NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(all tabular amounts in thousands unless otherwise noted)

Note 1 — Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Teleflex Incorporated and its subsidiaries (“we,” “us,” “our" and “Teleflex”) are prepared on the same basis as its annual consolidated financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for the fair statement of the financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and Rule 10-01 of Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Regulation S-X, which sets forth the instructions for the form and content of presentation of financial statements included in Form 10-Q. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year.

In accordance with applicable accounting standards and as permitted by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures that are required to be included in our annual consolidated financial statements. Therefore, our quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Note 2 — Recently issued accounting standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued new guidance designed to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses per segment. The guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The new standard must be adopted on a retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued new guidance designed to improve income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through increased disaggregation disclosures within the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as enhanced disclosures on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The new standard can be adopted on a prospective basis with an option for it to be adopted retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules that require registrants to include certain climate-related disclosures in registration statements and annual reports. The required disclosures include information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks will also include disclosure of a registrant's greenhouse gas emissions and will require registrants to present certain climate-related financial disclosures in their audited financial statements. The rules were to be effective for all fiscal years beginning in 2025. However, following the adoption of the rules, challenges to the rules were brought in six federal appellate courts. These challenges were consolidated for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On April 4, 2024, the SEC announced that it had stayed the rules pending the completion of judicial review of the consolidated Eighth Circuit petitions. We plan to monitor the status of these rules, and, as appropriate, to evaluate the rules to determine their impact on our consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting guidance is issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that is adopted by us as of the effective date or, in some cases where early adoption is permitted, in advance of the effective date. We have assessed the recently issued guidance that is not yet effective and, unless otherwise indicated above, believe the new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Note 3 — Net revenues

We primarily generate revenue from the sale of medical devices including single use disposable devices and, to a lesser extent, reusable devices, instruments and capital equipment. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; this occurs upon the transfer of control of the products. Generally, transfer of control to the customer occurs at the point in time when our products are shipped from the manufacturing or distribution facility. For our Original Equipment and Development Services ("OEM") segment, most revenue is recognized over time because the OEM segment generates revenue from the sale of custom products that have no alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment to the extent that performance has been completed. We market and sell products through our direct sales force and distributors to customers within the following end markets: (1) hospitals and healthcare providers; (2) other medical device manufacturers; and (3) home care providers, which constituted 86%, 12% and 2% of consolidated net revenues, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods. With respect to the custom products sold in the OEM segment, revenue is measured using the units produced output method. Payment is generally due 30 days from the date of invoice.

The following table disaggregates revenue by global product category for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023.

(1) Includes revenues generated from sales of our respiratory and urology products (other than interventional urology products) and sales pursuant to the manufacturing and supply transition agreement related to our Respiratory business divestiture.

(2) The product categories listed above are presented on a global basis, while each of our reportable segments other than the OEM reportable segment are defined based on the geographic location of its operations; the OEM reportable segment operates globally. Each of the geographically based reportable segments includes net revenues from each of the non-OEM product categories listed above.

Note 4 — Acquisition

2023 acquisition

In the fourth quarter of 2023, we completed the acquisition of Palette Life Sciences AB (“Palette”), a privately held medical device company that sells a portfolio of hyaluronic acid gel-based products primarily utilized in the treatment of urology diseases including a rectal spacing product used in connection with radiation therapy treatment of prostate cancer. Under the terms of the agreement, we acquired Palette for an initial cash payment of $594.9 million, with the potential to make two milestone payments up to $50 million in the aggregate if certain commercial milestones are met. The milestone payments are based on net sales growth over the two-year period beginning January 1, 2024.

We are continuing to evaluate the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition. Additionally, the purchase accounting for this acquisition remains incomplete with respect to the consideration transferred as we have not reached an agreement on the closing statement adjustments with the seller. Any adjustments to the consideration transferred during the measurement period will be recognized in the reporting period in which they are settled.

Note 5 — Restructuring and impairment charges

We have ongoing restructuring initiatives consisting of the integration of Palette into Teleflex and workforce reductions designed to improve operating performance across the organization by creating efficiencies that align with evolving market demands and our strategy to enhance long-term value creation (the “2023 Restructuring plan”) and a plan involving the relocation of certain manufacturing operations to existing lower-cost locations, the outsourcing of certain manufacturing processes and related workforce reductions (the “2023 Footprint realignment plan”).

