REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Revvity, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Revvity, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 25, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Goodwill of Life Sciences Reporting Unit — Refer to Notes 1 and 11 to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. As of December 29, 2024, the Company’s balance of goodwill was $6.5 billion, of which $4.3 billion was allocated to the Life Sciences reporting unit.
In connection with the annual impairment assessment as of November 1, 2024, the Company concluded that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of each reporting unit and no impairment was recognized. The fair value of the Life Sciences reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by more than 10% but less than 20%. The Company determined the fair value of the Life Sciences reporting unit using a combination of an income approach and a discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to the discount
rate and forecasts of future revenue. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the fair value of the reporting unit.
We identified the valuation of the Life Sciences reporting unit as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management made to measure the fair value of the Life Sciences reporting unit. These fair value measurements required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future revenue and the selection of the discount rate for the Life Sciences reporting unit.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future revenue and selection of the discount rate included the following, among others:
– We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those controls related to management’s forecasts and selection of the discount rate used in measuring the fair value of the Life Sciences reporting unit.
– We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast operating results by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
– We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s forecasts by comparing the forecasts to (1) historical results, (2) internal communications, budgets and other information obtained while performing the audit and (3) external information.
– With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we performed the following:
– We evaluated the discount rate, including testing the underlying source information and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.
– We tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Nature of Operations and Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations: Revvity, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading provider of health sciences solutions, technologies, expertise and services that deliver complete workflow from discovery to development, and diagnosis to cure. The Company has two operating segments: Life Sciences and Diagnostics. The Company’s Life Sciences segment focuses on service and innovating for custo mers spanning the life sciences market. Th e Company’s Diagnostics segment is targeted towards meeting the needs of clinically-oriented customers, especially within the growing areas of reproductive health, emerging market diagnostics and applied genomics.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In March 2023, the Company completed the sale of certain assets and the equity interests of certain entities constituting the Company’s Applied, Food and Enterprise Services businesses (the “Business”). The Business is reported for all pe riods as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest December 31. The Company reports fiscal years under a
52/53-week format and as a result, certain fiscal years will contain 53 weeks. Each of the fiscal years ended December 29, 2024 (“fiscal year 2024”), December 31, 2023 (“fiscal year 2023”) and January 1, 2023 (“fiscal year 2022”) included 52 weeks. The fiscal year ending December 28, 2025 (“fiscal year 2025”) will incl ude 52 weeks.
Accounting Policies and Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition: The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. The Company recognizes revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the promised products or services when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of those products or services to customers.
Taxes that are collected by the Company from a customer and assessed by a governmental authority, that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, are excluded from revenue.
The Company reports shipping and handling revenue in revenue, to the extent it is billed to customers, and the associated costs in cost of product revenue.
Inventories : Inventories, which include material, labor and manufacturing overhead, are valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories are accounted for using the first-in, first-out method of determining inventory costs. Inventory quantities on-hand are regularly reviewed, and where necessary, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory are recorded based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements.
Income Taxes: The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits such as net operating loss carryforwards, to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is established for any deferred tax asset for which realization is not more likely than not.
The Company provides reserves for potential payments of tax to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions and other issues. These reserves are based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is more likely than not to be realized following resolution of any potential contingencies present related to the tax benefit. Potential interest and penalties associated with such uncertain tax positions is recorded as a component of income tax expense.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The Company is subject to the Global In tangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax in the U.S. The Company elected to treat taxes on future GILTI inclusions in U.S. ta xable income as a current period expense when incurred.
The Company uses the portfolio approach for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income.
Property, Plant and Equipment: The Company depreciates property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over its estimated useful lives, which generally fall within the following ranges: buildings - 10 to 40 years; leasehold improvements - estimated useful life or remaining term of lease, whichever is shorter; and machinery, equipment and capitalized internal-use software - 3 to 10 years. Certain tooling costs are capitalized and amortized over a 3 -year life, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed. The Company capitalizes certain qualified costs incurred in connection with the development of internal-use software. The Company evaluates the costs incurred during the application development stage of internal use software to determine whether the costs meet the criteria for capitalization. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation activities are expensed as incurred.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits: The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits. The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses in operating results in the year in which the gains and losses occur. Actuarial gains and losses are measured annually as of the calendar month-end that is closest to the Company’s fiscal year end and accordingly will be recorded in the fourth quarter, unless the Company is required to perform an interim remeasurement. The remaining components of pension expense, primarily service and interest costs and assumed return on plan assets, are recorded on a quarterly basis. The Company’s funding policy provides that payments to the U.S. pension trusts shall at least be equal to the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Non-U.S. plans are accrued for, but generally not fully funded, and benefits are paid from operating funds.
Translation of Foreign Currencies: For foreign operations, asset and liability accounts are translated at current exchange rates; income and expenses are translated using weighted average exchange rates for the reporting period. Resulting translation adjustments, as well as translation gains and losses from certain intercompany transactions considered permanent in nature, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses arising from transactions and translation of period-end balances denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are included in other expense, net .
Business Combinations: Business combinations are accounted for at fair value. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Measurement period adjustments are made in the period in which the amounts are determined, and the current period income effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition date. All changes that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments are also included in current period earnings. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgment as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocation of those cash flows to identifiable intangible assets, in determining the estimated fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. If the actual results differ from the estimates and judgments used in these estimates, the amounts recorded in the financial statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill, require acceleration of the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets, or the recognition of additional consideration which would be expensed.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: The Company’s intangible assets consist of (i) goodwill, which is not being amortized; and (ii) amortizing intangibles, which consist of patents, trade names and trademarks, licenses, customer relationships and purchased technologies, which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives.
The process of testing goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the applicable reporting units. The test consists of the comparison of the fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit to determine if the carrying value exceeds the fair value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess is recognized up to the amount of goodw ill. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, the Company voluntarily changed its annual goodwill impairment testing date from the later of January 1 or the first day of each fiscal year to the later of November 1 or the first day of its eleventh fiscal month of each fiscal year. The Company changed the measurement date to more closely align the annual impairment testing date with the most current information from the budgeting and strategic planning process. The Company believes the change in goodwill impairment testing date does not represent a material change to the Company ’s method of applying an accounting principle in light of the Company ’s internal controls and requirements to assess goodwill impairment upon certain triggering events. This change was applied prospectively and

