FORTIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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, 2024 and the footnotes (“Notes”) thereto included within our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Reclassification of certain prior year amounts in the changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by component table below have been made to conform to current year presentation.
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 28, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Update on Pending Separation of the Precision Technologies Segment
On September 4, 2024, we announced our intention to separate our PT segment business into an independent publicly-traded company (the “Separation”), which has been incorporated under the name Ralliant Corporation. The Separation will create (i) a technology solutions company, retaining the Fortive name, with a portfolio of the brands currently operating under Fortive’s IOS and AHS business segments, focused on resilient, high-quality recurring growth by delivering productivity and safety to customers, and (ii) a global technology company consisting of our brands currently operating under the PT segment with a focus on precision instruments and highly engineered products essential for breakthrough innovation and aligned to powerful secular trends. The Separation is intended to qualify as a tax-free spin-off to Fortive shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company is currently targeting completion of the Separation by the end of the second quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, final approval of Fortive’s Board of Directors, or a delegated committee thereof, satisfactory completion of financing, receipt of a favorable opinion of legal counsel and/or a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement filed with the SEC, and other regulatory approvals. All assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Ralliant are included in the consolidated results of the Company in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements. Fortive anticipates that Ralliant’s Form 10 registration statement will be filed publicly with the SEC in early May 2025.
Segment Realignment and Divestiture
In January 2024, we realigned Invetech from the AHS segment to the PT segment (the “Segment Realignment”) based on our strategic decision to divest the equipment design and manufacturing businesses of Invetech, while retaining the motion solution businesses (the “Motion Solution Business”) that are more closely aligned with the PT segment than the AHS segment. In June 2024, we divested and transferred ownership of Invetech, excluding the Motion Solution Business, to its management team (the “Invetech Divestiture”).
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 28, 2025, 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.

Table of Contents
We recognized after-tax foreign currency transaction losses of $57.0 million and gains of $8.4 million during the three-month periods ended March 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024, respectively, on the debt that was deferred in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI”) as an offset to the foreign currency translation adjustments on our investments in foreign subsidiaries. Any amounts deferred in AOCI will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated. We recorded no ineffectiveness from our net investment hedges during the three-month periods ended March 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024.
The changes in AOCI by component are summarized below ($ in millions):

(c) Amount was rounded to zero.
Allowance 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 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024, the activity was immaterial.

Table of Contents
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 received in August and November 2024. The promissory note was 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 pledged a charitable contribution of $20 million to the Fortive Foundation (the “Foundation”), which had no donor imposed conditions or restrictions. The Foundation, a not-for-profit entity established to expand our philanthropic efforts, is a related party due to certain Fortive executives serving as members of the entity’s board of directors. The charitable contribution was recorded within the “Other non-operating expense, net” line in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings.
Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we initiated a discrete restructuring plan that is expected to be completed by December 31, 2025. The nature of the plan initiated in 2024 was related to the Separation and consisted primarily of targeted workforce reductions to realign cost structures. During the three-month period ended March 28, 2025, we incurred charges of $3.9 million. Accrued restructuring costs were $9 million as of March 28, 2025 and were $13 million as of December 31, 2024, and are recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Recently Issued Accounting Standard
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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. This standard should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. The adoption of the standard will not impact our consolidated financial statements; however, we are currently evaluating the impact of the new disclosure requirements on the notes to the financial statements. We will update the applicable annual disclosures to align with the new standard.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) — Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which amends the disclosure requirements related to certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis. This standard is effective for fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and interim periods within fiscal year ending December 31, 2028. This standard should be applied either on a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The adoption of the standard will not impact our combined financial statements; however, we are currently evaluating the impact of the new disclosure requirements on the notes to the financial statements. Upon adoption, we will update the applicable interim and 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.
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 $1.18 billion of goodwill within our PT segment related to the EA acquisition, which is not tax deductible.
For the three-month periods 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.
11

