合併財務報表註解(未經審核)

附註 A - 報告編製依據

波士頓科學公司的附屬未經查核的合併基本報表已按照美國公認的會計原則(GAAP)和《表格10-Q》的說明以及《S-X法規》第10條條文編制,並不包括GAAP為完成基本報表所需的所有資訊和註腳。在本報告中使用的"我們"、"我們"、"我們的"和"公司"一詞指的是波士頓科學公司及其部門和子公司。在管理層看來,為了公正展示,已包括所有必要的調整(僅包括常規調整)。截至2024年9月30日的三個月和九個月的營運成果並不能必然反映出預期於2024年12月31日結束的年度結果。因此,我們的未經查核的合併基本報表及其附註應與我們最近的《表格10-K》年度報告第8項中包含的經查核的合併基本報表及其附註一同閱讀。

隨附的未經核數之統一財務報表包括公司全部擁有的子公司及實體的帳戶,該等實體符合公司具有控制經濟利益的標準。所有公司間的結餘和交易均已在合併中消除。2023年第一季,我們收購了先瑞達(臨時代碼)的多數股權投資,並選擇延後一個季度合併其基本報表。

本季度10-Q表格中報告的金額是基於千元計算的,以百萬為單位。因此,元件的總和可能由於四捨五入而不等於以百萬報告的總金額。表格中的某些列和行可能不加,因為使用了四捨五入的數字。所呈現的百分比是根據底層未取捨的金額計算的。

備註b – 收購和戰略投資

我們的附屬未經審核的合併基本報表包括從交易日期起取得的實體的營運結果。我們並未提供已完成收購或出售因其結果對我們的附屬未經審核的合併基本報表並不重要的補充的盈餘預估資訊。此外,交易成本對我們的附屬未經審核的合併基本報表並不重要並按發生時列為支出。

2024年1月8日,我們宣布我們已就收購 100 %的Axonics公司(Axonics),這是一家專注於開發和商業化用於治療尿道和腸道功能障礙設備的上市醫療科技公司。收購價格為每股$71.00 現金,或約$3.670 十幾億美元,用以收購 100%的全稀釋股權。2024年4月3日,我們和Axonics各自收到美國聯邦貿易委員會(FTC)就審查該交易提出的額外信息請求(第二請求)。第二請求的發布延長了《1976年安提特拉斯特-史考特-羅迪諾反托拉斯法》(HSR法)下的等待期,直至我們和Axonics均基本遵循第二請求,除非雙方自願延長等待期或FTC提前終止。我們和Axonics已回應第二請求,並繼續與FTC合作審查。預計該交易將於2024年第四季完成,須待根據HSR法下等待期的到期或終止以及滿足(或豁免)其他慣例收購條件。Axonics業務將整合進入我們的泌尿科部門。

2024年收購

在2024年9月17日,我們完成了收購 100 萬份額,佔總股本的比例,成爲了silk road medical(一家公開交易的醫療器械公司)的母公司,該公司開發了創新產品平台,通過一種名爲經頸內動脈再通(TCAR)的微創手術來預防頸動脈疾病患者的中風。這筆交易包括了總計27.50 ,或約爲$1.126 億美元的現金支付,扣除已收取的現金。silk road medical的業務將整合至我們的周圍干預部門。

購買價格分配

我們根據財務會計準則委員會(FASB)會計準則彙編(ASC)第805號章節記錄了這筆交易的業務組合。 業務組合(FASB ASC第805號章節)。 初步購買價格包括下面呈現的金額:

2023年4月4日,我們完成了對一家公開公司Apollo Endosurgery, Inc.(Apollo)的出資,並獲得了 100 股權的百分比。Apollo是一家提供用於閉合胃腸缺陷、管理胃腸併發症以及幫助肥胖病患者減肥的設備組合的公司。本次交易包括了一筆預付現金 payment of $636 百萬美元,淨現金收購。Apollo業務正在整合到我們的內窺鏡事業部門。

2023年2月20日,我們完成了對先瑞達(臨時代碼)多數股權投資的收購,該公司是一家中國上市藥物塗層球囊和其他用於治療血管和其他疾病的產品製造商。根據我們控制實體的結論,我們對先瑞達(臨時代碼)的多數股權投資進行了合併,並對我們不擁有的部分記錄了非控制權益。我們以外匯匯率進行了即時現金支付,收購了先瑞達(臨時代碼)約 65 的已發行股份,初始現金支付爲港幣20.00,年化爲519 百萬,根據即時的外幣匯率。先瑞達(臨時代碼)投資組合與我們現有的外周干預產品組合相輔相成。

我們以報告單位的層級評估商譽減損,該層級被定義為營運節段或營運節段下一層級,指稱為元件。我們為我們年度商譽減損測試目的識別了以下報告單位:介入心臟療法、節律管理、周邊介入、內視鏡、泌尿學和神經調節。根據FASB ASC 350主題中規定的標準, 無形資產 - 商譽及其他 (FASB ASC 350),我們將心臟病學營運節段的介入心臟療法和守望者元件合併成一個介入心臟報告單位,並將心臟病學營運節段的心臟節律管理和心臟電生理學元件合併成一個節律管理報告單位。

目錄

在2024年第二季度,我們進行了年度商譽減值測試,採用了FASB ASC主題350中描述的定性和定量方法。定性方法用於測試某些報告單位,這些單位的公允價值歷史上超過賬面價值的比例超過100%,而所有其他報告單位都採用定量方法進行測試。對於使用定性方法測試的報告單位,在評估了所有事件後,確定其公允價值低於賬面價值的可能性不大,因此不認爲有必要進行定量測試。對於使用定量方法測試的報告單位,我們確定其公允價值超過賬面價值,並得出結論認爲商譽沒有減值風險。在2024年第三季度沒有發現需要進行臨時減值測試的減值因數。
在2024年,我們在第三季度沒有記錄任何 無形資產減值損失 並在前九個月記錄了 $276 百萬。2024年記錄的減值費用與我們收購Cryterion Medical, Inc.(Cryterion)和Devoro Medical, Inc.(Devoro)相關的可攤銷無形資產有關,這些資產分別歸入我們的電生理和外周介入業務部門。從Cryterion收購的無形資產業務由於我們Farapulse™脈衝場消融系統的強勁商業採用而受到減值,導致營收預測下降,並且在美國等主要市場對我們的冷凍消融業務造成了侵蝕。從Devoro收購的無形資產業務在管理層決定於2024年第二季度取消相關項目後也遭到了減值。我們將Cryterion和Devoro無形資產的公允價值計算爲預計未來現金流的現值,這些現金流是基於對未來收入貢獻、成本結構及資產剩餘使用壽命的估計和假設。
在2023年,我們記錄了 無形資產減值損失 少於$1 百萬 在第三季度 和$58 在前九個月中記錄了百萬。2023年記錄的減值損失主要與取消一項IPR&D項目相關,因爲完成該項目並將科技推向市場所需的時間和成本增加。
我們每季度審查可折舊的無形資產品,以判斷是否存在不利條件或是否發生了可能表示減值或剩餘使用壽命變化的情況。可能表明減值的條件包括但不限於,法律因素或業務環境的重大不利變化,這可能影響資產的價值,產品召回或監管機構的負面行爲或評估。如果我們判斷基於對減值因數的定性評估,資產更可能減值,我們將測試無形資產的可恢復性。如果無形資產或資產組的賬面價值超過預計來自無形資產或資產組的使用和最終處置的未折現現金流,我們將在識別減值的期間將賬面價值調整爲公允價值。我們每年至少在第三季度對無限期無形資產進行減值測試,並重新評估其作爲無限期資產的分類。此外,如果存在減值因數,我們會更頻繁地審查我們的無限期無形資產的分類和減值情況。
在2024年第三季度,我們進行了年度知識產權與研發減值測試,並評估了我們的無限使用壽命核心科技資產是否減值,結果認爲這些資產沒有減值。我們還在判斷無形資產不再具有無限使用壽命後,將無限使用壽命的核心科技資產重新分類爲可攤銷無形資產,並驗證了在未經審計的合併資產負債表中確認的知識產權與研發項目的分類仍然是適當的。

