QuidelOrtho Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of QuidelOrtho Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “QuidelOrtho”) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been included. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this Quarterly Report for definitions of terms used throughout this Quarterly Report.
The information at March 30, 2025, and for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, is unaudited. For further information, refer to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 included in QuidelOrtho’s Annual Report. Operating results for any quarter are historically seasonal in nature and are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
The Company follows the concept of a fiscal year that ends on the Sunday nearest to the end of the month of December, and fiscal quarters that end on the Sunday nearest to the end of the months of March, June and September. For 2025 and 2024, the Company’s fiscal year will end or has ended on December 28, 2025 (“fiscal year ended 2025”) and December 29, 2024 (“fiscal year ended 2024”), respectively. For fiscal years ended 2025 and 2024, the Company’s first quarter ended on March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024 each included 13 weeks.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no accounting pronouncements issued or adopted during the three months ended March 30, 2025 that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 2. Computation of Earnings Per Share
The following table presents the calculation of the weighted-average shares used in computing basic and diluted EPS in the respective periods:
Three Months Ended
(In millions) March 30, 2025 March 31, 2024
Basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding 67.5  66.9 
Dilutive potential shares issuable from stock options and RSUs (1)
—  — 
Diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding 67.5  66.9 
(1) In the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, all potential shares of common stock issuable for stock options and RSUs were excluded from the dilutive calculations above because the effect of including them would have been anti-dilutive. The dilutive effect of potential shares of common stock issuable for stock options and RSUs on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding would have been as follows:
Three Months Ended
(In millions) March 30, 2025 March 31, 2024
Basic weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding 67.5  66.9 
Dilutive potential shares issuable from stock options and RSUs 0.4  0.4 
Diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding 67.9  67.3 
Stock options and RSUs where the combined exercise price and unrecognized stock-based compensation was greater than the average market price for the Company’s common stock were not included in the computations of diluted weighted-average shares because the effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.
8


These stock options and RSUs represented 1.5 million and 1.9 million shares of common stock for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Note 3. Revenue
Contract Balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records an asset when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing a customer (a “contract asset”). Contract assets are included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and are transferred to accounts receivable when the right to payment becomes unconditional.
The contract asset balance consisted of contractual arrangements with certain customers under which the Company invoices the customers based on reportable results generated by its reagents; however, control of the goods transfers to the customers upon shipment or delivery of the products, as determined under the terms of the contract. Using the expected value method, the Company estimates the number of reagents that will generate a reportable result. The Company records the revenue upon shipment and an associated contract asset, and relieves the contract asset upon completion of the invoicing. The balance of the contract asset related to these arrangements was $32.9 million and $32.5 million as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively.
The Company reviews contract assets for expected credit losses resulting from the collectability of customer accounts. Expected losses are established based on historical losses, customer mix and credit policies, current economic conditions in customers’ country or industry, and expectations associated with reasonable and supportable forecasts. No credit losses related to contract assets were recognized during the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
The Company recognizes a contract liability when a customer pays an invoice prior to the Company transferring control of the goods or services (“contract liabilities”). The Company’s contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue primarily related to customer service contracts. The Company classifies deferred revenue as current or non-current based on the timing of the transfer of control or performance of the service. The balance of the Company’s current deferred revenue was $34.4 million and $33.5 million as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, and was included in Other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has one arrangement with a customer where the revenue is expected to be recognized beyond one year. The balance of the deferred revenue included in long-term liabilities was $17.2 million and $17.3 million as of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, respectively, and was included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of deferred revenue as of December 29, 2024 that was recorded in Total revenues during the three months ended March 30, 2025 was $16.8 million.
Joint Business with Grifols
The Company has an ongoing Joint Business between Ortho and Grifols, under which Ortho and Grifols agreed to pursue a collaboration relating to Ortho’s Hepatitis and HIV diagnostics business. The governance of the Joint Business is shared through a supervisory board made up of equal representation by Ortho and Grifols, which is responsible for all significant decisions relating to the Joint Business that are not exclusively assigned to either Ortho or Grifols, as defined in the Joint Business agreement. The Company’s portion of the pre-tax net profit shared under the Joint Business was $15.9 million and $8.1 million during the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts included the Company’s portion of the pre-tax net profit of $2.6 million and $5.0 million during the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, on sales transactions with third parties where the Company is the principal. The Company recognized revenues, cost of sales, excluding amortization of intangibles, and operating expenses, on a gross basis on these sales transactions in their respective lines in the Consolidated Statements of Loss. The Company’s portion of the pre-tax net profit also included revenue from collaboration and royalty agreements of $13.3 million and $3.1 million during the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, which is presented on a net basis within Total revenues.