Table of Contents
The fair value of the net assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions. 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.
During the three-month period ended March 28, 2025, no adjustments were made to the EA purchase price allocation.
NOTE 3. GOODWILL
The following is a roll forward of our carrying value of goodwill by segment ($ in millions):
Intelligent Operating Solutions Precision Technologies Advanced Healthcare Solutions Total Goodwill
Balance, December 31, 2024 $ 4,121.7  $ 2,940.0  $ 3,094.3  $ 10,156.0

Balance, March 28, 2025 $ 4,137.4  $ 3,003.7  $ 3,103.6  $ 10,244.7 
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 $   $ 41.9  $   $ 41.9 
December 31, 2024
Deferred compensation liabilities   46.7    46.7 
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.
12

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 28, 2025, and recorded no impairments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount and fair value of financial instruments are as follows ($ in millions):
March 28, 2025 December 31, 2024
Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value
Current portion of long-term debt $ 933.8  $ 939.8  $ 376.2  $ 376.3 
Long-term debt, net of current maturities
2,929.1  2,442.9  3,331.1  3,243.8 
As of March 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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.
NOTE 5. FINANCING
The components of our debt were as follows ($ in millions):
March 28, 2025 December 31, 2024
U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper $ 730.0  $ 650.0

Long-term debt, net of current maturities $ 2,929.1  $ 3,331.1 
Refer to Note 9 of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details of our debt financing.
Commercial Paper Programs
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. Proceeds from borrowings under the commercial paper programs are typically available for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
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.

Table of Contents
The details of our outstanding Commercial Paper Programs as of March 28, 2025 were as follows ($ in millions):
Carrying value (a)
Annual effective rate Weighted average maturity (in days)
U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper $ 729.1  4.60  % 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 28, 2025, no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.
We classified our borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Programs as of March 28, 2025 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 $133 million as of March 28, 2025 and $118 million as of December 31, 2024. 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 28, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $64 million and $59 million, respectively, in net revenue-related contract costs primarily related to certain software contracts. Revenue-related contract costs are recorded within Other assets in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. These assets have estimated useful lives between three and five years.
Contract Liabilities — Our contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue generally related to subscription-based software contracts, PCS and extended warranty sales, where we generally receive up-front payment and recognize revenue over the service or support term. We classify deferred revenue as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue. The current portion of deferred revenue is recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion of deferred revenue is recorded within Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
Our contract liabilities consisted of the following ($ in millions):
March 28, 2025 December 31, 2024
Deferred revenue - current $ 560.0  $ 553.2 
Deferred revenue - noncurrent 59.1  58.9 
Total contract liabilities $ 619.1  $ 612.1 
During the three-month period ended March 28, 2025, we recognized revenue related to our contract liabilities at December 31, 2024 of $189 million. The change in our contract liabilities from December 31, 2024 to March 28, 2025 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.
14

Table of Contents
The aggregate remaining performance obligations attributable to each of our segments is as follows ($ in millions):
March 28, 2025
Intelligent Operating Solutions $ 622.2 
Precision Technologies 59.3 
Advanced Healthcare Solutions 101.9 
Total remaining performance obligations $ 783.4 
The majority of remaining performance obligations are related to service and support contracts, which we expect to fulfill approximately 75 percent within the next two years, approximately 90 percent within the next three years, and substantially all within four years.

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 28, 2025 was 14.6% as compared to 11.4%, for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 28, 2025 as compared to the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 was primarily related to a discrete tax credit in the comparable prior year period from cash repatriation.
Our effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 28, 2025, differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the impact of credits and deductions provided by law, including those associated with state income taxes, 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 28, 2025, approximately 11 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 14 of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Stock-based compensation has been recognized as a component of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings based on the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
For a description of our litigation and contingencies and additional information about our leases, refer to Note 13 and Note 8, respectively, in our 2024 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 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024, warranty related activity was immaterial.

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 28, 2025 and March 29, 2024 were 1.5 million and 1.2 million, respectively.

