Note 1.    Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (the company or Thermo Fisher) enables customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer by helping them accelerate life sciences research, solve complex analytical challenges, increase laboratory productivity, and improve patient health through diagnostics and the development and manufacture of life-changing therapies. Markets served include pharmaceutical and biotech, academic and government, industrial and applied, as well as healthcare and diagnostics.

Interim Financial Statements

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the company, are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at July 1, 2023, the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022, and the cash flows for the six-month periods ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain all information that is included in the annual financial statements and notes thereto of the company. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the 2022 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for 2022 describes the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes in the company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended July 1, 2023.

Inventories

The components of inventories are as follows:

(In millions)	July 1, 2023		December 31, 2022
Raw materials	$	2,368	$	2,405
Work in process	760		660
Finished goods	2,527		2,569
Inventories	$	5,655	$	5,634

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

The company’s estimates include, among others, asset reserve requirements as well as the amounts of future cash flows associated with certain assets and businesses that are used in assessing the risk of impairment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the FASB issued new guidance to require entities to disclose information about supplier finance programs. Among other things, the new guidance requires expanded disclosure about key program terms, payment terms, and amounts outstanding for obligations under these programs for each period presented. The company adopted some aspects of this guidance in 2023 using a retrospective method and will adopt other aspects in 2024 using a prospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have, and is not expected to have, a material impact on the company’s disclosures; however, the impact in future periods will be dependent on the extent of arrangements of this nature entered into by the company.

In November 2021, the FASB issued new guidance to require entities to disclose information about certain types of government assistance they receive, including cash grants and tax credits. Among other things, the new guidance requires expanded disclosure regarding the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the nature, amount, timing, and significant terms and conditions of transactions with a government arising from a grant or other forms of assistance accounted for under a contribution model. The company adopted this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2022 using a prospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s disclosures.

Note 2.    Acquisitions

The company’s acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the determined fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill, primarily due to expectations of the synergies that will be realized by combining the businesses and the benefits that will be gained from the assembled workforces. These synergies include the elimination of redundant facilities, functions and staffing; use of the company’s existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired businesses’ products and services; and use of the commercial infrastructure of the acquired businesses to cost-effectively expand sales of company products and services.

Acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and the acquired companies’ results have been included in the accompanying financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

2023

On January 3, 2023, the company acquired, within the Specialty Diagnostics segment, The Binding Site Group, a U.K.-based provider of specialty diagnostic assays and instruments to improve the diagnosis and management of blood cancers and immune system disorders. The acquisition expands the segment’s portfolio with the addition of pioneering innovation in diagnostics and monitoring for multiple myeloma. The goodwill recorded as a result of this business combination is not tax deductible.

The components of the purchase price and net assets acquired are as follows:

(In millions)	The Binding Site
Purchase price
Cash paid	$	2,412
Debt settled	307
Cash acquired	(20)
	$	2,699
Net assets acquired
Definite-lived intangible assets:
Customer relationships	$	868
Product technology	172
Tradenames	42
Goodwill	1,755
Net tangible assets	141
Deferred tax assets (liabilities)	(279)
	$	2,699

In addition, in 2023, the company acquired, within the Analytical Instruments segment, a U.S.-based developer of Raman-based spectroscopy solutions for in-line measurement.

The weighted-average amortization period for definite-lived intangible assets acquired in 2023 are 18 years for customer relationships, 14 years for product technology and 15 years for tradenames. The weighted average amortization period for all definite-lived intangible assets acquired in 2023 is 17 years.

Pending Acquisition

The company has entered into an agreement to acquire CorEvitas, LLC for approximately $0.91 billion in cash. CorEvitas provides regulatory-grade, real-world evidence for approved medical treatments and therapies. The transaction, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Upon completion, CorEvitas will become part of the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services segment.

The company has operations and a taxable presence in approximately 70 countries outside the U.S. The company's effective income tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate each year due to certain operations that are subject to tax incentives, state and local taxes, and foreign taxes that are different than the U.S. federal statutory rate.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

As of July 1, 2023 the company had $0.56 billion of unrecognized tax benefits substantially all of which, if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

SOFR - Secured Overnight Financing Rate

EURIBOR - Euro Interbank Offered Rate

The effective interest rates for the fixed-rate debt include the stated interest on the notes, the accretion of any discounts/premiums and the amortization of any debt issuance costs.

See Note 10 for fair value information pertaining to the company’s long-term borrowings.

