The [removed: effect of] [added: spread of, and] the [added: remediation efforts related to,] COVID-19 [removed: pandemic] [added: in certain key jurisdictions] on [removed: our global operations] [added: supply chain, labor force,] and the operations of our customers, suppliers, and vendors [removed: is] [added: are] continuing to have [removed: a material,] [added: an] adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
[removed: In particular, continued] [added: Continued spread of, and] efforts to mitigate [removed: the spread of the virus,] [added: COVID-19 in certain key countries,] including [removed: new variants of the virus,] [added: China,] have caused us, our suppliers, and customers to alter commercial activities and utilization of facilities and manufacturing sites, adversely impacting our ability to manufacture, sell, transport and service our [removed: products.][added: products from the impacted countries.]
If we cannot adjust our manufacturing capacity, supply chain management or the purchases required for our manufacturing activities to reflect changes in market conditions, customer demand and supply chain [removed: or transportation] disruptions, our profitability may suffer.
Our income could be adversely impacted if we are unable to adjust our purchases and supply chain management to reflect any supply chain or transportation disruptions or changes in customer demand and market fluctuations, including those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, [added: geopolitical disruptions, including the Ukraine/Russia conflict, severe weather events,] increases in demand outpacing supply capabilities, labor shortages, seasonality or cyclicality.
The supply chains for our businesses could also be disrupted by supplier capacity constraints, operational or quality issues, bankruptcy or exiting of the business for other reasons, decreased availability of key raw materials or commodities, and external events such as natural disasters, [added: severe weather events that are occurring more frequently or with more intense effects as a result of global climate change,] pandemic health issues, war, terrorist actions, governmental actions, and legislative or regulatory changes, among others.
In particular, the [removed: COVID-19 pandemic and the] widespread supply chain challenges due to labor, raw material, and component shortages, as well as widespread logistics issues, affected multiple industries, raised material and shipping costs, limited the quantities available, and extended the lead time required for supplies and deliveries.
[removed: Any sustained] interruption in the supply of these items, including as a result of general supply chain constraints, increasing demand outpacing supplies, or contractual disputes with suppliers or vendors, could adversely affect our business.
[removed: Slower] [added: Our business is impacted by general economic conditions, and adverse economic conditions arising from any slower] global economic growth, [added: reduced demand or consumer confidence, energy, manufacturing or component supply constraints arising from the Ukraine/Russia conflict or COVID-19 infection rates and remediation efforts, high inflation rates and the corresponding interest rate policies, volatility in currency and credit markets,] actual or anticipated default on sovereign debt, changes in global trade policies, [removed: volatility in the currency and credit markets, high levels of] unemployment and [removed: underemployment, inflation,] [added: underemployment rates,] reduced levels of capital expenditures, changes in government fiscal and monetary policies, government deficit reduction and budget negotiation dynamics, sequestration, other austerity measures, political and social instability, [removed: war,] [added: other geopolitical conflict,] sanctions, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and other challenges [removed: that] affect [removed: the global economy adversely affect] us and our distributors, customers, and suppliers, including having the effect of:
- increasing the risk of impairment of goodwill and other long-lived assets, and the risk that we may not be able to fully recover the value of other assets such as real estate and tax assets; [removed: and]
If growth in the global economy or in any of the markets we serve slows for a significant period, if there is significant deterioration in the global economy or such markets, if there is instability in global capital and credit markets, or if improvements in the global economy do not benefit the markets we serve, our business and financial statements [removed: could] [added: would] be adversely affected.
[added: In addition, in certain of our] businesses, demand depends on customers’ capital spending budgets, and product and economic cycles can affect the spending decisions of these entities.
Furthermore, the workforce shortage in the United States [removed: during the COVID-19 pandemic] [added: and in other jurisdictions] has increased the overall competitiveness and cost of [added: retaining and attracting qualified employees.]
[added: These systems may be] damaged, disrupted, [added: accessed,] or shut down due to attacks by computer hackers, nation states, cyber-criminals, computer viruses, [removed: employee] error or [removed: malfeasance,] [added: malfeasance by employee or former employees,] power outages, hardware failures, telecommunication or utility failures, catastrophes, or other [removed: unforeseen] [added: similar] events, and in any such circumstances our system redundancy and other disaster recovery planning may be ineffective or inadequate.
In addition, security breaches of our systems [added: or lack of sufficient control in our systems] (or the systems of our customers, suppliers or other business partners) could result in the misappropriation, [added: changes,] destruction, or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or personal data belonging to us or to our employees, partners, customers, or suppliers.
Like many multinational corporations, our information technology systems have been subject to computer viruses, malicious codes, unauthorized access, and other cyber-attacks and, although, as of December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] such attacks have not had a material impact on our operations or financial results, we expect to be subject to similar incidents in the future as such attacks become more sophisticated and frequent, any of which may have a material adverse impact on our business continuity, operations or financial results.
