---

*Payment for Clinical Laboratory Services*

Clinical laboratories submit bills for tests and other related services and are reimbursed by the applicable responsible party, which include third-party payers, clients, Medicare and Medicaid, and patients.

Third party payments come primarily from MCOs, with the majority of such payments made on a fee-for-service basis, and a smaller portion through capitation agreements under which payment is made pursuant to a negotiated per-member, per-month payment for an agreed upon menu of tests, or based upon the proportionate share earned by Dx from a capitation pool.

------

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

Clients include physicians, hospitals, health systems, ACOs, employers, and other entities who pay for testing services ordered by or on behalf of the applicable entity. Patients who are members of commercial insurance or participate in a governmental health program pay for amounts that are not covered by their applicable payer (e.g., coinsurance, deductibles, and non-covered services), and uninsured patients pay according to Dx's patient fee schedules; in addition, consumers pay directly for tests purchased through Labcorp OnDemand.

Medicare and Medicaid include fee-for-service revenue from traditional Medicare and Medicaid programs based on the fee schedule established by the related government authority. For participants in managed Medicare and managed Medicaid plans, laboratory bills are submitted to and paid by MCOs that manage those plans.

*U.S. Reimbursement and Market Dynamics Affecting the Clinical Laboratory Business*

Government and commercial payers in the U.S. continue to implement measures to control healthcare costs and utilization, resulting in ongoing reimbursement pressure and increased administrative complexity for the clinical laboratory industry. The Company believes that pressure to reduce government and commercial reimbursement for clinical laboratory services is likely to continue.

Fees for most laboratory services reimbursed by Medicare are established in the CLFS. Fees for other Medicare-reimbursed testing, primarily related to pathology, are established by the PFS. Dx has experienced governmental reimbursement reductions through a combination of reductions to fee schedules, incentives to physicians to participate in alternative payment models such as risk-sharing and new methods to establish and adjust fees. In addition, greater price transparency required under "surprise billing" laws and regulations may also lead to reductions in reimbursement for laboratory services.

The most significant of these developments was PAMA. PAMA resulted in a net reduction in reimbursement revenue of approximately $245.0 million between 2018-2020 from all payers affected by the CLFS. Since 2021, the implementation of additional PAMA reporting and reimbursement changes has been delayed each year by legislators, including in early 2026. Among other things, under the Consolidated Appropriations Act that became law on February 3, 2026, the PAMA data collection period for private payer rates will be January 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025, the period for reporting rates to CMS will be May 1, 2026 to July 31, 2026 to set CLFS prices for 2027 to 2029, and phased-in rate decreases based on PAMA reporting are frozen for 2026, but will resume in 2027 and be capped at 15% per year for 2027 to 2029.

Further healthcare reform could occur in 2026, including changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Medicare and Medicaid programs, and other administrative requirements that could affect coverage, reimbursement levels, and utilization of laboratory services in ways that remain difficult to predict.

In addition to governmental reimbursement pressures, market-based dynamics continue to affect the clinical laboratory industry. Reimbursement from commercial payers for diagnostic testing may increasingly shift away from traditional, fee-for-service models to alternatives, including value-based, bundled pay-for-performance, and other risk-sharing payment models. The growth of the managed care sector and consolidation of MCOs present various challenges and opportunities to Dx and other clinical laboratories. Dx's ability to attract and retain MCO customers has become even more important as the impact of various healthcare reform initiatives continues, including expanded health insurance exchanges and ACOs.

In addition to reductions in test reimbursement, the Company could also experience potential declines in test volumes due to increased controls over the utilization of laboratory services by Medicare, Medicaid, and third-party payers. MCOs are implementing, directly or through third parties, various ways to more closely monitor and reduce the volume and expense of laboratory testing. This includes utilization management efforts, such as requiring prior authorization from the MCO before certain tests can be performed. In addition, many MCOs have laboratory benefit management programs, which may include laboratory networks in which only designated laboratories may be used by members to receive full coverage benefits, and claims edits, which impact coverage and reimbursement. Some of these programs address clinical laboratory testing broadly, while others are focused on certain types of testing, including molecular, genetic, and toxicology testing. In addition, continued movement by patients into consumer-driven health plans may have an impact on the utilization of laboratory testing.

Helping to balance the overall negative market changes regarding reimbursement and test volume discussed above, the Company believes that the clinical laboratory testing market is positively influenced by several factors. Such factors include ongoing scientific and technological advancements, the increasing availability of diagnostic tests to a broader range of providers and patients, improvements in operational efficiency, and demographic trends such as the aging of the U.S. population, which tends to drive higher utilization of healthcare services. Periodic infectious disease outbreaks such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus also enhance stakeholders' awareness of and appreciation for the value of laboratory testing in combating future potential outbreaks and in improving patient care and outcomes.

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

Dx believes that its comprehensive and expanding test menu, focus on high-growth clinical areas, leading position in companion diagnostics, broad geographic footprint, and operating efficiency position it to compete effectively in this evolving environment.

*Market Opportunity for Dx*

Based on Company estimates, in 2025, the U.S. clinical laboratory testing industry generated revenues of more than $80 billion. The clinical laboratory business is intensely competitive, and the Company believes that both competition and consolidation in the clinical laboratory business will continue. CMS has estimated that, as of March 2024 (the most recent data available to the Company as of the filing of this report), there were nearly 320,000 clinical laboratories of all types, including approximately 9,200 hospital-based laboratories, just under 123,000 physician-office laboratories, and approximately 8,500 independent clinical and anatomic pathology laboratories in the U.S. Dx competes with each of these laboratory types. In addition, an increasing number of health system laboratories have expanded their operations and business, resulting in greater competition for testing from physicians within those systems and from unaffiliated physicians in the health system laboratories' service area.

Dx believes that the selection of a laboratory is primarily based on the following factors, all of which the Company believes Dx competes favorably in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• brand strength and reputation; | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• contractual relationships with MCOs; |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• leadership in science, technology, and innovation;  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• number and type of tests performed; |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• patient satisfaction levels;  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• connectivity solutions offered; and |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• quality, timeliness, and consistency in reporting test results; | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pricing of the laboratory's services. |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• national scale and local presence with access to testing within 10 miles of most households; |  |

---

In addition to the factors listed above, the Company believes that the operational and economic efficiencies provided by its integrated service and logistics network, large-scale automated testing, and ongoing introduction of new technologies will position the Company to compete effectively with other providers of laboratory services.

*Market Opportunity for BLS*

Based on Company estimates, in 2025, the global pharmaceutical industry spent more than $200 billion on R&D. Drug development services businesses like BLS typically derive most of their revenue from R&D expenditures, as well as marketing expenditures, of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

Outsourcing of R&D services to third-party providers remains integral to the drug development process. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies continue to face pressure to improve return on investment, increase R&D productivity, keep pace with rapid scientific advancement, comply with evolving regulatory requirements, and respond to efforts to control prescription drug pricing. The pharmaceutical market will continue to feel the pressure to improve return on investment, increase R&D productivity, stay abreast of scientific advancements and comply with stringent government regulations and attempts to reduce and control the price of prescription drugs, all supporting the outsourcing model. In the face of mounting complexity, the investment and amount of time required to develop new products are significant and have been increasing. These trends create opportunities for BLS and other companies providing drug development services that can help make the development process more efficient.

The drug development industry has many participants ranging from hundreds of small providers to a limited number of large companies with global capabilities. BLS competes against these small and large businesses, as well as in-house departments of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and diagnostic companies, and to a lesser extent, selected academic research centers, universities, and teaching hospitals.

The AWA establishes standards for the care of regulated species, including housing, ventilation, lighting, feeding and watering, handling, veterinary care, and recordkeeping. Licensing and registration requirements are set by the USDA, as well as by comparable regulatory authorities in the EU, the U.K., and China. If these agencies determines that BLS's equipment, facilities, laboratories, or processes do not comply with applicable standards, they may issue an inspection report documenting the deficiencies and requiring corrective actions. The regulators may impose fines, suspend and/or revoke licenses and registrations, or confiscate research animals. In addition, certain of BLS's animal related activities may be subject to regulation by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare of the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and similar organizations in other jurisdictions in which the Company operates. |
| **Security, Privacy, and Confidentiality of Health Information and Other Personal Information** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company and its third party service providers are subject to laws and regulations related to protecting the privacy and security of personal information, as well as national security concerns relating to cross-border access to personal information. <br>In the U.S., HIPAA governs the security and confidentiality of certain health information in a manner designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the healthcare system by facilitating the electronic exchange of information in certain financial and administrative transactions. HIPAA applies to health plans, healthcare providers, including laboratories that conduct standard transactions electronically, and healthcare clearinghouses as well as their "business associates" as defined in HIPAA. In addition to the existing requirements under HIPAA, HHS recently proposed revisions to the HIPAA security regulations, which, if adopted, would impose increased requirements on regulated entities such as the Company.<br>Violations of the HIPAA provisions could result in civil and/or criminal penalties, including significant fines and up to 10 years in prison. HHS also conducts periodic audits to confirm compliance and authorizes state attorneys general to bring civil actions seeking either injunctions or damages in response to violations of the HIPAA privacy and security regulations. <br>HIPAA establishes a "floor" and does not supersede laws that are more stringent. In addition to the laws and regulations described above, the Company may need to comply with numerous other state and federal consumer protection, data protection, international data transfers, privacy and similar laws that govern the confidentiality, security, use, and disclosure of personal information, as well as breach notification responsibilities. To the extent applicable, newer laws such as the CCPA, the Washington My Health My Data Act, and similar consumer privacy laws in other states, may impose additional obligations to the Company. These laws vary in scope and by jurisdiction, but they most commonly regulate or restrict the collection, use, and disclosure of medical and financial information and other personal information. <br>The Company may also be required to comply with national security and international data protection regulations, such as the EU GDPR, U.K. GDPR, and DOJ's Data Security Program, that address access, use, disclosure, protection, and transfer of personal data in regions where the Company does business or restrict access to specific types of personal data from countries of concern identified by or pursuant to U.S. regulations, including China. Potential fines and penalties for non-compliance with U.S. and international privacy, security, data protection, and similar laws could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. |
| **Environment, Health, Safety, and Sustainability** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is subject to licensing and requirements under laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and employee health and safety. These laws and regulations, designed to minimize risk to employee health and safety and to the environment, include the safe handling, use, transportation, and disposal of potentially infectious and hazardous materials; the assessment of potential work-related risks and establishment of work practice and engineering controls, and providing protective clothing and equipment, training, and medical surveillance.  |

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

**Item 1A. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RISK FACTORS**

Investors should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this Annual Report, including the following risk factors, before deciding to invest in any of the Company's securities. The risks below are not the only ones that the Company faces. Additional risks not presently known to the Company, or that it presently deems immaterial, may also negatively impact the Company. The Company's business, consolidated financial condition, revenues, results of operations, profitability, reputation, or cash flows could be materially impacted by any of these factors.

**Risks Related to the Company's Business and Operations**

***General or macro-economic factors and significant fluctuations in economic conditions in the U.S. and globally may have a material adverse effect on the Company.***

The Company's business depends on sustained demand for diagnostic testing and biopharma laboratory services by patients, physicians, hospitals, MCOs, CROs, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device companies, and others. Significant changes in global economic conditions, inflationary pressures, and credit market volatility could negatively affect testing volumes, the demand for biopharma laboratory services, cash collections, profitability, and access to financing. Pressure on and uncertainty surrounding the U.S. federal government budget and potential changes in budgeting priorities could adversely affect the funding for government programs that comprise a portion of the Company's revenue. In addition, uncertainty in the credit markets and interest rate volatility could reduce the availability and increase the cost of credit and impact the Company's ability to meet its financing needs in the future.

***Operations may be disrupted and adversely impacted by events beyond the Company's control, including natural disasters, adverse weather, geopolitical events, public health crises, supply chain disruptions, and inaccessibility of natural resources.***

Natural disasters (e.g., severe weather, fires, and earthquakes), geopolitical events (e.g., terrorism, war, and political instability), public health crises, criminal activity, supply chain disruptions, and other events beyond the Company's control could negatively affect the Company's operations. These disruptions may temporarily reduce testing volumes, delay study progress, hinder specimen transport, limit access to laboratories and IT systems, and interrupt supply deliveries. They may also affect customer operations, further decreasing demand. Prolonged disruptions caused by such events, especially in key operational locations, could harm the Company's results of operations.

***An inability to attract, retain, and develop experienced and qualified personnel, including personnel in key roles and critical positions, and increased personnel costs, could adversely affect the Company's business.***

The loss of personnel in key roles and critical positions or the inability to attract, retain, and develop experienced and qualified employees, at the Company's clinical laboratories, drug development, and diagnostic facilities, and increased costs related to such personnel and employees, could adversely affect the business. Success in maintaining the Company's leadership position in genomic and other advanced testing and diagnostic technologies will depend in part on the Company's ability to attract and retain skilled research professionals. In addition, the success of the Company's early discovery, clinical, and commercial laboratories also depends on employing and retaining qualified and experienced professionals, including specialists, who perform laboratory research activities and testing services. The same is true for patient-facing staff with specialized training required to perform activities related to specimen collection or clinical research activities. In the future, if competition for the services of these professionals increases, the Company may not be able to continue to attract and retain individuals in its markets. Changes to personnel in key roles and critical positions, and the ability to attract, develop, and retain qualified personnel, as a result of increased competition for talent, wage growth, or other market factors, could lead to strategic and operational challenges and uncertainties, distractions of management from other key initiatives, and inefficiencies and increased costs, any of which could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

***Continued changes in healthcare reimbursement models and products (e.g., health insurance exchanges), changes in government payment and reimbursement systems, or changes in payer mix, including an increase in third-party benefits management and value-based payment models, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenues, profitability, and cash flow.***

The Company's diagnostic testing services are primarily billed to third parties, including MCOs, employer plans, and other health insurance providers. A shift toward a higher mix of government and MCO payers may adversely effect revenues due to lower reimbursement rates. Ongoing efforts by payers to reduce reimbursement, tighten payment policies, and control utilization are expected to continue. If the Company cannot offset these reductions through cost efficiencies, increased volume or new services, its revenues, profitability, and cash flows may be materially impacted. PAMA has already reduced Medicare reimbursement rates for many tests, and further reductions are expected, although rate reductions are frozen for 2026 and capped at 15% per year for 2027-2029. Delays and changes in coding, billing, and payer policies have historically impacted

revenue and margins, and similar disruptions may continue. Increasing patient cost-sharing and evolving value-based care models also pose collection challenges and may affect the Company's ability to attract and retain MCOs.

***Changes in government regulation or in practices relating to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or medical device industries could decrease the need for certain services that BLS provides.***

BLS supports pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies in navigating the regulatory approval and post-approval compliance requirements process. Changes in government regulations, whether easing or tightening requirements and changes in government operations, including staff reductions and reorganization efforts, could reduce the demand for BLS's services or make them less competitive. Additionally, efforts to control drug and device costs, or changes in insurer reimbursement practices, may lead customers to reduce R&D spending, which could adversely affect BLS's business.

***Increased competition, including price competition, could have an adverse effect on the Company's revenues and profitability.***

As further described in Item 1 and Item 1A of Part I of this Annual Report, both Dx and BLS operate in highly competitive industries and selection of a commercial laboratory or a drug development partner is based on a number of competitive factors. The commercial laboratory business is intensely competitive in terms of price, service, specialty offerings, and the type and number of commercial laboratories. Dx and BLS compete against a wide range of businesses, as well as in-house departments of pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and diagnostic companies, and, to a lesser extent, selected academic research centers, universities, and teaching hospitals. In addition, BLS's services are subject to increased price competition that may have an adverse effect on the segment's profitability and consolidated revenues and net earnings. Dx's or BLS's inability to compete effectively with other businesses as it relates to certain competitive factors, including the factors mentioned above, could have an adverse effect on the Company's revenues and profitability.

***Failure to obtain and retain new customers, the loss of existing customers or material contracts, or a reduction in services or tests ordered or specimens submitted by existing customers, or the inability to retain existing and/or create new relationships with health systems could impact the Company's ability to successfully grow its business.***

The Company's growth depends on attracting new customers and business partners while retaining existing relationships. A decline in test orders or specimen volume from existing customers, or the loss of existing contracts without offsetting growth in its customer base, could impact the Company's ability to successfully grow its business and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenues and profitability. The Company competes primarily on the basis of reputation, efficient and timely performance, and leadership in science, technology, and innovation. The Company's failure to successfully compete in any of these areas could result in the loss of existing customers, an inability to gain new customers, and reduced or stagnant growth of the Company's business.

***Failure to develop or acquire licenses for new or improved testing technologies, or the Company's customers using new technologies to replace offerings currently provided by the Company could adversely affect its business.*** 

The commercial laboratory industry is subject to changing technology and the introduction of new and improved test offerings. The Company's success in maintaining a leadership position in genomic and other advanced testing technologies will depend, in part, on its ability to develop, acquire, or license new and improved technologies on favorable terms and to obtain appropriate coverage and reimbursement for these technologies. The Company may not be able to negotiate acceptable licensing arrangements, and it cannot be certain that such arrangements will yield commercially successful diagnostic tests. If the Company is unable to license these testing methods at competitive rates, its R&D costs may increase as a result. In addition, if the Company is unable to license new or improved technologies to expand its esoteric testing operations, its testing methods may become outdated and testing volume and revenue may be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, advances in technology may lead to the development of more technologies, such as point-of-care testing equipment, that can be operated by healthcare providers in their offices or by patients themselves without requiring the services of commercial laboratories. Development of such technology and its use by the Company's customers could reduce the demand for its laboratory testing services and the utilization of certain tests offered by the Company and negatively impact its revenues. Similarly, application of AI to testing could reduce demand for the Company's services, or competitors could adopt use of these technologies and derive benefits from them sooner than the Company, which could adversely affect the Company's business.

Manufacturers of laboratory equipment and test kits could seek to increase their sales by marketing point-of-care laboratory equipment to physicians and by selling test kits approved by regulatory agencies for home or physician office use to both physicians and patients. Increased approval and use of such test kits could lead to increased testing by physicians in their offices or by patients at home, which could affect the Company's market for laboratory testing services and negatively impact its revenues.

***Changes or disruption in services, supplies, or transportation provided by third parties have impacted, and could in the future materially impact, the Company's operations and business.***

Despite having proprietary transport capabilities, the Company remains dependent on third parties for critical supplies and services, including transportation, laboratory materials, and specialized animal populations. Disruptions in supply chains or access to transport—due to factors such as geopolitical instability, public health crises, natural disasters, or vendor noncompliance—have impacted, and could in the future materially impact, the Company's operations. Furthermore, from time to time, manufacturers discontinue or recall reagents, test kits, or instruments used by the Company to perform laboratory testing. Such discontinuations or recalls could adversely impact the Company's costs, testing volume and revenue.