therefore, the Company performed its annual impairment testing for its reporting units for fiscal year 2024 as of January 1, 2024 and November 1, 2024 . The Company concluded that there was no goodwill impairment in the periods presented.
Amortizing intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. When a potential impairment has been identified, forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operations to which the asset relates are compared to the current carrying value of the long-lived assets present in that operation. If such cash flows are less than such carrying amounts, long-lived assets, including such intangibles, are written down to their respective fair values.
Stock-Based Compensation: The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair value, generally using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model or the quoted price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value is recognized as expense in the consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. The determination of fair value and the timing of expense using option pricing models such as the Black-Scholes model require the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term and the expected price volatility of the underlying stock. The Company estimates the expected term assumption based on historical experience. In determining the Company’s expected stock price volatility assumption, the Company reviews both the historical and implied volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company recognizes the impact of forfeitures in the period that the forfeiture occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for share-based compensation.
Marketable Securities and Investments: Investments in debt securities that are classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in AOCI until realized. Investments in debt securities that are classified as held-to-maturity are recorded at amortized cost. Investments in equity securities are recorded at fair values with unrealized holding gains and losses included in earnings. Investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair values are carried at cost minus impairment, if any. When an observable price change in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer has occurred, the Company elects to carry those equity investments at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid, unrestricted instruments with a purchased maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.
Environmental Matters: The Company accrues for costs associated with the remediation of environmental pollution when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the Company’s proportionate share of the amount can be reasonably estimated. The recorded liabilities have not been discounted.
Research and Development: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Restructuring and Other Costs: Generally, costs associated with an exit or disposal activity are recognized when the liability is incurred. Prior to recording restructuring charges for employee separation agreements, the Company notifies all employees of termination. Costs related to employee separation arrangements requiring future service beyond a specified minimum retention period are recognized over the service period . The Company recorded restructuring charges, included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, of $ 17.5 million , $ 26.6 million and $ 13.6 million primarily associated with workforce reductions during fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively . The Company expects severance payments will be substantially completed duri ng fiscal year 2025 .
Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income is defined as net income or loss and other changes in stockholders’ equity from transactions and other events from sources other than stockholders. Comprehensive income is reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Accounting for gains or losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives depends on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting.
For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income and subsequently amortized into net earnings when the hedged exposure affects net earnings. Cash flow hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at the inception of each hedge by matching the terms of the contract to the underlying transaction. The Company classifies the cash flows from hedging transactions in the same categories as the cash flows from the respective hedged items. Once established, cash flow hedges are generally recorded in other comprehensive income, unless an anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, and subsequently amortized into net earnings when the hedged exposure affects net earnings. Discontinued or dedesignated cash flow hedges are immediately settled with counterparties, and the related accumulated derivative gains or losses are recognized into net earnings on the consolidated financial statements. Settled cash flow hedges related to forecasted transactions that remain probable are recorded
48

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently amortized into net earnings when the hedged exposure affects net earnings. Forward contract effectiveness for cash flow hedges is calculated by comparing the fair value of the contract to the change in value of the anticipated transaction using forward rates on a monthly basis. The Company also has entered into other foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. These contracts are recorded at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognized into interest and other expense, net on the consolidated financial statements.
The Company also uses foreign currency denominated debt to hedge its investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. Realized and unrealized translation adjustments from these hedges are included in the foreign currency translation component of AOCI, as well as the offset translation adjustments on the underlying net assets of foreign subsidiaries. The cumulative translation gains or losses will remain in AOCI until the foreign subsidiaries are liquidated or sold.
Leases: Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments over the lease term. When the Company’s lease did not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company used the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset excludes lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For certain equipment leases, such as cars, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases for facilities and equipment. Instead, the Company recognizes the lease payments in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
As a lessor, the Company applies the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and instead accounts for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“ASC 606”), and both of the following criteria are met: 1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease component or components and associated lease component are the same; and 2) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. If the non-lease component or components associated with the lease component are the predominant component of the combined component, the Company accounts for the combined component in accordance with ASC 606. Otherwise, the Company accounts for the combined component as an operating lease in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases (“ASC 842”).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) and are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise discussed, such pronouncements did not have or will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows or do not apply to the Company’s operations.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 will require public entities to disclose disaggregated information about specific natural expense categories underlying certain income statement expense line items. Such disclosures are required on an annual and interim basis in a tabular presentation in the footnotes to the financial statements. In addition, ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to disclose selling expenses on an annual and interim basis. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 will require public entities to disclose on an annual basis a tabular reconciliation using both percentages and amounts, broken out into specific categories with certain reconciling items at or above 5% of the statutory (i.e. expected) tax further broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 requires all entities to disclose on an annual basis the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received), disaggregated between federal (national), state/local and foreign, and amounts paid to an individual jurisdiction when 5% or more of the total income taxes paid. The guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis; retrospective application is permitted. The guidance is