注意 D – 對沖活動和公允價值計量

衍生工具與對沖活動

我們通過風險管理計劃應對外幣匯率和利率變化帶來的市場風險,這些計劃包括使用衍生金融工具和非衍生金融工具。我們通過將可接受的交易對手限制爲具有投資級信用評級的主要金融機構、限制對單個交易對手的信用敞口金額,並積極監控交易對手的信用評級和單個信用敞口金額來管理交易對手信用風險的集中。我們還採用主淨額協議,將交易對手在特定結算日不付款的風險限制在本應從交易對手收到的淨收益。儘管風險沒有完全消除,但由於這些保護措施,我們不認爲交易對手違約的風險是顯著的。此外,我們的任何衍生金融工具都不需要擔保或其他安防安排,也不包含依賴於我們從任何信用評級機構獲得的信用評級的條款。

貨幣對沖工具

風險管理策略

我們面臨的貨幣兌換匯率變化的風險主要來源於貨幣資產和負債;預測的內部和第三方交易;以及對某些子公司的淨投資。我們在合併的層面上管理貨幣兌換匯率風險,通過利用抵消交易來降低對沖成本。我們採用衍生和非衍生工具,主要是遠期貨幣合同,以減少由於貨幣兌換匯率變動而對我們的收益和現金流造成的風險。

我們的貨幣風險管理計劃的成功部分依賴於主要以歐元、人民幣、日幣、英鎊、澳幣和瑞士計價的預測交易。如果實際活動不同於預測,我們可能會經歷意外的貨幣兌換收益或損失。此外,與任何未對沖交易相關的匯率變動可能會影響我們的收益和現金流。

對沖指定和關係

我們的某些貨幣衍生工具被指定爲根據FASB ASC第815章的現金流對沖。衍生品和對沖 (FASB ASC第815章),目的是保護預測交易的美元價值。 對被指定爲現金流對沖的衍生工具的收益或損失記錄在 衍生金融工具的淨變化 其他綜合收益(損失),扣除稅費 (OCI) 在我們的未經審計的合併綜合收益(損失)報表中,直到相關的第三方交易發生。當相關的第三方交易發生時,我們在收益中確認收益或損失。 產品銷售成本 在我們未經審計的合併經營報表中。如果對沖關係不再有效,或如果對沖預測交易的發生變得不再可能,我們會在此時將收益或損失重新分類到 累計其他綜合收益(損失),稅後淨額 (AOCI)在該時刻轉入收益。與指定爲現金流對沖的衍生工具相關的現金流量在我們未經審計的合併現金流量表中作爲經營活動報告。

我們還將某些遠期貨幣合約指定爲淨投資對沖,以對沖我們在某些以人民幣和日幣計值的實體中的部分淨投資。對於這些衍生工具,我們選擇使用現貨法來評估對沖效果。我們還選擇將現貨-遠期差異(稱爲排除成分)排除在對沖效果評估之外,並根據指定日期的計算,按直線法在遠期合同的期限內單獨攤銷該金額。因此,我們在其他全面收益(CTA)組成部分中推遲確認外匯收益和損失,並將排除成分的攤銷從其他累計全面收益轉移到當前期間收益中。 外幣換算調整 在我們未經審計的合併運營報表中。 利息費用

我們將某些以歐元計價的債務指定爲淨投資對沖,以對沖我們在某些以歐元計價功能貨幣的實體中的部分淨投資。截至2024年9月30日和2023年12月31日,我們將作爲淨投資對沖的我們的€900 百萬總本金額的 0.625%高級票據於2019年11月發行,2027年到期(2027票據)。對於這些非衍生工具,我們將在 其他綜合收益的CTA部分中遞延確認外幣重計損益。我們將這些收益和損失重新分類到當前期間收益中,僅在 其他,淨額 在我們隨附的未經審計的合併經營報表中,僅在對沖項目影響收益時,才會發生這種情況,而這通常是在處置或大規模清算相關外資子公司時發生。

目錄

我們還使用前向貨幣合同,這些合同並不屬於指定的對沖關係,但作爲我們管理與貨幣資產和負債相關的匯率風險及相關預測交易的策略的一部分。這些非指定的貨幣遠期合同具有與對沖貨幣交易風險一致的原始到期時間,通常少於 一年,並且以公允價值的變化進行市值標記,實現的變動記錄在收益中, 其他,淨額 在我們附帶的未經審計的綜合運營報表中。

利率對沖工具

風險管理策略

我們的利率風險主要與美元和歐元指數組成的借款有關,部分通過美元現金投資來抵消。我們使用利率衍生工具來減輕因利率變化而對我們的收益和現金流造成的風險。在這些協議下,我們和對方在指定的時間間隔內交換根據約定的名義本金金額計算的固定與浮動利息之間的差異。我們根據FASB ASC主題815將這些衍生工具指定爲公允價值對沖或現金流對沖。

對沖指定和關係

我們有 2024財年沒有記錄減值損失。 截至2024年9月30日或2023年12月31日,我們持有作爲現金流對沖的利率衍生工具。如果我們指定未結的利率衍生工具作爲現金流對沖,我們將在其他綜合收益中記錄衍生工具公允價值的變化,直到相關對沖交易發生。

我們有 2024財年沒有記錄減值損失。 截至2024年9月30日或2023年12月31日,我們有指定爲公允價值對沖的利率衍生工具未結餘。如果我們將未結的利率衍生工具指定爲公允價值對沖,我們將記錄指定爲公允價值對沖的利率衍生工具及其基礎對沖債務工具的公允價值變動在 利息費用,這通常可以相互抵消。

公允價值計量

FASb ASC主題815要求所有衍生和非衍生工具在資產負債表上以公允價值確認爲資產或負債。我們根據FASb ASC主題820規定的框架來判斷我們衍生和非衍生工具的公允價值, 公允價值計量和披露 (FASb ASC主題820),並考慮在報告日期根據當前的貨幣兌換和利率、對未實現收益頭寸的對方信用狀況以及對未實現損失頭寸的自身信用狀況,估算我們將收到或支付的轉讓這些工具的金額。在某些情況下,我們可能會運用金融模型來衡量我們衍生和非衍生工具的公允價值。在此過程中,我們使用的輸入包括活躍市場中類似資產或負債的報價、在不活躍市場中相同或類似資產或負債的報價、該資產或負債的其他可觀察輸入,以及主要來自於可觀察市場數據或通過相關或其他方式確認的輸入。 以下是我們衍生和非衍生資產和負債的餘額:

定期公允價值計量
我們定期根據報價市場價格對某些金融資產和金融負債進行公允價值計量。當報價市場價格或其他可觀察輸入不可用時,我們應用估值技術來估計公允價值。FASB ASC主題820建立了公允價值計量的三層估值層次結構。金融資產或金融負債在估值層次結構中的類別是基於對公允價值計量具有重要意義的最低輸入水平。該層次結構的三個層級定義如下:
第一級 - 估值方法的輸入爲相同資產或負債的報價市場價格。
第2級——估值方法的輸入包括其他可觀察到的輸入,包括類似資產或負債的報價市場價格以及市場證實的輸入。
第三級 – 估值方法的輸入是基於管理層對市場參與者在計量日期定價資產或負債時使用的輸入的最佳估計而得出的不可觀察輸入,包括關於風險的假設。

循環信用額度

2021年5月10日,我們與一個全球貨幣商業銀行財團簽訂了一份金額爲$的循環信貸協議(根據需要進行修改、補充或其他變更,以下稱爲2021年循環信貸設施)。2.750 在2024年5月10日,我們對2021年循環信貸設施的信貸協議進行了第三次修訂,其中規定了包括將預定到期日延長至2029年5月10日,修訂適用利Margin的評級基礎定價網格,以及重設用於確定可能從合併息稅折舊攤銷前利潤(EBITDA)中排除的重組費用和與重組相關的費用的適用日期,這些在信貸協議中有定義,將其從2022年12月31日改爲2024年3月31日,具體內容將在下文“ 財務契約 下面。 該設施爲我們的商業票據計劃提供支持,未償還的商業票據會直接減少在2021年循環信貸設施下的借款能力。 2024財年沒有記錄減值損失。 截至2024年9月30日或2023年12月31日,我們在2021年循環信貸設施下的未償餘額爲。

