1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (Mettler-Toledo or the Company) is a leading global supplier of precision instruments and services. The Company manufactures weighing instruments for use in laboratory, industrial, packaging, logistics and food retailing applications. The Company also manufactures several related analytical instruments and provides automated chemistry solutions used in drug and chemical compound discovery and development. In addition, the Company manufactures metal detection and other end-of-line inspection systems used in production and packaging and provides solutions for use in certain process analytics applications. The Company's primary manufacturing facilities are located in China, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Company's principal executive offices are located in Columbus, Ohio and Greifensee, Switzerland.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include all entities in which the Company has control, which are its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These financial statements were prepared using information reasonably available as of June 30, 2023 and through the date of this report. Actual results may differ from those estimates due to uncertainty in the economic environment and our end markets, ongoing developments in Ukraine and inflation, as well as other factors.

All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for expected credit losses represents the Company’s best estimate based on historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes direct materials, labor and overhead, is generally determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The estimated net realizable value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. Adjustments to the cost basis of the Company’s inventory are made for excess and obsolete items based on usage, orders and technological obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required.

Inventories consisted of the following:


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Raw materials and parts	$	199,229	$	222,170
Work-in-progress	74,800		77,848
Finished goods	120,930		141,676
	$	394,959	$	441,694

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over the net asset value of companies acquired, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The annual evaluation for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are generally based on an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount.

Other intangible assets include indefinite-lived assets and assets subject to amortization. Where applicable, amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit. The straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in each reporting period. The Company assesses the initial acquisition of intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805 "Business Combinations" and the continued accounting for previously recognized intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 "Intangible - Goodwill and Other" and ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment".

Other intangible assets consisted of the following:

The Company recognized amortization expense associated with the above intangible assets of $6.9 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $13.8 million and $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The annual aggregate amortization expense based on the current balance of other intangible assets is estimated to be $26.3 million for 2023, $25.8 million for 2024, $25.0 million for 2025, $21.1 million for 2026, $19.7 million for 2027, and $18.9 million for 2028. Purchased intangible amortization was $6.7 million, $5.2 million after tax, and $6.4 million, $4.9 million after tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $13.3 million, $10.3 million after tax, and $13.0 million, $10.1 million after tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In addition to the above amortization, the Company recorded amortization expense associated with capitalized software of $11.1 million and $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $22.0 million and $19.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Product revenue is recognized from contracts with customers when a customer has obtained control of a product. The Company considers control to have transferred based upon shipping terms. To the extent the Company’s arrangements have a separate performance obligation, revenue related to any post-shipment performance obligation is deferred until completed. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total net sales and the associated expense is a component of cost of sales. Certain products are also sold through indirect distribution channels whereby the distributor assumes any further obligations to the end customer. Revenue is recognized on these distributor arrangements upon transfer of control to the distributor. Contracts do not contain variable pricing arrangements that are retrospective, except for rebate programs. Rebates are estimated based on expected sales volumes and offset against revenue at the time such revenue is recognized. The Company generally maintains the right to accept or reject a product return in its terms and conditions and also maintains appropriate accruals for outstanding credits. The related provisions for estimated returns and rebates are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.

Certain of the Company’s product arrangements include separate performance obligations, primarily related to installation. Such performance obligations are accounted for separately when the deliverables have stand-alone value and the satisfaction of the undelivered performance obligations is probable and within the Company's control. The allocation of revenue between the performance obligations is based on the observable stand-alone selling prices at the time of the sale in accordance with a number of factors including service technician billing rates, time to install, and geographic location.

Software is generally not considered a distinct performance obligation with the exception of a few small software applications. The Company generally does not sell software products without the related hardware instrument as the software is embedded in the product. The Company’s products typically require no significant production, modification, or customization of the hardware or software that is essential to the functionality of the products.

