WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) (the "Company") today announced results for the quarter ended September 26, 2025.

Key Third Quarter 2025 Results

  • Net earnings were $908 million, or $1.27 per diluted common share and non-GAAP adjusted diluted net earnings per common share were $1.89.
  • Revenues increased 4.5% year-over-year to $6.1 billion and non-GAAP core revenue increased 3.0% year-over-year.
  • Operating cash flow was $1.7 billion and non-GAAP free cash flow was $1.4 billion.

Rainer M. Blair, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are encouraged by our third quarter results.  DBS-driven execution paired with continued momentum in our bioprocessing business and better-than-anticipated respiratory revenue at Cepheid enabled us to exceed our revenue, earnings and cash flow expectations."

Mr. Blair continued, "We remain intensely focused on delivering value for our customers, associates, and shareholders. We're investing in breakthrough innovation, enhancing our commercial execution, and driving meaningful productivity gains across our businesses.  We believe these efforts will strengthen our long-term competitive position and help to solve some of the world's most difficult healthcare challenges."

Full Year 2025 Outlook

The Company does not reconcile Non-GAAP forecasted core sales growth and adjusted diluted net earnings per common share to their respective, comparable measure prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) (except for estimated amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets of $1.7 billion for the year ending December 31, 2025 and the estimated impact of foreign currency on sales, which for the full year 2025 is estimated to increase sales by 1.0%, assuming the currency exchange rates in effect as of September 26, 2025) because the additional elements that would be reflected in any such GAAP measures (such as the impact of currency exchange rates on profitability, acquisitions, divested product lines, discrete tax adjustments, impairments, gains and losses on investments and the outcome of legal proceedings) are difficult to predict and estimate and are often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control.  The impact of these additional elements could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.

For full year 2025, the Company is maintaining its full year adjusted diluted net earnings per common share guidance range of $7.70 to $7.80.  This includes an expectation that non-GAAP core revenue will grow low-single digits year-over-year for the full year 2025.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

Danaher will discuss its third quarter results and financial guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, including as applicable key assumptions with respect thereto, during its investor conference call today starting at 8:00 a.m. ET.  The call and an accompanying slide presentation will be webcast on the "Investors" section of Danaher's website, www.danaher.com, under the subheading "Events & Presentations."  A replay of the webcast will be available in the same section of Danaher's website shortly after the conclusion of the presentation and will remain available until the next quarterly earnings call.

The conference call can be accessed by dialing 800-245-3047 within the U.S. or by dialing +1 203-518-9765 outside the U.S. a few minutes before the 8:00 a.m. ET start and telling the operator that you are dialing in for Danaher's earnings conference call (Conference ID: DHRQ325).  A replay of the conference call will be available shortly after the conclusion of the call and until November 4, 2025.  You can access the replay dial-in information on the "Investors" section of Danaher's website under the subheading "Events & Presentations."

Impairment charges related to technology and other intangible assets in the Biotechnology segment recorded in both the three and nine-month periods ended September 26, 2025 ($86 million pretax as reported in this line item, $58 million after-tax), a trade name in the Diagnostics segment recorded in both the three and nine-month periods ended September 26, 2025 ($15 million pretax as reported in this line item, $12 million after-tax), a trade name in the Life Sciences segment recorded in the nine-month period ended September 26, 2025 ($432 million pretax as reported in this line item, $328 million after-tax), a facility in the Biotechnology segment recorded in the nine-month period ended September 26, 2025 ($15 million pretax as reported in this line item, $11 million after-tax) and a trade name in the Life Sciences segment recorded in both the three and nine-month periods ended September 27, 2024 ($222 million pretax as recorded in this line item, $169 million after-tax).



D

Gain on a product line disposition in the nine-month period ended September 26, 2025 ($9 million pretax as reported in this line item, $7 million after-tax).



E

Costs incurred for the fair value adjustment to inventory related to the acquisition of Abcam plc for the nine-month period ended September 27, 2024 ($25 million pretax as reported in this line item, $19 million after-tax).



F

This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all nontax 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.



G

There were no net discrete tax adjustments for the three-month period ended September 26, 2025, as a valuation allowance recorded on certain foreign operating losses was offset by benefits from the remeasurement of deferred taxes in a jurisdiction which enacted a tax rate change.  Discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments for the nine-month period ended September 26, 2025, include the impact of net discrete tax charges of $12 million related primarily to a valuation allowance recorded on certain foreign operating losses and changes in uncertain tax positions, partially offset by the remeasurement of deferred taxes in a jurisdiction which enacted a tax rate change and the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitations. There were no net discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments for the three-month period ended September 27, 2024 as excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation were offset by other discrete tax charges.  Discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments for the nine-month period ended September 27, 2024, include net discrete tax benefits of $45 million related primarily to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation, release of reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitations and changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions.

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:

  • with respect to Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share, understand the long-term profitability trends of our business and compare our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers;
  • with respect to core sales, identify underlying growth trends in our business and compare our sales performance with prior and future periods and to our peers; and
  • with respect to free cash flow (the "FCF Measure"), understand Danaher's ability to generate cash without external financings, strengthen its balance sheet, invest in its business and grow its business through acquisitions and other strategic opportunities (although a limitation of free cash flow is that it does not take into account the Company's debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures, and as a result the entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures).

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 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:

  • With respect to Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share:
    • Amortization of Intangible Assets: We exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate. While we have a history of significant acquisition activity we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and the related amortization term are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. Exclusion of this amortization expense facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly acquired and long-held businesses, and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. We believe however that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to sales generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized.
    • Restructuring Charges: We exclude costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different (in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans) from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Danaher Business System. Because these restructuring plans are incremental to the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of Danaher's ongoing operating costs in a given period, we exclude these costs to facilitate a more consistent comparison of operating results over time.
    • Other Adjustments: With respect to the other items excluded from Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share, we exclude these items because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to Danaher's commercial performance during the period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
  • With respect to core sales, (1) we exclude the impact of currency translation because it is not under management's control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends, and (2) we exclude the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
  • With respect to the FCF Measure, we deduct payments for additions to property, plant and equipment (net of the proceeds from capital disposals) to demonstrate the amount of operating cash flow for the period that remains after accounting for the Company's capital expenditure requirements.
