DEERFIELD, Ill., NOV. 8, 2024 – Baxter International Inc. (NYSE:BAX), a global medtech leader, today reported results for the third quarter of 2024.
"Baxter delivered positive performance in the third quarter of 2024, as the company continues to execute against its strategic transformation,” said José (Joe) E. Almeida, chair, president and chief executive officer. “The pending sale of our Kidney Care business represents another defining milestone in our ongoing transformation journey. We are also making substantial progress advancing hurricane recovery efforts at our North Cove, North Carolina, facility, thanks to the inspirational commitment and resilience of our Baxter team, in coordination with government agencies. While the hurricane’s aftermath is expected to have an impact on our near-term financial

3 Sales growth at constant currency rates and adjusted diluted EPS, as well as forecasts of those items on a forward-looking basis, are non-GAAP financial measures. See the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section below for information about the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release and see the accompanying tables to this press release for reconciliations of those non-GAAP measures to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures.

outlook, we remain confident in Baxter’s outlook and growth trajectory following completion of the pending Kidney Care sale.”
Third-Quarter Financial Results
Note that Baxter’s third-quarter and updated full-year 2024 guidance was issued on Aug. 6, 2024, prior to the announcement of the pending sale of the Kidney Care segment to Carlyle. Following the announcement, Baxter’s Kidney Care business met the conditions to be reported as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the Kidney Care business is now reported in discontinued operations, and the company’s prior-period results have been adjusted to reflect the discontinued operations presentation. Restated historical results reflecting the Kidney Care segment as a discontinued operation for the prior six quarters can be found on Baxter’s website in the Investor Relations section. Discontinued operations for 2023 also include Baxter’s former BioPharma Solutions (BPS) business, which was divested at the end of the third quarter of 2023. Continuing operations now reflect the results of Baxter’s Medical Products & Therapies, Healthcare Systems & Technologies and Pharmaceuticals segments.
Total Baxter worldwide sales for Q3 2024 were $3.85 billion, which include continuing operations sales of $2.70 billion and discontinued operations sales of $1.15 billion. Excluding Q3 2023 BPS sales of $191 million, and including sales of Kidney Care in both periods, worldwide Baxter sales grew 4% on both a reported and constant currency basis, in line with the company’s prior guidance. Including discontinued operations from the BPS business, total Baxter third-quarter 2024 sales decreased 1% on both a reported and constant currency basis.
On a continuing operations basis, Baxter’s sales of $2.70 billion increased 4% on both a constant currency and reported basis, with all segments contributing to this performance. Medical Products & Therapies sales grew high single digits, reflecting strong demand across the portfolio, including the successful U.S. launch of the Novum IQ large volume infusion pump with Dose IQ Safety Software. Healthcare Systems & Technologies sales grew low single digits, as strong performance in the U.S. Care & Connectivity Solutions (CCS) division was partially offset by declines internationally in CCS and lower sales in the U.S. Front Line Care division related to ongoing market dynamics in the U.S. primary care market, as well as a difficult comparison to the prior-year period following backlog reduction efforts. Pharmaceuticals sales also grew at low single digits, as double-digit growth in the Drug Compounding division was partially offset by a high single-digit decline in the
Injectables & Anesthesia division. Third quarter sales of Injectables & Anesthesia were impacted by the timing of certain orders shifting to the fourth quarter and supply constraints impacting international performance. The Injectables team continues to enhance its new product launch capabilities and is focused on successfully driving the commercial launches of several new injectables in 2024 and beyond.
Kidney Care sales, which are now reported as discontinued operations, increased mid-single digits over the prior year period and were driven by positive demand and pricing for acute therapies and peritoneal dialysis products.
Please see the attached schedules accompanying this press release for additional details on sales performance in the quarter, including breakouts by Baxter’s segments.