***A failure to identify suitable acquisition targets and successfully close and integrate acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business objectives and its revenues and profitability.***

Part of the Company's strategy involves deploying capital in investments that enhance the Company's business, which includes pursuing strategic acquisitions to strengthen the Company's scientific capabilities and enhance therapeutic expertise, enhance esoteric testing and global drug development capabilities, and increase presence in key geographic areas. Since January 1, 2021, the Company has invested net cash of approximately $3.8 billion in strategic business acquisitions. However, the Company cannot assure that it will be able to identify acquisition targets that are attractive to the Company or that are of a large enough size to have a meaningful impact on the Company's results of operations. Furthermore, the successful closing and integration of a strategic acquisition entails numerous risks, including, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to obtain regulatory clearance, including due to antitrust concerns;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• loss of key customers or employees as a result of the acquisition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• difficulty in consolidating redundant facilities and infrastructure and in standardizing information and other systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unidentified regulatory problems at the acquired company or business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to maintain the quality of services that such companies or businesses have historically provided;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• unanticipated costs and other liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential liabilities related to litigation related to the acquired company or business, or from its prior owners;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• failure to timely identify and remediate noncompliant activities of the acquired company or business;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• potential periodic impairment of goodwill and intangible assets acquired;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• coordination of geographically separated facilities and workforces; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the potential disruption of the Company's ongoing business and diversion of management's resources.

The Company cannot assure that current or future acquisitions, if any, or any related integration efforts will be successful, or that the Company's business will not be adversely affected by any future acquisitions, including with respect to revenues and profitability. Even if the Company is able to successfully integrate the operations of companies and businesses that it acquires in the future, the Company may not be able to realize the benefits that it expects from such acquisitions.

***Unfavorable labor environments, union strikes, work stoppages, union or works council negotiations, or failure to comply with labor or employment laws could adversely affect the Company's operations and have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business.***

The Company is a party to a limited number of collective bargaining agreements with various labor unions and is subject to employment and labor laws and unionization activity in the U.S. Similar employment and labor obligations exist across other countries in which it conducts business, including appropriate engagement with works councils in Europe. Disputes with regard to the terms of labor agreements or obligations for consultation, potential inability to negotiate acceptable contracts with these unions, unionization activity, or a failure to comply with labor or employment laws could result in, among other things, labor unrest, strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns by the affected workers, fines and penalties. If any of these events were to occur, or other employees were to become unionized, the Company could experience a significant disruption of its operations or higher ongoing labor costs, either of which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business. Additionally, future labor agreements, renegotiations of labor agreements, or changes in labor or employment laws, could compromise its service reliability and significantly increase its costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. Also, the Company may incur substantial additional costs and become subject to litigation and enforcement actions if the Company fails to comply with legal requirements affecting its workforce and labor practices, including laws and regulations related to wage and hour practices, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs compliance, and unlawful workplace harassment and discrimination.

***Continued and increased consolidation of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device companies, health systems, physicians and other customers could adversely affect the Company's business.***

Consolidation of healthcare companies and providers, including pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies, health systems, and physician practices through horizontal and vertical mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships, is increasing competition and giving some combined companies greater control over more aspects of healthcare, including increased bargaining power. This competition and increased bargaining power may adversely affect the pricing and volume of the Company's services.

In addition, as health systems acquire physician practices, maintaining strong relationships with hospital-based systems and integrated delivery networks is increasingly important to the Company's business. Dx's inability to retain its existing relationships with those physicians as they become part of healthcare systems and networks and/or create new relationships could impact its ability to successfully grow and maintain its business, which could adversely affect the Company's business.

***Damage or disruption to the Company's facilities or operations therein could adversely affect the Company's business.***

Many of the Company's facilities, or the operations conducted therein could be difficult to replace in a short period of time. Any event that causes a disruption of the operation of these facilities might impact the Company's ability to provide services to customers and, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

***The failure to establish, update, or perform to appropriate quality standards could adversely affect the Company's business and reputation.***

The Company has quality control systems and processes to support the performance and delivery of its services. A failure to establish, update, or perform in accordance with those systems or processes could result in the loss of customers, loss or suspension of licensure or certifications, or imposition of sanctions or other penalties, among other things, which could adversely affect the Company's business and reputation.

**Risks Related to Financial Matters**

***The Company bears financial risk for contracts that, including for reasons beyond the Company's control, may be underpriced, subject to cost overruns, delayed, or terminated or reduced in scope.***

The Company enters into fixed-price and capped fee-for-service contracts, bearing financial risk if costs exceed estimates or pricing is insufficient. Such underpricing or significant cost overruns could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. Many BLS contracts may be terminated or reduced in scope, including for reasons such as safety issues, undesired product results, insufficient clinical trial or investigator enrollment, customer decisions to halt development, or failure to perform contractual obligations. Loss, reduction, or delay of large or multiple contracts could materially adversely affect BLS's business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

***A significant increase in the Company's days sales outstanding could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, including by increasing its bad debt or decreasing its cash flow.***

Billing for laboratory services is a complex process due to varying billing requirements across different payers, including physicians, patients, health plans, Medicare, and Medicaid. A material increase in Dx's days sales outstanding level, driven by billing complexity or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on the Company's business, including potentially increasing the Company's bad debt rate and reducing cash flows. While BLS faces less billing complexity, delays in billing or collections could similarly have an adverse effect on the Company's business, including potentially decreasing cash flows.

***BLS's revenues depend on R&D spending by companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries.***

BLS's revenues are closely tied to R&D spending by pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies, which may depend on access to capital and reimbursement from payers. Economic conditions, industry trends, or funding constraints could lead to reduced or delayed R&D activity or outsourcing, materially impacting BLS's business and financial performance.

***Foreign currency exchange fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the Company's business.***

The Company operates internationally and BLS derives a significant portion of its revenues from non-U.S. operations. Since the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements are denominated in USD, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may impact reported financial results, especially when costs and revenues are denominated in different currencies. These factors could significantly affect BLS's results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's business.

***The Company's uses of financial instruments to limit its exposure to interest rate and currency exchange fluctuations could expose it to risks and financial losses that may adversely affect the Company's financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.***

To limit the Company's exposure to interest rate and currency exchange fluctuations, the Company enters into financial swaps and hedging arrangements, with various counterparties. In addition to any risk related to the counterparties, there can be no assurance that this hedging strategy will be effective in insulating the Company from the risk associated with the underlying transactions or that the Company will not have to pay additional amounts upon settlement.

***The Company's level of indebtedness and debt service requirements could adversely affect the Company's liquidity, results of operations, and business.***

At December 31, 2025, the indebtedness on the Company's outstanding senior notes totaled $5.2 billion in aggregate principal, of which $500.0 million is payable within the next 12 months. The Company is also party to credit agreements relating to a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility subject to negative financial covenants limiting subsidiary indebtedness and certain other covenants typical for investment-grade-rated borrowers, and the Company is required to maintain a leverage ratio within certain limits.

The Company's level of indebtedness could adversely affect its business. In particular, such indebtedness could increase the Company's vulnerability to sustained, adverse macro-economic downturns, limit financing flexibility, and limit its ability to pursue certain operational and strategic opportunities, including large acquisitions. Higher interest rates and changes in debt ratings could increase borrowing costs and reduce access to capital. Additional debt or credit arrangements may further restrict operations and liquidity. The Company may incur additional long-term debt, which could further increase its obligations and business restrictions. Additionally, major debt rating agencies regularly assess the Company's debt, and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain its existing debt ratings and a failure to do so could raise funding costs and limit access to capital.

***The Company's quarterly results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter making it harder to predict future results.***

The Company's results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and are influenced by factors over which the Company has little control, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the global economy, including the imposition of tariffs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• currency exchange rate fluctuations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the commencement, completion, delay, or cancellation of large projects or contracts or groups of projects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the progress of ongoing projects;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• adverse weather, natural disasters, geopolitical events, public health crises, hostilities or acts of terrorism, acts of vandalism, disruption to supply chains, inaccessibility of natural resources, and other events beyond the Company's control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the timing of and costs associated with completed acquisitions or other events; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the utilization mix of the Company's services.

The Company believes that results of operations for any particular quarter are not necessarily a meaningful indication of future results. While fluctuations in the Company's quarterly results of operations could negatively or positively affect the market price of the Company's common stock, these fluctuations may not be related to the Company's future overall operating performance.

***The Company depends on a variety of U.S. and international financial institutions to provide us with banking services. The default or failure of one or more of the financial institutions that the Company relies on may adversely affect the Company's business and financial condition.***

The Company maintains the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in accounts with major U.S. and international financial institutions, and its deposits at certain of these institutions exceed insured limits. Market conditions can impact the viability of these institutions. In the event of failure of any of the financial institutions where the Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to access uninsured funds in a timely manner or at all. Additionally, bank payment processes could become unavailable which could temporarily impact the Company's ability to operate, pay employees, or meet obligations on a timely basis. Any of these could adversely affect the Company's business and financial condition.

***The Company might not be able to engage in certain desirable capital raising or strategic transactions as a result of the Spin-off and may not achieve its intended results.***

To preserve, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the tax-free qualification of the Spin-off and certain related transactions under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Company may be limited or restricted in pursing certain transactions. Even if the Spin-off and certain related transactions otherwise qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code, they may result in corporate-level gain to the Company if there is a 50% or greater change in ownership, by vote or value, of the shares of the Company's stock, Fortrea's stock, or the stock of a successor of either occurring as part of a plan or series of related transactions that includes the Spin-off, which is generally presumed to include any acquisitions or issues of stock within two years of the Spin-off. To avoid realizing such taxable gain, the Company may be restricted or limited in its capital raising or in the strategic transactions that it elects to pursue during such time period. Additionally, the Spin-off presents risks that could affect the Company's business, including exposure to unexpected claims, liabilities, or costs under the Company's agreements with Fortrea in connection with the Spin-off.

**Risks Related to Technology and Cybersecurity**

***Failure to maintain the security of customer-related information or compliance with security requirements could damage the Company's reputation with customers, cause it to incur substantial additional costs and become subject to litigation and enforcement actions.***

The Company collects, stores, transmits, and processes personal and financial information, and works with third-party service providers in connection with such data processing activities. A compromise of the Company's or a vendor's systems that results in confidential information being acquired, accessed, or changed by unauthorized persons, or failure to meet security standards, such as the HIPAA security regulations and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, could harm the Company's reputation, operations, financial condition, and liquidity, and may result in litigation, fines, or regulatory actions. For example, the AMCA Incident (as defined below under "Cybersecurity" in Item 1C) resulted in costs, pending and threatened litigation, and regulatory inquiries. For additional information about the AMCA Incident, see Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Part III of the Annual Report.

***Failure in the information technology systems of the Company or its vendors and other third-party service providers, or newly acquired businesses, or delays or failures in the development and implementation of new systems or updates or enhancements to existing systems, could adversely affect the Company's business.***

The Company's operations rely on the continued performance and security of its information technology systems. System failures, cybersecurity incidents, disruptions, or other issues affecting information technology systems could impair data processing, service delivery, billing, and customer communications. The Company also relies on third parties for critical services, including transportation, supplies, and data processing and expects them to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including environmental, health and safety, and privacy and data security laws. Failures by these providers, whether operational, legal, or cybersecurity-related, and issues affecting their information technology systems, could disrupt services, compromise personal or other confidential information, expose the Company to liability and could materially impact its business, even if the Company is not responsible for the underlying cause of any such failure or issue. In addition, the Company may be subject to regulatory, contractual, or other obligations arising from any such failure or issues. Despite contingency plans, risks remain, and a significant information technology system disruption could adversely affect the Company's reputation, operations, financial condition, and profitability.

***Cybersecurity incidents and unauthorized access to the Company's or its customers' data could harm the Company's reputation and adversely affect its business.***

The Company continues to face cybersecurity threats, including ransomware attempts, data breaches, and phishing and social engineering attempts targeting its systems and its employees, and those of third-party vendors. Increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of AI by threat actors, heighten these risks. The Company has implemented a formal cybersecurity program; however, threat actors' techniques continue to evolve and may not be identifiable until deployed, which could limit the Company's ability to prevent unauthorized access, data compromise, service disruption, or fraudulent activity. The Company may be unable to anticipate and/or implement appropriate controls needed to protect against these evolving threats or be required to expend additional resources to prepare for and respond to any cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Evolving threats may outpace defenses, requiring ongoing investment in security measures. Data and cybersecurity incidents, including those involving third parties, such as the AMCA Incident, could result in data loss, service disruption, reputational harm, litigation, regulatory penalties, and increased insurance costs. Remote work arrangements further elevate exposure to cyber risks.

***The use of AI and machine learning tools in the Company's operations and the services of third-parties may introduce risks that could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and reputation.***

The Company and certain of its third-party vendors use AI and machine learning tools to enhance productivity and innovation, but these technologies also introduce risks. Improper use may lead to data leaks of sensitive, proprietary, or confidential information, flawed outputs, biased decisions, or reputational harm. In addition, rapid advancements could render existing tools obsolete or give competitors an edge, emerging regulations may subject the Company to new restrictions or penalties, and AI systems may be vulnerable to new security threats. These risks could result in legal liabilities, customer loss, and reputational damage, each of which could have an adverse impact on the Company's business and operations.

**Risks Related to Regulatory and Compliance Matters**

***Changes in payer regulations or policies, insurance regulations or approvals, or changes in laws, regulations, or policies in the U.S. or globally, including changes in their interpretation, may adversely affect the Company.***

Government payers, including Medicare and Medicaid, and private insurers, such as MCOs, continue to implement measures to control healthcare costs, utilization, and delivery. These efforts include changes of reimbursement rates, coverage criteria, and administrative requirements.

Under PAMA, phased reductions to Medicare reimbursement began in January 1, 2018, and are now frozen for 2026 but will resume in 2027, with capped reductions in 2027-2029, with potential for further reductions thereafter. Additional changes such as prior authorization requirements, diagnosis code edits, and other claims processing rules may also impact payment for diagnostic services. Reimbursement for pathology services performed by Dx under the Medicare PFS is subject to ongoing statutory and regulatory adjustments. Similar actions by commercial payers have historically led to lower payments, increased administrative costs, and reduced test utilization. Future changes in payer policies, laboratory benefit management programs, or insurance regulations could materially and adversely affect Dx's business, financial condition, and results of operations, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's business.

***The Company could face significant monetary damages and penalties and/or exclusion from government programs if it violates anti-fraud and abuse laws.*** 

The Company is subject to comprehensive regulation at the federal, state, and local levels in the U.S., as well as in other countries where it operates. Noncompliance with laws governing billing practices, financial relationships, and other healthcare-related activities could result in civil or criminal penalties, exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid, and restrictions on the use of the Company's laboratories. Although the Company believes it is in material compliance with applicable requirements, government authorities may take a contrary position. This includes potential interpretations of laws such as the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act, which currently lacks clarifying regulations or exceptions. Any enforcement action, regardless of outcome, could harm the Company's reputation and disrupt key business relationships.

***The Company's business could be harmed from the loss or suspension of a license or imposition of a fine or penalties under, or future changes in, or interpretations of, the law or regulations of CLIA, Medicare, Medicaid or other national, state, or local agencies in the U.S. and other countries where the Company operates laboratories.*** 

The commercial laboratory testing industry is subject to broad regulation in the U.S. and internationally. In the U.S. CLIA requires certification for virtually all clinical laboratories. Noncompliance with CLIA may result in suspension, revocation, or limitation of a laboratory's certificate, and the ability to bill government and other payers, as well as significant fines or criminal penalties. The Company is also subject to state laws that may impose additional requirements on laboratory operations and personnel.

Outside the U.S., the Company's laboratories are subject to local laws and regulations, which vary by jurisdiction. Laws and regulations—many of which lack judicial interpretation—could be applied by regulatory or enforcement authorities in ways that adversely affect the Company's business. Potential sanctions include fines and loss of licenses or certifications. Additionally, future legislation may impose new compliance obligations that could be costly to implement.

***Failure of the Company or its third-party service providers to comply with national security, privacy and data security laws and regulations could result in fines, penalties and damage to the Company's reputation with customers and have a material adverse effect upon the Company's business.***

The Company and its third-party service providers are subject to numerous federal, state, and international laws governing national security, and the privacy and security of personal and health information. Noncompliance may result in fines, penalties, litigation, or criminal sanctions.

In the U.S., HIPAA imposes detailed requirements on the use, disclosure, and safeguarding of PHI. HIPAA violations can lead to significant civil and criminal penalties. HIPAA also provides individuals with certain privacy rights regarding their PHI

------

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

and requires the Company to notify individuals about its privacy practices. The Company has implemented policies to comply with HIPAA, but evolving regulations—including a proposed rule to clarify the HIPAA Security Rule—may increase compliance obligations. State laws, such as the CCPA and the Washington My Health My Data Act, impose additional requirements that may exceed requirements under HIPAA and other federal standards. The Company must also comply with restrictions on international data transfers imposed through standards such as the DOJ's Data Security Program, and emerging laws regulating AI, algorithms, and automated processing, which may increase compliance costs.

Internationally, the Company is subject to data protection laws, such as the EU GDPR and the U.K. GDPR, which impose strict requirements and significant penalties for noncompliance. Similar laws have been enacted in other regions where the Company operates, including Asia, Latin America, and other parts of Europe.

Compliance with these complex and evolving regulations may require changes to the Company's business practices and result in increased operational costs. Failure to comply could materially and adversely affect the Company's business and reputation, result in the imposition of fines, penalties, or orders to stop certain activities, and potentially expose the Company to actions for the wrongful use or disclosure of personal information.

***The Company's international operations could subject it to additional risks and expenses that could adversely impact the business or results of operations.***

The Company's international operations are subject to foreign laws and regulations that differ from those in the U.S. Noncompliance may result in penalties, restrictions, and reputational harm. Risks include changes in reimbursement by foreign governments, export controls, trade regulations, tax policies, labor laws, and currency repatriation restrictions. Some jurisdictions may lack clear legal frameworks or strong enforcement of contractual and intellectual property rights.

The Company may also face challenges related to regulatory approval, pricing, reimbursement, and marketing of its services abroad. Operating internationally can lead to unanticipated costs, including those related to compliance, staffing, collections, and managing local operations. In certain countries, success may depend on forming relationships with local partners, and failure to do so could adversely affect the Company's business and operations.