Note 8 — Financial instruments

Foreign currency forward contracts

We use derivative instruments for risk management purposes. Foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are used to manage foreign currency transaction exposure. Foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are used to manage exposure related to near term foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. We enter into the non-designated foreign currency forward contracts for periods consistent with our currency translation exposures, which generally approximate one month. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a gain of $3.6 million related to non-designated foreign currency forward contracts. For the three months ended April 2, 2023, we did not recognize any gain or loss related to non-designated foreign currency forward contracts.

The total notional amount for all open foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $318.6 million and $234.1 million, respectively. The total notional amount for all open non-designated foreign currency forward contracts as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $181.5 million and $195.0 million, respectively. All open foreign currency forward contracts as of March 31, 2024 have durations of 12 months or less.

Cross-currency interest rate swaps

During 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements with five different financial institution counterparties to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate (the "2019 Cross-currency swaps"). Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, we notionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of 4.88% for €219.2 million at an annual interest rate of 2.46%. The swap agreements are designed as net investment hedges. On February 26, 2024, the agreements related to our 2019 Cross-currency swap with an original maturity date of March 4, 2024 were terminated resulting in $12.1 million in cash settlement proceeds.

On February 26, 2024, we executed two new separate term cross-currency swap agreements that expire on February 26, 2027 and February 28, 2029, respectively, to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate. The cross-currency swap agreements expiring in 2027 include five different financial institution counterparties and notionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of 4.25% for €230.6 million at an annual interest rate of 2.78%. The cross-currency swap agreements expiring in 2029 include four different financial institution counterparties and notionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of 4.25% for €230.4 million at an annual interest rate of 2.89%. Each of the swap agreements is designated as a net investment hedge. During the second quarter, in response to changes in market conditions, we terminated the two cross-currency swaps executed in February of 2024 and replaced them with new agreements featuring similar terms and the same U.S. dollar notional amounts. The impact of replacing the cross-currency swaps is expected to be immaterial to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

During 2023, we executed cross-currency swap agreements with six different financial institution counterparties to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate, (the "2023 Cross-currency swaps"). Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, we have notionally exchanged $500 million at an annual

(Unaudited)

interest rate of 4.63% for €474.7 million at an annual interest rate of 3.05%. The swap agreements are designated as net investment hedges and expire on October 4, 2025.

In 2023, we entered into a zero cost foreign exchange collar contract that aligns with the notional amount and expiration date of the 2023 Cross-currency swaps. We sold a put option with a lower strike price and bought a call option with a higher strike price to manage the foreign exchange risk related to the final settlement of the $500 million notional cross currency swaps. Upon the execution of the zero cost foreign exchange collar contract, we have de-designated the 2023 Cross-currency swaps and re-designated the combined $500 million notional cross currency swaps and zero cost collar into a new hedging instrument. At redesignation, the existing $500 million notional cross-currency swaps were off-market due to changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The off-market value due to interest rates will be amortized ratably into earnings through October 2025 and the off-market value due to foreign exchange rates will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying net investment is sold. The combined cross-currency swaps and zero cost collar have been designated as a net investment hedge for accounting purposes.

The swap agreements described above require an exchange of the notional amounts upon expiration or earlier termination of the agreements. We and the counterparties have agreed to effect the exchange through a net settlement.

The cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). The following table summarizes the foreign exchange gains and losses recognized within AOCI and the interest benefit recognized within interest expense related to cross currency swap for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023:

Valuation Techniques

Our financial assets valued based upon Level 1 inputs are comprised of investments in marketable securities held in trust, which are available to satisfy benefit obligations under our benefit plans and other arrangements. The investment assets of the trust are valued using quoted market prices.

Our financial assets and liabilities valued based upon Level 2 inputs are comprised of foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap agreements. We use foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to manage foreign currency transaction exposure as well as exposure to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. We measure the fair value of the foreign currency forwards and cross-currency swap agreements by calculating the amount required to enter into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities, based on quoted market prices, and taking into account the creditworthiness of the counterparties.

Our financial liabilities valued based upon Level 3 inputs are comprised of contingent consideration arrangements pertaining to our acquisitions.

