quarter of 2026 due primarily to very strong productivity improvements, including tariff refunds realized, offset in part by strategic investments. GAAP operating income margin in the third quarter of 2026 also benefited from the recognition of net credits for changes in contingent consideration that did not occur in 2025, a gain on the sale of the microbiology business (Note 12), and lower levels of restructuring and other charges incurred for headcount reductions and consolidation of facilities when compared to the third quarter of 2025 (Note 6); however, this was largely offset by a held-for-sale loss (Note 12).

THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.

GAAP operating income margin and adjusted operating income margin increased in the first nine months of 2026 due primarily to very strong productivity improvements, offset in part by unfavorable business mix and strategic investments. GAAP operating income margin also benefitted from lower levels of restructuring and other charges incurred for headcount reductions and consolidation of facilities (Note 6), largely offset by a held-for-sale loss (Note 12).

The company’s references to strategic investments generally refer to targeted spending for enhancing commercial capabilities, including expansion of geographic sales reach and e-commerce platforms, marketing initiatives, expanded service and operational infrastructure, research and development projects and other expenditures to enhance the customer experience, as well as incentive compensation and recognition for employees. The company’s references throughout this discussion to productivity improvements generally refer to the impact of its Practical Process Improvement (PPI) Business System to address inflation, drive cost efficiencies, improve profitability and, in 2026, the impact of tariff refunds realized. The benefits of PPI include optimized price realization, reduced costs resulting from implementing continuous improvement methodologies, global sourcing initiatives, a lower cost structure following restructuring actions including headcount reductions and consolidation of facilities, and low cost region manufacturing.

Notable Recent Acquisitions and Divestiture

On August 12, 2026, the company sold its microbiology business to Astorg. The business was part of the Specialty Diagnostics segment.

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 increased, due primarily to the increase in debt for general corporate purposes and the company’s capital deployment initiatives, which included financing stock buybacks, paying dividends, and acquiring Clario (Note 12). In the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, the company’s net interest expense was reduced by $102 million and $296 million, respectively, as a result of its interest rate swap and cross-currency interest rate swap arrangements. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, the company’s net interest expense was reduced by $66 million and $199 million, respectively, as a result of its interest rate swap and cross-currency interest rate swap arrangements (Note 10).

GAAP other income/(expense) and adjusted other income/(expense) include currency transaction gains/losses on non-operating monetary assets and liabilities, and net periodic pension benefit cost/income, excluding the service cost component. GAAP other income/(expense) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 also includes $(13) million and $10 million, respectively, of net gains/(losses) on investments. GAAP other income/(expense) in the first nine months of 2026 also includes $6 million of business interruption recoveries. GAAP other income/(expense) in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 also includes $7 million and $9 million, respectively, of net gains on investments, and $2 million and $8 million, respectively, of settlement charges for pension plans.

The company’s GAAP and adjusted tax rates in the third quarter of 2026 were impacted by a $161 million deferred tax benefit resulting from the recognition of tax attributes related to a domestication transaction. The company’s GAAP tax rate in the third quarter of 2026 was also impacted by a $171 million tax expense related to the tax gain associated with the sale of the microbiology business that was completed during the quarter. The company’s GAAP and adjusted tax rates in the first nine months of 2026 were impacted by $175 million of deferred tax benefits resulting from the recognition of tax attributes related to domestication transactions and a deferred tax benefit of $148 million in jurisdictions where the deferred tax assets are now expected to be realized due to forecasted income. The company’s GAAP and adjusted tax rates in the third quarter of 2025 were impacted by an $86 million tax benefit from tax return reassessments. The company’s GAAP tax rate in the third quarter of 2025 was also impacted by tax legislation enacted during the quarter. The company’s GAAP and adjusted tax rates in the first nine months of 2025 were impacted by a $125 million deferred tax benefit resulting from the recognition of a tax

THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.

attribute related to a domestication transaction, a deferred tax benefit of $153 million related to capital losses generated as part of intra-entity transactions, and a $93 million benefit in jurisdictions where the deferred tax assets are now expected to be realized due to forecasted income (Note 7).

The effective tax rates in both 2026 and 2025 were also affected by relatively significant earnings in lower tax jurisdictions. Due primarily to the non-deductibility of intangible asset amortization for tax purposes, the company’s cash payments for income taxes are higher than its income tax expense for financial reporting purposes and are expected to total approximately $1.5 billion in 2026.

The company expects its GAAP effective tax rate in 2026 will be between 9% and 11% based on currently forecasted rates of profitability in the countries in which the company conducts business and generates foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate can vary significantly from period to period as a result of discrete income tax factors and events. The company expects its adjusted tax rate will be approximately 11.5% in 2026.

The company has operations and a taxable presence in approximately 70 countries outside the U.S. Some of these countries have lower tax rates than the U.S. The company’s ability to obtain a benefit from lower tax rates outside the U.S. is dependent on its relative levels of income in countries outside the U.S. and on the statutory tax rates in those countries. Based on the dispersion of the company’s non-U.S. income tax provision among many countries, the company believes that a change in the statutory tax rate in any individual country is not likely to materially affect the company’s income tax provision or net income.

Weighted average diluted shares decreased in 2026 compared to 2025, primarily due to share repurchases, net of option dilution.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The company’s proven growth strategy has enabled it to generate free cash flow as well as access the capital markets. The company deploys its capital primarily via mergers and acquisitions and secondarily via share buybacks and dividends.