Service revenue not under contract is recognized upon the completion of the service performed. Revenue from spare parts sold on a stand-alone basis is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment or delivery. Revenue from service contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period using a time-based method. These contracts represent an obligation to perform repair and other services including regulatory compliance qualification, calibration, certification, and preventative maintenance on a customer’s pre-defined equipment over the contract period.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded $4.2 million and $8.2 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $4.7 million and $9.2 million for the corresponding periods in 2022.

Research and Development

Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries, consulting and other costs. The Company expenses these costs as incurred.

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

The Company accounts for business acquisitions under the accounting standards for business combinations. The results of each acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated results as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values and any consideration in excess of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The determination of the values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill and intangible assets, require significant judgment. Acquisition transaction costs are expensed when incurred.

In circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the expected contingent payments as of the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded to other charges (income), net.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, January 2021 and December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01 and ASU-2022-06: Reference Rate Reform which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR or another referenced rate. The guidance may be applied to any applicable contract entered into before December 31, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company amended its credit agreement and cross currency swap agreements to change the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR and other non-U.S. dollar references, which did not change the amount or timing of cash flows. As a result, the discontinuation of LIBOR in June 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

3.REVENUE

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by product, service, timing of revenue recognition and geography. A summary of revenue by the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 follows:

The Company's product revenue by reportable segment is proportionately similar to the Company's global mix except the Company's Swiss Operations is largely comprised of laboratory products while the Company's Chinese Operations has a slightly higher percentage of industrial products. A breakdown of the Company’s sales by product category for the three and six months ended June 30 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Laboratory	$	526,699	$	545,925	$	1,046,730	$	1,059,475
Industrial	399,001		384,173		754,181		727,911
Retail	56,417		48,289		109,944		88,792
Total	$	982,117	$	978,387	$	1,910,855	$	1,876,178

The payment terms in the Company’s contracts with customers do not exceed one year and therefore contracts do not contain a significant financing component. In most cases, after appropriate credit evaluations, payments are due in arrears and are recognized as receivables. Unbilled revenue is recorded when performance obligations have been satisfied, but not yet billed to the customer. Unbilled revenue as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $40.0 million and $29.2 million, respectively, and is included within accounts receivable. Deferred revenue and customer prepayments are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of the performance obligation being satisfied. Deferred revenue primarily includes prepaid service contracts, as well as deferred installation.

Changes in the components of deferred revenue and customer prepayments during the six month periods ending June 30, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:


	2023		2022
Beginning balances as of January 1	$	192,759	$	192,648
Customer pre-payments/deferred revenue	343,373		377,052
Revenue recognized	(332,005)		(345,070)
Foreign currency translation	422		(9,497)
Ending balance as of June 30	$	204,549	$	215,133

The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the contract period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses. The value of unsatisfied performance obligations other than customer prepayments and deferred revenue associated with contracts greater than one year is immaterial.

4. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. The Company enters into certain interest rate and cross currency swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The amount of the Company's fixed obligation interest payments may change based upon the expiration dates of its interest rate and cross currency swap agreements and the level and composition of its debt. The Company also enters into certain foreign currency forward contracts to limit the Company's exposure to currency fluctuations on the respective hedged items. For additional disclosures on derivative instruments regarding balance sheet location, fair value, and the amounts reclassified into other comprehensive income and the effective portion of the cash flow hedges, also see Note 5 and Note 9 to the interim consolidated financial statements. As also described in Note 7, the Company has designated its euro-denominated debt as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated foreign subsidiaries.

Cash Flow Hedges

In June 2023, the Company entered into a cross currency swap arrangement designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement converts $50 million of borrowings under the Company's credit facility into synthetic Swiss franc debt, which allows the Company to effectively change the floating rate SOFR-based interest payments, excluding the credit spread, to a fixed Swiss franc expense of 1.55%. The swap replaced the agreement that matured in June 2023. The swap matures in June 2027.

The Company amended all active cross currency swap agreements to replace all references of LIBOR to SOFR as the interest rate benchmark to align with the amendment to the Company's Credit Facility Agreement, as discussed in Note 7 to the interim consolidated financial statements. As part of these amendments, the corresponding fixed Swiss Franc interest rates were amended as well to reflect the change in the benchmark.