Contingent consideration

Contingent consideration liabilities, which primarily consist of payment obligations that are contingent upon the achievement of revenue-based goals, but also can be based on other milestones such as regulatory approvals, are remeasured to fair value each reporting period using assumptions including revenue growth rates (based on internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans), revenue volatility, discount rates, probability of payment and projected payment dates.

We determine the fair value of certain contingent consideration liabilities using a Monte Carlo simulation (which involves a simulation of future revenues during the earn-out period using management's best estimates) or

discounted cash flow analysis. Increases in projected revenues, estimated cash flows and probabilities of payment may result in significantly higher fair value measurements; decreases in these items may have the opposite effect. Increases in the discount rates in periods prior to payment may result in significantly lower fair value measurements and decreases in the discount rates may have the opposite effect.

Note 10 — Shareholders' equity

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner except that the weighted average number of shares is increased to include dilutive securities. The following table provides a reconciliation of basic to diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024	April 2, 2023
Basic	47,068	46,949

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023 were 161.0% and 20.7%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflects a tax benefit associated with a pension charge recognized in connection with the termination of the TRIP defined benefit plan. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 2, 2023 reflects tax expense related to the revaluation of certain U.S. state operating losses and credit carryforwards. The effective income tax rates for both periods reflect a tax benefit from research and development tax credits.

Note 12 — Pension and other postretirement benefits

We have a number of defined benefit pension and postretirement plans covering eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees. The defined benefit pension plans are noncontributory. The benefits under these plans are based

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

primarily on years of service and employees’ pay near retirement. Our funding policy for U.S. plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, amounts required by applicable laws and regulations. Obligations under non-U.S. plans are systematically provided for by depositing funds with trustees or by book reserves. As of March 31, 2024, no further benefits are being accrued under the U.S. defined benefit pension plans and the other postretirement benefit plans, other than certain postretirement benefit plans covering employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

In 2023, we began the execution of a plan to terminate the Teleflex Incorporated Retirement Income Plan (the “TRIP”), a U.S. defined benefit pension plan. The TRIP is subject to Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and, therefore, must be terminated in accordance with the requirements of ERISA and the process governed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”). The termination date of the TRIP was August 1, 2023, which is the date upon which the timing of the requirements for the formal termination process is based. On September 8, 2023, we filed the required notice regarding the TRIP termination with the PBGC. The termination process requires that all TRIP benefits be distributed to participants, beneficiaries and alternate payees or transferred to a group annuity contract or the PBGC. In December of 2023, we made payments to eligible participants, beneficiaries and alternate payees who elected the one-time lump sum distribution option offered in connection with the TRIP termination, resulting in the recognition of pre-tax settlement charge of $45.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2023.

During the first quarter of 2024, we purchased a group annuity contract, using TRIP assets, which resulted in the recognition of a pre-tax settlement charge of $138.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The participants, beneficiaries, and alternate payees whose benefits were transferred to the group annuity contract will each receive from such group annuity contract the full value of their benefit that accrued under the TRIP. We also continue to evaluate our options with respect to TRIP assets in excess of liabilities ("surplus plan assets") remaining in the Teleflex Retirement Income Plan Trust subsequent to the purchase of the annuity contract and that will remain after plan assets and liabilities are transferred to the PBGC for missing participants and beneficiaries. We may contribute any surplus plan assets to a qualified defined contribution plan. As of March 31, 2024, the surplus plan assets were $37.2 million, which is included in Other Assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The following table provides information regarding the components of the net benefit (income) expense of the pension and postretirement benefit plans for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023:

Note 13 — Commitments and contingent liabilities

Environmental: We are subject to contingencies as a result of environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require us to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by us or other parties. Much of this liability results from the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, often referred to as Superfund, the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and similar state laws. These laws require us to undertake certain investigative and remedial activities at sites where we conduct or once conducted operations or at sites where Company-generated waste was disposed.

TELEFLEX INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. The nature of these activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, the regulatory agencies involved and their enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of other potentially responsible parties. At March 31, 2024, we have recorded $3.0 million and $2.1 million in accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, relating to these matters. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these liabilities and, if adverse changes in circumstances occur, the potential liability may exceed the amount accrued as of March 31, 2024. The time frame over which the accrued amounts may be paid out, based on past history, is estimated to be 10-15 years.

