Danaher To Acquire Masimo Corporation

WASHINGTON D.C., February 17, 2026 — Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR), a global science and technology innovator, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Masimo Corporation (NASDAQ: MASI) a leading specialty diagnostics provider of pulse oximetry and other patient monitoring solutions, primarily in acute care settings. Under the terms of the agreement, Danaher will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Masimo common stock for $180 per share in cash, or a total enterprise value of approximately $9.9 billion including assumed indebtedness and net of acquired cash. This represents a transaction multiple of approximately 18x estimated 2027 EBITDA, or 15x 2027 estimated EBITDA including the full benefit of expected annual synergies<sup>1</sup>.

Rainer M. Blair, President and Chief Executive Officer, Danaher, said: "We are excited to welcome the Masimo team to Danaher. We've followed this innovative company for many years and see it as an exceptional strategic fit for Danaher. Masimo is a leader in pulse oximetry and other patient monitoring solutions, which combined with its trusted brand and differentiated technology, will greatly strengthen our diagnostics franchise. With the Danaher Business System and our global scale, we see opportunities to expand Masimo's reach and continue improving outcomes for patients, particularly those in acute care settings."

Julie Sawyer Montgomery, Executive Vice President for Diagnostics, Danaher, said: "Masimo's advanced sensor technology and AI-enabled monitoring bring powerful new capabilities to our diagnostics portfolio. Integrating these strengths into Danaher will create meaningful opportunities to innovate for clinicians and improve decision making in critical settings."

Upon completion of the transaction, Masimo will be a standalone operating company within Danaher's Diagnostics segment along with Radiometer, Leica Biosystems, Cepheid and Beckman Coulter Diagnostics. Masimo is expected to be accretive to adjusted diluted net earnings per common share by $0.15 to $0.20 in the first full year and approximately $0.70 in the fifth full year following completion of the acquisition. Masimo is expected to deliver high-single digit core revenue growth over the long-term, accelerating Danaher's Diagnostics segment core revenue growth profile.

Under Danaher's ownership, Masimo is expected to generate EBITDA of more than $530 million in 2027. Additionally, Danaher expects to realize more than $125 million of annual cost synergies and more than $50 million of annual revenue synergies by the fifth full year following completion of the acquisition.

The transaction is anticipated to close in the second half of 2026 and is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory clearances and Masimo shareholder approval. Danaher expects to fund the acquisition using cash on hand and proceeds from debt financing.

Citi acted as financial advisor to Danaher. Kirkland & Ellis LLP served as legal advisor to Danaher in connection with the Transaction.

------

Core revenue growth, adjusted diluted net earnings per common share and EBITDA are non-GAAP measures; please see "Non-GAAP Measures" below for additional information.

<sup>1</sup> 2027 estimated EBITDA including the full benefit of expected annual synergies refers to 2027 estimated EBITDA adjusted to include the full benefit of annual synergies expected to be achieved by the fifth full year following acquisition.

A note containing additional financial and other information relating to Danaher's anticipated acquisition of Masimo has been posted to the "Investors" section of Danaher's public website (www.danaher.com).

**NON-GAAP MEASURES** 

This communication contains the non-GAAP financial measures of core revenue growth, adjusted diluted net earnings per common share and EBITDA. Core revenue growth excludes the impact of currency translation and the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines. Adjusted diluted net earnings per common share in this calculation excludes amortization of intangible assets, purchase accounting charges and transaction expenses attributable to the acquisition. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The items excluded from these non-GAAP measures have been excluded because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to the business' commercial performance during the particular period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.

Each of these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the results of Danaher and/or the acquired business, as applicable, that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors understand the impact of the acquisition to Danaher's profitability, growth and future prospects. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to measure Danaher's operating and financial performance and to assess anticipated operating and financial performance of the acquired business.

Danaher does not reconcile these forecasted non-GAAP measures to their respective, comparable measure prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) because the additional elements that would be reflected in any such GAAP measures (such as the impact of currency exchange rates on profitability, acquisitions, divested product lines, discrete tax adjustments, impairments, gains and losses on investments and the outcome of legal proceedings) are difficult to predict and estimate and are often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control. The impact of these additional elements could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.

**STATEMENT REGARDING NON-GAAP MEASURES**

This communication contains the non-GAAP financial measures of core revenue growth, adjusted diluted net earnings per common share, EBITDA and return on invested capital ("ROIC"). Core revenue growth excludes the impact of currency translation and the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines. ROIC is defined as adjusted operating profit for the acquired business divided by the purchase price for the acquired business, and adjusted operating profit in this calculation excludes amortization of intangible assets and corporate allocations but reduced for the impact of income taxes. Adjusted diluted net earnings per common share in this calculation excludes amortization of intangible assets, purchase accounting charges and transaction expenses attributable to the acquisition. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The items excluded from these non-GAAP measures have been excluded because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to the business' commercial performance during the particular period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.

Each of these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing the results of Danaher and/or the acquired business, as applicable, that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors understand the impact of the acquisition to Danaher's profitability, growth and future prospects. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to measure Danaher's operating and financial performance and to assess anticipated operating and financial performance of the acquired business.

Danaher does not reconcile these forecasted non-GAAP measures to their respective, comparable measure prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) because the additional elements that would be reflected in any such GAAP measures (such as the impact of currency exchange rates on profitability, acquisitions, divested product lines, discrete tax adjustments, impairments, gains and losses on investments and the outcome of legal proceedings) are difficult to predict and estimate and are often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control. The impact of these additional elements could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.
