Supplemental Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use certain non-GAAP financial measures such as organic revenue growth, which is reported revenue growth, excluding the impacts of acquisitions/divestitures and the effects of currency translation. We report these measures because Thermo Fisher management believes that in order to understand the company’s short-term and long-term financial trends, investors may wish to consider the impact of acquisitions/divestitures, and/or foreign currency translation on revenues. Thermo Fisher management uses these measures to forecast and evaluate the operational performance of the company as well as to compare revenues of current periods to prior periods.
We report adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, and adjusted EPS. We believe that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, helps investors to gain a better understanding of our core operating results and future prospects, consistent with how management measures and forecasts the company’s core operating performance, especially when comparing such results to previous periods, forecasts, and to the performance of our competitors. Such measures are also used by management in their financial and operating decision-making and for compensation purposes. To calculate these measures we exclude, as applicable:
Certain transaction-related costs, including charges for the sale of inventories revalued at the date of acquisition, significant transaction-related third-party costs, changes in estimates of contingent acquisition-related consideration, and other costs associated with obtaining short-term financing commitments for pending/recent acquisitions. We exclude these costs because we do not believe they are indicative of our normal operating costs.
Costs/income associated with restructuring activities and large-scale abandonments of product lines, such as reducing overhead and consolidating facilities. We exclude these costs because we believe that the costs related to restructuring activities are not indicative of our normal operating costs.
Equity in earnings/losses of unconsolidated entities; impairments of long-lived assets; and certain other gains and losses that are either isolated or cannot be expected to occur again with any predictability, including gains/losses on investments, the sale of businesses, product lines, and real estate, significant litigation-related matters, curtailments/settlements of pension plans, and the early retirement of debt. We exclude these items because they are outside of our normal operations and/or, in certain cases, are difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.
The expense associated with the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because a significant portion of the purchase price for acquisitions may be allocated to intangible assets that have lives of up to 20 years. Exclusion of the amortization expense allows comparisons of operating results that are consistent over time for both our newly acquired and long-held businesses and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies.
The noncontrolling interest and tax impacts of the above items and the impact of significant tax audits or events (such as changes in deferred taxes from enacted tax rate/law changes), the latter of which we exclude because they are outside of our normal operations and difficult to forecast accurately for future periods.
We report free cash flow, which is operating cash flow less net capital expenditures, to provide a view of the continuing operations’ ability to generate cash for use in acquisitions and other investing and financing activities. The company also uses this measure as an indication of the strength of the company. Free cash flow is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations such as debt service that are not deducted from the measure.
Thermo Fisher Scientific does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort items such as the timing and amount of future restructuring actions, transaction-related charges as well as gains or losses from sales of real estate and businesses, the early retirement of debt and the outcome of legal proceedings. The timing and amount of these items are uncertain and could be material to Thermo Fisher Scientific’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.
The non-GAAP financial measures of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s results of operations and cash flows included in this press release are not meant to be considered superior to or a substitute for Thermo Fisher Scientific’s results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in the tables above.