Legal matters: We are a party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability, intellectual property, employment, environmental and other matters. As of March 31, 2024, we have recorded accrued liabilities of $0.3 million in connection with such contingencies, representing our best estimate of the cost within the range of estimated possible losses that will be incurred to resolve these matters.

Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, we do not believe that the outcome of any outstanding litigation and claims is likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses in the period incurred.

Other: In 2015, the Italian parliament enacted legislation that, among other things, imposed a “payback” measure on medical device companies that supply goods and services to the Italian National Healthcare System. Under the measure, companies are required to make payments to the Italian government if medical device expenditures in a given year exceed regional expenditure ceilings established for that year. The payment amounts are calculated based on the amount by which the regional ceilings for the given year were exceeded. Considerable uncertainty exists related to the enforceability of and implementation process for the payback law. In response to decrees issued by the Italian Ministry of Health, the various Italian regions issued invoices to medical device companies, including Teleflex, under the payback measure in the fourth quarter of 2022 seeking payment with respect to excess expenditures for the years 2015 through 2018. Following the issuance of the invoices, we and numerous other medical device companies filed appeals with the Italian administrative courts challenging the enforceability of the payback measure, which appeals remain pending. As of March 31, 2024, our reserve for this matter is $15.1 million, of which $0.9 million was recorded as a reduction of revenue in 2024. If the payback was ultimately to be enforced in its existing form, we estimate that we would be required to remit payments in excess of our current reserve of up to $23.3 million.

On April 4, 2023, one of our Mexican subsidiaries received a notification from the Mexican Federal Tax Administration Service (“SAT”) setting forth its preliminary findings with respect to a foreign trade operations audit carried out by SAT for the period from July 1, 2017 to June 6, 2019. The preliminary findings stated that our Mexican subsidiary did not evidence the export of goods temporarily imported under Mexico’s Manufacturing, Maquila and Export Services Industries Program (“IMMEX Program”), therefore triggering the potential obligation for payment of import duties, value added tax, customs processing fees and other fines and penalties, which may cause an adverse impact on our gross profit in the future. In response to the notification, our Mexican subsidiary has requested that the matter be referred to the Procuraduría de la Defensa del Contribuyente, or “PRODECON,” (local tax ombudsperson) to help facilitate the process. In June 2023, we provided SAT with the appropriate documentation evidencing the export of the goods in accordance with the requirements of the IMMEX Program.

While we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this audit, based on currently known information, we do not believe a loss is either probable or estimable. Accordingly, no loss contingency has been recorded in our financial statements as of March 31, 2024 related to this matter. However, if the final resolution of the matter is not favorable to us, our Mexican subsidiary may be required to make payment of certain import duties, fines and surcharges, which could be material.

As part of our acquisition of Palette, we identified certain foreign tax liabilities that had not been properly recognized and paid by Palette prior to our acquisition. As part of our acquisition accounting, we have established a liability of $3.5 million, representing our best estimate of the outstanding tax liabilities including interest as of March 31, 2024. In February 2024, we requested the relevant foreign tax authority to re-assess Palette’s previously filed tax returns for the related periods. If the tax authority disagrees with the basis for our request for reassessment of the previously filed returns and we are unsuccessful in defending our position, we may be required to pay an amount in excess of our current established liability, which could be material.

Tax audits and examinations: We are routinely subject to tax examinations by various tax authorities. As of March 31, 2024, the most significant tax examinations in process were in Germany and Italy. We may establish reserves with respect to our uncertain tax positions, after we adjust the reserves to address developments with respect to our uncertain tax positions, including developments in these tax examinations. Accordingly, developments in tax audits and examinations, including resolution of uncertain tax positions, could result in increases or decreases to our recorded tax liabilities, which could impact our financial results.

(2)Consists of pre-tax charges related to accelerated depreciation and other costs directly related to the plan, primarily project management costs and costs to relocate manufacturing operations and support functions to the new locations. Substantially all of the charges are expected to be recognized within costs of goods sold.