In November 2021, the Company entered into a cross currency swap arrangement designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement converts $50 million of borrowings under the Company's credit facility into synthetic Swiss franc debt, which allows the Company to effectively change the floating rate SOFR-based interest payments, excluding the credit spread, to a fixed Swiss franc income of 0.67%. The swap matures in November 2023.

In June 2021, the Company entered into a cross currency swap arrangement designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement converts $50 million of borrowings under the Company's credit facility into synthetic Swiss franc debt, which allows the Company to effectively change the floating rate SOFR-based interest payments, excluding the credit spread to a fixed Swiss franc income of 0.59%. The swap matures in June 2025.

In June 2019, the Company entered into a cross currency swap arrangement designated as a cash flow hedge. The agreement converts $50 million of borrowings under the Company's credit facility into synthetic Swiss franc debt, which allows the Company to effectively change the floating rate LIBOR-based interest payments, excluding the credit spread, to a fixed Swiss franc income of 0.82%. The swap matured in June 2023.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share data, unless otherwise stated)

The Company's cash flow hedges are recorded gross at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. A derivative gain of $7.1 million based upon interest rates at June 30, 2023, is expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings in the next twelve months. The cash flow hedges remain effective as of June 30, 2023.

Other Derivatives

The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts in order to economically hedge short-term trade and non-trade intercompany balances largely denominated in Swiss franc, other major European currencies, and the Chinese Renminbi with its foreign businesses. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, these contracts are considered “derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.” Gains or losses on these instruments are reported in current earnings. The foreign currency forward contracts are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as disclosed in Note 5. The Company recognized in other charges (income) a net loss of $19.0 million and net loss of $10.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a net loss of $15.5 million and a net loss of $8.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which offset the related transaction gains (losses) associated with these contracts. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, these contracts had a notional value of $725.0 million and $930.3 million, respectively.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had derivative assets totaling $5.9 million and $11.5 million respectively, and derivative liabilities totaling $9.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and therefore does not need to present all the required disclosures in tabular format. The fair values of the cross-currency swap agreements and foreign currency forward contracts that economically hedge short-term intercompany balances are estimated based upon inputs from current valuation information obtained from dealer quotes and priced with observable market assumptions and appropriate valuation adjustments for credit risk. The Company has evaluated the valuation methodologies used to develop the fair values by dealers in order to determine whether such valuations are representative of an exit price in the Company’s principal market. In addition, the Company uses an internally developed model to perform testing on the valuations received from brokers. The Company has also considered both its own credit risk and counterparty credit risk in determining fair value and determined these adjustments were insignificant at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement consists of observable and unobservable inputs that reflect the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A fair value hierarchy has been established that categorizes these inputs into three levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3: Unobservable inputs

The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities, which are all categorized as Level 2, that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities which are categorized as Level 1:


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022		Balance Sheet Classification
Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments	$	2,685	$	3,958	Other current assets and prepaid expenses
Cash Flow Hedges:
Cross currency swap agreement	1,060		609		Other current assets and prepaid expenses
Cross currency swap agreement	2,117		6,890		Other non-current assets
Total derivative assets	$	5,862	$	11,457

Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments	$	6,844	$	2,056	Accrued and other liabilities
Cash Flow Hedges:
Cross currency swap agreement	1,468		3,366		Accrued and other liabilities
Cross currency swap agreement	1,019		—		Other non-current liabilities
Total derivative liabilities	$	9,331	$	5,422

The Company had $23.0 million and $25.3 million of cash equivalents at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the fair value of which is determined using Level 2 inputs, through quoted and corroborated prices in active markets. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates cost.

