NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release also references “adjusted net earnings,” “adjusted diluted net earnings per share,” “adjusted EBITDA”, “adjusted EBITDA margin”, “free cash flow,” and “core revenue growth,” which are non-GAAP financial measures. The reasons why we believe these measures, when used in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures, provide useful information to investors, how management uses such non-GAAP financial measures, a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these measures are included in the supplemental reconciliation schedule attached. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the GAAP financial measures, but should instead be read in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures used by Fortive in this release may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. With respect to forward-looking non-GAAP measures, we have not reconciled with, or presented, corresponding forward-looking GAAP measures since doing so would require us to make assumptions with precision about acquisitions, currency translations, capital and other expenses and other similar adjustments during the future periods.

FORTIVE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

AND OTHER INFORMATION

Management believes that each of the non-GAAP financial measures described below provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing aspects of our operations that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitate comparisons of our operational performance and profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.

The information presented below reflect GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations for the non-GAAP measures of Fortive on a continuing operations basis.

These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted Net Earnings, Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We disclose the consolidated non-GAAP measures of adjusted net earnings, adjusted diluted net earnings per share, and the non-GAAP measures of adjusted earnings before income taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), and adjusted EBITDA margin, which to the extent applicable, make the following adjustments to GAAP net earnings, and GAAP diluted net earnings per share:

•Excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition related intangible assets;

•Excluding on a pretax basis acquisition, divestiture, and Separation related items;

•Excluding on a pretax basis the costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different from ongoing productivity improvements in terms of the size, strategic nature, planning requirements and the inconsistent frequency of such plans as well as the associated macroeconomic drivers which underlie such plans (the “Discrete Restructuring Charges”);

•Excluding on a pretax basis the effect of foreign currency transaction gains and losses related to Euro-denominated debt;

In addition to the adjustments noted above, with respect to the consolidated non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, we make the following adjustments to GAAP net earnings before income taxes:

•Excluding on a pretax basis net interest expense;

•Excluding on a pretax basis depreciation expense; and

•Excluding income taxes.

In addition to the adjustments noted above, with respect to the non-GAAP measures of adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted net earnings per share, we make the following adjustments to GAAP net earnings and GAAP diluted net earnings per share:

•Excluding the tax effect (to the extent tax deductible) of the pretax adjustments noted above. The tax effect of such adjustments was calculated by applying our overall estimated effective tax rate to the pretax amount of each adjustment (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).

We also disclose for each segment of Fortive, the non-GAAP measures of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, which to the extent applicable, make the following adjustments to GAAP operating profit for the corresponding segment, which is deemed to be the most comparable GAAP measure given interest and taxes are not incurred at the segment level:

•Excluding on a pretax basis amortization of acquisition related intangible assets;

•Excluding on a pretax basis acquisition and divestiture related items;

•Excluding on a pretax basis Discrete Restructuring Charges; and

•Excluding on a pretax basis depreciation expense.

Amortization of Acquisition Related Intangible Assets

As a result of our acquisition activity, we have significant amortization expense associated with definite-lived intangible assets. We adjust for amortization expense of acquisition related intangible assets incurred in each period, and impairment charges incurred, if any. We believe that this adjustment provides our investors with additional insight into our operational performance and profitability as such impacts are not related to our core business performance.

Acquisition, Divestiture, and Separation Related Items

While we have a history of acquisition and divestiture activity, we do not acquire and divest businesses or assets on a predictable cycle. The amount of an acquisition’s purchase price allocated to inventory fair value adjustments are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. In addition, transaction costs, which include acquisition, divestiture, integration, restructuring, and separation costs related to completed or announced transactions are unique to each transaction and are impacted from period to period depending on the number of acquisitions or divestitures evaluated, pending, or completed during such period, and the complexity of such transactions. We adjust for transaction costs, incremental costs related to the Separation, integration costs and corresponding restructuring charges related to acquisitions, in each case, incurred in a given period. Restructuring costs related to the Separation are not included in this adjustment but are instead included in Discrete Restructuring Costs.

Discrete Restructuring Costs

We will exclude costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Fortive Business System or from execution of general cost saving strategies. These discrete restructuring plans differ in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, and are often triggered by significant macroeconomic shifts, significant divestitures such as the Separation, or material operational, economic or capital market disruptions. Because these restructuring plans will be incremental to the fundamental activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating costs in a given period, we exclude these costs to facilitate a more consistent comparison of operating results over time. Restructuring costs related primarily to an acquisition as opposed to dispositions are not included in this adjustment but are instead included in acquisition related items. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we initiated a discrete restructuring plan related to the Separation that is expected to be completed by the second half of 2026.

Foreign Currency Transaction Gains and Losses Related to Euro-denominated Debt

We adjust for the effect of unrealized foreign currency transaction gains and losses on the remeasurement of Euro-denominated debt that are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purpose. As the fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates continue to remain volatile, we believe this adjustment facilitates comparison of our performance with prior and future periods and provides our investors with additional insight into our operational performance.

Core Revenue Growth

We use the term “core revenue growth” when referring to a corresponding year-over-year GAAP revenue measure, excluding (1) the impact from acquired or divested businesses and (2) the impact of foreign currency translation. References to sales attributable to acquisitions or acquired businesses refer to GAAP sales from acquired businesses recorded prior to the first anniversary of the acquisition less the amount of sales attributable to certain divested businesses or product lines that have been divested or, at the time of reporting, are pending divestiture but are not, and will not be, considered discontinued operations prior to the first anniversary of the divestiture. The portion of sales attributable to the impact of currency translation is calculated as the difference between (a) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) and (b) the period-to-period change in sales (excluding sales impact from acquired businesses) after applying the current period foreign exchange rates to the prior year period. This non-GAAP measure 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 this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors by helping identify underlying growth trends in our business and facilitating comparisons of our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers. We exclude the effect of acquisition and divestiture-related items because the nature, size and number of such transactions can vary dramatically from period to period and between us and our peers. We exclude the effect of currency translation from sales measures because currency translation is not under management’s control and is subject to volatility. We believe that such exclusions, when presented with the corresponding GAAP measures, may assist in assessing the business trends and making comparisons of long-term performance.

Free Cash Flow

We use the term “free cash flow” when referring to net cash provided by operating activities calculated according to GAAP less payments for capital expenditures.

Management believes that such non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors in assessing our ability to generate cash without external financing, fund acquisitions and other investments and, in the absence of refinancing, repay our debt obligations. However, it should be noted that free cash flow as a liquidity measure has material limitations because it excludes certain expenditures that are required or that we have committed to, such as debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures. Such non-GAAP measure 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.