(1) For presentation purposes, as a result of the wind-down of the U.S. donor screening portfolio, the previously reported Transfusion Medicine business unit is shown in its two product categories: Immunohematology and Donor Screening. Prior periods have been revised to align with the current period presentation.
Concentration of Revenue and Credit Risk
For the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, one customer represented 13% and 11% of Total revenues, respectively. Revenues related to the Company’s respiratory products accounted for 17% and 19% for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
As of March 30, 2025, no customers had a balance due in excess of 10% of Accounts receivable, net. As of December 29, 2024, customers with a balance due in excess of 10% of Accounts receivable, net totaled $33.7 million.
Note 4. Segment and Geographic Information
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company revised the internal allocation of certain global costs primarily between the North America segment and Corporate to better align costs that impact the Company as a whole. Prior periods have been revised to align with the current period presentation. The following table presents the results of operations of the Company’s reportable segments for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024:

(1) The significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM.
(2) Primarily consists of costs related to executive and staff functions, including certain finance, human resources, manufacturing and IT functions, which benefit the Company as a whole. These costs are primarily related to the general management of these functions on a corporate level and the design and development of programs, policies and procedures that are then implemented in the individual segments, with each segment bearing its own cost of implementation. The Company’s corporate function also includes debt and stock-based compensation associated with all employee stock-based awards.
(3) Represents incremental consulting costs and R&D manufacturing site costs to align compliance of the Company’s existing, on-market products that were previously registered under the European In Vitro Diagnostics Directive regulatory framework with the requirements under the EU’s In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation, which generally apply from May 2022 onwards.
The CODM reviews the segment adjusted EBITDA results against the forecast to assess segment performance and determine how to allocate resources. The CODM does not review and is not provided capital expenditures, total depreciation and amortization or assets by segment, and therefore this information has been excluded as it does not comprise part of management’s key performance metrics.
Note 5. Income Taxes
The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary quarterly earnings to calculate the tax related to ordinary income. The tax effects for other items that are excluded from ordinary income are discretely calculated and recognized in the period in which they occur.
For the three months ended March 30, 2025, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes of $3.9 million in relation to loss before income taxes of $8.8 million, resulting in a negative effective tax rate of 44.3%. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $92.9 million in relation to loss before income taxes of $1,798.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 5.2%. For the three months ended March 30, 2025, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the impacts of operating losses in certain subsidiaries not being benefited due to the establishment of valuation allowances. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to goodwill impairment charges that are nondeductible for tax purposes.
11


The balance of unrecognized tax benefits at March 30, 2025, not including interest and penalties, was $184.3 million, of which $17.2 million could affect the effective income tax rate in future periods, if recognized. The Company also recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At March 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $1.6 million of interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company estimates that within the next 12 months, its uncertain tax positions, excluding interest, should decrease by $5.1 million.
The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Due to the carryforward of unutilized credits, the Company’s federal tax years from 2014 and onwards are subject to examination by the U.S. authorities. The Company’s state and foreign tax years for 2001 and onwards are subject to examination by applicable tax authorities. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors, including past experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter.

On April 12, 2024, a purported stockholder of the Company filed a putative class action complaint under the federal securities laws against the Company and three of its current and former executives. The complaint, which is captioned Bristol County Retirement System v. QuidelOrtho Corporation, et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-02804-JAV (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Bristol County Complaint”), asserts claims for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder related to statements regarding sales of the Company’s COVID-19 diagnostic tests and the 510(k) submission for its Savanna RVP4 assay. The Bristol County Complaint seeks a judgment determining that the lawsuit can be maintained as a class action and awarding the plaintiff and putative class damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys’ and experts’ fees, and costs. On December 16, 2024, the court appointed Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Health and Welfare Fund and Teamsters Local 710 Pension Fund (“Teamsters Funds”) as lead plaintiffs in the action, and approved their selection of lead counsel. Teamsters Funds filed an amended complaint on February 7, 2025, and added as additional defendants three current and former executives of the Company not previously named in the Bristol County Complaint. On April 4, 2025, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.
On April 25, 2024, and June 21, 2024, two purported stockholders of the Company filed separate stockholder derivative complaints, purportedly on behalf of the Company, against the current and certain former members of the Board and three of the Company’s current and former executives. The complaints, which are captioned Matthew Whitfield v. Kenneth F. Buechler, Ph.D., et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-03176-JAV (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Whitfield Complaint”), and Steven Pinkney v. Douglas Bryant, et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-4753-JAV (S.D.N.Y.) (the “Pinkney Complaint”), assert claims for violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-5 and 14a-9 promulgated thereunder, breach of fiduciary duty, aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets related to statements regarding sales of the Company’s COVID-19 diagnostic tests and the 510(k) submission for its Savanna RVP4 assay.

The Whitfield and Pinkney Complaints seek judgments awarding compensatory and punitive damages against the individual defendants, directing an accounting by the individual defendants, directing the Company and the individual defendants to take actions to improve the Company’s governance and procedures, and awarding the costs and disbursements of the action, including attorneys’ fees, accountants’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses. On December 16, 2024, the court consolidated the Whitfield and Pinkney Complaints into a single action and stayed the consolidated derivative action.
The Company disputes the allegations of wrongdoing and intends to defend itself vigorously in these matters. The Company is not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from these lawsuits or to determine whether such loss, if any, would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation and other legal proceedings, including matters related to product liability claims, commercial disputes and intellectual property claims, as well as regulatory, employment, and other claims related to its business. The Company accrues for legal claims when, and to the extent that, amounts associated with the claims become probable and are reasonably estimable. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. When determining the estimated loss or range of loss, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. Estimates of probable losses resulting from these matters are inherently difficult to predict. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued for those claims. For those matters as to which the Company is not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss, the Company is not able to determine whether the loss will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Management believes that all current legal actions, to which the Company is able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss, in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. However, the resolution of, or increase in any accruals for, one or more matters may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.
Note 10. Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents the Company’s hierarchy for its assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the following periods:
  March 30, 2025 December 29, 2024
(In millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets:
Derivative assets $ —  $ 15.2  $ —  $ 15.2  $ —  $ 36.6  $ —  $ 36.6 
Liabilities:
Derivative liabilities $ —  $ 20.1  $ —  $ 20.1  $ —  $ 5.4  $ —  $ 5.4 
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 30, 2025 and fiscal year ended 2024.
Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value
The estimated fair value of the Company’s borrowings under the Term Loan was $2,217.4 million at March 30, 2025, compared to the carrying amount, excluding debt issuance costs, of $2,248.3 million. The estimated fair value of the Company’s borrowings under the Term Loan was $2,254.2 million at December 29, 2024, compared to the carrying amount, excluding debt issuance costs, of $2,282.7 million. The estimate of fair value is generally based on the quoted market prices for similar issuances of long-term debt with the same maturities, which is classified as a Level 2 input.
Note 11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company selectively uses derivative and non-derivative instruments to manage market risk associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The use of derivatives is intended for hedging purposes only, and the Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes.
Credit risk represents the Company’s gross exposure to potential accounting loss on derivative instruments that are outstanding or unsettled if all counterparties failed to perform according to the terms of the contract. The Company generally enters into master netting arrangements that reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. The Company does not have any derivative instruments with credit-risk related contingent features that would require it to post collateral.
15