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. 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. As of March 28, 2025, there were 5.5 million shares remaining authorized under the share repurchase program. 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.
During the three-month period ended March 28, 2025, the Company purchased 2.5 million shares of its common stock at an average share price of $81.01. The Company made no repurchases under the plan during the three-month periods ended March 29, 2024. Our common stock repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act. Any excise tax incurred is recorded as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired within Common stock repurchases in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Equity. The payment of the excise tax is recorded within Repurchase of common shares in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows.
NOTE 11. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We report our results in three separate business segments consisting of Intelligent Operating Solutions, Precision Technologies, and Advanced Healthcare Solutions. We determine our business segments based on the identification of segment managers and similarities in products, end markets, economic characteristics, technologies, and services, as well as the financial data utilized by the Company's chief executive officer. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the chief executive officer.
The CODM uses gross profit and operating profit at the segment level to assess performance and allocate resources, including merger and acquisition targets. The CODM also compares the actual results to expectations in assessing the performance of the segments. Gross profit represents total revenue less total cost of sales. Operating expenses generally include selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses. Depreciation expense is allocated between Cost of sales and Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Amortization expense is recorded within Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Operating profit represents gross profit less operating expenses. The identifiable assets by segment are those used in each segment’s operations. Inter-segment amounts are not significant and are eliminated in the combined totals. Unallocated costs and other costs are not considered part of our evaluation of reportable segment operating performance.
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.
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 and sensing and material technologies 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.
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.

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; our plans to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies; 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 expected impact of inflation or interest rate changes; impact of geopolitical events 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. Terminology, such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “should,” “could,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “target,” “may,” “possible,” “potential,” “forecast” and “positioned” and similar references to future periods, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements are accompanied by such words.
Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors they believe to be appropriate. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results may differ materially from the results, developments and business decisions contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those envisaged in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
Risk Related to Our Business Operations
Conditions in the global economy, the markets we serve, and the financial markets may adversely affect our business and financial results.
If we cannot adjust our manufacturing capacity, supply chain management or the purchases required for our manufacturing activities to reflect changes in market conditions, customer demand and supply chain disruptions, our

Table of Contents
profitability may suffer. In addition, our reliance upon sole or limited sources of supply for certain materials, components, and services could cause production interruptions, delays and inefficiencies.
Our financial results are subject to fluctuations in the cost and availability of commodities or components that we use in our operations.
Our growth could suffer if the markets into which we sell our products and services decline, do not grow as anticipated, or experience cyclicality.
We face intense competition and if we are unable to compete effectively, we may experience decreased demand and decreased market share. Even if we compete effectively, we may be required to reduce prices for our products and services.
Our growth depends in part on the timely development and commercialization and customer acceptance of new and enhanced products and services based on technological innovation.
Our ability to attract, develop, and retain senior leaders and other key employees is critical to our success.
Disruptions in, or breaches in security of, our information technology systems have adversely affected, and in the future could adversely affect, our business.
Defects and unanticipated use or inadequate disclosure with respect to our products (including software) or services could adversely affect our business, reputation, and financial results.
Adverse changes in our relationships with, or the financial condition, performance, purchasing patterns, or inventory levels of, key distributors and other channel partners could adversely affect our financial results.
Our restructuring activities could have long-term adverse effects on our business.
Work stoppages, works council campaigns, and other labor disputes could adversely impact our productivity and results of operations.
If we suffer loss to our facilities, supply chains, distribution systems, or information technology systems due to catastrophe or other events, our operations could be seriously harmed.
If we do not or cannot adequately protect our intellectual property, or if third parties infringe our intellectual property rights, we may suffer competitive injury or expend significant resources enforcing our rights.
Third parties may claim that we are infringing or misappropriating their intellectual property rights and we could suffer significant litigation expenses, losses, or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products or services.
We are subject to a variety of litigation and other legal and regulatory proceedings in the course of our business that could adversely affect our financial results.
Climate change, or legal or regulatory measures to address climate change, may negatively affect us.
We may use artificial intelligence in our business and in our products, and challenges with properly managing its use could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and adversely affect our results of operations.
Risk Related to our International Operations
International economic, political, legal, trade policies, compliance, and business factors could negatively affect our financial results.
Trade relations between the United States and other countries, including imposition of new or increased tariffs and related uncertainty thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Foreign currency exchange rates, including the volatility thereof, may adversely affect our financial results.
Risk Related to Our Acquisitions, Investments, and Dispositions
Our plans to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies may not be completed on the currently contemplated timeline or at all and may not achieve the intended benefits, including the anticipated tax treatment.
22