Credit Facilities

The company has a revolving credit facility (the Facility) with a bank group that provides for up to $5.00 billion of unsecured multi-currency revolving credit. The Facility expires on January 7, 2027. The revolving credit agreement calls for interest at either a Term SOFR, a EURIBOR-based rate (for funds drawn in euro) or a rate based on the prime lending rate of the agent bank, at the company’s option. The agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The covenants in the Facility include a Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio (Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Net Interest Expense), as such terms are defined in the Facility. Specifically, the company has agreed that, so long as any lender has any commitment under the Facility, any letter of credit is outstanding under the Facility, or any loan or other obligation is outstanding under the Facility, it will maintain a minimum Consolidated Net Interest Coverage Ratio of 3.5:1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. As of July 1, 2023, no borrowings were outstanding under the Facility, although available capacity was reduced by immaterial outstanding letters of credit.

Commercial Paper Programs

The company has commercial paper programs pursuant to which it may issue and sell unsecured, short-term promissory notes (CP Notes). Under the U.S. program, a) maturities may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue and b) the CP Notes are issued on a private placement basis under customary terms in the commercial paper market and are not redeemable prior to maturity nor subject to voluntary prepayment. Under the euro program, maturities may not exceed 183 days and may be denominated in euro, U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, British pounds sterling, Swiss franc, Canadian dollars or other currencies. Under both programs, the CP Notes are issued at a discount from par (or premium to par, in the case of negative interest rates), or, alternatively, are sold at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis.

Senior Notes

Interest is payable quarterly on the floating rate senior notes, annually on the euro-denominated fixed rate senior notes and semi-annually on all other senior notes. Each of the U.S. dollar and euro-denominated fixed rate senior notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus a specified make-whole premium and accrued interest. Except for the euro-denominated floating rate senior notes, which may not be redeemed early, the floating rate senior notes may be redeemed in whole or in part on or after their applicable call dates at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. The company is subject to certain affirmative and negative covenants under the indentures governing the senior notes, the most restrictive of which limits the ability of the company to pledge principal properties as security under borrowing arrangements. The company was in compliance with all covenants at July 1, 2023.

In the first quarter of 2022, the company redeemed all of its 3.650% Senior Notes due 2025. In connection with the redemption, the company incurred $26 million of losses on the early extinguishment of debt included in other income/(expense) on the accompanying statements of income.

Note 8.    Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

The company is currently involved in various stages of investigation and remediation related to environmental matters. The company cannot predict all potential costs related to environmental remediation matters and the possible impact on future operations given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the complexity and interpretation of applicable laws and regulations, the varying costs of alternative cleanup methods and the extent of the company’s responsibility. Expenses for environmental remediation matters related to the costs of installing, operating and maintaining groundwater-treatment systems and other remedial activities related to historical environmental contamination at the company’s domestic and international facilities were not material in any period presented. At July 1, 2023, there have been no material changes to the accruals for pending environmental-related matters disclosed in the company’s 2022 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. While management believes the accruals for environmental remediation are adequate based on current estimates of remediation costs, the company may be subject to additional remedial or compliance costs due to future events such as changes in existing laws and regulations, changes in agency direction or enforcement policies, developments in remediation technologies or changes in the conduct of the company’s operations, which could have a material adverse effect on the company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Litigation and Related Contingencies

The company is involved in various disputes, governmental and/or regulatory inspections, inquiries, investigations and proceedings, and litigation matters that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The disputes and litigation matters include product liability, intellectual property, employment and commercial issues. Due to the inherent uncertainties associated with pending litigation or claims, the company cannot predict the outcome, nor, with respect to certain pending litigation or claims where no liability has been accrued, make a meaningful estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome. The company has no material accruals for pending litigation or claims for which accrual amounts are not disclosed in the company’s 2022 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, nor are material losses deemed probable for such matters. It is reasonably possible, however, that an unfavorable outcome that exceeds the company’s current accrual estimate, if any, for one or more such matters could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Product Liability, Workers Compensation and Other Personal Injury Matters

The company is involved in various proceedings and litigation that arise from time to time in connection with product liability, workers compensation and other personal injury matters. At July 1, 2023, there have been no material changes to the accruals for pending product liability, workers compensation, and other personal injury matters disclosed in the company’s 2022 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although the company believes that the amounts accrued and estimated insurance recoveries are probable and appropriate based on available information, including actuarial studies of loss estimates, the process of estimating losses and insurance recoveries involves a considerable degree of judgment by management and the ultimate amounts could vary, which could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Insurance contracts do not relieve the company of its primary obligation with respect to any losses incurred. The collectability of amounts due from its insurers is subject to the solvency and willingness of the insurer to pay, as well as the legal sufficiency of the insurance claims. Management monitors the payment history as well as the financial condition and ratings of its insurers on an ongoing basis.