Adverse changes in our relationships with these distributors and other partners, or adverse developments in their [removed: financial condition, performance, or purchasing patterns, could adversely affect our financial statements.]
[removed: In recent years, we] [added: We] have [removed: implemented multiple,] [added: implemented, and may continue to implement] significant restructuring activities across our businesses to adjust our cost [removed: structure, and we may engage in similar restructuring activities in the future.][added: structure.]
These [added: significant] restructuring activities [removed: and] [added: as well as] our regular ongoing cost reduction activities (including in connection with the integration of acquired businesses) reduce our available talent, assets, and other resources and could slow improvements in our products and services, adversely affect our ability to respond to customers and limit our ability to increase production quickly if demand for our products increases.
[added: If any of these facilities, supply chains, or systems were to] experience a catastrophic loss, it could disrupt our operations, delay production and shipments, result in defective products or services, damage customer relationships and our reputation, and result in legal exposure and large repair or replacement expenses.
[removed: In addition, as a] result of such claims of infringement or misappropriation, we could lose our rights to critical technology, be unable to license critical technology or sell critical products and services, be required to pay substantial damages or license fees with respect to the infringed rights, or be required to redesign our products at substantial cost, any of which could adversely impact our competitive position and financial statements.
In [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] approximately [removed: 49%] [added: 46%] of our sales were derived from customers outside the United States.
- trade protection measures, [added: sanctions,] increased trade barriers, imposition of significant tariffs on imports or exports, embargoes, and import or export restrictions and requirements;
During [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] sales in China accounted for approximately 12% of our total sales for the year.
[removed: Increased strength] [added: Overall strengthening] of the U.S. dollar [removed: increases] [added: during most of fiscal year 2022 has increased] the effective price of our products sold in U.S. dollars into other countries, which may require us to lower our prices or adversely affect sales to the extent we do not increase local currency prices.
Sales and expenses of our non-U.S. businesses are also translated into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes and the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar could result in unfavorable translation [added: effects.]
We also face exchange rate risk from our investments in subsidiaries owned and operated in foreign [removed: countries.][added: countries and borrowings denominated in foreign currencies.]
[added: In most of these agreements, however, the] liability of the former owners is limited and certain former owners may be unable to meet their indemnification responsibilities.
In particular, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, and we operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to [added: some degree.]
We cannot assure you that our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposures to, hazardous substances will not exceed our estimates or adversely affect our reputation and financial statements [removed: or that we will not be subject to additional claims for personal injury or remediation in the future based on our past, present or future business activities.]
In particular, the General Data Protection Regulation became effective in [added: the European Union in May 2018 and the California Consumer Privacy Act became effective in January 2020.]
To varying degrees, these regulators require us to comply with laws and regulations governing the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, marketing, distribution, and post-marketing surveillance of our [removed: products; and][added: products.]
[removed: Failure to comply (or any alleged or perceived failure to comply) with the regulations referenced above or any other regulations could result in civil and criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties, and any such failure or alleged failure (or becoming subject to a regulatory enforcement] investigation) could also damage our reputation, disrupt our business, limit our ability to manufacture, import, export, and sell products and services, result in loss of customers and disbarment from selling to certain federal agencies and cause us to incur significant legal and investigatory fees.
Furthermore, changes in multilateral agreements and the tax laws of foreign jurisdictions could arise as a result of the base erosion and profit shifting project undertaken by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”) [added: and could significantly increase our tax provision, cash taxes paid, and effective tax rate.]
For example, in October 2021, OECD announced an agreed framework for an expansion of the taxing rights of market countries [removed: and to establish a global minimum corporate tax rate.]
We could incur significant liability if any of our separation from Danaher, our separation of our Automation and Specialty business or our separation of Vontier (collectively, the “Separation [removed: Transactions”) is] [added: Transactions”) is] determined to be a taxable transaction.
As of December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] the net carrying value of our goodwill and other intangible assets totaled approximately [removed: $13.0] [added: $12.5] billion.
As of December 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] we had approximately [removed: $4.0] [added: $3.3] billion of long-term debt, including the current portion of long-term debt, on a consolidated basis.
- the right of the Board to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval; [added: and]
- the ability of our directors, and not shareholders, to fill vacancies (including those resulting from an enlargement of the Board) on the [removed: Board; and][added: Board.]
However, these provisions will apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some shareholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that the Board [added: determines is not in the best interests of our company and our shareholders.]
- increasing the impact of currency translation; and