We expect the restructuring and restructuring related charges will result in future cash outflows ranging from $26 million to $32 million, with the majority anticipated to materialize between 2025 and 2026. Furthermore, we expect to incur $12 million to $15 million in aggregate capital expenditures under the plan, with the bulk of these expenses expected to occur during 2024 and 2025.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Teleflex Incorporated (“we,” “us,” “our" and “Teleflex”) is a global provider of medical technology products focused on enhancing clinical benefits, improving patient and provider safety and reducing total procedural costs. We primarily design, develop, manufacture and supply single-use medical devices used by hospitals and healthcare providers for common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in critical care and surgical applications. We market and sell our products worldwide through a combination of our direct sales force and distributors. Because our products are used in numerous markets and for a variety of procedures, we are not dependent upon any one end-market or procedure. We are focused on achieving consistent, sustainable and profitable growth by increasing our market share and improving our operating efficiencies.

We evaluate our portfolio of products and businesses on an ongoing basis to ensure alignment with our overall objectives. Based on our evaluation, we may identify opportunities to divest businesses and product lines that do not meet our objectives. In addition, we may seek to optimize utilization of our facilities through restructuring initiatives designed to further improve our cost structure and enhance our competitive position. We also may continue to explore opportunities to expand the size of our business and improve operating margins through a combination of acquisitions and distributor to direct sales conversions, which generally involve our elimination of a distributor from the sales channel, either by acquiring the distributor or terminating the distributor relationship (in some instances, particularly in Asia, the conversions involve our acquisition or termination of a master distributor and the continued sale of our products through sub-distributors or through new distributors). Distributor to direct sales conversions are designed to facilitate improved product pricing and more direct access to the end users of our products within the sales channel.

Pension termination

In 2023, we began the execution of a plan to terminate the Teleflex Incorporated Retirement Income Plan (the “TRIP”), a U.S. defined benefit pension plan. The TRIP is subject to Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and, therefore, must be terminated in accordance with the requirements of ERISA and the process governed by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the “PBGC”). The termination date of the TRIP was August 1, 2023, which is the date upon which the timing of the requirements for the formal termination process is based. On September 8, 2023, we filed the required notice regarding the TRIP termination with the PBGC. The termination process requires that all TRIP benefits be distributed to participants, beneficiaries and alternate payees or transferred to a group annuity contract or the PBGC. In December of 2023, we made payments to eligible participants, beneficiaries and alternate payees who elected the one-time lump sum distribution option offered in connection with the TRIP termination, resulting in the recognition of a non-cash pre-tax settlement charge of $45.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2023.

During the first quarter of 2024, we purchased a group annuity contract, using TRIP assets, which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash pre-tax settlement charge of $138.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The participants, beneficiaries, and alternate payees whose benefits were transferred to the group annuity contract will each receive from such group annuity contract the full value of their benefit that accrued under the TRIP. We also continue to evaluate our options with respect to TRIP assets in excess of liabilities ("surplus plan assets") remaining in the Teleflex Retirement Income Plan Trust subsequent to the purchase of the annuity contract and that will remain after plan assets and liabilities are transferred to the PBGC for missing participants and beneficiaries. We may contribute any surplus plan assets to a qualified defined contribution plan, which may impact our operating cash flows from continuing operations. As of March 31, 2024, the surplus plan assets were $37.2 million, which is included in Other Assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Results of Operations

As used in this discussion, "new products" are products for which commercial sales have commenced within the past 36 months, and “existing products” are products for which commercial sales commenced more than 36 months ago. Discussion of results of operations items that reference the effect of one or more acquired and/or divested businesses or assets (except as noted below with respect to acquired distributors) generally reflects the impact of the acquisitions and/or divestitures within the first 12 months following the date of the acquisition and/or divestiture. In addition to increases and decreases in the per unit selling prices of our products to our customers, our discussion of the impact of product price increases and decreases also reflects the impact on the pricing of our products resulting from the elimination of the distributor, either through acquisition or termination of the distributor, from the sales channel. All of the dollar amounts in the tables are presented in millions unless otherwise noted.

Certain financial information is presented on a rounded basis, which may cause minor differences.

Net revenues


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024		April 2, 2023
Net revenues	$	737.8	$	710.9

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $26.9 million, or 3.8%, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a $10.8 million increase in sales volumes of existing products, price increases and an increase in sales of new products.

Gross profit


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024			April 2, 2023
Gross profit	$	416.1		$	391.4
Percentage of sales	56.4		%	55.1		%

Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased 130 basis points, or 2.4%, compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the favorable impact of gross margin attributed by acquired and divested businesses, price increases and the benefits from cost improvement initiatives, partially offset by unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and continued cost inflation from macro-economic factors, specifically with respect to labor and raw materials.