***International operations may increase the Company's exposure to liabilities under applicable anti-corruption laws.***

Anti-corruption laws in the countries where the Company conducts business, including the FCPA, U.K. Bribery Act, and similar laws in other jurisdictions, prohibit companies and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery including improperly offering, promising, paying, or authorizing the giving of anything of value to individuals or entities for the purpose of corruptly obtaining or retaining business. The Company operates in parts of the world where corruption may be common and where anti-corruption laws may conflict to some degree with local customs and practices. The Company maintains an anti-corruption program including policies, procedures, training, and safeguards in the engagement and management of third parties acting on the Company's behalf. Despite these safeguards, the Company cannot guarantee protection from corrupt acts committed by employees or third parties associated with the Company. Violations or allegations of violations of anti-corruption laws could have a significant adverse effect on the business or results of operations.

***Failure to comply with the regulations of pharmaceutical and medical device regulators, such as the FDA, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in the U.K., the EU, the European Medicines Agency, the National Medical Products Administration in China, and the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency in Japan, could result in fines, penalties, and sanctions against BLS and have a material adverse effect upon the Company.***

The Company's preclinical and central laboratory operations must comply with applicable standards, including GLP, GCP, and for certain services, cGMP. These operations also involve the import, export, and use of medical devices, reagents, and biological products, which are subject to extensive local and international regulations. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in regulatory enforcement, civil, criminal, or administrative sanctions, including fines, suspension of laboratory operations, or restrictions on import/export activities. Maintaining compliance may also require significant resources and ongoing investment. Any enforcement action or disruption in laboratory operations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.

***Increased regulations and restrictions on the import of research animals, limitations of supply of research animals, and actions of animal rights activists may have an adverse effect on the operations of BLS or the Company.***

BLS's preclinical services utilize animals in preclinical testing of the safety and efficacy of drugs and devices. Such activities are typically required for the development of new medicines and medical devices under regulatory regimes in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and other countries. Increased or changed regulations and restrictions on the import of research animals into various countries, as well as limitations of supply could impact BLS's ability to conduct preclinical research and could have an adverse effect on BLS's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, acts of vandalism and

------

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

other acts by animal rights activists who object to the use of animals in drug development could have an adverse effect on the Company.

***Animal populations may suffer diseases that can damage BLS's inventory, harm its reputation, or result in other liability.***

BLS's preclinical services rely on healthy research animal populations. The presence of infectious or other diseases can compromise research quality, result in inventory loss, and pose risks to human or external animal populations. Such incidents may lead to reputational damage, operational disruption, and increased costs, adversely affecting the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

***Failure to conduct animal research in compliance with animal welfare laws and regulations could result in sanctions and/or remedies against BLS and have a material adverse effect on the Company.***

BLS's preclinical research activities must comply with animal welfare laws in the jurisdictions where it operates, including the AWA and similar regulations in the U.K., the EU, and China. These laws govern standards for housing, care, and oversight of research animals. Failure to meet regulatory requirements may result in fines, suspension or revocation of licenses, confiscation of animals, and reputational harm, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial results.

***U.S. FDA regulation of LDTs and regulation by other countries of diagnostic offerings could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.***

The Company's diagnostic instruments, test kits, reagents, and point-of-care devices are subject to regulation by the FDA, which oversees their development, manufacturing, labeling, marketing, and performance. The FDA regularly inspects facilities and may take enforcement actions for noncompliance.

Historically, LDTs offered by high-complexity laboratories have been regulated under CLIA without FDA oversight. However, on April 29, 2024, the FDA issued a final rule asserting authority to regulate LDTs as medical devices, initiating a four-year phase-out of its prior enforcement discretion. Legal challenges to the rule led to its recission, but if the FDA reissues a revised rule or otherwise seeks to reassert authority over LDTs, such actions could increase regulatory burdens and enforcement risks for LDTs not cleared or approved by the FDA.

Noncompliance with FDA requirements may result in warning letters, fines, recalls, injunctions, and other civil or criminal penalties, potentially impacting the Company's ability to develop and commercialize new tests.

Outside the U.S., the Company is subject to similar regulations, including the EU IVDR, which imposes classification, quality, and safety standards. Compliance with these evolving international frameworks may increase costs and affect the Company's ability to support clinical trials and offer laboratory services.

***Failure to comply with U.S., state, local, or international environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act and the U.S. Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act, could result in fines, penalties and loss of licensure, and have a material adverse effect on the Company.*** 

As previously discussed in Item 1 of Part I of this Annual Report, the Company is subject to licensing and regulation under laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and human health and safety, including laws and regulations relating to the handling, transportation and disposal of medical specimens, infectious and hazardous waste and radioactive materials, as well as regulations relating to the safety and health of laboratory employees. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject the Company to denial of the right to conduct business, fines, criminal penalties, and/or other enforcement actions that would have a material adverse effect on its business. In addition, compliance with future legislation could impose additional requirements on the Company that may be costly.

***Views on matters relating to corporate responsibility and governance and the perception of the Company's activities in these areas by stakeholders may impact the Company's business and reputation.***

Governmental authorities, non-governmental organizations, customers, investors, external stakeholders, and employees are sensitive to matters of corporate responsibility and governance, such as environmental sustainability. This focus on these concerns may lead to new requirements that could result in increased costs associated with developing, manufacturing, and distributing the Company's offerings. The Company's ability to compete could also be affected by changing preferences and requirements on these matters and the Company's ability to meet them. If the Company does not meet the evolving and varied preferences and requirements of governmental authorities and others on these matters, the Company could experience reduced demand for its offerings, loss of customers, and other negative impacts on the Company's business and results of operations.

**Risks Related to Legal Matters**

***Adverse results in material litigation matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business.*** 

The Company is currently and may continue to be subject in the ordinary course of business to legal actions related to, among other things, intellectual property disputes, contract disputes, data and privacy issues, professional liability and employee-related matters, which may be or may become material. The Company also has received and may in the future receive inquiries and requests for information from governmental agencies and bodies, including Medicare or Medicaid payers, requesting comment and/or information on various matters, including allegations of billing irregularities, billing and pricing arrangements, or privacy practices that are brought to its attention through audits or third parties. Legal actions can result in substantial monetary damages as well as damage to the Company's reputation with customers, which could have a material adverse effect upon its business.

***The failure to successfully obtain, maintain, and enforce intellectual property rights and defend against challenges to the Company's intellectual property rights could adversely affect the Company.***

The Company relies on intellectual property—including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets—to support many of its offerings and processes. Some of this intellectual property is licensed from third parties, including on an exclusive basis. The Company's ability to maintain and enforce its proprietary rights, prevent infringement, and defend claims of infringement is critical to its operations.

The Company has faced, and may continue to face, challenges relating to intellectual property rights. For example, in October 2020, Ravgen Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company alleging infringement of two Ravgen-owned U.S. patents. In September 2022, a jury rendered a verdict in favor of Ravgen on the remaining patent at issue and awarded damages of $272.0 million. In May 2023, the court awarded Ravgen additional enhanced damages in the amount of $100.0 million, and in January 2025, the court awarded Ravgen post-verdict supplemental damages of $2.6 million, an ongoing royalty of $100 per test through the life of the patent as issue, pre- and post-judgement interest, and other relief. The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict, based on a number of legal factors, and will vigorously defend the lawsuit through the appeal process.

Failure to successfully obtain, maintain, enforce, or defend intellectual property rights—or adverse outcomes in litigation—could result in the need to alter or discontinue offerings, pay significant costs, damages or licensing fees, or suffer reputational harm, any of which could materially affect the Company's business, reputational, and results of operations.

***Changes in tax laws and regulations or the interpretation of such may have a significant impact on the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company.***

U.S. and foreign governments continue to review, reform and modify tax laws, including with respect to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's base erosion and profit shifting initiative. Changes in tax laws and regulations could materially affect the Company's tax obligations.

In addition, the Company is subject to regular audits with respect to its various tax returns and processes in jurisdictions in which it operates. Errors or omissions in tax returns, process failures or differences in interpretation of tax laws by tax authorities and the Company may lead to litigation, payments of additional taxes, penalties, and interest.

***Contract services in the drug development industry create liability risks.***

In contracting to work on drug development trials and studies, BLS faces potential risks inherent to the provision of diagnostic information services for clinical trial participants. Users of BLS for clinical trials may have a greater sensitivity to errors than the users of services or products that are intended for other purposes, such as research only. Other potential liabilities may include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• errors or omissions that create harm to clinical trial subjects during a trial or to consumers of a drug after the trial is completed and regulatory approval of the drug has been granted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risks that animals in BLS's facilities may be infected with diseases that may be harmful and even lethal to themselves and humans despite preventive measures contained in BLS's business policies, including those for the quarantine and handling of imported animals; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• errors and omissions during a trial or study that may undermine the usefulness of a trial or study, or data from the trial or study or that may delay the entry of a drug to the market.

While BLS endeavors to include in its contracts provisions entitling it to be indemnified and entitling it to a limitation of liability, these provisions are not always successfully obtained and, even if obtained, do not uniformly protect BLS against liability arising from certain of its own actions. BLS could be materially and adversely affected if it were required to pay

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

damages or bear the costs of defending any claim that is not covered by a contractual indemnification provision, or in the event that a party which must indemnify it does not fulfill its indemnification obligations, or in the event that BLS is not successful in limiting its liability or in the event that the damages and costs exceed BLS's insurance coverage. BLS may also be required to agree to contract provisions with clinical site selection or its customers related to the conduct of clinical trials, and BLS could be materially and adversely affected if it were required to indemnify a site or customer against claims pursuant to such contract terms. There can be no assurance that BLS will be able to maintain sufficient insurance coverage on acceptable terms.

None.

**Item 1C. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CYBERSECURITY**

**Risk Management and Strategy**

Protecting the information maintained by the Company about its patients, customers, colleagues, and partners against external and internal threats is a priority for the Company. Accordingly, the Company maintains an enterprise-wide cybersecurity risk management program and invests in cybersecurity policies, control standards, and control procedures, including risk assessment activities, security and event monitoring capabilities, an IR plan, and other detection, prevention, and protection capabilities designed to monitor and mitigate external and insider threats. Through its OIS within the Information Technology organization, the Company engages in a risk-based monitoring and assessment process that analyzes potential business impact of cybersecurity threats to its systems and data, and assesses the effectiveness of the controls in place.

The Company has implemented a formal cybersecurity governance program aligned to elements of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and the SCF. The governance program integrates controls from various regulations, standards, and best practices and supports a structured approach to identifying, protecting against, detecting, responding to, and recovering from cybersecurity threats. The Company's program includes the evaluation of the cybersecurity posture of third-party suppliers and vendors that have access to the Company's data or information technology systems. Consistent with business requirements, components of the Company's information technology enlivenment and control activities are assessed by independent third parties against various frameworks and standards. The Company uses the results of these assessments to inform risk prioritization and remediation planning. With the assistance of these frameworks and standards, the Company assesses risks from cybersecurity threats, monitors its information systems for potential vulnerabilities, assesses those systems pursuant to the Company's cybersecurity policies, control standards, and control procedures, and implements appropriate mitigation measures.

**Incident Response and Resilience**

The Company has implemented an IR Plan, which is integrated with the Company's enterprise crisis management, business continuity, and disaster recovery programs. The IR Plan provides a framework for responding to and managing cybersecurity incidents and is designed to support timely escalation, coordinated decision-making, and effective recovery. The IR Plan outlines incident response requirements, reporting processes, protocols for incident evaluation, and procedures for notifying and escalating information to the Company's senior management, and the Board and/or appropriate Board committees, as applicable. The IR Plan is reviewed, tested, and updated under the leadership of the Company's CITO and CIRO.

**Employee Training**

The Company's cybersecurity team provides enterprise-wide cybersecurity training for employees to maintain and continuously improve the Company's mitigation against human-driven risk. Cybersecurity training is conducted annually, with supplemental and role-based training required for personnel with elevated system access or responsibilities. The Company also conducts periodic simulations and awareness activities designed to reinforce expected behaviors and reduce the likelihood of cybersecurity incidents.

**Engagement with External Cybersecurity Professionals**

The Company engages with third parties to assess the effectiveness of, and assist with, its cybersecurity risk and response systems and processes. These third parties include cybersecurity assessors, consultants, and professionals who help identify, verify, and validate cybersecurity risks and support mitigation as appropriate.

**Oversight of Third-Party Service Providers**

The Company's processes also are designed to evaluate the cybersecurity threat risks associated with its use of third-party service providers that have applicable levels of access to the Company's data or information technology systems. The Company performs due diligence on third parties that have access to its systems, data, or facilities that house such systems or data, and it monitors cybersecurity threats identified through such due diligence.

**Cybersecurity Incident Impact**

The Company describes whether and how risks from identified cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect it, including its business and operating results, financial condition, and impact on the Company's reputation and customer relationships under the "Risks Related to Technology and Cybersecurity" heading and subheadings thereunder in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report, which disclosures are incorporated by reference herein.

In July 2018, the Company experienced a ransomware incident which affected certain Dx information technology systems. The incident also temporarily affected certain other information technology systems involved in conducting Company-wide operations. An investigation determined that the ransomware did not and could not transfer patient or client data outside of Company systems and that there was no theft or misuse of patient or client data. This incident did not have a material effect on the Company.

On May 14, 2019, Retrieval-Masters Credit Bureau, Inc. d/b/a/ American Medical Collections Agency (AMCA), an external collection agency, notified the Company about a security incident AMCA experienced that may have involved certain personal information about some of the Company's patients (the AMCA Incident). The Company is involved in pending and threatened litigation related to the AMCA Incident, as well as various government and regulatory inquiries and processes. For additional information about the AMCA Incident, see Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements "Cybersecurity" and "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Technology and Cybersecurity".

**Governance**

The Company's Board has oversight responsibility for the Company's enterprise risk management process and it delegates oversight responsibility for certain significant functional areas of risk management to the board's committees. The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for oversight and review of the Company's cybersecurity and other information technology risks, controls, and procedures, including the potential impact of such risks on the Company's business, financial results, operations, and reputation, as well as the Company's plans to mitigate cybersecurity risks and to respond to cybersecurity incidents.

The CIRO and CITO routinely present cybersecurity reports to the Audit Committee at its regularly scheduled meetings. These reports may address cyber risks and threats, the status of projects to strengthen the Company's information security systems, assessments of the Company's security program, prior incidents, and the emerging cyber threat landscape. In addition, the full Board receives briefings from the CIRO and CITO on at least an annual basis.

Management is responsible for day-to-day assessment and oversight of cybersecurity risks. At the senior management level, the CITO is responsible for overseeing the Company's information technology systems, technology capabilities, and cybersecurity practices. The CITO has more than 15 years of experience working in information technology-related roles and is a member of the Company's executive leadership team and reports to the Chief Executive Officer. Prior to joining the Company, the CITO held various leadership positions with global companies.

The CIRO, under the direction of the CITO, is responsible for overseeing the OIS. In this role, the CIRO oversees the cyber risk management function, which identifies cybersecurity threats, assesses cybersecurity risks, and supports the CITO and the Company in managing such risks. The CIRO has over 30 years of experience in information security, and prior to joining the Company held various chief information security officer roles, including seven years at a global healthcare company. The CIRO has also served on the board of directors of Health-ISAC, an organization of critical infrastructure owners and operators within the health and public health sectors.

The CITO and CIRO together lead efforts to design, implement, and operate controls deemed appropriate for the management of cybersecurity risks. OIS manages the policies, control procedures, and control standards designed to identify, protect against, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity threats and cybersecurity incidents.

**Item 7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

**<u>GENERAL (dollars in millions)</u>**

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company's revenues were $13,951.7, an increase of 7.2% from $13,008.9 for the corresponding period in 2024. The 7.2% increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in 2024, was primarily due to organic revenue of 4.4%, acquisitions, net of divestitures of 2.5%, and favorable foreign currency translation of 0.4%.

The Company defines organic growth as the increase in revenue excluding the year over year impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and currency. Acquisition and divestiture impact is considered for a 12-month period following the close of each transaction.

On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the Spin-off. The TSA dated June 29, 2023 between Fortrea and LCAH expired on June 30, 2025, and all services provided under the TSA terminated on or before the expiration date.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the OBBBA, which includes provisions addressing regulations and federal funding affecting healthcare. These provisions include, but are not limited to, changes to Medicaid and the ACA, and could lead to revised regulatory requirements and reduced federal funding. As a result of these changes, the Company could experience a decline in utilization of its diagnostics testing services due to a reduction in overall insurance coverage, which may cause the Company's revenue to decrease. However, the Company currently believes any such reduction would not likely have a material impact on its results of operations in future periods. The potential impacts described above represent the Company's assessment at this time, and the Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the OBBBA on its business and operations, if any, as the legislation's provisions continue to become effective through 2028.

**<u>RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (dollars in millions)</u>**

The following tables present the financial measures that management considers to be the most significant indicators of the Company's performance. For the discussion of 2024 results and comparison with 2023 results refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

---

Dx revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $10,876.5, an increase of 7.2% compared to revenues of $10,144.3 in the corresponding period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to organic revenue of 4.1% and acquisitions, net of divestitures of 3.2%, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation of 0.1%.

Dx total volume, measured by requisitions, increased by 3.7%, as organic volume increased by 2.2% and acquisition volume, net of divestitures, contributed 1.5%. Price/mix increased by 3.5% due to organic growth of 1.9% and acquisitions, net of divestitures, of 1.7%, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation of 0.1%.

BLS revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $3,098.2, an increase of 6.0% over revenues of $2,922.6 in the corresponding period in 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily due to organic growth of 4.0% and favorable foreign currency translation of 2.0%.

---

Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 15.9% for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 17.1% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to growth in demand as the Company leveraged the growth of its revenues and a decrease in costs related to the Spin-off, partially offset by higher personnel costs and the impact from Invitae.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, interest expense increased 7.6% as compared with the corresponding period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher weighted-average interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2025, when compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

---

Equity method loss, net represents the Company's ownership share in joint venture partnerships along with equity investments in other companies in the health care industry. The increase in Equity method loss, net for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared with the corresponding period in 2024, was primarily due to the loss recognized from the SYNLAB investment that closed in the first quarter of 2025.

---

The change in Other, net for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to the TSA expiration resulting in a $76.2 decrease of fees charged to Fortrea for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared with the corresponding period in 2024, related to the provision of administrative and information technology systems support. The costs to provide these transition services were included in Operating income, but the service fees were included in Other, net. In addition, there were net investment losses of $42.6, recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net investment losses of $11.4 for the corresponding period of 2024, which are primarily driven by a decrease in the value of investments in other companies or investment funds that develop technology relating to the Company's operations.

