The matters discussed on this website that are not historical facts include forward-looking statements concerning the company’s financial results (including the outlook for second-quarter and full-year 2025) and business development and regulatory activities. These forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, including the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: the company’s ability to achieve the intended benefits of its strategic actions, including the sale of the Kidney Care business, business strategy and development activities and cost saving initiatives; the company’s ability to successfully integrate acquisitions, including the acquisition of Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (Hillrom) and the related impact on the company’s organization structure, senior leadership, culture, functional alignment, outsourcing and other areas, the company’s management of resulting related personnel capacity constraints and potential institutional knowledge loss, and the company’s ability to achieve anticipated performance or financial targets and maintain its reputation following integration; the impact of global economic conditions (including, among other things, changes in tariffs, taxation, trade policies and treaties, sanctions, embargos, export control restrictions, the potential for a recession, supply chain disruptions, inflation levels and interest rates, financial market volatility, banking crises, the war in Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East and other geopolitical events and the potential for escalation of these conflicts, the related economic sanctions being imposed globally in response to the conflicts and potential trade wars, global public health crises, pandemics and epidemics, or the anticipation of any of the foregoing, on the company’s operations and on the company’s employees, customers, suppliers, and foreign governments in countries in which the company operates; the continuity, availability, and pricing of acceptable raw materials and component parts, the company’s ability to pass some or all of these costs to its customers through price increases or otherwise, and the related continuity of the company’s manufacturing, sterilization, supply and distribution and those of the company’s suppliers; failure to accurately forecast or achieve the company’s short- and long-term financial performance and goals, market and category growth rates, growth rates for the company’s segments, and related impacts on the company’s liquidity;

fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates; the impact of any accounting estimates and assumptions, including with respect to goodwill, intangible asset, or other long-lived asset impairments on the company’s operating results; the company’s ability to finance and develop new products or services, or enhancements thereto, on commercially acceptable terms or at all; product development risks, including satisfactory clinical performance and obtaining and maintaining required regulatory approvals (including as a result of evolving regulatory requirements or the withdrawal or resubmission of any pending applications), the ability to manufacture at appropriate scale, and the general unpredictability associated with the product development cycle; demand and market acceptance risks for, and competitive pressures (including pricing) related to, new and existing products and services, challenges with the company’s ability to accurately predict changing customer preferences and future expenditures and inventory levels, and challenges with the company’s ability to monetize new and existing products and services (and to sustain any related price increases), the impact of those products and services on quality and patient safety concerns, and the need for ongoing training and support for the company’s products and services; future actions of, or failures to act or delays in acting by FDA, the European Medicines Agency, or any other regulatory body or government authority (including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Justice, or the Attorney General of any state), or any product quality or patient safety issues that could delay, limit or suspend product development, manufacturing or sale, or otherwise lead to product recalls, withdrawals, labeling changes, launch delays, warning letters, import bans, denial of import certifications, sanctions, seizures, injunctions, monetary sanctions, criminal or civil liabilities or litigation; actions by tax authorities in connection with ongoing tax audits (including with respect to transfer pricing matters) and the outcome of pending or future litigation; failures with respect to the company’s quality, compliance or ethics programs; our ability to attract, develop, retain and engage employees, including senior management, and the occurrence of labor disruptions (including as a result of labor disagreements under bargaining agreements or national trade union agreements or disputes with works councils); inability to create additional production capacity in a timely manner or the occurrence of other manufacturing, sterilization, or supply difficulties, including as a result of natural disaster or severe weather event (such as Hurricane Helene), war, terrorism, global public health crises and epidemics/pandemics, regulatory actions or otherwise; future actions of third parties, including third-party payors and the company’s customers and distributors (including GPOs and IDNs); breaches and breakdowns affecting the company’s information technology systems or protected information, including by cyber-attack, data leakage, unauthorized access or theft, or failures of or vulnerabilities in the company’s information technology systems or products; the company’s ability to effectively develop, integrate or deploy artificial intelligence, machine learning and other emerging technologies into the company’s products, services and operations in a manner that is compliant with existing and emerging regulations; the impact of physical effects of climate change, severe storms (including Hurricane Helene) and storm-related events; changes to legislation and regulation and other governmental pressures in the United States and globally, including the cost of compliance and potential penalties for purported noncompliance thereof, including new or amended laws, rules and regulations as well as the impact of healthcare reform and its implementation, suspension, repeal, replacement, amendment, modification and other similar actions undertaken by the United States or foreign governments, including with respect to pricing, reimbursement, taxation (including taxation of income, whether with respect to current or future tax reform) and rebate policies; the company’s ability to meet evolving and varied corporate responsibility expectations of the company’s stakeholders, including compliance with new and emerging sustainability regulations; the ability to protect or enforce the company’s patents or other proprietary rights (including trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and know-how) or where the patents of third parties prevent or restrict the company’s manufacture, sale or use of affected products or technology;