For the third quarter, total net income attributable to Baxter on a U.S. GAAP basis was $140 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. These results include special items totaling $271 million, primarily related to intangible amortization, separation-related costs and business optimization costs, among other factors. On an adjusted basis, excluding the impact of special items, total net income attributable to Baxter was $0.80 per diluted share, exceeding the company’s original guidance of $0.77 to $0.79 per diluted share, driven by top-line strength in Medical Products & Therapies and Kidney Care as well as continued improvements in integrated supply chain and disciplined management of operating expenses.
Hurricane Helene Recovery at North Cove Facility
On Sept. 27, 2024, western North Carolina was devastated by the impact of Hurricane Helene, which was unprecedented for the region. Among its effects, the rain and storm surge resulted in flooding at Baxter’s North Cove manufacturing facility, causing a temporary production shutdown. Since then, Baxter has been focused on bringing the North Cove facility back online, working to ensure ongoing supply continuity for patients, and supporting employees in impacted communities.
As announced last week, Baxter has now restarted North Cove’s highest-throughput IV solutions manufacturing line. At its peak operation (prior to Hurricane Helene), this line represented approximately 25% of the site’s total production and approximately 50% of the site’s production of one-liter IV solutions, the most commonly used size by hospitals and clinics. Baxter’s current expectation is that new product from North Cove could begin shipping to distributors and customers
by the end of November, ahead of its original expectations, which is a testament to the dedication, diligence and resilience of Baxter colleagues in North Cove and beyond.
“I want to recognize the tireless efforts of our North Cove team as well as the countless other Baxter colleagues globally who have committed themselves to site restoration and helping address supply continuity amid this crisis,” said Almeida. “I also offer Baxter’s gratitude to ASPR, FDA, the State of North Carolina and HHS, all of whom continue to provide their steadfast support as we work to bring North Cove back to full production. And, of course, we are deeply appreciative of our customers’ patience and partnership as our progress continues at the site.”
Baxter does not yet have a timeline for when North Cove production will be fully restored to pre-hurricane levels. Assessment, equipment repair, and phased testing continue at a rapid pace across all other North Cove production lines, and Baxter will continue to work in close coordination with FDA to resume operations in phases.
Additional information on the restoration effort, including plant recovery, supply continuity, and how Baxter is making a difference for its employees and the community, can be found on the Hurricane Helene Updates page on Baxter.com. The company intends to provide further updates regarding its progress on this page.
Kidney Care Separation Update
On Aug. 13, 2024, Baxter and certain affiliates of global investment firm Carlyle announced a definitive agreement under which Carlyle is to acquire Baxter’s Kidney Care segment, to be known as Vantive, for $3.80 billion. Baxter expects to receive approximately $3.50 billion in cash with net after-tax proceeds currently estimated to be in the range of $3.15 to $3.25 billion, exceeding original expectations. The transaction is a vital step in Baxter’s ongoing strategic transformation and will establish Vantive as a global leader in kidney care.
Baxter continues to expect the sale to close in late 2024 or early 2025, subject to receipt of customary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions.
In light of the reporting change moving Kidney Care business results to discontinued operations, corporate costs that had previously been allocated to the Kidney Care segment, which will not convey with the Kidney Care business in the sale, are now reported in unallocated corporate costs. These stranded costs (or dis-synergies) are expected to be mitigated in 2025 through income
to be received from Vantive under transition service agreements (TSAs) as well as cost-containment initiatives the company is in the process of undertaking. Baxter currently expects to fully offset the impact of these stranded costs and loss of TSA income in 2027.
Financial Outlook
Given the unprecedented impact of Hurricane Helene on the company’s North Cove operations and related production, Baxter is adjusting its full-year 2024 financial outlook to reflect the estimated impact of the hurricane on its fourth-quarter results. As a result of the hurricane, Baxter expects total company fourth-quarter sales to be negatively impacted by approximately $200 million, including an estimated $40 to $50 million impact on Kidney Care sales and approximately $150 to $160 million impact on Medical Products & Therapies sales. Total company adjusted diluted EPS (including discontinued operations) are expected to be negatively impacted by $0.15 to $0.20 per share.