<sup>(1)</sup> Amount does not cross-foot due to rounding.

Dx segment operating income was $1,779.9 for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of 10.8% from operating income of $1,606.3 in the corresponding period of 2024, and Dx operating margin increased approximately 50 basis points year-over-year. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to increased organic revenue growth, including the performance of Invitae.

BLS segment operating income was $498.5 for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of 8.6% from operating income of $458.9 in the corresponding period of 2024, and BLS operating margin increased approximately 40 basis points year over year. The increase in operating margin was primarily due to increased organic revenue growth and operating efficiencies, partially offset by higher personnel costs.

General corporate expenses are comprised primarily of administrative services, such as executive management, human resources, legal, finance, corporate affairs, and information technology. Corporate expenses were $482.2 for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of 28.1% over corporate expenses of $670.8 in the corresponding period of 2024, primarily due to decreases in acquisition-related costs and costs related to the Spin-off.

**<u>LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts)</u>**

The Company's cash-generating capability and financial condition typically have provided ready access to capital markets. The Company's principal source of liquidity is operating cash flow, supplemented by proceeds from debt offerings. The Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility is further discussed in Note 11 Debt to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In summary the Company's cash flows were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $1640.5 | $1585.8 |
| Net cash used for investing activities | (1194.0) | (1366.8) |
| Net cash (used for) provided by financing activities | (1457.0) | 779.9 |
| Effect of exchange rate on changes in cash and cash equivalents | 24.1 | (17.0) |
| Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents | $(986.4) | $981.9 |

---

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025, and 2024, totaled $532.3 and $1,518.7, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments, such as time deposits and other money market investments, which have original maturities of three months or less.

***Cash Flows from Operating Activities***

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company's operations provided $1,640.5 of cash as compared to $1,585.8 in 2024. The $54.7 increase in net cash provided from operations in 2025, as compared with the corresponding 2024 period, was primarily due to higher cash earnings, partially offset by working capital timing.

***Cash Flows from Investing Activities***

Net cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $1,194.0 as compared to $1,366.8 for the

------

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in net cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in business acquisitions and lower capital expenditures, partially offset by the investment in SYNLAB in 2025.

Capital expenditures were $434.5 and $489.9 for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2025 were 3.1% of revenues, primarily in connection with projects to support growth in the Company's core businesses. The Company expects this level of spending to increase in 2026 to 4.0%, primarily in connection with projects to support growth in the Company's core businesses, facility expansion and updates, projects related to its LaunchPad initiative, and further acquisition integration initiatives.

***Cash Flows from Financing Activities***

Net cash used for financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $1,457.0 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $779.9 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This movement in cash within financing activities for 2025, as compared to 2024, was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from senior note offerings of $2,000.0, an increase in common stock repurchases of $199.9, and a decrease in proceeds from the Company's accounts receivable securitization facility of $75.0.

In addition to Cash and cash equivalents, the Company had $1,000.0 of available borrowings under its revolving credit facility, which was amended on June 27, 2025 and expires in 2030. Under the Company's credit facilities and indentures relating to the Company's senior notes and the accounts receivable securitization facility (AR Facility), the Company is subject to negative covenants limiting subsidiary indebtedness and certain other covenants typical for investment grade-rated borrowers, and with respect to the credit facilities, the Company is required to maintain certain leverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facilities and the indentures related to the Company's outstanding senior notes and AR Facility at December 31, 2025. The Company expects that it will remain in compliance with all covenants associated with its existing debt obligations for the next 12 months.

In 2025, the Company borrowed an additional $225.0 under its AR Facility, bringing the amount outstanding to $525.0 at December 31, 2025.

On January 28, 2026, the Company amended its AR Facility. Among other things, this amendment extended the scheduled termination date to January 26, 2029 and permits the Company at its option to increase the facility limit from $700.0 to $825.0 at any time on or before May 29, 2026.

On July 24, 2024, the Board adopted a new share repurchase plan authorizing the repurchase of up to $1,000.0 maximum value of the Company's shares in addition to the remaining amount outstanding under the previous plan. At December 31, 2025, the Company had outstanding authorization from its Board to purchase up to $830.4 maximum value of Common Stock. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company paid $240.7 in Common Stock dividends. On January 14, 2026, the Company announced a cash dividend of $0.72 per share of Common Stock, or approximately $61.0 in the aggregate. The dividend will be paid on March 12, 2026, to stockholders of record of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on February 27, 2026. The declaration and payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board.

***Guarantor Information***

In 2024, the Company, LCAH and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the Trustee) entered into a seventeenth supplemental indenture (the Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture) to the indenture, dated as of November 19, 2010, between LCAH and the Trustee (2010 Indenture). In addition, the Company, LCAH and the Trustee entered into the 2024 Indenture on September 23, 2024 (the 2024 Indenture, together with the 2010 Indenture, the Indentures). The Seventeenth Supplemental Indenture, among other things, provides for the full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of LCAH's obligations under the 2010 Indenture, and each series of senior unsecured notes issued and outstanding thereunder, and the 2024 Indenture provides for the full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of LCAH's obligations, and each series of senior unsecured notes issued and outstanding, thereunder (collectively, the Labcorp Holdings Guarantees). Also, the Indentures permit the Company to satisfy LCAH's reporting obligations so long as the Labcorp Holdings Guarantees remain in place and the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and other information comply with the requirements of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X.

At December 31, 2025, there was $3,097.3 and $2,000.0 aggregate principal amount of issued and outstanding senior notes of LCAH, issued under the 2010 Indenture and the 2024 Indenture, respectively, that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, separate consolidated financial statements of LCAH have not been presented. As permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi) of Regulation S-X, we have excluded the summarized

------

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

financial information for LCAH because the assets, liabilities and results of operations of LCAH are not materially different than the corresponding amounts in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and would not provide incremental value to investors.

***Credit Ratings***

The investment grade credit ratings from Moody's and S&P Global Ratings contribute to the Company's ability to access capital markets.

***Off-balance Sheet Arrangements***

The Company does not have any variable interest entities or special purpose entities whose financial results are not included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has a noncancelable contract with a vendor to purchase inventory supplies pursuant to which the Company is obligated to make expected total future minimum payments of $129.2, including $34.7 in 2026, $20.5 in 2027, and $74.0 in 2028.

***Other Commercial Commitments***

The Company has debt instruments outstanding. At December 31, 2025, the Company had total future payments of $5,622.6, with $500.3 payable within 12 months, which the Company anticipates refinancing in future periods.

The Company has leases for PSCs, laboratories and testing facilities, clinical facilities, general office spaces, vehicles, and office and laboratory equipment. At December 31, 2025, the Company had total future lease payments for short-term and long-term leases of $1,144.3, with payments of $234.4 due within 12 months.

At December 31, 2025, the Company had provided letters of credit aggregating approximately $110.2, primarily in connection with certain insurance programs that are renewed annually.

At December 31, 2025, and in connection with the pending acquisitions of select clinical laboratory assets from Empire City Laboratories, Inc. (Empire City) and select assets of the outreach business from Parkview Health System, Inc. (Parkview), the Company expects to pay up to $415.0, which includes $85.0 of consideration contingent on performance. The Empire City transaction closed during the first quarter of 2026. Subject to customary closing conditions and applicable regulatory approvals, the Company expects the acquisition of select assets from Parkview to close in 2026. See Note 4 Business Acquisitions and Dispositions to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Based on current and projected levels of cash flows from operations, coupled with availability under its revolving credit facility, the Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet both its anticipated short-term and long-term cash needs for the next 12 months and the reasonably foreseeable future; however, the Company continually reassesses its liquidity position in light of market conditions and other relevant factors.

**<u>CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES</u>**

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. While the Company believes these estimates are reasonable and consistent, they are by their very nature estimates of amounts that will depend on future events. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company's Audit Committee periodically reviews the Company's significant accounting policies. The Company's critical accounting policies arise in conjunction with the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Revenue recognition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Business combinations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Income taxes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Legal contingencies.

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

***Revenue Recognition***

*Dx*

Within the Dx segment, a revenue transaction is initiated when Dx receives a requisition form to perform a diagnostic test. The information provided on the requisition form is used to determine the party that will be billed for the testing performed and the expected reimbursement. Dx recognizes revenue and satisfies its performance obligation for services rendered when the testing process is complete, and the associated results are reported. The Dx segment also enters into lab management agreements which have monthly and non-testing-based fees which are recognized each month as the services are provided. Revenues are distributed among four payer portfolios—clients, patients, Medicare and Medicaid, and third party. Dx considers negotiated discounts and anticipated adjustments, including historical collection experience for the payer portfolio, when revenues are recorded.

The following are descriptions of the Dx payer portfolios:

*Clients*

Client payers represent the portion of Dx's revenue related to physicians, hospitals, health systems, ACOs, employers, and other entities where payment is received exclusively from the entity ordering the testing service. Generally, client revenues are recorded on a fee-for-service basis at Dx's client list price, less any negotiated discount. A portion of client billing is for laboratory management services, collection kits and other non-testing offerings. In these cases, revenue is recognized when services are rendered or delivered.

*Patients*

This portfolio includes revenue from uninsured patients and member cost-share for insured patients (e.g., coinsurance, deductibles, and non-covered services). Uninsured patients are billed based upon Dx's patient fee schedules, net of any discounts negotiated with physicians on behalf of their patients. Dx bills insured patients as directed by their health plan and after consideration of the fees and terms associated with an established health plan contract.

*Medicare and Medicaid*

This portfolio relates to fee-for-service revenue from traditional Medicare and Medicaid programs. Net revenue from these programs is based on the fee schedule established by the related government authority. In addition to contractual discounts, other adjustments including anticipated payer denials are considered when determining net revenue. Any remaining adjustments to revenue are recorded at the time of final collection and settlement. These adjustments are not material to Dx's results of operations in any period presented.

*Third Party*

Third party includes revenue related to MCOs. The majority of Dx's third-party revenue is reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis. These payers are billed at Dx's established list price and revenue is recorded net of contractual discounts. The majority of Dx's MCO revenues are recorded based upon contractually negotiated fee schedules with revenues for non-contracted MCOs recorded based on historical reimbursement experience.

Third-party reimbursement is also received through capitation agreements with MCOs and IPAs. Under capitated agreements, revenue is recognized based on a negotiated per-member, per-month payment for an agreed upon menu of tests, or based upon the proportionate share earned by Dx from a capitation pool. When the agreed upon reimbursement is based solely on an established rate per member, revenue is not impacted by the volume of testing performed. Under a capitation pool arrangement, the aggregate value of an established rate per member is distributed based on the volume and complexity of the procedures performed by laboratories participating in the agreement. Dx recognizes revenue monthly, based upon the established capitation rate or anticipated distribution from a capitated pool.

Dx has a formal process to estimate implicit price concessions for uncollectable accounts. The majority of Dx's collection risk is related to accounts receivable from both insured and uninsured patients who are unwilling or unable to pay. Anticipated write-offs are recorded as adjustments to revenue at an amount considered necessary to record the segment's revenue at its net realizable value. In addition to contractual discounts, other adjustments including anticipated payer denials and other external factors that could affect the collectability of its receivables are considered when determining revenue and the net receivable amount. Any remaining adjustments to revenue are recorded at the time of final collection and settlement. These adjustments are not material to Dx's results of operations in any period presented.

*BLS*

BLS revenue is generally recognized over time, as the services are delivered to the customer, based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion

------

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

requires judgment and is based on the nature of the services to be provided. The majority of BLS's contracts contain a single performance obligation, as BLS provides a significant service of integrating all promises in the contract and the promises are highly interdependent and interrelated with one another. For contracts that include multiple performance obligations, BLS allocates the contract value to the goods and services based on a customer price list, if available. If a price list is not available, BLS will estimate the transaction price using either market prices or an "expected cost plus margin" approach. The total contract value is estimated at the beginning of the contract, and is equal to the amount expected to be billed to the customer. These contracts generally take the form of fixed-price or fee-for-service arrangements subject to pricing adjustments based on changes in scope.

Fixed-price contracts are typically recognized as revenue over time based on a proportional-performance basis, using either input or output methods that are specific to the service provided. In an output method, revenue is determined by dividing the actual units of output achieved by the total units of output required under the contract and multiplying that percentage by the total contract value. When using an input method, revenue is recognized by dividing the actual costs incurred by the total estimated cost expected to complete the contract, and multiplying that percentage by the total contract value. Contract costs principally include direct labor costs, research model costs, and allocated overhead costs. The estimate of total costs expected to complete the contract requires significant judgment and these estimates are reviewed periodically. Any adjustments to these estimates are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period they become known.

Fee-for-service contracts are typically priced based on transaction volume or time and materials. For volume-based contracts, the contract value is entirely variable, and revenue is recognized as the specific service is completed. For services billed based on time and materials, revenue is recognized using the right to invoice practical expedient.

Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Generally, when contract modifications create new performance obligations, the modification is considered to be a separate contract and revenue is recognized prospectively. When contract modifications change existing performance obligations, the impact on the existing transaction price and measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is generally recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.

Most contracts are terminable with or without cause by the customer, either immediately or upon notice. These contracts often require payment to BLS of expenses incurred and fees earned to date and, in some cases, a termination fee or a payment to BLS of some portion of the fees or profits that could have been earned by BLS under the contract if it had not been terminated early. Termination fees are included in revenues when services have been performed and realization is assured.

BLS incurs sales commissions in the process of obtaining contracts with customers, which are recoverable through the service fees in the contract. Sales commissions that are payable upon contract award are recognized as assets and amortized over the expected contract term, along with related payroll tax expense. The amortization of commission expense is based on the weighted-average contract duration for all commissionable awards in the respective business in which the commission expense is paid, which approximates the period over which goods and services are transferred to the customer. The amortization period of sales commissions ranges from approximately 1 to 5 years, depending on the business. For businesses that enter into primarily short-term contracts, BLS applies the practical expedient, which allows costs to obtain a contract to be expensed when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that would otherwise have been recognized is one year or less. Amortization of assets from sales commissions is included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

***Business Combinations***

The Company accounts for business combination transactions under the acquisition method of accounting and reports the results of operations of the acquired entities from its respective date of acquisition. Assets acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Estimated fair values are based on various valuation methodologies, including an income approach using primarily discounted cash flow techniques for the customer relationships intangible assets. The aforementioned income methods utilize management's estimates of future operating results and cash flows discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects market participant assumptions. The excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed over the fair value of the assets acquired are recorded as goodwill. The goodwill reflects management's expectations of the ability to gain access to the acquired entities' historical patient base and the benefits of being able to leverage operational efficiencies with favorable growth opportunities based on positive industry and market conditions.

***Income Taxes***

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is

------

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company does not recognize a tax benefit, unless the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If the recognition threshold is met, the Company recognizes a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that the Company believes is greater than 50% likely to be realized. The Company records interest and penalties in Provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

***Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets***

The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The annual impairment test for goodwill includes an option to perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value. Reporting units are businesses with discrete financial information that is available and reviewed by management. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company performs the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company may also choose to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in its goodwill assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative assessment. The Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers relevant events and circumstances for each reporting unit, including (i) current year results, (ii) financial performance versus management's annual and five-year strategic plans, (iii) changes in the reporting unit carrying value since prior year, (iv) industry and market conditions in which the reporting unit operates, (v) macroeconomic conditions, including discount rate changes, and (vi) changes in offerings provided by the reporting unit. If applicable, performance in recent years is compared to forecasts included in prior quantitative valuations. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, if the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying values of the reporting unit, then no quantitative assessment is performed.

The quantitative assessment includes the estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit as compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using both income-based and market-based valuation methods. The income-based approach is based on the reporting unit's forecasted future cash flows that are discounted to the present value using the reporting unit's weighted-average cost of capital. For the market-based approach, the Company utilizes a number of factors such as publicly available information regarding the market capitalization of the Company, as well as operating results, business plans, market multiples, and present value techniques. Based upon the range of estimated values developed from the income and market-based methods, the Company determines the estimated fair value for the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, the goodwill is not impaired, and no further review is required.

The income-based fair value methodology requires management's assumptions and judgments regarding economic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates and conditions in the capital markets, many of which are outside of management's control. At the reporting unit level, fair value estimation requires management's assumptions and judgments regarding the effects of overall economic conditions on the specific reporting unit, along with assessment of the reporting unit's strategies and forecasts of future cash flows. Forecasts of individual reporting unit cash flows involve management's estimates and assumptions regarding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual cash flows, on a debt-free basis, arising from future revenues and profitability, working capital changes, capital spending and income taxes for at least a five-year forecast period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A terminal growth rate for years beyond the forecast period. The terminal growth rate is selected based on consideration of growth rates used in the forecast period, historical performance of the reporting unit, and economic conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A discount rate that reflects the risks inherent in realizing the forecasted cash flows. A discount rate considers the risk-free rate of return on long-term treasury securities, the risk premium associated with investing in equity securities of comparable companies, the beta obtained from the comparable companies, and the cost of debt for investment grade issuers. In addition, the discount rate may consider any specific risk in achieving the prospective financial information.

Under the market-based fair value methodology, judgment is required in evaluating market multiples and recent transactions. Management believes that the assumptions used for its impairment tests are representative of those that would be used by market participants performing similar valuations of the reporting units.

Management performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for each of its reporting units. Based upon the results of the qualitative assessments, the Company concluded that the fair values of each of its reporting units, as of October 1, 2025, were greater than the carrying values.

------

<u>[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#i1e0708a102d14187af25ab4fa7a84c67_7)</u>

Although the Company believes that the current assumptions and estimates used in its goodwill analysis are reasonable, supportable, and appropriate, continued efforts to maintain or improve the performance of these businesses could be impacted by unfavorable or unforeseen changes which could impact the existing assumptions used in the impairment analysis. Various factors could reasonably be expected to unfavorably impact existing assumptions primarily delays in new customer bookings and the related delay in revenue from new customers, increases in customer termination activity, or increases in operating costs. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for the purposes of the goodwill impairment analysis will prove to be accurate predictions of future performance. It is possible that the Company's conclusions regarding impairment or recoverability of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets in any reporting unit could change in future periods. There can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions used in the Company's goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing performed as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025 will prove to be accurate predictions of the future, if, for example, (i) the businesses do not perform as projected, (ii) overall economic conditions in 2025 or future years vary from current assumptions (including changes in discount rates), (iii) business conditions or strategies for a specific reporting unit change from current assumptions, including loss of major customers, (iv) investors require higher rates of return on equity investments in the marketplace, or (v) enterprise values of comparable publicly traded companies, or actual sales transactions of comparable companies, were to decline, resulting in lower multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

***Legal Contingencies***

The Company is involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions, and other litigation (including those described in more detail below), arising in the ordinary course of business. These matters include, but are not limited to, intellectual property disputes, commercial and contract disputes, professional liability claims, employee-related matters, transaction related disputes, securities and corporate law matters, and inquiries, including subpoenas and other civil investigative demands, from governmental agencies, Medicare or Medicaid payers and MCOs reviewing billing practices or requesting comment on allegations of billing irregularities that are brought to their attention through billing audits or third parties.

