Overview

We are a leading provider of products, services and solutions for the diagnostics, life sciences and applied markets. Through our advanced technologies and differentiated solutions, we address critical issues that help to improve lives and the world around us.

The principal products and services of our two operating segments are:

•Discovery & Analytical Solutions. Provides products and services targeted towards the life sciences and applied markets.

•Diagnostics. Develops diagnostics, tools and applications focused on clinically-oriented customers, especially within the reproductive health, immunodiagnostics and applied genomics markets.

Overview of the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2022



Our overall revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was $1,259.4
million which decreased by $48.2 million, or 4%, as compared to the first
quarter of fiscal year 2021, reflecting a decrease of $196.0 million, or 23%, in
our Diagnostics segment revenue offset by an increase of $147.8 million, or 33%,
in our Discovery & Analytical Solutions segment revenue. The decrease in our
Diagnostics segment revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was driven
by a decrease in revenue from our COVID-19 product offerings of $239.7 million,
which was partially offset by increase in revenue across our core portfolio of
$43.7 million. Additionally, due to the decrease in COVID-19 cases and related
decreased need for COVID-19 testing, the California Department of Public Health
("CDPH") notified us on March 31, 2022 that it intends to end its contract with
us for the supply and operation of the Valencia Branch Laboratory effective on
May 15, 2022. We shall recognize the unamortized contract liability pertaining
to the nonrefundable prepayment as revenue over the remaining period through May
15, 2022. The increase in our Discovery & Analytical Solutions segment revenue
for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 was driven by an increase in our life
sciences market and applied markets revenue, partially offset by unfavorable
changes in foreign exchange rates. The increase in our life sciences market
revenue was the result of an increase in revenue from businesses acquired in
fiscal year 2021 along with organic growth in our pharmaceutical and
biotechnology markets. The increase in our applied markets revenue was driven by
increased demand from our industrial and food markets, which were partially
offset by decreased demand from our environmental market.

Our consolidated gross margins decreased 611 basis points in the first quarter
of fiscal year 2022, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2021,
primarily due to increased amortization expense and decreased COVID-19 revenue
partially offset by a favorable shift in product mix and service productivity.
Our consolidated operating margins decreased 1,554 basis points in the first
quarter of fiscal year 2022, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year
2021, primarily due to increased costs related to amortization of acquired
intangible assets, and investments in new product development and growth
initiatives.

Overall, we believe that our strategic priorities and recent acquisitions,
coupled with our expanded range of product offerings, leading market positions,
global scale, and financial strength provide us with a foundation for continued
revenue growth, strong margins and cash flows, and long-term earnings per share
growth.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to
make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those
related to accounting for business combinations, long-lived assets,
                                       25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents



including goodwill and other intangible assets and employee compensation and
benefits. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those policies that affect our more significant
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated
financial statements. We believe our critical accounting policies include
policies regarding business combinations, valuation of long-lived assets,
including goodwill and other intangibles and employee compensation and benefits.

For a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and
estimates, refer to the Notes to our audited consolidated financial statements
and Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended January 2, 2022 (our "2021 Form 10-K"), as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. There have been no significant changes in our critical
accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended April 3, 2022.

Consolidated Results of Continuing Operations

Revenue



Revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2022 was $1,259.4 million, as
compared to $1,307.7 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, a
decrease of $48.2 million, or approximately 4%, which includes an approximate 2%
decrease in revenue attributable to unfavorable changes in foreign exchange
rates, partially offset by a 10% increase in revenue attributable to
acquisitions and divestitures. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph
compares segment revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2022 as compared to
the three months ended April 4, 2021 and includes the effect of foreign exchange
rate fluctuations, acquisitions and divestitures. Our Diagnostics segment
revenue was $657.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared
to $853.1 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, a decrease of $196.0
million, or 23%, primarily due to a decrease in revenue from our COVID-19
product offerings of $239.7 million and unfavorable changes in foreign exchange
rates, which were partially offset by increase in revenue across our core
portfolio of $43.7 million. Our Discovery & Analytical Solutions segment revenue
was $602.4 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared to
$454.6 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, an increase of $147.8
million, or 33%, driven by an increase in revenue from our 2021 acquisitions,
and an increase in our life sciences market and applied markets revenue,
partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates. As a result
of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain acquisitions required by
business combination accounting rules, we did not recognize $0.2 million of
revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2022 and $1.2 million of revenue for
the three months ended April 4, 2021 that otherwise would have been recorded by
the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods.

