MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the framework established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). As a result of this assessment and based on the criteria in the COSO framework, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes and financial statement schedule, of Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework(2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill Impairment Assessments - Interventional Urology North America Reporting Unit

As described in Notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance was $2,632.3 million as of December 31, 2024, of which $403.9 million relates to the Interventional Urology North America (IU) reporting unit. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. As disclosed by management, under a quantitative impairment test, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to the carrying value. The fair value of the reporting unit is calculated using a combination of two methods; one which estimates the discounted cash flows of the reporting unit based on projected earnings in the future (the Income Approach) and one which is based on revenue and EBITDA of similar businesses to those of the reporting unit in actual transactions (the Market Approach). If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit carrying value exceeds the fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the amount the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. During the second quarter, management identified indicators of a potential impairment related to the IU reporting unit. The indicators of a potential impairment primarily arose from lower than anticipated sales results from the UroLift product line, primarily driven by the adverse impact of persistent end-market challenges within the U.S. office site of service. Management performed a quantitative impairment test of the reporting unit and determined that the fair value of the IU reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. In connection with preparing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, management performed the annual impairment test for goodwill and determined that the carrying value of the IU reporting unit exceeded its fair value and the Company recognized an impairment charge of $240 million. The more significant judgments and assumptions in determining the fair value of the IU reporting unit for the 2024 impairment assessments included revenue growth rates, the projected operating margins, and the discount rate.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessments of the IU reporting unit is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimates of the IU reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to revenue growth rates, the projected operating margins, and the discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessments, including controls over the valuation of the IU reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates of the IU reporting unit. Testing management’s process included (i) evaluating the appropriateness of the income and market approaches; (ii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the income and market approaches; and (iii) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to revenue growth rates, the projected operating margins, and the discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to revenue growth rates and the projected operating margins involved considering the current and past performance of the IU reporting unit, the consistency with external market and industry data, and whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the income and market approaches and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount rate assumption.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(all tabular amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted)

Note 1 —Summary of significant accounting policies

Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries (referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our” and “Teleflex"). Intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and reflect management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts.

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents: All highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates the current market value.

Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers related to the sale of products and provision of services. Our allowance for credit losses is maintained for trade accounts receivable based on the expected collectability of accounts receivable and losses expected to be incurred over the life of our receivables. Considerations to determine credit losses include our historical collection experience, the length of time an account is outstanding, the financial position of the customer, information provided by credit rating services, as well as the consideration of events or circumstances indicating historic collection rates may not be indicative of future collectability. The allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $10.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively. The current portion of the allowance for credit losses, which was $6.1 million and $5.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, was recognized as a reduction of accounts receivable, net.

Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of our inventories is determined using the first in, first out cost method. Elements of cost in inventory include raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. In estimating net realizable value, we evaluate inventory for excess and obsolete quantities based on estimated usage and sales, among other factors.

Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Costs incurred to develop internal-use computer software during the application development stage generally are capitalized. Costs of enhancements to internal-use computer software are capitalized, provided that these enhancements result in additional functionality. Other additions and improvements that increase the capacity or lengthen the useful lives of the assets are also capitalized. Composite useful lives for categories of property, plant and equipment, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis, are as follows: buildings -30 years; machinery and equipment -3 to 15 years; computer equipment and software -3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful lives of the leasehold improvements or the remaining lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and other intangible assets: Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. Impairment losses, if any, are included in income from operations. The goodwill impairment test is applied to each of our reporting units. For purposes of this assessment, a reporting unit is an operating segment, or a business one level below an operating segment (also known as a component) if discrete financial information is prepared for that business and regularly reviewed by segment management. However, separate components are aggregated as a single reporting unit if they have similar economic characteristics.

In performing the goodwill impairment test, we may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for our products and services, regulatory and political developments, and entity specific factors such as strategies and financial performance. If, after completing the qualitative assessment, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we proceed to a quantitative impairment test, described below. Alternatively, we may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative impairment test. Under a quantitative impairment test, we compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. If the reporting unit fair value exceeds the carrying value, there is no impairment. If the reporting unit carrying value exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment loss based on the amount the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $240 million related to our Interventional Urology North America reporting unit. For further information refer to Note 8.

Our intangible assets consist of customer relationships, intellectual property, distribution rights, in-process research and development ("IPR&D"), trade names and non-competition agreements. We define IPR&D as the value of technology acquired for which the related projects have substance and are incomplete. IPR&D acquired in a business acquisition is recognized at fair value and is required to be capitalized as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion of the IPR&D project or upon abandonment. Upon completion of the development project (generally when regulatory approval to market the product that utilizes the technology is obtained), an impairment assessment is performed prior to amortizing the asset over its estimated useful life. If the IPR&D projects are abandoned, the related IPR&D assets would be written off.

We test our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. Similar to the goodwill impairment test process, we may elect to perform a qualitative assessment. If, after completing the qualitative assessment, we determine it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, the asset is not impaired. If we conclude it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than the carrying value, we then proceed to a quantitative impairment test, which consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying amount.

Intangible assets that do not have indefinite lives, consisting of intellectual property, customer relationships, distribution rights, certain trade names and non-competition agreements, are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which are as follows: intellectual property,8 to 20 years; customer relationships,8 to 27 years; distribution rights,10 years; trade names,15 to 30 years. The weighted average remaining amortization period with respect to our intangible assets is approximately 12 years. We periodically evaluate the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets.

Long-lived assets: We assess the remaining useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The assessment is based on various analyses, including undiscounted cash flow and profitability projections that incorporate, as applicable, the impact of the asset on the existing business. Therefore, the evaluation involves significant management judgment. Any impairment loss, if indicated, is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.

Foreign currency translation: Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with non-United States dollar denominated functional currencies are translated into United States dollars at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date; income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Derivative financial instruments: We use derivative financial instruments primarily for purposes of hedging exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. All instruments are entered into for other than trading purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as other comprehensive income (loss), if the instrument is designated as part of a hedge transaction. Gains or losses on derivative instruments reported in other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to the Consolidated Statement of Income in the period in which earnings are affected by the underlying hedged item. Gains or losses on derivative instruments representing hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, if any, are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the period in which such gains and losses occur. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective or it becomes probable that an expected transaction will no longer occur, gains or losses on the derivative instrument are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the period in which either such event occurs. For non-designated derivatives, gains and losses are reported as selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Cash flows from derivatives are recognized in the consolidated statements of cash flows in a manner consistent with the recognition of the underlying transactions.

Share-based compensation: We estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest, which is derived, in part, following consideration of estimated forfeitures, is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods. Share-based compensation expense related to stock options is measured using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account subjective and complex assumptions with respect to the expected life of the options, volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend yield. The expected life of options granted is derived from the vesting period of the award, as well as historical exercise behavior, and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Expected volatility is based on a blend of historical volatility and implied volatility derived from publicly traded options to purchase our common stock, which we believe is more reflective of market conditions and a better indicator of expected volatility than would be the case if we only used historical volatility. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield currently available on United States (or "U.S.") Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant based on management’s expectations regarding the extent to which awards ultimately will vest and are adjusted for actual forfeitures when they occur.

