NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Fortive Corporation (“Fortive,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a provider of essential technologies for connected workflow solutions across a range of attractive end-markets. Our strategic segments - Intelligent Operating Solutions (“IOS”), Precision Technologies (“PT”), and Advanced Healthcare Solutions (“AHS”) - include well-known brands with leading positions in their markets. Our businesses design, develop, manufacture, and service professional and engineered products, software, and services, building upon leading brand names, innovative technologies, and significant market positions. Our research and development, manufacturing, sales, distribution, service, and administrative facilities are located in more than 50 countries around the world.
We prepared the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the footnotes (“Notes”) thereto included within our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, which consist of only normal, recurring accruals necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 29, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Segment Realignment
In January 2024, we realigned Invetech from the AHS segment to the PT segment, as we explored strategic alternatives for certain products and services of Invetech (the “Segment Realignment”). In March 2024, we entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the management of Invetech, pursuant to which we will transfer ownership of certain product lines of Invetech to its current management team. The products and operations of Invetech that we will retain following such transfer of ownership are more closely aligned with the PT segment than the AHS segment. Prior period segment amounts in Note 3, 6, and 11 have been recast to conform to the revised segment presentation.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Foreign currency translation adjustments are generally not adjusted for income taxes as they relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. As of March 29, 2024, our outstanding €500 million Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2026, €700 million Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2029, €275 million Euro-denominated term loan, and ¥14.4 billion Yen-denominated term loan were designated as net investment hedges of our investment in applicable foreign operations.
We recognized after-tax foreign currency transaction gains of $8.4 million and losses of $1.7 million during the three-month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, on the debt that was deferred in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on our investments in foreign subsidiaries. Any amounts deferred in AOCI will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated. We recorded no ineffectiveness from our net investment hedges during the three-month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023.

(b) This component of AOCI is included in the computation of net periodic pension cost (refer to Note 11 in our most recently filed Form 10-K for additional details).
(c) The income tax impact amount was rounded to zero.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
All trade accounts and unbilled receivables are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets adjusted for any write-offs and net of allowances for credit losses. The allowances for credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our unbilled and trade accounts receivable portfolios over the life of the underlying assets. Additions to the allowances are charged to current period earnings, amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against the allowances, while amounts recovered on previously written-off accounts increase the allowances. During the three-month periods ending March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the activity was immaterial.
Property Sale
On March 14, 2024, we sold land and certain office buildings in our PT segment for $90 million, for which we received $20 million in cash proceeds and a $70 million promissory note secured by a letter of credit, with principal due in August and November 2024. The promissory note is recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets. During the three-month period ended March 29, 2024, we recorded a gain on sale of property of $63.1 million in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
Concurrently, using a portion of the proceeds from the property sale, we entered into an arm’s length transaction with the Fortive Foundation (the “Foundation”), pledging a charitable contribution of $20 million, which had no donor imposed conditions or restrictions. The Foundation, a not-for-profit entity, is a related party due to certain Fortive executives serving as members of the entity’s board of directors. The charitable contribution is recorded within the “Other non-operating expense, net” line in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings and the liability related to the pledged donation is recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Table of Contents
Restructuring
We initiated a discrete plan in the first quarter of 2023 that was completed during the fourth quarter of 2023. The nature of these activities were broadly consistent throughout our segments and consist primarily of targeted workforce reductions in response to overall macroeconomic and other external conditions. We incurred these costs to position ourselves to provide superior products and services to customers in a cost-efficient manner, while taking into consideration the impact of broad economic uncertainties. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, we incurred charges of $17.6 million. These charges are recorded within Cost of sales and Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Accrued restructuring costs were $13 million and $26 million as of March 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and are recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which amends the disclosure requirements for reportable segments on the interim and annual basis. This standard is effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and interim periods within fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the standard will not impact our consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, we will update the applicable interim and annual disclosures to align with the new standard.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends certain disclosure requirements related to income taxes on an annual basis. This standard is effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the standard will not impact our consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, we will update the applicable annual disclosures to align with the new standard.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS
We continually evaluate potential mergers and acquisitions that align with our business portfolio strategy. We have completed a number of acquisitions that have been accounted for as purchases of businesses and resulted in the recognition of goodwill in our financial statements. This goodwill arises when the purchase price for an acquired business exceeds its identifiable assets, net of liabilities. The purchase price for acquired businesses reflect a number of factors, including the future earnings and cash flow potential of the business, the strategic fit and resulting synergies from the complementary portfolio of the acquired business to our existing operations, industry expertise, and market access.
The purchase price allocation is provisional and is subject to further adjustments as we finalize the measurement of the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, as well as the associated income tax considerations. The preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired was based on several estimates and assumptions. As additional information necessary to complete the valuation is obtained and analyzed, we will make appropriate adjustments to purchase price allocations prior to completion of the applicable measurement period, as required and as soon as practicable.
During the three-month period ended March 29, 2024, immaterial adjustments were made to the purchase price allocation of prior year acquisitions.
2024
On January 3, 2024, we acquired EA Elektro-Automatik Holding GmbH (“EA”), a leading supplier of high-power electronic test solutions for energy storage, mobility, hydrogen, and renewable energy applications. The acquisition of EA will bolster our innovative portfolio of products and services for engineers with complementary test and measurement solutions enabling the global energy transition. The total consideration paid was approximately $1.72 billion, net of acquired cash. We funded this transaction with financing activities and available cash. We recorded approximately $1.2 billion of goodwill within our PT segment related to the EA acquisition, which is not tax deductible.
For the three-month period ended March 29, 2024, we incurred approximately $27 million of pretax transaction-related costs related to the EA acquisition, which were primarily for banking fees, legal fees, and amounts paid to other third-party advisers. These costs were recorded within Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Earnings.