Selling, general and administrative


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024			April 2, 2023
Selling, general and administrative	$	242.8		$	232.7
Percentage of sales	32.9		%	32.7		%

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $10.1 million, compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher operating expenses incurred by the acquired Palette business, an increase in legal expenses primarily related to higher litigation costs and, to a lesser extent, higher IT related costs. The increases in selling, general and administrative expenses were partially offset by lower sales expenses across certain of our product portfolios and a decrease in contingent consideration expense resulting from changes in the estimated fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities.

Research and development


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024			April 2, 2023
Research and development	$	37.3		$	41.5
Percentage of sales	5.1		%	5.8		%

The decrease in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to lower expenses related to the European Union Medical Device Regulation related costs, partially offset by higher project spend by the acquired Palette business.

Pension Settlement Charge


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024		April 2, 2023
Pension settlement charge	$	138.1	$	—

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized a settlement charge of $138.1 million related to our plan to terminate the TRIP resulting from our purchase of a group annuity contract to provide participants, beneficiaries, and alternate payees the full value of their benefit under the plan.

Restructuring and impairment charges


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024		April 2, 2023
Restructuring and impairment charges	$	2.7	$	2.2

Restructuring and impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily consisted of a $2.1 million impairment charge related to a portion of our operating lease assets stemming from our cessation of occupancy of a specific facility and termination benefits related to the 2023 Restructuring plan and 2023 Footprint realignment plan.

Ongoing restructuring plans

We have ongoing restructuring initiatives consisting of a restructuring plan primarily involving the integration of Palette into Teleflex and workforce reductions designed to improve operating performance across the organization by creating efficiencies that align with evolving market demands and our strategy to enhance long-term value creation (the “2023 Restructuring plan”) and a restructuring plan primarily involving the relocation of certain manufacturing operations to existing lower-cost locations, the outsourcing of certain manufacturing processes and related workforce reductions (the "2023 Footprint realignment plan").

We estimate that we will incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring and restructuring related charges in connection with the 2023 Restructuring plan and 2023 Footprint realignment plan of $15 million to $19 million and $11 million to $15 million, respectively. We expect to achieve annual pretax savings in connection with the 2023 Restructuring plan and 2023 Footprint realignment plan of $29 million to $35 million and $2 million to $4 million, respectively, once the plans are fully implemented.

2024 Footprint realignment plan

We estimate that we will incur aggregate pre-tax restructuring and restructuring related charges in connection with the 2024 Footprint realignment plan of $33 million to $40 million. Of these, it is anticipated that $15 million to $19 million will be incurred in 2024, with the majority of the remaining balance expected to be incurred before the end of 2025. We estimate that $26 million to $32 million of the total charges will result in cash outlays, of which we expect, $4 million to $6 million to be disbursed in 2024 and the majority to be disbursed before the end of 2026. Furthermore, we expect to incur $12 million to $15 million in aggregate capital expenditures under the plan, of which $6 million to $8 million is expected to be incurred during 2024. The majority of capital expenditures are expected to be incurred by the end of 2025.

We expect to begin realizing plan-related savings in 2026 and expect to achieve annual pre-tax savings of $7 million to $9 million once the plan is fully implemented. The impact of product rationalization efforts will partially offset the annual pre-tax savings generated by the plan, with the impact beginning in 2026.

As the 2024 Footprint realignment plan progresses, management will reevaluate the estimated expenses and charges set forth above, and may revise its estimates, as appropriate, consistent with GAAP.

For additional information regarding our restructuring plans, refer to Note 5 within the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Interest expense


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024			April 2, 2023
Interest expense	$	22.7		$	18.3
Average interest rate on debt	4.7		%	4.0		%

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a higher average interest rate resulting from increases in interest rates associated with our variable interest rate debt instruments and an increase in average debt outstanding.