Income taxes: The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to reflect the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases, and to reflect operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Provision has been made for income taxes on unremitted earnings of subsidiaries and affiliates, except to the extent that such earnings are deemed to be permanently reinvested.

Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and in evaluating tax positions. We establish additional provisions for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum probability threshold, which is a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. In the normal course of business, we are examined by various federal, state and non-U.S. tax authorities. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. Interest accrued with respect to unrecognized tax benefits and income tax related penalties are both included in taxes on income from continuing operations. We periodically assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjust the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to an adjustment become known.

Pensions and other postretirement benefits: We provide a range of benefits to eligible employees and retired employees, including benefits available pursuant to pension and postretirement healthcare benefits plans. We record annual amounts relating to these plans based on calculations which include various actuarial assumptions such as discount rates, expected rates of return on plan assets, compensation increases, turnover rates and healthcare cost trend rates. We review our actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when appropriate. The effect of the modifications is generally amortized over future periods.

Restructuring costs: We primarily recognize employee termination benefits when payment becomes probable and reasonably estimable because they are provided under an ongoing benefit arrangement and are based on existing plans, historical experience and negotiated settlements of prior plans. Termination benefits provided under one-time termination benefits arrangements, if any, are recognized upon communication to the employee. We recognize charges ratably over the future service period if the employee is required to render service until termination. Other restructuring costs may include facility closure, employee relocation, equipment relocation and outplacement costs and are recognized in the period they are incurred.

Contingent consideration related to business acquisitions: In connection with business acquisitions, we may be required to pay future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of specified objectives such as receipt of regulatory approval, commercialization of a product or achievement of sales targets. In a business combination, we record a contingent liability, as of the acquisition date, representing the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration that we expect to pay. We remeasure the fair value of our contingent consideration arrangements each reporting period and, based on new developments, record changes in fair value until either the contingent consideration obligation is satisfied through payment upon the achievement of, or the obligation no longer exists due to the failure to achieve, the specified objectives. The change in the fair value is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. A contingent consideration payment is classified as a financing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows to the extent it was recorded as a liability as of the acquisition date. Any additional amount paid in excess of the amount initially accrued is classified as an operating activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

If the transaction is determined to be an asset acquisition rather than a business combination, a contingent consideration liability is recognized when the specified objective is deemed probable and is estimable.

Revenue recognition: We primarily generate revenue from the sale of medical devices including single use disposable devices and, to a lesser extent, reusable devices, instruments and capital equipment. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; this occurs upon the transfer of control of the products. Generally, transfer of control to the customer occurs at the point in time when our products are shipped from the manufacturing or distribution facility. For the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer and Development Services) product category, included within our Americas segment, most revenue is recognized over time because OEM generates revenue from the sale of custom products that have no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment to the extent that performance has been completed. We market and sell products through our direct sales force and distributors to customers within the following end markets: (1) hospitals and healthcare providers; (2) other medical device manufacturers; and (3) home care providers, which represented 87%,11% and 2% of our consolidated net revenues, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. With respect to the custom products sold in the OEM, revenue is measured using the units produced output method. Payment is generally due 30 days from the date of invoice.

We have made the following revenue accounting policy elections and elected to use certain practical expedients: (1) we account for amounts collected from customers for sales and other taxes, net of related amounts remitted to tax authorities; (2) we do not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component because, at contract inception, we expect the period between the time when we transfer a promised good or service to the customer and the time when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less; (3) we expense costs to obtain a contract as they are incurred if the expected period of benefit, and therefore the amortization period, is one year or less; (4) we account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control transfers to the customer as a fulfillment cost rather than an additional promised service; (5) we classify shipping and handling costs within cost of goods sold; and (6) with respect to OEM, we have applied the practical expedient to exclude disclosure of remaining performance obligations as the contracts typically have a term of one year or less.

The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies as a result of changes in customer sales incentives, including discounts and rebates, and returns offered to customers. The estimate of revenue is adjusted upon the earlier of the following events: (i) the most likely amount of consideration expected to be received changes or (ii) the consideration becomes fixed. Our policy is to accept returns only in cases in which the product is defective and covered under our standard warranty provisions. When we give customers the right to return products, we estimate the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The liability for returns and allowances, which includes liabilities established related to the Italian payback matter discussed in Note 17, was $41.7 million and $22.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In estimating customer rebates, we consider the lag time between the point of sale and the payment of the customer’s rebate claim, customer-specific trend analyses, contractual commitments, including stated rebate rates, historical experience with respect to specific customers (as we have a history of providing similar rebates on similar products to similar customers) and other relevant information. The reserve for customer incentive programs, including customer rebates, was $24.9 million and $26.7 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We expect the amounts subject to the reserve as of December 31, 2024 to be paid within 90 days subsequent to period-end.

Leases: We determine whether a contract is, or includes, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. To determine the present value we use an incremental borrowing rate derived from information available at lease commencement.

We have made an accounting policy election not to apply the lease accounting recognition provisions to short term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise); instead, we will recognize the lease payments for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have made an accounting policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components and instead will account for each separate lease component and the non-lease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.

Note 2 —Recently issued accounting standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued new guidance designed to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses per segment. We adopted the new standard for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 using a retrospective transition approach. Additional information and disclosures required by the new guidance are provided in Note 18.

In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance designed to improve income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through increased disaggregation disclosures within the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as enhanced disclosures on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The new standard can be adopted on a prospective basis with an option to be adopted retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance designed to enhance disclosures regarding the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The guidance requires tabular disclosures that disaggregate information about prescribed expense categories within relevant income statement expense captions. The guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The new standard can be adopted on a prospective basis with an option to be adopted retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules that require registrants to include certain climate-related disclosures in registration statements and annual reports. The required disclosures include information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks will also include disclosure of a registrant's greenhouse gas emissions and will require registrants to present certain climate-related financial disclosures in their audited financial statements. The rules were to be effective for all fiscal years beginning in 2025. However, following the adoption of the rules, challenges to the rules were brought in six federal appellate courts. These challenges were consolidated for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Additional cases have been filed since the consolidation order. On April 4, 2024, the SEC announced that it had stayed the rules pending the completion of judicial review of the consolidated Eighth Circuit petitions. The SEC has further stated that it plans to designate a new effective date and phase-in period for the implementation of the rules at the conclusion of the stay, though this would occur only if the SEC prevails in the ongoing legal proceedings. We plan to monitor the status of these rules, and, as appropriate, to evaluate the rules to determine their impact on our consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting guidance issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies is adopted as of the specified effective date or, when permitted by the guidance and as determined by us, as of an earlier date. We have assessed recently issued guidance that is not yet effective, except as noted above, and believe the new guidance that we have assessed will not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Note 4 —Acquisitions

2023 acquisition

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we completed the acquisition of Palette Life Sciences AB (“Palette”), a privately held medical device company that sells a portfolio of hyaluronic acid gel-based products primarily utilized in the treatment of urology diseases including a rectal spacing product used in connection with radiation therapy treatment of prostate cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired Palette for an initial cash payment of $594.9 million, with the potential to maketwo milestone payments up to $50 million in the aggregate if certain commercial milestones are met. The milestone payments are based on net sales growth over thetwo-year period beginning January 1, 2024.

The fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed resulted in the recognition of $355.1 million of goodwill, $264.0 million of intellectual property, $40.5 million of trade name assets and $29.0 million of customer relationship assets. The fair value of the asset acquired reflects a modification in the third quarter of 2024 to our allocation of the intangible assets acquired between our domestic and foreign entities as we identified new facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. As a result, we recorded a measurement period adjustment recognizing a $2.0 million decrease in the deferred tax liabilities and goodwill. The allocation change also impacted the currency translation of certain assets and liabilities and as a result, we reversed previously recorded foreign currency translation of $19.7 million, which decreased comprehensive income in the period. The adjustment did not have a significant impact on our results from operations.

We have not reached an agreement on the closing statement adjustments with the seller. However, the measurement period related to this acquisition expired during the fourth quarter of 2024, and as a result, any subsequent adjustments to the consideration transferred will be recognized in the reporting period in which they are settled.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial presentation of Net income and Earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, gives effect to the Palette acquisition as if it was completed at the beginning of the earliest period presented. Revenues are not significant to the periods presented and have not been included.

Note 5 —Restructuring and other impairment charges

2024 Restructuring plan

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we initiated the "2024 restructuring plan," a strategic restructuring plan aimed at optimizing operations, reducing costs and enhancing efficiencies across our business lines, and includes the relocation of select office administrative operations. We estimate that we will incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring charges of $6 million to $7 million consisting primarily of termination benefits. In addition, we expect to incur $3 million to $4 million in restructuring related charges, most of which are expected to be recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect this plan will be substantially completed by the end of 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $0.2 million in restructuring related charges in connection with the 2024 restructuring plan, substantially all of which was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses.

2024 Footprint realignment plan

During the second quarter of 2024, we initiated the "2024 Footprint realignment plan," encompassing several strategic restructuring initiatives. These initiatives primarily include the relocation of select manufacturing operations to existing lower-cost locations, the optimization of specific product portfolios through targeted rationalization efforts, the relocation of certain integral product development and manufacturing support functions, the optimization of certain supply chain activities and related workforce reductions. The actions under the 2024 Footprint realignment plan are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2025.

The following table provides a summary of the cost estimates by major type of expense associated with the 2024 Footprint realignment plan:

Total estimated amount expected to be incurred
Plan expense estimates:(Dollars in millions)
Restructuring charges (1)$16 million to $20 million
Restructuring related charges (2)$21 million to $26 million
Total restructuring and restructuring related charges$37 million to $46 million

(1) Substantially all of the charges consist of employee termination benefit cost.

(2) Consists of pre-tax charges related to accelerated depreciation and other costs directly related to the plan, primarily project management costs and costs to relocate manufacturing operations and support functions to the new locations. Substantially all of the charges are expected to be recognized within costs of goods sold.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $6.6 million in restructuring related charges in connection with the 2024 Footprint realignment plan, substantially all of which was recognized in cost of goods sold.

2023 Footprint Realignment plan

During the third quarter of 2023, we initiated the "2023 Footprint realignment plan," a restructuring plan primarily involving the relocation of certain manufacturing operations to existing lower-cost locations, the outsourcing of certain manufacturing processes and related workforce reductions. These actions are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2027. The following table provides a summary of the cost estimates by major type of expense associated with the 2023 Footprint realignment plan:

Total estimated amount expected to be incurred
Plan expense estimates:(Dollars in millions)
Restructuring charges (1)$4 million to $6 million
Restructuring related charges (2)$7 million to $9 million
Total restructuring and restructuring related charges$11 million to $15 million

(1) Substantially all of the charges consist of employee termination benefit cost.

(2) Restructuring related charges represent costs that are directly related to the 2023 Footprint realignment plan and principally constitute costs to transfer manufacturing operations to existing lower-cost locations and project management costs. Substantially all of these charges are expected to be recognized within cost of goods sold.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $2.6 million in restructuring related charges in connection with the 2023 Footprint realignment plan, all of which was recognized in cost of goods sold. As of December 31, 2024, we have incurred aggregate restructuring charges in connection with the 2023 Footprint realignment plan of $2.8 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, we have incurred aggregate restructuring related charges of $2.7 million with respect to the 2023 Footprint realignment plan, consisting of certain costs that principally resulted from the transfer of manufacturing operations to new locations.

2023 Restructuring plan

During the fourth quarter of 2023, we initiated the "2023 restructuring plan," which primarily involves the integration of Palette into Teleflex and workforce reductions designed to improve operating performance across the organization by creating efficiencies that align with evolving market demands and our strategy to enhance long-term value creation. The plan is substantially complete and as a result, we expect future restructuring expenses associated with the plan to be immaterial.

The following table summarizes the restructuring reserve activity related to our 2024 Restructuring plan, 2024 Footprint realignment plan and 2023 Footprint realignment plan:

Other Impairment charges

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded non-cash impairment charges totaling $7.8 million related to a decrease in the carrying value of an equity investment and an impairment of a portion of our operating lease assets stemming from our cessation of occupancy of a specific facility. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded impairment charges of $1.5 million related to our decision to abandon certain assets.

Our goodwill impairment testing is performed annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year in addition to periods where changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of our goodwill assets may not be recoverable. During the second quarter of 2024, we identified indicators of a potential impairment related to our Interventional Urology North America reporting unit (the “IU reporting unit”), included within our Americas operating segment. The indicators of a potential impairment primarily arose from lower than anticipated sales results from our UroLift product line (“UroLift"), primarily driven by the adverse impact of persistent end-market challenges within the U.S. office site of service. We performed a quantitative impairment test of the reporting unit using both the income and the market approaches and no impairment to goodwill was recognized in the second quarter of 2024 as the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. During the third quarter of 2024, the IU reporting unit performed largely in line with the forecast used in the second quarter 2024 quantitative fair value test.

In connection with preparing the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, we performed our annual impairment test for goodwill and determined that the carrying value of the IU reporting unit exceeded its fair value. Consequently, we recognized an impairment charge of $240 million in the goodwill impairment line in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The charge was primarily driven by updates to our UroLift forecast, done as part of our annual operating plan process, which reflects management's expectations of a prolonged period of subdued revenue growth due to persistent end-market challenges and changes in competitive pressures in the short to mid-term. Moreover, we anticipate that challenges related to a combination of price, mainly within the office site of service, and volume, will likely continue to impact growth rates.

As of December 31, 2024, goodwill of the IU reporting unit was $403.9 million after the impairment charge. We estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using both the income and the market approaches. The more significant judgments and assumptions in determining the fair value of the IU reporting unit for our 2024 impairment assessments included the revenue growth rates, the projected operating margins and the discount rate. The quantitative assessment utilized a discount rate of 10.75%.