2023
During 2023, we made four acquisitions (“the 2023 acquisitions”) in our IOS segment for an aggregate cash consideration of $101.4 million, which includes an immaterial deferred payment, net of acquired cash. The 2023 acquisitions are intended to accelerate our strategy and strengthen our product portfolio, providing world-class solutions to our customers. We recorded approximately $55.8 million of goodwill related to the acquisitions, which is not tax deductible, as well as $43.2 million of intangible assets, primarily consisting of customer relationships, technology, and trade names. All other acquired assets and assumed liabilities are immaterial.

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of their legal or estimated useful lives.
During the three-month period ended March 29, 2024, we acquired finite-lived intangible assets, consisting of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade names, with a weighted average life of approximately 9 years as a result of the EA acquisition. Refer to Note 2 for additional information on the intangible assets acquired.
NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value for assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value, and provide for certain disclosures related to the valuation methods used within the valuation hierarchy as established within the accounting standards. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other observable characteristics for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our assumptions. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Below is a summary of financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis ($ in millions):

Deferred compensation liabilities $   $ 43.2  $   $ 43.2 
December 31, 2023
Deferred compensation liabilities   39.9    39.9 
Certain management employees participate in our nonqualified deferred compensation programs that permit such employees to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pretax basis, until after their termination of employment. All amounts deferred under such plans are unfunded, unsecured obligations and are recorded within Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Participants may choose among alternative earning rates for the amounts they defer, which are primarily based on investment options within our defined contribution plans for the benefit of U.S. employees (except that the earnings rates for amounts contributed unilaterally by the Company are entirely based on changes in the value of Fortive common stock). Changes in the deferred compensation liability under these programs are recognized based on changes in the fair value of the participants’ accounts and are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.

Table of Contents
Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
Certain non-financial assets, primarily property, plant, and equipment, goodwill, and intangible assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are reported at their carrying value. However, these assets are required to be assessed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be fully recoverable, and at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. We evaluated events or circumstances that may indicate the carrying value of our non-financial assets may not be fully recoverable during the three-month period ended March 29, 2024, and recorded no impairments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount and fair value of financial instruments are as follows ($ in millions):
March 29, 2024 December 31, 2023
Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value
Long-term debt
$ 3,941.7  $ 3,835.4  $ 3,646.2  $ 3,539.4 
As of March 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, net of current maturities were categorized as Level 1.
The fair value of the long-term borrowings were based on quoted market prices. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amounts of long-term borrowings may be attributable to changes in market interest rates and/or our credit ratings subsequent to the borrowing. The fair value of cash and equivalents, trade accounts receivable, net, trade accounts payable, and commercial paper approximates their carrying amount due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

On February 13, 2024, we completed the registered offering of the following Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes:
500 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.7% Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) issued at 99.928% of their principal amount and bearing interest at 3.7% per annum. The 2026 Notes mature on February 13, 2026 with interest payable in arrears on February 13 of each year, beginning in 2025.
700 million in aggregate principal amount of our 3.7% Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) issued at 99.943% of their principal amount and bearing interest at 3.7% per annum. The 2029 Notes mature on August 15, 2029 with interest payable in arrears on August 15 of each year, beginning in 2024.
The net proceeds from the offering, after underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, were approximately $1.3 billion based on the currency exchange rates at which the Euro denominated proceeds were converted into U.S. dollars.