Interest Rate Hedging Instruments
The Company’s interest rate risk relates primarily to interest rate exposures on variable rate debt, including the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan. Refer to “—Note 7. Borrowings” for additional information on the currently outstanding components of the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the related risk of the variability to the Company’s cash flows due to the rates specified for these credit facilities.
The Company designates its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. The Company records gains and losses due to changes in fair value of the derivatives within OCI and reclassifies these amounts to Interest expense, net in the same period or periods for which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. In the event the Company determines the hedged transaction is no longer probable to occur or concludes the hedge relationship is no longer effective, the hedge is prospectively de-designated. Pre-tax unrealized gain of $2.7 million as of March 30, 2025 is expected to be reclassified from OCI to earnings in the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate derivative agreements as of March 30, 2025, all of which were interest rate swaps:

Currency Hedging Instruments
The Company has currency risk exposures relating primarily to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and forecasted foreign currency denominated intercompany and third-party transactions. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and may use option contracts and cross currency swaps to manage its currency risk exposures. The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are denominated primarily in Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Chilean Peso, Chinese Yuan/Renminbi, Colombian Peso, Czech Koruna, Danish Krone, Euro, Indian Rupee, Japanese Yen, Mexican Peso, Philippine Peso, Singapore Dollar, South Korean Won, Swedish Krona, Swiss Franc and Thai Baht.
The Company designates certain foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges. The Company records gains and losses due to changes in fair value of the derivatives within OCI and reclassifies these amounts to Total revenues and Cost of sales, excluding amortization of intangibles in the same period or periods for which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. In the event the Company determines the hedged transaction is no longer probable to occur or concludes the hedge relationship is no longer effective, the hedge is prospectively de-designated. Pre-tax unrealized gain of $4.4 million as of March 30, 2025 is expected to be reclassified from OCI to earnings in the next 12 months.
The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts that are not part of designated hedging relationships and which are intended to mitigate exchange rate risk of monetary assets and liabilities and related forecasted transactions. The Company records these non-designated derivatives at mark-to-market with gains and losses recognized in earnings within Other expense, net.
The following table provides details of the currency hedging instruments outstanding as of March 30, 2025:
Description Notional Amount
(In millions)

Foreign currency forward contracts (purchases) $ 0.8  Cost of sales, excluding amortization of intangibles $ — 
Interest rate derivatives $ (35.0) Interest expense, net $ (7.2)
The Company also uses forward exchange contracts to hedge a portion of its net investment in foreign operations against movements in exchange rates. The forward exchange contracts are designated as hedges of the net investment in foreign operations. The unrealized gains or losses on these contracts are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments within OCI, and remain in AOCI until either the sale or complete or substantially complete liquidation of the subsidiary. The Company excludes certain portions of the change in fair value of its derivative instruments from the assessment of hedge effectiveness (excluded components). Changes in fair value of the excluded components are recognized in OCI. The Company recognizes in earnings the initial value of the excluded components on a straight-line basis over the life of the derivative instrument.
The effect of the Company’s net investment hedges on OCI and the Consolidated Statements of Loss are shown below:
Net Investment Hedging Relationships
(In millions) Amount of Pre-tax Loss (Gain) Recognized in OCI Amount of Pre-tax (Gain) Loss Recognized in Other Expense, Net for Amounts Excluded from Effectiveness Testing

Foreign exchange contracts $ 12.3  $ (3.1)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Foreign exchange contracts $ (11.0) $ (2.0)
Fair value losses on foreign currency forward contracts, as determined using Level 2 inputs, that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in Other expense, net and were $1.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025. Fair value gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Future Uncertainties and Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements are any statement contained herein that is not strictly historical, including, but not limited to, certain statements under Part I, Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” including under “Outlook” and “Liquidity Outlook,” and statements located elsewhere herein regarding our commercial, integration and other strategic goals, our cost-savings initiatives, industry prospects, our expected results of operations or financial position, and future plans, objectives, strategies, expectations and intentions. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “might,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend,” “goal,” “project,” “strategy,” “future,” “continue,” “aim,” “strive,” “seek” or similar words, expressions or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the beliefs and expectations of our management as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results or outcomes may differ significantly from those set forth or implied in the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth or implied in the forward-looking statements: fluctuations in demand for our non-respiratory and respiratory products; supply chain, production, logistics, distribution and labor disruptions and challenges; the challenges and costs of integrating, restructuring and achieving anticipated synergies as a result of the Combinations; and other macroeconomic, geopolitical, market, business, competitive and/or regulatory factors affecting our business generally, including those arising from the effects of announced or future or amended tariffs, trade policies and global trade relations, as well as those discussed under Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report. Investors should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events because these statements are based on assumptions that may not come true and are speculative by their nature. All forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to update any of the forward-looking information or time-sensitive information included in this Quarterly Report, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed expectations or otherwise, except as required by law.

