+Added: As of June 30, 2021, all of the Company's inventories were determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods.
+Added: As of the end of the first quarter of 2021, the Company had $ 1 million of inventories accounted for under the Last in first out (“LIFO”) method of inventory costing.
+Added: Effective as of the beginning of the second quarter, the method of accounting for these inventories was changed from LIFO to FIFO.
+Added: This change in accounting is preferable as the value of inventory for which cost was previously determined using a LIFO cost flow assumption has declined from prior years due to changes in the business, and it also allows for a more consistent methodology being utilized across the Company, and provides improved comparability with industry peers.
+Added: The change in accounting principle was recognized during the second quarter of 2021 by adjusting these inventories to cost as determined using the FIFO method, resulting in an increase in inventories of $ 4 million and a corresponding reduction to Cost of products sold in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.
+Added: The impact of this change is not material to the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s results of operations for any previously reported prior periods nor is the cumulative effect of the change material to the results of operations for the second quarter of 2021.
+Added: Therefore, prior period amounts have not been retrospectively adjusted.
+Added: Goodwill & Intangible Assets
+Added: Effective 2021 and prospectively, the Company will perform its required annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1 rather than on April 30 which was the Company’s previous practice.
+Added: The Company believes this change is preferable as it more closely aligns with the timing of the Company’s strategic business planning process.
+Added: The Company does not believe this change resulted in any delay, acceleration or avoidance of impairment.
+Added: Furthermore, a retrospective application to prior periods is impracticable as the Company is unable to objectively determine, without the use of hindsight, the assumptions which would be used in earlier periods.
+Added: Additional information related to the annual impairment test is provided in Note 13, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

−Removed: In conjunction with the most recent annual test of goodwill at April 30, 2020, the Company applied a hypothetical sensitivity analysis to its reporting units.
−Removed: If the discount rate of these reporting units had been hypothetically increased by 100 basis points, or, in a separate test, each reporting unit were subject to a 10% hypothetical reduction in fair value, it is noted that the Implants reporting unit would have had a fair value approximating book value.
−Removed: For the Equipment & Instruments reporting unit which recorded an impairment during the first quarter of 2020, the implied fair value was found to approximate net book value at April 30, 2020, and therefore this reporting unit is noted to be sensitive to any unfavorable change in assumptions.

−Removed: For these assets, the implied fair values continued to approximate net book values at April 30, 2020 and are therefore noted to be sensitive to any unfavorable changes in assumptions.

−Removed: It is management's assessment that no such events have occurred.
−Removed: A change in any of the estimates and assumptions used in the annual test, a decline in the overall markets or in the use of intangible assets among other factors, could have a negative material impact to the fair value of either the reporting units or intangible assets and could result in a future impairment charge.
+Added: The Company assesses both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during the second quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired.
+Added: The Company conducted its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test as of April 1, 2021.
+Added: Based on the Company's 2021 impairment test, it was determined that the fair values of its reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets more likely than not exceed their respective carrying values, resulting in no impairment.
+Added: The fair values of reporting units were computed using a discounted cash flow model with inputs developed using both internal and market-based data.
+Added: Intangible assets were evaluated for impairment using an income approach, specifically a relief from royalty method, or using a qualitative assessment.
+Added: A change in any of the estimates and assumptions used in the annual test, a decline in the overall markets or in the use of intangible assets among other factors, could have a material adverse effect to the fair value of either the reporting units or intangible assets and could result in a future impairment charge.
There can be no assurance that the Company’s future asset impairment testing will not result in a material charge to earnings.
+Added: Subsequent to the annual impairment test, as of June 30, 2021, the Company considered whether any events or changes in circumstances had resulted in the likelihood that the goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets may have become impaired during the course of the quarter, and concluded that there were no such indicators.
+Added: During the first six months ended June 30, 2020, as a result of updating the estimates and assumptions pertaining to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $ 157 million related to the goodwill associated with the Technologies & Equipment segment.
+Added: Additionally, during the same first six months of 2020, the Company recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge of $ 39 million within the Technologies & Equipment segment which was driven by a decline in forecasted sales as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and an unfavorable change in the discount rate.