Intangible assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following:

Note 9 —Leases

We have operating leases for various types of properties, consisting of manufacturing plants, engineering and research centers, distribution warehouses, offices and other facilities, and equipment used in operations. Some leases provide us with an option, exercisable at our sole discretion, to terminate the lease or extend the lease term forone or more years. When measuring assets and liabilities arising from a lease that provides us with an option to extend the lease term, we take into account payments to be made in the optional extension period when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Total lease cost (all of which related to operating leases) was $29.3 million, $31.1 million and $30.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Senior credit facility

In 2022, we amended and restated our existing credit agreement by entering into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which provides for afive-year revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion and a term loan facility of $500.0 million. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed (subject to certain exceptions and limitations) by substantially all of our material domestic subsidiaries. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured, subject to certain exceptions and limitations, by a lien on substantially all of the assets owned by us and each guarantor. The maturity date of the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility under the Credit Agreement is November 4, 2027.

At our option, loans under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to adjusted Term SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.125% to 2.00% or at an alternate base rate, which is defined as the highest of (i) the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. last quoted by The Wall Street Journal, (ii)0.50% above the greater of the federal funds rate and the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight eurodollar transactions denominated in Dollars and (iii)1.00% above the Term SOFR Rate for a one month interest period, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 1.00%, in each case subject to adjustments based on our total net leverage ratio. Overdue loans will bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to such loans plus 2.00%.

The obligations to extend credit under the Credit Agreement are subject to customary conditions for transactions of this type.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants that, in each case, subject to certain exceptions, qualifications and thresholds, (a) place limitations on us and our subsidiaries regarding the incurrence of additional indebtedness, additional liens, fundamental changes, dispositions of property, investments and acquisitions, dividends and other restricted payments, transactions with affiliates, restrictive agreements, changes in lines of business and swap agreements, and (b) require us and our subsidiaries to comply with sanction laws and other laws and agreements, to deliver financial information and certain other information and give notice of certain events, to maintain their existence and good standing, to pay their other obligations, to permit the administrative agent and the lenders to inspect their books and property, to use the proceeds of the Credit Agreement only for certain permitted purposes and to provide collateral in the future. Subject to certain exceptions, we are required to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio of 4.50 to 1.00. We are further required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00.

4.625% Senior notes due 2027

In 2017, we issued $500.0 million of 4.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"). We pay interest on the 2027 Notes semi-annually on May 15 and November 15, commencing on May 15, 2018, at a rate of 4.625% per year. The 2027 Notes mature on November 15, 2027 unless earlier redeemed by us at our option, as described below, or purchased by us at the holder’s option under specified circumstances following a Change of Control or Asset Sale (each as defined in the indenture related to the 2027 Notes), coupled with a downgrade in the ratings of the 2027 Notes, or upon our election to exercise our optional redemption rights, as described below. We incurred transaction fees of $7.9 million, including underwriters’ discounts and commissions, in connection with the offering of the 2027 Notes, which were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction to long-term borrowings and are being amortized over the term of the 2027 Notes. We used the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Our obligations under the 2027 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of our existing and future 100% owned domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor or other obligor under the Credit Agreement and by certain of our other 100% owned domestic subsidiaries.

We may, on one or more occasions, redeem some or all of the 2027 Notes at a redemption price of 102.313% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes subject to redemption, declining, in annual increments of 0.771%, to 100% of the principal amount on November 15, 2025, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture relating to the 2027 Notes contains covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit or restrict our ability to create liens; merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; or enter into sale leaseback transactions.

4.25% Senior Notes due 2028

In 2020, we issued $500.0 million of 4.25% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). We pay interest on the 2028 Notes semi-annually on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2020, at a rate of 4.25% per year. The 2028 Notes mature on June 1, 2028 unless earlier redeemed at our option, as described below, or purchased at the holder’s option under specified circumstances following a Change of Control or Event of Default (each as defined in the indenture related to the 2028 Notes), coupled with a downgrade in the ratings of the 2028 Notes, or upon our election to exercise its optional redemption rights, as described below. We incurred transaction fees of $8.5 million, including underwriters’ discounts and commissions, in connection with the offering of the 2028 Notes, which were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction to long-term borrowings and are being amortized over the term of the 2028 Notes. We used the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Our obligations under the 2028 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of our existing and future 100% owned domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor or other obligor under the Credit Agreement and by certain of our other 100% owned domestic subsidiaries.

We may, on one or more occasions, redeem some or all of the 2028 Notes at a redemption price of 102.125% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes subject to redemption, declining, in annual increments of 1.0625%, to 100% of the principal amount on June 1, 2025, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indenture relating to the 2028 Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to create liens; merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and enter into sale leaseback transactions.

Securitization program

We have an accounts receivable securitization facility under which accounts receivable of certain domestic subsidiaries are sold on a non-recourse basis to a special purpose entity (“SPE”), which is a bankruptcy-remote, consolidated subsidiary of Teleflex. Accordingly, the assets of the SPE are not available to satisfy the obligations of Teleflex or any of its subsidiaries. The SPE sells undivided interests in those receivables to an asset backed commercial paper conduit for consideration of up to the maximum available capacity. This facility is utilized from time to time to provide increased flexibility in funding short term working capital requirements. The agreement governing the accounts receivable securitization facility contains certain covenants and termination events. An occurrence of an event of default or a termination event under this facility may give rise to the right of its counterparty to terminate this facility. As of December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenants, and none of the termination events had occurred. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $75.0 million (the maximum amount available) of outstanding borrowings under our accounts receivable securitization facility.

VI Business acquisition financing

On February 24, 2025, we amended and restated our existing Credit Agreement to facilitate our upcoming acquisition of the VI Business. See Note 20 for additional information.

Fair value of long-term debt

To determine the fair value of our debt for which quoted prices are not available, we use a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile. Our implied credit rating is a factor in determining the market interest yield curve. The following table provides the fair value of our debt as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, which is valued based on Level 2 inputs within the hierarchy used to measure fair value (see Note 12 for further information):

Note 11 —Financial instruments

Foreign currency forward contracts

We use derivative instruments for risk management purposes. Foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are used to manage foreign currency transaction exposure. Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are used to manage exposure related to near term foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. We enter into the non-designated foreign currency forward contracts for periods consistent with the currency exposures, which generally approximate one month. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recognized a gain of $4.1 million and a loss of $3.2 million, respectively, related to non-designated foreign currency forward contracts.

The total notional amount for all open foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $270.9 million and $234.1 million, respectively. The total notional amount for all open non-designated foreign currency forward contracts as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $168.6 million and $195.0 million, respectively. All open foreign currency forward contracts as of December 31, 2024 have durations of 12 months or less.

VI Business acquisition foreign exchange derivative contracts

In conjunction with our upcoming acquisition of the VI Business, we entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts with an aggregate notional value of €700 million to economically hedge against the foreign currency exposure associated with the cash consideration needed to complete the acquisition. See Note 20 for additional information.

Cross-currency interest rate swaps

During 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements with five different financial institution counterparties to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate (the "2019 Cross-currency swaps"). Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, we notionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of 4.88% for €219.2 million at an annual interest rate of 2.46%. The swap agreements are designed as net investment hedges. On February 26, 2024, the agreements related to our 2019 Cross-currency swap with an original maturity date of March 4, 2024 were terminated resulting in $12.1 million in cash settlement proceeds.

