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

OVERVIEW

The following discussion is intended to further the reader’s understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of our Company. It should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) as well as Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2024 Annual Report. Our historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains a number of forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

Throughout this section, references to “Notes” refer to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, unless otherwise indicated.

Non-U.S. GAAP Financial Measures

For the purpose of aiding the comparison of our year-over-year results, we may refer to net sales and other financial results excluding the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Organic net sales exclude the impact from acquisitions and/or divestitures and translate the current-period reported sales of subsidiaries whose functional currency is other than USD at the applicable foreign exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period. We may also refer to adjusted consolidated operating profit and adjusted consolidated operating profit margin, which exclude the effects of unallocated items. The unallocated items are not representative of ongoing operations, and generally include restructuring and related charges, certain asset impairments, and other specifically-identified income or expense items. The re-measured results excluding effects from currency translation, the impact from acquisitions and/or divestitures, and excluding the effects of unallocated items are not in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and should not be used as a substitute for the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. The non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are incorporated in our discussion and analysis as management uses them in evaluating our results of operations and believes that this information provides users with a valuable insight into our overall performance and financial position.

Macroeconomic Factors

In recent months, the U.S. government has imposed additional tariffs and trade restrictions on certain goods produced outside of the United States. In response to these actions, certain jurisdictions, including China, Mexico, Canada and the European Union, have imposed or are considering imposing tariffs and restrictions on certain goods produced in the United States. We continue to monitor this dynamic situation to assess the impact of these tariffs on our business and actions we can take to minimize their impact. Based on the information available at this time, we do not believe the impact will be material to our 2025 results.

We have operations based in Israel that conduct research and development activities and manufacture certain components for our devices. Our Israel-based facilities continue to substantially operate as they had prior to the conflict in Israel and surrounding area. We continue to monitor the impact of the conflict in Israel and surrounding areas on our operations and those of our suppliers, the possible expansion of such conflict and potential geopolitical consequences, if any, on our business and operations.

Also excluded are items that we consider not representative of ongoing operations. Such items are referred to as other unallocated items for which further information can be found above in the reconciliation from U.S. GAAP to non-U.S. GAAP financial measures.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities – Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to favorable working capital management, offset by less favorable operating results.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $19.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, due to a decrease in capital expenditures.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities – Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $124.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in purchases under our share repurchase programs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The table below presents selected liquidity and capital measures:

($ in millions)			March 31, 2025						December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents			$	404.2					$	484.6
Accounts receivable, net			$	543.6					$	552.5
Inventories			$	388.7					$	377.0
Accounts payable			$	228.4					$	239.3
Debt			$	202.6					$	202.6
Equity			$	2,683.1					$	2,682.3
Working capital			$	930.8					$	987.7

Cash and cash equivalents include all instruments that have maturities of ninety days or less when purchased. Working capital is defined as current assets less current liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents – Our cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2025 consisted of cash held in depository accounts with banks around the world and cash invested in high-quality, short-term investments. The cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 2025 included $44.6 million of cash held by subsidiaries within the U.S., and $359.6 million of cash held by subsidiaries outside of the U.S. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we purchased 550,281 shares of our common stock under the share repurchase program at a cost of $133.5 million, or an average price of $242.63 per share.

Working capital – Working capital at March 31, 2025 decreased by $56.9 million, or 5.8%, as compared to December 31, 2024, which includes a favorable foreign currency translation impact of $15.3 million. Excluding the impact of currency exchange rates, cash and cash equivalents, total current liabilities and accounts receivable decreased by $89.1 million, $35.2 million and $17.6 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to share repurchases and capital expenditures, offset by cash from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in total current liabilities was primarily driven by reductions in accounts payable and income taxes payable, as well as the payout of the 2024 annual incentive plan accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2025 . The decrease in accounts receivable is primarily due to decreased net sales leading up to the March 31, 2025 balance sheet date as compared to the December 31, 2024 balance sheet date.

Debt and credit facilities – The total debt balance of $202.6 million at March 31, 2025 is consistent with the total debt balance at December 31, 2024.