Taxes on income from continuing operations


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2024		April 2, 2023
Effective income tax rate (1)	161.0	%	20.7	%

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflects a tax benefit associated with a pension charge recognized in connection with the termination of the TRIP defined benefit plan. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended April 2, 2023 reflects tax expense related to the revaluation of certain U.S. state operating losses and credit carryforwards. The effective income tax rates for both periods reflect a tax benefit from research and development tax credits.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and April 2, 2023

Americas

Americas net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $5.6 million, or 1.4%, compared to the prior year period, which was primarily attributable to a $14.5 million decrease in sales volumes of existing products and a $5.7 million decrease from the net impact of acquired and divested businesses. The decreases in net revenues were partially offset by price increases and an increase in sales of new products.

Americas operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $10.6 million, or 10.8%, compared to the prior year period, which was primarily attributable to operating expenses incurred by the acquired Palette business and a decrease in gross profit resulting from lower sales and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by price increases. The decreases in operating profit were partially offset by a decrease in contingent consideration expense resulting from changes in the estimated fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities.

EMEA

EMEA net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $16.3 million, or 11.4%, compared to the prior year period, which was primarily attributable to a $10.0 million increase in sales volumes of existing products and, to a lesser extent, price increases and favorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

EMEA operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $13.3 million, or 104.4%, compared to the prior year period, which was primarily attributable to lower expenses related to the European Union Medical Device Regulation within research and development expenses and an increase in gross profit resulting from higher sales and price increases, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs.

Asia

Asia net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $5.5 million, or 7.0%, compared to the prior year period, which was primarily attributable to a $5.9 million increase in sales volumes of existing products and, to a lesser extent, revenues generated by the acquisition of Palette, partially offset by $3.0 million of unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

Asia operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $3.8 million, or 18.1%, compared to the prior year period, which was attributable to unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and an increase in sales and marketing expenses to support higher sales. The decreases in operating profit were partially offset by an increase in gross profit resulting from higher sales, partially offset by unfavorable mix.

OEM

OEM net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $10.7 million, or 13.9%, compared to the prior year period, which was primarily attributable to a $9.4 million increase in sales volumes of existing products and, to a lesser extent, price increases.

OEM operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $3.1 million, or 15.4%, compared to the respective prior year period, which was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit resulting from higher sales and prices increases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe our cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under our revolving credit facility will enable us to fund our operating requirements, capital expenditures and debt obligations for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. We have net cash provided by United States based operating activities as well as non-United States sources of cash available to help fund our debt service requirements in the United States. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by monitoring the funds available among our subsidiaries and determining the extent to which we can access those funds on a cost effective basis.

On February 26, 2024, the agreements related to our 2019 Cross-currency swap with an original maturity date of March 4, 2024 were terminated resulting in $12.1 million in cash settlement proceeds. On February 26, 2024, we executed two new separate term cross-currency swap agreements that expire on February 26, 2027 and February 28, 2029, respectively, to hedge against the effect of variability in the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate (together the "2024 Cross-currency swap agreements"). The cross-currency swap agreements expiring in 2027 include five different financial institution counterparties and notionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of

4.25% for €230.6 million at an annual interest rate of 2.78%. The cross-currency swap agreements expiring in 2029 include four different financial institution counterparties and notionally exchanged $250 million at an annual interest rate of 4.25% for €230.4 million at an annual interest rate of 2.89%. Both of the 2024 Cross-currency swap agreements are designated as a net investment hedge and require an exchange of the notional amounts upon expiration or the earlier termination of the agreements. We and the counterparties have agreed to effect the exchange through a net settlement. As a result, we may be required to pay (or be entitled to receive) an amount equal to the difference, on the expiration or earlier termination date, between the U.S. dollar equivalent of the €461 million notional amount and the $500 million notional amount. The 2024 Cross-currency swap agreements entail risk that the counterparties will not fulfill their obligations under the agreements. However, we believe the risk is reduced because we have entered into separate agreements with nine different counterparties, all of which are large, well-established financial institutions. Based on the U.S. dollar to euro currency exchange rate in effect February 26, 2024, and assuming exchange rates remain constant throughout the terms of the 2024 Cross-currency swap agreements, we would realize a reduction in annual cash interest expense of $7.1 million. During the second quarter, in response to changes in market conditions, we terminated the two cross-currency swaps executed in February of 2024 and replaced them with new agreements featuring similar terms and the same U.S. dollar notional amounts. The impact of replacing the cross-currency swaps is expected to be immaterial to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $112.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $84.3 million for the three months ended April 2, 2023. The $28.5 million increase was primarily attributable to favorable operating results and a decrease in cash outflows from inventories as we moderate our inventory levels. The increases in cash flows were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable resulting from higher sales and lower levels of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $24.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and primarily consisted of $38.4 million in capital expenditures, partially offset by $13.7 million in net proceeds on swaps designated as net investment hedges.