Guidance provided below includes the impact of Kidney Care discontinued operations and excludes the impact of BPS discontinued operations. In addition, the company’s updated guidance reflects the anticipated fourth-quarter negative impact of Hurricane Helene.
For full-year 2024: Baxter now expects total company sales growth of 1% to 2% on a reported basis and approximately 2% on a constant currency basis. The company expects total company adjusted earnings, before special items, of $2.90 to $2.94 per diluted share.
For fourth-quarter 2024: The company expects sales to decline low single digits on both a reported basis and constant currency basis. The company expects total adjusted earnings, before special items, of $0.77 to $0.81 per diluted share.
Following Kidney Care divestiture: Baxter reaffirms the preliminary financial expectations set when it announced its agreement to sell Kidney Care to Carlyle in August 2024. Following the completion of the pending sale of Kidney Care, Baxter is targeting operational sales growth5 of 4% to 5% annually. The company also anticipates a full-year 2025 adjusted operating margin of approximately 16.5% on a continuing operations basis, which reflects an anticipated 100 basis point

negative impact due to stranded costs, net of anticipated TSA income, and the manufacturing supply agreement (MSA) the company plans to enter into with Vantive upon the completion of the sale of the Kidney Care segment. The company currently expects to fully offset these stranded costs and loss of TSA income in 2027 through cost-containment initiatives, some of which are already underway, to further support the company's objective of delivering annual adjusted operating margin expansion.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures may enhance an understanding of the company’s operations and may facilitate an analysis of those operations, particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the company’s reconciliations to corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures (which are included in the tables accompanying this release), may enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally in financial planning, to monitor business unit performance, and, in some cases, for purposes of determining incentive compensation. This information should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Net sales growth on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides information on the percentage change in net sales growth as if foreign currency exchange rates had remained constant between the prior and current periods. Operational sales growth excludes the impact of the Kidney Care MSA (to be entered into at closing) and is calculated on a constant currency basis.
Other non-GAAP financial measures included in this release and the accompanying tables (including within the tables that provide the company’s detailed reconciliations to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures) are: adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses, adjusted research and development expenses, adjusted other operating income, net, adjusted operating income, adjusted other expense, net, adjusted income from continuing operations before income taxes, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted income (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted income (loss) from discontinued operations, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Baxter stockholders, adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share. Those non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of special items. For the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, special items for one or more periods included intangible asset amortization, business optimization charges, acquisition and integration costs, separation-related costs, expenses related to European medical devices regulation, product warranty reserves, legal matters, Hurricane Helene costs, a goodwill impairment, long-lived asset impairments, investment impairments, and certain tax matters. These items are excluded because they are highly variable or unusual and of a size that may substantially impact the company’s reported operations for a period. Additionally, intangible asset amortization is excluded as a special item to facilitate an evaluation of current and past operating performance and is consistent with how management and the company’s Board of Directors assess performance.
This release and the accompanying tables also include free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure that Baxter defines as operating cash flow less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is used by management and the company’s Board of Directors to evaluate the cash generated from Baxter’s operating activities each period after deducting its capital spending.
This release also includes forecasts of certain of the aforementioned non-GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis as part of the company’s financial outlook for the remainder of 2024. Baxter calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For instance, forward-looking annual operational sales growth represents the company’s targeted future sales growth excluding sales to Vantive under the related MSA and assuming foreign currency exchange rates remain constant in future periods. Additionally, forward-looking full year 2025 adjusted operating margin guidance and forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes potential charges or gains that would be reflected as non-GAAP adjustments to earnings. Baxter provides forward-looking annual operational sales growth guidance, forward-looking full year 2025 adjusted operating margin guidance, and forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS guidance because it believes that these measures provide useful information for the reasons noted above. Baxter has not provided reconciliations of forward-looking annual operational sales growth guidance to forward-looking GAAP reported sales growth guidance, forward-looking full year 2025 adjusted operating margin guidance to forward-looking GAAP operating margin guidance, and forward-looking adjusted EPS guidance to forward-looking GAAP EPS guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the impact of legal proceedings, future business optimization actions, separation-related costs, integration-related costs, asset impairments, unusual gains and losses, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and the related amounts are unavailable without unreasonable efforts (as specified in the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K). In addition, Baxter believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of
precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.