In addition, residual impact to global supply chain and transportation from the prior remediation efforts continue to impact the sourcing of raw materials, components and transportation for our products.
While the remediation efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic have subsided in most countries, including the United States, we continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of residual supply chain disruptions, inflation, and reduced in-person collaboration efforts.

or that we will not be subject to additional claims for personal injury or remediation in the future based on our past, present or future business activities.
Government authorities may conclude that our business practices do not comply with current or future statutes, regulations, agency guidance or case law.
Failure to obtain required regulatory clearances or approvals before marketing our products (or before implementing modifications to or promoting additional indications or uses of our products), other violations of laws or regulations, failure to remediate inspectional observations to the satisfaction of these regulatory authorities, and real or perceived efficacy or safety concerns or trends of adverse events with respect to our products (even after obtaining clearance for distribution) can lead to warning letters, notices to customers, declining sales, loss of customers, loss of market share, remediation and increased compliance costs, recalls, seizures, fines, expenses, injunctions, civil penalties, criminal penalties, consent decrees, administrative detentions, refusals to permit importations, partial or total shutdown of production facilities or the implementation of operating restrictions, narrowing of permitted uses for a product, refusal of the government to grant clearance, and suspension or withdrawal of approvals.
Further, defending against any such actions can be costly and time-consuming and may require significant personnel resources.
Therefore, even if we are successful in defending against any such actions brought against us, our business may be impaired; and
Failure to comply (or any alleged or perceived failure to comply) with the regulations referenced above or any other regulations could result in civil and criminal, monetary and non-monetary penalties, and any such failure or alleged failure (or becoming subject to a regulatory enforcement

Climate change, or legal or regulatory measures to address climate change, may negatively affect us.
Climate change resulting from increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could present risks to our operations.
Physical risk resulting from acute changes (such as hurricane, tornado, wildfire or flooding) or chronic changes (such as droughts, heat waves or sea level changes) in climate patterns can adversely impact our facilities and operations and disrupt our supply chains and distribution systems.
Concern over climate change can also result in new or additional legal or regulatory requirements designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and/or mitigate the effects of climate change on the environment (such as taxation of, or caps on the use of, carbon-based energy).
Any such new or additional legal or regulatory requirements may increase the costs associated with, or disrupt, sourcing, manufacturing and distribution of our products, which may adversely affect our business and financial statements.
In addition, any failure to adequately address stakeholder expectations with respect to environmental, social and governance matters may result in the loss of business, adverse reputational impacts, diluted market valuations and challenges in attracting and retaining customers and talented employees.