財務契約

截至2024年9月30日,我們已遵守2021年循環信貸協議要求的財務契約。
契約要求實際
 截至2024年9月30日截至2024年9月30日
最大允許槓桿比率(1)
3.751.95
(1) 根據2021年循環信貸協議(經修訂),總債務與視爲合併的EBITDA的比率。

2021年循環信貸設施包括我們所有信用安排的財務協定要求,我們維持最大允許槓桿比率爲 3.75 倍,持續到剩餘期限。信用協議規定,對於我們的選擇,在合格收購後的期間,允許更高的槓桿比率,如協議定義的,當考慮金額超過1.000 十億。在發生這樣的收購的情況下,在隨後的四個季度內,包括髮生收購的季度,最大允許槓桿比率爲 4.75 倍。它在第五、第六和第七個隨後季度逐步降低至 4.50 倍, 4.25 倍和 4.00 倍,分別爲。在此之後,最大槓桿比率爲 3.75 倍,需在2021年循環信貸設施的剩餘期限內保持。我們已選擇將Axonics收購指定爲信用協議下的合格收購,並將在交易完成時,提高當時的最大允許槓桿比率。協議還規定,除任何用於資助合格收購而產生的債務外,直到收購關閉日期、收購協議的放棄、終止或到期的日期爲止。截止2024年9月30日,我們在槓桿比率計算中排除了$2.218 在Axonics收購過程中產生的十億債務。

財務契約要求於2024年5月10日進行修訂,規定從信用協議所定義的合併EBITDA的計算中排除某些費用和支出。信用協議的修訂將與重組相關的費用和支出的允許排除的起始日期從2022年12月31日重置爲2024年3月31日。允許的排除包括最多$500 百萬現金和非現金的重組費用和與我們當前或未來重組計劃相關的重組相關費用。截至2024年9月30日,我們還有$401 百萬的重組費用排除剩餘。此外,任何現金訴訟支付(扣除任何現金訴訟收款),如協議所定義,從合併EBITDA的計算中排除,只要任何被排除的淨現金訴訟支付總和不超過$1.000 十億加上截至2022年12月31日的所有應計法律責任。截至2024年9月30日,我們還有$1.442 十億的訴訟排除剩餘。

任何無法遵守該契約的情況可能會要求我們尋求重新談判信貸安排的條款或尋求豁免遵守該契約的要求,這兩者都可能導致額外的借款成本。此外,不能保證我們的貸款方會同意這些新條款或以我們可以接受的條件授予這樣的豁免。在這種情況下,所有2021年循環信貸額度的承諾將終止,任何根據該額度借入的金額將立即到期償還。此外,任何終止我們2021年循環信貸額度的行動可能會對我們商業票據計劃的信用評級產生負面影響,這可能影響我們在商業票據到期時再融資的能力。.

商業票據

我們的商業票據計劃由2021年循環信貸設施支持。我們沒有 截至2024年9月30日或2023年12月31日,未發行任何商業票據。

高級票據

截至2023年12月31日,我們的高級票據未償還金額爲$10.924 十億,以及截至2023年12月31日爲$9.136 十億。我們的高級票據是通過公開發行發行的,可以在到期前贖回,並且不受沉沒基金要求的限制。我們的高級票據是無擔保、無次級的義務,並且彼此平等。這些票據在實質上是次於我們子公司的負債(請參閱 其他安排 以下所述)。

在2024年2月,美國醫療系統歐洲B.V.(AMS Europe),一家波士頓科學的間接全資子公司,完成了一次註冊的公開發行,金額爲歐元指數的2.000 億歐元的高級票據,包括750 百萬美元的 3.375%到期於2029年的高級票據和1.250 億歐元的 3.500%到期於2032年的高級票據(統稱爲2024歐洲債券)。波士頓科學已全面且無條件地保證AMS Europe在2024歐洲債券項下的所有義務,此外還有AMS Europe在歐元計價高級票據項下的所有義務,

目錄

由AMS歐洲於2022年發行的,並且波士頓科學的其他子公司不會擔保這些義務。AMS歐洲是根據《S-X條例》第13-01(a)(4)(vi)條款定義的“融資子公司”。AMS歐洲的財務狀況、經營結果和現金流量被合併到波士頓科學的基本報表中。此次發行的現金收入爲$2.145 十億,扣除投資者折扣和發行成本。

我們利用2024年歐元債券發行的淨收益來償還到期的 3.450% 2024年3月到期的優先票據,並支付與該票據相關的應計和未支付利息。此外,我們計劃使用剩餘的淨收益來支付Axonics收購部分購買價格,支付相關費用和開支,並用於一般企業用途。該交易預計將在2024年第四季度完成,具體取決於根據《HSR法案》等待期的過期或終止以及其他慣例成交條件的滿足(或豁免)。如果(i)Axonics收購未能在(x)2025年1月8日之前或(y)在我們與Axonics可能同意延長合併協議中的"截止日期"的任何後續日期之後的五個工作日內完成,或者(ii) AMS 歐洲通知受託人我們將不追求Axonics收購的完成,AMS 歐洲將被要求以特殊強制贖回價格贖回每個系列的票據,該價格等於 101%該系列票據的總本金金額,加上應計和未支付的利息(如有),直到但不包括將贖回該票據的日期。有關Axonics收購的更多信息,請參閱 注b – 收購和戰略投資 關於Axonics收購的更多信息。

其他安排

我們在某些歐洲國家以及中國和日本的商業銀行提供應收賬款保理計劃,其中包括承兌匯票貼現計劃。我們將我們的保理計劃視爲根據FASB ASC主題860的銷售。 轉讓和服務我們在轉讓的應收款項中沒有保留權益,除了收款和管理,一旦出售,應收賬款將不再用於滿足破產情況下的債權人。 被去除的應收賬款和票據金額,不包括在 交易應收賬款,淨額 在我們附帶的未經審計的合併資產負債表中,按合同計價的貨幣彙總如下(以百萬計):

我們報告的稅率受到重複項目的影響,例如我們在外國法域中適用不同稅率的收入金額以及某些收入和費用的影響,這些收入和費用的稅率與我們持續經營的稅率不同。

在2024年第三季度,來自持續經營的稅率與我們報告的稅率之間的主要差異與某些收購相關的淨費用有關。在2024年前九個月,來自持續經營的稅率與我們報告的稅率之間的主要差異與某些收購相關的淨費用、無形資產減值費用的利益以及主要與基於股票的補償有關的離散稅收利益有關。

在2023年第三季度,持續經營業務的稅率與我們報告的稅率之間的主要差異與訴訟相關費用有關。在2023年前九個月,持續經營業務的稅率與我們報告的稅率之間的主要差異與某些收購相關的淨費用、訴訟相關費用以及與未確認的稅收優惠和基於股票的補償相關的特別稅收利益有關。

截至2024年9月30日,我們有$493 百萬的未確認稅務利益,其中如果確認,淨$417 百萬將影響我們的實際稅率。截至2023年12月31日,我們有$467 百萬的未確認稅務利益,其中如果確認,淨$395 百萬將影響我們的實際稅率。未確認稅務利益的變化主要與當年的準備金和審計相關。

在接下來的12個月內,我們有合理的可能性與外國、聯邦和州稅務機關解決多個問題,從而減少我們未確認稅收收益的餘額,金額可達$9 百萬。

註釋 H – 承諾和或有事項

我們參與的器械市場在很大程度上是由科技驅動的。因此,知識產權,特別是專利和商業祕密,在產品開發和差異化中發揮了重要作用。這些年來,我們受到其他人,包括我們的競爭對手,提起的訴訟,聲稱我們目前或以前的產品侵犯了他們擁有或許可的專利。知識產權訴訟本質上覆雜且不可預測。此外,競爭方經常提出多個訴訟,以利用跨產品線、科技和地理範圍的專利組合,並在各方之間平衡風險和曝光。在某些情況下,幾個競爭對手是同一訴訟中的當事方,或是在一系列相關訴訟中,或者針對單一類別的多項特徵進行訴訟。這些動態通常推動不僅僅是單個案件的和解,還包括一系列待決的可能相關和不相關的案件。雖然通常尋求金錢和禁令救濟,但救濟和補償通常在初審程序結束之前不會確定,並且可以在上訴時進行修改。因此,單個案件的結果往往難以預測、量化,並且通常依賴於其他地理區域其他案件的結果。