We used the net proceeds to refinance the $1.0 billion outstanding principal of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Due 2024, refinance borrowings under the U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper, and for general corporate purposes.
Redemption Provisions and Covenants Applicable to 2026 and 2029 Notes
Prior to July 15, 2029 for the 2029 Notes, and prior to maturity for the 2026 Notes, we may redeem the applicable series of notes at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the applicable make-whole redemption price specified in the indentures. On or after July 15, 2029, we may redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
We may, at our option, redeem the applicable series of notes, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such series of notes to be redeemed, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date, at any time, if as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws, regulations, treaties, or rulings of the United States or any political subdivision of or in the United States or any taxing authority thereof or therein affecting taxation, or any change in, or amendment to, the application, official interpretation, administration or enforcement of such laws, regulations, treaties or rulings (including a holding by a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States), which change or amendment is enacted, adopted, announced or become effective, we become or, based upon a written opinion of independent counsel selected by us, will become obligated to pay additional amounts with respect to the applicable series of notes.
If a change of control triggering event occurs, we will, in certain circumstances, be required to make an offer to repurchase the notes from each holder at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including the repurchase date. A change of control triggering event is defined as the occurrence of both a change of control and a rating event, each as defined in the indentures. Except in connection with a change of control triggering event, the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes do not have any credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity of the notes.
The 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes contain customary covenants. None of these covenants are considered restrictive to our operations and as of March 29, 2024, we were in compliance with all of our covenants.
Delayed-Draw Term Loan due 2024
On January 2, 2024, we drew down an additional $450 million of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan due 2024 as part of the funding for the acquisition of EA, with $1.0 billion outstanding immediately following such additional draw. Refer to Note 2 for additional information regarding the EA acquisition. On February 13, 2024, we used the net proceeds from the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes to refinance the entire $1.0 billion outstanding principal and accrued interest thereon.
Other Liquidity Sources
We generally satisfy any short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flows and available cash primarily through issuances of commercial paper under our U.S. dollar and Euro-denominated commercial paper programs (“Commercial Paper Programs”). Under these programs, we may issue unsecured promissory notes with maturities not exceeding 397 and 183 days, respectively.
Interest expense on commercial paper is paid at maturity and is generally based on our credit ratings at the time of issuance and prevailing short-term interest rates.

The details of our outstanding Commercial Paper Programs as of March 29, 2024 were as follows ($ in millions):
Carrying value (a)
Annual effective rate Weighted average maturity (in days)
U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper $ 818.4  5.56  % 28
(a) Net of unamortized debt discount.
Credit support for the Commercial Paper Programs is provided by a five-year $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on October 18, 2027 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which, to the extent not otherwise providing credit support for our commercial paper programs, can also be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of March 29, 2024, no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
15

Table of Contents
We classified our borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Programs as Long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as we had the intent and ability, as supported by availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, to refinance these borrowings for at least one year from the balance sheet date.
NOTE 6. SALES
We derive revenue primarily from the sales of products, including software, and services. Revenue is recognized when control of promised products or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products, software, or services. 
Product sales include revenue from the sale of products and equipment, which includes our software and software as a service (“SaaS”) product offerings and equipment rentals. Service sales include revenues from extended warranties, post-contract customer support (“PCS”), maintenance contracts or services, contract labor to perform ongoing service at a customer location, services related to previously sold products, and software implementation services.
Contract Assets — In certain circumstances, we record contract assets which include unbilled amounts typically resulting from sales under contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not only subject to the passage of time. Contract assets were $107 million as of March 29, 2024 and $108 million as of December 31, 2023. Contract assets are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Contract Costs — We incur and capitalize incremental costs to obtain certain contracts, typically sales-related commissions where the amortization period is greater than one year and costs associated with assets used by our customers in certain service arrangements. As of March 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $52 million and $51 million, respectively, in net revenue-related contract costs primarily related to certain software contracts. Revenue-related contract costs are recorded within Other assets in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. These assets have estimated useful lives between three and five years.
Contract Liabilities — Our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue generally related to subscription-based software contracts, PCS and extended warranty sales, where we generally receive up-front payment and recognize revenue over the service or support term. We classify deferred revenue as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The current portion of deferred revenue is recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion of deferred revenue is recorded within Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Our contract liabilities consisted of the following ($ in millions):
March 29, 2024 December 31, 2023
Deferred revenue - current $ 540.1  $ 544.6 
Deferred revenue - noncurrent 45.4  45.8 
Total contract liabilities $ 585.5  $ 590.4 
During the three-month period ended March 29, 2024, we recognized revenue related to our contract liabilities at December 31, 2023 of $196 million. The change in our contract liabilities from December 31, 2023 to March 29, 2024 was primarily due to the timing of billings and revenue recognized for subscription-based software contracts, PCS and extended warranty services.
Remaining Performance Obligations — Our remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm, non-cancelable orders and the average contract value for software contracts, for which work has not been performed. We have excluded performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less from the amounts below.
16