The Company also is named from time to time in suits brought under the *qui tam* provisions of the False Claims Act and comparable state laws. These suits typically allege that the Company has made false statements and/or certifications in connection with claims for payment from U.S. federal or state healthcare programs. The suits may remain under seal (hence, unknown to the Company) for some time while the government decides whether to intervene on behalf of the *qui tam* plaintiff. Such claims are an inevitable part of doing business in the healthcare field today.

The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all statutes, regulations, and other requirements applicable to its commercial laboratory operations and drug development support services. The healthcare diagnostics and drug development industries are, however, subject to extensive regulation, and the courts have not interpreted many of the applicable statutes and regulations. Therefore, the applicable statutes and regulations could be interpreted or applied by a prosecutorial, regulatory, or judicial authority in a manner that would adversely affect the Company. Potential sanctions for violation of these statutes and regulations include significant civil and criminal penalties, fines, the loss of various licenses, certificates and authorizations, additional liabilities from third-party claims, and/or exclusion from participation in government programs.

The Company records an aggregate legal reserve, which is determined using calculations based on historical loss rates and assessment of trends experienced in settlements and defense costs. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450 "Contingencies," the Company establishes reserves for judicial, regulatory, and arbitration matters outside the aggregate legal reserve if and when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable and would exceed the aggregate legal reserve. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. For more information about legal contingencies, see Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Item 7A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK (dollar amounts in millions)**

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and other relevant market rate or price changes. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, and the Company regularly evaluates the exposure to such changes. The Company addresses its exposure to market risks, principally the market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, through a controlled program of risk management that includes, from time to time, the use of derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency forward contracts, cross currency swaps, and interest rate swap agreements. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

**Foreign Currency Exchange Rates**

Approximately 13.5% and 13.7% of the Company's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, were denominated in currencies other than the USD. The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements are reported in USD and, accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates will affect the translation of revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies into USD for purposes of reporting the Company's consolidated financial results. In 2025 and 2024, the most significant currency exchange rate exposures were to the CAD, Swiss Franc, Euro, and British Pound. Excluding the impacts from any outstanding or future hedging transactions, a hypothetical change of 10% in average exchange rates used to translate all foreign currencies to USD would have impacted income before income taxes for 2025 by approximately $31.7. Accumulated currency translation adjustments recorded as a separate component of Shareholders' equity were $231.7 and $(217.1) for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The Company does not have significant operations in countries in which the economy is considered to be highly inflationary.

The Company earns revenue from service contracts over a period of several months and, in some cases, over a period of several years. Accordingly, exchange rate fluctuations during this period may affect the Company's profitability with respect to such contracts. The Company is also subject to foreign currency transaction risk for fluctuations in exchange rates during the period of time between the consummation and cash settlement of transactions. The Company limits its foreign currency transaction risk through exchange rate fluctuation provisions stated in some of its contracts with customers, or it may hedge transaction risk with foreign currency forward contracts. At December 31, 2025, the Company had eight open foreign exchange forward contracts with various amounts maturing monthly through January 2026 with a notional value totaling approximately $238.0. At December 31, 2024, the Company had 12 open foreign exchange forward contracts with various amounts maturing monthly through January 2025 with a notional value totaling approximately $302.4.

The Company is a party to USD to Swiss Franc cross-currency swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $1,200.0, $300.0 maturing in 2029, $300.0 maturing in 2031 and $600.0 maturing in 2034, as a hedge against the impact of foreign exchange movements on its net investment in a Swiss Franc functional currency subsidiary.

**Interest Rates**

Some of the Company's debt is subject to interest at variable rates. As a result, fluctuations in interest rates affect the Company's financial results. The Company attempts to manage interest rate risk and overall borrowing costs through an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt, including the utilization of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps.

Borrowings under the Company's term loan credit facilities and revolving credit facility are subject to variable interest rates, unless fixed through interest rate swaps or other agreements.

In May 2021, to hedge against changes in the fair value portion of the Company's long-term debt, the Company entered into fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements for the 2.70% senior notes due 2031 with an aggregate notional value of $500.0 and variable interest rates currently based on the three-month SOFR, plus 1.0706%.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

The internal control over financial reporting at the Company was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

The Company's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2025. Management based this assessment on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework 2013" issued by COSO. Based on this assessment, the Company's management determined that, at December 31, 2025, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting. Management reviewed the results of its assessment with the Audit Committee of the Company's Board.

Deloitte and Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, who audited and reported on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company included in this Annual Report, also audited the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2025, as stated in its report, which is included herein immediately preceding the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Labcorp Holdings Inc.

***Opinion on the Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Labcorp Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 24, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

***Basis for Opinion***

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***Critical Audit Matter***

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

***Valuation of Labcorp Diagnostics (Dx) Segment Net Accounts Receivable— Refer to Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements***

*Critical Audit Matter Description* 

The Company recognizes Dx revenue and accounts receivable net of negotiated discounts and anticipated adjustments, including historical collection experience for each of its four payer portfolios (clients, patients, Medicare & Medicaid, and third-party). Management has a formal process to estimate implicit price concessions for uncollectable accounts. Anticipated write-offs are recorded as adjustments to revenue at an amount considered necessary to record revenue at its net realizable value. In addition to negotiated contractual discounts, other adjustments including anticipated payer denials and other external factors that could affect the collectability of its receivables are considered when determining revenue and the net receivable amount.

Given the significant judgment and estimates necessary to determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable related to the Dx segment, auditing such estimates required extensive audit effort and a high degree of auditor judgment when performing audit procedures and evaluating the results of those procedures.

*How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit*

Our audit procedures related to Dx Net Accounts Receivable included the following, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of net accounts receivable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We evaluated management's methodology for recording Dx net accounts receivable by performing a retrospective comparison of actual cash collected to the prior year estimate of net accounts receivable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We developed an independent estimate of net accounts receivable by taking into consideration historical collections, write-offs, and other relevant internal and external factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We tested the completeness and accuracy of underlying historical data used as an input to our independent estimate.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Labcorp Holdings Inc.

**Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Labcorp Holdings Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, of the Company and our report dated February 24, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Dollars and Shares in Millions, Except Per Share Data)**

**1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Basis of Financial Statement Presentation**

Labcorp<sup>®</sup> Holdings Inc. is a global leader of innovative and comprehensive laboratory services that provides vital information to help doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, researchers, and patients make clear and confident decisions. By leveraging its unparalleled diagnostics and drug development capabilities, the Company provides insights and accelerates innovations to improve health and improve lives.

The Company reports its business in two segments, Diagnostics Laboratories and Biopharma Laboratory Services. In 2025 and 2024, Dx and BLS contributed approximately 78% and 22%, respectively, of Revenues to the Company.

These Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries for which it exercises control. Long-term investments in affiliated companies in which the Company exercises significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Company does not have any significant variable interest entities or special purpose entities whose financial results are not included in these Consolidated Financial Statements.

The financial statements of the Company's operating foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the separation of Fortrea, formerly the Company's CDCS business, into a separate, publicly traded company. All current and historical operating results of Fortrea are presented as Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, as a result of the Spin-off, the Company recast segment results to exclude the historical results of the CDCS business for all periods presented.

These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include implicit price concessions, revenue estimates, the allowance for credit losses, deferred tax assets, fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities in business combinations, fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, amortization lives for acquired intangible assets, and accruals for self-insurance reserves, litigation reserves and pensions. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

**Reimbursable Out-of-Pocket Expenses**

BLS pays on behalf of its customers certain out-of-pocket costs for which the Company is reimbursed at cost, without mark-up or profit. Out-of-pocket costs paid by BLS are reflected in Cost of revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, while the reimbursements received are reflected in Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**Cost of Revenues**

Cost of revenue includes direct labor and related benefit charges, reimbursable expenses, other direct costs, shipping and handling fees, and an allocation of facility charges and information technology costs.

**Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses**

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of administrative payroll and related benefit charges, including stock compensation, administrative travel, and an allocation of facility charges and information technology costs.

**Concentration of Credit Risk**

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

The Company maintains Cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. The Company believes all financial institutions holding its cash are of high credit quality and does not believe the Company is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. The total Cash and cash equivalent

balances that exceeded the balances insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission, were approximately $529.9 and $1,516.0 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are with companies in the healthcare or pharmaceutical industry and individuals. However, concentrations of credit risk are mitigated due to the number of the Company's customers as well as their dispersion across many different geographic regions.

Although Dx has receivables due from U.S. and state governmental agencies, the Company does not believe that such receivables represent a credit risk since the related healthcare programs are funded by U.S. and state governments, and payment is primarily dependent upon submitting appropriate documentation. Accounts receivable balances (gross) from Medicare and Medicaid were $126.1 and $97.4 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

For the Company's operations in Ontario, Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (Ministry) determines who can establish a licensed community medical laboratory and caps the amount that each of these licensed laboratories can bill the government sponsored healthcare plan. The Ontario government-sponsored healthcare plan covers the cost of commercial laboratory testing performed by the licensed laboratories. The provincial government discounts the annual testing volumes based on certain utilization discounts and establishes an annual maximum it will pay for all community laboratory tests. The agreed-upon reimbursement rates are subject to Ministry review at the end of year and can be adjusted (at the government's discretion) based upon the actual volume and mix of test work performed by the licensed healthcare providers in the province during the year. The capitated accounts receivable balance from the Ontario government sponsored healthcare plan was CAD 5.8 and 6.4 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

The portion of the Company's accounts receivable due from patients comprises the largest portion of credit risk. At December 31, 2025, and 2024, receivables due from patients represented approximately 22.6% and 24.5% of the Company's consolidated gross accounts receivable, respectively. The Company applies assumptions and judgments including historical experience and reasonable and supportable forecasts for assessing collectability from patients.

**Earnings per Share**

Basic earnings per share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing Net earnings attributable to Labcorp Holdings Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing Net earnings attributable to Labcorp Holdings Inc., and if applicable, including the impact of dilutive adjustments by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares, as if they had been issued at the earlier of the date of issuance or the beginning of the period presented. Potentially dilutive common shares result primarily from the Company's outstanding stock options, restricted stock awards, and performance share awards.

The following represents a reconciliation of Basic EPS to Diluted EPS:

| Per share amount | $10.54 |  | $10.46 | $8.89 |  | $8.84 | $4.80 |  | $4.77 |  |  |  |  |

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Dollars and Shares in Millions, Except Per Share Data)**

**Stock Compensation Plans**

The Company measures stock compensation cost for all equity awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date. To estimate the fair value of stock option awards, the Black-Scholes model is used, which relies on various key assumptions, including risk-free interest rate, expected term, and expected volatility. The grant date fair value of performance awards is based on a Monte Carlo simulated fair value for the relative (as compared to the peer companies) total shareholder return component of the performance awards. Such value is recognized as an expense over the service period and the Company's determination of whether it is probable that the performance targets will be achieved. At the end of each reporting period, the Company reassesses the probability of achieving performance targets. Forfeitures are recognized as a reduction of expense in earnings in the period in which they occur.

**Cash Equivalents**

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments, such as commercial paper, time deposits, and/or other money market instruments, which have maturities when purchased of three months or less.

**Supplies Inventory**

Supplies inventory, consisting primarily of purchased laboratory and customer supplies and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. Supplies accounted for $386.2 and $384.2 and finished goods accounted for $148.5 and $109.0 of total Supplies inventory at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The Company's inventory reserve balance was $26.7 and $43.8, at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

**Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net**

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization expense is computed on all classes of assets based on their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Retirements, sales, and other disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation from the related accounts with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying value is no longer recoverable based upon the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset.

**Capitalized Software Costs**

The Company capitalizes purchased software that is ready for service and capitalizes software development costs incurred on significant projects starting from the time that the preliminary project stage is completed, and the Company commits to funding a project until the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended use. Capitalized software costs are included in Property, plant, and equipment, net within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are mainly comprised of direct material and service costs and payroll and payroll-related costs. Computer software maintenance costs related to software development are expensed as incurred. Capitalized software costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the underlying system ranging from three to fifteen years, generally five years. Amortization begins once the underlying system is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.

**Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets**

The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The annual impairment test for goodwill includes an option to perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value is less than its carrying value. Reporting units are businesses with discrete financial information that is available and reviewed by management. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company performs the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The Company may also choose to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in its goodwill assessment and proceed directly to performing the quantitative assessment. The Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

**(Dollars and Shares in Millions, Except Per Share Data)**

In the qualitative assessment, the Company considers relevant events and circumstances for each reporting unit, including (i) current year results, (ii) financial performance versus management's annual and five-year strategic plans, (iii) changes in the reporting unit carrying value since prior year, (iv) industry and market conditions in which the reporting unit operates, (v) macroeconomic conditions, including discount rate changes, and (vi) changes in offerings provided by the reporting unit. If applicable, performance in recent years is compared to forecasts included in prior quantitative valuations. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, if the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying values of the reporting unit, then no quantitative assessment is performed.

The quantitative assessment includes the estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit as compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit using both income-based and market-based valuation methods. The income-based approach is based on the reporting unit's forecasted future cash flows that are discounted to the present value using the reporting unit's weighted-average cost of capital. For the market-based approach, the Company utilizes a number of factors such as publicly available information regarding the market capitalization of the Company, as well as operating results, business plans, market multiples, and present value techniques. Based upon the range of estimated values developed from the income and market-based methods, the Company determines the estimated fair value for the reporting unit. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, the goodwill is not impaired, and no further review is required.

Management performed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment testing as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for each of its reporting units. Based upon the results of the qualitative assessments, the Company concluded that the fair values of each of its reporting units, as of October 1, 2025, were greater than the carrying values.

Although the Company believes that the current assumptions and estimates used in its goodwill analysis are reasonable, supportable, and appropriate, the Company's business could be impacted by unfavorable changes, including those that impact the existing assumptions used in the impairment analysis. Various factors could reasonably be expected to unfavorably impact existing assumptions, primarily a worsening economic environment and protracted economic downturn and related impacts, including delays in revenue from new customers, increases in customer termination activity, or increases in operating costs. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for the purposes of the goodwill impairment analysis will prove to be accurate predictions of future performance.

The Company will continue to monitor the financial performance of, and assumptions for, its reporting units. A significant increase in the discount rate, decrease in the revenue and terminal growth rates, decreased operating margin, or substantial reductions in end markets and volume assumptions, could have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of the reporting units. A future impairment charge for goodwill or intangible assets could have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations.

**Intangible Assets, Net**

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited such as legal life for patents and technology, contractual lives for non-compete agreements and customer relationships.

Intangible assets with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the carrying value is no longer recoverable based upon the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset.

**Investments**

The Company has investments in other companies or investment funds that develop technology relating to the Company's operations. Investments in which the Company does not exercise significant influence (generally, when the Company has an investment of less than 20% and no representation on the investee's board of directors) are accounted for at fair value or at cost minus impairment adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer for those investments that do not have readily determinable fair values. The carrying value of these type of investments was $201.9 and $199.7 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and are included within Other assets, net in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

**Debt Issuance Costs**

The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized, netted against the related debt for presentation purposes and amortized to interest expense over the terms of the related debt.

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Dollars and Shares in Millions, Except Per Share Data)**

**Professional Liability**

The Company is self-insured (up to certain limits) for professional liability claims arising in the normal course of business, generally related to laboratory testing and reporting of test results. The Company estimates a liability that represents the ultimate exposure for aggregate losses below those limits. The liability is based on assumptions and factors for known and incurred but not reported claims, including the frequency and payment trends of historical claims.

**Leases**

All leases with a lease term greater than 12 months are recorded as an obligation in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding ROU asset, while short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Both finance and operating leases are reflected as liabilities on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. ROU assets are valued at the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs or rent prepayments, minus lease incentives and any deferred lease payments. The classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

A certain number of these leases contain rent escalation clauses either fixed or adjusted periodically for inflation or market rates that are factored into the Company's determination of lease payments. The Company also has variable lease payments that do not depend on a rate or index, for items such as volume purchase commitments, which are recorded as variable cost when incurred. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimates an incremental borrowing rate based on the credit quality of the Company and by comparing interest rates available in the market for similar borrowings, and adjusting this amount based on the impact of collateral over the term of each lease. The Company uses this rate to discount payments to present value. Some operating leases contain renewal options, some of which also include options to early terminate the leases. The exercise of these options is at the Company's discretion, and the Company evaluates each renewal option to determine if it is reasonably possible to be exercised and should be included in the accounting lease term.

**Income Taxes**

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the asset and liability method. Under this method deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and for tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company does not recognize a tax benefit unless the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be sustained on audit by the taxing authority based solely on the technical merits of the associated tax position. If the recognition threshold is met, the Company recognizes a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of the tax benefit that the Company believes is greater than 50% likely to be realized. The Company records interest and penalties in Provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**Derivative Financial Instruments**

The Company addresses its exposure to market risks, principally the market risk associated with changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates, through a controlled program of risk management that includes, from time to time, the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company does not believe that its exposure to market risk is material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Interest rate swap agreements, which have been used by the Company from time to time in the management of interest rate exposure, are accounted for at fair value. These derivative financial instruments are accounted for as fair value hedges that increase or decrease the value of the Company's senior notes with the offset being recorded as a component of other long-term assets or liabilities, as applicable. As the specific terms and notional amounts of the derivative financial instruments match those of the fixed-rate debt being hedged, the derivative instruments are assumed to be perfectly effective hedges and accordingly, there is no impact to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash flows from the interest rate swaps are including in operating activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Cross currency swap agreements, which have been used by the Company to hedge the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in a Swiss subsidiary, are accounted for at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the cross-currency swaps are charged or credited through Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Balance Sheet until the hedged item is

**(Dollars and Shares in Millions, Except Per Share Data)**

recognized in earnings. The cumulative amount of the fair value hedging adjustments are recognized as Foreign currency translation adjustments within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings.

Foreign currency forward contracts, which have been used by the Company to hedge foreign currency receivables, are recognized as assets or liabilities at their fair value. These contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting and the changes in fair value are recorded directly to earnings. The contracts are short-term in nature and the fair value of these contracts is based on market prices for comparable contracts.

**Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

Fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities are determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered fair value hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2), and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3).

