**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(UNAUDITED)**

In this report, "Intuitive," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Intuitive Surgical, Inc. and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries.

**NOTE 1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS**

Intuitive develops, manufactures, and markets da Vinci<sup>®</sup> surgical systems and the Ion<sup>®</sup> endoluminal system. The Company's products and related services enable physicians and healthcare providers to improve the quality of and access to minimally invasive care. The da Vinci surgical system is designed to enable surgeons to perform a wide range of surgical procedures within our targeted general surgery, urologic, gynecologic, cardiothoracic, and head and neck specialties and consists of a surgeon console or consoles, a patient-side cart, and a high-performance vision system. The Ion endoluminal system is a flexible, robotic-assisted, catheter-based platform for which the first cleared indication is minimally invasive biopsies in the lung and consists of a system cart, a controller, a catheter, and a vision probe. Both systems use software, instruments, and accessories.

**NOTE 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

***Basis of Presentation***

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ("Financial Statements") and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial reporting. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Financial Statements of Intuitive Surgical, Inc. and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries have been prepared on a consistent basis with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and include all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth herein. All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on February 3, 2026. The results of operations for the first three months of 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any future periods.

The Financial Statements include the results and balances of the Company's majority-owned joint ventures, Intuitive Surgical-Fosun Medical Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Intuitive Surgical-Fosun (HongKong) Co., Ltd. (collectively, the "Joint Venture"), with Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd. ("Fosun Pharma"). The Company holds a controlling financial interest in the Joint Venture, and the noncontrolling interest is reflected as a separate component of the condensed consolidated stockholders' equity. The noncontrolling interest's share of the earnings in the Joint Venture is presented separately in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

***Risks and Uncertainties***

The Company's future results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected by uncertainties surrounding macroeconomic and geopolitical factors in both the U.S. and globally. These uncertainties include any introduction or modification of tariffs or trade barriers, inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, disruptions in commodity markets stemming from conflicts, such as those between Russia and Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East, including those with Iran, and supply chain challenges.

Recent tariff changes imposed by the U.S. and other countries have created increased risks and uncertainties surrounding the Company's future results of operations. The U.S. import tariffs, along with any reciprocal measures by other countries, may increase the Company's cost of raw materials and finished goods imported from outside of the U.S. Additionally, the Company anticipates that some of its suppliers will incur incremental tariff-related costs, which may be passed on to the Company. The ultimate impact of changes to tariffs or trade barriers will depend on various factors, including the timing, amount, scope, and nature of any tariffs or trade barriers that are implemented.

***Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements***

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-05, *Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets* ("ASU 2025-05")*,* which provides a practical expedient and an accounting policy election related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January

------

1, 2026, on a prospective basis. In connection with this adoption, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient permitted by the standard, which assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the assets. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

***Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses* ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company's annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software* ("ASU 2025-06"), which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this pronouncement on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

No other recently adopted or issued accounting pronouncements had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company regularly reviews the securities in an unrealized loss position and evaluates the current expected credit loss by considering factors such as historical experience, market data, financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee,

------

the extent of the loss related to the credit of the issuer, and the expected cash flows from the security. The Company segments its portfolio based on the underlying risk profiles of the securities and has a zero-loss expectation for U.S. treasury and U.S. government agency securities. The basis for this assumption is that these securities have consistently high credit ratings by rating agencies, have a long history with no credit losses, are explicitly guaranteed by a sovereign entity, which can print its own currency, and are denominated in a currency that is routinely held by central banks, used in international commerce, and commonly viewed as a reserve currency. Additionally, all of the Company's investments in corporate debt securities and municipal securities are in securities with high-quality credit ratings, which have historically experienced low rates of default.

The current unrealized losses on the Company's available-for-sale debt securities were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. As of March 31, 2026, the Company does not intend to sell the investments in unrealized loss positions, and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell any of the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Therefore, the Company does not expect to realize any losses on these available-for-sale debt securities. Additional factors considered in determining the treatment of unrealized losses include the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, the extent of the loss related to the credit of the issuer, and the expected cash flows from the security.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities were not material.

***Equity Investments***

The Company's equity investments may, at any time, consist of equity investments with and without readily determinable fair values. The Company generally recognizes equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

The following table is a summary of the activity related to equity investments (in millions):

---

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, for equity investments without readily determinable fair value, the Company recognized a net increase in fair value of $0.6 million, driven by increases in observable price changes, which were recognized in interest and other income, net.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not hold any equity investments with readily determinable fair values.

***Foreign Currency Derivatives***

The objective of the Company's hedging program is to mitigate the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on net cash flow from foreign currency-denominated sales, expenses, intercompany balances, and other monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar ("USD"). The terms of the Company's derivative contracts are generally thirteen months or shorter. The derivative assets and liabilities are measured using Level 2 fair value inputs.

*Cash Flow Hedges*

The Company enters into currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to hedge certain forecasted revenue transactions denominated in currencies other than the USD, primarily the Euro ("EUR"), the Japanese Yen ("JPY"), the Korean Won ("KRW"), the British Pound ("GBP"), the New Taiwan Dollar ("TWD"), the Indian Rupee ("INR"), and the Canadian Dollar ("CAD"). The Company also enters into currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges to hedge certain forecasted expense transactions denominated in the Swiss Franc ("CHF") and in EUR.

For these derivatives, the Company reports the unrealized after-tax gain or loss from the hedge as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity and reclassifies the amount into earnings in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amounts reclassified to revenue and expenses related to the hedged transactions and the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025.

------

*Other Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments*

Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist primarily of forward contracts that the Company uses to hedge intercompany balances and other monetary assets or liabilities denominated in currencies other than the USD, primarily the EUR, JPY, KRW, INR, TWD, GBP, the Chinese Yuan ("CNY"), and the Mexican Peso ("MXN").

These derivative instruments are used to hedge against balance sheet foreign currency exposures. The related gains and losses were as follows (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |
| Recognized gains (losses) in interest and other income, net | $18.0 | $(10.5) |
| Foreign exchange gains (losses) related to balance sheet re-measurement | $(19.2) | $7.7 |

***Remaining Performance Obligations***

The transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations relates to amounts allocated to products and services for which revenue has not yet been recognized. A significant portion of these performance obligations relate to service obligations in the Company's system sale and lease arrangements that will be satisfied and recognized as revenue in future periods. The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was $3.3 billion as of March 31, 2026. The remaining performance obligations are expected to be satisfied over the term of the system sale, lease, and service arrangements. Approximately half of the remaining performance obligations are expected to be recognized in the next 12 months with the remainder recognized thereafter over the term of the system sale, lease, and service arrangements, which are generally up to 5 years.

***Trade Accounts Receivable***

The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company's assessment of the collectibility of customer accounts. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, bad debt expense was not material.

The Company's exposure to credit losses may increase if its customers are adversely affected by changes in healthcare laws, procedure coverage and reimbursement, economic pressures or uncertainty associated with local or global economic recessions, or other customer-specific factors. Although the Company has historically not experienced significant credit losses, it is possible that there could be a material adverse impact from potential adjustments of the carrying amount of lease and trade receivables as hospital cash flows are impacted by macroeconomic factors, including inflation, tariffs, high interest rates, and staffing shortages.

The Company enters into sales-type leases with certain qualified customers to purchase its systems. Sales-type leases have terms that generally range from 24 to 84 months and are usually collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. The allowance for loan loss is based on the Company's assessment of the current expected lifetime loss on lease receivables. The Company regularly reviews the allowance by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the lease receivable balances, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay. Lease receivables are considered past due 90 days after invoice.

The Company manages the credit risk of the net investment in sales-type leases using a number of factors relating to its customers, including, but not limited to, the following: size of operations; profitability, liquidity, and debt ratios; payment history; and past due amounts. The Company also uses credit scores obtained from external providers as a key indicator for the purposes of determining credit quality.

The purchase consideration was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess recorded to goodwill. The fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change over the measurement period as additional information is received. The Company expects to finalize the allocation of purchase consideration as soon as practicable and no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the components of the intangible assets acquired and their estimated weighted-average useful lives (in millions, except years):

**NOTE 8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONTINGENCIES**

From time to time, the Company is involved in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings relating to securities laws, product liability, intellectual property, commercial, insurance, contract disputes, employment, and other matters. Certain of these lawsuits and claims are described in further detail below. It is not possible to predict what the outcome of these matters will be, and the Company cannot guarantee that any resolution will be reached on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

A liability and related charge to earnings are recorded in the Financial Statements for legal contingencies when the loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The assessment is re-evaluated each accounting period and is based on all available information, including the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to each case. Nevertheless, it is possible that additional future legal costs (including settlements, judgments, legal fees, and other related defense costs) could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or future results of operations.

***Product Liability Litigation***

The Company is currently named as a defendant in a number of individual product liability lawsuits filed in various state and federal courts. The plaintiffs generally allege that they or a family member underwent surgical procedures that utilized the da Vinci surgical system and sustained a variety of personal injuries and, in some cases, death as a result of such surgery.