Table of Contents
The aggregate remaining performance obligations attributable to each of our segments is as follows ($ in millions):
March 29, 2024
Intelligent Operating Solutions $ 565.9 
Precision Technologies 75.7 
Advanced Healthcare Solutions 70.9 
Total remaining performance obligations $ 712.5 
The majority of remaining performance obligations are related to service and support contracts, which we expect to fulfill approximately 80 percent within the next two years, approximately 95 percent within the next three years, and substantially all within four years.
Disaggregation of Revenue
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers by sales of products and software and services, geographic location, and end market for each of our segments, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Due to the Segment Realignment, prior period segment amounts have been recast to conform to the revised segment presentation. Refer to Note 1 for further information on the realignment.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rates for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 were 11.4% as compared to 15.7% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 was primarily related to cash repatriation, resulting in a discrete tax credit in the three-month period ended March 29, 2024
Our effective tax rates for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024, differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the impact of credits and deductions provided by law and changes in our uncertain tax position reserves.
NOTE 8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”), provides for the grant of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, and performance stock units (collectively, “Stock Awards”), stock options, or any other stock-based award. As of March 29, 2024, approximately 12 million shares of our common stock were available for subsequent issuance under the Stock Plan. For a full description of our Stock Plan, refer to Note 15 of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Total unrecognized compensation cost $ 226.9 
NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
For a description of our litigation and contingencies and additional information about our leases, refer to Note 14 and Note 9, respectively, in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Warranty
We generally accrue estimated warranty costs at the time of sale. In general, manufactured products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship when properly used for their intended purpose, installed correctly, and appropriately maintained. Warranty period terms depend on the nature of the product and range from 90 days up to the life of the product. The amount of the accrued warranty liability is determined based on historical information such as past experience, product failure rates or number of units repaired, estimated cost of material and labor, and, in certain instances, estimated property damage. The accrued warranty liability is reviewed on a quarterly basis and may be adjusted as additional information regarding expected warranty costs becomes known. During the three-month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, warranty related activity was immaterial.
Leases
Operating lease costs for the three-month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 was $13 million and $12 million, respectively. During both the three-month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, cash paid for operating leases included in operating cash flows was $12 million. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations were $4 million during both the three-month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Operating lease ROU assets were $170 million and $155 million as of March 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Operating lease liabilities were $177 million and $164 million as of March 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets within Other assets, Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities, respectively.
Other Matters
We discovered that a subsidiary of ours made certain incorrect representations regarding status as a small business concern as defined by the Small Business Act for certain contracts that it was awarded by the Defense Logistics Agency (“DLA”). As a result, on January 26, 2024, we voluntarily notified the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (“OIG”) and the DLA of this matter. While we are continuing to investigate, we currently do not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. However, resolution of this matter could subject us to fines or penalties, and we cannot provide assurance as to the timing or outcome of such resolution.
NOTE 10. NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of shares under stock-based compensation plans under the treasury stock method, except where the inclusion of such shares would have an anti-dilutive impact. Anti-dilutive options excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for the three-month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023 were 1.2 million and 2.9 million, respectively.
Information related to the calculation of net earnings per share of common stock is summarized as follows ($ and shares in millions, except per share amounts):

Share Repurchase Program
On February 17, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to 20 million shares of the Company's outstanding common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. There is no expiration date for the repurchase program, and the timing and amount of repurchases under the program are determined by the Company's management based on market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2023, there were 9 million shares remaining for repurchase under the program. On January 23, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors increased the number of shares authorized under the share repurchase program by an additional 11 million shares.
During the three-month periods ended March 29, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, the Company made no repurchases under the plan. As of March 29, 2024, there were 20 million shares remaining for repurchase under the program.