近年來,我們成功地解決了幾項長期存在的法律問題,並在其他幾個問題中獲得了有利的裁決;然而,仍然存在未解決的訴訟。這些問題中的一個或多個不利結果可能對我們銷售某些產品的能力以及我們的運營利潤、財務狀況、運營結果和/或流動性產生重大不利影響。

此外,產品責任、證券和商業索賠已對我們提出,並且未來可能會針對目前管理層未知事件對我們提出類似索賠。我們維護一項提供有限證券索賠保障的保險政策,對產品責任索賠我們大部分自保,並且在知識產權侵權索賠方面完全自保。缺乏顯著的第三方保險覆蓋增加了我們對意外索賠或不利裁決的潛在風險。未來的產品責任索賠、證券和商業訴訟以及其他法律程序,無論其結果如何,可能對我們銷售某些產品的能力、經營利潤、財務狀況、經營成果和/或流動性產生重大不利影響。

此外,像其他器械行業的公司一樣,我們受到美國及我們運營的其他國家的國家、州和地方政府機構的嚴格監管。我們不時成爲舉報行動和政府調查的對象,這些調查通常涉及監管、市場營銷和其他業務實踐。這些舉報行動和政府調查可能導致民事和刑事訴訟的開始,重罰、罰款和行政救濟,並對我們的財務狀況、經營成果和/或流動性產生實質性的負面影響。有關更多信息,請參閱 附註 I – 承諾和或有事項 我們最近的10-K表格年度報告第8項中包含的審計財務報表。

根據FASB ASC主題450, 應急預案我們根據歷史經驗或在特定情況下,基於預計的賠償、損害、產品責任索賠的損失及其可預估性,計提和解、損害賠償、以及防禦成本。否則,我們將這些費用記爲費用。如果可能損失的估計區間內沒有任何金額更可能,我們會計提該區間的最低金額。我們對可能和可估算的法律事項的計提金額爲$250 百萬,截至2024年9月30日,金額爲$377 截至2023年12月31日爲止,金額爲百萬,幷包括與產品責任案件或與我們的陰道手術網產品相關的索賠相關的某些預計和解、損害賠償及防禦成本。此計提的一部分已經通過我們的合格和解基金進行了資助,該基金包含在受限現金及受限現金等價物中。 其他流動資產 爲$70 百萬,截至2024年9月30日,金額爲$130 截至2023年12月31日爲百萬。請參閱 注F – 資產負債表補充信息 以獲取更多信息。

我們記錄了一些法律和產品責任費用、信貸及軍工股成本,這些我們認爲是飛凡或不常見且重要的,與訴訟相關的淨費用(信貸)在我們附帶的未經審計的合併基本報表中。 我們在2024年第三季度和前九個月,沒有記錄任何與訴訟相關的淨費用(信貸),並且在2023年第三季度和前九個月,記錄了與侵權專利訴訟和解相關的淨信貸爲$111 百萬。 其他所有的法律和產品責任費用、信貸和成本均記錄在銷售、一般和管理費用中。 在我們附帶的未經審計的合併運營基本報表中。

我們繼續評估某些訴訟和索賠,以判斷管理層認爲將因這些索賠和訴訟而可能支付的金額(如果有的話),因此,未來可能會累積並支付額外的損失,這可能會對我們的運營結果、現金流和/或我們遵守信貸安排所需的財務契約的能力產生重大不利影響。

在管理層看來,除了我們最近在10-K表格的年度報告中披露的法律程序以及以下具體指出的法律程序外,我們目前並未參與任何法律程序,這些法律程序單獨或總體可能會對我們的

對我們的財務控制項、運營和/或現金流產生重大不利影響。除非包含在我們的法律計提中或在下述內容中另有說明,否則任何單一重大法律程序相關的損失區間無法合理估計。

專利訴訟

2017年11月20日,董事會、德克薩斯大學系統和TissueGen。Inc.(統稱 UT)在德克薩斯州西區對我們提起訴訟。針對該公司的投訴指控Ut擁有的兩項美國專利遭到了專利侵權,這兩項專利涉及 “藥物釋放生物降解纖維植入物” 和 “用於提供治療的藥物釋放生物降解纖維”,並影響了我們的Synergy™ 支架系統的製造、使用和銷售。它主要尋求合理的特許權使用費。2018年3月12日,德克薩斯州西區地方法院駁回了該訴訟,並將其移交給美國特拉華地區地方法院。2019年9月5日,聯邦巡迴上訴法院確認了德克薩斯州西區地方法院的駁回。2020年4月,美國最高法院駁回了猶他大學的移審申請。它繼續在特拉華州對該公司提起訴訟。2023年1月,陪審團就該案中仍主張的一項Ut專利是否有效以及該公司是否侵犯了該專利的問題進行了審判。2023年1月31日,陪審團得出結論,UT的專利有效且被公司故意侵犯,並裁定UT $42 百萬美元的損失。審判結束後,Ut提出動議,要求判決前利息和增加賠償金。該公司提出了一項動議,要求作爲法律問題作出有利於自己的判決,或者進行新的審判。2024年6月5日,法院批准了公司的判決動議,認爲該動議沒有故意侵權,但以其他方式駁回了公司的動議。法院還駁回了UT提出的增加賠償金的動議, 裁定賠償額約爲 $7 百萬美元的判決前利息,並判決後的利息。2024年7月3日,猶他州和該公司各自提交了上訴通知書。

產品責任訴訟

針對旨在治療壓力性尿失禁和盆腔器官脫垂的經陰道外科網狀產品,我們在美國、加拿大、英國、蘇格蘭、愛爾蘭和澳洲面臨多起產品責任案件或索賠。原告通常尋求基於與使用我們經陰道外科網狀產品相關的個人傷害指控的貨幣損害賠償,包括設計和製造業索賠、未能警告、違約、欺詐、違反州消費保護法以及失去配偶權益的索賠。我們已經與某些原告律師達成個體和總體和解協議,或處於與他們達成協議的最終階段,以解決大部分案件和索賠。所有和解協議均僅通過妥協方式達成,而不承認或讓步我們任何的責任或錯誤。此外,在2021年4月,公司董事會收到一份基於特拉華州普通公司法第220條的股東請求,要求檢查與網狀和解相關的賬簿和記錄。公司已通知我們的保險公司,並聘請律師回應該請求。

我們已經爲針對我們的陰道手術網產品提出的剩餘索賠建立了產品責任備抵,以及相關的軍事防禦費用。我們繼續與原告律師進行討論,關於潛在解決待決案件和索賠的問題,我們仍在積極抗辯。案件和索賠的最終解決仍不確定,可能對我們的經營結果、財務狀況和/或流動性產生重大影響。涉及我們的陰道手術網產品的審判產生了對我們有利和不利的判決。我們認爲,任何一場審判的判決並不能代表與我們的陰道手術網產品相關的所有案件或索賠的潛在結果。

政府調查和舉報事項

與許多醫療保健公司一樣,公司收到來自政府機構的詢問,並就公司的運營進行持續討論,例如證券交易委員會(SEC)、司法部(DOJ)以及包括越南在內的外國監管機構,涉及公司在2022年3月收到的涉嫌違反《外國腐敗行爲法》(FCPA)的行爲。公司已收到來自DOJ和SEC與越南相關事務的文檔傳票,並正在配合政府調查這些指控。公司不時還會主動向監管機構披露潛在的擔憂。在與DOJ和SEC進行的與越南相關的討論中,公司已披露正在調查越南和其他國家的其他潛在問題。

公司不時收到美國的傳票和司法部民事調查要求(CID),包括以下事項:在2023年4月,公司收到了一份要求提供與其門診心電圖監測業務相關的文件和信息的司法部傳票;在2023年12月,公司收到了與通過辦公室實驗室提供外周介入服務相關的司法部CID。公司正在與司法部就這些事項進行合作。

注意 I – 股東權益

優先股

我們有權發行 50 一個或多個系列的百萬股優先股,用於確定其權力、名稱、優先權和相對參與權、期權或其他權利,包括股息權、轉換權、投票權、贖回條款、清算優惠和構成任何系列的股票數量,無需我們的股東進行任何進一步的投票或行動。

