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. In response to decrees issued by the Italian Ministry of Health, in the fourth quarter of 2022 the various Italian regions issued invoices to medical device companies, including Teleflex, under the payback measure 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 was $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 with regard to the enforceability of the payback law.

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. In August 2025, the Italian parliament enacted a modification to the previously enacted legislation that reduced the payment amounts due from the affected companies, including Teleflex, to approximately 25% of the amounts originally invoiced for the years 2015 through 2018. Payment of the reduced amount precludes the pursuit of further legal action related to the obligation to pay the amounts relating to such years. During the third quarter of 2025, we remitted payment to the related regions to settle the years 2015 through 2018. As a result of the modification in the legislation, along with an adjustment to our calculation of the reserves related to years 2019 through 2025, we recognized a $23.7 million decrease in our reserve during the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in our reserve resulted in a corresponding increase to revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, of which $9.0 million pertains to prior periods within continuing operations. As of December 31, 2025, our reserve related to this matter was $19.4 million.

Our operations, supply chain, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners are impacted by various global macroeconomic factors. During 2024, we experienced a general stabilization in overall cost inflation; however, materials and labor costs remain elevated compared to historical levels. We continue to monitor the impacts stemming from increases in interest rates and fluctuations in exchange rates driven by monetary policy decisions of central banks as well as ongoing geopolitical conflicts and the evolving global trade landscape, characterized by newly enacted, proposed and retaliatory tariffs. The implementation of such trade policies and tariffs could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Current wording

Our operations, supply chain, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners are impacted by various global macroeconomic factors. During 2025, we experienced a general stabilization in overall cost inflation however, recently enacted U.S. tariffs and accompanying retaliatory measures adversely impacted results, primarily due to higher import costs associated with our operations in the European Union, as well as to products manufactured in Mexico that are not currently compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). We also continue to monitor the impacts stemming from currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes in interest rates driven by monetary policy decisions of central banks as well as ongoing geopolitical conflicts.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, gross margin increased 50 basis points, or 0.9%, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the favorable impact of gross margin attributed to acquired and divested businesses, price increases and the benefits from cost improvement initiatives. The increases in gross margin were partially offset by the unfavorable impact from an increase in our reserves related to the Italian payback measure, continued cost inflation from macro-economic factors, specifically with respect to labor and raw materials, the adverse impact of manufacturing inefficiencies and unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Current wording

For the year ended December 31, 2024, gross margin increased 30 basis points, or 0.5%, compared to the prior year, primarily due to the favorable impact on gross margin of the 2023 expiration of the MSA associated with our 2021 Respiratory business divestiture, and price increases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $65.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a benefit recognized in the prior year period resulting from decreases in the estimated fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities, whereas, in the current period, we recognized an expense due to increases in these liabilities. Additionally, higher operating expenses incurred by the acquired Palette business and higher IT related costs that were primarily driven by our implementation of a new ERP solution contributed to the overall increase.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Our principal source of liquidity is our cash flows provided by operating activities. Our cash flows provided by operating activities are reduced by cash used to, among other things, fulfill contractual obligations for minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases, which often extend beyond one year; the weighted average remaining lease term of our operating lease portfolio is 6.5 years. Our cash flows provided by operating activities are also reduced by cash used for unconditional legally binding commitments to purchase goods or services (i.e., purchase obligations), which are primarily related to inventory expected to be purchased within one year.

On February 26, 2024, we executed two 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 executed two 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 and require an exchange of the notional amounts upon expiration or the earlier termination of the agreements. We and the counterparties have agreed to effect the exchange through a net settlement. As a result, we may be required to pay (or be entitled to receive) an amount equal to the difference, on the expiration or earlier termination date, between the U.S. dollar equivalent of the €466.8 million notional amount and the $500 million notional amount. The 2024 Cross-currency swap agreements entail risk that the counterparties will not fulfill their obligations under the agreements. However, we believe the risk is reduced because we have entered into separate agreements with nine different counterparties, all of which are large, well-established financial institutions. Based on the U.S. dollar to euro currency exchange rate in effect April 25, 2024, and assuming exchange rates remain constant throughout the terms of the 2024 Cross-currency swap agreements, we would realize a reduction in annual cash interest expense of $9.0 million.

