## Risks

Veralto operates in competitive, regulated markets where pricing, technology, service, and distribution all matter, and where new entrants and consolidation can pressure share. Its acquisition-led model also creates integration, goodwill, and intangible asset risk, while its global footprint exposes it to foreign exchange, sanctions, trade controls, and regional economic weakness.

- **Intense competition across served markets** [high] — Competitors vary by product line and include well-resourced and low-cost players.
- **Goodwill and acquired intangible impairment** [high] — Acquisitions create large balance-sheet assets that may not retain expected value.
- **Foreign currency and geographic earnings mix** [medium] — A large share of sales and operations is outside the U.S., creating FX sensitivity.
- **Cybersecurity and data privacy incidents** [high] — Operational technology and customer data systems can be disrupted or breached.
- **Regulatory and sanctions compliance** [medium] — Serving regulated industries and cross-border markets increases compliance burden.

- Competition from large, specialized, and low-cost rivals
- Goodwill and intangible asset impairment risk from acquisitions
- Foreign exchange and non-U.S. operating exposure
- IT security and data privacy breaches could disrupt operations
- Regulatory and sanctions compliance can restrict sales

## Accounting

The most important accounting judgments relate to acquired intangibles, goodwill impairment, and the valuation assumptions used in acquisitions. Investors should also watch how revenue is split between consumables, services, software, and equipment, because the mix affects timing and comparability across periods.

- **Goodwill impairment testing** — Can create large non-cash charges if expectations weaken
- **Acquired intangible asset valuation** — Affects amortization expense and future impairment risk
- **Acquisition accounting** — Influences amortization, integration costs, and comparability
- **Revenue mix and timing** — Affects quarterly comparability and margin analysis
- **Carve-out and separation accounting** — Pre-separation results may not be fully comparable to standalone periods

- Acquired intangibles and goodwill require judgmental valuation assumptions
- Impairment testing depends on EBITDA, growth, and market multiples
- Acquisition accounting affects amortization and future earnings
- Revenue mix includes consumables, services, software, and equipment
- Carve-out history affects comparability of pre-separation periods