From time to time, we may use our website as a channel of distribution of material information related to the Company. Financial and other material information regarding the Company is routinely posted on and accessible at https://ir.quidelortho.com/.

Overview
Our vision is to advance diagnostics to power a healthier future. With our expertise in immunoassay and molecular testing, clinical chemistry and transfusion medicine, we aim to support clarity for clinicians and patients to help create better health outcomes. Our global infrastructure and commercial reach support our customers across more than 130 countries and territories with quality diagnostics, a broad test portfolio and market-leading service. We operate globally with manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and U.K. and with sales centers, administrative offices and warehouses located throughout the world.
We manage our business geographically to better align with the market dynamics of the specific geographic regions in which we operate, with our reportable segments being North America, EMEA and China. Latin America and JPAC are immaterial operating segments that are not considered reportable segments and are included in “Other.” We generate our revenue in the following business units: Labs, Transfusion Medicine (Immunohematology and Donor Screening product categories), Point of Care and Molecular Diagnostics. We also generate non-core revenue, including through our contract manufacturing business and certain business collaborations, which accounted for $33.4 million and $31.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
For the three months ended March 30, 2025, Total revenues decreased by 3% to $692.8 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by variability of our U.S. respiratory products, mainly due to a decrease in COVID-19 revenues, partially offset by an increase in flu revenues. Currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of 150 basis points on our growth rate. Our revenues can be highly concentrated over a small number of products, including certain of our respiratory products. For the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, revenues related to our respiratory products accounted for 17% and 19% of our Total revenues, respectively.
19


The respiratory product revenue included $23.4 million and $50.2 million revenue related to COVID-19 for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Planned Wind-Down of U.S. Donor Screening Portfolio
In February 2024, we initiated a wind-down plan to transition out of the U.S. donor screening portfolio. Specifically, we plan to wind-down only the ORTHO VERSEIA® Integrated Processor platform and microplate assays, which are only sold in the U.S. and have a lower growth and margin profile. This wind-down will not affect any donor screening portfolio outside of the U.S. While our goal is to wind-down this U.S. donor screening portfolio, we will continue to support our existing customers and honor our contractual commitments. The winding down of the U.S. donor screening portfolio, as compared to the prior year periods, contributed to the decline in revenue with a margin lower than our overall margin. Refer to Item 1, “Financial Statements—Note 3. Revenue” for more information. The wind-down of our U.S. donor screening portfolio is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2025.
Recent Macroeconomic Trends and Challenges
In recent months, the United States has announced tariffs on imports from most countries, including significant tariffs on imports from U.K., Canada, Mexico and China, leading to increasing trade and political tensions. In response to tariffs, other countries have implemented retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. These actions and the related rising political tensions could negatively impact global macroeconomic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including through increased supply chain costs. There is substantial uncertainty about the duration of existing tariffs or pauses in tariffs, tariff levels and whether additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified or suspended. We continue to closely monitor these events as they unfold and assess their potential impact on our operations to inform our response strategy.
Outlook
Our financial performance and results of operations will depend on future developments and other factors that are highly uncertain, continuously evolving and unpredictable, including the occurrence, spread, severity, duration and emergence of new variants of respiratory diseases, including flu, strep, RSV and COVID-19.
We expect overall demand for our non-respiratory and respiratory products to continue to fluctuate and pricing pressures on certain products to persist as a result of a number of factors, including increased supply, emergence and spread of new variants, and the seasonal demands of the respiratory season, which are typically more prevalent during the fall and winter.
Because our business environment is highly competitive, our long-term growth and profitability will depend in part on our ability to retain and grow our current customers and attract new customers through developing and delivering new and improved products and services that meet our customers’ needs and expectations, including with respect to product performance, product offerings, cost, automation and other work-flow efficiencies. We expect to continue to evaluate strategic opportunities to (i) expand our product lines and services, production capabilities, technologies and geographic footprint and address other business challenges and opportunities, and (ii) rationalize and consolidate facilities with the goal to improve our long-term results.
While we expect the revenues and financial results from our non-respiratory and respiratory products to be affected by the highly competitive environment and our respiratory products to be affected by the seasonal demands of the respiratory season, we intend to continue our focus on prudently managing our business and delivering improved financial results, while at the same time striving to introduce new products and services into the market.
Seasonality
Revenues from our respiratory products are subject to, and significantly affected by, the seasonal demands of the cold, flu and RSV seasons, which are typically more prevalent during the fall and winter. Historically, revenues from our influenza products have varied from year to year based, in large part, on the severity, length and timing of the onset of the cold, flu and RSV seasons. In addition, the SARS-CoV-2 virus may have similar seasonal demands and impacts on our revenues in the future.