The cases raise a variety of allegations including, to varying degrees, that plaintiffs' injuries resulted from purported defects in the da Vinci surgical system and/or failure on the Company's part to provide adequate training resources to the healthcare professionals who performed plaintiffs' surgeries. The cases further allege that the Company failed to adequately disclose and/or misrepresented the potential risks and/or benefits of the da Vinci surgical system. Plaintiffs also assert a variety

------

of causes of action, including, for example, strict liability based on purported design defects, negligence, fraud, breach of express and implied warranties, unjust enrichment, and loss of consortium. Plaintiffs seek recovery for alleged personal injuries and, in many cases, punitive damages. The Company disputes these allegations and is defending against these claims.

The Company's estimate of the anticipated cost of resolving the pending cases is based on negotiations with attorneys for the claimants. The final outcome of the pending lawsuits and claims, and others that might arise, is dependent on many variables that are difficult to predict, and the ultimate cost associated with these product liability lawsuits and claims may be materially different than the amount of the current estimate and accruals and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or future results of operations. Although there is a reasonable possibility that a loss in excess of the amount recognized exists, the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss in excess of the amount recognized at this time.

***Commercial Litigation***

On May 10, 2021, Surgical Instrument Service Company, Inc. ("SIS") filed a complaint in the Northern District of California Court alleging antitrust claims against the Company relating to EndoWrist service, maintenance, and repair processes. The Court granted in part and denied in part the Company's Motion to Dismiss, and discovery has commenced. The Company filed an answer denying the antitrust allegations and filed counterclaims against SIS. The counterclaims allege that SIS violated the Federal Lanham Act, California's Unfair Competition Law, and California's False Advertising Law and that SIS is also liable to the Company for Unfair Competition and Tortious Interference with Contract. The parties filed summary judgment motions, and the Court held a hearing on these motions on September 7, 2023.

On March 31, 2024, the Court granted-in-part and denied-in-part both Intuitive's and plaintiff's motions for summary judgment. Trial in this matter commenced on January 6, 2025. On January 28, 2025, after the close of both plaintiff's and Intuitive's cases in chief, the Court found in Intuitive's favor on all of SIS's antitrust claims and stayed Intuitive's counterclaims. On February 27, 2025, SIS filed a Notice of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. SIS filed its brief on July 23, 2025. The Company filed its response brief on October 29, 2025. SIS filed its reply brief on December 26, 2025. Oral argument is scheduled for June 25, 2026. Based on currently available information, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this matter.

Three class action complaints were filed against the Company in the Northern District of California Court alleging antitrust allegations relating to the service and repair of certain instruments manufactured by the Company. A complaint by Larkin Community Hospital was filed on May 20, 2021, a complaint by Franciscan Alliance, Inc. and King County Public Hospital District No. 1 was filed on July 6, 2021, and a complaint by Kaleida Health was filed on July 8, 2021. The Court has consolidated the Franciscan Alliance, Inc. and King County Public Hospital District No. 1 and Kaleida Health cases with the Larkin Community Hospital case, which is now captioned on the Larkin docket as "In Re: da Vinci Surgical Robot Antitrust Litigation." A Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint has been filed on behalf of each plaintiff named in the earlier-filed cases. On January 14, 2022, Kaleida Health voluntarily dismissed itself as a party to this case. On January 18, 2022, the Company filed an answer against the plaintiffs in this matter, and discovery has commenced.

With regard to this class action case, on September 7, 2023, the Court heard argument on the parties' respective motions for summary judgment and motions related to expert testimony. On March 31, 2024, the Court granted-in-part and denied-in-part plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment on certain market definition issues and denied Intuitive's motion on the antitrust claims. In denying Intuitive's motion, the Court declined to decide whether third-party companies were required to obtain 510(k) clearance for their services with respect to EndoWrist instruments, and in the absence of a formal ruling from the FDA on that question denied Intuitive's motion for summary judgment challenging plaintiffs' standing on that ground. There were additional rulings on the expert witness issues as well. In the summary judgment order, the Court ruled with plaintiffs that the da Vinci robot and EndoWrist instruments occupy separate product markets for antitrust purposes. The Court also ruled that there is an antitrust aftermarket for the repair and replacement of EndoWrist instruments, and that Intuitive holds monopoly power in that aftermarket. The Court denied summary judgment for plaintiffs on the issue of whether soft-tissue surgical robots constitute a relevant antitrust market or are part of a larger market that includes laparoscopic and open surgery for antitrust purposes. On July 30, 2024, the Court granted Intuitive's motion for reconsideration, vacating those portions of the Court's March 31, 2024, Order granting summary judgment as to the definition of a U.S. market for EndoWrist instrument repair and replacement and Intuitive's market power in such a market. On March 31, 2025, the Court granted plaintiff's motion for class certification. No trial date has been scheduled for this matter. Based on currently available information, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this matter.

On September 18, 2024, Restore Robotics Repairs ("Restore") filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida alleging antitrust claims against the Company relating to the service and replacement of X/Xi EndoWrist instruments for use with the da Vinci X and Xi surgical systems. On December 9, 2024, Intuitive filed a motion to dismiss to which plaintiff responded by amending its complaint. Intuitive filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint on January 31, 2025. Plaintiff filed an opposition to Intuitive's motion to dismiss on February 14, 2025, and Intuitive filed a

------

reply on March 26, 2025. On November 7, 2025, the Court entered an Order granting Intuitive's motion to dismiss. Plaintiff filed its notice of appeal to the 11<sup>th</sup> Circuit Court of Appeals on November 29, 2025. Restore's initial brief was filed on February 11, 2026. Intuitive's response is due on May 13, 2026. Based on currently available information, the Company is unable to make a reasonable estimate of loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this matter.

***Stock Repurchase Program***

Through March 31, 2026, the Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized an aggregate of $13.0 billion of funding for the Company's common stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") since its establishment in March 2009.

As of March 31, 2026, options to purchase an aggregate of 4.8 million shares of common stock were exercisable at a weighted-average price of $210.11 per share.

***Performance Stock Units***

The Company grants performance stock units ("PSUs") to officers and other key employees subject to three-year cliff vesting and pre-established, quantitative goals. Whether any PSUs vest, and the amount that do vest, is tied to completion of service over three years and the achievement of three equally-weighted, quantitative goals that directly align with or help drive the Company's strategy and long-term total shareholder return.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had four types of PSU awards: the 2023 PSU awards, the 2024 PSU awards, the 2025 PSU awards, and the 2026 PSU awards. The 2023 PSU grant metrics were focused on relative total shareholder return ("TSR"), da Vinci and Ion procedure growth in 2024 compared to 2022, and da Vinci and Ion procedure growth in 2025 compared to 2022. The 2023 PSU awards vested in the first quarter of 2026. The 2024 PSU grant metrics are focused on relative TSR, da Vinci and Ion procedure growth in 2025 compared to 2023, and da Vinci and Ion procedure growth in 2026 compared to 2023. The 2025 PSU grant metrics are focused on relative adjusted operating margin as compared to selected peers, da Vinci and Ion procedure growth in 2026 compared to 2024, and da Vinci and Ion procedure growth in 2027 compared to 2024. The 2026 PSU grant metrics are focused on relative adjusted operating margin as compared to selected peers, total procedure growth in 2027 compared to 2025, and total procedure growth in 2028 compared to 2025.

The TSR metric used in the 2023 and 2024 PSU awards is considered a market condition, and the expense is determined at the grant date. The procedure growth and relative adjusted operating margin metrics are considered performance conditions, and the expense is recorded based on the forecasted performance, which is reassessed each reporting period based on the probability of achieving the performance conditions. The number of shares earned at the end of the three-year period will vary, based on actual performance, from 0% to 125% of the target number of PSUs granted. PSUs are subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to the vesting date. PSUs are not considered issued or outstanding shares of the Company.

The Company calculates the fair value for each component of the PSUs individually. The fair value for the component with the TSR metric was determined using Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value per share for the components with the procedure growth metrics is equal to the closing stock price on the grant date.

***Share-Based Compensation Expense***

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |
| Cost of revenue – product | $29.3 | $30.2 |

**NOTE 11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INCOME TAXES**

Income tax expense was $114.4 million, or 12.2% of income before taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to an income tax benefit of $35.2 million, or (5.3)% of income before taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the excess tax benefits associated with employee equity plans and the federal research and development credit benefit, partially offset by state income taxes (net of the federal benefit).

------

The Company's provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, included excess tax benefits associated with employee equity plans of $73.3 million and $145.4 million, respectively, which reduced the Company's effective tax rate by 7.8 and 21.8 percentage points, respectively.

The Company files federal, state, and foreign income tax returns in many jurisdictions in the U.S. and OUS. Years before 2020 are considered closed for significant jurisdictions. Certain of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits could change due to activities of various tax authorities, including evolving interpretations of existing tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, potential assessment of additional tax, possible settlement of audits, or through normal expiration of various statutes of limitations, which could affect the Company's effective tax rate in the period in which they change.

The Company is subject to the examination of its income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The outcome of these audits cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company's management regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of the Company's provision for income taxes. If any issues addressed in the Company's tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management's expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs.