INFORMATION RELATING TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this quarterly report, in other documents we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), in our press releases, webcasts, conference calls, materials delivered to shareholders and other communications, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws. All statements other than historical factual information are forward-looking statements, including without limitation statements regarding: projections of revenue, expenses, profit, profit margins, tax rates, tax provisions, cash flows, pension and benefit obligations and funding requirements, our liquidity position or other financial measures; management’s plans and strategies for future operations, including statements relating to anticipated operating performance, cost reductions, restructuring activities, new product and service developments, competitive strengths or market position, acquisitions, divestitures, strategic opportunities, securities offerings, stock repurchases, dividends and executive compensation; growth, declines and other trends in markets we sell into, including the expected impact of trade and tariff policies; new or modified laws, regulations and accounting pronouncements; impact of climate-related events or transition activities; outstanding claims, legal proceedings, tax audits and assessments and other contingent liabilities; foreign currency exchange rates and fluctuations in those rates; impact of changes to tax laws; general economic and capital markets conditions, including impact of inflation or interest rate changes; impact of geopolitical events, including the impact of the Ukraine/Russia conflict, conflict in the Middle East, and other hostilities; the timing of any of the foregoing; assumptions underlying any of the foregoing; and any other statements that address events or developments that we intend or believe will or may occur in the future.

OVERVIEW
General
Fortive is a multinational business with global operations with approximately 46% of our sales derived from customers outside the United States in 2023. As a company with global operations, our businesses are affected by worldwide, regional, and industry-specific economic, regulatory, and political factors. Our geographic and industry diversity, as well as the range of products, software, and services we offer, typically help limit the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country (except for the United States) on our operating results. Given the broad range of products manufactured, software and services provided, and geographies served, we do not use any indices other than general economic trends to predict the overall outlook for the Company. Our individual businesses monitor key competitors and customers, including their sales, to the extent possible, to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future.
As a result of our geographic and industry diversity, we face a variety of opportunities and challenges, including technological development in most of the markets we serve, the expansion and evolution of opportunities in high-growth markets, trends and costs associated with a global labor force, and consolidation of our competitors. We define high-growth markets as developing markets of the world experiencing extended periods of accelerated growth in gross domestic product and infrastructure which include Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Asia with the exception of Japan and Australia. We operate in a highly competitive business environment in most markets, and our long-term growth and profitability will depend, in particular, on our ability to expand our business across geographies and market segments, identify, consummate, and integrate appropriate acquisitions, develop innovative and differentiated new products, services, and software, expand and improve the effectiveness of our sales force, continue to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency and quality, attract relevant talent and retain, grow, and empower our talented workforce, and effectively address the demands of an increasingly regulated environment. We are making significant investments, organically and through acquisitions, to address technological change in the markets we serve and to improve our manufacturing, research and development, and customer-facing resources in order to be responsive to our customers throughout the world.
Segment Presentation
We operate and report our results in three segments, IOS, PT, and AHS, each of which is further described below.
In January 2024, we realigned Invetech from the AHS segment to the PT segment, as we explored strategic alternatives for certain products and services of Invetech (the “Segment Realignment”). In March 2024, we entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the management of Invetech, pursuant to which we will transfer ownership of certain product lines of Invetech to its current management team. The products and operations of Invetech that we will retain following such transfer of ownership are more closely aligned with the PT segment than the AHS segment. Prior period segment amounts below have been recast to conform to the revised segment presentation.
Our IOS segment provides advanced instrumentation, software and services to tens of thousands of customers enabling their mission-critical workflows. These offerings include electrical test & measurement, facility and asset lifecycle software applications, connected worker safety and compliance solutions across a range of vertical end markets, including manufacturing, process industries, healthcare, utilities and power, communications and electronics, among others. Typical users of these safety, productivity and sustainability solutions include electrical engineers, electricians, electronic technicians, EHS professionals, network technicians, facility managers, first-responders, and maintenance professionals.
Our PT segment helps solve tough technical challenges to speed breakthroughs in a wide range of applications, from food and beverage production and manufacturing to next-generation electric vehicles and clean energy, as our customers seek new test solutions to enable the electrification and connectivity of everything. Our expertise in materials, methods and measurements are reflected in our electrical test & measurement, sensing and material technologies, and cell therapy equipment design and manufacturing offered to a broad set of customers and vertical end markets, including industrial, power and energy, automotive, medical equipment, food and beverage, aerospace and defense, semiconductor, and other general industries. Customers for these products and services include design engineers for advanced electronic devices and equipment, process and quality engineers focused on improved process capability and productivity, facility maintenance managers driving increased uptime, and other customers for whom precise measurement, reliability, and compliance are critical in their applications.
Our AHS segment supplies critical workflow solutions enabling healthcare providers to deliver exceptional patient care more efficiently. Our offerings include instrument sterilization solutions, instrument tracking, biomedical test tools, radiation detection and safety monitoring, and end-to-end clinical productivity software and solutions. Our healthcare offerings help ensure critical safety standards are met, instruments and operating rooms are working at peak performance, and complex procedures are followed accurately in these mission-critical healthcare environments.

