Current report
In May 2026, we amended several agreements with a medical device company (the “Consolidated VIE”), which we previously accounted for as an unconsolidated VIE.

In May 2026, we received the FDA approval for TRIFORMIS RESILIA, the first-ever surgical tricuspid valve replacement designed specifically for patients with tricuspid valve disease.
Current report
In June 2026, we received FDA 510(k) clearance for ECLIPTIS, our surgical Left Atrial Appendage technology.
Current report
As a result of the change in California law noted above, we have concluded that in applying our methodology where newly generated credits are utilized before existing carryforwards, the annual utilization limit will be lower than the newly generated research and development tax credits and excess research and development credits will continue to be generated annually on a prospective basis. Consequently, the California research and development credit carryforward is no longer considered realizable, and a valuation allowance has been established.

Previous wording
Interest income was $33.5 million and $36.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a lower average investment balance and lower yield during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Current wording
Loss on impairment of $40.0 million and $163.6 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, were due to the termination of the option agreement to acquire one of our VIE investments and the carrying amount of another VIE investment not being recoverable (see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Other non-operating income, net
Current wording
Other non-operating (income) expense, net
Previous wording
Other non-operating income, net was $71.5 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in other non-operating income was driven primarily by a gain from the remeasurement of our previously held interest upon acquisition of Autus (see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
Current wording
Other non-operating income, net was $16.6 million and $88.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.

Previous wording
Our effective income tax rate attributable to continuing operations was 17.1% and 16.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the effective rate between the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was primarily due to a decrease in the benefit from foreign earnings taxed at a lower rate, an increase in global minimum tax (“Pillar Two,” as noted below), and a decrease in the tax benefit from employee share-based compensation. In addition, the effective rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were lower than the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to (1) foreign earnings taxed at lower rates, (2) United States federal and California research and development credits, and (3) the tax benefit from foreign-derived deduction eligible income.
Current wording
Our effective income tax rate attributable to continuing operations was 53.6% and 16.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and 36.4% and 16.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the effective rate between the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was primarily dueto (1) a $188.2 million valuation allowance recorded against certain deferred tax assets in the second quarter of 2026 as a result of enactment of California budget legislation on June 29, 2026, which, as noted below, permanently limits the utilization of most business tax credits, including carryovers of research and development tax credits, (2) a decrease in the benefit from foreign earnings taxed at lower rates, and (3) an increase in global minimum tax ("Pillar Two," as noted below), partially offset by (4) an increase in the tax benefit from employee share-based compensation. As a result, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was higher than the federal statutory rate of 21.0%. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the effective tax rate was lower than the federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to (1) foreign earnings taxed at lower rates, (2) United States federal and California research and development credits, and (3) the tax benefit from foreign-derived deduction eligible income.
Previous wording
Many countries are implementing some or all of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Pillar Two (“Pillar Two”) rules that impose a global minimum tax of 15.0% on reported profits. Although Pillar Two provides a framework for applying the minimum tax, countries may enact Pillar Two slightly differently than the model rules and on different timelines and may adjust domestic tax incentives in response to Pillar Two. In January 2026, the OECD released its Side-by-Side Safe Harbour package, intended to reduce double taxation and compliance burdens by deeming Pillar Two top-up tax to be zero under the Income Inclusion Rule (“IIR”) and Undertaxed Profits Rule (“UTPR”) for groups headquartered in the United States while preserving application of local Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Taxes (“QDMTT”). As countries continue to enact and refine the Pillar Two rules, including jurisdictional enactment of the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour through the course of 2026, we will evaluate the potential effects of Pillar Two on our effective tax rate. In 2026, we expect the Pillar Two provisions to result in additional tax expense of approximately $70.0 million prior to offsets under current law. As countries enact the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour, the Pillar Two UTPR tax expense will be reduced accordingly.

As countries enact the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour, the Pillar Two UTPR tax expense will be reduced accordingly.
Previous wording
In the first quarter of 2022, we executed an Advance Pricing Agreement (“APA”) between Japan and Switzerland covering distribution transactions for tax years 2020 through 2024, and in 2023, we executed an APA between Japan and the United States covering tax years 2020 through 2024. We also executed an APA in the fourth quarter of 2024 between Japan and Singapore covering tax years 2022 through 2026 with roll-back terms to cover the distribution of TAVR products beginning in 2020 and the distribution of Surgical products beginning in 2018.
Current wording

Previous wording
During 2021, we received a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”) from the IRS for the 2015 through 2017 tax years relating to transfer pricing involving Surgical/TAVR intercompany royalty transactions between our United States and Switzerland subsidiaries. The NOPA proposed a substantial increase to our United States taxable income, which could result in additional tax expense for the 2015 through 2017 period of approximately $260.0 million and reflects a departure from a transfer pricing method we had previously agreed upon with the IRS. We disagreed with the NOPA and pursued an administrative appeal with the IRS Independent Office of Appeals (“Appeals”). The Appeals process culminated in the third quarter of 2023 when we and Appeals concluded that a satisfactory resolution of the matter at the administrative level was not possible.