**NOTE 12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NET INCOME PER SHARE**

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Intuitive Surgical, Inc. (in millions, except per share amounts):

**Overview**

As part of our mission, we believe that minimally invasive care is life-enhancing care. Since our founding over 30 years ago, we have been delivering on this mission by combining innovative technology with clinical expertise to advance minimally invasive care. We do so by providing a comprehensive ecosystem that includes robotic-assisted systems, instruments and accessories, customer learning, and support services all connected by a digital portfolio that enables actionable insights across the care continuum.

To ensure continued alignment with the patients and healthcare communities we serve, we have adopted the Quintuple Aim as our "north star." Starting foremost with a focus on patients, we seek to demonstrate that our products can deliver better outcomes that are validated by rigorous peer-reviewed evidence. Second, we aim to work with clinicians and care teams to create better patient experiences that enable patients to more quickly get back to what matters most in their lives, with fewer complications, less pain and discomfort, and greater predictability. Third, we aim to enable the care teams who use our platforms and technology-enabled ecosystem to have better experiences that augment their skills while reducing fatigue and increasing efficiency and reliability. Fourth, we aim to help lower the total cost of care per patient episode when compared with existing treatment alternatives, providing a return on investment for hospitals and healthcare systems and value for payers. Lastly, we aim to expand access to high-quality minimally invasive care by partnering with hospitals, healthcare systems, and patient advocacy groups to address barriers to care.

Open surgery remains a prevalent form of surgery and is used in almost every area of the body. However, the large incisions required for open surgery create trauma to patients, typically resulting in longer hospitalization and recovery times, increased hospitalization costs, and additional pain and suffering relative to minimally invasive surgery ("MIS"), where MIS is available. For over four decades, MIS has reduced trauma to patients by allowing selected surgeries to be performed through small ports rather than large incisions. MIS has been widely adopted for certain surgical procedures.

Da Vinci surgical systems enable surgeons to extend the benefits of MIS to many patients who would otherwise undergo a more invasive surgery. Our da Vinci surgical systems are designed to address certain limitations of traditional open surgical or conventional MIS approaches through enhances in visualization, precision, and ergonomics. Our da Vinci products fall into five broad categories: da Vinci surgical systems, da Vinci instruments and accessories, da Vinci stapling, da Vinci energy, and da Vinci vision. We provide a comprehensive suite of systems, learning, and services offerings that are digitally enabled and aim to reduce variability by providing dependable, consistent functionality and an integrated user experience. We have a global network of field service engineers and distributors through which we deliver a suite of services, including installation, repair, maintenance, around-the-clock technical support, and system monitoring. We also offer customized analytics and consultation to hospitals for program optimization.

We have commercialized the following da Vinci surgical systems: the da Vinci standard surgical system in 1999, the da Vinci S surgical system in 2006, the da Vinci Si surgical system in 2009, the fourth-generation da Vinci Xi surgical system in 2014, and the fifth-generation da Vinci 5 surgical system in 2024. We extended our fourth-generation platform by adding the da Vinci X surgical system, commercialized in 2017 and targeted at more cost-sensitive geographic markets.

In March 2024, we obtained FDA clearance for our da Vinci 5 surgical system, our next-generation multi-port robotic system, for use in all surgical specialties and procedures indicated for da Vinci Xi, except for cardiac and pediatric indications. In October 2024, we obtained regulatory clearance in South Korea for the da Vinci 5 surgical system for use in urologic, general, gynecologic, thoracoscopic, thoracoscopically-assisted cardiotomy, and transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures. In June 2025, we obtained regulatory clearance in Japan for the da Vinci 5 surgical system for use in all surgical specialties and procedures indicated for da Vinci Xi, except for cardiac indications. In July 2025, we obtained European certification in accordance with the EU MDR for the da Vinci 5 surgical system for adult and pediatric use in minimally invasive endoscopic procedures across abdominopelvic and thoracoscopic surgical procedures, including urologic, gynecologic, and general laparoscopic procedures, excluding the use of force feedback. We intend to seek European certification for the use of force feedback in the future. In select geographic markets outside of the U.S. ("OUS") where we have obtained regulatory clearance, we have launched our da Vinci 5 surgical system. As of March 31, 2026, we have an installed base of 1,464 da Vinci 5 surgical systems, of which 105 systems are located in geographic markets outside of the U.S.

Additionally, we extended our fourth-generation platform by adding the da Vinci SP surgical system, commercialized in 2018. The da Vinci SP surgical system accesses the body through a single incision, while the other da Vinci surgical systems

------

access the body through multiple incisions. We are in the early stages of launching our da Vinci SP surgical system, and we have an installed base of 410 da Vinci SP surgical systems as of March 31, 2026. We have received FDA clearance for the da Vinci SP surgical system for urologic, colorectal, general thoracoscopic, and certain transoral procedures. Additionally, the da Vinci SP surgical system has received regulatory clearance in South Korea for a broad set of procedures. The da Vinci SP surgical system has also received regulatory clearance in Japan for the same set of procedures that are currently allowed with the da Vinci Xi surgical system in Japan. In January 2024, the da Vinci SP surgical system received European certification in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2017 on medical devices (the "EU MDR") for use in endoscopic abdominopelvic, thoracoscopic, transoral otolaryngology, transanal colorectal, and breast surgical procedures, and we are broadening the commercialization of the da Vinci SP surgical system in additional countries and surgical specialties. In August 2024, we obtained regulatory clearance in Taiwan for our da Vinci SP surgical system for use in endoscopic abdominopelvic, thoracoscopic, transoral otolaryngology, transanal colorectal, transanal total mesorectal excision, and breast surgical procedures. We plan to seek FDA clearances for additional indications for the da Vinci SP surgical system and expand the system's regulatory approvals (including for additional indications) in other OUS geographic markets over time. The success of the da Vinci SP surgical system is dependent on positive experiences and improved clinical outcomes for the procedures for which it has been cleared as well as securing additional clinical clearances.

We offer approximately 70 different multi-port da Vinci instruments to provide surgeons with flexibility in choosing the types of tools needed to perform a particular surgery. These multi-port instruments are generally robotically controlled and provide end effectors (tips) that are similar to those used in either open or laparoscopic surgery. We offer advanced instrumentation for the da Vinci 5, da Vinci X, and da Vinci Xi surgical systems, including da Vinci energy and da Vinci stapler products, to provide surgeons with sophisticated, computer-aided tools to precisely and efficiently interact with tissue. The da Vinci 5, da Vinci X, and da Vinci Xi surgical systems generally share the same instruments, whereas the da Vinci Si surgical system uses instruments that are not compatible with the da Vinci 5, da Vinci X, and da Vinci Xi systems. Additionally, we have introduced a unique set of force feedback instruments that are only compatible with our da Vinci 5 surgical system. We also currently offer 16 core instruments on our da Vinci SP surgical system. We plan to expand our da Vinci SP instrument offering over time.

Our learning and enabling technology offerings facilitate access to education and training on our products. Our enabling technologies include telepresence and Advanced Insights Suite (which includes Case Insights and Insights Engine), and our learning technology solutions include Intuitive Learning, SimNow, customized training models, remote case observations, and remote proctoring.

In 2019, we commercialized our Ion endoluminal system, which is a flexible, robotic-assisted, catheter-based platform that utilizes instruments and accessories for which the first cleared indication is minimally invasive biopsies in the lung. Our Ion system extends our commercial offering beyond surgery into diagnostic, endoluminal procedures. The system features an ultra-thin, ultra-maneuverable catheter that can articulate 180 degrees in all directions and allows navigation far into the peripheral lung and provides the stability necessary for precision in a biopsy. Many suspicious lesions found in the lung may be small and difficult to access, which can make diagnosis challenging, and Ion helps physicians obtain tissue samples from deep within the lung, which could help enable earlier diagnosis. Our Ion endoluminal system has received FDA clearance, and OUS regulatory clearances include European certification in accordance with the EU MDR, regulatory clearance in South Korea, and National Medical Products Administration ("NMPA") regulatory clearance in China. We plan to seek additional clearances, approvals, and certifications for our Ion endoluminal system in OUS geographic markets over time.

The success of new product introductions depends on a number of factors including, but not limited to, pricing, competition, geographic market and consumer acceptance, the effective forecasting and management of product demand, inventory levels, the management of manufacturing and supply costs, and the risk that new products may have quality or other defects in the early stages of introduction.

***Trade and Tariffs Update***

Beginning in 2025, the U.S. implemented a baseline tariff framework on most imports with higher country- and product-specific rates for certain trading partners, including Mexico, Germany, and China, among others, alongside reciprocal measures announced by other jurisdictions. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that these tariffs levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") are unconstitutional. As a result of this ruling, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an order directing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") agency to begin formalizing a process for refunds. On April 20, 2026, the CBP launched an online portal that can be used to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests. All requests will be reviewed by the CBP to determine validity prior to the issuance of refunds. In response to the Supreme Court's ruling, a new 10% tariff for all imports under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 was imposed. These tariffs took effect on February 24, 2026, and will remain in effect for 150 days, the maximum period that Section 122 permits without

------

congressional action. However, previous exclusions, such as for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement ("USMCA"), remain in place.