Cost of Revenue



Cost of revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2022 was $580.2 million, as
compared to $522.5 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, an increase
of $57.7 million, or approximately 11%. As a percentage of revenue, cost of
revenue increased to 46.1% for the three months ended April 3, 2022, from 40.0%
for the three months ended April 4, 2021, resulting in a decrease in gross
margin of 611 basis points to 53.9% for the three months ended April 3, 2022,
from 60.0% for the three months ended April 4, 2021. Amortization of intangible
assets increased and was $40.1 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022,
as compared to $20.3 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021.
Amortization of intangible assets from our recent acquisitions amounted to $22.9
million for the three months ended April 3, 2022. The amortization of purchase
accounting adjustments to record the inventory from certain acquisitions added
an incremental expense of $16.9 million for the three months ended April 3,
2022, as compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021.
Purchase accounting adjustments for depreciation on property, plant and
equipment added an incremental expense of $0.1 million for the three months
ended April 3, 2022. The overall decrease in gross margin was partially offset
by a favorable shift in product mix and service productivity.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses



Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended April 3,
2022 were $334.4 million, as compared to $251.4 million for the three months
ended April 4, 2021, an increase of $83.0 million, or 33.0%. As a percentage of
revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased and were 26.6%
for the three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared to 19.2% for the three
months ended April 4, 2021. Amortization of intangible assets increased and was
$62.6 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared to $33.9
million for the three months ended April 4, 2021. Amortization of intangible
assets from our recent acquisitions amounted to $34.1 million for the three
months ended April 3, 2022. Purchase accounting adjustments added an incremental
expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022, which
                                       26

primarily consisted of a change in contingent consideration, as compared to $0.2
million for the three months ended April 4, 2021. Acquisition and
divestiture-related expenses added an incremental expense of $17.4 million for
the three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared to $9.7 million for the three
months ended April 4, 2021. Legal costs for significant litigation matters and
settlements were $0.4 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022. In
addition to the above items, the increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses was primarily the result of costs related to investments in people,
digital capabilities, innovation, and recent acquisitions.

Research and Development Expenses



Research and development expenses for the three months ended April 3, 2022 were
$76.6 million, as compared to $60.2 million for the three months ended April 4,
2021, an increase of $16.4 million, or 27.2%. Research and development expenses
from our recent acquisitions were $13.7 million for the three months ended
April 3, 2022. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses
increased and were 6.1% for the three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared to
4.6% for the three months ended April 4, 2021. Stock compensation related to our
acquisitions added an incremental expense of $1.5 million for the three months
ended April 3, 2022. Purchase accounting adjustments for depreciation on
property, plant and equipment added an incremental expense of $0.1 million for
the three months ended April 3, 2022. The increase in research and development
expenses was driven by our investments in new product development.

Restructuring and Other Costs, Net
We implemented a restructuring plan in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022
consisting of workforce reductions principally intended to realign resources to
emphasize growth initiatives and integrate new acquisitions (the "Q1 2022
Plan"). We implemented restructuring plans in each quarter of fiscal year 2021
consisting of workforce reductions principally intended to realign resources to
emphasize growth initiatives and integrate new acquisitions (the "Q1 2021 Plan",
"Q2 2021 Plan", "Q3 2021 Plan" and "Q4 2021 Plan", respectively). Details of the
plans initiated in previous years (the "Previous Plans") are discussed more
fully in Note 4, Restructuring and Other Costs, Net, to our audited consolidated
financial statements in the 2021 Form 10-K.

The following table summarizes the reductions in headcount, the initial restructuring or contract termination charges by reporting segment, and the dates by which payments were substantially completed, or the dates by which payments are expected to be substantially completed, for restructuring actions implemented during fiscal years 2022 and 2021:

We terminated various contractual commitments in connection with certain
disposal activities and have recorded charges for the costs of terminating these
contracts before the end of their terms and the costs that will continue to be
incurred for the remaining terms without economic benefit to us. We recorded net
pre-tax charges of $6.3 million in the Discovery & Analytical Solutions segment
during the three months ended April 3, 2022 as a result of these contract
terminations. We recorded net pre-tax gains of $0.4 million in the Diagnostics
segment during the three months ended April 3, 2022 as a result of changes in
estimates from prior contract terminations.