**Foreign Currencies**

For subsidiaries outside of the U.S. that operate in a local currency environment, income and expense items are translated to USD at the monthly average rates of exchange prevailing during the period, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates and equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of Shareholders' equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are included in the determination of comprehensive earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of Net earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted**

In July 2025, the 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 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this accounting pronouncement will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act**

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the OBBBA, which includes significant changes to federal tax law, including modifications to bonus depreciation, R&D expensing, and international tax regimes. The tax provisions of the OBBBA will enable the Company to accelerate the realization of $194.7 of deferred tax assets relating to R&D costs over the next two years, but will have no material net impact within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS**

On June 30, 2023, (the Distribution Date), Labcorp completed the Spin-off. All historical operating results of Fortrea are presented as Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Spin-off is expected to be treated as tax-free for the Company and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Spin-off was achieved through the Company's pro-rata distribution of 100% of the outstanding shares of Fortrea common stock to holders of record of Labcorp common stock. Each holder of record of Labcorp common stock received one share of Fortrea common stock for every share of Labcorp common stock.

In connection with the Spin-off, the Company entered into several agreements with Fortrea on or prior to the Distribution Date that, among other things, provide a framework for the Company's relationship with Fortrea after the Spin-off, including a separation and distribution agreement, a tax matters agreement, an employee matters agreement, and a TSA. These agreements contained the key provisions that related to the Spin-off, including provisions related to the principal intercompany transactions required to effect the Spin-off, the conditions to the Spin-off, and provisions that governed the relationship between Fortrea and the Company after the Spin-off. The costs to provide these services are included in Operating income and the service fees earned are included in Other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The TSA between Fortrea and LCAH expired on June 30, 2025, and all services provided under the TSA terminated on or before the expiration date.

**Financial Information of Discontinued Operations**

Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the after-tax results of Fortrea's business and Spin-off-related fees, and do not include any allocation of general corporate overhead expense or interest expense of the Company.

The following table summarizes the significant line items included in Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Revenues in the U.S. were $11,650.1 (83.5%), $10,858.3 (83.5%), and $10,177.7 (83.7%) for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.

The following is a description of the current revenue recognition policies of the Company:

***Dx Revenues***

Dx offers a comprehensive menu of frequently requested and specialty diagnostic tests through an integrated network of primary and specialty laboratories across the U.S. In addition to diagnostic testing along with occupational and wellness testing for employers and forensic deoxyribonucleic acid analysis, Dx also offered a range of other testing services.

Within the Dx segment, a majority of the revenue transactions are initiated when Dx receives a requisition form to perform a diagnostic test. The information provided on the requisition form is used to determine the party that will be billed for the testing performed and the expected reimbursement. Dx recognizes revenue and satisfies its performance obligation for services rendered when the testing process is complete and the associated results are reported. The Dx segment also enters into agreements that have monthly and non-testing-based fees which are recognized each month as the services are provided.

Revenues are distributed among four payer portfolios: clients, patients, Medicare and Medicaid, and third party. Dx considers negotiated discounts and anticipated adjustments, including historical collection experience for the payer portfolio, when revenues are recorded. Dx has a formal process to estimate implicit price concessions for uncollectable accounts. The majority of Dx's collection risk is related to accounts receivable from both insured and uninsured patients who are unwilling or unable to pay. Anticipated write-offs are recorded as adjustments to revenue at an amount considered necessary to record the segment's revenue at its net realizable value. In addition to contractual discounts, other adjustments, including anticipated payer denials and other external factors that could affect the collectability of its receivables, are considered when determining revenue and the net receivable amount. Any remaining adjustments to revenue are recorded at the time of final collection and settlement. These adjustments are not material to Dx's results of operations in any period presented.

The following are descriptions of the Dx payer portfolios:

*Clients*

Client payers represent the portion of Dx's revenue related to physicians, hospitals, health systems, ACOs, employers, and other entities where payment is received exclusively from the entity ordering the testing service. Generally, client sales are recorded on a fee-for-service basis at Dx's client list price, less any negotiated discount. A portion of client billing is for laboratory management services, collection kits and other non-testing offerings. In these cases, revenue is recognized when services are rendered or delivered.

**LABCORP HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Dollars and Shares in Millions, Except Per Share Data)**

*Patients*

This portfolio includes revenue from uninsured patients and member cost-share for insured patients (e.g., coinsurance, deductibles, and non-covered services). Uninsured patients are billed based upon Dx's patient list fee schedules, net of any discounts negotiated with physicians on behalf of their patients. Dx bills insured patients as directed by their health plan and after consideration of the fees and terms associated with an established health plan contract.

*Medicare and Medicaid*

This portfolio relates to fee-for-service revenue from traditional Medicare and Medicaid programs. Net revenue from these programs is based on the fee schedule established by the related government authority. In addition to contractual discounts, other adjustments including anticipated payer denials are considered when determining net revenue. Any remaining adjustments to revenue are recorded at the time of final collection and settlement. These adjustments are not material to Dx's results of operations in any period presented.

*Third Party*

Third party includes revenue related to MCOs. The majority of Dx's third-party revenue is reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis. These payers are billed at Dx's established list price and revenue is recorded net of contractual discounts. The majority of Dx's MCO revenues are recorded based upon contractually negotiated fee schedules with sales for non-contracted MCOs recorded based on historical reimbursement experience.

In addition to contractual discounts, other adjustments including anticipated payer denials are considered when determining revenue. Any remaining adjustments to revenue are recorded at the time of final collection and settlement. These adjustments are not material to Dx's results of operations in any period presented.

Third-party reimbursement is also received through capitation agreements with MCOs and IPAs. Under capitated agreements, revenue is recognized based on a negotiated per-member, per-month payment for an agreed upon menu of tests or based upon the proportionate share earned by Dx from a capitation pool. When the agreed upon reimbursement is based solely on an established rate per member, revenue is not impacted by the volume of testing performed. Under a capitation pool arrangement, the aggregate value of an established rate per member is distributed based on the volume and complexity of the procedures performed by laboratories participating in the agreement. Dx recognizes revenue monthly, based upon the established capitation rate or anticipated distribution from a capitated pool.

***BLS Revenues***

BLS revenue is generally recognized over time, as the services are delivered to the customer, based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the services to be provided. The majority of the BLS's contracts contain a single performance obligation, as BLS provides a significant service of integrating all promises in the contract and the promises are highly interdependent and interrelated with one another. For contracts that include multiple performance obligations, BLS allocates the contract value to the goods and services based on a customer price list, if available. If a price list is not available, BLS will estimate the transaction price using either market prices or an "expected cost plus margin" approach. The total contract value is estimated at the beginning of the contract and is equal to the amount expected to be billed to the customer. These contracts generally take the form of fixed-price or fee-for-service arrangements subject to pricing adjustments based on changes in scope.

Fixed-price contracts are typically recognized as revenue over time based on a proportional-performance basis, using either input or output methods that are specific to the service provided. In an output method, revenue is determined by dividing the actual units of output achieved by the total units of output required under the contract and multiplying that percentage by the total contract value. When using an input method, revenue is recognized by dividing the actual costs incurred by the total estimated cost expected to complete the contract and multiplying that percentage by the total contract value. Contract costs principally include direct labor costs, research model costs, and allocated overhead costs. The estimate of total costs expected to complete the contract requires significant judgment, and these estimates are reviewed periodically. Any adjustments to the estimates are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period they become known.

Fee-for-service contracts are typically priced based on transaction volume or time and materials. For volume-based contracts, the contract value is entirely variable, and revenue is recognized as the specific service is completed. For services billed based on time and materials, revenue is recognized using the right to invoice practical expedient.

**(Dollars and Shares in Millions, Except Per Share Data)**

Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Generally, when contract modifications create new performance obligations, the modification is considered to be a separate contract and revenue is recognized prospectively. When contract modifications change existing performance obligations, the impact on the existing transaction price and measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates is generally recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.

Most contracts are terminable with or without cause by the customer, either immediately or upon notice. These contracts often require payment to BLS of expenses, fees earned to date, and, in some cases, a termination fee or a payment to BLS of some portion of the fees or profits that could have been earned by BLS under the contract if it had not been terminated early. Termination fees are included in revenues when services have been performed and realization is assured.

BLS incurs sales commissions in the process of obtaining contracts with customers, which are recoverable through the service fees in the contract. Sales commissions that are payable upon contract award are recognized as assets and amortized over the expected contract term, along with related payroll tax expense. The amortization of commission expense is based on the weighted-average contract duration for all commissionable awards in the respective business in which the commission expense is paid, which approximates the period over which goods and services are transferred to the customer. The amortization period of sales commissions ranges from approximately 1 to 5 years, depending on the business. For businesses that enter into primarily short-term contracts, BLS applies the practical expedient, which allows costs to obtain a contract to be expensed when incurred if the amortization period of the assets that would otherwise have been recognized is one year or less. Amortization of assets from sales commissions is included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**Accounts Receivable, Unbilled Services, and Unearned Revenue**

Differences in the timing of revenue recognition and associated billing and cash collections result in recording accounts receivable, unbilled services, and unearned revenue in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Payments received in advance of services being provided are contract liabilities recognized as unearned revenue. Revenue recognized in advance of billing are recognized as unbilled services and the majority of BLS's unbilled services represent unbilled receivables. Once a customer is invoiced, the contract asset is reduced for the amount billed, and a corresponding accounts receivable is recognized. All contract assets are billable to customers within one year from the respective balance sheet date.

The following table provides information about accounts receivable, unbilled services, and unearned revenue from contracts with customers:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **December 31,** | **December 31,** |

**Credit Facilities**

The Company maintains a senior revolving credit facility, which was amended and restated on June 27, 2025. It consists of a five-year revolving facility in the principal amount of up to $1,000.0, with the option of increasing the facility by up to an additional $500.0, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining additional commitments from new or existing lenders. The revolving credit facility also provides for a subfacility of up to $100.0 for swing line borrowings and a subfacility of up to $150.0 for issuances of letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a floating rate equal to either (i) a SOFR-based rate plus a margin ranging from 0.805% to 1.300% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.300%, in each case depending on the Company's long-term debt ratings. The Company is required to pay a facility fee quarterly on the aggregate amount of commitments under the revolving credit facility, at a per annum rate ranging from 0.070% to 0.200%, depending on the Company's long term debt ratings, regardless of usage. The revolving credit facility is permitted to be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, funding of share repurchases and certain other payments, acquisitions, and other investments. There were no balances outstanding on the Company's current revolving credit facility and $110.2 in outstanding letters of credit on the Company's subfacility at December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2025, the effective interest rate on the revolving credit facility was 4.73%. The revolving credit facility expires in June 2030.

Under the Company's revolving credit facility, the Company is subject to negative covenants limiting subsidiary indebtedness and certain other covenants typical for investment grade-rated borrowers and the Company is required to maintain certain leverage ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in its term loans, the revolving credit facility, and AR Facility at December 31, 2025, and expects that it will remain in compliance with its existing debt covenants for the next 12 months.

On August 23, 2024, the Company and a bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle (SPV) entered into a $300.0 three-year accounts receivable securitization facility with PNC Bank, National Association (PNC) as administrative agent (AR Facility). The AR Facility provides for purchases of accounts receivable by PNC in an amount of up to $300.0 through August of 2027, and may increase up to $700.0, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The SPV is a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The SPV's sole business consists of the continuous purchase of receivables from the Company which is used as collateral for the loan. Although the SPV is included in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, it is a separate legal entity with separate creditors.

Upon the transfer of ownership and control of the receivables to the SPV, the Company has no retained interests in the receivables sold and they become unavailable to the Company's creditors should the relevant seller become insolvent. The Company has collection and administrative responsibilities for the receivables sold to the SPV.

On January 31, 2025, the Company amended its AR Facility (AR Facility Amendment). The AR Facility Amendment increased the amount the Company can borrow from PNC from $300.0 to $700.0 through August of 2027. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the AR Facility Amendment (i) the Toronto-Dominion Bank became a party to the underlying receivables purchase agreement as a committed purchaser through January 2026 and (ii) MUFG Bank Ltd. and certain of its related conduit purchasers became parties to the underlying receivables purchase agreement as purchasers and the loans or investments of such conduit purchasers may accrue interest as specified in the AR Facility Amendment and receivables purchase agreement.

Net proceeds from the offering were $1,983.0 after deducting underwriting discounts and other estimated expenses of the offering. The net proceeds were used to redeem or repay indebtedness and, to the extent not used for such purpose, for other general corporate purposes. Indebtedness redeemed or repaid at or prior to maturity were the Company's 2.30% senior notes due December 2024, its 3.60% senior notes due February 2025, and $500.0 of borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The Company has U.S. federal tax loss carryforwards of approximately $88.6, which expire periodically through 2037, as well as post-2017 carryforwards of $148.7, which have indefinite carryforwards. The Company has U.S. state tax loss carryforwards of $660.7, a portion of which expire annually. In addition to federal and state net operating losses, the Company has a federal capital loss carryforward of $12.0, which expires in 2030. Credit carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes are $45.2, the majority of which have indefinite carryforwards. The Company has foreign tax loss carryforwards of $112.4, the majority of which have indefinite carryforwards, as well as foreign tax loss carryforwards of $444.9, which expire periodically through 2041. In addition to the foreign net operating losses, the Company has foreign capital loss carryforwards of $30.5, which have indefinite carryforwards. Deferred tax assets associated with loss and credit carryforwards of $271.6 have been reduced by valuation allowances of $128.1.

The valuation allowance increased from $127.2 in 2024 to $128.1 in 2025 primarily due to the establishment of valuation allowances on certain federal and foreign capital losses which were partially offset by decreases in valuation allowances on certain state and foreign net operating losses.

Unrecognized income tax benefits were $24.5 and $32.2 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits in Provision for income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions totaled $0.0 and $0.2 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized $0.0, $0.1 and $0.0, respectively, in interest and penalties expense, which was offset by a benefit from reversing previous accruals for interest and penalties of $0.2, $0.0 and $1.8, respectively.

At December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, there are $24.5, $32.2 and $29.9, respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective income tax rate.

The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2018 and is currently under Internal Revenue Service examination for tax years 2019 through 2022. Substantially all material state and local and foreign income tax matters have been concluded through 2017 and 2019, respectively. The Company has various state and foreign income tax examinations ongoing throughout the year. The Company believes adequate provisions have been recorded related to all open tax years.

Pillar Two legislation arising from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's base erosion and profit shifting initiative has been enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The legislation was effective for the Company's financial year beginning January 1, 2024. The Company is in scope of the enacted or substantively enacted legislation and has performed an assessment of the Company's potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. The assessment of the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes is based on the most recent tax filings, country-by-country reporting, and financial statements for the constituent entities in the Company. Based on the assessment, the Pillar Two effective tax rates in most of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates are above 15%. We expect to qualify for the transitional safe harbor relief in all significant jurisdictions and have not provisioned for any incremental income tax expense attributable to Pillar Two.

**14. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS**

**Stock Incentive Plans**

In May 2025, the shareholders approved the Labcorp Holdings Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the 2025 Plan). Under the 2025 Plan, at December 31, 2025, there were 3.1 shares authorized for future issuance and 3.0 shares available for future grant. With the adoption of the 2025 Plan, there are no shares authorized for future issuance or future grant under the previous Labcorp Holdings Inc. Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

***Stock Options***

The following table summarizes grants of non-qualified options made by the Company to officers, key employees, and non-employee directors under all plans. Stock options are typically granted at an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market price per share on the date of grant, vest ratably over a period of three years on the anniversaries of the grant date, and have a contractual exercise period of 10 years subject to their earlier expiration or termination.

Changes in options outstanding were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Number of<br>Options | Weighted-Average<br>Exercise Price<br>per Option | Weighted-Average<br>Remaining<br>Contractual Term<br>(in Years) | Aggregate<br>Intrinsic<br>Value |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 0.6 | $180.29 |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Granted | 0.1 | $245.14 |  |  |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2025 | 0.7 | $187.16 | 4.9 | $43.7 |
| Exercisable at December 31, 2025 | 0.5 | $174.47 | 3.9 | $41.1 |

Cash received by the Company from option exercises, the actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |

| Tax benefits realized | $0.6 | $1.6 | $0.7 |
| Aggregate intrinsic value | $1.4 | $1.6 | $0.7 |

The following table shows the weighted-average grant-date fair values of options issued during the respective year and the weighted-average assumptions that the Company used to develop the fair value estimates:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Fair value per option | $83.22 | $73.08 | $72.27 |
| Weighted-average expected life (in years) | 6.0 | 6.0 | 6.0 |
| Risk free interest rate | 4.4% | 4.1% | 3.4% |
| Expected volatility | 29.7% | 30.0% | 29.8% |
| Expected dividend yield | 1.2% | 1.3% | 1.4% |

---

The Black-Scholes model incorporates assumptions to value stock-based awards. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on a zero-coupon U.S. government instrument over the contractual term of the equity instrument. Expected volatility of the Company's stock is based on historical volatility of the Company's stock. The Company estimates expected option terms through an analysis of actual, historical post-vesting exercise, cancellation and expiration behavior by employees and projected post-vesting activity of outstanding options. Groups of employees and non-employee directors that have similar exercise behavior with regard to option exercise timing and forfeiture rates are considered separately for valuation purposes. For 2025, 2024, and 2023, expense related to the Company's stock option plan totaled $5.9, $5.2, and $3.8, respectively.

***Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Shares***

The Company grants restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance shares (non-vested shares) to officers and key employees and grants restricted stock and restricted stock units to non-employee directors. Restricted stock and units typically vest annually in equal one-third increments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant. A performance share grant in 2023 represents a three-year award opportunity for the period 2023-2025, and if earned, vests fully (to the extent earned) in the first quarter of 2026. A performance share grant in 2024, represents a three-year award opportunity for the period of 2024-2026 and, if earned, vests fully (to the extent earned) in the first quarter of 2027. A performance share grant in 2025, represents a three-year award opportunity for the period of 2025-2027 and, if earned, vests fully (to the extent earned) in the first quarter of 2028. Performance share awards are subject to certain earnings per share, revenue, and total shareholder return targets, the achievement of which may increase or decrease the number of shares which the grantee earns and therefore receives upon vesting. Unearned restricted stock and performance share compensation is amortized to expense, when probable, over the applicable vesting periods. For 2025, 2024, and 2023, total restricted stock, restricted stock unit, and performance share compensation expense was $104.8, $96.6, and $111.1, respectively.