We currently manufacture a significant majority of our instruments and accessories in Mexicali, Mexico. Most of these products qualify as originating under the USMCA and, therefore, have not been subject to U.S. import tariffs to date. We also import certain raw materials and finished goods from outside of the U.S. that are subject to tariffs, including our endoscopes, a majority of which are manufactured in Germany. In addition, our operations involve importing certain raw materials from China, importing sub-assemblies to support our local da Vinci Xi surgical system manufacturing in China, and selling U.S.-manufactured da Vinci Xi surgical systems into China. These imports into the U.S. and China are subject to tariffs, which we expect to continue to have an adverse impact on the product cost of our da Vinci Xi surgical system in China.

Some of our suppliers have also incurred incremental tariffs and have passed or may pass on those additional costs to us. These pass-through tariffs and other specific tariff actions against steel and aluminum, critical minerals, semiconductors, and other products have not had a material direct impact on our operations to date, but the long-term effect of these and other existing and future tariff actions is difficult to predict.

U.S. tariffs have also given rise to trade measures by other countries, including additional restrictions on certain exports. These trade measures could impact the reliability and efficiency of our supply chain if they are imposed on materials important to our production operations. In particular, restrictions on the export of rare earth elements, including magnets, and critical minerals from China could potentially restrict access to components used in many of our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, tariffs and other trade measures recognized in total cost of revenue were approximately $28 million. Future changes to tariff rates and the imposition of new tariffs by the U.S. and/or other countries could result in a material impact to our results of operations. The ultimate impact of changes to tariffs and trade barriers will depend on various factors, including the timing, amount, scope, and nature of any tariffs or trade barriers that are implemented, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

***Other Macroeconomic Environment Factors***

Our future results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected by uncertainties surrounding macroeconomic and geopolitical factors both in the U.S. and globally. These uncertainties include any introduction or modification of tariffs or trade barriers as well as supply chain constraints resulting from inflationary pressures, elevated interest rates, and disruptions in the commodity markets associated with conflicts, including those between Russia and Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East, including those with Iran.

Existing tariffs and country-specific trade requirements, including export licensing controls between major economies, may contribute to future cost inflation in certain raw materials and/or may result in supply constraints due to shipment delays or limited availability of alternative sources for critical materials used in the manufacture of our products. Elevated interest rates may also impact the ability of certain suppliers to fund necessary investments in capacity and infrastructure. Any financial distress or insolvency of suppliers, including sole- and single-sourced suppliers, could present heightened supply continuity risks.

In addition, while the conflict in the Middle East has not resulted in any material disruption to the supply of component materials that we source directly or the delivery of our products to customers, we continue to monitor supplier operations, commodity markets, and transportation-related factors, including shipping lanes. These factors could adversely affect the availability and cost of raw materials sourced by our direct suppliers, as well as the cost and timing of transporting our products to customers.

We are also experiencing increasing lead times and cost pressures for certain semiconductor materials, including memory, driven by accelerated demand associated with data processing and storage applications. While these dynamics have not had a material impact on our business to date, they may result in material cost pressures and supply constraints in future periods.

Although incidents of cybersecurity breaches have not significantly impacted our supply chain to date, such risks continue to be actively monitored given their potential to disrupt supplier operations and logistics networks. We have mitigation measures in place intended to address potential supply chain disruptions and their impact on our operations.

Certain hospitals are facing significant financial pressure as supply chain constraints and inflation have driven up operating costs and elevated interest rates have made access to credit more expensive. Hospitals may also be adversely affected by the liquidity concerns as a result of the broader macroeconomic environment. Any or all of these factors could negatively impact the number of da Vinci procedures performed or surgical systems placed and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

**Regulatory Activities**

Our products must meet the requirements of a large and growing body of international regulations and standards that govern the product safety, efficacy, advertising, labeling, safety reporting design, manufacture, materials content and sourcing, testing, certification, packaging, installation, use, and disposal of our products. Examples of such standards include electrical safety standards, such as those of the International Electrotechnical Commission, and composition standards, such as the Reduction of Hazardous Substances and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directives in the European Union ("EU"). Failure to meet these standards could limit our ability to market our products in those regions that require compliance with such standards.

Our products and operations are also subject to increasingly stringent medical device, privacy, and other regulations by national, regional, federal, state, and local authorities. After a device is placed on the market, numerous FDA and comparable foreign regulatory requirements continue to apply. These requirements include establishment registration, potential quality system and manufacturing audits and inspections, and device listing with the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities and compliance with medical device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities if their device caused or contributed, or may have caused or contributed, to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if it were to recur.

We anticipate that timelines for the introduction of new products and/or indications may be extended relative to past experience as a result of these regulations. For example, we have seen elongated regulatory approval timelines in the U.S. and Europe.

***Clearances, Approvals, and Certifications***

We have generally obtained the regulatory clearances, approvals, and certifications required to market our products for our targeted surgical specialties within the U.S., South Korea, Japan, and the European markets in which we operate. We have additionally obtained regulatory clearances, approvals, and certifications for the following products over the past several years:

*Da Vinci Surgical Systems*

<u>Multi-port</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In March 2026, we obtained FDA clearance for updates to our force feedback instruments used with our da Vinci 5 surgical system, including approval for extended instrument lives. Five of the six force feedback instruments were cleared for up to 15 uses, while the remaining instrument was cleared for up to 10 uses. Following this clearance, as we increase manufacturing volumes of these force feedback instruments, they will become broadly available for use with our da Vinci 5 surgical system.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In January 2026, we obtained FDA clearance for the use of our da Vinci 5 surgical system in selected thoracoscopically-assisted cardiac surgical procedures using non-force feedback instruments, including mitral valve repair and replacement, tricuspid valve repair, IMA mobilization for cardiac revascularization, patent foramen ovale closure, atrial septal defect repair, left atrial appendage closure/occlusion, atrial myxoma excision, and epicardial pacing lead placement procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In September 2025, we obtained regulatory clearance in Japan for our Vessel Sealer Curved for use with our da Vinci 5, da Vinci X, and da Vinci Xi surgical systems for grasping and blunt dissection of tissue, as well as bipolar coagulation and mechanical transection of blood vessels (veins and arteries) up to 7mm in diameter, lymphatic vessels, and tissue bundles that fit within the instrument's jaws. In June 2025, we obtained FDA clearance for the same instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In July 2025, we obtained European certification in accordance with the EU MDR for our da Vinci 5 surgical system for adult and pediatric use in minimally invasive endoscopic procedures across abdominopelvic and thoracoscopic surgical procedures, including urologic, gynecologic, and general laparoscopic procedures, excluding the use of force feedback. We intend to seek European certification for the use of force feedback in the future. In June 2025, we obtained regulatory clearance in Japan for the da Vinci 5 surgical system for use in all surgical specialties and procedures indicated for da Vinci Xi, except for cardiac indications. In October 2024, we obtained regulatory clearance in South Korea for the da Vinci 5 surgical system for use in urologic, general, gynecologic, thoracoscopic, thoracoscopically-assisted cardiotomy, and transoral otolaryngology surgical procedures. In March 2024, we obtained FDA clearance for our da Vinci 5 surgical system for use in all surgical specialties and procedures indicated for da Vinci Xi, except for cardiac and pediatric indications as well as one contraindication related to the use of force feedback in hysterectomy and myomectomy surgical procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In December 2024, we obtained European certification in accordance with the EU MDR for our E-200 generator. The E-200 generator can be used in da Vinci robotic procedures, as well as non-robotic open and laparoscopic procedures,

------

to deliver high-frequency energy for cutting, coagulation, and vessel sealing of tissues. The E-200 generator includes the same advanced energy capability as the E-100 generator and supports the same vessel sealing instruments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In September 2024, we obtained FDA clearance for our redesigned 8 mm SureForm 30 stapler and 8 mm SureForm 30 Curved-Tip stapler instruments and reloads for use with our da Vinci 5, da Vinci X, and da Vinci Xi surgical systems in general, thoracic, gynecologic, urologic, and pediatric surgical procedures. In April 2024, we obtained European certification in accordance with the EU MDR for our redesigned 8 mm SureForm 30 stapler and 8 mm SureForm 30 Curved-Tip stapler instruments and reloads for use in general, thoracic, gynecologic, urologic, and pediatric surgical procedures.