Our global operations expose us broadly to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, implementation of measures to help control the spread of the virus, including vaccine mandates, remote work policies, travel restrictions, and social distancing measures have negatively impacted our collaboration efforts with our global colleagues, customers, vendors, and service providers, and increased the risk and cost of workforce retention, protecting against cyber attacks and adequately sourcing raw materials, components and transportation for our products.
While we continue to implement global and local response teams, supply chain management and business continuity efforts internally and with our customers, suppliers, and vendors, the duration and extent of the operational and financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly uncertain.
The degree to which COVID-19 continues to impact us going forward will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and therefore cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, new variants, its severity, or the actions taken to contain the spread and impact of COVID-19, the broad acceptance, effectiveness, and distribution of vaccines, the overall vaccination rate in the relevant jurisdictions, continued impact on supply chain and transportation, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic, market, and operating conditions resume.
Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided as a public health matter, we may experience material adverse impacts to our business as a result of its adverse impact on the global economy, supply chain disruptions, inflation, in-person collaboration efforts, workforce dynamic, and consumer confidence.

*Russia Ukraine Conflict*
In February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine (“Russia Ukraine Conflict”) resulting in broad economic sanctions being imposed on Russia.
In the second quarter of 2022, the Company exited business operations in Russia, other than for ASP’s sterilization products, which are exempt from international sanctions as humanitarian products.
Our business in Russia and Ukraine accounted for less than 1.0% of total revenue and less than 0.2% of total assets for the year ended December 31, 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $17.9 million, primarily relating to the write-off of net assets, the write-off of the cumulative translation adjustment in earnings for legal entities deemed substantially liquidated, and to record provisions for employee severance and legal contingencies.
These costs are identified as the “Russia exit and wind down costs” in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Substantially all related liabilities were paid and settled during the year ended December 31, 2022.
*Non-GAAP Measures*
[Table](#ib4bee1c7b2074b6b8d434b54f955dc87_7) [of Contents](#ib4bee1c7b2074b6b8d434b54f955dc87_7)
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.
We experienced robust demand for our products and service during 2022 and despite challenging macroeconomic conditions and global supply chain constraints, aggregate year-over-year sales increased 10.9%, with contributions from both existing and newly acquired businesses, all partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates.
Year-over-year sales from existing businesses increased 10.1%, reflecting strong end-market demand for our offerings as well as focused execution on product and service delivery, and favorable pricing.
Geographically, year-over-year sales from existing businesses in developed markets increased low double-digits, with low double-digit growth in both North America and Western Europe, respectively.
Year-over-year sales from existing businesses in high growth markets increased low double-digits driven by low twenties growth in Latin America and low double-digit growth in China.
During 2022, price increases exceeded inflationary increases that we experienced on purchased materials.
The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies reduced our sales by 3.1% during 2022, as compared to 2021 and may continue to impact our results in future periods.
Widespread supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures persisted throughout the year resulting in higher costs in each of our three segments.
We continue to apply FBS to help mitigate the impact of these challenges and to serve our customers.
The COVID-19 pandemic, including the mitigation efforts and the accelerated spread of the virus in China, continues to adversely impact our results and creates operating challenges with logistics, material availability and absenteeism.
We anticipate that the disruptions caused by the pandemic will continue to impact future periods.
*2023 Outlook*
Despite an evolving macro environment and continued geopolitical conflict, we anticipate increasing demand for our offerings will continue and are projecting full year sales to grow on a year-over-year basis by approximately 2.0%-4.5% with year-over-year growth from existing businesses of approximately 3.0%-5.5%.
We expect that foreign exchange rates will remain volatile in 2023 and could create unfavorable results relative to foreign exchange rates in 2022.
Additionally, this outlook is subject to various assumptions and risks, including but not limited to the resilience and durability of the economies of the United States and other critical regions, ongoing challenges with global logistics and supply chains including the availability of electronic components, inflationary pressures, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of the Russia Ukraine Conflict, market conditions in key end product segments, elective surgery rates, and the impact of energy disruption in Europe.
In addition, we expect to execute discrete restructuring plans as well as our general, cost-saving measures to prepare for, and respond to, any material adverse global economic trends that may develop.