We recorded pre-tax charges of $1.3 million and $0.2 million associated with
relocating facilities during the three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4,
2021, respectively, in the Discovery & Analytical Solutions segment. We expect
to make payments on these relocation activities through end of fiscal year 2022.

The increase in interest and other expense (income), net, for the three months
ended April 3, 2022, as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2021, was
primarily due to an increase of $14.3 million in interest expense, which was the
result of an overall increase in debt, a change in fair value of financial
securities of $12.1 million that was recognized during the three months ended
April 3, 2022 as compared to $(19.3) million that was recognized during the
three months ended April 4, 2021, an increase in other components of net
periodic pension credit of $1.4 million and a decrease in other income, net of
$3.1 million.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes from continuing operations was $40.6 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared to $101.1 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021.



The effective tax rate from continuing operations was 18.7% for the three months
ended April 3, 2022, as compared to 21.1% for the three months ended April 4,
2021. The lower effective tax rate during the three months ended April 3, 2022,
as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2021, was primarily due to more
income in higher tax rate jurisdictions during the first quarter of fiscal year
2021 and a one-time discrete expense of $1.5 million related to a tax accrual
for foreign earnings that was recorded in the three months ended April 4, 2021.

During the first three months of fiscal years 2022 and 2021, we recorded a net
discrete benefit of $0.6 million and an income tax expense of $2.0 million,
respectively. The discrete tax benefits in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022
included excess tax benefits on stock compensation of $1.8 million, partially
offset by tax accruals for unrecognized tax benefits and tax rate changes. The
discrete tax benefits in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 included various
tax return to provision adjustments totaling $1.8 million and a $1.5 million
accrual for foreign earnings, which were partially offset by excess tax benefits
on stock compensation of $3.1 million.



Reporting Segment Results of Continuing Operations

Discovery & Analytical Solutions



Revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2022 was $602.4 million, as compared
to $454.6 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, an increase of
$147.8 million, or 33%, which includes an approximate 23% increase in revenue
attributable to acquisitions and divestitures and a 2% decrease in revenue
attributable to unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates. The life sciences
market revenue increased by $135.2 million while the applied markets revenue
increased by $12.5 million. The analysis in the remainder of this paragraph
compares selected revenue by end market for the three months ended April 3,
2022, as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2021, and includes the
effect of foreign exchange fluctuations, acquisitions and divestitures. The
increase in our life sciences revenue was the result of an increase in revenue
from businesses acquired in fiscal year 2021 along with organic growth in our
pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets. The increase in our applied markets
revenue was driven by increased demand from our industrial and food markets,
which were partially offset by decreased demand from our environmental market.

Operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended April 3,
2022 was $14.5 million, as compared to $42.9 million for the three months ended
April 4, 2021, a decrease of $28.4 million, or 66%. Amortization of intangible
assets was $67.7 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared
to $20.4 million for the three months ended
                                       28

April 4, 2021. Amortization of intangible assets from our recent acquisitions
amounted to $51.2 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022.
Restructuring and other charges, net, were $13.4 million for the three months
ended April 3, 2022, as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended
April 4, 2021. The amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the
inventory from certain acquisitions was $16.6 million for the three months ended
April 3, 2022, as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended April 4,
2021. Acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, contingent consideration and
other costs added an incremental expense of $14.0 million for the three months
ended April 3, 2022, as compared to $7.0 million for the three months ended
April 4, 2021. Legal costs for significant litigation matters and settlements
were $0.4 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022. Excluding the
factors noted above, operating income increased for the three months ended
April 3, 2022, as compared to the three months ended April 4, 2021, primarily as
a result of higher sales volume and favorable product mix, partially offset by
increased investments in new product development and growth initiatives.