<u>Single-port</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In December 2025, we obtained FDA clearance for the use of our da Vinci SP surgical system in cholecystectomy, inguinal hernia repair, appendectomy, and nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM) procedures. In May 2025, we obtained FDA clearance for the use of our da Vinci SP surgical system in transanal local excision/resection, a form of minimally invasive surgery performed through a natural orifice to avoid abdominal surgical incisions, for select procedures. In December 2024, we obtained FDA clearance for the use of our da Vinci SP surgical system in colorectal surgical procedures. In July 2024, we obtained FDA clearance for the use of our da Vinci SP surgical system in general thoracoscopic surgical procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In June 2025, we obtained regulatory clearances in South Korea and Japan for our SP SureForm 45 stapler and our SP SureForm 45 curved-tip stapler for use with our da Vinci SP surgical system. In March 2025, we obtained FDA clearance for our SP SureForm 45 stapler and our SP SureForm 45 curved-tip stapler for use with our da Vinci SP surgical system, which may be particularly useful in thoracic and colorectal surgical procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** In August 2024, we obtained regulatory clearance in Taiwan for our da Vinci SP surgical system for use in endoscopic abdominopelvic, thoracoscopic, transoral otolaryngology, transanal colorectal, transanal total mesorectal excision, and breast surgical procedures. In January 2024, we obtained European certification in accordance with the EU MDR for our da Vinci SP surgical system for use in endoscopic abdominopelvic, thoracoscopic, transoral otolaryngology, transanal colorectal, and breast surgical procedures.

<u>Ion Endoluminal System</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In October 2025, we obtained FDA clearance for software advancements for the Ion endoluminal system. This software release introduces artificial intelligence across Ion's entire navigational workflow, while also integrating new advanced imaging capabilities to support accurate and efficient lung biopsies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In February 2025, we obtained European certification in accordance with the EU MDR to extend the number of uses of our catheter instrument used with our Ion endoluminal system from five to eight uses. In April 2024, we obtained FDA clearance to extend the number of uses of our catheter instrument from five to eight uses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** In March 2024, we received NMPA regulatory clearance for our Ion endoluminal system in China. We placed our first Ion systems in China during the third quarter of 2024 and will continue our rollout of the Ion system in China in a measured fashion.

In June 2023, the China National Health Commission published the 14th five-year plan quota for major medical equipment to be sold in China on its official website (the "2023 Quota"). Under the original 2023 Quota, the government will allow for the sale of 559 new surgical robots into China, which could include da Vinci surgical systems as well as surgical systems introduced by others. As of March 31, 2026, including systems that were sold in prior quarters, we have placed 166 da Vinci surgical systems under the original 2023 Quota and 5 da Vinci surgical systems under special approval. Future sales of da Vinci surgical systems under this and any previously published open quotas are uncertain, as they are open to other medical device companies that have introduced robotic-assisted surgical systems and are dependent on hospitals completing a tender process and receiving associated approvals. Our ability to track the number of systems that could be sold under these quotas in the future is limited by provincial and national agencies making such information publicly available.

Since 2022, several provinces in China have implemented significant limits on what hospitals can charge patients for surgeries using robotic surgical technology, including soft tissue surgery. These limits have impacted the number of procedures performed in those provinces as well as pricing of our instruments and accessories, which have impacted our instruments and accessories revenue. However, as of the date of this report, these limits have not had a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, as only a small portion of our installed base in China is currently located in the impacted provinces. Companies providing robotic surgical technology, including our Joint Venture, have been meeting with Chinese government healthcare agencies to discuss these developments and to provide feedback. We cannot assure you that additional provincial or national healthcare agencies and administrations will not impose similar limits, and we expect to

------

continue to face increased pricing pressure, both of which could further impact the number of procedures performed and our instruments and accessories revenue in China.

The Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare ("MHLW") considers reimbursement for procedures in April of even-numbered years. The process for obtaining reimbursement requires Japanese university hospitals and surgical societies, with our support, to seek reimbursement. There are multiple pathways to obtain reimbursement for procedures, including those that require in-country clinical and economic data. In April 2026, an additional seven da Vinci procedures were granted reimbursement, including inguinal hernia repair, effective in June 2026. Furthermore, certain rectal robotic-assisted procedures have been granted higher reimbursement, as compared to rectal laparoscopic procedure reimbursements. In addition, the MHLW recently introduced incremental reimbursement for hospitals that exceed robotic-assisted procedure volumes of 200 qualifying cases per year. The additional reimbursed procedures have varying levels of conventional laparoscopic penetration and will generally be reimbursed at rates equal to the conventional laparoscopic procedures. Given the reimbursement level and laparoscopic penetration for these additional procedures, there can be no assurance that the adoption pace for these procedures will be similar to prostatectomy or partial nephrectomy, given their higher reimbursement, or any other da Vinci procedure.

***Field Actions, Recalls, and Corrections***

Medical device companies have regulatory obligations to correct or remove medical devices in the field that could pose a risk to health. The definition of "recalls and corrections" is expansive and includes repair, replacement, inspections, relabeling, and issuance of new or additional instructions for use or reinforcement of existing instructions for use and training when such actions are taken for specific reasons of safety or compliance. These field actions require stringent documentation, reporting, and monitoring worldwide. There are other actions that a medical device manufacturer may take in the field without reporting including, but not limited to, routine servicing and stock rotations.

As we determine whether a field action is reportable in any regulatory jurisdiction, we prepare and submit notifications to the appropriate regulatory agency for the particular jurisdiction. Regulators can require the expansion, reclassification, or change in scope and language of the field action. In general, upon submitting required notifications to regulators regarding a field action that is a recall or correction, we will notify customers regarding the field action, provide any additional documentation required in their national language, and arrange, as required, the return or replacement of the affected product or a field service visit to perform the correction.

Field actions, as well as certain outcomes from regulatory activities, can result in adverse effects on our business, including damage to our reputation, delays by customers of purchase decisions, reduction or stoppage of the use of installed systems, and reduced revenue as well as increased expenses.

**Results of Operations**

**Procedures**

We measure the value of procedures performed using our systems based on the benefits they deliver to patients, physicians and care teams, hospital customers, and healthcare systems. We believe that adoption of robotic-assisted procedures occurs by procedure and by country and is driven, over the long term, by the value that our products and services deliver to these stakeholders compared to the next-best alternative treatment options. The combination of our leading-edge technology and clinical expertise with a comprehensive ecosystem of services and support allows us to deliver differentiated outcomes.

We use the number and type of procedures as metrics for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Management believes that the number and type of procedures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance, as management believes procedure volume is an indicator of the rate of adoption of our robotic-assisted medical procedures as well as an indicator of future revenue (including revenue from usage-based operating lease arrangements). Management believes that both it and investors benefit from referring to the number and type of procedures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. The number and type of procedures also facilitate management's internal comparisons of our historical performance. We believe that the number and type of procedures are useful to investors as metrics, because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, and (2) they are used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help them analyze the performance of our business.

The vast majority of our installed systems are connected via the internet. System logs can also be accessed by field engineers for systems that are not connected to the internet. We utilize certain methods that rely on information collected from the installed systems for determining the number and type of procedures performed that involve estimates and judgments, which are, by their nature, subject to substantial uncertainties and assumptions. Estimates and judgments for determining the number and type of procedures may be impacted over time by various factors, including changes in treatment modalities, hospital and distributor reporting behavior, and system internet connectivity. Such estimates and judgments are also susceptible to algorithmic or other technical errors. In addition, the relationship between the number and type of procedures and our revenues may fluctuate from period to period, and procedure volume growth may not correspond to an increase in revenue. The number and type of procedures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, revenue or other financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

***Da Vinci Procedures***

The adoption of robotic-assisted surgery using the da Vinci surgical system has the potential to grow for those procedures that offer greater patient value than non-da Vinci alternatives and competitive total economics for healthcare providers. Our da Vinci surgical systems are used primarily in general, gynecologic, urologic, cardiothoracic, and head and neck surgical procedures. We focus our organization and investments on developing, marketing, and training products and services for procedures in which da Vinci can bring patient value relative to alternative treatment options and/or economic benefit to healthcare providers. Target procedures in general surgery include hernia repair (both ventral and inguinal), colorectal, cholecystectomy, and bariatric procedures. Target procedures in urology include prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy. Target procedures in gynecology include hysterectomy for both cancer and benign conditions and sacrocolpopexy. In cardiothoracic surgery, target procedures include lung resection. In head and neck surgery, target procedures include transoral surgery. Not all indications, procedures, or products described may be available in a given country or region or on all generations of da Vinci surgical systems. Surgeons and their patients need to consult the product labeling in their specific country and for each product in order to determine the cleared uses, as well as important limitations, restrictions, or contraindications.

The following table summarizes the approximate number of procedures performed on da Vinci surgical systems in the US and OUS for the periods presented (amounts shown in thousands):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **% Change** | **% Change** |
| | **2026** | **2025** | **2026** | **2025** |
| U.S. | 528 | 465 | 14% | 13% |
| OUS | 319 | 267 | 19% | 24% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Total Procedures | 847 | 732 | 16% | 17% |

---

*Overall.* Total da Vinci procedures performed by our customers grew approximately 16% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to approximately 17% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The first quarter 2026 procedure growth was largely attributable to growth in U.S. general surgery procedures and OUS procedures.

*U.S. Procedures.* U.S. da Vinci procedures grew approximately 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to approximately 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The first quarter 2026 U.S. procedure growth was

------

largely attributable to strong growth in general surgery procedures, most notably cholecystectomy, hernia repair, and appendectomy procedures, as well as growth in gynecological procedures. The number of U.S. da Vinci bariatric procedures performed declined approximately 10% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025.