The fair value of the Company's debt is less than the carrying value by approximately $248.0 million as of June 30, 2023. The fair value of the Company's fixed interest rate debt was estimated using Level 2 inputs, primarily discounted cash flow models, based on estimated current rates offered for similar debt under current market conditions for the Company.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, $10.0 million of contingent consideration was paid relating to the PendoTECH acquisition of which $5.6 million is included in financing activities for the amount accrued at the acquisition date and $4.4 million is included in operating activities for the amount not accrued at the acquisition date on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, $10.0 million of contingent consideration was paid relating to the PendoTECH acquisition of which $7.9 million is included in financing activities and $2.1 million is included in operating activities for the amount not accrued at the acquisition date on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The Company no longer has a contingent consideration obligation relating to the PendoTECH acquisition as of June 30, 2023.

6. INCOME TAXES

The Company's reported tax rate was 18.8% and 17.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively and 17.9% and 17.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The provision for taxes is based upon using the Company's projected annual effective tax rate of 19.0% before non-recurring discrete tax items during both 2023 and 2022. The difference between the Company's projected annual effective tax rate and the reported tax rate is primarily related to the timing of excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises.

September 2037. Interest on the 2.81% and 2.91% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in March and September each year. Interest payments on the 2.81% Senior Notes began in September 2022 and interest on the 2.91% began in March 2023. The terms of the Senior Notes are consistent with the previous Senior Notes as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the notes to refinance existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

The Company has designated the EUR 125 million 1.47% Euro Senior Notes, the EUR 135 million 1.30% Euro Senior Notes, and the EUR 125 million 1.06% Euro Senior Notes as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated foreign subsidiaries to reduce foreign currency risk associated with the net investment. Changes in the carrying value of this debt resulting from fluctuations in the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive income (loss). The Company recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) related to this net investment hedge an unrealized loss of $3.6 million and an unrealized gain of $19.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and an unrealized loss of $8.9 million and an unrealized gain of $30.4 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Other Local Arrangements

In April 2018, two of the Company's non-U.S. pension plans issued loans totaling $39.6 million (Swiss franc 38 million) to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The loans have the same terms and conditions, which include an interest rate of SARON plus 87.5 basis points. The loans were renewed for one year in April 2023.

8. SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND TREASURY STOCK

The Company has $3.0 billion of remaining availability for its share repurchase program as of June 30, 2023. The share repurchases are expected to be funded from cash generated from operating activities, borrowings, and cash balances. Repurchases will be made through open market transactions, and the amount and timing of purchases will depend on business and market conditions, the stock price, trading restrictions, the level of acquisition activity, and other factors.

The Company has purchased 31.4 million shares since the inception of the program in 2004 through June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company spent $500.0 million and $550.0 million on the repurchase of 344,382 shares and 408,901 shares at an average price per share of $1,464.00 and $1,345.05, respectively. The Company also reissued 70,191 shares and 72,408 shares held in treasury upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, the Company incurred $2.3 million and $4.2 million of excise tax during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 related to the Inflation Reduction Act which is reflected as a reduction in shareholders' equity in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

14. CONTINGENCIES

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements included herein.

General

Our interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023.

Changes in local currency exclude the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations. Local currency amounts are determined by translating current and previous year consolidated financial information at an index utilizing historical currency exchange rates. We believe local currency information provides a helpful assessment of business performance and a useful measure of results between periods. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We present non-GAAP financial measures in reporting our financial results to provide investors with an additional analytical tool to evaluate our operating results.

We also include in the discussion below disclosures of immaterial qualitative factors that are not quantified. Although the impact of such factors is not considered material, we believe these disclosures can be useful in evaluating our operating results.

Results of Operations – Consolidated

The following tables set forth certain items from our interim consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (amounts in thousands).

