On July 30, 2020 Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (“Mettler-Toledo”) issued a press release (the “Release”) setting forth its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. A copy of the Release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Mettler-Toledo supplements its U.S. GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures. The principal non-GAAP financial measures Mettler-Toledo uses are Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Local Currency Sales Growth.

Adjusted Earnings per Share

Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Earnings per Share as diluted earnings per common share excluding certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangible assets, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is diluted earnings per common share.

Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Earnings per Share is important supplemental information for investors. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax, which management believes are not directly related to current and ongoing operations thereby providing investors with information that helps to compare ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted Earnings per Share is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Earnings per Share is not intended to represent diluted earnings per common share under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to diluted earnings per common share as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share

Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Earnings per Share, has certain material limitations as follows:

It does not include certain non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization expense of purchased intangibles, net of tax, restructuring charges, net of tax and certain other one-time charges, net of tax. Because non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges and certain other one-time charges are components of diluted earnings per share under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes non-recurring discrete tax items, amortization of purchased intangibles, restructuring charges and certain other one-time charges, has material limitations.

2

Adjusted Operating Profit

Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Operating Profit as gross profit less research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses before amortization, interest, restructuring charges and other charges (income), net and taxes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is earnings before taxes.

Mettler-Toledo believes that Adjusted Operating Profit is important supplemental information for investors. Adjusted Operating Profit is used internally as the principal profit measurement by its segments in their reporting to management. Mettler-Toledo uses this measure because it excludes amortization, interest, restructuring charges and other charges (income), net and taxes, which are not allocated to the segments.

On a consolidated basis, Mettler-Toledo also believes Adjusted Operating Profit is an important supplemental method of measuring profitability. It is used internally by senior management for measuring profitability and setting performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of publicly providing guidance on possible future results. Mettler-Toledo also believes that Adjusted Operating Profit is an important performance measure because it provides a measure of comparability to other companies with different capital or legal structures, which accordingly may be subject to disparate interest rates and effective tax rates, and to companies which may incur different amortization expenses or impairment charges related to intangible assets.

Adjusted Operating Profit is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Operating Profit is not intended to represent operating income under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings before taxes as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Profit

Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Operating Profit, has certain material limitations as follows:

• It excludes amortization expense. Because this item is recurring, any measure that excludes amortization expense has material limitations.
• It does not include interest expense. Because Mettler-Toledo has borrowed money to finance some of its operations, interest is a necessary and ongoing part of its costs and has assisted Mettler-Toledo in generating revenue. Therefore any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.
• It excludes restructuring charges. Because restructuring charges are a component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes restructuring charges, has material limitations.
• It excludes other charges (income), net. Because other charges (income), net is a component of operating income under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes other charges (income), net, has material limitations.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Mettler-Toledo defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities including proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment, less capital expenditures, and before restructuring, acquisition cost, and Transition Tax payments. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by operating activities.

3

Mettler-Toledo believes Adjusted Free Cash Flow is important supplemental information for investors. It is used internally by senior management for measuring operating cash flow generation and setting performance targets for managers, and has historically been used as one of the means of providing guidance on possible future cash flows.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent net cash provided by operating activities recorded under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, has certain material limitations as follows:

• It includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and purchases of property, plant and equipment, which are not considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. Therefore any measure that includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and purchases of property, plant and equipment has material limitations.
• It excludes restructuring, acquisition cost, and Transition Tax payments, which are considered to be components of net cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP. Therefore any measure that excludes these items has material limitations.

Local Currency Sales Growth

Mettler-Toledo defines Local Currency Sales Growth as sales growth excluding the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations that result from translating activity outside of the United States into U.S. dollars. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is U.S. dollar sales growth.

Mettler-Toledo believes that Local Currency Sales Growth is important supplemental information for investors. Mettler-Toledo believes local currency information provides a helpful assessment of business performance and a useful measure of results between periods.

Local Currency Sales Growth is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Local Currency Sales Growth is not intended to represent U.S. dollar sales growth under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to U.S. dollar sales growth as an indicator of Mettler-Toledo’s performance because of the following limitations.