(In millions)	September 26, 2026		December 31, 2025
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5,461	$	9,852
Short-term investments	600		253
Total debt	41,370		39,384

Approximately half of the company’s cash balances and cash flows from operations are generated outside the U.S. The company uses its non-U.S. cash for needs outside of the U.S., including acquisitions, capacity expansion, and repayment of third-party foreign debt by foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the company also transfers cash to the U.S. using non-taxable intercompany transactions, including loans and returns of capital, as well as dividends where the related U.S. dividend received deduction or foreign tax credit equals any tax cost arising from the dividends. As a result of using such means of transferring cash to the U.S., the company does not expect any material adverse liquidity effects from its significant non-U.S. cash balances for the foreseeable future.

The company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and its future cash flow from operations together with available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of its existing businesses for the foreseeable future, including at least the next 24 months.

As of September 26, 2026, the company’s short-term obligations and current maturities of long-term obligations totaled $2.26 billion. The company has a revolving credit facility with a bank group that provides up to $5.00 billion of unsecured multi-currency revolving credit (Note 3). If the company borrows under this facility, it intends to leave undrawn an amount equivalent to outstanding commercial paper to provide a source of funds in the event that commercial paper markets are not available. As of September 26, 2026, no borrowings were outstanding under the company’s revolving credit facility.

Operating Activities

During the first nine months of 2026, cash provided by net income was offset in part by investments in working capital. An increase in accounts receivable used cash of $0.54 billion. A decrease in accounts payable used cash of $0.43 billion. Cash payments for income taxes were $0.94 billion during the first nine months of 2026.

During the first nine months of 2025, cash provided by income was offset in part by investments in working capital. Changes in other assets and liabilities used cash of $1.21 billion primarily due to the timing of payments for compensation and income taxes. Cash payments for income taxes were $1.60 billion during the first nine months of 2025.

Investing Activities

During the first nine months of 2026, acquisitions used cash of $8.88 billion, and proceeds from the sale of the company’s microbiology business provided cash of $1.02 billion (Note 12). Purchases of property, plant and equipment for capacity and capability investments used cash of $1.26 billion.

During the first nine months of 2025, acquisitions used cash of $4.04 billion. The company’s investing activities also included $1.06 billion for the purchase of property, plant and equipment for capacity and capability investments.

The company expects that for all of 2026, expenditures for property, plant and equipment, net of disposals, will be between $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion.

Financing Activities

During the first nine months of 2026, issuance of debt provided $5.24 billion of cash. Repayment of debt used cash of $2.52 billion. The company’s financing activities also included the repurchase of $4.00 billion of the company’s common stock (6.9 million shares), and the payment of $0.51 billion in cash dividends. On November 6, 2025, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $5.00 billion of the company’s common stock. All of the shares of common stock repurchased by the company during the first nine months of 2026 were under this program. At October 30, 2026, $1.00 billion was available for future repurchases of the company’s common stock under this authorization.

During the first nine months of 2025, issuance of debt and net commercial paper activity provided $3.34 billion of cash. Repayment of debt used cash of $1.63 billion. The company’s financing activities also included the repurchase of $3.00 billion of the company’s common stock (5.8 million shares), of which $0.04 billion settled in the fourth quarter of 2025, and the payment of $0.47 billion in cash dividends.

The company’s commitments for purchases of property, plant and equipment, contractual obligations and other commercial commitments, did not change materially subsequent to December 31, 2025, except in connection with the completion of the Clario acquisition, which occurred on March 24, 2026 (Note 12).

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures such as organic revenue growth, which is reported revenue growth, excluding the impacts of revenues from acquired/divested businesses and the effects of currency translation. We report organic revenue growth because Thermo Fisher management believes that in order to understand the company’s short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of acquisitions/divestitures and foreign currency translation on revenues. Thermo Fisher management uses organic revenue growth to forecast and evaluate the operational performance of the company as well as to compare revenues of current periods to prior periods.

We report adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted other income/(expense), adjusted tax rate, and adjusted EPS. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to

THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.

GAAP financial measures, helps investors to gain a better understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the company’s core operating performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods, forecasts, and to the performance of our competitors. Such measures are also used by management in their financial and operating decision-making and for compensation purposes. To calculate these measures we exclude, as applicable:

•Certain transaction-related costs, including charges for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of acquisition, significant transaction-related third-party costs, changes in estimates of contingent acquisition-related consideration, and other costs associated with obtaining short-term financing commitments for pending/recent acquisitions. We exclude these costs because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs.

•Costs/income associated with restructuring activities and large-scale abandonments of product lines, such as reducing overhead and consolidating facilities. We exclude these costs because we believe that the costs related to restructuring activities and large-scale abandonment of product lines are not indicative of our normal operating costs.

•Equity in earnings/losses of unconsolidated entities; impairments of long-lived assets; and certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, including gains/losses on investments, the sale of businesses, product lines, and real estate, significant litigation-related matters, curtailments/settlements of pension plans, and the early retirement of debt. We exclude these items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

•The expense associated with the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have lives of up to 20 years. Exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies.

•The noncontrolling interest and tax impacts of the above items and the impact of significant tax audits or events (such as changes in deferred taxes from enacted tax rate/law changes), the latter of which we exclude because they are outside of our normal operations and difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

We report free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less net capital expenditures, to provide a view of the continuing operations’ ability to generate cash for use in acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. The company also uses this measure as an indication of the strength of the company. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures of the company’s results of operations and cash flows included in this Form 10-Q are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for the company’s results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth within the “Consolidated Results” and “Segment Results” sections and below.
