“Over the past five years, we have made several, strategic portfolio moves to strengthen our leading positions in life sciences and diagnostics and accelerate our long-term growth and earnings trajectory. We established our Dental and Environmental & Applied Solutions segments as stand-alone public companies in Envista and Veralto. We largely replaced their revenue contribution through the acquisitions of higher long-term growth and higher margin businesses such as Cytiva, Aldevron and Abcam. Cytiva is the industry’s premier bioprocessing franchise, and the additions of Aldevron and Abcam expanded our footholds in the highly attractive areas of genomics and proteomics. Additionally, demand for respiratory diagnostics has expanded significantly, and Cepheid’s respiratory franchise is more than six times larger today than it was before the COVID-19—a strong position we expect to sustain long-term given Cepheid’s differentiated offering and leading presence at the point-of-care.”