在2020年5月27日,我們完成了一項發行 10,062,500 的股份 5.50%強制可轉換優先股,A系列(MCPS),發行給公衆的價格和清算偏好爲$100 每股。MCPS發行的淨收益約爲$975百萬,扣除承銷折扣、佣金和發行費用後。

在2023年6月1日(強制轉換日期),所有未償還的MCPS自動轉換爲普通股。每股MCPS的轉換比例爲 2.3834 的普通股。MCPS持有人無需採取任何行動進行強制轉換。根據MCPS的條款,現金以替代碎股的方式支付。總共約 24 百萬股普通股,包括在強制轉換日期之前選擇轉換的MCPS持有人所發行的普通股,均在MCPS轉換時發行。在MCPS強制轉換後,不再有未償還的MCPS。

請參閱 備註 J – 股東權益 請參閱我們最近提交的10-K表格年報中的第8項基本報表和補充數據,獲取有關我們已發行普通股相關權利和特權的信息。

對於2023年第三季度和前九個月,假設將MCPS轉換爲普通股的影響是抗稀釋的,因此在每股收益(EPS)的計算中被排除在外。 淨利潤(虧損) 因此, 優先股股息,如我們附帶的未經審計合併經營報表中所示,用於計算 歸屬於波士頓科學普通股東的淨利潤。2023年6月1日,所有未償還的MCPS股份自動轉換爲普通股。

我們在2024年第三季度發行了大約 兩個 百萬股普通股,2024年前九個月發行了大約 百萬股,2023年第三季度發行了大約 兩個 百萬股,2023年前九個月發行了大約 32 百萬股。股份是在期權行使、限制性股票單位歸屬或根據我們的員工股票購買計劃進行購買後發行的,具體而言,2023年前九個月是由於MCPS的自動轉換。我們沒有 在2024年或2023年的前九個月內購回我們普通股的任何股份。2020年12月14日,我們的董事會批准了一項股票回購計劃,授權購買最多$1.000 十億的普通股。截至2024年9月30日,我們仍然有全額可用的授權。

注意 k – 分部報告

我們將核心業務匯聚成 兩個 可報告的細分市場:醫療設備和心血管,每個細分市場都通過出售醫療設備產生收入。根據FASB ASC第280主題, 板塊報告我們根據產品的性質、生產過程、客戶類型、銷售和分銷方法以及監管環境,以及各個運營細分市場的經濟特徵,識別了可報告的細分市場。

我們根據各自的淨銷售額、不包括分部間利潤的營業收入和營業收入佔淨銷售額的百分比來衡量和評估應報告的細分市場,所有這些都基於內部推導的標準貨幣匯率,以排除外幣的影響,外幣可能會逐年更新。我們將某些公司相關費用和我們的首席運營決策者(CODM)認爲非運營的某些交易或調整排除在應申報板塊的營業收入中,例如與攤銷費用、商譽和其他無形資產減值費用、收購/剝離相關的淨費用(貸項)、與重組和重組相關的淨費用(貸項)以及某些與訴訟相關的淨費用(貸項)和歐盟(EU)醫療器械的金額監管(MDR)的實施成本。儘管我們將這些金額從應申報細分市場的營業收入中排除,但它們已包含在報告中 所得稅前收入(虧損) 包含在我們隨附的未經審計的合併運營報表中,幷包含在下面的對賬中。請參閱 附註 L — 收入 按公認會計原則列報的按可申報細分市場劃分的淨銷售額。

註釋 N – 新的會計準則

定期會計準則由財務會計標準委員會(FASB)或其他標準制定機構發佈。最近發佈的標準通常不要求在未來生效日期之前採納。在生效日期之前,我們評估這些準則以判斷其採納對我們伴隨的未經審計的合併基本報表的潛在影響。在2024年的前三個月中,我們實施了以下標準,按前瞻性原則進行,該標準對我們的未經審計合併基本報表沒有重大影響:

ASC更新號2022-03

ASC更新號2022-03, 公允價值計量(主題820):受合同銷售限制的股權證券的公允價值計量 澄清了主題820中關於測量受合同限制禁止出售的股權證券公允價值的指南,同時引入了這些類型股權證券的新披露要求。
36

目錄


要實施的標準

在2023年11月,FASB發佈了ASC更新第2023-07號, segment reporting (主題 280): 可報告分部披露的改進. 更新號2023-07要求在年度和中期基礎上披露定期提供給首席運營決策者的顯著部門費用,幷包含在每個報告的部門利潤或損失的衡量標準中,此外還需披露其他部門項目的金額及其組成描述。更新號2023-07自2023年12月15日後開始的財年以及自2024年12月15日後開始的財年的中期有效。由於該會計準則更新僅影響披露,我們不預計採用會對我們的未經審計合併基本報表產生重大影響。

在2023年12月,FASB發佈了ASC更新第2023-09號, 所得稅(主題740):所得稅披露的改進. 2023-09號更新旨在增強所得稅披露的透明度和決策有效性。2023-09號更新修改了所得稅披露的規則,要求實體披露(1)稅率調和中的具體類別,(2)在所得稅費用或收益之前來自持續經營的收入或損失(按國內和外國分別列示),以及(3)來自持續經營的所得稅費用或收益(按聯邦、州和外國分別列示)。2023-09號更新還要求實體披露其向國際、聯邦、州和地方轄區的所得稅支付,此外還有其他變更。2023-09號更新適用於2024年12月15日之後開始的財政年度。我們預計將從前瞻性地採用2023-09號更新。由於這一會計準則更新僅影響披露,我們預計採用不會對我們的未經審計合併基本報表產生重大影響。

在此期間未制定或生效的其他新會計準則對我們伴隨的未經審計的合併基本報表沒有或預計不會產生重大影響。

截至2024年9月的九個月

During the third quarter of 2024, this increase included operational net sales growth of 29.3 percent and a negative impact of 10 basis points from foreign currency fluctuations, compared to the prior year period. During the first nine months of 2024, this increase included operational net sales growth of 23.1 percent and a negative impact of 110 basis points from foreign currency fluctuations, compared to the prior year period.

兩個時期的運營淨銷售增長主要是由於我們電生理業務的增長,該業務由我們的Farapulse™脈衝場消融系統和我們的導管解決方案組合、WATCHMAN FLX™ LAAC設備和WATCHMAN FLX™ Pro LAAC設備在左心房附屬物封堵(LAAC)手術的持續市場滲透,以及我們的經皮冠狀動脈介入指導系列所推動。

外周干預

我們的外圍介入業務開發和製造用於診斷和治療周邊動脈和靜脈疾病的產品,以及用於診斷、治療和緩解各種形式癌症的產品。在2024年第三季度,外圍介入產品的淨銷售額爲60200萬美元,前九個月的淨銷售額爲17.65億美元,分別佔我們兩個時期合併淨銷售額的14%。 與去年同期相比,外圍介入的淨銷售額在第三季度增加了6400萬美元,增長了11.8%,在2024年前九個月增加了18800萬美元,增長了11.9%。在2024年第三季度,增幅包括12.0%的運營淨銷售增長,以及因外匯波動帶來的負面影響爲10個點子,與去年同期相比。在2024年前九個月,增幅包括13.4%的運營淨銷售增長,以及因外匯波動帶來的負面影響爲140個點子,與去年同期相比。

2024年第三季度的運營淨銷售增長包括10.3%的有機淨銷售增長,以及由於我們在2024年第三季度收購Silk Road Medical帶來的170個點子的積極影響。2024年前九個月的運營淨銷售增長包括10.3%的有機淨銷售增長,以及由於我們在2023年第一季度及2024年第三季度對Acotec的控股投資和收購Silk Road Medical帶來的300個點子的積極影響。兩個時期的有機淨銷售增長主要由我們的介入腫瘤業務推動,該業務以Therasphere™ Y-90放射性玻璃微球和EMBOLD™纖維線圈爲主,以及我們在血管業務中以Ranger™藥物塗層氣球爲主的藥物洗脫產品組合。

新興市場

作爲我們推動全球擴展的戰略措施的一部分,我們尋求通過擴大我們的全球影響力來增加淨銷售額和市場份額,包括在新興市場。我們定期評估新興市場國家的名單,並自2023年1月1日起,修改我們的名單,包括所有國家,除了美國、西歐和中歐、日本、澳洲、新西蘭和加拿大。

