Management Commentary

We delivered strong double-digit adjusted earnings per share growth in the fourth quarter.

The benefits of our diversified portfolio were evident as strong performances from Interventional and Surgical helped offset softness in Interventional Urology revenues.

Following the separation, RemainCo is expected to generate constant currency revenue growth of 6%+

We are expecting 2025 adjusted constant currency growth of 1% to 2%. This reflects the trading environment we see for the twelve months

Our 2025 outlook assumes continued pressure on our interventional urology business due to softness in UroLift.

Overall Sentiment: Positive regarding acquisitions and separation but cautious about 2025 due to specific business headwinds.