The Appeals process culminated in the third quarter of 2023 when we and Appeals concluded that a satisfactory resolution of the matter at the administrative level was not possible.
Previous wording
After the first quarter of 2026, we received two draft Notices of Proposed Adjustment (the “Draft NOPAs”) from the IRS for the 2018 through 2020 tax years. The first of the Draft NOPAs relates to certain tax elections made in 2018 and proposes an increase to our U.S. taxable income in the amount of approximately $233.5 million for 2018. The second of the Draft NOPAs relates to the transfer pricing of certain intercompany royalty transactions related to our Surgical and TAVR product groups and proposes increases to our U.S. taxable income for 2018, 2019, and 2020 in the amounts of $625.3 million, $530.7 million, and $683.6 million, respectively. The proposed increases in the second of the Draft NOPAs will reduce the adjustment in the first of the Draft NOPAs as the two adjustments relate to overlapping income. We are evaluating the Draft NOPAs and intend to engage with the IRS examination function regarding the factual and legal matters described therein. If we and the IRS examination function are unable to agree on a resolution, then we expect to receive final NOPAs by end of the second quarter of 2026 and the related Revenue Agent’s Report by end of the third quarter of 2026. If we receive a Revenue Agent’s Report, we intend to pursue available remedies, including administrative appeals and litigation, which could extend over several years. We believe that the amounts previously accrued related to these uncertain tax positions are adequate and, accordingly, no additional amounts have been recorded.
Current wording
During the second quarter of 2026, we received two draft Notices of Proposed Adjustment that were issued as final (the “Final NOPAs”) prior to the end of the second quarter. The first of the Final NOPAs relates to certain tax elections made in 2018 and proposes an increase to our U.S. taxable income in the amount of approximately $233.5 million for 2018. The second of the Final NOPAs relates to the transfer pricing of certain intercompany license transactions related to our Surgical and TAVR product groups and proposes increases to our U.S. taxable income for 2018, 2019, and 2020 in the amounts of $625.3 million, $530.7 million, and $683.6 million, respectively. We and the IRS examination function (“Exam”) continue to engage in discussions and have adjusted the audit timeline to accommodate a potential resolution. If we do not reach a resolution with Exam, we expect the IRS to issue another NOPA in the third quarter of 2026 imposing 40% transfer pricing penalties on the tax underpayments attributable to the increased taxable income resulting from the IRS’s proposed transfer pricing adjustments received in the second quarter of 2026. We also anticipate receiving the related Revenue Agent’s Report by the end of the third quarter of 2026. With respect to any unagreed issues, we intend to pursue all available remedies, including administrative appeals and litigation, which could extend over several years. We believe that the amounts previously accrued related to these uncertain tax positions are adequate and, accordingly, no additional amounts have been recorded. However, an adverse outcome could have a material adverse impact to our consolidated financial statements in the period of resolution.
Previous wording
During the first quarter of 2024, we received a notice of assessment from the Israel Tax Authority (the “ITA”) wherein the ITA claimed that we owe approximately $110.0 million of tax excluding interest and penalties in connection with a claimed 2017 transfer of intellectual property. On July 31, 2025, the ITA formally informed us that it was withdrawing its 2017 assessment but reserves the right to evaluate whether intellectual property was transferred in later years. We maintain that we did not transfer intellectual property outside of Israel and would vigorously defend that position through administrative proceedings including with appeals if the issue is raised in later years. If necessary, we expect to defend that position through judicial proceedings. During the fourth quarter of 2024, we received a notice of assessment from the ITA claiming that we owe additional tax of approximately $16.0 million excluding interest and penalties for the 2018 through 2022 tax years based entirely on the collateral impacts of the 2017 assessment. We filed a formal appeal in the first quarter of 2025. In the third quarter of 2025, the ITA agreed that intellectual property was not transferred in 2017 and withdrew its assessment. In the first quarter of 2026, we were notified that the ITA had withdrawn its assessment for the 2018 and 2019 taxable years. For taxable years 2020-2022, the ITA has until the expiration of each year’s respective statute of limitations to respond to our appeal. If the 2020 through 2022 assessments are not withdrawn, we will defend our position through judicial proceedings.