Net sales

Net sales were $982.1 million and $978.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively, and $1.9 billion for the six months ended both June 30, 2023 and 2022. Sales in U.S. dollars were flat for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and increased 2% in U.S. dollars for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations, or in local currencies, net sales increased 2% and 4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Our net sales growth during the three months ended June 30,

2023 included strong growth in our Service business, as well as solid performance across our Industrial product categories, which was offset in part by softer market conditions in Laboratory products and China following very strong growth in recent years. We continue to benefit from the execution of our global sales and marketing programs, our innovative product portfolio, and investments in our field organization, particularly surrounding digital tools and techniques. However, there is increased uncertainty in the economic environment and our end markets, including the risk of recession in many countries, and market conditions may change quickly. In particular, market demand in China has deteriorated sharply and we expect reduced sales during the remainder of 2023 as compared to the prior year. The ongoing developments related to Ukraine and inflation also present several risks to our business as further described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. These topics could adversely impact our financial results and could have a greater impact on our operating results in future periods.

Net sales by geographic destination for the three months ended June 30, 2023 in U.S. dollars increased 1% in the Americas, 1% in Europe, and decreased 1% in Asia/Rest of World. In local currencies, our net sales by geographic destination increased 1% in the Americas, 4% in Asia/Rest of World, and were flat in Europe. Our net sales by geographic destination for the six months ended June 30, 2023 in U.S. dollars increased 3% in the Americas, 2% in Europe, and 1% in Asia/Rest of World. Net sales by geographic destination for the six months ended June 30, 2023 in local currencies increased 3% in the Americas, 3% in Europe, and 6% in Asia/Rest of World. Net sales growth in Asia/Rest of World in local currency includes 3% and 6% growth in China during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. A discussion of sales by operating segment is included below.

As described in Note 18 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, our net sales comprise product sales of precision instruments and related services. Service revenues are primarily derived from repair and other services, including regulatory compliance qualification, calibration, certification, preventative maintenance and spare parts.

Net sales of products decreased 3% in U.S. dollars and 1% in local currencies for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased 1% in U.S. dollars and increased 2% in local currencies for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. Service revenue (including spare parts) increased by 13% in both U.S. dollars and local currencies for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and increased 12% in U.S. dollars and 14% in local currencies for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022.

Net sales of our laboratory products and services, which represented approximately 55% of our total net sales, decreased 4% in U.S. dollars and 3% in local currencies for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and decreased 1% in U.S. dollars and increased 1% in local currencies for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The local currency decrease in net sales of our laboratory-related products for the three months ended June 30, 2023 includes a decline in most product categories, especially pipettes, partially offset by strong growth in analytical instruments. Net sales of our laboratory products also benefited from solid growth in process analytics for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Net sales of our industrial products and services, which represented approximately 39% of our total net sales, increased 4% in U.S. dollars and 6% in local currencies for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2023. The local currency increase in net sales of our industrial-related products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 includes solid growth in both core industrial and product inspection.

Net sales in our food retailing products and services, which represented approximately 6% of our total net sales, increased 17% in both U.S. dollars and local currencies for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased 24% in U.S. dollars and 25% in local currencies for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The local currency increase in food retailing products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 includes very strong project activity in the Americas. The six months ended June 30, 2023 also benefited from strong project activity in Europe.

Gross profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 59.4% and 58.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 59.1% and 58.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for products was 60.9% and 60.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 60.5% and 59.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for services (including spare parts) was 54.5% and 50.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 54.6% and 51.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily reflects favorable price realization, offset in part by higher costs, business mix and foreign currency translation.

Research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses

Research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales was 4.8% and 4.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and was 4.9% and 4.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Research and development expenses increased 7% in U.S. dollars and 6% in local currencies for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased 7% in both U.S. dollars and in local currencies for the six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022 due to increased project activity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 23.3% and 24.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and were 24.2% and 25.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 6% in both U.S. dollars and in local currencies for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and decreased 3% in U.S. dollars and 2% in local currencies for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The local currency decrease includes reduced variable compensation and benefits from our cost savings initiatives.

Amortization, interest expense, restructuring charges, other charges (income), net and taxes

Amortization expense was $18.0 million and $16.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $35.8 million and $33.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest expense was $19.2 million and $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $37.4 million and $24.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in interest expense is related to higher variable interest rates, as well as additional borrowings.