Table of Contents
Any inability to consummate acquisitions at our anticipated rate and at appropriate prices, and to make appropriate investments that support our long-term strategy, could negatively impact our growth rate and stock price.
Our acquisition of businesses, investments, joint ventures, and other strategic relationships could negatively impact our financial results.
The indemnification provisions of acquisition agreements by which we have acquired companies may not fully protect us and as a result we may face unexpected liabilities.
Divestitures or other dispositions could negatively impact our business, and contingent liabilities from businesses that we have sold could adversely affect our financial results.
Potential indemnification liabilities to Vontier Corporation (“Vontier”) pursuant to the separation agreement could materially and adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Risk Related to Regulatory and Compliance Matters
Changes in industry standards and governmental regulations may reduce demand for our products or services or increase our expenses.
Our reputation, ability to do business, and financial results may be impaired by improper conduct by any of our employees, agents, or business partners.
Our operations, products, and services expose us to the risk of environmental, health, and safety liabilities, costs, and violations that could adversely affect our reputation and financial results.
Our businesses are subject to extensive regulation, including healthcare regulations; failure to comply with those regulations could adversely affect our financial results and our business, including our reputation.
Risk Related to Our Tax and Accounting Matters
Changes in our effective tax rates or exposure to additional tax liabilities or assessments could affect our profitability. In addition, audits by tax authorities could result in additional tax payments for prior periods.
We could incur significant liability if our separation from Danaher, our separation of our Automation and Specialty business or our separation of Vontier (collectively, the “Separation Transactions”) are determined to be a taxable transaction.
Changes in U.S. GAAP could adversely affect our reported financial results and may require significant changes to our internal accounting systems and processes.
We may be required to recognize impairment charges for our goodwill and other intangible assets.
Risk Related to Our Financing Activities
We have incurred a significant amount of debt, and our debt obligations, including the cost of such debt, will increase further if we incur additional debt and do not retire existing debt, our credit rating declines, or if the applicable interest rates rise.
See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding reasons that actual results may differ materially from the results, developments, and business decisions contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, document, press release, webcast, call, materials or other communication in which they are made (or such earlier date as may be specified in such statement). We do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events and developments or otherwise.

OVERVIEW
General
Fortive is a multinational business with global operations with approximately 46% of our sales derived from customers outside the United States in 2024. 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 (the “Segment Realignment”) based on our strategic decision to divest the equipment design and manufacturing businesses of Invetech, while retaining the motion solution businesses (the “Motion Solution Business”) that are more closely aligned with the PT segment than the AHS segment. In June 2024, we divested and transferred ownership of Invetech, excluding the Motion Solution Business, to its management team (the “Invetech Divestiture”).
Our IOS segment provides advanced instrumentation, software and services to tens of thousands of customers enabling their mission-critical workflows.