Forward-Looking Statements
This release includes forward-looking statements concerning the company’s financial results (including the outlook for fourth-quarter and full-year 2024, and full-year 2025) and business development and regulatory activities.

1The company’s results in 2024 and 2023 included costs related to programs to optimize its organization and cost structure. The company's results of continuing operations in 2024 and 2023 included costs primarily related to its implementation of a new operating model intended to simplify and streamline its operations and better align its manufacturing and supply chain to its commercial activities, third-party costs incurred to support the transformation of certain general and administrative functions and the integration of its acquisition of Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (Hillrom). The company's results of discontinued operations in 2024 and 2023 included costs primarily related to inventory write-offs due to the exit of a product line and the decision to cease production of dialyzers at one of its U.S.-based manufacturing facilities.
2The company’s results in 2024 and 2023 included integration-related items comprised of Hillrom acquisition and integration expenses.
3The company’s results in 2024 and 2023 included incremental costs to comply with the European Union’s medical device regulations for previously registered products, which primarily consisted of contractor costs and other direct third-party costs. The company considers the adoption of these regulations to be a significant one-time regulatory change and believes that the costs of initial compliance for previously registered products over the implementation period are not indicative of its core operating results.
4The company's results in 2024 included charges related to a revised estimate of warranty and remediation activities arising from a field corrective action on certain of our infusion pumps initially recorded in 2022.
5The company's results in 2024 included net charges related to Hurricane Helene. This amount consisted of a charge related to damaged inventory and fixed assets, partially offset by a benefit related to insurance recoveries expected as a result of those asset write-offs.
6The company’s results in 2024 included charges related to environmental reserves for remediation actions associated with historic operations at certain of our facilities. The company’s results in 2023 included costs, including associated legal fees related to matters involving alleged violations of the False Claims Act related to a now-discontinued legacy Hillrom sales line and alleged injury from environmental exposure.
7The company's results of discontinued operations in 2024 and 2023 included separation-related costs primarily related to external advisors supporting its activities to prepare for the pending sale of its Kidney Care segment. The company's results in 2023 also included separation-related costs related to the sale of its BioPharma Solutions (BPS) business.
8The company's results of discontinued operations in 2023 included long-lived asset impairment charges related to the Hemodialysis business within its Kidney Care segment.
9The company's results of discontinued operations in 2023 included a gain from the sale of the BPS business.
10The company's results of continuing operations in 2024 included tax items consisting of a valuation allowance recorded to reduce the carrying amount of a tax attributable carryforward in the U.S. related to the pending sale of its Kidney Care segment, partially offset by application of the intraperiod tax allocation between continuing operations and discontinued operations. The company's results of continuing operations in 2023 included an increase in a valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction resulting from changes in future projected income and a reallocation of income tax expense between discontinued operations and continuing operations resulting from the application of intraperiod tax allocation to its adjusted results in an interim period.

1.The company’s results in 2024 and 2023 included costs related to programs to optimize its organization and cost structure. The company's results of continuing operations in 2024 and 2023 included costs primarily related to our implementation of a new operating model intended to simplify and streamline our operations and better align our manufacturing and supply chain to our commercial activities, third-party costs incurred to support the transformation of certain general and administrative functions and the integration of its acquisition of Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (Hillrom). The company's results of discontinued operations in 2024 and 2023, included costs primarily related to a program to centralize certain of its research and development activities into a new location, property plant and equipment impairments in connection with the transfer of a manufacturing production line as part of its initiatives to optimize its global manufacturing and supply chain organization, the decision to cease production of dialyzers at one of its U.S.-based manufacturing facilities, which resulted in a $243 million noncash impairment of property, plant and equipment in the second quarter of the prior year period.