AI-Powered Pharma Manufacturing Signals Scalable Efficiency, Long-Term Cost AdvantagesApril 9, 2026 9:00 AM
InvestorsHub NewsWireAI-Powered Pharma Manufacturing Signals Scalable Efficiency, Long-Term Cost AdvantagesAINewsWire Editorial Coverage: As regulatory demands intensify and production environments become more complex, pharmaceutical manufacturers are shifting beyond traditional quality assurance systems toward a new operational model: integrating artificial intelligence directly into manufacturing workflows as a continuous compliance layer. Rather than depending on retrospective audits and manual checks, AI-driven technologies are now capable of monitoring, validating and optimizing production processes in real time to ensure alignment with evolving Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") requirements. This transformation is becoming increasingly visible across the sector and aligns with companies such as Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC) (Profile), which operate at the intersection of biotechnology and advanced digital systems, reflecting a broader transition toward intelligent, automated compliance infrastructures. Through its focus on AI, Oncotelic sits alongside other innovation-driven organizations including Rockwell Automation Inc. (NYSE: ROK), Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE: EMR), Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO) and Danaher Corp. (NYSE: DHR), all of which are contributing to this evolving technological landscape.Increasingly, manufacturers are adopting AI-powered continuous monitoring systems that evaluate compliance dynamically throughout the production process rather than after completion.Regulatory bodies around the world are placing increasing emphasis on data integrity, traceability and minimizing human error. The idea of Pharma 4.0 characterizes a significant evolution in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing.Current obstacles underscore the demand for increasingly dependable data-driven systems, with AI-enabled automation paving the way for reduced variability, enhanced consistency and decreased costly disruptions.A more significant change is underway as artificial intelligence, robotics and biotechnology come together to reshape pharmaceutical infrastructure. Click here to view the custom infographic of the Oncotelic Therapeutics editorial.Embedded Intelligence Enables Continuous ComplianceHistorically, pharmaceutical manufacturing relied heavily on batch-based testing and manual recordkeeping to verify compliance. While these methods were sufficient in earlier production models, they often introduce delays and create opportunities for human error. Increasingly, manufacturers are adopting AI-powered continuous monitoring systems that evaluate compliance dynamically throughout the production process rather than after completion.This shift supports initiatives from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), which has encouraged the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies and continuous production models. Programs such as the FDA's Emerging Technology Program and Advanced Manufacturing Technologies initiative promote the use of innovative systems designed to enhance reliability, improve product quality and minimize the risk of manufacturing failures or supply disruptions. These efforts highlight a transition from reactive oversight to proactive compliance strategies.AI technologies facilitate this transformation by regularly evaluating streams of production data, including variables such as temperature, pressure and material uniformity, to identify anomalies as they occur. Rather than detecting issues during post-production reviews, these systems enable immediate intervention, helping maintain product integrity. This ability supports real-time release testing, a model in which products are evaluated and approved based on live process data instead of delayed laboratory testing.As this approach gains adoption, companies such as Oncotelic Therapeutics are part of a broader ecosystem that increasingly views embedded intelligence as a core component of compliance. Their alignment with AI-enabled platforms reflects a growing understanding that compliance is no longer a discrete checkpoint, but an integrated function operating continuously across the manufacturing lifecycle.Heightened Regulation Accelerates Automation AdoptionRegulatory bodies around the world are placing increasing emphasis on data integrity, traceability and minimizing human error. The European Medicines Agency has released detailed guidance on computerized systems and data management, stressing the importance of secure, attributable and contemporaneous records. Likewise, FDA expectations reinforce following ALCOA+ principles, which ensure that data is attributable, legible, contemporaneous, original and accurate.These rising standards are hastening the move toward automation. Manual processes, which have long been standard across pharmaceutical manufacturing, are now seen as potential sources of variability and documentation risk. According to the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering, digital transformation initiatives are becoming essential to improving compliance outcomes and reducing operational risk in modern pharmaceutical systems.AI-enhanced automation provides a solution by standardizing workflows and ensuring consistent data capture. These systems automatically generate audit-ready documentation, reducing reliance on human input while improving transparency and accuracy. In sterile manufacturing environments, where contamination risks must be minimized, automation also reduces human involvement, thereby reinforcing compliance outcomes.Within this regulatory environment, Oncotelic Therapeutics represents a wider strategic alignment with innovation driven by compliance requirements. As pharmaceutical companies increasingly prioritize automation and data integrity, organizations leveraging AI-enabled platforms are better positioned to meet evolving regulatory expectations.Pharma 4.0 Drives Intelligent Production EcosystemsThe idea of Pharma 4.0 characterizes a significant evolution in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. Sparked by Industry 4.0, this model integrates digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics and advanced analytics into interconnected production systems. Research indicates that these technologies are transforming biopharma operations by increasing productivity, improving product quality and supporting more agile, data-driven decision-making across the value chain.In such environments, manufacturing systems are fully connected, enabling data to move between equipment, quality systems and supply chain processes. AI-driven analytics use this data to optimize performance, anticipate maintenance needs and ensure compliance. This integration enhances traceability, enabling manufacturers to monitor every stage of production with greater precision.Large pharmaceutical companies are now employing these capabilities. Pfizer Inc. has implemented digital manufacturing programs that leverage AI and data-driven systems to improve efficiency and operational performance. Johnson & Johnson has invested in AI-powered platforms to enhance decision-making and streamline development processes, while Novartis AG is using machine learning and advanced analytics to build intelligent manufacturing systems and integrate AI across production environments.