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 amends Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280”) to require public entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included in each reported measure of a reportable segment’s profit or loss, on an annual and interim basis, and provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. ASU 2023-07 permits entities to report multiple measures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss if the CODM uses those measures to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company adopted the guidance in fiscal year 2024 and has included the additional disclosures related to the reportable segments in Note 21, Industry Segment and Geographic Area Information.
Note 2: Revenue
For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct - i.e., if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundled package and if a customer can benefit from it on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer. The consideration (including any discounts) is allocated to each performance obligation in an arrangement based on relative stand-alone selling prices. The stand-alone selling prices are determined based on the prices at which the Company separately sells the products, extended warranties, and services. For items that are not sold separately, the Company estimates stand-alone selling prices by reference to the amount charged for similar items on a stand-alone basis.
The Company sells products and services predominantly through its direct sales force, and the use of distributors is generally limited to geographic regions where the Company has no direct sales force. The Company does not offer product return or exchange rights (other than those relating to defective goods under warranty).
In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company determined that the contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. In limited circumstances where the Company provides the customer with a significant benefit of financing, the Company uses the practical expedient and only adjusts the transaction price for the effects of the time value of money and only on contracts where the duration of financing is more than one year.
Nature of goods and services
The Life Sciences segment principally generates revenue from sales of instruments, reagents, software, subscriptions, detection and imaging technologies, extended warranties, training and services in the life sciences market. The Diagnostics segment principally generates revenue from sales of instruments, solutions, consumables, reagents, and services in the diagnostics market. The typical length of a contract for service is 12 to 36 months.
The revenue generated from the sale of instruments (inclusive of consumables), reagents, and certain software is recognized at a point in time. The Company recognizes revenue in these arrangements at the point in time when control of the products has been transferred to customers, which is typically at delivery. Certain of the Company’s products require specialized installation and configuration at the customer's site. Revenue for these products is deferred until installation is complete and customer acceptance has been received. When the Company places the instrument at the customer's site and sells the reagents to a customer, the instrument and reagents are accounted for together as one performance obligation. The Company does not charge a fee for the use of the instrument and retains ownership of the placed instrument. The Company recognizes revenue upon delivery of reagents, which is the point in time where the Company has performed its obligation to provide a screening solution to the customer. Payment terms and conditions vary, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days.
The revenue generated from the sale of licenses for software as a service, cloud services, subscriptions, and laboratory services and training is recognized over time. Software as a service, subscriptions and cloud services, are generally recognized ratably over the contract period. The Company sells its software subscriptions and cloud services with maintenance services and, in some cases, with consulting services. The Company recognizes revenue for the software commencing when the service is made available to the customer. For maintenance and consulting services, revenue is recognized over the period in which the services are provided. Revenue for laboratory services is recognized over the contract period or when the service is billable, based on an input method that is based on time and materials.
Product revenue is recognized at a point in time and service revenue is generally recognized over time.

Major Customer Concentration
No single customer comprises more than 10% of net revenues during the fiscal years 2024 and 2023. Revenues from one customer in the Company’s Diagnostics segment represented approximately $ 330.7 million, or 10 %, of the Company’s total revenue during the fiscal year 2022.
Contract Balances
Unbilled receivable and Contract assets: The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of customer billing. When revenue is recognized prior to billing and the right to the amount due from customers is conditioned only on the passage of time, the Company records an unbilled receivable on its consolidated balance sheets. The unbilled receivables are classif ied as either current in “Accounts receivable, net” or as long-term in “Other assets, net” in the consolidated balance sheets. Unbilled receivables totaled $ 80.6 million and $ 75.8 million at December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, primarily related to the Life Sciences software business. The Company has no material contract assets as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Deferred revenu e and Customer deposits: Deferred revenue is recorded when revenue is recognized subsequent to customer invoicing. Deferred revenue is classified as either current in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” or as long-term in “Long-term liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. Substantially all of the deferred revenue is expected to be recognized in revenue within 12 months of the balance sheet date, and has been classified within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The deferred revenue balance is primarily related to our software as a service offerings, maintenance contracts and prepaid storage arrangements. Deferred revenue totaled $ 212.8 million and $ 209.7 million at December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company also has customer deposits received in advance of the transfer of control totaling $ 19.5 million and $ 22.1 million at December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company expects that these customer deposits will be recognized in revenue within 3 months of the balance sheet date.
Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations
The Company applies the practical expedient and does not disclose information about remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. The estimated revenue expected to be recognized in the future related

to performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the period are not material to the Company. The remaining performance obligations primarily include noncancelable purchase orders, noncancelable software subscriptions and cloud service contracts and long-term prepaid storage contracts.
Note 3: Discontinued Operations
On March 13, 2023, the Company completed the sale (the “Closing”) of the Business to PerkinElmer Topco, L.P. (formerly known as Polaris Purchaser, L.P.) (the “Purchaser”), a Delaware limited partnership owned by funds managed by affiliates of New Mountain Capital L.L.C. (the “Sponsor”), for an aggregate purchase price of up to $ 2.45 billion . The Company received approximately $ 2.27 billion in cash proceeds before transaction costs. At the Closing, the Company was entitled to an additional $ 75.0 million in proceeds payable in installments to commence upon the Company’s ceasing the use of the PerkinElmer brand and related trademarks and transferring them to the Purchaser (the “Brand Fee”). The discounted value of the $ 75.0 million was measured as $ 65.2 million and was included in the proceeds at Closing. During the fiscal year 2024, the Company received $ 18.8 million of the Brand Fee. The Company expects to receive the remaining balance of the Brand Fee i n installments in 2025. In addition, the Company is entitled to additional consideration of up to $ 150.0 million that is contingent on the exit valuation the Sponsor and its affiliated funds receive on a sale or other capital events related to the Business. The fair value of this element of consideration was determined to be $ 15.9 million and was included in the proceeds at Closing. During fiscal year 2024, the Company received approximately $ 138.5 million of cash from the Purchaser and recognized a loss of $ 19.8 million primarily related to post-closing adjustments.
In connection and concurrent with the Closing, the Company has also entered into a Transition Services Agreement ( “TSA”) with the Purchaser for a period of up to 24 months from the Closing, with the options to renew. The costs and amounts of reimbursements related to the TSA and other commercial transactions between the parties were not significant in fiscal years 2024 and 2023 and the amounts in future periods are not expected to be significant.
The Business had been reported in the Company’s Discovery & Analytical Solutions segment, which is now referred to as the Life Sciences segment. The sale of the Business represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial statements. Accordingly, t he Business is reported for all pe riods as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the results of discontinued operations which are presented as income from discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations:

The Company regularly reviews its tax positions in each significant taxing jurisdiction in the process of evaluating its unrecognized tax benefits. The Company makes adjustments to its unrecognized tax benefits when: (i) facts and circumstances regarding a tax position change, causing a change in management’s judgment regarding that tax position; (ii) a tax position is effectively settled with a tax authority at a differing amount; and/or (iii) the statute of limitations expires regarding a tax position. The Company has recognized the change in tax positions in prior periods through both continuing and discontinuing operations.
The tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows for the fiscal years ended:
December 29,
2024 December 31,
2023 January 1,
2023
(In thousands)
Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year $ 129,056 $ 57,948 $ 61,658

Lapse of statute of limitations ( 7,251 ) ( 10,830 ) ( 8,625 )
Foreign currency translation adjustments ( 1,643 ) 2,272 ( 1,242 )
Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year $ 149,785 $ 129,056 $ 57,948
The Company classifies interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. At December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued interest and penalties of $ 5.1 million and $ 6.3 million, respectively. During fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized a net benefit of $ 1.2 million, $ 1.1 million and $ 0.5 million, respectively, for interest and penalties in its total tax provision. At December 29, 2024, substantially all of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that approximately $ 76.1 million of its uncertain tax positions at December 29, 2024, including accrued interest and penalties, and net of tax benefits, may be resolved over the next twelve months as a result of lapses in applicable statutes of limitations and potential settlements. Various tax years aft er 2010 r emain open to examination by certain jurisdictions in which the Company has significant business operations, such as China, Finland, Germany, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. The tax years under examination vary by jurisdiction.

At December 29, 2024, the Company had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $ 104.9 million, state net operating loss ca rryforwards of $ 6.2 million, foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $ 549.8 million, state tax credit carryforwards of $ 11.8 million and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $ 24.7 million. Certain net operating loss carryforwards and state credit carryforwards do not expire, while other losses begin to expire in 2025.
Valuation allowances take into consideration limitations imposed upon the use of the tax attributes and reduce the value of such items to the likely net realizable amount. The Company regularly evaluates positive and negative evidence available to determine if valuation allowances are required or if existing valuation allowances are no longer required. Valuation allowances have been provided on state net operating loss and state tax credit carryforwards and on certain foreign tax attributes that the Company has determined are not more likely tha n not to be realized. The increase in the valuation allowance of $ 29.8 million in fiscal year 2024 was primarily due to generation of foreign tax credit carryforwards for which a benefit is not expected to be realized in future periods.
The Company records the applicable taxes associated with the future remittance of undistributed foreign earnings previously taxed at the U.S. federal level and/or that would be claimed for a dividend received deduction if repatriated. For the remaining other undistributed foreign earnings and outside basis differences we continue to be indefinitely reinvested and have

not provided any taxes for these amounts, and it is not practicable to estimate the amount of deferred tax liability that would be incurred.
Note 6: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less restricted unvested shares. Diluted earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, primarily shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. The following table reconciles the number of shares utilized in the earnings per share calculations for the fiscal years ended:

Antidilutive securities include outstanding stock options with exercise prices and average unrecognized compensation cost in excess of the average fair market value of common stock for the related period. Antidilutive securities also include restricted stock awards with average unrecognized compensation cost in excess of the average fair market value of the common stock for the related period. Antidilutive options and restricted stock awards were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share and could become dilutive in the future.