Restructuring charges were $8.0 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $12.3 million and $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Restructuring expenses are primarily comprised of employee-related costs.

Other charges (income), net includes non-service pension costs (benefits), net (gains) losses from foreign currency transactions and hedging activities, interest income and other items. Non-service pension benefits were $1.9 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $3.7 million and $8.5 million and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Table of Contents

Our reported tax rate was 18.8% and 17.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 17.9% and 17.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The provision for taxes is based upon using our projected annual effective tax rate of 19.0% before non-recurring discrete tax items for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The difference between our projected annual effective tax rate and the reported tax rate is related to the timing of excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises.

Results of Operations – by Operating Segment

The following is a discussion of the financial results of our operating segments. We currently have five reportable segments: U.S. Operations, Swiss Operations, Western European Operations, Chinese Operations and Other.

Total net sales increased 1% in U.S. dollars and 14% in local currencies for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and increased 1% in U.S. dollars and 3% in local currencies for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. Net sales to external customers increased 1% in U.S. dollars and 14% in local currencies for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and increased 2% in U.S. dollars and 5% in local currencies for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. Local currency net sales to external customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 includes significant growth in process analytics and solid growth in industrial products, offset in part by a significant decline in pipette products.

Segment profit increased $3.5 million and $9.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. Segment profit increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 due to benefits from our margin expansion and cost savings initiatives, offset in part by unfavorable currency translation.

1)Represents U.S. dollar growth for net sales and segment profit.

Total net sales decreased 5% in U.S. dollars and increased 4% in local currency for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased 6% in U.S. dollars and were flat in local currency for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. Net sales to external customers decreased 4% in U.S. dollars and increased 5% in local currency by origin for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased 1% in U.S. dollars and increased 5% in local currency during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. The increase in local currency net sales to external customers during the three months ended June 30, 2023 reflects good growth in industrial products, while laboratory products increased modestly and included a significant decline in pipette products. However, market demand in China has deteriorated sharply and we expect reduced sales during the remainder of 2023 as compared to the prior year. Uncertainties have increased and market conditions may change quickly. We also will continue to face difficult prior period comparisons in 2023 relating to our strong prior years' performance.

Segment profit increased $14.3 million and $10.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. The

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities to meet our obligations and commitments. In addition, liquidity includes available borrowings under our Credit Agreement, the ability to obtain appropriate financing and our cash and cash equivalent balances. Currently, our liquidity needs are primarily driven by working capital requirements, capital expenditures, share repurchases and acquisitions. Global market conditions can be uncertain, and our ability to generate cash flow could be reduced by a deterioration in global markets.

We currently believe that cash flows from operating activities, together with liquidity available under our Credit Agreement, local working capital facilities, and cash balances, will be sufficient to fund currently anticipated working capital needs and spending requirements for at least the foreseeable future.

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $420.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $310.0 million in the corresponding period in 2022. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily related to working capital and lower cash incentive payments of $20 million.

Capital expenditures are made primarily for investments in information systems and technology, machinery, equipment and the purchase and expansion of facilities. Our capital expenditures totaled $51.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $62.4 million in the corresponding period in 2022.

In September 2021, we entered into an agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense to increase domestic production capacity of pipette tips and enhance manufacturing automation and logistics. As of June 30, 2023, we have obtained $30.9 million of the $35.8 million of total funding to be received through the remainder of 2023, which will offset associated capital expenditures.

- 29 -

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, we incurred approximately $7.1 million and $24.9 million of capital expenditures relating to this funding agreement, respectively.

We continue to explore potential acquisitions. In connection with any acquisition, we may incur additional indebtedness. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $10.0 million of contingent consideration was paid relating to the PendoTECH acquisition of which $5.6 million is included in financing activities for the amount accrued at the acquisition date and $4.4 million is included in operating activities for the amount not accrued at the acquisition date on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Cash flows used in financing activities are primarily comprised of share repurchases. In accordance with our share repurchase program, we spent $500.0 million and $550.0 million on the repurchase of 344,382 shares and 408,901 shares, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was enacted on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes provisions imposing a 1% excise tax on net share repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022 and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) on adjusted financial statement income. We expect the financial impact of the IRA to be immaterial to our financial statements.

