Pay Versus Performance

The disclosure in this section shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing by Danaher under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent Danaher specifically incorporates it by reference therein.

Provided below is the Company’s “pay versus performance” disclosure as required pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act. As required by Item 402(v), we have included:

• A list of the most important measures that our Compensation Committee used in 2024 to link a measure of pay calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) (referred to as “compensation actually paid”, or “CAP”) to Company performance;

• A table that compares the total compensation of our named executive officers’ (also known as NEOs) as presented in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table on page 53(“SCT”) to CAP and that compares CAP to specified performance measures; and

• Graphs that describe:

◦ the relationship between CAP, our TSR and the TSR of the S&P 500 Health Care Index (“Peer Group TSR”);

◦ the relationship between CAP and our GAAP Net Income; and

◦ the relationship between CAP and our Company selected measure, non-GAAP adjusted diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations (“Adjusted EPS”).

Salary, Bonus, Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation, Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings and All Other Compensation are each calculated in the same manner for purposes of both CAP and SCT. There are two primary differences between the calculation of CAP and SCT total compensation:

|                         |     | SCT Total                                                                |     | CAP                                                                                                                                                            |
| Pension                 |     | Year over year change in the actuarial present value of pension benefits |     | Current year service cost and any prior year service cost (if a plan amendment occurred during the year)                                                       |
| Stock and Option Awards |     | Grant date fair value of stock and option awards granted during the year |     | Year over year change in the fair value of stock and option awards that are unvested as of the end of the year, or vested or were forfeited during the year(1) |