2.The company’s results in 2024 and 2023 included integration-related items comprised of Hillrom acquisition and integration expenses. In 2023 those costs are offset by net gains from changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities.
3.The company’s results in 2024 and 2023 included incremental costs to comply with the European Union’s medical device regulations for previously registered products, which primarily consist of contractor costs and other direct third-party costs. The company considers the adoption of these regulations to be a significant one-time regulatory change and believes that the costs of initial compliance for previously registered products over the implementation period are not indicative of its core operating results.
4.The company's results in 2024 included charges related to a revised estimate of warranty and remediation activities arising from a field corrective action on certain of our infusion pumps initially recorded in 2022.
5.The company's results in 2024 included net charges related to Hurricane Helene. This amount consisted of a charge related to damaged inventory and fixed assets, partially offset by a benefit related to insurance recoveries expected as a result of those asset write-offs.
6.The company’s results in 2024 included charges related to environmental reserves for remediation actions associated with historic operations at certain of our facilities. The company’s results in 2023 included costs, including associated legal fees related to matters involving alleged violations of the False Claims Act related to a now-discontinued legacy Hillrom sales line and alleged injury from environmental exposure.
7.The company's results of continuing operations in 2023 included losses from non-marketable investments in several early stage companies, consisting of noncash impairment write-downs, partially offset by a $3 million gain from the sale of an investment. The company's results of discontinued operations in 2023 included losses from non-marketable investments in several early stage companies, consisting of noncash impairment write-downs.
8.The company's results of discontinued operations in 2024 and 2023 included separation-related costs primarily related to external advisors supporting its activities to prepare for the pending sale of its Kidney Care segment. The company's results in 2023 also included separation-related costs related to the sale of its BioPharma Solutions (BPS) business.
9.The company's results of discontinued operations in 2024 included a charge related to a goodwill impairment of the company's Chronic Therapies reporting unit within its Kidney Care segment.
10.The company's results of discontinued operations in 2023 included long-lived asset impairment charges related to the Hemodialysis business within its Kidney Care segment.
11.The company's results of discontinued operations in 2023 included a gain from the sale of its BPS business.
12.The company's results in 2024 included income tax items consisting of a $26 million valuation allowance recorded to reduce the carrying amount of a tax attribute carryforward in the U.S. and internal reorganization transactions related to the pending sale of our Kidney Care segment. The company’s results in 2023, included a $30 million increase related to its estimated recoverability of a deferred tax asset for a net asset step-up related to Swiss tax reform legislation enacted during 2019 that is amortizable as a tax deduction ratably over tax years 2025 through 2029, an increase in a valuation allowance in the U.S. resulting from changes in future projected income and a reallocation of income tax expense between discontinued operations and continuing operations resulting from the application of intraperiod tax allocation to its adjusted results in an interim period.

Baxter calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures based on forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. For instance, forward-looking annual operational sales guidance represents the company's targeted future sales growth excluding sales to Vantive under the related manufacturing supply agreement and assuming foreign currency exchange rates remain constant in future periods. Additionally, forward-looking full year 2025 adjusted operating margin guidance and forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes potential charges or gains that would be reflected as non-GAAP adjustments to earnings. Baxter provides forward-looking annual operational sales growth guidance, forward-looking full year 2025 adjusted operating margin guidance and forward-looking adjusted diluted EPS guidance because it believes that these measures provide useful information for the reasons noted in the accompanying release. Baxter has not provided reconciliations of forward-looking annual operational sales growth guidance to forward-looking GAAP reported sales growth guidance, forward-looking full year 2025 adjusted operating margin guidance to forward-looking GAAP operating margin guidance and forward-looking adjusted EPS guidance to forward-looking GAAP EPS guidance for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024 because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the impact of legal proceedings, future business optimization actions, separation-related costs, integration-related costs, asset impairments, unusual gains and losses, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and the related amounts are unavailable without unreasonable efforts (as specified in the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K). In addition, Baxter believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of financial performance.