*OUS Procedures.* OUS da Vinci procedures grew approximately 19% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to approximately 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The first quarter 2026 OUS procedure growth was driven by growth in general surgery procedures, most notably colorectal, hernia repair, and cholecystectomy procedures; urologic procedures, most notably prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy procedures; and gynecologic procedures, most notably hysterectomy procedures. The first quarter 2026 OUS procedure growth rate reflects continued da Vinci adoption in European and Asian markets. We saw strong procedure growth in India, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Italy, and Germany during the first quarter of 2026. In China and Japan, the procedure growth rates were lower in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, which reflects lower da Vinci surgical systems placed in these countries in recent quarters. We believe that growth in these global geographic markets is being driven by increased acceptance among surgeons and health systems, supported by expanded global evidence validating the clinical and economic value of da Vinci procedures as well as increased surgeon training.

***Ion Procedures***

The adoption of robotic-assisted bronchoscopy using the Ion endoluminal system has the potential to grow if it can offer greater patient value than non-Ion alternatives and competitive total economics for healthcare providers.

In the three months ended March 31, 2026, approximately 42,700 biopsy procedures were performed by our customers with Ion systems, compared to approximately 30,700 in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The growth in our overall procedure volume reflects a larger installed base of approximately 1,041 systems, an increase of 22% compared to the installed base of approximately 853 systems as of March 31, 2025. Currently, the vast majority of Ion biopsy procedures are performed in the U.S.

**System Demand**

System placements are driven by procedure growth in most geographic markets. In some markets, system placements are constrained by regulation. In geographies where da Vinci procedure adoption is in an early stage or system placements are constrained by regulation, system sales will precede procedure growth.

The following table summarizes our da Vinci and Ion placements during the periods presented (amounts shown in ones):

---

During the first quarter of 2026, 431 da Vinci surgical systems were placed compared to 367 systems in the first quarter of 2025. By geography, 226 systems were placed in the U.S., 117 in Europe, 62 in Asia, and 26 in other geographic markets during the first quarter of 2026, compared to 204 systems placed in the U.S., 88 in Europe, 52 in Asia, and 23 in other geographic markets during the first quarter of 2025. The increase in system placements reflects continued demand for additional capacity by our customers as a result of procedure growth as well as increased demand for our da Vinci 5 system, including the impact from customers trading in fourth-generation da Vinci systems. During the first quarter of 2026, we placed 232 da Vinci 5 systems, compared to 147 systems in the first quarter of 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, we had a da Vinci surgical system installed base of approximately 11,395 systems compared to approximately 10,189 systems as of March 31, 2025. By geography, 6,477 systems were in the U.S., 2,257 in Europe, 2,049 in

------

Asia, and 612 in the rest of the world. The incremental system installed base reflects continued procedure growth and further customer validation that robotic-assisted surgery addresses their Quintuple Aim objectives.

During the first quarter of 2026, 52 Ion systems were placed compared to 49 systems in the first quarter of 2025. By geography, 39 systems were placed in the U.S., 9 in Europe, 2 in Asia, and 2 in other geographic markets during the first quarter of 2026, compared to 45 systems placed in the U.S., 3 in Europe, and 1 in other geographic markets during the first quarter of 2025. In the U.S., where we estimate that penetration of lung biopsy has exceeded the halfway point, our customers' focus has begun to shift from increasing capacity to increasing utilization of their existing systems. As of March 31, 2026, we had an Ion system installed base of approximately 1,041 systems, compared to approximately 853 systems as of March 31, 2025.

We continue to see some customers challenged by lower public funding of healthcare in certain geographic markets and other financial pressures. As a result, we expect our customers to continue to be cautious about their overall capital spending. In addition, system demand in China has been adversely affected by increasing competition from domestic robotic-assisted surgical system manufacturers as well as a broader central government focus on systematic governance. Targeting the healthcare sector, this campaign was initially launched by the Chinese government in July 2023 and has resulted in heightened scrutiny by medical institutions with respect to initiating tenders, with some tenders being canceled or delayed without a timeline. In the first quarter of 2026, the competitive dynamics in China, various measures related to industrial policy, and the effects of this campaign contributed to fewer systems being placed in China than we anticipated. Currently, the extent and impact of the competitive dynamics in China, any additional measures related to industrial policy, and this campaign on our business remain uncertain.

We expect that future placements of da Vinci surgical systems will be impacted by a number of factors: supply chain risks; economic and geopolitical factors; inflationary pressures; high interest rates; hospital staffing constraints; procedure growth rates; evolving system utilization and point-of-care dynamics; capital replacement trends, including a declining number of older generation systems available for trade-in transactions; additional reimbursements in various global geographic markets, such as in Japan; the timing around governmental tenders and authorizations, as well as governmental actions impacting the tender process, such as the governance campaign in China; hospitals' response to the evolving healthcare environment; the timing of when we receive regulatory clearance in our other OUS markets for our da Vinci 5, da Vinci X, da Vinci Xi, and da Vinci SP surgical systems and related instruments; and the customer response.

Demand may also be impacted by the competition we currently face, or expect to face, from companies offering products for open or MIS surgeries, companies providing other therapeutic approaches for target clinical conditions, and companies developing diagnostic solutions that could serve as alternatives to current or planned Intuitive offerings. Companies that have introduced products in the field of robotic-assisted medical procedures, or have made explicit statements about their efforts to enter the field, include, but are not limited to, the following: Beijing Surgerii Robotics Company Limited; CMR Surgical Ltd.; Distalmotion SA; Harbin Sizhe Rui Intelligent Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.; Johnson & Johnson; Karl Storz SE & Co. KG; Medicaroid Corporation; Medtronic plc; meerecompany Inc.; Noah Medical Corporation; Shandong Weigao Group Medical Polymer Company Ltd.; Shanghai Microport Medbot (Group) Co., Ltd.; Shenzhen Edge Medical Co., Ltd.; and SS Innovations International, Inc.

Many of the above factors will also impact future demand for our Ion endoluminal system, as we extend our commercial offering into diagnostics, along with additional factors associated with a new product introduction, including, but not limited to, our ability to optimize manufacturing and our supply chain, competition, clinical data to demonstrate value, and customer acceptance.

***Distribution Channels***

We sell our products and services through direct sales organizations in the U.S., Europe (excluding Greece and Eastern European countries), China (through our majority-owned joint ventures, Intuitive Surgical-Fosun Medical Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and Intuitive Surgical-Fosun (HongKong) Co., Ltd. (collectively, the "Joint Venture"), with Fosun Pharma), Japan, South Korea, India, Taiwan, and Canada. In the U.S. (for some government customers), China, and Japan, we also utilize certain distributors in addition to our direct sales organizations. In the remainder of our OUS geographic markets, we provide our products for sale through distributors.

***Seasonality***

More than half of the da Vinci procedures performed are for benign conditions, most notably cholecystectomies, hernia repairs, and hysterectomies. These benign procedures and other short-term elective procedures tend to be more seasonal than cancer operations and surgeries for other life-threatening conditions. Seasonality in the U.S. for procedures for benign conditions typically results in higher fourth quarter procedure volume when more patients have met annual deductibles and lower first quarter procedure volume when deductibles are reset. Seasonality outside of the U.S. varies and is more pronounced around local holidays and vacation periods, which have lower procedure volume.

------

System placements also vary due to seasonality, largely aligned with hospital budgeting cycles. On an annual basis, we typically place a higher proportion of systems in the fourth quarter and a lower proportion in the first quarter as many customer budgets are reset.

***Intuitive System Leasing***

Since 2013, we have entered into sales-type and fixed-payment operating lease arrangements directly with certain qualified customers as a way to offer customers flexibility in how they acquire systems and expand their robotic-assisted programs while leveraging our balance sheet. These leases generally have commercially competitive terms as compared to other third-party entities that offer equipment leasing. We also enter into usage-based operating lease arrangements with qualified customers that have committed da Vinci programs where we charge for the system and service as procedures are performed, offering greater predictability in costs for customers. We believe that all of these alternative financing structures have been effective and well-received, and we are willing to expand the proportion of any of these structures based on customer needs and demand.

We include systems placed under fixed-payment and usage-based operating lease arrangements, as well as sales-type lease arrangements, in our system placement and installed base disclosures. We exclude operating lease-related revenue, including usage-based revenue, and Ion system revenue from our da Vinci surgical system average selling price ("ASP") computations.

The following table summarizes our da Vinci and Ion system placements under leasing arrangements for the periods presented (amounts in ones):

Variable lease revenue recognized from usage-based operating lease arrangements has been included in our operating lease metrics herein. Operating lease revenue has grown at a faster rate than overall systems revenue and was $250 million and $195 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively, of which $157 million and $112 million, respectively, was variable lease revenue related to our usage-based operating lease arrangements.

Revenue for systems sold or placed under a sales-type lease arrangement is recognized upfront whereas revenue for fixed-payment operating lease arrangements is recognized on a straight-line basis over time. Therefore, in a period when the number of operating lease placements increases as a proportion of total system placements, total systems revenue is reduced, which can create volatility in the systems revenue recognized in any given period. We generally set fixed-payment and usage-based operating lease arrangements' pricing at a modest premium relative to purchased systems reflecting the time value of money and, in the case of usage-based operating lease arrangements, the risk that system utilization may fall short of anticipated levels.

