| Other Commitments and Contingencies | 9 Other Commitments and Contingencies The Company licenses certain technology and software from third parties in the ordinary course of business. Future minimum fees payable under existing technology and software license agreements as of September 27, 2025 are $ 74 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and thereafter. The software license agreements are long-term contracts and are not cancellable by the Company until the expiration of their initial term. The amounts owed under these contracts are included in both other assets and other long-term liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 27, 2025. In December 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the implementation of a new worldwide enterprise resource planning system (“ERP”). The Company anticipates spending approximately $130 million on the ERP implementation over the next three years. The Company expects to use existing cash and its credit facility to fund the ERP implementation. For the nine months ended September 27, 2025, the Company has incurred $20 million of capitalized costs included in other assets and $14 million of operating costs included in the consolidated statement of operations for the ERP system implementation. The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in its ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s business partners or customers, in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to its current products, as well as claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by the Company or its subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Historically, the Company’s costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal and management accordingly believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial. The Merger Agreement related to BD’s Biosciences & Diagnostic Solutions business contains specified termination rights that requires the Company to pay BD a termination fee of $733 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances. In addition, in connection with the Merger, the Company has incurred approximately $50 million of transaction-related expenses and financing costs through September 27, 2025. Based on information available through the date of this report, if the Merger closes, the Company estimates it will incur transaction-related expenses and financing fees of approximately $140 million in total . |