Limitations of Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Local Currency Sales Growth

Mettler-Toledo’s non-GAAP measure, Local Currency Sales Growth, has certain material limitations as follows:

It does not include the effect of currency exchange rate fluctuations that result from translating activity outside of the United States into U.S. dollars. Because the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates is a component of U.S. dollar sales growth under U.S. GAAP, any measure that excludes the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, has material limitations.

4

Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth should not be relied upon to the exclusion of U.S. GAAP financial measures, but reflect additional measures of comparability and means of viewing aspects of Mettler-Toledo’s operations that, when viewed together with its U.S. GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to net earnings, net cash provided by operating activities and diluted earnings per share, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

Because Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Local Currency Sales Growth are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The Release provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Earnings per Share, Adjusted Operating Profit and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to the most comparable financial measures recorded under U.S. GAAP. The Release also presents Local Currency Sales Growth in conjunction with its most comparable financial measure recorded under U.S. GAAP.

--- ---

Second Quarter Results

Olivier Filliol, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Demand in our end markets was negatively impacted by COVID-19; however, our sales decline was more modest than expected. Good growth in China and the resiliency and diversity of our Laboratory and Industrial businesses contributed to our better-than-expected performance. We are pleased with positive growth in Adjusted EPS and strong cash flow generation in the quarter given the challenges of the current environment."

GAAP Results

EPS in the quarter was $5.22, compared with the prior-year amount of $5.06.

Compared with the prior year, total reported sales decreased 6% to $690.7 million. By region, reported sales decreased 8% in the Americas, 6% in Europe and 2% in Asia/Rest of World. Earnings before taxes amounted to $155.3 million, compared with $155.2 million in the prior year.

Non-GAAP Results

Adjusted EPS was $5.29, an increase of 3% over the prior-year amount of $5.16.

Compared with the prior year, total sales in local currency decreased 4% as currency reduced reported sales growth by 2%. By region, local currency sales decreased 7% in the Americas and 5% in Europe and increased 1% in Asia/Rest of World. Adjusted Operating Profit amounted to $176.6 million, a 1% decline from the prior-year amount of $177.7 million.

Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Operating Profit are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the attached schedules.

Six Month Results

GAAP Results

EPS was $9.25, compared with the prior-year amount of $9.48.

Compared with the prior year, total reported sales decreased 5% to $1.340 billion. By region, reported sales decreased 3% in the Americas, 7% in Europe and 6% in Asia/Rest of World. Earnings before taxes amounted to $273.8 million, compared with $280.9 million in the prior year.

-1-

Compared with the prior year, total sales in local currency decreased 3% as currency reduced reported sales by 2%. By region, local currency sales decreased 2% in the Americas, 5% in Europe and 3% in Asia/Rest of World. Adjusted Operating Profit amounted to $317.9 million, a 2% decrease from the prior-year amount of $325.6 million.

Adjusted EPS and Adjusted Operating Profit are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the attached schedules.

Outlook

The Company stated that forecasting continues to be challenging given the significant uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and ensuing impact to the global economic environment. While the Company is providing an estimate for sales growth and Adjusted EPS for 2020, management cautions that market dynamics and impacts related to COVID-19 are fluid and changes to the business environment can happen quickly. The estimates for the third quarter and full year 2020 include significant uncertainty and management acknowledges that market conditions are subject to change.

For the third quarter 2020, based on management's current estimate of market conditions, the Company estimates that local currency sales will decline approximately -1% to -3%, and Adjusted EPS is forecasted to be in the range of $5.80 to $6.00.

For the full year 2020, the Company estimates that local currency sales will decline approximately -1% to -3%, and Adjusted EPS is forecasted to be in the range of $22.70 to $23.20.

While the Company has provided an outlook for local currency sales growth and Adjusted EPS, it has not provided an outlook for reported sales growth or EPS as it would require an estimate of currency exchange fluctuations and non-recurring items, which are not yet known.

Conclusion

Filliol concluded, "We quickly adapted our operating model to the challenges of COVID-19 with priority placed on the safety and well-being of our employees while continuing to provide leading-edge instruments and services to our customers. Overall demand in our end markets continues to be negatively impacted by COVID-19. While the majority of our sales are to essential end markets including life sciences and food manufacturing, we also benefit from significant diversification in our product offering. We believe we are continuing to gain share despite the environment and will be strongly positioned to capture growth as our end markets recover."