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. On August 24, 2021, the Company entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (“2021 Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility”) with a five-year term and a borrowing capacity o f $ 1.5 billion available through August 24, 2026. As of December 29, 2024, undrawn letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $ 4.2 million were treated as issued and outstanding when calculating the borrowing availability under the facility. As of December 29, 2024, the Company had $ 1.5 billion available for additional borrowing under the facility. Borrowings bore interest, payable quarterly or, if earlier, at the end of an y interest period, at the Company ’ s option at either (a) the base rate (as described in the credit agreement), or (b) the eurocurrency rate (a publicly published rate), in each case plus a percentage spread based on the credit rating of the Company ’s debt. The base rate was the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 0.50 %, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate”, and (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00 % . T he credit agreement for the facility contained customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default. The financial covenants included a debt-to-capitalization ratio that remained applicable for so long as the Company ’ s debt was rated as investment grade. In the event that the Company ’ s debt was not rated as investment grade, the debt-to-capitalization ratio covenant was replaced with leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants.
On January 7, 2025, the 2021 Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility was cancelled and replaced with a new senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a five-year term and a borrowing capacity of $ 1.5 billion available through January 7, 2030. Borrowings will bear interest, payable quarterly or, if earlier, at the end of any interest period, at the Company’s option at either (a) the base rate (as described in the credit agreement), or (b) the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) (as described in the credit agreement), in each case plus a percentage spread based on the credit rating of the Company’s debt. The base rate is the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 0.50 %, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America as its “prime rate”, and (c) Term SOFR plus 1.00 %. The credit agreement for the new facility contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants and events of default. The financial covenants include a debt-to-capitalization ratio that remains applicable for so long as the Company’s debt is rated as investment grade. In the event that the Company’s debt is not rated as investment grade, the debt-to-capitalization ratio covenant is replaced with leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants.
During fiscal year 2024, the Company paid in full $ 711.5 million of outstanding 2024 Notes that became due in September 2024. During fiscal year 2024, the Company received proceeds of $ 710.0 million upon the maturity of all its outstanding U.S. Treasury securities and utilized those proceeds to partially repay the outstanding 2024 Notes.

Note 14: Employee Benefit Plans
Savings Plan: The Company has a 401(k) Savings Plan for the benefit of all qualified U.S. employees, with such employees receiving matching contributions in the amount equal to 100.0 % of the first 5.0 % of eligible compensation up to applicable Internal Revenue Service limits. Savings plan expense was $ 13.3 million in fiscal year 2024, $ 15.0 million in fiscal year 2023, and $ 20.0 million in fiscal year 2022.
Pension Plans: The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering certain U.S. employees and non-U.S. pension plans for certain non-U.S. employees. The principal U.S. defined benefit pension plan is closed to new hires and plan benefits have been frozen. The plans provide benefits that are based on an employee’s years of service and compensation near retirement.
In December 2024, the Company entered into an annuity purchase agreement to irrevocably transfer a portion of the U.S. pension benefit obligation to a third-party insurance company. The annuity purchase price was $ 96.3 million and was funded from U.S. pension plan assets. The resulting settlement of the U.S. pension plan was not material and included in the actuarial gains and losses recognized during the fiscal year 2024.
In January 2025, the Company executed a sale of its United Kingdom (“UK”) pension plan to a third party as part of a multi-year buy-out plan. The resulting settlement of the UK pension plan was not material.

Net periodic pension cost (credit) $ 10,314 $ 20,062 $ ( 28,680 )
The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses, unless an interim remeasurement is required, in the fourth quarter of the year in which the gains and losses occur. Such adjustments for gains and losses are primarily driven by events and circumstances beyond the Company’s control, including changes in interest rates, the performance of the financial markets and mortality assumptions. Actuarial gains and losses, including other components of periodic pension cost, are recognized in the line item “Interest and other expense, net” in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The Company’s expected rate of return on assets assumptions are derived from management’s estimates, as well as other information compiled by management, including studies that utilize customary procedures and techniques. The studies include a review of anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes and consideration of the appropriate asset allocation strategy given the anticipated requirements of the plans to determine the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested to provide for the pension plans benefits. While the study gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is primarily a long-term, prospective rate.
The Company’s discount rate assumptions are derived from a range of factors, including a yield curve for certain plans, composed of the rates of return on high-quality fixed-income corporate bonds available at the measurement date and the related expected duration for the obligations, and a bond matching approach for certain plans.

The Company maintains target allocation percentages among various asset classes based on investment policies established for the pension plans which are designed to maximize the total rate of return (income and appreciation) after inflation within the limits of prudent risk taking, while providing for adequate near-term liquidity for benefit payments.
The target allocations for plan assets are listed in the above table. Equity securities primarily include investments in mutual funds with holdings in large-cap and mid-cap companies located in the United States and abroad. Debt securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, high-yield bonds, and U.S. government securities. Other types of investments include investments in non-U.S. government index linked bonds, multi-strategy hedge funds, venture capital funds and foreign liability driven investments that follow several different strategies.

Valuation Techniques: Valuation techniques utilized need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There have been no changes in the methodologies utilized at December 29, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. The following is a description of the valuation techniques utilized to measure the fair value of the assets shown in the table above.
Equity Securities: Mutual funds held by the Master Trust are open‑ended mutual funds that are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Master Trust are deemed to be actively traded. These are categorized as Level 1 assets.
Fixed Income Securities: Fixed income U.S. government bonds are valued at quoted market prices and are categorized as Level 1 assets.
Fixed income corporate bond exchange traded funds or individual fixed income corporate bonds are categorized as Level 2 assets except where sufficient quoted prices exist in active markets, in which case such securities are categorized as Level 1 assets. These securities are valued using third-party pricing services. These services may use, for example, model-based pricing

methods that utilize observable market data as inputs. Broker dealer bids or quotes of securities with similar characteristics may also be used.
Other Types of Investments: In September 2021, the Company’s UK pension plan executed a buy-in contract with Phoenix Life LTD (“Phoenix”), under which the Company made an upfront payment to Phoenix in exchange for Phoenix agreeing to make the benefit payments under the Company’s UK pension plan due to specified participants and their beneficiaries, thus transferring most of the investment and longevity risk associated with the covered participants and beneficiaries from the Company to Phoenix. This buy-in contract can be considered a liability-driven investment (“LDI”) solution that hedges not only the investment risk but also the longevity risk under the Company’s UK pension plan. Like other LDI solutions, it does not eliminate ongoing administrative costs. These are categorized as Level 3 assets.
The Company’s policy is to recognize significant transfers between levels at the actual date of the event.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending Level 3 investments is as follows:

