Filing receipts

In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations increased net sales outside of the United States by $8.4 million and $40.4 million, respectively, primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro against the United States dollar.

Consolidated Cash Flows — For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: Net cash flows provided by operating activities of $695.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased $125.1 million over the same period last year primarily due to lower tax payments during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, which primarily included $160.0 million of local tax payments associated with the sale of Critical Care and higher tax payments related to the U.S. repatriation tax and federal and state estimated taxes, partially offset by higher working capital needs.

The change in gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily driven by a 0.7 percentage point and 0.5 percentage point negative impact, respectively, from foreign currency rate fluctuations, including the settlement of foreign currency hedging contracts, partially offset by lower manufacturing expenses.