The following table shows a summary of non-vested shares for the year ended December 31, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | Number of<br>Shares | Weighted-Average<br>Grant Date Fair Value |
| Beginning balance | 0.9 | $226.44 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Granted | 0.5 | $251.06 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vested | (0.4) | $226.54 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Canceled | (0.1) | $235.13 |
| Ending balance | 0.9 | $237.94 |

**Unrecognized Compensation Cost**

At December 31, 2025, there was $106.2 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, and performance share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Company's

stock incentive plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years and will be included in Cost of revenues and Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

**Employee Stock Purchase Plan**

In May 2025, the shareholders approved the Labcorp Holdings Inc. 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP Plan), which replaced the 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Under the ESPP Plan, the Company is authorized to issue 2.5 shares of Common Stock. The ESPP Plan permits substantially all U.S., Canada, and U.K. employees to purchase a limited number of shares of Company stock at 85% of market value. The Company issues Common Stock to participating employees semi-annually in January and July of each year. Approximately 0.3 shares were purchased by eligible employees in 2025, 2024, and 2023. For 2025, 2024, and 2023, expense related to the Company's employee stock purchase plans were $15.1, $14.9, and $13.8, respectively.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of the employee's purchase right. The fair value of the employee's purchase right and the assumptions used in its calculation are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Fair value of the employee's purchase right | $49.33 | $47.56 | $49.19 |
| Valuation assumptions: |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Risk free interest rate | 4.3% | 5.0% | 5.0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Expected volatility | 22.8% | 27.9% | 30.0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Expected dividend yield | 1.2% | 1.3% | 1.4% |

**15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

**Commitments**

The Company has a noncancelable contract with a vendor to purchase inventory supplies pursuant to which the Company is obligated to make expected total future minimum payments of $129.2, including $34.7 in 2026, $20.5 in 2027, and $74.0 in 2028.

**Legal Contingencies**

The Company is involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions, and other litigation (including those described in more detail below), arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these actions involve claims that are substantial in amount. These matters include, but are not limited to, intellectual property disputes, commercial and contract disputes, professional liability claims, employee-related matters, transaction-related disputes, securities and corporate law matters, and inquiries, including subpoenas and other civil investigative demands, from governmental agencies, Medicare or Medicaid payers, and MCOs reviewing billing practices or requesting comment on allegations of billing irregularities that are brought to their attention through billing audits or third parties. The Company receives civil investigative demands or other inquiries from various governmental bodies in the ordinary course of its business. Such inquiries can relate to the Company or other parties, including physicians and other health care providers. The Company works cooperatively to respond to appropriate requests for information.

The Company also is named from time to time in suits brought under the *qui tam* provisions of the False Claims Act and comparable state laws. These suits typically allege that the Company has made false statements and/or certifications in connection with claims for payment from U.S. federal or state healthcare programs. The suits may remain under seal (hence, unknown to the Company) for some time while the government decides whether to intervene on behalf of the *qui tam* plaintiff. Such claims are an inevitable part of doing business in the healthcare field today.

The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all statutes, regulations, and other requirements applicable to its commercial laboratory operations and drug development support services. The healthcare diagnostics and drug development industries are, however, subject to extensive regulation, and the courts have not interpreted many of the applicable statutes and regulations. Therefore, the applicable statutes and regulations could be interpreted or applied by a prosecutorial, regulatory, or judicial authority in a manner that would adversely affect the Company. Potential sanctions for violation of these statutes and regulations include significant civil and criminal penalties, fines, the loss of various licenses, certificates and authorizations, additional liabilities from third-party claims, and/or exclusion from participation in government programs.

Many of the current claims and legal actions against the Company are in preliminary stages, and many of these cases seek an indeterminate amount of damages. The Company records an aggregate legal reserve, which is determined using calculations

based on historical loss rates and assessment of trends experienced in settlements and defense costs. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450 "Contingencies," the Company establishes reserves for judicial, regulatory, and arbitration matters outside the aggregate legal reserve if and when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable and would exceed the aggregate legal reserve. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and may be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. When loss contingencies are not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not establish separate reserves.

The Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss for the proceedings described in more detail below in which damages either have not been specified or, in the Company's judgment, are unsupported and/or exaggerated and (i) the proceedings are in early stages, (ii) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, (iii) there are significant factual issues to be resolved, and/or (iv) there are novel legal issues to be presented. For these proceedings, however, the Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the adverse outcomes are probable and reasonably estimable, and it does not believe they will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.

The Company has received various subpoenas and other civil investigative demands related to Medicaid billing. In October 2013, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand from the State of Texas Office of the Attorney General requesting documents related to its billing to Texas Medicaid. The Company cooperated with this request. On October 5, 2018, the Company received a second Civil Investigative Demand from the State of Texas Office of the Attorney General requesting documents related to its billing to Texas Medicaid. The Company cooperated with this request. On January 26, 2021, the Company was notified that a *qui tam* Petition was pending under seal in the District Court, 250th Judicial District, Travis County, Texas, and that the State of Texas had intervened. On April 14, 2021, the Petition was unsealed. The Petition alleges that the Company submitted claims for reimbursement to Texas Medicaid that were higher than permitted under Texas Medicaid's alleged "best price" regulations, and that the Company offered remuneration to Texas healthcare providers in the form of discounted pricing for certain laboratory testing services in exchange for the providers' referral of Texas Medicaid business to the Company. The Petition seeks actual and double damages and civil penalties, as well as recovery of costs, attorney's fees, and legal expenses. On August 1, 2022, the District Court entered an order granting the Company's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment with respect to the claim that the Company submitted claims for reimbursement to Texas Medicaid that were higher than permitted under Texas Medicaid's alleged "best price" regulations. Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Non-Suit and Motion for Entry of Final Judgment and, on November 11, 2022, the court entered a Judgment. Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal with respect to the court's order granting the Company's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, referenced above. On December 31, 2024, the Texas Court of Appeals issued a decision reversing the District Court's order granting the Company's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. On February 28, 2025, the Company filed in the Texas Supreme Court a Petition for Review with respect to the Texas Court of Appeals decision. On January 16, 2026, the Texas Supreme Court granted the Petition for Review. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit.

On May 14, 2019, Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau, Inc. d/b/a AMCA, an external collection agency, notified the Company about a security incident AMCA experienced that may have involved certain personal information about some of the Company's patients (the AMCA Incident). The Company referred patient balances to AMCA only when direct collection efforts were unsuccessful. The Company's systems were not impacted by the AMCA Incident. Upon learning of the AMCA Incident, the Company promptly stopped sending new collection requests to AMCA and stopped AMCA from continuing to work on any pending collection requests from the Company. AMCA informed the Company that it appeared that an unauthorized user had access to AMCA's system between August 1, 2018, and March 30, 2019, and that AMCA could not rule out the possibility that personal information on AMCA's system was at risk during that time period. Information on AMCA's affected system from the Company may have included name, address, and balance information for the patient and person responsible for payment, along with the patient's phone number, date of birth, referring physician, and date of service. The Company was later informed by AMCA that health insurance information may have been included for some individuals, and because some insurance carriers utilize the Social Security Number as a subscriber identification number, the Social Security Number for some individuals may also have been affected. No ordered tests, laboratory test results, or diagnostic information from the Company were in the AMCA affected system. The Company notified individuals for whom it had a valid mailing address. For the individuals whose Social Security Number was affected, the notice included an offer to enroll in credit monitoring and identity protection services that was provided free of charge for 24 months.

Twenty-three putative class action lawsuits were filed against the Company related to the AMCA Incident in various U.S. District Courts. Numerous similar lawsuits have been filed against other healthcare providers who used AMCA. These lawsuits were consolidated into a multidistrict litigation in the District of New Jersey. On November 15, 2019, the Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Class Action Complaint in the U.S. District Court of New Jersey. The consolidated Complaint generally alleged

that the Company did not adequately protect its patients' data and failed to timely notify those patients of the AMCA Incident. The Complaint asserted various causes of action, including but not limited to negligence, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, and the violation of state data protection statutes. The Complaint sought damages on behalf of a class of all affected Company customers. On January 22, 2020, the Company filed Motions to Dismiss all claims. On December 16, 2021, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company's Motion to Dismiss. On March 31, 2022, the Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint alleging claims for negligence, negligence per se, breach of confidence, invasion of privacy, and various state statutory claims, including a claim under the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss certain claims of the Amended Complaint. On May 5, 2023, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company's Motion to Dismiss. On November 1, 2024, Plaintiffs served their motion for class certification. On November 25, 2025, the parties reached a term sheet and are in the process of drafting a formal settlement agreement, which will be subject to court approval.

The Company was served with a shareholder derivative lawsuit, *Raymond Eugenio, Derivatively on Behalf of Nominal Defendant, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings v. Lance Berberian, et al.*, filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on April 23, 2020. The complaint asserts derivative claims on the Company's behalf against the Company's board of directors and certain executive officers. The complaint generally alleges that the defendants failed to ensure that the Company utilized proper cybersecurity safeguards and failed to implement a sufficient response to data security incidents, including the AMCA Incident. The complaint asserts derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty and seeks relief including damages, certain disclosures, and certain changes to the Company's internal governance practices. On June 2, 2020, the Company filed a Motion to Stay the lawsuit due to its overlap with the multi-district litigation referenced above. On July 2, 2020, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss. On July 14, 2020, the court entered an order staying the lawsuit pending the resolution of the multi-district litigation. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Certain governmental entities have requested information from the Company related to the AMCA Incident. The Company received a request for information from the OCR of the Department of Health and Human Services. On April 28, 2020, OCR notified the Company of the closure of its inquiry. The Company has also received requests from a multi-state group of state Attorneys General and is cooperating with these requests for information.

On January 31, 2020, the Company was served with a putative class action lawsuit, *Luke Davis and Julian Vargas, et al. v. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings*, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The lawsuit alleges that visually impaired patients are unable to use the Company's touchscreen kiosks at Company PSCs in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and similar California statutes. The lawsuit seeks statutory damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees and costs. On March 20, 2020, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Complaint and to Strike Class Allegations. In August 2020, the Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint. On April 26, 2021, the Plaintiffs and the Company each filed Motions for Summary Judgment and the Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Class Certification. On May 23, 2022, the court entered an order granting Plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification. On June 6, 2022, the Company filed a Petition for Permission to Appeal the Order Granting Class Certification with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On September 22, 2022, the Ninth Circuit granted the Company's Petition for Permission to Appeal the Order Granting Class Certification. On February 8, 2024, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the trial court's decision to certify both a California damages class and a nationwide injunctive class. On March 25, 2024, the Company filed a Petition for Rehearing En Banc with the Ninth Circuit. On April 18, 2024, the Ninth Circuit denied the Petition for Rehearing En Banc. On September 13, 2024, the Company filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, which was granted on January 24, 2025, and then dismissed on June 5, 2025. The Company will vigorously defend the lawsuit.

On October 16, 2020, Ravgen Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit, *Ravgen Inc. v. Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings*, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, alleging infringement of two Ravgen-owned U.S. patents. The lawsuit sought monetary damages, enhancement of those damages for willfulness, and recovery of attorney's fees and costs. On September 28, 2022, a jury rendered a verdict in favor of the Plaintiff on the sole asserted patent finding that the Company willfully infringed Ravgen's patent, and awarded damages of $272.0. Plaintiff filed post-trial motions seeking enhanced damages of up to $817.0 based on the finding of willfulness, as well as attorney's fees and costs. On May 12, 2023, the court issued an order granting Plaintiff's motion in part and awarding enhanced damages of $100.0. On January 23, 2025, the court issued an order awarding Plaintiff post-verdict supplemental damages of $2.6, an ongoing royalty of one hundred dollars and 00/100 cents per test through the life of the patent at issue, pre- and post-judgment interest, and other relief. In January and February 2025, the trial court entered orders denying the Company's post-trial motions and the Company has filed an appeal. On March 18, 2025, the Company filed an appeal bond with the Court to stay enforcement of the judgment pending appeal. The Company strongly disagrees with the verdict, based on a number of legal factors, and will vigorously defend the lawsuit through the appeal process.

On June 27, 2022, the Company was served with a Subpoena Duces Tecum issued by the DOJ in Boston, Massachusetts requiring the production of documents related to urine drug testing. The Company is cooperating with the DOJ.

There are various other pending legal proceedings involving the Company including, but not limited to, additional employment-related lawsuits, professional liability lawsuits, and commercial lawsuits. While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, in the opinion of the Company, the likelihood of loss is remote and any reasonably possible loss associated with the resolution of such proceedings is not expected to be material to the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, either individually or in the aggregate.

Under the Company's present insurance programs, coverage is obtained for catastrophic exposure as well as those risks required to be insured by law or contract. The Company is responsible for the uninsured portion of losses related primarily to general, professional and vehicle liability, certain medical costs and workers' compensation. The self-insured retentions are on a per-occurrence basis without any aggregate annual limit. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based upon the Company's estimates of the aggregated liability of claims incurred.

**16. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS**

**Defined Contribution Retirement Plans**

The Company has various U.S. defined contribution retirement plans (401K Plans). Under these 401K Plans, employees can contribute a portion of their salary to the plan and the Company makes minimum non-elective contributions, discretionary contributions, and matching contributions, depending on the terms of the specific plan. On January 1, 2021, all of the 401K Plans were modified to provide for 100% match of employee contributions up to 5% of their salary. Total expense relating to the 401K Plans for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $166.1, $153.5, and $167.6, respectively.

**Defined Benefit Pension Plans**

The Company sponsors both funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans which provide benefits based on various criteria such as years of service and salary. The Company maintained two plans in the U.S., two plans in the U.K., and one in Germany.

The two plans in the U.S. (U.S. Plans) were closed to new entrants and the accrual of service credits at the end of 2009. The U.K. pension plan was closed to new entrants and the accrual of service credits for one plan as of December 31, 2002, and the accrual of service credits for the other plan as of December 31, 2019. The German plan was closed to new entrants on December 31, 2009, but participants continue to accrue service credits. The U.K. and German plans are aggregated for disclosure as the Non-U.S. Plans.

***Assumptions***

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit costs are as follows:

---

| | | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **U. S. Plans** | **U. S. Plans** | **U. S. Plans** | **Non-U.S. Plans** | **Non-U.S. Plans** | **Non-U.S. Plans** |
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| Discount rate | 5.6% | 5.1% | 5.5% | 4.5% | 3.7% | 4.0% |
| Salary increases | N/A | N/A | N/A | 2.0% | 2.0% | 2.0% |
| Expected long term rate of return | 6.0% | 6.0% | 6.0% | 5.7% | 4.1% | 5.3% |
| Cash balance interest credit rate | 4.0% | 4.0% | 4.0% | N/A | N/A | N/A |

---

A one percentage point decrease or increase in the discount rate would have resulted in a respective increase or decrease in 2025 retirement plan expense of $0.3 for the U.S. Plans. A one percentage point decrease or increase in the discount rate would have resulted in a respective increase or decrease in 2025 retirement plan expense of $0.6 for the Non-U.S. Plans.

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit obligations are as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **U.S. Plans** | **U.S. Plans** | **Non-U.S. Plans** | **Non-U.S. Plans** |
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Discount rate | 5.2% | 5.6% | 5.3% | 5.2% |
| Salary increases | N/A | N/A | 2.0% | 2.0% |

---

The discount rate is determined using the weighted-average yields on high-quality fixed income securities that have maturities consistent with the timing of benefit payments. Lower discount rates increase the size of the benefit obligation and generally increase pension expense in the following year; higher discount rates reduce the size of the benefit obligation and generally reduce subsequent-year pension expense.

The expected return on plan assets is the estimated long-term rate of return that will be earned on the investments used to fund the pension obligations. To determine this rate, the Company considers the composition of plan investments, historical returns earned, and expectations about the future. Actual asset over/under performance compared to expected returns will respectively decrease/increase unrecognized loss. The change in the unrecognized loss will change amortization cost in upcoming periods. A one percentage point increase or decrease in the expected return on plan assets would have resulted in a corresponding change in 2025 pension expense of $1.8 for the U.S. Plans. A one percentage point increase or decrease in the expected return on plan assets would have resulted in a corresponding change in 2025 pension expense of $3.1 for the Non-U.S. Plans.

The salary increase assumptions are used to estimate the annual rate at which pay of plan participants will grow. If the rate of growth assumed increases, the size of the pension obligations will increase, as will the amount recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized into earnings in subsequent periods.

The Company evaluates other assumptions periodically, such as retirement age, mortality, and turnover, and updates them as necessary to reflect the Company's actual experience and expectations for the future. Differences between actual results and assumptions utilized are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income each period. These differences are amortized

primary strategic investment objectives are balancing investment risk and return and monitoring the plan's liquidity position in order to meet the near-term benefit payment and other cash needs. Target allocation percentages are established at an asset class level by plan fiduciaries. Target allocation ranges are guidelines, not limitations, and occasionally plan fiduciaries will approve allocations above or below a target range.

The allocation of the plan assets by asset category is as follows:

***Pension Funding and Cash Flows***

The Company expects to make approximately $8.4 required contributions to its defined benefit pension plans during 2026. The Company targets funding the minimum required contributions but may make additional contributions into the pension plans in 2026, depending upon factors such as how the funded status of those plans change or to reduce the administrative costs of the plan.

At December 31, 2025, the estimated benefit payments, which were used in the calculation of projected benefit obligations, are expected to be paid as follows:

---

**Post-retirement Medical Plan**

The Company assumed obligations under a subsidiary's post-retirement medical plan. Coverage under this plan is restricted to a limited number of existing employees of the subsidiary. This plan is unfunded and the Company's policy is to fund benefits as claims are incurred. The effect on operations of the post-retirement medical plan is shown in the following table:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |

| Net amortization and deferral | (0.3) | (0.2) |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Post-retirement medical plan (benefits) costs | $(0.1) | $— | $0.2 |

---

For the year ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, amounts included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of unamortized net income of $0.5 and $0.8, respectively.

A summary of the changes in the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Year Ended December 31,** | **Year Ended December 31,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Interest cost on benefit obligation | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Actuarial loss (gain) | 0.1 | (0.2) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Benefits paid | (0.6) | (0.4) |
| Ending balance | $2.9 | $3.2 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accrued expenses and other | $0.4 | $0.5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other liabilities | 2.5 | 2.7 |
|  | $2.9 | $3.2 |

---

The weighted-average discount rates used in the calculation of the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation were 5.4% and 5.6% at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The healthcare cost trend rate was removed due to the expectation of future funding to be at the same level as the previous year's funding.

