THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1.    Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (the company or Thermo Fisher) enables customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer by helping them accelerate life sciences research, solve complex analytical challenges, improve patient diagnostics and therapies, and increase laboratory productivity. Markets served include pharmaceutical and biotech, academic and government, industrial and applied, as well as healthcare and diagnostics.
Interim Financial Statements
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the company, are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the financial position at October 2, 2021, the results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020, and the cash flows for the nine-month periods ended October 2, 2021 and September 26, 2020. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2020, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain all information that is included in the annual financial statements and notes thereto of the company. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the 2020 financial statements and notes included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.
Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for 2020 describes the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes in the company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended October 2, 2021.
Inventories
The components of inventories are as follows:
October 2,December 31,
(In millions)20212020
Raw Materials$1,840 $1,305 
Work in Process680 540 
Finished Goods2,386 2,184 
Inventories$4,906 $4,029 
Prior to the third quarter of 2021, certain of the company’s businesses utilized the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of accounting for inventories. During the third quarter of 2021, these businesses, which comprise approximately 5% of consolidated inventories, changed from the LIFO method to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The company believes this change is preferable as it will provide a consistent, uniform costing method for all inventories across the company, better reflect the current value of inventories, and improve comparability with peers. Prior financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted due to immateriality. The cumulative pre-tax effect of this change in accounting principle of $33 million was recorded as an increase to inventories and a decrease to cost of product revenues in the third quarter of 2021. This change was recorded in the Laboratory Products and Services ($20 million) and Specialty Diagnostics ($13 million) segments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
The company’s estimates include, among others, asset reserve requirements as well as the amounts of future cash flows associated with certain assets and businesses that are used in assessing the risk of impairment. Risks and uncertainties associated with the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic materially adversely affected certain of the company’s businesses in 2020, particularly in the Analytical Instruments segment and, to a lesser extent, some businesses within the other three

(Unaudited)
segments. The negative impacts have significantly lessened so far in 2021. The extent and duration of negative impacts in the future, which may include inflationary pressures and supply chain disruptions, are uncertain and may require changes to estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the FASB amended guidance to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. Generally, this new guidance will result in the company recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The company will adopt this guidance in the fourth quarter of 2021 retrospectively to all business combinations completed in the first three quarters of 2021 and prospectively to all future business combinations. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements for prior acquisitions; however, the impact in future periods will be dependent on the contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in future business combinations.
In July 2021, the FASB amended guidance to require lessors to classify leases as operating leases if they have certain variable lease payment structures and would have selling losses if they were classified as sales-type or direct financing leases. The company adopted the guidance in the third quarter of 2021 using a prospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes. Among other things, the new guidance requires the effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates to be reflected in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The company adopted this guidance in 2021 using a prospective method. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements; however, the impact in future periods will be dependent on the extent of future events or conditions that would be affected such as enacted changes in tax laws or rates.

Note 2.    Acquisitions
The company’s acquisitions have historically been made at prices above the determined fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill, primarily due to expectations of the synergies that will be realized by combining the businesses and the benefits that will be gained from the assembled workforce. These synergies include the elimination of redundant facilities, functions and staffing; use of the company’s existing commercial infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired businesses’ products; and use of the commercial infrastructure of the acquired businesses to cost-effectively expand sales of company products.
Acquisitions have been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and the acquired companies’ results have been included in the accompanying financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.
Pending Acquisition
On April 15, 2021, the company entered into a definitive agreement under which it will acquire PPD, Inc. for $47.50 per share for a total cash purchase price of $17.4 billion plus the assumption of approximately $3.5 billion of net debt. PPD provides a broad range of clinical research and specialized laboratory services to enable customers to accelerate innovation and increase drug development productivity. Upon close of the transaction, PPD will become part of the Laboratory Products and Services Segment. Shareholders holding in aggregate approximately 60% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of PPD on April 15, 2021, have approved the transaction by written consent. No further action by other PPD shareholders is required to approve the transaction. On July 16, 2021, the company and PPD each received a request for additional information and documentary materials (collectively, the “Second Request”) from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), in connection with the FTC’s review of the proposed merger. The effect of the Second Request is to extend the waiting period imposed under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”), until the 30th day after substantial compliance by the company and PPD with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is terminated earlier by the FTC. As of October 22, 2021, both the company and PPD had certified substantial compliance with the Second Request. The transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including termination of the HSR Act waiting period and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals outside the U.S. Subject to the satisfaction of the required closing conditions, we continue to expect the merger to be completed by the end of 2021.

2021
On January 15, 2021, the company acquired, within the Laboratory Products and Services segment, the Belgium-based European viral vector manufacturing business of Groupe Novasep SAS for $834 million in net cash consideration. The European viral vector manufacturing business provides manufacturing services for vaccines and therapies to biotechnology companies and large biopharma customers. The acquisition expands the segment’s capabilities for cell and gene vaccines and therapies. The goodwill recorded as a result of this business combination is not tax deductible.
On February 25, 2021, the company acquired, within the Life Sciences Solutions segment, Mesa Biotech, Inc., a U.S.-based molecular diagnostic company, for $409 million in net cash consideration and contingent consideration with an initial fair value of $65 million due upon the completion of certain milestones. Mesa Biotech has developed and commercialized a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based rapid point-of-care testing platform available for detecting infectious diseases including COVID-19. The acquisition enables the company to accelerate the availability of reliable and accurate advanced molecular diagnostics at the point of care. The goodwill recorded as a result of this business combination is not tax deductible.
On September 30, 2021, the company assumed operating responsibility, within the Laboratory Products and Services segment, of a new state-of-the-art biologics manufacturing facility in Lengnau, Switzerland from CSL Limited to perform pharma services for CSL with capacity to serve other customers as well. The company expects to make fixed lease payments aggregating to $555 million (excluding renewals) from 2021 to 2041, with additional amounts dependent on the extent of revenues from customers of the facility other than CSL. The goodwill recorded as a result of this business combination is not tax deductible.
In addition, in the first nine months of 2021, the company acquired, within the Life Sciences Solutions segment, cell sorting technology assets, an Ireland-based life sciences distributor and a developer of a digital PCR platform and, within the Analytical Instruments segment, a Belgium-based developer of micro-chip based technology for liquid chromatography columns.
