Filing receipts
“Sales performance was primarily driven by increased volume associated with increased capital spending by customers in the U.S. for patient support systems, offset by lower installations in our care communications portfolio.”
“Segment operating income decreased in the first quarter compared to the prior year period primarily due to increased manufacturing and supply costs, price impacts resulting from increased competition and supply constraints which impacted select higher margin products.”
“For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the difference between our effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate was primarily driven by our near break-even pre-tax income and a tax benefit driven by an entity classification election that we made for U.S. tax purposes, which resulted in a capital loss.”
