    From the filings

    Now

    The Peripheral Vascular business s operating results have been affected by a reduction in forecasted cash flows reflecting near- term operational and supply constraints and a longer expected period to achieve anticipated growth and market recovery. These inputs were included in the updated projections used in our annual long-range financial plan, which was approved during the third quarter 2026. As a result of these factors, we performed an interim impairment assessment of goodwill, indefinite-lived and other long-lived assets of the Peripheral Vascular reporting unit and a charge of $293 was recognized in goodwill and other impairments in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

    New paragraph in MD&A.

    From the filings

    Now

    In our interim quantitative goodwill impairment test, the fair value of our Peripheral Vascular reporting unit was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, which is a form of the income approach. Significant inputs to the analysis included assumptions for future revenue growth, operating margin, the effective tax rate applied to future earnings and the rate used to discount the estimated future cash flows to their present value based on the reporting unit s estimated weighted average cost of capital. Our assumptions for revenue growth and operating margin considered several operating factors, including supply constraints and our competitive environment. We believe our estimates are appropriate based upon current and future market conditions and the best information available at the impairment assessment date; however, future impairment charges could be required if our

    The assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis are subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. The use of different assumptions, estimates or judgments with respect to the estimation of future cash flows and the determination of the discount rate used to reduce such estimated future cash flows to their net present value could materially affect the determination of any impairment charges. Hypothetical changes in our estimates of the discount rate, long-term revenue growth and long-term operating margin would result in incremental impairment charges as follows:

We typically do not incur costs to fulfill a contract before a product or service is provided to a customer due to the nature of our products and services. Our costs to obtain contracts are typically in the form of sales commissions paid to employees or third-party agents. Certain sales commissions paid to employees prior to recognition of sales are recorded as deferred contract costs. We expense sales commissions associated with obtaining a contract at the time of the sale or as incurred as the amortization period is generally less than one year. These costs have been presented within selling, general and administrative expenses. On June September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 deferred contracts costs recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets were not significant.

Our contract liabilities arise as a result of consideration received from customers at inception of contracts for certain businesses or where the timing of billing for services precedes satisfaction of our performance obligations. This occurs primarily when payment is received upfront for certain multi-period extended service contracts. Our contract liabilities of $ 997 960 and $ 1,024 on June 30,

Following this reorganization we continue to have two reportable segments, MedSurg and Neurotechnology and Orthopaedics.

We test goodwill annually for impairment at October 31 or

whenever events or circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. During the third quarter 2026, various factors indicated it was more likely than not that the carrying value of our

Peripheral Vascular reporting unit exceeded its fair value. As a result, we performed an interim impairment assessment of goodwill, indefinite-lived and other long-lived assets of the

Peripheral Vascular reporting unit and a charge of $ 293 was recognized in goodwill and other impairments in the Consolidated

Statements of Earnings. The impairment amount represents the excess of the carrying value of the Peripheral Vascular reporting unit over its fair value, which we estimated using an income- based valuation approach.

The impairment charge for the Peripheral Vascular reporting unit was primarily driven by a reduction in forecasted cash flows reflecting near-term operational and supply constraints and a longer expected period to achieve anticipated growth and market recovery. Significant inputs to the analysis included assumptions for future revenue growth, operating margin, the effective tax rate applied to future earnings and the rate used to discount the estimated future cash flows to their present value, based on the reporting unit s estimated weighted average cost of capital.

Future changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates

that are used in our impairment testing for goodwill, including discount and tax rates and future cash flow projections, could result in significantly different estimates of the fair values. A significant reduction in the estimated fair values could result in impairment charges that could materially affect our results of operations.

In the first quarter 2026 we changed our organizational structure as further described in Note 1. Following this reorganization we continue to have two reportable segments, MedSurg and

Neurotechnology and Orthopaedics. The reorganization impacts the composition of the Instruments and Joint Replacement reporting units and results in a new reporting unit representing the Ortho Tech business.