Results of Operations
Revenues
The following table compares Total revenues by business unit for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024:
Three Months Ended
(Dollars in millions) March 30, 2025 March 31, 2024 % Change
Labs $ 373.1  $ 356.9  %
Immunohematology (1)
128.5  127.0  %
Donor Screening (1)
12.8  33.3  (62) %
Point of Care 170.8  186.6  (8) %
Molecular Diagnostics 7.6  7.2  %
Total revenues $ 692.8  $ 711.0  (3) %
(1) For presentation purposes, as a result of the wind-down of the U.S. donor screening portfolio, the previously reported Transfusion Medicine business unit is shown in its two product categories: Immunohematology and Donor Screening. Prior periods have been revised to align with the current period presentation.
For the three months ended March 30, 2025, Total revenues decreased to $692.8 million from $711.0 million for the same period in the prior year. Labs revenue increased 5% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to growth in reagents, consumables and services, partially offset by a decline in instrument revenue. Immunohematology revenue increased 1% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to reagent growth. Donor Screening revenue decreased 62% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the wind-down of the U.S. donor screening business. The Point of Care business unit contributed to revenue decline, driven by a decrease of $15.8 million, or 37% in sales of QuickVue SARS Antigen assays. Molecular Diagnostics revenue increased 6% compared to the prior year period, driven by higher Savanna revenue. Currency exchange rates had an unfavorable impact of 150 basis points on our growth rate for the three months ended March 30, 2025.
Cost of Sales, Excluding Amortization of Intangible Assets
Cost of sales, excluding amortization of intangible assets, decreased to $349.5 million, or 50.4% of Total revenues, for the three months ended March 30, 2025, compared to $378.9 million, or 53.3% of Total revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cost of sales, excluding amortization of intangible assets, was driven primarily by procurement-related cost-savings initiatives actioned in 2024.
Operating Expenses
The following table summarizes operating expenses for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024:

Selling, Marketing and Administrative Expenses
Selling, marketing and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 30, 2025 decreased by $17.7 million, or 8.6%, to $187.0 million from $204.7 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to compensation costs related to cost-savings initiatives actioned in 2024.
21


Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense for the three months ended March 30, 2025 decreased by $6.0 million, or 10.1%, to $53.2 million from $59.2 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to compensation costs related to cost-savings initiatives actioned in 2024.
Amortization of Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets was $48.0 million and $51.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Integration Related Costs
Integration related costs were $16.1 million and $22.6 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The decrease in costs compared to the prior year period was primarily due to lower consulting costs and compensation related charges.
Goodwill Impairment Charge
We recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses were $6.4 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Other operating expenses were primarily related to the profit share expense for our Joint Business.
Non-operating Expenses
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net was $40.0 million and $39.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Refer to Item 1, “Financial Statements—Note 7. Borrowings” for more information.
Other Expense, Net
Other expense, net was $1.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 30, 2025, we recognized a provision for income taxes of $3.9 million in relation to loss before income taxes of $8.8 million, resulting in a negative effective tax rate of 44.3%. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized an income tax benefit of $92.9 million in relation to loss before income taxes of $1,798.9 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 5.2%. For the three months ended March 30, 2025, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the impacts of operating losses in certain subsidiaries not being benefited due to the establishment of valuation allowances. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the effective tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to goodwill impairment charges that were nondeductible for tax purposes.

We operate under three geographically-based reportable segments: North America, EMEA and China. Our operations in Latin America and JPAC are immaterial operating segments that are not considered reportable segments and are included in “Other.” In the fourth quarter of 2024, we revised the internal allocation of certain global costs primarily between the North America segment and Corporate to better align costs that impact us as a whole. Prior periods have been revised to align with the current period presentation.
22


The key indicators that we monitor are as follows:
•Total revenues — This measure is discussed in the section entitled “Results of Operations.”
•Adjusted EBITDA — Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment is used by our management to measure and evaluate the internal operating performance of our reportable segments. It is also the basis for calculating certain management incentive compensation programs. We believe that this measurement is useful to investors as a way to analyze the underlying trends in our core business, including at the segment level, consistently across the periods presented and to evaluate performance under management incentive compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA consists of Net loss before Interest expense, net, Provision for (benefit from) income taxes and depreciation and amortization and eliminates (i) certain non-operating income or expense items, and (ii) impacts of certain non-cash, unusual or other items that are included in Net loss and that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Refer to Item 1, “Financial Statements—Note 4. Segment and Geographic Information” for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment to Loss before income taxes.
North America
Total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for North America were as follows:
Three Months Ended
(Dollars in millions) March 30, 2025 March 31, 2024 % Change
Total revenues $ 406.7  $ 433.9  (6) %
Adjusted EBITDA $ 234.3  $ 236.6  (1) %
Total revenues were $406.7 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, compared to $433.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the wind-down of the U.S. donor screening business and a decrease in sales of QuickVue SARS Antigen assays, partially offset by an increase in Labs revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA was $234.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, compared to $236.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in revenue due to the wind-down of the U.S. donor screening business and sales of QuickVue SARS Antigen assays, partially offset by an increase in Labs revenues and lower operating expenses due to cost-savings initiatives.
EMEA
Total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for EMEA were as follows:
Three Months Ended
(Dollars in millions) March 30, 2025 March 31, 2024 % Change
Total revenues $ 88.9  $ 84.8  %
Adjusted EBITDA $ 16.5  $ 11.6  42  %
Total revenues were $88.9 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, compared to $84.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by increases in revenues across most of our business units.
Adjusted EBITDA was $16.5 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, compared to $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by lower operating expenses due to cost-savings initiatives and increases in revenues.
China
Total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for China were as follows:
Three Months Ended
(Dollars in millions) March 30, 2025 March 31, 2024 % Change
Total revenues $ 75.0  $ 76.1  (1) %
Adjusted EBITDA $ 29.3  $ 26.1  12  %
Total revenues were $75.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, compared to $76.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by a decrease in Point of Care revenues, partially offset by an increases in Labs and Donor Screening revenues.
23