The Company also sponsors a supplemental executive retirement plan to provide senior management with benefits in excess of normal pension benefits. Effective July 31, 2000, this plan was closed to new entrants. At December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the projected benefit obligations were $ 16.4 million and $ 18.6 million, respectively. Assets with a fair value of $ 0.6 million, segregated in a trust (which is included in marketable securities in the Other assets, net, on the consolidated balance sheets), were available to meet this obligation as of each of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Pension income and expenses for this plan netted to income of $ 0.3 million in fiscal year 2024, expense of $ 1.5 million in fiscal year 2023 and income of $ 3.2 million in fiscal year 2022.
Post-retirement Medical Plan: The Company provides healthcare benefits for eligible retired U.S. employees under a comprehensive major medical plan or under health maintenance organizations where available. Eligible U.S. employees qualify for retiree health benefits if they retire directly from the Company and have at least ten years of service. Generally, the major medical plan pays stated percentages of covered expenses after a deductible is met and takes into consideration payments by other group coverage and by Medicare. The plan requires retiree contributions under most circumstances and has provisions for cost-sharing charges. Effective January 1, 2000, this plan was closed to new hires. For employees retiring after 1991, the Company has capped its medical premium contribution based on employees’ years of service. The Company funds the amount allowable under a 401(h) provision in the Company’s defined benefit pension plan. Assets of the plan are primarily equity and debt securities and are available only to pay retiree health benefits. The costs of this plan are not material and the net assets in the plan totaled $ 19.2 million and $ 18.5 million at December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Note 15: Contingencies
The Company is conducting a number of environmental investigations and remedial actions at current and former locations of the Company and, along with other companies, has been named a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for certain waste disposal sites. The Company accrues for environmental issues in the accounting period that the Company’s responsibility is established and when the cost can be reasonably estimated. The Company has accrued $ 14.2 million and $ 14.1 million as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respecti vely, in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, which represents its management’s estimate of the cost of the remediation of known environmental matters, and does not include any potential liability for related personal injury or property damage claims. The Company’s environmental accrual is not discounted and does not reflect the recovery of any material amounts through insurance or indemnification arrangements. The cost estimates are subject to a number of variables, including the stage of the environmental investigations, the magnitude of the possible contamination, the nature of the potential remedies, possible joint and several liability, the time period over which remediation may occur, and the possible effects of changing laws and regulations. For sites where the Company has been named a PRP, management does not currently anticipate any additional liability to result from the inability of other significant named parties to contribute. The Company expects that the majority of such accrued amounts could be paid out over a period of up to ten years. As assessment and remediation activities progress at each individual site, these liabilities are reviewed and adjusted to reflect additional information as it becomes available. There have been no environmental problems to date that have had, or are expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. While it is possible that a loss exceeding the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements may be incurred, the potential exposure is not expected to be materially different from those amounts recorded.
The Company is subject to various claims, legal proceedings and investigations covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities, including product liability claims. Legal defense costs are recognized as incurred, and insurance recoveries are recognized when collection is probable. Although the Company has established accruals for potential losses that it believes are probable and reasonably estimable, in the opinion of the Company’s management, based on its review of the information available at the reporting date, the total cost of resolving these contingencies at December 29, 2024 should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, each of these matters is subject to uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company.
Note 16: Stock Plans
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company’s 2019 Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) authorizes the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards and cash awards as part of the Company’s compensation programs. The 2019 Plan replaced the Company’s 2009 Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). Upon shareholder approval of the 2019 Plan, 6.25 million shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as shares of the Company’s common stock previously granted under the 2009 Plan that expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company at their original issuance price subject to a contractual repurchase right, became available for grant under the 2019 Plan. Awards granted under the 2009 Plan prior to its expiration remain outstanding. As part of the Company’s compensation programs, the Company also offers shares of its common stock under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
The following table summarizes total pre-tax compensation expense recognized related to the Company’s stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance restricted stock units and stock grants, included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations:

Table of Contents
The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for stock-based compensation was $ 8.0 million in fiscal year 2024, $ 10.6 million in fiscal year 2023 and $ 12.8 million in fiscal year 2022. Stock-based compensation costs capitalized as part of inventory were immaterial in all periods presented.
Stock Options: The Company has granted options to purchase common shares at prices equal to the market price of the common shares on the date the option is granted. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. Options are generally exercisable in equal annual installments over a period of three years , and will generally expire seven years after the date of grant. Options replaced in association with business combination transactions are generally issued with the same terms of the respective plans under which they were originally issued.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated based on the historical and implied volatility of the Company’s stock. The average expected life was based on the contractual term of the option and historic exercise experience. The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. The Company’s weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model were as follows for the fiscal years ended:
December 29,
2024 December 31,
2023 January 1,
2023
Risk-free interest rate 4.1 % 4.1 % 2.3 %
Expected dividend yield 0.3 % 0.2 % 0.2 %
Expected lives 5 years 5 years 5 years

