Trends and Factors Impacting Our Performance
We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and particularly in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
KEY TRENDS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Global Trade and Macroeconomic Environment
Starting in February 2025, the U.S. imposed a variety of new tariffs on most imports from nearly all countries in the world. Tariffs by the U.S. and several other countries have materially impacted our financial results and should the tariffs continue at current levels, we expect to continue to see a material impact. Additional tariffs or other trade restrictions by the U.S. or by other countries where we do significant business could further materially impact our results in the future. While we are taking actions to mitigate the impact of tariffs, we do not expect that our mitigation actions will fully offset the additional costs or other negative impacts resulting from the tariffs. Tariffs negatively impacted our Operating income by $68 million and $156 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $43 million and $52 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Our cash flows were negatively impacted by $63 million and $175 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $87 million and $95 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. These impacts are exclusive of any benefits from tariff refunds as disclosed below.
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) does not authorize the President to impose tariffs thereunder and in April 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced a new administrative process for importers to obtain refunds of certain tariffs imposed under IEEPA. In the second quarter of 2026, the Company submitted refund claims, received $107 million of refunds, and recorded a $38 million receivable for submitted claims not yet reimbursed within Receivables - net of allowances in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. In the second quarter of 2026, we recognized pre-tax benefits from tariff refunds of $106 million related to tariffs incurred in 2025 and $23 million related to tariffs incurred in 2026, all of which are recorded within Cost of products sold and Cost of services sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. While the Company believes recovery of the submitted claims is probable, the ultimate amount and timing of recovery remain subject to validation and administrative processing procedures, as well as potential legal, regulatory, and administrative developments. Accordingly, actual recoveries could differ from recorded amounts. The Company intends to continue to file claims for additional tariff refunds, predominantly related to tariffs incurred in 2025. The timing and amount of any additional refunds remain uncertain and are subject to eligibility requirements, administrative processing, and other limitations.
We continue to monitor the global markets in which we operate for changes in customer behavior, changes in government procurement and reimbursement, and indirect impacts from the tariffs. Should these or other 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 also continue to monitor potential impacts on purchasing decisions by both public and private customers in China and other markets as a 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.
Other Geopolitical and Macroeconomic Uncertainties
Global geopolitical instability, including the conflict in the Middle East, adversely impacted our costs, supply chains, and logistics during the second quarter of 2026. These conditions resulted in increased costs and challenges in maintaining service levels in affected areas.
We continue to monitor impacts related to key raw materials directly and indirectly related to our products or delivery of our products, including memory chips, logistics (inclusive of freight), and other costs linked to the price of oil and other critical components. Sustained cost inflation or constrained availability of critical components could negatively impact our ability to both produce and deliver products to our customers in a timely manner. We continue to take action to mitigate the exposures under the current environment by securing supply and identifying opportunities to partially offset cost increases; however, if the current environment continues or deteriorates further we will continue to see adverse impacts to our results.
China Market
We believe the focus of government policy in China is on expanding access to healthcare. In addition, our investments to address clinical needs, localization, and commercial infrastructure should benefit our business in China in the long term. However, we continue to monitor developments in the China market, including increased competition from local companies and the prevalence of volume based procurement policies, both of which have impacted our orders and revenues and may continue to do so.
Russia and Ukraine Conflict
We had $190 million and $214 million of assets in, or directly related to, Russia and Ukraine as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, none of which are subject to sanctions that impact the carrying value of the assets. We generated revenues of $106 million and $123 million from customers in these two countries for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The potential inability to repatriate earnings from these two countries will not have a material impact on our ability to operate.
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 six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and is expected to continue to do so. There is no guarantee we will obtain all of the licenses for which we apply, that any approvals we obtain will be on a timely basis, will remain in effect, or that our business in Russia will not be further disrupted due to evolving legal or operational considerations. We will continue to assess whether developments related to the conflict have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company.