Current wording

On August 18, 2025, we executed two separate term cross-currency swap agreements set to expire on August 20, 2030 and August 20, 2032, respectively, to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to Swiss Franc (CHF) exchange rate, (the "2025 Cross-currency swap agreements"). Each of the 2025 Cross-currency swap agreements had a notional principal amount of $300 million and were designated as a net investment hedge. The 2025 Cross-currency swap agreements expiring in 2030 include six different financial institution counterparties and notionally exchanged $300 million for CHF 242.4 million at an annual interest rate of 3.15%. The 2025 Cross-currency swap agreements expiring in 2032 include four different financial institution counterparties and notionally exchanged $300 million for CHF 242.5 million at an annual interest rate of 3.02%.

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.

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 is two 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.

We review the net realizable value of inventory each reporting period and adjust as necessary. We regularly compare inventory quantities on hand against historical usage or forecasts related to specific items in order to evaluate obsolescence and excessive quantities. In assessing historical usage, we also qualitatively assess business trends to evaluate the reasonableness of using historical information in estimating future usage. Our inventory reserve was $59.4 million and $54.3 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Previous wording

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 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As the fair values of our remaining reporting units are more likely than not greater than the carrying values, no additional impairment charges were recorded as a result of the annual goodwill impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2024.

Current wording

Goodwill impairment assessments are performed at a reporting unit level. For purposes of this assessment, our reporting units are our operating segments, or, in certain cases, a business one level below our operating segments. Our identified reporting units did not change as a result of our Strategic Divestitures. As the fair values of our reporting units are more likely than not greater than the carrying values, no impairment was recorded as a result of the annual goodwill impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2025. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding impairment considerations related to discontinued operations.

Previous wording

Under a quantitative impairment test we compare the fair value of a reporting unit to the carrying value. We calculate the fair value of the reporting unit 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, we recognize an impairment loss based on the amount the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

Current wording

Under a quantitative impairment test we compare the fair value of a reporting unit to the carrying value. We estimate the fair value using a combination of the income approach, which is based on discounted cash flows derived from projected future earnings, and the market approach, which utilizes revenue and EBITDA multiples of comparable businesses observed in actual transactions or other market data. 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, we recognize an impairment loss based on the amount the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.

Previous wording

The more significant judgments and assumptions in determining fair value using in the Income Approach include (1) the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, which are based primarily on our estimates of future sales, operating income, industry trends and the regulatory environment of the individual reporting units, (2) the expected long-term growth rates of revenue and EBITDA for each of our reporting units, which approximate the expected long-term growth rate of the global economy and of the medical device industry, and (3) the discount rates that are used to estimate the present value of the future cash flows, which are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the future cash flows of the respective reporting units along with various market based inputs. The more significant judgments and assumptions used in the Market Approach include (1) determination of appropriate revenue and EBITDA multiples used to estimate a reporting unit’s fair value and (2) the selection of appropriate comparable companies to be used for purposes of determining those multiples. There were no changes to the underlying methods used in 2024 as compared to the valuations of our reporting units in the past several years.

Previous wording

In connection with intangible assets acquired in a business combination and quantitative impairment tests, we determine the estimated fair value using various methods under the Income Approach. The more significant judgments and assumptions used in the valuation of intangible assets may include revenue growth rates, royalty rate, obsolescence factor, distributor margin, discount rates, attrition rate, and EBITDA margin. Each of these factors and assumptions can significantly impact the value of the intangible asset.

We did not record any impairment charges related to intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2024. See "Restructuring and impairment charges" within "Result of Operations" above as well as Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on these charges.

Current wording

During 2025, we recognized a $100.0 million impairment charge related to our Titan SGS asset group, which consisted primarily of intangible assets.

In assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, we evaluate positive and negative evidence and use judgments regarding past and future events, including results of operations and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. Based on this assessment, we determine when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets may not be realized, in which case we apply a valuation allowance to offset the amount of such deferred tax assets. To the extent facts and circumstances change in the future, adjustments to the valuation allowances may be required. 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 the utilization of tax loss and credit carryforwards in various jurisdictions.

Previous wording

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. We adjust the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in any period in which we become aware of facts that necessitate an adjustment. We are currently under examination in Germany and the United States. The ultimate outcome of these examinations could result in increases or decreases to our recorded tax liabilities, which would affect our financial results. See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our uncertain tax positions.