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 foreign 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. Core revenue 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.
Update on Pending Separation of the Precision Technologies Segment
On September 4, 2024, we announced our intention to separate our PT segment business into an independent publicly-traded company (the “Separation”), which has been incorporated under the name Ralliant Corporation. The Separation will create (i) a technology solutions company, retaining the Fortive name, with a portfolio of the brands currently operating under Fortive’s IOS and AHS business segments, focused on resilient, high-quality recurring growth by delivering productivity and safety to customers, and (ii) a global technology company consisting of our brands currently operating under the PT segment with a focus on precision instruments and highly engineered products essential for breakthrough innovation and aligned to powerful secular trends. The Separation is intended to qualify as a tax-free spin-off to Fortive shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company is currently targeting completion of the Separation by the end of the second quarter of 2025, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others, final approval of Fortive’s Board of Directors, or a delegated committee thereof, satisfactory completion of financing, receipt of a favorable opinion of legal counsel and/or a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement filed with the SEC, and other regulatory approvals. All assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Ralliant are included in the consolidated results of the Company in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements. Fortive anticipates that Ralliant’s Form 10 registration statement will be filed publicly with the SEC in early May 2025.
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 $1.18 billion of goodwill within the PT segment related to the EA acquisition, which is not tax deductible. We also anticipate future tax benefits as a result of the transaction.
Business Performance and Outlook
Business Performance for the Period Ended March 28, 2025
During the three-month period ended March 28, 2025 (the “quarter” or the “first quarter” and “year-to-date period,” respectively), our sales decreased by 3.3%, primarily driven by a 1.7% decrease in our core revenue and a 1.2% decrease from unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. Core revenue growth in the first quarter included favorable pricing of 1.9%, offset by volume declines of 3.6%.
25

Table of Contents
Geographically, in the first quarter, core revenue in developed markets decreased low single-digits, driven by low single-digit growth in North America, offset by a high-teens decline in Western Europe. Core revenue in high growth markets decreased low single-digits in the first quarter, where we had high single-digit growth in Latin America, offset by a high single-digit decline in China.
Outlook
In 2025, the U.S. government began imposing tariffs on products from all countries and additional individualized reciprocal tariffs on certain countries. In response, China, in particular, and other countries have announced retaliatory tariffs against certain imports from the United States. These changes to trade policies, retaliatory measures, and prolonged uncertainty in trade relationships negatively impact operations and financial results, including potential impairment of certain intangible assets, through resulting supply chain disruptions, delayed shipments, and increased operational complexities and costs. We continue to evaluate what impact these tariffs may have on our financial results, as the application and imposition of these tariffs remains unpredictable. For additional discussion of risks related to tariffs and trade relations, please refer to the risk factor, “Trade relations between the United States and other countries, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs and related uncertainty thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results” in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We also expect foreign exchange rates to remain volatile throughout the year, which could continue to impact our financial results. Additionally, our financial outlook is subject to various assumptions and risks, including but not limited to, ongoing geopolitical developments and events, global uncertainties related to governmental policies toward international trade, monetary and fiscal policies, including the current uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other regions with respect to tariffs as mentioned above, trade policies, treaties, government regulations and sanctions, increased economic nationalism, macroeconomic conditions in the United States, China, and other critical regions, impact from our pending separation into two independent publicly traded companies, and the impact of inflationary dynamics on our expenses or our ability to realize price increases and/or competitiveness in our sales, interest rates, market conditions in key product segments, and elective surgery rates.
We continue to deploy the Fortive Business System (“FBS”), including tools and processes to leverage existing sourcing strategies and optimize production and logistics to actively manage these challenges and utilize pricing, cost and productivity actions and other countermeasures designed to offset the aforementioned dynamics. We continue to monitor these conditions and potential adverse global economic trends and sentiments, monetary and fiscal policies, international trade policies 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 incremental impacts of the Pillar Two initiative.

R&D, consisting principally of internal and contract engineering personnel costs, increased slightly during the first quarter as compared to the comparable period of 2024 due to ongoing investments in innovation.
NON-OPERATING INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
Interest costs
Net interest expense for the first quarter was $32.0 million as compared to $44.0 million in the comparable periods in 2024. The year-over-year decrease in net interest expense was primarily due to overall debt mix consisting of lower fixed rate debt instruments, and lower interest rate on floating rate debt instruments. For discussion of our outstanding indebtedness, refer to Note 5 to the consolidated condensed financial statements.
Other non-operating expense, net
Other non-operating expense for the first quarter was $0.2 million, as compared to $24.2 million in the comparable period in 2024. The year-over-year decrease was due to a charitable contribution made in the first quarter of 2024. For further discussion of the charitable contribution, refer to Note 1 to the consolidated condensed financial statements.
INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 28, 2025 was 14.6% as compared to 11.4%, for the three-month period ended March 29, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 28, 2025 as compared to the three-month period ended March 29, 2024 was primarily related to a discrete tax credit in the comparable prior year period from cash repatriation.
Our effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 28, 2025, differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to the impact of credits and deductions provided by law, including those associated with state income taxes, and changes in our uncertain tax position reserves.
The OECD has published the framework for a “Pillar Two” global minimum corporate income tax rate of fifteen percent (15%). For the current year, portions of Pillar Two are effective in certain countries where the Company conducts business, and the impact has been included within the provision for income taxes. The Company continues to monitor for further corporate tax legislative developments and changes to the Pillar Two framework.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income increased by $111 million during the first quarter as compared to the comparable period in 2024 due primarily to favorable changes in foreign currency translation adjustments of $147 million, partially offset by a $36 million decrease 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, execute strategic separations, repurchase common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, 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 28, 2025, 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, depository shares, purchase contracts, purchase units, warrants and subscription rights in one or more offerings.
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 is 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.