Revenue for usage-based operating lease arrangements is recognized as the system is used to perform procedures. Variable usage-based arrangements create better matching of reimbursements and cost for our customers. They also reduce our customers' overall risk and need for capital outlay. However, because the number of procedures performed in any given period can vary significantly for many reasons, including but not limited to healthcare emergencies, alternative treatment options, and patient preferences, revenue recognized from these arrangements can be highly volatile.

------

Customers generally do not have the right to exit or terminate a fixed-payment lease without incurring a penalty. Generally, lease transactions generate similar gross profit margins as our sale transactions. However, because of the variability in revenue recognized for usage-based lease arrangements, including our customers' ability to exit or cancel those arrangements prior to the end of the lease term, there is no guarantee that we will recuperate the cost of the leased system, which, in turn, could adversely impact our gross profit margins if utilization of those systems are different than our expectations.

The following table summarizes our da Vinci and Ion systems installed base under operating leasing arrangements as of the periods presented (amounts in ones):

Our exposure to the credit risks relating to our lease financing arrangements may increase if our customers are adversely affected by economic pressures or uncertainty, changes in healthcare laws, coverage and reimbursement, or other customer-specific factors. As a result of these macroeconomic factors impacting our customers, we may be exposed to defaults under our lease financing arrangements. Moreover, usage-based operating lease arrangements generally contain no minimum payments; therefore, customers may exit such arrangements without paying a financial penalty to us.

For some operating lease arrangements, our customers are provided with the right to purchase the leased system at certain points during and/or at the end of the lease term. Revenue generated from customer purchases of systems under operating lease arrangements ("Lease Buyouts") was $51 million and $39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. We expect that revenue recognized from customer exercises of buyout options will fluctuate based on the timing of when, and if, customers choose to exercise such buyout options.

Systems revenue is also affected by the proportion of system placements under operating lease arrangements, which can fluctuate period to period depending on customer preference, recurring fixed-payment and usage-based operating lease revenue, Lease Buyouts, product mix, ASPs, trade-in activities, customer mix, and specified-price trade-in rights. We generally do not provide specified-price trade-in rights or upgrade rights at the time of a system purchase; however, in conjunction with the rollout of our next-generation da Vinci 5 surgical system, there may be limited instances in which certain arrangements include specified-price trade-in rights. For trade-in activities involving operating lease upgrades, depending on the timing and terms of the upgrade transaction, the amount of revenue generated on the initial and new lease arrangements may not, in the aggregate, generate the same amount of revenue that a traditional sale and trade-in transaction would.

***Procedure/Product Mix***

Our da Vinci surgical systems are generally used for soft tissue surgery for areas of the body between the pelvis and the neck, primarily in general, gynecologic, urologic, cardiothoracic, and head and neck surgical procedures. Within these categories, procedures range in complexity from cancer and other highly complex procedures to less complex procedures for benign conditions. Cancer and other highly complex procedures tend to be reimbursed at higher rates than less complex procedures for benign conditions. Thus, hospitals are more sensitive to the costs associated with treating less complex, benign conditions. Our strategy is to provide hospitals with attractive clinical and economical solutions across the spectrum of procedure complexity. Our fully featured da Vinci 5 and da Vinci Xi surgical systems with advanced instruments (including da Vinci energy and da Vinci stapler products) and our Integrated Table Motion product target the more complex procedure segment. Our da Vinci X surgical system is targeted toward price-sensitive geographic markets and procedures. Our da Vinci SP surgical system complements the da Vinci 5, da Vinci X, and da Vinci Xi surgical systems by enabling surgeons to access narrow workspaces.

**Revenue**

We recognize up-front revenue from the placement of da Vinci surgical systems through sales or sales-type lease arrangements. Recurring revenue is recognized over time from the placement of da Vinci surgical systems under fixed-payment or usage-based operating lease arrangements, as well as from service arrangements. Recurring revenue is also recognized up-front from the sale of instruments and accessories.

The da Vinci surgical system generally sells for between $0.6 million and $3.1 million (generally inclusive of one year of service), depending on the model, configuration, and geography, and represents a significant capital equipment investment for our customers when purchased. Our instruments and accessories have limited lives and will either expire or wear out as they are used in surgery, at which point they need to be replaced. We generally earn between $900 and $3,700 of instruments and accessories revenue per surgical procedure performed, depending on the type and complexity of the specific procedures performed and the number and type of instruments used. We typically enter into service contracts at the time systems are sold or leased at an annual fee between $95,000 and $225,000, depending on the configuration of the underlying system and the composition of the services offered under the contract. Our system sale arrangements generally include a five-year period of service, with the first year of service generally included in the selling price of the system. These service contracts have generally been renewed at the end of the initial contractual service periods.

We generate revenue from our Ion endoluminal system in a business model consistent with the da Vinci surgical system model described above. We generate up-front revenue from the placement of Ion systems through sales or sales-type lease arrangements and recurring revenue over time through fixed-payment or usage-based operating lease arrangements. We also earn recurring revenue from the sale of instruments, accessories, and services. The Ion endoluminal system generally sells for between $500,000 and $815,000 (generally inclusive of one year of service). Our instruments and accessories have limited lives and will either expire or wear out as they are used in procedures, at which point they need to be replaced. We typically enter into service contracts at the time systems are sold or leased at an annual fee between $55,000 and $70,000.

Additionally, as part of our ecosystem of products and services, we provide a portfolio of learning offerings and digital solutions. We do not currently generate material revenue from these offerings.

We generally sell our products and services in local currencies where we have direct distribution channels. Revenue denominated in foreign currencies as a percentage of total revenue was approximately 29% and 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates had a favorable impact on OUS total revenue of $36 million and $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations was calculated by comparing the USD value of foreign-currency-denominated transactions translated at exchange rates in effect during the period in which each order was recorded to the USD value of those same transactions translated at exchange rates in effect during the comparable prior-year period, net of the impacts from foreign currency hedges.

We believe that U.S. revenue has historically accounted for the large majority of total revenue due to U.S. patients' ability to choose their provider and method of treatment, reimbursement structures supportive of innovation and MIS, and our initial investments focused on U.S. infrastructure. We have been investing in our business in OUS geographic markets, and our OUS

------

procedures have grown faster in proportion to U.S. procedures. We expect that our OUS procedures and revenue will make up a greater portion of our business in the long term.

***Product Revenue***

Instruments and accessories revenue increased by 23% to $1.69 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.37 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in instruments and accessories revenue was primarily driven by approximately 16% higher da Vinci procedure volume, customer buying patterns, and approximately 39% higher Ion procedure volume. The first quarter 2026 U.S. da Vinci procedure growth was approximately 14%, driven primarily by strong growth in general surgery procedures, most notably cholecystectomy, hernia repair, and appendectomy procedures, as well as growth in gynecological procedures. The number of U.S. da Vinci bariatric procedures performed declined approximately 10% in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter 2026 OUS da Vinci procedure growth was approximately 19%, driven by growth in general surgery procedures, most notably colorectal, hernia repair, and cholecystectomy procedures; urologic procedures, most notably prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy procedures; and gynecologic procedures, most notably hysterectomy procedures. Geographically, the first quarter 2026 OUS da Vinci procedure growth was driven by several geographic markets with particular strength in India, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Italy, and Germany.

Systems revenue increased by 24% to $651 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $523 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The higher first quarter 2026 system revenue was primarily driven by an increase in da Vinci system placements, partially offset by an increase in the proportion of da Vinci system placements under operating leases; higher operating lease revenue; and higher ASPs in the first quarter of 2026, driven by an increase in da Vinci 5 sales.

Operating lease revenue, including the contribution from Ion systems, was $250 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, of which $157 million was variable lease revenue related to usage-based arrangements, compared to $195 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, of which $112 million was variable lease revenue related to usage-based arrangements. Revenue from Lease Buyouts was $51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We expect revenue from Lease Buyouts to fluctuate period to period depending on the timing of when, and if, customers choose to exercise buyout options embedded in their leases.

The da Vinci surgical system ASP, excluding systems placed under fixed-payment or usage-based operating lease arrangements, Ion systems, and the impact of specified-price trade-in rights, was approximately $1.74 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to approximately $1.62 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The higher first quarter 2026 ASP was largely driven by favorable product mix, including from da Vinci 5 sales, partially offset by an unfavorable geographical mix. ASP fluctuates from period to period based on geographic and product mix, product pricing, systems placed involving trade-ins, and changes in foreign exchange rates.

***Service Revenue***

Service revenue increased by 19% to $434 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $363 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in service revenue was primarily driven by a larger installed base of systems producing service revenue and favorable product mix, including from da Vinci 5 system placements.

***Recurring Revenue***

Recurring revenue represents the revenue recognized from instruments and accessories, service, and operating lease arrangements. Recurring revenue is an operating measure that we use to assess the strength of our installed base, system utilization, and procedure adoption.