Diagnostics



Revenue for the three months ended April 3, 2022 was $657.1 million, as compared
to $853.1 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021, a decrease of $196.0
million, or 23%, which includes a 2% decrease in revenue attributable to
unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by an
approximate 3% increase in revenue attributable to acquisitions and
divestitures. As a result of adjustments to deferred revenue related to certain
acquisitions required by business combination accounting rules, we did not
recognize $0.2 million of revenue in our Diagnostics segment for each of the
three months ended April 3, 2022 and April 4, 2021 that otherwise would have
been recorded by the acquired businesses during each of the respective periods.
The decrease in our Diagnostics segment revenue for the three months ended
April 3, 2022 was due to a decrease in revenue from our COVID-19 product
offerings of $239.7 million and unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates,
which were partially offset by increase in revenue across our core portfolio of
$43.7 million. Due to the termination of our contract with CDPH, we shall
recognize the unamortized contract liability pertaining to the nonrefundable
prepayment as revenue over the remaining period through May 15, 2022. As of
March 31, 2022, the unamortized contract liability was $126.2 million. The
contract liability that we expect to recognize in revenue in the second quarter
of fiscal year 2022 amounts to $117.8 million.

Operating income from continuing operations for the three months ended April 3,
2022 was $258.0 million, as compared to $441.5 million for the three months
ended April 4, 2021, a decrease of $183.5 million, or 42%. Amortization of
intangible assets increased and was $34.9 million for the three months ended
April 3, 2022, as compared to $33.7 million for the three months ended April 4,
2021. Amortization of intangible assets from our recent acquisitions amounted to
$5.8 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022. Restructuring and other
charges, net, was $1.6 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021. The
amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to record the inventory from
certain acquisitions was $0.3 million for the three months ended April 3, 2022,
as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended April 4, 2021.
Acquisition and divestiture-related expenses, contingent consideration and other
costs added an incremental expense of $7.7 million for the three months ended
April 3, 2022, as compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended April 4,
2021. Excluding the factors noted above, operating income decreased for the
three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared to the three months ended April 4,
2021, primarily as a result of lower sales volume related to COVID-19 product
offerings and unfavorable product mix.


Liquidity and Capital Resources



We require cash to pay our operating expenses, make capital expenditures, make
strategic acquisitions, service our debt and other long-term liabilities,
repurchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends on our common stock. Our
principal sources of funds are from our operations, borrowing capacity available
under our senior unsecured credit facility and access to debt markets. We
anticipate that our internal operations will generate sufficient cash to fund
our operating expenses, capital expenditures, smaller acquisitions, interest
payments on our debt and dividends on our common stock. However, we expect to
use external sources to satisfy the balance of our debt when due, any larger
acquisitions and other long-term liabilities, such as contributions to our
postretirement benefit plans.

We and our subsidiaries may from time to time, in our sole discretion, purchase,
repay, redeem or retire any of our outstanding debt securities (including any
publicly issued debt securities), in privately negotiated or open market
transactions, by tender offer or otherwise, or extend or refinance any of our
outstanding indebtedness.

Principal factors that could affect the availability of our internally generated funds include:

•changes in sales due to weakness in markets in which we sell our products and services, and

•changes in our working capital requirements and capital expenditures.

Principal factors that could affect our ability to obtain cash from external sources include:

•financial covenants contained in the financial instruments controlling our borrowings that limit our total borrowing capacity,

•increases in interest rates applicable to our outstanding variable rate debt,



•a ratings downgrade that could limit the amount we can borrow under our senior
unsecured revolving credit facility and our overall access to the corporate debt
market,

•increases in interest rates or credit spreads, as well as limitations on the
availability of credit, that affect our ability to borrow under future potential
facilities on a secured or unsecured basis,

•a decrease in the market price for our common stock, and

•volatility in the public debt and equity markets.



At April 3, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $669.8 million, of which
$532.0 million was held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries, and we had $1.5 billion of
borrowing capacity available under our senior unsecured revolving credit
facility. We had no other liquid investments at April 3, 2022.