On February 26, 2024, we executedtwo separate term cross-currency swap agreements set to expire on February 26, 2027 and February 28, 2029, respectively, to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate. Each of the swap agreements had a notional principal amount of $250 million and was designated as a net investment hedge. On April 25, 2024, the cross-currency agreements executed in February 2024 were terminated in response to changes in market conditions, resulting in $0.4 million in a cash settlement payment, and we simultaneously executedtwo new separate term cross-currency swap agreements with the same expiration dates and notional values (together, the "2024 Cross-currency swap agreements"). The cross-currency swap agreements expiring in 2027 include five different financial institution counterparties and notionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of 4.25% for €233.4 million at an annual interest rate of 2.44%. The cross-currency swap agreements expiring in 2029 include four different financial institution counterparties and notionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of 4.25% for €233.4 million at an annual interest rate of 2.45%. Both of the 2024 Cross-currency swap agreements are designated as net investment hedges.

During 2023, we executed new cross-currency swap agreements withsix different financial institution counterparties to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate, ("the 2023 Cross-currency swaps"). Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, we have notionally exchanged $500 million at an annual interest rate of 4.63% for €474.7 million at an annual interest rate of 3.05%. The swap agreements are designated as net investment hedges and expire on October 4, 2025.

Shortly after the execution of the 2023 Cross-currency swaps, we entered into a zero cost foreign exchange collar contract that aligns with the notional amount and expiration date of the 2023 Cross-currency swaps. We sold a put option with a lower strike price and bought a call option with a higher strike price to manage the foreign exchange risk related to the final settlement of the $500 million notional cross currency swaps. Upon the execution of the zero cost foreign exchange collar contract, we have de-designated the existing $500 million notional cross-currency swaps and re-designated the combined $500 million notional cross currency swaps and zero cost collar into a new hedging instrument. At re-designation, the existing $500 million notional cross-currency swaps were off- market due to changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The off-market value due to interest rates will be amortized ratably into earnings through October 2025 and the off-market value due to foreign exchange rates will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying net investment is sold. The combined cross-currency swaps and zero cost collar has been designated as a net investment hedge for accounting purposes.

The swap agreements described above require an exchange of the notional amounts upon expiration or earlier termination of the agreements. We and the counterparties have agreed to effect the exchange through a net settlement.

The cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") while the accrued interest is recognized in interest expense in the statement of operations. The following table summarizes the foreign exchange gains and losses recognized within AOCI and the interest benefit recognized within interest expense related to cross currency swaps for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Note 12 —Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Under GAAP, there is a three-level hierarchy of the inputs (i.e., assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability) used to measure fair value. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement.

The levels of inputs within the hierarchy used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 — inputs to the fair value measurement that are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — inputs to the fair value measurement that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 — inputs to the fair value measurement that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following tables provide information regarding our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Basis of fair value measurement

There were no transfers of financial assets or liabilities into or out of Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023.

Valuation Techniques

Our financial assets valued based upon Level 1 inputs are comprised of investments in marketable securities, including money market funds. The investment assets are valued using quoted market prices.

Our financial assets and liabilities valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap agreements. We use foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to manage foreign currency transaction exposure as well as exposure to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. We measure the fair value of the foreign currency forward and cross-currency swap agreements by calculating the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities, based on quoted market prices, and taking into account the creditworthiness of the counterparties.

Our financial liabilities valued based upon Level 3 inputs are comprised of contingent consideration arrangements pertaining to our acquisitions. Our primary non-recurring fair value estimates, which utilize Level 3 inputs, typically include the following: business acquisitions (Note 4); goodwill impairment testing (Note 8) and asset impairments (Note 5).

Contingent consideration

Contingent consideration liabilities, which primarily consist of payment obligations that are contingent upon the achievement of revenue-based goals, but also can be based on other milestones such as regulatory approvals, are remeasured to fair value each reporting period using assumptions including revenue growth rates (based on internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans), revenue volatility, discount rates, probability of payment and projected payment dates.

We determine the fair value of certain contingent consideration liabilities using a Monte Carlo simulation (which involves a simulation of future revenues during the earn-out period using management's best estimates) or discounted cash flow analysis. Increases in projected revenues, estimated cash flows and probabilities of payment may result in significantly higher fair value measurements; decreases in these items may have the opposite effect.

Increases in the discount rates in periods prior to payment may result in significantly lower fair value measurements and decreases in the discount rates may have the opposite effect. As of December 31, 2024, the maximum amount we could be required to pay under the contingent consideration arrangements related to the Palette and 2022 acquisition of Standard Bariatrics Inc. was $177.0 million.

The table below provides additional information regarding the valuation technique and inputs used in determining the fair value of our significant contingent consideration liabilities.

Note 13 —Shareholders' equity

Our authorized capital is comprised of 200 million common shares, $1 par value, and 500,000 preference shares. No preference shares have been outstanding during the last three years.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner except that the weighted average number of shares is increased to include dilutive securities. The following table provides a reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

202420232022
Basic46,83746,98146,898
Dilutive effect of share based awards257323411
Diluted47,09447,30447,309

Weighted average shares that were antidilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share were 0.9 million,0.7 million, and 0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

On July 30, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $500 million of our common stock. The timing, price and actual number of shares of common stock that may be repurchased under the share repurchase authorization will depend on a variety of factors including price, market conditions and corporate and regulatory requirements. The repurchases may occur in open market transactions, transactions structured through investment banking institutions, in privately negotiated transactions, by direct purchases of common stock or a combination of the foregoing, and the timing and amount of stock repurchased will depend on market and business conditions, applicable legal and credit requirements and other corporate considerations. The authorization of the repurchase program does not constitute a binding obligation to acquire any specific amount of common stock, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. On August 2, 2024, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement for $200 million of our common stock. Under this agreement,678,110 shares of common stock, representing 80% of the $200 million aggregate, were delivered and included in treasury stock. The initial shares received were calculated based on a price per share of $235.95, which was the closing share price of our common stock on August 1, 2024. Final settlement under the ASR Transaction occurred on October 30, 2024, at which time we received 172,351 additional shares of common stock. The total shares received were calculated based on a price per share of $235.17, which was based on volume-weighted average prices of our common stock during the accelerated share repurchase period less a discount.

In February 2025, we entered into a new $300 million accelerated share repurchase agreement. See Note 20 for additional information related to this agreement.

Note 14 —Stock compensation plans

In May 2023, our stockholders approved the Teleflex Incorporated 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan”), The Plan provides for several different kinds of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock unit awards and other stock-based awards to directors, officers and key employees. Under the Plan, the Company is authorized to issue up to 4.3 million shares of common stock, subject to adjustment in accordance with special share counting rules in the Plan. Options granted under the Plan have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. In 2024, we granted incentive and non-qualified options to purchase 193,826 shares of common stock and granted restricted stock units representing 108,777 shares of common stock under the Plan.