Recurring revenue during the periods presented was as follows:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intangible asset amortization | $5.8 | $2.2 | $3.6 | 164% |

---

Product gross profit margin increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by product cost reductions, fixed overhead leverage, and lower logistics costs, partially offset by higher tariff expenses. Our capital expenditures increased in 2024 and 2025, as we continued to build the infrastructure needed to scale our business and, as a result, depreciation expense increased in the three months ended March 31, 2026. We expect depreciation expense to continue to increase in the remainder of 2026. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of a business in the first quarter of 2026, we expect amortization of intangible assets to continue to increase through the remainder of 2026.

In 2025, new and incremental tariffs were imposed on goods imported to the U.S. We import raw materials and finished goods from sources outside of the U.S., which were subject to tariffs, including but not limited to our endoscopes, which are primarily manufactured in Germany. In 2026, there were changes to the tariffs imposed on goods imported to the U.S. The ultimate impact of tariffs will depend on various factors, including the amount, scope, timing, and nature of the tariffs imposed.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intangible asset amortization | $0.8 | $0.2 | $0.6 | 300% |

---

Service gross profit margin decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by higher costs associated with our da Vinci 5 surgical system, incremental fixed costs, including depreciation expense, higher excess and obsolete inventory changes, and higher tariff expenses, partially offset by a favorable repair parts mix. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of a business, we expect amortization of intangible assets to continue to increase in the remainder of 2026.

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intangible asset amortization | $0.2 | $0.5 | $(0.3) | (60)% |

---

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher personnel-related expenses, driven by an increase in headcount and higher employee compensation, including share-based compensation expense and variable compensation expense, partially offset by lower legal expenses.

**Research and Development Expenses**

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses include costs associated with the research and design, development, testing, and significant enhancement of our products. Our main product development initiatives include multi-port, Ion, and SP platform investments as well as digital products and services and various research projects.

Research and development expenses during the periods presented were as follows (dollars in millions):

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Intangible asset-related charges | $0.3 | $5.6 | $(5.3) | (95)% |

---

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by higher direct project costs incurred to support an expanded portfolio of product development initiatives, as well as increased personnel-related expenses, including share-based compensation, driven by higher headcount. The increase was partially offset by lower intangible asset-related charges.

Research and development expenses fluctuate with project timing. Based upon our broader set of product development initiatives and the stage of the underlying projects, we expect to continue to make substantial investments in research and development and anticipate that research and development expenses will continue to increase in the future.

| *% of Total revenue* | *3%* | *3%* | *4%* | *4%* |  |  |

---

Interest and other income, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by lower interest income on reduced average cash and investment balances, largely driven by cash used for stock repurchases and the acquisition of a business during the three months ended March 31, 2026. This decrease was partially offset by lower unrealized foreign exchange losses, net of the impacts of derivatives and hedging.

**Income Tax Expense (Benefit)**

Income tax expense (benefit) during the periods presented was as follows (dollars in millions):

| *Effective income tax rate* | *12.2%* | *12.2%* | *(5.3)%* | *(5.3)%* |  |  |

The change in our income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily due to lower excess tax benefits, as discussed below, and lower federal research and development credit benefits, partially offset by lower taxes on foreign earnings.

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, included excess tax benefits associated with employee equity plans of $73.3 million and $145.4 million, respectively, which reduced our effective tax rate by 7.8 and 21.8 percentage points, respectively. The amount of excess tax benefits or deficiencies will fluctuate from period to period based on the price of our stock, the volume of share-based awards settled or vested, and the value assigned to employee equity awards under GAAP, which results in increased income tax expense volatility.

In 2021, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") established an inclusive framework on base erosion and profit shifting and agreed on a two-pillar solution to global taxation, focusing on global profit allocation and a 15% global minimum effective tax rate ("Pillar Two"). The OECD issued Pillar Two model rules and continues to release guidance on these rules. Many countries have adopted new tax laws to align with the global minimum tax. We considered the applicable tax law changes on Pillar Two implementation in the relevant countries, and we do not expect a material impact to our tax provision in 2026.

In January 2026, the OECD released administrative guidance recognizing the U.S. minimum tax regime and introducing a "side-by-side" package intended to exempt U.S.-parented groups from Pillar Two minimum taxes imposed by foreign jurisdictions on U.S. earnings. Although full adoption of the guidance is expected to eliminate this exposure with respect to the U.S. jurisdiction, laws to implement the framework have not been enacted in all relevant countries. Accordingly, our financial results reflect the laws enacted and in effect as of March 31, 2026, which did not have a material impact on our tax provision as of March 31, 2026.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "OBBBA") was enacted, introducing amendments to U.S. tax laws with various effective dates from 2025 to 2027. The changes introduced by OBBBA are not expected to have a material impact on our effective tax rate for 2026.

We file federal, state, and foreign income tax returns in many jurisdictions in the U.S. and OUS. Years before 2020 are considered closed for significant jurisdictions. Certain of our unrecognized tax benefits could change due to activities of various tax authorities, including evolving interpretations of existing tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate, potential assessment of additional tax, possible settlement of audits, or through normal expiration of various statutes of limitations, which could affect our effective tax rate in the period in which they change.

We are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. The outcome of these audits cannot be predicted with certainty. Management regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. If any issues addressed in our tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management's expectations, we could be required to adjust our provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Sources and Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents***

Our principal source of liquidity is cash provided by our operations. Cash and cash equivalents plus short- and long-term investments decreased by $1.05 billion to $7.98 billion as of March 31, 2026, from $9.03 billion as of December 31, 2025, primarily as a result of cash used for repurchases of common stock and the acquisition of a business, partially offset by cash generated from operations.

Our cash requirements depend on numerous factors, including customer acceptance of our products, the resources we devote to developing and supporting our products, and other factors. We expect to continue to devote substantial resources to expand procedure adoption and acceptance of our products. We have made substantial investments in our commercial operations, product development activities, facilities, and intellectual property. Based on our business model, we anticipate that we will continue to be able to fund future growth through cash provided by our operations. We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances, together with income to be derived from our business, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we may experience reduced cash flow from operations as a result of macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds.

See "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for discussion on the impact of interest rate risk and market risk on our investment portfolio.

***Condensed Consolidated Cash Flow Data***

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented (in millions):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |
| Net cash provided by (used in): |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating activities | $911.9 | $581.6 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Investing activities | (914.5) | 213.5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financing activities | (1353.7) | (235.8) |
| Effect of exchange rates on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | 1.0 | (4.5) |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash | $(1355.3) | $554.8 |

---

***Operating Activities***

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by operating activities of $0.91 billion exceeded our net income of $0.83 billion, primarily due to the following factors:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Our net income included non-cash charges of $731 million, consisting primarily of deferred income tax expense of $339 million, driven by accelerated deductions for previously capitalized research and development expenditures; share-based compensation of $210 million; and depreciation expense and losses on the disposal of property, plant, and equipment of $179 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in $645 million of cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Inventory, including the transfer of equipment from inventory to property, plant, and equipment, increased by $267 million, primarily to address the growth in our business, including the expansion of our leasing business, and to mitigate risks of disruption that could arise from global supply chain shortages. Refer to Note 4 to the Financial Statements for further details in the supplemental cash flow information. Prepaids and other assets increased by $269 million, primarily driven by an increase in prepaid taxes caused by the aforementioned accelerated deductions, which will reduce the Company's future income taxes paid. Accrued compensation and employee benefits decreased by $285 million, primarily due to payments for 2025 incentive compensation and employee stock purchases. The unfavorable impact of these items on cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $74 million, primarily due to the timing of inventory receipts, invoicing, and payments, and an increase in deferred revenue of $46 million, primarily due to the timing of billings of service arrangements.

***Investing Activities***

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, consisted primarily of cash used in the acquisition of a business of $528 million, as well as $329 million paid for the purchases of investments, net of maturities of investments. We also used $103 million for purchases of property, plant, and equipment. We invest predominantly in high quality, fixed income securities. Our investment portfolio may, at any time, contain investments in money market funds, U.S.

------

treasury and U.S. government agency securities, high-quality corporate notes and bonds, commercial paper, non-U.S. government agency securities, and taxable and tax-exempt municipal notes.

***Financing Activities***

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, consisted primarily of cash used for the repurchase of 2.3 million shares of our common stock for $1.12 billion and taxes paid on behalf of employees related to net share settlements of vested employee equity awards of $352 million, partially offset by cash proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchases of $122 million.

***Capital Expenditures***

We continue to build the infrastructure needed to scale and supply our customers with highly differentiated products manufactured in highly automated factories to facilitate outstanding performance in product quality, availability, and cost. A significant portion of our investment involves the construction of facilities to expand our manufacturing and commercial capabilities. We have also been vertically integrating key technologies to develop a more robust supply chain and bring important products to market at attractive price points. These investments include increased ownership of our imaging pipelines, and investments in strategic instruments and accessories technologies that allow us to serve our customers better. We intend to continue to fund our capital investments with cash generated from operations.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our critical accounting estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no new or material changes to the critical accounting estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.

**ITEM 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**
