1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Mettler-Toledo International Inc. (Mettler-Toledo or the Company) is a leading global supplier of precision instruments and services. The Company manufactures weighing instruments for use in laboratory, industrial, packaging, logistics and food retailing applications. The Company also manufactures several related analytical instruments and provides automated chemistry solutions used in drug and chemical compound discovery and development. In addition, the Company manufactures metal detection and other end-of-line inspection systems used in production and packaging and provides solutions for use in certain process analytics applications. The Company's primary manufacturing facilities are located in China, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and Mexico. The Company's principal executive offices are located in Columbus, Ohio and Greifensee, Switzerland.
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include all entities in which the Company has control, which are its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. These financial statements were prepared using information reasonably available as of September 30, 2024 and through the date of this report. Actual results may differ from those estimates due to uncertainty around ongoing developments in Ukraine, the war in the Middle East, as well as other factors.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for expected credit losses represents the Company’s best estimate based on historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost, which includes direct materials, labor and overhead, is generally determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The estimated net realizable value is based on assumptions for future demand and related pricing. Adjustments to the cost basis of the Company’s inventory are made for excess and obsolete items based on usage, orders and technological obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, reductions in the value of inventory may be required.
Inventories consisted of the following:

Finished goods127,263 124,332 
 $375,813 $385,865 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill, representing the excess of purchase price over the net asset value of companies acquired, and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. The annual evaluation for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are generally based on an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than the carrying amount.
Other intangible assets include indefinite-lived assets and assets subject to amortization. Where applicable, amortization is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit. The straight-line method of amortization reflects an appropriate allocation of the cost of the intangible assets to earnings in proportion to the amount of economic benefits obtained by the Company in each reporting period. The Company assesses the initial acquisition of intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805 "Business Combinations" and the continued accounting for previously recognized intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 "Intangible - Goodwill and Other" and ASC 360 "Property, Plant and Equipment".

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share data, unless otherwise stated)
The Company recognized amortization expense associated with the above intangible assets of $6.8 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $20.3 million and $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The annual aggregate amortization expense based on the current balance of other intangible assets is estimated to be $27.2 million for 2024, $26.1 million for 2025, $22.0 million for 2026, $20.6 million for 2027, $19.3 million for 2028, and $17.5 million for 2029. Purchased intangible amortization was $6.4 million, $5.0 million after tax, and $6.7 million, $5.2 million after tax, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $19.5 million, $15.1 million after tax, and $19.9 million, $15.4 million after tax, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In addition to the above amortization, the Company recorded amortization expense associated with capitalized software of $11.4 million and $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $34.2 million and $33.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Product revenue is recognized from contracts with customers when a customer has obtained control of a product. The Company considers control to have transferred based upon shipping terms. To the extent the Company’s arrangements have a separate performance obligation, revenue related to any post-shipment performance obligation is deferred until completed. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in total net sales and the associated expense is a component of cost of sales. Certain products are also sold through indirect distribution channels whereby the distributor assumes any further obligations to the end customer. Revenue is recognized on these distributor arrangements upon transfer of control to the distributor. Contracts do not contain variable pricing arrangements that are retrospective, except for rebate programs. Rebates are estimated based on expected sales volumes and offset against revenue at the time such revenue is recognized. The Company generally maintains the right to accept or reject a product return in its terms and conditions and also maintains appropriate accruals for outstanding credits. The related provisions for estimated returns and rebates are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements.
Certain of the Company’s product arrangements include separate performance obligations, primarily related to installation. Such performance obligations are accounted for separately when the deliverables have stand-alone value and the satisfaction of the undelivered performance obligations is probable and within the Company's control. The allocation of revenue between the performance obligations is based on the observable stand-alone selling prices at the time of the sale in accordance with a number of factors including service technician billing rates, time to install, and geographic location.
Software is generally not considered a distinct performance obligation with the exception of a few small software applications. The Company generally does not sell software products without the related hardware instrument as the software is embedded in the product. The Company’s products typically require no significant production, modification, or customization of the hardware or software that is essential to the functionality of the products.
Service revenue not under contract is recognized upon the completion of the service performed. Revenue from spare parts sold on a stand-alone basis is recognized when control is transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment or delivery. Revenue from service contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period using a time-based method. These contracts represent an obligation to perform repair and other services including regulatory compliance qualification, calibration, certification, and preventative maintenance on a customer’s pre-defined equipment over the contract period.

Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense within selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income with a corresponding offset to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded $4.4 million and $13.6 million of share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $4.2 million and $12.5 million for the corresponding periods in 2023.
Research and Development
Research and development costs primarily consist of salaries, consulting and other costs. The Company expenses these costs as incurred.

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions
The Company accounts for business acquisitions under the accounting standards for business combinations. The results of each acquisition are included in the Company's consolidated results as of the acquisition date. The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair values and any consideration in excess of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. The determination of the values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, including goodwill and intangible assets, require significant judgment. Acquisition transaction costs are expensed when incurred.

In circumstances where an acquisition involves a contingent consideration arrangement, the Company recognizes a liability equal to the fair value of the expected contingent payments as of the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded to other charges (income), net.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, January 2021 and December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01 and ASU 2022-06: Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the discontinuance of LIBOR or another referenced rate. The guidance may be applied to any applicable contract entered into before December 31, 2024. The Company amended its credit agreement and cross currency swap agreements in June 2023 to change the interest rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR and other non-U.S. dollar references, which did not change the amount or timing of cash flows. As a result, the discontinuation of LIBOR did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires incremental disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments but does not change the definition of a segment or the guidance for determining reportable segments. The Company will adopt the annual disclosure requirements in 2024 and is currently evaluating the impact of these requirements on the consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances income tax disclosures, especially related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The Company will adopt the annual disclosure requirements in 2025 and is currently evaluating the impact of these requirements on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company's global revenue mix by product category is laboratory (56% of sales), industrial (39% of sales) and retail (5% of sales). The Company's product revenue by reportable segment is proportionately similar to the Company's global mix except the Company's Swiss Operations is largely comprised of laboratory products while the Company's Chinese Operations has a slightly higher percentage of industrial products. A breakdown of the Company’s sales by product category for the three and nine months ended September 30 is as follows:

Total$954,535 $942,462 $2,827,234 $2,853,317 

The payment terms in the Company’s contracts with customers do not exceed one year and therefore contracts do not contain a significant financing component. In most cases, after appropriate credit evaluations, payments are due in arrears and are recognized as receivables. Unbilled revenue is recorded when performance obligations have been satisfied, but not yet billed to the customer. Unbilled revenue as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $40.6 million and $35.7 million, respectively, and is included within accounts receivable. Deferred revenue and customer prepayments are recorded when cash payments are received or due in advance of the performance obligation being satisfied. Deferred revenue primarily includes prepaid service contracts, as well as deferred installation.
Changes in the components of deferred revenue and customer prepayments during the nine month periods ending September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
20242023
Beginning balances as of January 1$202,022 $192,759

Foreign currency translation381 (2,838)
Ending balance as of September 30$210,650 $190,784 
The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred because the contract period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses. The value of unsatisfied performance obligations other than customer prepayments and deferred revenue associated with contracts greater than one year is immaterial.

