Debt discounts, premiums and debt issuance costs totaled $130 million and $93 million as of June 26, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and have been netted against the aggregate principal amounts of the related debt in the components of debt table above. For additional details regarding the Company’s debt financing, refer to Note 13 of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report.
The Company has historically satisfied short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flow and available cash primarily through issuances of commercial paper under its U.S. dollar and euro-denominated commercial paper programs. The Company’s $5.0 billion unsecured, multi-year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that expires on August 11, 2028 (the “Credit Facility”) is available for direct borrowings and provides credit support for the commercial paper programs. For a description of the Credit Facility, refer to the Company’s 2025 Annual Report. As of June 26, 2026, no borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility. As of June 26, 2026, the Company has classified approximately $4.7 billion of its borrowings outstanding under the euro-denominated commercial paper programs as long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet (even though such borrowings are scheduled to mature within one year of June 26, 2026) as the Company had the intent and ability, as supported by availability under the Credit Facility, to refinance these borrowings for at least one year from the balance sheet date. The classification of the Company’s debt is based upon the Company’s refinancing intent, which considers current market conditions, expected liquidity and availability and needs in light of current business operations and upcoming acquisitions.
As of June 26, 2026, borrowings outstanding under the Company’s euro-denominated commercial paper program had a weighted average annual interest rate of 2.5% and a weighted average remaining maturity of approximately 79 days. There were no borrowings outstanding under the U.S. dollar-denominated commercial paper program as of June 26, 2026.
364-Day Credit Facility
On April 16, 2026, the Company entered into a $5.0 billion 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility (the “364-Day Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders that expires on April 15, 2027 (the “Scheduled Termination Date”). The Company used the 364-Day Facility to provide additional liquidity support for issuances under its commercial paper programs, and used proceeds of such issuances of commercial paper to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Masimo Acquisition.
The Company may elect, upon the payment of a fee equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the loans then outstanding and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, to convert any loans outstanding on the Scheduled Termination Date into term loans that are due and payable one year following the Scheduled Termination Date.
Borrowings under the 364-Day Facility bear interest as follows: (1) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Loans (as defined in the 364-Day Facility) bear interest at a variable rate equal to the Term SOFR (as defined in the 364-Day Facility) plus a margin of between 58.5 and 108.5 basis points, depending on the Company’s long-term debt credit rating; and (2) Base Rate Loans (as defined in the 364-Day Facility) bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal funds rate (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from time to time) plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) Bank of America’s “prime rate” as publicly announced from time to time, (c) Term SOFR (based on one-month interest period) plus 1% and (d) 1%, plus in each case a margin of between 0.0 and 8.5 basis points depending on Danaher’s long-term debt credit rating. In addition, Danaher is required to pay a per annum facility fee of 4.0 basis points based on the aggregate commitments under the 364-Day Facility, regardless of usage.
The Company’s obligations under the 364-Day Facility are unsecured. The Company has unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed the obligations of each of its subsidiaries in the event a subsidiary is named a borrower under the 364-Day Facility. The 364-Day Facility contains customary representations, warranties, conditions precedent, events of default, indemnities and affirmative and negative covenants. The 364-Day Facility requires the Company to maintain a Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the 364-Day Facility) of 0.65 to 1.00 or less. Borrowings under the 364-Day Facility are prepayable at the Company’s option at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty. The 364-Day Facility is available for liquidity support for Danaher’s commercial paper programs, as discussed above, and for general corporate purposes. There were no borrowings outstanding under the 364-Day Facility as of June 26, 2026.