Under our equity incentive program, we issue performance share units ("PSUs") designed to further incentivize our senior management with respect to the achievement of our long term financial objectives. The PSU component of the equity incentive program is designed to provide shares of our common stock to the holder based upon our achievement of certain financial performance criteria during a designated performance period ofthree years. The number of shares to be awarded under the PSUs granted are subject to modification based upon our total stockholder return relative to a designated group of public companies. Assuming target performance is achieved, a total of 45,052 shares of common stock would be issuable in respect of the PSUs granted and a maximum of 111,696 shares would be issuable in respect of such PSUs upon achievement of maximum performance levels. The following table summarizes the share-based compensation activity:

Total income tax benefit recognized for share-based compensation arrangements5,3257,8206,824
Net excess tax (deficiency) benefit(1,542)1,3511,292

The unrecognized compensation expense for all awards granted in 2024 as of the grant date was $41.5 million, which will be recognized over the vesting period of the awards. As of December 31, 2024,3,583,530 shares were available for future grants under the Plan.

Option Awards

The fair value of options granted in 2024, 2023 and 2022 was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted-average assumptions were used:

202420232022
Risk-free interest rate4.28%4.13%1.56%
Expected life of option5.11 years5.07 years5.03 years
Expected dividend yield0.60%0.57%0.41%

Exercisable, end of the year1,052,394$238.653.2$13,718

The weighted average grant date fair value for options granted during 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $70.28, $76.46 and $88.92, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $4.7 million, $13.5 million and $5.0 million, respectively.

We recorded $12.8 million of expense related to options during 2024, which is included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2024, the unamortized share-based compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, net of expected forfeitures, was $13.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. Authorized but unissued shares of our common stock are issued upon exercises of options.

Stock Awards

The fair value of PSUs granted were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. The grant date fair value for the 2024 PSU awards was $220.45. The fair value for restricted stock units approximates the closing market price of Teleflex’s common stock on the grant date, adjusted for units that are ineligible for the accrual of dividend equivalents.

The following table summarizes the non-vested restricted stock unit activity during 2024:

We issued 108,777,98,201 and 85,780 of non-vested restricted stock units in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the majority of which provide for vesting as to all underlying shares on the third anniversary of the grant date. The weighted average grant-date fair value for non-vested restricted stock units granted during 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $220.18, $235.14 and $323.35, respectively.

We recorded $17.6 million of expense related to stock awards during 2024, which is included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2024, the unamortized share-based compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock units, net of estimated forfeitures, was $20.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. We use treasury stock to provide shares of common stock in connection with vesting of the stock awards.

Note 15 —Income taxes

At December 31, 2024, the cumulative unremitted earnings of subsidiaries outside the U.S. that are considered non-permanently reinvested and for which taxes have been provided approximated $2.6 billion. At December 31, 2024, no cumulative unremitted earnings of subsidiaries outside the U.S. are considered permanently reinvested.

The following table summarizes the U.S. and non-U.S. components of income from continuing operations before taxes:

Research and development tax credit(5.9)(1.3)(1.0)
Other, net6.20.10.5
7.0%17.6%18.6%

The effective income tax rate for 2024 was 7.0% compared to 17.6% for 2023. The effective income tax rate for 2024 reflects a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge recognized in connection with our annual impairment test for goodwill. Tax benefits were recognized in both 2024 and 2023 related to the pension settlement charge recognized in connection with the termination of the TRIP, as described in Note 16. The effective income tax rate for 2023 reflects the impact of deferred charges resulting from a legal entity rationalization, the impact of a non-taxable contingent consideration adjustment recognized in connection with a decrease in the estimated fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities and a tax expense resulting from a deferred charge relating to the 2022 Restructuring Plan.

We are routinely subject to examinations by various taxing authorities. In conjunction with these examinations and as a regular practice, we establish and adjust reserves with respect to its uncertain tax positions to address developments related to those positions. We realized a net benefit of $0.9 million, $2.3 million and $2.0 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively, as a result of reducing our reserves with respect to uncertain tax positions, principally due to the expiration of a number of applicable statutes of limitations.

The following table summarizes significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Under the tax laws of various jurisdictions in which we operate, deductions or credits that cannot be fully utilized for tax purposes during the current year may be carried forward, subject to statutory limitations, to reduce taxable income or taxes payable in a future tax year. At December 31, 2024, the tax effect of such carryforwards approximated $114.2 million. Of this amount, $21.0 million has no expiration date, $12.5 million expires after 2024 but before the end of 2029 and $80.7 million expires after 2029. A portion of these carryforwards consists of tax losses and credits obtained by us as a result of acquisitions; the utilization of these carryforwards is subject to an annual limitation imposed by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), which limits a company’s ability to deduct prior net operating losses following a more than 50 percent change in ownership. It is not expected that the Section 382 limitation will prevent us ultimately from utilizing the applicable loss carryforwards. The determination of state net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon the U.S. subsidiaries’ taxable income or loss, the state’s proportion of each subsidiary's taxable net income and the application of state laws, which can change from year to year and impact the amount of such carryforward.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $88.4 million and $95.7 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, relates principally to the uncertainty of our ability to utilize certain deferred tax assets, primarily tax loss and credit carryforwards in various jurisdictions. The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, which require that a valuation allowance be established and maintained when it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Uncertain Tax Positions: The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

202420232022

(Decrease) increase in unrecognized tax benefits due to foreign currency translation(97)47(182)
Balance at December 31$1,021$2,020$4,260

The total liabilities associated with the unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate for continuing operations, were $0.7 million at December 31, 2024.

We accrue interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income, and the corresponding liability is included in the consolidated balance sheets. The net interest expense (benefit) and penalties reflected in income from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $0.1 million and $(0.3) million, respectively; for the year ended December 31, 2023, $0.1 million and $(0.6) million, respectively; and for the year ended December 31, 2022, $0.2 million and $(0.2) million, respectively. The liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for interest and penalties at December 31, 2024 were $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and at December 31, 2023, $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

The taxable years for which the applicable statute of limitations remains open by major tax jurisdictions are as follows:

We are routinely subject to income tax examinations by various taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2024, the most significant tax examinations in process were in Germany and the United States. The date at which these examinations may be concluded and the ultimate outcome of the examinations are uncertain. As a result of the uncertain outcome of these ongoing examinations, future examinations or the expiration of statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken could materially change from those recorded as liabilities at December 31, 2024. Due to the potential for resolution of certain examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits may change within the next year by a range ofzero to $0.7 million.

Note 16 —Pension and other postretirement benefits

We have a number of defined benefit pension and postretirement plans covering eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees. The defined benefit pension plans are noncontributory. The benefits under these plans are based primarily on years of service and employees’ pay near retirement. Our funding policy for U.S. plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws and regulations. Obligations under non-U.S. plans are systematically provided for by depositing funds with trustees or by book reserves. As of December 31, 2024, no further benefits are being accrued under the U.S. defined benefit pension plans and the other postretirement benefit plans, other than certain postretirement benefit plans covering employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

In 2023, we began the execution of a plan to terminate the TRIP, a U.S. defined benefit pension plan. The TRIP is subject to Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and, therefore, must be terminated in accordance with the requirements of ERISA and the process governed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”). The termination date of the TRIP was August 1, 2023, which is the date upon which the timing of the requirements for the formal termination process is based. On September 8, 2023, we filed the required notice regarding the TRIP termination with the PBGC. The termination process requires that all TRIP benefits be distributed to participants, beneficiaries and alternate payees or transferred to a group annuity contract or the PBGC. In December 2023, we made payments to eligible participants, beneficiaries and alternate payees who elected the one-time lump sum distribution option offered in connection with the TRIP termination, resulting in the recognition of a pre-tax settlement charge of $45.2 million.