4.     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. The Company enters into certain interest rate and cross currency swap agreements in order to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. The amount of the Company's fixed obligation interest payments may change based upon the expiration dates of its interest rate and cross currency swap agreements and the level and composition of its debt. The Company also enters into certain foreign currency forward contracts to limit the Company's exposure to currency fluctuations on the respective hedged items. For additional disclosures on derivative instruments regarding balance sheet location, fair value, and the amounts reclassified into other comprehensive income and the effective portion of the cash flow hedges, also see Note 5 and Note 9 to the interim consolidated financial statements. As also described in Note 7, the Company has designated its euro-denominated debt as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated foreign subsidiaries.
Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has entered into a number of cross currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges. The agreements convert borrowings under the Company’s credit facility into synthetic Swiss franc debt, which allows the Company to effectively change the floating rate SOFR-based interest payments, excluding the credit spread, to a fixed Swiss franc income or expense as follows:
Agreement DateAmount
Converted		Effective Swiss Franc
Interest Rate		Maturity Date
June 2019$50 million(0.82)%June 2023
November 2021$50 million(0.67)%November 2023
June 2021$50 million(0.73)%June 2024
June 2021$50 million(0.59)%June 2025
December 2023$50 million1.04%November 2026
November 2023$50 million1.16%November 2026
June 2023$50 million1.55%June 2027
June 2024$50 million1.15%June 2027
In June 2024, the Company entered into a cross currency swap arrangement, as summarized above, to replace the cross currency swap that matured in June 2024. The new swap was designated as an effective cash flow hedge.
The Company amended all active cross currency swap agreements to replace all references of LIBOR to SOFR as the interest rate benchmark to align with the amendment to the Company's Prior Credit Facility Agreement, as discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. As part of these amendments, the corresponding fixed Swiss franc interest rates were amended as well to reflect the change in the benchmark.
    The Company's cash flow hedges are recorded gross at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. A derivative gain of $5.3 million based upon interest rates at September 30, 2024, is expected to be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings in the next twelve months. The cash flow hedges remain effective as of September 30, 2024.
Other Derivatives
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts in order to economically hedge short-term trade and non-trade intercompany balances largely denominated in Swiss franc, other major

European currencies, and the Chinese Renminbi with its foreign businesses. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, these contracts are considered “derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.” Gains or losses on these instruments are reported in current earnings. The foreign currency forward contracts are recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, as disclosed in Note 5. The Company recognized in other charges (income) a net loss of $3.1 million and net loss of $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and a net gain of $1.5 million and net loss of $15.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which offset the related transaction gains (losses) associated with these contracts. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these contracts had a notional value of $916.1 million and $793.9 million, respectively.    
5.    FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had derivative assets totaling $9.9 million and $8.3 million respectively, and derivative liabilities totaling $22.1 million and $25.2 million, respectively. The Company has limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and therefore does not present all the required disclosures in tabular format. The fair values of the cross currency swap agreements and foreign currency forward contracts that economically hedge short-term intercompany balances are estimated based upon inputs from current valuation information obtained from dealer quotes and priced with observable market assumptions and appropriate valuation adjustments for credit risk. The Company has evaluated the valuation methodologies used to develop the fair values by dealers in order to determine whether such valuations are representative of an exit price in the Company’s principal market. In addition, the Company uses an internally developed model to perform testing on the valuations received from brokers. The Company has also considered both its own credit risk and counterparty credit risk in determining fair value and determined these adjustments were insignificant at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value measurement consists of observable and unobservable inputs that reflect the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A fair value hierarchy has been established that categorizes these inputs into three levels:
Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2:    Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs

The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities, which are all categorized as Level 2, that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities which are categorized as Level 1:

The Company had $8.4 million and $4.0 million of cash equivalents at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the fair value of which is determined using Level 2 inputs, through quoted and corroborated prices in active markets. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates cost.
The fair value of the Company's debt is less than the carrying value by approximately $174.1 million as of September 30, 2024. The fair value of the Company's fixed interest rate debt was estimated using Level 2 inputs, primarily discounted cash flow models, based on estimated current rates offered for similar debt under current market conditions for the Company.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, $10.0 million of contingent consideration was paid relating to the PendoTECH acquisition of which $5.6 million is included in financing activities for the amount accrued at the acquisition date and $4.4 million is included in operating activities for the amount not accrued at the acquisition date on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company no longer has a contingent consideration obligation relating to the PendoTECH acquisition as of September 30, 2024.
6.    INCOME TAXES
The Company's reported tax rate was 18.3% and 19.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively and 15.5% and 18.5% during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The provision for taxes is based upon using the Company's projected annual effective tax rate of 19.0% before non-recurring discrete tax items during 2024 and 2023. The difference between the Company's projected annual effective tax rate and the reported tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 is primarily related to a non-cash discrete tax benefit of $23 million resulting from the reduction of uncertain tax position liabilities related to the settlement of a tax audit. The reported tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 is also impacted by the timing of excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises.