Adjusted EBITDA was $29.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, compared to $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the impact from changes in product mix and higher Labs revenues.
Other
Total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for Other were as follows:
Three Months Ended
(Dollars in millions) March 30, 2025 March 31, 2024 % Change
Total revenues $ 122.2  $ 116.2  %
Adjusted EBITDA $ 29.6  $ 31.5  (6) %
Total revenues were $122.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, compared to $116.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in Labs revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA was $29.6 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, compared to $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily driven by higher operating expenses and the impact from changes in product mix.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 30, 2025 and December 29, 2024, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of the following:
(In millions) March 30, 2025 December 29, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents $ 127.1  $ 98.3 
Amount available to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility $ 537.3  $ 589.0 
Working capital including cash and cash equivalents $ 211.0  $ 220.1 
As of March 30, 2025, we had $127.1 million in Cash and cash equivalents, a $28.8 million increase from December 29, 2024. Our cash requirements fluctuate as a result of numerous factors, including cash generated from operations, progress in R&D, capital expansion projects and acquisition and business development activities. We believe our organizational structure allows us the necessary flexibility to move funds throughout our subsidiaries to meet our operational working capital needs.
Debt Capitalization
Our Credit Agreement consists of a $2,750.0 million Term Loan and an $800.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. Availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, after deducting letters of credit of $12.7 million and $250.0 million borrowings outstanding, was $537.3 million as of March 30, 2025.
On April 25, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, by and among us, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. The amendment sets a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the applicable measurement period as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of (a) 4.50 to 1.00 on or prior to June 30, 2023, (b) 4.00 to 1.00 after June 30, 2023 and on or prior to June 30, 2024, (c) 4.25 to 1.00 after June 30, 2024 and on or prior to December 31, 2024, (d) 4.00 to 1.00 after December 31, 2024 and on or prior to June 30, 2025 and (e) 3.75 to 1.00 each fiscal quarter after June 30, 2025. The Credit Agreement contains a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 3.00 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters. We were in compliance with the financial covenants as of March 30, 2025.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures, including investments, were $56.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025. We continue to make capital expenditures in connection with the expansion of our manufacturing capabilities and other facility-related activities.

Cash used for investing activities of $56.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025 was related to purchases of property, plant, equipment, investments and intangibles.
Cash provided by financing activities was $17.6 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025 and was primarily related to net proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility of $52.0 million, partially offset by payments on long-term borrowings of $36.0 million.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Cash used for operating activities was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and reflected a net loss of $1,706.0 million and non-cash adjustments of $1,791.6 million, primarily associated with a goodwill impairment charge and change in deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense. We benefited from collections on accounts receivables, which contributed cash inflows of $26.4 million, offset by other changes in working capital, including $37.7 million cash outflows for inventories.
Cash used for investing activities was $20.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and was primarily related to $66.1 million in purchases of property, plant, equipment, investments and intangibles. We also sold $63.1 million of marketable securities.

Liquidity Outlook
Short-term Liquidity Outlook
Our primary source of liquidity, other than our holdings of Cash and cash equivalents, has been cash flows from operations. Cash generated from operations provides us with the financial flexibility we need to meet normal operating, investing and financing needs. We anticipate that our current Cash and cash equivalents, together with cash provided by operating activities and amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our near-term capital and operating needs for at least the next 12 months.
Normal operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital, R&D and capital expenditures. Our primary short-term needs for capital, which are subject to change, include expenditures related to:
•interest on and repayments of our long-term borrowings and lease obligations;
•acquisitions of property, equipment and other fixed assets in support of our manufacturing facility expansions;
•the continued advancement of R&D efforts;
•our integration of the Ortho business arising from the Combinations;
•support of commercialization efforts related to our current and future products, including support of our direct sales force and field support resources; and
•potential strategic acquisitions and investments.
25


Due to the risks inherent in the product development process, we are unable to estimate with meaningful certainty the costs we will incur in the continued development of our product candidates for commercialization. Our R&D costs may be substantial as we move product candidates into preclinical and clinical trials and advance our existing product candidates into later stages of development.
The primary purposes of our capital expenditures are to invest in manufacturing capacity expansion, acquire certain of our instruments, acquire scientific equipment, purchase or develop IT and implement facility improvements. We plan to fund the capital expenditures with the cash on our balance sheet.
We are focused on expanding the number of instruments placed in the field and solidifying long-term contractual relationships with customers. In order to achieve this goal, in certain jurisdictions where it is permitted, we have leveraged a reagent rental model that has been recognized as more attractive to certain customers. In this model, we lease, rather than sell, instruments to our customers. Over the term of the contract, the purchase price of the instrument is embedded in the price of the assays and reagents. Going forward, we intend to increase the number of reagent rental placements in developed markets, a strategy that we believe is beneficial to our commercial goals because it lowers our customers’ upfront capital costs and therefore allows purchasing decisions to be made at the lab manager level. For these same reasons, the reagent rental model also benefits our commercial strategy in emerging markets, where permitted by law. We believe that the shift in our sales strategy will grow our installed base, thereby increasing sales of higher-margin assays, reagents and other consumables over the life of the customer contracts and enhancing our recurring revenue and cash flows.
Long-term Liquidity Outlook
Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds to service any long-term debt outstanding and to fund working capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on many factors, including:
•our ability to realize revenue growth from our new technologies and create innovative products in our markets;
•outstanding debt and covenant restrictions;
•our ability to leverage our operating expenses to realize operating profits with revenue growth;
•competing technological and market developments; and
•our entry into strategic collaborations with other companies or acquisitions of other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no accounting pronouncements issued or adopted during the three months ended March 30, 2025 that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Our critical accounting estimates are those that significantly affect our financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of this uncertainty, actual results may vary from these estimates.
A comprehensive discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 30, 2025.
ITEM 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no material change in our exposure to market risk from that described in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report.
ITEM 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: We have performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 30, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that was previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report.
26