Non-GAAP Measures
In this report, references to sales from existing businesses (“core revenue”) refer to sales from operations calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) but excluding (1) the impact from acquired and divested businesses and (2) the impact of currency translation. References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition, less the amount of sales attributable to certain businesses or product lines that have been divested or, at the time of reporting, are pending divestiture but are not, and will not be, considered discontinued operations prior to the first anniversary of the divestiture. The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. Sales from existing businesses should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, sales, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Management believes that reporting the non-GAAP financial measure of core revenue provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our sales performance with our performance in prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisition and divestiture related items because the nature, size, and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation from core revenue because the impact of currency translation is not under management’s control and is subject to volatility. Management believes the exclusion of the effect of acquisitions and divestitures and currency translation may facilitate the assessment of underlying business trends and may assist in comparisons of long-term performance. References to sales volume from existing businesses refer to the impact of both price and unit sales.
Acquisitions
On January 3, 2024, we acquired EA Elektro-Automatik Holding GmbH (“EA”), a leading supplier of high-power electronic test solutions for energy storage, mobility, hydrogen, and renewable energy applications. The acquisition of EA will bolster our innovative portfolio of products and services for engineers with complementary test and measurement solutions enabling the global energy transition. The total consideration paid was approximately $1.72 billion, net of acquired cash. We recorded approximately $1.2 billion of goodwill related to the EA acquisition, which is not tax deductible.
Other Matters
We initiated a discrete plan in the first quarter of 2023 that was completed during the fourth quarter of 2023. The nature of these activities were broadly consistent throughout our segments and consist primarily of targeted workforce reductions in response to overall macroeconomic and other external conditions. We incurred these costs to position ourselves to provide superior products and services to customers in a cost-efficient manner, while taking into consideration the impact of broad economic uncertainties. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, we incurred charges of $17.6 million. These charges are recorded within Cost of sales and Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Accrued restructuring costs were $13 million and $26 million as of March 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and are recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Business Performance and Outlook
Business Performance for the Period Ended March 29, 2024
During the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 (the “quarter” or the “first quarter”), our sales increased by 4.4%, driven by a 2.5% increase in our core revenue, and a 2.5% increase from acquisitions, net of divestitures, partially offset by 0.6% decrease from unfavorable currency translation. Core revenue growth was comprised of favorable pricing of 2.3% and increased volume of 0.2%. The increase in volume from IOS and AHS were mostly offset by declines in PT.
Geographically, in the first quarter, year-over-year core revenue in developed markets increased low single-digits, driven by low single-digit growth in North America and mid-single-digit growth in Western Europe. Core revenue in high growth markets increased mid-single-digit year-over-year in the first quarter, driven by low double-digit growth in Latin America and low single-digit growth in Asia, despite a low single-digit decline in China.
Outlook
We anticipate revenue growth to be between 2% and 3% for the second quarter of 2024, and approximately 4.5% and 6% for the full year. We anticipate core revenue growth to be between flat and 2% for the second quarter and approximately 2% and 4% for the full year.

Table of Contents
We expect foreign exchange rates to remain volatile throughout the year which could adversely impact our financial results. Additionally, our financial outlook is subject to various assumptions and risks, including but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions in the United States, China and other critical regions, ongoing challenges with global logistics and supply chains, disruption in supply or transportation resulting from geopolitical developments, severe weather or other events, impact of inflationary dynamics on our expenses or our ability to realize price increases in our sales, interest rates, market conditions in key product segments, and elective surgery rates. We will continue to deploy FBS to actively manage production challenges, collaborate with customers and suppliers to minimize disruptions and utilize pricing and other countermeasures to offset the aforementioned dynamics. We continue to monitor these conditions which may continue to impact our business, as well as potential adverse global economic trends and sentiments, monetary and fiscal policies, international trade and relations between the U.S., China and other nations, and investment and taxation policy initiatives being considered in the United States and by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), including the potential impact of the Pillar Two initiative.

INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rates for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 were 11.4%, as compared to 15.7%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 as compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2023 was primarily related to cash repatriation, resulting in a discrete tax credit in the three-month period ended March 29, 2024
Our effective tax rates for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024, differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the impact of credits and deductions provided by law and changes in our uncertain tax position reserves.
During 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (the “OECD”) announced an agreed framework for “Pillar Two” and released detailed model rules for a global minimum corporate tax rate of fifteen percent (15%) which requires multilateral agreement(s) and/or country-specific legislative action to be effective. A few jurisdictions have implemented legislation with effective dates spanning from 2024 through 2026. We will continue to monitor further legislation by individual countries and are currently evaluating the potential impact of Pillar Two to our business in future periods.
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income decreased by $56 million during the first quarter as compared to the comparable period in 2023 due primarily to unfavorable changes in foreign currency translation adjustments of $90 million, partially offset by an increase in net income.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing, and financing activities. We generate substantial cash from operating activities and believe that our operating cash flow and other sources of liquidity, which consist of available cash, our revolving credit facility, and access to commercial paper, bank loans, and capital markets, will be sufficient to allow us to continue funding and investing in our existing businesses, consummate strategic acquisitions, make interest and principal payments on our outstanding indebtedness, fulfill our contractual obligations, and manage our capital structure on a short and long-term basis.
We have generally satisfied any short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flows and available cash through issuances of commercial paper under our U.S. dollar and Euro-denominated commercial paper programs (“Commercial Paper Programs”).
Credit support for the Commercial Paper Programs is provided by a five-year $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on October 18, 2027 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which, to the extent not otherwise providing credit support for the commercial paper programs, can also be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of March 29, 2024, no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The availability of the Revolving Credit Facility as a standby liquidity facility to repay maturing commercial paper is an important factor in maintaining the existing credit ratings of the Commercial Paper Programs when we have outstanding borrowings. We expect to limit any future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to amounts that would leave sufficient credit available under the facility to allow us to borrow, if needed, and repay any outstanding commercial paper as it matures.
On June 7, 2023, we filed with the SEC an “automatic shelf” registration statement (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Under the Shelf Registration Statement, we may from time to time sell shares of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, purchase contracts, purchase units, warrants and subscription rights in one or more offerings. For example, we recently completed our offering of €500 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.7% Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and €700 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.7% Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) under the Shelf Registration Statement.
We continue to monitor the financial markets, the stability of U.S and international banks and general global economic conditions. In addition, our access to the capital markets and other financing sources are impacted by any change in our credit rating. If changes in financial markets or other areas of the economy or downgrade in our credit rating adversely affect our access to the capital markets and other financing sources, we would expect to rely on a combination of available cash and existing available capacity under our credit facilities to provide short-term funding.

$ 306.9  $ (187.1)
Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period-to-period as working capital needs and the timing of payments for income taxes, interest, pension funding, and other items impact reported cash flows.
Operating cash flows were $257 million during the year-to-date period, representing an increase of $82 million, or 47.2%, as compared to the comparable period of 2023. The year-over-year change in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to the following factors:
Year-over-year decreases of $3 million in Operating cash flows from net earnings, net of non-cash items (Amortization, Depreciation, Stock-based compensation, and Gain on sale of property).
The aggregate changes in trade accounts receivable, inventories, and trade accounts payable generated $52 million of cash during the year-to-date period as compared to using $44 million in the comparable period of 2023. The amount of cash flow generated from or used by the aggregate of trade accounts receivable, inventories, and trade accounts payable depends upon how effectively we manage the cash conversion cycle, which generally represents the number of days that elapse from the day we pay for the purchase of raw materials and components to the collection of cash from our customers, and can be significantly impacted by the timing of collections and payments in a period.
The aggregate changes in prepaid expenses, other assets, accrued expenses, and other liabilities used $105 million of cash in the year-to-date period as compared to using $94 million of cash in the comparable period of 2023. The year-over-year changes were driven by timing differences related to employee compensation and benefits, tax payments, contract assets, and contract liabilities.
Investing Activities
Cash outflows from investing activities increased by $1.7 billion during the year-to-date period, as compared to the comparable period of 2023 with the increase primarily due to cash used for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, totaling $1.7 billion and a year-over-year increase in capital expenditures of approximately $2 million, partially offset by proceeds from sale of property.
Capital expenditures are made primarily for increasing production capacity, replacing aged equipment, supporting product development initiatives for hardware and software offerings, improving information technology systems, and purchasing equipment that is used in revenue arrangements with customers. For the current year, we expect capital spending to be approximately $100-$120 million, although actual expenditures will ultimately depend on business conditions.
Financing Activities and Indebtedness
Cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of cash flows associated with the issuance and repayment of debt and commercial paper, payments of cash dividends to shareholders and share repurchases.

