WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) (the "Company") today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year 2023. All results in this release reflect only continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
Key Fourth Quarter 2023 Results
Key Full Year 2023 Results
Rainer M. Blair, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We delivered better-than-expected revenue in each of our segments in the fourth quarter—led by respiratory revenue at Cepheid. The combination of higher-than-expected revenues and our team's strong execution enabled us to exceed our margin and cash flow expectations in what remains a dynamic market environment. Additionally, the recently closed acquisition of Abcam enhances our portfolio and expands our capabilities in the highly attractive proteomics market."
Blair continued, "2023 was a transformational year for Danaher. Following the spin-off of Veralto, we are a more focused Life Sciences and Diagnostics Innovator with an enhanced long-term growth and earnings trajectory. The unique combination of our differentiated portfolio and our team's DBS-driven execution provides a strong foundation for delivering long-term shareholder value."
First Quarter and Full Year 2024 Outlook
The Company provides forecasted sales only on a non-GAAP basis because of the difficulty in estimating the other components of GAAP revenue, such as currency translation, acquisitions and divested product lines.
Beginning with the first quarter of 2024 the Company will continue to provide guidance for core revenue growth, but will no longer provide guidance for, or report base business core revenue as the pandemic has transitioned to an endemic state.
For the first quarter 2024, the Company anticipates that non-GAAP core revenue will be down high-single digits year-over-year. For full year 2024, the Company anticipates that non-GAAP core revenue will be down low-single digits year-over-year.

C | Impairment charge related to technology-based intangible assets in the Diagnostics segment recorded in the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2023 ($23 million pretax as reported in this line, $18 million after-tax) and technology-based intangible assets and other assets in the Biotechnology segment recorded in the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2023 ($12 million and $54 million pretax as reported in this line item, $8 million and $40 million after-tax, respectively). In the year ended December 31, 2022 charges incurred primarily related to impairments of accounts receivable and inventory as well as accruals for contractual obligations in Russia ($42 million pretax as reported in this line item, $39 million after-tax). |
D | Transaction costs deemed significant, settlement of pre-acquisition share-based payment awards and fair value adjustments to inventory in each case related to the acquisition of Abcam in the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2023 ($95 million pretax as reported in this line item, $75 million after-tax). The Company deems acquisition-related transaction costs incurred in a given period to be significant (generally relating to the Company's larger acquisitions) if it determines that such costs exceed the range of acquisition-related transaction costs typical for Danaher in a given period. |
E | Gain related to settlement of litigation in the Life Sciences segment recorded in the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2023 ($10 million pretax as reported in this line, $8 million after-tax). |
F | Loss on a partial settlement of a defined benefit plan as a result of the transfer of a portion of the Company's non-U.S. pension liabilities related to one defined benefit plan to a third-party in the year ended December 31, 2022 ($10 million pretax as reported in this line item, $9 million after-tax). |
G | This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all non-tax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the table. In addition, the footnotes above indicate the after-tax amount of each individual adjustment item. Danaher estimates the tax effect of each adjustment item by applying Danaher's overall estimated effective tax rate to the pretax amount, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment. The MCPS dividends are not tax deductible and therefore the tax effect of the adjustments does not include any tax impact of the MCPS dividends. |
H | Discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, include the impact of net discrete tax benefits of $71 million due principally to net deferred tax benefits resulting from changes in estimates related to prior year tax filing positions and the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitation, net of charges related to changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. Discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2023 include the impact of net discrete tax benefits of $47 million due principally to net discrete tax benefits from changes in estimates related to prior year tax filing positions, the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitation and excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, net of charges related to tax costs related to the separation of Veralto Corporation, tax costs from legal and operational actions undertaken to realign certain of its businesses and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. Discrete tax adjustments for both the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2022, include the impact of net discrete tax benefits of $459 million and $500 million, respectively, due principally to net deferred tax benefits resulting from legal and operational actions undertaken to realign certain of Danaher's businesses, as well as excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitation and audit settlements and changes in estimates related to prior year tax filing positions, net of changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions. The Company anticipates excess tax benefits from stock compensation of approximately $7 million per quarter and therefore excludes benefits in excess of this amount in the calculation of adjusted diluted net earnings from continuing operations per common share. |
I | In March 2019, the Company issued $1.65 billion in aggregate liquidation preference of 4.75% MCPS Series A. In May 2020, the Company issued $1.72 billion in aggregate liquidation preference of 5.0% MCPS Series B. Dividends on the MCPS Series A and Series B were payable on a cumulative basis at an annual rate of 4.75% and 5.0%, respectively, on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Each share of MCPS Series A converted on April 15, 2022 into 6.6632 shares of Danaher's common stock. Each share of MCPS Series B converted on April 17, 2023 into 5.0175 shares of Danaher's common stock. For the calculation of net earnings per common share from continuing operations, the impact of the dilutive MCPS is calculated under the "if-converted" method and the related MCPS dividends are excluded. For the purposes of calculating adjusted earnings per common share from continuing operations, the Company has excluded the paid MCPS cash dividends and assumed the "if-converted" method of share dilution (the incremental shares of common stock deemed outstanding applying the "if-converted" method of calculating share dilution only with respect to any MCPS the conversion of which would be dilutive in the particular period are referred to as the "Converted Shares") for any MCPS that were anti-dilutive for the given period. For additional information about the impact of the MCPS on the calculation of diluted EPS, see note 2 in the Average and Adjusted Average Common Stock and Common Equivalent Diluted Shares Outstanding table below. |