Notwithstanding the material weakness, we have concluded that the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report are fairly stated in all material respects in accordance with GAAP for each of the periods presented.
Ongoing remediation efforts to address the previously identified material weaknesses: With respect to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that was previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report, management, under the oversight of the Audit Committee, is in the process of designing appropriate controls to address these material weaknesses. While we have taken steps to implement our remediation plan, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the enhanced controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the related controls are effective. The Company will monitor the effectiveness of its remediation plan and refine its remediation plan as appropriate.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting: There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

3.Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Committee.

No member of the Board or Committee, and no officer of the Company to whom the Committee delegates any of its power and authority hereunder, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in connection with this Plan in good faith.

4.Bonus Deferrals.

(a)Eligibility. Each Eligible Employee shall be eligible to participate in this Plan and to make the elections provided under Sections 4(b) and 4(c). Any amounts deferred in accordance with this Section 4 shall be credited to the Participant’s Account in the form of RSUs as set forth in Sections 5(a) and 5(b).

(b)Bonus Deferral Election. Prior to the commencement of each fiscal year, an Eligible Employee may elect to defer 50% or 100% of the Bonus he or she will earn during that fiscal year (net of any applicable withholding taxes or other authorized deductions to the extent required so that such applicable withholding taxes or other authorized deductions shall be satisfied from the Bonus) by completing and submitting a written election form, in the form approved by the Committee, to the Human Resources Department. With respect to a Bonus that qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section 409A of the Code, such election must be made no less than 6 months before the end of the applicable Bonus performance period. After the date specified in the election form, Participants’ elections will be irrevocable. If an Eligible Employee does not make a timely election for an upcoming fiscal year, no Bonus deferral will be made on behalf of that Eligible Employee for that upcoming fiscal year.

(c)Deferral Period Election. If an Eligible Employee elects to defer his or her Bonus in accordance with Section 4(b), to be a valid election, the Eligible Employee must also elect one of the following deferral periods (the “Deferral Period”) in the written election form:

(i)One (1) year from the applicable Grant Date (as defined below);

(ii)Two (2) years from the applicable Grant Date; or

(iii)Four (4) years from the applicable Grant Date.

(d)Grant and Vesting of Converted RSUs. With respect to the deferred portion of a Participant’s Bonus, in lieu of cash, on the Grant Date, the Participant will receive a grant of RSUs under the Stock Plan that will vest in full on the Grant Date (the “Converted RSUs”). The number of Converted RSUs to be granted in respect of a Bonus shall be equal to the result of dividing the amount deferred by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the applicable Grant Date (rounded down to the nearest whole number).

(e)Grant and Vesting of Premium RSUs. In addition, on the Grant Date, a Participant will also receive a grant of additional RSUs under the Stock Plan that will vest in full on the first anniversary of the applicable Grant Date, or such other date as specified in the applicable election form and grant
3


notice evidencing the grant of such RSUs, subject to the Participant’s continued service through such date (the “Premium RSUs”). Notwithstanding the foregoing vesting requirement, the vesting of Premium RSUs shall accelerate in full upon a Change in Control (as defined in the Stock Plan), subject to the Participant’s continued service through to the date of such Change in Control. The number of Premium RSUs to be granted shall be determined based on the Deferral Period elected by the Participant as follows: (i) if one (1) year from the Grant Date, a premium of 10% on the amount deferred of the Bonus; (ii) if two (2) years from the Grant Date, a premium of 20% on the amount deferred of the Bonus; or (iii) if four (4) years from the Grant Date, a premium of 30% on the amount deferred of the Bonus. The number of Premium RSUs to be granted shall be equal to the result of dividing such premium amount by the Fair Market Value of one Share on the applicable Grant Date (rounded down to the nearest whole number).

5.Account.

(a)Crediting Converted RSUs to Participants’ Accounts. Converted RSUs will vest in full and will be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date any Bonus under the applicable Global Bonus Plan is paid (or would otherwise be paid if 100% deferral is elected) to the Participant. Such date shall be considered the “Grant Date” for purposes of any Converted RSUs and Premium RSUs.

(b)Crediting Premium RSUs to Participants’ Accounts. Premium RSUs will be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date the Premium RSUs are vested pursuant to Section 4(e) (i.e., upon the first anniversary of the applicable Grant Date, or such other date as specified in the applicable election form and grant notice evidencing the grant of such RSUs). Any Premium RSUs that do not become vested shall be forfeited.

(c)Cash Dividends. Whenever any cash dividends are declared on the Shares, the Company will credit the Account of each Participant on the date such dividend is paid with a number of additional RSUs equal to the result of dividing (i) the product of (x) the total number of RSUs credited to the Participant’s Account on the record date for such dividend and (y) the per Share amount of such dividend by (ii) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date such dividend is paid by the Company to the holders of Shares.