Net cash used in by financing activities from continuing operations was $71.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and primarily consisted of a $57.1 million reduction in borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and $16.0 million in dividend payments.

Borrowings

The indentures governing our 4.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and 4.25% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes") contain covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, limit or restrict our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to create liens; consolidate, merge or dispose of certain assets; and enter into sale leaseback transactions. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with these requirements.

The obligations under our senior credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), the 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes are guaranteed (subject to certain exceptions) by substantially all of our material domestic subsidiaries, and the obligations under the Credit Agreement are (subject to certain exceptions and limitations) secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets owned by us and each guarantor.

Summarized Financial Information – Obligor Group

The 2027 Notes are issued by Teleflex Incorporated (the “Parent Company”), and payment of the Parent Company's obligations under the Senior Notes is guaranteed, jointly and severally, by an enumerated group of the Parent Company’s subsidiaries (each, a “Guarantor Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The guarantees are full and unconditional, subject to certain customary release provisions. Each Guarantor Subsidiary is directly or indirectly 100% owned by the Parent Company. Summarized financial information for the Parent and Guarantor Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Obligor Group”) as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is as follows:

(1)During the first quarter of 2024, certain existing subsidiaries were designated as Guarantor Subsidiaries and as a result, we recast the prior period comparative summarized financial information.

The same accounting policies as described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 are used by the Parent Company and each of its subsidiaries in connection with the summarized financial information presented above. The Intercompany column in the table above represents transactions between and among the Obligor Group and non-guarantor subsidiaries (i.e. those subsidiaries of the Parent Company that have not guaranteed payment of the Senior Notes). Obligor investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries and any related activity are excluded from the financial information presented above.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from the amounts derived from those estimates and assumptions.

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we provided disclosure regarding our critical accounting estimates, which are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of recently issued accounting guidance, including estimated effects, if any, of the adoption of the guidance on our financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “guidance,” “potential,” “continue,” “project,” “forecast,” “confident,” “prospects” and similar expressions typically are used to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on the then-current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and forecasts about our business and the industry and markets in which we operate. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including changes in business relationships with and purchases by or from major customers or suppliers; delays or cancellations in shipments; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; the impact of inflation and disruptions in our global supply chain on us and our suppliers (particularly sole-source suppliers and providers of sterilization services), including fluctuations in the cost and availability of resins and other raw materials, as well as certain components, used in the production or sterilization of our products, transportation constraints and delays, product shortages, energy shortages or increased energy costs, labor shortages in the United States and elsewhere, and increased operating and labor costs; our inability to integrate acquired businesses into our operations, realize planned synergies and operate such businesses profitably in accordance with our expectations; our inability to effectively execute our restructuring programs; our inability to realize anticipated savings resulting from restructuring plans and programs; the impact of enacted healthcare reform legislation and proposals to amend, replace or repeal the legislation; changes in Medicare, Medicaid and third party coverage and reimbursements; the impact of tax legislation and related regulations; competitive market conditions and resulting effects on revenues and pricing; global economic factors, including currency exchange rates, interest rates, trade disputes, sovereign debt issues, and international conflicts and hostilities, such as the ongoing conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East; public health epidemics and pandemics, such as COVID-19; difficulties entering new markets; and general economic conditions. For a further discussion of the risks relating to our business, see Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as otherwise explicitly stated by us or as required by law or regulation.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the information set forth in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are party to various lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business. These lawsuits and claims include actions involving product liability and product warranty, intellectual property, contracts, employment and environmental matters. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had accrued liabilities of $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in connection with these matters, representing our best estimate of the cost within the range of estimated possible loss that will be incurred to resolve these matters. Based on information currently available, advice of counsel, established reserves and other resources, we do not believe that any such actions are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, in the event of unexpected further developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters, or other similar matters, if unfavorable, may be materially adverse to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

See the information set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes in risk factors for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Not applicable.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

Not applicable.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, none of our directors or executive officers entered into, modified or terminated, contracts, instructions or written plans for the sale or purchase of our securities that were intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1.