In 2024, we purchased a group annuity contract, using TRIP assets, which resulted in the recognition of net pre-tax settlement charges of $132.7 million for the year-ended December 31, 2024. The participants, beneficiaries, and alternate payees whose benefits were transferred to the group annuity contract will each receive from such group annuity contract the full value of their benefit that accrued under the TRIP. The assets in the TRIP Trust exceed the estimated liability for amounts to be transferred to the PBGC for missing participants and beneficiaries (“surplus plan assets”) and as a result, we transferred $43.0 million of the surplus plan assets to a suspense account within the Teleflex 401(k) Savings Plan, a qualified defined contribution plan. These assets are restricted for future use in accordance with our election to use them to fund future employer contributions to participants in the Teleflex 401(k) Savings Plan. The surplus assets contributed to the suspense account remaining as of December 31, 2024 are included within prepaid and other current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional information regarding the surplus plan assets classified as restricted cash equivalents included within prepaid and other current assets and other assets for the year ended December 31, 2024, refer to Note 19 within the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Teleflex and certain of our subsidiaries provide medical, dental and life insurance benefits to pensioners or their survivors. The associated plans are unfunded and approved claims are paid from our funds.

The following table provides information regarding the components of the net benefit (income) expense of the pension and postretirement benefit plans for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

The actuarial gain for pension for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily due to an increase in the discount rate for the TRIP plan prior to its termination in Q1 2024 and an increase in the discount rate and financial assumption changes for non-US pension plans. The actuarial loss for pension for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to a decrease in the discount rate used to measure the obligation, offset by demographic gains.

The accumulated benefit obligations (ABO) and the projected benefit obligations (PBO) for plans with ABO and PBO in excess of plan assets were $14.6 million and $15.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2024 and $262.6 million and $263.2 million respectively, at December 31, 2023. The fair value of plan assets for plans with PBO and ABO in excess of plan assets were $0.0 million and $272.3 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The discount rate represents the interest rate used to determine the present value of future cash flows currently expected to be required to settle the pension and other benefit obligations. The weighted average discount rates for U.S. pension plans and other benefit plans of 5.48% and 5.61%, respectively, were established by comparing the projection of expected benefit payments to the AA Above Median yield curve as of December 31, 2024. The expected benefit payments are discounted by each corresponding discount rate on the yield curve. For payments beyond 30 years, we extend the curve assuming that the discount rate derived in year 30 is extended to the end of the plan’s payment expectations. Once the present value of the string of benefit payments is established, we determine the single rate on the yield curve that, when applied to all obligations of the plan, will exactly match the previously determined present value.

As part of the evaluation of pension and other postretirement assumptions, we applied assumptions for mortality and healthcare cost trends that incorporate generational white and blue collar mortality trends. In determining its benefit obligations, we used generational tables that take into consideration increases in plan participant longevity.

Our assumption for the expected return on plan assets is primarily based on the determination of an expected return for its current portfolio. This determination is made using assumptions for return and volatility of the portfolio. Asset class assumptions are set using a combination of empirical and forward-looking analysis. To the extent historical results have been affected by unsustainable trends or events, the effects of those trends are quantified and removed. We apply a variety of models for filtering historical data and isolating the fundamental characteristics of asset classes. These models provide empirical return estimates for each asset class, which are then reviewed and combined with a qualitative assessment of long term relationships between asset classes before a return estimate is finalized. The qualitative analysis is intended to provide an additional means for addressing the effect of unrealistic or unsustainable short-term valuations or trends, resulting in return levels and behavior we believe are more likely to prevail over long periods.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all U.S. and foreign defined benefit pension plans was $24.7 million and $274.9 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively. All of the pension plans had accumulated benefit obligations in excess of their respective plan assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, with the exception of one foreign plan that had plan assets of $0.5 million and $1.0 million in excess of the accumulated benefit obligation as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Our investment objective is to achieve an enhanced long-term rate of return on plan assets, subject to a prudent level of portfolio risk, for the purpose of enhancing the availability of benefits for participants. These investments are comprised of fixed income mutual funds. Fixed-income funds are held for diversification relative to equities and as a partial hedge of interest rate risk with respect to plan liabilities. The plans may also hold cash to meet liquidity requirements. Actual performance may not be consistent with the respective investment strategies. Investment risks and returns are measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through annual liability measurements and investment portfolio reviews to determine whether the asset allocation targets continue to represent an appropriate balance of expected risk and reward.

We maintain a number of defined contribution savings plans covering eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees. We partially match employee contributions. Costs related to these plans were $33.2 million, $26.1 million and $24.3 million for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 17 —Commitments and contingent liabilities

Environmental: We are subject to contingencies as a result of environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require us to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by us or other parties. Much of this liability results from the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, often referred to as Superfund, the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and similar state laws. These laws require us to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where we conduct or once conducted operations or at sites where Company-generated waste was disposed.

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. The nature of these activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, the regulatory agencies involved and their enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of other potentially responsible parties. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have recorded $0.5 million and $2.5 million inaccrued liabilities and $3.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively inother liabilities relating to these matters. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these liabilities, and if adverse changes in circumstances occur, potential liability may exceed the amount accrued as of December 31, 2024. The time frame over which the accrued amounts may be paid out, based on past history, is estimated to be 10-15 years.

Legal matters: We are a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability and product warranty, intellectual property, commercial disputes, acquisition and divestiture related matters, contracts, employment, environmental and other matters. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we have recorded accrued liabilities of $0.8 million in connection with such contingencies, representing our best estimate of the cost within the range of estimated possible losses that will be incurred to resolve these matters. Amounts accrued for legal contingencies are often determined based on a complex series of judgments about future events and uncertainties that rely heavily on estimates and assumptions, including as to the timing of related payments. The ability to make such estimates and judgments can be affected by various factors including whether, among other things, damages sought in the proceedings are unsubstantiated or indeterminate; scientific and legal discovery has commenced or is complete; proceedings are in early stages; matters present legal uncertainties; there are significant facts in dispute, or procedural or jurisdictional issues; there is uncertainty or unpredictability regarding the number of potential claims; there is the potential to achieve comprehensive multi-party settlements; there is complexity regarding related cross-claims and counterclaims; and/or there are numerous parties involved. To the extent adverse awards, judgments or verdicts have been rendered against us, we do not record an accrual until a loss is determined to be probable and can be reasonably estimated.

While the results of such litigation or claims cannot be predicted with certainty, based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, we do not believe that the outcome of any outstanding litigation and claims is likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the period incurred.