(d)Capitalization Adjustments. In the event of (i) any change in the Shares through a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise, (ii) a stock dividend, or (iii) a stock split, combination or other changes to the Shares, all as described in Section 3.4 of the Stock Plan, the RSUs granted to each Participant shall be increased or decreased proportionately in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Stock Plan.

6.Issuance of Shares. Converted RSUs and Premium RSUs shall be granted under the Stock Plan and shall be considered “Restricted Stock Units” granted pursuant to Section 6.10 of the Stock Plan. Issuance of the Shares underlying the RSUs credited to the Participant’s Account shall be made to the Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, to the Participant’s beneficiary, as provided in Section 8) upon the earlier to occur of (i) the end of the Deferral Period elected by the Participant, (ii) a Change in Control or (iii) a Participant’s Separation from Service. For avoidance of doubt, Converted RSUs and Premium RSUs will only be credited to a Participant’s Account upon vesting.

(a)Distribution upon Death. If a Participant incurs a Separation from Service due to death or his or her death occurs after Separation from Service but before issuance to him or her of the Shares
4


underlying the RSUs credited to his or her Account, then all or the remaining RSUs credited to his or her Account shall be released and the Shares underlying these RSUs shall be issued to such Participant’s beneficiaries within 30 days following the date of death.

(b)Delayed Distribution to Specified Employees. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6 to the contrary, an issuance of Shares scheduled to be made to a Participant upon his or her Separation from Service who is identified as a Specified Employee as of the date such Participant Separates from Service shall be delayed for a minimum of six months following the Participant’s Separation from Service. Any issuance of Shares that otherwise would have been made pursuant to this Section 6 during the six-month period following the Participant’s Separation from Service shall be made as soon as administratively practicable, but not later than 90 days after the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service. The identification of a Participant as a Specified Employee shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion in accordance with the terms of this Plan and Sections 416(i) and 409A of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

7.Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Change in Control that constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets under Section 409A, the Shares underlying the RSUs credited to the Account of each Participant shall be converted into shares of the successor entity in accordance with the terms of the Stock Plan or, if elected by the Board, shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum in cash.

8.Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant shall have the right, at any time, to designate any person or persons as his beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom issuance of Shares under this Plan shall be made in the event of his or her death. Any beneficiary designation may be made or changed by a Participant by a written instrument, in such form prescribed by the Company, which is filed with the Company prior to the Participant’s death. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if all designated beneficiaries predecease the Participant, the Shares underlying the RSUs credited to the Participant’s Account shall be issued to the Participant’s estate.

9.Withholding. The Company will deduct from Plan distributions, or from other compensation payable to a Participant or beneficiary, amounts required by law to be withheld for taxes with respect to benefits under this Plan. The Company reserves the right to reduce any deferral or contribution that would otherwise be made under this Plan on behalf of a Participant by a reasonable amount, and to use all or a portion of this reduction to satisfy the Participant’s tax liabilities under this Section 9.

10.Amendment and Termination. The Committee may amend or terminate this Plan at any time in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment or termination shall reduce the RSUs credited to a Participant’s Account (except in the case of any adjustments in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Stock Plan) or adversely affect the rights of a Participant to such RSUs, without the consent of the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary in the event of the Participant’s death). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan may be amended at any time, without the consent of any Participant (or beneficiary) if necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements, or avoid the application, of Section 409A.

11.General Provisions.

(a)Unfunded Plan. The Company’s obligation to grant RSUs and issue Shares under this Plan shall be contractual only and all such grants and issuances hereunder shall be made by the Company from its general assets at the time and in the manner provided for in this Plan. No funds, securities or
5


other property of any nature shall be segregated or earmarked for any current or former Participant, beneficiary or other person, and his or her sole right is as a general creditor of the Company with an unsecured claim against its general assets.

(b)Non-Alienation of Benefits. Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any rights to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, or otherwise encumber the RSUs granted under this Plan to the Participant or any other person. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer or pledge shall be null and void and without any legal effect. No part of the RSUs granted under this Plan shall be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

(c)Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, this Plan will be construed, administered or deemed amended as necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 409A to avoid taxation under Section 409A to the extent Section 409A applies to this Plan. Each benefit hereunder shall constitute a “separately identified” amount within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §1.409-2(b)(2). The Committee, in its sole discretion shall determine the requirements of Section 409A that are applicable to this Plan and shall interpret the terms of this Plan in a manner consistent therewith. Under no circumstances, however, shall the Company or any affiliate or any of its or their employees, officers, directors, service providers or agents have any liability to any person for any taxes, penalties or interest due on the Shares issued or issuable under this Plan, including any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Section 409A.

(d)No Stockholder Rights. Neither the Participant nor any other person shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the RSUs credited to the Participant’s Account until the Shares underlying the RSUs are issued to the Participant (or the beneficiary of the Participant).

(e)Clawback. This Plan, and any grant of RSUs or issuance of Shares to any Participant made hereunder, is subject to the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Clawback Policy, any other clawback policy of the Company and any applicable legislation (e.g., Dodd-Frank), in each case as may be amended from time to time.

(f)Severability. If any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Plan, and this Plan shall be enforced as if the invalid provisions had never been set forth herein.

(g)Successors in Interest. The obligation of the Company under this Plan shall be binding upon any successor(s) of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise, and for this purpose reference herein to the Company shall be deemed to include any such successor(s).

(h)Governing Law; Interpretation. To the extent not governed by Federal law, this Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.