Adjusted average common stock and common | 746.1 | 745.7 | 745.6 | 745.7 |
2 | The impact of the MCPS Series B calculated under the if-converted method was anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and as such, approximately 2.5 million shares and 8.6 million shares, respectively, underlying the MCPS Series B are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the periods and the related MCPS Series B dividends of $21 million and $86 million were included in the calculation of net earnings for diluted EPS for the respective periods. |
3 | The number of converted shares assumes the conversion of all MCPS and issuance of the underlying shares applying the "if-converted" method of accounting and using the actual conversion rates for the year ended December 31, 2023 and an average 20 trading-day trailing Volume Weighted Average Price of $266.27 as of December 31, 2022. |

Note: We expect overall demand for the Company's COVID-19 related products to continue moderating as the pandemic has evolved toward endemic status. We believe certain demand for the Company's products that support COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics and COVID-19 testing (which includes solutions that test for COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses simultaneously) will continue, though that demand will likely be uncertain and will vary from period to period. At the beginning of 2022, the Company believed that on a relative basis, the level of ongoing demand for products supporting COVID-19 testing would be subject to more fluctuations in demand than the level of demand for products supporting COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics, due in part to expected COVID-19 case levels, vaccination rates and use of therapies. However, as a result of lower vaccination rates and the spread of less severe variants of the virus, 2022 demand for the Company's products supporting COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics fluctuated and declined more than anticipated at the beginning of the year. Therefore, beginning with the first quarter of 2023, we have revised the definition of "base business core sales growth" on a basis that not only excludes revenues related to COVID-19 testing but also excludes revenues from products that support COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics. We believe this adjusted definition of "base business core sales growth" provides more useful information to investors by facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our financial performance and identifying underlying growth trends in the Company's business that otherwise may be obscured by fluctuations in demand for COVID-19 related products. |
Forecasted Core Sales Growth |
The Company provides forecasted sales only on a non-GAAP basis because of the difficulty in estimating the other components of GAAP revenue, such as currency translation, acquisitions and divested product lines. Beginning with the first quarter of 2024 the Company will continue to provide guidance for core revenue growth, but will no longer provide guidance for, or report base business core revenue as the pandemic has transitioned to an endemic state. |

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing Danaher Corporation's ("Danaher" or the "Company") results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors:
We expect overall demand for the Company's COVID-19 related products to continue moderating as the pandemic has evolved toward endemic status. We believe certain demand for the Company's products that support COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics and COVID-19 testing (which includes solutions that test for COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses simultaneously) will continue, though that demand will likely be uncertain and will vary from period to period. At the beginning of 2022, the Company believed that on a relative basis, the level of ongoing demand for products supporting COVID-19 testing would be subject to more fluctuations in demand than the level of demand for products supporting COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics, due in part to expected COVID-19 case levels, vaccination rates and use of therapies. However, as a result of lower vaccination rates and the spread of less severe variants of the virus, 2022 demand for the Company's products supporting COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics fluctuated and declined more than anticipated at the beginning of the year. Therefore, beginning with the first quarter of 2023, we have revised the definition of "base business core sales growth" on a basis that not only excludes revenues related to COVID-19 testing but also excludes revenues from products that support COVID-19 related vaccines and therapeutics. We believe this adjusted definition of "base business core sales growth" provides more useful information to investors by facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our financial performance and identifying underlying growth trends in the Company's business that otherwise may be obscured by fluctuations in demand for COVID-19 related products.
Management uses the non-GAAP measures referenced above to measure the Company's operating and financial performance, and uses core sales and non-GAAP measures similar to Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share from Continuing Operations and the FCF Measure in the Company's executive compensation program.
The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures set forth above have been excluded for the following reasons:
The Company provides forecasted sales only on a non-GAAP basis because of the difficulty in estimating the other components of GAAP revenue, such as currency translation, acquisitions and divested product lines.