We continue to monitor the macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions which may impact our business, including spread of the COVID-19 virus, continued geopolitical conflict, global inflation, potential adverse global economic trends and sentiments, monetary and fiscal policies, international trade and relations between the U.S., China and other nations, and investment and taxation policy initiatives being considered in the United States and by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”).
*Therapy Physics Divestiture*
On September 30, 2022, we completed the sale of our Therapy Physics product line, which was reported in our Advanced Healthcare Solutions segment, to an unrelated third party for cash consideration of $9.6 million.
As a result of the sale, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a net realized pre-tax gain totaling $0.5 million, net of transaction costs, which is recorded as “Other non-operating expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
The divested business accounted for less than 1.0% of total revenue and less than 0.3% of total assets for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The divestiture of this product line did not represent a strategic shift with a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and therefore the divested product line is not reported as a discontinued operation.

Additionally, during the first quarter of 2021 we recognized a gain of $57.0 million related to the subsequent change in the fair value of the Retained Vontier Shares.
Other Acquisition-related Matters
On April 1, 2019 (the “Principal Closing Date”), we acquired the advanced sterilization products business (“ASP”) of Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation.
During 2019, we acquired Censis Technologies (“Censis”).
[Table](#ib4bee1c7b2074b6b8d434b54f955dc87_7) [of Contents](#ib4bee1c7b2074b6b8d434b54f955dc87_7)
- The year-over-year net effect of acquisition-related transaction costs which were lower during 2022 — favorable 65 basis points
[Table of Conten](#i207805ce14724a60909000a6c8cb9e11_7)[t](#i207805ce14724a60909000a6c8cb9e11_7)[s](#i207805ce14724a60909000a6c8cb9e11_7)
Overall demand for our products and services accelerated during 2021, with aggregate year-over-year sales increasing by 13.4%.
The increase was largely driven by demand from our existing businesses, which increased by 9.5% on broad-based momentum and focused execution across our portfolio, most notably within our short-cycle industrial and software as a service (“SaaS”) businesses.
[Table of Conten](#i207805ce14724a60909000a6c8cb9e11_7)[t](#i207805ce14724a60909000a6c8cb9e11_7)[s](#i207805ce14724a60909000a6c8cb9e11_7)
During 2021, widespread supply chain challenges emerged due to labor, raw material, and component shortages, as well as logistics issues, across multiple industries, resulting in increased material and shipping costs.
We worked to mitigate the impact of the supply chain challenges by implementing solutions to support near-term operations, executing on countermeasures for material shortages, and managing production, all of which contributed to year-over-year revenue growth and margin expansion in 2021.
However, due to the magnitude of the supply chain and logistics issues impacting the economy broadly and those related to electronic components in particular, demand for our products outpaced our ability to supply, and our backlog grew in the second half of 2021.
COVID-19 continues to have an impact on our business and results.
In 2020, we experienced significant declines in demand as a result of broad disruption in the global economy.
In 2021, we experienced a rebound of demand but also encountered operating challenges related to logistics, material availability and higher levels of absenteeism.
We expect that the pandemic and its impact on global commerce will remain uncertain and we will continue to deploy FBS to countermeasure the challenges we encounter.
We anticipate the strong demand for our products and services will continue into 2022 with year-over-year revenue expected to increase between 9.0% and 12.0% for the full year, including growth from existing businesses of between 5.5% and 8.5% on anticipated strong demand in key end markets and continued deployment of FBS to drive share gains and innovation.
This outlook is subject to various assumptions and risks, including but not limited to, the magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on macroeconomic conditions, continued strength of key end markets, elective surgery rates, the availability of electronic components, our ability to convert backlog, sustain our workforce levels and maintain manufacturing capacity.
We anticipate that supply chain and inflationary pressures will persist throughout 2022 and that although our backlog may decline compared to 2021, it may remain elevated compared to historical levels.
We are monitoring the risks of new COVID-19 variants which may be more contagious or severe, or less responsive to treatment and vaccines, and may impact the rate that virus control measures ease or become more restrictive, which could impact our future results.
We are monitoring matters of international trade, monetary and fiscal policies, relations between the U.S. and China, as well as evaluating the impacts of proposed legislation and various investment and taxation policy initiatives being debated 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, however, unable to quantify the anticipated impact of these matters on our financial results.