The aggregate intrinsic value for outstanding and exercisable stock options at December 29, 2024 was $ 4.8 million with a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 3.2 years. At December 29, 2024, there were 1.2 million outstanding stock options that were vested and expected to vest in the future, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $ 6.8 million and a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 4.2 years.
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $ 37.85 , $ 45.18 , and $ 48.09 per share, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $ 4.9 million, $ 2.4 million, and $ 13.9 million, respectively. Cash received from option exercises for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $ 7.7 million, $ 4.3 million, and $ 14.1 million, respectively. The total compensation expense recognized related to the Company’s outstanding options was $ 9.8 million in fiscal year 2024, $ 9.1 million in fiscal year 2023 and $ 9.5 million in fiscal year 2022.
There was $ 11.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted as of December 29, 2024. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.
Restricted Stock Awards: The Company has awarded shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units to certain employees and non-employee directors at no cost to them, which cannot be sold, assigned, transferred or pledged during the restriction period. The restricted stock and restricted stock units vest through the passage of time, assuming continued

The fair value of restricted stock awards vested during fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $ 30.9 million, $ 31.5 million, and $ 32.8 million, respectively. The total compensation expense recognized related to the restricted stock awards was $ 22.3 million in fiscal year 2024, $ 28.3 million in fiscal year 2023 and $ 34.2 million in fiscal year 2022.
As of December 29, 2024, there was $ 17.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, related to nonvested restricted stock awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan:
In April 1999, the Company’s shareholders approved the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. In April 2005, the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) voted to amend the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, effective July 1, 2005, whereby participating employees have the right to purchase common stock at a price equal to 95 % of the closing price on the last day of each six-month offering period. The number of shares which an employee may purchase, subject to certain aggregate limits, is determined by the employee’s voluntary contribution, which may not exceed 10 % of the employee’s base compensation. During fiscal year 2024, the Company issued 14,339 shares of common stock under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan at a weighted-average price of $ 99.62 per share. During fiscal year 2023, the Company issued 28,899 shares under this plan at a weighted-average price of $ 108.37 per share. During fiscal year 2022, the Company issued 30,818 shares under this plan at a weighted-average price of $ 134.05 per share. At December 29, 2024, there remains available for sale to employees an aggregate of 0.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock out of the 5.0 million shares authorized by shareholders for issuance under this plan.

Stock Repurchases:
On April 27, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized the Company to repurchase shares of common stock for an aggregate amount up to $ 600.0 million under a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”). On October 24, 2024, the Repurchase Program was terminated by the Board and the Board authorized the Company to repurchase shares of common stock for an aggregate amount up to $ 1.0 billion under a new stock repurchase program (the “New Repurchase Program”). No shares remain available for repurchase under the Repurchase Program due to its termination. The New Repurchase Program will expire on October 24, 2026 unless terminated earlier by the Board and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During fiscal year 2024, the Company repurchased 1,820,296 shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program for an aggregate cost of $ 213.6 million. During fiscal year 2024, the Company repurchased 1,238,755 shares of common stock under the New Repurchase Program for an aggregate cost of $ 142.8 million. As of December 29, 2024, $ 857.2 million remained available for aggregate repurchases of shares under the New Repurchase Program.
Subsequent to fiscal year 2024, the Company repurchased 575,758 shares of common stock under the New Repurchase Program at an aggregate cost of $ 66.8 million.
In addition, the Board has authorized the Company to repurchase shares of common stock to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards granted pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans and to satisfy obligations related to the exercise of stock options made pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans. During fiscal year 2024, the Company repurchased 86,484 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $ 9.8 million. During fiscal year 2023, the Company repurchased 103,144 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $ 13.1 million. During fiscal year 2022, the Company repurchased 115,247 shares of common stock for this purpose at an aggregate cost of $ 18.1 million. The repurchased shares have been reflected as additional authorized but unissued shares, with the payments reflected in common stock and capital in excess of par value.
Dividends:
The Board declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $ 0.07 per share in each quarter of fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, resulting in an annual cash dividends of $ 0.28 per share for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022. At December 29, 2024, the Company had accrued $ 8.6 million for a di vidend declared in October 24, 2024 for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 that was paid in February 2025 . On January 23, 2025 , the Company announced that the Board had declared a quarterly dividend of $ 0.07 per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 that will be payable in May 2025 . In the future, the Board may determine to reduce or eliminate the Company’s common stock dividend in order to fund investments for growth, repurchase shares or conserve capital resources.