On January 2, 2024, we drew down an additional $450 million of the $1.3 billion Delayed-Draw Term Loan due 2024 as part of the funding for the acquisition of EA.
On February 13, 2024, we completed the sale of our registered offering of the 2026 Notes and the 2029 Notes, yielding net proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion.
On February 13 2024, Fortive repaid $1.0 billion in outstanding principal of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan due 2024, using net proceeds from the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes.
We made dividend payments to common shareholders totaling $28 million.
In the comparable 2023 period, financing activities used cash of $187 million, reflecting the following transaction:

We made dividend payments to common shareholders totaling $25 million.
Refer to Note 5 of the consolidated condensed financial statements for additional information regarding our financing activities and indebtedness.
Cash and Cash Requirements
As of March 29, 2024, we held approximately $705 million of cash and equivalents that were invested in highly liquid investment-grade instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less, of which approximately 85% was held outside of the United States.
We have cash requirements to support working capital needs, capital expenditures and acquisitions, pay interest and service debt, pay taxes and any related interest or penalties, fund our pension plans as required, pay dividends to shareholders, and support other business needs or objectives. With respect to our cash requirements, we generally intend to use available cash and internally generated funds to meet these cash requirements, but in the event that additional liquidity is required, particularly in connection with acquisitions and repayment of maturing debt, we may also borrow under our commercial paper programs or credit facilities or enter into new credit facilities and either borrow directly thereunder or use such credit facilities to backstop additional borrowing capacity under our commercial paper programs. We also may from time to time access the capital markets, including to take advantage of favorable interest rate environments or other market conditions.
Foreign cumulative earnings remain subject to foreign remittance taxes. We have made an election regarding the amount of earnings that we do not intend to repatriate due to local working capital needs, local law restrictions, high foreign remittance costs, previous investments in physical assets and acquisitions, or future growth needs. For most of our foreign operations, we make an assertion regarding the amount of earnings in excess of intended repatriation that are expected to be held for indefinite reinvestment. No provisions for foreign remittance taxes have been made with respect to earnings that are planned to be reinvested indefinitely. The amount of foreign remittance taxes that may be applicable to such earnings is not readily determinable given local law restrictions that may apply to a portion of such earnings, unknown changes in foreign tax law that may occur during the applicable restriction periods caused by applicable local corporate law for cash repatriation, and the various tax planning alternatives we could employ if we repatriated these earnings.
As of March 29, 2024, we expect to have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs for the foreseeable future.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
There were no material changes during the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 to the items we disclosed as our critical accounting estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as noted below.

Acquisitions
Our business acquisitions, including EA, typically result in the recognition of goodwill, customer relationships, developed technology, and other intangible assets, which affect the amount of future period amortization expense and possible impairment charges that we may incur. The fair value of acquired intangible assets are determined using information available near the acquisition date based on estimates and assumptions that are deemed reasonable by us. Significant assumptions include the discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of the forecasted cash flows of the acquired business including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), revenue, revenue growth rates, royalty rates, customer attrition rates, and technology obsolescence rates. These assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. We engage third-party valuation specialists who review our critical assumptions and calculations of the fair value of acquired intangible assets in connection with material acquisitions. In connection with the EA acquisition in the first quarter of 2024, we recorded approximately $1.2 billion of goodwill and approximately $0.7 billion of intangible assets. Refer to Note 2 for additional information of the EA acquisition.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our concentrations of credit risk arising from trade receivables is limited due to the diversity of our customers. Our businesses perform credit evaluations of their customers’ financial conditions as appropriate and also obtain collateral or other security when appropriate.
Additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk appear in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Financial Instruments and Risk Management,” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no material changes during the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 to the information reported in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K relating to our evaluation of interest rate, foreign currency exchange, and commodity price risk. Refer to Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for discussion around the impact of these items in the first quarter.