and was primarily financed with proceeds from our financing activities and available cash.
2019
*Advanced Sterilization Products Acquisition*
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”), subject to certain post-closing adjustments set forth in a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated effective as of June 6, 2018, 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 close when requirements of country-specific agreements or regulatory approvals are satisfied.
[Table of Conten](#i207805ce14724a60909000a6c8cb9e11_7)[t](#i207805ce14724a60909000a6c8cb9e11_7)[s](#i207805ce14724a60909000a6c8cb9e11_7)
The $2.7 billion purchase price was paid in exchange for ASP’s businesses in both Principal and Non-Principal Countries.
As of December 31, 2021 we have closed all Principal Countries and all Non-Principal Countries.
All of the provisional goodwill associated with the Transaction is included in goodwill in our Advanced Healthcare Solutions segment at December 31, 2021, and the majority of the provisional goodwill is tax deductible.
In addition, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with Johnson & Johnson for certain administrative and operational services (“TSA”) with Principal Countries 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 December 31, 2021, ASP had exited the TSAs and substantially all of the distribution agreements.
*Other Acquisitions and Investments*
In addition to the acquisition of ASP, during 2019, we acquired Intelex Technologies and Pruftechnik, both of which complement existing businesses in our Intelligent Operation Solutions segment, and Censis Technologies within our Advanced Healthcare Solutions segment, for total consideration of $1.2 billion in cash, net of cash acquired.
We recorded an aggregate of $781 million of goodwill related to these acquisitions.
*Combination of the Tektronix Video Business with Telestream*
On July 20, 2019, we completed the combination of the Tektronix Video test and monitoring equipment business (“Tektronix Video Business”) with Telestream, LLC (the “Combined Business”), a portfolio company of Genstar Capital LLC.

Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (“IDE”) are core pillars of our strategy and culture.
We accelerated the impact of IDE in 2022 by introducing our new inclusive leader experience to our senior leaders across the organization.
This development experience provides the tools and support to build an inclusive culture and prepares leaders to lead diverse high-performing teams.
We also continued to expand the impact of our Employee Friends and Resources Groups (“EFRG’s”) to increase inclusion and belonging within and for our underrepresented communities.
To drive FBS, continuous improvement and IDE accountability at all levels of our organization, our VP, Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity works closely with our senior management, our IDE Council, and our IDE practitioners.
We also cascade annual IDE goals into executive and senior leader performance measures.
Additionally, our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee oversee our IDE efforts as part of our People strategy and measurement actions.

- Conditions in the global economy, the markets we serve, and the financial markets may adversely affect our business and financial statements.

- We face intense competition and if we are unable to compete effectively, we may experience decreased demand and decreased market share.
Even if we compete effectively, we may be required to reduce prices for our products and services.

- Our restructuring activities could have long-term adverse effects on our business.
- Work stoppages, works council campaigns, and other labor disputes could adversely impact our productivity and results of operations.
- If we suffer loss to our facilities, supply chains, distribution systems, or information technology systems due to catastrophe or other events, our operations could be seriously harmed.
- If we do not or cannot adequately protect our intellectual property, or if third parties infringe our intellectual property rights, we may suffer competitive injury or expend significant resources enforcing our rights.
- Third parties may claim that we are infringing or misappropriating their intellectual property rights and we could suffer significant litigation expenses, losses, or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products or services.
- We are subject to a variety of litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings in the course of our business that could adversely affect our financial statements.
- Climate change, or legal or regulatory measure to address climate change, may negatively affect us.

| *Description of the Matter* | | | Valuation of Goodwill The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. To estimate the fair value, management uses a market approach based on multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). In certain circumstances, management computes the estimated fair value through a discounted cash flow analysis to validate the results of the market approach. The goodwill evaluation is performed on an annual basis, or more frequently if a triggering event is identified. As described in Note 7, the Company’s goodwill balance is [removed: $9.2] [added: $9.0] billion as of December 31, [removed: 2021.] [added: 2022.] Auditing the Company’s annual goodwill impairment assessment is complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the fair value of the reporting units. In particular, the estimated fair value is sensitive to the significant assumptions related to the selection of market multiples and projected financial information. A high degree of audit judgment and an increased extent of effort including the need to involve our fair value specialists was required. | | |