我們的新興市場淨銷售額佔我們合併淨銷售額的16%在2024年的第三季度和前九個月,分別佔17%和16%;在2023年的第三季度和前九個月,分別佔17%和16%。在2024年的第三季度,我們的新增市場淨銷售額按報告計算增長了15.2%,其中包括16.8%的運營淨銷售增長,以及相比於去年同期受到150個點子的貨幣波動負面影響。在2024年前九個月,我們的新增市場淨銷售額按報告計算增長了17.3%,其中包括21.2%的運營淨銷售增長,以及相比於去年同期受到380個點子的貨幣波動負面影響。 在前一年期間, 這兩個時期的運營增長主要是由中國的增長推動的,這得益於我們產品組合的廣度、創新的專注和強有力的商業執行。

經濟環境

我們的業務受到全球供應鏈中斷的影響,這種情況在最近幾個季度有所改善,但仍然存在挑戰。由於全球供應鏈的約束和持續的通貨膨脹,以及工資成本的增加和我們產品的分發成本及時間的增加,我們經歷了可能繼續經歷某些原材料、元件和其他製造和分發我們產品所需的輸入的成本上升和供應限制。關於通脹壓力、利率期貨、貨幣政策和稅法變化的不確定性,可能會導致我們面臨新的或加劇的經濟挑戰,包括外匯波動對我們經營結果的影響,或導致經濟下滑或衰退,這可能會對我們的業務運營和結果產生負面影響。當前和未來潛在的地緣政治動態,包括與俄羅斯/烏克蘭戰爭、以色列/哈馬斯戰爭以及該地域板塊更廣泛衝突有關的問題,以及臺灣海峽的緊張局勢,可能會帶來經濟、供應鏈、能源和其他挑戰,包括對業務運營的干擾,這影響,並可能在未來對我們的業務產生負面影響。尤其是,國際衝突可能會帶來不穩定,導致進一步制裁、關稅和其他限制國際交易的措施,可能會對我們的業務運營和結果產生負面影響。

Gross profit margin remained flat in the third quarter of 2024 and decreased in the first nine months of 2024, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The primary factors that impacted gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2024 were increased sales of higher margin products, offset by strategic manufacturing capacity investments to support future growth, inventory charges and other period expenses. The primary factors that contributed to the decrease in the first nine months of 2024 were inventory charges, including related to the POLARx™ cryoablation system given the strong commercial adoption of our Farapulse™ Pulsed Field Ablation System, strategic manufacturing capacity investments and other period expenses, partially offset by increased sales of higher margin products.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses407 9.7 %356 10.1 %1,156 9.5 %1,051 10.0 %

Selling, General and Administrative expenses (SG&A Expenses)

During the third quarter of 2024, SG&A expenses increased $320 million, or 26 percent, compared to the prior year period and were 190 basis points higher as a percentage of net sales. During the first nine months of 2024, SG&A expenses increased $561 million, or 15 percent, compared to the prior year period and were 30 basis points lower as a percentage of net sales. The increase in SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2024 was driven in part by comparatively higher acquisition-related expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses in both periods was primarily due to higher selling costs driven by higher global net sales and costs to support recent and upcoming product launches, including the Farapulse™ Pulsed Field Ablation System.

Research and Development expenses (R&D Expenses)

We remain committed to advancing medical technologies and investing in meaningful R&D projects across our businesses. During the third quarter of 2024, R&D expenses increased $51 million, or 14 percent, compared to the prior year period and were 40 basis points lower as a percentage of net sales. During the first nine months of 2024, R&D expenses increased $104 million, or 10 percent, compared to the prior year period, and were 50 basis points lower as a percentage of net sales. R&D expenses increased in both periods as a result of investments across our businesses in order to maintain a pipeline of new products that we believe will contribute to profitable sales growth.

Other Operating Expenses

The following provides a summary of certain of our other operating expenses, which are excluded by management for purposes of evaluating operating performance; refer to Additional Information for a further description.

Amortization Expense

During the third quarter of 2024, Amortization expense decreased $3 million, or 1 percent, compared to the prior year period. In the first nine months of 2024, Amortization expense increased $11 million, or 2 percent, compared to the prior year period.

Intangible Asset Impairment Charges

In 2024, we did not record any Intangible asset impairment charges in the third quarter and recorded $276 million in the first nine months. In 2023, we recorded Intangible asset impairment charges of less than $1 million in the third quarter and $58 million in the first nine months. The impairment charges recorded in 2024 were associated with amortizable intangible assets established in connection with our acquisitions of Cryterion Medical, Inc. (Cryterion) and Devoro Medical, Inc. (Devoro), which were integrated into our Electrophysiology and Peripheral Interventions business units, respectively. Intangible assets acquired from Cryterion were impaired due to strong commercial adoption of our Farapulse™ Pulsed Field Ablation System and the resulting lower revenue projections and cannibalization of our cryoablation business in major markets like the U.S. Intangible assets acquired from Devoro were impaired following management's decision to cancel the related program in the second quarter of 2024. The impairment charges recorded in 2023 were primarily associated with the cancellation of an IPR&D program due to the incremental time and cost to complete the program and bring the technology to market.

Refer to Note C – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates contained in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details and a discussion of key assumptions used in our intangible asset impairment testing and future events that could have a negative impact on the recoverability of our intangible assets.

Contingent Consideration Net Expense (Benefit)

To recognize changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration liability, we recorded net benefits of $23 million and $4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively. We recorded net charges of $12 million and $43 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively. The net benefits recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 related to a decrease in expected payments for achievement of revenue-based earn outs. The net charges recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 related to an increase in expected payments for achievement of commercialization-based milestones and revenue-based payments as a result of over-performance. In addition, we made payments of $232 million and $73 million associated with prior acquisitions during the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively, following the achievement of revenue-based earnouts. Refer to Note B – Acquisitions and Strategic Investments to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details related to our contingent consideration arrangements.

Restructuring and Restructuring-related Net Charges (Credits)

On February 22, 2023, our Board of Directors approved, and we committed to, a new global restructuring program (the 2023 Restructuring Plan). The 2023 Restructuring Plan will advance our Global Supply Chain Optimization strategy, which is intended to simplify our manufacturing and distribution network by transferring certain production lines among facilities and drive operational efficiencies and resiliency. Key activities under the 2023 Restructuring Plan will also include optimizing certain functional capabilities to achieve cost synergies and better support business growth. For more information, refer to 2023 Restructuring Plan contained in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Pursuant to the 2023 Restructuring Plan, we recorded restructuring charges in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations of $8 million and $12 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively. The restructuring reserve balance was $31 million as of September 30, 2024. In addition, we recorded restructuring-related charges of $44 million and $136 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, primarily within Cost of products sold and SG&A Expenses. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, we recorded restructuring charges of $15 million and $51 million, respectively, and restructuring-related charges of $32 million and $82 million, respectively, and the restructuring reserve balance as of December 31, 2023 was $41 million.

Litigation-related Net Charges (Credits)

We did not record any litigation-related net charges (credits) during the third quarter and first nine months of 2024. We recorded litigation-related net credits of $111 million during the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 related to the settlement of offensive patent litigation. We record certain legal and product liability charges, credits and costs of defense, which we consider to be unusual or infrequent and significant as Litigation-related net charges (credits) within our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. All other legal and product liability charges, credits and costs are recorded within SG&A expenses.

We continue to assess certain litigation and claims to determine the amounts, if any, that management believes will be paid as a result of such claims and litigation, and therefore, additional losses may be accrued and paid in the future, which could materially adversely impact our operating results, cash flows and/or our ability to comply with the financial covenant required by our credit arrangements. Refer to Note H – Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for discussion of our material legal proceedings.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Average borrowing rate2.8 %2.8 %2.8 %2.8 %

Interest expense increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to increased debt from the registered public offering of €2.000 billion in aggregate principal amount of euro-denominated senior notes (the 2024 Eurobonds) during the first quarter of 2024. Our average borrowing rate remained flat during the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 compared to the prior year periods. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources and Note E – Contractual Obligations and Commitments to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information regarding our debt obligations. Interest income increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to higher average cash balances invested in each period as a result of the registered public offering of the 2024 Eurobonds during the first quarter of 2024. Interest income is recorded in Other, net within our accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations.