Note 18: Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The Company uses derivative instruments as part of its risk management strategy only, and includes derivatives utilized as economic hedges that are not designated as hedging instruments. By nature, all financial instruments involve market and credit risks. The Company enters into derivative instruments with major investment grade financial institutions and has policies to monitor the credit risk of those counterparties. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for trading or other speculative purposes, nor does the Company use leveraged financial instruments. Approximately 60 % of the Company’s business is conducted outside of the United States, generally in foreign currencies. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into foreign exchange contracts for periods consistent with its committed exposures to mitigate the effect of foreign currency movements on transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The intent of these economic hedges is to offset gains and losses that occur on the underlying exposures from these currencies, with gains and losses resulting from the forward currency contracts that hedge these exposures. Transactions covered by hedge contracts include intercompany and third-party receivables and payables. The contracts are primarily in European and Asian currencies, have maturities that do not exceed 12 months, have no cash requirements until maturity, and are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s foreign currency contracts are recognized immediately in interest and other expense, net. The cash flows related to the settlement of these hedges are included in cash flows from operating activities within the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
Principal hedged currencies include the Chinese Renminbi, British Pound, Euro and Singapore Dollar. The Company held forward foreign exchange contracts, designated as economic hedges, with U.S. dollar equivalent notional amounts totaling $ 409.8 million at December 29, 2024 and $ 412.1 million at December 31, 2023, and the fair value of these foreign currency derivative contracts was insignificant. The gains and losses realized on these foreign currency derivative contracts are not material. The duration of these contracts was generally 30 days or less during each of fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022.
During fiscal year 2018, the Company designated a portion of the 2026 Notes to hedge its investments in certain foreign subsidiaries. Unrealized translation adjustments from a portion of the 2026 Notes were included in the foreign currency translation component of AOCI, which offsets translation adjustments on the underlying net assets of foreign subsidiaries. The cumulative translation gains or losses will remain in AOCI until the foreign subsidiaries are liquidated or sold. As of December 29, 2024, the total notional amount of the 2026 Notes that was designated to hedge investments in foreign subsidiaries was € 498.6 million. The unrealized foreign exchange (gains) losses recorded in AOCI related to the ne t investment hedge were $( 31.7 ) million , $ 19.5 million and $( 34.5 ) million during the fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company does no t expect any material net pre-tax gains or losses to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into interest and other expense, net within the next twelve months.
Note 19: Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents, derivatives, marketable securities, accounts receivable and notes receivable. The Company believes it had no significant concentrations of credit risk as of December 29, 2024.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are primarily comprised of marketable securities, derivative contracts used to hedge the Company’s currency risk, and acqu isition and divestiture related contingent consideration. The Company has not elected to measure any additional financial instruments or other items at fair value.
Valuation Hierarchy: The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required to measure fair value. For Level 1 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices as these instruments have active markets. For Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes quoted market prices in markets that are not active, broker or dealer quotations, or utilizes alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. For Level 3 inputs, the Company utilizes unobservable inputs based on the best information available, including estimates by management primarily based on information provided by third-party fund managers, independent brokerage firms and insurance companies. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.
The following tables show the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023 classified in one of the three classifications described above:

Level 1 and Level 2 Valuation Techniques: The Company’s Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities are comprised of investments in equity and fixed-income securities as well as derivative contracts. For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 1 and Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including common stock price quotes, foreign exchange forward prices and bank price quotes. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities.
Marketable securities - available for sale: Includes equ ity and mutual fund investments measured at fair value using the quoted market prices in active markets at the reporting date.
Foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities: Include foreign exchange derivative contracts that are valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. The Company’s foreign exchange derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements that allow the Company and its counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other. Derivative assets and liabilities that can be net settled under these arrangements have been presented in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet on a net basis and are recorded in other assets. As of both December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of the master netting arrangements involved collateral.
Level 3 Valuation Techniques: The Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities are comprised of contingent consideration related to the sale of the Business (see Note 3) and acquisitions. For assets and liabilities that utilize Level 3 inputs, the Company uses significant unobservable inputs. Below is a summary of valuation techniques for Level 3 assets and liabilities.
Contingent consideration: Contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the disposition or acquisition date using projected milestone dates, discount rates, volatility, probabilities of success and projected achievement of financial targets, including revenues of the acquired business in many instances. Projected risk-adjusted contingent payments are discounted back to the current period using a discounted cash flow model.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
The fair value of the contingent consideration asset was initially measured using a lattice model and recognized upon the sale of the Business on March 13, 2023. In accordance with the terms of the sale of the Business, the Company is entitled to receive up to $ 150.0 million that is contingent on the exit valuation the Sponsor and its affiliated funds receive on a sale or other capital event related to the Business. Potential valuation adjustments may be made as additional information and market factors that impact the expected exit valuation of the Business becomes available, with the impact of such adjustments being recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Adjustments to the fair value since initial recognition were not material.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending Level 3 contingent consideration asset is as follows:

Note 21: Industry Segment and Geographic Area Information
The Company discloses information about its operating segments based on the way that management organizes the segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The CODM of the Company is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The CEO evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on revenue and operating income as adjusted for certain items. Intersegment revenue and transfers are not significant. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1.
The principal products and services of the Company’s two reportable segments are:
• Life Sciences . Provides products and services targeted towards the life sciences customers.
• Diagnostics . Develops diagnostics, tools and applications focused on clinically-oriented customers, especially within the reproductive health, emerging market diagnostics and applied genomics.
The Company has included the expenses for its corporate headquarters, such as legal, tax, audit, human resources, information technology, and other management and compliance costs, as well as the activity related to the mark-to-market adjustment on postretirement benefit plans, as “Corporate” below. The Company has a process to allocate and recharge expenses to the reportable segments when these costs are administered or paid by the corporate headquarters based on the extent to which the segment benefited from the expenses. These amounts have been calculated in a consistent manner and are included in the Company’s calculations of segment results to internally plan and assess the performance of each segment for all purposes, including determining the compensation of the business leaders for each of the Company’s operating segments.
The primary financial measure by which the Company evaluates the performance of its segments is adjusted operating income, which consists of operating income plus amortization of intangible assets, adjustments to operations arising from purchase accounting (primarily adjustments to the fair value of acquired inventory that are subsequently recognized), acquisition and divestiture-related costs, and other costs that are not expected to recur or are of a non-cash nature, including primarily restructuring actions. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information and there are no segment assets reported to the CODM. Accordingly, no segment assets have been reported.