The following assumed benefit payments under the Company's post-retirement benefit plan, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, and which were used in the calculation of projected benefit obligations, are expected to be paid as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| | **December 31, 2025** |
| 2026 | $0.4 |
| 2027 | $0.3 |
| 2028 | $0.3 |
| 2029 | $0.3 |
| 2030 | $0.2 |
| Years 2031 to 2035 | $1.0 |

**Deferred Compensation Plan**

The Company has a DCP under which certain of its executives may elect to defer up to 100.0% of their annual cash incentive pay and/or up to 50.0% of their annual base salary and/or eligible commissions subject to annual limits established by the U.S. government. The DCP provides executives a tax efficient strategy for retirement savings and capital accumulation without significant cost to the Company. The Company makes no contributions to the DCP. Amounts deferred by a participant are credited to a bookkeeping account maintained on behalf of each participant, which is used for measurement and determination of amounts to be paid to a participant, or his or her designated beneficiary, pursuant to the terms of the DCP. The amounts accrued under these plans were $150.5 and $132.5 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Deferred amounts are the Company's general unsecured obligations and are subject to claims by the Company's creditors. The Company's general assets may be used to fund obligations and pay DCP benefits.

The Company has a noncontrolling interest put option related to its Ontario subsidiary that has been classified as mezzanine equity in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The noncontrolling interest put is valued at its contractually determined value, which approximates fair value.

The fair values of derivative financial instruments have been determined based on market value equivalents at the balance sheet date, taking into account the current interest rate environment and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company offers certain employees the opportunity to participate in an employee funded DCP. A participant's deferrals are allocated by the participant to one or more of multiple measurement funds, which are indexed to externally managed funds. From time to time, to offset the cost of the growth in the participant's investment accounts, the Company purchases life insurance policies, with the Company named as beneficiary of the policies. Changes in the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies are based upon earnings and changes in the value of the underlying investments, which are typically invested in a similar manner to the participant's allocations. Changes in the fair value of the DCP obligation are derived using quoted prices in active markets based on the market price per unit multiplied by the number of units. The cash surrender value and the DCP obligations are classified within Level 2 because their inputs are derived principally from observable market data by correlation to the hypothetical investments.

The Company measured the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities as Level 3 instruments. These contingent consideration liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and are remeasured quarterly based on the then

assessed fair value and adjusted if necessary. The increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration payable can result from changes in anticipated revenue levels and changes in assumed discount periods and rates. As the fair value measure is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, they are categorized as Level 3.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. Although recorded at amortized cost on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, the fair market value of the Company's senior notes was $4,963.6 and $5,762.6 at December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively. The Company's senior notes are considered Level 2 instruments, as the fair market values of these instruments are based on observable market pricing.

**18. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES**

**Interest Rate Swaps**

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company entered into fixed-to-variable interest rate swap agreements for its 2.70% senior notes due 2031 with an aggregate notional amount of $500.0 and variable interest rates currently based on the three-month SOFR, plus 1.7060%. These agreements were designated as hedges against changes in the fair value of a portion of the Company's long-term debt.

**Cross Currency Swaps**

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company terminated its 2024 and 2025 USD to Swiss Franc cross currency swaps and entered into two new swaps, each with a notional value of $300.0, and maturity dates of 2031 and 2034, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into five new USD to Swiss Franc cross currency swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $600.0, of which $300.0 matures in 2029 and $300.0 matures in 2034.

**20. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION**

The following table is a summary of segment information for the year ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. The "management approach" has been used to present the following segment information. This approach is based upon the way the management of the Company organizes segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Financial information is reported on the basis that it is used internally by the CODM for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. The Company's chief executive officer has been identified as the CODM.

The Company's CODM uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. This segment performance measure excludes the amortization of intangibles and other assets, restructuring and other charges, goodwill and other asset impairments, and certain corporate charges for items such as transaction costs, and other special items. Other operating expenses are comprised primarily of rent, maintenance, sendout testing, utilities, travel and entertainment, and other segment expenses, including shipping costs for Dx. Segment asset information is not presented because it is not used by the CODM.

**BUSINESS PRACTICES MANUAL**

Insider trading policy

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Policy Number** | BPM-16 |
| **Title** | Insider Trading Policy |
| **Implementation Date** | June 2001 |
| **Updated** | June 2018, January 2019, November 2021, March 2023, December 2025 |

---

**Statement of Policy**

This Insider Trading Policy ("Policy") shall apply to any and all transactions in the Company's securities, including purchases, sales, and other dispositions, by directors, officers, employees (each a "Covered Person" and collectively "Covered Persons") of Labcorp Holdings Inc. ("Labcorp" or the "Company"), and the Company itself.

**Purpose**

The Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") all make it illegal for an individual or the Company itself to buy or sell securities while in the possession of "inside information" (i.e., material, nonpublic information (as further described below)). The SEC takes insider trading very seriously and devotes significant resources to uncovering the activity and to prosecuting offenders. Liability extends not only to individuals who trade on "inside information," but also to their "tippers," to a company for transactions by its personnel and even possibly to other "controlling persons" for violations by company personnel.

In addition to responding to the statutes and regulations, the Company is adopting this Policy to avoid even the appearance of improper conduct on the part of anyone employed by or associated with the Company (not just so-called insiders) or by the Company itself. Labcorp has a longstanding reputation for integrity and ethical conduct, and compliance with this Policy and the SEC regulations is key to maintaining integrity at Labcorp.

This Policy has been developed:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.to educate the Company's personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.to set forth guidelines for courses of action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.to protect the Company and each of its personnel against legal liability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.to preserve the reputation of the Company and its personnel for integrity and ethical conduct.

------

**BPM–16 INSIDER TRADING POLICY**

**Procedure**

If a Covered Person has material, nonpublic information relating to the Company, it is Labcorp's policy that neither that Covered Person nor any Family Member of that Covered Person may buy or sell securities of the Company or engage in any other action to take advantage of, or pass on to others, that information. For purposes of this Policy, "Family Member" includes a Covered Person's family members or persons living within the Covered Person's household (including a spouse, a child, a child at college, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings and in-laws), and any family members who do not live in the Covered Person's household, but whose transactions in Company securities are directed by the Covered Person or are subject to the Covered Person's influence or control, such as parents or children who consult with the Covered Person before they trade in Company securities.

This Policy also applies with equal force to information relating to any other company and the securities of those companies, including our customers or suppliers, obtained in the course of employment. No Covered Person nor any Family Member of a Covered Person may use material, nonpublic information that was obtained in the course of the Covered Person's involvement with the Company to buy or sell any securities of any other publicly traded company. No Covered Person nor any Family Member who knows of any such material, nonpublic information may communicate that information to, or tip, any other person, including family members and friends, or otherwise disclose such information without the Company's authorization.

Transactions that may be necessary or justifiable for independent reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure) are no exception to this Policy. Even the appearance of an improper transaction must be avoided to preserve the Company's reputation for adhering to the highest standards of conduct.

**Material Information**

Information is considered material if a reasonable investor would consider that information important in a decision to buy, hold, or sell securities. Any information which could reasonably affect the price of the Company's stock is considered material.

Common examples of information that will frequently be regarded as material are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.financial condition and results of operation of the Company, including quarterly and annual results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.projections of future earnings or losses or any changes to previously announced earnings guidance;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.news of a pending or proposed merger, acquisition or tender offer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.an important financing transaction;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.changes in dividend policies or the declaration of a stock split or the offering of additional securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.changes in management or the board of directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.significant new test offerings or technology partnerships;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.significant new client, insurance or managed care contracts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.the impending gain or loss of any significant technology, managed care or other major agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.a gain or loss of a significant customer or supplier;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.developments regarding significant litigation or a governmental agency investigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.a significant or potentially significant cybersecurity incident;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.impending bankruptcy or financial liquidity problems; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.internal financial information that departs from what the market would expect.

Either positive or negative information may be material. This list is merely illustrative.

**When Information is Public**

Information that has not been disclosed to the public is generally considered to be nonpublic information. In order to establish that the information has been disclosed to the public, it may be necessary to demonstrate that the information has been widely disseminated. Information generally would be considered widely disseminated if it has been disclosed

------

**BPM–16 INSIDER TRADING POLICY**

through a press release, a broadcast on widely-available radio or television programs, publication in a widely-available newspaper, magazine or news website, a Dow Jones "broad tape," newswire services, or public disclosure documents filed with the SEC that are available on the SEC's website (such as Form 8-K, Form 10-Q and Form 10-K). By contrast, information would likely not be considered widely disseminated if it is available only to the Company's employees, or if it is only available to a select group of persons, such as analysts, brokers and institutional investors. In addition, please be aware that disclosure on the Company's website or social media channel, by itself, may not be considered wide dissemination.

As you can appreciate, it is also improper for a Covered Person to enter a trade immediately after the Company has made a public announcement of material information, including earnings releases. Because the Company's shareholders and the investing public should be afforded the time to receive the information and fully absorb it, as a general rule you shall not engage in any transactions until **two full business days after the information has been released**. (Thus, if a material announcement is made on a Monday before the market opens, Wednesday generally would be the first day on which you could trade. If an announcement is made on a Friday before the market opens, Tuesday generally would be the first day.) However, if the information released is complex, such as a prospective major financing or other transaction, it may be determined that additional time should be allowed for the information to be digested by investors. In such circumstances, the Securities Compliance Officer will communicate the additional waiting period. Remember, if you are in possession of material, nonpublic information that was not part of the information released, you may not engage in any transactions.

**Transactions by Family Members and Entities That You Control**

Covered Persons may not disclose material, nonpublic information to Family Members or make recommendations or express opinions to Family Members on the basis of material, nonpublic information with regard to trading securities. You are responsible for the transactions of these other persons and therefore should make them aware of the need to confer with you before they trade in Company Securities, and you should treat all such transactions for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if the transactions were for your own account. This Policy does not, however, apply to personal securities transactions of Family Members where the purchase or sale decision is made by a third party not controlled by, influenced by, or related to you or your Family Members.

This Policy applies to any entities that a Covered Person influences or controls, including any corporations, partnerships or trusts (collectively referred to as "Controlled Entities"), and transactions by these Controlled Entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for your own account.

**Transactions Not Subject to the Policy**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.<u>Company-Sponsored Plans.</u>** Certain transactions under Company-sponsored plans, such as exercises of stock options, vesting of previously granted awards, and withholding of shares by the Company to satisfy option exercise price or tax liability, are not transactions that are subject to this Policy. Similarly, automatic purchases of Company securities in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan that are the result of periodic contributions pursuant to payroll deduction elections are not transactions that are subject to this Policy. However, any sale of stock received pursuant to an exercise of a stock option, vesting of a previously granted award, or through the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, is subject to the restrictions in this Policy. There are other transactions under these types of plans that may be subject to this Policy, including elections to participate, changing the level of participation and moving in or out of the Company stock fund. Accordingly, please contact Labcorp's Securities Compliance Officer if you have any doubt as to whether a planned transaction implicates this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.<u>Gifts.</u>** Gifts to persons or entities not covered by this Policy, including charitable gifts, are not permitted while the Covered Person is aware of material non-public information or while the Covered Person is subject to trading restrictions under this Policy. All Key Persons must pre-clear any gift transactions either with the Securities Compliance Officer, directy (Section 16 Officers) or through the Fidelity NetBenefits app (Non-Section 16 Officer Key Persons). Please also note that a gift donee may be covered by this Policy as described in "Transactions by Family Members and Entities That You Control" above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.<u>Mutual Funds</u>.** Transactions in widely traded mutual and exchange traded funds that are invested in Company securities are not subject to this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.<u>Dividend Reinvestment Plan</u>.** This Policy does not apply to purchases of Company securities under any dividend reinvestment plan maintained by the Company or broker sponsored dividend reinvestment plans (including plans maintained by the Company's equity plan provider), but it does apply to Covered Persons' elections to participate

------

**BPM–16 INSIDER TRADING POLICY**

in such plans or to increase such Covered Person's level of participation in such plans. All Key Persons must clear their participation in such a plan with the Securities Compliance Officer. This Policy also applies to a Covered Person's sale of any Company securities purchased pursuant to such a plan or arrangement, and all Key Persons must pre-clear any such transactions with the Securities Compliance Office.

**Additional Prohibited Transactions**

It is the Company's policy that Covered Persons shall not engage in any of the following activities with respect to securities of the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Trading in securities on a short-term basis. Any Company stock purchased in the open market must be held for a minimum of six months and ideally longer. Note that the SEC' s short-swing profit rule already prevents directors and officers from selling any Company stock within six months of a purchase. This rule is being extended to all Covered Persons under this Policy. However, the rule does not apply to shares purchased under a qualifying plan, i.e., ESPP, stock option exercises, except that directors and officers must always hold stock for a minimum of six months after the date of the option grant unless an exemption applies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Purchases of Company stock on margin.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Any pledge of Company Stock, or holding Company Stock in a marginable account and/or in any account other than a cash account, or pledging Company stock as collateral for a loan.

**Tipping Information to Others**

Whether the information is proprietary information about the Company or information that could have an impact on its stock price, Covered Persons and Family Members must not provide material, nonpublic information to others. "Inside information" is often inadvertently disclosed or overheard in casual, social conversations. Care must be taken to avoid such disclosures. See "Confidentiality" below for more information.

**Prevention of Insider Trading by Others**

If you become aware of a potential insider trading violation, you shall immediately advise the Securities Compliance Officer. You shall also take steps, where appropriate, to prevent persons under your control from using inside information for trading purposes.

**Post-Termination Transactions**

This policy continues to apply even after the termination of employment or other service with the Company. If an individual is in possession of material, nonpublic information when such individual's service terminates, that individual may not trade in the securities of the public company to which such information relates until that information has become public or is no longer material.

**Twenty-Twenty Hindsight**

Remember, if securities transactions become the subject of scrutiny, they will be viewed after-the-fact with the benefit of hindsight. As a result, before engaging in any transaction, carefully consider how regulators and others might view the transaction in hindsight.

**BPM–16 INSIDER TRADING POLICY**

**Confidentiality**

Serious problems could be caused for the Company by unauthorized disclosure of internal information about the Company, whether or not for the purpose of facilitating improper trading in the stock. Company personnel shall not discuss internal Company matters or developments with anyone outside of the Company, except as required in the performance of regular corporate duties. For additional information on your confidentiality obligations, please refer to the Company's *Code of Conduct and Ethics*.

This prohibition applies specifically (but not exclusively) to inquiries about the Company that may be made by the financial press, investment analysts, or others in the financial community. It is important that all such communications on behalf of the Company be through an appropriately designated officer under carefully controlled circumstances. Unless you are expressly authorized to the contrary, if you receive any inquiries of this nature, decline comment and refer the inquirer to the head of Investor Relations, or, in his/her absence, to the Securities Compliance Officer.

**Special Procedures Applying to Directors, Officers, and Certain Other Personnel (Key Persons)**

While it is never permissible to trade based on material, nonpublic information, to provide assistance in preventing inadvertent violations and avoiding even the appearance of an improper transaction (which could result, for example, where a Covered Person engages in a trade while unaware of a pending major development), the Company is implementing the following special procedures for: (1) officers and directors of the Company and any other subsidiaries or divisions of the Company that may be designated from time to time; (2) the executive assistants of each of the foregoing officers and directors; and (3) any person who receives a grant from the Company of an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock, Stock Unit, Unrestricted Stock, Dividend Equivalent Right, Performance Share or other Performance-Based Award, or other Equity-Based Award (collectively, "Key Persons"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.<u>Pre-Clearance of All Trades</u>**. All transactions in Company stock (acquisitions, dispositions, transfers, gifts, etc.) by Key Persons must be pre-cleared by the Securities Compliance Officer. If you contemplate a transaction, contact the Securities Compliance Officer in advance at [<u>]</u>. This requirement does not apply to stock option exercises, but would cover market sales of option stock. Pre-clearance of a transaction is valid only for the five business day period immediately following receipt by the Key Person of such pre-clearance, however if a Key Person learns of material, nonpublic information during such five business day period, the Key Person may no longer trade, notwithstanding the prior receipt of clearance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.**"**<u>Black-Out Periods</u>**<u>" –</u> **<u>When Trading is Not Permitted</u>**<u>.</u> Key Persons are prohibited from trading in any securities of the Company, or entering into or amending any Rule 10b5-1 plan related to purchases or sales of the Company's securities, during the period beginning at the close of market 21 calendar days prior to the close of any calendar quarter and ending at the close of market on the second business day after the release of the Company's financial results for that quarter. Key Persons who leave the company for any reason must adhere to any Black-Out Periods that occur within 90 days following the employee's resignation, retirement or termination.

In addition, the Company may from time to time require Key Persons to refrain from trading during other specified periods when significant developments or announcements are anticipated. Remember, however, that even during periods when a Black-Out Period is not in effect, no one shall trade in the securities of the Company if such person possesses material, nonpublic information.

Key Persons may complete a pending transaction in Company stock at any time, including during a Black-Out Period, if the Key Person has entered into a binding contract or has given written instructions to the Key Person's broker at a time outside of a Black-Out Period or when the Key Person is not aware of material, nonpublic information, and such contact or instructions meets all of the requirements and applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, including Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and any applicable state securities "blue sky" laws (a "<u>Trading Plan</u>").

The Trading Plan must be in a form approved by the Company and must adhere to the Company's Policy for Trading Plans. Please bear in mind that the terms of the contract or instructions may not be altered during a Black-Out Period, or at any time the Key Person is in possession of material, nonpublic information. Any requested changes to, or cancellation of, a contract or instructions must be approved in advance on a case-by-case basis by the Securities Compliance Officer or a delegate of the Securities Compliance Officer.

**BPM–16 INSIDER TRADING POLICY**

**The Consequences of Insider Trading**

The consequences of insider trading violations can be staggering:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.For individuals who trade on inside information (or tip information to others):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.a civil penalty of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.a criminal fine (no matter how small the profit) of up to $5 million; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c.a jail term of up to twenty years.

These penalties can apply even if the individual is not a director, officer, or senior executive.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.For a company (as well as possibly any supervisory person) that fails to take appropriate steps to prevent illegal trading:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a.a civil penalty of the greater of $1 million or three times the profit gained or loss avoided as a result of the employee's violation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.a criminal penalty of up to $25 million.

Moreover, if an employee violates the Company's Insider Trading Policy, sanctions imposed by the Company, including dismissal for cause, could result from failing to comply with the Company's policy or procedures. Needless to say, any of the above consequences, even an SEC investigation that does not result in prosecution, can tarnish one's reputation and irreparably damage a career.

**Company Assistance**

Any person who has any questions about specific transactions or this Policy in general may obtain additional guidance from Labcorp's Securities Compliance Officer or a delegate of the Securities Compliance Officer. Remember, however, the ultimate responsibility for adhering to this Policy and avoiding improper transactions rests with you. In this regard, it is imperative that you use your best judgment.
