Current report
Global Trade and Macroeconomic Environment
Current report
In February 2025, the U.S. imposed new tariffs on products from China; in March 2025, those tariffs on Chinese products were increased and new tariffs were imposed on products imported from Mexico and Canada. These tariffs were in effect for less than a full quarter, and thus did not significantly impact our results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Current report
In addition to the tariffs announced during the three months ended March 31, 2025, in April 2025, the U.S. announced additional new tariffs on imports from all countries in the world (except Mexico and Canada). China responded by announcing tariffs on U.S. imports, and subsequently both the U.S. and China announced additional tariffs. If maintained at current levels, we expect the U.S. and Chinese tariffs on imports from each other, as well as the U.S. baseline tariff on other countries (currently at 10% but subject to revision in July 2025), and the tariffs announced during the three months ended March 31, 2025, will materially impact our financial results through the incurrence of additional costs. Additional tariffs or other trade restrictions by the U.S. or other countries where we do significant business, or other restrictions on specific industries, such as pharmaceuticals, could further materially impact our results in the future. While we are taking actions to mitigate the impact of tariffs, it is highly unlikely that we will be able to fully offset the additional costs or other negative impacts resulting from the tariffs.
Current report
We continue to monitor the global markets in which we operate for changes in customer behavior, changes in government spending and reimbursement, and indirect impacts from the tariffs. Should these factors dampen economic growth, slow global trade, or impact inflation, we could see adverse impacts to our business as our customers adapt to the change in economic environment. We continue to monitor potential impacts on purchasing decisions by both public and private customers in China and other markets as result of the current trade environment, as well as other actions related to tariffs and trade frictions, investigations, or activities that could similarly increase our costs or otherwise impact our business. In addition, if negative sentiment towards U.S. companies influences the purchasing decisions of global customers, our business could be impacted materially.

Previous report
Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions and credits by evaluating all available positive and negative evidence. We have a valuation allowance against certain U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets and will release the valuation allowance when there is sufficient positive evidence to support a conclusion that it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized. Depending on our operating results in the future, we may release the valuation allowance associated with our Brazil and French deferred tax assets within the next year. The timing and amount of the valuation allowance release could vary based on our assessment of all available evidence. Release of all, or a portion, of the valuation allowance in Brazil would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets in Brazil offset by recognition of certain deferred tax liabilities in the United States. Release of all, or a portion, of the valuation allowance in France would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets in France and is expected to result in a decrease to income tax expense for the period in which the release is recorded.

Effective July 1, 2024, Image Guided Therapies, previously part of the Imaging segment, was realigned to the Ultrasound segment to better match its clinical usage and realize stronger business and customer impact by providing the right image guidance in the right care setting. The Ultrasound segment was subsequently renamed Advanced Visualization Solutions (“AVS”). Following this realignment, the Company continues to have four reportable segments: Imaging, AVS, Patient Care Solutions (“PCS”), and Pharmaceutical Diagnostics (“PDx”). These segments have been identified based on the nature of the products sold and how the Company manages its operations. Historical segment financial information presented within this report has been recast to conform to the new reportable segments structure. See Note 3, “Segment Information” for more information.

Previous wording
We continue to monitor developments in the market in China. An anti-corruption campaign directed at the healthcare sector, launched last year, is still ongoing. In addition, in March 2024, the government in China announced a new stimulus program (“2024 stimulus”) that includes the healthcare sector and will be implemented through China’s provinces. Both of these factors have contributed to delayed orders and sales in our China business, through the third quarter of 2024. We expect the 2024 stimulus program will result in opportunities for our business in China in the longer term, but it has had a short-term impact as provinces develop and announce their plans and customers wait to understand the details of the 2024 stimulus before making purchasing decisions. We expect the effects of the anti-corruption campaign and the delay in China 2024 stimulus to continue to impact our orders and sales in the near term, although we are unable to predict the exact duration or magnitude of the impact. We expect both of these impacts to be temporary, and we believe the focus of government policy in China on expanding access to healthcare will benefit our business in China in the long term.
Current wording
We continue to monitor developments in the market in China. In March 2024, the government in China announced a new stimulus program (“2024 stimulus”) that includes the healthcare sector and is being implemented through China’s provinces. In addition, the focus of the government in China on combating corruption in the healthcare sector remains ongoing, and we expect it to remain a focus in the future. These factors contributed to delayed orders and revenues in our China business throughout 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. We expect the 2024 stimulus program will result in opportunities for our business in China in the longer term, but it has had short-term impacts as provinces develop and announce their plans and customers begin to make purchasing decisions. We expect these factors to continue to impact our orders and revenues in the near term, although we are unable to predict the exact duration or magnitude of the impact. We expect both of these impacts to be temporary, and we believe the focus of government policy in China on expanding access to healthcare will benefit our business in China in the long term.

We had $152 million and $153 million of assets in, or directly related to, Russia and Ukraine as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, none of which are subject to sanctions that impact the carrying value of the assets. We generated revenues of $243 million and $228 million from customers in these two countries for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The potential inability to repatriate earnings from these two countries will not have a material impact on our ability to operate.

We generated revenues of $64 million and $77 million from customers in these two countries for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Previous wording
We continue to monitor the effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including the consideration of financial impact, cybersecurity risks, the applicability and effect of sanctions, and the employee base in Ukraine and Russia. In May 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce implemented expanded measures that required us to obtain a license for the export, re-export, or transfer of specified medical equipment and spare parts to customers in Russia. As of April 29, 2024, this requirement has been modified to permit us to export, re-export, or transfer medical equipment and spare parts that meet stated criteria under a License Exception, which is expected to eliminate the need for us to obtain individual U.S. licenses in most cases. The European Union and other countries have also expanded licensing requirements for certain spare parts, services, software, and other items. We will continue to apply for licenses to supply to these customers and to support our business in Russia, as required. The implementation of these measures affected our ability to supply customers in Russia during the first three quarters of 2024 and the last three quarters of 2023 and will continue to do so as we confirm applicability of the new U.S. License Exception to our transactions and continue to obtain licenses. There is no guarantee we will obtain all of the licenses for which we applied, that any approvals we obtain will be on a timely basis, or that our business in Russia will not be further disrupted due to evolving legal or operational considerations. The Board, together with management, will continue to assess whether developments related to the conflict have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company.
Current wording
We continue to monitor the effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including the consideration of financial impact, cybersecurity risks, the applicability and effect of sanctions, and the employee base in Ukraine and Russia. Under the current U.S. Department of Commerce regulations, we are permitted to export, re-export, or transfer medical equipment and spare parts that meet stated criteria under a License Exception, which has eliminated the need for us to obtain individual U.S. licenses in most cases; however, licenses still may be needed for some transactions. The European Union and other countries have also expanded licensing requirements for certain spare parts, services, software, and other items. We will continue to apply for licenses to supply to these customers and to support our business in Russia, as required. The implementation of these measures affected our ability to supply customers in Russia during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and will continue to do so as we confirm applicability of the U.S. License Exception to our transactions and continue to obtain licenses.