(a) The benchmark interest rate is determined by the borrowing currency. The benchmark rates by borrowing currency are as follows: SOFR for U.S. dollars (plus a 10 basis points spread adjustment), SARON for Swiss franc, EURIBOR for Euro and SONIA for Great British pounds.

On May 30, 2024, the Company entered into a $1.35 billion Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement), which amended its $1.25 billion Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Prior Credit Agreement). As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $585.3 million of additional borrowings available under its Credit Agreement, and the Company maintained $71.6 million of cash and cash equivalents.
The Credit Agreement is provided by a group of financial institutions (similar to the Company's Prior Credit Agreement) and has a maturity date of 2029. It is a revolving credit facility and is not subject to any scheduled principal payments prior to maturity. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are unsecured.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at current market rates plus a margin based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Company must also pay facility fees that are tied to its leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that are similar to those contained in the prior Credit Agreement, with which the Company was in compliance as of September 30, 2024.
The Company is required to maintain (i) a ratio of net funded indebtedness to EBITDA of 3.5 to 1.0 or less, except in certain circumstances and (ii) an interest coverage ratio of 3.0 to 1.0 or greater. The Credit Agreement also places certain limitations on the Company, including limiting the ability to incur liens or indebtedness at a subsidiary level. In addition, the Credit Agreement has several events of default,

(In thousands, except share data, unless otherwise stated)
with customary grace periods applicable. The Company incurred approximately $0.2 million of debt extinguishment costs during 2024 related to the Prior Credit Agreement. The Company capitalized $2.0 million in financing fees during 2024 associated with the Credit Agreement, which will be amortized to interest expense through 2029.
In May 2023, the Company amended its Prior Credit Agreement to replace all references of LIBOR to SOFR and other non-U.S. dollar references as the interest rate benchmark.
In December 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to issue and sell $150 million 10-year Senior Notes in a private placement. The Company issued $150 million with a fixed interest rate of 5.45% (5.45% Senior Notes) in March 2023. The 5.45% Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The 5.45% Senior Notes mature in March 2033. The terms of the 5.45% Senior Notes are consistent with the previous Senior Notes as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the 5.45% Senior Notes to refinance existing indebtedness and for other general corporate purposes.
The Company has designated the EUR 125 million 1.47% Euro Senior Notes, the EUR 135 million 1.30% Euro Senior Notes, and the EUR 125 million 1.06% Euro Senior Notes as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in euro-denominated foreign subsidiaries to reduce foreign currency risk associated with the net investment. Changes in the carrying value of this debt resulting from fluctuations in the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate are recorded as foreign currency translation adjustments within other comprehensive income (loss). The Company recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) related to this net investment hedge an unrealized loss of $17.9 million and an unrealized gain of $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and an unrealized loss of $4.6 million and unrealized gain of $6.4 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company has an unrealized gain of $12.7 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of September 30, 2024.

Other Local Arrangements
In April 2018, two of the Company's non-U.S. pension plans issued loans totaling $39.6 million (Swiss franc 38 million) to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The loans have the same terms and conditions, which include an interest rate of SARON plus 97.5 basis points. This rate changed from SARON plus 87.5 basis points in August 2024. The loans were renewed for one year in April 2024.

8.    SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND TREASURY STOCK
The Company has $1.9 billion of remaining availability for its share repurchase program as of September 30, 2024. The share repurchases are expected to be funded from cash generated from operating activities, borrowings, and cash balances. Repurchases will be made through open market transactions, and the amount and timing of purchases will depend on business and market conditions, the stock price, trading restrictions, the level of acquisition activity, and other factors.

The Company has purchased 32.2 million shares at an average price per share of $297.53 since the inception of the program in 2004 through September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company spent $637.5 million and $724.0 million on the repurchase of 482,413 shares and 526,019 shares at an average price per share of $1,321.46 and $1,388.54, respectively. The Company also reissued 58,909 shares and 70,812 shares held in treasury upon the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In addition, the Company incurred $5.8 million and $6.4 million of excise tax during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively related to the Inflation Reduction Act which is reflected as a reduction in shareholders' equity in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