The company uses the Black-Scholes model to value its warrants. The company determines the fair value of its insurance contracts by obtaining the cash surrender value of the contracts from the issuer. The fair value of derivative contracts is the estimated amount that the company would receive/pay upon liquidation of the contracts, taking into account the change in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The company initially measures the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration based on amounts expected to be transferred (probability-weighted) discounted to present value.

Gains and losses recognized on currency exchange contracts are included in the accompanying statements of income together with the corresponding, offsetting losses and gains on the underlying hedged transactions.

The company uses foreign currency-denominated debt, certain foreign currency-denominated payables, and cross-currency interest rate swaps to partially hedge its net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. A portion of the company’s euro-denominated senior notes, certain foreign currency-denominated payables, and its cross-currency interest rate swaps have been designated as, and are effective as, economic hedges of part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Accordingly, foreign currency transaction gains or losses due to spot rate fluctuations on the euro-denominated debt instruments and certain foreign currency-denominated payables, and contract fair value changes on the cross-currency interest rate swaps, excluding interest accruals, are included in currency translation adjustment within other comprehensive items and shareholders’ equity.

Since 2020, the Life Sciences Solutions and Specialty Diagnostics segments as well as the laboratory products business have supported COVID-19 diagnostic testing, scaling and evolving their molecular diagnostics solutions and plastic consumables businesses to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The biosciences and bioproduction businesses have expanded their capacity to meet the needs of pharma and biotech customers as they have expanded their own production volumes to meet global vaccine manufacturing requirements. Additionally, our pharma services business has provided our pharma and biotech customers with the services they needed to develop and produce vaccines and therapies globally. These positive impacts are expected to continue at much lower levels in 2023 as customer testing as well as therapy and vaccine demand declines. Sales of products related to COVID-19 testing were $0.08 billion and $0.63 billion in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $0.22 billion and $2.31 billion in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2023, growth was flat from pharma and biotech customers driven by lower demand associated with COVID-19 vaccine and therapies, the impact on customers from a more challenging macroeconomic environment and the slow economic recovery in China. We saw very strong growth across the academic and government market with great customer adoption of our high-impact innovation. The industrial and applied market grew slightly, driven by continued strong demand for our analytical instruments serving our semiconductor and materials science customers, partially offset by the impact of a slow economic recovery in China. The diagnostics and healthcare market declined due to decreased demand for COVID-19 testing products. During the second quarter of 2023, sales growth in North America and Asia Pacific declined, while Europe grew slightly. Sales growth in all regions was impacted by decreased demand in 2023 for COVID-19 related products and the impact on customers from a more challenging macroeconomic environment. Asia Pacific was impacted by the slow economic recovery in China. Contributions to organic revenue during the second quarter of 2023 from the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services and Analytical Instruments segments were more than offset by declines in the Life Sciences Solutions and Specialty Diagnostics segments.

During the first six months of 2023, we saw good demand from pharma and biotech customers driven by our trusted partner status, partially offset by the impact on customers from a more challenging macroeconomic environment. We saw broad based strength across the academic and government market. The industrial and applied market was strong, driven by continued strong demand for our analytical instruments serving our semiconductor and materials science customers. The diagnostics and healthcare market declined due to decreased demand for COVID-19 testing products. During the first six months of 2023, sales growth in all major regions declined due to decreased demand for COVID-19 related products. Contributions to organic revenue during the first six months of 2023 from the Laboratory Products and Biopharma Services and Analytical Instruments segments were more than offset by declines in the Life Sciences Solutions and Specialty Diagnostics segments.

The company continues to execute its proven growth strategy which consists of three pillars:

•High-impact innovation,

•Our trusted partner status with customers, and

•Our unparalleled commercial engine.

GAAP operating income margin and adjusted operating income margin decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 due primarily to lower COVID-19 related revenue, strategic growth investments and effects of currency translation. This was partially offset by strong productivity improvements and strong pricing realization across all segments to address higher inflation. GAAP operating income margin in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 was also impacted by restructuring and other charges incurred for headcount reductions and facility consolidations in an effort to streamline operations and limit the impact of expected lower revenue (Note 9).