Tax Rate

Effective January 1, 2024, many countries where we do business, including the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Canada and many EU member states, adopted a global minimum effective tax rate of 15% based on the Pillar Two framework issued by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Other countries where we do business are also actively considering adopting the framework or are in various stages of enacting the framework into their country’s laws. While the Company continues to monitor legislative adoption of the Pillar Two rules by country, as well as for additional guidance from the OECD, there is significant uncertainty that exists regarding the interpretation of the detailed Pillar Two rules, whether such rules will be implemented consistently across taxing jurisdictions, how such rules interact with existing national tax laws and whether such rules are consistent with existing tax treaty obligations. Although the current impact of the adoption of a global minimum effective tax on our financial statements is not material, it is possible that the final adoption, implementation, and interpretation of Pillar Two across all jurisdictions where we do business could have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

Our operations presently benefit from various tax provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs act which are set to expire in 2025. If future legislation is unable to extend or modify these provisions, this could have a material adverse impact on our overall effective tax rate, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial results are affected by the selection and application of accounting policies and methods. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, there were no material changes to the application of critical accounting policies previously disclosed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on our current business plan, we believe our existing balance of Cash and cash equivalents, future cash generated from operations, access to capital markets and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our operations, invest in our infrastructure, pay our legal-related liabilities, pay taxes due, service and repay our existing debt and fund possible acquisitions for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.

As of September 30, 2024, we had $2.502 billion of unrestricted Cash and cash equivalents on hand, including approximately $67 million held by Acotec, a less than wholly owned entity of which we acquired a majority stake investment during the first quarter of 2023. The balance is comprised of $1.733 billion invested in money market funds and time deposits and $803 million in interest bearing and non-interest-bearing bank accounts. We invest excess cash on hand in short-term financial instruments that earn at market interest rates while mitigating principal risk through instrument and counterparty diversification, as well as what we believe to be prudent instrument selection. We limit our direct exposure to securities in any one industry or issuer.

In 2021, we entered into our $2.750 billion revolving credit facility (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility) with a global syndicate of commercial banks. On May 10, 2024, we entered into a third amendment to the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility credit agreement, which provided for, among other things, an extension of the scheduled maturity date to May 10, 2029, an amendment of the Ratings based pricing grid of the Applicable Margin, each as defined in the credit agreement, and reset the applicable date for purposes of determining the amounts of restructuring charges and restructuring-related expenses that may be excluded from consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), as defined by the credit agreement, for purposes of our maximum leverage ratio covenant, from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2024, as further discussed under Financial Covenant below. This facility provides backing for our commercial paper program, and outstanding commercial paper directly reduces borrowing capacity under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. There were no amounts outstanding under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility or our commercial paper program as of September 30, 2024, resulting in an additional $2.750 billion of available liquidity.

For additional details related to our debt obligations, including our financial covenant requirement, refer to Note E – Contractual Obligations and Commitments to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following provides a summary and description of our net cash inflows (outflows):
Nine Months Ended September 30,

Cash provided by (used for) operating activities$1,979 $1,546 
Cash provided by (used for) investing activities(1,983)(1,521)
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities1,600 (10)

Operating Activities

During the first nine months of 2024, cash provided by (used for) operating activities increased $433 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher operating income and slower inventory buildup due to improved macroeconomic supply chain conditions, offset by higher income tax and employee related payments.

Investing Activities

During the first nine months of 2024, cash provided by (used for) investing activities included cash payments of $1.222 billion for acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, primarily related to the acquisition of Silk Road Medical, purchases of property, plant and equipment and internal use software of $513 million as well as payments for investments and acquisitions of certain technologies, net of investment proceeds of $264 million. During the first nine months of 2023, cash used for investing activities included cash payments of $1.018 billion, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of Apollo and a majority stake investment in Acotec, as well as purchases of property, plant and equipment and internal use software of $444 million. For more information on our acquisitions, refer to Note B – Acquisitions and Strategic Investments to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Financing Activities

During the first nine months of 2024, cash provided by (used for) financing activities included the registered public offering of the 2024 Eurobonds. The offering resulted in cash proceeds of $2.145 billion, net of investor discounts and issuance costs. We used the net proceeds from the offering of the 2024 Eurobonds to fund the repayment at maturity of our 3.450% Senior Notes due March 2024 and to pay accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such notes. Additionally, we plan to use the remaining net proceeds from the offering to fund a portion of the purchase price of our announced agreement to acquire Axonics, Inc. (Axonics) and to pay related fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes. If the Axonics acquisition is not consummated by the applicable outside date pursuant to the merger agreement or we choose to not pursue consummation of the acquisition, we will be required to redeem each series of the notes at a special mandatory redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such series of notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date on which the notes will be redeemed. For more information, refer to Note E – Contractual Obligations and Commitments to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Cash provided by (used for) financing activities in the first nine months of 2023 included proceeds from issuances of common stock pursuant to employee stock compensation and purchase plans of $165 million, cash used to net share settle employee equity awards of $54 million and payments of contingent consideration previously established in purchase accounting of $39 million.

Financial Covenant

As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the financial covenant required by the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.

The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility includes the financial covenant requirement for all of our credit arrangements that we maintain the maximum permitted leverage ratio of 3.75 times for the remaining term. The credit agreement provides for higher leverage ratios, at our election, for the period following a Qualified Acquisition, as defined by the agreement, for which consideration exceeds $1.000 billion. In the event of such an acquisition, for the four succeeding quarters immediately following, including the quarter in which the acquisition occurs, the maximum permitted leverage ratio is 4.75 times. It steps down for the fifth, sixth and seventh succeeding quarters to 4.50 times, 4.25 times and 4.00 times, respectively. Thereafter, a maximum leverage ratio of 3.75 times is required through the remaining term of the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility. We have elected to designate the Axonics acquisition as a Qualified Acquisition under the credit agreement, and upon closing, will increase the maximum permitted leverage ratio at that time. The agreement also provides for an exclusion of any debt incurred to fund a Qualified Acquisition, until the earlier of the acquisition close date or date of abandonment, termination or expiration
49

Table of Contents

of the acquisition agreement. As of September 30, 2024, we excluded from our leverage ratio calculation $2.218 billion of debt incurred in connection with the Axonics acquisition. We believe that we have the ability to comply with the financial covenant for the next 12 months.

The financial covenant requirement, as amended on May 10, 2024, provides for an exclusion from the calculation of consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the credit agreement, through maturity, of certain charges and expenses. The credit agreement amendment reset the starting date for purposes of calculating such permitted exclusions related to restructuring charges and restructuring-related expenses from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2024. Permitted exclusions include up to $500 million in cash and non-cash restructuring charges and restructuring-related expenses associated with our current or future restructuring plans. As of September 30, 2024, we had $401 million of the restructuring charge exclusion remaining. In addition, any cash litigation payments (net of any cash litigation receipts), as defined by the agreement, are excluded from the calculation of consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the agreement, provided that the sum of any excluded net cash litigation payments do not exceed $1.000 billion plus all accrued legal liabilities as of December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2024, we had $1.442 billion of the litigation exclusion remaining.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments

On January 8, 2024, we announced our entry into a definitive agreement to acquire 100 percent of Axonics, a publicly traded medical technology company primarily focused on the development and commercialization of devices to treat urinary and bowel dysfunction. The purchase price is $71.00 in cash per share, or approximately $3.670 billion. On April 3, 2024, we and Axonics each received a request for additional information (Second Request) from the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in connection with the FTC's review of the transaction. The issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (HSR Act), until 30 days after both we and Axonics have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated earlier by the FTC. We and Axonics have responded to the Second Request and continue to work cooperatively with the FTC in its review. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the satisfaction (or waiver) of other customary closing conditions. We plan to fund the acquisition through a mix of cash on hand, commercial paper and net proceeds from the offering of the 2024 Eurobonds. The Axonics business will be integrated into our Urology division.

Certain of our acquisitions involve the payment of contingent consideration. Refer to Note B – Acquisitions and Strategic Investments to our unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details regarding the estimated potential amount of future contingent consideration we could be required to pay associated with our acquisitions. There have been no other material changes to our contractual obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2024.