We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies to ensure that our
worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed. We use our
non-U.S. cash for needs outside of the U.S. including foreign operations,
capital investments, acquisitions and repayment of debt. In addition, we
transfer cash to the U.S. using nontaxable returns of capital, distribution of
previously taxed income, as well as dividends, where the related income tax cost
is managed efficiently. We have accrued tax expense on the unremitted earnings
of foreign subsidiaries as required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the
"Tax Act") and where the foreign earnings are not considered permanently
reinvested. In accordance with the Tax Act, we are making scheduled annual cash
payments on our accrued transition tax. As of the end of fiscal year 2021, we
identified approximately $1.2 billion in earnings that we no longer considered
permanently reinvested. We intend to begin repatriating such earnings to the
U.S., in whole or in part, during fiscal year 2022, and have recorded a
provision of approximately $37.1 million for the U.S. federal, U.S. state and
non-U.S. taxes that would fall due when such earnings are repatriated. No
additional income tax expense has been provided for any remaining undistributed
foreign earnings, or any additional outside basis difference inherent in these
entities, as these amounts continue to be indefinitely reinvested.

On July 31, 2020, our Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized us to
repurchase shares of common stock for an aggregate amount up to $250.0 million
under a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"). The Repurchase
Program will expire on July 27, 2022 unless terminated earlier by the Board and
may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended
April 3, 2022, we repurchased 240,000 shares of common stock under the
Repurchase Program for an aggregate cost of $43.4 million. As of April 3, 2022,
$144.0 million remained available for aggregate repurchases of shares under the
Repurchase Program.

As of April 3, 2022, we may have to pay contingent consideration related to
acquisitions with open contingency periods of up to $111.3 million. As of
April 3, 2022, we have recorded contingent consideration obligations of $49.8
million, of which $1.1 million was recorded in accrued expenses and other
current liabilities, and $48.7 million was recorded in long-term liabilities.
The expected maximum earnout period for acquisitions with open contingency
periods does not exceed 6.7 years from April 3, 2022, and the remaining weighted
average expected earnout period at April 3, 2022 was 5.7 years.

Distressed global financial markets could adversely impact general economic
conditions by reducing liquidity and credit availability, creating increased
volatility in security prices, widening credit spreads, increasing the cost of
borrowings and decreasing valuations of certain investments. The widening of
credit spreads may create a less favorable environment for certain of our
businesses and may affect the fair value of financial instruments that we issue
or hold. Increases in credit spreads, as well as limitations on the availability
of credit at rates we consider to be reasonable, could affect our ability to
borrow under future potential facilities on a secured or unsecured basis, which
may adversely affect our liquidity and results of operations. In difficult
global financial markets, we may be forced to fund our operations at a higher
cost, or we may be unable to raise as much funding as we need to support our
business activities.

Our pension plans have not experienced a material impact on liquidity or
counterparty exposure due to the volatility and uncertainty in the credit
markets. During the three months ended April 3, 2022, we contributed $1.7
million, in the aggregate, to pension plans outside of the United States, and
expect to contribute an additional $5.3 million by the end of fiscal year 2022.
We could potentially have to make additional contributions in future periods for
all pension plans. We expect to use existing cash and external sources to
satisfy future contributions to our pension plans.

Cash Flows



Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $283.2
million for the three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared to $473.5 million
for the three months ended April 4, 2021, a decrease of $190.3 million,
primarily due to lower profitability and more cash used in working capital in
the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 as compared to the prior period. The cash
provided by operating activities for the three months ended April 3, 2022 was
principally a result of income from continuing operations of $177.0 million, and

depreciation and amortization of $120.1 million, partially offset by net cash
usage in working capital of $74.1 million. The cash provided by operating
activities for the three months ended April 4, 2021 was principally a result of
income from continuing operations of $379.3 million, and adjustments for
non-cash charges aggregating to $65.9 million, including depreciation and

and settlement of cash flow hedges. During the three months ended April 3, 2022,
we made payments on our term loan facility of $100.0 million, as compared to
debt borrowings of $584.0 million and proceeds from the sale of unsecured senior
notes of $799.9 million, which were partially offset by debt payments of $743.5
million and debt issuance costs of $7.9 million during the three months ended

shares of our common stock for a total cost of $55.6 million, as compared to

settlement of hedges during the three months ended April 3, 2022, as compared to
$6.0 million in cash received from settlement of hedges for the three months
ended April 4, 2021. The cash used in financing activities during the three
months ended April 3, 2022 was partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of
common stock under our stock plans of $1.4 million during the three months ended
April 3, 2022, as compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended April 4,
2021.