Russia Ukraine Conflict
In February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine (“Russia Ukraine Conflict”) resulting in broad economic sanctions being imposed on Russia.
In the second quarter of 2022, the Company exited business operations in Russia, other than for ASP’s sterilization products, which are exempt from international sanctions as humanitarian products.
Our business in Russia and Ukraine accounted for less than 1% of total revenue and less than 0.2% of total assets for the year ended December 31, 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $17.9 million, primarily relating to the write-off of net assets, the write-off of the cumulative translation adjustment in earnings for legal entities deemed substantially liquidated, and to record provisions for employee severance and legal contingencies.
These costs are identified as the “Russia exit and wind down costs” in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Substantially all related liabilities were paid and settled during the year ended December 31, 2022.

The assets and revenues of the Acquired Businesses excluded from management’s assessment of internal controls constituted 1% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2021 and 1% of the Company’s total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

As indicated in the accompanying Report of Management on Fortive Corporation’s Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of ServiceChannel and Provation, collectively the “Acquired Businesses”, which are included in the 2021 consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Collectively, the Acquired Businesses constituted 1% of the Company’s total assets as of December 31, 2021 and 1% of the Company’s total revenues for the year then ended.
Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of the Acquired Businesses.

| *Description of the Matter* | | | Valuation of acquired intangible assets As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed two acquisitions during 2021 for a total consideration of $2.6 billion. Auditing the accounting for the acquisitions was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required in determining the fair value of customer relationships, technology, database and trade names acquired (collectively, “intangible assets”), which totaled $792 million in aggregate. In particular, the estimated fair values were sensitive to significant assumptions such as the projected financial information, royalty rates and discount rates used in the valuation models, which are affected by expectations about future market and economic conditions. | | |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | We tested controls over the measurement of the acquired intangible assets, including management’s review of the significant assumptions mentioned above and the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the measurements. To test the estimated fair value of the intangible assets, we read the related purchase agreements, evaluated, among other things, whether (1) the valuation methodologies used were appropriate, (2) the significant assumptions, including discount rates, royalty rates, revenue growth rates, and projected free cash flow, used in valuing these intangibles were reasonable, and (3) the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses was appropriate. Specifically, when evaluating the assumptions related to the projected free cash flow, we compared the assumptions to the past performance of the acquired entities, the Company's history related to similar acquisitions, and the Company’s future plans for the acquired entities. We involved our fair value specialists to assist in our completion of our audit procedures. We also evaluated the Company’s disclosures included in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements in relation to these matters. | | |

*Disclosure Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934*
Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act requires an issuer to disclose certain information in its periodic reports if it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings with individuals or entities subject to specific U.S. economic sanctions during the reporting period, even when the activities, transactions, or dealings are conducted in compliance with applicable law.
On March 2, 2021, the U.S. government designated the Russian Federal Security Service (the “FSB”) as a blocked party under Executive Order 13382.
On the same day, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control issued General License No. 1B (the “OFAC General License”), which generally authorizes U.S. companies to engage in certain transactions and dealings with the FSB necessary and ordinarily incident to requesting or obtaining licenses, permits, certifications or notifications issued or registered by the FSB for the importation, distribution or use of information technology products in Russia.
As a result, Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act now requires disclosure of dealings with FSB, even where the activities were conducted in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
As permitted and authorized by the OFAC General License with respect to ASP's sterilization products that are exempt from international sanctions as humanitarian products, certain of the Company's subsidiaries for the ASP operations may file notifications with, or apply for import licenses and permits from, the FSB as required pursuant to Russian encryption product import controls for the purpose of enabling such subsidiaries or their channel partners to import and distribute ASP's sterilization products in the Russian Federation.
There are no gross revenues or net profits directly associated with these activities with the FSB, and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries distribute or sell products or provide services to the FSB.
Not applicable.