The company’s references to strategic growth investments generally refer to targeted spending for enhancing commercial capabilities, including expansion of geographic sales reach and e-commerce platforms, marketing initiatives, expanded service and operational infrastructure, research and development projects and other expenditures to enhance the customer experience, as well as incentive compensation and recognition for employees. The company’s references throughout this discussion to productivity improvements generally refer to improved cost efficiencies from its Practical Process Improvement (PPI) business system including reduced costs resulting from implementing continuous improvement methodologies, global sourcing

initiatives, a lower cost structure following restructuring actions including headcount reductions and consolidation of facilities, and low cost region manufacturing.

Notable Recent Acquisitions

On January 3, 2023, the company acquired, within the Specialty Diagnostics segment, The Binding Site Group, a U.K.-based provider of specialty diagnostic assays and instruments to improve the diagnosis and management of blood cancers and immune system disorders. The acquisition expands the segment’s portfolio with the addition of pioneering innovation in diagnostics and monitoring for multiple myeloma.

The decrease in organic revenues in the second quarter of 2023 was primarily due to moderation in COVID-19 related revenue and, to a lesser extent, the impact on customers from a more challenging macroeconomic environment. The decrease in segment income margin resulted primarily from significantly lower COVID-19 related revenue and business mix. These decreases were partially offset by very strong productivity improvements.

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) increased due primarily to the company’s capital deployment initiatives, which included financing stock buybacks and the acquisition of The Binding Site Group (Note 2). See additional discussion under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

GAAP other income/(expense) and adjusted other income/(expense) includes currency transaction gains, losses on non-operating monetary assets and liabilities, and net periodic pension benefit cost/income, excluding the service cost component. GAAP other income/(expense) in the first six months of 2023 also includes $43 million of net losses on investments. GAAP other income/(expense) in the second quarter and first six months of 2022 also includes $18 million and $(123) million, respectively, of net gains/(losses) on investments. GAAP other income/expense in the first six months of 2022 also includes $26 million of losses on the early extinguishment of debt (Note 7).

The company’s GAAP and adjusted tax rates decreased in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to tax planning initiatives, including a tax benefit of $91 million, net of related tax expenses, from a foreign exchange loss on an intercompany debt refinancing transaction in the second quarter of 2023, as well as a $144 million tax benefit resulting from a capital loss generated in the first quarter of 2023 as part of an intra-entity transaction. The GAAP and adjusted tax rates in 2023 were also impacted, to a lesser extent, by a decrease in pre-tax earnings compared to 2022. The company’s GAAP and adjusted tax rates in 2022 were impacted by releases of valuation allowances of $88 million and $175 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, in jurisdictions where the deferred tax assets are now expected to be realized.

The effective tax rates in both 2023 and 2022 were also affected by relatively significant earnings in lower tax jurisdictions. Due primarily to the non-deductibility of intangible asset amortization for tax purposes, the company’s cash payments for income taxes are higher than its income tax expense for financial reporting purposes and are expected to total approximately $1.40 billion in 2023.

THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.

The company expects its GAAP effective tax rate in 2023 will be between 5% and 7% based on currently forecasted rates of profitability in the countries in which the company conducts business and expected generation of foreign tax credits. The effective tax rate can vary significantly from period to period as a result of discrete income tax factors and events. The company expects its adjusted tax rate will be approximately 10% in 2023.

The company has operations and a taxable presence in approximately 70 countries outside the U.S. Some of these countries have lower tax rates than the U.S. The company’s ability to obtain a benefit from lower tax rates outside the U.S. is dependent on its relative levels of income in countries outside the U.S. and on the statutory tax rates in those countries. Based on the dispersion of the company’s non-U.S. income tax provision among many countries, the company believes that a change in the statutory tax rate in any individual country is not likely to materially affect the company’s income tax provision or net income, aside from any resulting one-time adjustment to the company’s deferred tax balances to reflect a new rate.

Weighted average diluted shares decreased in 2023 compared to 2022 due to share repurchases, net of option dilution.

The company’s proven growth strategy has enabled it to generate free cash flow as well as access the capital markets. The company deploys its capital primarily via mergers and acquisitions and secondarily via share buybacks and dividends.