Our sources of liquidity include our multi-currency revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under the multi-currency revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2025, the borrowing capacity available under the multi-currency revolving credit facility, including outstanding letters of credit of $2.3 million, was $497.7 million. We do not expect any significant limitations on our ability to access this source of funds.

Pursuant to the financial covenants in our debt agreements, we are required to maintain established interest coverage ratios and not to exceed established leverage ratios. In addition, the agreements contain other customary covenants, none of which we consider restrictive to our operations. At March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.

We believe that cash on hand and cash generated from operations, together with availability under our multi-currency revolving credit facility, will be adequate to address our foreseeable liquidity needs based on our current expectations of our business operations, capital expenditures and scheduled payments of debt obligations.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

A summary of future material cash payments resulting from commitments and contractual obligations was provided in our 2024 Annual Report. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our commitments and contractual obligations.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

At March 31, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet financing arrangements other than unconditional purchase obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business and outstanding letters of credit related to various insurance programs, as noted in our 2024 Annual Report.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our disclosure and analysis in this Form 10-Q contains some forward-looking statements that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates and forecasts. We also provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public, as well as oral forward-looking statements. Such statements provide our current expectations or forecasts of future events. They do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We have attempted, wherever possible, to identify forward-looking statements by using words such as “plan,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue” and other words of similar meaning in conjunction with, among other things, discussions of future operations and financial performance, as well as our strategy for growth, product development, market position and expenditures. All statements that address operating performance or events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future - including statements relating to sales and earnings per share growth, cash flows or uses, and statements expressing views about future operating results - are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events. The forward-looking statements are, and will be, based on management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and speak only as of their dates. Investors should realize that, if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from our expectations and projections. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

The following are some important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations in any forward-looking statements:

• sales demand and our ability to meet that demand;

• competition from other providers in our businesses, including customers’ in-house operations, and from lower-cost producers in emerging markets, which can impact unit volume, price and profitability;

• customers’ changing inventory requirements and manufacturing plans that alter existing orders or ordering patterns for the products we supply to them;

• interruptions or weaknesses in our supply chain, including from reasons beyond our control such as extreme weather, longer-term climate changes, natural disasters, pandemic, war, accidental damage, or unauthorized access to our or our customers’ information and systems, which could cause delivery delays or restrict the availability of raw materials, key purchased components and finished products;

• the timing, regulatory approval and commercial success of customer products that incorporate our products and systems;

• whether customers agree to incorporate our products and delivery systems with their new and existing drug products, the ultimate timing and successful commercialization of those products and systems, which involves substantial evaluations of the functional, operational, clinical and economic viability of our products, and the rate, timing and success of regulatory approval for the drug products that incorporate our components and systems;

• the timely and adequate availability of filling capacity, which is essential to conducting definitive stability trials and the timing of first commercialization of customers’ products in Crystal Zenith prefilled syringes;

• profitability, or mix, of the products sold in any reporting period, including lower-than-expected sales growth of our high-value proprietary product offerings;

• maintaining or improving production efficiencies and overhead absorption;

• dependence on third-party suppliers and partners, some of which are single-source suppliers of critical materials and products, including our Japanese partner and affiliate, Daikyo;

• the loss of key personnel or highly-skilled employees;

Table of Contents

• the availability and cost of skilled employees required to meet increased production, managerial, research and other needs, including professional employees and persons employed under collective bargaining agreements;

• the successful and timely implementation of price increases necessary to offset rising production costs, including raw material prices, particularly petroleum-based raw materials;

• the cost and progress of development, regulatory approval and marketing of new products;

• our ability to obtain and maintain licenses in any jurisdiction in which we do business;

• the relative strength of USD in relation to other currencies, particularly the Euro, SGD, the Danish Krone, Yen, Colombian Peso, Brazilian Real, and the South Korean Won; and

• the potential adverse effects of global healthcare legislation on customer demand, product pricing and profitability.

This list sets forth many, but not all, of the factors that could affect our ability to achieve results described in any forward-looking statements. Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all of the factors and should not consider this list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. For further discussion of these and other factors, see the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2024 Annual Report as well as Part II, section 1A of this quarterly report.

Except as required by law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