Other: In 2015, the Italian parliament enacted legislation that, among other things, imposed a “payback” measure on medical device companies that supply goods and services to the Italian National Healthcare System. Under the measure, companies are required to make payments to the Italian government if medical device expenditures in a given year exceed regional expenditure ceilings established for that year. The payment amounts are calculated based on the amount by which the regional ceilings for the given year were exceeded. Considerable uncertainty exists related to the enforceability of and implementation process for the payback law. In response to decrees issued by the Italian Ministry of Health, the various Italian regions issued invoices to medical device companies, including Teleflex, under the payback measure in the fourth quarter of 2022 seeking payment with respect to excess expenditures for the years 2015 through 2018. Following the issuance of the invoices, we and numerous other medical device companies filed appeals with the Italian administrative courts challenging the enforceability of the payback measure, primarily on the basis that the law was unconstitutional. The Italian administrative courts referred the question regarding the constitutionality of the law to the Italian Constitutional Court, which in July 2024, issued a ruling upholding the law as constitutional. During the year ended December 31, 2024 we recognized increases to our reserve and corresponding reductions to revenue of $22.1 million. The increase in reserve for the year ended December 31, 2024 included $13.8 million pertaining to prior years stemming from the July 2024 ruling. As of December 31, 2024, our reserve related to this matter is $35.7 million. Following the ruling of the Italian Constitutional Court, the appeal before the Italian administrative court will proceed with respect to the remaining legal arguments asserted by the appellants to the enforceability of the payback law.

On April 4, 2023, one of our Mexican subsidiaries received a notification from the Mexican Federal Tax Administration Service (“SAT”) setting forth its preliminary findings with respect to a foreign trade operations audit carried out by SAT for the period from July 1, 2017 to June 6, 2019. The preliminary findings stated that our Mexican subsidiary did not evidence the export of goods temporarily imported under Mexico’s Manufacturing, Maquila and Export Services Industries Program (“IMMEX Program”), therefore triggering the potential obligation for payment of import duties, value added tax, customs processing fees and other fines and penalties, which may cause an adverse impact on our gross profit in the future. In response to the notification, our Mexican subsidiary has requested that the matter be referred to the Procuraduría de la Defensa del Contribuyente, or “PRODECON,” (local tax ombudsperson) to help facilitate the process. In June 2023, SAT was provided with the appropriate documentation evidencing the export of the goods in accordance with the requirements of the IMMEX Program. In 2024, SAT concluded its examination of the export documentation resulting in no material assessment and the matter has been closed.

As part of our acquisition of Palette, we identified certain foreign tax liabilities that had not been properly recognized and paid by Palette prior to our acquisition. As part of our acquisition accounting, we have established a liability of $3.5 million, representing our best estimate of the outstanding tax liabilities including interest as of December 31, 2024. In February 2024, we requested the relevant foreign tax authority to re-assess Palette’s previously filed tax returns for the related periods. If the tax authority disagrees with the basis for our request for reassessment of the previously filed returns and we are unsuccessful in defending our position, we may be required to pay an amount in excess of our current established liability, which could be material.

Note 18 —Business segments and other information

An operating segment is a component (a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, our President and Chief Executive Officer, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and (c) for which discrete financial information is available. The chief operating decision maker utilizes segment operating profit to evaluate operating expenses through a comparison of budget to actual results as well as an analysis of operating expenses as a percentage of revenue. We do not evaluate our operating segments using discrete asset information.

During the fourth quarter 2024, our chief operating decision maker changed the manner in which he reviews financial information for purposes of assessing business performance and allocating resources solely focusing on the geographic location. As a result, we changed our segment presentation by incorporating the OEM operating segment into the Americas segment. We now have three reportable segments: Americas, EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) and Asia (Asia Pacific). In addition to the changing of our segments, our chief operating decision maker now evaluates segment operating profit without an allocation of corporate expenses compared to the prior measure, which included these expenses in the evaluation. Our prior period segment disclosures have been revised to reflect the new segment presentation of ourthree reportable segments and segment operating profit.

Our reportable segments primarily design, manufacture and distribute medical devices primarily used in critical care and surgical applications and generally serve two end-markets: hospitals and healthcare providers, and home health. The products of these segments are most widely used in the acute care setting for a range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and in general and specialty surgical applications. The Americas also includes our OEM product portfolio that designs, manufactures and supplies devices and instruments for other medical device manufacturers.

Note 20 —Subsequent events

On February 24, 2025, we executed a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the Vascular Intervention business of BIOTRONIK SE & Co. KG. The acquisition will include a broad suite of coronary and peripheral medical devices, such as drug-coated balloons, stents, and balloon catheters, which will complement our interventional product portfolio. Under the terms of the agreement, we will acquire the VI Business for an initial cash payment of €760 million reduced by certain adjustments as provided in the purchase agreement including certain working capital not transferring and other customary adjustments. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025.

Concurrent with the execution of the agreement to acquire the VI Business, we entered into an amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which, among other things, (a) provides for a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million, which will be available to be drawn on the date on which we consummate the VI Business acquisition and (b) permits us to borrow up to $550 million under the revolving facility provided for under the Credit Agreement on a limited condition basis on the date on which the VI Business acquisition is consummated. Borrowings under the delayed draw term loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin plus, at our option, either (1) the highest of (i) the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. last quoted by The Wall Street Journal, (ii)0.50% above the greater of the federal funds rate and the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight eurodollar transactions denominated in dollars and (iii)1.00% above the Term SOFR Rate for a one month interest period, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 1.00%, in each case subject to adjustments based on our total net leverage ratio or (2) a Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate (which includes a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points). The applicable margin for borrowings under the delayed draw term loan range from 1.125% to 2.00% for SOFR borrowings and from 0.125% to 1.00% for base-rate borrowings, in each case, depending on, at our election, either (x) our public corporate family rating or (y) our consolidated total net leverage ratio, in each case, based on the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The obligations under the delayed draw term loan will be guaranteed and secured on the same basis as the facilities provided for under the Credit Agreement. The delayed draw term loan will not amortize and will mature on the earlier of (x) the date that istwo years after the date on which such loans are funded and (y) the maturity date for the revolving facility provided for under the Credit Agreement.

In addition to amending our Credit Agreement, we also entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts with an aggregate notional value of €700 million to economically hedge against the foreign currency exposure associated with the cash consideration needed to complete the VI Business acquisition.

We anticipate using the new delayed draw term loan along with revolving credit borrowings under the Credit Agreement and cash on hand to finance the VI Business acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred transaction costs of $11.5 million in connection with the acquisition, which was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The majority of the transaction costs were recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024.

On February 27, 2025, we announced our intention to create a new, independently traded public company comprising Urology (consisting of our Interventional Urology and Urology product categories), Acute Care (consisting of our Respiratory product category, the majority of our Anesthesia product category and certain products within our Interventional Access and Surgical product categories) and our OEM businesses. Our Vascular Access product category, most of our products within our Interventional Access and Surgical product categories and the expected acquisition of the VI business will remain with Teleflex. The completion of any separation transaction and the achievement of tax-free status will be contingent upon various conditions and approvals, including approval of our Board of Directors, receipt of requisite regulatory clearances and compliance with applicable SEC requirements. There can be no guarantees that the proposed separation will be completed on the terms and within the timeframe we announced, or at all.

Accelerated share repurchase agreement

On February 28, 2025, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement for $300 million of our common stock, representing the remainder of the share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in 2024.