(In millions)	July 1, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents	$	3,133	$	8,524
Total debt	34,008		34,488

Approximately half of the company’s cash balances and cash flows from operations are from outside the U.S. The company uses its non-U.S. cash for needs outside of the U.S. including acquisitions, capacity expansion, and repayment of third-party foreign debt by foreign subsidiaries. In addition, the company also transfers cash to the U.S. using non-taxable returns of capital as well as dividends where the related U.S. dividend received deduction or foreign tax credit equals any tax cost arising from the dividends. As a result of using such means of transferring cash to the U.S., the company does not expect any material adverse liquidity effects from its significant non-U.S. cash balances for the foreseeable future.

The company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents and its future cash flow from operations together with available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements of its existing businesses for the foreseeable future, including at least the next 24 months.

As of July 1, 2023, the company’s short-term debt totaled $4.81 billion. The company has a revolving credit facility with a bank group that provides up to $5.00 billion of unsecured multi-currency revolving credit (Note 7). If the company borrows under this facility, it intends to leave undrawn an amount equivalent to outstanding commercial paper to provide a source of funds in the event that commercial paper markets are not available. As of July 1, 2023, no borrowings were outstanding under the company’s revolving credit facility, although available capacity was reduced by immaterial outstanding letters of credit.

Operating Activities

During the first six months of 2023, cash provided by income was offset in part by investments in working capital. Changes in other assets and other liabilities used cash of $1.50 billion primarily due to the timing of payments for compensation and income taxes. A decrease in accounts payable used cash of $0.87 billion. Cash payments for income taxes were $0.78 billion during the first six months of 2023.

During the first six months of 2022, cash provided by income was offset in part by investments in working capital. An increase in inventories used cash of $0.87 billion, primarily to support growth in sales. Changes in other assets and other liabilities used cash of $0.74 billion primarily due to the timing of payments for compensation. Cash payments for income taxes were $0.83 billion during the first six months of 2022.

THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.

Investing Activities

During the first six months of 2023, acquisitions used cash of $2.75 billion. The company’s investing activities also included purchases of $0.74 billion of property, plant and equipment for capacity and capability investments.

During the first six months of 2022, acquisitions used cash of $0.04 billion. The company’s investing activities also included purchases of $1.15 billion of property, plant and equipment for capacity and capability investments.

The company expects that for all of 2023, expenditures for property, plant and equipment, net of disposals, will be approximately $1.7 billion.

Financing Activities

During the first six months of 2023, repayment of senior notes used cash of $1.00 billion. The company’s financing activities also included the repurchase of $3.00 billion of the company’s common stock (5.2 million shares) and the payment of $0.25 billion in cash dividends. On November 10, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $4.00 billion of the company’s common stock. All of the shares of common stock repurchased by the company during the first quarter of 2023 were under this program. At August 4, 2023, authorization remained for $1.00 billion of future repurchases of the company’s common stock.

During the first six months of 2022, repayment of senior notes and net commercial paper activity used cash of $0.38 billion and $2.46 billion, respectively. The company’s financing activities also included the repurchase of $2.00 billion of the company’s common stock (3.3 million shares) and the payment of $0.22 billion in cash dividends.

The company’s commitments for purchases of property, plant and equipment, contractual obligations and other commercial commitments did not change materially subsequent to July 1, 2023, except for the agreement to acquire CorEvitas, LLC.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures such as organic revenue growth, which is reported revenue growth, excluding the impacts of revenues from acquired/divested businesses and the effects of currency translation. We report organic revenue growth because Thermo Fisher management believes that in order to understand the company’s short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of acquisitions/divestitures and foreign currency translation on revenues. Thermo Fisher management uses organic revenue growth to forecast and evaluate the operational performance of the company as well as to compare revenues of current periods to prior periods.

We report adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income margin, adjusted other income/(expense), adjusted tax rate, and adjusted EPS. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, helps investors to gain a better understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the company’s core operating performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods, forecasts, and to the performance of our competitors. Such measures are also used by management in their financial and operating decision-making and for compensation purposes. To calculate these measures we exclude, as applicable:

•Certain acquisition-related costs, including charges for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of acquisition, significant transaction/acquisition-related costs, including changes in estimates of contingent acquisition-related consideration, and other costs associated with obtaining short-term financing commitments for pending/recent acquisitions. We exclude these costs because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs.

•Costs/income associated with restructuring activities and large-scale abandonments of product lines, such as reducing overhead and consolidating facilities. We exclude these costs because we believe that the costs related to restructuring activities and large-scale abandonment of product lines are not indicative of our normal operating costs.

