Acquisitions ACQUISITIONS
We acquire stock in companies and various assets that continue
to support our capital deployment and product development
strategies. Cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired was
$4,960 and $1,628 in 2025 and 2024.
In February 2025 we completed the acquisition of Inari for $80
per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $4,810, net of cash
acquired. Inari's product portfolio includes minimally invasive
products for the treatment of venous thromboembolism. Inari is
part of our Peripheral Vascular business within MedSurg and
Neurotechnology. The purchase price allocation for Inari is based
on preliminary valuations, primarily related to developed
technologies and customer relationships. Goodwill attributable to
the acquisition reflects the strategic benefits of expanding our
market presence, diversifying our product portfolio and advancing
innovations. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.
Share-based awards for Inari employees vested upon our
acquisition and a charge of $139 was recorded in selling, general
and administrative expenses in 2025.
In 2024 we completed various acquisitions for total consideration
that includes $1,628 in upfront payments, net of cash acquired,
and $400 contingent upon the achievement of certain commercial
or clinical milestones. The combined acquisition-date fair values
of the contingent milestone payments totaled $208. The acquired
companies expand the product portfolios of our Instruments,
Endoscopy, Medical and Neuro Cranial businesses within
MedSurg and Neurotechnology and our Trauma and Extremities
and Joint Replacement businesses within Orthopaedics. Goodwill
attributable to the acquisitions reflects the strategic benefits of
expanding our market presence, diversifying our product portfolio
and advancing innovations. This goodwill is not deductible for tax
purposes.