In May 2023 we amended our Credit Agreement to replace all references of LIBOR to SOFR and other non-U.S. dollar references as the interest rate benchmark.

Changes in exchange rates between the currencies in which we generate cash flows and the currencies in which our borrowings are denominated affect our liquidity. In addition, because we borrow in a variety of currencies, our debt balances fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. Further, we do not have any downgrade triggers relating to ratings from rating agencies that would accelerate the maturity dates of our debt. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2023.

In December 2022, we entered into an agreement to issue and sell $150 million 10-year Senior Notes in a private placement. We issued $150 million with a fixed interest rate of 5.45% (5.45% Senior Notes) in March 2023. The 5.45% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The 5.45% Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2033. The terms of the 5.45% Senior Notes are consistent with the previous Senior Notes as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. We used the proceeds from the sale of the 5.45% Senior Notes to refinance existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

In December 2021, we entered into an agreement to issue and sell $300 million 15-year Senior Notes in a private placement. We issued $150 million with a fixed interest rate of 2.81% (2.81% Senior Notes) in March 2022, which will mature in March 2037, and an additional $150 million with a fixed interest rate of 2.91% (2.91% Senior Notes) in September 2022, which will mature in September 2037. We will use the proceeds from the sale of the notes to refinance existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.

Other Local Arrangements

In April 2018, two of our non-U.S. pension plans issued loans totaling $39.6 million (Swiss franc 38 million) to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The loans have the same terms and conditions which include an interest rate of SARON plus 87.5 basis points. The loans were renewed for one year in April 2023.

Share Repurchase Program

We have $3.0 billion of remaining availability for our share repurchase program as of June 30, 2023. The share repurchases are expected to be funded from cash generated from operating activities, borrowings, and cash balances. Repurchases will be made through open market transactions, and the amount and timing of purchases will depend on business and market conditions, the stock price, trading restrictions, the level of acquisition activity, and other factors.

We have purchased 31.4 million shares since the inception of the program in 2004 through June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we spent $500.0 million and $550.0 million on the repurchase of 344,382 and 408,901 shares at an average price per share of $1,464.00 and $1,345.05, respectively. We also reissued 70,191 shares and 72,408 shares held in treasury upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Effect of Currency on Results of Operations

Our earnings are affected by changes in exchange rates. We are most sensitive to changes in the exchange rates between the Swiss franc, euro, Chinese renminbi, and U.S. dollar. We have more Swiss franc expenses than we do Swiss franc sales because we develop and manufacture products in Switzerland that we sell globally, and have a number of corporate functions located in Switzerland. When the Swiss franc strengthens against our other trading currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar and euro, our earnings decrease. We also have significantly more sales in the euro than we do expenses. When the euro weakens against the U.S. dollar and Swiss franc, our earnings also decrease. We estimate a 1% strengthening of the Swiss franc against the euro would reduce our earnings before tax by approximately $1.9 million to $2.1 million annually.

- 31 -

We also conduct business in many geographies throughout the world, including Asia Pacific, the United Kingdom, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Canada. Fluctuations in these currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar can also affect our operating results. The most significant of these currency exposures is the Chinese renminbi. The impact on our earnings before tax of the Chinese renminbi weakening 1% against the U.S. dollar is a reduction of approximately $3.8 million to $4.3 million annually.

In addition to the effects of exchange rate movements on operating profits, our debt levels can fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates, particularly between the U.S. dollar, the Swiss franc and the euro. Based on our outstanding debt at June 30, 2023, we estimate that a 5% weakening of the U.S. dollar against the currencies in which our debt is denominated would result in an increase of approximately $35.5 million in the reported U.S. dollar value of our debt.