•Equity in earnings/losses of unconsolidated entities; impairments of long-lived assets; and certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, including gains/losses on investments, the sale of businesses, product lines, and real estate, significant litigation-related matters, curtailments/settlements of pension plans, and the early retirement of debt. We exclude these items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

•The expense associated with the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have lives of up to 20 years. Exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies.

THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.

•The tax impacts of the above items and the impact of significant tax audits or events (such as changes in deferred taxes from enacted tax rate/law changes), the latter of which we exclude because they are outside of our normal operations and difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.

We report free cash flow, which is operating cash flow excluding net capital expenditures, to provide a view of the continuing operations’ ability to generate cash for use in acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. The company also uses this measure as an indication of the strength of the company. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.

The non-GAAP financial measures of the company’s results of operations and cash flows included in this Form 10-Q are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for the company’s results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth within the “Overview” and “Results of Operations” sections and below.

Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock, $1.00 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as from time to time amended (the “Plan”). The shares of Common Stock that are issuable in connection with the RSUs are referred to in this agreement as Shares. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as in the Plan.

2.Time-Based Vesting.

Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of Section 3 and the Plan, the RSUs shall vest on the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the Award Date or (ii) the date of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company in the year following the Award Date (the earlier of such dates, the “Vesting Date”); provided that on such Vesting Date, the Participant is, and has been at all times since the Award Date, a director of the Company.

3.Additional Vesting Provisions.

(a)    Termination of Relationship with the Company. In the event that the Participant ceases to be a director of the Company for any reason not described in paragraphs (b) or (c) below prior to the Vesting Date, RSUs shall be immediately forfeited to the Company.

(b)     Death. In the event that the Participant's service with the Company is terminated by reason of death prior to the Vesting Date, the RSUs shall vest 100% upon the date of such death.

(c)     Change in Control Event. In the event that the Participant’s service as a director ceases within one year after a Change in Control Event that occurs prior to the Vesting Date, the RSUs shall vest 100% upon the date of such cessation.

4.    Delivery of Shares

(a)    The Company shall deliver the Shares that become issuable pursuant to an RSU within the sixty-day period following the date the RSUs vest pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 above.

(b)    The Company shall not be obligated to deliver Shares to the Participant unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements including, without limitation, any applicable federal, state or foreign securities or exchange control laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may then be listed.

5.    Restrictions on Transfer.

The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”) any RSUs, or any interest therein, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

6.    Provisions of the Plan.

This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this Agreement.

7.    Dividends; Other Corporate Transactions.

(a)    If at any time during the period between the Award Date and the date that Shares are delivered after the RSU vests, the Company pays a dividend or other distribution with respect to its Common Stock, including without limitation a distribution of shares of the Company’s stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, then on the date the Shares issuable upon vesting of the RSU are delivered, the Company shall pay the Participant, at the time of delivery of Shares pursuant to Section 4, the dividend or other distribution that would have been paid on such Shares if the Participant had owned such Shares during the period beginning on the Award Date and ending on the respective delivery date. No dividend or other distribution shall be paid with respect to RSUs that are forfeited.

(b)    In the event of a Reorganization Event, then the rights of the Company under this Agreement and all other terms of this Agreement (including without limitation vesting provisions) shall inure to the benefit of the Company's successor and shall apply to the cash, securities or other property which the Common Stock was converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to the Shares. Such cash, securities or other property shall be delivered or paid at the time provided in Section 4.

(c)    Except as set forth in Section 7(a) or (b) above and in the Plan, neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant shall be, or have any rights

or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs granted hereunder until the Shares have been delivered to the Participant.

8.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.

9.    Unfunded Rights. The right of the Participant to receive Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement is an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company. The Participant shall have no rights under this Agreement other than those of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

10.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent the Participant is a U.S. taxpayer, this Agreement is intended to provide for payments that are exempt from or compliant with Section 409A. Accordingly, a Participant shall have no right to designate the taxable year of payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if and to the extent any portion of any payment under this Agreement to the Participant is deferred compensation payable upon his or her separation from service and the Participant is a specified employee as defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), as determined by the Company in accordance with its procedures, by which determination the Participant (through accepting the Award) agrees that he or she is bound, such portion of the payment, compensation or other benefit shall not be paid before the day that is six months plus one day after the date of “separation from service”, except as Section 409A may then permit.

The Company makes no representations or warranties and shall have no liability to the Participant or any other person if any provisions of or payments, compensation or other benefits under this Agreement are determined to constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A but do not to satisfy the conditions of that section.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