Equity

On June 1, 2023, in accordance with the terms of our MCPS, all outstanding shares of MCPS automatically converted into shares of common stock. No action by the holders of the MCPS was required in connection with the mandatory conversion. The conversion rate for each share of MCPS was 2.3834 shares of common stock. Cash was paid in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with the terms of the MCPS. An aggregate of approximately 24 million shares of common stock, including shares of common stock issued to holders of MCPS that elected to convert prior to the mandatory conversion date, were issued upon conversion of the MCPS. Following the mandatory conversion of the MCPS, there were no outstanding shares of MCPS, resulting in the retirement of the annualized approximately $55 million cash dividend payment on the MCPS.

We received $202 million during the first nine months of 2024 and $165 million during the first nine months of 2023 in proceeds from stock issuances related to our stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options and employee stock purchases vary from period to period based upon, among other factors, fluctuations in the trading price of our common stock and in the exercise and stock purchase patterns of our employees.

We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the first nine months of 2024 or 2023. On December 14, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $1.000 billion of our common stock. As of September 30, 2024, we had the full amount remaining available under the authorization.

Additional Information

Corporate Responsibility

Our sustainable environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices underpin all aspects of our global business. Our approach is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and our material topics and practices are informed by a broad range of internal and external stakeholders – locally, nationally and globally. Our employees around the world work with suppliers and other organizations that share our commitment to these practices that help address issues related to health inequity, economic disparity, climate change and environmental protection. Our global ESG vision and strategy is led by our ESG Executive Steering Committee and our vice president of ESG, who provides regular updates to our Board of Directors or committees thereof as appropriate. Our ESG team works closely with subject matter experts and key advisors from across the business to implement our ESG practices and determine how we measure and share progress. The importance of our ESG efforts is reinforced by a company wide scorecard that is part of our annual bonus program.

Stock Trading Policy

Our directors and executive officers are subject to our Stock Trading Policy, which is designed to facilitate compliance with insider trading laws and governs transactions in our common stock and related derivative securities. Our policy designates certain regular periods, dictated by release of financial results, in which trading is restricted for individuals in information-sensitive positions, including directors and executive officers. In addition, additional periods of trading restriction may be imposed as determined by the President and Chief Executive Officer, General Counsel, or Chief Financial Officer in light of material pending developments. Further, during permitted windows, certain individuals in information-sensitive positions are required to seek pre-clearance for trades from the General Counsel, who assesses whether there are any important pending developments which need to be made public before the individual may participate in the market.

Periodically, certain of our executive officers adopt written stock trading plans in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and our own Stock Trading Policy. A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a written document that pre-establishes the amount, prices and dates (or formulas for determining the amounts, prices and dates) of future purchases or sales of our stock, including shares issued upon exercise of stock options or vesting of restricted stock units. These plans are entered into at a time when the person is not in possession of material non-public information about the Company. In addition to any plans described in Part II, Item 5 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we disclose details regarding individual Rule 10b5-1 trading plans on the Investor Relations section of our website.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share (EPS) that exclude certain charges (credits); operational net sales, which exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations; and organic net sales, which exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations as well as the impact of acquisitions and divestitures with less than a full period of comparable net sales. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from or as a replacement for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Further, other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, which may limit the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

To calculate adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share, we exclude certain charges (credits) from GAAP net income and GAAP net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders, which include amortization expense, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition/divestiture-related net charges (credits), investment portfolio net losses (gains) and impairments, restructuring and restructuring-related net charges (credits), certain litigation-related net charges (credits), EU MDR implementation costs, debt extinguishment net charges, deferred tax expenses (benefits) and certain discrete tax items. Amounts are presented after-tax using our effective tax rate, unless the amount is a significant unusual or infrequently occurring item in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740-270-30, “General Methodology and Use of Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate.” Please refer to Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for an explanation of each of these adjustments and the reasons for excluding each item.

The GAAP financial measures most directly comparable to adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share are GAAP net income (loss), GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and GAAP net income (loss) per common share – diluted, respectively.

To calculate operational net sales growth rates, which exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, we convert actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior periods. To calculate organic net sales growth rates, we also remove the impact of acquisitions and divestitures with less than a full period of comparable net sales. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to operational net sales and organic net sales is net sales reported on a GAAP basis.

Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are included in the relevant sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to assess our performance relative to our competitors and to establish operational goals
52

Table of Contents

and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to further its understanding of the performance of our operating segments. The adjustments excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are consistent with those excluded from our operating segments’ measures of net sales and profit or loss. These adjustments are excluded from the segment measures reported to our chief operating decision maker that are used to make operating decisions and assess performance.

We believe that presenting adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders, adjusted net income (loss) per share, operational net sales and organic net sales growth rates, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides investors greater transparency to the information used by management for its operational decision-making and allows investors to see our results “through the eyes” of management. We further believe that providing this information assists our investors in understanding our operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.

項目3。關於市場風險的定量和定性披露

我們在全球開發、製造和銷售醫療設備,我們的收益和現金流面臨由於匯率和利率變化帶來的市場風險。我們通過一個風險管理程序來應對這些風險,該程序包括使用衍生金融工具。我們根據記錄的公司風險管理政策來運營該程序。我們不會出於投機目的進行衍生交易。衍生金融工具的收益和損失基本上抵消了對沖基礎風險的損失和收益。此外,我們通過與多家主要金融機構簽訂合同並積極監控未結頭寸,來管理我們在衍生工具上的對手方風險。

我們的貨幣風險主要由外幣計價的公司承諾、預計的外幣計價的內部和第三方交易以及對某些子公司的淨投資組成。我們使用非衍生工具(主要是歐洲製造業)和衍生工具來管理我們對匯率變化的收益和現金流的風險。截止2024年9月30日,我們的貨幣衍生工具合同金額爲64.71億美元,截止2023年12月31日爲58.99億美元。相對於對沖貨幣,美元價值的10%升值將使截至2024年9月30日的衍生工具公允價值增加36700萬美元,而截至2023年12月31日則增加23600萬美元。相對於對沖貨幣,美元價值的10%貶值將使截至2024年9月30日的衍生工具公允價值減少44900萬美元,而截至2023年12月31日則減少28800萬美元。我們對匯率敏感的衍生工具的公允價值的任何增加或減少都將被對沖基礎資產、負債或預計交易的公允價值的相應減少或增加所大幅抵消,從而對我們未經審計的合併經營報表產生最小影響。

我們的利率風險主要與美元和歐元計價的借款相關,部分由美元現金投資對沖。我們歷史上使用利率衍生工具來管理我們的收益和現金流對利率變化的敞口。截至2024年9月30日和2023年12月31日,我們沒有未到期的利率衍生工具。截至2024年9月30日,我們的未償還債務義務中,有109.24億美元的總本金金額爲固定利率,佔我們總債務的約100%,按攤銷成本計算。截至2024年9月30日,我們的未償還債務義務以固定利率計價,主要由高級票據組成。

項目4。控制項和程序

信息披露控制和程序的評估

我們的管理層,在我們的總裁兼首席執行官(CEO)和我們的執行副總裁兼財務長(CFO)的參與下,評估了截至2024年9月30日我們的披露控制和程序的有效性,這符合1934年證券交易法修正案第13a-15(b)條的規定。披露控制和程序旨在確保我們在根據1934年證券交易法修正案提交或提交的報告中需要披露的重要信息,在證券交易委員會的規則和表格規定的時間段內被記錄、處理、彙總和報告,並確保這些重要信息被彙總並傳達給我們的管理層,包括我們的CEO和CFO,以便及時就所需的披露作出決策。根據他們的評估,我們的CEO和CFO得出結論,截至2024年9月30日,我們的披露控制和程序是有效的。

財務報告內部控制的變更

在2022年,我們開始實施一個新的全球企業資源規劃(ERP)系統的多年計劃,該系統將取代我們現有的系統。預計實施將在未來幾年分階段進行。到目前爲止,我們完成的新ERP系統轉換部分導致了2023年我們內部財務報告控制的變化。在2024年前九個月沒有發生任何變化。隨着未來各階段的實施,我們預計這些變化將對我們的財務報告內部控制產生重大影響,我們將評估這些過程變化是否需要進一步變化,以設計和測試財務報告內部控制的有效性。