Overview of Cash Flows and Liquidity
Following is an overview of our cash flows and liquidity ($ in millions):
  Three Months Ended

All other financing activities 8.1  25.4 
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
$ (141.0) $ 306.9 
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 $242 million during the year-to-date period, representing a decrease of $15 million when compared to the comparable period of 2024. The year-over-year change in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to the following factors:
Year-over-year increase of $24 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 accounts receivable, inventories, and trade accounts payable generated $1 million of cash during the year-to-date period as compared to generating $52 million in the comparable period of 2024. 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 and other assets, and accrued expenses and other liabilities used $94 million of cash in the year-to-date period as compared to using $105 million of cash in the comparable period of 2024. The year-over-year changes were driven by timing differences related to contract assets, contract liabilities, and payments of employee compensation, income taxes and interest.
Investing Activities
Cash outflows from investing activities declined $1.71 billion when compared with the prior year, which had outflows related to acquisitions, net of cash acquired, partially offset by proceeds from the 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 between approximately $120-$140 million, though 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.
In the year-to-date period, financing activities used cash of $141 million, reflecting the following transactions:
We incurred $81 million in net commercial paper borrowings.
We repurchased 2.5 million shares of our common stock for approximately $203 million, under our share repurchase program.
We made dividend payments to common shareholders totaling $27 million.
In the comparable 2024 period, financing activities generated cash of $307 million, reflecting the following transaction:
We repaid $427 million in net commercial paper borrowings.
On January 2, 2024, we drew down $450 million from 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, we 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.
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 28, 2025, we held approximately $892 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 87% 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.

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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no material changes during the three-month period ended March 28, 2025 to the information reported in our 2024 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.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of the President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that, as of the end of such period, these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the most recent completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Information regarding risk factors appears in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements,” in Part I - Item 2 of this Form 10-Q and in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other than as provided below, there were no material changes during the quarter ended March 28, 2025 to the risk factors reported in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Trade relations between the United States and other countries, including the imposition of new or increased tariffs and related uncertainty thereof, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

We participate in various end markets outside the United States. During 2024, sales outside the United States accounted for approximately 46% of our total sales for the year. In addition, we have several facilities outside the United States, many of which serve multiple Fortive operating companies in manufacturing, distribution, product design, and selling, general and administrative functions.

There continues to be significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries, including with respect to trade policies, treaties, government regulations, sanctions, tariffs, and application thereof. For example, in April 2025, the U.S. government began imposing tariffs intended to address trade deficits and inconsistent economic treatment of importation between the United States and other countries. In response, China, among others, has announced retaliatory tariffs against certain imports from the United States. Although we are continuing to evaluate the impact of these evolving developments, we cannot provide any assurance about the ultimate outcome or impact of these developments or other changes in trade policies, including the imposition or application of new or increased tariffs between the United States and other countries. Furthermore, changes to trade policies, retaliatory measures, or prolonged uncertainty in trade relationships negatively impact operations and financial results, including potential impairment of certain intangible assets, through resulting supply chain disruptions, delayed shipments, increased economic nationalism, negative macroeconomic conditions, and increased operational complexity and costs.
